Chapter 245 Return to Da Chu

Six counties, county magistrate's office.

That morning, a handsome man in white clothes suddenly came from outside the county magistrate's mansion. This man was no one else. He was Wu She who came to lobby for Zhou Yin's return to the Great Chu under the order of King Xiang Zhuang of Chu. Ten days ago, Wu She received a letter from Xiang Zhuang and walked down the river from Zhuyi and went ashore in Tongyang. After passing by the village, Longshu floated straight to the six counties.

"Who?" Jiujiang soldiers outside the county magistrate's mansion suddenly stepped forward and shouted sternly, "Stop!"

Wu She was dressed and said calmly: "Wu She, the senior official of the State of Great Chu, asked to see General Yin of Zhou."

"Well, the senior official of the State of Great Chu?" The four Jiujiang soldiers guarding outside the county magistrate's mansion changed their colors. The headed school immediately ordered the remaining Jiujiang soldiers to look forward to Wu She, and then turned around and hurried into the mansion.

Before a moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded inside the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, and then a large group of Jiujiang generals rushed out loudly. The leader was of medium figure and clear face. Isn't it just the former Chu Grand Marshal Zhou Yin? Zhou Yin was once a confidant general under the command of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. How could Wu She not recognize him?

"Mr. Wu She?!" Zhou Yin was both surprised and happy when he saw it was Wu She.

Wu She suddenly visited the six counties at this time, which really surprised Zhou Yin. At the same time, Zhou Yin was also a little happy. It was obviously impossible for Wu She to come to the six counties at this time. If nothing unexpected happens, Wu She should have been ordered by Xiang Zhuang to come to the six counties to lobby for Zhou Yin's return to Da Chu.

Wu She bowed deeply and said with a smile: "Sima, are you safe?"

When Dingyu was still alive, Zhou Yin was the Grand Sima of the Western Chu State and the Chief of Jiujiang County. After rebelling against Chu and returning to Han, Zhou Yin became the governor of Jiujiang County of the Great Han State. Now Wu She did not call Zhou Yin a general general, but called him the Grand Sima directly. In fact, she was telling Zhou Yin and his generals silently that the king intended to accept you again.

The Jiujiang generals behind Zhou Yin suddenly all showed joy. The reason why they followed Zhou Yin to rebel against Chu and return to Han was, on the one hand, because they could not bear to betray Zhou Yin, but on the other hand, because King Xiang was brutal. Han general Liu Jia also stolen the bad tent of Tushichengfu on their Jiujiang army, and they had no choice but to surrender to Han.

During the previous battle of Liyang, although Zhou Yin's Jiujiang army sent troops, they did not really contribute.

Now, the new king has clearly expressed his intention to accept the Jiujiang Army again. How can they be unhappy?

At that moment, more than a dozen Jiujiang generals turned around, and more than a dozen eager eyes focused on Zhou Yin's face. Several Jiujiang generals even thought to themselves that if the general insisted on re-entering the Great Chu, they would have to leave Jiujiang with their own troops. Zhou Yin was kind to them, but they never forgot that they were an old Chu person!

Zhou Yin did not immediately express his opinion, but said to Wu She with a stern hand: "Mr. Wu She, please!"

Wu She smiled slightly, shook her sleeves and floated into the gate of the county magistrate's palace. Wu She was as insightful as to Zhou Yin's inner concerns. In any case, Zhou Yin's betrayal led to the defeat of the previous king at Gaixia was ultimately true. Zhou Yin had to worry that what the king really wanted was only more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Jiujiang, not Zhou Yin.

It was already late at night, but Zhou Yin was completely sleepy and was pacing back and forth in the study, sighing.

Suddenly, light footsteps sounded outside the door. When Zhou Yin looked back, he saw that his eldest son Zhou Huan had already walked in with a serious expression. He greeted Zhou Yin's inquiry eyes. Zhou Huan bowed and said in a deep voice: "Father, I just went to the North Camp of the city to take a walk. Many generals hope that the Jiujiang army can return to Da Chu."

"Oh." Zhou Yin sighed, "The children of Jiujiang are still old Chu after all."

Zhou Huan said: "But father, we have a mortal hatred with Chu State, especially the Xiang family! The child is worried that this is just Xiang Zhuang's delayed military plan. Just when his father leads the Jiujiang army to Da Chu, he will deprive his father of his military power, and then he will kill you, my father and son, and even the entire Zhou family."

Zhou Yin nodded silently, this was exactly what he was worried about.

Zhou Huan paused and said, "Father, Xiang Zhuang probably won't give up. It seems that Jiujiang can't stay there anymore. Let's leave, leave Jiujiang and go to Guanzhong to join the King of Han?"

Zhou Yin shook his head and sighed, "Silly child, you think too easily. How easy is it to leave Jiujiang? Even if you and my father are willing to leave, are the more than 20,000 Jiujiang soldiers willing to leave? I am afraid that as soon as my father issued a military order, the more than 20,000 soldiers there should be a fluctuation in the morale of the army and collapsed."

