In the back house of the Xiang family, Cao Wujiu and Xiang Liang were sitting opposite each other. There was a small table in the middle. There was an incense burner on the small table, and the fragrance was overflowing. Soon, a middle-aged man brought two cups of hot tea. He was

The dead man adopted by Xiang Liang was named Xiang Sheng, and he had been with Xiang Liang for seven years.

Xiang Sheng put the tea cup on the table and said softly: "Mr. Liang, Xiang Yu and the others ran out again and have not come back yet."

Xiang Liang was a little unhappy and scolded: "We have guests at home, but they ran out. Do you want to make me angry to death?"

Seeing that Xiang Liang was a little angry, Cao Wujiu advised him from the side: "Children are playful, it's not a big deal. Brother Liang, don't take it too seriously."

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

Xiang Sheng sang his promise and left. The room became quiet for a while. Xiang Liang took a deep breath and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He looked at Cao Wujiu and smiled: "Brother Cao, we

But some time has disappeared."

Cao Wujiu also took a sip of tea at this time and said with a smile: "Yes, it has been three years since I became an official in the Qin Dynasty. In these three years, our interactions have been much less."

Cao Wujiu put down the tea cup, looked at Xiang Liang, and said with a smile: "Recently, the imperial court dispatched Meng Tian to go north to attack the Xiongnu, and sent 300,000 troops. Has Brother Liang heard about this?"

The Qin Dynasty suddenly sent troops to attack//attack the Xiongnu? Xiang Liang did not hear this news, so he raised the teacup again, took a sip, looked at Cao Wujiu, and said in a puzzled tone: "What is the First Emperor doing again?"

Moth?"

Cao Wujiu also laughed mockingly and said softly: "The First Emperor likes people who practice Taoism. I heard that he ordered Lu Sheng to go to sea to seek immortality and find the elixir of immortality..."

After saying this, Cao Wujiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "I didn't get the elixir of longevity, but I asked for a heavenly book, which contains the four words 'Hu who destroyed Qin'."

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

Both of them smiled knowingly. At this time, Xiang Liang asked again: "But what does this heavenly book have to do with the Xiongnu?"

When Cao Wujiu saw that Xiang Liang didn't understand, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't these four words 'Hu who destroyed Qin' refer directly to the Huns? The Huns have always been called Hu people. With this heavenly book, the First Emperor can still be against the Huns.

Is anyone on guard?"

"Hahaha" the two people laughed loudly from inside the room. This is simply ridiculous. The First Emperor actually went to war because of a baseless book and sent 300,000 troops to attack the Huns. Since ancient times, the Huns have lived in Mobei.

How could the First Emperor of China easily destroy the people who disappeared without a trace and made the grassland their home? Besides, how much food would be consumed in this battle with an army of 300,000? Thinking about it, Xiang Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "Although the First Emperor has annexed

Six Kingdoms, but can he really be able to sit firmly in the country? Think about how prosperous our country of Chu was in the past, with thousands of miles of fertile land, but now..."

Talking about the sadness, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly. At this time, Xiang Zhuang's voice came from outside the door: "Uncle, what you said is wrong..."

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Yu and others learned that the two were talking and could not go inside to disturb them, so they had to wait outside. When they heard them talking about the Book of Heaven, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but think of Hu Hai later. The Book of Heaven actually refers to Hu Hai, not Hu Hai.

On a whim, Xiang Zhuang walked in slowly and said: "Hu who destroyed Qin is not a sign of the Xiongnu's rebellion. In fact, he refers to the young master Hu Hai. One day, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of Hu Hai."

Seeing his nephew and others coming back, Xiang Liang made a serious face and reprimanded: "You guys sneaked out again? Why don't you give Uncle Cao a present?"

"I'll pay my respects to Uncle Cao." Everyone bowed and saluted.

Cao Wujiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all our own people, you don't have to be polite."

Everyone stood behind Xiang Liang one by one, leaving only Cao Feng standing there alone. She suddenly found that her father's eyes were looking at her angrily, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and came behind her father. At this time, Cao Wujiu

Thinking of what Xiang Zhuang said just now, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "What Xiang Zhuang just said is very insightful. I don't know how you came up with it?"

When Xiang Zhuang saw Cao Wujiu asking, he had to step out, clasped his hands and saluted, "Uncle Cao, you can think about it. The Huns are far away in Mobei, and they are blocked by the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles in the mountains and fertile fields. There is no room for the Huns to develop.

Why did they give up the vast grasslands and come to the Central Plains to develop? What’s more, the living habits and customs of the Central Plains are not suitable for the Huns.”

At this time, Cao Wujiu asked again: "Even if the Xiongnu were not the culprit of Qin's downfall, it was not Hu Hai's turn. Although the First Emperor had more than ten sons, the only one who can really get the throne is Fusu, right?"

The issue of history is difficult to explain clearly. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh, how should he tell Cao Wujiu about this matter? Zhao Gao and Li Si tampered with the imperial edict, forced the young master Fusu to death, and replaced the mediocre Hu Hai as a puppet.

As a result, various rebel armies rose up one after another and overthrew the Qin Dynasty in just over a year?

This is unrealistic. You can't tell everyone clearly that you are an accidental time traveler, right? Xiang Zhuang was entangled in his heart. He pondered for a long time, finally raised his head, looked at Cao Wujiu, and said patiently: "My nephew is just analyzing.

