Xiang Yu divided the world and left for himself a piece of land that may not be the largest, but it must be the richest.
In Pengcheng, Xiang Yu set the capital of Western Chu in this city where he and Xiang An first became famous. At this time, Xiang An was standing in the military camp outside the city.
Now the world is peaceful, but Xiang An is wearing armor and looking at the things in his hands.
"How many troops and horses do we have in Xichu?" He clapped the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head and asked his general.
After returning to Western Chu, Xiang Yu fulfilled his promise and appointed his biological brother Xiang An as the supreme general of the Shangzhu Kingdom. He named his third sister Zi Juan as the sub-general. He lived beside Xiang An and trained his troops.
Other generals did not disarm and return to their fields, but stayed outside the city or were stationed in other cities.
Currently, Xi Chu has a total of 100,000 troops left.
"There are still 13,000 horses, but the qualifications vary, and there may only be 8,000 that can ride on the battlefield."
"...Okay, I understand." Xiang An thought for a moment, nodded, and put the bamboo slip aside, "Is there any other news recently?"
"No, my eldest brother hasn't been out recently." Zijuan sighed, feeling a little helpless.
Since returning to Pengcheng, the world has calmed down, and Pengcheng has also calmed down. What's more, now that Xiang Yu has become the king of Chu, their brothers and sisters eat separately. Xiang Yu lives and lives in the palace, and the third and fourth sons live separately.
Fortunately, I could often go to the palace to find Xiang Yu, but Xiang An, who really had a conflict with Xiang Yu, lived directly in the military camp, eating, drinking, and sleeping with the soldiers all day long, and never went to the palace at all. Xiang Yu
Not caring about Xiang An's rudeness, and not bothering to make themselves uncomfortable, the two brothers entered this strange Cold War atmosphere.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiang An didn't care and walked out to check on the training situation of each department.
...
In Pengcheng, the Chu Palace.
Xiang Yu sat on the couch, looked at the attendants below, and asked, "Is what you said true?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, it's absolutely true." The attendant's head was on the ground, with a little cold sweat on his cheeks.
"...You go down first."
"yes."
After the attendants left, Xiang Yu stood up, pacing back and forth in his palace with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with humanity?" Poppy wore a gorgeous robe and walked to Xiang Yu's side, asking worriedly.
"It's just some insignificant news." Shaking his head, Xiang Yu pulled up a stool, grabbed a piece of jade on the table, and started playing with it, "Yu, you should still remember Ying Ziying."
"Yu remembers, it should be the King of Qin." Meiren Yu nodded. Although she had never met Ying Ziying, she had heard Xiang Yu talk about him.
"There are rumors that Ziying...was killed by Xiang An."
"Kill!? Impossible." Poppy opened her mouth in surprise, "Didn't my uncle say that he wanted to save Ziying? How could he kill Ziying?"
"But it seems to be the rumor outside now." Xiang Yu laughed, "Xiang An did not kill him. I know his character very well. Since he said it, he will definitely do it, so Ziying was indeed killed by him.
Send him out of Xianyang and find a place to live in seclusion."
"Now that such rumors have appeared, they must be trying to destroy me by attacking Xiang An."
Xiang Yu may not intend to become emperor, but he is definitely the biggest obstacle to others on their way to becoming emperor.
There are a few people in this world who don't want to be emperor.
The poppy frowned slightly, and she roughly understood the whole story: "The person who spreads this rumor must be punished."
This rumor is simply unassailable.
Because Xiang An could not prove that he did not kill Ziying, but sent Ziying out of Xianyang, and the "killed" Ziying had already retired to the mountains and forests, so it was impossible for Xiang An to stand up and help Xiang An eliminate the rumors.
Therefore, no matter how Xiang An explains it, the unjust reputation of "killing Ying Ziying" will definitely be worn on his head.
"It doesn't matter, Xiang An won't care about these false names, and neither will I." Xiang Yu waved his hand indifferently.
Shaking her head helplessly, Poppy obediently stood next to Xiang Yu: "Lord Xiang Yu, why don't you want to become the common master of the world?"
Touching Yu Meiren's silky hair, Xiang Yu's eyes darkened: "... Yu, do you think I am a human being?"
Poppy leaned on Xiang Yu's arms, thinking for a long time, and finally shook her head.
"Yu doesn't know...but Yu knows that Mr. Xiang Yu, you must be the best person in the world..."
Xiang Yu sighed slightly, his answer was wrong...
He did not continue to embarrass Poppy. He put Yujue aside, picked up Poppy, and walked towards the bed.
...
Xiang An also received the news.
"I killed that child Ziying? Why didn't I know?" Xiang An frowned and looked at Xiang Jing.
"There must be some short-sighted people who want to slander you, second brother." Xiang Jing reminded him, with an angry expression on his face.
Xiang An smacked his mouth and frowned.
He is a smart man, and with a little thought, he can probably figure out the benefits and harms behind this.
"Tsk!"
Bang!
He slammed the table hard, making a huge noise, and the soldier talisman placed next to it was shaken down.
"Damn it, what bastard..." Xiang An picked up the military talisman and gritted his teeth.
"Lao San, send your people to investigate and find out where this ghost news came from!" Xiang An was inexplicably given the reputation of "killing Ziying".
It's definitely impossible.
"Tell me immediately after you find out! I will lead people to kill them!" Xiang An exuded a dangerous aura and narrowed his eyes.
He is worried that there is no reason to start unifying the world.
"The last general will obey the order." Xiang Jing clasped his fists and exited the camp. Xiang An is now the highest-ranking general in the Western Chu army.
"Second brother, is this really okay?" Zijuan looked worried, sitting on the side and looking at Xiang An.
"It doesn't matter." The angry expression on Xiang An's face went away as quickly as it came, and he had already started processing documents again, "Actually, let me guess, I can almost guess where the nonsense news came from."
"Brother's enfeoffment of the world has the meaning of enfeoffment, but most people must be satisfied with the enfeoffment."
"And those who are dissatisfied or ambitious are those who are likely to spread rumors."
"The first one is Liu Ji with his horns in Bashu. He must be the first one to be unhappy."
"Furthermore, it's Sima Xuan. This guy's fiefdom is small and pitiful, so he must be unhappy."
"Then there are King Han and Peng Yue. King Han's fiefdom is equally small. As for Peng Yue, he took the lead in conquering Xianyang, but he didn't even win the throne, but his influence is still there."
"The person who said I killed Ziying must be one of these people, and he can't escape!" Xiang An said firmly with a cold snort.