Zhou Huan disagreed and said, "Father, I can't take care of so much work now. If you are willing to go with us, just go with us. If you don't want to go back to Da Chu or go your separate ways, then they can go."

Zhou Yin smiled bitterly, thinking that his eldest son was brave and resourceful, and he could be regarded as a rare general, but he was still a little immature in politics.

The reason why Zhou Yin was Zhou Yin was so respected by King Liu Bang of Han was because of the tens of thousands of Jiujiang troops under his command? Without these tens of thousands of Jiujiang troops, Liu Bang would still know him Zhou Yin? The King of Han had many counselors and fierce generals. Zhou Yin was not as literary as Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Wu was not as good as Zhou Bo and Lv Ze. What could he do to enter the Han camp alone?

Seeing Zhou Yin smiling bitterly, Zhou Huan said anxiously: "Father, are you saying something?"

Zhou Yin pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, for my father, I will cross the river with Mr. Wushe and go to Wuzhong to meet Xiangzhuang. If Xiangzhuang can really not blame the past, then return to Dachu. If Xiangzhuang re-reports the old affairs, I will pay the title of Xiangyu to pay tribute to Xiang Yu, and you will take the tribe members to Guanzhong again."

"Father, this matter is definitely not possible!" Zhou Huan's expression changed.

Zhou Yin waved his hand and said solemnly: "This matter is settled!"

After saying this, Zhou Yin specifically reminded him: "Huan'er, after leaving for his father, you must strictly restrain the troops and remember not to be impulsive, especially not to listen to the wind and rain, so as not to be caught in the trick of others using a knife to kill people!" Zhou Yin was really worried that after he crossed the river, Zhou Huan would believe rumors and use wars, so Zhou Yin would really not be able to survive.

Zhou Huan nodded with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, Father, the child has already recorded it!"

Longxi, Han army camp.

On the vast grassland, Han cavalry was conducting cavalry and shooting training.

On the temporary military parade platform, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were all wearing military uniforms, standing behind the guardrail in the wind. Standing on the military parade platform, looking down, I saw the black Han cavalry coming from the endless ants from the grassland on the west side like wind and clouds. But I saw horses crowded with horses and hooves sounded like tides. The momentum was more than spectacular?

Suddenly, the cavalry raised the heavy sword in his hand high and whispered: "Ao..."

Thousands of cavalry following followed them all tied their bows and arrows, aiming at the void on the left. The next moment, the heavy sword in the hands of the cavalry leader suddenly slashed down, and thousands of cavalrymen released their bowstrings at the same time. In an instant, thousands of feathered arrows had already swept into the air, and instantly, a dense rain of arrows intertwined in the air on the left.

"Okay!" Liu Bang said fiercely, "With this iron cavalry, why should I be afraid of Xiangzhuang's children?!"

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also had a slightly moved expression. They didn't expect that two small rope covers could change the way of fighting in the cavalry. Speaking of which, I have to thank the Huns. If the Changle Captain Lu Tai had not captured thousands of Hun cavalry alive, how could the Han cavalry equipped this simple but very practical horse combat weapon?

Liu Bang suddenly asked, "Zifang, Chen Ping, how do you think the Chu cavalry is compared to my iron cavalry?"

Zhang Liang shook his head, but Chen Ping said thoughtfully: "King, once I went to a restaurant, I accidentally heard two Korean horse vendors talking about the battle of extermination of the Linhu tribe. They said that the Linhu tribe was actually destroyed by the Chu army in Xiangzhuang, and in the battle to destroy Linhu, the Chu army once used a very terrifying cavalry!"

"A very terrifying cavalry?" Liu Bang said sternly, "What cavalry?!"

Chen Ping said: "According to the two horse vendors, this Chu cavalry is composed of hundreds of generals, and the mounts are BMWs with shoulder heights of more than eight feet, and even the people and horses are wrapped in thick iron armor. The spears used by the cavalry are more than four feet away. The Linhu cavalry is vulnerable in front of them!"

"What?" Liu Bang couldn't help but gasp in his air and said in shock, "Xiangzhuang's son has such a cavalry? What should I do? What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, don't panic." Zhang Liang said hurriedly, "This is just a rumor in the restaurant. It's not true. Moreover, even if Xiangzhuang really has such an iron cavalry, there will not be too many. How many BMWs can be under the world with a shoulder height of more than eight feet? It's great to have more than a hundred cavalry. What kind of climate can a mere hundred cavalry become?"

Chen Ping also said: "Brother Zifang is clear, and I dare not assert that this matter is true or false."

"No matter whether it is true or false, this matter cannot be ignored!" After saying this, Liu Bang said again: "Chen Ping, can those two Korean horse vendors be found?"

Chen Pingwei said: "King, this has happened several months ago. These two Korean horse vendors have returned to China long ago. It may not be easy to find them in a hurry."

Liu Bang said: "No matter how difficult it is, be sure to find these two horse dealers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Suihe, the disciple of the disciple, suddenly hurried to the parade platform and handed a book to Liu Bang.
