In the back house of the Xiang family, Cao Wuyi sat opposite Xiang Liang, there was a small table in the middle, and the incense burner was placed on the small table, and the fragrance was overflowing, and soon, a middle-aged man brought two cups of hot tea, he was a dead man adopted by Xiang Liang, named Xiang Sheng, and had followed Xiang Liang for seven years.

Xiang Sheng put the teacup on the table and said softly: "Liang Gong, Xiang Yu and they ran out again, and they haven't come back yet." ”

Xiang Liang was a little unhappy, and scolded: "There are guests at home, but they ran out, do you want to be angry with me!" ”

Cao Wuyi saw that Xiang Liang was a little angry, and persuaded on the side: "Children are playful, it's not a big deal, Brother Liang, don't care too much." ”

"You're in your twenties, are you still a child?" Xiang Liang shook his head helplessly, looked at Xiang Sheng, and said hatefully: "I'm back, let them come to see me." ”

Xiang Sheng sang a promise and left, the room was quiet for a while, Xiang Liang took a deep breath, the anger in his heart had gradually dissipated, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Wuyi, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, we haven't seen each other for a while." ”

Cao Wuji also took a sip of tea at this time, and said with a smile: "Yes, it has been three years since I came out of the Qin Dynasty, and we have had a lot less contact in the past three years." ”

Cao Wuji put down the teacup, looked at Xiang Liang, and said with a smile: "Recently, the imperial court dispatched Meng Tian to the north to fight against the Huns, sending 300,000 troops, Brother Liang has heard about this?" ”

The Qin Dynasty suddenly sent troops to fight // Attack the Xiongnu? Xiang Liang didn't hear about this news, but raised the teacup again, took a sip, looked at Cao Wuyi, and said in a puzzled tone: "What kind of moth is the First Emperor doing?" ”

Cao Wuyi also laughed mockingly, and said softly: "The First Emperor likes people who cultivate the Tao, I heard that he ordered Lu Sheng to go to the sea to seek immortals, looking for elixir......"

At this point, Cao Wuyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "I didn't get the elixir, but I asked for a book of heaven, which contained the words 'Hu of the Dead Qin'." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Liang was interested, stared at Cao Wuyi, and said with a smile: "I guess, this book must have been forged by Lu Sheng." ”

Both of them smiled knowingly, and at this time, Xiang Liang asked again: "But what does this book of heaven have to do with the Huns?" ”

Cao Wuji saw that Xiang Liang didn't understand it thoroughly, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't the four words 'Hu of the Dead Qin' directly referring to the Huns?" The Xiongnu have always been known as the Hu people, with this book of heaven, can the first emperor not fortify the Huns? ”

"Hahaha" The laughter of the two came from the house, this is simply ridiculous, the first emperor actually because of a book of heaven for no reason, recklessly, sent 300,000 troops to fight // to attack the Huns, since ancient times, the Huns lived in Mobei, came and went without a trace, has been the grassland home, how can the first emperor be easily eliminated? Besides, with an army of 300,000, how much food does this battle cost? Thinking about it, Xiang Liang couldn't help laughing and said, "Although the First Emperor has annexed the Six Kingdoms, can he really sit on the throne?" I think of my Great Chu Country, how prosperous it was in the past, the land is fertile for thousands of miles, and now it is ......"

Speaking of sadness, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh lightly, and shook his head helplessly, but at this time, Xiang Zhuang's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle's words are wrong......

Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yu and others learned that the two were talking, and it was inconvenient to go inside to disturb, so they had to wait outside, and heard them talk about the book of heaven, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but think of the later Hu Hai, this book of heaven, in fact, refers to Hu Hai, not the Huns, on a whim, Xiang Zhuang walked in slowly, and said: "Hu of the dead Qin, is not a sign of the Xiongnu chaos, in fact, he refers to the son Hu Hai, and the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of Hu Hai." ”

Seeing his nephew and others coming back, Xiang Liang straightened his face and reprimanded: "How many of you did you sneak out again?" Don't hurry up and give you Uncle Cao's salute. ”

"I'll wait for Uncle Cao to say goodbye." The crowd bowed down.

Cao Wuyi waved his hand and smiled: "It's all your own people, you're welcome." ”

Everyone stood behind Xiang Liang in turn, leaving Cao Feng standing there alone, she suddenly found that her father's eyes looked at her angrily, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and came behind her father, at this time, Cao Wuyi remembered what Xiang Zhuang said just now, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiang Zhuang's words just now are very insightful, I don't know how to think of it?" ”

Xiang Zhuang saw Cao Wuyi asking, he had to walk out, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Uncle Cao, you can think about it, the Xiongnu are far away in Mobei, and there is the Great Wall to block it, stretching for thousands of miles of fertile mountains, and the Xiongnu have no room to play, why should they give up the vast grassland and come to the Central Plains for development?" What's more, the living habits and water and soil conditions of the Central Plains were not suitable for the life of the Huns. ”

At this time, Cao Wuyi asked again: "But even if the Xiongnu are not the culprits of the death of Qin, it will not be Hu Hai's turn, although the first emperor has more than ten sons, but the only one who can really get the throne is Fusu, right?" ”

It is difficult to explain the question of history, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh lightly, how should he tell Cao Wuyi about it? Zhao Gao and Li Si tampered with the holy decree, forced Gongzi Fusu to death, and set up the mediocre Hu Hai as a puppet, so that all kinds of righteous armies rose one after another, and in just over a year, they overthrew the Qin Dynasty?

