My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 417: Faceless meets Mr. Jiangdong! This is the victory of the lower limit of morality!

In Xiang Yan's mind, his descendants are divided into two types.

One is Xiang Rong.

Second, there are other children.

Xiang Yan can be proud to say that Xiang Rong is his eldest son, his pride, the successor he chose for the Xiang family, and the offspring he is most satisfied with!

Now, the child that Xiang Yan was most satisfied with was running towards him staggeringly like a child who had not yet grown up.

Xiang Yan's heart ached and she hurriedly got off her horse.

But Xiang Yan almost fell to the ground due to her weak legs, which she had done countless times in the past.

"Master! Be careful!"

Xiang Guan hurriedly helped Xiang Yan, but Xiang Yan threw him away and walked towards Xiang Rong with his trembling legs.

"Rong'er! Rong'er!"

"Aweng!"

The strong man who was eight feet five inches (196cm) tall, with shoulders as broad as door panels, arms that could run a horse, a strong back and strong waist, and who defeated Su Jiao, now cried and threw himself into Xiang Yan's arms.

Under Xiang Rong's impact, Xiang Yan couldn't help but staggered back half a step, then hurriedly stood up and looked at Xiang Rong nervously: "My son, are you okay?"

Xiang Rong cried hoarsely: "My son is fine, Ran!"

"Nephew Liu died in battle! Brother Li died in battle! Uncle Beryllium died in battle..."

"Dead, they are all dead!"

"They protected Er and Brother Chuan with their lives and escaped, but only Er and Brother Chuan escaped!"

"Ah Weng, I am ashamed of my father Jiangdong! I am ashamed of my uncles and ancestors!"

Tears welled up from his eyes, making Xiang Rong's already dirty face even more ugly.

Xiang Rong, who used to pay great attention to aristocratic manners, ignored it and just cried louder.

"Son, you deserve to die!!!"

Many people cannot understand why Xiang Yan chose to commit suicide after his defeat.

Obviously, the Qin State never killed surrendered generals, and even reused many surrendered generals.

At that time, Chu State was already dead, and no one would hold Xiang Yan accountable. At most, Xiang Yan would be forced to move to Xianyang City.

When Xiang Yan committed suicide, it was only fourteen years before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, and only fifteen years before Xiang Liang's rebellion.

If Xiang Yan did not commit suicide, the pattern of Chu-Han struggle for hegemony would surely be rewritten!

Many people cannot understand why Xiang Yu also chose to commit suicide after his defeat.

Obviously he has the opportunity to cross Jiangdong and reunite his clan soldiers to fight for him. Even if he cannot make a comeback, he still has the opportunity to separate himself.

There are many reasons for this pair of grandparents to commit suicide.

One thing that cannot be ignored is Xiang Yu’s words before his defeat:

"My father and brother from the east of the Yangtze River are pitiful and king of me. How can I see them?" '

Yes, after the defeat, they really had no face to see Jiangdong's elders! ! !

Just like Xiang Rong now.

Unlike soldiers recruited from all over the country.

Clan soldiers are called soldiers, and the emphasis is on the clan.

The clan nephew who often hugged Xiang Rong's thigh when he was a child, spoke to his uncle in one mouthful, bared his teeth and begged Xiang Rong for maltose, died for Xiang Rong's charge.

The clan brother who followed Xiang Rong to dig out bird's nests and catch crabs, and who were both skipping school and being made to stand, died because of Xiang Rong's command error.

When Xiang Rong was a child, he often made toys for him, took him to learn to ride horses, and helped his uncle to speak kind words to him when he was scolded. He helped Xiang Rong block arrows and died.

The uncle who always taught him to read and study with a serious look on his face, but would also secretly give him a piece of dried meat as a snack, died because of Xiang Rong.

They are Xiang Rong's eight hundred tribesmen.

But they are Xiang Rong's 800 blood relatives!

They all died because of Xiang Rong!

How does Xiang Rong forgive himself?

Even if Xiang Rong forgives himself, what will be waiting for Xiang Rong when he returns home?

They were thousands of orphans and widows standing at the entrance of the village, their eyes full of anxiety!

They handed over their father, their brothers, and their children to Xiang Rong.

If Xiang Rong can bring back some merit, titles, fiefs, or any other benefits for them, Xiang Rong can feel relieved that their and their efforts are at least worth it.

But all Xiang Rong could bring home was eight hundred coffins and news of the defeat... No!

He couldn't even take home the coffins of some of his relatives!

Xiang Rong really doesn't know how he should face his grandmother, his aunt, and his sisters.

Xiang Rong didn't even know how he should face the group of nephews and nieces who were shaking his clothes and asking him for his father and grandfather!

Maybe someone can resist this inner condemnation, but that person is definitely not the descendants of the Xiang family, but Liu Bang!

"Snapped!"

Just as Xiang Rong's cries became louder and louder, a crisp slap sounded.

Xiang Rong's head suddenly swung to the right, causing his body to stumble, causing Xiang Rong to almost fall to the ground.

Xiang Yan, who looked heartbroken just now, had already loosened her arms holding Xiang Rong, and was retracting her right palm angrily.

Holding his red cheeks, Xiang Rong felt no pain, but looked at Xiang Rong desperately: "Ah Weng! Er Cuo..."

"That's enough!" Xiang Yan shouted angrily: "Nai Gong (your father) is deceased!"

Xiang Rong hurriedly shook his head: "I will live a long and prosperous life!"

Xiang Yan's scolding voice became more and more fierce: "Then these are not things you should think about."

"My descendants of the Xiang family are willing to fight on the battlefield, all because they are noble!"

"My descendants of the Xiang family are hiding in Dahong Mountain, and this is also the order of Nai Gong!"

