Since Xiang's uncle and nephew came to serve in the county, the county guard was very happy. One day, he discussed with Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu: "Chen Sheng rebelled, and the world responded, it seems that God is going to destroy the Qin State." Now that Xiang's uncle and nephew have been used by me, and they are the hero Xiang Yan, I want to worship Xiang Liang as a general to raise an army against Qin, what do you think? Ji Bu and Zhong Li said: "Xiang Liang is wise, and Xiang Yu is brave, if something happens, the people will definitely respond." After listening to the words of the two, the county guard immediately sent someone to invite Xiang Liang to come to discuss the matter.

Xiang Liang heard that the county guard had been invited, so he said to Xiang Yu: "The county guard invited me, it must be for the purpose of raising troops, our opportunity has finally come!" Xiang Liang followed the official to the county government. The county guard himself came out to greet him. Everyone came to the hall and sat down. The county guard first praised Xiang Yu a few words, and then said: "When today, the heroes are everywhere, it seems that the sky is going to die Qin, and its momentum is irresistible!" I've heard that the first striker is a hundred times stronger than the last-striker. If we don't have troops, there will definitely be people in Jiangdong who will raise troops. You are the queen of the gate, I want to worship you as a general, should Chu uprising, I don't know what the respect is? As soon as Xiang Liang heard that it was really for the sake of raising troops, he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "I, Xiang Liang, have long hated the tyranny of Qin, and I am willing to obey the arrangements of the adults in everything!" Seeing that he hit it off with Xiang Liang, the county shou said very happily: "If Xiang Gong is in command, his nephew can serve as a cavalry general together with Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu." But now there is a lack of two infantry generals. I've heard that there are two other people in Koto who are brave men, and it would be great if they came to serve as infantry generals, but unfortunately I don't know where they are hiding? Xiang Liang said: "The adults are talking about Huan Chu and Yu Ying, right?" The county guard said: "Exactly." They used to be against the government and couldn't catch them, but now if they want to raise troops against Qin, they should be summoned to discuss major matters. Xiang Liang was overjoyed and said: "You are so right, my nephew Xiang Yu knows where they are, if Xiang Yu is invited, the two of them will definitely come." The county guard was overjoyed, so he said decisively: "You bring Xiang Xiang here tomorrow, and I will explain this task to him face to face." If Huan Chu and Yu Ying arrive, I will immediately raise troops. Xiang Liang happily agreed, but the corners of his mouth revealed a strange smile that was not easy to detect.

Xiang Liang came out of the county government, and Xiang Yu was waiting at the door for a long time. And they returned to their homes. Xiang Yu asked Xiang Liang: "Uncle, what do you have to tell the county guard?" Xiang Liang said excitedly: "Nephew, the opportunity we have been waiting for has finally come, and now we can avenge your grandfather and your father!" Xiang Liang told Xiang Yu that the county guard was going to prepare for an uprising. Xiang Yu asked how to act. Xiang Liang led him to a place he had never been to before.

It turned out to be a secret room, and there were dozens of people in the secret room. Xiang Yu glanced at it, some of them knew, some didn't, and Sammu was also there. When the two came to the hall, Xiang Yu found that there were portraits of two people in the middle, with the names of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, and the general Xiang Chao, which turned out to be the portraits of his grandfather and father. There are also sacrificial items such as black oxen on the sacrificial table. Xiang Yu didn't know what his uncle was going to do, but he had already seen that his uncle often came here and was still worshipping his grandfather and father. But what made him wonder was why his uncle had never brought him here. The people inside were all weird, their expressions were very cold, and they all looked unusually serious and serious. Xiang Yu was wondering. Xiang Liang pulled him to kneel in front of the statue of his grandfather. The people behind also knelt down in unison. Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yu: "This is your grandfather Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, this Xiang Chao is your father, my eldest brother." You are the eldest grandson of our Xiang family, but it's a pity that your grandfather and your father are ......" Xiang Liang said this, he couldn't control his emotions, and tears were already raining down.

