Chapter 269: Xiang Yu counterattacked
He originally paid great attention to maintaining his credit, and under Zhang Liang's reminder, he found the benefits of winning over Zhang Han, and Xiang Kang, who was decisive in killing, was very cruel and ruined Zhang Han's beautiful daughter Zhang Xun that night, and turned Zhang Han into one of his father-in-law, and then only a day later, he sent someone to send all Zhang Han's family members except Zhang Xun to Jindi, and returned them to Zhang Han through the northeast of the river.
Knowing that Xiang Kang generously returned his family, and had teamed up with Sima Xin and Dong Peng to take down Zhang Han of Jinyang City, Taiyuan County, of course, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears at all, even if he saw his wife and third brother Zhang Feng coming to him after a long absence, Zhang Han couldn't help but pinch his thighs a few times, in order to identify whether he was in a dream, and then hugged his relatives and cried, and he was so excited that he couldn't cry.
After learning the specific story, and hearing that his daughter had been bullied and humiliated by Xiang Kang, Zhang Han immediately complained bitterly, and immediately understood Xiang Kang's vicious intentions, and had to quickly swear to Sima Xin and Dong Peng, who took the initiative to congratulate him......
"King Jin, King Zhai, please rest assured, this king can swear to the sky! If this king has any different intentions, secretly colludes with Xiang Kang's dog thief, betrays you to curry favor with him, please ask the ghosts and gods to immediately send down the thunder to chop the king to death, and the heavenly fire will burn the king to death! After death, there is no place to live, and the violent corpses are in the wilderness, which makes people crush their bones and ashes, and turn into flying smoke! ”
"The acting king must not say that." Sima Xin smiled easily and said, "Who are you acting king, this king and King Zhai are not clear?" There is no need to make such a poisonous oath, this king absolutely believes in the sincerity of your alliance with us. ”
"Yes, you don't have to swear anything." Dong Peng also said with a big grin: "Xiang Kang'er's despicable personality has long been known to the world, how can this king and the king of Jin fall for his evil?" Please rest assured that in the future, we will join forces with you to enter Xianyang and rescue Zhang Xun's niece! ”
"Thank you, two kings." Zhang Han hurriedly thanked him sincerely, but snorted coldly in his heart and said: "It's nice to say, who are you two horsemen, isn't this king clear?" If you don't guard against the secret collusion between this king and Xiang Kang Xiao'er at any time in the future, this king's chapter will be written backwards! ”
"The acting king doesn't have to be polite." Sima Xin and Dong Fei were humble in unison, and they also hummed together in their hearts: "Piff, it sounds good, when the situation is not right or necessary, if you, the puffer, don't recognize Xiang Kang Xiao'er's son-in-law as soon as possible, the king's name will be read in reverse!" ”
In this way, no matter how beautiful and beautiful his words were, Xiang Kang still succeeded in forcibly driving a wedge into the Guanzhong Pawn Alliance, which immediately made Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Fei, who were once close, wary of each other, and buried the hidden danger that the Guanzhong Pawn Coalition Army was completely torn apart. And what's worse is that I heard that Xiang Kang actually took the initiative to send someone back Zhang Han's family, and almost all of them were soldiers of the Qin army, and the soldiers of the Guanzhong Coalition Army, who were almost all soldiers of the Qin army, also missed their relatives in their hometowns more and more, and the morale of the army was immediately affected.
In addition, for such an important event, of course Zhang Han himself did not dare to hide it from the current leader of the princes' alliance, Xiang Yu, and knew that the more he concealed it, the more suspicious and suspicious Xiang Yu would be of himself, so there was no need for Sima Xin and Dong Fei to ask for it, Zhang Han wrote a letter on the same day, sent someone to Pengcheng to hand it over to Xiang Yu, and took the initiative to confess that Xiang Kang had bought him by wooing.
