My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 231 Xiang Yan: If I can’t beat Wang Jian, how can I beat your son?
Xiang Yan didn't answer but asked: "Where do you think Lord Chang'an is now?"

Xiang Rong replied subconsciously: "The scouts reported yesterday that Lord Chang'an was camped on the north bank of Yingshui River. I think Lord Chang'an should be at..."

Xiang Rong originally wanted to say that Ying Chengyu should still be on the north bank of Yingshui River.

But in the middle of his words, Xiang Rong suddenly shut up and his eyes widened unconsciously: "He should be rushing here!"

The Qin army's partial division is ambushing here, how could Ying Chengyu not know about it?
There are no clan conflicts within the Qin State. Ying Chengyu can't just watch the partial masters fight for life and death here, and he can go home and have a bar by himself!

Since the Qin army's partial division is ambushing here, Ying Chengyu must either march to Anling City to block Xiang Yan's rescue, or march to Wuyan Mountain to cooperate with the partial division.

And when Xiang Yan led troops to reinforce Wuyan Mountain, Ying Chengyu's choice was likely to be to reinforce Wuyan Mountain!

Xiang Yan nodded slightly: "It's not too stupid, but the reaction speed is too slow, and the consideration of the problem is not thorough."

"This is something you should have thought about when you knew the tribes were going to withdraw their troops."

"With the ferocity of Lord Chang'an of Qin State, how could he let the fighter plane slip away? He will definitely send troops to attack!"

"Ambush is his best method."

"But after the ambush, does he only have one option to reinforce Wuyan Mountain? He has many choices, but the possibility of reinforcing Wuyan Mountain is greater, but you must also consider other options."

"These are all questions you should have thought about three days ago!"

Xiang Rong lowered his head in shame: "It's my son's fault."

Xiang Yan said quietly: "Then make up for it!"

Xiang Rong's mind changed quickly and he said in a deep voice: "Since Lord Chang'an may come to attack, our army can surround the area and send reinforcements!"

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Surrounding the point and calling for reinforcements is a good strategy, but it is not suitable for this battle."

"Inside, our great Chu is already in turmoil, and our army cannot fight for a long time."

"Outside, there are water sources and meat on Wuyan Mountain, which can last for a long time."

"And the only ones trapped here are partial troops. Lord Chang'an will probably not venture in just for this partial troops."

Listening to Xiang Yan's explanation, Xiang Rong was a little confused.

So what should we do next?
No matter how you type, you can’t seem to be sure it’s correct!

Xiang Rong felt even more ashamed: "My son is stupid!"

Xiang Yan glanced at Xiang Rong and said in a solemn voice: "Since you know you are stupid, then go and learn! Go and see! Go and think!"

"Look at Lord Chang'an of Qin State, he is so talented!"

"He had no father to educate him since he was a child, and there were no generals in his maternal lineage, and he had no famous teachers to teach him. He became a general of the world just by self-study, and even destroyed two of the heroes!"

"I don't require you to be as talented as Lord Chang'an, but you should at least have the most basic abilities as a general."

"Otherwise, how will I be able to trust my children of the Xiang family in your hands in the future!"

Xiang Rong's heart felt heavy due to Xiang Yanxun, and his head lowered unconsciously.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Yan suppressed the urge to continue teaching her son and said in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Captain Xiang Rong led [-] of the Xiang clan's descendants and [-] regular troops to march eastward and march straight into the forest!"

"Remember, as a general, you should never lose the initiative!"

"If we can't tell what choice the enemy will make, then give the enemy a push and push the enemy in the direction we want!"

Xiang Rong suddenly raised his hand and said: "The last general takes orders!"

Watching Xiang Rong ride away, Xiang Yan's lips twitched a few times.

Xiang Yan always takes Xiang Rong with her and has extremely high demands on Xiang Rong. She keeps a bad look all day long and just urges Xiang Rong to make progress.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiang Yan is extremely satisfied with Xiang Rong!

