I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 18 Drinking Chalcedony

Time is like a fast horse. When you hear the sound of it passing by your ears, you will find that it has passed you by.

With the first snow that fell at the end of the year, there was news that Chen Sheng was defeated by Wang Ben and was forced to abandon Chen County.

Not long ago, Tian Dan, who claimed to be the king of Qi in the land of Qilu, was also defeated by the Qin army and retreated to the Jiaodong Peninsula, where he was in danger.

As for the Zhao Wang Wuchen supported by Zhang Er and Chen Yu, he was even killed by his own people in the internal strife when the Qin army came over.

In short, the rebel army north of the Yellow River was in chaos, and was basically defeated by the Qin army like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, just like the replica of King Qin's sweep of Liuhe.

However, it was these people who shared most of the firepower of the Qin army, so Xiang Liang developed quite comfortably in Chu. The actual control areas included Kuaiji County, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, and most of Donghai County, almost holding the eastern part of Chu State and most of the Southern Chu area in his hands.

More importantly, in the middle of last month, Xiong Xin ascended the throne of King Chu and announced it to the world.

Although it doesn't matter who is sitting in the position of the king of Chu, it is very important whether there is a king of Chu.

at this time.

Inside a tent in Xiang Liang's army.

The interior decoration is minimal, except for the bed, there is only a small table.

Several boxes were placed on the ground, filled with bamboo slips, neatly placed together.

Xiang Yu walked into the tent with a jug of wine in one hand and a jug and two earcups in the other.

He smiled and shouted when he entered the door: "Brother Jiang Ning, I came to drink with you again. Hey, what book are you reading again?"

Chen Luo put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and replied with a helpless smile, "I can hear you coming over a hundred steps away."

Then he rolled up the bamboo slips on the table and said: "This is the "Shangshu", but it is just a fragment. These days, I searched for the ancient books that survived the burning of books in the city, but I found very little."

It is true that the first emperor burned the private collections of books. In "Zou Shi", an official historical material that records the ministers of the Qin Dynasty, it records the first emperor's intention to burn the private collections of books.

Both Sima Qian and Ban Gu have personally read and even studied this book.Therefore, the time and place recorded in the "Historical Records" about the burning of books, as well as the process of giving and issuing edicts during the discussion, are all in line with reality.

Of course, "pitting Confucianism" is usually combined with burning books, which is a complete slander of the first emperor.

Hearing that it was "Shangshu", Xiang Yu shook his head: "I don't understand these, my uncle wanted me to learn them from the very beginning, but I get dizzy after staring at them for a long time, and they are even more difficult to understand than the art of war."

"These Confucian classics are indeed difficult to understand. Only when countless people have poor experience can they understand the true meaning of one or two sages." Chen Luo smiled and changed the topic: "Tell me, what good wine did you bring today?"

It's winter now, and most of the battles have died down, so after Xiang Yu is free, he often finds himself to drink in this spare time, and Chen Luo is used to it.

"Today is a rare good wine. Qidi sake, named chalcedony. When the envoys sent by Tian Dan came to my uncle this afternoon, they sent ten jars, and I only want three jars." Xiang Yu laughed, filled the wine jug with wine, skillfully lit a small fire, put the wine jar on it, and used it to warm the wine.

"Only ten altars, Lord Wu An can give you three altars is not bad, otherwise, would he and the King of Chu want to drink?" Chen Luo rubbed his chin, instead of continuing to care about the wine, he asked instead: "Then I heard about Tian Dan, he came to Lord Wu An to ask for help, right?"

After Xiong Xin became King of Chu, Xiang Liang was named Lord Wu'an. The power in his hands has not changed, but the title has been raised to a higher level.

As for Chen Luo, he was named Situ, but he didn't need to worry about money and food.

"Jiang Ning is sure enough to guess everything right." Xiang Yu clapped his hands, then curled his lips in disdain, "That Tian Dan really made people laugh. He almost occupied Qilu's territory, but Qin Jun went over, and he never won once."

"I'm afraid General Xiang didn't agree to the request for support."

"Of course. It's freezing cold now, and it's impossible for uncle to send troops to rescue him. I hope he can survive this winter."

"Zhang Han, the leader of the army, should not be underestimated. First destroy Zhao, and then destroy Qi." Chen Luo reminded.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Han was able to lead the Qin army to fight after the world line changed, it was clear that Zhang Han's strength was still as strong as in history.

In addition, in history, Zhang Han could only lead the prisoner army and slaves to go out. Now the leaders are all the elites of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I am afraid that he has received a wave of epic reinforcements.

However, Chen Luo felt that he was worrying too much. There were only a handful of people in Qin Mo who could defeat Zhang Han, and this person in front of him was one of them.

"Qin's soldiers are brave and well-equipped. Unfortunately, most of the generals are useless. I can see the loopholes in the formation at a glance. After a few more charges, even the bravest soldiers will be defeated." Xiang Yu expressed his opinion without seeming to care.

Feeling that the wine was almost warm, he took the handle on the side and lifted the jug, and began to pour wine into the two ear cups.

After the wine was full, he handed one of the glasses to Chen Luo.

Taking the wine glass, Chen Luo smiled wryly: "Using such a tactic can be said to be unprecedented, and you are the only one who can do it."

With the ability to see the loopholes in the opponent's formation at a glance, it can instantly kill [-]% of the generals.

Not to mention personally leading troops into the battle to seize the enemy's loopholes. Before Xiang Yu, there was no precedent. After Xiang Yu, there are only a few people in history who can be as brave as this.

After Xiang Yu was praised, the corners of his mouth curved up: "Jiang Ning, you are too famous, but I am not as good as Le Yi and Wu Qi now, and I can't be regarded as a famous general through the ages. When I die in Qin Dynasty in the future, you will praise me like that again."

"Hahaha, there will be such a day." Chen Luo drank the wine in his glass and clicked his tongue, "This wine is not bad."

Limited by the brewing technology of this era, most of the wines are relatively cloudy and the alcohol content is not high.

The glass of "chalcedony" he is drinking now has a clear taste, with a hint of fruit wine from the previous life, and it is indeed a good product of this era.

It's just a pity that it will take more than 1000 years for peanuts to be introduced. Without them, eating other things will always feel a little tasteless.

Xiang Yu also drank all the wine in his glass: "I just said this wine is not bad, I only drank two glasses of the three jars of wine in advance, and I wanted to come and drink it with you."

After he finished speaking, he just poured himself another glass of wine.A figure appeared at the tent door, and said from outside: "Dare to ask Chen Situ, is General Xiang in?"

Looking at each other with Xiang Yu, Chen Luo had a strange feeling in his heart.

At this time, I came to find myself and Xiang Yu, and even formally called the official title. I am afraid that something happened.