It's time to take a look at the situation on Xiang Yu's side, which is basically the same as Xiang Kang's expectation, after returning to Pengcheng to recuperate with an injury, Xiang Yu really gave birth to Xiang Kang's wife Yu Miaoge to take the idea of asking for the guilt, it just so happened that Yu Miaoge also happened to give birth to Xiang Kang's eldest son, and Xiang Bo, who hated Xiang Kang so much, even instigated Xiang Yu to put Xiang Kang's son to death, so that everyone in the world could see the fate of daring to get along with him, but fortunately, Xiang Liang's wife immediately stepped forward and took Yu Miaoge's sisters and Xiang Kang's son to his residence for settlement, also told Xiang Yu directly in person......
"If you want to kill Kang'er's wife and children, kill your uncle and mother first!"
Xiang Liang's kindness is the heaviest, that is, to borrow Xiang Yu's hundred guts, of course Xiang Yu did not dare to touch a hair of his second uncle, except for Xiang You, the children of the Xiang family also persuaded one after another, saying that even if Xiang Kang has 10,000 wrong, 10,000 should be damned, it should not implicate Xiang Kang's wife and children in the flesh and blood of the Xiang family. In addition, Xiang Yu's absolute henchmen Cao Ji and Old Man Fan also tried their best to persuade each other, saying that only by keeping Xiang Kang's wife and son in their hands could they give full play to their maximum value, Xiang Yu did not ignore Xiang Bo's fanning of the flames, leaving a way for Yu Miaoge's mother and son to live.
It may be the blessing of temporarily letting go of Xiang Kang's wife and children, in the giant deer after the war defected to Xiang Yu Zhao Di famous scholar Kuaiche, although he did not get the trust and reuse of the well-known unknown Xiang Yu, he still fulfilled his duty, and invited his friend Langya County famous hermit and famous doctor An Qisheng to treat Xiang Yu's injuries, Xiang Yu has long heard of An Qisheng's famous name, and patiently accepted An Qisheng's treatment, and then after An Qisheng's careful treatment, Xiang Yu's eye injury quickly improved, and it was infinitely close to healing.
However, Xiang Kang did not let go of his clan brother Xiang Yu, although An Qisheng repeatedly warned Xiang Yu not to be angry, but when he received the news that the two princes of Wei Bao and Chai Wu were killed by Xiang Kang instantly, Xiang Yu was still furious twice, and it also affected his injury recovery twice, and then when he received the news that Xiang Kang deliberately bought Zhang Han, Xiang Yu was furious for the third time, and let his injuries repeat.
"Despicable villain! Shameless rats! It's a shame for our Xiang family! In order to sow discord, he can be despicable to this extent, doesn't that scum know how to write the word shame?! ”
"The king is angry, angry, your injury, your injury, Mr. Anqiu (An Qisheng) has repeatedly told you that you must not be angry again!"
"How do you call this king to calm his anger?!" Xiang Yu roared angrily to interrupt the persuasion of Cao Ji and Old Man Fan, and regardless of the fact that his right eye began to hurt again, he just yelled with his red left eye, "In order to sow discord, the scum of our Xiang family took Zhang Handipfu's daughter as a concubine and returned Zhang Handipfu's family, if it goes on like this, as long as the situation is slightly wrong, Zhang Handipfu will definitely fall to that scum immediately!" How can you call this king to endure this breath?! ”
Cao Ji and Old Man Fan had no choice but to shut up, and they also knew very well that Xiang Yu was indeed difficult to endure this tone, but Xiang Bo next to him added fuel to the fire, and said: "Virtuous nephew, we must not let that little evil animal continue to be arrogant, we must quickly find a way to punish him, otherwise, the Three Kings Alliance in Guanzhong may soon be torn apart, and let that little evil animal sit on the fisherman's profits." ”
Listening to Uncle Xiang's instigation, Xiang Yu immediately yelled at Cao Ji and Old Man Fan: "You say, what should I do about this? How can I clean up that scum and let him stop being so arrogant and proud! ”
Cao Zhi and Old Man Fan exchanged a look with a sad face, and then Cao Zhi said: "King, please let the courtiers and Fan Zuoshi discuss it carefully, and then give you an answer, take this opportunity, we had better invite Mr. Anqiu and let him show you the injury, so as not to get worse." ”
also knew that Cao Zhi and Old Man Fan were kind-hearted, Xiang Yu held back his anger, and immediately sent someone to invite An Qisheng to check his injuries, while Cao Ji and Old Man Fan hurriedly discussed in a low voice, trying to find a way to meet Xiang Yu's request as soon as possible and appease Xiang Yu's temper.