This is unrealistic, I can't tell everyone that I'm an accidental traverser, right? Xiang Zhuang's heart was entangled, he pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head, looked at Cao Wuyi, and said patiently: "My nephew is just analyzing, within the imperial court, Zhao Gao and Li Si support the son Hu Hai, while Meng Tian and Meng Yi's brothers are supporting Fusu, but Meng Tian is outside, and Meng Yi is not in the political center of the imperial court, then, in the end, Fusu will be forced to death by Hu Hai because he does not have a stable background, Hu Hai has the support of Zhao Gao and Li Si, and he will naturally become the second emperor." ”

Xiang Zhuang's words stunned everyone, especially Cao Wujiao, his news was only obtained through some official channels, and Xiang Zhuang seemed to be in Xianyang, and he knew the development of the situation well, which made Cao Wujiao couldn't help but be surprised, where did this Xiang Zhuang get these news.

Thinking like this, Cao Wuyi asked again: "According to what you said, the harm of internal affairs is far greater than the harm of Hu Ren?" ”

"Yes, the harm of the Hu people is only an inch of land, and it can be stopped by sending troops to recruit and suppress, and the harm of internal affairs, especially the battle for succession, will endanger the entire country, and even the danger of losing the country, so my nephew thinks that this 'Hu who died in Qin' refers to Hu Hai, not Hu people."

But soon, Cao Wuji discovered the loophole, Zhao Gao is the commander of the CRRC government, he has the ability to fan the wind next to the first emperor, but Li Si is just a court lieutenant, a little court captain, can he and Zhao Gao plot to kill Fusu? Thinking about this, Cao Wuyi thought that Xiang Zhuang's words might just be his hearsay.

Xiang Liang heard that his nephew's analysis of Qin Ting's current situation was very reasonable, but he couldn't understand how Xiang Zhuang got these inside stories? Even, he knew the Qin Dynasty better than Cao Wuji, but Cao Wuji was present at the moment, he had to put on some gestures, so he coldly scolded Xiang Zhuang: "Hugh has to talk nonsense in front of your Uncle Cao, the Qin Dynasty is still very strong at this time, and the battle for the throne of Fusu Huhai may not be as simple as you think." ”

Xiang Zhuang saw his uncle scolding, so he had to apologize: "My nephew remembers." ”

Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction, Xiang Zhuang became more and more mature, so he continued to talk to Cao Wuyi, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, don't worry about juniors, let's continue." ”

Cao Wuyi also smiled apologetically, he had just talked with Xiang Zhuang, and he had completely lost the magnanimity he should have as an elder, so he remembered the main purpose of his coming today, but this question, he just wanted to talk to Xiang Liang in private, so he looked at his daughter and smiled: "You go out first, I'll talk to your Uncle Liang about something, and I'll come out to find you later." ”

Cao Fengzheng was worried that his father would reprimand himself for running around, so he hurriedly smiled at this time: "Okay, I'll go out and wait for Daddy." ”

Cao Feng went out, Xiang Liang understood Cao Wuyi's intentions, he might have something to tell him, so he also turned around and ordered: "You guys go out too." ”

Several juniors went out, and Cao Wuji and Xiang Liang were left in the house, they each took a sip of tea, at this time the tea was already a little cold, Cao Wuji slowly tasted the bitterness in the tea, and the bitterness was followed by the moist fragrance, at this time, Cao Wuji smiled bitterly: "When the Qin army went south, I still remember the battle." ”

Cao Wuyi refers to the battle when Xiang Yan was defeated, the Xiang family died a lot, but they couldn't keep the powerful Chu State, which made the Chu State gradually decline, and his father's cry before his death, Xiang Liang will never forget: Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!

At this time, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh lightly, looked at Cao Wuyi, and said with some emotion: "Brother Cao, after so many years, I can feel that I am getting old, and in two years, I will enter my forties, whether the Xiang family can make a comeback, whether the Chu State can be revived, I am really worried!" ”

Cao Wuyi is a former official of the Chu State, he has a very good relationship with the Xiang family, in front of Xiang Liang, he has nothing to hide, and, back then, in the first battle of Jiangnan, he also saw Xiang Yan sacrifice his life for the country and commit suicide, Xiang Qu has the last life, leading the soldiers of the Chu army to fight to the death with the Qin army, so that many people can escape from the battlefield and avoid the murder.

Time negligence, in the blink of an eye, it's been ten years, back then, Xiang Zhuang was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and he wiped a sweat for him, if Xiang Zhuang died, Xiang Qu's descendants, only Xiang Yu remained, fortunately, Xiang Zhuang really came back to life.

Cao Wuji found that his thoughts were too far away, he coughed dryly at the moment, cleared his throat, looked at Xiang Liang, and said with a smile: "I came this time to show Brother Liang a clear way, whether he can revive the Chu State, I don't know, but I feel that if you are willing to listen to me, the Xiang family will have a great chance of making a comeback." ”

Xiang Liang was aroused by Cao Wuyi's words, he couldn't help leaning over, and said beside Cao Wuji: "Brother Cao, please speak clearly." ”

Cao Wuyi wet his fingers in the tea and wrote two words on the table: 'Jiangdong'.

Cao Wuyi left, Xiang Liang was walking alone in the courtyard at this time, unconsciously, he came to the other courtyard, there is an old tree here, under the old tree, is the place where Xiang Liang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his father seems to still be standing beside him, and he taught himself earnestly: "Liang'er, what is the purpose of practicing swords?" ”

"Kill!"

"What is the purpose of killing the enemy?"

"Defend the King of Chu and defend the country!"

It's just such a simple eight words, saying that the grand ambition of serving the country is loyal, and the father also paid for these eight words, and the elder brother abandoned his wife and children for these eight words, and fought to the death with the Qin army......

With a long sigh, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh, defending the king of Chu and defending the country, where is the king of Chu? Where is the country?

At this time, the two words written on the table by Cao Wuyi appeared in front of Xiang Liang's eyes, Jiangdong?
