Chapter 226: Cutting Chu Again
Xiang Yan saw his precious grandson Xiang Yu, and the words just now came out of his mouth. Xiang Yu is fourteen years old this year, but he is taller than his father and uncle, coupled with the innate divine power since childhood, he killed the Qin army when he first entered the battlefield, and was valued by the king of Chu and Enshi, and was given the title of the first warrior of Great Chu.
Xiang Yu is also the core figure at this Xiang family banquet, but he already has a lot of alcohol at a young age. The children of the Xiang family who were not much older than Xiang Yu all gathered around Xiang Yu and listened to Xiang Yu talk about defeating the invincible Qin soldiers on the battlefield. Xiang Yu listened to the praise of the people around him, the young man's vanity was satisfied, and in his mouth, Qin Bing was completely like a group of local chickens and dogs.
"The Qin army is powerful, right? That must be powerful, otherwise you see that in just a few years, they will destroy Korea, Zhao, Wei, and not long ago, even Yan was destroyed by the Qin army. Now I am afraid that the only one who can fight with the Qin army is our Chu army, don't look at the Qin army this time with 200,000 troops to fight us, what happened in the end, it was not that my grandfather led the army to run away, even their deputy commander Meng Wu was killed by my grandfather with an arrow. Xiang Yu held the wine glass in one hand and boasted to the friends who grew up together.
"That is, Brother Yu is born with divine power and has the courage of ten thousand people, how can those Qin troops who can only fake the power of the fox and the tiger be the opponent of my Chu army. ”
"Yes, General Xiang Yan is like a god with soldiers, plus Brother Yu, who is powerful and powerful, he will definitely be able to fight the Qin army and flee. You say yes, Brother Yu?"
A middle-aged man walked over, slapped each of the children on the head, and then said sharply: "What are you all talking nonsense about? And you, Yu'er, don't think that you really think that you are invincible in the world after winning a battle." Your grandfather is calling you, hurry up. ”
Seeing that it was his father, Xiang Yu's arrogant appearance retracted, stood up and saluted his father, and then followed his father towards where his grandfather Xiang Yan was.
"Father, Yu'er is here. Xiang Yu's father, Xiang Qu, said to Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan saw Xiang Yu behind Xiang Qu and beckoned him to come over. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my good grandson Xiang Yu. This time I was able to defeat the attack of the Qin army, and my good grandson made a lot of contributions. Xiang Yan pulled Xiang Yu, who walked to the side, and introduced it to his colleagues and friends sitting in the hall.
Everyone was very interested in this young man who was given the first warrior of Chu by the King of Chu at a young age, and when they saw Xiang Yu in person today, they suddenly felt that this son was extraordinary. Just by Xiang Yu's muscles that are far beyond ordinary people, you can see it.
A friend sitting in the hall said to Xiang Yan: "General Xiang has such a grandson, it's really gratifying!"
"Yes, General Xiang, I have long heard that Ling Sun's divine power is invincible in the world, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation when I see it today. ”
After listening to the praise of these people, Xiang Yan was even happier than he had defeated the Qin army again. "My family's Yu'er's divine power is indeed rare in this world, but Yu'er's temper is slightly hot and not calm enough. Yu'er, you must correct what I said in the future, if you have always been so impatient, grandpa would not dare to hand over the hundreds of thousands of troops of my Xiang family to you. ”
Xiang Yu enjoyed everyone's praise for him very much, and he didn't pay attention to what his grandfather said about the second half of his sentence. He patted his thick chest and said to his grandfather: "Don't worry, grandpa, I will." ”
Xiang Yan let Xiang Yu leave, he shook his head helplessly because his grandson didn't listen to his words at all, fortunately, Xiang Yu is still young, and it's okay for him to lead an army to charge, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to command the three armies.
"Come, come, drink this cup to your heart's content!"
