The boy, who is actually only fourteen years old but has grown to eight feet tall, has his eyes wide open, and his left and right eyes are extremely strange, with two pupils each!
Xiang Liang traveled all over the country to prepare for the restoration of Chu. As his uncle, Xiang Liang looked into these two eyes and felt a chill in his heart and felt uneasy all over.
There has been a legend of double pupils in China since ancient times. According to historical records, there were three people before Xiang Yu.
The first one is Shun, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
Shun, as the leader of the tribal alliance in the late patriarchal clan society, was the earliest recorded person with double pupils. It is precisely because of double pupils that he was named Chonghua.
The second person is Cangjie, the ancestor of writing who invented writing, causing rice to rain from the sky and ghosts to howl at night.
The "Huainanzi" organized and compiled by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, finally contains: In the past, Cangjie wrote books, and the sky rained millet, and the ghosts cried at night.
The third one is Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Historical records record that Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, had double pupils, and even his ribs were different from those of ordinary people and were connected into one piece.
In the early days, he traveled around and wandered around. After nineteen years of wandering, he returned to the country, killed Duke Huai and established himself. After that, he served as the six ministers of the three armies, served the king in Luoyi, defeated the Chu army in Chengpu, allied with the princes in Jiantu, and founded the Jin Dynasty for a hundred years.
of dominance.
Of the three people with double eyes in front, two are kings and one is a saint.
Xiang Chaoxijun, the eldest son of King Wu'an of Chu, Xiang Yan, had just given birth to Xiang Yu. The news that Xiang Yu, like Shun, Cangjie and Chong'er, was born with double pupils, instantly spread to the upper echelons of the Chu state, and the King of Chu went to see it in person overnight.
At that time, the Qin army was overwhelming, and the King of Chu was worried day and night. When he saw Xiang Yu's appearance, he burst out laughing, thinking that the Chu Kingdom would usher in a saint like Cang Jie.
Even when Li Xin attacked Chu with an army of 200,000 and Xiang Yan defeated him, when the King of Chu conferred Xiang Yan the title of Lord Wu'an, he hugged Xiang Yu and praised with great joy: "This has the power of double pupils!"
Later, Wang Jian's 600,000-strong army attacked Chu, and Xiang Yan was defeated and died. His eldest son, Xiang Chao, who joined the army with his father, was also massacred by Wang Jian, and Chu was destroyed.
The last order given by the King of Chu was not to surrender or to resist desperately, but to kill all Chu people who knew Chong Tongzi except the Xiang family.
"You are not only our hope for the revival of the Xiang clan, but also our hope for the restoration of the Chu Kingdom!"
Xiang Liang put his hands on his nephew's shoulders with strong force to emphasize that he was extremely serious.
"Anyone can die, but you cannot die. You are destined by fate. Your divine power is a gift from God!"
Bang~
The fourteen-year-old boy looked dissatisfied and was about to say something else when the door of the house was pushed open with great force.
Huan Chu, who had a beard and looked much stronger than the round-faced and fat-bellied Xiang Liang, who looked like a fierce general, broke in through the door and urged impatiently:
"Can you leave yet?"
The two of them went to Yingdu this time, shouldering a huge responsibility.
In less than two months, too many things have happened, so much that Xiang Liang, who took over the power of Chu State, felt a little overwhelmed.
After the rumor about the Qin and Chu family's marriage in Yingdu spread last time, Xiang Liang almost gave up that area.
This was not a simple ballad to defeat him, but Xiang Liang saw Qin's policy change from it.
Compared with force, Xiang Liang is definitely no match.
His father, Xiang Yan, was responsible for the entire Chu army, but he could not defeat the Qin general Wang Jian, and died in hatred. Xiang Liang knew that the art of war was far behind his father's, and the descendants of Chu who could be relied on were far behind those of the huge Chu state.
Therefore, Qin did not dare to confront the enemy head-on.
He originally wanted to use the Qin State's characteristic of emphasizing military power over other things to create trouble in the Chu region to divide the Qin people and the Chu people.
For example, they made up ballads to exaggerate the tragedy of the implementation of Qin's laws, took the lead in recalling the romance of Chu State, and mobilized shamans trusted by Chu State to create the idea that Qin's violence would be solved.
