Maybe Cao Wujiu's idea is right. After the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, the currencies and writings were unified, and the hearts of the people of the six countries were also unified. Whether it could revive the Chu Kingdom and revive the power of the Xiang clan was already out of reach.

, but how can we gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty, work hard, hide our strength and bide our time, recharge our batteries, and wait for the opportunity? This is the most important thing at the moment.

Xiang Liang turned around and looked around. He was so familiar with the old house. If he really left Xiangxiang and Jiangbei, he would be really reluctant to leave it. But for the Xiang family's ambitions over the years, and for the Xiang family's future, Xiang Liang had to make up his mind.

.

Walking back to the front yard, the night wind blew through, and Xiang Liang felt the hairs all over his body stand up. He walked back into his room, closed the door, and then sat back in front of the desk and looked at the things on the table.

Zhang Yangpi, if he really wants to move his family to Kuaiji, he must recall Xiang Bo and ask him to go south with him.

Maybe he was too absorbed in writing, but at some point, Xiang Sheng came to him quietly. At this time, Xiang Liang's letter was almost finished. Seeing Xiang Liang raise his head, Xiang Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Is the letter important?

Do you need me to find a way to send it away?"

Xiang Liang shook his head slightly. He couldn't let Xiang Tao go about this matter. If Xiang Tao did it, Xiang Bo would mistakenly think that he didn't pay attention to this matter. He has been living in Xiapi for these years and has a stable life. Xiang Liang

I am very worried that Xiang Bo will become lazy because of this, and will not think about progress or revenge. Thinking of this, a person's name appeared in Xiang Liang's mind: Xiang Zhuang!

Xiang Liang picked up the pen again and finished writing the remaining words. Then he blew gently with his mouth to dry the ink. Looking at the letter written on the sheepskin, Xiang Liang read it again.

Feeling that there was no problem, he put it in a cloth bag, then he slowly got up, moved//and asked: "Are Yu'er and Zhuang'er asleep?"

"After Long Qe and Ji Bu left, they went back to their rooms. They should have gone to bed by now." Xiang Sheng said very uncertainly. He had not passed by the other courtyard where the two lived, but at this time Xiang Liang

He smiled and said, "Long Qe and Ji Bu are both good children. Yu'er has made moderate friends with them. I'm very satisfied. Come on, come and go for a walk with me."

The lights in Xiang Yu's room had been turned off. Xiang Liang bypassed the path and came to Xiangzhuang's yard. The yard was shrouded in dim candlelight. The room was very bright. Through the window paper, he could see a figure reading from a bamboo slip. Xiang Liang was satisfied.

He nodded. At this time, Xiang Sheng on the side laughed and said: "Master Zhuang studies until late at night every night. He is very hardworking."

Hearing Xiang Sheng's praise, Xiang Liang couldn't help but chuckle. Among his brother's two sons, he originally placed all his hopes on Xiang Yu. Xiang Zhuang was injured when he was young, and Xiang Liang didn't want Xiang Zhuang to take on the responsibility of the family.

However, when he invited a teacher to teach him, Xiang Yu refused to study hard, thinking that studying essays could only help him learn how to write names. Xiang Liang had no choice but to let him practice swordsmanship and martial arts, but Xiang Yu was still uneasy.

Xiang Liang thought that Yu'er might be the reincarnation of General Xing, so he personally taught him the art of war and urged him to practice martial arts. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was not that material after all. The Art of War

He had a rough understanding of general concepts, but refused to delve deeper. When he arrived at Xiangzhuang, he would read some art of war every day. It was beyond his expectation. Xiang Liang wanted to teach him personally, but there were too many things going on in the Xiang family recently, and he was unable to do so.

I have no choice but to waste time like this.

...

"Victory and defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs. It is a man who is ashamed and endures shame. The children of Jiangdong are many talented people. He will come back again." Cao Feng read this poem repeatedly on the horse. Xiang Yu told her that this poem was written by Xiang Zhuang. Although Cao Feng

Feng was a female of the first generation, but after all, the Cao family came from the old Chu officialdom, and Cao Feng also knew some writing.

