Chapter 172: The Overlord of Western Chu
The kings of Wei, Han, Qi, Zhao, and Yan all gathered in Xianyang Palace, and they were all monarchs of various countries supported by Xiang Liang, with the purpose of uniting the forces of all countries against Qin.
Now that the Qin Empire has fallen, they are all looking forward to Xiang Yu's division of the land.
Wang Xu was by King Wei's side, looking indifferent.
Chu Yun accompanied King Chu Huai, and he didn't have to kneel down when he saw anyone.
Zhang Han was on the side, he was an important general of the Qin State, and Xiang Yu promised that he would be crowned king if he surrendered.
"It's not a big deal to be crowned king, I have heard that General Chu has unparalleled wisdom, I don't know what to suggest?" Fan Zengdao.
Everyone's eyes were on Chu Yun, knowing that this was Fan Zeng's embarrassment in public.
It is not a trivial matter to be crowned king, if Chu Yun does not satisfy Xiang Yu, he can take the opportunity to deal with Chu Yun.
Chu Yun smiled indifferently: "Those who oppose Qin, my Chu State has the greatest credit, so the vassal states should support King Huai as the righteous emperor and pay tribute to the Chu State every year."
The kings of the five kingdoms frowned, so that the king of Chu was higher than them, and although they were kings, they still had to bow down to the state of Chu.
But they couldn't object, Xiang Yu's 300,000 troops were waiting outside the Xianyang Palace, if they dared to object, they were afraid that they would not be able to get out of the Xianyang Palace.
"General Xiang destroyed the main force of the Qin State, and he worked hard and made great achievements, so he should be crowned king." Chu Yundao.
Fan Zeng smiled slightly, wanting to speak, but Chu Yun continued: "But General Xiang's courage is boundless, and he can break 300,000 by commanding an army of 30,000, the first person in the past and present, should be above 10,000 people under one person."
"If you just claim the king, you can't show his identity and domineering."
"In ancient times, there were Qi Mu Gong hegemon, Kyushu Gongzun, Jin Wen Gong, Song Xiang Gong, Jin Wen Gong, and Chu Zhuang Wang are all hegemons, who is not respected in the world, who is not respectful, which can not only reflect General Xiang's respect for Emperor Yi, but also reflect his respectful status."
"Yingzheng unified the six countries, consciously covered the three emperors, the five emperors of Deyue, and called himself the emperor, I think General Xiang also surpassed the five hegemons, it is better to unite the hegemon and the king, and call the overlord, and General Xiang is a native of the western part of Chu State, and can be called the overlord of Western Chu."
Xiang Yu shouted loudly: "What a sentence about the overlord of Western Chu, it is exactly what I want."
Fan Zeng's face changed drastically, and he said: "Yu'er can't, the big bully is only five, the little bully is only three, the ancient hegemons are like this, you must not be hegemonic."
Xiang Yu said disdainfully: "How can they compare with me, I am the overlord, and I should surpass them."
Fan Zeng pointed at Chu Yun angrily and shouted, "Chu Yun, what are your intentions? Do you want Yu'er to be no more than five, or not more than three. ”
Chu Yun ignored Fan Zeng and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the overlord, honor the Eight Desolations, and shock the world."
The people in the main hall all responded one after another, supporting Project Yu as the overlord.
Xiang Yu was very satisfied, and did not embarrass Chu Yun, he first divided the monarchs of the five countries and asked them to return to the fiefdom, although it was according to the division of the Warring States that year, but the fief they got shrank a few times.
Although the kings of the five kingdoms were not satisfied, they were helpless, so they left one after another in anger.
Zhang Han was named King Yong, and as for Liu Ji and other meritorious heroes, the date of the title was postponed.
Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant were talking about the division of the fief, and the two chose the fiefdom of Danyang, which was prosperous and a very ideal fief.
"If Pei Gong wants to be king, Danyang is a good fief, but Fan Zeng is full of hostility to Pei Gong and wants to murder you all the time, if Pei Gong chooses Danyang, it will be dangerous."
