Chapter 344: Tian Rong is not angry with the three kings
Although Han Xin worshiped as a general of the Han Dynasty, Fan Xu and the others didn't think so at all, but it was recommended by Xiangguo and Pingnanhou, even if they were dissatisfied, they were embarrassed to say it.
Shu did not mention all the things, and said that the Central Plains was chaotic, and now that Emperor Yi is dead, many princes naturally look to the head of the overlord of Chu, but there are also people who are unwilling to surrender and want to make some moves.
Speaking of this matter, it can be traced back to the lifetime of Emperor Yi, when Xiang Yu had meritorious service and suggested dividing the princes and kings of the Eighteen Roads, Emperor Yi did not dare to disobey, so he naturally did so.
Other princes, everyone did not complain, but Qi Di was restless, at that time, Qi Di divided three kings, namely Qi Wang Tian City, that is, the king of Jiaodong, this person is the son of Tian Zhan, the previous king of Qi.
There is also a Qi king Tian Du, I don't know what kind of person also, the identity is only Tian Zhan's deputy general, the king of Qi was defeated by Zhang Han, this kid saw that the momentum was not right, so he took refuge in Wu Xinjun, so he was named the king of Linzi, but Linzi already had the Marquis of Pingnan, so he had to change to the king of Qi, and Tian City was the king of each other.
Finally, Tian'an, the king of Jibei, is probably just a nobleman of Qi country, slightly famous in the local area, and Emperor Yi is expected by the public to be the king of Jibei, so there are three kings in Qi.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with holding one place, but some people are not convinced, this person is Tian Zhan's younger brother Tian Rong, like Tian Du and Tian An can be crowned kings, I Tian Rong has the right to soldier, why can't he be crowned king.
Tian Rong was not crowned king, and his mood was not too bad, after all, he could assist his nephew Tian Shi, and the three kings did not have anything to brag about.
Qi is fertile for thousands of miles, Tian Rong, as the Xiangguo of the king of Jiaodong, naturally wants to subdue the three kings, make Qi unified, and then divide the world with the king of Chu, isn't it beautiful.
But Tian Rong's first step encountered a setback, at that time, Tian Rong had already written a letter of advice to Tian Shi, and informed Tian Shi of all his grand undertakings.
How do you know that Tian Shi is just the thought of a rich child, and he only hopes to be in a corner of peace and not quarrel with the world, so he put down Tian Rong's ideal.
When Tian Rong learned of this, he was very unhappy, I am an uncle, planning such a good future for my nephew, you are so casual as a nephew, and you still don't accept it, what can you do in the future with such an attitude.
In addition, Tian Yi likes the life of dogs and horses, but no matter what, this Tian City is his boss after all, and if it is obviously killed, it is inevitably a little inappropriate.
Now I heard that Xiang Yu killed the righteous emperor and moved to Chenxian County, so he had a plan and went to Shutian City, the meaning is very clear, although you are the king of Qi, but there is another identity, that is, the king of Jiaodong.
Since he is called the king of Jiaodong, he should go to Jiaodong, it is not good to stay in Anping, Tian Shi saw Tian Rong's letter, and he also felt that it made sense, so he agreed to Tian Rong's request.
But when it was time to leave, Tian Rong monopolized the power, and only gave Tian Shi more than 100 people, and there were only a dozen followers.
When Tian Rong heard about this, he closed the door and did not come out, and Tian Shi saw that Tian Rong had no intention of sending troops, so he didn't ask any more, so he had to leave Anping with one hundred and ten people and go to Jiaodong.
Everyone, think about it, what can these 100 people do, others don't have 10,000 people, and there should be 1,000 people, this is only 100 people, what's the matter, despite this, there are still people who run away from the road, but before they arrive in Jiaodong, there are only a dozen people around Tianshi to serve.
Tian Rong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately sent troops to Jiaodong, and directly intercepted Tian Shi halfway.
Tian Shi was dead, Jiaodong had no owner, Tian Rong should have occupied Jiaodong, sorted out the army a little, and went to Jibei to attack Tian'an.
At this time, Tian An was named the king of Jibei, and he was a descendant of the nobles of Qi State, and he knew Tian Rong's methods, so he immediately ordered people to recruit troops everywhere and prepare to meet the enemy.
But Tian Rong dispatched troops quickly, and his soldiers were all remnants of Tian Zhan's soldiers, and he hated and was very jealous of Tian An.
And Tian An's soldiers and horses were recruited in time, how to compare with Tian Rong's troops, the two armies were against the enemy, Tian Rong's soldiers and horses were superior, so they won, occupied Jibei, and killed Tian An.
And the other Qi king Tian Du, who is Tian Zhan's deputy general, knew that he was invincible to Tian Rong, and led his family to flee from the wind, and then disappeared, he should be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
In this way, Tian Rong occupied two-thirds of the land in less than a month, which can be regarded as a hegemon, but he did not establish himself as the king and wanted to curry favor with Xiang Yu.
After Tian Rong rested the army, he wrote a silk book and sent it to Xiang Yu, wanting to show favor to him.
The book said: "Jiaodong King Xiang Tian Rong bowed his head suddenly, now Qi is chaotic, the three kings have no way, Tian Shi is drunk with lust, Tian Du does not care about his family and country, he abandoned the people and fled, but sadly, Tian An was originally a nobleman, and the king should treat the people well, but the temperament of the people, like Mount Tai, is difficult to move, causing the people in the country to be bored. ”
"Chen Tian Rong knows the suffering of the people, he can't bear to see the lives in misery, he wants to imitate the king of martial arts, kill the city and An, and flee from the wind, and he doesn't know where to go. No, it is the virtue of the overlord, so that the Quartet submits, but the subordination can not help the overlord to re-neatly also, Rong Dun bowed again. ”
Xiang Yu was overjoyed after reading Tian Rong's silk book, thinking that Tian Rong was not interested in fame and fortune, only for the people, so he looked for a Qi nobleman from Chu, named Tian Jiao, and wanted Tian Rong to assist him and make him king.
But Tian Rong's meaning seems to be different from Xiang Yu's, and now Qi has calmed him down, but he just wants Xiang Yu to make him the king of Qi, although the tone is tactful, but think about it carefully, who else can be called king in Qi except him.
After Tian Rong finished sending the silk book, he thought that the overlord must understand what he meant, and only waited for the reply from the overlord of Western Chu in the mansion, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly happy.
However, after more than a month, the Qi envoys returned from Chu without any seals, but brought back a Qi nobleman and a letter from the overlord.
The book said: "Jinda Rong has merit in pacifying Qidi, but the people of Qi are many fierce and difficult to govern. ”
Tian Rong read the letter, his heart was furious, and he immediately ordered someone to bring Tian Jiao up, and looked at Tian Jiao a little carefully, thinking that he was just a mountain and a wild village.
"The overlord doesn't know what I mean? Could it be that you deliberately deceived me and did not want me to be king? Tian Rong thought to himself.
After all, the princes and kings of all sizes in the world are all overlords, and the name is a bit unruly after all, and it still needs to be confirmed by the overlord.
"Xiangguo, what should this person do?" The envoy next to him asked helplessly.
Tian Rong took a slight sip of warm tea, and frowned, "Imprison him in the mansion, so that the overlord will not know, and then make a decision!" ”