"The leader of this clan is still Naigong!"

"You are so obsessed with this today. Could it be that you are determined to seek the position of head of the clan?"

Xiang Rong shook his head hurriedly: "I never meant this!"

Xiang Yan shouted in a serious voice: "In that case, these matters should be left to Nai Gong." "It's not your turn to cry endlessly!"

"Now, return to the team!"

Compared with Xiang Yan, Xiang Rong is lucky.

Compared with Xiang Yu, Xiang Rong is also lucky.

Because Xiang Yan and Xiang Yu were already clan leaders and had no father when they were defeated, they could only bear all the consequences themselves. When they couldn't bear the consequences, they would choose the easier way to commit suicide.

But when Xiang Rong was defeated, Xiang Yan was still alive.

Even if he never sees Jiang Dong's father again, Xiang Yan, the old father, will help Xiang Rong withstand all the pressure for the sake of his son!

Xiang Rong said anxiously: "But, Aweng, this defeat is..."

Xiang Yan glared angrily: "In the army, you should be called your duty!"

"Now, I will order you to return to the team!"

Under Xiang Yan's repeated shouts, Xiang Rong was directly trained from a son to a grandson.

The tall and brave man did not dare to say anything. He could only stand timidly behind Xiang Yan and said in a low voice: "Wei."

In order to prevent Xiang Rong from thinking too much, Xiang Yan suppressed the grief and distress in his heart and stopped talking to Xiang Rong. Instead, he solemnly bowed his hands to the twenty-five generals and said, "I am ashamed of all the generals!"

Jingchou and other generals responded slowly and hastily.

Jingchou said bitterly: "It's not that the Shangzhu Kingdom has failed to trust the last general, but that the last general has failed to trust the Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Xiang Yan shook her head: "Now is not the time to talk about this."

"The Qin army is still on the east side of our army, and we don't know when they will pursue us."

"Generals, please enter the tent first and tell the generals about the battle."

Qu Ou said in a hoarse voice: "I'd rather trouble Lieutenant Xiang to explain the story of this battle."

"The lamp has run out, please allow me to take a bath and rest first."

Qu Ou's request sounds reasonable at first glance, and many humane generals would agree.

But Xiang Yan sternly refused: "No!"

"This is a military order!"

"Generals, please join the army immediately!"

It's not that Xiang Yan is unkind.

But Xiang Yan knows very well that when people are running for their lives, they only think about how to survive.

But after being saved, you will think about what you will face after living.

The pressure on Xiang Rong was also the pressure on Qu Ou and other generals from all ethnic groups.

This battle is already tragic enough. Xiang Yan cannot let more generals die in this battle!

Under Xiang Yan's strict request, the twenty-six defeated generals walked into the Chinese army's tent covered in smoke and dirty faces. Jingchou carefully narrated the battle.

After listening, Sun Xing couldn't help but ask: "During the pre-war meeting, Shangzhu State said that the Qin army was likely to send partial troops to Dahong Mountain, and ordered Vice General Jing's department to send more scouts."

"A few days ago, Shangzhu Kingdom sent messenger troops to Dahong Mountain again, emphasizing once again sending more scouts."

"Whether it is based on what Vice General Jing said or based on the judgment of our army so far in the battle, it can be determined that the Qin army going to Dahongshan is the main force. It has more troops and is easier to detect."

"But why did Vice General Jing's headquarters only discover the Qin army's movements after the Qin army set fire to it?"

This confusion lingered in the hearts of all the generals of the Chu army and could not be solved for a long time.

Because the bottom line and lower limits of war ethics restricted the imagination of the Chu army generals.

They could think of all the arrangements Ying Chengyu had made to avoid being exposed.

But they never expected that Ying Chengyu would let the scouts pretend to be refugees and merchants!

Just like Guan Yu could not imagine that Lu Meng would let his soldiers dress up as merchants and cross the river in white.

This is not a contest of IQ and military strategy, but a battle of moral bottom lines!

However, after the defeat, Jingchou obviously had a bit of a bad attitude.

Since I couldn't figure it out, I stopped thinking about it and directly raised my hand to Xiang Yan: "Relying on the advantageous location of Dahong Mountain and getting orders from Shangzhu State to explore the surrounding areas, our troops failed to detect the movements of the Qin army, and were instead set on fire by the Qin army. Sneak attack."

"After the fire broke out, the general hesitated more, rejected Captain Xiang's advice, and insisted on breaking out from the southwest."

"We just caused such a disastrous defeat!"

"General, you should die to apologize!"

Qu Ou and other twenty-five generals also handed over their hands:

"The last general just wants to die!"

Xiang Yan looked at the generals with slightly closed eyes: "General, I ordered it."

"The policy is decided by the general."

"The location was chosen by me."

"The primary responsibility for the defeat of this battle lies with this general."

"Are you asking me to die with you all?!"

Jingchou and other generals hurriedly raised their hands and saluted: "Don't dare!"

"The final general is just..."

However, before they finished speaking, Xiang Yan angrily shouted: "The battle is not over yet, why are you asking for death?"

"Could it be that I want to give Qin a victory for nothing!"

"This general will still have to fight the Qin army, and we, the Chu army, still need to win this battle!"

"Wipe away your tears, we don't have time to grieve!"

Xiang Yan tapped the wooden stick in his hand on the map of Kun and said solemnly: "Qin Chang'an entered Dahong Mountain with the main force, which exposed his cowardice in not wanting to fight our army on the water!"

"From this, Lord Qin Chang'an is likely to lead his army directly to Echeng and cut off the Yangtze River to cut off our army's supplies."

"The most important thing now is to break this dilemma!"
