Yuan Sheng said, "I don't agree with what the Overlord said. I think back then, the Overlord granted fourteen kings outside the pass, plus the King of Qin, a total of fifteen. Now the King of Qi and the King of Jibei were defeated by Tian Heng, and King Zhao rested.

King Changshan lost his country, King Cheng of Han was executed by Overlord, King Zangtu of Yan, King Wei Bao of Western Wei rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the division of territory; King Sima Yi of Yin surrendered to Lu Fei, and Wang Shenyang of Henan was besieged by Lu Fei's defeated troops and could not protect himself. May I ask Overlord?

, there are still a few princes around you who are loyal.

"There are only a handful of people, Wang Yingbu of Jiujiang, Wang Gongao of Linjiang, and Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan. Overlord, these three people can protect Chu for Overlord. But how will you deal with the chaos in the north! Overlord can take a look,

The current rebellion in the north has nothing to do with Tian Heng of the Qi State. As far as I know, Lu Pheasant has fled to Xingyang.

How to deal with yourself! Overlord, the only one who is truly loyal to you in the north today is King Qin. If you kill King Qin, the war will rekindle in the north. Lv Zhi Zangtu will take the opportunity to enter the pass; Tian Heng and Wei Bao will attack Pengcheng, and you, Overlord Gu Dong, will not be able to take care of you.

The west is bound to be defeated due to distraction. Isn’t this just letting a group of villains reap the benefits? Qi is the real scourge of Chu! Don’t forget that the descendants of Qi have never forgotten that Duke Huan of Qi dominated the princes.

I don’t want to restore the glory of my ancestors for a day.”

"It's polite, it's polite!" Xiang Bo, who was sitting on the right hand of the chief minister, nodded and stood up: "Overlord, what Yuan Sheng said makes sense. The one who is fighting for the world with Overlord right now is not the King of Qin but King Tian Guang of Qi. The Overlord must clearly understand the situation in front of him.

"

Wang Zhu was confused for a while. Uncle Xiang really spoke for me! Why does he like to turn his elbows outward so much!

Xiang Bo's position in Xiang Yu's heart is very important. Xiang Bo's words have the same weight as Fan Zeng. Xiang Yu can't help but nod in agreement.

If Qi really rebelled, it would be difficult to fight on both sides.

"Overlord, don't listen to Yuan Sheng's sweet words. You can appoint Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, as the king of Zhao. This will be able to contain Zang Tu, Lu Pheasant and others. Besides, it is still unclear whether Zang Tu is really rebelling?" Fan Zeng glared at Xiang.

Bo glance.

Yuan Sheng's strategy is to divert Xiang Yu's attention to Qi State. This will make Xiang Yu have the illusion and chase after Tian, ​​so that the pressure on Qin State will be lightened.

"Of course King Changshan can be the King of Zhao, but that won't solve the problem. The State of Zhao is now in ruins. General Zhao, Zhang Tong, Xia Shuo, and Han Xin of the Tianjiao, Tianjian, Jingxingkou, and Julu generation are leading the remaining soldiers.

The defeated general is wandering around, not harassing or robbing food. May I ask, King Changshan, how do you feed the soldiers of Zhao!"

Xiang Yu laughed and said, "This is not a problem. Chu is rich and can transport grain!"

Yuan Sheng said, "That's the problem. If the king wants to transfer grain, he must pass through the territories of Wei Bao, king of Western Wei, and Sima Yi, king of Yin. Will they let you pass?"

"This -" Xiang Yu was stunned! "I will raise troops immediately to destroy them!"

"Overlord, it will take time to eliminate these people. How should we deal with the chaos in Zhao State!"

"Haha, Yuan Sheng is indeed a debater -" Xiang Bo stood up and stood up a civil servant. He was tall, with a golden crown and a square face. Between his resolute eyebrows, there was a scar diagonally across the bridge of his nose.

"Lu Qing, Lieutenant Lu, what do you mean?" Xiang Yu has always trusted Lu Qing.

"I don't mean anything. I just heard what Yuan Sheng meant, that is, the State of Qin can supply King Changshan with food and grass so that he can pacify Zhao!"

Yuan Sheng said: "That's it!" Xiang Yu looked at Lu Qing: "Is it feasible?"

Lu Qing said, "I think it is feasible, and I also feel that the overlord's great enemy should be Qi. The one who is fighting for the world with you now is the King of Qi, Tian Guang, not the King of Qin."

"Overlord, Qi Wang Tian Guang, Lu Pheasant, and Wei Bao are really the root of the threat to Chu and must be eliminated!"

