Legends in Chu and Han - C342
Inside the Xianyang City General’s Residence, Long Tianyu set up a banquet to welcome the guests and announce the deployment of troops into the Sichuan. This time, the banquet was completely unprecedented, with several tens of generals having higher positions, and the seats being separated according to their status as civil and military officials.
From top to bottom, the Wen Chen’s seats were: Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Li Shiqi, Li Shiqi, Li Shiqi, Shu Sun Tong, Lu Jia, Lou Jing, Sui He, Jia Shen etc. From top to bottom, the Wu General’s seats were: Cao Can, Guan Ying, Yu Ziqi, Yu Ziqi, Xiahou Ying, Fan Kuai, Fan Kuai, Chen Ying, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang, Lv Chen, Yuan Ying, Li Shang, Yang Tong,, Fir, Sima Mao, Wang Bin, Wang Bin, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao, Gu Songtao …
The atmosphere was sad, the war had temporarily stopped, but the current result was not what everyone was hoping for. The strongest allied army was actually given to the Sichuan deep down, and all the generals present fought for the Duke of Han, especially those like Fan Kuai who had a rough character, who were drinking while feeling depressed.
Long Tianyu looked at his subordinates, which included almost all of the officials and officials of the Western Han Dynasty. For a moment, he felt a thousand emotions, as if he was still in a dream, and he was ready to wake up at any moment to return to the Twenty-first Century.
History is like water, its laws are fixed, it goes from high to low, this is its law, anything that goes against it will be mercilessly swallowed up, but that does not mean that you cannot change its trajectory, like water flowing eastward, but through which channel, it is controlled by man.
History does not stop or end because of a person’s appearance or disappearance. It still follows its rules, but if you comply with it and use it well, you can become the ruler of history and gain its recognition. On the other hand, when you violate the laws of history and obstruct the development of history, you can also eat the consequences.
For example, if he killed Liu Bang, he himself became Pei Gong, and participated in the rebellion against history. Coincidentally, by chance, he was bestowed the title of the King of Han and entered Shu, so history still continued to unfold, without any damage. To it, everyone was just a passerby, even though it lasted for five thousand years, it didn’t matter what kind of person you were, it would only last for dozens of years. In the end, it was still just dust that was buried by the yellow sand.
Long Tianyu sighed, raised the bronze cup, and laughed calmly: “I can totally understand your feelings, the current predicament might not be a bad thing, if we were to end up in the Pengcheng, where the cities are flourishing, there will definitely be many warriors living in peace, not thinking much, in that situation where the seventeen dukes are present, where the civil war is unending, when will we be able to unite under the heavens? Now that we have retreated back to the Sichuan, on the surface, it seems like it will be difficult, but actually, this will allow us to choose a more stable base of operations in the Central Plains in the future.
Fan Kuai could not help but ask: “King Han, when will we be able to fight our way back to the Central Plains?”
Long Tianyu slightly smiled, “At least a year, at most three years. I will definitely make a comeback, and lead the deer to the Central Plains!”
“Ah?” “Really?” Fan Kuai could not hold back his surprise, a look of excitement on his face. A year or three years, was not a long time ago.
If that was the case, this trip to Sichuan was a good opportunity for them to raise their troops and gather their forces. Lying in the depths of the Sichuan, they used the Sichuan’s heavenly danger zone to allow all the dukes there to fight against each other. At this time, the Chinese side would watch from the sidelines as they carve out their way out of the Shu Dao, annex the Central Plains, and unify the world.
Long Tianyu continued: Three days later, the army will be evacuating the Xianyang, heading towards the southwest Sichuan. The Southern Zheng County is only a few hundred kilometers away, but it is located between the Qin Mountains and Ba Shan, and the rolling mountains will be extremely difficult to advance. There are many paths between the two peaks, cliffs, ravines, and valleys, and so on.
“We obey!” The generals cheered as they put down their wine cups, their fighting spirits rising.
Because there were thirty thousand troops leading the way and three to four hundred thousand troops leading the way, it was almost equivalent to the combined strength of the world’s allied armies, so all of the generals were not worried about being ambushed.
After the royal ball ended, all the people withdrew. Xiao He, brimming with alcohol, asked before he left, “King Han, I have a request.”
Long Tianyu and Zhang Liang were slightly stunned, the former smiled: “Young Master Xiao, our family does not speak of pleasantries, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
Xiao He said: “Before I left, I wanted to collect the Prime Minister of the Xianyang City, as well as some laws and books from the Censor to bring to Han Zhong, in the future, maybe they will be of help to the Provenance.”
Zhang Liang laughed: “The laws and books of the Han emperor have long been sent to Prime Minister Qin, the Censorate, the Three Official and Nine Official Palaces, as well as all the laws and regulations hidden in the treasury. All the dangerous mountains and rivers as well as all the ancient scrolls of the entire country, all of these have been sent to you as gifts to Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao He stared blankly at her, then looked at Long Tianyu in shock and sighed, “The King of Han also knows me well!”
Long Tianyu smiled and shrugged his shoulders, then said: “There is no need for the two Father-in-law to be so courteous, and there are no outsiders right now. Other than giving out all of the ancient records of the Rules, there are also all of E Panggong’s peerless treasures that have been shipped to the Wetlands.
Zhang Liang suddenly laughed out loud, “My god, when Chu Army enters the Xianyang, E Panggong who is famous for gathering rare treasures is actually empty-handed, or maybe the ones that are left behind are all fake, Xiang Yu must be so angry that smoke is coming out from her head!”
Xiao He nodded his head, and smiled: “I reckon that he is extremely angry, and will even burn E Panggong a big torch to vent his anger.”
Long Tianyu was suddenly stunned, would Xiang Yu really burn E Panggong? Was it also him who forced him?
Very quickly, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Long Tianyu stood on the general’s platform and started to order his troops. The first group of troops led by Guan Ying led by their leader, with Guan Ying as their general, Zhou Chang as their assistant general, Lv Ze and Xue Ou as the generals. Lu Jia and Lou Jing were the strategists, leading the hundred thousand soldiers to the southwest.
The second group consisted of Yu Ziqi as the main general, Chen Ying as the deputy general, Yuan Ying and Li Shang as the cavalry generals, Sui He and Jia De as the strategists, leading a hundred thousand men and women out in half a day.
The third group consisted of Cao Can as the main general, Wang Ling as the deputy general, Yang Tong and Ge Li as the cavalry generals, Li Shiqi and Sun Tong as the strategists, with the leader’s military strength unchanged.
In the end, when it was the fourth batch of people, as expected, Long Tianyu took the lead, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Xiahou Ying, Fan Kuai and Fan Kuai followed beside him. The nine wives also requested to go with him, otherwise, they would not follow him at all costs. Long Tianyu could only agree to it helplessly, this group was the busiest group of them all, the Chunyu Wan-er, Li Yueyao, Yi Yi, Yu Ji, Shishi, Lv Zhi, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Zhang Qian, Guo Yuying.
The large army majestically left the Xianyang, leaving behind the four generals of Fir, Sima Mao, Wang Bin and Gu Songtao in charge of the last escort, and sent people to inform the Chu Army to come and take over the city.
Just like this, the Han Army completely left the Xianyang, and headed towards the towering Qin Mountains and the basin encircled by the Boundless Ba Mountain. No one noticed that in the corner of the army, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew out, flying towards the east of the Xianyang.
