Chapter 122 Strategy
"Warfare is based on deception..."
"The army's advance is unstoppable..."
"The first of the Thirty-Six Stratagems..."
Tang Yu could hear Xiang Yu reading aloud from upstairs, right outside Xiang Yu's doorway.
After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Tang Yu opened the door in disbelief.
Sure enough, they saw Xiang Yu intently studying a military treatise.
He froze, staring blankly ahead, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could we have witnessed such an outrageous scene?
Xiang Yu was reading military books?
God, could you be any more outrageous?
What expansion is this?
Could it be that this guy has really changed his mind?
At this moment, Zhang Liang, who was sitting next to Xiang Yu, immediately spoke upon seeing Tang Yu arrive.
"Young Master Zhao, you've finally arrived! Quickly, persuade General Xiang!"
"What...what's going on?"
Tang Yu stepped forward nervously and said.
This time he wasn't pretending; he was genuinely worried about Xiang Yu. He was afraid he might have damaged Xiang Yu's brain, otherwise why would he suddenly start reading military books?
When Xiang Yu noticed Tang Yu's arrival, he didn't look up; instead, he became even more engrossed in reading his military treatise.
At this moment, Zhang Liang could only explain to Tang Yu.
"Young Master Zhao, ever since General Xiang suffered a defeat at the hands of Grand Preceptor Fang and fled back in a sorry state, he has been working hard to improve himself!"
"He wants to make up for his shortcomings by reading military books. He hasn't practiced martial arts these past few days and is instead studying various military strategies. I don't know how to persuade him to stop!"
Huh? Xiang Yu is serious?
Tang Yu stared at Xiang Yu with his mouth agape in disbelief.
I thought the other person was just joking, but I never expected it to be true.
He looked up in surprise, then said in disbelief.
"Big brother, big brother, wake up!"
"Brother, it's me, Zilong!"
Listening to Tang Yu's words, Xiang Yu finally managed to pull his consciousness away from the world of military strategy.
"Ah? Zilong, what brings you here?"
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you wake your brother?"
Well! Looks like they really didn't see me!
Tang Yu initially thought the other person was focused on their studies and therefore didn't want to talk to him.
Looking back now, it seems that he was so engrossed in his book that he didn't even notice his own arrival.
"Brother, I've been here for a full quarter of an hour."
"Young Master Zhang explained your situation to me. You can't go on like this, brother!"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, a look of pain appeared on Xiang Yu's face, followed by an unyielding determination.
"Zilong! You don't understand, you really don't understand!"
Finally, Xiang Yu put the military treatise away, turned his head, and looked seriously at Zhang Liang and Tang Yu.
"I'm telling you that you've never fought that Grand Preceptor!"
"You have no idea how fast he is or how strong he is. He is an unstoppable and valiant man. Even I am no match for him!"
"If we don't use military strategy, how should we fight against the Great Qin? How should we deal with Tang Yu?"
Xiang Yu concluded with righteous indignation.
"Don't worry, leave this Imperial Preceptor Tang to me. I will definitely defeat him!"
Huh? I don't understand??
Tang Yu was a little confused when he heard this.
Damn it, so Tang Yu really did get second place in the National Advisor impersonation competition?
Don't I understand myself?
But seeing Xiang Yu's serious expression, Tang Yu still spoke.
"Brother, I know you want to help us defeat the tyrannical Qin, but I want to say that your health should be the most important thing!"
"At the same time, Zhao Li is about to participate in the third round of the secretary assessment. I've come here to discuss new strategies with you."
"Sigh, the third round of the Party Secretary assessment..."
"Yes, what should we do?"
Both Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu were stumped, but Xiang Yu was genuinely blocked, while Zhang Liang was merely pretending.
He was well aware that Tang Yu had a thousand ways to help Zhao Li pass the third round of the assessment, since Zhao Li was definitely Tang Yu's man, there was no doubt about that.
Xiang Yu was really annoyed!
Because Zhao Li was originally supposed to pass the test directly after they killed Tang Yu.
But now, not only did Tang Yu fail to kill him, but his Dao heart was directly shattered by Tang Yu. What should be done?
"This third round of assessment requires us to go into the Xianyang Palace to conduct interviews and discussions with that tyrant and that vicious imperial advisor. It seems that Zhang Liang cannot do it for us."
Zhang Liang immediately bowed, shifting the blame onto himself.
After all, it wouldn't be good for him to be too involved in this matter. He has only recently surrendered, so he still needs to be careful about the extent of his involvement.
"Alas, since Young Master Zhang hasn't offered any suggestions, does this mean our plan is going to fall through?"
Hearing their words, Xiang Yu looked at them, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely.
"Don't worry, you two."
"I have a way to make sure that kid Zhao Li passes the third round of assessments and gets a position in Jiangdong!"
Upon hearing Xiang Yu's words, both Zhang Liang and Tang Yu looked up at him, but their eyes were filled with distrust.
After all, Xiang Yu did seem somewhat unreliable in his actions.
"Brother Xiang Yu, what are your plans?"
Xiang Yu said.
"Do you remember when I told you that I had connections in the court? This time, people from all six of our kingdoms have also entered the third round of assessments."
"If all else fails, I'll have them give Zhao Li a hint and send him up to Jiangdong!"
"After all, compared to an ordinary secretary or official, the Jiangdong region is the real priority, and the officials there are members of the Xiang clan of my Chu state."
"If Zhao Li were to go there to serve as a secretary, wouldn't that be a powerful alliance between us?"
"Then let's see how the Qin state can become our enemy!"
Goodness, they have a backup plan?
Tang Yu had assumed that Xiang Yu's backup plan had already wiped them out in the first round of assessment.
Unexpectedly, there were actually several left?
However, after thinking about the people whose identities were questionable that he had investigated, Tang Yu also realized the truth.
It seems like it must be them...
Previously, when Tang Yu was conducting a political review of the Warring States period version, he found several people to be suspicious, and now with Xiang Yu's words, it can basically be confirmed.
At that time, all we need to do is keep a close watch on these few people, and we can thoroughly understand the movements and purposes of these remnants of the six kingdoms.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty will be in a state of unprecedented stability!
"In that case, we entrust the future of our anti-Qin alliance entirely to General Xiang!"
"Yes, brother, I'm counting on you!"
