The atmosphere in Chu Di suddenly became tense. Wang Jian's people began to really search for Xiang Liang's whereabouts. Once they found Xiang Liang, they swarmed up and killed a rebel.
In just a few days, Xiang Liang's scope of activities was controlled by Wang Jian. No matter which way he fled, there were always Qin soldiers waiting for him.
Xiang Liang led his men to rush left and right in the Chu area. Often they would just escape from the siege at the cost of hundreds of men, but soon fell into another siege.
There were also people from Zhao Tuo who had been plotting against him. Over the past few days, Xiang Liang suffered heavy losses. The men and horses he had managed to gather were about to be doomed.
Xiang Liang was a little desperate and shouted to the sky: "Wang Jian, you are really confused. What good will it do to him if you kill me?"
…………
In Wang Jian's camp, Wang Heng was conspiring with Wang Jian again.
Wang Heng whispered: "Grandpa, in my opinion, this Liang's skills are low and he is stupid. Cooperating with him is really dragging us down."
Wang Jian nodded in agreement: "Recently, I have also been thinking about whether another person should be selected to replace Xiang Liang. But... there are not many such people in Chu. After all, the Xiang family He has been a general for several generations and still has a certain influence in the Chu region."
Wang Heng smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, why did you forget? No matter how influential Xiang Liang is, he is just a minister."
Wang Jian was slightly startled and looked at Wang Heng: "What do you mean..."
Wang Heng said in a low voice: "Among the six countries, King Huai of Chu is the most sympathetic. Most people in Chu miss King Huai of Chu. Why doesn't my grandfather take this opportunity to order people to carry the banner of King Huai of Chu?"
Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Go on."
Wang Heng said in a low voice: "The Kingdom of Chu was destroyed and the clan was captured, but there are always some bloodlines flowing among the people. We can find these bloodlines, and we can't even find the real descendants of the King of Chu. Just pick a person at random and say he is a descendant. , who can know?”
"We randomly find a young man with no roots and foundation, and say that he is a descendant of the King of Chu. We help him ascend the throne. As for the king's title, we also give him the title of King Huai to arouse the Chu people's nostalgia for their homeland."
"As for King Huai of Chu, our people have been placed around him. He is just a puppet. King Huai is young and has little knowledge, so he can only be at our mercy. I am afraid he is hundreds of times more useful than Xiang Liang. more than."
Wang Jian nodded slightly, but he quickly shook his head: "I can't do it, I can't do it."
Wang Heng asked: "Why can't you do it?"
Wang Jian said: "Our cooperation with Xiang Liang is to support the invaders and respect themselves. If we support King Huai of Chu in Chu, it will be rebellion against Qin. This is a serious crime of rebellion."
Wang Heng laughed: "Grandpa, do you think that if the emperor knows that we are colluding with Xiang Liang, he will not regard us as traitors? Cooperation with Xiang Liang is a capital crime, and cooperation with King Huai is also a capital crime."
"Since they are all capital crimes, what else is there to care about? What's more..."
Having said this, Wang Heng looked around cautiously. Although there was no one nearby, he still lowered his voice: "What's more, if things really change in the future. What if it turns against Da Qin? I, the Wang family, will help Chu Huai King, truly establish the Kingdom of Chu."
"When the state of Chu is stable and the time is right, King Huai of Chu will be deposed and I, the Wang family, will be the king of Chu."
Wang Jian stared at Wang Heng dumbfounded, and after a long while he said: "Your father said you were brave, and today I finally saw it."
Wang Heng smiled slightly and said: "My grandson is just desperate for change. My grandson comes from a humble background and can only take the wrong path. Otherwise, how can he get ahead?"
Wang Jian sighed: "Heng'er, did you do this without caring about your posthumous reputation? Haven't you thought about how the historians will describe my Wang family in the future?"
Wang Heng said with a smile: "Shang Tang and Zhou Wenwu were both regicides and usurpers. What are their posthumous names now?"
Wang Jian hesitated for a long time and whispered: "This matter cannot be done unless it is absolutely necessary."
Wang Heng was not surprised. He whispered: "My grandson will not do anything unless it is absolutely necessary. However, it is always good to prepare for a rainy day. If my grandfather agrees, I will immediately order people to search for the descendants of King Chu."
"If we can use him, we will support him as the king of Chu. If we can't use him, we will kill him with one sword."
Wang Jian nodded.
