Through Time Chapter 467

Pei County.

It is getting late in the day.

An army under the banner of Chu was preparing to set up camp.

Within the middle army, a majestic general looked at the map before him with a frown on his face.

Just then, a large man walked in and said that

“Great Uncle, a man called Liu Bang has come to visit outside the camp, claiming to be the Duke of Pei, who has risen against the Qin and says he is an old acquaintance of yours.”

“And he has brought a lot of provisions.”

The majestic general narrowed his eyes and said that

“Liu Bang? Well, indeed, I have met him, and he was not a bad friend to Yu’er before.”

“I didn’t expect that he had actually succeeded in raising a rebellion here, he does have some skills.”

“Let him in.”

“Yes.”

With that the big man was about to lead the way and leave, when the majestic general gave an explanation and said that

“By the way Zhuang’er, in the military camp from now on, don’t call him Great Uncle Father, call him Great General.”

The big man was none other than Xiang Zhuang, and the majestic general was naturally Xiang Liang.

When Xiang Zhuang had gone, Xiang Liang continued to look at the map.

Since the uprising, they had pacified the surrounding area as quickly as possible, with Wu Zhong as the centre.

The preparations in the early stages were well done, and it did not take too much time.

Apart from the deadly Qin army that came from within the Guan, the vast majority of the Great Qin county soldiers, who were originally Chu, became his army!

Together with the peasants recruited, the number had long passed 100,000 and was still growing rapidly.

This time the Qin army had already made a move to attack Xingyang and Dingtao to the south, the territories of King Gui of Wei and King Tianrong of Qi respectively.

It was also the gateway into the land of Chu.

Whether for the sake of the previous alliance or to preserve the gateways to Chu, they had to send troops to support them.

So Xiang Yu led a lone army to Xingyang, followed by Fan Zeng, and there was nothing to worry about.

He took his men to support Ding Tao.

I heard that the one attacking Ding Tao was a general named Zhang Han, leading an army that was also mostly county soldiers, plus some prisoners.

Hmph, it seems that the strategy of the Zongheng clan has worked.

The Qin army had an empty 300,000-strong border army on one side, but it could not be used.

They’ve just taken advantage of the opportunity to secure their territory and wait for the chance to attack Xianyang in one fell swoop!

Of course, there was one more person he wanted to get rid of this time when he went to the land of Qi.

Tyrannical Qin was now long in the storm, and even if they couldn’t destroy each other in one fell swoop, the restoration of Chu had become a fact.

Even if it reverted to the time when Qi stood side by side, Chu would certainly be the hegemon.

However, there was still a small obstacle in front of their Xiang.

That was Zhao Lang.

Word had come from Goguryeo that the other side had found the descendants of King Yan and had received proof of the Yan’s legacy.

Now, Zhao Long already has descendants of the four kingdoms, and is himself the king of Zhao.

In terms of name recognition, it was still more advantageous.

Luckily, Yunmengze had given him a chance by raising the banner of a king and a marquis who would rather have a son.

However, the best way is to settle Zhao Lang once and for all.

Of course he could not do it himself, or else the king of the six kingdoms would definitely be blamed if he was seen by him.

But if Zhao Lang died at the hands of the Qin army, then he could not be blamed.

This battle with the Qin army at Dingtao was the perfect opportunity!

Just as Xiang Liang was calculating in his mind how to pull Zhao Lang into the game, the sound of Xiang Zhuang’s announcement rang outside the door.

“Great General, Liu Bang from Pei County requests an audience!”

Xiang Liang returned to his senses and quickly said that

“Enter.”

Soon, a middle-aged man of extraordinary appearance, with two attendants, walked in and

“Liu Bang has seen the great general.”

A smile emerged on Xiang Liang’s face at this time and said that

“So it is Brother Liu.”

Both of them are well-versed in the ways of the world, and after a while of exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere was cordial.

