Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 249 The Unwilling Xiang Yu

Chapter 249 The Unwilling Xiang Yu

Just when Li Xinying was defending Jicheng, the loyalty of the Xiang clan in the south also became restless.

Daqin Jiujiang County has a total of [-] counties, including the intersection of the four provinces of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu in later generations.And Shouchun, the governor of Jiujiang County, is Shouying, the capital of the former Chu State.

Relying on his own appeal, Wu Rui controlled Jiujiang, Guilin, and Xiangjun one after another, and then tried to pry the team of the Xiang clan.

Relying on his own bravery, Xiang Yu frightened those half-hearted courtiers, and then combined with Fan Zengyi, using Xiang's influence in the old land of Chu, to recruit talents, the speed even surpassed that of Yingbu who conquered the city and plundered the land.In addition to the [-] Jiangdong soldiers trained by Xiang Yu himself, heroes from all Jiangdong counties have come to vote in recent days, and Xiang Yu has nearly [-] soldiers in just a few days.

Unlike Zhang Er and Zhao Miao, Xiang Yu took the route of elite soldiers, and all the soldiers he recruited were elite.In this way, although the soldiers of the Great Chu were not as good as other forces, it also preserved the power of the people in Kuaiji.

While Zhang Er and others were making trouble in the Central Plains, they recruited craftsmen scattered among the people to start making armor and weapons, and at the same time comprehensively trained the army.

When Xiang Yu thought that the strength of Chu State was slowly recovering, he got the news that Zang Tu had restored Yan State.

It was indeed beyond Fan Zeng's expectation, but it reminded the father and son.

Now including the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, and some people who are still hiding in the dark want to overthrow the giant Qin that is pressing on everyone's heads, and share the fat of the Great Qin.

And the fat is only so big, how to let the Xiang clan get the biggest piece in the upcoming feast of carve up, was placed in front of Xiang Yu.Obviously, the strategy of keeping a low profile is no longer appropriate.

Of course, they didn't know that the situation in Liaodong was constantly changing at the moment, and they also didn't know that Zang Tu had been beaten so hard that he had no room to fight back.

"Go and call the general!" Fan Zeng ordered, and the guards at the door bowed and turned to leave.

"Slow! Go and invite the three patriarchs Zhao, Qu, and Jing! Just say that the general is here!" Fan Zeng thought for a while and called the guard to stop him.

"Here!"

After a while, Xiang Yu came first.

"What do you want Yu'er to tell me?" Xiang Yu came in and bowed to Fan Zeng.

"Wu Rui must solve it!"

Although Fan Zeng's words are simple, the matter here is not simple.

"Yafu, please give me the order." Xiang Yu replied very simply when he heard that there was a battle going on.

"Okay! Father Ya wants my nephew to lead eight thousand Jiangdong elites as the vanguard of the former army, and Ling Yin to lead an army of [-] troops as the central army, and first recover Shouying, the old capital of our Chu Kingdom."

"Boy, I would like to obey Yafu's order! It's just Yafu, we all lead the army to the north, what will happen to the hometown of my Xiang family in Jiangdong?" Xiang Yu said worriedly.

"You don't have to worry, Yu'er. I've already asked the three chiefs of the Zhao family, Qu family, and Jing family first. When the army goes north, the Jiangdong land will be guarded by these three clans!" Fan Zeng said with a smile .

"Why is this? My child thinks it's inappropriate! The wolves of the three clans are ambitious, and their ancestors were at the mercy of my Xiang clan all the time. Now it is the utmost righteousness for my Xiang clan to take in these three clans. Hand over to these three clans? My boy intends to let my uncle lead his own army to stay in Wuzhong, and Yuer only needs [-] Jiangdong elites under his command to take Shouying!" Xiang Yu said roughly.

Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu, who was blushing anxiously, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "How can I not know the hearts of the three clans? It's just that today is different. Now the remnants of the six countries are rising together, and the officials of Qin are also rebelling against Qin. There are no such heroes in the world, but my Xiang family may be alone in the end. The roots of these three families in our Chu land are far deeper than my Xiang family, and the roots of my Xiang family are all in the army. Now our army Initiation requires the power of the three clans!"

Unlike other countries, the family of Chu State is far more complicated than other countries.

Except for the Xiang family, the other three major families are all branches of the ancient Chu royal family.The Xiang family seems powerful, but after all, it cannot be compared with the three old families of Zhao, Qu, and Jing in Chu State.

The Zhao, Qu, and Jing families are all branches of the ancient Chu royal family, with deep and intertwined roots, not only have a vast land, but also always dominate the court.

The three aristocratic families who have been in power for many years have divided up all the power in the court of Chu State, even the King of Chu is helpless.

The Zhao clan generally controls the power of Ling Yin and governs state affairs; most of the Qu clan are Mo Ao, who control the military and political affairs of the Chu royal family;

After the fall of Chu State, Da Qin massacred most of the aristocratic families of Chu State, and because Xiang Yan was the general of Chu State at that time, the Xiang family was the target of Da Qin's severe attack, trying to kill them all.However, the Xiang family escaped.

Although the Zhao, Qu and Jing clans suffered heavy losses as well, Daqin did not take the attitude of exterminating them like the Xiang clan.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The foundations of these three aristocratic families in Chu for hundreds of years cannot be completely uprooted overnight. The three clans have been licking their wounds all the time.

After Xiang Yu raised his troops, the three clans came to him soon after they got the news.Xiang Yu was well aware of the idea of ​​the three clans joining forces, but he knew even better that it was impossible for the Xiang clan alone to defeat Daqin.

The Xiang clan needs the contacts and wealth accumulated by these three clans in Chu for hundreds of years, and the Zhaoqujing clan also needs the military strength of the Xiang clan.The two sides tacitly agreed, and naturally got along harmoniously.

But in many important official positions, Xiang Yu still tried every means to restrict the three major families. After all, strictly speaking, Xiang Yan's death, and even the demise of Chu State, were inseparable from them.

Even though Xiang Yu knows that there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.But he also didn't want to see the strength of the three clans continue to grow, so that they could threaten him.

When Xiang Yu heard Fan Zeng's words, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't find any words to refute Fan Zeng, so he grunted but didn't speak.

Report to the military division!The three Patriarchs have all arrived in the mansion and are waiting in the lobby right now! "A personal guard came in to report.

Fan Zeng waved his hand to let the guards back down, and told Xiang Yu who was dissatisfied: "The elders of the three clans have arrived, so Yu'er will go with Yafu to meet each other, don't say what you said earlier. The Father made his own claim."

"Yu'er obeys!" Xiang Yu was no longer reluctant in his heart but still obeyed Fan Zeng's words, and bowed to his orders.