Qin has always been too lazy to do these little tricks. Qin is a country that will only think of other ways if it cannot defeat it.
For example, only when Wang Jian was unable to attack Li Mu did he ask the political advisors to weaken him and implement counterintuitive tactics. Only when the five kingdoms could not defeat him together did he ask the famous Yao Jia to send an envoy to drive a wedge between the five kingdoms.
As long as force can solve the problem, Qin will fight. And in the eyes of Qin, Yingdu, which was conquered, is obviously not a place that cannot be defeated.
The plan was originally implemented well, but unexpectedly, the Qin State, which only knew how to suppress, suddenly started to play with public opinion.
Xiang Liang asked Wei Liao, whose fiefdom was in Kuaiji County, who had spoken. Wei Liao said he didn't know.
What Xiang Liang was able to accomplish before was that the Qin State did not play these things, but now the Qin State also plays these things.
Xiang Liang was well aware of his ability, and knew that doing this kind of thing secretly would never be better than the Qin State who stood in the open. Moreover, the person who made suggestions for the King of Qin did not know who he was and could not alienate him, so he decisively gave up temporarily.
In less than a month, the words "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind" spread to Kuaiji County, and Xiang Liang, who was a descendant of a great nobleman of Chu State, became furious.
Witchcraft is prevalent in Chu State, and Chu people believe in witchcraft. Witchcraft in Chu State have always been bound to nobles. For example, Qu Yuan, the Sanlu doctor who wrote "Li Sao", was a great witch.
The popularity of aristocratic theory in the Chu State was much greater than that in the Qin State where twenty-first-class military merit was achieved.
Although the words "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind", although it seems to have no impact on Xiang Liang for the time being, Xiang Liang thinks that it is only a matter of time before an outbreak occurs.
These eight words are like a seed buried under the soil, which will one day sprout, bloom, and bear fruit. Once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. This saying is common in ancient and modern times.
He learned from the merchants of Lu's Chamber of Commerce that it was spread by Zhang Liang, an old Korean aristocrat, and cursed, "The children of the Zhang family are not sons of human beings and should be punished with Ling Chi!"
Xiang Liang, who had a deep hatred for Zhang Liang, couldn't understand. We are also nobles. Why did you use these eight words? This not only ruined the revival of Chu State, but also ruined the revival of Korea.
If it was said that the rebellion was for the sake of chaos in the world, that would make sense. But now King Qin is still alive, Wang Jian and his son are not dead, and the Six Kingdoms have just been conquered for a year.
The fierce generals of the Qin State are all gearing up, their eyes are red, and they want to be awarded the title of marquis for their military merits. What is the use of these eight words at this time? Do you expect to call everyone to rebel? But at this time, who is not forced to rebel? Who dares to rebel? Rebellion is not possible
Just a death?
Another half month later, when he learned that there was a riot in Han Dynasty, Xiang Liang thought he understood Zhang Liang and felt that Zhang Liang was really pushed into panic - this reshuffle in Han Dynasty had washed away almost all the Korean troops.
Nobles, Korea is already a private territory of the Qin State. Anyway, there is no hope of restoring Korea, so everyone will be unlucky together, and the more chaotic the world, the better.
Then Xiang Liang became even more angry. Isn't this just crazy? Why don't you flip the table if you can't recover? Don't let me touch you. I will definitely kill you if I do!
Along with what happened in Han, there was another news: the three-kill order issued by the First Emperor.
[Anyone who writes in simplified Chinese characters will be killed, anyone who teaches others knowledge will be killed, and anyone who writes in non-simplified Chinese characters will be killed.]
These three orders instantly cheered up Xiang Liang, who felt that everything was not going well. The Qin State in his impression that was militaristic and only liked fighting but not using his brain seemed to be back!
If it weren't for Xiang Yu's troubles, Xiang Liang and Huan Chu would be on the road to Yingdu now. In response to these three orders, Xiang Liang had a hundred ways to make the people of Chu miss Chu!
"Liang is not going, you can do it on your own."
Seeing Xiang Yu's resolute attitude, Xiang Liang thought about it for a long time before speaking decisively.
