Chapter 179 Meeting
"Last time, I, along with Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu, plotted to assassinate the Grand Preceptor Tang Yu."
"...Of course, I did this intentionally."
"But in the end, I used my own fists to break Xiang Yu's Dao heart."
"So at that time, he seemed to have changed his ambitions and did not want to become a great general, but was preparing to develop in the direction of self-reliance."
"After all, he realized that in terms of martial prowess, he could never surpass the Imperial Preceptor Tang Yu in his entire life."
After telling the story briefly, Tang Yu looked at the sentimental Fusu and said with a rather smug look in his eyes.
"Haha, I never expected that even the famous Hegemon of Western Chu in history would lose. As the saying goes, Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages."
"But in my eyes, he is no match for me."
"I never expected that Xiang Yu would actually study military strategy. It's truly laughable, it's hilarious. He's clearly gone down the wrong path, hahahahaha."
Hearing his own arrogant laughter, Tang Yu suddenly remembered something.
Thinking of Han Xin, who was working hard to strengthen his body, his expression changed instantly.
"Oh no, my Han Xin!"
……
When Tang Yu walked out of the military camp, he was completely numb.
After all, Han Xin did not accompany him to Pei County these past few days, but stayed in Xianyang City.
Han Xin went to the military camp for training, and for the past few days he has been lifting weights and practicing combat skills every day.
He was practically trying to mold himself into a modern-day king of soldiers.
Tang Yu was heartbroken at the time, thinking, "Kid, are you a king of soldiers or a god of war?"
What I want is the military genius Han Xin, the more the better, not this King of Soldiers.
If I need a top-tier soldier, why the hell don't I go find Xiang Yu?
Good grief, in the end, I was the clown myself?
Tang Yu never expected that Xiang Yu, whom he had mocked his whole life, was actually much better than him.
Han Xin went to the gym?
It's like someone who's spent their whole life hunting eagles, only to have their eyes pecked out in the end.
However, he no longer had time to concern himself with Han Xin's affairs, because he was going to find his future best friend, Xiao He.
We'll deal with Han Xin's matter later.
However, right now, it is extremely important to plant Xiao He as a thorn in Xiang Yu's side.
"Your Excellency, Xiao He requests an audience."
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Xiao He immediately switched identities.
Looking at the respectful Xiao He before him, Tang Yu spoke earnestly to him.
"Tomorrow is the day that Xiang Yu, the anti-Qin leader, wants to meet with you. At that time, you should answer all questions about his actions and words truthfully."
"But I need you to do something."
"That means no matter how you answer, you need to join his faction and gain his trust. That shouldn't be too difficult for you."
Xiao He looked at Tang Yu in front of him and finally nodded heavily.
"Reporting to the Grand Preceptor, it is certainly not difficult."
"Xiao He, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"But don't worry, I know your talent. You're not suited to be a spy; being a spy is just a cover for your identity."
“You are not only my spy planted on Xiang Yu’s side, but also the future prime minister of my Qin state.”
"I believe that with your talent, you can truly shine in the position of Prime Minister, so we will play a big game together in the future."
"And you are not only the most important piece, but you may also be upgraded to the player."
Tang Yu directly told Xiao He the truth: his confidence came from nothing but the pursuit of truth.
After all, he has an S686 in his hand and can fire various shotgun shells.
Tang Yu really had nothing to fear about this era.
If only force could solve everything.
Tang Yu even considered killing off each of the historically famous figures one by one.
Then, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want?
After banishing this crazy idea from his mind, he nodded at the shocked Xiao He and Tang Yu in front of him.
"Yes, your talent truly lives up to my prediction, so you must make the most of tomorrow."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He spoke these words to Xiao He not to make empty promises, but to simply state a principle.
He was preparing to make a grand plan for the future, one that would completely shatter Xiang Yu's ambitions and overthrow the Qin state.
Wasn't Xiang Yu trying to make Xiao He a member of the anti-Qin alliance?
In that case, Tang Yu used his power and Xiao He's talent to help Xiao He climb to an extremely high position.
Xiang Yu might be overjoyed at that time.
After all, the Qin state's high-ranking officials now have one of their own people, so isn't that a sure thing?
If Xiao He were to betray Xiang Yu at the very end, Xiang Yu's resolve would surely crumble.
At the same time, we can also test Xiao He's true worth along the way.
This was Tang Yu's plan.
He made unique uses for all the spies he had placed under Xiang Yu's command, and he never wasted any talent.
We will also not allow any useless person to take advantage of the situation.
……
"Brother Xiang, the person has been brought."
Seeing Xiang Yu's serious expression, Tang Yu pushed Xiao He, who was standing next to him, forward.
"Brother Xiao He, this is my other elder brother whom we met before, Brother Xiang Yu."
"This man is a nobleman of the State of Chu, of extremely high status, but he has long admired Brother Xiao He, and therefore has specially invited Brother Xiao He to meet him today."
Tang Yu's introduction was certainly a great honor for Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu glanced at Tang Yu and quickly spoke to Xiao He.
“Brother Zilong is right.”
“I had heard of the great name of the Xiao brothers when they participated in the assessment of secretaries and officials, which is why I came here today.”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group sat down in a teahouse.
At this point, Xiang Yu began to intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward the identity of the secretary/official.
"I wonder if Brother Xiao He knows where he will be going to take up his post?"
Hearing Xiang Yu's question, Xiao He looked at Tang Yu with a puzzled expression.
It wasn't that he didn't know where he would be assigned to his post, but rather that he didn't know where Tang Yu planned to place him.
After all, Tang Yu is the Imperial Advisor, and everything is arranged and decided by Tang Yu.
Xiao He then spoke to Xiang Yu with some seriousness.
"Young Master Xiang, I don't know where I'm to take up my post."
"Is that so? It seems Brother Xiao He is somewhat confused!"
"However, in the Qin Kingdom, in order to make a name for oneself and stand out from the crowd, in addition to ability, other things are also very important."
"And today, I happen to have a great gift to give to Brother Xiao He."