Wang Heng added: "In addition, we must place trusted followers in the army as soon as possible. From the generals to the corps commanders, it is best that they are all our people. In this way, if there is a change, this 100,000-strong army will You can follow me, Wang."
Wang Jian agreed again.
He looked at Wang Heng, sighed and said: "Recently, I have been thinking about whether you are the blessing or the bane of my Wang family. What you do may make my Wang family revive, or it may make my Wang family revive." We are in a desperate situation." High school anchor
Wang Heng said: "My grandson is just a boat. Now the Wang family is trapped on an isolated island, and the flood outside is overwhelming. If you don't take a boat, you will be drowned one day. If you take a boat, you may be able to get ashore, or the boat may capsize. , will be buried in the belly of the fish sooner. The grandchild is neither a disaster nor a lucky star, it is just a way out for the Wang family. "
Wang Jian nodded: "That's all, go ahead."
Wang Heng responded and left in a hurry.
…………
On the hilltop near Wang's camp, there was a man looking over here with a telescope. He is Li Xin's nephew, Li Ji.
Li Ji looked at it and tutted: "This Wang Heng has come out again, and he is still bringing his most trusted entourage. I'm afraid he is going to make some moves again. Come on, follow me."
A servant named Li Bing beside Li Ji agreed and followed.
Li Ji had been in Chu for more than ten days. After he arrived, he did not immediately enter Wang Jian's camp. Instead, he hid on a nearby barren mountain and quietly observed Wang Jian.
Now Li Ji has mastered a lot of things. For example, the place where Wang Jian and Xiang Liang met, and the place where Wang Jian secretly delivered grain and grass to Xiang Liang privately.
Any piece of this evidence is enough to convict Wang Jian of death.
However, Wang Jian and Xiang Liang have been fighting very lively recently, as if they were fighting with real swords and guns, which is different from the deliberate acting in the past.
Li Ji was puzzled at first, but in the end he could only think that the two people had a falling out.
The evidence has almost been collected now, but no trace of Song Liu has been found. There are two possibilities. Either Song Liu was killed, or Song Liu was hidden in a secret place. He could not see it with a telescope on a barren mountain, so Li Ji planned to enter the military camp and investigate quietly.
Before coming to Chu Land, Ying Zheng gave Li Ji a list of names. The generals above were all personally appointed by Ying Zheng and can be trusted. After arriving in Chu, you can seek their help.
But Li Ji was a little worried about this. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away in this place. Who knows if they have other thoughts under Wang Jian? If they took refuge in Wang Jian, they would have fallen into a trap themselves.
But before leaving, Li Xin also gave Li Ji a list of names. Among the generals who went on the expedition, some were Li Xin's own people.
However, Li Xin did not mean to win over the generals, but these people had either received favors from Li Xin or had followed him in battles in all directions, so they admired Li Xin extremely.
Li Ji compared the two lists and found that there was a person named Liu Wei in them. This person should be reliable.
So Li Ji stole some clothes, disguised himself as a Qin soldier, and entered Liu Wei's camp.
During the day, Li Ji could still fish in troubled waters, but when the soldiers began to eat, Li Ji couldn't hide anymore. Because the soldiers buried pots and cooked rice in units of corps, it is easy to find that Li Ji did not belong to any corps.
Whenever this happens, Li Ji always hides and secretly eats the dry food he brought. I have to say, these past few days have been really miserable.
Every day Li Ji always used various excuses to conduct overt and covert visits to find Song Liu's whereabouts, but he always found nothing.
Later, he simply searched tent by tent. From Song E, he knew Song Liu's appearance. What's more, Song Liu was an old man. If he were really among the Qin soldiers, he would be very conspicuous.
Unfortunately, Li Ji found nothing in the end. However, after searching like this, he still found some unusual places.
In Liu Wei's military camp, there was an inconspicuous tent. This camp is small and even a little shabby. Every time Li Ji wanted to get closer, he was scolded away.
Then he discovered that there was always a group of soldiers and horses, about one hundred people, wandering around near the camp. These one hundred people seemed to be wandering around, but they were actually watching the camp secretly.
Should a team of people be dedicated to guard such a dilapidated camp? And it was done in a deceptive way.
There are only two possibilities, either there is an important treasure inside, or there is an important person inside.
Li Ji thinks the latter is more likely. He even vaguely guessed that Song Liu would probably stay inside. However...how to get in touch with Song Liu was a problem. Li Ji was a little hesitant about finding Liu Wei directly and revealing his identity.
