Chapter 585 Xiang Yu



After leaving Xiang Yu's tent, Yang Cheng shook his head.

Xiang Yu was a proud man and a quintessential idealist.

He even said he wanted to share the world with me; how childish and naive he was to say such a thing.

Just like when Xiang Yu in history divided up the eighteen princes.

Humans are all ambitious. The era of the seven kingdoms fighting for years had long passed with the unification of the world by the First Emperor.

Qin may be destroyed, but its ideal of unifying the world will not be extinguished.

The First Emperor's achievements are unparalleled throughout history. Although some say he was tyrannical and ruthless, one achievement cannot be overlooked: he laid the foundation for the unification of China.

Since the First Emperor, every rebel has aimed to unify the world. Xiang Yu wanted to enfeoff the princes, but the princes were not satisfied with his enfeoffment.

Even if the feudal lords are satisfied, their subordinates will not be.

At this moment, Zhang Liang walked over, looking slightly tired, and asked, "My lord, what does Xiang Yu want with you?"

Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. Xiang Yu is a very proud man. He only acknowledges people who are about the same strength as him. I showed my strength, so naturally I will gain his recognition."

"Zifang, what's your opinion of Xiang Yu?"

Zhang Liang shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "A peerless general, a genius of unparalleled talent, but he lacks the aura of an emperor."

He was arrogant, domineering, and disdainful of others, lacking any capacity for tolerance. At best, he was only fit to be a regional warlord; if he wanted to contend for supremacy, he was far from capable, even inferior to Wei Bao and Xiong Wu.

Yang Cheng said in surprise, "Zifang, you're quite good at judging people."

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "It's not that I have a good eye for people, but rather that everything about Xiang Yu is written on his face."

Previously, when he was besieged by the Qin army, he had killed Tian Jing, who had dared to threaten to surrender.

This is actually a good thing. Without such decisive and ruthless methods, it would be impossible to control the situation at that time.

But what happened later? Xiang Yu should have attacked Tian Dan when it came time to distribute the credit, using Tian Jing's affair to strike at Tian Dan. This would not only have prevented him from receiving the Qin prisoners, but also damaged Tian Dan's prestige.

But he seemed to disdain mentioning Tian Jing, wasting such a good opportunity, which was truly a pity.

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "If he were full of schemes, he wouldn't have such strength."

Therefore, it remains to be seen who will ultimately control this world.

After speaking, Yang Cheng returned to his tent to rest, leaving Zhang Liang slightly puzzled.

He felt that his lord seemed to be a little too confident.

Was Yang Cheng so certain that the Qin state would definitely lose?

Meanwhile, in Xiang Yu's tent, an elderly man with a white beard and a slightly unkempt appearance entered the tent after Yang Cheng left.

“Uncle”.

Xiang Yu bowed respectfully to the old man.

This is Fan Zeng, the strategist of the Xiang family. He is a master of strategy and tactics, and the Xiang family's current scale is inseparable from Fan Zeng's planning.

Even someone as proud as Xiang Yu held him in high esteem, addressing him as "Uncle Father."

What do you think of Yang Cheng?

Fan Zeng looked in the direction Yang Cheng had left, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, I don't quite understand this person."

After the battle in Chu, he had already achieved a record and strength that allowed him to rival other feudal lords.

But I couldn't see a trace of ambition in his eyes. Even when you and he were sharing the world, he didn't show the slightest interest, as if he really didn't care about the world.

It would be somewhat inaccurate to say that he was like Zhang Liang or Yan Zhao, who had a blood feud with the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and only wanted to overthrow it.

He claimed to be a disciple of a reclusive master, and having just emerged from seclusion, what grudge could he possibly have against the tyrannical Qin Dynasty?

Moreover, I didn't see any hatred towards the tyrannical Qin Dynasty in him, so I have no idea what his purpose was.

In any case, it was the right thing to do to cooperate and befriend such a powerful lord.

Xiong Wu is ambitious but lacks talent; Tian Dan and Han Cheng are cowardly cowards; Wei Bao appears bold but is actually narrow-minded; Yan Zhao is reckless and lacks strategy. In the future, as long as the tyrannical Qin is overthrown, the world will still be ruled by your Xiang family.”

Xiang Yu said proudly, "Of course. Although the Qin Dynasty was cruel and tyrannical, it truly had the strength to sweep across the six states."

"If those incompetent rats were to rule this land, it would be better to leave it in the hands of the tyrannical Qin!"

Fan Zeng said, "Since you aspire to rule the world, you must not let any opportunity slip by."

I told you before to use the Tian Jing incident as a pretext to attack Tian Dan, why didn't you speak up?

Xiang Yu scoffed, "That coward Tian Jing, killing him would only dirty my Overlord Spear! Talking about him would only dirty my mouth!"

That Tian Dan is just as cowardly and bloated, a cowardly rat. I wouldn't stoop to arguing or fighting with him!

Fan Zeng sighed and shook his head helplessly.

When will Xiang Yu be able to get rid of this self-righteous habit?

We can keep quiet about it now, but we might suffer a great loss in the future.
