Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 273
Kuai Che, a celebrity in Zhao, designed a divorce plan for Xiang Yu. Not only did he succeed in disgusting Xiang Kang, but he also directly helped Xiang Yu recover from his injury. Dejected and in a good mood, Xiang Yu's recovery speed was also greatly accelerated. Coupled with the careful treatment of the famous doctor An Qisheng, who even respected Qin Shihuang three points, the right eye injury that had dragged Xiang Yu down for a long time was finally completely healed. It affected Xiang Yu's daily life and commanded troops to fight.

It was indeed suffocating. On the day when An Qisheng finally announced that Xiang Yu could fight on horseback again, the first thing Xiang Yu did was to ride out of his unfinished palace on a black horse, knock over dozens of pedestrians along the way, and rush out of the palace. At the south gate of Pengcheng, they galloped back and forth by the Sishui River, shouting and galloping, as if they were going crazy with joy, Cao Jiu, Xiang Bo, old man Fan and Xiang Yu's confidantes, none of Xiang Yu's confidants gave a word of persuasion, and all of them burst into tears, choked up. He said, "Finally I've survived, this period of time has finally survived."

It's not that extreme joy begets sorrow, but it's inevitable. After finally waiting for Xiang Yu to go back to the city, he just sat down in his Western Chu Palace. The excited Xiang Yu just ordered a banquet to thank An Qisheng, Sima Ang's messenger, for his hard work. So he sent the damn letter to Pengcheng, and because the letter was sealed, Cao Jiu, who came forward to receive the letter, didn't dare to open the letter that Xiang Yu personally received, and directly presented it to Xiang Yu himself.

"An urgent letter from the King of Henan?" When he received the letter, Xiang Yu, who was in a state of excitement, felt his heart move again, and said happily, "Could it be that Mr. Kuai Che's trick worked? Li Shang's son changed his banner and rebelled against the Han, and the King of Henan reported his good news to this king?"

"It's likely to be the case, and it should take time to see the effect." Master Xiang Bo rushed to answer, and An Qisheng, who happened to be present, exchanged glances with Kuai Che. Together, it is definitely not good news—if it is really a rift. It worked, and it must have been Yingbu Pegasus who helped Xiang Yu send an envoy to contact Li Shang to announce the good news. Sima Ang, who was in the Central Plains, took the credit for that round?

The situation was naturally predicted by An Qisheng and Kuai Che. Xiang Yu's face turned livid before he finished reading Sima Ang's letter, and then quickly darkened. He asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Xiang Yu casually tossed the bamboo slips that he had finished reading to Cao Jiu, and continued to read the rest. Cao Jiu hurriedly took them over and read them closely with Old Man Fan, Xiang Bo and Master Xiang also leaned over to read them together, and then what? The first one who screamed, "What? Xiang Kang, that little evil beast, first knew about our instigation against Li Shang? Emperor Yi also secretly hid an imperial edict in a brocade belt, and sent it to Xianyang to hand over to Xiang Kang. Animal, tell that little evil animal to attack us?"

Before Master Xiang finished shouting, An Qisheng and Kuai Che smiled wryly together, then quickly exchanged glances, and said in unison, "The counterattack is so fast! The King of Han is really ruthless!"

At this time, Xiang Yu had already quickly read all the letters written by Li Zuoche from Sima Ang, and after throwing the rest of the bamboo slips to Cao Jiu and old man Fan, Xiang Yu jumped up and walked back and forth quickly in the hall with his hands behind his back and his face darkened. Walking around, Cao Jiu and old man Fan knew that this was a signal that Xiang Yu was extremely angry, so they hurriedly read Li Zuoche's letter to the point, then old man Fan didn't discuss with Cao Jiu, and immediately said: "My lord, calm down! The king of Henan is right. , Xiang Kang Nichen fabricated such shameless rumors for the sole purpose of alienating the relationship between you and Emperor Yi, you must not be fooled!"

"No evidence, no evidence! How dare you conclude that there is no such clothes belt edict?" Xiang Yu asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Emperor Chu Yi is not an idiot. Now he is in Pengcheng, and he can't help himself. How dare he take such a big risk to issue such an edict?" Old man Fan hurriedly asked, and then said: "Besides, Emperor Yi's palace It is all in the hands of General Xiang Ta, so how can he send someone thousands of miles to Xianyang to deliver an edict to Xiang Kang's rebellious ministers?"

Old Man Fan's persuasion made Xiang Yu calm down a little, and Cao Jiu also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Fan Gong said is absolutely true. This matter is all the one-sided words of Xiang Kang's rebellious minister. Your Majesty must not be trusted. You must first find out the truth. Then it’s not too late to make a decision.”

