Chapter 344

A roar came out in Xiang Yu's big tent, and then something fell to the ground and broke. Obviously, the owner here was angry.

Even though Xiang Yu, who has been so experienced for so long, is already too mature compared to before, he must get angry after receiving such news, and he is angry without any concealment.

Why? Because the news he just received was equivalent to telling him that the retreat he had been thinking about on the Huns' territory was broken.

Xiang Yu's progress was not only reflected in his plans for Maodun and Daqin, but also in his plan for the path he would take in the future. As early as when he saw that Maodun's eagerness to attack Daqin, he had already sent several of his confidants to let them travel thousands of miles to Jiangdong, and secretly developed their previous power in Jiangdong, and would only inform him when something big happened.

By this time, it had been a full year since Xiang Yu sent these confidants. According to Xiang Yu's previous thoughts, if they arrived in Jiangdong, as long as the nobles in Jiangdong who were like him, revealed that they would soon lead their troops back to the old place of Chu, the people in Jiangdong would definitely look forward to them.

So when Ying Gao and Maodun were fighting at the foot of the Great Wall, they could quietly return to Jiangdong with their troops. As for the tens of thousands of troops that Ying Gao might have settled in Jiangdong, they could have come to them again like they did when they defeated Wang Li before.

This was obviously a chain of plans in Xiang Yu's mind, and Jiangdong was his ultimate goal. Now, it seems that something was wrong with his ultimate goal.

A year later, one of the confidants sent by Xiang Yu suddenly returned to the land of the Huns. Obviously, it was not just a matter of a few months' journey from Jiangdong to the Huns. If there was no important issue, Xiang Yu knew that his confidants would never come back rashly.

Sure enough, after a little inquiry, Xiang Yu realized that everything in Jiangdong was different from what he had imagined before. According to the description of his confidants, when they arrived in Jiangdong, some of the original Chu nobles who had been very supportive of Xiang Yu and even spared all their wealth in order to restore Xiang Yu, they heard that he was sent by Xiang Yu, so they could only tell the county magistrate of Kuaiji County to take them down.

This made the confidants sent by Xiang Yu really mist. In just over a year, such obvious changes have actually happened, which is really not something they can figure out.

But soon, the few of them gave up because not only one family, but also two, almost everyone who had a good relationship with Xiang Yu had turned against each other.

Of course, these confidants sent by Xiang Yu were not big-faced gourds. When this happened, they did not panic, but were cautiously wandering on the territory of Jiangdong, trying to find out the reason why these people turned against each other.

It is not difficult to find the reason for this. Soon, they found that when Chen Ying became the county magistrate, Kuaiji County, and even the entire Jiangdong were really different from when they were there before.

The lectures of various schools can be seen everywhere, and almost all the first Guizhou children who do not need to serve are listening to lectures. The content of the lectures made them very surprised. Another thing is that the service was criticized by the people of the Qin Dynasty before, because of the Ying Gaoxin Deal, everyone only needs to serve once every year.

The looseness of corvee service made the people of the Qin Dynasty feel a lot of favor with the Qin Dynasty under the rule of Ying Gao, because it was a real change for them. It turned out that the reason why they followed Xiang Yu to rebel against Qin was that if they did not rebel against Qin, according to the corvee service system during the period of Emperor Qin, every time they went to serve in a distance, many people would die on the way or work.

Of course, this is not good news for Xiang Yu and the others. The slogan they used to fight against Qin was to kill the tyrant Qin. Now it is obvious that the tyrant Qin no longer exists, so it is normal for the people not to support them.

However, as the investigation of these people in depth, something even worse for them was in front of them. It was this incident that made them make a decision to return the current situation in Jiangdong to the Huns and personally inform Xiang Yu. Otherwise, if Xiang Yu really led his army to Jiangdong, the situation he obtained would never be what Xiang Yu wanted to see.

This is why the news that Xiang Yu had arrived in the Huns had already spread on the land in Jiangdong for some reason.

The incident of Xiang Yu going to the Huns was obviously a very low-key thing. After arriving at the territory of the Huns, Xiang Yu almost never used troops to the Qin Dynasty. He just brought the Huns' cavalry to participate in the battle to destroy the Donghu. Logically speaking, such news should never be transmitted to Jiangdong so far away from the Huns.

In this era, the circulation between counties and counties should be very slow, and there would be few people who could care about Xiang Yu's situation in the Huns. Therefore, Xiang Yu thought that the news of his arrival in the Huns would not be widely transmitted within Jiangdong.

But such things are often contrary to their wishes. When his confidant told Xiang Yu that his reputation was not very good in Jiangdong now. Judging from the situation at this time, it was no longer recommended that he return to Jiangdong, Xiang Yu's anger could not be suppressed.

Where is Jiangdong? It is not only where Xiang Yu grew up, but also the core of Chu. If Xiang Yu wants to restore the Chu State, he needs not only the name of Chu State, but the people of the entire Chu State. If he restores the name of Chu State in other places, it will have no meaning to Xiang Yu.

"All those who asked me to sacrifice my life before began to curse me?"

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yu finally squeezed out this sentence from his teeth again.