There was laughter and laughter in the Chu State, but there were gloomy clouds in the Qin State. All along, it seems that everyone in the Qin State has become accustomed to the invincibility of the Qin army, from the previous Qin army to seize a certain city of the enemy, to the previous hearing which princes were destroyed and accustomed to it. This time, the 200,000 troops of the Qin army failed to attack the Chu State, not to mention the loss of the city and land, even the general Meng Wu was shot and killed by the Chu army, just like the Shangdang Rebellion Meng Fu was shot by Fan Yuzhi, the father and son ended up the same. This incident not only made the court of the Qin State as calm before the storm, but also made the people of the Qin State feel incredible, no one expected that the Qin army would be beaten so badly by the Chu army this time. Hundred Flowers Literature
Obviously, the removal of a Li Xin is far from extinguishing the anger of King Yingzheng of Qin, so for a few days in the court, all the ministers did not dare to speak out, and everything was played to Yingzheng, and then he hurried back to his seat.
The CRRC Mansion Decree was the most powerful eunuch in the palace of the King of Qin, responsible for all expenses in the palace. But unfortunately, he became the target of King Yingzheng of Qin, because he accidentally broke the two night pearls that Yingzheng liked to play with the most, and as a result, Yingzheng, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, was pulled out and beheaded.
The new CRRC government order is none other than Zhao Gao next to Yingzheng. In Ying Zheng's words: instead of using an unfamiliar person, it is better to use the person he is most familiar with, not to mention that Zhao Gao has been with the widow for several years, and the widow can trust him. As a result, Zhao Gao, a little eunuch who was originally unknown in the palace, ascended to the top of the palace overnight.
Meng Wu died in battle, and his wife also followed him, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi began to slowly take care of military and state affairs after the one-month wake-up for their parents. Ying Zheng saw that his most trusted brothers began to serve as governors, and the depression in his chest was swept away, and he wanted to attack Chu again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow wants to attack the Chu State again, what does Aiqing think?" After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yingzheng left Wang Qian, Li Si, Meng Tian and others behind and asked them for their opinions on attacking Chu again.
Li Si was not good at fighting on the battlefield, so he said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, now that my Qin country has enough food and grass, and the number of soldiers in the army has been recruited, if the king wants to attack Chu again, the minister promises to let the army have no worries." ”
"Okay, Xiangguo is very relieved. Old General Wang, Meng Qing, what do you think?" Ying Zheng asked as he looked at Wang Jian and Meng Tian who were sitting on the side.
Meng Tian didn't speak, of course he wanted to attack the state of Chu and avenge his father, but with Wang Jian here, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart.
Wang Jian spoke: "Does the king want to listen to the opinions of the old ministers?"
"Of course, the old general is the first general of the Qin State, and of course the old general has to listen to the words of the old general. ”
Wang Jian nodded, he stood up and said, "The old minister still said that, if you want to defeat the Chu State, you must have an army of 600,000 invincible. ”
Meng Tian followed Wang Qian's words and said: "The minister thought that what the old general said was that the last time my Qin army's 200,000 troops attacked Chu was rude, firstly, because the Chu army was good at water warfare, our army was not good at water warfare, and some soldiers were not suitable for water and soil, and secondly, it was also because of the defection of Changping Jun, so that the Chu army attacked before and after, and our army was defeated. This time, the king wanted to attack Chu again, and the minister thought that General Wang was the most suitable candidate to lead the troops. ”
Ying Zheng felt that Wang Jian looked down on the Chu army too much for Wang Qian's 600,000 army to attack Chu, and the failure of Li Xinmeng's army this time made Ying Zheng understand a truth, that is, whether Chu was or is now, his strength is still there, in folk words, the camel that was killed is bigger than a horse, and the strength of Chu is far from Korea, and the princes of Wei who are often bullied by the Qin army can compare.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said: "The widow didn't believe the words of the old general before, and let General Mengwu die tragically in the hands of the Chu army, and the widow has always blamed himself for this matter. ”
"If the king knows his mistakes, he will correct them, and he will be very good. Xiang Yan's old minister of Chu State wanted to fight him for a long time, so he also asked the king to give the old minister a chance. ”
"Okay, the old general's invitation to the widow is approved, and the order is that the army will be 600,000 from now on, Wang Jian will be the commander, and Meng Tian will lead 100,000 Mengjia troops as the vanguard to attack the Chu State, and the Chu State must be destroyed this time. ”
