Chapter 111: Xiang Yu Surrenders Maxima

The rich Jiangnan has been full of heroes and celebrities since ancient times. In Wu County, the county capital of Huiji County, there lived a family surnamed Yu, and the old man's name was Yu Yigong, who was a wealthy businessman. Their ancestral home is Siwuyi, Xiapi County, Donghai County, which is today's Yanji Town, Shuyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. Because the Yu family was fleeing the war, they came to settle in Wu County in Huiji County. Yu Yigong has a daughter named Yu Ji, who is beautiful and known as the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. Yu Ji is seventeen years old this year, and she is the pearl of her parents' palms, because she is as beautiful as a flower, the young men in Wu Di want to marry her, so some sons and sisters try their best to get close to Yu Yigong. However, most of these people are some gentlemen, and they don't like Yu Yigong at all, let alone Yu Ji.

Yu Yigong is very rich, once bought a horse from other places, this horse is much taller than ordinary horses, especially special is that the horse's whole body is black as if it has been painted with black paint, without a single miscellaneous hair, so people call it sunspot. Because of the violent temperament and infinite strength, ordinary people dare not approach at all, so no one dares to wear a bridle and a stirrup. On the night that Yu Yigong bought the sunspot back, he actually killed all the horses in the same stable. The next day, Yu Yigong saw the scene in the stable, he was so angry that he trembled, and because the sunspot ate a lot of food, Yu Yigong didn't plan to ask for it anymore, but he never met a suitable seller.

At this time, the news of Chen Sheng's uprising had spread all over the north and south of the river, and the county shou Yin Tong saw that all parts of Shandong had revolted, and their south had also broken away from the jurisdiction of Qin, and they also wanted to respond to Zhang Chu's uprising. After he had this idea, he wanted to recruit some war horses to form a team, so he posted a notice in the city to buy a famous horse. When Yu Yigong heard the news, he was ready to sell the sunspot to the county. On this day, he sent someone to lead the sunspot out of the door, and walked towards the yamen of the county government. But what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Kuroko went out, he tore off the reins and ran wildly on the street, hurting many people. The citizens were terrified, and hid as if they had seen a tiger. Someone reported the news to the county guard, and the county guard hurriedly sent an official to lower the horse. But as soon as a few officials approached, the sunspot kicked and bitten, and he couldn't get close at all. The official was ready to shoot it with an arrow. At this time, the county keeper also arrived, and he saw at a glance that it was a thousand-mile horse, so he decisively ordered: "You can only catch it, but you must not hurt it, and those who violate the order will be killed!" "I commanded everyone, and with great effort, I put the sunspot in a stable next to the mansion. This stable was a large stable used by the county guard to form a cavalry team, and the county guard knew that Kuroko would hurt other horses, so he locked it up alone. According to Qin law, if a domestic animal damages someone else's property or harms another person's life, the owner of the horse must be punished and compensated. The county guard sent someone to arrest Yu Yigong.

This county guard was very smart, because he remembered that if he rebelled against Qin, he had to find someone who knew military affairs to serve as a general. At this time, he had also heard the name of Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, especially the rumors that Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Yu had the ability to be invincible, but he didn't know their true situation. The county guard thought about it, so he prepared to use the name of descending the horse to see if Xiang Yu was worthy of his name. After thinking about it, he wrote a notice about the hurt things of the sunspot, and also played it up in a big way, saying that this horse is very fierce, and it is set to drop the horse in the stable in front of the county government on a certain day in a certain month, and if the horse can be subdued, the county guard will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and he will be promoted to a general. As soon as the notice came out, the whole city was boiling, and people were talking about Kuroko.

After Yu Yigong was arrested, the Yu family panicked. The son Yuzi period, in his early twenties this year, is cautious and cautious, and he is a filial son. Seeing that his father was arrested, he discussed with the whole family how to rescue him. At this time, someone suggested going to Xiang Liang for help. It turned out that Xiang Liang often arranged weddings and funerals for people in Wu County, and he liked to make friends with local heroes, so he was very famous in the city, so anyone in Wu County would go to him for help if they encountered something that could not be solved. Yu Ziqi came to Xiang Liang's house and told him what had happened, and said that his father had been arrested by the county guard and asked Xiang Liang to find a way to rescue him. Xiang Liang agreed after hearing this.

