Competing

Chapter 37

The sun is shining brightly, the air is crisp in autumn, and the scenery of Zhenze with rippling blue waves is infinite.

Yin Xu looked up and saw a group of wild geese flying across the sky. It is said that flying geese is a good omen, and he is full of confidence in this trip to Wu County.Immediately thinking of Hongyan's passing on the letter, I can't help but miss Yuniang. I don't know where Yiren is?Can't help feeling sorry.

"My lord, we will arrive at the county seat of Wu County in ten miles!"

"Oh!"

A few days ago, Xiang Liang was fighting fiercely with Zhou Kang, and Yin Xu and Ying Bu led people to appear in the rear.Successfully attacked Zhou Kang's back road, burned countless food and supplies, and formed a two-sided attack with Xiang Liang.Zhou Kang was defeated and almost his entire army was wiped out.

Xiang Liang immediately sent people to invite them to Wu County to discuss the anti-Qin plan.So Yin Xu, together with Yingbu and Wu Chen, led 3000 people to come.As for Wu Rui, he stayed behind in Fanyi.

Not far away, a pavilion appeared in the field of vision. Yin Xu speculated that this might be the ten-mile long pavilion that the ancients often said! There were dozens of riders waiting here. Ears, strong body, appear gentle and steady.The man clasped his fists and said loudly: "I think there are three heroes, Ying Bu, Yin Xu, and Wu Chen!"

The three of Yin Xu exchanged glances with each other, dismounted and said, "That's right, but this heroic son doesn't dare to take it. Don't know what to do?"

The man said loudly: "In Xiajibu, I was ordered by General Xiang to welcome you all!"

Jibu?

Ji Bu promises a lot.

Ji Bu was a native of Chu, a general under Xiang Yu's command.He is very arrogant, loves to fight against injustices, is famous for keeping promises and keeping promises, and is very famous in Chudi.Therefore, the proverb "getting a hundred catties of gold is not as good as getting Jibu Yinuo" is widely circulated among Chu people.The idiom Yinuoqianjin came from him.

"So it's Brother Ji Bu, I've admired him for a long time!" Yin Xu bowed his hands and saluted.

Ji Bu felt a little flattered, and said with a smile, "Where is that? It's Yin Zhuang who led more than a hundred people against the Qin army, and wiped out four thousand Qin troops in an ambush by the river. Who doesn't know his reputation?"

"Brother Ji is amazing!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, led by Ji Bu, and walked towards the city.With tall city walls and a wide moat, Wu County is much more majestic than Fanyi.The street market is very bustling with people coming and going, because Kuaiji is a large county in the east of the Yangtze River, where it is prosperous.Yin Xu knew that this was the city of Suzhou in later generations, and there was a heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and it was already beginning to appear at this time.

There is another reason. This place was originally Gusu, the capital of the Wu Kingdom, and the cities were built on the basis of the capital, and the scale can be imagined.It is precisely because of this that Wu Chen, who is a descendant of the Wu royal family, has been deeply moved since he entered the city.Hundreds of years later, the state of Wu became history. When he, as a descendant of the king and grandson, set foot on this land, the feelings of his homeland once again ignited in his heart, and he sighed endlessly.

After a while, they came to the previous eunuch's mansion, and Xiang Liang led the crowd out to greet him.Listening to Ji Bu's introduction one by one, Yin Xu was very excited, seeing all the famous figures in history.I was lucky enough to see it, a very complicated feeling.

Xiang Liang was in his fifties, with a calm and elegant demeanor, inadvertently exuded, the style of a famous general and nobleman.The gray hair that is likely to be gray is the result of his recent exhaustion.The friendly smile welcomes everyone, and the enthusiasm is extraordinary, making it easy to get close to.

Behind Xiang Liang is a young man in his early twenties, and Yin Xu can almost identify him at a glance without any introduction.He is the legendary Overlord of Western Chu——Xiang Yu.Strong physique, tall and high-spirited, majestic and overwhelming, faintly exuding a frightening spirit.A pair of eyes are extremely determined and heroic, especially the unique pair of double pupils, which is his unique symbol.Although he is still young, even though he intends to be restrained, his gestures are faintly domineering.

