"How did Lu Bu respond?" Although he already knew that the matter of joining Lu Bu's side had been successful, the alliance between the two sides had not been officially achieved, because he had not yet understood what conditions Lu Bu would offer for the alliance between the two sides. Although Xiang Yu wanted to get a strong support from Lu Bu, if Lu Bu offered some unacceptable conditions for this reason, Xiang Yu would rather lead tens of thousands of Chu troops alone to fight with Lu Bu than agree to join forces with Lu Bu.

Huan Chu took out a secret agreement made of silk from his arms and handed it to Xiang Yu with both hands: "Lu Bu's request for the alliance is all in it."

"Yu'er, what did the covenant say?" Xiang Yu's father Fan Zeng came to hear the news. Seeing Xiang Yu looking at the covenant handed to him by Huan Chu, he couldn't help but ask.

Xiang Yu carefully watched the covenant in his hand twice before exhaling a breath of turbid air and laughing: "This Lu Bu did not offer any excessive conditions, and he only made two requests for the covenant he gave to us."

"Oh? Are they just two requests? I originally thought that Lu Bu might make more requests because of our weakness. I never thought that it was just two requests. Well, look at Yu'er, you look relaxed. I think these two requests are not excessive?" Fan Zeng stroked his pale short beard and asked with a smile.

"Father Ya, look, this Lu Bu's first request was simply not mentioned. He just asked us to prepare our own food and grass, and the number of troops sent by the two families should not be less than 50,000. We were worried that Lu Bu would take advantage of the opportunity of our alliance to open a tiger's mouth to eat a batch of our military rations, but unexpectedly, he actually proposed to ask both parties to bear their own military rations. This was a great thing." Xiang Yu pointed to Fan Zeng at the first condition of the alliance, with a very refreshing smile on his face.

"It's not only that. In this first article, Lu Bu also stated that both sides should deploy no less than 50,000 military forces, but it prevented both sides from not having to do their best in this battle to aid Zhao in order to preserve their strength. This is very suitable for us. Now that we have killed Song Yi, if we go back like this, it will inevitably intensify the conflict with King Huai. If we don't do it well, we will have to embarrass the blatant path of regicide.

Only by winning this battle with Zhao aid can we have the record of blocking King Huai's mouth, and also give us time to turn around. Since Lu Bu wrote this article on the alliance, at least in the next battle with the Qin army, he would never be able to send out even 50,000 troops. Otherwise, as long as we announce the alliance, wouldn't he slap himself in front of the people of the world?" Compared to Xiang Yu's emphasis on food and grass, Fan Zeng valued the bottom line limit on the forces of both sides participating in the battle in this first alliance.

"As for the second article, it requires that after both sides defeat the Qin army, once our army obtains any surrendered soldiers from Qin army, they cannot harm these surrendered soldiers. They need to be handed over to Lu Bu's side. Hehe, I didn't see that Lu Bu is full of confidence. Now even if we join forces, it is still weak compared to the Qin army with 200,000 elite troops in the northern border. However, Lu Bu has already planned to take over the surrendered soldiers of Qin army after defeating the Qin army." Xiang Yu was amused by the confidence revealed by Lu Bu in the alliance. Xiang Yu did not take it seriously for the ownership of the surrendered soldiers of the Qin army that could not even see the shadow.

But Fan Zeng took the covenant from Xiang Yu and read it carefully. Lu Bu might not have any advantage in the first covenant, but the Qin army captives mentioned in the second covenant belonged to Lu Bu's side. Fan Zeng's intuition told him that this might cause great losses to their side.

"What's wrong with Yafu? Is there anything wrong with this covenant?" Xiang Yu felt that although these two covenants were a little inexplicable, their Chu army would never suffer any losses after the alliance. Once the covenant was signed, they could immediately have Lu Bu and the powerful princes who supported Yan and Qi. The result of the assistance of the two places was indeed beneficial and harmless.

Fan Zeng thought about it for a while, but finally shook his head. Even if he looked carefully several times, he couldn't find anything worth opposing. The first covenant was needed. In addition to the number of people participating in the war, the water of the well did not interfere with the river. I don't ask you to use food and grass to help me. Don't expect me to use food and grass for you.

The second article of the Covenant seems to be indescribable. The more than 400,000 Qin troops attacked Zhaodi fiercely. It is an unknown whether they can win. Even if they can get some prisoners, how many can they have? Fan Zeng did not feel much loss when he used the things they had not yet obtained as things in the Covenant.

Seeing that Fan Zeng had read it several times, Xiang Yu had no problem, so he prepared to stamp his Xiang clan's seal on the covenant to show that the covenant was formed.

"Let's go back to the Xiang family army, Military Commander Fan, have you really not seen the problem of these two alliances?" A slightly hesitant voice sounded behind everyone. Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Huan Chu and others looked back, but found that the person who was talking was actually a halberd.

"It's just a sage man in front of my tent. How can you interrupt like this big thing like today? You don't know what to say or what not to say during these days in the army? You don't know what to say or what not to say? You won't leave?" Xiang Yu's face turned red at this time. This person was the sage man who belonged to him. If he lost something, he would be his face.

"Yu'er is a little restless. This person is very handsome and speaks loudly again. He can't say anything but has his own unique insights. Let's listen to him. If he doesn't say it well, it's not too late to drink him off." Fan Zeng stopped Xiang Yu, who was about to drive away the galangal, and looked at the galangal in front of him with a calm expression. Then he nodded slightly to signal the galangal to say what he wanted to say.

"I'm sorry to be too much. In my opinion, the first article of the alliance here is only for the second article to exist. The real problem is that if there are Qin soldiers in the future, all the Qin soldiers will be all captives from Lu Bu's side. Please think about it. This is not clear here. Which battle is it, the prisoners captured during that period, but only roughly states that all the Qin soldiers captured by our army will be handed over to Lu Bu's side. Maybe there is no problem in one or two battles, but if this continues, wouldn't it mean that our army and the Qin army fought hard and the captured Qin army will be handed over to Lu Bu's side in the future?

In history, once a war is defeated, the number of prisoners is much higher than the number of casualties. Now the number of Qin troops in the Guandong area alone has exceeded 400,000. Assuming that the Qin army was defeated by our coalition forces, at least 200,000 Qin soldiers would be captured, and these 200,000 people would all belong to Lu Bu. Wouldn't the fighting power of Lu Bu's side instantly surpass the sum of all the princes in the world? In this way, wouldn't it be that just spent some effort to defeat the Qin army, but suddenly found that there was another giant with hundreds of thousands of troops next to us? That's why the front gate went to the tiger back gate and the wolf went to General Xiang, and Fan Junshi was clearly aware of it."

The jilang bowed to show his respect, but saw that everyone around him looked surprised, but no one could have thought that a jilang who looked ordinary could actually speak this profound theory.

"What's your name?" Fan Zeng frowned and asked.

The halberd holds his teeth and smiles, and answers softly: "Han Xin" (to be continued)
