Chapter 551: Fan Zeng
Because of the birth of Xiang Ji, he defeated 100,000 Qin troops in one fell swoop, and the monarchs and ministers of Chu who had a false alarm returned to Wu County in a circle.
After Xiang Ji sent Xiong Xin back to the palace with a cold face, he did not stay long, but returned to Xiang's house, preparing to consolidate his cultivation.
Part of Di Xin's inheritance, covering a wide range of subjects, and broad and profound, is obscure to ordinary warriors, and for those who have accepted part of Di Xin's memories, this is a good thing to express to improve their cultivation.
With this part of Di Xin's inheritance and memory, although Xiang Ji didn't dare to guarantee that he could set foot in the Nine Rank Supreme Realm like Di Xin, he could break through the Grandmaster Realm as soon as possible, and he was still relatively sure of advancing to the Divine Soul Realm.
In Xiang Ji's view, he had to do a lot of things next, such as avenging his uncle, overthrowing the tyrannical Qin, and rebuilding Great Chu.
And all of this requires the support of strong martial arts cultivation to do so.
......
Xiong Xin returned to the palace of the king of Chu, had a beautiful meal, lay on the wide and soft dragon couch, looked at the richly decorated palace, and was very satisfied.
This is something that Xiong Xin never dared to think of in his previous thirteen years of sheep herding career.
Just now, he once thought that he was going to lose this luxurious and rich life, but thanks to Xiang Ji, he lost it and regained it, so he now cherishes this hard-won glory and wealth even more.
Not long after Xiong Xin lay down, someone from the palace came to report: "King Qiyu, the general of the Zhu State, Chen Ying, and Gong Ao ask to see him." ”
Xiong Xin couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, today's events could toss him around, and he was lying on the couch at this time, and he didn't want to get up.
The palace people seemed to know Xiong Xin's thoughts, so they opened their mouths to persuade: "The minister knows that His Majesty is very tired and needs to rest, but that Chen Ying and Gong Ao are both powerful generals with a large army, so they can't be easily offended." ”
Xiong Xin was silent, the current situation of the Chu State, the palace people in front of him had already told him, whether it was the court or the army, it was all in the hands of a few people.
At first, seventy percent of the Chu ** team was in the hands of the late general Xiang Liang, and the remaining thirty percent could be divided into three parts, Qu Jingzhao's three families controlled half, 50,000 people, and Chen Ying and Gongao controlled the remaining half, each leading 30,000 troops.
These armies are like private armies, firmly controlled by each family, although Xiong Xin is the king of Chu, I am afraid that not a single soldier can be moved.
Xiong Xin said with a complicated face: "Let them go to the main hall first and wait for a while, and the lonely king will wash and change his clothes." ”
The palace man bowed and said, "The king is wise." ”
A wry smile appeared on Xiong Xin's face: "What kind of wisdom is this Lonely King, it's just a helpless move, Song Yi, you tell Lonely King, when will Lonely King be like the ancestor and become the real king of this Great Chu?"
Song Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly glanced left and right, and found that there were only two palace maids serving Xiong Xin beside him, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and arched his hand: "The king is the king of this Great Chu, how can it be true or false?"
"It's just that the king is young, and the ministers are a little worried. ”
Xiong Xin sneered: "I'm afraid that in the eyes of the ministers, the lonely king will always be young." ”
Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly: "Then the king has to find a way to hold the military power in his hands." The military power is in hand, and what the king says, naturally some people will listen. ”
Xiong Xin's hot eyes stared at Song Yi tightly, stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said: "The Lone King can only rely on you, Xiang Liang's army is gone, if you recruit a new army next, the Lone King will definitely allow you to be a general." ”
Song Yi took a step back, bowed down and bowed, "Thank you for the king's attention." ”
Then Song Yi reminded: "It's time for the king to go to see Chen Yinggong. ”
Xiong Xin's face returned to calm, nodded slightly, and walked towards the palace where the minister was received. [31 Fast Update]
Song Yi didn't follow directly, but turned around and broke the necks of the two palace maids before quickly catching up with Xiong Xin.
Xiong Xin was not surprised by this at all, because in the entire Chu State, the closest person to him was Song Yi, who had known him for three years, and the rest, including Xiang Liang, who supported him, were all outsiders.
In his opinion, only Song Yi will really help him.
In the side hall, seeing the bear heart, Chen Ying and the two of them bowed unhurriedly: "The minister pays homage to the king." ”
Xiong Xin showed a hint of innocence and said, "The two generals are exempt, I don't know what happened when the two generals came?"
