Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 266: Julu

Chapter 266: Julu (Additional chapter for the leader 5/5!)
In the big swamp near Julu.

He Bo was lying in one of the few bushes, enjoying the rare warm sunshine in winter.

He was enjoying the sun.

His green eyes narrowed and he felt a little sleepy.

As a result, just as the ghost was about to meet Duke Zhou and look back at the glory of Zhou Dynasty hand in hand, the "foundation stones" under him began to shake.

Gan and Shi, who were brought by the ghosts to serve him and were asked by the evil ghosts to transform into green-shelled turtles, were arguing again.

"Gander, have you gained weight?"

"Nonsense, a dead ghost has no weight at all!"

"Then why do you feel a little breathless when you lie on my back?!"

"That's your hallucination. I guess you must have gone crazy after soaking in the water in the mainland swamp just now!"

"Fart about your mother!"

Shi Shen angrily stretched his neck, thrust it upwards, and bit the claw of the Gander turtle.

Gan De groaned in pain, then reached down with his other intact turtle paw and slapped Shi Shen twice.

So Shi Shen became even angrier.

He stretched his hands and neck hard and struggled with Gander.

Among the waterweed,

The "Turtle Mountain" made up of four turtles of different sizes was also shaking.

He Bo, who was lying on Gan De's back and at the top, leaned forward helplessly and said, "Stop hitting me!"

"I'm going to fall down soon, so you all should go back to the underworld and shut yourself up. You are not allowed to wander around in the world of the living anymore!"

Only then did the two Ganshi turtles retract their claws in disappointment.

Gan De lay on Shi Shen's back.

Shi Shen was lying on Ximen Bao's back.

As the cornerstone, Dr. Ximen, who had shouldered everything, felt that the burden on his back had finally calmed down, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He asked the ghosts and gods, "Why do we have to become like this and stay here?"

He Bo showed a bloodthirsty smile, and a strange light flashed in his green eyes, "Because I want to see a river of blood!"

"...The Qin army has been here now, fighting against King Xie of Zhao for almost a month. Isn't the blood shed enough?"

He Bo said, "It's not enough!"

"The Chu army is still on the other side of the river and hasn't come over yet!"

After defeating Xiang Liang,
Meng Tian then led his army back to defend the Three Jins.

At that time, the rulers of the Three Jins
King Ju of Wei has committed suicide.

The King of Han has not yet been restored.
Only King Xie of Zhao was still alive.

So Meng Tian attacked Zhao again, trying to force Zhao Xie to give up his title of king and weaken the resistance of these people.

But Julu City was vast and strong, and not easy to capture.

As a result, the two sides launched a difficult and bloody battle here.

When the news reached the south,
The King of Chu was also very worried about the situation in Zhao.

After Xiang Liang's death,

Xiong Xin then became the new anti-Qin leader.
In order to sit in this seat with a clear conscience,
He must rescue King Xie of Zhao!
then,

The King of Chu divided his troops into two groups.

With Lingyin Song Yi as the commander-in-chief, they headed north to rescue Zhao.

With Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, as the commander-in-chief, they continued to attack the Qin army westwards.

Song Yi readily agreed.
Liu Bang was a little hesitant.

Because the morale of the rebel army had been severely hit by Meng Tian's attack, many generals felt that it was most important to preserve the current results, and they did not dare to advance westward recklessly, which would result in casualties and loss of lives.

However, if the King of Chu wanted to accumulate prestige and consolidate power, it was impossible for him to give up the Western Expedition against Qin.

This is the source of his legitimacy.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must insist on this point in public!
So those cowardly generals looked around and recommended Liu Bang.

They believe:
Liu Bang has always been generous and a virtuous elder, and is more suitable for "going west to support justice" than himself.

"This is going to harm you, Lord!"

"I knew there would be no such good thing in the world!"

He said,

There are so many former Chu nobles surrounding the King of Chu now, how could they let him be the chief commander!

It turned out that he was sent to die!

But Zhang Liang, who was acquainted with him, advised him, "This should be a good thing for Pei Gong!"

Liu Bang turned around and sighed, "Mr. Zifang, please don't lie to me!"

