Xiang Liang's army started marching after sunrise. They divided into four groups and crossed the Surabaya River vigorously. As if they didn't take Zhang Han, who had just defeated Linji a while ago, in his eyes, they rushed towards the west crazily.
Half a month later, Xiang Liang defeated Kang's father, a month later, Xiang Yu defeated Changyi, Xiang An defeated Chengwu, and Liu Ji subdued Peng Yue, a group of bandits wandering in Juyeze.
Xi Chu's battle front was steadily advancing westward, while within Qi State, earth-shattering changes took place.
King Tian Dan of Qi was stabbed to death by Zhang Han in the battle of Linji. There was no pause within the Qi State. They immediately supported a new King of Qi to come to power, named Tian Jia. The speed was so fast that other countries were stunned.
Brother, you can run so fast in the cafeteria to start dinner, but you, the first king of the previous king, haven't even arrived yet, so you are in a hurry to establish a new king?
Tian Dan's brother Tian Rong was still mourning for his brother on the road. Over there, the State of Qin found Tian Ji from nowhere and made him king. After Tian Rong knew the news, he was very angry. His fists were bleeding.
The battle in Linji ended in a disastrous defeat, and his brother died there. Facing the Qi State that had ruthlessly and unjustly abandoned their brothers, Tian Rong became filial and angry.
As a result, the Qi State, which had just lost its master, had yet to completely calm down and ushered in another civil war.
However, because of this aid to Wei, the dead Tian Dan took away almost all of Qi's main army, and a large part of it was lost in Linji, but even if there was not much left, it was Qi's last military force. Strength.
And these military forces are in Tian Rong's hands.
Therefore, this so-called "civil war" ended very quickly, just as quickly as Qi State established a new king.
Although the civil war was won, Tianjia was lucky enough to survive because he escaped early.
He finally understood that there was no way he could stay in Qi State. He was now a thorn in Tian Rong's side, and he wished he could get rid of him immediately.
Therefore, the only option is to escape.
But where to escape?
The only country closest to Qi is Chu.
So Tianjia found Xiang Liang, who was reorganizing his army in Changyi and preparing to cross the Wenshui River, and wanted to seek Xiang Liang's asylum.
...
"I roughly understand the situation, and we will provide you with appropriate protection." Xiang Liang said with a smile on his face to Tian Ji, who was sitting in the next seat.
He still has some thoughts.
Now is the stage of uniting against Qin, and the six countries will naturally unite together.
But when will Qin really die?
The alliance will collapse in an instant, and when the time comes, the six countries will become enemies again.
And the biggest enemy Chu State will face at that time is undoubtedly Qi State.
Although Tian Jie was chased out by Tian Rong like a dog, it does not mean that he has no influence at all in Qi. On the contrary, if Tian Jie's influence in Qi was not enough for him, he would not have Will be kicked out by Tian Rong.
And when the time comes to deal with Qi, this Tianjia will be a very useful chess piece.
"Come here, take Master Tianjia down to rest." Xiang Liang stroked his beard and ordered two soldiers to arrange a room for Tianjia.
"General, is this really good?" Xiang Yu frowned and asked, "After all, this Tianjia is a scoundrel who usurped the throne. If we take him in, how will the Qi State react?"
"It doesn't matter, then Tian Rong doesn't know that we have taken Tianjia in, so we can just deal with it when the time comes." Xiang Liang waved his hand, "Xiang Yu, as long as you and Xiang An are here, there will be no worries in the world, we just need to push forward steadily. "
There was confidence in his voice.
Since the uprising, except for Song Yi who was sent to aid Wei and was killed by Zhang Han along with Wei, Xiang Liang's entire army has almost never been defeated.
Especially the two armies of Xiang Yu and Xiang An, seeing one city after another with unparalleled power and majesty, would inevitably lose to Zhang Han.
Xiang Liang thought and believed this.
In the final analysis, it is a war born out of hatred and ambition. Perhaps the end of the war is for the peace of the world, but in its essence, it is absolutely violent, absolutely bloody, and absolutely deceitful.
Xiang Yu frowned, although he felt something was not right, but based on the long-term prohibition, he didn't say anything and still followed Xiang Liang's suggestion.
For a moment, the world seemed to be quiet.
After Zhang Han's victory at Linji, he did not immediately choose to advance. Instead, he stationed himself in place and spread out to the surroundings to regain the Wei land that was previously ruled by Zhou Shi and Wei Wang Jiu. At the same time, he actively fought with Wang Li. Contact and prepare to fight against Zhao and Qi.
The power of the Chu State was too great, and the war lasted for a long time. Even Zhang Han's troops and supplies were consumed a lot. Before the support from Xianyang arrived, Zhang Han would not be able to make any big moves in the short term, at least. It is impossible to make a big move against the Chu State. The Chu State did not suffer any real heavy losses in the Battle of Linji. Now that the army and horses are strong, Zhang Han must consider it.
"Next step, we will cross the Wenshui River from Juyeze and ask Xiang An to leave as soon as possible. Leave the surrounding counties alone, as they will not be successful." Xiang Liang said to Huang Xiaozhong, "Now Dingtao has been occupied. Zhang Han has been defeated, we must try to counterattack. Although they won a great victory in the Linji battle, they will suffer heavy losses. Now is our best opportunity."
"Yes!" Huang Xiaozhong clasped his fists and stepped back, going to Chengwu to deliver a message to Xiang An.
Xiang Yu stood behind Xiang Liang and sighed involuntarily.
He had a strange feeling, an increasingly strange feeling.
He seemed to be able to see something, but he couldn't be sure what he saw.
That feeling...
Xiang Yu sighed and put the thought out of his mind.
...
Zhang Han was waiting for Xianyang's support in Linji, and sent troops from time to time to continue advancing eastward to regain Wei. Xiang Liang led his army across the Wenshui River and gathered a large number of troops to attack Chengyang.
At this time, Xiang Liang issued an order that neither Xiang Yu nor Xiang An could understand.
"Ask Tian Rong for help and say that we hope to have another joint action against Zhang Han." He ordered to his strategist Pang Ze.
Pang Ze looked at Xiang Liang blankly.
Boss, if you want me to die, you can actually be more direct.
"It's not really asking for help, but I want to see the attitude of that boy Tian Rong." Xiang Liang shook his head.
Xiang An frowned: "Uncle, I think we should kill Na Tianjia and then seriously ask King Qi for help."
"No need. No matter how strong Zhang Han is, he is still in a period of decline. Now is the best opportunity to kill Zhang Han. I just want to see Tian Rong's attitude."
