Chapter 140 Break

Liu Bang saw the King of Chu looking at him and quickly saluted, "King, although what Xiang Yu said is true, what I want to ask is that as a soldier, who did not obey the general's orders and gathered all living beings, do I have the power to punish him as the chief general of the army? Moreover, the minister who deducted military pay had already driven him out of the camp, but to prevent the soldiers from being shaken, so he did not make it public. Today, when the general Xiang came, he saw the generals who were about to behead him. In fact, I did not intend to really take their lives, but just wanted them to accept it.

Lessons, we can strictly abide by military discipline in the future. If General Xiang had not caused trouble, they would have been put back in their respective camps to rest. As the chief general of the army, how could I kill so many subordinate generals? I hope the king will understand." While speaking, Liu Bang secretly looked at the expression of the King of Chu. Seeing that the King of Chu seemed to be moved by his words, he began to arrange Xiang Yu's fault. "On the contrary, General Xiang broke into the military camp without authorization. Relying on being the chief general of the army that day, he pointed at us. It was really unreasonable."

"You..." Xiang Yu could not have thought that he had been said to be an unreasonable person by Liu Bang, and he pushed what he said to be clean. He was extremely angry. If he had not saved some face to the King of Chu, he would have been going up to kill Liu Bang, a guy who only knew how to punish for a moment, was quick to talk.

When Liu Bang saw that Xiang Yu could not compete with him, he felt relaxed and at the same time he gave Qu Dou a wink. Qu Dou understood what he meant and hurriedly said: "King, Xiang Yu had already violated the military rules. I believe that if he did not punish him severely, it would be difficult to convince the public."

"This..." The King of Chu looked at Xiang Yu standing below with embarrassment. He also understood that this was a trap set by Qu Dou and others for Xiang Yu, but the power of this trap is that even if you know it, it cannot be solved. As a bystander, he cannot defend Xiang Yu. However, to convict Xiang Yu of the King of Chu was to have conflicts with the Xiang family, thus completely pulling the King of Chu into his own camp. But the King of Chu must not refuse to express his opinion now, otherwise some people would say that he was afraid of the power of the Xiang family and dared not punish Xiang Yu. This made the King of Chu go to a dilemma and didn't know what to do. But he couldn't ignore it, so he asked: "In the opinion of Qu Lingyin, what punishment should this King of Xiang Yu be punished?"

"What is the use of a man who has no idea about military rules to expel him?" Qu Dou was prepared for a long time, so he said without thinking. He knew that as long as he expelled Xiang Yu from the army, it would be like cutting off one of Xiang Liang's arms, and then he could really fight Xiang Liang.

Unexpectedly, Qu Dou proposed such a method, and the possibility of scattering the past was gone, so he could only think temporarily and wait for Xiang Liang to come. He knew that Xiang Liang would definitely come when he learned that this matter would come. Once he came, he would naturally excuse his nephew. At that time, he would help him with something, and Xiang Yu would only have to suffer a little, and he could push all the responsibilities to Qu Dou, so that Qu and Xiang conflicts would completely intensify, so that he could make profits.

Qu Dou and others saw that the King of Chu was like this, and knew that he wanted to wait for Xiang Liang, but the three of them did not point it out and waited for the next round. So the situation in the account was a little strange. Everyone was thinking about their opponents in their hearts, but everyone did not further strengthen their words. Only Xiang Yu had nothing to say. Because he knew his temper, if he continued, he might not be able to help curse or even kill people, and he didn't want to cause too much trouble for his uncle.

At this moment, Xiang Liang's voice came from outside the tent: "My minister Xiang Liang asked to see the king."

"Just as General Xiang comes in, there is really a difficult thing here to wait for General Xiang to discuss." When the King of Chu heard Xiang Liang's voice, he said as if he had encountered a savior.

So Xiang Liang opened the tent and walked in. He glanced at Xiang Yu who was in the lower head, then bowed and asked, "I don't know what the tricky thing the king said? I came this time because my family in the mansion reported that my nephew Xiang Yu broke into the military camp. I came to call him back."

"It's so. General Xiang broke into the camp without authorization and rescued several soldiers who were supposed to be punished by military rules. He also injured several people. Now General Liu Bang refused to give up and asked me to punish General Yu. Qu Lingyin said that he wanted to drive General Xiang out of the army. This made me very embarrassed. I wonder what General Xiang thought he should deal with it?" The King of Chu said as he looked at Xiang Liang, his eyes full of expectations, hoping that he would stay out of the matter in the fight with Qu.

Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Yu'er, have you trespassed into the military camp in order to save those soldiers who violated the military rules?"