After Yu Ziqi left, Xiang Liang found a very important person, this person is the head of the Xiang family's family - Sammu. Sammu is a little older than Xiang Liang, and he has been following Xiang Liang for a long time, and he has fled with Xiang Liang since the fall of the Chu State. Later, he came to live in the lower phase. fled from the next prime minister to Wu County. Sammu is loyal to the Xiang family, and he is the same character as Cheng Ying in the "Zhao Orphan", and he is also the most critical person in the Xiang family's plot against Qin and Chu. On this day, he said to Xiang Liang: "This horse is a good opportunity for your Xiang family to establish a big name, and when the day of the horse surrender comes, you will let Yu'er surrender the horse, and the county guard will hand over important matters in the county to your Xiang family to handle." Sammu gave Xiang Liang another analysis, saying that the county guard must have already had the idea of raising troops. When Xiang Liang heard this, he was very happy, so he called Xiang Yu and told him about the horse lowering. Xiang Yu heard that he was going to drop the horse, and felt that the profession was very suitable, so he readily agreed.

On the day of the horse drop, Xiang Liang came to the stable in front of the county government with Xiang Yu, Yu Ziqi and others. The people of the county came to watch, and many people gathered for a while. At this time, the county guard also led a group of officials out, and they came to the stable not far away, and watched the horse descent event together. Xiang Liang and the others also came to the stable, and before they got closer, they had already heard the neighing of the sunspot, and the sound was amazingly loud. Xiang Yu approached the fence and found that the horse was circling the stable, and the momentum was indeed extraordinary. After a closer look, I saw that Kuroko's whole body was indeed as black as coal, his mane was three feet long, his ears were as sharp as bamboo leaves, his pupils were as bright as hanging Ling's eyes, and his eyes were shining like purple flames. Xiang Yu thought to himself: I once encountered a tiger when hunting, and now I look at this horse, which is much stronger than the tiger, and I can't help but admire: "This is a thousand miles of horse!" ”

At this moment, many teenagers in the county were watching around the fence, and suddenly a teenager came out of the boss and shouted: "Let me come first!" So saying, he jumped into the stable. Xiang Yu saw that someone had taken the lead, and he also stood aside to watch. I saw the young man slowly walking from behind Kuroko, strange to say, this short-tempered guy saw the stranger today, but he didn't have the slightest resistance, and stood there motionless. The boy was so happy that he jumped on the horse. But now it was terrible, and the black horse was frightened, and even jumped forward and kicked backwards, and in a few strokes threw the boy to the ground. The boy hurriedly got up and ran towards the fence, but Kuroko chased after him with his mouth open, and the boy had to exclaim, "Help! The accomplices came together to pull him out of the fence and nearly lose his life, an embarrassing act that made the onlookers laugh.

Before the laughter stopped, another menacing man came out, and without saying a word, he jumped straight into the stable. But at this time, the sunspot was like seeing an enemy, and pounced with his mouth open. The boy tried to jump on the horse, but Kuroko had already pounced, so he hurriedly dodged. In the process, the man wanted to see the opportunity to catch Kuroko's mane, but he couldn't catch it for a long time, so the man had to turn around and run away in a hurry. But before he could run to the gate, Kuroko had already caught up and trampled him to the ground, and the man's life hung by a thread. At this critical juncture, Xiang Yu let out a tiger and leopard roar, and then jumped into the stable. The sunspot seemed to be intimidated, not only did not dare to move forward, but also retreated vigorously. Xiang Yu rescued the man and dragged him out of the door. When the onlookers saw this scene, they focused all their eyes on Xiang Yu.

Heizi saw that Xiang Yu seemed to be scared, and he didn't dare to step forward except for retreating. But Xiang Yu rolled up his sleeves and stepped in front of him in a few steps, grabbed the long mane of the sunspot, and pushed the sunspot to the ground with force, and then rode on it. Xiang Yu grabbed the horse's ears with one hand at this time, picked the horse's eyes with the other, and pressed it harder, and the horse snapped its nose in pain, and then crawled there motionless. Xiang Yu jumped up, dragged the sunspot up, and then stroked the body with his hand at will, it was as if it had seen its master, bowing its head and letting Xiang Yu touch and manipulate, it looked very docile, and wiped Xiang Yu's body with his cheeks from time to time. Xiang Yu was very happy, so he slowly loaded the stirrup sleeve and bridle for the sunspot, and then asked for another whip, then rode on the sunspot, and shouted: "Scatter and dodge!" The people quickly got out of the way. Xiang Yu took a few steps back, and then rushed forward, and the sunspot jumped out of the fence in one leap, and then ran out of the city. When the people saw this, they cheered together, and by the time everyone left the city again, the sunspot had already disappeared without a trace, and there was only a hanging dust in front of them.

