The Prince's Choice

When the sky was almost dark, the Chu army finally retreated temporarily and fell into a confrontation with the Han army.

In the rear formation of the Han army, Bai Mo surrounded dozens of personal soldiers and arrived in front of Zhou Guanfu's stretcher. Seeing Bai Mo, Zhou Guanfu struggled to get up to greet him, but was stopped by Bai Mo.

Zhou Guanfu was hit by the Chu army's poisonous crossbow, and the poisonous crossbow was extremely toxic. Fortunately, Bai Mo had also dabbled in medical schools and was quite skilled in medical skills. After his emergency rescue and taking drugs in person, Zhou Guanfu finally saved his life, but he would not stand up in a short time, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

He patted Zhou Guanfu on the shoulder and Bai Mo said, "Shengzhi, you go back to Nanzheng to recuperate first."

Zhou Guanfu nodded and said with some concern: "Left Prime Minister, the Chu army opposite is all elite veterans with many battles, and well-equipped. If we continue to confront each other like this, our army will inevitably be defeated in the end?"

Bai Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Shengzhi, I already have a countermeasure."

Zhou Guanfu then breathed a sigh of relief. He was protected by a hundred personal soldiers and returned to Nanzheng overnight to recover from his injuries.

Seeing Zhou Guanfu's stretcher leave, Bai Mo ordered his accompanying soldiers to say, "Tell the order to lead two thousand Hanzhong County soldiers to retreat to Jiange overnight and set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of Jiange." After saying this, Bai Mo said, "By the way, there is also that path. Please don't forget to send troops to guard it and strictly prevent the Chu army from attacking."

"Yes!" The personal soldiers responded with a loud bang and took the order immediately.

Bai Mo thought about it, but felt a little worried, so he ordered another personal soldier to say, "Another military order is passed, all the soldiers of the army are not allowed to disarm. The left and right teams will take turns to rest, beware of the Chu army's sneak attack at night!"

Several miles away, more than two thousand Chu troops were also resting quietly in the night and eating. (《》)

It is tired, but not exhausted. Although he had fought with the Han army all day, he had only a few dozen people facing the Chu army directly with the Han army. It was not until the soldiers in front were exhausted that the soldiers behind had the opportunity to step forward to take over. After a fierce battle for a day, many soldiers had not even fought head-on with the Han army.

Bai Mo thought about plotting against the Chu army, and Pang Yu also thought about plotting against the Han army.

He just received a quick report from the fast horse. Although the king was ambushed in Jiange and the Tianlang Guards were also seriously injured, the king himself and General Hu Yan were safe and sound. This made Pang Yu very afraid and was also very grateful. If the king unfortunately broke into Jiange, I really don’t know what the Great Chu would become?

More than a hundred most fierce school schools have gathered to Pang Yu. Pang Yu ordered the collection of all the white wine and jerky in the army, and gave the hundreds of small schools to drink, and then said, "Everyone, whether the Battle of Taurus Dao can be won, whether Hanzhong can be won, and whether the Great Chu can defeat the Han Kingdom depends on you!"

The Hundred and Ten Primary Schools bowed their hands together and said solemnly: "We are willing to die for the Great Chu!"

"Okay, you are worthy of being the stern man of my Great Chu!" Pang Yu slammed the cliff and pointed to the cliffs on both sides and said, "After the afternoon, you will climb up the cliff and go to catch the rear of the Han army. After the army launched an attack from the front, you will come out from the rear, chopping and spreading rumors while slashing and spreading rumors. It is said that General Huan Chu has led a 100,000 army to cross Fangling, and invading Hanzhong in the late six months, you have arrived to meet with General Huan Chu's military order!"

"Here!" Baishi Primary School responded with a loud noise and went down one after another to prepare for it.

Pang Yu ordered again: "The rest of the soldiers, hurry up and go to bed after a full meal!"

Langzhong County Town, County Government.

Xiang Zhuang had a full meal and took a hot bath again. He had completely recovered his energy and was sitting in the hall talking to Bailixian. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

Bailixian arrived one after another in the evening.

After Bailixian asked Pang Yu to lead his army to the reception, he still felt uneasy and handed over the army to his clan brother Baili Mao for a while, and he led two thousand elite soldiers to catch up day and night.

"King." Bailixian shook the feather fan and said sincerely, "You can't take any more danger in the future."

Xiang Zhuang deeply agreed and sighed: "Ziliang, don't worry, from now on, I will never make such a mistake again!"

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziliang, should you think I should consider enthroning the crown prince?" Xiang Zhuang didn't feel anything at all when Jiange met, but now when he looked back, he was secretly shocked. If Tang Tong had not accompanied him, if there was no small path behind the rock crack to the back of the mountain, if he died in Jiange, what would the State of Chu be like?

He luckily escaped the disaster of Jiange, but things are unpredictable. Who knows if Xiangzhuang will suddenly die on one day? Today, the royal power of Xiangzhuang has been extremely consolidated. As long as Xiangzhuang is alive, Chu has no worries. Once Xiangzhuang dies and the crown prince is not enthroned, Chu will be afraid that it will immediately fall into civil strife!

The reason is obvious. The civil and military ministers in China have great differences in the candidates for the prince.

