Chapter 99: Betrayed Again!
At the shogunate banquet, Xiang Zhuang and Liu Jizhongjian broke up unhappily. Because of the kindness of the woman and Xiang Bo's dissuasion, Xiang Yu insisted on going his own way and did not accept Fan Zeng's suggestion to kill Liu Ji.
Although this incident caused the Xiang family to fall apart, it seems that Xiang Yu forgave Liu Ji. But Fan Zeng's Son of Heaven weather, Feng Shui Xuan said, made Xiang Yu regard Liu Ji as a thorn in the flesh.
During this period at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was the time when Feng Shui scholarship was on the rise, and various scholars emerged in an endless stream.
Whether it is the government or the public, they are very devout to the metaphysics of feng shui. Because of this, Fan Zeng's words of the Son of Heaven completely touched Xiang Yu's heart.
Because of the impact of this incident, Xiang Yu's wariness of Liu Ji was not eliminated through the banquet.
……
In the middle of ten days, Xiang Yu appeased the angry father Fan Zeng, and also reconciled with his uncle Xiang Uncle. The top level of the Chu army seemed to have returned to the past all of a sudden, and the tension at the banquet did not happen.
In the shogunate hall, there is a huge map of the Central Plains, on which the forty-eight prefectures are clearly marked.
……
On top of the long table, there are Chu wine, tender mutton, and some herbs. Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng sat opposite each other, and both of them looked a little dignified.
The farce at the banquet is a thing of the past, and today they need to thoroughly discuss who to divide and what to divide into places.
For the sake of secrecy, there are only two people in this matter, Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu. Within 100 steps of the shogunate of the Chu army, there were many armor soldiers and were heavily guarded.
……
"Father, do you have a countermeasure to divide the world's meritorious generals?" After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yu no longer hesitated, and said towards Fan Zeng.
"Major General, there are three difficulties in the world!" Fan Zeng stretched out a finger: "One, the disposition of King Chu Huai's bear heart, how can I block the mouth of the world." ”
"Second, what should be done with the kings of the six kingdoms who have completed the revival of the royal government!"
"Third, it is for the division of the young general and Liu Ji, how can we occupy the righteousness and not lose the reputation. At the same time, it can occupy the most advantage. ”
……
"Father, please speak!" Xiang Yu was not impatient, but laughed heartily for the first time, and his tone was also peaceful and solemn: "Xiang Yu listens!" ”
"Good!" Fan Zeng exclaimed in admiration, and smiled casually: "If the major general is like this at the banquet that day, there will be less trouble." ”
teasing Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng hurriedly chased back the topic: "Young General, first we have solved it, respect the king as the righteous emperor, and migrate to Chenxian County, Changsha." ”
"Second, let us denounce the old lords of the six kingdoms, and seal them as kings. Dismembering the Six Kingdoms and sealing the world with military merits, only in this way can the general occupy the name of righteousness. ”
"As for the third, the Xiang clan has quite a foundation in Chu, and the old man thinks that the young general should lead Chu. As for Liu Ji's meritorious service, he had to be sealed. ”
"Then it will be sealed in Liaodong, use Liaodong to balance Liu Ji, and at the same time split the Yan State to eliminate Liu Ji's hope of Liaodong!"
……
Fan Zeng knew very well that if he couldn't kill the beasts that might cause harm, he would lock him up. If a potential enemy cannot be eliminated immediately, he will be blocked and blocked.
Whether it is Liu Ji or Hu Hai, they need to take great precautions, only in this way can the threat of the two people be weakened and Xiang Yu can sit firmly in the world.
……
However, there are no impermeable walls in the world. Even if Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu discussed secretly, they still leaked the news. The plan to divide Liu Ji as the king of Liaodong and lead the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong has not yet been officially promulgated.
But the news revealed behind the scenes alarmed a figure early, and this person was Zhang Liang.
At the banquet of the Chu army shogunate, Zhang Liang once again experienced Xiang Yu's strength and tyranny. In the camp, after receiving the news that Liu Ji was sealed in Liaodong, he was deeply worried.
He clearly knew that for Liu Ji, entering Liaodong was equivalent to being under house arrest. In the isolation of being difficult to go out, ambition and will will be consumed by fine clothes and food.
He is extremely optimistic about Liu Ji, and thinks that Liu Ji is talented and strategic, and he should be the lord of the world. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang acted quickly.
Zhang Liang is a wise man who clearly perceives the current situation, and he clearly understands that the division of the world seems to be decided by Xiang Yu's order.
After careful observation, he found that Fan Zeng was the mastermind behind the formulation of the plan and the overall planning of the matter. Only the scheming Fan Zeng can formulate a plan that is beyond people's expectations.
This time, Zhang Liang got the news and did not delay in the slightest. He immediately went to Liu Jijun's camp to meet Liu Ji.
……
"Pei Gong, I just got the news that the general wants to seal Pei Gong in Liaodong and Liaoxi counties, and the hope of Pei Gong entering the Central Plains!" Walking into Liu Jijun's shogunate, Zhang Liang said impatiently.
"Sealed in Liaodong?" Liu Ji frowned, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.
In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, if there is no need, no one wants to go. Even if he is crowned king, Liu Ji is reluctant.
"The bitter cold land of Liaodong, far away from the Central Plains!" Liu Ji sighed heavily and stood up suddenly: "Dare to ask Mr., is this true?" ”
"Seriously!" Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, word by word, and said: "This is the news from Uncle Xiang, it should be true!" ”
"Sir, what countermeasures can be taken to solve Liu Ji's danger?" Liu Ji sat on the ground and sighed: "If there is, please ask Mr. to help Liu Ji!" ”
At this moment, Liu Ji's expression was solemn and his attitude was extremely sincere. He knew that the only person who could change the outcome might be Zhang Liang, who had a deep relationship with Xiang Bo.
Liu Ji knows Xiang Yu too well, once Xiang Yu makes a decision, ten cows will not be able to pull it back.
"I can only try it in the future, whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on the will of God!" Zhang Liang bowed solemnly: "Please Pei Gong, prepare two thousand taels of gold and twenty liters of pearls!" ”
"Good!"
Shooting the case, Liu Ji ignored his injuries and bowed deeply: "Where Liu Ji goes, it's all up to Mr." ”
……
Liu Ji knew that Xiang Yu was a simple-minded soldier, and he lacked the ability to make political judgments about the complex political arrangements and balance of power such as dividing the world, in addition to his emotional likes and dislikes.
The plan he provided to Fan Zeng was often indecisive. At this time, the opinions of the Xiang family, especially the head of the family, Xiang Bo, always had a decisive impact on Xiang Yu.
It was precisely because he understood this that he would be so simply handed over two thousand taels of gold and twenty liters of pearls to Zhang Liang to dredge up the relationship.
In Liu Ji's view, Zhang Liang has a lot to do.
……
After bidding farewell to Liu Ji, Zhang Liang immediately came to see Uncle Xiang. Zhang Liang knew that this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, once Xiang Yu issued the edict, it would be too late.
"Please report to the right order Yin, the old man asks to see!" Standing outside Xiang Bo's mansion, Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said.
"Mr. doesn't need to report when he comes, please come here!" The old man naturally knew Zhang Liang, and when he saw Zhang Liang, he immediately bowed down and introduced him.
"Please ——!"
