Chapter 38: Xiang Liang Dingce
The world is disturbed, Surabaya County, Chen County have a rise of righteous troops, but the Huiji County far away in Jiangdong is not peaceful, the Xiang family has been entrenched in Huiji, they are also dormant, waiting for the opportunity to uncover the rod and recover the Chu State.
At this time, in the secret room of the Lu Mansion, three large boxes were placed in front of everyone, the lids of each box were open, the first box was filled with swords, and the second and third boxes were mainly filled with Ge heads and spearheads, which would become the capital of the Xiang family.
At this time, Xiang Liang was in front of the box, picked up an iron sword, and waved it in his hand, this iron sword was heavy in his hand, and the sharp edge made people shudder, and he had an effect that the copper sword could not match, that is, the hard sword body and sharp blade.
But this kind of sword production is extremely difficult, the so-called hundred refining into steel, at this time the Xiang family has not been able to mass production, like this kind of iron sword, only more than 20 pieces, more, or the production of copper swords, but with the guidance of Xuanzi, the Xiang family cast copper swords, are all four feet long, which on the battlefield, the advantage is conceivable.
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction, put the iron sword back in the box, and picked up the head from another box, the head was cast in bronze, and then polished by craftsmen, it was extremely sharp, and it also played a leading role on the battlefield, looking at the three boxes of weapons, Xiang Liang laughed loudly: "Zhuang'er, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied." ”
Xiang Zhuang smiled and arched his hand: "Uncle praised it." ”
Xiang Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You have done a good job." ”
At this time, Xiang Bo on the side came over, picked up the iron sword and looked at it, and probed the blade with his hand, which was extremely sharp, and he couldn't help laughing: "Although we have an iron-smelting process, how to increase the output needs further research, Zhuang'er, I hope you can solve this matter as soon as possible." ”
Xiang Zhuang looked at Uncle Xiang and nodded, "I will visit Xuanzi again, hoping to get his help to increase the production speed of the iron sword." ”
Everyone nodded slightly, and at this time, the knock on the door of the guards sounded, and soon, a person's voice came from outside the door: "Duke Liang, the county government is here, and the county guard wants to see you." ”
"I see." Xiang Liang replied unhappily, at this time, he looked at Xiang Bo on the side, and ordered: "Transfer these weapons to the treasury of the back house, pay attention to concealment, and don't expose them." ”
After speaking, Xiang Liang strode towards the secret room.
。。。。。。
In the county guard's mansion, Yin Tong paced back and forth in front of the table, Chen County was lost, Chen Sheng established the Zhang Chu regime in Chen County, at this time the Qin State was in turmoil, although the imperial court did not send troops on a large scale to suppress the arrest, but Yin informed that the Qin State had been tyrannical for many years, and had already lost the hearts of the people, and it was not easy to suppress the rebellion.
And, more importantly, Jiangbei is turbulent, Jiangdong will not be stable, where should I go? Conscription and banditry or self-reliance?
From the current point of view, Yin Tong is more inclined to the latter, he has established a private army of 2,000 in Huiji, as long as he is winning over the heroes of Luliang and Huiji counties, gathering soldiers and horses, recruiting heroes everywhere, and wanting to stand on his own, it is definitely not difficult.
Moreover, what Yin Tong values most is that Jiangdong is extremely far away from the political center of the imperial court, even if the Qin State intends to capture Jiangdong and send troops back and forth, it will take half a month, besides, Jiangdong still has the danger of the Yangtze River, and it is even more difficult for the Qin army to cross the river.
Just when Yin Tong was thinking wildly and wandering all over the world, a government soldier walked in quickly and said, "My lord, Lu Liang is already waiting in the side hall. ”
Yin Tong nodded and walked quickly towards the side hall.
Xiang Liang had already sat down at the table at this time, the soldiers sent tea, Xiang Liang picked up the teacup, took a sip, although the aroma of the tea was overflowing, but Xiang Liang had no intention of tasting tea at this time, he was holding the teacup, but his mind was thinking quickly, Yin Tong was anxious to find himself, what would it be?
But Xiang Liang couldn't figure it out, did he ever think about it, was his identity exposed? But judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be, otherwise Yin Tong would not beat around the bush and invite himself here, just need to transfer troops to arrest him, just when Xiang Liang was thinking about this, hurried footsteps sounded, and soon, Yin Tong walked in quickly.
"Let Liang Gong wait for a long time." Yin Tong walked in with a smile, Xiang Liang hurriedly got up and bowed his hand: "Lu Liang greets the county guard." ”
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite." Yin Tong smiled and waved his hand, and the two of them sat down, at this time, the soldiers brought a cup of tea again, put it in front of Yin Tong, saluted and left, at this time, Yin Tong picked up the teacup, but he did not drink it, but looked at Xiang Liang, and asked in a deep voice: "Liang Gong has heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have risen in Qi County, and the flames of war are burning everywhere, at this time Chen Sheng and others have entered Chen County, where they have established the Zhang Chu regime and fought against the official division of the imperial court. ”
Xiang Liang didn't expect Yin Tong to find him, it was actually for this matter, he pondered for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "I've heard a little, but I think that this news is probably not true." ”
When Yin Tong saw Xiang Liang say this, he was interested, and couldn't help laughing: "Why did Liang Gong say this? ”
"I heard that Chen Sheng started as a tenant farmer, and because of the imperial court's conquest of Ding Beishu, he had to be conscripted into the army and go north with the army, so how can such a humble young man echo the hundreds of thousands of Chu people to work for him?" When Xiang Liang said this, he squinted at Yin Tong, and Yin Tong also fell into contemplation at this time, and soon, he wondered: "What does Liang Gong mean, there must be someone behind Chen Sheng to support him?" ”
Xiang Liang nodded and smiled: "I heard that Chen Sheng spread the word to the Quartet, threatening that Chu General Xiang Yan should lead the army westward to fight against Qin, I think this matter is true." ”
After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he sneered unconsciously, Xiang Yan is his father, he has already died on the battlefield, he said this at this time, just to increase Yin Tong's doubts, to see what he has in mind, sure enough, Yin Tong was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Liang Gong, at this time, there are several forces rising in the world, as the county guard of Huiji County, I also want to occupy a place, if Liang Gong is willing to help me, he will prosper the country, and Liang Gong should be the first credit." ”
Without Xiang Liang's guess, Yin Tong really had the intention to rebel, which happened to fall into Xiang Liang's plan, Xiang Liang came to Yin Tong's side, pretended to be mysterious, and asked softly: "What are the plans of Lord County Shou?" ”
"I heard that the warrior Huan Chu fell into the grass in the mountains, I want to win him over, plus the soldiers of the Huiji County Government and the private army under my command, and stand on his own, there is no problem at all." Yin Tong said softly.
