Chapter 7: To the Central Plains 1
Hua Long had no choice: "That's it, I drank too much yesterday, and I'll discuss it with Brother Xiang tonight, anyway, I won't set off until tomorrow, and I still have one day to go tomorrow, so let's learn basic self-defense skills with Brother Xiang now." ”
A few more people said, "Okay, Brother Xiang, Brother Hua, you must take us." ”
Everyone practiced for less than an hour, and suddenly more than 20 people came over, and when they looked at their clothes, they knew that they were those soldiers from yesterday, they walked a few meters away in front of Xiang Yu, and they all knelt down, one of them said to Xiang Yu: "Hero, you accept us, we all decided to follow you, we are all homeless people, after burying our dead chief yesterday afternoon, we stayed, because it was almost dark, I didn't come to disturb you, today I came to ask the hero to take us in, after seeing your shot yesterday, I don't want to join the army anymore and follow others. ”
Xiang Yu looked at Hua Long, his eyes turned to them, meaning to ask him to deal with it.
Hua Long stepped forward and said: "Brothers, everyone get up, let's do it, since everyone wants to go with my big brother Xiang, come with us in the past two days, learn some skills from Brother Xiang, I asked the village chief to arrange your food and accommodation, and early the day after tomorrow, we will meet at the entrance of the village." ”
The gang shouted happily, "Thank you, Hero Xiang!" Thank you Xiang Hero! "Then they all practiced together.
After dinner in the evening, Hua Long asked Xiang Yu how to arrange these people, and Xiang Yu said, everything is up to you. Hua Long said to Chen Sheng, you go and call the village chief, and I will discuss something with him. Less than a few minutes after Chen Sheng went out, he ran back and said that the village chief had brought a group of people over.
After a while, the village chief brought 12 people, 6 teenagers, 4 men and 2 women, and the other 6 were presumably their parents.
The village chief said directly: "Two heroes, you can bring these 6 young people, their parents are here, and they all agree." ”
Hua Long said to everyone: "It's not that we don't bring it, what we do is a life of licking blood from the knife edge, it's too dangerous, in case you lose your life, I'm sorry for you." ”
The village chief said: "We all know this, in the current society, where is not dangerous, if it wasn't for you yesterday, we would have no dozens of people here, and if you don't take it, you may be drawn to the army next year, it's not the same." ”
"Yes, yes, my brother went to the army last year, and I don't know if he is dead or alive until now. Take them with you. Chen Sheng said helpfully.
The village chief said: "You also brought these two girls, they are also handsome, and they are more flexible, and after seeing you yesterday, they said that they don't want to get married, and they are willing to follow you, and it doesn't matter if they are cows or horses." ”
The parents of the two girls also said: "Yes, two heroes, our daughter, if you don't take it, in two years, we will get married, and we will also get some dowry money, and we will not care about whether it is good or bad in the future, and besides, we can get some of the weapons and horses you gave yesterday, and we will not lose anything." These two girls, you can see it, you can marry and be a concubine, if you don't like it, let them be a girl, and you may have glory and wealth to enjoy. ”
Hua Long thought: It's all said about this, I don't agree, it seems that I still don't want to help them, "In this case, let's bring it, but the village chief, let's discuss something with you, those horses, a total of 24, 1 died, we want 4 horses, and 19 horses, you ask someone to sell 5 horses tomorrow, and get two ordinary carriages, and give me the rest of the money, I will give these 6 families a little more, and we will also take away the more than 20 soldiers, and we need some travel expenses." ”
The village chief immediately said: "There is no problem with this, I will arrange it early tomorrow morning." After saying that, they hurriedly thanked them again, and went away happily, and when they went out, the young men shouted with joy.
Hualong felt a little lost in his heart, hey, you can be a concubine or a maid, but it's a pity that you didn't come to me, let's sleep in peace.
On the morning of departure, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village, and many people came to see them off.
