Molested Zulong at the beginning

Chapter 320 Xiang Yu Hosts a Banquet for Bai Su

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

The dark sky was pale, and after a night of hard fighting, the young female general stood with a gun, her eyes slightly closed, and white mist was exhaled from her mouth from time to time.

The braids coiled on the temples fell down and scattered into strands. The long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the breeze blew in front of him. His cheeks were slightly smoky, and he felt a rare coolness.

As Han Xin led troops to rush to help, Xia Jun's pursuers temporarily retreated into the city, giving her a chance to adjust and rest.

Looking back, there are less than five or six hundred of the thousands of cavalry who followed behind, and they are all sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Some pour water on their heads, some bandage their wounds, and some are heavy go to sleep.

Seeing his subordinates in distress, Xiang Yu bit his lips tightly with his bright teeth, and unconsciously clenched his spear tightly in his slender jade hands, his fingertips were slightly white.

Since Jiangdong raised troops, she has always been invincible, and this is the first time she is in such a mess today.

Although she gritted her teeth with hatred for Bai Su's ambush strategy, but what worries her most right now is another matter.

Why is the map sent by Yu Ji a trap set by the enemy? Could it be that Yu Ji betrayed herself as Long Qie said?

Impossible, how could Yu Ji betray her.

It was clearly agreed that when she restores the state of Chu in the future and becomes the number one general in the world, she will take Yu Ji in the most majestic carriage to see the prosperity of the capital of the state of Chu together.

For a long time, the two of them believed in each other, so how could Yu Ji betray her.

It must be the trap set by Bai Su, and he accidentally fell into the trap of the other party.

Although Xiang Yu comforted herself so much, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, and her slender jade hands slightly clenched the spear.

"Da da da!"

A rumble of hoofbeats echoed across the fields.

I saw several knights jumping up from the high slope and running towards Xiang Yu's position.

"General, the king called you back, and I have something important to discuss with you."

Several cavalrymen dismounted from their horses, knelt in front of Xiang Yu on one knee, and bowed their hands in salute.

"I see……"

Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes, without the slightest surprise on his heroic and pretty face, all of this was in her expectation.

After all, Yu Ji was their carefully selected spy. She originally wanted to get close to the enemy's commander, spy on information, and find an opportunity to assassinate Bai Su by the way.

But right now, not only did the assassination mission fail, but there was even a big problem with the intelligence.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a spy has been bought by the other party. For such a big matter, you must discuss it with her.

......

In the camp of the Chu army.

Xiang Yu walked into the big tent with a spear in one hand.

At this time, in the big tent, besides Mi Xiongxin, King Huai of Chu, who was guarding Luzhu, Xiang Liang was walking back and forth in the big tent, frowning.

As the big tent of King Chu, it symbolizes authority and dignity. Anyone who enters must remove his armor and is not allowed to enter with weapons, but Xiang Yu is an exception.

In the big tent, Xiang Liang's jet-black hair fell down like a waterfall, without any care at all, and he was simply wearing a long skirt, with an ugly expression on his face, obviously he had heard something bad information.

Mi Xiongxin's fair and pretty face was full of tiredness, and she was yawning lazily. When she saw Xiang Yu walking in, she hurriedly moved her little butt and adjusted her sitting posture: "Xiang Yu, you are back."

Xiang Yu casually handed over the spear to the guard at the side, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the last general ventured in underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by the enemy army. I hope the King will punish you."

Mi Xiongxin waved her little hands, and said comfortingly, "This battle is not Aiqing's fault, but another reason."

Xiang Yu was stunned: "Another reason?"

Mi Xiongxin exchanged glances with Luzhu next to him, who nodded lightly, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it over: "It's still General Xiang, take a look for yourself."

"This is a letter from Yuji..."

Looking at the familiar handwriting at the beginning, Xiang Yu suddenly had a look of surprise on his tired face.

Ever since Yu Ji fed the tiger with her body and approached Bai Su, the two hadn't been in touch for a long time. Coupled with some accidents that happened last night, she was full of worries about Yu Ji.

Now that she finally got a letter from Yu Ji, she naturally wanted to see how Yu Ji would explain it.

It must be the trap set by Bai Su, no matter who in the world would betray her, Yu Ji would never betray her.

But as her eyes moved down slowly, she froze in place, her eyes were unbelievable, her lips trembled slightly: "This...how is this possible!!!"

The letter fell from her fingertips and fell to the ground.

Han Xin, who was following beside him, couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He picked up the letter curiously and looked at it. His usually unmoving eyes couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment.