The speaker is an old Confucian scholar, with a rich robe and jade belt, a red face, a straight nose and a square mouth, like a profiteer. He is so old, his fingers are like snow, and his skin is smooth. It seems that he has never suffered in this life, which is different from most generals of Chu State.

.

"Overlord, Han Xin still has 20,000 troops in Julu. Tianjiao Tianjian Xia said that Zhang Tong's Zhao army also has 30,000 to 40,000 troops in total. The power of Zhao's counterattack cannot be underestimated. If you let King Changshan judge the suppression of the rebellion,

If there are too few troops and horses left, it will definitely not be effective. If you leave too much food and grass, it will be a problem. Moreover, I am also worried - worried about Shenyang, the king of Henan. If Shenyang is defeated in Henan, from Hanguguan to Qi, and then

When we arrived at Pengcheng, everything was occupied by the rebels. Zhao and Chu were completely divided. The overlords couldn't care about each other. What should we do?"

Xiang Yu said: "Aren't there still Koreans? You can enter Zhao from Wancheng!"

"If Shen Yang is defeated, Wancheng's food route will also be blocked. Moreover, Han* is a villain and must not be trusted!"

"Zheng Chang! What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to harm the Overlord?" Fan Zeng couldn't hold back his anger. He felt very isolated. The strangest thing was that Changshan King Zhang Er never spoke.

Fan Zeng winked at him frequently!

Zhang Er finally said: "Overlord, now we need to divide our troops into two groups, one to pacify Zhao and Henan, and the other to rescue Pengcheng. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Zhao alone to take care of Henan!"

Fan Zeng couldn't believe his ears and said sternly: "Zhang Er, you are crazy!"

Zhang Er is not crazy, he is very sober. Chen Ying's gold and silver are not in vain, and his son Zhang Ao is still in his hands!!

"Report, Your Majesty, urgent military information!" Two generals broke into the tent, it was Yu Ziqi and Long Qie.

Yu Ziqi's eyes were on fire, and his feet were like hot wheels. His combat boots and armor scales clanged loudly: "Overlord, Shenyang, the king of Henan, is in danger. Lu Fei's rebels are besieging Suiyang. Suiyang is in danger. Please send troops to rescue immediately."

."

"Nonsense, Lu Pheasant is newly defeated and still has a few soldiers under his command. How can he be so capable?"

Yu Ziqi looked at Wang Zhu with a look of resentment in his eyes: "I heard - I heard that Qi soldiers are participating in the war!!"

"Report, Pengcheng is in danger!" Ji Bu shouted outside the tent.

Xiang Yu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and shouted: "Come in quickly!"

"A letter has arrived from Grand Sima Zhou Yin, and Tian Heng has led a massive attack with one hundred thousand troops." Ji Bu's voice trembled. His wife, children, and children were also in Pengcheng!

"Quickly, order Wang Yingbu of Jiujiang to go to the rescue!" Xiang Yu seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw.

"Overlord, Zhou Yin has sent people many times to ask the King of Jiujiang to send troops. But the King of Jiujiang seems to be very ill——"

"Peng!" Xiang Yu punched the table hard, shattering a wine glass. His eyes cracked and said: "This black-faced man is deliberately trying to get in trouble with me. Long Qi, Ding Gong, give it to you two."

50,000 troops, march straight to Jiujiang, destroy the country of Jiujiang, and bring this ungrateful Yingbu back to me."

The civil and military officials of Western Chu were all dumbfounded. Long Qie was even more afraid to accept the order and stammered: "Overlord, the enemies are Lu Pheasant and Tian Heng. How can we attack Jiujiang? I might make Yingbu angry, and the south will be in chaos."

If he surrenders to Tian Heng, not only Pengcheng, but also the nine counties of Western Chu will be unable to be saved!!"

Xiang Yu also felt his head was burning and he blurted out what he said. After being emotional, he felt that it was inappropriate.

"Pengcheng has no choice but to save us. Send an order and raise the troops immediately!"

"Overlord, what should we do about Zhao's affairs?" Fan Zeng saw that things were going to be bad. Xiang Yu did not intend to execute the King of Qin, but wanted to delay the situation.

Xiang Bo spoke again: "Why don't we appoint King Changshan as King of Zhao, make Zheng Chang the King of Han instead of Han, let them deal with Lu Pheasant here, and our troops will return to Pengcheng."

Zheng Chang said in fear: "I have thanked Zuo Yin for his kindness, but I am afraid that with a small army and few generals, it will be difficult for him to take on the big task." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice: "King Qin, can you lend me a helping hand?"