The two glanced at each other, and Chen Ying arched his hand and said: "King Qiyu, General Xiang Liang unfortunately died in battle, it is really a great misfortune for the Chu State, and now the countries are reinstated, and they will jointly oppose Qin, if the Chu State wants to grow, it must not lag behind others in terms of military equipment." ”
"And whether a country is strong or not depends on its king, but also on its generals. For the generals should be appointed more carefully, the minister heard that the nephew of the late general has become a martial arts master, which is really the blessing of the Chu State, if he can lead the army of the Chu State, it will definitely allow the Chu State to dominate the Central Plains again. ”
"The minister asked the king to worship Xiang as the general of the Zhu State, commanding all the soldiers and horses of the Chu State, shaking the night inside and resisting the strong Qin outside. ”
Gong Ao followed with a postscript: "The minister also has this intention, and I hope that the king will focus on the foundation of the Chu State and worship Xiang as the general of the Zhu State." ”
Xiong Xin looked at the two people with sincere faces, and became more and more convinced in his heart that as long as he controlled the military power, he could command everything, otherwise how could these people jump out to fight for power in such a hurry?
After listening, Xiong Xin did not answer directly, but glanced at Song Yi, and when he saw Song Yi nodding, Fang said: "What the two generals said is extremely true, King Gu immediately asked people to prepare for this matter, and please rest assured that the general." ”
A knowing smile appeared on Chen Yinggong's face, and he bowed and said, "The king is wise." ”
Xiong Xin smiled slightly: "I don't know if the two generals have other things?"
Chen Ying coughed lightly and said: "The late general was harmed by the Qin people, and the army of Chu also suffered heavy losses, please call on the Chu people to join the army in the name of the king of Chu, so that they can recover quickly." ”
Xiong Xin thought for a while, and then said: "This matter is very important, the Lone King needs to convene his ministers to discuss it tomorrow, how about the general put forward his own ideas at that time?"
Chen Ying bowed down and responded: "Weichen obeys." ”
Half a quarter of an hour later, Chen Ying Gongao watched Xiong Xin personally sign the royal order to worship Xiang as the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and left satisfied.
Xiong Xin looked at the backs of the two leaving, his face was cold, and after half a sound, Fang said to Song Yi: "Tomorrow, the Lone King will announce in front of all the ministers that you will preside over the conscription, I hope you don't disappoint the Lone King." ”
A hint of joy appeared on Song Yi's face, and he bowed down and replied loudly: "Please rest assured that the king will definitely put his hand into the army and train a loyal army for the king." ”
Xiong Xin muttered to himself, "I hope so." ”
......
Xiang Fu, Xiang Ji reorganized his martial arts path, and said confidently: "Three years, at most three years, I will definitely be able to break through the Divine Soul Realm, and then I will be invincible in the world, and no one can stop me." ”
A member of the Xiang clan came to Xiang Ji and saluted: "Qiqi Young Patriarch, there is a traveling priest from outside the mansion, who claims to have an old relationship with the young patriarch, and is here to abide by the promise made with the young patriarch in the past. ”
Promise? Xiang Ji was full of doubts, and he didn't want to see him, but the ghost sent a god to say: "Let him in." ”
As soon as he said that, Xiang Ji faintly regretted it, but he couldn't pull his face and change his words, so he could only let the Xiang clan leave.
Soon, an old man with gray hair and full of energy stepped into Xiang's mansion and saluted Xiang Ji: "Little brother, do you remember the old man?"
A familiar picture appeared in Xiang Ji's mind, pointed to the old man, and said with a little surprise: "You are Fan Zengfan's uncle?"
The person nodded: "It's the old man, did the little brother ever remember, when you asked, when we can meet again, the old man told you that on the day of the meeting of the dragon and tiger, the old man will come to Jiangdong to find you, today, the old man fulfilled his promise to come, I don't know if the little brother is welcome?"
Xiang Ji, who has experienced Di Xin's possession and his uncle's death in battle, is no longer the hot-blooded young man he was back then.
I saw Xiang Ji's smile retracted, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why did the old man come?"
Seeing the solemnity of his question, Fan Zeng was no longer uninhibited, and solemnly replied: "Fan Zeng, a soldier, is here to assist the lord to dominate the world. ”
A trace of astonishment appeared on Xiang Ji's face: "Soldier, is the old man a soldier?"
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "The old man is a child of a soldier who is like a fake, and Wu Qi, the former master of the military family, is the same family. ”
Generations of Chu nobles, grandfather is a famous strong man among the grandmasters, Xiang Ji is no stranger to the military family.
This is the existence that all the generals in the world yearn for, and there are not many people who have entered the world, but each of them has left a great name, such as Jiang Shang, the first monarch of Qi State, Sun Wu, the soldier saint and others.
Xiang Ji's attitude became more sincere, and he bowed and said, "I don't know why my uncle taught me?"
Fan Zeng held his long beard in his hand and spit out eight words: "Respect the king of Chu inside, and attack the tyrannical Qin outside." ”
Xiang Ji thought for a moment, bowed down and said: "I wish to worship the old man as a military advisor, and I hope that the old man will not give up." ”
Fan Zeng laughed loudly when he heard this: "It's exactly what I want." ”
