Chapter 127: Soul of Chu: Xiang Yu’s wrath, the war is reignited!Xiang Yu's escape plunged the entire court into a tense atmosphere, and Xiang Liang's arrest also made Qin Shihuang's anger towards the remnants of the Chu State reach its peak.
Ye Chi and Li Si knew that more severe measures must be taken at this time to prevent Xiang Yu from causing trouble again.
In another corner of the palace, a palace maid hurried into the inner court and whispered a few words to an official.
The official's face changed and he quickly walked out of the palace and headed straight for the court.
"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the border that Xiang Yu has led the remnants of his army to attack the border towns and killed many of the defenders. It seems that he is gathering his forces and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!"
The official looked nervous and there was a hint of panic in his words.
The Emperor's face was livid, his eyes were like torches: "How dare Xiang Yu be so presumptuous? Pass on my order, mobilize the army, and go out immediately to wipe out Xiang Yu and his remnants!"
In the court, all the officials were shocked and talked a lot.
Ye Chi and Li Si exchanged glances. They understood that a great war was about to begin.
At the same time, Xiang Yu led the remnants of his troops southward to the former territory of the Chu State.
Xiang Yu led the remnants of his army southward, and wherever he went, the people avoided him. They were both afraid and curious, and talked about him privately. Some admired Xiang Yu's bravery, while others worried about the disasters that war would bring.
Amid such discussions, troops from all over the Qin State began to gather, and a war that would determine the fate of the country was about to break out.
Their goal was not only revenge, but also for the Chu people who were still suffering under the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
Outside the teahouse, a group of teenagers were playing. When they heard the adults' conversation, they stopped and started discussing in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiang Yu is a traitor, and the First Emperor will send a large army to capture him," another child corrected.
"Brother Xiang Yu is so awesome that he managed to escape from the Qin soldiers." a child said admiringly.
The soldiers were so excited that they responded one after another: "We will follow you till death, General Xiang!"
"I heard that Xiang Yu escaped and killed many Qin soldiers. This guy is such a disaster." An old man sighed.
"That's right. Xiang Yu is so strong that no one can stop him." The old man next to him echoed.
In the teahouse, several old men sat around a table, talking about recent current affairs.
At the same time, people in the streets and alleys began to talk about it.
Xiang Yu stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, with a blazing fire in his eyes: "Brothers, our hometown is waiting for us. For freedom and for the Chu State, we can no longer retreat!"
"Alas, we are in trouble again. His Majesty will definitely not let Xiang Yu go. Once this war starts, life will become difficult for us common people." Another old man said worriedly.
"I heard that Xiang Yu has arrived here. I'm afraid there will be some trouble." A villager said to his companions while working in the fields.
"Xiang Yu is a hero of the Chu State. When the Qin army comes, he will fight to the death to protect us." Another villager responded, with anticipation in his eyes.
Xiang Yu's troops reached a valley and encountered a Qin patrol. The leading Qin general saw Xiang Yu and was shocked. He ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle. "Xiang Yu, as a general of Chu, you dared to betray Qin. Today is your end!" the general shouted.
Xiang Yu sneered, swung the giant axe in his hand, and rushed forward. Before the Qin generals could react, they were knocked to the ground. Xiang Yu's bravery frightened the Qin soldiers and they were defeated one after another.
"General Xiang, there is a small town ten miles ahead. Most of the residents in the town are Chu people. Should we stop for a while?" the deputy general stepped forward and asked.
Xiang Yu looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with determination: "Go, tell them that the Chu army is back."
In the town, when the people heard that Xiang Yu was coming, some were cheering, while others were worried. An old man said to his grandson, "My son, if Xiang Yu really comes, our lives may be a little different."
When Xiang Yu's troops arrived at the town, the people went out to greet them. Some knelt down and shouted, "Hero of Chu, General Xiang, you are finally back!"
Xiang Yu looked at them, his eyes full of grief and determination: "My fellow villagers, although the Chu State is destroyed, the Chu spirit still exists. I, Xiang Yu, swear to lead you to revive the Chu State and make the Qin army pay the price!"
When the people heard this, they were excited and responded one after another: "We are willing to follow General Xiang and fight against the Qin army together!"
When the news spread, Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered troops to be sent to all places to arrest Xiang Yu. Li Si and Ye Chi discussed countermeasures. They knew that Xiang Yu's actions were not just personal revenge, but had ignited the fire of resistance in the hearts of the Chu people.
Ye Chi said to Li Si: "Prime Minister Li, Xiang Yu's move may cause a chain reaction. We must quell this unrest as soon as possible."
Li Si nodded: "This matter concerns the stability of the country. I have sent envoys to various places to appease the people and strengthen the border defense to prevent the remnants of the Chu State from colluding with each other."
In the palace, Qin Shihuang summoned all the generals to discuss strategies to deal with Xiang Yu.
"Xiang Yu is just a reckless man. Although he is brave but not wise, his influence cannot be underestimated. What good advice do you have?" asked the First Emperor.
A general suggested: "Your Majesty, wherever Xiang Yu goes, the people of Chu are willing to follow him. Our army can first divide his subordinates and then encircle and suppress them."
Another general advocated: "It is better to take the initiative, quickly gather a large army, and attack Xiang Yu directly, so as to catch him off guard with lightning speed."
Qin Shi Huang pondered over this and finally decided: "First divide them, then encircle and suppress them, and at the same time prevent the remnants of the Chu State from taking advantage of the chaos to cause chaos. This battle cannot afford to fail!"
Xiang Yu's return caused a huge response among the Chu people. His bravery and determination became a symbol, inspiring the rebellious sentiment deep in the hearts of the Chu people. Qin Shihuang's orders swept across the country like a storm, and the troops in various places were frequently mobilized. The people spent every day in tension and expectation.
In a tavern in a small town, several middle-aged men sat around a wooden table, discussing the recent situation in low voices.
"I heard that Xiang Yu has gathered a lot of stragglers from the Chu State, and they are now gathering southward." A hunter in leather armor put down his wine glass, with a hint of awe in his tone.
"Xiang Yu is such a ruthless guy. When the Chu State was destroyed, he managed to escape alive, and now he's making a comeback." The tavern owner wiped the wine jug, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"We are not far from the former territory of Chu. If Xiang Yu really attacks, should we help the Qin army or the Chu people?" a farmer asked worriedly, frowning.
"Who to help? Help those who can make us live a good life." The hunter curled his lips. Although his words were rough, the logic was clear.
At the same time, Xiang Yu's troops were marching through the valleys, and Chu people continued to join them along the way, and the team grew stronger and stronger. Wherever Xiang Yu went, he would give passionate speeches to the people to inspire their fighting spirit.