After a while, An Qisheng, who was fluttering in the robe, was invited to Xiang Yu's face, untied the silk cloth and only glanced at it, An Qisheng sighed, knowing that someone must have provoked Xiang Yu again, but An Qisheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xiang Yu, but first prescribed a prescription for the guards to take the medicine according to the prescription, and then asked Xiang Yu to lie down temporarily, dredge the meridians for Xiang Yu with massage techniques, and help Xiang Yu dissipate the anger in his heart as soon as possible.
At this time, Cao Zhi and Old Man Fan also discussed some results, and Cao Zhi opened his mouth and said: "King, in the current situation, if we want to punish and weaken Xiang Kang's rebellion, lay the foundation for our future military advances, and reduce resistance, your subordinates think that we can adopt three strategies at present. ”
"Those three strategies?" Xiang Yu immediately asked.
"First, win over Zhao State, let Zhao State and Xiang Kang's rebel minister turn against each other, and use Zhao State to curb the momentum of Xiang Kang's rebellion's expansion east of the Yellow River." Cao replied.
"Is that easy?" Xiang Yu said angrily: "Because of the matter of Chen Yu, Sima Wei and Shen Yang, Zhao Xie and Zhang Er's puppets have already concluded an alliance with Xiang Kang's scum and joined forces against this king and other princes, how can they turn against each other again?" ”
"The king can rest assured, although it is more difficult to make Zhao Guo and Xiang Kang turn against him, it is not impossible." Old man Fan explained: "The reason why Zhao Guo and Xiang Kang concluded an alliance is because they are dissatisfied with our division of Zhao State's army and territory, and now that the wood has been completed, Zhao State is greatly damaged, and it is absolutely impossible to change the current fait accompli, as long as we change our strategy and take the initiative to show favor to Zhao State, Zhao Xie and Zhang Er may still be co-opted by us for the benefit of Zhao State, and turn against Xiang Kang instead." ”
"And it's an opportunity." Cao Ji also added: "Zhang Han and they marched to seize Taiyuan County, which was controlled by Zhao State, and Xiang Kang's rebellious ministers were close at hand, not only did they not lend a helping hand in time, but on the contrary, they also curry favor with Zhang Han, who is about to enter the army on behalf of the county, and the whole Zhao State will definitely be very dissatisfied." ”
"In addition, there is the question of the ownership of Shangdang County, which is also an opportunity for us to win over Zhao State, Shangdang County was originally recovered by the Zhao State army from the hands of the tyrannical Qin army, and then was given to Wei Bao by the king as the land of Wei State, and now Wei Bao is forced to surrender to Xiang Kang Rebel Minister, it stands to reason that Shangdang should belong to Xiang Kang Rebel Minister, and Zhao State will definitely not spit out this piece of fat that has been eaten in his mouth, as long as we make some articles on this, we will not worry about not being able to make Zhao State and Xiang Kang rebel turn against each other."