Xiang Tuo, Xiang Da, Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other old ministers all liked the eldest son Xiang Zheng, Baili Mao, Ziche Shi, Xiqilie and other Qin generals, but believed that Xiang Shu was far more talented than Xiang Zheng and should become the crown prince of the Great Chu State. In addition, Xiang Zhuang vaguely felt that there was a hidden force in the middle of the country, hoping that Xiang Wang, the fifth son born to Ying Zhen, could rise to power.

The battle between the prince is mainly the competition between Xiang Zheng, Xiang Shu and Xiang Wang. However, Bailixian and Bishu, the two most vocal prince tutors, never expressed their attitude. Today, Xiang Zhuang is indeed moved, and he also wants to take the opportunity to explore Bailixian's words and see which one he likes?

Baili Xian said deeply: "The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. If there is a crown prince in the country, it is stable, and the ministers think it should be established."

"Okay." Xiang Zhuang asked again, "Ziliang thought, which of my seven sons is worthy of being the crown prince?"

Bailixian was silent when she heard this, and she was silent for a long time. He agreed with the crown prince. However, he was reluctant to tell him about the candidate for the crown prince. The dispute between the crown prince is both a state affairs and an imperial family matter, and it is very involved. Bailixian did not want to be involved rashly, let alone Madam Baili's elder brother, Xiang Shu and Xiang Yong's uncle, so he had to avoid suspicion.

Xiang Zhuang said sincerely: "Ziliang, now I am not a lord, you are not a minister, we are just friends, we should always be honest in our hearts and hearts between friends, right? As friends, who do you think should be appointed as the crown prince?"

Bailixian sighed and said, "Since the king is so honest, I can only speak nonsense. I think that both the prince and the prince Quan are not like a king. If you take advantage of the situation and be good at teaching, the prince Zhi can be a good general. The prince Quan can be the prime minister, the prince Zheng and the prince Shu have their own strengths. The other princes are still young, so I dare not speak nonsense."

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently. As the prince's tutor, Bai Lixian's opinions were undoubtedly quite pertinent.

Xiang Zhi and Xiang Quan are indeed not like personal lords. Although Xiang Zheng has mediocre qualifications, he is kind and kind. Once the Great Chu can truly unify the world, Xiang Zheng's succession can undoubtedly comfort the trauma brought to China by the War of Unification. Most of the Great Chu Empire will not repeat the mistakes of the Great Qin and will perish after only two lifetimes.

As for Xiang Shu, he is the smartest and most scheming among all the philosophers. People often say that he looks younger at the age of three and older at the age of seven. Although Xiang Shu is only ten years old, it can be seen that he will most likely become a hero in the future. If he cannot unify the entire China during his lifetime, Xiang Shu will undoubtedly be the best candidate for the king of Chu.

In other words, whether the choice politics or Xiang Zhi depends on whether Xiang Zhuang can unify China in his lifetime!

In other words, Dingzhuang still cannot rashly decide the candidate for the prince, and still have to continue to look forward to it.

Sighing, Xiang Zhuang took out a secret bag from his arms and handed it to Baili Xian and said, "Ziliang, this secret bag contains a secret decree from me. If I have appointed the prince in my lifetime, this secret decree will naturally be invalid. If I have not arrived to enthrone the prince, I will suffer misfortune. This secret decree is my last decree!"

Bailixian knelt up quickly, bowed and said, "My king, I am still very qualified, and I will never dare to take this important task..."

"Ziliang, you don't have to refuse." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "In addition to your secret bag, I will also prepare a bag for the general, general, general, general, and others. The secret orders in these bags are the same. If I am unlucky, you only need to disassemble the bag and establish a new king."

"King." Bailixian then took the tip of the bag in fear and fear.

Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and joked again: "But Ziliang, you don't have to worry. I am several years younger than you. Maybe I haven't left when you left. This secret edict is just prepared for any trouble."

Baili Xian smiled and said, "The king will be prosperous in spring and autumn, so he will naturally live longer than his ministers."

"Okay, the matter of the crown prince is over, let's talk about the war in Hanzhong." Xiang Zhuang rubbed his hands and said, "Now Zi'ang is confronting the Han prime minister Bai Mo on the Taurus Road. Bai Mo and Xuejian are both descendants of Guigu. It is not easy for Zi'ang to win. I want to send an elite soldier out of Jiange from a small way to capture the rear of the Han army. What do the military advisors think?"

Bailixian pondered and said, "This path is known to the Han army, and the Han army will be prepared for it. Our army wants to leave Jiange from this path and capture the rear route of the Han army, which is probably not easy." After saying this, Bailixian said, "However, Bai Mo's troops are not large. He has to deal with Zi'ang's frontal attacks and support the sneak attacks from the side. It is inevitable that he will lose sight of one thing and the other. I think it is OK."

Xiang Zhuang immediately stood up and shouted, "Hu Yan!"

With heavy footsteps, Huyan's iron tower-like figure had already stepped into the lobby. He stood under the hall and bowed to Xiangzhuang, and replied with a loud voice: "The last one is here!" After fighting in Jiange, Huyan was wearing more than a dozen arrows, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones. He returned to Langzhong for a full meal and a drink and then took a hot bath. He immediately became a fierce dragon spirit and a fierce tiger.

Xiang Zhuang ordered: "Lead two thousand troops and go out of the Jiange Road to catch the Han army's retreat!"

"Yes!" Hu Yan bowed and replied with a loud bang, then turned around and went down to the hall.
