Chapter 705: Glowing Firelight
"Glowing firelight, away from confusion, good, it's really a good celestial phenomenon!"
Chaohu Lake, Jiujiang County, on the island in the center of the lake, pointing to two stars in the sky with similar positions, Fan Zeng raised his head and laughed so much that his beard trembled, and the white hair on his head flew wildly.
Huan Chu, who was standing on the side, shivered, the wind in late autumn was as fierce as a wolf's howl, especially on the flat surface of the lake like a mirror, he couldn't stand it even if he was wrapped in two layers of clothes, but this skinny old bone stood here laughing wildly against the wind, he was really a madman......
In Huan Chu's eyes, Fan Zeng was a strange person, their team of exiles in the grass was originally a water bandit on the river, composed of some light heroes who were not allowed to be in the Qin Dynasty's official government, doing small fights and looting, the leader was naturally Huan Chu, he was a famous hero in Jiangdong, and he was Xiang Yan's old department.
Three years ago, Xiang was martyred, and when his family fled to Xiang, Xiang Liang, who was in Guanzhong, was escorted to the north. The stars of the family were scattered, and the Xiang boy named Xiang Ji went south alone and joined the water bandits. Although this son is young, he is born with great strength, the short is to hold a sword, the long is a halberd, can be against ten people, they began to become bigger and stronger on the river, but they were immediately pursued by the government, and the loss was not small.
Huan Chu and Xiang Ji originally planned to take the rest of the people and run to Huiji County, where the Xiang family has a lot of old days, but at this time, Fan Zeng, a nest man, came alone, the old man was deliberately arrested, and when he saw the two, he said with a smile:
"The old decay came from you and others to fight against Qin together."
Listening to this gray-haired, nearly seventy-year-old old man say this, Huan Chu only felt funny, and just straightened his face and talked to Fan Zeng about "rebellion is not a dinner party", who expected that the next words of this old man made him and Xiang Ji have to be in awe.
"Thirty years ago, I ate under Chunshenjun's door, and I didn't listen to my policy, so I was killed by Li Yuan."
"More than 20 years ago, I was a guest of Shangzhu Kingdom, offering advice to him, and breaking the Qin Li Xinjun."
Shangzhu Guo, naturally Xiang Yan, the eldest father of Xiang Ji, although Xiang Ji is brave and easy to kill, but at least he has received an aristocratic education since he was a child, since he is a family old man, he must be polite and untie the old man Fan.
Unexpectedly, the old man drank a bowl of hot fish soup and began to point fingers at the two.
Fan Zeng accurately predicted that with the start of the second southern expedition, the Qin army's Jiaodong Zhou Division would definitely be transferred to Huiji, and it was suggested that Xiang Ji and Huan Chu would definitely be sent to death if they went there, so it was better to go to Chaohu Lake to fall into the grass.
"The water of Chaohu Lake, more than 100 miles on Thursday, occupies the territory of Ying, Liu, Shu, and Juchao four counties, accepts all the water and injects the river, lays Huai right, blocks the south of the Jiangnan, Wu Chu has competed here, the size of the port is three hundred and sixty, it is convenient for Tibetan soldiers to use soldiers, and there are thieves entrenched in Jiao Island in the lake, if you can seize it, you can use this as a stronghold, and recruit the children of Huainan Jiangdong to vote."
What the old man said was reasonable, and after the two discussed, they accepted Fan Zeng's proposal, and the group of water bandits entered the nest from the river.
Fan Zeng was originally a person from the nest, familiar with the local situation, Xiang Ji was brave, led everyone, and killed the thief in the lake to cry his father and call his mother, he himself beheaded dozens of hundreds of people, and the rest of the water Kou was afraid of this demon king, and they all surrendered.
They quickly gained a firm foothold in Chaohu, and also avoided the fate of Huiji Zhenze Zhukou being slaughtered by Ren Huan when he passed by.
After this incident, Xiang Ji was completely convinced by Fan Zeng and regarded him as the division commander. Just last year, when Xiang Ji turned 20 years old, Fan Zeng also gave him a formal aristocratic crown ceremony in accordance with the tradition of the Chu State, and gave Xiang Ji a word.
