“Young Uncle! What did you say!?”
Hearing Xiang Bo’s words, Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with this bit of annoyance.
“Young Uncle! How many members of my Xiang clan have died at the hands of the tyrant Qin! The nation’s hatred and hatred of the family! How can you say such words!”
Seeing this reaction, Xiang Bo’s heart was shocked and he hurriedly replied that
“I am seeing that you are too tired, Yu’er, thinking that Brother Zhao and I actually still have a friendship, and besides, he has always admired you.”
“Nowadays, the Qin army is pressing, if my Xiang clan cannot support itself, it will be a disaster!”
“Although I cannot compare with my elder brother, I am concerned about the survival of the Xiang clan!”
Hearing these words, Xiang Yu’s face eased slightly.
Little Uncle is also for the sake of the Xiang clan.
Xiang Yu quickly said that
“Young Uncle, our personal friendship with Duke Long is personal, but it should not be mixed up.”
Nowadays, between nobles, private friendship and public feud can nevertheless be separated.
Even though they are in rival camps, it does not prevent them from having a personal friendship with each other.
This is why he did not suspect too much of his youngest uncle, who would betray the core interests of the Xiang clan.
At this point, Xiang Yu continued to say that
“Little Uncle, you don’t need to worry too much, what Yafu said is right, although my Xiang Clan has suffered a great defeat, it is also an opportunity.”
“As long as the purge is done properly, in future, we will be able to practically control the entire Chu land!”
“The Xiang Clan will definitely grow again in my hands!”
Hearing Fan Zeng’s name, Xiang Bo couldn’t help but grimace and mutter that
“I think that old thing is just restless, it’s possible that he will surrender before even us when the time comes.”
Xiang Yu frowned and said.
“Young Uncle, Yafu’s loyalty to my Xiang clan can already be proven this time, if he hadn’t led the men to defend Dingtao.”
“Our losses would have been even greater!”
Xiang Bo said mendaciously, with a few moments of resignation.
“Perhaps he is using this to trick us?”
If he could fool Yu’er, why wouldn’t that old thing?
Xiang Yu shook his head and
“Young Uncle, you don’t need to mention this matter again in the future.”
Bo Xiang could only ta-da his mouth with regret and said that
“Alright then, don’t be too tired, Yu’er.”
He still cared for Xiang Yu too, it was just that, compared to his brother Zhao, this nephew of his was more like a child.
Just by looking at these tactics, that old thing Fan Zeng was so angry that he vomited blood.
His own nephew was brave and good, but he was no match at all!
Only after caring for Xiang Yu some more did Bo Xiang leave with some regret.
After Bo had left, Xiang Yu stood in the courtyard for a while, he was actually thinking of a strategy to break the enemy.
The explosive thunder that suddenly rang out that night had made him extremely wary.
If there hadn’t been that thunderbolt, he would probably have even killed his way up to the city tower!
“Gongzi Long, what was that thing? Or did you really have the help of the heavens?”
Xiang Yu looked in the direction of Ding Tao and muttered for a while.
Soon, ten days passed by in a flash.
Each of the two armies of Qin and Chu seemed to have received orders to be much quieter, even the small-scale fights were gone.
But the world didn’t quiet down because of this, instead the news got bigger one by one!
The first was the exciting news for the Qin people, the First Emperor issued an edict announcing a return to imperial rule, and also that there would be a ceremony for the enthronement of the Crown Prince.
It said that all the people could go forward to meet the ceremony.
It was a double celebration, so to speak!
Moreover, this prince was extremely uncomplicated, first posing as the king of Zhao to disrupt the rebellion of the remaining members of the six kingdoms.
He also led the army to eliminate the traitor Zhao Gao and save the First Emperor, so the title of Crown Prince was rightfully his!
I heard there were other identities too!
For example, he was the head of a farming family, and many farmers remembered him well!
There were also gossips that this prince was originally the illegitimate son of the First Emperor, who was favoured by the heavens and then rose to power.
In just a few short years, he had become what he is today!
It was simply a legendary story.
The people of the Great Qin all have a natural familiarity with this prince.
Of course, the return of the First Emperor had an even greater impact.
The nobles of the Chu region had already tucked their tails in fear. Didn’t they dare to rebel because they thought the First Emperor was gone?
But now, the other side had actually returned?
This was going to kill them!
Although Xiang was also advertising that all this was fake news, everyone was still in fear.
The prestige of the First Emperor was thus evident.
The only consolation for the nobles of the Chu lands was that their king of Chu was also proclaimed emperor!
The state of Chu was changed to Great Chu.
They also rewarded Xiang Yu of the Xiang clan as the King of Western Chu, with the other side taking command of the whole country in order to fight against the tyrannical Qin.
The Xiang’s did not seem to care about the nobles’ wait-and-see attitude, and only demanded money and soldiers.
Then the control over the regions was strengthened.
The nobles of the Chu lands obliged one by one.
The ambitious nobles all followed Xiang and died in Julu, and the rest, all just wanted to get on with their lives.
To keep their bloodlines alive.
But in any case, Great Chu also had its own emperor, and they still had to feel slightly more at ease.
As for the people of Great Chu, they were not overly excited.
For with two kingdoms side by side, there was bound to be a great battle.
The various nobles had already started forcibly recruiting soldiers and competing for provisions.
The people of Chu watched as the nobles, who had been officials of Qin, became officials of Chu.
The people who had previously said that they would lead them to rebel against the tyrannical Qin now began to oppress them instead.
And this time, they didn’t just want their money and food, they wanted their lives!
It was only now that they slowly came to their senses.
Although they had followed the uprising and rebelled against the tyrannical Qin
And it seems that they are now barely able to say that they have succeeded, but their situation has not improved in any way.
They did not understand the reasons for this, but their intuition told them that something was definitely wrong.
In the whole world, it seemed that only the farmers cared for them, gave them seeds, tools.
They would also organise the old and the weak to plough together and wanted to grow some rations for everyone.
When all these things from the farming family were taken away from them by the nobles of Chu, the people’s hearts were filled with resentment.
Only now they were still alive and would not yet resist.
But whenever it was late at night, their hearts would always think of what the peasants had said when they helped them.
“Alas, the chiefs are thinking of you all, how they would like to return some cattle, seeds to everyone!”
“It’s just that the Chu army is so powerful now that even if we give them, they will be robbed.
“I just hope that if the chief comes over one day with our farmers, you will help!”
Of course, they have raised questions, such as the fact that the Prince of Great Qin is the chief of the peasants.
But the peasants all stared back and said
“What? Where did you hear this news!”
“That’s clearly our chief, who has become the Crown Prince of the Great Qin!”
“He’ll be the emperor! If our leader becomes the emperor, will our lives be any worse?”
The peasants were slightly baffled, thinking that it was a bit strange, but they felt that the other side had a good point.
Yes, the chief of the peasants was an emperor!
What could be better than that?