His confidant wanted to say something Xiang Yu was willing to listen to, but the real situation was the situation that Xiang Yu was most reluctant to see, so he could only look at Xiang Yu's already red eyes, and did not say anything, but nodded slightly.

"You can rest in other big tents first."

It was after a long time that Xiang Yu finally said this. The confidant finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly withdrew from Xiang Yu's tent.

Xiang Yu sat on the handsome chair in his big tent and could not calm down for a long time. His heart was filled with the passionate Jiangdong children who had been following his uncle tightly since he was a child.

Even if Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will be destroyed.

This is not just a mere thing Xiang Liang or Xiang Yu could say casually, but a shout from thousands of people from Chu. This is a cohesion that no one of the other six countries can achieve. It is these Jiangdong children that gave Xiang Yu the courage to endure the land of the Huns before, because he always believed in his heart that no matter when, as long as he returned to Chu and Jiangdong, he could lead the people of Jiangdong to continue to oppose Qin, but now, his dream is obviously no longer achieved.

For a moment, Xiang Yu, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly didn't know what to do. Jiangdong was no longer his rear, and the Huns did not regard this place as a place where he wanted to develop for a long time. So where would he go in the future, Xiang Yu had no idea.

The news of Xiang Yu's confidant's return could naturally be hidden from Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng. Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng knew about what happened in Xiang Yu's tent. Even after Xiang Yu's confidant had just shrunk out of Xiang Yu's tent, he was invited to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang again.

In fact, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang didn't know about Xiang Yu's confidant sending their confidants to Jiangdong before. Now that they learned about this, they were all feeling the growth of Xiang Yu, but when they learned about Xiang Yu's confidant's experience in Jiangdong, they also had a solemn expression on their faces.

When Xiang Yu knew that his hometown had become like that, his mentality had completely collapsed, so he did not analyze why it turned out like this. He had to let himself accept this matter first and then talk about it after all.

But for Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, they were at least much calmer than Xiang Yu. They knew that if they could cause such consequences in the originally solid Jiangdong land, Ying Gao must have used some killer weapon.

After inquiring again, Xiang Yu's confidant finally revealed the three new policies proposed by Ying Gao on the land of the Qin Dynasty.

Although these three new policies have long been well known on the land of the Qin Dynasty, they really know nothing about the new policies of the Xiongnu outside the territory of the Qin Dynasty, because what they are concerned about is nothing about the battle between the Huns and the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, Ying Gao's ability to implement the new policies on the Qin Dynasty was not something they could imagine.

The word "New Deal" is rarely mentioned in this era. Although such changes often bring good results to their own country, people at that time did not recognize such changes. Even if people like Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang were very capable, if they wanted them to make any changes, it would be extremely difficult.

What they never expected was that the Emperor of Qin had successfully reunified the six kingdoms and almost wiped out all the Qin forces in the Qin territory. Ying Gao, who was a civil and military master, would actually implement a new policy on the territory of Qin. This was completely an operation that Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang could not understand.

But they can't understand it, but now they can clearly feel the role of these new policies.

"The current new policies of the Qin Dynasty obviously want to assimilate the Qianshen leader of the previous six countries. If this continues, I am afraid that the people of the six countries will never know that they were once people of the six countries, but only know that they are Qin..."

After Fan Zeng understood the situation, he sighed first. Of course, he knew that there were not many people in the territory of the Great Qin now, and many children in their teens were born after the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty. Of course, these people would not know what the situation was like before the coherence of the seven kingdoms.

"The change of lecture style and business registration in the new policy will definitely make the news circulate very quickly in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Under such circumstances, if the young master Gao was fanning the flames, the news that the major general and us all arrived at the Huns would spread throughout the territory of the Qin Dynasty. If I expected it was right, once the Qin Dynasty, who led our army back, was recognized as the major general, almost all the Qin Dynasty's Guizhou capitals would report us to the local officials as soon as possible. It would be impossible for us to lead 10,000 troops to move forward everywhere on the territory of the Qin Dynasty."

Of course, Fan Zeng knew Zhang Liang's statement very well, and they all knew that Xiang Yu might have realized this, otherwise he would not have been so angry. He had finally used the strategy for more than two years, but in the end he found that the Qin Dynasty had no place to live. This was not only Xiang Yu, but even if it was someone else, he would definitely not be able to stand it.

"I'm afraid there are not many ways for me to move forward now. With Maodun's mind and ability, once the Great Wall is broken, the major general will have no effect on him. If he can't move towards the depths of the Qin Dynasty, we just don't know where to go."

After asking, Xiang Yu's confidant told them that Liu Bang, who had escaped from Xiang Yu before, was wiped out by Fusu of Nanhai County. Now, Nanhai County has completely become the territory of the Qin Dynasty under Fusu's management. If Xiang Yu and the others wanted to travel unscrupulously on the territory of Nanhai County like they did when they ran over, it would be unlikely.

After learning that almost all of these were extremely unfavorable news for them, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang looked at each other for a while, and neither of them spoke easily. Obviously, it was time for them to make a decision again, and it was another intersection. If they couldn't walk well, what was waiting for them would obviously be annihilation.

"This Zhongyuan... I'm afraid I can't go back."

"But Major General..."

Next, no one could hear what Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang discussed here, including Xiang Yu, who had not yet come back from this major blow.
