My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 484 A gentleman’s name dies
There was an uproar in the army for a while.

The soldiers originally held swords and were willing to make a living in the military camp. After all, many years of life experience have told them that this world is either a wolf's den or a tiger's mouth, and there are countless disasters and dangers wherever they go.

Therefore, smart and honest people have learned to be patient and learn that suffering is a blessing.

Because there is no other way.

But when it was heard that even Xiang Yan's son was missing, the army suddenly fell into chaos.

"The general's second son is gone, why are we still here?"

The young soldiers became restless. Of course, you can eat if you stay here, but Xiang Liang has escaped, which means that something more terrifying than not being able to eat is coming.

The soldiers didn't dare to openly say what they didn't want to fight, but they were always looking around.

They looked left and right, fearing that someone would escape behind their backs.

In the past, there were always people who were unwilling to patrol because they had to go around half of the military camp and back and forth, which was meaningless.

"Judging from this situation, the general has probably prepared for the worst."

"Okay, what has happened has happened, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. The first priority is to clean up the current mess. If it is really a broken jar, then it was Prince Qin's trick."

Not long after he said this, Xiang Yan summoned all the generals that afternoon.

When everyone heard this, they immediately agreed, "That's what I mean too. I heard that most of the nobles from the five countries abandoned the city early and fled. In fact, this is a wise move."

Xiang Yan's words were like the sound of a bell at dusk. Although it was loud, it was destined to be trapped in the dark night.

Xiang Yan saw that except for the legendary three generals, all the other generals from the family had arrived. Everyone was silent, sitting in their seats and looking at the case.

"Yes, if we all die, who will avenge Chu in the future. With Qin's system and King Qin's ambition, will the war stop? Snakes swallow elephants. I'm afraid that King Qin won't be able to eat in the end and his stomach will burst. ah!"

But Sun's general said, "If you ask me if you can't defeat me, then surrender first. As long as you are alive, anything is possible. What's the use of fighting the Qin army now!?"

"A man is born in heaven and earth. Although he is defeated, he should make the Qin army pay the due price; even if he dies, he should die well."

This time, even the veterans could not help but say:

It's just that none of these noble generals are willing to stand up and confess their mistakes.

"I understand Xiang Liang's character. If it weren't for the general's order, how could he have the heart to abandon his father? But I know the general's character better. If he didn't really think about the Chu country, if he wasn't a true noble queen, How can the general persist until now? Did he come to lead the army just to become a general? "

After a long time, no one spoke. The wine in the bartender in the lobby exuded a mellow aroma, but no one was in the mood to drink.

The thoughts of the young soldiers were naturally clearly seen by the commanders and veterans of each army.

When these people heard Xiang Yan's words, almost none of them had any reaction.

The veterans were all hunched over and silent, with dazzling scars on their faces and hands, like tiny vines, randomly wrapped around their arms.

The generals came to Xiang Yan, and everyone sat around a mat.

They saw clearly Xiang Yan's military capabilities and knew clearly who was wrong.

But things are different now. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere.

Of course, Xiang Yan did not pursue the past matters anymore.

This time, the generals' voices were not so high.

Everyone said.

At this time, Xiang Yan's weather-beaten face was flushed. He suddenly smiled and waved to everyone.

"You're right, you're right!"

When everyone heard Xiang Yan say this, they immediately felt very satisfied.

"We should have been like this a long time ago." "This battle should never have been fought in the first place."

"Actually, the most important thing is to retain our strength for the purpose of reviving the Chu Kingdom in the future."

Xiang Yan still smiled and said, "The hearts of the generals and soldiers are shaken. If we continue to fight with Qin, there is no possibility of victory."

"But I also know that some soldiers still know the responsibilities they should bear as generals, fathers and husbands. Some will leave, and some will stay."

"Of course, I don't want to ruin the chance of Chu State's revival in the future. After thinking about it, it would be better to order some soldiers to retreat in advance before the Qin army notices."

Everyone became quiet after hearing this.

"We must let those men who have no extra brothers at home go home. Otherwise, if there are no men in the family, orphans and widowed mothers will be bullied. Do you have any objections?"

All the generals shook their heads.

Xiang Yan added, "Secondly, if only one lineage of each clan is left, it must be allowed to return home on its own. Do you all agree?"

Everyone nodded.

"Three things, anyone who is unwilling to follow me, Xiang Yan, to cover the retreat of the soldiers, who is timid and afraid of death, is not allowed to leave during the day."

After Xiang Yan finished speaking, he grabbed a bottle of wine on the table and drank it all.

This time, he didn't ask everyone if they agreed or not, he just gave the order.

When all the generals heard this, their faces looked as if they were covered with dust.

"Okay! I've finished everything I want to say today."

Xiang Yan raised her head and touched her bulging belly happily.

Everyone looked at Xiang Yan and called out one by one, "General, if this is the case, not many people in the army will be willing to stay?"

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, there must be."

Everyone sneered, "General, you overestimate the soldiers and generals under your command."

Xiang Yan was as calm as water, "I'll stay."

Everyone sat still, but their pupils suddenly trembled.

That's it for today's meeting. If you have to drink too much, just take it back to your tent.

Everyone had a look of shame on their faces.

"General, please allow me to honor you with a knighthood."

Long's general stood up first, Xiang Yan said with a smile in his eyes, "Okay!"

The two drank together.

Afterwards, the generals of the Yu family and the Xiong family toasted to Xiang Yan.

After the generals drank wine, as soon as they went out, they all had tears in their eyes, or they felt as if their intestines were being slowly twisted by scissors, slowly...
-
From this day on, the Chu army fell into unprecedented silence.

Although Fusu was in bed and learned about Li Xin's occupation of Shouchun, he did not take it lightly.

After all, the man opposite Xiang Yan was the man who once faced Wang Jian's 600,000 and persisted until the last moment to commit suicide.

He's definitely a worthy opponent.

Fusu frequently sent people to collect information among the Chu army, and the information he received naturally made him frown.

"Reporting to the prince, the Chu soldiers in the city father's city fled home one after another at night. Their soldiers who defended the city also turned a blind eye."
