When it was dark, Fan Zeng came to Xiang Mansion and asked to see Xiang Yan.

But Xiang Yan was busy gathering troops from all over the place to Yingdu. Fan Zeng waited for an hour in Xiang Mansion, and Xiang Yan, who was exhausted, returned from outside the city.

"Mr. Fan, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xiang Yan had just stepped over the threshold and didn't care about washing away the dust on his face, so he apologized to Fan Zeng, "The scale of the troops dispatched this time was too large, and he had to transfer troops from Changsha, Wuling and other places. Only after the 20,000 troops from Lujiang and Chaisang arrived, the number could reach 100,000."

Fan Zeng sighed: "The Battle of Yique suddenly ruined the lives of 100,000 soldiers in the Great Chu. This is a total of 100,000 strong, and it will be a huge loss for any country."

Xiang Yan also sighed to the sky: "One hundred thousand strong, almost every family in Yingdu was mourned, every household was mourning, and the battle in Yique is a shame that will never be erased by my great Chu!"

After Xiang Yan washed away the dust, changed his clothes and returned to sit down with Fan Zengfen, and ordered the servants to serve tea.

"I wonder what advice Mr. Fan has for you to come to Yan?" Xiang Yan asked after taking a sip of tea.

Fan Zeng bowed and said, "General Xiang is so serious that he dare not take the word "instruction". But now there is a great opportunity to make Chu powerful. I wonder if the monarch and ministers of Chu can seize it?"

"Please make it clear by Mr. Fan?" Xiang Yan listened with gaze.

"Tang Gong Fangli has passed Xiangyang and will arrive in Yingdu in three or four days." Fan Zeng picked up the tea bowl, blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and said.

Xiang Yan nodded: "Duke Tang traveled thousands of miles to join the Chu Gui, which shows his sincerity. In the future, Chu and Tang are united in their hearts, so why worry about the Qin army not breaking!"

Fan Zeng took a sip of hot tea and raised his voice: "The opportunity Zeng mentioned lies with Tang and Fang Li. The 250,000 troops of Chu have entered the territory of Tang. If Chu Gong wants to, he can first put Fang Li in house arrest in Yingdu, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness of Tang to take down Wancheng, Xingyang, Henei and other places. The strength of Chu will increase greatly, like a tiger with wings."

Xiang Yan was shocked when she heard this, and she held the tea bowl for a long time and was speechless.

After a long time, he said slowly, "This matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. I am afraid that your lord will not agree!"

Fan Zeng bowed and said, "Please take me into the palace to meet Duke Chu. I hope to persuade Duke Chu to imprison Fangli to destroy the Tang Kingdom with his three inches of tongue."

Fan Zeng's words made Xiang Yan's heart beat much faster. If Fan Zeng's plan could be realized, the strength of Chu would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced, and the territory would extend to the north of the Yellow River, and even a double-team for Qin.

But if it fails, how much damage will it bring to Chu State? Xiang Yan dare not imagine...

Fan Zeng's eyes emitted a hot light, and he begged: "General Xiang Yan, Zeng knows that this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by you. Please take me into the palace to meet Duke Chu, analyze the pros and cons, and convince him to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Okay...I'll take you into the palace!"

Two carriages left Xiang Mansion and headed straight for Chu Palace surrounded by twenty guards.

With Xiang Yan's recommendation, Fan Zeng successfully met Xiong Lu, the monarch of the Great Chu.

After hearing Fan Zeng's purpose, Xiong Lu was shocked and said with a caress, "You said I would let Fang Li first put her house arrest, and then let the army raid the Tang Dynasty's Wancheng, Xingyang and other places?"

“That’s right!”

Fan Zeng nodded, his eyes firmly, "If Mr. Chu can do this, why worry that Chu cannot dominate the world?"

Xiong Lu looked unreasonable: "The enemy of Da Chu is Qin. If he attacks the allies, wouldn't he let his relatives suffer and his enemies be happy?"

"If the Great Chu can successfully destroy the Tang Kingdom, it will gain more than 2 million people and the territory across the Yellow River, forming a situation of attacking Qin Kingdom from north to south, and be more confident of defeating the powerful Qin Kingdom!" Fan Zengkang made a generous speech.

Xiong Lun's face was cold: "Tang State is an ally of our Great Chu, and will provide enough assistance to Great Chu. How can I Great Chu use troops to the Allied Powers?"

Fan Zeng said: "The world is a combination of benefits and is divided by disadvantages. The Tang Kingdom may join forces with Chu to resist Qin today, and may join forces with Qin to resist Chu tomorrow. Only by turning the territory and people of Tang into the people and territory of the Great Chu can it be used forever by Chu Gong!"

"If you do this, the princes in the world will laugh at me for betrayal and despise me!"

Fan Zeng whispered loudly: "The success and the defeat of the enemy. If the Great Chu can successfully annex the Tang Kingdom and defeat the Qin Kingdom, who in the world dares to say no to Mr. Chu? By then, dominate the world and surrender to the world, it is just around the corner!"

The bear couple thought for a moment, and his head shook like a rattle: "No, your plan is too risky. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. I will never take this risk. You should retreat quickly and don't mention this matter again. If the news leaks, don't blame me for apologizing to Mr. Tang!"

Fan Zeng was disappointed, sighed slightly, and bowed, "Since that's the case, the civil servants will leave!"

Xiang Yan hurriedly took Fan Zeng away and left the Chu Palace to return to Xiang Mansion. In the living room, he repeatedly told Fan Zeng not to mention this matter to others in the future, so as not to leak the news and cause trouble.

Fan Zeng sighed and said sadly: "Mr. Chu is loyal and honest, but lacks courage. The State of Chu can only dominate one area at most, and it is afraid it will be difficult to conquer the world!"

Xiang Yan comforted his thumb and said, "The land owned by Chu State is only one-tenth of the world. There is Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Jin and Zhao in the north. How easy is it to conquer the world? As a minister, Yan can only do his best to do his best and leave his will!"

The night is getting deeper and the noise is gradually dissipating.

Fan Zeng was the only one walking alone on the long streets of Yingdu, and unfortunately he couldn't find a monarch who could make him serve.

When the Tang army led by Fang Li walked to Changbanpo, Dangyang County, he met the Chu doctors Qu Yuan and Jian Yong who came to greet him.

Fang Li looked at Changbanpo on the horse, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is a place where Zhao Zilong became famous and powerful in history. I wonder if there is still a chance to shine in this life?"

Qu Yuan tied his reins and brought his horse to Fang Li to salute him; "Qu Yuan, the doctor of Chu, came to greet Duke Tang with the order of his lord."

Fang Li respected this patriotic poet who was well-known before traveling through time, and hurriedly turned over and got back to the horse and returned the favor: "I'm sorry to welcome you, I'm polite!"

After looking at Fang Li's appearance, Qu Yuan praised: "Tang Gongsheng is handsome, majestic, and has a domineering style. Duke Chu betrothed Princess Yue to Duke Tang, which is considered to be the right person!"

Fang Li smiled and said, "Haha... Qu Yuan has been awarded too much, but I heard that Princess Miyue is so weird and tight!"

Qu Yuan laughed: "Haha... that's when Princess Yue didn't meet her true husband. I believe that with Mr. Tang's spirit, Princess Yue will definitely be able to be obedient and be a good wife and mother who cares for her husband and children."
