Legends in Chu and Han - C339
Xiang Yu felt that Long Tianyu’s actions, speech, and insight were all different from ordinary people, and she seemed to be extremely similar to his own father. Could it be that he also came from the mysterious’ hometown ‘that his father had mentioned before? They were all full of poetry, and their hearts were full of books, and their minds were open, and they supported democracy.
Due to Xiang Yu’s respect and admiration for her father, she did not dare to underestimate Long Tianyu anymore. In the letter, he had already described to him her greatest opponent, and planned to borrow the North Desert’s iron cavalry of 50,000, the more rare and powerful people the better, and through a series of battles, he finally understood that war could not be defeated just by one man alone. Facing a troublesome enemy like Long Tianyu, one could only be brave in both ways, using both tactics and tactics simultaneously.
But would his father personally lead troops to help his son take over the world? Surely not, because he had said more than once that he would not go back to the Central Plains, that he did not want to ruin the development of history and fight for the land under the heavens. That was a matter for the young, and as long as he worked hard at his dreams and left a name that would last for thousands of years, even if he failed, it wouldn’t matter.
A person’s life must be brazenly rushed once, do a big thing, plan in the sky, the final result has long become a foregone conclusion, but the process can be grasped by oneself, try to live as carefree and as joyful as possible, the final result is only a landing point in life.
These words repeatedly flashed in Xiang Yu’s mind, and her blood began to boil. Perhaps, only by openly fighting with Long Tianyu on the battlefield and fighting with the spirit of a tyrant against the world, would she be worthy of being respected by others.
He couldn’t help but feel that his past actions were a bit disgraceful, a bit ashamed.
“Long Tianyu, you are a very good opponent, I hope that when you return to the Sichuan, you can make some achievements and don’t disappoint me, Xiang Yu, but the other great dukes of the Central Plains, hmph, will all be my captives. When that time comes, I will swallow the Central Plains and shake the world, let’s see what you can use to compare to me.” Xiang Yu stood with her hands behind her back, suddenly emitting a terrifying domineering aura.
At this moment, Xiang Yu’s figure appeared abnormally tall. Perhaps his ambition and domineering aura had finally made peace with history. This was the true Overlord of West Chu.
Jing Tao brought the letter and walked out of the courtyard, and coincidentally met Fan Zeng at the courtyard entrance.
When Fan Zeng saw him walk out from General Xiang Yu’s tavern, his expression became somewhat abnormal. Suspicion arose in his heart, as he asked, “For what reason does Overlord need to find you? Did he need to use troops on the Han Army?”
grew up in the desert, had a straightforward disposition, and wasn’t as scheming as the people of the Central Plains. He knew Fan Zeng’s position in the army, and even the Overlord respected him as subfather, which meant that the subfather’s respect was equivalent to a father’s. Jing Tao naturally lost his guard and said: “No, the Overlord told me to go back to the North Desert to borrow troops, so I could conquer the Fourteenth Marquis’ army, including the Han Army.
“Oh, so you’re saying that Kampa doesn’t plan to use troops for now?”
“It probably won’t happen if I use troops. This time, the Overlord is determined to restore his authority after returning to the Pengcheng, strengthen himself, and then openly send troops to conquer the various dukes with ill intentions.” Jing Tao explained.
Fan Zeng thought that Xiang Yu was simply too naive. There was no need for him to be righteous and upright in this world, it did not mean that she would let the tigers return to the mountain, and let the enemies have a stable base, then use the soldiers against him would undoubtedly be raising the tigers and causing trouble!
No, for the sake of the Chu Nation’s hegemony, it must not let Long Tianyu leave peacefully, otherwise, it would definitely be destroyed by the Han Army in the future.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Fan Zeng and Jing Tao both left. Jing Tao went to count the two thousand men that were traveling, while Fan Zeng came to Ji Bu’s courtyard.
“subfather?” In the courtyard, Ji Bu, Pu Jie, Xiang Zhuang and the rest had nothing better to do, so there were no battles to fight. The few of them were sparring in martial arts, stretching their bodies a bit, and when they saw Fan Zeng walking to the entrance, they stood up.
Fan Zeng nodded, his originally contemplating face revealed a few traces of a smile, and said: “Come and sit in the pavilion, this old man has a few words to say that I should not say them.”
When the generals heard the subfather say something important and took the initiative to approach them, they all felt that they were trusted aides and core officers. Feeling pleased with themselves, they walked to the right side of the pavilion and sat down around the stone table.
“Does Overlord really know what exactly is happening in the subfather?” Ji Bu could also be considered a loyal person. Seeing the strange expression on Mr. Fan’s face, he guessed that the words Mr. Fan was about to say were definitely going to be out of the ordinary.
Fan Zeng glanced at Ji Bu, and then smiled: “To be honest, I am only here to discuss things with the generals. I did not inform the Overlord, but was instead a secret between us.”
“Oh …” After all, the Overlord of the army had established himself as an invincible existence, just like how Long Tianyu was an unreachable commander-in-chief in the hearts of the Dragon Army Department. If they managed to deceive him, the overlord would privately discuss a few important matters, which would be extremely disrespectful.
However, Fan Zeng was the second strongest in the army and even the Overlord had to obey him. He could be said to be a wise man with many talents in the army and he was also a strange military advisor who had many strategies in place.
“About this, about this, since subfather hasn’t discussed it with Overlord, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to look for us brothers?” Pu Jie said with a little difficulty.
Fan Zeng revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said while laughing and laughing: “Don’t think wrongly, this matter concerns the life and death of the West Chu, if we let Overlord know, he would definitely not agree to it out of a promise. But as the subject of the Chu Nation, should we solve the problem of him not willing to act out of consideration for the Overlord?”
Ji Bu, Pu Jie, Xiang Zhuang and the others looked at each other in dismay. They heard the meaning behind his words.
“What does subfather mean?”
Fan Zeng continued: “My meaning is, we cannot let Long Tianyu’s people return to the Sichuan alive, or else he will definitely make a comeback in the future. When he grows stronger, think about who can stop him? Not only are we going to become prisoners of the Han Army, the entire Chu Nation is going to become a fallen nation once again. ”
“We are also not willing to let him go just like that, but the Overlord has a promise. Before the Han Army retreat to the Sichuan, he will not use any troops against the Han Army or the various dukes and dukes. Ji Bu voiced out his concerns. If the Overlord knew about this and acted on his own, how would he punish those who disobeyed his orders?
Fan Zeng shook his head: “These generals are all descendants of Chu Nation, all of them are heroes of Jiangdong, could it be that they can only watch Long Tianyu bring his family and children safely into Sichuan? Raising the tiger is a disaster, but we will be the ones to suffer in the future? As long as our army sends ten thousand light troops to ambush some place in the sky to disguise as a local clan member, even if we cannot deal with the hundred of thousands of Han Army, but with the help of the spies in the Han Army, we can understand the arrangements for the retreat of the Han Army in time. When choosing Long Tianyu, we can make an ambush, and kill Long Tianyu would be good, but if we are to escape from this calamity, we will need to kill a few of his wives, and as a result, his weakness will be that he will completely collapse.
“Huh?” He could not kill Long Tianyu, and wanted to kill the few Madame Long. That was a huge blow to Long Tianyu, he thought that he would use half of his power to exchange for the two girls, if he were to kill so many of his wives, wouldn’t that cause him to collapse?
This plan was really vicious, but towards someone like Long Tianyu who valued friendship too much, it was the most effective.