After a while, Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yan's portrait: "My father is above, I am not a good generation, and I still can't avenge you!" I remember that more than ten years ago, the Qin general Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack the Chu State, you and your brother fought bravely to defend the country, and finally died in defeat. Although we survived, everyone was reduced to slavery! Ying Zheng almost killed us, and your grandson Xiang Yu and I moved several times, wandered around, and hid everywhere, and finally escaped arrest again and again, and survived. Over the years, I have never dared to forget the national hatred and family hatred! Whenever I think of that unforgettable disaster of losing the country, I often sigh and sigh. In order to wait for the opportunity, our uncle and nephew endured the humiliation and burden, sent people under the fence, and waited patiently, for which we disappeared for many years, and now it is finally time to raise the army. Over the years, I have secretly made friends with many people with lofty ideals, the old department of the Chu State, they are all heroes and heroes who are unwilling to be slaves to the country, and they have a common enmity with the Qin State! When Xiang Liang said the last sentence, he almost gritted his teeth with hatred.

Suddenly, a sharp flash slid down from the sky, cracking the stone door of the secret room, followed by an earth-shattering roar. It was a bolt of lightning that shone through the heavens, and it plunged straight into the secret room like a sharp sword, and illuminated the secret room as if it were day. The strange faces of those dozens of people were as white as paper by this electric light, as if dozens of devils were staying in this mysterious and dark dungeon. Xiang Yu was also shocked when he saw this scene. But when these people saw this lightning and heard the huge thunder of the Heaven-Shaking Steps, they were indifferent and squatted there without moving. Xiang Yu was shocked, thinking to himself, could it be that God wants everyone to take revenge? Is this the voice of vengeance from above? When he slowly calmed down from the shock, Xiang Liang shouted, "Look, this is the omen of the heavens that Qin is going to die!" The dozens of strange people behind him said in unison: "The Qin State will die!" The state of Qin will fall! ......" voice was dull and eerie. Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yu: "They are all people with lofty ideals who I have secretly contacted over the years, now please swear together!" After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he first got up and lit the incense candles, and then picked up a bowl of wine dripping with the blood of livestock. At this time, someone had already poured dozens of bowls of such blood wine, and everyone took it together and swore together: "Although we come from different places, we are all Chu people, and today we swear to the heroic spirit of General Xiang Yan: We are willing to work with one heart and one mind to fight against Qin, if there are two hearts, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" May the spirit of General Xiang in heaven bless us to eradicate the tyrannical Qin and rejuvenate the Chu State! The tenors of dozens of people let out a deafening hum that almost shook the roof of the chamber. After taking the oath, everyone drank the blood wine.

At this moment, the young Xiang Yu suddenly realized how big the resentment of his uncle and everyone was, and how deep the pain of losing the country was. When the Qin army came more than ten years ago, although Xiang Yu was still a twelve-year-old boy, he didn't know much about the disasters and the destruction of his family, but he had personally experienced the battle of life and death, and that scene was really vivid! His ears seemed to sound the sound of the Chu army and the Qin army fighting hoarsely, and the atrocities of the Qin soldiers killing the Chu army also emerged in front of him, which will be an indelible eternal memory left in the depths of Xiang Yu's soul when he was a child. At this time, Xiang Yu couldn't help but tremble, he suddenly had a dazed mind, trembling all over, the anger in his heart was also ignited, and the seeds of hatred began to sprout, so that when he and his uncle met the First Emperor in Wu County, he issued the heroic words of hatred 'He can take his place', and at this time it suddenly flashed in his mind, great pain and flaming anger almost made them all mad. Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and asked Xiang Liang: "Uncle, what do you say you should do now?" Xiang Liang said: "Tomorrow, the county guard wants to see you." Xiang Yu asked what he was doing. Xiang Liang said: "He wants you to summon Huan Chu and Yu Ying, two strong men, and tomorrow he will tell you about this matter in person." Xiang Yu said, "Okay, I do know where they are." ”

At this time, Sammu was beside him, and he stepped forward and said calmly: "Since ancient times, to achieve great things, we must set up our own banner and be alone." Although the county guard Yin Tong is virtuous and benevolent, he is an official of the Qin State, and he has offended a lot of ordinary people according to the Qin law. It would not be worth it to thwart the uprising for this reason! Therefore, before the incident, kill the county guard, so as not to have any constraints in the future, and all of us are willing to obey the command of Xiang Gong alone! When everyone heard this, they all resolutely supported Xiang Liang as the commander-in-chief, and did not allow the officials of the Qin State to interfere in the uprising ranks. Xiang Liang said: "What you said is exactly what I want. He said decisively to Xiang Yu: "Tomorrow, when you enter the county guard, look at my eyes, kill Yin Tong in the county hall, and we will raise troops in the name of your grandfather, and the people will definitely support it!" If things go well, first pacify Jiangdong, and then cross the river to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army! Xiang Yu agreed impassionedly. Sammu said to Xiang Yu excitedly: "Childe, if you kill the county guard tomorrow, his subordinates will definitely not be convinced, you have to give them a dismount!" Xiang Yu said decisively: "Understood!" ”

