Competing

Chapter 220 Yue King Yin Xu
The year when the Qin State perished was recorded in the history as December 26 of the first year of the Han Dynasty. This day has an unusual significance for the situation in the world.Because today, Xiang Yu is going to hold a court meeting in the Xian and Yang Palaces to divide the princes!
Since the day Zhang Han surrendered, the princes and generals from all walks of life have been full of enthusiasm and anticipation.Especially a few days ago, it was rumored that Xiang Yu would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. The generals couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts, and they were eagerly waiting for this day to come.

After many discussions between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, they finally decided on the enfeoffment plan and announced it in public at the court meeting today!

When the morning sun rose in the eastern sky, Xiang Yu came first, and Xiang Zhuang followed with Fan Zeng.The princes and generals and a group of counselors have long been waiting in the hall to welcome Xiang Yu step by step to the throne of King Qin!
At this moment, Xiang Yu has fully integrated into the role of the overlord of Daoxi Chu, his every move is sonorous and powerful, full of domineering, looking at the world with contempt, defying everything!At the moment when the couch climbed the steps, Xiang Yu turned around boldly, his eyes swept over everyone!

"Join the General!" Everyone bowed to Xiang Yu!

Xiang Yu said loudly: "Everyone is free!" After a slight pause, he continued: "It was said at Hongmen that night that it took three years to destroy the Qin Dynasty, and there will be clear rewards and punishments! The purpose of calling everyone here today is to reward meritorious deeds. !"

When talking about the words "reward for meritorious deeds", Xiang Yu bit the accent on purpose.The princes of the five kingdoms in the hall all shuddered involuntarily!It has become an indisputable fact that they will be weakened, just hope that they will be bitten and nerfed too much.Some of the other generals were indeed secretly happy, anxiously anticipating what rewards they would receive?
Xiang Yu said loudly: "Cracking the earth to seal the king is the encouragement of every soldier to fight hard, and the yearning of all the meritorious soldiers! Today the Tyranny of the Qin Dynasty has been destroyed, and the enfeoffment of the land is the greatest reward for you!"

Everyone thought it was right, and couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement. Of course, many of them had mournful faces.

Xiang Yu said: "The first thing I want to say is His Royal Highness King Huai of Great Chu. He presided over the summoning of the Chu volunteer army, commanded the battle, and made great achievements. This time the great cause has been accomplished, and King Huai should also enjoy peace and tranquility. Today, King Huai is honored as His Majesty the Emperor of Righteousness." , Send it to Chen and Zhou for respect and care!"

When everyone heard that Xiang Yu arranged for King Huai of Chu first, and respected him, it was reasonable and reasonable.No matter what he said, Xiang Yu was always a courtier of Chu State. Although King Huai of Chu was a puppet in name only, he was the master after all.However, after hearing Xiang Yu's arrangement, everyone was disappointed. Xiang Yu's respect and demotion were too much.Emperor Yi is just a name, and he is not worthy of food. Where are Chen and Zhou? The southern border of Chu State, which is close to Baiyue, was also a barren land at that time.
Yin Xu already knew in his heart that Xiang Yu was being polite in doing so. If Xiong Xin was not satisfied and dawdled, Xiang Yu might not even spare his life.This is an era in which strength speaks. Without strong force, there is no right to speak.

Hearing that Xiang Yu arranged Chu Huai Wang Xiongxin in this way, Yin Xu, Chen Ping, Liu Bang, and Zhang Liang all smiled knowingly.In a hurry to drive away Xiong Xin, the vacated Pengcheng was naturally used by Xiang Yu himself, that is to say, the rumors of Jinyi Yexing's songs had already played their due role.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Zeng came forward and said: "The greatest achievement in the battle of destroying Qin was the battle of Julu, which defeated the main force of the Qin army. This was all done by the general himself, and the merits of the heroic and bloody battle. Therefore, we respect the general as Western Chu Overlord, what do you all think?"

HT?Although everyone had heard that Xiang Yu would dominate, they did not expect that Xiang Yu would directly proclaim himself the overlord, which was somewhat unexpected!Yin Xu was already mentally prepared, so he wasn't surprised at all.The words came from Fan Zeng's mouth. Who would dare to raise objections?It is not so much asking for opinions as it is a demonstration!
In fact, this is nothing at all. When Fan Zeng mentioned the fiefdom of the Overlord of Western Chu, everyone couldn't help being stunned, why didn't they chuckle in surprise!The nine counties of Liang and Chu are not only the coastal area, the fertile and fertile land from Jishui to the south of the general, but also along the north bank of the Huaihe River in the middle, heading west to the Central Plains.

Everyone in the land of Chu State had no objection, but the Central Plains is the hometown of Wei State. After Wei Wangbao heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Half of Wei State’s land had already fallen into Xiang Yu’s hands, so how much more did he have left?

The land of several counties, a quarter of the world's fertile land, everyone listened to Fan Zeng's words in amazement.Yin Xu has always been extraordinarily calm, and he has enough psychological preparation for not being a prophet.Although Xiang Yu's move won the largest fiefdom, it also planted the seeds of threat.

Including myself, there will be nineteen princes and kings. How many people's interests will be violated?A leader appeared, and there were not a few people who turned against Xiang Yu.This is why after Liu Bang left Guanzhong, the princes scrambled to join him, forming an anti-Chu alliance and gathering 56 troops in a short period of time.Sometimes there are gains and losses. If Fan Zeng made such an arrangement, he underestimated the princes, especially Liu Bang!

Xiang Yu coughed lightly and said, "Come down and announce the rewards for other meritorious officials!"

"Please read the Overlord!" Xiang Yu's title has changed in an instant, marking the arrival of a new era.In the past, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, but now there is one more Yin Xu, where will the situation of the world develop?History is moving towards the unknown at this moment!

