Chapter 564
Bishu's army chased the mouth of Ziwu Valley two days later than the Han army. Seeing a Han army blocking the valley not far from the mouth of the valley, Bishu did not rashly launch an attack. While ordering the Chu army scouts to investigate the dense forests on both sides of the valley, he personally led his people to climb the cliff on one side of the valley to explore the enemy's situation.
The iron cow climbed a lonely pine hanging from the cliff and looked down the cliff for a moment, then returned to the cliff and reported to Bi Shu: "General, the Han army blocked the valley entrance at most 5,000."
"Five thousand people?" Bi Shu pondered, "So, Bai Mo's army has already gone to Xianyang first?"
Tie Niu said: "The Bai Mo's army was sent to Xianyang. The prince's side might be in danger. Please order an attack."
"No, let me think about it, let me think about it first." Bi Shu waved his hand, then looked at the valley under the cliff and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Bi Shu's face showed a smile again and said, "Hehe, it seems that my senior brother is desperate. He took the army to Xianyang to surrender to the prince."
"Bai Mo surrendered?" Tie Niu said anxiously, "General, there must be a fraud among them!"
"Oh?" Bi Shu looked at Tie Niu and said with great interest, "Why do you say that?"
"Is there anything else?" Tie Niu said anxiously, "General, you think Bai Mo is a senior official of Liu Bang's entrustment. He is loyal to the King of Han. How could he surrender to Chu? No, he will never, General, hurry up and send troops to attack the mouth of Ziwu Valley. It's too late, so the prince may be in danger."
"Haha, Tieniu, you're too worried." Bi Shu smiled and waved his hand, saying. "The prince will not be in danger. It would be fine if Bai Mo really surrendered. If he pretended to surrender, he would probably have to make it true, hey."
Youdao is the master and disciple. Bi Shu knows very well that the prince’s military strategy is not top-notch, and at best, it is the best. However, in terms of scheming, few people can match the prince. If they have to make a comparison, I am afraid that the king’s scheming is deeper than the prince. As for Bai Mo, it is really slim to fight with the prince in such an unfavorable situation.
"Make the fake and become true?" Tie Niu said in confusion, "General, what do you mean?"
Bi Shu didn't say much, but just smiled and said, "Tie Niu, you will know then... Xianyang, Xiang Zhengzheng.
Gao Lang hugged his sword and bowed to Xiang Zheng, "Zihe, very happy!"
"Oh?" Xiang Zheng knelt down from the collapse and asked with a smile. "Great joy? Where did the joy come from?"
Gao Lang said: "A messenger just arrived, and Bai Mo's army had arrived ten miles east of Xianyang City."
Xiang Zheng's expression moved slightly and said anxiously: "Ziliang, do you mean that Bai Mo is here to offer troops to surrender?"
"That's right, the letter of the military talisman is here." After that, Gao Lang took out the letter and the military talisman from his arms.
Xiang Zheng reached out to take the military talisman, then opened the surrender book and read it in a hurry. Then he fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked Gao Lang: "Ziliang, do you think Bai Mo is a fraudulent surrender?"
Gao Lang said: "I can't say it either."
Xiang Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "No matter whether he really surrenders or pretends to surrender, go and welcome him first."
At that time, Xiang Zheng, Gao Lang led hundreds of personal soldiers out of Xianyang to the east, three miles away from the city, and then met Bai Mo and dozens of personal cavalry who were accompanying him to protect him. Bai Mo immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed to the left: "Bai Mo, the thief, kowtow to the prince."
Xiang Zheng didn't get off the horse, let alone come forward to support him, but just looked at the legendary character carefully.
Xiang Zheng did not dismount, so Gao Lang and the Chu soldiers who were accompanying him did not dismount. Sun Ying, the left central general of the Han Dynasty, who came with Bai Mo, looked angry and endured it so that he did not attack.
After a moment, Xiang Zheng suddenly came to his senses, quickly got out of the horse, and then rushed forward to help Bai Mo. Gao Lang also got off the horse, pressing his hand to the horizontal knife and followed Xiang Zheng closely. A pair of sharp eyes stared at Uncle Sun Ying, who was kneeling behind Bai Mo, for fear that Uncle Sun Ying would suddenly start to hurt someone.
"Oh, I'm rude, the student is rude." Xiang Zheng reached out to help Bai Mo and said repeatedly, "Please get up, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Bai Mo and Bi Shu both came from Guigu, and Bi Shu was Xiang Zheng's teacher, so it was not abrupt that Xiang Zheng called Bai Mo his uncle.
Bai Mo stood up with the flow and said lightly: "I dare not take the blame for the crime."
"It's worth it, it's worth it." Xiang Zheng held Bai Mo's hands and smiled, "My teacher and his teacher came out of Guigu's sect together, and they all deserve it in terms of knowledge and seniority, haha."
Bai Mo also smiled and said, "You are polite, haha."
After a few cold words, Bai Mo said again: "The prince, the army of criminal ministers is now stationed ten miles east of Xianyang City. The prince can send someone to take the military talisman to receive it at any time."
Bai Mo never thought about retaining his army during this fraudulent surrender. The reason is very simple. If he refuses to hand over his army, how can he make Prince Chu believe in your sincerity?
Xiang Zheng smiled and suddenly turned around and said to Gao Lang: "Ziliang, where is the military talisman?"