Xiang Liang led Xiang Yu to another basement, where he was privately minting Qin coins and building weapons. Xiang Yu was very shocked when he saw it, so he asked his uncle why he didn't let him know about these things. Xiang Liang said: "Everything must be prepared in advance, which is a necessary condition for achieving great things." Since the uprising of King Zhang Chu, I have started to act, you see that so many weapons have been made. Xiang Yu looked at the neatly placed spears and halberds, and secretly admired his uncle's style of doing things. Xiang Liang said again: "You are aggressive by nature, lack patience and suffering, just like when you saw Yingzheng driving in Wu County before, you almost caused a big accident, so my uncle only let you concentrate on martial arts, as for these things, you can't help me if you know them, so I didn't tell you." When Xiang Yu heard this, he admired and said in surprise: "Uncle, you secretly raise dead soldiers, and you do this thing so carefully in advance, it is really well-intentioned!" Xiang Liang continued: "Since ancient times, when great things have been achieved, we should plan first and then act. You are still young, and you should exercise more in this area. When you see the county punctual tomorrow, you must act quickly and act quickly! Xiang Yu said very confidently: "Please rest assured, uncle!" ”

Early the next morning, Xiang Liang first asked Sammu and others to go outside to call on people and horses to do a good job of responding to the outside, and then led Xiang Yu to see the county guard, and the two came to the door of the lobby with swords. When the county guard heard that Xiang Liang had led Xiang Yu to come, he sent an order to meet him. Xiang's uncle and nephew entered the lobby and stood proudly. Seeing that they were neatly dressed and lofty, the county shou Yin Tong was very happy in his heart, so he let them sit down and talk. Xiang Liang said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, you can convey the order, right?" The county guard was very happy, so he asked Xiang Yu: "Where is the black chick?" Xiang Yu said: "It's at the door of the mansion." The county guard said: "It's a thousand-mile horse, you ride it and do something for me first, go and come back quickly." Xiang Yu said categorically: "Please command?" The county guard said: "I heard that Huan Chu and Yu Ying are famous strong men in Jiangdong, and now I don't know where to hide, I want to summon them for reuse, do you know where they are hiding?" Xiang Yu replied loudly: "Just fall into the grass in the Tu Mountain in Jiujiang County." The county guard said: "You call the two of you now, and we will raise troops!" Xiang Yu said: "This thing is so easy to do!" Seeing Xiang Yu's full of promise, the county guard exclaimed: "Xiang Gongzi is really a young hero, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future!" Xiang Liang said disapprerovingly: "A stupid talent is not worthy of praise." Then he turned back to Xiang Yu and said, "You can act!" Xiang Yu suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed at Yin Tong and scolded: "As an official of the Qin State, how dare you go against Qin and make trouble?" What a disloyal and unrighteous man! My Xiang family has a common enmity with the Qin State, and we are anti-Qin, as it should be! Kill you today to warn those disloyal and unrighteous rebels! With that, he rushed forward and swung his sword. Yin Tong was stunned for a long time, and before he could react to what was going on, his head had already rolled to the ground, and the blood from his neck spurted straight to the roof. There is a poem in the past that sighed:

If you want to achieve a great cause, it is difficult to have courage and virtue.

A sword dares to wield a virtuous guard, and the first is too ferocious.