It can be read from this poem that Xiang Zhuang's longing for the future also doubled Cao Feng's affection for Xiang Zhuang. She could feel Xiang Zhuang's heart's desire for the revival of the Chu Kingdom.

But because of Cao Feng's endless recitation of this poem, his father Cao Wujiu asked: "Who wrote this poem? Why haven't I heard it?"

Cao Wujiu came to his daughter's side with a smile, patted her head on the horse, and said: "However, this poem is very powerful and has the potential to make a comeback. It only has a bit of vicissitudes and a bit of regret in it.

"

"Why is this?" Cao Feng looked at his father in confusion.

Cao Wujiu didn't seem to notice his daughter's rhetorical question. He was also reading this poem repeatedly. Victory and defeat are unpredictable. Those who can endure humiliation will surely make a comeback. Those who can calmly observe the current situation and hide their strength and bide their time will surely be able to make waves and have the power to swallow up mountains and rivers.

I have already valued Jiangdong, plotted development, and sought a comeback in the future. Isn't this the retreat I recommended to Xiang Liang tonight?

After so many years, he has not alienated Xiang Liang because of the decline of the Xiang family. Cao Wujiu believes that he has done his best to the Xiang family. As for the road ahead, how they will take it depends on them. There is no one in the world who is not good at it.

For the banquet, I did everything I could do.

Thinking like this, Cao Wujiu suddenly remembered his daughter's question just now, and said with a soft smile: "King Gou Jian of Yue was able to endure hardships on a salary, not because he could not fight to the death, but because he could endure humiliation and survive, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

The person who wrote this poem is definitely not an ordinary person, and I can read from the poem his unwillingness to accept the demise of the Chu Kingdom."

"Chu?" Cao Feng heard from her father's words his nostalgia and regret for the old Chu. She couldn't help pouting and whispered: "Don't you want to know, this poet?

Who is it?"

Cao Wujiu seemed to have seen through everything, and said with a smile: "Who else can miss the old Chu so much and look forward to the restoration of the country, except you, Uncle Liang?"

His laughter was full of confidence and expectations for the future, but Cao Feng interrupted his laughter: "You are wrong, it's Brother Xiangzhuang."

Cao Feng was very proud, looked at her father, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Xiangzhuang wrote this poem this afternoon when he was in Dongshan. Brother Xiang Yu told me personally."

Cao Wujiu was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiang Zhuang, who was once the most inconspicuous in his eyes, would give him so many surprises one after another today. Just when Cao Wujiu was surprised, Cao Feng realized that he said

He was lying. His father did not allow him to get too close to them. He always used the same old tone, scolding him for growing up and getting married after the new year. But he would never know that in his heart, he only had brother Xiangzhuang.

one person.

Cao Feng saw her father looking at her in shock, with both blame and surprise in his eyes. She quickly turned her horse's head and wanted to leave, but Cao Wujiu grabbed the reins. There was a brief silence, and Cao Wujiu

He said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, you are not allowed to have any contact with Xiang Zhuang."

"Why?" Cao Feng was stunned. She didn't expect her father to be so decisive.

"The ambition of the Xiang family is to restore the country. The Qin Dynasty is still very powerful. Their dreams are not easy to realize. I don't want my daughter to be implicated because of the Xiang family. In short, you are not allowed to go to the prime minister again!" Cao Cao

Wu Jiu refused very decisively and ruthlessly. Cao Feng still wanted to argue, but Cao Wu Jiu had already reined in his horse and moved forward, no longer paying attention to his daughter.

...

"A teacher who is upright is a strong person, and a teacher who is honest is an old man." Xiang Zhuang read out softly, thinking about the meaning of this sentence. At this time, Xiang Liang's voice sounded at the door: "Only when a teacher has a good name can he be honest and confident. If the name is incorrect, his words will not be smooth.

, If words are not obeyed, there will be no morale. If there is no morale, the order will not be carried out. If the order is not carried out, the three armies will be defeated. If the three armies are defeated, the general will die!"