Among Xiang Yan's disciples, Xiang Rong was not the most talented, but he was definitely the most hardworking, calm-tempered, emotionally stable, studious, and responsible.

Xiang Rong, who has so many advantages, should be loved and loved. Unfortunately, Xiang Rong is Xiang Yan's eldest son!
As the eldest son, the banner of the Xiang family will surely fall on Xiang Rong in the future.

In today's turbulent world, if you don't have extraordinary skills, how can you carry the banner of the Xiang family and struggle in the troubled times!
When Xiang Rong had already run more than thirty feet, Xiang Yan finally uttered a gentle warning that only he could hear: "Pay attention to safety."

When Xiang Rong could no longer be seen in the field of vision, Xiang Yan quickly calmed down his emotions and turned his eyes to Wuyan Mountain again. He saw [-] Qin troops suddenly rushing out of Wuyan Mountain and charging down the eastern slope of the North Mountain.

Xiang Yan immediately ordered: "Order! The Zhao family's troops will reinforce the Cheng family!"

As the flag waved, Zhao's soldiers and horses immediately moved closer to the east slope of Beishan.

But just after Zhao's soldiers and horses assisted in strengthening the defenses on the northern slope of Beishan, another [-] Qin troops suddenly rushed down the southern slope of Nanshan.

Xiang Yan ordered again: "Order, the Sun family will hold fast, and the Qu family and the Dou family will prepare for battle!"

When the [-] Qin troops rushed to a distance of [-] feet from Sun's military formation, the [-] Qin troops took off their Qin crossbows and took advantage of the terrain to aim at Sun's military formation from a high position and spread out!

Seeing that the Qin army was only prepared to take advantage of the geographical advantage to carry out long-range shooting, Xiang Yan then ordered: "Send orders to the Qu family and the Dou family to surround both sides. The Sun family comes forward with a shield!"

Qu Che shouted angrily: "Soldiers, the time has come to prove the glory of my family, Qu Che!"

"rush ahead!"

While shouting and shouting, Qu and Dou's soldiers and horses ran wildly towards the top of the mountain from both sides. Sun also walked towards the top of the mountain step by step under the pressure of the crossbow arrows.

The Qin army did not retreat immediately, but slowly retreated step by step, still suppressing the Chu army with arrows.

It was not until Qu and Dou's troops were about to complete the encirclement that the Qin army finally picked up the Qin crossbow and ran back into the mist along the mountain road.

But at this moment, another [-] Qin troops suddenly rushed down the east slope of Nanshan Mountain.

Dou Shi was originally the main force stationed here, but Dou Shi was dragged up the mountain by the Qin army, and now only a thousand county soldiers are still at the foot of the mountain!

Not hearing Xiang Yan's order for a long time, Qu Huan said anxiously: "General, can you quickly mobilize the Dou family to return to defense?"

"Otherwise, the Qin army may break out of the siege!"

Xiang Yan's voice was very calm: "Don't worry, let them kill."

Xiang Yan knew very well that although the Chu army had more troops, the besieging party would have to spend more troops to form a siege.

Although the strength of the Chu army is more than double that of the Qin army, if it is used for encirclement, there will not be that many troops on each local battlefield.

The Qin army was constantly charging into the encirclement with relatively superior forces to draw back the Chu army's strength.

If Xiang Yan is too tired to be on guard, he will be at a disadvantage!

After watching the Qin army rush to the foot of the mountain and massacre the Chu army, Xiang Yan just gave the order: "Order, the Dou family marches from the mountainside to the east to block the Qin army's retreat."

Douzhan shouted in a hoarse voice: "Children of the Dou family, move quickly! Hurry!" At the cost of the lives of more than a thousand county soldiers, Xiang Yan trapped this Qin army in a siege!
However, just as Doushi blocked the Qin army's passage back to the mountain, hundreds of rolling stones rolled down from the top of the mountain!

"Quickly open!"

"go ahead!"

The Qin and Chu armies roared together.

