Chapter Seventy-Three: New Talents Emerge
In the city of King Wei, when Xiang Yu was defeated, King Wei was very happy in the palace, and when he was young, no courtier dared to flatter.
At this time, King Wei was furious: "What's the matter? Now that the southern land of Xichu has been defeated, why is there no fly flattery in the ears of this king? I'm so angry that this king is dead! ”
Situ Buqi gave a vague thumbs up, but he didn't dare to comment too much, afraid that the king would change his face and harm himself, but Xiangguo Liao Ying was not, after observing the words for a moment, Liao Ying decided to take the lead in speaking, in fact, then again, it must be very human to be able to become the prime minister of the country, if the prime minister does not open his mouth now, then what else does the king want him to do, for that meager money, Liao Ying can be regarded as a free man.
"My lord, I am afraid that my words will anger the king, but this is not good, but what about it? No, this minister may be difficult to be, king."
"What's so hard about being human? Xichu was defeated, you just said okay, isn't it okay? King Wei's relaxed words were exchanged for the response of the ministers.
"Good" followed by King Wei leaning over and smiling: "What's good?" ”
Liao Xiang continued: "Fortunately, ......"
"Say it!"
"Liao Ying didn't dare"
"Don't dare to cut off your head!"
"Fortunately, Xichu was defeated"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" The conversation between King Wei and Liao Ying suddenly seemed funny and easy-going, but the answer that King Wei wanted was still not reached, and with the word King Wei's beheading, the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
"Oops!" King Wei's eyes were closed, his face was displeased, and then he said: "Look, this group of wrecks and wrecks have been defeated, and Western Chu has been defeated, are you waiting for this?" Even if that person loses, he won't be afraid of us anything, can we still dominate? At this time, in the middle of the court, just in a corner, a sturdy, dark-skinned general came out of the ranks, excluding the eyes of everyone, and said: "The last general thinks that this is not the best time"
"If you have the ability, deny the words of this king, drag it out and cut it," Wei Wang said.
Then a guard came in, and all the courtiers discussed: "Yes, no big or small, we don't speak, you are a guard commander who dares to speak?" ”
None of the ministers in the court spoke, and at this time, only the guard commander Zhan Xufeng spoke, which also made the ministers jealous, but at the moment when the guard commander Zhan Xufeng was about to be dragged out and beheaded, he threatened: "In less than half a month, it is enough to accept Jiangling and use 20,000 soldiers."
The ministers criticized this person for being arrogant, but they didn't know that King Wei looked at him calmly: "What you say is credible? ”
"Skull vouches"
"What am I going to do with your ugly head?"
"Life guarantee for the whole family"
One of the courtiers replied, "That's nothing."
But the king of Wei was different: the "good" thumbs up, and the king of Wei then asked for 20,000 elite soldiers to be allocated to Zhan Xufeng.
Situ Buqi tried his best to stop: "The king can't send troops ......"
"Huh?" As King Wei's eyes widened, Situ Buqi immediately turned his voice and said, "It's impossible!" ”
"Good! Or Lord Situ is sensible, this king admires you the most, and Xiangguo will leave it to you in the future" After King Wei's words, Xiangguo Liao Ying hurriedly knelt down: "King, Liao Ying is guilty"
"What are you guilty of?" King Wei glared.
Then Liao Ying said: "Does the king not want Liao Ying?" ”
"What are you excited about? Every prince is basically a left and right country, you two can just be left and right" Wei Wang said, Liao Ying hurriedly thanked, and then Buqi was also grateful.
"I say, Stuart Butch, what are you grateful for?"
"Thank you for the king's promotion of me to be the prime minister?"
"Hehe, I'll just say it, you really believe it" King Wei's casual expression made all the ministers depressed.
But then, it was the important thing that King Wei asked: "Say, what kind of wind is it occupied?"
"It's Zhan Xufeng" Butch prompted, King Wei smiled: "Okay, there is the style of Xiangguo, this king likes it, hehe" and then returned to business, and the ministers looked at Zhan Xufeng.
"Tell me, how to play," Wei Wang said.
At this time, Zhan Xufeng said: "At present, the army of Western Chu is afraid to be angry with Nanyue, and it coincides with the confrontation between the two sides, at this time, there is no conflict between my Wei and Nanyue, and Nanyue has always adhered to the strong man of the Central Plains, so Nanyue does not want to be too close to Western Chu, and my Wei sent 20,000 troops to guard Jiangling, giving both sides a chance to relieve, bringing 20,000 Wei troops to arrive, and immediately garrisoning, combined with the Yangtze River natural danger guard, the entire southern territory of Wei has expanded, and the territory has increased greatly."
"Brilliant plan!" The King of Wei was full of praise, and the ministers all said that it was very good, and then the King of Wei said: "Is it foolproof?" ”
King Wei is indeed a puzzling character, talking about clever plans, and asking questions about whether it is a big deal, but then Xiangguo Liao Ying stubbornly said: "King, if you send troops, you will come out, and if you don't come out, you will not come out, and everyone will be dizzy if you go around like this."
It's really neurotic to say, King Wei has always been strong, and now that Xiangguo Liaoying's words appeared, King Wei not only did not accuse, but said: "Xiangguo is hard, how can Wei not be strong, pass my order, give the army talisman, let Zhan Xufeng accept the order of General Pingnan, raise 40,000 troops, you must get Jiangling for this king, do you hear?"
From this point of view, it turns out that King Wei is a character who is inconsistent with the outside, don't look at pretending to be crazy and stupid every day, in fact, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and for the overall situation of the Central Plains, he has been waiting to peep, once there is an opportunity, Wei is like a jackal prey, surging up.
