Through Time Chapter 509

Summoned by Xiang.

Upon hearing this news, the whole of Ding Tao instantly sprang into action.

Countless nobles from the six kingdoms rushed towards the direction of the Xiang Clan.

Now that the snow had melted away, Xiang had summoned them, which meant that war was about to start!

Didn’t they bring their own soldiers and provisions and gather this time, just for now?!

To fight their way into Guanzhong!

Make themselves kings!

The day is finally coming!

Soon, the Xiang’s camp was filled to overflowing with people.

Xiang Yu sat at the very top, followed by Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang at the side.

Then there was Tian Rong, King of Qi, and Tian Du, King of Qi, and Pao, King of Wei.

These men, though kings of the six kingdoms, were also still dependent on Xiang.

It also increased Xiang’s prestige even more!

The others were the generals of the Chu army, and there were a few more new faces, those newly promoted generals of the Xiang clan.

At the bottom were the nobles of the six kingdoms who had rushed over because of Xiang’s call to ‘enter Guanzhong and become king’!

As for Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, who should have been here, he had been in Wu Zhong.

How could the king of Chu be here at such a time when Xiang’s prestige was being established?

At this time, Xiang Yu, who was at the very top, looked at the gazes of the people below looking at him, which were mostly filled with awe, and fervour.

At the thought, as soon as he gave the order, these people would lead hundreds of thousands of troops and attack the target he wanted.

His heart could not help but feel a little stirred.

This was the kind of aura a world dominator should have!

From now on, he wants everyone in the world to be subservient to his hegemony!

At this moment, Xiang Yu took a slight breath and said in a deep voice.

“Gentlemen, now that the weather is warming up, it is a good time to reorganise the army and prepare for war!”

“And you should have already gotten the news that the King of Zhao has already obeyed the order and is approaching Wuguan!”

“And now, there is the King of Qi and the King of Wei here to march with us!”

“Now is the time to build a successful career!”

The King of the Six Kingdoms is mentioned here to show that now even the King of the Six Kingdoms has to obey the call, so there is even less need for others to hesitate.

Although Xiang Yu is not very old, that bravery, with his 8,000 hors*men, defeated the Qin army and captured Ding Tao.

Everyone was aware of it.

And in him, he exuded domineering aura all the time!

Everyone is convinced!

Soon, with Xiang Yu’s words, everyone fell into a fit of mania.

Fan Zeng on the side even looked on with slight admiration.

Xiang Yu was indeed a born bully!

With his help, the Xiang Clan will surely gain the world!

Only that several people did not notice that in a corner, Liu Bang looked at the King of Qi, Tian Du, with Han Xin and Xiao He by his side, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

He had thought that Xiao He and Han Xin had died in the chaos of the army.

So after making a slight show of looking around, he didn’t care too much.

But he did not expect to meet the two men here.

The two were now in an even more forward position than they were!

He wasn’t in too good a position now.

I didn’t think so at the time, but when the two were gone, I realised that both were great talents!

Now, for example, he has more than 10,000 men under him, but compared to his previous state, these 10,000 men may not be able to beat the 5,000 men he had before.

Not to mention, now there were so many more nobles.

He would be taken even less seriously.

To be honest, if he hadn’t been so sociable and on good terms with Xiang Bo, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even have been able to arrange the provisions.

He was good at managing people, but not at managing things.

After some slight contemplation, Liu Bang made up his mind in his mind that when everyone dispersed, he would go up and talk to the two men, the two men he had to have back!

Soon, Xiang Yu’s pre-battle preparations were finished.

This time, the main purpose was to get everyone ready, and the specific arrangements for the battle would naturally have to come slowly.

The snow had only just melted away now, so it was not yet time to actually send out the troops.

The nobles were all extremely excited to leave and only a few royals were left behind.

Everyone seemed to feel that as soon as the war started, the day of claiming the throne was at hand.

At this point, Xiao He and Han Xin also arrived outside, with some regret on their faces; they were not yet qualified to be involved in the core of Xiang’s strategy.

Otherwise, it would have been possible to return the favour to the King of Zhao.

Just as the two were discussing how to deal with what would happen afterwards, suddenly, an excited voice came from the side.

“Brother Xiao! Brother Han! I’ve searched so hard for you guys!”

As soon as Xiao He and Han Xin turned their heads, they saw Liu Bang walking towards them with two men in tow, extremely excited.

When he walked up to the two men, he took their hands directly and went on to say that

“After that day, I originally thought that I would never see each other again, but I never thought that I would actually see you two brothers here today!”

“You two are well, this is really a mercy from heaven, I can finally sleep well.”