Cao Jiu and old man Fan still had a lot of influence on Xiang Yu. Seeing that both of them objected and couldn't believe rumors, Xiang Yu, who was in a rage, regained some sense, and calmed down to analyze whether it was his wicked cousin again. Sowing discord.During this period, Kuai Che was eager to show off, and asked to read the letter together, but Master Xiang Boxiang rolled his eyes and shouted: "What is your identity? Are you qualified to read the secret letter written by the King of Henan to the King?"

Kuai Che's face was full of embarrassment. Fortunately, Xiang Yu's impression of Kuai Che had improved a lot, so he took the initiative to say, "Let Mr. Kuai Che take a look."

Kuai Che thanked him, and then he took the letter from Master Xiang Boxiang who was full of reluctance, took a quick look at it in his hand, and then quickly said: "My lord, the king of Henan has a very high opinion. The so-called clothes belt edict Ninety percent of the time, Xiang Kang's rebellious minister fabricated the relationship between you and Emperor Yi. If you fall into the trap, your majesty, then your advantage of respecting the emperor and making the princes righteous will be lost. And if you take ten thousand steps back, even if The clothes belt edict is real, your majesty must not be impulsive right now, and it will not be too late to deal with it after the soldiers enter the pass, break through Xianyang, and get the real evidence of the clothes belt edict!"

Xiang Yu made quick calculations with a gloomy face, and after a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Reply to Sima Ang and tell him to bring the envoy of Xiang Kang's traitor to him immediately, and I will interrogate him personally! Then give Xiang it an order to tell him Take down all the servants around Emperor Yi, and send someone to interrogate him carefully. You must ask the truth to the king. Did Emperor Yi send someone to Xianyang to contact Xiang Kang's rebels? In addition, send a thousand troops to surround Emperor Yi The palace is closely guarded, anyone who enters or leaves without authorization, beheaded!"

"Your Majesty, this is for your reputation..."

"Shut up!" Xiang Yu interrupted Kuai Che's dissuasion with a dark face, and said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't interrupt!"

Kuai Che had no choice but to shut up, exchanged glances with An Qisheng next to him, and sighed together, "Sure enough, you are brave and foolish, and Xiang Kang's poisonous scheme has a chance to succeed again this time."

Because of this episode, Xiang Yu's banquet to reward An Qisheng ended in discord, and before the banquet was withdrawn, Xiang Yu ordered his most trusted third uncle Xiang Bo to personally preside over the matter of Xiong Xin's servant maid, and asked Xiang Bo You must interrogate carefully, and you must find out whether Xiong Xin has issued an imperial edict. Uncle Xiang worked hard on this matter, and he went to Emperor Yi's palace to handle the matter immediately, leaving old man Fan and In the palace of Western Chu, Cao Jiu earnestly advised Xiang Yu to calm down and never fall into Xiang Kang's tricks again.

It's a pity that Master Xiang's hard work has not been rewarded accordingly. No matter how severely tortured, coerced and lured by the officials of the Chu army under his command, the maids around Xiong Xin refused to confess truthfully. When did someone be sent to Guanzhong to promulgate the clothes and belts to Xiang Kang, and it was rare for Master Xiang to be reprimanded by his nephew Xiang Yu, accusing him of ineffectiveness, which made him very humiliated.

On the contrary, Xiang Yu's decision to capture all Xiong Xin's servants and seal up Emperor Yi's palace was questioned by many old officials of the Chu court, including Chen Ying and Zhao Pingping, all of whom carefully asked Xiang Yu the reason for doing so. After it was made public, many old ministers of the Chu court swore that it was absolutely impossible for Xiong Xin to do such a thing, and asked Xiang Yu to trust Xiong Xin and immediately lift the blockade of Xiong Xin's palace. Of course Xiang Yu refused. Not a small contradiction also deepened rapidly.

In the end, Xiang Yu listened to old man Fan and Cao Jiu's persuasion, sat down and confided his heart to Xiong Xin calmly, but of course Xiong Xin shouted his grievance loudly, and swore against the ancestors of Chu that he never did such a thing He also took the initiative to express his willingness to issue an edict to condemn Xiang Kang's shameless act of forging the edict, but how could Xiang Yu believe his explanation?Apart from barely suppressing his anger and not rushing to pursue Xiong Xin's responsibilities, he still refused to lift the blockade of Xiong Xin Palace, and imprisoned Xiong Xin in the deep palace, not allowed to go out.

It is also fortunate that Xiong Xin's power has been completely deprived, and the puppet position is no longer so attractive. Jing Ju, a member of the Chu Kingdom clan who had been fighting with Xiong Xin to the death, did not jump out and make trouble, fanning the flames and using Xiang Yu's hand to kill Xiong Xin.However, just as Li Zuoche expected, Xiang Kang really had another move. Not long after, Yingbo also sent someone to contact Xiang Yu. In addition to reporting that the estrangement had been resolved by Xiang Kang, he also said that Xiang Kang also sent someone. Contact him, claiming that you have the belt edict promulgated by Xiong Xin in your hand, and persuade Yingbu to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and join hands with him to defeat Xiang Yu, a rebellious and rebellious official!