The content of the letter is very simple. Yuji said that after getting along with Lord Bai for a period of time, she gradually fell in love with Lord Bai in her heart and gave up the mission of assassination.

From then on, I hope to be able to serve the adults wholeheartedly.

I'm sorry that I can't fulfill my childhood promise, because...

She has now found a new purpose in life, and I hope Xiang Yu will stop looking for her.

Han Xin blinked his eyes calmly, and murmured: "Miss Yu Ji likes that Daliang Zao? No wonder...the Xia Jun laid an ambush in advance, so there is an internal response?"

"But it's not surprising. Since ancient times, a hero deserves a beauty. Although Bai Su is an enemy, he is impeccable in terms of talent and background."

"No matter how popular the folks are, he is quite prestigious. I don't know how many women have admired him for a long time. It is normal for Miss Yu Ji to like him..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she stopped abruptly.

As for the reason is very simple...

Xiang Yu tightly clenched his fists, his silver teeth were clenched tightly, and the eyes that stared at him were filled with astonishing killing intent, like an enraged lion, the air in the entire tent seemed to freeze up.

Han Xin blinked his eyes cutely, and tilted his head innocently: "Boss Xiang, don't stare at me like that, it's scary."

Xiang Yu said in a deep voice, "Concubine Yu will never betray me."

Han Xin scratched his cheek with his fair little hand, and said, "But it's clearly written in this letter..."

"I don't believe a single word of this letter. I must find Yu Ji and ask her face to face..."

Xiang Liang looked at the two who were about to pinch each other, and hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "Yu'er, don't be angry, since the matter has already happened, there is no point in arguing about what was right or wrong before, and we should think about it now." What to do, something happened to Jiangdong..."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and his slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "What happened to Jiangdong?"

Xiang Liang sighed slightly and said, "That Bai Su is really too cunning, we didn't have many cavalry, and nearly half of them were lost last night, and Xia Jun took advantage of our broken leg in a short time Opportunity, directly dispatched a team of thousands of people."

"They rushed thousands of miles to our rear and harassed us everywhere, but we couldn't keep up with them because of the lack of cavalry, and the man who commanded the troops was a fierce general named Fan Kuai. , Ordinary people are no match for her at all."

"As a result, the food and grass in the rear cannot be transported for a while, and the food and grass in our camp is less than a month. If we continue to let it go like this, the situation may not be good."

"The most irritating thing is that Xia Jun turned a blind eye to the troops of Wei, South Korea and other six countries, and harassed us exclusively."

"The reason why your majesty is able to secure the position of the leader of the coalition army and command all parties is because of the strongest strength."

"Once there is a big problem with our Chu army, which leads to a great loss of prestige, then those people, let alone sending troops to rescue them, may turn a blind eye to our difficulties on the premise that the Xia army sends envoys and promises benefits, and even Fight back."

"So, we must find a way to stabilize the situation and let them see that we can win, and they will help whoever wins!"

After Xiang Yu pondered for a long time, he said coldly: "Hmph, as long as I, Xiang Yu, are around, they don't have to think about anything different."

Xiang Liang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "You mean..."

Xiang Yu said: "First send envoys to the Han and Wei coalition forces to ask for horses, let Long Qi and Ji Bu lead the troops back to defend Jiangdong, and encircle and suppress Fan Kuai's troops."

Xiang Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on envoys alone, ordering these coalition forces."

Xiang Yu's slender black eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, "So...send an envoy to the city, and I will set up a banquet in a place of great importance several miles away from the two armies, and invite Bai Su to come to the banquet. If he agrees, then we will have a temporary truce, and I will personally ask the coalition forces for supplies."

"If you don't agree, then I will forcibly attack the city. Even if the last soldier is exhausted, I will bite off his neck and tear off a few pieces of flesh. At worst, both sides will suffer. Now that the battle situation in the north has not stabilized, the white Su absolutely doesn't want to fight us head-on until the last moment..."

"After all, our Chu army and Xia army will lose both sides, and the main force on the grassland will not be able to withdraw. Once the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains are finished fighting with us, leading to the fall of Guanzhong, the main force fighting on the grassland will suddenly be interrupted in terms of logistics and supplies. , Facing the siege of the Xiongnu and Donghu, the entire army may be wiped out."

"Such a situation will only benefit the barbarians on the grassland and those people from the Six Kingdoms with different ideas."

"That Bai Su is a smart person, but what a smart person hates the most is fighting with others and entrusting his fate to the illusory will of God."

