I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 19
That person was standing outside the tent, and the blurred outline of the figure was printed on the curtain by the sunlight.

After countless thoughts turned in his heart, Chen Luo responded first: "We are all inside, come in if you have anything to say."

"I met General Xiang, I met Chen Situ." The person who came in saluted respectfully.

After sizing up the other party calmly, Chen Luo vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be a close confidant of Chu King Xiong Xin.

Xiang Yu, who was interrupted to drink, was a little impatient: "Is there anything you can report during the usual business meetings."

The man shook his head and said, "General Xiang, I'm not here to report, but to convey the king's will to the two lords."

Sure enough.

The inferences I made in my mind before were not wrong.

Before this person came in and until now, he behaved rigidly and extremely formally. If he hadn't been delivering the message for King Chu, there was absolutely no need to be so cautious.

Chen Luo turned his head to comfort him: "Brother Yu, let him finish the matter first, and it won't be too late for us to drink again."

"Chen Situ, I'm afraid you can't drink this wine with General Xiang, and you need to stop drinking before sending troops." The man continued, "Wei Wang and Qi Wang sent messengers, saying that Qin soldiers are cruel, and hope we send troops to rescue..."

"I know all of this. Didn't uncle temporarily refuse?" Xiang Yu interrupted with a frown.

The man went on to say: "General Xiang, this is the reason why the Qin army came east. It was because the six countries were not united that the Qin army encroached and wiped out all the countries. We have to learn the lesson of blood and tears."

Xiang Yu put down the wine glass in his hand: "If you want to fight, you shouldn't fight now. It snowed a few days ago, the road is still slippery, and the weather is cold. How can the soldiers stand marching at this time? How can the supply of food and grass keep up?"

The man responded calmly: "General Xiang, I'm just here to convey the king's will. The king has decided to send troops to rescue Wei and Qi. As for the problems you raised, I believe you can overcome them."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Xiang Yu suddenly stood up and glared.

The man was startled and trembled: "Xiang... General Xiang, this is the king's order, and Lord Wu An also agreed to lead the army."

"Okay, we have received the decree, you should go back and reply first." Chen Luo issued the order to evict the guest.

"Yes, Chen Situ and General Xiang are leaving." He hadn't recovered from the fright, and his legs were still trembling slightly when he waved his hands to say goodbye.

After this person left, Chen Luo looked at Xiang Yu: "Sit down first. This person was sent by the king to deliver a message. If you scare him like this, be careful of how he will sue you when he goes back to the king."

Xiang Yu sat down, hehe sneered: "If you sue, just sue. Without our commanding troops, is it possible that the king himself went into battle to kill the Qin soldiers?"

"But this will is indeed a bit nonsense." Chen Luo rubbed the center of his brows.

Even if he is not an expert in military affairs, even if he has a little common sense, he can know that sending troops in winter is a taboo.

"Jiang Ning, the king seems to have other ideas of his own. It is not a good thing for the trouble to make another voice at this time." Xiang Yu spoke bluntly, then raised the ear cup in his hand, and drank the wine in it.

Chen Luo smiled and said: "This is really normal. What's more, there have been more and more people here in the past two months. Now Mrs. Xiang holds the absolute right to speak in the army, and many people want to gain more power, so they will naturally focus on Xiong Xin who sits in the highest position."

As the team continues to expand, there will naturally be more people with different ideas.

If you want to seize power from the Xiang family, the most compliant and quickest way is of course to submit to Chu Wang Xiongxin to do things.

Xiang Yu snorted coldly: "It's been so long since he became King of Chu that he can't recognize who he is? When my uncle wanted to make him King of Chu, I thought there would be trouble, and now it has come true."

"You can't say that." Chen Luo breathed out lightly, "Our territory has stabilized very quickly these days, and a large number of people have come to seek refuge. This is done by taking advantage of the king's reputation as the grandson of King Huai of Chu."

Acting under the banner of the king of Chu, they can justifiably take over the old land of Chu and avenge the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, during the two months when Xiong Xin became Queen of Chu, Chen Luo saw several famous figures in the history of the end of Qin Dynasty come.

For example, Chen Ping, who had met him a few days ago.

At that time, when he ran over to see him, his eyes seemed to recognize him, but the other party didn't come to talk to him, and Chen Luo also didn't take the initiative to point it out. He just sighed in his heart that the other party's memory is really good.

The person Chen Luo is still familiar with is Ying Bu, who often has a cold face because he was tortured by tattooing.

And he defected here with Wu Rui.

In history, Wu Rui was the first Qin official who responded to the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty. Later, when the Han Dynasty was established, he was named the King of Changsha.

The cold knowledge worth mentioning is that Wu Rui is the first outstanding figure with clear records in Jiangxi history.

However, Chen Luo felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to see Han Xin in the army, and he didn't know where this soldier fairy is now.

Regarding Chen Luo's statement, Xiang Yu thought for a moment and found that it was true.

He sighed: "Jiang Ningyou's words are indeed reasonable. It's just that the king has just issued this decree, and it is too difficult to carry it out. Unexpectedly, uncle has agreed."

In fact, Chen Luo was also a little puzzled by this.

Logically speaking, as a qualified general, Xiang Liang must be able to see that the rescue of Wei and Qi in the past and the challenge of the Qin army in the past are completely letting the opponent wait for work.

Xiang Yu put down the wine glass in his hand in a dispirited manner, and said, "Jiang Ning, I owe you this wine once. I have to ask my uncle what's going on."

"I'll go with you." Chen Luo also stood up.

The two walked to the main tent, where Xiang Liang was discussing the allocation of food and grass with the logistics officer.

Seeing the two people coming in, Xiang Liang asked the logistics officers to leave first, and then said: "I probably know why you are here, but you want to ask me why I agreed to send troops?"

"Yes. Uncle, it's very cold now. If you stick to the city and defend your homeland, the soldiers will still have fighting spirit. But if you rush to rescue other countries over a long distance, you will be hungry and cold all the way. It's really unpredictable." Xiang Yu dissuaded with a worried face.

Xiang Liang nodded: "Yu'er, what you said is indeed reasonable, but now that our morale is high and we are going to rescue our allies, the soldiers will not complain too much. What's more, the most important thing is that this is the king's will. As a general, it is natural to use the sharp sword in your hand to cut through the thorns in front of the throne."

Xiang Yu still wanted to continue talking, but Xiang Liang waved his hands and said, "Yu'er, this matter has been settled. You will lead the army alone when the time comes. This is an experience for you. You should be happy. Go out and get ready."

----

People at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty still retained the spirit of "a soldier should die for his confidant" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As the generals who led the army, they were loyal to their kings and were willing to be the king's pioneers to carry out even dangerous and unreasonable tasks.

This can explain why Xiang Liang, Lord Wu'an, who was the actual ruler of Chu at that time, still chose to lead the army after that completely unreasonable decree was issued. ——"Looking at History from Another Angle"