Zhang Liang and Chu Yun walked in and said with a smile.
"Where does the ovary think I'm going to choose as a fief?" Liu Ji asked.
Fan Zeng has always wanted to get rid of him quickly, this is his heart disease.
Zhang Liang looked at the map, pointed to a place, and said, "This place is the most suitable!"
"Bashu!" Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant glanced at each other, Bashu was a very remote land in the empire, the terrain was extremely treacherous, and the road was difficult to walk.
"Bashu is barren and weak, wouldn't it be a cocoon to choose this place!" Liu Jidao.
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Bashu is remote, it is very suitable for Pei Gong to recuperate, save strength, and escape from the surveillance of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng."
"Only Bashu is the place where Peigong develops, and you can survive."
"If Pei Gong doesn't want to fight for the world, he will be harmed by Fan Zeng at any time, then stay in Danyang."
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Bashu will be Bashu."
He met Xiang Yu and expressed his willingness to give up the fertile map to other heroes, and he could choose the barren Bashu.
"Bashu has a harsh climate and likes to eat insects, can you adapt there?" Xiang Yu squinted at Liu Ji and said casually.
Liu Ji said: "Of course!"
Xiang Yu said with a smile: "It just so happens that there are envoys from Bashu who are here, bringing their specialties there, why don't you give it a try."
He ordered people to come in with Bashu tribute, including centipedes, spiders, silkworms and bee pupa, all of which were insect food.
Liu Ji felt a little sick to his stomach when he looked at it, but he still took the centipede and the silkworm and stuffed it into his mouth and forced himself to swallow it.
"How does it taste?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Delicious on earth." Liu Ji gave a thumbs up, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said.
"Haha, since you like it, then I'll seal Bashu to you." Xiang Yu said with a smile, despising Liu Ji very much in his heart.
When Fan Zeng heard that Xiang Yu had named Liu Ji as the king of Han and the fief was Bashu, he hurried over to stop him: "Liu Ji is ambitious, and Zhang Liang is helping him, Chu Yun is close, Yu'er can't let him go."
Xiang Yu promised not to let Liu Ji leave, and Fan Zeng calmed down his anger.
"Ovary, what should I do?" Liu Ji asked anxiously.
If he can't go to the fiefdom, he will be killed by Fan Zeng sooner or later.
"It's a pity that Chu Yun has left, otherwise he will definitely be able to come up with a good way for you, King Han!" Zhang Liangdao.
"What, General Chu has left?" Liu Ji's face turned pale, and he asked urgently, "Is there no way to do the ovary?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "It's difficult!"
"Where did General Chu go?" Liu Ji asked.
Zhang Liang said: "I don't know."
They were trapped in Xianyang City, and Zhang Liang was also at a loss.
At this time, Fan Hao walked in and said, "King, General Chu handed over a bag to the last general, saying that he could help the king."
Liu Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the bag.
"Chen Ping?" Liu Ji looked at the bag, only the word Chen Ping was written, and there was no content.
"What do you mean?" He asked, puzzled.
Zhang Liang pondered and said, "Chen Ping is the advisor of the king of Wei, but the king of Wei adopted Wang Xu's strategy and ignored Chen Ping."
"Chu Yun recommended him, there must be something extraordinary, I will go to see him for King Han."
Liu Ji could only make a desperate bet and nodded in permission.
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping met, they were good friends for many years, and the two talked all night and hated to see each other late.
"It turned out that General Chu recommended me, but I can't imagine that he hasn't forgotten me." Chen Ping smiled, and the doubts in his heart were relieved.
He and Chu Yun had met in a famous family, at that time he admired Chu Yun very much, and now he still hasn't changed, he is a loyal supporter of Chu Yun, a few years have passed, but Chu Yun remembers him and trusts him, which makes him feel deeply honored.
"King Han is trapped in Xianyang Palace, Fan Zeng refuses to let him go, can Brother Chen Ping have a way?" Zhang Liang asked.