If the opportunity is gone, you can come back again, but Xiang Yu must not make any mistakes.
"Should I go alone? No, no."
The heavily armed Huan Chu shook his head.
"Liang wants to watch Yu'er here. Yu'er's safety is more important than anything else. Liang is worried about others."
Huan Chu glanced at Xiang Liang with a look that meant he was sick.
"Yu'er is only fourteen years old, do you need to see it? Just find two dead men to accompany you day and night."
[A half-year-old child, what is there to worry about?]
Xiang Yu frowned and turned to look at Huan Chu, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Uncle Huan looks down on Yu."
"Hahaha, what are you talking about?"
Huan Chu hugged Xiang Yu, who was half a foot taller than him, and laughed loudly:
"You are still young. I was far behind you when I was your age. The older you are, no one will be able to stop you, and you can go anywhere in the world."
"Yu can go anywhere now."
Xiang Yu clenched his fists, twisted his neck twice, and looked serious.
"Uncle Huan, do you want to compete with Yu?"
Huan Chu waved his hands repeatedly, his tone sounding like he was coaxing a child.
"If you don't come, you won't come. Uncle Huan can't compare to Yu'er. Yu'er is so brave and unstoppable. Uncle Huan is old."
"Uncle Huan!"
Xiang Yu emphasized his tone.
"Yu is serious. If Yu agrees to Uncle Huan, Uncle Huan will convince him to take me to Ying."
Uncle Huan wiped away three points of his smile, leaving only seven points of smile on his face:
"Then if Uncle Huan wins, you will stay in Kuaiji and don't mess around, okay?"
Xiang Yu looked excited and raised one hand and forearm upright in the air.
"Can!"
Huan Chu slapped Xiang Yu's hand hard.
The promise is established.
Uncle Huan turned his head toward the door and smiled casually.
"Let's go, Yu'er, and let Uncle Huan see how much his martial arts has improved in the past few months."
Xiang Yu reminded:
"Uncle Huan, please be more serious, your feathers are already strong."
The two of them walked out of the door, and the round-faced necklace said behind them:
"Just seven points of strength is enough, don't hurt anyone."
Bang~
Huan Chu opened the door, and dissatisfied words entered the room from outside.
"You know, I can still hurt Yu'er. I can only use five points of strength at most."
Xiang Liang smiled slightly and sat on a mahogany chair to wait for the result of the competition between the two.
Outside the door, Xiang Yu corrected:
"Uncle Huan, uncle is talking to Yu."
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can a little baby like you hurt me?"
The courtyard is not big, but it is more than enough for two people to compete in martial arts. The two people distanced themselves, twenty steps apart.
Xiang Yu began to adjust his breathing, and Huan Chu yawned.
Xiang Yu bowed slightly, with one foot in front and one behind, and his steps were slightly staggered.
"Uncle Huan, Yu is about to come."
Uncle Huan raised his right hand flat, and quickly hooked his index finger with the palm of his hand upward.
"Come on, come on... hmm? So fast!"
As soon as the third word came, Xiang Yu had shortened the distance between the two by half!
With a loud noise, where Xiang Yu was standing, a three-inch deep footprint appeared on the hard soil.
Xiang Yu was like a tyrannosaurus, appearing in front of Huan Chu at a speed that Huan Chu didn't expect, and punched him with an ordinary punch!
Although Huan Chu was extremely surprised by Xiang Yu's speed, because Xiang Yu was only fourteen years old, the stereotype still did not make Huan Chu wary.
Half surprised and half surprised, he put his palms across his chest and only used 50% of his strength, wanting to test how much progress his nephew had made.
Huan Chu had just attacked Xiang Yu a few months ago. At that time, Huan Chu only needed to use 40% of his strength to suppress Xiang Yu.
There is no need for weapons to fight with bare hands. Generally speaking, palms can defeat fists, fists can defeat fingers, and fingers can defeat palms. Huan Chu used palms to fists, and he felt that he was cautious enough when facing a fourteen-year-old baby.
However, at the next moment, a huge force that no one could match was transmitted from the palm of his hand to Huan Chu's whole body.
There was a dull sound of fists and palms intersecting, and Huan Chu was launched like a huge cannonball.
