Competing

Chapter 216

Li Si and Wei Liao are not the only ones who are waiting for Xiang Yu to be entrusted in the land of Guanzhong!
General Yin has been looking forward to this day. After Peigong Liu Bang returned from Hongmen, he has been anxious, waiting for Xiang Yu's "disposition".The generals who have made great achievements are all waiting for the land to be divided into entrustments, and they will become famous after their achievements.

In Kuaiji Zhenze in the south of the great river, Daliang City on the side of the chasm, Wen and County in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Pengcheng in the Chu capital, Linzi in the state of Qi... eyes are fixed on Guanzhong, and Xiang Yu's statement will determine the future of the world. The trend will also affect the fate of countless people...

In Xian and Yangcheng, after admiring the splendor and luxury of the Qin Palace, Xiang Yu finally settled down and sat on the Qin King's throne to discuss with Fan Zeng how to divide the feudal titles!

Xiang Yu said: "Father Ya, the Hongmen dinner is all Yu'er's fault. Yu'er was self-willed and didn't listen to your admonition!" Apologize to Fan Zeng.

Although Fan Zeng was annoyed, seeing that Xiang Yu knew that he was wrong and didn't want to blame him, Lao Huai comforted him and said, "Forget it, the matter is over, and it's a pity to miss the best time to kill Liu Bang. Now there is no chance to question the crime, and I'm afraid to do it again." It will cause those heroes to be divorced, that's all! It's just a chance to survive, and now it's too late to suppress, he Liu Bang wants to make some waves... Huh, there is no such chance!"

Xiang Yu said domineeringly: "That's natural!"

Fan Yafu said: "Yu'er, recently the princes of the six countries and those generals who have made great achievements are all ready to move, waiting for the reward after the war to destroy Qin. The matter of entrusting the princes cannot be delayed any longer!"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "That's right, the important matter here should be settled."

Fan Zeng said: "Then according to the previous agreement, Yu'er, you are enfeoffing the princes as the overlord!"

"Yeah!" Xiang Yu nodded lightly. The emperor couldn't do it, so the overlord would naturally do it.

Fan Zeng asked: "First of all, it's Yu'er's own fiefdom. It's so easy for the villain Liu Bang to take advantage of it. Qin was defeated by Yu'er, so the Guanzhong King naturally belongs to you!"

"King of Guanzhong?" Xiang Yu asked softly, and there seemed to be a little displeasure in his words.

Fan Zeng nodded and said, "That's right, Guanzhong is rich and rich, and it's a land with four fortresses, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so this place is naturally the best."

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "Yafu, isn't Pengcheng better?"

Fan Zeng said: "Yu'er, how can Pengcheng compare to Guanzhong? If you want to achieve supremacy, you must have a good territory. Think about the warring states in the past, how did Qin alone become strong and dominate the six countries? It is because of Guanzhong. With the support of food and wealth from the Land of Abundance, the three Eastern Passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack. For the long-term, this place is the best. Besides, there is still King Huai in Pengcheng, so it may be a little inconvenient!"

"What does Xiong Xin think? It's just a puppet!" Xiang Yu is now supercilious, and has long since ignored anyone.

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, in name you are a minister of Chu after all, and you have to take into account the status of a monarch and minister. At that time, give him an honorary title, so that he can take care of himself for the elderly! But to dominate one side, Pengcheng is indeed Can't compare to Guanzhong."

Under Fan Zeng's earnest persuasion, Xiang Yu finally accepted the proposal of becoming the king of Guanzhong!

Fan Zeng said: "Now we have to see, who deserves to be entrusted with meritorious service?"

Xiang Yu said: "Those queens have been very active recently, and they are also very loud. I really don't want to let them get what they want!"

"Of course!" Xiang Yu didn't expect that Fan Zeng would support his own ideas, and only heard Fan Yafu say: "The princes of the six countries have great power in the first place, and it is impossible not to divide them into enfeoffments, but fiefdoms cannot satisfy them. "

Xiang Yu's heart moved, and he confirmed, "What does Yafu mean?"

Fan Zeng said: "If the Six Kingdoms are still as powerful as before, can you, the overlord, be safe? So we must disperse their strength and let them fight among themselves!"

Xiang Yu remained silent if Ruosi.

Fan Zeng said: "The distribution of enfeoffments this time is clearly about rewarding meritorious deeds. Not only their princes and kings, but also meritorious generals should have a fief! For example, Zhang Er, Sima Ang, Zang Tu, Tian Du, Tian An, Gong Ao, Wu Rui, Ying Bu, Liu Bang, Yin Xu!"

When he said the last two names, Fan Zeng's accent became more pronounced.

Xiang Yu said helplessly: "Should Liu Bang and Yin Xu be separated?"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "If you want to restrict the old princes of the Six Kingdoms, you have to reward them for their merits. Can Liu Bang and Yin Xu be less? Otherwise, they will give others an excuse, so that the generals will be alienated from their virtues. That's not good. Just ignore them , wait until the princes of the six countries are agreed upon!
If Sima Ang was enshrined in Dongjun, Wei Bao and Han Cheng would be very uncomfortable, and if Zhang Er was made king, Zhao Wangxie would jump up immediately.Let Han Guang and Zang Tu fight for the land of Yan, as for the state of Qi, Tian Rong..."

Before Fan Zeng could finish speaking, Xiang Yu immediately retorted: "Yafu, Tian Rong can't be rewarded at all. If it wasn't for his villainous actions, how could Uncle kill Dingtao in battle! If he doesn't kill him, it would be considered cheap for him."

