Chapter 5 1. A bloody case caused by a look

At this time, Xiang Yu, the best military general in history, also made his debut. Xiang Yu, born in 232 BC, was originally named Xiang Ji and styled Yu. Birthplace: Suqian, Jiangsu. Family origin: Descendant of a declining nobleman. Height: about 184 centimeters (eight feet). Weight: unknown. Hobbies: Playing with guns. Specialty: Infinite strength, brave and invincible, known as the number one military general in ancient China. When Chen Sheng rebelled in Daze Township, he once uttered a deafening cry: Princes and generals are better than each other!It means that princes and generals are not born, as long as ordinary people pursue bravely, they can do it.

In fact, Chen Sheng's call was not entirely correct. A person like Xiang Yu was born to be a general. The Xiang family has been generals of the Chu State for a long time.Celebrities within three generations can be traced back to Xiang Yan.Xiang Yan is Xiang Yu's grandfather, who was a great general of the Chu State during the Warring States Period.When Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, Li Xin led an army of 200,000 to expedition to Chu, but Xiang Yan wiped them out.Later, Qin Shihuang had no choice but to ask veteran Wang Jian to come out of the mountain. Wang Jian did not dare to be sloppy at all, and mobilized 600,000 troops to expedition to Chu.Xiang Yan died heroically in that war. Since then, the Xiang family has formed a deep hatred with Qin Chao.

However, Xiang Yu was not a serious and studious child when he was young.At first, he liked to read books, but he felt boring after reading a few books, so he went to practice swords.However, before the fire of swordsmanship came, he left the sword and went to do other things. Even his uncle Xiang Liang couldn't stand Xiang Yu's bad habit, so he reprimanded him loudly: "Children don't learn one thing well, what do you want to do?" Not only did Xiang Yu not listen to Xiang Liang's words, but he retorted confidently: "What's the point of reading and writing? It would be good if you can learn to write names."No matter how good the sword practice is, at most, I can only duel with one person. If I want to learn, I will be like ten thousand enemies.

Good boy, he is so arrogant at such a young age, he is quite good at making excuses if he can't do small things well.Let me tell you, boy, if you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world!If you want to learn the enemy of ten thousand people, you have to learn the basic skills solidly. Later, Xiang Liang went to teach Xiang Yu the art of war.However, within a few days, Xiang Yu was only careless about the art of war and refused to learn it.Books, swords, and art of war, none of them are masters. Xiang Yu is worthy of being a student of the three unlikes.From these few small things, we can find that Xiang Yu lacks a valuable spirit, that is patience.It should be known that lack of endurance is one of the main causes of Xiang Yu's future tragedy.

So, deep in Xiang Yu's heart, isn't there something that can stimulate his potential? The answer is yes, this thing is hatred. When Qin Shihuang passed through Qiantang on his eastward journey, Xiang Yu pointed to the majestic Qin Shihuang sitting in the royal carriage, and said a shocking sentence: that person, I can replace him. Xiang Yu will never forget that the death of his grandfather Xiang Yan and the downfall of the Xiang family were entirely caused by the supreme Qin Shihuang. He can forget books and swords and the art of war, but he will never forget hatred and the person who created it.Before, Xiang Liang didn't think highly of Xiang Yu at all, but when he suddenly heard him utter the words of extermination, although he was scared and shocked, he looked at Xiang Yu with admiration from now on.

The Xiang family has a grandson like this, and the Xiang family's revenge is hopeful! Therefore, Xiang Liang decided to take Xiang Yu to leave his hometown and wander the rivers and lakes.In fact, wandering the rivers and lakes is just an excuse. They left their hometown mainly to escape.At that time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo killed someone because of their feud with others. In order to take refuge, they had to flee to Suzhou, the legendary place rich in beauties.Despite the bad luck, Xiang Liang still gained a firm foothold in Suzhou, and even won the favor of Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji.

At that time, Kuaiji Shou Yin Tong heard that Chen Sheng was against Qin, so he summoned Xiang Liang to discuss a big plan. He said to Xiang Liang: "Everything west of the Yangtze River is against Qin. Now is the best time to oppose Qin. I want you and Huan Chu to preemptively lead troops to attack Qin." Please note that the reason why Yin Tong wanted to recruit Xiang Liang into the gang was mainly because Xiang Liang was the most popular person in Wu County.Xiang Liang has a bold personality, a chivalrous spirit, and has made friends with many people, ranging from heroes to country thieves.

At that time, the burial of the dead seemed to be more solemn than the marriage of the living.No matter which family died, the more people who mourned, the better.And Xiang Liang happened to be a master at planning funerals by nature, as long as he appeared on the stage, there must be a huge crowd of people attending the funeral.Therefore, whenever someone dies in a family, Xiang Liang must be invited to host the funeral in person. Despite the large number of people, Xiang Liang always takes command with ease every time he sits in command.You, Zhang San, find me some good men to carry the coffin; you, Li Si, find me some people who can play mourning; you, Wang Er, find me some crying mothers and aunts, etc.The art of war that Xiang Liang learned was trained and practiced while performing funerals for others.What's even more funny is that most of Xiang Liang's generals were talents he discovered when he hosted the funeral.

For Xiang Liang, rebellion is of course a good business.But the problem was that Yin Tong wanted Xiang Liang and Huan Chu to work together. At that time, Huan Chu didn't know which mountain to hide in, and Xiang Liang wanted to go it alone and become the boss. What should we do? To live in troubled times, seizing power is the first need for survival.At this time, there is only one old way: kill those who stand in my way! A conspiracy to seize power was like an arrow on the string and had to be launched. Plotters: Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu. Murder target: Yin Tong. After everything was arranged properly, Xiang Liang took Xiang Yu to visit Yin Tong in Yin Mansion.

Xiang Liang left Xiang Yu at the door, walked into the mansion alone, and said to Yin Tong, "I don't know which ravine Huan Chu has hidden in. I heard that only Xiang Yu knows where he is. How about I call him over and tell him to go." Call Huan Chu back? Everything was expected, and Yin Tong agreed with Xiang Liang to call Xiang Yu in. So, Xiang Liang turned back and whispered to Xiang Yu, explaining the precautions and codes, and then the two walked into the Yin mansion together.After poor Lord Yin saw Xiang Yu, before he could say a few words, Xiang Liang gave Xiang Yu a wink and signaled him to do it, and Xiang Yu immediately drew his sword and rushed forward to behead Yin Tong.

This scene terrified everyone in the Yin residence.However, before the officers and soldiers of the Yin Mansion could react, Xiang Liang took Yin Tong's official seal and walked out with the head in his hand.At this time, the minions of the Yin Mansion just woke up like a dream, and rushed towards Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, brandishing their knives and sticks and screaming. These poor minions don't know that what they encounter is not an ordinary robber, but Xiang Yingxiong, a martial artist with world-class martial arts.Xiang Yu brandished his long sword like he was cutting through a mess. During the speech, more than a hundred people became Xiang Yu's wronged ghosts in vain.The officers and soldiers rushing to the back of the team were all frightened by Xiang Yu's fierce and fierce murderous aura. Apart from shouting for mercy, all they had to do was crawl on the ground and pee their pants. After killing Yin Tong, Xiang Liang called all heroes from all walks of life in Suzhou to a meeting.After some brainwashing by Xiang Liang, the heroes unanimously agreed to oppose Qin.So Xiang Liang took over the counties under Wuzhong County and got eight thousand elite soldiers.Xiang Liang became the prefect of Kuaiji, and Xiang Yu was appointed as the deputy general. This year, Xiang Yu was twenty-four years old.