Hua Long said to everyone: "We go to the Zhou Dynasty this time, a total of 31 people, if we go together, the goal is too big, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, you 22 soldiers, write down your names, and remember the names of me, Brother Xiang, Chen Sheng, you can use it when you meet, each of you come to get some coins, set off in several ways, and when you arrive at the Zhou Dynasty, you will settle down first, and then contact each other." After receiving the coins, the 22 soldiers all set off in groups.
The seven teenagers also said goodbye to their families one by one, and then set off, Xiang Yu Hualong and Chen Sheng rode in front, two women sat in a carriage, a teenager drove and walked in the middle, and the three teenagers behind a carriage were delayed. They all traveled lightly, except for Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng, who each had a sword, and the rest did not bring weapons. Hualong wants to have Xiang Yu here, what other weapons do you need, Xiang Yu alone is equivalent to an army of 1,000 people.
Hua Long said: "Big brother, let's go from Chu State, after Chu State, and then a small country will go to the Zhou Dynasty, go to other countries, you have to go through 7 or 8 small countries, for you, it's no problem to kill all the way, but we can't do it, and then we will pretend to be businessmen, you are the boss, I am the housekeeper, Chen Sheng is a scholar, the 4 are family members, and the two women are Yahuan." ”
Xiang Yu said, "Okay." ”
"Along the way, you have to be patient and don't kill people casually." Hua Long said again.
Xiang Yu: "Okay." ”
When Hualong traveled before, he rode a horse a few times, but the level was not good, and the driving level of those teenagers was also average, they were all learning and driving, Xiang Yu could only wait for them while walking, so the whole team walked slowly. The 4 teenagers are called: Chen Rong, Chen Lichuan, Wu Changfeng, Xia Qi, and the 2 females are: Xia Xueqin, Li Tingting; None of the six were over the age of 18.
Hua Long had already looked at these two girls carefully, they were both slim, but their breasts didn't look very big, they could only be said to be average, and they had long wanted to talk to them, but in front of Xiang Yu, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Along the way, Xiang Yu didn't like to talk much, Hua Long and Chen Sheng walked side by side behind Xiang Yu, the two chatted while walking, Chen Sheng knew that Hua Long was more than 2600 years later, but he didn't know that Xiang Yu was also more than 400 years later, he admired Xiang Yu with a face, and was very curious about Hua Long, and asked Hua Long this and that along the way.
Although everyone admires Xiang Yu very much, Xiang Yu doesn't like to talk much, and when he sees Xiang Yu's killing methods that day, he is somewhat afraid of him, so he asks Hua Long about everything, and he doesn't dare to disturb Xiang Yu casually.
Xiang Yu was thinking about how he failed and why he lost in the hands of Liu Bang along the way, but he summed up one thing, that is: to help and talent, he really can't do everything by himself. Listening to Hualong again, Liu Bang's summary of himself and him is: "In the planning and planning of the husband, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary; Town the country, care for the people, give wages, endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He; Even an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. These three are all masterpieces, I can use them, so I take the world. Xiang Yu has a fan increase and can't use it, so he is captured by me. "Although Liu Bang is a bit of a villain, he can use people, he can use people, he can use them, and he can also use them if he steals chickens and dogs.
They were very low-key along the way, they didn't encounter any trouble, more than 1,000 miles away, more than ten days to arrive, this is still slow, they are all using horses to drive, if they go at full speed, 5 days can be reached.
After arriving at the realm of King Zhou and entering King Zhou's city, everyone found an inn to live in. The next day, Hua Long instructed Chen Sheng and a few of them to find a large courtyard in the middle of nowhere, rent it, and then move in. The two women helped to cook and wash, and Chen Sheng and the five men went to the city during the day, one was to understand the current social dynamics, and the other was to contact the other 22 soldiers, and it was estimated that they should arrive in about 10 days.
Xiang Yu and Hua Long have been thinking about how to get close to King Zhou, and they also want to make King Zhou believe in their strength, and they can't think of any good way for a while, so they have to wait and act at the opportunity.
