Chapter 188: Xiong Xin's Plans

"The general is so hard to make the widow wait." Xiong Xin stepped forward and patted Xiang Liang's shoulder and said with emotion.

Liu Yuan's brows tightened, Xiong Xin's actions shocked him, and at the same time, he was even more vigilant against Xiong Xin. Liu Yuan will not let Xiong Xin have great power, otherwise, he will not have any interests to speak of.

"The king, Liang Dapo Li You, finally lived up to the king's expectations." Xiang Liang replied respectfully.

"Well, the widow already knows that this Li You came to Surabaya County to attack my Chu State, so that the widow is like a fish in the throat, fortunately, the general led the troops to resist Qin." These righteous words praised Xiang Liang like a great hero of the Chu State, but Liu Yuan's contribution to providing rice and grain did not say anything at all, such a big contrast shows Xiong Xin's dissatisfaction with Liu Yuan.

In the lobby, Fan Zeng smiled nonsense, which was a little meaningful. Liu Yuan and Xiao He gradually became gloomy, and the atmosphere in the entire lobby immediately became gloomy. Perhaps noticing Liu Yuan's demeanor, Xiong Xin felt a shock in his heart, and he also sweated, after all, Pengcheng is still under Liu Yuan's control. Therefore, Xiong Xin restrained a little, he stood with his hands in his hands, and became solemn again. "Let's all sit down first." Xiong Xin coughed and said in a deep voice.

After everyone sat down, Xiong Xin glanced at Liu Yuan, then looked at Xiang Liang and said: "The general has broken the enemy and returned, and he must have also known about the alliance of the six countries, Qin General Su Jiao led 50,000 troops and has conquered Handan. ”

"What the king said is very true." Xiang Liang nodded, and should lind. "I don't know what the king's arrangements are for this alliance, Liang is willing to be the vanguard and share the king's worries." This beam has already begun to plan for the next alliance.

"Huh?" Xiong Xin didn't expect Xiang Liang to be so direct, he groaned in a low voice, with a hesitant look on his face, and his eyes glanced at Liu Yuan from time to time. He had also heard of the fight between Xiang Liang and Liu Yuan, and at this moment, if he appointed Xiang Liang, it would inevitably make Liu Yuan angry, which Xiong Xin did not want to see for the time being. But if Liu Yuan is appointed, Xiang Liang's title of general will become a false name, and he will inevitably be angry.

This is a difficult decision, Xiong Xin is still a little sideways to Xiang Liang, but it can't be so obvious, which makes Xiong Xin anxious.

"The general broke Li You for the Chu State, and he was tired outside for many days, how dare this alliance bother the general again." Liu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but Xiao He said something.

"Hehe, you must be Xiao Xiancheng." Hearing Xiao He's words, Fan Zeng also suddenly laughed and said, "This is a bad word, Xiang Lianggong is the general of the Chu State, and he should work hard for the Chu State." ”

Seeing Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang's ministers arguing with each other, Xiong Xin patted the desk and scolded: "There is no need to argue, the widow has already made a decision, the general Xiang Liang and the deputy general Liu Yuan are each leading the soldiers under the account, and the widow is personally in charge." ”

"Shhh Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang both took a breath, they didn't expect Xiong Xin to take advantage of the situation of the two fighting each other to highlight his status. Xiong Xin is the king of Chu, nominally the lord of Chu, but in reality, his order cannot leave Pengcheng, and Chu has been divided by Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang. But this time, he wants to personally command the troops, and once the alliance is formed, this cannot be underestimated. After forming an alliance, Xiong Xin, with the help of the other five countries, may really be able to obtain actual military power. This is what neither Liu Yuan nor Xiang Liang wants to see.

"Your Majesty, it is extremely dangerous to form an alliance against Qin, how can you personally command the troops?" Xiang Liang took the lead in persuading.

Hearing Xiang Liang speak, Liu Yuan said in a deep voice: "Please think twice, the king!" This sentence is meaningful, how to understand Xiong Xin, I am afraid that he really has to "think twice".

Seeing that both of them were opposed, Xiong Xin sighed in his heart, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." This alliance will be jointly negotiated and responsible for by the general and Adjutant Liu. Okay, all of them stand down, the widow is very tired. ”

"No!" Xiang Liang, Liu Yuan and others exited the lobby.

After Xiang Liang returned, he also ordered to set up camp, although he did not get the right to form an alliance with Xiong Xin this time, it was not without gain, at least this gap between Xiong Xin and Liu Yuan allowed him to plan carefully.

"General, Xiong Xin is already dissatisfied and resentful of Liu Yuan, this time he may be able to make good use of the alliance." Fan Zeng also saw the clue, so he couldn't wait to propose.

"Yes, but this bear heart still has ambitions, but it also worries me." Xiang Liang groaned and said his thoughts.

Fan Zeng smiled and continued to speak mockingly: "Xiong Xin really can't see the situation clearly. ”

In Pengcheng, Xiao He also couldn't hide his sorrow, he arched his hand and said to Liu Yuan: "Lord, Xiongxin's attitude is very unfavorable to you. ”

Liu Yuan knew Xiong Xin's thoughts, but this was really too naΓ―ve. Liu Yuan clasped his hands in front of his chest and pondered for a moment before he said, "With Peng Cheng here, even if Xiong Xin struggles, it will be useless. ”

"The alliance is on the horizon and I hope everything goes well. This beam is getting tighter and tighter, and the lord needs to be cautious. Xiao He said again.

"I know that. By the way, how is the grain requisition going? Liu Yuan also asked in a deep voice.

Xiao He replied with a gloomy face: "The families of Donghai and Huiji counties are quite dissatisfied, but the people's homes are much smoother. ”

Liu Yuan had long thought that this would be the case, he smiled and ordered: "Rice and grain are very important, and it is not easy to take over the power of requisition grain from Xiang Liang, so it must not be delayed because of this." In this way, those who passed on the order of the king of Chu and refused to collect grain were punished with rods. If you don't comply, you will all be forced into conscription! ”

"No! Ho this is going to be arranged. Xiao He nodded, and also agreed with Liu Yuan's policy, in the matter of requisitioning grain, there must be no ambiguity and hesitation. Of course, this kind of high-pressure policy will inevitably cause resistance, but these must be much smaller than the alliance against Qin. After all, this rice grain will inevitably be used in the upcoming war.

The document of Wei Wangjiao's proposal to gather in Pengcheng to hold an alliance ceremony has been sent to Zhao Wangxie's hands, and Zhao Wangxie has no opinion on this decision, and then he ordered: "Chen Yu, order you to go to Pengcheng to discuss the specific matter of the alliance. ”

"The rest will be done immediately." Chen Yu gave up the order, and then hurried to Pengcheng under the escort of hundreds of Zhao soldiers.

In Qidi, after receiving the letter, Tian Rong, the general of Qi State, has been silent, and Qi State now has 30,000 troops, and its strength cannot be underestimated among all countries. Tian Rong snorted coldly, "It's actually in Pengcheng, why am I in Qi Kingdom?" But Pengcheng's geographical location is indeed convenient, which is also what Tian Rong can't refute, and in the end, he can only reluctantly accept this proposal. As a result, Tian Rong left 10,000 troops to guard Qi, and he led 20,000 Qi troops straight to Pengcheng.

The second is to ask for Sanjiang tickets!
