At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 150 The humble Fan Zeng and the upcoming return of Bao Qin

Not long after Liu Bang and the others arrived, Wu Chen's old brother Shao Sao also fled to Chen County with hundreds of people.

"Please King Han to avenge my general!" Shao Sao knelt down to Xu Fan when he saw him and asked for help.

Shao Sao and the others fled in a rather embarrassed manner, because they learned about the defeat of Qin Jiawuchen relatively late, and Xiang Yu was chasing him, so they had no choice but to hide in Tibet, and they escaped to Chen County even later than Liu Bang and the others. .

However, his actions did not arouse the sympathy of the senior generals of the Han State. Instead, they made everyone a little angry. Yingbu sarcastically said: "You are the ministers of the Chu State, and Qin Jia is the commander of the Chu State. We are Han ministers, so we are not qualified to avenge you."

Chen Xiao even mocked: "If you want to avenge the military officials, you should also go to the King of Chu. Why did you come to my country of Han?"

Although Chen Xiao was competing with Xiang Liang for control of the Xiang clan, he said in his heart that Xiang Liang had done a good job.

Other military officials of the Han Dynasty also had the same mentality as Chen Xiao. What Wu Chen and Qin Jia did at the beginning was ruining their future. Now that they came to ask for help, they did not add insult to injury because they were all rebel brothers from Chen County.

Only Wu Guang felt the same for Shao Sao. He stepped forward to pull Shao Sao up and said: "Don't think about revenge for Wu Chen. We are all brothers. You will not be worse off staying in Han than Wu Chen. The King of Han has a broad mind and he will accept you." , after all, we have fought together."

Shao Sao said sadly: "I understand that Brother Wuchen has offended the King of Han, but please help the King of Han to avenge Brother Wuchen for the sake of his efforts for you." Shao Sao understood that the only person who can avenge Wuchen now is Xu Fan. .

Xu Fan sighed and said: "How do you want me to avenge them?

"Qin Jiawuchen and the others made Jingju the King of Chu, even if they cut off the last link between us. Now this is the Han Kingdom, Qin Jiawuchen and the others are the ministers of the Chu Kingdom. What qualifications do I have to avenge them?" .”

"The King of Han is all the fault of the villain Qin Jia. He was worried that the King of Han would annex Sishui County, so he persuaded the eldest brother of the military minister to support Jing Ju as the King of Chu. The villain also opposed it."

Xu Fan sighed and said: "It's meaningless to talk about these things now. You should also look at it a little bit. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky. Since Wu Cheng, Qin Jia and others dare to come out to conquer the world, they must bear the consequences of conquering the world. It makes no sense. They are allowed to kill others, but they are not allowed to kill him. Now that they are defeated and killed, it is because their skills are inferior to others.

And if you really think about it, Xiang Liang is closer to our Han army. You also know that Chen Xiao is a member of the Xiang clan. There are hundreds of people in the Xiang clan working for the Han, but Qin Jiawuchen and others only have a trace of the incense and friendship of the rebels. Compared with In terms of relationships, they are not as good as Xiang Liang.

Shao Sao was desperate after hearing Xu Fan's words.

Xu Fan said: "You can be considered our friend. If you are willing to stay, just stay in Han. I still have the ability to keep you safe."

Then Xu Fan looked at Wu Guang and said, "Just arrange for Shao Sao and his generals."

Wu Guang said: "No!"

December 36, the 12th year of the First Emperor's reign.

Xiang Liang's envoy came to Chen County and brought Xu Fan an unexpected gift.

"General Xiang Liang sent Fan Zeng to pay homage to the King of Han." Fan Zeng saluted Xu Fan.

Another historical celebrity, Xu Fan found that there were some benefits after becoming king. His status was different, and historical celebrities rushed to the shelves to meet him.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "The envoy is too polite. I wonder why the envoy is here?"

"My general wants to form an alliance with the King of Han. This is the reason my general brought."

After speaking, Fan Zeng asked his three men to open three boxes. Inside were three human heads pickled in lime.

"These are the heads of Qin Jia, Wu Chen, and the false King Jingju of Chu. My lord heard that these three people offended the King of Han, and now he is offering their heads as gifts. I hope the King of Han can accept them."

Xu Fan sighed when he saw the heads of Qin Jia, Wu Chen and Jing Ju. After meeting each other and seeing them end up like this, he was a little touched. You can't win the world by fighting for hegemony, so this is what they ended up with. The reason why he wanted to escape to Jiangdong in the first place was because he knew that fighting for world hegemony was the most cruel game of chicken. As long as he entered the ring, he could not only become the final winner, but also die and quit.

Xu Fan sighed for a while and then said: "After all, we have fought together, and we can be considered comrades. Although we hate each other, we still have to help them take care of their funerals. Handing the head of the military minister to Shao Sao can be regarded as fulfilling their brotherhood." .