Xiang Yu didn't know what his uncle was thinking, but he thought that Xiang Liang would definitely make him excuse him, so he admitted that he said: "Yes, I broke into the camp to save them, but this is their fault first, and these soldiers will not die."

Xiang Liang's eyes swept over Qu Dou and others. Looking at their leisurely expressions, he knew that they must have a backup plan. So he said, "Yu'er, you were wrong. Even if these soldiers were indeed wronged, you shouldn't have entered the military camp without authorization."

"Do you just let these soldiers die unjustly?" Xiang Yu heard Xiang Liang say this, a sense of anger in his heart raised, but it did not occur because he was in front of everyone.

"Yes, as soldiers, the meaning of their survival is to be loyal to me, Great Chu. Since they died for me, Great Chu, whether they died in battle or with resentment, their value is the same, so Yu'er, you really did something wrong this time." Xiang Liang said sadly.

"Uncle, they are all loyal subordinates who have followed my Xiang family for several years. Do you want to watch them kill by these people who only know how to use conspiracy?" Xiang Yu said, pointing at Qu Dou and others, his tone full of anger.

"Shut up!" Xiang Liang shouted, "How can these adults be said by you, a child? Lord Qu has devoted all his efforts to make my country rich and strong in the people. What do you know? Liu and Song are also famous generals in a hundred battles. How can you evaluate it if you have only fought a few wars but led your troops alone but were defeated?"

When Xiang Yu heard this, the anger in his heart reached the critical point of venting. He asked, "What uncle meant is that I did something wrong? Then, according to your opinion, what should I punish me?" He no longer had the respect for Xiang Liang in his voice, and his tone was full of contempt.

Xiang Liang also heard Xiang Yu's anger, but he knew that once he tried to protect Xiang Yu, Qu Dou and others would use more powerful tricks to deal with his two uncles and nephews, so he could only bear this tone first. Xiang Yu would understand as long as he brought him back and explained it carefully. He was still very confident in his position in Xiang Yu's mind, so he said: "You are indeed wrong. I think the crime that Lord Qu convicted you is very suitable. You completely ignore the military rules and should not stay in the military camp anymore." Xiang Liang knew that as long as he had the vast majority of the military power of the Chu State, it would not be a piece of cake for Xiang Yu to lead troops, so he agreed to Qu Dou and others' proposal. "Please issue an order!"

Qu Dou and others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Xiang Liang would agree to punish Xiang Yu, but this was beyond their expectations, causing all the arrangements behind them to be empty. "It seems that our plan can only be stopped this time, but Xiang Liang would swallow his anger."

The King of Chu was also stunned. The situation was completely different from what he thought. After a long time, he woke up.

But the most shocking thing among them was Xiang Yu. He never expected that Xiang Liang would believe that he had done something wrong, and at the same time agreed to the punishment of Qu Dou and others to him, which made Xiang Yu very sad. But then he began to comprehensively summarize the changes in Xiang Liang's attitude towards him over the past few days, so he even believed in his heart that Xiang Liang was afraid that his power in the army would surpass him and deliberately suppress him. Yu Ziyan's persuasion to him a few days ago was completely thrown away by him at this moment. He took out the military talisman as a general from his arms and threw it on Xiang Liang, then turned around and left.

"Xiang Yu, how dare you be so arrogant in front of the king?" Qu Dou was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be angry.

After he said this, Xiang Liang was not easy to see it, so he said, "Yu'er, you can only leave after saluting the king. Do you don't understand this as a minister?"

"Haha, am I still a minister now? If you want to be a minister, go and do it. I will not be with Xiang Yu!" After saying this, Xiang Yu pulled off the curtain and walked out.

"General Xiang, I didn't expect that your nephew was so rude. It really opened my eyes." Qu Dou said with a slight smile.

"King, I will definitely punish him heavily after I go back. Please forgive me." Xiang Liang hurriedly apologized.

"Forget it, I'm a little tired, so let's go back to the palace now." Although the King of Chu was a little angry with Xiang Yu's behavior, he didn't care about Xiang Liang's repeated concessions. However, he didn't know how to ask Xiang Liang, so he had to go back to the palace with this question.

After Xiang Liang also left with King Chu, Liu Bang said to Qu, "Mr. Ling Yin, our plan was only half completed this time. What should we do next?"

"It seems that Xiang Liang saw that we had a backup plan, so he abandoned Xiang Yu and saved himself. But he could escape this time but couldn't escape next time. We always have a way to deal with him. And today, I think Xiang Yu and his uncle have had a falling out, which is a considerable gain. The smaller Xiang Liang's power, the greater the benefit we will be." Qu Dou laughed.