After a short period of contemplation, Xiang Liang thought that the time was ripe, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Nephew Xiang Yu and Huan Chu know each other, you might as well let him lobby, and he will definitely be able to say that Huan Chu will come to vote." ”
"Great!" Yin Tong was overjoyed and got up suddenly, at this time, Xiang Liang arched his hand and said: "In this case, I will go back and prepare, and let my nephew Xiang Yu come to receive the order tomorrow." ”
Yin Tong nodded and said happily: "Then we will make up our minds." ”
。。。。。。
Back at the Lu Mansion, Xiang Liang immediately asked Xiang It to gather everyone and hold a meeting in the secret room, and he went straight to the secret room.
About half an hour later, everyone rushed to come, Xiang Liang saw that everyone had arrived, so he ordered the dead man to close the door of the secret room, the room was pitch black, two oil lamps were lit, and the room was bright again, at this time, Xiang Liang coughed dryly and sneered: "The opportunity I was looking forward to has finally arrived." ”
Xiang Liang's eyes wandered on everyone's faces, and after a short silence, Xiang Liang said again: "Tomorrow Yin Tong will summon Yu'er, and when the time comes, we can take the opportunity to kill Yin Tong, occupy Wu County, and call on the Quartet to rise up in the meeting." ”
Xiang Liang's words, everyone said that the blood was boiling, and they couldn't help but secretly applaud, at this time, Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, Yin Tong, I will take his dog's head with a sword!" ”
Inside the house, everyone laughed, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You also got up one after another, and said with a smile: "I am willing to listen to my uncle's arrangement." ”
Xiang Liang saw that the crowd was high-spirited, and spread the map on the table, which was a geographical map of Wu County, which marked the geographical location of Wu County within a radius of 100 miles, at this time, when everyone's eyes were focused on the map, Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Yin Tong intends to recruit Huan Chu, I have already responded to this matter in the name of Yu'er, and when the time comes, Yu'er will carry a short blade, follow me into the inner office, wait for the opportunity to kill Yin Tong, and take his head to order the three armies." ”
"I am willing to go to the soup for my uncle!" Xiang Yu gave up his hand, and at this time, Xiang Liang continued: "Zhuang'er, You'er, you two take the dead soldiers of the Xiang family, and Yu'er's private army, to control the major intersections and city gates in Wu County, half an hour after Yu'er and I enter the mansion, you two can bring troops to respond, there can be no mistake!" ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I will do our best to ensure the safe return of Uncle and Brother Yu!" Xiang Liang nodded, and said: "Xiang Sheng, you go and invite Long He to come to meet the teacher, Xiang It, you go and invite Huan Chu to come down the mountain, Xiang Bo, you set off tonight, go to the next minister to gather the Xiang family, and come to meet Ji." ”
Everyone clasped their fists, Xiang Liang nodded, and ordered: "Let's go and prepare." ”
。。。。。。
Everyone left, but Xiang Liang gave Xiang Zhuang a look, Xiang Zhuang stayed, and after everyone left, the door of the secret room was closed again, at this time, Xiang Liang put away the map, looked at Xiang Zhuang, and couldn't help laughing: "You have been managing the iron shop for some time, and now, the Xiang family is in trouble, it is the time to employ people, I decided to replace someone to take over the craftsman's shop, who do you think can take on this important responsibility?" ”
Xiang Zhuang saw that Xiang Liang was serious, and gradually understood in his heart, it seems that Xiang Liang decided to incorporate himself into the military, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "I think that Hua Yu can take over the craftsman's shop, he has been with me for some days, this piece, he should have no problem." ”
Hearing this, Xiang Liang nodded, "Since you think you can, these days, hand over the position to him, I believe in your vision." ”
Xiang Zhuang arched his hand and said with a smile: "I'll look for him tonight, and he can take over the craftsman shop tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiang Liang and said, "If it's okay, I'll retire first." ”
Leaving the secret room, Xiang Zhuang went straight to Xiang Sheng's room, and soon, he walked into Xiang Sheng's room, at this time, he was wiping his sword with a sackcloth, Xiang Zhuang took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Xiang Sheng, and instructed: "After you go north, you can take a detour to Suiyang, Suiyang Confucius family has an appointment with me, you give them the jade pendant, and tell them that I will go in person soon." ”
Xiang Sheng took the jade pendant, put it in his arms, and arched his hand with a smile, "Zhuang Gongzi, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”
"Then thanks" Xiang laughed loudly and turned to leave.