The Qin army did not hesitate but advanced instead, following the opened passage and ran out of the Misty Mountain range.

But the Chu army lying across the mountainside had no way to go to the sky or to the earth. They could only endure the collision of rolling stones on the mountainside with mournful voices!

After the rock rolled down the mountain and lost momentum, the Qin army roared: "Go back to the mountain and collect military merits!"

While shouting, the Qin army turned around and counterattacked, climbing the mountain again along the bloody passage drawn by the rolling stones.

At the same time, another Qin army rushed down the east slope of Nanshan Mountain. The two Qin armies cooperated to form a double-team on Dou Shi!

Xiang Yan finally showed a serious look on his face and ordered in a deep voice: "Order! The Dou family continues to advance eastward."

"Order, the Zhao family is going up the mountain to intercept the Qin army's reinforcements!"

The four armies flanked each other like tiramisu and started fighting on the mountainside. Xiang Yan ordered again: "Order, Qu's attack on the top of Nanshan Mountain!"

Qu Che shouted: "Go up the mountain!"

While shouting, Qu's soldiers picked up their shields and charged up the mountain.

However, what Qu Che didn't expect was that they didn't encounter any attacks from the Qin army along the way and rushed into the mountain mist smoothly!
Before Qu Che could show his excitement, the sound of golden music suddenly came from his ears.

Looking back, he saw the Chu army's flag waving again. Qu Che immediately ordered: "Withdraw!"

Qu's soldiers looked confused.

General, are we here for an outing?

Why do you have to go down the mountain as soon as you come up?

This was not only the doubts of the soldiers, but also the doubts of Qu Huan: "Shangzhu Kingdom, who are you?"

Xiang Yan kept scanning the battlefield with his eyes and responded casually: "With the ability of the army commander, it is unlikely that he will give up the advantage of Shanwu."

"Qu's soldiers and horses began to go up the mountain from about [-] feet away from the mountain mist. The Qin army is fully capable of mobilizing soldiers and horses to return to resist."

"But Qu's soldiers and horses went up the mountain smoothly. I thought the Qin army might have an ambush."

During the explanation, Xiang Yan suddenly shouted an order: "Send the county soldiers to go up the mountain and attack the Qin army from a flank!"

Qu Huan was thoughtful and asked with some confusion: "May I ask Shangzhu State, who is the general of this partial army?"

Xiang Yan shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Send the order. If any prisoners of the Qin army are captured, they will be tortured severely. Be sure to ask who the general of this partial army is!"

Qu Huan became even more surprised: "Shangzhu Kingdom doesn't know who the enemy general is?!"

If you don’t know who the enemy general is, how can you make such a confident judgment on the enemy general’s ability?
Xiang Yan was too lazy to respond to this boring question, and just kept giving orders, using the east slope of Nanshan Mountain as the main battlefield, with the entire Misty Mountain as the background, and constantly splashing the offensive route!

Two hours later, after a bloody battle, the Chu army left the battlefield at the cost of more than [-] soldiers and returned to garrison at the foot of the mountain.

The Qin army also lost the lives of more than [-] soldiers and disappeared into the mist again.

The scout quickly ran back to the central army and said in a deep voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom, we found out through torture."

"The general of this army is the commander-in-chief of the partial division. He is the son of General Wang Jian of the State of Qin, Wang Ben!"

Xiang Yan's eyes suddenly revealed: "It turns out he is Wang Jian's son!"

The reason why Xiang Yan was sure that the leader of this army must be extraordinary was because the Qin army gave Xiang Yan a difficult feeling after only half a day of fighting.

Although they were trapped on the mountain, the Qin army commander took advantage of the mountain as a city.

Even because they did not need to be restricted by city gates, the Qin army's soldiers and horses were able to continuously enter the battlefield at a higher frequency, with continuous reinforcements, support, and flanking attacks, thus forming a chain reaction on multiple battlefields.

