At this moment, Xiang Chao entered the palace wearing armor and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, my son Xiang Yu has been able to lift a tripod since he was young. He can lead the vanguard and kill the Qin general Lü Bu!"
As soon as the words fell.
Many Chu generals burst into laughter.
They knew about Xiang Chao's son, Xiang Yu.
But if you calculate his age, Xiang Yu was only eighteen.
Never fought in battle.
How to be a pioneer?
Not to mention killing Lu Bu in battle.
Even Mi Xiong thought so.
In fact, he knew in his heart that he had let the Xiang family down.
Since Xiang Yan's death, the Xiang family's power in Chu has plummeted.
Either they were occupied by the princes and ministers in front of them, or they were squeezed out by political enemies.
Mi Xiong was troubled by the fact that the Xiang family had too much influence in Chu, so he just watched the decline of the Xiang family and did not care at all.
But he knew that the Xiang family had always been loyal to the Chu royal family.
That's why he felt that he owed the Xiang family something.
I am thinking of employing more rising talents from the Xiang family in the future.
But this does not mean that Xiang Chao, a greenhorn, can be the pioneer.
This is war, not a joke.
After a pause, Mi Xiong smiled and said, "Xiang Chao, I know that your Xiang family is loyal to the country. For generations, your Xiang family has sacrificed their lives for our royal family.
Now, although it has been three years since the death of Marshal Xiang Yan, there is no need for you in the Xiang family to be so anxious to enter the officialdom. Everything you have done for the country has been hard enough.
It's time to have a good rest. Why let a child go to the battlefield to seek death? I promise you, when your son turns 20, I will let him go to the battlefield. "
The three Xiang brothers are good at leading troops, but they are not so good at fighting against enemy generals alone.
What's more, after Xiang Yan's death, Mi Xiong's order for Wu Qi to continue attacking Qin caused dissatisfaction among many members of the Xiang clan.
Mi Xiong was even more worried that if Xiang Chao was allowed to be the vanguard, not only would he be unable to kill the enemy general Lu Bu and boost the morale of the three armies, but he might also become at odds with the commander-in-chief.
This is a big taboo in military strategy.
From the beginning to the end, Mi Xiong never thought that a child who had just turned eighteen could take on the position of vanguard.
Xiang Chao said solemnly, "Your Majesty, my son Xiang Yu, although not yet twenty, can already lift a thousand-jin tripod with one arm, and the spear he holds weighs seventy-three jin!"
The weapons of Xiang Yu and Zhao Yun combined weighed less than 70 kilograms.
Obviously, all the generals in the Chu court thought that Xiang Chao was bragging.
But just as they were about to laugh.
But I saw it in front of the main hall.
A burly man was holding up a large tripod with one hand and walking slowly towards the center of the hall.
This man was eight feet tall and had a strong build. Upon closer inspection, one could see that he had double pupils in his eyes.
this...
This is the sign of a king!
"Double pupils... This person actually has double pupils!"
"Oh my goodness, a tripod this big must weigh at least 700 to 800 kilograms, right? Could what Xiang Chao said be true?"
"Born with divine power and double pupils... this is... this is a unique feature only possessed by a king!"
“Incredible, incredible!”
“…”
At this moment, all the ministers were stunned by Xiang Yu's supernatural power.
Emperor Mi Xiong of Chu was also shocked. At this moment, he suddenly stood up and looked at Xiang Yu in amazement.