After the King of Wei arranged, he told Xiangguo to defend heavily in Wei and be careful that Western Chu counterattacked Wei itself.
The ministers bowed and said from the bottom of their hearts: "The king is wise"
"Ah, don't be wise, once you are wise, everyone will punish you, I'd better be a confused King of Wei, haha" After King Wei spoke, he began to giggle again, and the ministers suddenly understood that it turned out that King Wei insisted on the truth that the winner was the one who survived to the end.
In the Jiangling area, the defenders of Chu were sparsely guarded by a few people, at this time, I saw Zhan Xufeng leading the army to speak in the city: "Don't worry about the Chu army upstairs, your king sent us to take over your guard of Jiangling, at the moment the contradiction between Nanyue and Western Chu is too deep, I don't want you to sacrifice in vain, hurry out of the city to meet us"
After Zhan Xufeng's words, Wen Chengyun, the general of the defenders of the city tower, hurriedly muttered to himself: "At that time, Hou Qin Mengying was also like this at a critical moment, it seems that I have many friends in Xichu."
A guard admonished: "Now that there is chaos, is Wei helping us?" ”
"Nonsense, the little Wei State dares to argue with me Xichu? Isn't that looking for death? The general's meaning was clear, and then he opened the city gate, and the Wei army was like a realm.
Then Wen Chengyun returned to Xichu, and when he met the overlord, Wen Chengyun first visited the family, and then said: "I have been fighting abroad all the year round, and I finally have the opportunity to come back to visit my family, it is not good for my son, husband, and father."
Wen Chengyun's voice at this time, in fact, has already represented the voice of most of the people of Western Chu, due to the long years of fighting, and there is no good foregone conclusion, the family can not be a member of the group, and the people have been fighting again and again, who can understand the voice of the people?
It's a pity that Wen Chengyun's voice at this time is too faint and can't wake up everyone's minds, and then a guard came to pass the word, asking Wen Chengyun to meet the overlord.
"Take care, I'll go to the king to make a deal" Wen Chengyun's heart just completed the long-term peace plan, but he didn't know that it was actually a trick of the Wei people, and what was waiting for him would not be a simple negotiation, but the wrath of the overlord!
"Bastard!" The overlord was angry, and then rushed off the throne, lifted Wen Chengyun up, and wanted to devour Wen Chengyun alive, but later, the overlord was persuaded by the ministers on the side, and at this time, Fan Zeng rushed to hear that Jiangling was taken by the Wei people without abolishing a soldier, and Fan Zeng vomited blood without anger It was good enough.
"You say, why did you hand over Gangneung City?"
"Great King, the Wei people said that you communicated well, and the Wei people are not our opponents of Western Chu at all, how can they be so rampant?" After Wen Chengyun's words, the overlord did not speak, and Li Yi on the side said: "General Wen, this is not what it used to be, at that time, because the national strength of Western Chu shook the Central Plains, no one was afraid, and now it consumes physical strength with the Xiongnu, consumes national strength with the Hans, consumes troops with the Zhao people, and consumes morale from the Nanyue State, and now Western Chu needs a time to recuperate....... Ay! ”
Suddenly, Wen Chengyun came to his senses, for the whole treatment of Xichu now, as a city defense general, Wen Chengyun did not know well, nor did he have any long-term vision, at this moment, it felt like Xichu was in a state of falling into a well, Wen Chengyun lowered his head and did not speak, and then the overlord ordered to drag it out and cut it, charged with dereliction of duty, but Fan Zeng was ready to keep Wen Chengyun, and at the moment when the guards were ready to clamp Wen Chengyun, Wen Chengyun said from the bottom of his heart: "Actually, I miss home"
The words that suddenly appeared instantly made the ministers of the court burst into tears, and after a while, Wen Chengyun said: "After fighting for so long, who of us Chu people is not homesick?" The king said let's live a good life, but now? Suddenly, Fan Zeng ordered the guards to subordinate him and cut him down, Xiang Yu hesitated on the contrary, in fact, Xiang Yu's heart was touched right now, but Fan Zeng felt that it was a chaotic army and must be removed!
"Father!"
"Yu'er, you can't drag out and cut it down with the kindness of a woman at this time"
"Yes"
Xiang Yu was silent, and then everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.
But Fan Zeng has something to say: "Everyone, please listen to the old man's words"
Everyone looked at Fan Zeng and listened carefully to his explanation: "If there is a war today, do you think everything will be fine if you go home?" Will the enemy army spare our families? If you don't take up the arms of resistance, who else will? Your father? Your mother? Or your wife and children? Fan Zeng pointed at everyone, the ministers bowed their heads and said silently, and then the dragon said: "What the father said is good, we must take back everything we have lost."
"Good!" The ministers said, at this time, Long He asked for his life, hoping to send a general to conquer Gangneung.
At this time, there was a general Tian Jun appeared, Tian Jun was Tian Du's half-brother, in order to promote the newcomer, and it was a confession to Tian Du, so Xiang Yu decided to send Tian Jun with 10,000 elite soldiers to go out.
Tian Jun responded: "My brother Tian Du's art of war, Tian Jun is from his heart day and night, this time he must serve Xichu, conquer Jiangling, and do not return without victory"
The momentum is amazing, but in the north, Han Xin received Chen Chi's information, and smiled from time to time: "I can't imagine that the King of Wei is also a very, at a critical moment, he fell into the well, of course, it is impossible for Western Chu at this time to destroy the Wei State, of course, the Wei State has also swallowed his anger for a long time."
At this time, Chen Chi asked, "Han Shuai, what should we do next?" ”
Han Xin smiled peacefully and said, "Visit Sanqin"
