Chapter 701 Two Tigers Fighting

Chen Du.

"Tian Hu, this bastard!"

Chen Sheng crushed the bamboo slips in his hand into powder, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Come here, mobilize the army for me..."

"Your Majesty!"

Before Chen Sheng finished speaking, his attendant Lu Chen came out and stopped him.

"No!"

"What did you say?"

"Now Tian Hu has killed the false king and holds hundreds of thousands of troops. If the king sends troops to conquer him, the outcome is unpredictable. What's more, if Tian Hu is forced to panic, he jumps over the wall and surrenders to the Qin army. For us, , but it’s a big disadvantage.”

Lu Chen's words made Chen Sheng calm down and his anger gradually subsided. Now all the rebels no longer obey his orders. Zhang Chujun's main force's Western Expedition failed. If he fell out with Tian Hu now, it would be too risky for him.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Tian Hu should be given the title of prime minister and let him lead the army to continue the attack on Xingyang. Now Zhao Shuang has only deployed 80,000 troops in the Xingluo area. For us, this is an opportunity. Only by attacking Guanzhong as soon as possible can the king continue to stabilize Live in the position of the Lord of the World."

Chen Sheng was suffocating in his heart, but in the end reason prevailed.

"Just do what you want!"

Chendi is a water transportation hub, gathering a large number of soldiers and materials to support hundreds of thousands of troops in their western expedition.

However, although Chen Sheng swallowed his breath, he still felt angry after all.

"But from now on, don't add any more soldiers to Tian Hu."

Chen Sheng's words resounded throughout the palace, with an angry tone.

Lu Chen was in the palace and bowed his hands.

"I obey!"

…

"Ayan, it's true as you said. Instead of blaming me, Chen Sheng gave me the title of prime minister and let me command the troops and continue the attack on Xingyang."

In the big tent, Tian Hu's face was full of joy when he saw the order coming from Chen Du.

Tian Yan nodded and said.

"The current Chen Sheng is no longer the Sheng Qi he used to be. He is very aware of the powerful relationship. At this critical moment, he will not fall out with his second uncle. However, although he has granted the title of second uncle, he has not sent any reinforcements. The second uncle understands What does it mean?"

"I don't think he dares to give me any more troops."

When Tian Hu was feeling proud, Tian Yan stood up.

"Okay, this matter is settled, and it's time for me to leave."

Tian Hu said without reacting.

"Ayan, are you leaving?"

"After all, this is a military center. It's not convenient for me as a woman to be here. My second uncle now controls an army of hundreds of thousands. It's up to my second uncle to decide what to do in the future."

Tian Hu thought about it and realized that Tian Yan was right. After all, she is the hero of the peasant family. In this army, there are many peasant disciples, which is very inconvenient for Tian Hu.

"Ayan, where do you want to go?"

"Maybe go to Kunyang to visit Uncle Zhu!"

…

Chang'an.

"As expected by the prime minister, the rebels are in chaos. Tian Hu killed Wu Kuang. Although Chen Sheng swallowed his breath, there is already a gap between the two people. I think now, even if we send troops to destroy Tian Hu , Chen Sheng won’t help either. This is a great time to put down Zhang Chu’s rebels.”

A huge military picture was pinned to the wall. Zhao Shuang looked at it, followed by a group of generals.

The military map clearly shows the current situation.

Chen Sheng occupies Western Chu, Xiang Liang occupies Eastern Chu, Tian Dan occupies Qi, Wu Chen occupies Zhao, Han Guang occupies Yan, and Wei Jiu occupies a large area of ​​land near Linji, East County.

If you look closely, you can see that troops are being deployed at strategic locations where the empire and the Kanto princes are competing.

At Jingxing Road, the passage between Taiyuan and Handan, Li Liang, the general of King Zhao's military ministers, led the Zhao army to confront the Taiyuan army. At the same time, the Zhao army confronted the Yan army led by Zang Tu, the general of Yan King Han Guang, at the Yan-Zhao border.

In the Kunyang, Yexian, and Yangcheng areas, Zhang Chu's army faced off against the Empire's Nanyang army, and the situation was crisscrossed.

On the Huai River front line, after repelling Zhang Chu's army, the threat did not disappear. The Xiang family sent General Yingbu to lead his rebuilt Thunder Leopard Army and stationed it west of Xutai, the capital of Chu, with the intention of getting a glimpse of Shouchun.

The most important thing is the main confrontation between the Sanchuan Army and Zhang Chu Army in the Xingyang area.

"Tian Hu killed Wu Kuang and seized military power. There must be a lot of internal dissatisfaction. It is indeed the most vulnerable time. But this is not the time to attack."

Zhao Shuang turned around and looked at the people in front of him.

"Now the prisoners in Lishan have been resettled one after another and are stationed in the border areas. If we organize their bravery, we can gather 100,000 or 200,000 horses, but if we send troops eastward, we may miss the farming season. Li Xin leads the army eastward Go out, and together with Li You, defeat Tian Hu, break the siege of Xingyang, and then stop the troops."

"promise!"

The generals retreated, and Zhao Shuang looked to one side. Behind the curtain, a person walked out.

"Chen Ping, what do you think the situation is now?"

"Since Chen Shengtian Hu has already created a rift, instead of us going to attack them, it's better to let them fight on their own."

Zhao Shuang glanced at Chen Ping and listened to what he said.

"Tian Hu's people are just grass bandits. I am a little curious, who gave him the idea to kill Wu Kuang and seize military power?"

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

"The person behind the scenes allowed Tian Hu to seize military power and compete with Chen Sheng, but he also put him on the fire. Tian Hu and Chen Sheng are already incompatible. Once Tian Hu comes over Having shown his defeat, Chen Sheng is afraid that he will not let him go. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Or, both sides will be injured."

"Then let them fight early."

"I understand."

As Chen Ping's figure walked away, Zhao Shuang said something leisurely, with a smile on his face.

"Tian Yan and Luo Wang are quite interesting."

…

On a quiet moonlit night, the river was swift, and a small boat sailed on the river, going south along the chasm.

Although the ship was small, the Luowang Six Sword Slaves who were famous in the past were standing on both sides of the ship, guarding it.

Tian Yan was sitting in the cabin. Opposite him was the top-ranked assassin of Luo Wang, Zhan Sun.

"As you said, Chen Sheng and Tian Hu are already at odds with each other. Just a spark can destroy all the tacit understanding between the two of them. But there are many capable ministers and generals in the empire, and they can definitely see the situation at this time. What if we seize this opportunity and send troops eastward to destroy Tian Hu?"

"Zhao Shuang will only defeat Tian Hu, but will not destroy Tian Hu."

"You mean, Zhao Shuang will fulfill your plan to fight the two tigers?"

"certainly!"

"Why is the leader so sure?"

"When two tigers fight, it's not just us who gain, it's the same for him!"

Tian Yan's eyes flashed with great confidence.

"He needs time to accumulate strength at this time. His Yulin Army has expanded to 50,000, and the Huben Army has also completed integration. Next, there is further expansion of the army. What he needs most at this time is time. It doesn't take a lot of time. He will be happy to see the enemy's troops weaken themselves one by one."