Zhang Liang stroked his beard and smiled, "Many of the people that the King of Chu has appointed were prominent figures in the Chu State back then. Do you think you can compare with them, Lord Pei?"

Liu Bang lowered his head and shook his head.

Zhang Liang then said, "These people are now obsessed with wealth and are unwilling to take risks. How can they achieve any meritorious service?"

"Now that Pei Gong is leading his army to the west, the army must obey your orders, and the cities they capture will belong to you... Isn't this much better than staying by the side of the King of Chu and expecting his favor and trust?"

Although it has no name, it has its essence.
How can this be considered a bad thing in such troubled times?

"In my opinion, Pei Gong should wait for two days and act hesitant. The King of Chu must have made a promise to encourage you to take on this mission."

Liu Bang said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sir!" Soon after,

The King of Chu saw that even an "elder" like Liu Bang was grimacing at the prospect of the Western Expedition, so he made a solemn promise to his ministers:
"Whoever enters the pass first can be king!"

Only then did Liu Bang break camp and lead his troops westward.

the other side,
After Song Yi led his army north, he stayed on the other side of the river and did not move forward decisively to rescue Zhao.

He said, "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains."

"No need to rush!"

After the princes were restored one after another, the old tradition of "internal fighting" also revived.

The nobles of the six kingdoms laughed at Chen Sheng and other common people for being "poor people who suddenly became rich" and short-sighted, but they forgot what they themselves looked like.

In the past, "meat eaters were vulgar"
The same is true today!

And now,
Song Yi had been sitting in his tent, watching the fire from afar for twenty days.

He Bo also started waiting.

Because he knows,
Song Yi had a young general under his command, named Xiang Yu.

And this young man was very angry about Song Yi's behavior!

"Do you think Meng Tian will retreat first, or will the Chu army cross the river first?"

The ghost stuck his head out and suddenly asked the three old turtles below.

Shi Shen still retreated into his shell, speaking in a muffled voice.

"It should be the Chu army. They can't just sit on the other side of the river for a month without taking any action, right?"

Do it this way.

Didn’t Song Yi travel armed?
Even if it's just to steal food and supplies, you don't have to do it this way!
Although Gan De had just had a fight with him, he still agreed with Shi Shen's words.

They have read too many history books.

Song Yi couldn't really set a record or do something that no one had ever done before, right?
"What about you, Simon Bao!"

"Say something!"

The ghost stretched his neck a little further, and tried his best to look beyond Gan De's tortoise shell, and saw the tip of Ximen Bao's tail.

Oh.
It turned out that the direction in which he was lying was opposite to Ximen Bao who was at the bottom.

He Bo quickly turned around, using his paws to make everyone face the same direction, and continued to ask questions to each other.

But he only heard Ximen Bao sigh deeply again, and then the Wangbashan under him began to move.

Doctor Ximen, the biggest turtle, stretched out his limbs and began to crawl in the water.

He climbed very fast, the four-wheel drive power moving forward unstoppably.

The two Ganshi turtles were so frightened that they started squeaking loudly above them, as if they were about to lay eggs.

"Where are you headed?"

He Bo sat at the top, suppressing Wan Gu, but he did not lose his composure. He just questioned Ximen Bao's sudden self-esteem.

Ximen Bao said, "I want to go to Zhangshui!"

"It's boring to stay here."

“It’s so nice to bask in the sun and watch the fun!”

If Xiang Yu had crossed the river,

He will be able to see Meng Tian fighting with the King of Western Chu!

A battle like that will surely lead to the destruction of the Great Dao!
Ximen Bao said, "But we are not human beings. Can't we come and see whenever we want?"

Why is there a need to stop and wait?

Although so many years have passed,
Because of the evil taste of ghosts and gods,

Many dead ghosts have been tormented by him,

But no one has ever turned into a turtle and stayed in the water for so long in the middle of winter.

"Yes!"

"Did you do it on purpose!"

Shi Shen reacted and asked Gan De to defeat the superior and give the ghost a claw -

He can't exercise long-arm jurisdiction on his own.

Gander ignored him.

He Bo was still quibbling, "How is that possible!"

"I'm not that bad!"

Ximen Wangba remained silent and deliberately crawled towards a bumpy place.