"Feather!"
"Although the Xiang family is disabled, it has not died out, and there is a grandson Xiang who stops in the south. Three years without wings, will be long wings, do not fly and do not sound, will observe the situation of the world, although there is no flight, flying will soar to the sky, although there is no sound, the song will be amazing. Hence the word 'feather'! ”
This is Fan Zeng's tailor-made plan for Xiang Ji, to endure in Chaohu Lake and wait for the times to change, instead of acting rashly like Qidi Zhutian, and as a result, he died completely......
Since then, Xiang Ji began to refer to Fan Zeng as "Ya Father".
Even if it has become the largest group of thieves within a radius of 400 miles from Chaohu, the Huainan children who are suffering from the labor of the Qin Dynasty have heard it and want to come and join it, but they still can't get on the stage, once they leave Chaohu, even the soldiers of Jiujiang County can't be defeated, and the "anti-Qin cause" that Xiang Ji has in mind seems to be so far away.
And Fan Zeng also wore a coat all day long, sitting by the lake to fish.
But Huan Chu has seen that the old man let the fish take the bait, but he didn't lift the rod, but looked at the lake in a daze, the fish took off the hook and ran away, he didn't care, and the waterfowl stopped on the hat and, and he said:
"It's not about fish, it's about the situation in the world."
To this day, Fan Zeng, who was originally sitting on the shore to "deduce the situation in the world", suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, startling Huan Chu, who was urinating in the lake on the side.
And what made Fan Zeng so excited was naturally the celestial phenomenon in front of him.
"Yingfu guards the heart, it is Yingfu Shouxin! The Qin State is really going to be in chaos! ”
Fan Zeng happily shared this matter with Huan Chu, but in exchange for Huan Chu's bewildered face.
"What is the Glowing Guard."
These light heroes are coarse, and of course they don't understand the art of stargazing.
Fan Zeng had to point to the stars in the sky and explain from the beginning:
"The heart is one of the seven nights of the Canglong in the East Palace, which is composed of three stars and is the place where the Emperor of Heaven governs. The heart is Mingtang, the king of the big stars, and the stars before and after are also. Among them, the brightest Antares (Scorpio α star), also known as the Great Mars, is also the seventh month of the Flowing Fire, which is the symbol of the Emperor of Heaven ......"
"And the glowing star (Mars), with its glow like fire, and the whereabouts are complex, unpredictable, sometimes east and west, sometimes hidden and sometimes appearing, uneven speed and slowness, confusing, so it is called 'glowing confusion'. The Tianguan Star Diviner thinks that the main war is chaotic, and its divination is related to disasters such as soldiers, mourning, famine, and epidemics, and it is a military disaster! ”
"Confusion is an ominous sign, and wandering in the vicinity of the heart is called Shou."
Glowing and Antares are the two reddest celestial bodies in the whole day, and if the two "fires" meet, the twin stars will be full of red light, which is a precursor to a major catastrophe and is also one of the most sinister celestial phenomena in the opinion of the heavenly officials.
But even when Fan Zeng talked about this, Huan Chu still scratched his head, and didn't understand too much, isn't it just that two stars are close? What's the big deal?
Fan Zeng had no choice but to make a direct analogy: "The heart is a symbol of the First Emperor of Qin and the official government of the Qin State, and if the Ying Chao offends its realm, it means that something big will happen to the Qin State!" The lord changes his government, the lord goes to his palace, Qin Shi Huangdi, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of death, and the Qin country will also be in chaos! ”
"Can this be taken seriously?" Huan Chu will be skeptical, and he will not agree with the fact that celestial phenomena determine the rise and fall of a country.
Fan Zeng also calmed down, stroked his beard that was blown by the wind and said: "Things are man-made, but at this time of endless battles and chaos and fatigue, the celestial phenomenon of Yingfu Shouxin has reappeared in the world, and the world will definitely move people's hearts." Presumably at this moment, not only the remnants of the Six Kingdoms rushed to tell each other, but the Qin court was also in chaos, right? Some people will take the opportunity to assassinate Qin Shi Huangdi, and more people will probably start to speculate about who will cause trouble to Qin's Yingxing ......"
