Especially those meritorious generals. When they saw that Chu Shao Yang was young and handsome, as well as his status as a West Chu traitor, they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. They could not understand why the emperor would make him the King of Chu. Not only did he give him the title of King of Chu, he also gave the military power to a traitor.
So there were people who ridiculed him, people who looked down on him, and people who spoke rudely.
Chu Shao Yang turned a blind eye to these people and turned a deaf ear to their words.
That night, in the middle of the night, he walked into the central tent alone.
The first thing he did was to beat the drum and order the generals.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! "
The deafening sound of the drum was like an angry thunder that resounded over the South Yue capital, waking up the sleeping night.
This was the beating drum!
When the generals heard the beating drum, they were all awakened from their dreams. They did not dare believe their ears as they listened to the dense rain of drum beats.
"The beating drum? Why would someone sound the Drum of General at this time? Could it be that my ears are damaged? ' Or is father dreaming? "
The generals listened carefully and found that this was not a dream at all. There was indeed someone beating the drum.
They immediately got up from their warm blankets, hurriedly mounted their horses, and galloped towards the direction of the drill ground.
Some generals didn't even bother to put on their boots and hurried to the General Selection Stage.
The army had a strict order. After the beating of the drum, all the generals and soldiers had to gather in front of the stage within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Otherwise, they would be beheaded!
No one dared to disobey the military order.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the generals and soldiers had gathered in front of the stage.
Some of them had thrown away their armour, some were barefooted, some were only wearing their upper body armour, and some had messy hair. They all looked very funny, but no one dared to laugh.
Time was too short. It was already not easy for them to arrive in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so no one cared about their image.
Only, everyone's eyes were looking at the stage.
There were several dozen torches lit around the stage, illuminating the entire stage.
Everyone could clearly see that the huge platform was empty, not a single person could be seen.
What was going on? Why was it that someone had sounded the Roll Calling Drum, but no one appeared on the Roll Calling Platform?
Could it be that someone was playing a big joke on them!
The generals and soldiers began to angrily shout.
There was actually someone who dared to use the drum to play a joke on them, they clearly did not want to live!
"Who is it! This kind of courage, actually daring to beat the drum! "
"Stand out! What kind of man are you if you don't dare to admit what you did? "
"We have to catch this person who disturbed the army and behead him!"
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, someone suddenly pointed at a corner of the stage and shouted, "Look, there's a person there!"
The soldiers looked in the direction of the man's finger, and indeed, they saw a white figure. He was dressed in a snow-white battle robe, and no one knew when he had gone up the stage, but no one had noticed.
The man in white slowly stepped forward and walked to the center of the stage. He glanced at the generals and soldiers below the stage. His gaze was dignified and deep, like a sharp arrow of ice.
"It's him!"
"It's the newly appointed King Chu, Chu Shao Yang!"
"He is King of Chu as as as of of of of!"
"That's right, he's just a traitor, who does he think he is!"
