General Yu's name is Qin Jia, he was one of the leaders of the army in Lujiang County, and he was defeated by Huan Chu and surrendered with more than 5,000 troops.

Among the dozens of people who raised troops in Lujiang County, not only Qin Jia was defeated and surrendered to Huan Chu, but the other eighteen people were also accepted by Huan Chu one after another, and the rest were all killed except for a few who joined forces with Zhou Wen to fight against Huan Chu. originally fled behind Peng Xinze's side of Zhou Wen, but now he has become Lu Zhe's subordinate.

After Zhou Wen and the others fled, Huan Chu failed to unify Lujiang County immediately, after all, neither Lu Zhe nor the Xiang clan wanted another force to occupy a county in the south. Lü Zhe sent a small force of men and horses to interfere, and only after the Qin army attacked did he withdraw the men and horses sent to Lujiang County. The Xiang family was even more rude, and Xiang Liang, the head of the Xiang family, led an army of 150,000 to come.

At present, Huan Chu has not been able to unify Lujiang County, he occupies about seven-tenths of the territory of Lujiang County, and there is still a force in the area south of Nanye (modern Nankang) that has not been eliminated.

Lujiang County connects Huizhang County, Huiji County, Jiujiang County, Hengshan County, Nan County, Cangwu County, and Changsha County, while Zhang County and Huiji County have Xinchu, Hengshan County, Nan County, and Cangwu County have Lu Zhe.

Many things that happened later also proved that it was impossible for Huan Chu to unify Lujiang County without interference, and even if Lu Zhe still did not expand to the east after the restoration of Xinchu, Xinchu would not let go of the fat of Lujiang County.

Xin Chu's bear heart is a puppet, and it is the Xiang family who is really in power, and Huan Chu knows this. Huan Chu is no stranger to the Xiang family, and the two sides had contact with each other before the world was in turmoil, and even said that Fan Zeng, the mastermind of the Xiang family, went to Huan Chu's seclusion more than once to solicit them.

So why didn't Huan Chu accept the solicitation? On the one hand, he was unwilling to be left behind, and on the other hand, he knew too well what kind of clan the Xiang clan was.

After the death of the Chu State, the Xiang family has always regarded himself as the savior of the Chu State, oh my God. The kings and grandsons of the Chu State are still there, and the three top noble clans of the Jing Clan, the Qu Clan, and the Zhao Clan also have descendants, and a clan that was originally a second-rate nobleman of the Chu State dared to regard himself as the savior of the Chu State, which is too shameless and ridiculous, right?

It's just that those Huan Chu don't think it's anything, and working together to restore Xinchu is a goal that can be worked together, but when Fan Zeng recruited Huan Chu, he once said a sentence of "sharing the world together", and it was this sentence that made Huan Chu even more sure that he could not be with the Xiang family.

The Xiang clan did not want to restore the Chu State, but to become the master of the Chu State himself, and later the Xiang clan set up Xiong Xin to manipulate the puppet for the King of Chu, which made Huan Chu afraid and did not want to be with him.

A clan that can manipulate a king as a puppet is more terrible and hateful than a clan and individual who is clearly fighting for itself, and dares to do so against a king. And what about colleagues? Is there anything else Xiang doesn't dare? This is also the reason why Huan Chu can accept Lu Zhe's persuasion but cannot accept Xiang's solicitation.

Lujiang County is a county that extends in all directions, and it is destined to be disturbed if it cannot be taken in a short period of time, Huan Chu originally wanted to take advantage of Lu Zhe's northern visit to eliminate the forces of Nanye within a month to unify Lujiang County, but Lu Zhe was unable to interfere with Xiang Liang but led an army of 150,000.

After Xiang Liang's 150,000 troops forced Lujiang County, he had the opportunity to give Huan Chu a choice, first staying in Qianxian County, which was close to Lujiang County, to rest, and then letting Xiang Bo, who was in Lujiang County, advise Huan Chu.

The 150,000 army came with an overwhelming force, and it was fake that Huan Chu was not nervous. He continued to meet with Xiang Bo and Yan Bi respectively, delaying time for Xiang Bo, but bargaining for Yan Bi, who represented Lu Zhe.

The steps are a few steps late. There is no possibility of self-reliance, Huan Chu is unwilling and does not dare to be with the Xiang family, so Lu Zhe has become a good choice. His negotiation with Yan Bi was naturally to get good treatment, but he also decided that Yan Bi would not dare to believe it if he offered too generous conditions.

The conditions offered by Yan Bi are not exaggerated to a certain extent. He didn't mention anything like "sharing the world" at all, let alone empty words such as being crowned king, but just said that he would retain the troops under his command and give him the right to take charge of the army. As for what kind of status will be in the future, it will depend on Huan Chu to make contributions.

Very plain and simple words came to Huan Chu's heart, if Lu Zhe also said "share the world" and "seal the king" or something, then Huan Chu would definitely be desperate to burn any enemy jade that came to attack without thinking about annexing. The bottom line in his heart was that the troops under his command would not be dismissed. has the right to take charge of the army, with these two premises, the rest is easy to talk about. As for what to do in the future, it depends on the merit, and the generous gift without merit is just poison, even if he obtains a high position and a prominent title now, he will inevitably die in the future, because he knows too well that there is no free lunch in the world.

