I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 112 Chen Luo's "First Time"

Xiang Yu did not rest for too long in Xianyang City.

Now that the world is turbulent and in a state of rapid change, those who want to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai will see all kinds of opportunities flowing through the cracks of their fingertips, and they are destined to become losers.

Only with keenness and courage to fight and attack can we have the last laugh.

Therefore, at this stage, it is by no means a lie that soldiers are expensive and fast.

It had been less than five days since Chen Luo arrived in Xianyang, and he hadn't even become familiar with his own mansion. Xiang Yu summoned him after the massacre, and said that he had finished his army and was ready to leave.

Upon learning of this news, Chen Luo said with a bit of astonishment: "Brother Yu conquered the Yong Kingdom less than ten days ago, and he is going to lead the army to go out again immediately. Is it a little too hasty?"

At any rate, the Yong Kingdom is a serious country, not bandits, nor is it a separatist force that pulls the hips. It is too light of you to leave Yongdi and conquer other countries without caring.

Xiang Yu waved his hand indifferently: "In the past ten days or so, I have killed [-] former members of the Yong Kingdom. How dare they have the heart of disobedience? Could it be that there are two heads around their necks?"

He looked at Chen Luo again and said with a smile: "What's more, isn't there Jiang Ning sitting behind the town?"

"Brother Yu is right." Looking at the other party who was quite reassured about himself, Chen Luo could only nod helplessly, and he couldn't say that he was "difficult to take on a big responsibility".

But listening to Xiang Yu's words, I feel that there is indeed some truth.

In less than half a month, more than ten thousand people were killed, and the number of people who could breathe in the old department of Yong Kingdom was reduced by a quarter. The remaining living people were all in a state of fear, fearing that one day Xiang Yu's halberd would hit them on the head.

Even if Xiang Yu leads his army to leave, part of the Chu army will remain in Xianyang.

Then Chen Luo only needs to have seven or eight thousand soldiers in his hands, forgive these old troops of the Yong Kingdom and dare not stir up trouble.

Having figured this out, Chen Luo went on to say, "In this case, I will be responsible for preparing food and grass and sitting in the rear. Presumably Brother Yu led the army to leave this time to clear the obstacles in the west and lay a stable foundation for leaving Guanzhong in the future."

Even though he is not sensitive in terms of military strategy, Xiang Yu's next strategic intention can be guessed without any effort.

In the land of Guanzhong, Zhai and Yong are all in the hands of Xiang Yu, so how can Cedi be alone in the rear?

Now Yingbu seems to be reluctant to retreat, that's because Xiang Yu is still in Guanzhong.

When Xiang Yu advances eastward, that Ying Bu will definitely attack arrogantly.

"That's right, Ying Bu betrayed me. Although I don't complain, it is impossible for me to forgive him generously." Xiang Yu, who was originally calm, turned cold.

Ying Bu's betrayal was not a small blow to him.

After all, among Xiang Yu's brave generals, Ying Bu's style is the most similar to his, so he has been carefully cultivated, even more important than Long Qie and Xiang Sheng.

If it weren't for the opposite example like Chen Luo, Xiang Yu felt that he might not have any trust in foreign people.

"Tattoo...he is not an easy opponent." Chen Luo pondered for a moment, "Brother Yu will go this time, and I will ensure the safety of the rear."

"He really understands my combat style very well, but the more he is like this, the less he dares to come out to fight me openly." Xiang Yu's eyes showed disdain, "So I will split up with Long Qi and Xiang Sheng. If he wants to use the tactics of sticking to delay time, then I will see how he separates himself and resists our two fronts."

Xiang Yu's tactics were not very complicated. He guessed that Yingbu would rely on the city to form a front.

Then the Chu army's attack needs to remove the strongholds from city to city, just like an old lady eating baked pancakes, unable to eat.

Ying Bu has the ability to block the frontal attack of the Chu army, but that doesn't mean his subordinates can too.

Then this is the reason for Xiang Yu's division of troops, leaving Ying Bu unable to do his best, and finally being pinched to death by both sides.

As for the combination of Long Qie and Xiang Sheng, there have been historical examples of defeating Ying Bu in a big battle. Chen Luo has no worries about their strength. If Ying Bu defends them alone, the result must be that Xiang Yu breaks through Cedi on the other side.

"Since Brother Yu is confident, I'm going to gather food and grass, and wait for the good news to come back." Chen Luo stood up and cupped his hands to say goodbye.

"Borrowing Jiang Ning's auspicious words." Xiang Yu nodded first, and then asked with some doubts, "What does it mean to be confident, can Jiang Ning clarify for me?"

Chen Luo was taken aback for a moment. The use of idioms in daily communication was completely unconscious behavior. He didn't think of this allusion until the Northern Song Dynasty and Su Shi recorded it.

However, his reaction was not slow, and he said nonsense: "In "Zhuangzi", it is recorded that a court painter of Lu State had a superb skill in painting bamboos, because he observed them day and night and kept their images in his mind.

So at the back, he can quickly draw a picture of bamboo on the silk without even facing the bamboo.

This kind of thing that I have full confidence in one thing in my chest, I call it confident, similar to Paodingjieniu. "

Suddenly, Xiang Yu nodded and said, "So that's what I mean, it's because I'm ignorant."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Chen Luo then resigned.

I didn't expect my first confession to be in this situation.

Well, he has never transcribed after time travelling.

One is that I am embarrassed to plagiarize other people's works, and the other is that I am afraid that my own copying will disrupt the timeline.

But in a strict sense, I put the story of being confident in "Zhuangzi", in a strict sense, it should not be regarded as my own copying.

Moreover, he prefers to get acquainted with those big names in the history of literature than copying the text. When the time comes, various aliases of himself will appear from time to time in the must-have books for elementary and middle school students in future generations.

This is no better than text copying!
Without thinking about it any more, Chen Luo put this matter behind him and concentrated on preparing food and grass.

Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was interested in "Zhuangzi" because of "Xiaoyaoyou", and silently kept the allusion of "being confident" in his heart, thinking that he would be able to be polite in front of the group of ignorant generals under him in the future.

Having a well-thought-out mind means that you must have the image of bamboo in your mind before painting bamboo.It is a metaphor to have a complete plan in mind before doing things.The source of the story of the idiom comes from a lost chapter in "Zhuangzi", and the first record in the existing literature is "Historical Records: The Family of the Marquis of Yangxia", which is frequently used in "Historical Records: The Family of King Wulie of Chu". ——"Modern Chinese Idioms Encyclopedia (Ninth Edition)"
