Sishui County, Xiaxiang County.
In the Xiang family's villa.
The Xiang clan was called the Xiang clan with the surname Ji, and they were of the same clan as the Zhou royal family.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xiang Country was destroyed by the Lu Country. In order to remember the humiliation, the later generations changed the country name to the clan name.
During the rise of the Chu Country, the Xiang Family, who were good at fighting, played an important role. Therefore, they obtained Sishui County from the King of Chu as their fief and had been operating here for hundreds of years.
Even after being pacified by Great Qin, the Xiang family had only temporarily retreated from their main residence in the city, and they still had a lot of influence in Si Water.
Even the Prefectural Governors and Commanders that Great Qin had sent to Sishui City had been completely bribed by the Xiang Family and had become puppets.
The Xiang family's business in Si Shui was much more profound than the foundation of the Confucius family in Lu County.
After all, no matter how rich and powerful the Residence of Confucius is, they are just a bunch of pedantic scholars who are good at talking. On the other hand, the Xiang clan has been a general for generations and has countless followers.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that in the entire Si Water County, more than 70% of the families had men who had followed the Xiang family to war. They only knew about the Xiang family but didn't know about the county governor.
However, at this moment, the clan leader Xiang Liang had an anxious expression. He did not have the arrogance of a local emperor in the past.
"Has the news from Lu County come back yet?”
Xiang Liang said with a gloomy expression.
"I've already urged him!"
"We should be able to receive the news soon!”
"It's really bad luck. Two days ago, there was a sudden rainstorm. The small boat was unable to cross the soaring river, so it was delayed!”
" Elder brother," Xiang Bo asked with a puzzled expression," it's several times closer to Lu County from the Prime Minister than from Lu County to Xianyang. Even if it's delayed for a few days, it shouldn't matter, right?"”
"What do you know?"
"The Residence of Confucius is extremely wealthy. It's not just us. The descendants of the other countries must have received the news as well and are rushing there with all their might!”
"If we don't act quickly, if Wei Jiu and the others get there first, I'll see where you can cry!”
"Even if the others didn't take the lead, if we delay for a few more days, who knows where that Qin prince will run off to with the treasure. We are not as familiar with Xue County as Si Shui!”
Xiang Liang said unhappily.
"This, they shouldn't be that fast!”
"Even if they are all cavalrymen, with so much gold and silver treasures, they definitely can't walk fast. Moreover, they can only walk on the main road!”
"We only need to capture a few locals and interrogate them. We will definitely be able to find out the movements of the other party's main force!”
"As for Wei Jiu and his group, they are too weak to be on the stage. If they dare to make a move, we can just kill them all!”
Xiang Zhuang, who was at the side, said loudly.
"You!"
"Don't forget, our biggest opponent right now is Great Qin, that tyrant Ying Zheng!”
"Great Qin hasn't even fallen yet, and you're already attacking your own people. Are you planning to let the Qin people off easy?”
Xiang Liang's head immediately started to hurt even more.
It was not difficult for his clansmen to charge into the enemy's formation, but when it came to strategy, it really made people feel a little despair.
If there was a person like Zhang Zifang, as long as he could survive until that tyrant Ying Zheng passed away, the Xiang Clan would have at least a forty to fifty percent chance of conquering the world.
But now…
Sigh!
Xiang Liang sighed again.
"Uncle, you don't need to filter it. I just went to the Si River to check. The flood peak is almost over. We can try to cross the river tonight!”
"As long as we can get through, even if there are only 100 people, I have absolute confidence that I can take down the tyrant's son!”
"This money can only belong to my Xiang Clan!”
An extremely muscular young man walked in. He was the Young Clan Leader of the Xiang Clan, Xiang Yu.
"So it's Yu 'er!"
"Although you are indeed brave, you can't be too careless!”
"It is said that Ying Changfeng brought the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Violent Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han, with him. He is also a figure that cannot be underestimated!”
"Besides, you only brought a hundred people with you. Even if you could kill Ying Changfeng, you wouldn't be able to bring back so many treasures!”
"If something is lost, wouldn't it be a huge loss?”
Seeing Xiang Yu appear, Xiang Liang's expression softened slightly.
"Uncle has underestimated Yu 'er!"
Xiangyu mumbled but did not say anything else.
Although he had always liked to be brave, practice martial arts, and train soldiers, he at least knew that if he wanted to build a powerful army, he would have to have a huge amount of money.
Without sufficient rewards, the soldiers would not be willing to work for you.
The astonishing wealth of the Residence of Confucius could not only alleviate the drying up of the Xiang Clan's treasury due to the old Chu army, but also help them build a powerful elite force.
If the Bao Qin were to be transported back to Xianyang, or if Wei Jiu and the other nobles of the other five countries were to be able to afford it, it would definitely be extremely bad news for the Xiang clan.
"When the time comes, if you can transport all this wealth back, uncle will agree to Yu 'er's previous request. I will build a team of 500 personal guards for you, and you can choose any equipment you want!”
Seeing Xiangyu's nonchalant look, Xiang Liang shook his head helplessly and changed his way of speaking.
He was also secretly deciding to find the best teacher for Xiangyu.
Otherwise, with Xiang Yu's current appearance, no matter how brave he was, he would be easily schemed against on the battlefield.
At this moment, a Xiang Clan disciple suddenly rushed in in a hurry.
"Patriarch, Young Patriarch, there's the latest news from Lu County.”