By the end of his speech, Liu Bang was already in tears!

Xiao He was outright all but frozen by what he said.

His heart couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Bang had been good to him.

Basically, he obeyed him in everything and never left anything behind in terms of food and drink.

But he followed Han Xin straight to the king of Zhao, which was somewhat of a loss.

But Han Xin was extremely determined to take his hand away, unlike Xiao He.

From the very beginning, he was determined to be with Zhao Lang, and being with Liu Bang was just a desperate move at the time.

Xiao He was already talking to Liu Bang by this time, and was obviously somewhat overwhelmed by the other’s attack.

“Brother Xiao, Brother Han, why don’t you follow me back to the camp, we will definitely not return without getting drunk today!”

“I will go and talk to Brother Xiang at the King of Qi’s place.”

Liu Bang directly moved out Xiang Bo at this time.

Although Tian Du, the King of Qi, was now in a much weaker position, he himself did not yet have the capital to confront the King of Qi.

Only Xiang could overpower his opponent.

Xiao He pushed back at this time with a little shame.

But how could Liu Bang let anyone go.

At this time, Han Xin, who was at the side, could not stand it any longer and said directly.

“Your Excellency, nowadays, I and brother Xiao are not only the people of the King of Qi, but also the people of the King of Zhao, even if Xiang and the family of the King of Qi say so.”

Liu Bang heard this and said.

“How is it that you are still related to the King of Zhao?”

Han Xin did not pretend at this time, trying to break Liu Bang’s mind, and said directly that

“Actually, that King of Zhao, whom Your Excellency has also met, is Gongzi Lang.”

“Gongzi Lang?!”

Hearing this name, Liu Bang was instantly shaken!

Although he and Zhao Lang had not met many times, the other party’s attitude towards him was extremely peculiar.

He left early then.

And of course he knew the name of King Zhao, who had fought extremely fiercely with Xiang before!

I never thought the two would be one and the same!

Whether it was the recruitment of talents or these actions of Zhao Lang, Liu Bang actually approved extremely.

Sometimes he even felt that he was living in the other’s shadow.

It was only later that he heard that Zhao Lang had suffered several severe losses here in Xiang, and was now driven to the land of Han and the King of Han Cheng, to the same place.

Now with a few thousand men, he is preparing to attack Wuguan.

Even if Liu Bang did not know anything about military, he knew that with a few thousand men he wanted to defeat Wuguan and attack Xianyang.

This was a fool’s dream!

But for Xiang to go and talk to the King of Zhao, this would be a joke.

Knowing that Han Xin was definitely not going to follow him, Liu Bang thought of how he could take Xiao He away.

Just then, Tian Du, the king of Qi in the tent, came out with a not-so-good face, saw Xiao He and Han Xin both and said directly that

“Xiao He, Han Xin, return to camp!”

After saying this, he turned around and left, not even looking at Liu Bang the whole time.

Liu Bang was just a small general, not worthy of his attention yet.

Han Xin left straight away, and Xiao He hesitated for a moment before following suit.

Only Liu Bang was left in the still somewhat sluggish cold wind.

“Big brother! The King of Qi, and these two, have gone too far!”

Fan Kuai, who was following behind Liu Bang, said with a direct glare.

Liu Bang, however, frowned and scolded

“No nonsense, Brother Xiao and Brother Han are only working for someone now and have to follow orders.”

“There may be a time to meet again later.”

He saw out that Tian Du, the King of Qi, did not speak to the two men with respect at all.

It was also an insult to such talented men.

And the King of Zhao was already showing his weariness; it was not that he did not have the chance to bring the two men under his command again, as long as he retained this intended hint of affection.

There is no rush in everything.

Hearing these words, Zhang Liang on the other side, however, nodded appreciatively and said

“Good, Pei Gong has a good point!!!”

“It is to have such a broad-mindedness and not to care about the momentary gains and losses that one can go far!”

He followed Xiang out of the land of Han, and when he arrived, he met Liu Bang.

Both of them wanted to meet and hated each other.

Xiang did not care about his movements, so he followed the other man all the way.

Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang at this time and said with great emotion that

“Brother Zhang Liang is indeed a great talent, with broad insight and even more tolerance for others.”

After a round of praise, Liu Bang then led a few people away.

At that moment, within the tent of the Xiang Clan, Fan Zeng was discussing with Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang.

“Sir, there are hundreds of nobles here today! If everyone were to be crowned king, how could there be so much space?”

Xiang Zhuang said with a frown.

Fan Zeng, however, laughed at this time and said

“The more people there are, the better, and when the time comes, will we not be the ones to judge the merits of this kingdom?”