"I can use the opportunity of this banquet to have a good meeting with Bai Su, and see what kind of man the enemy I have fought with for a long time is like."

"At the same time, I want to ask Concubine Yu personally what's going on. If I don't figure out what's going on, I'll always have a thorn in my heart that I can't get out."

After Xiang Liang heard what his niece said, he couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, she still couldn't let go of Yu Ji's matter.

However, the morale of the three armies now needs to be carried by Xiang Yu's banner, and that's the only way to go.

She couldn't help asking: "Since you said that Bai Su is a smart person, will he come to such a risky banquet?"

Xiang Yu clenched his white jade hands tightly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but if he really has the guts, he will definitely come."

Chapter 320 The second slave is willing to serve as a lobbyist for adults

The sky began to rain heavily.

In the quiet courtyard, there are beauties with beautiful jade waists, curtain beads on skirts, and fingers plucking the strings, sitting between the corridors.

The moving melody makes people sink into it.

Like a fairy walking out of calligraphy and painting, she perfectly blended with the drizzle, forming a stunning picture.

At this time, there were three people sitting in front of the desk, boiling wine with the fire, and some green plums floated on it, exuding a faint aroma of wine.

Although the white-robed young man in the lead sat lazily and casually, he was full of grandeur, not like a nobleman, but in every word, there was an aura that no one dared to underestimate.

"Xiang Yu invited your lord to go to the banquet. It's clear that there is a conspiracy. My lord...we'd better not go."

The female general in a black skirt frowned after reading the letter in her hand, and couldn't help but speak.

"Yes."

Hearing Zhang Han's words, Liu Ji also nodded, and a look of vigilance appeared in his big peach eyes: "Xiang Yu is extremely murderous, like tigers and wolves. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, if something goes wrong, Then what to do."

Yu Ji's finger that plucked the strings paused for a while.

She hesitated for a moment, then continued to play the piano, but she couldn't help but glanced at the young man in white with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to hear what Bai Su was going to do.

Bai Su put down the wine cup in his hand, and sighed helplessly: "If I can, I don't want to go, obviously I have the advantage, why go to negotiate with her, but this time I can't do it."

"Why?"

Liu Ji blinked his big peach eyes, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Something happened in Mobei..." Bai Su said after pondering for a long time.

Liu Ji's slender eyebrows couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "This... How is this possible? In the battle of Mobei, the general Meng Tian personally commanded the army and led the elite divisions of the Central Plains. The Xiongnu and Donghu are only second-rate soldiers. How can you be Meng Tian's opponent?"

Zhang Han also nodded, agreeing with Liu Ji's statement.

Although secretly smuggled and provided a lot of iron and armor to the Huns, it is still far from the full armor of the Central Plains.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Meng Tian doesn't make any fatal mistakes, the situation in the grassland is a foregone conclusion.

Bai Su sighed: "So... this time it's not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster."

As he spoke, he threw a recently delivered secret letter from his sleeve to the two of them.

Liu Ji and Zhang Han looked down, they seemed to have seen something terrifying, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, plague... plague! ! !

They never expected that a natural disaster would suddenly erupt on the grassland.

Bai Su said, "No, to be precise, it should be called the Black Death, or... the plague."

According to the secret letter sent by the imperial court, the situation in the grassland was very good in the early days. The Hu people's coalition army was no match for Beiting Duhufu. Often, one Han would fight against the five Hu, and only a thousand troops could drive back tens of thousands of troops.

But as it gradually penetrated into the land of Mobei, the situation gradually became wrong.

Soldiers continued to get sick for no reason, began to bleed their noses, their skin turned black, festered, and died soon. The three armies panicked for a while.

Sensing that something was wrong, Meng Tian immediately stopped the three armies from advancing to prevent greater losses. While strictly controlling the spread of the disease, he immediately reported the situation to Xianyang.

According to some features in the letter, Bai Su had roughly guessed that it was probably because the plague had not escaped.

In history, the plague originated in the grasslands, but because the nomads did not have written words, these things were not recorded. It was not recorded until they had large-scale contacts with the Central Plains.

Almost every one to two hundred years on the grassland, a large-scale plague broke out.

As for the reason, it is also simple.

The grasslands live by water and grass, and they eat according to the sky. Unlike the Central Plains, they don't have much food storage. Once there is a severe drought or snowstorm, a large number of livestock will die, and no one will give them relief.

The powerful tribes on the grassland will plunder the resources of other tribes when they lack livestock, and the herdsmen who have been plundered and have nothing, start digging holes to eat mice in order to fill their stomachs.
