After the First Emperor unified the world, he divided the world into thirty-six counties. Among them, outside Wuguan, there was Nanyang County, which was the hometown of Chu State. Within Nanyang County, there was a place called Yangcheng County. There was a young man in the county.

He has little ambition, but because of his poor family, he has to live in a wealthy family and farm the land to make a living. His name is Chen Sheng, and he is twenty-two years old this year.

This afternoon, the sun was about to set, and all the friends were busy packing their things and preparing to go back. Only Chen Sheng was leaning on the earthbag, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, humming a Chinese tune leisurely and contentedly.

At that time, a young man named Ma Liu came over, touched Chen Sheng's forehead, and asked doubtfully: "You look unhappy, are you sick?"

Chen Sheng was dumbfounded by Ma Liu's actions. After a long while, he sneered and said, "I was just thinking about something."

"Tell me and listen." Ma Liu also became interested and sat next to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng looked at Ma Liu who sat down, pondered for a while, and sighed: "Now that the imperial court is carrying out large-scale construction projects, people everywhere are missing their motherland, and I too

Likewise, I hope that the Chu State can be revitalized so that I can ride on the battlefield and do great things."

After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he patted Ma Liu on the shoulder and said: "Sitting in the mountains like this day after day, year after year, is not what a man would do."

After hearing this, Ma Liu couldn't help laughing and jokingly said: "Chen Sheng, are you crazy? We are tenant farmers, small people who work for others to make money. How can we go into battle to kill the enemy? Moreover, the Chu Kingdom has long been gone, so it is impossible to

It’s been revived, please stop having such ridiculous dreams, okay?”

Chen Sheng was angered by Ma Liu's words, stood up suddenly, glared at Ma Liu, and shouted: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"

After saying that, Chen Sheng stood at the highest point of the slope, raised his head and shouted: "I, Chen Sheng, will definitely accomplish what I want in my heart and work hard. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in old age. My friends will follow suit."

I will gain wealth and live a peaceful life!"

After roaring, Chen Sheng felt much happier. Then he picked up the rake and prepared to go back. However, he found that dust was rising on the mountain road several miles away. Chen Sheng got interested and ran along the slope to the distance, crawling on the slope.

On the top, looking into the distance, on an inconspicuous mountain road, the mighty Qin army lined up in neat ranks, slowly heading south.

The leading general, wearing silver armor, holding two maces in his hands, with a bow bent at his waist, looked majestic. Behind him, there were more than a hundred soldiers guarding him. A banner fluttered in the wind, with the word "TU" written loudly on it.

, this is the goal that Chen Sheng dreams of. Thinking that he is still farming for others, Chen Sheng lies on the slope again and sighs, when will he be able to make a difference.

...

After pacifying the Huns in the north, the First Emperor carried out extensive construction projects in Xianyang City, built Afang Palace, and built the imperial mausoleum. Tens of thousands of prisoners and corvees were recruited into the capital. Among them, at least two layers of people died on the road, and the rest

Those who can reach Xianyang alive will die on the construction site.

But the First Emperor was not content with the status quo. Less than half a year after the construction of Afang Palace, the First Emperor decided to launch an attack on the Nanman. In mid-May, the First Emperor finally unified his thinking in the court and ordered an army of 500,000 to go south and massacre

With Sui as the chief general and Zhao Tuo as his deputy, they marched south to quell the barbarians.

However, due to the shortage of troops, the First Emperor ordered that all prisoners, businessmen, and sons-in-law be incorporated into the army to increase the number of soldiers, which caused riots and panic in Xianyang City again. The people suffered this misfortune and had nowhere to redress their grievances. Every family was separated from their wives, and Xianyang City cried.

There was a lot of shouting...

The people of the world are in dire straits, but Xiapi County, far away from the East China Sea, is still immersed in peace. Due to the remoteness of the place, the imperial court is still unable to recruit soldiers in Donghai County. At this time, in a house on the left side of Xiapi City

, Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang were sitting opposite each other. There was a table in the middle with two cups of tea, which was still steaming.

Xiang Liang had lived in Xiapi for half a year at this time. He had assumed another identity and together with Zhang Liang recovered most of the Xiang family's property in Xiapi. Because of this, Xiang Liang owed Zhang Liang a great favor.

But since the showdown between Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyi, the Zhang family no longer hides their identity, and the friendship between Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang is also deepening day by day. Tomorrow, Xiang Liang will set off to settle in the land of Wuhui. Zhang Liang is now

I prepared a sumptuous banquet in the evening and wanted to deliver a message to Xiang Liang.

But at this time, there was still a long time before the dinner, so Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang sat together, chatting and passing the time. They were about to leave, and they talked more than usual. At this time, Xiang Liang was holding a tea cup.

, took a sip and sighed: "That day, the Xiang family was in trouble, and I felt extremely desperate. If it hadn't been for your righteous action, brother Zhang Liang, I'm afraid the Xiang family would have dispersed by now."

Speaking of this, Xiang Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head. The trip to Xianyang made Xiang Liang taste the warmth and coldness of human beings, the vicissitudes of the world, he also suffered and swallowed his tears. He could only swallow his teeth when he had them knocked out. Thinking back to the time when Bo Xiang

When he fled, he would not be any better than himself. Thinking this, Xiang Liang put down his tea cup and thanked him: "If it weren't for your help these years, it would be difficult for my brother Xiang Bo to have a stable place to live.

"

Having said this, Zhang Liang raised his hand to interrupt Xiang Liang, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just trying my best, why should Brother Xiang Liang be so polite, and..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's eyes fell on Xiang Zhuang behind Xiang Liang, and he smiled and said: "And... the person who saves you this time is not me, but your good nephew Xiang Zhuang, who is rare."