“The number of kings to be crowned and the place where they are to be crowned will of course be decided by us, for example, if the roots are in the north, we will crown him a king of the south.”

“This will naturally give rise to disputes.”

“What we want is for them to dispute with each other, and in this way, Xiang’s hegemony will naturally be unshakable.”

After hearing Fan Zeng’s words, even if Xiang Yu had always been proud, this time he could not help but say.

“Yafu is a great talent!”

Just this one ploy, i.e. using the power of the nobles of the six states.

It also distracted the threat of these people afterwards.

I must say, it was indeed extremely talented!

He also now understood the painstaking intentions of his great uncle Xiang Liang.

Just then, Bo Xiang walked in.

Xiang Zhuang could not help but ask that

“Young Uncle, didn’t you go to arrange for the delivery of provisions to the King of Zhao? How come you are back?”

Xiang Bo said in an uncharacteristic manner.

“Just ten carts of grain and hay, what is there to arrange?”

Hearing this, several people could not help but laugh again.

No one asked about it anymore.

Because after Xiang Bo had taken over the rations, he had indeed done a good job and the accounts were extremely clear, saving the army a lot of rations.

It was just that Xiang Yu still had some guilt in his heart.

How spirited and strong Zhao Lang was originally, and extremely powerful.

Yet, under Xiang’s scheming, he became so decayed step by step.

With a few thousand men, he was about to fight the Qin army to the death at Wuguan, almost… No, there was certainly no chance of victory.

As far as he was concerned, Zhao Lang was only doing this to preserve the royal family of Zhao, its last glory.

In any case, there was always a battle with the Qin army, and even if he lost, he could still justify it.

After all, victory and defeat were commonplace in the military.

Of course, he would not accept defeat!

Nor could he fail!

Today, he has assembled an army of over 300,000 under his command!

And although the Qin army had also been reinforced, it was now only 60,000 to 70,000.

How could he possibly lose when he had almost five times the strength of the Qin army?

All he had to worry about was how to deal with the Great Qin’s border army after he had routed them!

Once the border army is defeated again, the world will be Xiang’s!

“Duke Long, when the day comes, I will make it up to you.”

Xiang Yu said silently in his heart.

A few days later, the important town of Great Qin, Wuguan.

At this moment, Wuguan is filled with majestic and strong Qin troops, each with a solemn face.

For, now, under the Wu Pass, there was a rare enemy army!

But everyone was not so worried, for there were only a few thousand enemy troops there.

A few thousand enemy troops, and you want to break through the Martial Pass?

That’s a fool’s dream!

Without ten times the number of enemies, and with lives to fill, we will never be able to take the Martial Pass!

If the defenders hadn’t been worried about the enemy’s tricks and forbidden them to attack, they would have wanted to go down and wipe out the enemy!

What’s more, there is now a steady stream of reinforcements daring to come, and I heard that even the defenders of the Hangu Pass have come some.

They are all the most elite soldiers of the Qin Empire!

Wuguan, solid as gold!

At this moment, below the Martial Pass, in Zhao Lang’s camp.

Zhao Long is dealing with the military. Although he has obtained Chen Ping and Xiao He, his own territory is all scattered.

He had to keep several people apart, otherwise it would be much easier for him.

“Chen Sheng, after I leave here, every day remember to make a move to attack Wuguan, so that no one will notice our changes.”

“Of course, don’t actually go and attack, lest you damage your own men.”

Zhao Lang instructed at this time.

Chen Sheng had now brought his men to support him, but of course, they were all well covered, otherwise they would have come long ago.

When when all of Xiang’s supplies arrived there would be no need to cover up.

Chen Sheng naturally responded.

Soon after, Zhao Lang arranged his setup down.

The main thing was to attract the attention of the Qin army and provide them with cover.

He had already sent his men to give the troops a front.

The raid on the Hakua Pass would not be a hard and reckless one either.

After the two of them had finished discussing, Zhao Lang was just about to go out for some air, when he saw Hai sneak in.

“What is it?”

Zhao Lang asked without good humour.

Hu Hai said with a glint in his eyes that

“Brother Long, I want to go with you on this raid!”

Zhao Lang listened for a moment, then said with a few moments of surprise that

“This raid on the Qin army is extremely dangerous, do you really want to go?”

Hearing these words, the corners of Hu Hai’s mouth grinned directly to the roots of his ears, and with a pat on his chest, he said with great confidence.

“Brother Long! I am not afraid of the Qin army!!!”

Who is he?

The Emperor of the Great Qin!

How could he be afraid of the Qin army!

This is the perfect time for him to play the bleep!

How could he possibly let it go!!!