Xiang Zhuang heard his uncle's voice and stood up in a hurry. He saw that his uncle had walked into the house and was staring at him. Xiang Zhuang walked a few steps quickly and came to his uncle. He bent down and saluted: "Zhuang'er doesn't know that uncle is here, so he can't."

Welcome from afar, please forgive me, uncle."

Xiang Liang looked at his nephew with relief. This child was able to study late at night, and his ambition was commendable. He helped Xiang Zhuang up with one hand and said with a smile: "What has Zhuang'er been reading recently?"

"national policy."

"Oh?..." Xiang Liang couldn't help but become interested and said with a smile: "Which article have you read?"

"Zhao is going to attack Yan." Xiang Zhuang smiled and handed the bamboo slip to Xiang Zhuang, and said: "The saying of the Su Dynasty: 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gets the benefit' is terrifying and sharp. In just a few sentences, Zhao was stopped.

Qie Fanyan’s thoughts.”

The nephew has indeed matured a lot. Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction and took Xiang Zhuang back to the soft seat to sit down. At this time, Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Your analysis of Qin Ting today is not like a brainchild. // Chao, said

Tell me, how come you know Qin Ting so well?"

Seeing his uncle suddenly asking about this matter, Xiang Zhuang felt helpless. He said it casually on a whim today, but now his uncle was so concerned about it. How should he explain to him?

He made it clear that he was a time traveler and knew this era well, so he told him that in the battle at Dingtao, he would die in battle? In the battle at Julu, Xiang Yu would become invincible and the enemy of ten thousand people? Of course, he could not tell them this.

Xiang Zhuang was a little helpless at this time. He looked at the uncle in front of him. He had brought up Xiang Yu and himself. For so many years, he had not remarried or had children. He only regarded himself and Xiang Yu as his biological flesh and blood.

How should I repay this love?

But now, how to deal with Xiang Liang is the big problem in Xiang Zhuang's mind. After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhuang muttered: "A few days ago, some people were talking about this in the wine shop in East Village. I also heard them mention it.

, I just got to know Qin Ting a little bit."

Xiang Liang immediately became alert, stared at Xiang Zhuang, and asked, "How are they dressed? Could they be people from the Qin Palace?"

Xiang Zhuang shook his head: "They were dressed so plainly that they didn't look like dignitaries, so my nephew didn't pay much attention to them and just listened to their conversation roughly."

Seeing Xiang Zhuang say this, Xiang Liang sighed softly. For so many years, he has worked hard to find an opportunity for revenge, but things have not come true. He is getting older day by day. I really don't know if there will be a day when he can lead the athletes of Chu State.

, broke through Hangu Pass and overthrew the Qin Dynasty? In sadness, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh, looked at Xiang Zhuang, changed the subject and said: "Uncle Cao came today and wanted to persuade me to move home to Kuaiji, but I am a little hesitant."

Kuaiji? Isn't that Jiangdong? Xiangzhuang couldn't help but secretly sigh. According to historical records, Xiang Liang raised troops in Kuaiji County, killed the county guards, and separated one side. After Chen Sheng died, he led his troops northward and established the Chu Kingdom. History did not change because of his appearance.

As for the deviated trajectory, things that should come will come slowly. In the future, during the battle of Dingtao, I must remind my uncle to prevent him from embarking on the road of no return. Thinking so, Xiang Zhuang smiled and said: "I think

Uncle Cao's words make sense. The Jiangdong area is far away from Guanzhong and Qin Ting's control there is relatively weak, so it is suitable for us to settle there for a long time."

Xiang Zhuang had the same idea as his own, and Xiang Liang couldn't help but smile: "But once we move to Jiangdong, the Xiang family's property will inevitably be given up. In this way, we will reintegrate into a new environment. Don't you miss your homeland?"

"What's the use of remembering?" Xiang Zhuang sighed softly and said helplessly: "In the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chu Kingdom was defeated. It was my uncle who took Zhuang'er and his brother to take refuge back to his hometown. Over the years, my uncle has paid too much for us.