Gao Lang took out the military talisman from his arms and handed it to Xiang Zheng. Xiang Zheng took the military talisman and handed it to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo's heart was slightly stern, but on the surface he asked in surprise: "Prince, what do you mean?"
Xiang Zheng said: "Hey, if the student rashly sends someone to take over, he may cause a mutiny. Since the master has surrendered to Chu, he will be the minister of Chu. Therefore, it is better to leave the army to the master to command it."
"This..." Bai Mo frowned, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"
Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's very appropriate, the students think it's very appropriate."
Bai Mo hesitated, but Xiang Zheng couldn't help but put the military talisman into his hand without saying anything. A hint of harshness flashed through his uncle Sun Ying's eyes, thinking that Prince Chu is really seeking death!
Bai Mo took the military talisman and said, "Crown Prince, I wonder if the criminals can meet the King of Han?"
Bai Mo was most worried about the safety of King Liu Heng of Han, because if Liu Heng had any good intentions, his deception would become meaningless.
"Of course, the King of Han is at the student headquarters, and the master of the master can see him at any time." Xiang Zheng looked at the serious expression behind Bai Mo and the soldiers of the Han army, and said, "The student knows what the master of the master is worried about. In fact, there is no need. The Chu and Han fight are just hegemony. The father has issued an edict that as long as the King of Han obeys the King of Chu as the King of Chu, he can still be the king and can still maintain the fiefdom."
As soon as Xiang Zheng said this, not only Bai Mo was stunned, but Shusun Ying and the Han soldiers who accompanied him were even more incorrect. The King of Han was still the king and could still maintain the vassal state? How could this be possible? Chu Han is a feud, and Xiang Yu was killed by Liu Bang. Does King Xiang Zhuang of Chu want to avenge Xiang Yu?
Xiang Zheng seemed not to see the mistakes of the Han army soldiers, and then said to Bai Mo with stern hands: "Master, please."
Bai Mo's mood became heavier. At this moment, he felt that he could not see through the young Prince Chu in front of him. What kind of person did the junior brother teach? However, when facing Xiang Yu's warm gaze, Bai Mo still smiled reluctantly, and gave in and said, "Criminal Prince, please, please, please."
Xiang Zheng smiled casually and walked first... On the road leading to Hangu Pass in Luoyang, a huge army, horse and caravan were winding westward.
In the royal chariot, Xiang Zhuang, who had just closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly said to Bailixian who was accompanying him: "Ziliang, I plan to abolish Zheng'er and change Shu'er to the prince."
Bailixian was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
In recent years, with the expansion of Xiangzhuang's harem lineup, the number of children has also increased. Now there are more than 30 sons alone, but the sons who are already adults or have shown their nature are still the same, such as Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zhi, Xiang Quan, Xiang Shu, Xiang Wang and Xiang Yong, but Xiang Zhi has died.
Among these sons, Xiang Zhuang usually loves Xiang Shu the most.
In theory, it is normal for Xiang Zhuang to have the idea of abolishing the establishment because he favored Xiang Shu, but Bailixian knew that things might not be that simple, because Shu'er was produced by his young sister Baili Yishui, and he was his Bailixian's nephew. When the king suddenly told him about this, would he be testing him?
Seeing Bailixian silent for a long time, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziliang, what do you think?"
Seeing that he could not escape, Bailixian smiled bitterly and said, "King, I really dare not argue with the matter of abolishing the establishment."
"Okay, I know what you mean." Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly and did not continue to ask Bailixian.
A moment later, a gentle snoring sounded in the carriage, but Bailixian no longer felt sleepy and sighed sadly in his heart. The most ruthless imperial family, the most ruthless imperial family... Xianyang, the prince's headquarters.
Xiang Zheng smiled and said to Liu Heng: "King of Han, today you will have a good reminiscence with your master and you will set off for Luoyang tomorrow." After saying this, Xiang Zheng turned to Bai Mo and said, "School, you are familiar with the people in Guanzhong, so you don't have to go to Luoyang anymore. You have to stay and assist Ziliang in governing Guanzhong."
Gao Lang also bowed to Bai Mo and said, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister."
"I dare not, I dare not." Bai Mo quickly knelt down and stood up, bowing his hand to return the gift.
"Okay, then you guys talk, haha." Xiang Zheng said and stood up and left straight with Gao Lang.
When Xiang Zheng and Gao Lang and the other two walked away, Liu Heng and Bai Mo hugged each other and cried loudly. The old general Mei Yu, the left central general Sun Shang, and the right central general Sun Ying stood beside him, sighing.
"Father Xiang." Liu Heng said while crying, "I think I won't see you again."
"King." Bai Mo also burst into tears and said with great guilt, "I am incompetent, I am ashamed of the king, ashamed of the previous king, ashamed of the previous king, ashamed of the previous king's entrusted at the death..."
"Xiangfu, I won't blame you." Liu Heng thought that Bai Mo had really surrendered to the State of Chu. Although he was sad, he really didn't mean to blame Bai Mo. He shook his head and said, "The state of Chu is powerful, and this is the general trend, and it is not reversible by human power." After a pause, Liu Heng said again, "I have no regrets to be able to meet Xiangfu today."
"King, don't have the idea of suicide." Bai Mo's face changed slightly, and he winked at Shusun Ying and Shusun Shang. The two brothers understood and immediately stood up and guarded the hall. Bai Mo then lowered his voice and said to Liu Heng, "King, my surrender to Chu is a false surrender. I will definitely try to retake Guanzhong and welcome the king back." (To be continued)!~!
