Chapter 10 The Name of China

Originally, Xiang Yu was a little surprised that he contacted the Xiongnu so quickly.

But what surprised him even more was that Liu Bang's people were still looking for him.

Aren't the other parties afraid of attacking them directly?

Of course, my own messenger couldn't answer this question, so he asked,

"Do they have a messenger?"

Since we are looking for them, someone must be able to contact them.

The messenger nodded again and again, and returned,

"Reporting to Overlord, the messenger claiming to be from Han is outside."

Xiang Yu said immediately,

"Let him in."

He wanted to see what these people were doing to him.

Soon, a young messenger with a slightly exotic appearance but Chinese ancestry appeared in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, he saluted and said in a somewhat jerky Daqin dialect,

"I've met the Overlord."

Xiang Yu looked at the other party slightly strangely, but it wasn't because of the other party's appearance.

In today's Chu State, there are also many descendants of the union between Chu people and local people.

It's almost like this, and he even looks a little handsome.

What surprised him was that the other party actually followed Chinese etiquette.

This requires a complete inheritance, but it is difficult for Liu Bang's few people to do it.

He quickly came to his senses, nodded, and said quickly,

"Is your master not dead yet? You actually have the guts to send someone out to find me?"

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

The messenger couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

The order he received was to search for traces of Chu if possible.

But most people don’t take it seriously because the world is really too big.

Moreover, this order has been issued for many years, but no one has completed it.

Their current task is to prepare for a showdown with the barbarians in the west.

I have to say that those people's combat effectiveness is also extremely good. If it weren't for the continuous supply of weapons and resources from Great Qin,

And with the cooperation of the Huns,

They really may not be able to defeat them. After all, there are too many of them.

But now facing the aggressive Xiang Yu, he could only go back,

"Liu Bang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, is now in good health. As for the search for the Chu Kingdom, it is an order from above. I don't know the specific details."

In the previous order, no one told them what to say after contacting them.

"You don't know?"

Xiang Yu sneered at this time and said,

"It doesn't matter, as long as I know it well, I will take the letter back and give it to Liu Bang. When I have time, I must take him..."

But before he finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang on the side quickly stopped him, pulled Xiang Yu aside and whispered,

"Your Majesty, now that the Qin army is about to attack, it is not appropriate for us to make enemies everywhere."

"And if they can put some pressure on Daqin from the other side, my situation will be much better."

"Furthermore, if our army continues to evacuate westward, the Han Kingdom will also cause inconvenience to our army."

After being persuaded by his brother, Xiang Yu took a slow breath.

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, he returned to the messenger's side again.

It was just the messenger, but at this time, his face was blank, and then he asked with a bit of disbelief,

"Overlord, what did you just say you wanted to marry?"

He suspected that he had just heard something extraordinary.

Xiang Yu didn't think about the other party's messy things, and said coldly,

"Take a letter back to your master and tell him that Da Qin has been recuperating for more than ten years and is ready to conquer the world again."

"If you don't want to be destroyed, be prepared to resist the Qin Dynasty!"

Xiang Yu said briefly, and then asked Xiang Zhuang to prepare a letter to take back to the other party.

I just thought of something and asked quickly,

"Which country's language are you using now?"

This is actually a problem. After Liu Bang defected, even if he spoke Da Qin dialect, if the letters he used were not Da Qin letters,

There will also be embarrassing situations where both parties cannot understand the letter.

Xiang Yu actually admired Qin Shihuang here. At that time, different countries had different writing styles.

It is the One who directly unified these,

After that, although Da Qin had new writings, there were comparative translations between the writings.

Over the years, they have used Great Qin's books for convenience and to trade with Great Qin.

After all, they want to develop their military with all their strength and have little energy to pay attention to these things.

And one thing is for sure, these things made by Da Qin are indeed very good, and they are also extremely cheap, much more cost-effective than printing them themselves.

The messenger soon returned at this time,

"Overlord, don't worry. Although our country, the Han Dynasty, has conquered the barbaric land, it is still of Chinese origin. Naturally, we use Chinese characters, which is the same as those of Great Qin."

Their books and so on were also traded from Da Qin.

"China?"

Xiang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what he was thinking of.

He quickly waved his hand and asked the messenger to go down and wait for the letter.

After the surname left, looking at Xiang Yu who was thoughtful, Xiang Zhuang on the side couldn't help but ask,

"Overlord, but what's wrong?"

Xiang Yu thought for a while and couldn't help but ask,

"Azhuang, I seem to have heard the word Huaxia more and more recently."

When Xiang Zhuang was asked, he said naturally,

"Overlord, we are originally Chinese people. Is there any problem with this?"

The origin of Huaxia is actually very early.

During the Zhou Dynasty, it was mentioned in "Book" that "Chinese barbarians will not follow their lead."

At first, their seven kingdoms were also called Zhuxia to distinguish them from other barbarians.

So he didn't notice anything strange at first, but now the Han Dynasty on the other side also uses these words.

He vaguely noticed that something seemed wrong.

Because these books and texts all came from Da Qin, why did the other party give up the name of Da Qin and use Huaxia?

He doesn't quite understand.

After thinking for a while and not getting it, Xiang Yu stopped worrying and said quickly,

"You go write a letter and ask the messenger to take it back to Liu Bang, and then contact the Huns."

"We must try our best to understand the situation in the west."

Now it seems that the competition in the west seems to be extremely fierce, so he needs to make plans early.

Xiang Zhuang nodded and quickly took the order to leave.

Xiang Yu also quickly walked towards the palace. Today is the time to send Yu Ji and others away from here and go to the border of Dachu.

Just arrived at the gate of the palace,

Xiang Yu heard the sound of reading loudly.

"We, the Chinese people, have the beauty of uniforms, great etiquette, and are born noble."

"The superiors must have the heart to serve the country, and the subordinates must have the intention to love the people... The world must be unified..."

Hearing the sound of reading, Xiang Yu couldn't help but nodded.

Although these books are all from Da Qin, they all teach love for the country and the people, so there is nothing wrong with them.

Although the book does not particularly emphasize loving Da Chu, it does not emphasize loving Da Qin either. What he loves is Huaxia, which is also the country of Huaxia.

no problem.

Soon, he entered the palace,

At the same time, the messenger from the Han Dynasty also got the letter and rushed westward.