With another muffled sound, his back hit the wall hard, and he felt excruciating pain all over his body.
Smoke and dust were everywhere. Huan Chu's first reaction was not to cry out in pain, but to wave his sore and swollen arms to disperse the smoke. He endured the severe pain all over his body and got up with difficulty.
"Is this his mother a fourteen-year-old child? Xiang Liang! Did you deliberately frame Nai Gong!"
Zhiqua~
Xiang Liang pushed open the door and walked out, looking at his best friend who was covered in dust, with a gentle smile on his face that made Huan Chu want to break it, and he slowly scolded Xiang Yu.
"Yu'er, didn't uncle tell you to only use seven points of strength? How did you beat your uncle Huan like this?"
Xiang Yu helplessly spread his hands.
"Yu Chue only used seven points of his strength. When he realized that Uncle Huan was about to fly, he already used three points of his strength as much as possible..."
"Nonsense!"
Huan Chu was furious, but his physical condition meant that he could only twitch veins on his forehead, but he did not dare to jump violently.
"I have used five points of force, but you only used four points? If you had used ten points of force, I wouldn't be able to do anything in your hands!"
Xiang Liang also felt puzzled.
[Huan Chu shouldn’t be so helpless, wait!]
"Huan Chu, aren't you using your inner strength?"
"This kid hasn't been practicing martial arts for a long time. Naigong still needs to use his internal strength to compete with this kid? Huh?"
Huan Chu pointed at Xiang Yu and said half-way through, with a dark face:
"Boy, tell the truth, have you used your inner strength?"
Xiang Yu stepped forward to brush off the dust for Huan Chu, and said in the smoke:
"I fought with Uncle Huan and didn't notice the internal strength, so I gave up."
Huan Chu was depressed for a moment, then suddenly slapped Xiang Yu and praised him loudly.
"Good boy, Kua'e's birth is just like this!"
Kua'e: Hercules in myths and legends.
"Uncle Huan, shall I go to Yingkehu?"
"You can go, you can go. Why shouldn't you go with such strength? Your uncle may not be better than you now! Is it Xiang Liang? Take Yu'er with you this time."
Huan Chu laughed and looked at Xiang Liang. Seeing Xiang Liang's expressionless face, his smile froze and slowly faded away.
Xiang Liang turned around and went back to the house, leaving behind the word "cold".
"No!"
"Uncle, I..."
Xiang Yu was about to chase after him, but Huan Chu, who was in severe pain, hugged him and stopped him with a grin on his face.
"Your uncle likes to get into trouble. If nothing happens, let Uncle Huan convince your uncle. You go back and wait."
Xiang Yu felt relieved when he thought that he hadn't let his uncle change his mind for so long.
"No, thank you for thanking Uncle Huan."
"Although you are not my nephew, you are better than my nephew. You are very polite."
Seeing Xiang Yu leave the courtyard, Huan Chu gently pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he entered the door, he said:
"I'm going to Ying alone. You keep an eye on Yu'er. If there's even the slightest mistake, you and I will both be sinners of Da Chu!"
That night, Xiang Liang sent more troops to guard his nephew. The fourteen-year-old boy's roar shook the house and shook it to the point of collapse. Among Xiang Liang's seventy guests, thirty-two were injured.
"You promise me you can go to Ying!"
Xiang Liang wrote the strategy on the paper sold to him by the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and Huan Chu kept it.
One day later, Huan Chu led fifty people, disguised as a chamber of commerce, and went to Ying.
Without this light and easy-to-write paper, Xiang Liang would not have dared to let his reckless best friend walk alone.
Xinzheng.
At chen hour, the sky is bright.
"Your Majesty, the blue dragon in the east is soaring, with a phoenix bird attached to it. The green dragon belongs to water, and is Gong Gong. The phoenix bird belongs to fire, and is Zhu Rong. Water and fire are fused, and the eyes have double pupils. This son is a brave warrior through the ages. He can send people Go to the east and kill him!"
Gui Guzi pointed his finger at the Qi ground on the map, and said in a deep voice to Ying Chengyu, who was wearing loose silk pajamas and had just crawled out of Qingmei and Lilac quilts.
