Chapter 39 You don't deserve to be a fighter

Professor Yu's speech is about to begin. The staff pulled all the curtains, and the whole lecture hall immediately became dark. Then, the magnesium light above the podium suddenly lit up, and a beautiful hostess in a cheongsam came out with a microphone and said clearly, "Good morning, students present! Next, let's welcome Professor Yu Retro, a famous historical expert at home and abroad, to give you a wonderful speech with the warmest applause!"

"Wang..." The applause suddenly sounded like boiling water for a long time.

In the warm applause, a bald old man in a suit and leather shoes came out. He first bowed to the audience, then walked to the podium, took out his speech, and began his speech: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today, I want to tell you the story of a historical legend. This character is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who has a lot of controversy in later generations..."

"Xiang Yu made indelible contributions to overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty... Although Xiang Yu has made many of the above achievements in history, he has also committed heinous crimes. The first major crime: cheated Qin and surrendered 200,000 soldiers! At that time, Xiang Yu broke the boat and won a complete victory in the Battle of Giant Deer. Qin general Zhang Han was forced to lead 200,000 Qin troops to surrender. Xiang Yu was worried about the rebellion, so he buried 200,000 Qin soldiers alive in Xin'an..." Professor Yu Retro gave a speech endlessly, and the audience listened attentively.

At this moment, a hand was raised high in the back row.

Professor Yu immediately stopped his speech, then reached out to invite Qi Yue, who raised his hand, and said, "This classmate, do you have any different views on what I just said?"

"Yes!" Qi Yue stood up and said rudely, "Professor Yu, what you said earlier is very good, but it is wrong to say that Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin soldiers just now!"

Professor Yu was stunned, quickly pulled out the glasses in his suit pocket and put them on. The old man's eyes widened so that he could see Qi Yue's appearance clearly. This classmate is right. Many people are indeed skeptical about the number of Xiang Yu's killing of 200,000 Qin troops..." Professor Yu quickly added.

Qi Yue interrupted Professor Yu before he finished speaking and said, "Professor Yu, in fact, the figure of 200,000 is basically true, but it does not belong to Xiang Yu's fraud pit. The reason why Professor Yu thinks so is that Professor Yu doesn't know Xiang Yu's personality too well! Although Xiang Yu is addicted to killing, he disdains to use this fraudulent and despicable means to deceive unarmed soldiers! Even if he kills people, he will only confront the enemy through open and upright means..."

After Qi Yue finished speaking, all the people present were shocked, including the historical and retro professor standing on the stage! Thousands of pairs of eyes suddenly swept towards Qi Yue, making Qi Yue suddenly become the focus of the audience.

You know, starting from the Historical Records, Chinese history books, including textbooks in primary and secondary schools, regard the killing of 200,000 Qin soldiers by Xiang Yu as an unquestionable fact, but Qi Yue denied this fact as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Very good! Young people dare to imagine and assume, which is one of the qualities necessary for success!" Professor Yu first praised Qi Yue's courage, and then said further, "But if learning only stays at the stage of imagination and hypothesis, it is far from enough!" This classmate said that Xiang Yu did not kill 200,000 soldiers, so what is the basis for this view?

"It's very simple!" Qi Yue began to search for memories about this matter in his mind and said, "In fact, the truth is that Xiang Yu continued to march west after collecting Zhang Han's 200,000 soldiers. The surrender army led the way in the front, and Xiang Yu's army was in the back. At this time, the Qin army, which had originally belonged to the 300,000 people in the north to build the Great Wall led by Meng Tian, suddenly went south and launched a night attack on the 200,000 surrender troops to Xin'an City. There was a fierce scuffle between the two sides, killing more than 200,000 people overnight. Later, Xiang Yu's army followed up and joined the battle, immediately defeated the Qin army and integrated the rest of the Qin army. The so-called 'ten thousand pit' is not used by Xiang Yu to kill Qin's soldiers, but to bury the soldiers who died in the battle!"

After listening to Qi Yue's words, Professor Yu Retro couldn't help knocking on the podium with his knuckles and said, "Young man, you are still in the stage of hypothesis and imagination!" As I said before, when you express your opinion, be sure to show your evidence! Otherwise, please don't talk nonsense!"

Evidence? Of course I have evidence!" Qi Yue straightened up and said, "At that time, I witnessed the whole thing! How can you say that there is no evidence when you see it with your own eyes?

"Hahaha..." The listeners who listened attentively couldn't help laughing.

"Funny, really funny..." "That's right, this boy is so presumptuous that he talked nonsense in Professor Yu's lecture hall..." "I also witnessed it with his own eyes. He thought he would play time travel..." A group of people whispered against Qi Yue in private.

Professor Yu shook his head helplessly at Qi Yue and said, "This classmate, when discussing academic issues in the future, I hope you can treat it with reverence, instead of joking like today..."

"I'm talking about the truth, not a joke..." Qi Yue continued to defend himself.

However, Professor Yu ignored Qi Yue's defense and continued his speech on the topic: "... In addition to these, Xiang Yu also did something that still seemed infuriating, that is, to set fire to the Afang Palace. Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty commented on this in his "Afang Palace Fu": 'The torch of Chu people, poor scorched earth'..."

"It's nonsense!" Hearing this, Qi Yue couldn't help standing up again and said angrily.

"This classmate, do you have any ideas to publish?" The bald old professor held his eyes and said to Qi Yue.

"This is not my own idea, but the truth! Attention, it's true!" Qi Yue was a little excited, and even his voice trembled a little. "When Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang City, he did set fire to the palace, but it was limited to those flashy palaces in the Qin Dynasty. As for Afang Palace, Xiang Yu has neither burned nor can it! Because until the end, the Afang Palace has not been built at all! How can you burn down a palace that has not been built?

This time, no one believes in Qi Yue anymore. Professor Yu didn't want to argue too much with Qi Yue, but said lightly, "Young man, you can't just talk based on fantasy, but on evidence!" After saying that, he began to continue the next speech!

"You don't deserve to be an academic fighter!" Qi Yue pointed to Professor Yu Retro and scolded hatefully, and got up and left the academic lecture hall.

When Yang Liu saw Qi Yue leave, he also quickly chased him out...