He is a talented person with great ambition, wisdom and courage, and the restoration of the Xiang family in the future will definitely depend on this person!"

Hearing Zhang Liang praise Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Liang laughed heartily. This Xianyang disaster also made Xiang Liang see Xiang Zhuang's heroic and wise side. This nephew inherited the ancestral style of the Xiang family, but in front of Zhang Liang

, Xiang Liang still wanted to make some gestures, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Zhuang'er is still young. In the future, brother Zhang Liang will need more guidance and training."

When Zhang Liang heard what Xiang Liang said, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't need to teach you. I just hope that Xiang Zhuang's nephew can have a close relationship with my family. I am willing to be enough."

As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, why are you so polite? Brother Buyi and I must treat each other like brothers."

"I am also willing to marry brother Xiang Zhuang forever." Zhang Buyi stood up and high-fived Xiang Zhuang as an oath. Soon, everyone burst into laughter in the room. After the laughter passed, Xiang Zhuang took the hand from Xiang Sheng.

He put the bow on the table respectfully and said with a smile: "I borrowed this bow from Uncle Zhang that day. Today, it is time to return it to its original owner."

Zhang Liang looked slightly displeased and complained: "I have given this bow to my nephew, so why do you do this?"

"Uncle Zhang's words are wrong. A treasure bow matches a hero. Xiang Zhuang cannot be called a hero at this time. Besides, this is a treasure bow passed down from the ancestors of the Zhang family. Please take it back!" Xiang Zhuang pushed the bow forward with both hands again.

After pushing, Zhang Liang stared at the bow for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Okay, I will take this bow back. I just hope that it can find its true owner in the future."

Everyone was sighing secretly, especially Xiang Yu. He could see that this bow was a four-stone hard bow, which was very suitable for Xiang Zhuang to use. However, Xiang Zhuang was right to return the bow and arrows to Zhang Liang. He was a manly man and magnanimous.

Don't accept any benefits from others at will. Thinking of this, Xiang Yu reached out and patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder.

There was a brief silence in the room. Soon, Zhang Liang coughed dryly, looked at his son Zhang Buyi, and said with a smile: "You can take the bow back to my study and hang it up."

Zhang Buyi hesitated a little. He really wanted to give the bow to Xiang Zhuang, but in the end he couldn't bear to say anything. He took the bow and walked outside the house. Not long after his son left, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The Qin State raised its army for five years."

One hundred thousand troops went south to the plains. The climate there is hot and humid, and all kinds of beasts live together. It is a place of all kinds of evil. I am afraid that if the Qin army defeats them this time, they will also suffer heavy losses."

Xiang Liang never thought that Zhang Liang would mention the affairs of the Qin State, so he could only laugh and said: "The First Emperor is carrying out large-scale construction projects, and the people are boiling with resentment. At this time, he is also raising troops to invade the south. I am afraid that the land in Guanzhong will be unsafe!"

The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly. Zhang Liang continued the topic and continued: "The Qin court has become increasingly obsolete and its harsh governance has made the people suffer deeply. People everywhere have the desire to restore the country.

It’s just that no one is advocating for it. If someone holds high the flag of righteousness, raises his arms and shouts, and thousands of people respond, can Qin still survive for a long time?”

Zhang Liang deliberately provoked this conversation to test Xiang Liang's future plans, but Xiang Liang did not answer Zhang Liang's words and only sighed: "It's a pity that Qin's national strength is still strong. No matter who takes the lead, there is only one result.

That’s a big defeat and death!”

Zhang Liang sighed softly, looked at Xiang Liang, and asked doubtfully: "I wonder what brother Xiang Liang has planned in the future?"

Xiang Liang had already guessed Zhang Liang's Xiao Jiujiu at this time. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, deliberately making a blank expression, and said helplessly: "We can no longer live in the land of Xixiang. As you know, brother Zhang Liang,

We are planning to move our family to Kuaiji and settle there, far away from Guanzhong. Maybe we can be safe."

What Xiang Liang said was extremely miserable, but Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Xiang Liang, why should you abandon yourself? I think the land east of the Yangtze River, far away from Guanzhong and blocked by the river, is a good place to make the country rich and prosperous!"

Zhang Liang's words were very similar to Cao Wujiu's original words, and he himself had thought so before. At this point, Xiang Liang could only laugh and said: "I am nearly forty years old, and I am afraid that I can't expect this in my life."

When that day comes, we can only place our hope on Yu'er and Zhuang'er's generation."

Seeing Xiang Liang being so negative, Zhang Liang felt a little unhappy in his heart, but did not show it on his face. At this time, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang Liang, you might as well wait and see. In my opinion, soon,

The Qin Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, groups from all directions will rise, the six kingdoms will be revived, the world will be in turmoil, and it is still unclear who will lead the ups and downs."

When Zhang Liang said this, he couldn't help but stand up. At this time, his blood was boiling, as if he had seen the future battlefield, and continued: "Brother Xiang Liang might as well accumulate strength in the east of the Yangtze River, recharge his batteries, eat hard work, wait and see the current situation in the world, and cross the Yangtze River.

, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat, so why worry about the Chu Kingdom not being able to thrive again?"

After hearing this, Xiang Liang applauded and nodded. Zhang Liang's analysis of the current situation was very thorough. In his words, Xiang Liang also heard Zhang Liang's ambition and revenge for reviving Korea. There was no longer the gap between them.

There was no need to be restrained. After a brief silence, Xiang Liang smiled and said: "In the future, no matter what the situation is, you and I should help each other and overcome difficulties together."

Zhang Liang raised his right hand and said with a smile: "We will overcome the difficulties together!"