At this time, the county guard asked who the horse descender was, and someone replied: "He is Xiang Liang's nephew Xiang Yu." The county guard was shocked and met Xiang Liang in the crowd. Jun Shoudao: "I have heard of your name for a long time, it is really thunderous, and I am fortunate to meet you today, which is a great relief in my life!" Xiang Liang also said: "My lord's reputation, I heard that there are fierce horses hurting people, so I led my nephew to watch together, I don't want him to have so many times, and please take more care of my lord!" The county guard was overjoyed and said: "I heard that you are the son of Xiang Yan, and there is such a heroic nephew, it's really late to see each other!" At this time, many people had gathered at the gate of the city, and people wanted to see Xiang Yu's demeanor. Just when the county guard was talking to Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu had already returned from his horse. The county guard and Xiang Liang greeted Xiang Yu together.

When Xiang Yu approached the gate of the city, he saw that there were many people gathered, so he dismounted in advance, and then touched the neck of the sunspot in front of everyone, and patted his back again, before coming to the county guard and his uncle to say hello. The county guard looked at this feather happily, and saw that his eyes were heavy, his eyebrows were thick, his posture was magnificent, and his instrument was magnificent, so he was very surprised and exclaimed: "Today I finally saw the legendary hero with my own eyes!" He asked where Xiang Yu had just been. Xiang Yu replied: "This horse ran like a Huang Qi jumping in the water, and he ran to Lou County in one breath, and then came back from Lou County." The county guard was taken aback and said in surprise: "Here is forty or fifty miles away from Lou County, and there are nearly a hundred miles back and forth, and it only takes half an hour to come back, what a thousand miles of horse!" "There is a poem in the past:

Huma is famous, sharp and skinny. The bamboo batch has both ears, and the wind is light into the four hooves.

There is no space in the direction, and it is really worthy of life and death. Xiaoteng has this, thousands of miles can be rampant.

After the county guard praised it, he immediately ordered the left and right to bring the prepared 100 gold and said to Xiang Yu: "This is a bounty, please accept it with a smile." Xiang Yu took the opportunity to say: "Please let Yu Yigong, who sacrificed the horse, go, and then compensate all the money to the injured people, I won't take a penny." Seeing that Xiang Yu was really righteous, the county guard happily agreed to his request, and immediately ordered Yu Yigong to be released, and then let the left and right take the hundred gold to the city to compensate for the losses of the people. When Yu Ziqi heard that his father was saved, he happily followed the official messenger to pick up his father and go home. At this time, the officials in the county all congratulated Xiang Yu together, and there were two of them, one was the county supervisor Ji Bu, who was very popular, because he was very trustworthy, and promised others that he would do it in a while, so people said that he was 'a thousand gold is difficult to change Ji Bunuo'; the other was the county lieutenant Zhong Liwu, who had a bronze face, a tall and strong figure like an iron tower, leopard eyes and tiger whiskers, very majestic, and both of them were about thirty years old. When it comes to martial arts, the two of them are among the best, but the county guard didn't let them go to the horse, just to make Xiang Yu stand out.

Seeing that the scene was very lively at this time, the county guard said happily: "I finally got a thousand-mile horse today!" Xiang Liang said: "My lord got two thousand-mile horses today!" The county guard pretended to be surprised and said, "How can you say this?" Xiang Liang said tentatively: "Now that the world is in turmoil, the heroes are everywhere, and adults can gallop across the field with this BMW, which is the first thing worth celebrating; If you get my Maxima again, you will be able to dominate the world, so I say you have two Maxima! When the county guard heard this, he also understood what Xiang Liang meant, and thought that he was about to rely on Xiang's uncle and nephew to achieve great things, so he said happily: "Xiang Gong can temporarily serve as my staff, and he will be reused in the future, I don't know what his respect is?" Xiang Liang also said happily: "It is my long-cherished wish to serve adults, and Liang is also willing to do it!" The county guard was overjoyed, so he turned to Xiang Yu and said, "I said in advance that whoever can get this horse will be the general lieutenant, and now I will appoint you as the commander of Wu County." Xiang Yu listened to the words of the county guard, and was naturally full of joy. The county guard said: "As the saying goes, 'BMW with heroes' can be described as a perfect match. Maxima is of little use to my father, and now I give it to you, and I hope you will ride it and gallop the world! Xiang Liang hurriedly asked Xiang Yu to bow down to Lord Xie Junshou. Xiang Yu bowed deeply to the ground.
