Chapter 2 Chu and Han Heaven and Earth

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising broke out, taking this opportunity, the six countries of Shandong rose accordingly, and jointly overthrew the tyrannical Qin, broke out in the history of Chinese civilization, the first largest, and organized peasant uprising.

Among the kings and marquis, the short-term alliance easily uprooted Qin Zheng, and soon entered the dispute between the kings, and among the kings, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the son of the Red Emperor, were the most prominent, looking at the overall situation, for the overlord Xiang Yu, Liu Bang was just meat in the pot, which could be cooked and eaten at any time, since Liu Bang entered Shu, Xiang Yu felt that it was easy to control Liu Bang.

Right now, for the overlord Xiang Yu, the most important thing is to annex the other heroes, so as to strengthen his own power, because, although the world is big, everyone wants to be the king? So at the moment, it is inevitable that the four seas will return to one.

At the beginning of the uprising, Xiang Liang raised the banner of the uprising on the grounds of giving the people too safe a life, trying to revitalize the Central Plains.

With the death of Xiang Liang in battle, Xiang Yu, who inherited the will, was even more powerful, making up reasons to eradicate King Chu Huai, and Xiang Yu led the army, and the power can already dominate the world, of course, everyone is greedy, with the strength of the power, how to satisfy Xiang Yu's aspirations in that little bit of land? After sitting firmly in Jiangdong, at the suggestion of his middle father Fan Zeng, he tried to annex the four seas and unify the world.

"Now, the entire empire is exposed in front of us, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely overthrown, but now, the rising five kingdoms of Shandong should not be underestimated, and Qi, Wei, Yan, Han, and Zhao cannot make us Chu, so we need to face it..."

Before the words were broken, Xiang Yu's heart was turbulent again, and then, his middle father Fan Zeng had a dynamic, but he seemed to stop talking and thought a little.

After the careful Xiang Yu observed: "What is the high opinion of the middle father?" ”

"My son Xiang Yu, it's not the middle father who said you, Liu Bang who is hidden in Hanzhong, I have to guard against it, this person is treacherous and cunning, if you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, it will be difficult to calm down for the heart of your father, maybe the person who competes with you Xiang Yu for the world must be him Liu Bang"

Fan Zeng's words made Xiang Yu feel embarrassed by the court.

"In front of the important ministers, should the middle father leave a little thin face for Yu'er?" Xiang Yu's tone was half pleading.

And Fan Zeng sternly told Xiang Yu: "If my son doesn't kill Liu Bang, his middle father won't be blind when he dies, and his face can be worth a few bags of money, and now in front of him, there is a living world."

The so-called loyalty is against the ear, Fan Zeng's words, and he is aggressive, which makes Xiang Yu, who is domineering, unhappy in his heart."

But then a fine work stepped forward, and suddenly, a terrifying secret gave the overlord of Chu a chance to refute his father: "Enlighten the overlord of Chu, after Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, there was almost no news, and there was an exact battle report that the king of Hanzhong secretly ordered his soldiers to destroy the plank road and not prepare to come out because he was afraid of the overlord, so as to avoid the overlord's crusade."

"Can the middle father hear?"

"Foolishness, my son"

Speaking of the trick, Xiang Yu seemed to be very interested, but the last two words, stupid, instantly angered the arrogant Xiang Yu, for Xiang Yu, it is better to be insulted than to be killed, but because Fan Zeng is the middle father, Xiang Yu cannot be offended, this is also the principle of Xiang Yu's life.

Because Fan Zeng was upright and often nagging, coupled with this insult, Xiang Yu's heart was full of flavors.

Holding back his temper, he then said, "Father Zhong, who am my Xiang Yu?" Liu Bang, can I tolerate him? After the Hongmen banquet, the west of the land is Han, and the east of the soil is Chu, this is Yu'er's plan to delay the army, wait for me to annex the five countries of Shandong, and then lead the troops to the west and annex Liu Laosan, why not? ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Xiang Yu did not admit the king of Hanzhong from the bottom of his heart, but only briefly described it with a few words of Liu Laosan, which made everyone speechless, Fan Zeng is a smart person, and he feels that Xiang Yu does have the heart to kill Liu Bang, and he is a little comforted.

For Xiang Yu's understanding, Fan Zeng understands very well that he can't force Xiang Yu anymore, otherwise, he may not have the heart to destroy the king of Hanzhong because of rebellion, so the middle father reluctantly gave Xiang Yu face, smiled three points, and replied: "It's good for the overlord to decide, and Liu Bang can't stay."

After a moment of words, Fan Lao was once again hot-headed, and was about to continue, only to see Xiang Yu laugh for three minutes, and asserted: "This matter has been decided, quickly draw up a plan, and go north to attack Zhao!" ”

"Yu'er..."

After a moment of words, I saw that Xiang Yu had already gotten up and left, and Fan Lao couldn't say anything.

In fact, both Xiang Yu himself and Fan Lao know very well that Xiang Yu is a good-looking person, because the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han has gradually turned into righteousness between buddies, but for the struggle for royal power, it is not righteousness that has the final say, at this time, it clearly reflects the benevolence of Xiang Yu's woman.

Looking at the moon, Xiang Yu faced the west, and he thought a little in his heart: "My Western Chu Overlord is a true hero, so Brother Liu, I am looking forward to it, Chu and Han can fight fairly, of course, whether it is before or in the future, you can't be my Xiang Yu's opponent, the old, weak, sick and disabled Han Army is definitely not the opponent of my invincible Chu Army, for the two armies, just on the development of the Chu State, you can completely defeat your Han Army, so from the perspective of support, Jing Chu behind my Chu Overlord is already a strong landscape, and the favor is sent to you, In terms of the right time, place and people, I have a great advantage, the middle father is too ignorant, I not only want to defeat you now, but also let the whole world feel that I am defeating you with benevolence and righteousness, and let the whole world be impressed, and when I recover the five countries, when I deal with you again, don't blame me Xiang Yu for being ruthless! ”

In fact, Xiang Yu doesn't know, his heart wants to be ruthless, but he can't be ruthless at all, benevolence and morality constrain Xiang Yu's bottom line, in a peaceful and prosperous era, benevolence and morality bear the first priority, and in troubled times, it is not benevolence and righteousness that pay attention to it, but more to take the winner as the king to determine the troubled times.

"Benevolence, righteousness and morality, face, I have had" At this time, Liu Bang sat alone in the tent" sighed from time to time, and at this time, Zhang Liang suddenly visited, and then smiled and said: "Lord, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhang Liang's words woke up Liu Bang, who was thinking, and then Zhang Liang pleaded guilty: "Lord, please forgive Zhang Liang for being rude, uninvited, hearing the lord's testimonial, and hoping that the lord will give him sin"

Liu Bang turned his head, smiled slightly, and then said in a mocking tone: "Oh, Zhang Liang, laugh with me again, offend you?" I, Liu Bang, can give sin to myself, and I will not sin against you."

"The lord laughed"