The conditions were almost negotiated, Huan Chu did not twist, and directly wrote a letter asking for help, and the letter made it very clear that he would return to Chu as a last resort, and gave Lu Zhe fifteen days, and whether Lu Zhe could come from it within half a month depends on Lu Zhe's ability.

To be honest, Huan Chu was extremely surprised that Lu Zhe had sent troops so quickly, and he was even more shocked that Lu Zhe had defeated the Qin army three times in a row.

Oh, Huan Chu didn't know about the edict yet, thinking that Lu Zhe had already solved the 150,000 Qin troops that had gone south before returning to the army to support.

Knowing that the former army sent by Lü Zhe had arrived in Lujiang County, and at the moment when Xiang Liang might attack at any time, he sent Qin Jia, who had a high rank and sleek rank under his command, to greet him, and explained that he would try his best to lead the reinforcements sent by Lü Zhe directly to the front line of Wuyang.

There are more than 100 boats on the river, and the "Lu" flag is waving in the gale, what Qin Jia saw when he came was that Lu Zhejun's boat stopped and changed the queue of the fleet, he was a familiar person with the navy, how could he not see that it was making a defensive formation at a glance?

Qin Jia was sent by Huan Chu to receive Lu Zhejun, Xiang Liang had been waiting very impatiently before he came, seeing that Xiang Liang was constantly and frequently adjusting the position of the army, it was obvious that he could launch an attack anytime and anywhere. In this critical situation, as soon as he got on the ship, he expressed his hope that Ji Bu would lead the army directly to Jianyi on the front line of Wuyang.

If it was before, Ji Bu would have thought about it when he saw what Qin Jia said, but after experiencing the demotion from the commander to the five hundred lords, he really didn't want to fall from the scenery again, so he was to the point of saying nothing about carrying out Lu Zhe's orders. At the same time, it may be that the shadow of a defeat is too heavy, and when he senses that something is wrong, he does not hesitate at all and puts on a defensive posture.

"Please also ask General Qin not to say more, unless there is an order from the Lord, ......" Ji Bu looked at Qin Jia with scrutinizing eyes, and from time to time he glanced at the right leader who had not spoken.

Qin Jia hadn't noticed anything wrong at first, but when he saw that Ji Bu had been looking at the right leader, and the boats on the river were still moving, why didn't he know that Ji Bu was making a defensive posture?

The formation adjustment of the navy army is not as good as that of the army, especially under the premise of not having qualified army officers and commanders, it is even more time-consuming to adjust the formation, Qin Jia sullenly watched this group of "laymen" stop in place and waste time, wanting to say goodbye for fear of causing misunderstanding, and his face became unpleasant.

Ji Bu's vigilance was really clear at a glance, he looked at it for a long time and didn't see that the right leader was coerced, so Qin Jia was really under Huan Chu and not someone fake?

It's not that Ji Bu is suspicious, but the river is too quiet, and what general wouldn't be weak when the troops encounter this situation on the march? Besides, it's better to be careful than to really have an accident!

I don't know how long it stopped, and when the scouts sent out to spy on both sides of the strait came back, Ji Bu was relieved to hear the news that no army had been found within five miles of both sides of the strait.

If there was an ambush within five miles, the hesitation was eliminated, but Ji Bu still didn't dare to be careless, he asked the scout officer to arrange for the rangers to disperse the vigilance on the land on both sides of the strait, and then sent a small fleet to open the way first, but after he was ready, he saw Qin Jia looking at him with a strange expression.

Qin Jia felt that the commander of Lu Zhe's army was really too timid, he knew that his lord had already expressed his attachment to Lu Shizhe, and he had also heard that Lu Shizhe had defeated the 150,000 army that was heading south at the junction of Nanjun and Nanyang County.

150,000 Qin troops, not a rabble of 150,000 soldiers for less than a year, that is the elite Qin army of a hundred battles! Shouldn't an army that can defeat the Qin army be a fearless and heroic army? What Qin Jia saw was an army that seemed to be too cautious, a timid army that was so careful that the troops that were about to be annexed were about to be attacked, and they were unwilling to come to the rescue.

"Meet...... It's not as famous as famous. Qin Jia muttered to himself in a low voice.

Ji Bu didn't hear Qin Jia's words, but in fact, he wouldn't take it seriously if he heard it. When the situation is unknown, a foolish person who crashes into it is not called brave but reckless.

After the assignment was completed, the fleet also sent a fleet formation that was not at all presentable, and after doing this, Jibu found Qin Jia, "Is this general going to rush with the army?" ”

Qin Jia took it for granted: "Naturally! I didn't feel good about the etiquette, so I didn't do it, and said directly: "Please send someone to pick up my subordinates on the boat, and then rush together." ”

"Huh?" Ji Bu frowned, "Let's ask your troops to accompany the army on the shore." ”

What are you kidding? Ji Bu's army is not a naval army, but a group of landlubbers who use boats to get on the road, and letting Qin Jia and a few others get on the boat is already the limit, how can it be possible to let more than 500 soldiers with unknown circumstances also get on the boat!

"......" Qin Jia once again appreciated Lu Zhejun's timidity, "Then send the right leader ashore by boat." ”

Ji Bu did not refuse this time, and sent someone to send the right leader to the boat, during which he also took the opportunity to reconfirm the situation.

After the pro-soldier who sent the right leader ashore came back, he nodded to Ji Bu, meaning that Qin Jia was indeed Huan Chu's subordinate, not someone pretending.

"Then ......" Jibu yelled, "go!" (To be continued......)