Hearing that Cao Zhi and Old Man Fan were reasonable, Xiang Yu finally nodded and asked, "Then how should I do it?" ”
"Send Zhao Guo to officially return Shangdang County to Zhao State, and also promise not to investigate the past mistakes of Zhang Er's father and son, take the opportunity to explain the benefits and disadvantages to Zhao Guojun and his ministers, and persuade Zhao State to sever the alliance with Xiang Kang." Cao Ji immediately replied: "In addition, I promised Zhao Guo that as long as they help us crusade against Xiang Kang's rebels, we will also allocate Hedong County to Zhao State as compensation for them." Our Western Chu is strong and weak, and the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State weigh the pros and cons, and see that it is profitable, and they will definitely make a wise choice. ”
After thinking about it, he found that with his own strong soldiers and invincible military might, as long as he took the initiative to ask for reconciliation with Zhao Guo, Zhao Xie and Zhang Er would definitely not be embarrassed, Xiang Yu nodded and said: "That's it, immediately send someone to contact Zhao Guo, and ask Zhao Xie to expel Xiang Kang's envoy and form an alliance with us instead." ”
"The king, your subordinates think that they should send Wu Shi to persuade the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, so that they are most sure of success." Old man Fan hurriedly said: "Wu She's eloquence is outstanding, and he is very eloquent, let him go to Zhao Guo to envoy Zhao Guo, so that he can be more sure to persuade Zhao Guo to abandon Han and join Chu." ”
"Then let's call Wu Shi." Xiang Yu replied impatiently, and then said, "What are the other two strategies?" ”
"The second strategy is to win over the tyrannical Qin ministers in Guanzhong, support them in launching a rebellion, and give Xiang Kang's rebel ministers a knife from behind." Cao Zhi said: "Previously, when Xiang Kang's Hangu Pass was in an emergency, the tyrannical Qin ministers who refused to submit to Xiang Kang's rebels had already launched a rebellion, although they were quickly suppressed by Xiang Kang's rebels' remaining army, but it was enough to show that the tyrannical Qin ministers were still missing their homeland and had the idea of restoration, we just need to push the boat down the river and incite the tyrannical Qin ministers to launch a rebellion again, no matter whether their rebellion can succeed or not, they can shake and hit Xiang Kang's control over the tyrannical Qin." ”
It's really too much to suffer similar losses, how can I want to return a tooth for a tooth, Xiang Yu didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Then how to do it?" ”
"Send someone to infiltrate Guanzhong and secretly contact the tyrannical old prince of Qin, who was forced to surrender to Xiang Kang's rebels." Cao replied: "In exchange for promising him to restore the state of Qin, he was encouraged to lead the tyrannical Qin ministers to launch a rebellion and receive our army into Guanzhong." ”
"Okay, that's it." Xiang Yu is also very good at trading, and said: "Although this is not very certain, once it succeeds, it will definitely have an extraordinary effect, and even if we fail, the loss is not painful, and we will arrange reliable people to do it as soon as possible." ”
Cao Zhi hurriedly agreed, and Xiang Yu also asked about the third strategy of him and Old Man Fan, Cao Zhi hurriedly replied: "The third strategy is to buy and win over the generals under Xiang Kang's rebellion, our detailed work has found out the accurate information, the self-proclaimed marquis of Nanyang King Liu Ji's fellow townsman Wang Ling, after Nanyang accepted the co-optation of Xiang Kang's rebellion, he has never been able to reuse Xiang Kang's rebellion, and he must be quite dissatisfied in his heart." ”
"In addition, Wang Ling's family members are also all in Pei County, we might as well send someone to take his family members to Pengcheng to treat each other politely, and then let his family members come forward to secretly plot against Wang Ling, and Xu Yi high-ranking officials will let Wang Ling be used by us, once this matter is successful, we will be equivalent to Xiang Kang rebel Chen's side to install an internal line, not only can we grasp Xiang Kang rebel minister's military affairs at any time, but also let Wang Ling turn against each other when necessary, insert Xiang Kang rebel from behind, and even directly start to help us capture and kill Xiang Kang rebel."