"I will do my best to serve the overlord and repay the overlord's kindness in preserving the country. I will not hesitate to die!" Wang Zhu thought to himself that his life was saved. Next, it was time for Xiang Yu to make a mistake.

"Overlord, the remnants of the violent Qin Dynasty, cannot be trusted——"

"Father, the King of Qin is loyal. Don't misunderstand me. You'd better prepare to break camp and retreat!" Xiang Yujue said Fan Zeng's words didn't make sense. The King of Qin was such a good man, loyal and honest, how could he rebel?

Fan Zeng knew Xiang Yu's temper. As long as it was something he decided, even ten oxen could not bring him back. But he was not willing to fail like this, and he would take it into his mind as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"Overlord, the King of Qin is an honored guest, and we, Western Chu, are a country of etiquette. Now that we are here, how can we not let people have a meal and a glass of wine before leaving. No matter how urgent the military situation is, there is no rush for this moment, what do you think?

" These words speak to Xiang Yu's heart. Xiang Yu always pays attention to the image of a hero when doing things, and is most afraid of making the world laugh. He will not be careless in matters of etiquette.

"Send an order to hold a banquet immediately to entertain the King of Qin!"

Wang Zhu was ready to run away, but he didn't expect that old man Fan Zeng came out to cause trouble again, and the mood he had just relaxed was in his throat again.

Old dog, sooner or later I'll scratch your skin.

Although the war was tense, Xiang Yu could not be sloppy in order to save face, and entertained Wang Zhu in full accordance with the standards of a state banquet. The green and purple tables were filled with delicacies in the shape of King Wen of Zhou's gossip. There were young sheep, suckling pigs,

There are chickens and hares; there are fish, shrimps, and crabs; there are sunflower vegetables, mountain bamboo shoots, young lotus roots, and the precious Chu wine.

Xiang Yu raised his wine glass and said with a forced smile: "The King of Qin was frightened just now. It was all a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I would like to propose a toast to you."

"Thank you, Overlord, for the wine!" Wang Zhu completely regarded himself as a slave in front of Xiang Yu, fully allowing Xiang Yu to carry forward his arrogance. During the dinner, Xiang Yu took all the flattering photos of Wang Zhu wearing high hats.

"Overlord, the King of Qin is the king of a country. To entertain such a distinguished guest requires singing and dancing." Fan Zeng's thin neck had veins bulging out, as if he was cruel.

"Father, there are no singing girls in the military camp, what should we do?" Compared to Fan Zenglai, Xiang Yu's brain is much simpler. It's like the difference between a calculator and a computer.

"Overlord, why don't you find someone to dance with the sword to entertain you!" Xiang Yu thought to himself, let King Qin see the strong men of Chu and frighten him. "Okay, just listen to Yafu and order someone to dance with the sword to entertain him."

Fan Zeng cupped his hands at Xiang Yu, who was sitting tall and steady as a mountain, and quickly walked out of the handsome tent.

Fan Zeng came outside the tent and saw a group of generals standing by. Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Sheng, Zhong Limei, Ji Xin, and Xue Gong were all there. He thought it would be better to find someone close to him to do this kind of thing.

"Xiang Zhuang, come here!"

Although Xiang Zhuang's surname was Xiang, he was a very steady man and always respected Fan Zeng. He hurried over and cupped his hands and said, "Father, please call me."

Fan Zeng nodded and said nothing, and walked away, intending to find a quiet place to talk to Xiang Zhuang. But when he looked back, Xiang Sheng was following him. Fan Zeng didn't pay attention, thinking that it was Xiang Zhuang after all.

Uncle Xiang also has the surname Xiang. How can he return——

"Xiangzhuang, in a moment you will go into the tent, dance with your sword to cheer up, and take the opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin, do you hear me?"

"Ah!" Xiang Zhuang said in surprise; "Is this an order from the Overlord?"

"Exactly!"

"However, I heard that King Qin's martial arts is not weak. He once competed with the overlord before Hangu Pass and gave no more concessions. Can I do it?"

When Xiang Sheng heard that he was plotting to kill the King of Qin, I had to try to save him. He quickly said, "Xiang Zhuang is too young, and his swordsmanship has not yet reached the level of proficiency. Please leave this opportunity of meritorious service to me, Yafu."

When Fan Zeng saw Xiang Sheng volunteering, he was very happy: "This matter is of great importance, you must handle it well!" Xiang Sheng said: "Don't worry, Yafu, I will definitely look for opportunities!"

Fan Zeng looked deeply at Xiang Sheng: "The country of Da Chu is in your hands."
