Chapter 96: Overlord's Ambition

Xiang Yan's face was pale. Almost all of his 100,000-strong army was wiped out in this battle. Thousands of corpses were floating in the floods. It was more likely that the Chu State would be destroyed. It would not be able to conquer the Central Plains for decades. He felt guilty, ashamed, and humiliated.

All the emotions were added up, and Xiang Yan felt cold all over.

The Xiang family may also fall into the endless abyss because of themselves. Xiang Yan looked up to the sky and shouted: "Heaven will not help me, Chu!"

"General Xiang, do you know how my father explained it?" the young master said coldly.

Xiang Yan also said sadly: "Xiang Yan is responsible for everything alone." Xiang Yan understands this principle, not to mention that the young master has a cold nature. If he doesn't do this, I'm afraid the entire Xiang family will be exterminated.

.

Young Master Kuang was helpless. He had always been in control of the military and relied on Xiang Yan to achieve many military exploits. To put it bluntly, he took the credit for Xiang Yan's work. However, this time Xiang Yan was defeated. In order to protect his own safety, he could only put all his sins in the past.

Xiang Yan pushed him.

The young master looked at Xiang Yan with satisfaction and said: "I will find a way to save the Xiang family."

"You bastard!" Xiang Yu punched him. Xiang Yu, who came in a hurry, heard the conversation between the two outside the tent and punched Young Master Kuang in the heart.

How could the young master be a dandy? He was Xiang Yu's opponent. One punch punched him and all his orifices bled.

Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Yu in surprise and said angrily: "Yu'er, what are you doing!" Xiang Yu walked towards Gong Zikuang tremblingly, and saw that the man who was about to die could not be found dead. Xiang Yan suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

Xiang Yu quickly helped Xiang Yan, and finally Xiang Yan woke up. She looked at Xiang Yu and cursed angrily: "You bastard!"

In addition to Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Bo, and Xiang Liang are almost all descendants of the Xiang family in the big tent.

"You pushed the Xiang family into the abyss, and they will never recover," Xiang Yan said helplessly.

Xiang Liangque

He said nonchalantly: "I think Yu'er did the right thing. Instead of looking at Xiong Kuang's ugly face day and night, it would be better to kill him."

"you…"

"Father, now is not the time to blame who is right or wrong. Now is the time for our Xiang family to deal with themselves!" Xiang Bo said with a sad face.

Xiang Yan was also silent. His entire army of 100,000 troops was wiped out, and the cries were heard thousands of miles away in Ying City. Even if King Chu Mourning did not kill him, he would probably be scolded to death by the people of Ying City.

"For the current plan, the first thing is to return to Ying City. I said that Mr. Kuang was shot to death by an arrow. We seek refuge with Mr. Yi. There is still a glimmer of hope," Xiang Bo said seriously.

"Where's the other one?" Xiang Liang said helplessly.

"The other option is to seek refuge with other countries, either Han, Wu, Zhou, or Qin. Han Yi has the capacity to accommodate others, so there is still a glimmer of hope for us to seek refuge with him. The other three countries, Wu, must recharge their batteries and should not be underestimated. Zhou is short of troops.

Major General, we would have taken him in in the past, but..."

"But what...!" Xiang Liang said helplessly.

"But the Zhou State is weak. If the Chu State uses its power to suppress others, we will still be killed. The Qin State has the ambition to be a tiger and a wolf, so it is the best choice."

"Korean Wu Qi is really hateful. I swear to the death and will not surrender. It is impossible for the Wu State to have committed crimes with them in the past few years. The Zhou State is too weak and the Qin State is too far away." Xiang Yu explained.

"The only way is to raise an army to overthrow the King of Chu and take the land as king." After talking for a long time, Xiang Zhuang finally got to the point.

When Xiang Yan heard this, he cursed: "Unworthy of descendants, has the book of loyalty from ancient times been eaten into the dog's belly?"

But Xiang Bo ignored him and continued: "We have 15,000 troops, abandon Wancheng, capture Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, Jiangxia, Xiangyang, Nanyang and occupy Jingzhou. Jingzhou has rich land and a large number of soldiers.

Use this as a base to go south to attack Chu Kebao Wangye"

Xiang Bo finished speaking in one breath, obviously he had planned it for a long time, and Xiang Yan was so angry that he was speechless for a while.

"You will die if you return to your country, and it will be the same if you defect to another country. It is better to become a king on your own," Xiang Yu said in a domineering tone, unable to bear it.

In the past few years, he has been cultivating his moral character and holding back the wild nature in his body. He really doesn't like others gesticulating in front of him. Now that the opportunity has come, how could he give up.

"Can you listen to me?" Xiang Yan said helplessly.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and looked at Xiang Yan and said, "Father, please speak."

"Yu'er, ever since you were eight years old, grandpa has known that you are unwilling to be inferior to others, but I am telling you that a person must know the word loyalty and righteousness. Do you still know this?" Xiang Yan said helplessly

As soon as these words came out, the four of them fell silent. Xiang Yan said feebly: "I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this time and will not be able to return to Yingcheng. You will carry my body back and ask the king for forgiveness. If the king insists on killing you, you will raise an army."

Not too late”

"Father, if you don't stop, you will be troubled," Xiang Liang advised.

Xiang Yan said sadly and angrily: "How come I, the dignified General of Southern Chu, gave birth to such a thing as you? You are bent on treason. Have you listened to the teachings that my father has given you?"

Xiang Liang said disdainfully: "My Xiang family has shed a lot of blood, sweated and killed a few people for his surnamed Xiong? Look at them, the only way to survive is to have power in your own hands."

of"

"I don't care what you say. According to what I said, you guys are guarding Wancheng here to prevent unexpected events. When I return to the court, if there is news of my death, you can do whatever you want. If I don't die, you will not be able to do it in your lifetime.

Enter the court and become an official." Xiang Yan slowly stood up and looked at the four people.

"Father..." Xiang Liang wanted to say something more, but Xiang Yan came and said, "Don't say any more, otherwise I will kill my family out of justice." After saying this, he asked people to leave.

Xiang Liang had a sad look on his face when he came out of the camp, but Xiang Bo laughed. Xiang Zhuang asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you laughing?"

"My father returned to the court foolishly and loyally, but he bought us time. We can raise grain, weapons, troops and horses to strengthen our strength on the pretext of preventing Korea," Xiang Zhuang said with great joy.

"Wonderful, this way, we will have enough time to develop. I am afraid that South Korea will send troops on the pretext of helping Chu State," Xiang Zhuang also said seriously.

"Han Yi doesn't have time to rule over us yet. Even if he wins, the four eastern kingdoms will definitely be afraid. Then I'm afraid he will send troops to attack the four kingdoms. If he still has time to rule over us, he would rather we fight with the King of Chu." Xiang Zhuang

He said with a smile.

"What if the king lets us go?" Xiang Liang said boldly.

"Then we will develop slowly, help him resist Wu and Han, and slowly encroach on Chu, which will make him more stable," Xiang Zhuang said with a smile.

"Now that the world is in trouble, where should we go?" Xiang Yu said

"What we should do now is give up Wancheng"

"Why?" Xiang Zhuang asked puzzled.

"That guy Wu Qi's morale is high, but our morale is low. We have lost the gate of Jingzhou. The King of Chu has no generals available and is afraid of us. How can we save my father's life?" Xiang Bo also felt sorry for his father.
