Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 448
In Xiang Liang's view, the current Qin court is in an era of inadequacy.

Generals of the older generation such as Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Wang Jian, and Wang Ben have all passed away.

As for the current Qin Ting, only Meng Tian can hold the table. As for Wang Li, he can't get away in the north.

In detail, Qin Ting actually has few generals who can fight now.If they charge forward, there are still a few candidates.

For example, Yingbo, who was just named Marquis a few years ago, is indeed a ruthless person.

But if he was to be the commander of one side and fight everywhere, Xiang Liang felt that only one Meng Tian would be qualified.

And will Meng Tian be sent out?
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang couldn't help but think of that little boy Fusu, after all, he was young.

Even though Meng Tian had a good relationship with Fu Su before this, but once Fu Su succeeds to the throne, Meng Tian will belong to the old courtier after all.

Moreover, he is an old courtier with a high position. If such a courtier makes military exploits again and again, where will he be the emperor of Fusu?
Therefore, Xiang Liang thought that Fusu wanted to use it, but he didn't dare to use a pawn like Meng Tian.

As for Zhang Han who was dispatched, Xiang Liang didn't take it seriously. After all, in Xiang Liang's view, Zhang Han was just a young man who was around Fusu, and he had only a half-knowledge about military affairs.

The reason why he was able to lead the army was only because he was Fusu's confidant!

As for Zhou Wen's defeat to Zhang Han, the reason is even simpler!Others don't know Zhou Wen's details, so Xiang Liang still doesn't know?
It's just that he spent a period of time in his father Xiang Yan's army camp, so in terms of real talent and learning, he didn't have it at all.

In all fairness, Xiang Liang believed that it was possible for him to defeat Zhou Wen if he changed places.

As for Zhang Handong's departure from Hangu Pass, this was exactly as Xiang Liang expected.

This is also the reason why Xiang Liang chose to hold back when he clearly had strength.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Since Chen Sheng raised the banner of anti-Qin and made the No. 1 killing and tyranny of Qin, there is no doubt that he is the first person who will be taken care of by the Qin army.

This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times.

If I take the lead and become No. 1 in this war against Qin, it's not impossible, but at that time, the Qin army will have to deal with me!
In this way, how can we talk about restoring the state of Chu and achieving princely hegemony?
Xiang Liang twitched his beard lightly. If Chen Sheng and his gang were wiped out by the Qin State, then he would be able to fight for the next leader of the anti-Qin alliance.

At this moment, a gray-haired old man rushed in with a cane outside the door.

Seeing the person coming, Xiang Liang showed a respectful look, bowed his hands and said: "Mr. is old, and it is difficult to move. If there is anything, please let the junior come and let me know. Xiang Liang will definitely go to listen to the teacher's teachings."

Fan Zeng's face softened when he heard this.

Speaking of which, since meeting Xiang Liang, they hit it off quite well, and soon Fan Zeng decided to work for Xiang Liang.

He was almost seventy years old, and speaking of it, he didn't have a good few years to live.

However, as a native of Chu, he has always been thinking about the state of Chu. Now that he heard that Chen Sheng had raised his troops, and the heroes of the world responded, Fan Zeng couldn't bear his restless heart.

"Has the general heard the news?" Fan Zeng held the information in his hand and handed it to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang glanced briefly and nodded, but Fan Zeng immediately made a conclusion: "Chen Sheng must lose."

Xiang Liang couldn't help feeling suspicious. Although he wasn't very optimistic about Chen Sheng, he was not as decisive as Fan Zeng.

And Fan Zeng's assertion must have its basis.

"Please enlighten me, sir." Xiang Liangxuan introduced Fan Zeng into the table, and then sat down on the main seat.

"Chen Shengbai should be taken for granted." Fan Zeng's eyes were dim, but his conclusion was extremely confident and decisive. His hatred is also the deepest."

"To this day, many people in Chu still deeply miss King Huai of Chu who was unjustly killed. Therefore, the prophecy "Although there are three families in Chu, the death of Qin will lead to Chu" is justified."

Fan Zeng paused slightly, with a look of contempt on his face, and said: "The reason why Chen Sheng must lose is that he only saw short-term benefits and ignored long-term development."

"After Chen Sheng captured Chen County, he became impatient to proclaim himself king. He didn't concentrate on attacking Qin to the west, and he didn't make the king of Chu king. In this way, his selfishness was exposed. How can a force full of hatred help him?"

"But Chen Sheng rose up and raised the anti-Qin banner No. 1. Qin must hate Chen Sheng to the bone. In this way, there is no power to help, and there is a strong target for Qin. How can this Chen Sheng be undefeated?"

"Even if Chen Sheng can survive by luck, it's not a worry."

After listening to the words, Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and felt that he had learned a lot.

"Please teach me, sir." At this time, Xiang Liang sincerely asked for advice like a student.

Fan Zeng didn't hold back his airs and said, "If the general wants to continue to increase his strength, there is a way."

Xiang Liang was sitting upright at this time, with an attitude of listening attentively. Fan Zeng said, "General, have you ever thought about why the general crossed the river and came to Pengcheng, and the generals and Erlang from Chu kept coming to join him?"

Xiang Liang frowned slightly, but he hadn't thought about this question.

Seeing such a scene before, he was happy about it for a while.

Fan Zeng explained: "At that time, because the Xiang family had been the generals of the Chu army for generations and had a deep foundation, they were very popular in Chu."

"Now that the general is raising the banner of rebellion, the people are naturally willing to follow the general, hoping to restore the state of Chu."

"General, you might as well follow the people's thoughts and support the descendants of the king of Chu to be king. In this way, the people in this Chu land will definitely follow the news, and they will reverence and admiration for you, general."

"The descendants of the King of Chu?" Xiang Liang thought for a while, and immediately understood the joints, but Xiang Liang still had a layer of concerns.

It would be fine if the person he found was a descendant of the king of Chu who had little influence. At that time, the king of Chu would be a marionette in his hands, but if there was a lot of power behind him, it would undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house.

"Sir, when the Qin State destroyed our country of Chu, the descendants of the King of Chu were scattered among the people. They don't know if they are alive or dead. I'm afraid it's hard to find them!"

Fan Zeng immediately understood what Xiang Liang was worried about, and immediately said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, General, I have already found an excellent candidate in my heart."

"Oh?"

Fan Zeng got up and came to Xiang Liang's ear, whispered a few words, and a smile appeared on Xiang Liang's face, obviously very satisfied with what Fan Zeng said.