Of course, Yingbo's report made Xiang Yu suspicious again. Fortunately, old man Fan and Kuai Che, who barely gained Xiang Yu's trust, immediately pointed out that what Xiang Kang did was just setting up a false appearance, trying to make others think that he really had something in his hands. What is the so-called clothing belt edict, bluffing and deceiving with evil intentions, and clearly pointed out that Xiang Kang will definitely contact other princes, claiming that he has the so-called clothing belt edict.

This was indeed expected by old man Fan and Kuai Che. Only one day later, Sima Xin, king of Taiyuan, sent an envoy to Pengcheng. The envoys of the Han army who were sent to communicate with him also escorted them to Xiang Yu to show their loyalty. They also confessed that Xiang Kang's envoys also claimed that Xiang Kang had clothes and belts in his hand.Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered someone to bring the envoy of the Han army to him to torture him.

This time Xiang Yu finally asked something of value, unable to withstand the torture of Xiang Yu's guards, the envoy of the Han army was forced to tell the truth, admitting that Xiang Kang did have a Xiongxin edict written in blood in his hand, and let him I memorized the content of the edict and recited it in front of Sima Xin to prove that I really have such an edict in my hand. Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard about it, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly memorize! What is the content of that edict?!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me. When the villain recites your words, there will be disrespectful words against you. The blood edict of Emperor Yi said: The world is unfortunate, although the unreasonable tyranny of the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, but the national thief Xiang Yu is rebellious and rebellious. He resisted my orders and rewards and punishments. Xiang Kang, the right general, first entered the Guanzhong and was not sealed off. Without my consent, he distributed the feudal title without authorization, formed a party to exercise power, deceived the emperor and harmed the people, was brutal and unkind, and accumulated crimes! Xiang Kang was the first to raise the banner of anti-Qin Yi in the past, hanging the people's attack Sin, swept Huaisi, broke through Guanzhong, and made great contributions to the world. I now seal Xiang Kang as King of Han, and order Han King Xiang Kang to unite the martyrs of loyalty and righteousness in the world, wipe out the traitors, and restore peace to the world! Letters to Fuqing, and then Be cautious, don't let me down."

The memory of the Han army envoy was not bad, and he recited Xiong Xin's blood edict almost word for word. As a result, after listening to Xiong Xin's edict ordering Xiang Kang to crusade against him, instead of being furious, Xiang Yu laughed outright. He said with a ferocious smile to old man Fan, Cao Jiu, Kuai Che and others present: "Have you heard clearly? Back then, the king of Chu supported by our Xiang family, and the Emperor Yi who was supported by this king himself, repayed us in this way. Family, to repay the king like this is to repay the king like this."

Cao Jiu's talent is really mediocre, after listening to Xiang Yu's words almost squeezed out between his teeth, he didn't even dare to breathe out, he could only turn his eyes to Old Man Fan for help, but it's a pity that Old Man Fan was helpless, even though he knew it well The so-called blood edict was definitely forged by Xiang Kang, but there is no evidence to prove it.Only Kuai Che plucked up his courage, raised his head and said, "My lord, so what if it's true? Emperor Yi is now in Pengcheng. If he says a word, the real edict can also become a false edict. Why do you care, my lord?"

"Why can't this king care?" Xiang Yu finally roared angrily, roaring: "The Yi Emperor, whom this king personally supported, wants to collude with rebels to harm me, so why should this king swallow his anger?!"

Kuai Che also had nothing to do with Xiang Yu's unruly temper, he could only shut his mouth and quickly figure out how to stop Xiang Yu from acting impulsively, but Xiang Bo on the other side looked relaxed, and suddenly thought of another important question, and hurriedly said: "Xian Nephew, something is wrong. Why did Sima Xin send someone to send the emissary of Xiang Kang, that little beast, but Zhang Han still hasn't seen any movement? Logically speaking, Xiang Kang, that little beast, incited the princes of the world to turn against you. Is it impossible to forget Zhang Han?"

It was only after Xiang Bo reminded him that Xiang Yu suddenly remembered an important question - how could Xiang Kang form cliques to fight against him everywhere, how could he forget Zhang Han, one of his father-in-law?Under vigilance, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked the envoy of the Han army who was still in the hall: "Xiang Kang's traitor, did you send someone to contact Zhang Han and Dong Yi?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but the villain doesn't know." The envoy of the Han army who had been beaten all over his body hurriedly shook his head and said, "The villain is just taking orders with the envoys sent to Nanyang. I don't know if the King of Han has sent someone to contact Zhang Han. .”