Xiang Yu said loudly: "The reason why we were able to reach Guanzhong as soon as possible and completely destroy the Qin State has a lot to do with the surrender of Zhang Han and other generals. This is also a great achievement!"

Everyone's heart was shocked. Is Zhang Han also going to be divided?At first when I saw Zhang Han and Dong Yi in the hall, I was surprised. It turned out that Xiang Yu had such an idea.But this is reasonable. If it weren't for Zhang Han's surrender, the 20 Qin army would have to fight stubbornly, and I don't know how much the price will be paid, so it is reasonable to say that it is meritorious.

I only heard Xiang Yu say: "Zhang Han, Dong Yi, and Sima Xin listened to the titles! Thinking of their merits, Zhang Han was granted the title of King Yong, and they all abolished Qiu; .”

Zhang Han smiled wryly. He never thought that he would be named as the former land of Qin State.After entering Guanzhong these days, I felt great pressure.Now I want to make myself the king of Guanzhong... Hmph, I don't know how the old Qin people will poke my back, and Zhang Han himself has a great sense of guilt, deeply ashamed of the Qin State and the Qin people !
Everyone did not expect that the land of Guanzhong would be granted to the three generals of the former Qin Dynasty, which was completely unexpected.That is to say, from this time on, there was the saying of Sanqin Dadi.This incident also revealed a signal, that is, the promise of King Huai was ignored, and Liu Bang's Guanzhong King was completely ruined.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yu said: "Pei Gong Liu Bang fought in Henan, guarded Guanzhong and waited for the arrival of the army. His contribution is indispensable. I hereby confer the title of King of Han, Du Nan and Zheng."

King of Han?Although Zhang Liang had analyzed it long ago, and Liu Bang had some psychological preparations, but now that it was confirmed, he was still a little disappointed.In the hall, he didn't dare to show it, and even pretended to accept it happily, expressing his gratitude to Xiang Yu!

Everyone looked at Liu Bang, some responded with ridicule, some with sympathy, but Yin Xu was full of expectations.Don't think that Liu Bang's fiefdom is in the remote and remote Bashu, so it is bleak, but in fact it has the brightest future.Of course, General Yin's contribution is not in the minority!

Xiang Yu continued: "Continue to read that Han became Han Qu, and his capital is Yangzhai; Wei Bao is the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his capital is Pingyang! Sima Ang is the king of Yin, and his capital is Chaoge!"

Hearing the announcement, Sima Ang was rather happy, but Wei Wangbao and Han Wangcheng's expressions darkened.The most depressing thing is Wei Bao. The majestic king of Wei has become the king of Western Wei. He even lost the capital beam and changed it to the land of Jinnan in the north of the great river.Most of the land was eaten away by Xiang Yu, and the dissatisfaction in my heart became stronger at this time!

South Korea is already weak among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and its territory is not large, so the hope of Han Wangcheng's repayment is not very great.But I didn't expect that the fief Xiang Yu gave himself was even smaller, and Sima Ang was added in the middle. What is this?
The next depressed ones were Zhao Wangxie and Han Guang. After Han Wei and Wei were greatly weakened, Zhao Wangxie felt anxious. What would Zhao Guo face?What he didn't expect was that he was not even as good as Wei's. Although he was the king of Western Wei, he still had the word Wei.But he himself changed from Zhao Wang to Dai Wang, and Xiangguo Zhang Er became Changshan King, and he was assigned a large piece of land in the south of Zhao State.

Han Guang, the king of Yan, became the king of Liaodong, and Zang Tu, the general, became the legitimate king of Yan. These changes were beyond their expectation.Then the Qin State was also divided into three parts, Tian An was the king of Jibei, Tiandu was the capital of the Qi king Linzi, and Tianshi was the king of Jiaodong.

This kind of result is a bit ridiculous, Tian An is fine, Tian Du is really dumbfounding, it is good to be able to crack the earth and seal the king.But this king of Qi... the capital city is still Linzi. You must know that the current king of Qi is Tianshi, and there is a powerful Xiangguo Tian Rong behind him. Will they take the initiative to give up Linzi?Drive them to Jiaodong?Tian Du asked himself without this strength, isn't Xiang Yu embarrassing others?

Xiang Yu's series of actions completely disrupted the original princes and greatly weakened them, making it difficult for him to pose a threat to Xiang Yu.But at the same time a seed of imbalance and hatred was planted.Then Xiang Yu announced that Gong Ao was the king of Linjiang, Wu Rui was the king of Hengshan, and Yingbo was the king of Jiujiang!These few people are all in the hometown of Chu State in the south. Although the area is large, the population is not large, and most of the territory is swampy and mountainous. Compared with the kings in the Yellow River Basin, there is still a gap.

Among them, Yingbu is better, and the land of Jianghuai is considered rich, and the capital is in six counties.However, the fiefs are a bit strange, including the land in Huainan in the north of the river, and the land in the east of the river from the west of Penglize to Nanling!Everyone was a little puzzled, but it was nothing, Yin Xu's fief was the unobtrusive one now!Everyone pricked up their ears, looking forward to it!
Xiang Yu said loudly: "In the past, King Huai granted him a reward. Yin Xu was granted the title of Marquis of Shao and Xing, and there were [-] households in Shiyi, Shanyin. Now he obeys King Huai's edict..."

With a thought in his mind, Yin Xu recalled that Xiang Yuliang had only half of Kuaiji in Chu's nine counties, and Yingbo's fief was only west of Peng Lize, so...

Xiang Yu said loudly: "Conferring Yin Xu the title of King of Yue, the capital of Shanyin, and the territories south of Zhejiang (Qiantang River) and east of Penglize!"

　King Yue, has anyone guessed it?The reason will be explained in the next chapter!