For example, red, that is the color of Chu, they can completely proclaim, this astrological sign, should be in Chu, just like the prophecy said, although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!
As far as Fan Zeng knew, the earliest celestial phenomenon of the Luminous Confusion and Guarding the Heart appeared during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou. Accompanied by the out-of-phase, there is also the nursery rhyme of "the sun will rise, the moon will not be gone, the arc is tired of the clothes, and the Zhou State will die", which means that the person who sells the bow and arrow made of mulberry wood is the one who destroys the Zhou State.
The world is a nursery rhyme, and the king of Zhou Xuan is terrified, and he hunts down the bow-maker in the national capital. As a result, when a couple who did this line fled, they picked up the "demon son" abandoned by the people of the Zhou Palace, took it to Baoguo, named Baoxi, and came to King Zhou Li to attack Baoguo, and Baoxi was dedicated to the Zhou Dynasty......
It is said that Bao Xi was transformed by Ying's confusion, which led to the military disaster of King Zhou Li, and the Hehe Zong Zhou was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Fan Zeng finally straightened out his beard, raised his head and smiled: "And this time, who will the Luminous Star of the Dead Qin be?" ”
"Of course it's me!"
A neutral voice sounded behind the two of them, but they came here with the light heroes and water thieves who had practiced for a day, bathed in the cold lake water.
The young man was eight feet two inches tall, with a bare head, eyebrows like swords, and a beard, and he looked older than he actually was twenty-two years old. He can carry the tripod with great strength, and his sharpness is outstanding, even if it is Huan Chu who licks blood on the knife edge, he must be a little afraid and dare not fight against him.
And the most special thing is its eyes, which are rare double pupils in the world!
Fan Zeng knew the reason, when Xiang Yan's eldest son gave birth to this child, because of his different pupils and face, he kept it secret.
At that time, it was a period of tension between the Xiang family and the king of Chu, and there were rumors that "Xiang's grandson will be the king of Chu", wanting to separate Xiang Yan from Xiang Yan, so Xiang Yu was raised in the Xia Xiang Manor since he was a child, and his family regarded him as a baby, but outsiders rarely saw him. Because of this, Xiang Liang was able to let Xiang Zhuang Li Dai Tao stiff and pretend to be Xiang Ji to take him to Guanzhong without being discovered.
Who would have thought that this son would become Xiang's last hope.
Xiang Ji came to the lake, and a pair of heavy eyes stared at the two competing red stars in the sky for a long time: "Father, what do you say about this star?" ”
Fan Zeng said: "The main war is chaotic, and its occupation is related to soldiers, mourning, famine, epidemics, etc. ”
Xiang Ji clenched the halberd in his hand: "Soldiers, slaughters, exterminations, funerals, and corpses, these were all brought to the Chu State by the Qin people ten years ago. One day, Ji Yi should bring the war to Guanzhong and Xianyang, and return these things to Qin State and Zhao Zheng ten times and a hundred times! ”
His eldest father was killed by Wang Qian, the family died in the war is unknown, his own father also died at the hands of the Qin army, the most beloved middle father was forced to migrate into the customs, and now life and death are unknown, even the family manor of the prime minister was also raided and burned by the Qin army, and the Xiang family, which lasted for hundreds of years, was almost wiped out......
The resentment between Xiang Ji and Qin can only be expressed in terms of "national hatred and family hatred", like a dead knot, which can only be quelled if one of them completely dies out.
"I'm the Glowing Star!"
Xiang Yu raised his halberd and pointed to the brightest Heavenly Emperor Star in his heart, imagining it as his enemy, Qin Shi Huang. In the heavy eyes, it seems that there is also a red glow of fire!
"Not only to invade its palace, its temple, its clan, and its country, but also to replace it! Be the overlord of this world! ”
