Zhou You and Xiang Yu were trapped before, and almost no one came to rescue them. But now, they defeated Zhang Han and Wang Li's army of hundreds of thousands. While causing a huge shock, it also attracted all the rebel forces to send people.

Come to congratulate, even King Huai of Chu Xiong Xin sent people to bring food and grass.

King Huai of Chu moved the capital from Xuyi to Pengcheng, named Zhou You the Marquis of Wu'an, and appointed him the governor of Dangjun, commanding the troops of Dangjun. He also named Xiang Yu the Marquis of Chang'an, and appointed him the Duke of Lu County. To put it bluntly, Lu County is Lu County.

County magistrate, this made Xiang Yu secretly unhappy.

In fact, both Zhou You and Xiang Yu have military power. Especially Zhou You, who has elite soldiers and generals, actually does not take Xiong Xin seriously in his heart. The so-called King Huai of Chu is just a tool like a spiritual banner.

, will be replaced sooner or later.

Therefore, Zhou You did not pay attention to the canonization of King Huai of Chu, and immediately discussed with Xiang Yu, planning to take advantage of the fact that Tyrannical Qin had lost troops and generals, and was severely weakened, to send troops to attack Guanzhong and destroy Tyrant Qin in one fell swoop.

After some discussion, the two soon reached a consensus and gathered all parties to join the western expedition to destroy Qin. At the same time, Zhou You and Xiang Yu decided to divide their troops into two groups and agreed that whoever could attack Guanzhong first would get the land in Guanzhong.

And be the king of Guanzhong.

Of course, when making this decision, Zhou You and Xiang Yu also informed King Chu Huai that they would naturally not refuse to destroy Qin.

In order to support the two men, King Huai of Chu specially sent some troops to Xiang Yu, who had a relatively small number of troops, and sent his trusted general Song Yi to serve as commander-in-chief, with Xiang Yu as the vanguard.

Obviously, King Chu Huai wanted to restrain Xiang Yu, which made Xiang Yu even more dissatisfied. As for Zhou You, they were not directly under King Chu Huai.

If people went there, it would probably be useless, so I didn't send anyone.

Next, Zhou You and Xiang Yu divided their forces to capture Puyang, Waihuang and other cities, and then advanced together, heading straight towards Xianyang.

In the meantime, Zhou You gathered the scattered troops after Chen Sheng's defeat, absorbed some scattered rebels and generals, and quickly entered Dongjun, captured Chenliu, obtained a large amount of food supplies, and then attacked in one go.

After descending Daliang, he defeated the Qin general Yang Xiong on the white horse and marched his army directly towards Xingyang.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also captured the counties south of Xingyang. Zhou You and Xiang Yu attacked from the north and south, turning Xingyang into an isolated city. Xiang Yu accepted Fan Zeng's suggestion and left Xingyang to Zhou You to delay his advance.

, but unexpectedly the Qin army in Xingyang surrendered to Zhou You soon.

You must know that Xiang Yu tried to attack Xingyang before, but failed to capture it. The reason why the Qin army in Xingyang did not surrender to him, but turned around and surrendered to Zhou You, was not only because they were in a desperate situation, but also mainly because of Zhou You.

In the name of benevolence and righteousness!

Therefore, after easily capturing Xingyang's circumnavigation, we continued to move westward, heading towards Luoyang, intending to enter Guanzhong via Pingyin, Mianchi and Hangu Pass.

This route is close, but it is also relatively difficult to reach. Especially Hangu Pass, which can be said to be the barrier to the east in the pass. I think Qin used this pass to conquer the six eastern countries!

So after Zhou You attacked Luoyang all the way, and Pingyin and Mianchi approached Hangu Pass, Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's counselor, was also waiting to see Zhou You's jokes!

But he forgot that nothing in the world is absolute. Although Hangu Pass is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, its closed door was vulnerable to the explosive power of gunpowder, and was actually conquered by Zhou You in one fell swoop.

Hangu Pass was easily broken, and the blow to the morale of the Qin army can be imagined. It was almost the last straw to overwhelm the Qin Dynasty, and it broke the backbone of the Qin Dynasty. Next, hundreds of thousands of roaming armies advanced.

Xianyang did not receive any strong resistance.

Before Xiang Yu could react, Liu Gao had already surrendered to Zhou Kaicheng on behalf of the Qin Dynasty and presented the imperial seal.

He occupied the periphery of Xianyang, sent his generals to attack separately, and easily swept through Hanzhong, Bashu and Guanzhong, becoming a veritable king of Guanzhong.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the remnants of the Qin Dynasty in the local areas, the officials of the Qin Dynasty and the troops stationed in the local areas naturally lost their will to resist and surrendered one after another. This also allowed Xiang Yu to easily break through the Wuguan Pass and enter the central Guanzhong, and he and Zhou You and

The other kings of the six kingdoms and the leaders of the rebel armies gathered in Lantian.

Zhou You, who entered Guanzhong first, has become the leader of all parties. He is the most powerful and the most powerful. However, Zhou You still respects Xiang Yu and specially discussed with him how to arrange the people of all parties in the future.

power.

Xiang Yu, who was originally a little dissatisfied and unconvinced that Zhou You actually attacked Guanzhong first, saw that Zhou You was so polite to him, and all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

After Zhou persuaded him that he only wanted Guanzhong and Hanzhong, the land of Bashu, which was the old land before the Qin Dynasty, and all the territory east of Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu became even more convinced of him.

After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, all the forces from all sides did not want to expand their territory, and even thought about competing for the position of the master of the world in the future. But Zhou You was willing to give up so much. Xiang Yu felt that he was inferior to this magnanimity, and naturally he could not let Zhou You

This brother is at a disadvantage!

So, when the kings gathered to divide their territory, Xiang Yu ignored Fan Zeng's objections and won the territories of Mianchi, Pingyin, Luoyang and other nearby counties for Zhou You.

After all, Zhou You was willing to give up a lot of the territory he had conquered before, and the other princes had nothing to say. They were able to become kings because they were actually following Zhou You and Xiang Yu and taking advantage!

After the enfeoffment was completed, when the kings were happy to lead their troops back to their respective fiefdoms, and Xiang Yu, the self-proclaimed overlord of Western Chu, was about to return to Pengcheng, Zhou You secretly discussed with him, feeling that King Xiong Xin of Chu Huai was no longer useful, and instructed Xiang Yu to find him.

Chance to kill it.

Xiang Yu also acted very quickly. Not long after returning to Pengcheng, he sent people to kill King Huai of Chu directly on his way to Changsha.

At the same time, the troops who stayed in Pei County, Sishui, Dongjun and Dangjun and other places also protected Lu Fei and other family members on their way westward, and even brought some people who were willing to follow them to Guanzhong.

Zhou You made Xianyang his capital without any hesitation, moved into Xianyang Palace, and treated Epang Palace as his own palace. He held a grand ceremony to confer Lu Zhi as queen, Lu Su and Yu Shu as concubines, ennobled civil and military officials, and held a general amnesty. He also promulgated a series of government decrees to allow the people to rest and recuperate. Soon, the land in Guanzhong was rejuvenated, and it seemed to have the atmosphere of a country.

After Zhou You became king in Guanzhong, Lu Zhi, Lu Su and Yu Shu, as queens and princesses, became pregnant one after another. Facts have proved that the leader of a country can indeed make Zhou You have children by borrowing the luck of the world.

The next year, Lu Su gave birth to a son for Zhou You first, and Zhou You named him Zhou Xing in the hope that his business would be more prosperous in the future.