"Are you taking orders with the envoys sent to Nanyang?" Xiang Yu's shock was no small matter, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiang Kang, the traitor, sent someone to contact Liu Ji?"

The envoy of the Han army nodded quickly, and frankly admitted that he and the envoy sent by Xiang Kang to contact Liu Laosan took the order. Xiang Yu was even more frightened and angry when he heard the words, and said through gritted teeth: "Good job, Liu Jizhanghan, Xiang Kang's traitor! How dare you refuse to report to this king for dealing with you in secret!"

When Xiang Yu was gnashing his teeth, Kuai Che was completely rolling his eyes, and he had to say in admiration: "Well, Xiang Kang, you are really one after another. You deliberately didn't send anyone to contact Zhang Han, and then Deliberately let Sijian know that you have sent someone to contact Liu Ji, and you will never be reconciled if you don’t tear up the princes of the world! Divisive schemes are so vicious that you have reached the pinnacle.”

Admiration is admiration, just like in history, Kuai Che's principle is to show no mercy to the enemy whoever works for him. After a little calculation, for the benefit of Xiang Yu, Kuai Che quickly said: "Your Majesty, as a subject In my humble opinion, since Emperor Yi has such a big suspicion, for the sake of safety, it is better to move him to Minzhong (Fujian) as the capital, and keep him away from the traitors of Xiangkang and the princes outside the pass. Allowed."

The worried old man Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that Kuai Che's suggestion was not only to prevent Xiang Yu from making a big mistake on impulse, but also to prevent Xiang Kang from continuing to sow discord and split the princes outside the pass. He immediately supported Kuai Che and said: "Your Majesty, what Dr. Kuai said is very true. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the fact that the Yidai Zhao is true. To be cautious, it is best for Your Majesty to move Emperor Yi to a remote place immediately, keeping him away from the Central Plains and Xiang Kang's rebels, It will not cause any harm to you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, old man Fan secretly winked at Cao Jiu, Cao Jiu understood, although he didn't understand the good intentions of old man Fan and Kuai Che, he still stood up and tried his best to help and persuade.After Xiang Yu thought about it again and again, he found that he didn't have the ironclad evidence in his hand, so killing Xiong Xin like this would be criticized, it would be better to send Xiong Xin to the smoky frontier and let him fend for himself, so he nodded, Said, "Okay, let's do it."

Hearing this, Kuai Che breathed a long sigh of relief, and said somewhat proudly in his heart: "Xiang Kang, King of Han, don't think that you are the only smart person in the world. No matter how well you arrange it, as long as the King of Western Chu does not According to your plan, if you don’t abolish or kill Emperor Yi, the advantage of respecting the emperor and ordering the princes is still in the hands of the King of Western Chu, and when you use troops against the King of Western Chu, you still have no name.”

Kuai Che may have been too happy because the matter was not over yet. In the evening, Master Xiang Boxiang dragged his exhausted body back to his mansion as luxurious as a duke, but he had not had time to catch his breath. In one breath, his precious son Xiang You came up to meet him, and said quickly with a nervous expression: "Ah Weng, Uncle Zhang sent someone here, and brought you a letter written by him."

"Uncle Zhang? That Uncle Zhang?" Uncle Xiang couldn't turn the corner for a while.

"Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang, that Situ from South Korea." Xiang You said in surprise, "Isn't he your best friend, Ah Weng? You lived in his house for so long, how did you forget him?"

Uncle Xiang slapped his forehead, and then he remembered that he did have a close friend named Zhang Mingliang, and then he became furious and roared: "That idiot! How dare you send someone to contact the old man! He thought the old man didn't know, he In Yingchuan, I followed Xiang Kang, that little villain, worked hand in hand with that little villain, and helped him a lot! Immediately take down the person sent by the man and send him to the prison for serious punishment !"

"Ah Weng, calm down, calm down." Xiang You hurriedly dissuaded him, and said quickly: "The people sent by Uncle Zhang made it clear that he worked for that traitor Xiang Kang, but he had no choice but to, and never forgot about you and his Brotherly love. Also, Uncle Zhang’s letters are indeed extremely important, you will understand, Ah Weng.”

After saying that, Xiang You hurriedly took out a letter written on white silk, handed it to Uncle Xiang and said, "Ah Weng, I have already read it, my son, it is related to you, and it is also related to our family, it is really extremely important. "

Strictly speaking, Master Xiang Boxiang is not a particularly timid person—at least he has the courage to dare to kill people himself, but he only briefly read Zhang Liang's autographed letter, and before he finished the letter, Master Xiang Boxiang His face was ashen, his legs trembled slightly, and he couldn't help roaring wildly in his heart: "Xiongxin boy! This old man fucked your mother's eighteen generations of ancestors!"