Xiang Liang saw that Yin Tong was dead, so he immediately took the big seal of the county guard and hung it on himself. Xiang Yu cut off Yin Tong's head again and held it in his hand. At this time, someone shouted: "Xiang Yu killed the county guard, catch him!" At this time, a large group of officials swarmed in and surrounded Xiang's uncles and nephews. When the officials saw that the county guard was dead, they slashed at each other with swords and swords. Xiang Yu immediately swung his sword at each other, and only half of the skills he had learned in his life were displayed, and his head was already rolling in the hall, and the corpses were in disarray. Xiang Liang also swung his sword and slashed, and the two of them slashed from the lobby to the outside, and hundreds of people had already died under the swords of the two. When the officials saw that Xiang Yu was unstoppable, and cutting people was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, they were all shocked, so they retreated again and again, and some people didn't even dare to look up at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Liang saw that everyone didn't dare to make a move, so he walked up the steps and said loudly: "Now that the heroes of the world have risen up to rebel, why is Jiangdong so calm?" Yin Tong was an official of the Qin State, how could he be the commander of the Chu army? That's why I killed him! As soon as the words fell, I saw four big men rushing from outside, they were the county supervisor Ji Bu, the county lieutenant Zhong Lifu, and Ji Bu's brother Ji Xin and cousin Ding Gong. The four of them were training on the orders of the county guard, and suddenly heard that something had happened, so they hurried over. When the four of them entered the mansion, they were very angry when they saw corpses everywhere, and Ji Bu shouted: "It is not the righteous to enter the state and kill its master, and to seize its seal and kill the innocent!" Although Lord County is an official of the Qin State, he is a good man, why did you kill him? After that, they drew their swords together to cut Xiang Yu. Seeing this, Xiang Liang shouted and stopped, and said: "Yin Tong is an official of the Qin State, and his rebellion is disloyal, so kill him to warn those who are disloyal and unjust!" When the four of them heard this, they first put away their weapons. Xiang Liang said again: "Ladies and nephews, you are all heroes of Wuzhong!" Don't you know that all the people in the world have rebelled against Qin? The heroes of the various counties have killed their superiors and revolted, why do you still obey the orders of the officials of the Qin State? Could it be that you have forgotten the shame of the great war between Chu and Qin more than ten years ago? Is it okay to forget the matter of King Chu Huai's death in the Qin State? My father Xiang Yan died in Qi County, and this national revenge will not be avenged? If you are willing to be slaves of the country, then leave here, we are all Chu people, and we will not surrender to the Qin State! Xiang Liang's words moved everyone, and Zhong Liwu said: "Ying Chu should return to Ying Chu, but you can't kill innocents indiscriminately?" Xiang Liang laughed and said: "For Yin Tong, it is a traitor, but for us Chu people, it is a righteous act." Now we have to do a big thing, killing people is inevitable! I also hope that all the virtuous nephews will recognize the situation and rely on loyalty and righteousness to carry out great things? At this moment, Shenmu had already rushed to the gate of the county government with more than 1,000 people, they surrounded the gate of the mansion, and shouted: "Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu are the descendants of Xiang Yan, and we Chu people are willing to obey their orders!" Now raise an army against Qin, if there is anyone who does not obey, there will be no forgiveness! Seeing that Xiang Liang had been prepared, the four heroes didn't know what to do. Xiang Liang walked down the steps, and said to Zhong Liwu and the others in a soothing tone: "Please give priority to the revival of the Chu State, and don't bother with the matter of the county guard, we should unite to raise troops and join the great cause together!" Only then did the four put down their weapons, bowed down at Xiang Liang's feet, and then said in unison: "We are willing to obey Xiang Gong's orders!" When the rest of the officials saw this, they also bowed to the ground, and they also said in unison: "I am willing to obey Xiang Gong's orders!" ”

Seeing this, Xiang Liang was overjoyed, so he invited everyone to come to the council hall to discuss things. In a few words, everyone supported Liang as the general of Chu and concurrently served as the county guard of Huiji. Xiang Liang was overjoyed, so he immediately appointed Sammu as the county commander and marching Sima, Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu continued to serve as the county supervisor and county lieutenant, and together with Xiang Yu served as the general who led the troops, Ji Xin and Ding Gong served as the left and right captains. Xiang Liang wrote a proclamation to the whole city, and then recruited troops. Xiang Liang also gave Xiang Yu a 200-pound gold-handled iron halberd, which was called 'Chisel Jin Anbang Dingguo Megatron Swallowing Moon Halberd', the handle was more than a zhang long, and two green dragons were engraved on the halberd. Xiang Yu had a handy weapon, and said with great joy in his heart: "I will ride a black horse and hold the dragon swallowing moon halberd, and I will be able to dominate the world." As soon as this news spread, the entire Huiji County exploded. The people of Wuzhong heard that Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Yan, had raised troops in Wu County, so they came to join the army one after another.