Within the court, Zhao Gao and Li Si supported the young master Hu Hai, while brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi supported Fusu. However, Meng Tian was outside and Meng Yi was not in the political center of the court. In the end, Fusu would not have a stable foundation.

He was forced to death by Hu Hai who was behind the scenes. With the support of Zhao Gao and Li Si, Hu Hai would naturally become the second emperor."

Xiang Zhuang's words confused everyone, especially Cao Wujiu. His information was only obtained through some official channels, but Xiang Zhuang seemed to be in Xianyang and knew the development of the situation very well. This made Cao Wujiu surprised.

, where did Xiangzhuang get this information?

Thinking like this, Cao Wujiu asked again: "According to what you said, the harm caused by internal affairs is far greater than the harm caused by barbarians?"

"Yes, the harm caused by the barbarians only harms a small area of ​​land, and can be stopped by sending out troops to conquer it. However, the harm caused by internal affairs, especially the struggle for the right to inherit the rightful son, will endanger the entire country, and even risk the country's subjugation. Therefore, nephew

It is believed that this 'Hu who destroyed Qin' refers to Hu Hai, not the Hu people."

But soon, Cao Wujiu discovered the loophole. Zhao Gao was the commander of the CRRC, and he had the ability to stir up trouble next to the First Emperor. However, Li Si was just a Tingwei, a small Tingwei, and could plot against Zhao Gao.

Fusu? After thinking about this, Cao Wujiu 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? He even knew the Qin Dynasty better than Cao Wujiu, but Cao Wujiu

At this moment, he had to put on some gestures and scolded Xiang Zhuang coldly: "Don't talk nonsense in front of your Uncle Cao. The Qin Dynasty is still very powerful at this time, and Fusu Huhai's fight for the throne may not be as simple as you think."

.”

When Xiang Zhuang saw his uncle scolding him, he had to apologize: "My nephew, I remember."

Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction. Xiang Zhuang was becoming more and more mature. He continued to talk to Cao Wujiu and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, please don't argue with the younger generation. Let's continue."

Cao Wujiu also smiled apologetically. The conversation he had just had with Xiang Zhuang completely lost the magnanimity that an elder should have. Then he remembered the main purpose of his visit today. But on this issue, he just wanted to talk to Xiang Liang privately.

After talking, he looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "You go out first. I'll talk to your Uncle Liang about something and I'll come out to see you later."

Cao Feng was worried that his father would scold him for running around, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go out and wait for dad."

Cao Feng went out. Xiang Liang understood Cao Wujiu's intention. He might have something to talk to him, so he turned around and ordered: "You guys can go out too."

Several juniors had gone out, and Cao Wujiu and Xiang Liang were left in the room. They each took a sip of tea. At this time, the tea was already a little cold. Cao Wujiu slowly tasted the bitterness in the tea. After the bitterness,

At this time, Cao Wujiu smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, the Qin army marched south aggressively. I can still vividly remember that battle."

What Cao Wujiu was referring to was the battle in which Xiang Yan was defeated. Many people in the Xiang family died, but they could not protect the powerful Chu State, which caused the Chu State to gradually decline. His father's cry before his death, Xiang Liang will never

Forgot: Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!

At this time, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh, looked at Cao Wujiu, and said with some emotion: "Brother Cao, after so many years, I can feel that I am getting older. In two years, I will be in my fourth year."

It's ten years old. I'm really worried about whether the Xiang family can make a comeback and whether the Chu Kingdom can be revived!"

Cao Wujiu is an old official of the Chu State. He has a very good relationship with the Xiang family. He has nothing to hide in front of Xiang Liang. Moreover, during the battle in Jiangnan, he saw with his own eyes that Xiang Yan sacrificed his life for the country and committed suicide.

Xiang Qu died, and with his last life, he led the soldiers of the Chu army to fight the Qin army to the death, which enabled many people to escape from the battlefield and avoid the fatal disaster.

Time is negligent, in the blink of an eye, it has been ten years. Back then, Xiang Zhuang was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and I wiped his sweat for him. If Xiang Zhuang died, Xiang Yu would be the only descendant of Xiang Qu.

, Fortunately, Xiang Zhuang really came back to life.

Cao Wujiu realized that his thoughts had been pulled too far. He coughed dryly, cleared his throat, looked at Xiang Liang, and said with a smile: "I came here this time to show Brother Liang a clear path, can you?

I don't know about reviving the Chu Kingdom, but I feel that if you are willing to listen to me, the Xiang family will have a great chance of reviving."

Xiang Liang was aroused by Cao Wujiu's words. He couldn't help but leaned over and said beside Cao Wujiu: "Brother Cao, please speak clearly."

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

Cao Wujiu left, and Xiang Liang was walking alone in the courtyard. Unknowingly, he came to another courtyard. There was an old tree here. Under the old tree, it was the place where Xiang Liang practiced martial arts since he was a child. His father seemed to still be standing there.

Next to him, he was teaching him earnestly: "Liang'er, what is the purpose of practicing swordsmanship?"

"Kill the enemy!"

"What is the purpose of killing the enemy?"

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

These eight simple words express the ambition of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. My father also sacrificed his life for these eight words. For these eight words, my brother abandoned his wife and children and fought to the death with the Qin army. The Kingdom of Chu is far away.

The history and vast land have now been given to others...

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?