Jing Ju’s first name should be given to Jing Tao. They are relatives of the same clan. Let him handle it properly. If Qin Jia’s first name is found by his family, we will also find a way to give it to them. If we can’t find it, we can bury them properly. After all, he was once a comrade in the rebel army. , we cannot let them die miserably. "

Zhou Zhang and others said in unison: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Zhou Zhang felt that Xu Fan's arrangement was very good. The debts were wiped out after death, and it was a worthwhile meeting to arrange the posthumous affairs for Qin Jiawuchen.

Fan Zeng looked at Xu Fan in surprise. These three people were the biggest culprits in depriving Xu Fan of his position as King of Chu. Now it seemed that Xu Fan had no hatred towards the three of them, which was a bit beyond Fan Zeng's expectation.

Although the world is spreading rumors about the benevolence of the King of Han, Fan Zeng doesn’t think so. He was able to destroy Qin’s 20-strong army, capture six counties, and become the leader of the anti-Qin forces in the world. How could Xu Fan be a benevolent person? Benevolence cannot be defeated. Come to the world.

Xu Fan continued: "The tyrant First Emperor and Tyrant Qin are the biggest enemies of the anti-Qin righteous people in the world. I am willing to form an alliance with General Xiang, but I don't know what General Xiang's next strategic intention is? How can our two armies cooperate with each other to fight together? Violent Qin?"

Fan Zeng smiled and said: "The Kingdom of Chu belongs to the King of Han. My general understands that and does not dare to compete with the King of Han. The anti-Qin forces in the world are dominated by the King of Han. Naturally, the alliance between my general and the King of Han is led by the King of Han. I just don't know what the King of Han will do next." No matter what your plans are, my general will be able to cooperate with you."

Fan Zeng smiled and complimented Xu Fan, and then looked at the expressions of the rebel leaders. When Yingbu, Jibu and others heard that Fan Zeng said that Chu State belonged to them, they were happy because they thought so too. Xiang Liang was self-aware and had no arrogance in occupying the land of three counties, but immediately ran to do it for them. My little brother is sensible!

Only Chen Xiao frowned. His uncle was not someone who wanted to be humble.

Zhang Liang also looked at Fan Zeng with a solemn face. Xiang Liang had just unified the three counties of Chudong, but he came to Chen County to stay low. His plans were not small.

At this time, Fan Zeng looked at Xu Fan, only to find that Xu Fan was not excited at all. This made Fan Zeng think highly of Xu Fan again. He was the best anti-Qin hero in the world despite his emotions and anger.

But in fact, Xu Fan never thought that his Han Kingdom was limited to the land of Chu. What he wanted was the entire world, and he wanted to establish a centralized state like the First Emperor.

Xu Fan said: "There is nothing that cannot be said or heard. Our army's next step is to attack the Central Plains, especially Sanchuan County, the center of the world, capture Sanchuan County and seize Aocang, and then find a way to occupy the land of the six countries and lead the people of the six countries who were persecuted by the violent Qin to break through Guanzhong." , completely destroying Qin."

Chen Xiao said excitedly: "Yes, we big men want to hang Ying Zheng as well."

His grandfather Xiang Yan died in Wang Jian's hands, and he also wanted to hang the First Emperor to avenge Xiang Yan.

But Yingbu said: "No, no, no, death is too cheap for Ying Zheng. We should make Ying Zheng a prisoner and send him to the border to build the Great Wall and build a tomb for the King of Han."

Yingbu suddenly opened up the thinking of the senior officials of the Han Dynasty. Chen Sheng shouted: "Brother Yingbu has a good idea. After building the Great Wall, let Ying Zheng come to cultivate the land. Give him 1000 acres of official land and let him cultivate it."

Ge Ying shouted: "Let him repair the Chi Road, and send 10 people to watch him. If Ying Zheng is slow in repairing, we will whip him."

Therefore, the senior officials of the Han Dynasty wanted to take revenge on the First Emperor and let him experience the suffering they had suffered.

Fan Zeng despised Yingbu's ideas in his heart. As expected, they were all a bunch of reckless people. In Fan Zeng's view, nobles should have the dignity of nobles. Even if he really captured the First Emperor, he would still give him dignity and give him three feet of white silk. That’s it.

If we really do what they say, the majesty of the royal family and the face of the nobles will be destroyed in one day. Ordinary people will find that even the First Emperor is an ordinary person, and they will lose their respect for the court and the nobles. This will be very important to the King of Han. The new nobles like He Yingbu are doing the greatest damage. They can't even distinguish their own interests. They are really a bunch of fools.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let the envoy laugh." Xu Fan stopped them from continuing their wild thoughts.

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Generals, you are just very ambitious. How dare you laugh at this joke?"

Then Fan Zeng continued: "When the general attacks the Central Plains, my general is willing to cooperate in the attack on Qi and help the King of Han block the 15 Qin army in Qi."