Liu Bang quickly made clear his intention of coming to

“Liu Bang deeply admires your visit to the north.”

“A large army is bound to need the support of provisions and manpower, Liu Bang has come to deliver provisions to you, but unfortunately Liu Bang only has an empty county in his hands now.”

“Can’t give more.”

After saying this, Liu Bang even let out a slight sigh.

It seemed to be a pity because he could not give more for Xiang.

Xiang Liang’s eyes faintly moved, he naturally understood what the other party meant.

It was that he wanted to use his army and help the other side to take the surrounding territories.

It is a good deal.

Only Xiang Liang looked at the extraordinary-looking Liu Bang and already had a plan in mind, saying that

“Your Excellency is so handsome and martial, is this mere county of land enough to satisfy you?”

Liu Bang’s heart was shaken by these words, of course he would not be satisfied with this one county, otherwise he would not have come here.

Liu Bang asked, with some caution.

“Great General, what does this mean?”

Xiang Liang laughed and

“Why doesn’t your Excellency come under my General’s command?”

“As long as you come, this general will instantly give you 5,000 men!”

“Five thousand men?”

Liu Bang’s eyes snapped open at that!

When he was a pavilion commander, a pavilion of land didn’t even have that many people!

This was an opportunity!

Liu Bang exhaled slightly and without much hesitation, said that

“Early on, I am willing to listen to the Great General’s command!”

At once, Xiang Liang laughed out loud and

“Good! If Pei County is your homeland, then this county will be your fiefdom! ”

“This general will immediately dispatch his men to inform the surrounding people!”

Liu Bang was overjoyed to hear that

“Many thanks, Great General!”

With Xiang Liang backing him up, this Pei County is all but taken!

If one can go to the next level in the future, then this county is not out of the question!

“Good, since you and I are already colleagues, then please also ask General Liu to get ready as soon as possible, we will set off early tomorrow morning!”

“The five thousand men, Xiang Zhuang will give you an account.”

Liu Bang quickly replied that

“Yes, sir!”

With that, he left the military tent.

Only when he reached the door, Xiao He and the others surrounded him. Liu Bang had just brought in only Lu and Fan Kuai.

“Lord Pei, how is it? Has General Xiang promised to support us?”

Xiao He asked repeatedly, it was his idea to pay a visit to Xiang Liang under the pretext of sending food and grass.

Liu Bang took a breath at this time and said in a deep voice that

“Xiao He, this general is now under General Xiang’s command, leading 5,000 men as a great general.”

“Pei County, which is the fief of this general!”

Soon, Liu Bang made things clear.

After Xiao He listened, a hint of joy appeared on his face; he had indeed not misjudged the man.

The ambition in Liu Bang’s heart was definitely not something that could be satisfied by a single county!

“This general will leave tomorrow and leave Pei County to Lu to manage, I wonder if you all are willing to go to Qi with me?”

Xiao He pulled Cao Sen with him and agreed at once.

Han Xin did not hesitate too much either; Liaodong, where Gongzi Lang was, was also to be carried on his back, and he was just in time to leave when he arrived there.

Seeing that all agreed, Liu Bang at once ordered that

“In that case, prepare the men, we will set out early tomorrow morning!”

“Yes!”

Looking at the crowd in compliance.

Liu Bang’s heart also grew hotter and hotter, and perhaps, his mind could be bigger…

Looking to the north, Liu Bang seemed to have an inexplicable sense that his future lay there!

At this time, the land of Qi.

Inside the residence of Tian Du, King of Qi.

Tian Du was speaking to Zhao Lang with an anxious face, saying

“King Zhao, the scouts have reported that the Qin army is gathering a large army and will soon attack Qi!”

“Xiang Liang’s army is still on its way, what should we do?”

“Xiang Liang is coming?”

Zhao Lang’s heart stirred when he heard the news, and in the next instant, he pondered away

“How are we going to get Xiang Liang killed?”