Fan Zeng sighed softly, feeling quite helpless, Tian Rong should have given the most credit among the anti-Qin Yijun in Qidi, and it stands to reason that he should be rewarded.But because of Xiang Liang's death and the incomprehensible hatred between Xiang Yu and Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu would never be willing to reward him.I had no choice but to nod and said: "If this is not the case, divide Qi into three parts. Both Tian An and Tian fought with the army since Julu. They must be rewarded. Another one should be given to Tian Shi. He is Tian Dan's son after all. In the battle of Linji, Tian Dan and Wei Jiu died in battle, the hearts of heroes cannot be chilled!"

Xiang Yu also knew that he had to make some concessions, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.The three of Qi and Di become kings, and Tian Rong will definitely be dissatisfied at that time, so let them fight first.In case of panic, there is an excuse to send troops to destroy them, which happens to avenge Xiang Liang.

Fan Zeng said: "Zhang Han and the others are a little embarrassed..."

"Zhang Han?" Xiang Yu really didn't think about Zhang Han seriously.

Fan Zeng said: "If Zhang Han hadn't surrendered, how could Qin be destroyed so quickly? In terms of credit, he is no less than others."

"What is Yafu's plan?" Xiang Yu knew that Fan Zeng must have a plan.

Fan Zeng said: "Since Wang Li's army left Shangjun, Heshuo has been repeatedly invaded by the Huns. Zhang Han is a brave man who is good at using troops. Why don't you put him in Saibei and use him as a sharp knife against the Huns!"

This is a good proposal. Zhang Han still has some value and is worth taking advantage of.

Fan Zeng said: "Next, let's talk about the state of Chu. King Huai must be respected, but he must not be given too much land. The territory of the state of Chu is huge. If it is integrated and restored to its former strength, it will definitely be a huge threat, so Chu The country must be divided!"

"Gong Ao is the former Ministry of King Chen. Wu Rui Fanyi is free to raise troops. Ying Bu and Yin Xu fought with the army all the way. They have made great achievements. The generals will divide the land on both sides of the river into four!"

"One divided into four? How to divide? And Liu Bang?"

Fan Zeng said: "From west to east, Gong Ao, Wu Rui, and Ying Bu! As for Liu Bang and Yin Xu..."

Xiang Yu's gaze suddenly became stronger, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Liu Bang's hometown is in Pei, not far from Julu Pengcheng. If he is entrusted there, there will be a conflict with King Huai. Not only that, but this dangerous villain must be trusted. If you don't pay attention, you may die. I mean to make him the King of Han and Zhong, and also the hometown of Qin, so it can be regarded as the covenant with King Huai!"

"King of Han and Zhong?" Xiang Yu was a little surprised.

Fan Zeng said: "That's right. The area between Han and Zhong belonged to Chu at first, and was later strategically controlled by the Qin State. It is already the land of Bashu. Although it is only a mountain away from Guanzhong, it is indeed quite different. Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong. The land is fertile and fertile, and the rivers of Jing, Wei and Luo flow through it, which is convenient for irrigation, and the roads are also very convenient.

Han and Zhong are different. The next high mountain belongs to Bashu, and they are all undeveloped wild lands, which cannot be compared with Guanzhong.Most of the people living there are Xirong and Qiang people, it is an uncivilized frontier land, surrounded by high mountains, and the roads are very inconvenient.I think how much effort the King of Qin spent back then, and many strong men died before he built the plank road.The way out of Shu is for this one, Yuer, you sit in Guanzhong yourself, Liu Bang will never even think about getting out of Shuzhong for the rest of his life! "

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, but did not express his opinion.

Fan Yafu continued: "Besides, there is a lot of miasma in Sichuan. Liu Bang's soldiers will be too many and uncomfortable after going there. Without our hands, their strength will be greatly reduced. In that wild land, it is impossible to develop. Liu Bang will live forever. If it is difficult to get out of Shuzhong, it will not pose any threat to you, Yu'er!"

For a dangerous person like Liu Bang, Fan Zeng's strategy is to guard him and put him under his nose, making it difficult for him to do anything.

Xiang Yu nodded lightly, as if he agreed with Fan Zeng's opinion, and then asked, "What about Yin Xu?"

Fan Zeng said coldly: "Yin Xu is no less threatening than Liu Bang, so be careful. There is no place to put him near Guanzhong. And if he and Liu Bang collude or start a fight together, there will be some troubles." , so put him far away, out of sight!

Like Liu Bang, he must be placed in a remote and wild place so that he cannot develop.And there must be enough restraints behind him, so that his backyard is restless and he has no time to look outside.Appropriate suppression and checks and balances must be in place around to cut off the way to expand outwards, making it difficult for him to succeed! "

Since the surrender of Xin'an, the relationship between Xiang Yu and Yin Xu has not disappeared.At this moment, there is only the shadow of swords and swords in the dark, life and death!Thinking of what Fan Zeng said that night when he was watching the stars, Liu Bang and Yin Xu are the biggest threats. If they are restricted like this, they can sit back and relax!But where exactly did Fan Zeng come up with?Xiang Yu was a little uncertain!
Fan Booster lowered his voice and spit out a few words softly.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help nodding secretly, and then he wondered: "Yafu, Liu Bang and Yin Xu have contributed a lot. Liu Bang has already suppressed Yin Xu like this. If he treats Yin Xu like this, will he..." It's strange to say, Sometimes Xiang Yu is not afraid of the sky, but sometimes he is full of worries, mother-in-law...

Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "This is easy to handle. Don't forget that King Huai once rewarded Yin Xu. What you are doing now is following the order of King Huai. Who can say anything? Even if it is suppression, it is justifiable suppression!"