Yin Xu, who was born in a soldier, may be the reason why heroes cherish heroes. He admires Xiang Yu, who is invincible and invincible.It's just that there are too many helplessness in the world, self-willed or other things, and finally Wujiang commits suicide, which makes people sigh.

Li Qingzhao once wrote a poem: "Be a hero in life, and a hero in death. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong."Du Mu also once said: Victory and defeat are unexpected in the family affairs, and it is a man who bears shame and shame.The children of Jiangdong are so talented, it is unknown if they will make a comeback.For some reason, seeing Xiang Yu for the first time, Yin Xu thought of this and felt a lot of emotion.

In this life, the appearance of the self who knows the history can change the tragedy of Xiang Yu's suicide in Wujiang, huh?Or are you willing to change?At this moment, in such a situation, some thoughts came to Yin Xu's mind.

Compassionate in his heart, but not revealing his expression on his face, he met Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew Shili.Yin Xu noticed that behind the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family stood an old man with white hair and white beard telling about the vicissitudes of the years. However, the old man had a ruddy complexion and a hale and hearty look, and his eyes shone with shrewdness and distance.

With a flash of inspiration in Yin Xu's mind, he knew the identity of this person—Yafu Fan Zeng, who else could there be besides him?Yingbo, Wu Chen and others didn't care about Fan Zeng's old age, but just saluted as respecting his elders.Yin Xu was different, he stepped forward to pay respects and bowed, sincerely convinced.This aging old man is not simple. As Xiang Yu's number one counselor, Fan Zeng, known as his father, should not be underestimated.It can be said that he is also the executive director of the big drama of Chu Han struggle for hegemony.

While Yin Xu was looking at Fan Zeng, Fan Zeng was also looking at him. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making him unconsciously avoid those intimidating eyes.When they met for the first time, Yin Xu learned how powerful Fan Yafu was.

Next came Xiang Bo and Xiang Zhuang. For these two people, Yin Xu's impression seems to be relatively flat.Xiang Zhuang's name in the history books seems to be only a short performance at the Hongmen Banquet, and the idiom "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong".Xiang Zhuang is not too young now, with fair skin and slightly elegant.But seeing him with a long sword hanging from his waist, full of heroic spirit, is not easy.

As for Xiang Bo, he looked like a modest gentleman, gentle and kind, but Yin Xu didn't have a good impression of him.Before the Hongmen banquet, he informed Liu Bang of the news, and at the banquet, he prevented Xiang Zhuang from killing Liu Bang, so that Xiang Yu missed a great opportunity and planted the root of the downfall of Western Chu.What's even more exasperating is that after Xiang Yu's death, Uncle Xiang seemed to have defected to the Han Dynasty and was given the surname Liu. I don't know how he felt?

Then came the generals under Xiang Liang's command. The first one was tall and mighty, but he was young but had a beard.Seeing Yin Xu and others was quite disdainful, with a very arrogant expression.After Ji Bu introduced him, he realized that this person was Xiang Yu's number one general, Long Qi.Zhou Da was a little annoyed, but was stopped by Yin Xu, who greeted him kindly.

In any case, Long Qie is indeed a rare warrior, and he has capital to be conceited.He is looked down upon by others today, but trying to make him admired by others is.Face is not earned by words, but by strength and practical actions.

After that came Zhongli Mo and Yu Ziqi, plus Long Qie, Ying Bu, and Ji Bu. These five were known as the five great generals of the Chu Army in history.He made great contributions to Xiang Yu's fight against the Qin Dynasty, but now that he has more himself, can he have a place in the talented Chu army camp?
Of course, the premise is that he has to stay in the Chu army. Thinking of Xiang Yu's ending, Yin Xu shook his head secretly.Looking at the portraits of the founders of the Western Chu Kingdom, Yin Xu thought a little more.