…………
Wang Jian was sitting in the camp, studying the situation in Chu. Wang Heng's words before were like a curse, lingering in his mind.
Become the King of Chu? That's better than being a general in the court. But... can this King of Chu be stable? Can the tiger and wolf masters of Great Qin let him go?

Wang Jian was struggling when suddenly Wang Heng hurried in and said to Wang Jian: "Xiang Liang sent someone to deliver something."
Wang Jian asked: "What is it?"
Wang Heng brought over a wooden box. The box was opened and there was a bow inside.
This bow is not a treasure bow, just an ordinary bow. It was half-used, had a lot of wear and tear, and even had a lot of dust on it. It was dirty, as if it hadn't been touched for many years.
Wang Jian chuckled: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden? Xiang Liang is trying to persuade me. Now he understands that he is a bird? He actually dared to attack and kill my troops before. How stupid."
Wang Heng whispered: "My grandson has already been in contact with his people. Xiang Liang said that he was a crony of my Wang family. He killed his five thousand men first. He thought that my Wang family was going to cross the river and burn the bridge, so he took revenge." .”
Wang Jian frowned: "It's nonsense, how can this happen?"
Wang Heng said: "My grandson said the same thing. It may be that Xiang Liang recognized the wrong person and mistook other generals' troops for my Wang family's cronies."
Wang Jian nodded and said to Wang Heng, "Did Xiang Liang say that?"
Wang Heng said with a smile: "Xiang Liang only has more than 300 people left, all of them are injured, and they are really exhausted. He asked me, Wang, to still secretly help him according to past practice, and he is willing to do this well. Bird, let me, Wang, use this bow."
Wang Jian thought for a while and said: "Yes, of course it is possible. But I am becoming more and more doubtful about Xiang Liang's ability."
Wang Hengshen nodded in agreement and said: "Therefore, Sun'er suggests that the cooperation with Xiang Liang may continue. In addition, King Huai should also make some preparations. If Xiang Liang really fails, , we still have King Huai that we can use."
Wang Jian nodded: "Okay, let's do it."
Wang Heng did not leave, but said hesitantly: "There is one more thing that I find very strange."
Wang Jian asked: "What is it?"
Wang Heng said in a low voice: "Recently, I have been keeping our people safe in the army. Everything else went smoothly, except for Liu Wei, where we encountered some resistance."
"Liu Wei has a close confidant named Liu Feng. This man was originally a beggar, but later he followed Liu Wei, and his surname was Liu. This man was a centurion, and his group was extremely stubborn. I think I gave him a few soldiers for free, but he didn't want them."
Wang Jian said: "What's so strange about this?"
Wang Heng said: "The strange thing is that Liu Feng's more than 100 people have been wandering in one place for several days and never left."
Wang Jian exclaimed: "What's there?"
Wang Heng said: "There is nothing. That's why my grandson felt extremely suspicious. Later, I asked someone to inquire carefully, but I couldn't find out any information. It can be seen that it is not that they have no information, but that they are extremely guarded, and outsiders cannot find out anything. No way of knowing.”
Wang Jian's expression also became serious.
Wang Heng continued: "Later, I personally tested Liu Feng. It turned out that although he was respectful to me on the surface, there was a trace of contempt, a trace of hatred, and a trace of fear in his eyes."
Wang Jian looked at Wang Heng doubtfully.
Wang Heng whispered: "When I saw that look, I always felt that he seemed to have seen through my identity. He knew that I was cooperating with Xiang Liang."
Wang Jian was shocked: "Do you have any basis for what you said?"
Wang Heng whispered: "Originally, there was none. But today I found out something. Liu Feng started wandering around there 20 days ago. Since then, Liu Wei has never sent him any more Other errands.”
"Twenty days ago, Liu Feng brought his team back from outside. Rumor has it that they captured a few rebels. But no one has seen the appearance of these rebels."
Wang Jian said: "You mean, he is guarding the rebels?"
Wang Heng nodded: "Yes."
Wang Jian said again: "Does this traitor know our details?"
Wang Heng said again: "Yes."
Wang Jian paced back and forth in the camp: "The only ones who know that we are cooperating with Xiang Liang are Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu. Xiang Liang is now in Chu, but Xiang Yu is missing. Even Xiang Liang doesn't know where he is. . Could it be that... Xiang Yu was arrested by Liu Feng?"