How can a general with such ability be mediocre!
Now that he heard that the general on the opposite side was actually Wang Jian's son, Xiang Yan felt that this was indeed the case.

Xiang Yan looked at Shan Wu, with caution and envy in his eyes: "No wonder he can do this."

"It really is a tiger father without dogs!"

Xiang Yan couldn't help but think that she didn't want her son to be as good as Ying Chengyu, but if her son could be as good as Wang Ben, she would be able to die without regrets!

at the same time.

Wang Ben also stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Xiang Yan through the mountain fog.

Xin Sheng said regretfully: "It's a pity that Qu's retreat was too fast. As long as they walk another two hundred feet up the mountain, our army can cut off Qu's retreat and encircle Qu's Chu army on all sides."

"What a pity! What a pity!"

Wang Ben scolded in a deep voice: "Don't be greedy for merit!"

Xin Sheng quickly raised his hand: "Wei!"

Wang Ben continued: "Don't feel pity, let alone take luck!"

"General Xiang is not a mediocre person. The competition between our army and the Chu army will not be about whose strategy is more outstanding, but who makes fewer mistakes."

"If our army is greedy for merit and advances rashly, the Chu army will probably seize the opportunity and win in a single battle!"

After an afternoon of confrontation and testing, Xiang Yan became more vigilant towards Wang Ben, who was also in a very serious mood.

Even with a high advantage, the battle losses between the Qin Army and the Chu Army were still 3:4. This was a very scary thing for the Qin Army with a small number of soldiers!
Wang Ben has already made up his mind that this battle will be difficult to fight.

With less than half the enemy's strength and no transport passage behind him, Wang Ben didn't even have the confidence to hold on to Wuyan Mountain for too long!

A war of this intensity should not be dealt with by Wang Ben, who has not yet fully grown up!
Unconsciously looking up to the northwest, Wang Ben murmured softly: "I don't know where Lord Chang'an has gone."

　Is the Xiang family a descendant of the King Xiang's family with the surname Ji of the Zhou royal family, a descendant of the sage Shi Xiang Li, or is he a descendant of Jing Bo, the Jing family of the Chu state?Was Xiang Yan once named Jing Yan?Xiang Yu’s family pedigree and genetic relationship are both inconclusive!

　　According to "Jinyun Xiang Family Genealogy", Xiang Yan had three sons, from eldest to youngest, Xiang Qu, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo.Xiang Qu gave birth to a son, Xiang Yu.

　　According to the "Genealogy of the Xiang Family in Luling", Xiang Yan has seven sons. From eldest to youngest, they are Xiang Rong, Xiang Liang, Xiang Le, Xiang Quan, Xiang Zhu, Xiang Ji and Xiang Bai.Xiang Rong has two sons, the eldest son Xiang Yu and the second son Xiang Zhuang.

　　According to "Taoxi Xiang Family Genealogy", Xiang Yan has three sons, from eldest to youngest, Xiang Chao, Xiang Liang and Xiang Xiang.Xiang Chaosheng had a son, Xiang Yu, and Xiang Liangsheng had a son, Xiangli.

　　I also read more than ten similar genealogies and historical documents, and Xiang Yu's biological father's name appeared in six versions.

　　The similarities between the genealogies are that: 1. Xiang Yu is the eldest son and grandson; 2. Xiang Liang is the second brother.In addition, neither the names of Xiang Yu's uncles nor the name of Xiang Yan's biological father are the same. The relationship between Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Yu is also constantly changing between brothers and cousins.The three genealogies listed by Cheese are the more mainstream versions. You may have seen popular science posts based on these three genealogies in various channels.

　　Cheese first apologizes to the descendants of the Xiang family in various places. Because this kind of family history spanning thousands of years cannot be verified, so Cheese chooses to accept the statement that the Xiang family is a descendant of the Zhou royal family with the surname of Xiang, and uses the "Luling Xiang Family Genealogy" as the basis. The main body may be added or deleted during the period according to historical data and plot needs. We hope for your understanding!