"Qi Di?" Xu Fan said a little surprised, Xiang Liang wanted to give up Chu State.

At this time, he suddenly realized. No wonder Fan Zeng said that the Chu land belonged to the Han Dynasty. Just now he thought it was a compliment, but now it seems that Xiang Liang has put his strategic focus on the Qi land.

Zhang Liang was even more shocked. Zhang Liang's family had served as prime minister for several times in South Korea. The Zhang family was extremely powerful in South Korea. But after leaving Korea, only other nobles of the Zhang family were willing to give face, and power was a joke.

The same goes for Xiang Liang and the others. Because of Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang can live comfortably in Chu. The annexation of the three counties is just a tough battle, but when he goes to Qi, who cares about Chu? Most of the people in Qi didn't know who Xiang Yan was as a local noble. After leaving Qi, Xiang Liang's power would drop by more than half.

But Fan Zeng said solemnly: "The King of Han may not know that Bao Qin has done something outrageous and resentful again in Qi. After the three Tian brothers rebelled against the Qin soldiers, they suppressed Qi's Qin general Feng Jie and massacred the heroes of Qi. , hundreds of families have been implicated, tens of thousands of people have been killed, and the Jishui River has become red.

In order to suppress the Qi people, the Qin Dynasty arbitrarily distributed the land of Qi to the Qin army. The enfeoffed land amounted to hundreds of thousands of hectares. Qi has been a densely populated and wealthy place for hundreds of years. The atrocities of the Qin people left hundreds of The land of the Wanqi people was plundered, and the Qi people were beaten as prisoners and became the slaves of the Qin people. At this time, the Qi country was already in a state of rebellion. A large number of Qi people's heroes fled to Pengcheng and begged our general for rescue. Qi State. "

Zhou Zhang was shocked and said: "Qin people really did such atrocities?"

Ji Bu was also shocked and said: "Occupying people's land and taking people as slaves, there are many other things in the world that Bao Qin dare not do."

Foreign races have not yet invaded this land. The annexation of princes over the past few hundred years was only to obtain population and land. The princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States centuries, when they annexed a country, would treat the people of the country as their own subjects, like the Qin State. This was the first time that he had done something like this. Such an act of lowering the limit shocked everyone's outlook. Bao Qin, Bao Qin has been called for hundreds of years, but no one has expelled the Qin State from the world. They are still recognized as a part of China. But now the First Emperor has really done something that even foreigners dare not do.

Zhang Liang frowned and said: "In the long run, this action will be very harmful to the Qin State. It is so cruel that the fate of the Qin State will not last long, but in the short term, it is not good for us anti-Qin righteous people." matter."

Chen Xiao asked strangely: "Why can't it be a good thing? The Qin people are going to enslave the Qi people. Millions of Qi people will definitely resist the violent Qin. The Qin people's strength will decline even more. This is not a good thing for us." ?”

Fan Zeng looked at Chen Xiao with a strange expression. He had a very good relationship with the Xiang family. He had also been to Xiangcheng and met Chen Xiao when he was a child at that time. He never thought that this child would split the Xiang family. From him, Judging from the seats, Chen Xiao indeed held a high position in the Han army. Such a split would be good or bad for the Xiang family.

Zhang Liang said solemnly: "Judging from the rise of our rebel army, the strength of the Qin Army has dropped a lot compared to 10 years ago. Both its combat effectiveness and will to fight have declined. This is the secret of our rebel army's consecutive battles and victories. And caused Qin The main reason for the decline in military combat effectiveness is that the Qin system of granting land for military merit collapsed after unifying the world.

The prerequisite for military merit to be awarded to fields is to have fields. However, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, in order to appease the heroes of the world, they came up with a policy of "making the head of Guizhou own fields". The Central Plains was a densely populated area that had been developed for thousands of years. There was not much wasteland at all, and private fields were spread all over the counties. This resulted in no fields in the Central Plains to be allocated to Qin soldiers. "

"There is no division of land, but Qin's laws are still harsh, and the people are often reduced to prisoners. In this way, not only the people of the world hate the Qin State, but even the people of the Qin State hate the Qin State. And the First Emperor is an emperor who is eager for quick success, During his reign, wars broke out frequently. If there was no land to give to the soldiers, he would give them the wasteland of Baiyue and the grasslands of Hetao. But this was an exile for the soldiers. There was no benefit to the Qin army's combat effectiveness. "

But now that Tyrant Qin has enclosed the land, land will be distributed to Qin soldiers. Although this move will make the people of the world the enemies of Tyrant Qin, Tyrant Qin is already the enemy of the people of the world, and the tyrant Ying Zheng doesn't care about it at all. , on the contrary, the Qin army's combat effectiveness and will to fight will skyrocket after enclosing the territory.

Then Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "It won't be long before the violent Qin army from ten years ago will come back, and I'm afraid it will bring another catastrophe to the world."