"Great idea!" Xiang Yu, who had done this in history, was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and do it, the sooner the better, and bring all the family members of Wang Ling to Pengcheng for me as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Yu hurriedly sang a promise and sent someone to act according to the plan in front of Xiang Yu, but at this time, Xiang Yu, who already had a way to fight back, was of course in a good mood, and the wound in his right eye was no longer so painful. But just when Xiang Yu turned his anger into joy, An Qisheng, a famous Langya scholar who was still serving the decoction on the side, suddenly spoke, and said with a rather sarcastic smile: "King, if you expect these three strategies to make Xiang Kang rebel at a loss and catch fire before and after, it is better to expect the heavenly thunder to kill Xiang Kang rebel minister." ”
Before An Qisheng's words were finished, everyone present was already stunned, and then Xiang Yu asked in great surprise: "What did Mr. Anqiu say?" ”
"The king forgives the sins, the old man is foolish, and thinks that the three strategies proposed by Cao Sima and Fan Zuoshi may be very likely to work if they are used on other people." An Qisheng replied with a sneer: "But with Xiang Kang's ability to rebel against the minister, Cao Sima's three strategies are destined to be easily resolved by him. ”
Cao Ji, who finally figured out these three clever plans, and Old Man Fan looked extremely ugly together, and Cao Ji couldn't help but sneer and asked: "Mr. Anqiu, the official is going to ask for advice, how should Xiang Kang rebel and the ministers resolve the strategy of the official and Fan Zuoshi?" ”
"I don't know." An Qisheng replied very directly, and said: "The old man just thinks that with Xiang Kang's ability to rebel against the minister, he will definitely solve these problems easily, so that the king's hard work will be in vain. ”
Cao Yi laughed, Old Man Fan sneered and sneered, all of them laughed with great disdain, and Xiang Yu also said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Anqiu, you should concentrate on treating the injuries of this king, don't worry about the major affairs of the military aircraft." ”
An Qisheng smiled helplessly, closed his mouth and stopped talking, Cao Ji couldn't help but be furious when he saw it, and simply said: "Since Mr. Anqiu looks down on the official's plan so much, there must be a better way to punish Xiang Kang's rebellion, I don't know if Mr.'s clever plan is here?!" ”
"The old man is incompetent, and he can't think of a better way to punish Xiang Kang's rebels." An Qisheng shook his head, and suddenly said: "But the old man knows that under the king's account, there is someone who will definitely be able to come up with a better way to punish Xiang Kang's rebellion for the king." ”
"Who?" Xiang Yu asked curiously.
"The old man's friend, the king, your courtier." An Qisheng replied immediately.
Hearing An Qisheng's answer, Cao Ji and Old Man Fan inevitably sneered, Xiang Yu couldn't help but snort, he looked down on Kui Che who An Qisheng recommended to him, An Qisheng was a very good friend, and said: "Wang, the old man knows, you have always felt that the old man's friend Kuai Che is just a lobbyist who plays with his tongue, and he is not enough to entrust big things, but why don't you give him a chance to prove whether he can only lobby, or is he full of strategy and nowhere to play?" The old man is willing to use the first level of guarantee, and in the face of the current situation, Kui Che will inevitably have a better strategy to present to the king. ”
As in history, Xiang Yu still disdains Kui Che, who he doesn't look down on, but unlike in history, Cao Ji will have a fire in his heart, and simply help An Qisheng to speak: "King, since Mr. Anqiu is so confident in his friend Mr. Kui Che, then why don't you give Mr. Kui Che a chance?" Let's see if Mr. Kuicher is as full of strategy as Mr. Anqiu praised, but he can't use it? ”
Evil has evil retribution, Xiang Kang, who has done a lot of evil, has always been unlucky, listening to Cao Yao's instigation, Xiang Yu's heart was a little shaken, and the old man Fan over there was also very dissatisfied with An Qisheng's contempt for himself, and simply stood up and encouraged Xiang Yu to give An Qisheng's best friend Kuaiche a chance, Xiang Yu didn't have much interest in anything except fighting, unlike Xiang Kang, who cared about political affairs every day and was not afraid of exhausting himself to death, so he nodded and immediately sent someone to call Kui Che to the front and asked him to give advice on the current situation.
Kuai Che did not live up to An Qisheng's recommendation to himself, in front of Xiang Yu, Kuai Che, who had never been reused by Xiang Yu, only came up with an idea, which immediately made Cao Ji and Old Man Fan stunned and unbelievable, and also made Xiang Yu overjoyed, clapping his hands and applauding, "Sure enough!" That's it, and immediately act according to the plan for this king! ”
