    "Mr. Li, before the war comes, the workers still need to make a few more repeating crossbow carts." Yang Lin said in a deep voice to Mr. Li beside him, "And Zhao Meng, you must fully cooperate with Mr. Li.  "

    "No! Lord, please rest assured." Zhao Meng responded with cupped hands.

    "My lord, you need to prepare more mulberry wood and thick hemp ropes. The crossbow arrows of the crossbow cart need special manufacturing, and please see, my lord, the hemp rope on this reel is connected to the crossbow arrows. After it is fired, the crossbow can be rotated to retract it."  Mr. Li pointed to the round wheel at the rear of the crossbow cart and explained.

    Yang Lin nodded. Since Mr. Li opened his mouth, he naturally had to comply with the request, so he said again: "I will leave this matter to Zhao Meng." Then he chatted with Mr. Li for a few more words and left in a hurry.

    As for the craftsmen in the courtyard, they began to get busy under the instructions and command of Mr. Li and Zhao Meng. For them, working day and night to make the crossbow cart was the greatest support for the Pei army.

    The Chu army far away in Wei is advancing rapidly. Xiang Yu is wearing shining silver armor. The Chu army behind him are all high in fighting spirit. The army of 50,000 people is endless, and they can't see the end. They can't get past it.  At this place, the people of Wei stayed away from him for fear of being dragged away by the Chu army to become young men.

    "Uncle, at this speed, we can reach Sanchuan in less than seven days." Xiang Yu said with a frown.

    Hearing this, Xiang Liang was also very satisfied. He said: "That's good, but I'm afraid that by the time I get to Sanchuan, Yang Lin will have been destroyed by the Qin army."

    "Haha, then our Chu army will destroy the Qin army, and then the three rivers will be in the hands of our Chu army. It's a pity that I couldn't cut off Yang Lin's head myself." Xiang Yu said with a loud laugh.

    "General Yu, if we can capture Sanchuan, our army's goal has been achieved. As for Yang Lin, he is just a clown." Fan Zeng said in agreement.  The Chu army seemed to be destroying Yang Lin this time, but its intention was very obvious. It was just to control the important area of ??Sanchuan.

    Xiang Liang looked forward and said with deep eyes: "Military advisor, please don't underestimate Yang Lin. This son is not where he is today because of luck."

    Fan Zeng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It is true what Duke Xiang Liang said. This son has a steady mind, a mature mind, and is extremely calm and calm when encountering difficulties. If General Yu can have such a temper, the world will be blessed with it."

    "Hmph!" After hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu snorted in displeasure. He already hated Yang Lin deeply. How could anyone compare him with the latter?

    Xiang Liang glared at his nephew and sighed slightly: "Yu'er must not be unreasonable. Although you have the strength of ten thousand people, you are also hot-tempered and arrogant. You really need to learn these from Yang Lin."

    Xiang Yu naturally did not dare to be disrespectful to his uncle.  He immediately handed it over and said yes.

    Just after the Chu army entered Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Qi also received notifications from the Chu envoys one after another. The countries had different reactions. Qi State was naturally extremely angry and expelled the Chu envoys. General Tian Rong was very unhappy. He said coldly with a raised eyebrow.  : "Your Majesty, I heard that Sanchuan has been occupied by Yang Lin. This son was once under Xiang Liang's command. He later rebelled and left. This time Xiang Liang sent troops to Sanchuan, seemingly to clear Yang Lin. In fact, it was to capture Sanchuan."

    "What the general said is true. Liang really thinks that everyone in the world is stupid? Humph, Chu wants to take the lead, how can we, Qi, just sit back and watch?" King Tian Dan of Qi also looked gloomy. Since he rebelled against Qin  From the beginning, his state of Qi was on par with Chu.  Now after more than a year of development, although the Qi State does not have as fierce generals as Xiang Yu, it still has many elite soldiers. He, King Tian of Qi, is angry, yes.  Chu State completely angered him.

    "The general listened to the order and led 50,000 troops straight to Sanchuan. He must not let Xiang Liang occupy Luoyang. In addition, he sent an order to Wei Bao to stop the Chu army. Huh, a little Wei King, if it weren't for me  Qi State supports, how can he be there? If he doesn't obey the order, the general will kill Wei Bao by the way." Tian Dan ordered hurriedly with anger.

    "No!" Tian Rong immediately accepted the order.

    As for the two countries of Yan and Zhao, they also sent troops to Sanchuan. Although they were not as powerful as Qi and Chu, they also wanted to get a share of Sanchuan.

    ??In Huang County outside Wei, General Zhou Shi has led his troops to settle in. When the people in the city learned that the Wei army was coming to drive away the Chu army, they all lined up to welcome them. After all, they were all from the Wei state. How could they tolerate the Chu army being so rampant?  After Zhou Shi settled in, he learned that the Chu army had sent an envoy. After he summoned him, he said righteously: "I am leading the troops to drive out the Chu army on the order of the King of Wei. You are an envoy. I will not kill you. Get out of here."  Go back to the Chu army and tell Xiang Liang not to insist on moving forward again."

    "General, Xiang Liang may not listen to his advice. This battle is necessary." In the lobby, the military advisor analyzed.

    Zhou Shi also sighed and said: "I also know that this battle is inevitable, so I ordered the entire army to strengthen vigilance, and sent scouts to investigate the Chu army's movements. The Waihuang County also needs reinforcements, and our army will be in Waihuang for this battle.  A showdown with the Chu army."

    &nbsp"Promise!" The generals took the order and took action one after another.  Suddenly, the city of Waihuang County was trembling. The Wei army moved very quickly. All kinds of defense materials were transported to the city tower, and the craftsmen recruited also began to strengthen the city.

    However, Xiang Liang, who was marching, was furious when he received the report from the Chu envoy again. King Bao of Wei repeatedly refused to allow him to pass the Chu army. This made him angry and at the same time humiliated. As a general of Chu,  , when had he ever received such humiliating treatment?

    "I ordered Long Qi to lead 10,000 troops to Waihuang. If Zhou Shi still refuses to give way, the Wei army will be destroyed." Xiang Liang ordered gloomily.

    Long Qie rode his horse forward and said with a smile: "General, please rest assured, this old man from Zhoushi, Long Qie will definitely let him retreat in spite of the difficulties."

    "Long Qie, you go first, our army will arrive shortly. If Zhou Shi is still in Waihuang at that time, I will punish you." Xiang Yu also said jokingly, he did not think Zhou Shi could stop Long Qie.

    "No! Let's lead the troops and leave now." After Long Qie finished speaking, he ordered his troops and generals, and led 10,000 horses in a hurry towards Waihuang County.

    Watching Long Qie go away, Xiang Liang's anger improved slightly, and he said again: "It seems that our Chu army has not fought for a long time and can no longer deter the other countries. Forget it, let them know this time that our Chu army is still  It is an unparalleled fighting force."

    "That's what Duke Xiang Liang said, but I'm afraid Qi will also send troops." Fan Zeng added worriedly, "Although they are sent as envoys to Qi, Tian Dan and Tian Rong are also ambitious and must be guarded against."

    "Humph, if Mr. Tian Rong comes, I will let him know how powerful the Chu army is." Xiang Yu had a sarcastic smile on his lips.

    "Don't worry, military advisor. As long as our army captures Luoyang, why should we fear Qi? At that time, I don't think Tian Rong will fight with our Chu army and both sides will suffer losses." Xiang Liang said calmly.  (To be continued)
