There are countless traitors in the world, and countless Chu generals have betrayed Xiang Yu, but the one who troubled Xiang Yu the most was Ying Bu.

These were his trusted confidants, the only high-ranking official under Xiang Yu who had been granted a title of king, and they had all betrayed him!

Even when he attacked, they still organized their troops to continue resisting.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was consumed by a raging fire of fury.

Xiang Yu sent men to hunt down Ying Bu in Wu Rui's territory, hoping to force Wu Rui to unconditionally hand over Ying Bu and completely submit to Xiang Yu!

Yu Ziqi raised an eyebrow: "There has been no response so far..."

Surely Xiang Yu doesn't intend to continue attacking Hengshan State, does he?

Crazy!

Just by dividing up the Kingdom of Jiujiang and offending so many nobles, he is now under tremendous pressure.

When he initially decided to attack Jiujiang, he only wanted to annex this fertile land as Chu's rear base. Who could have imagined that it would be a massacre along the way?

We absolutely cannot afford to offend any more nobles from the Chu region.

All the nobles have been killed, so who will support Xiang Yu now?

It should be noted that Xiang Yu himself was a member of the Chu nobility!

Xiang Yu really did have the idea of ​​continuing the attack. The powerful Chu army was intimidating, and he wanted to take advantage of the momentum and wipe out all these disobedient guys.

He now sees clearly that few of these two-faced people are truly grateful.

A bunch of heartless traitors, they all deserve to die!

Just as Xiang Yu was pondering this, news arrived from Zhao.

Xiang Yu took the battle report from Chaoge and slammed it down.

The Overlord stared with his blood-red eyes wide open, like a mad lion!

"Useless! Zhao Jun is useless! Yin Jun is a beast..."

Xiang Yu's furious roar seemed to lift the roof off.

The Chu generals looked at each other, all with a bad feeling.

News had come earlier that Qin had conquered Shangdang and entered Handan, but at that time the main force of the Zhao army was still there, so everyone was not too worried.

However, the Qin army easily crossed the Yellow River and marched north, reaching the territory of the Yin state, which made the Chu generals somewhat anxious and eager to provide support.

The combined forces of Yin and Zhao must have an army of 100,000, right? It's only been a little over half a month since the last message came. Could it be that something big has happened again?

Yu Ziqi quickly took the battle report and glanced at it: "No..."

"Damn it, how dare those beasts of Yin Jun betray the Overlord and submit to the Qin traitors..."

"The Qin army, having annihilated 60,000 Zhao soldiers, is now occupying the entire Yin state..."

Just hearing Yu Ziqi's roar made even these ferocious Chu generals feel as if their blood was being scalded.

When they received the battle report and began to pass it on, everyone was shocked.

"How could this be? Sima Ang is the King of Yin, yet he willingly surrendered to the Qin traitors."

"The Zhao army was annihilated, Handan was captured, and even the King of Zhao surrendered. Who in Hebei can stop the Qin army's advance?"

At this moment, in the cold winter weather, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the Chu generals; no one could remain unmoved by this news!

The loss of Hebei was not a major concern for most people. For example, when Chen Yu rebelled and killed the King of Changshan, whom Xiang Yu had bestowed upon him, it was just a matter of replacing him with another vassal king.

However, if Hebei were to be incorporated into the Qin state, things would become very serious!

Yu Ziqi spoke solemnly: "Your Majesty, we should mobilize all the troops of Chu and unite with Linjiang, Hengshan, and Yan to fight against the Qin army!"

The Qin army was incredibly fast, both swift and ruthless.

Since the Qin state rose again, it has been constantly fighting. However, the Qin army's fighting strength has not collapsed; on the contrary, it has become even stronger and more terrifying.

Eighty thousand soldiers attacked Zhao, and within two months they defeated Zhao and destroyed Yin, sweeping across eastern Hebei!

Such ferocious power is simply astonishing!

At this point, the Chu generals no longer trusted the other feudal armies. If they wanted to stop the brutal Qin army, they would have to personally march north.

However, after Yu Ziqi finished speaking, everyone's expressions became strange.

Although Xiang Yu's enfeoffment was held last year, it felt as if everyone had experienced a huge change over the past decade!

Xiang Yu enfeoffed eighteen vassal kings, but now only three of them can be remembered by name.

The remaining state of Han still exists, but it is practically defunct. Zheng Chang is merely a Chu general defending Han territory.

All of this is basically related to the Qin army, which, starting with Liu Bang, swept across the land and had no rivals.

Xiang Yu's four eyes also seemed to freeze in their motion, staring in disbelief.

When he initially distributed the fiefdoms, he wanted to establish an unbreakable alliance of forces led by Xiang Yu, but how could things have turned out so tragically so quickly?

Xiang Yu clenched his fist: "As you commanded, issue the order to all regions!"

"We must gather our troops and march north to the State of Zhao; we cannot stand idly by and watch the Qin army take Hebei."

Xiang Yu's expression was somewhat cold, but only Yu Ziqi knew the terrifying rage that was accumulating beneath Xiang Yu's body at this moment!

However, this is also a good thing, as it diverted Xiang Yu's attention.

The Qin traitors may seem formidable, but if the Chu army can defeat them, they will establish an even greater reputation than after the last time they broke the cauldrons and sank the boats!

This time, the State of Chu will not simply divide the land into fiefdoms. After conquering the State of Qin, he will definitely unite with many ministers of Chu to support Xiang Yu in becoming the Emperor of Chu!

This established Xiang Yu's absolute power and his reputation as a hegemon.

"Peng Yue, you performed very well in this battle. You are hereby appointed as a general of the Chu Kingdom, commanding 20,000 soldiers, and will accompany them northward."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will serve the Great Chu with all my heart and soul, even unto death!"

Peng Yue spoke respectfully, but inwardly he was calculating whether he would have a chance to deliver a fatal blow to Xiang Yu this time.

If Xiang Yu dies, the world will be at peace!

During the attack on Jiujiang, Peng Yue experienced the joy of being carried along; Xiang Yu's Chu army was truly ferocious.

Even when facing the former Chu army, which had been separated from Ying Bu, they held an absolute advantage!

This stemmed from the soldiers' absolute worship of Xiang Yu; they were a powerful army driven by unwavering faith.

The state of Qin is determined to rebuild its imperial power, and the state of Chu is the only obstacle in its way!

"Even if we don't break through the Chu army in this battle, the situation will be different."

In the past, it was the Qin state that rose again, its weak national strength struggling to withstand the immense pressure brought by the Chu state.

Taking over Hebei would put immense pressure on the State of Chu!

Despite the resentful gazes of the many Chu soldiers, Peng Yue remained completely calm.

In any case, I'm not on the same path as these people.

"I have long since submitted to the royal army, and everything I have done is for the sake of Great Qin!"

He didn't care what these Chu generals thought of him.

They won't be able to keep this up for long.

……

In Hengshan Kingdom, Wu Rui sighed softly. Not long after seeing Ying Bu off, she heard news from Yin Kingdom, which struck the hearts of the civil and military officials of Hengshan Kingdom like a bolt from the blue.

"Your Majesty, is the Qin army... really that formidable?"
