The overlord of Chu used a trick to test Fan Zeng, abandoning Han Xin and Xi Chu instead of destroying Han!

Since Fan Zeng left the Chu Palace in anger, he has been saying that he is sick at home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he was very annoyed with Xiang Yu, he still hoped that the other party would come to him and then release his suspicions.

Zhou Yi was very anxious after seeing Fan Zeng start to say that he couldn't get sick. And when he learned that everything was caused by Xiang Yu, he complained angrily.

"The military advisor has worked hard for Xichu, and everything is for the sake of his overlord! But his overlord refused to pay attention to the hard work of the military advisor. I see that his wings are stiff, and he thinks that he can make up his mind in everything, which is simply ungrateful!! ”

Zhou Yi became more and more angry at this time, but before he could finish speaking, Fan Zeng had already stopped him sharply.

"Enough!! Zhou Yi, don't talk nonsense! I've always taught you to be careful with what you say and do, but you never listen. The old man knows that you are unfair for me, but how can you say this overlord's gossip?! ”

Seeing that Fan Zeng was a little annoyed, Zhou Yi had no choice but to shut up. And just when the two of them fell into silence again, the chamberlain of the Chu Palace came to pass on the order.

Knowing that Xiang Yu sent someone to deliver his life, Fan Zeng hurriedly ordered someone to welcome the other party in. After seeing Fan Zeng, the chamberlain hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said slowly: "Old Fan, the little one is on the order of the overlord, and I have come to invite you to enter the palace to discuss important matters!" ”

Hearing that Xiang Yu was going to let himself enter the palace, Fan Zeng was slightly stunned. And after Zhou Yi listened to the words of the servant, he immediately rushed to say angrily: "The overlord wants to see Fan Lao? Doesn't the overlord know that Fan Lao is sick?! What is the important thing that wants Fan Lao to go to him?! Can't the overlord come to the mansion to negotiate with Fan Yafu?! ”

Zhou Yi finally used the title Fan Yafu, intending to remind Fan Zeng that he was Xiang Yu's elder. Although Xiang Yugui is the overlord, he still has to respect Fan Zeng after all.

Fan Zeng saw that Zhou Yi was aggrieved for himself again, and he was a little anxious at the moment. But before he could open his mouth to scold, the chamberlain had already replied with a smile: "The overlord naturally misses Fan Lao. It's just that this time the discussion is a military affair, and the courtiers of Western Chu are all waiting in the palace at the moment, and everyone is waiting for Fan Lao. The overlord was also helpless, and he couldn't let everyone come, so he had to send a small one to invite Fan Lao! Moreover, the overlord was concerned about Fan Lao's sick body, so he ordered a small one to prepare a car. As for the car that came to pick up Fan Lao, it was even more used by the overlord to drive! ”

Hearing the words of the servant, Zhou Yifang gradually dissipated his anger. And Fan Zeng was also relieved when he learned that Xiang Yu had sent a car. After preparing for a while, he hurriedly got up and headed for the Chu Palace.

As soon as Fan Zeng entered the Chu Palace, he immediately saw that the courtiers were all standing in the palace. When he entered the main hall, the courtiers saluted him together.

Xiang Yu saw Fan Zeng's arrival, and hurriedly got up to greet him. At this time, he seemed extremely humble, and he couldn't see that the two had broken up unhappily before.

After ordering someone to prepare a seat for Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu returned to the throne. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiang Yu immediately said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, this king adopted the words of his father and planned to make peace with Han Xin, the king of Qi. But when the king of Japan got the news, Han Xin was just a false snake. Not only does he have no intention of joining forces with my Xichu, but he is also waiting for an opportunity to prepare to attack the Yan Kingdom! What's even more annoying is that he also set up a scheme, planning to deceive this king, and then attack my Xichu with that Liu Bang. Such a dangerous and cunning person is really not to be left behind. This king decided to take advantage of the unstable strength of the Qi State and immediately conquer the Qi State! Today, I invite you to come to discuss this matter! I also hope that the father and Aiqing will brainstorm and express their opinions! ”

Hearing that Xiang Yu was preparing to cut Qi, the courtiers were all a little surprised! And the most surprised were Fan Zeng and Zhong Liwu......

"Overlord, is there any misunderstanding in this?! The last time the last general sent out the envoy, Han Xin did not have the actions that the overlord said. And according to the observation of the last general, he still has a heart for attachment. If you think something must have gone wrong, please think twice! ”

Zhong Liwu was extremely anxious at the moment, so after Xiang Yu said that, he put forward his opinion. But after listening to Zhong Liyu's words, Xiang Yu did not respond directly to the other party. At this time, he just sighed softly, and then said to Fan Zengyan: "Father, it is a fact that this Han Xinyang is against Yin. It was found out by our messengers. Originally, I didn't want to do this, but keeping Han Xin will eventually become a disaster! ”

Fan Zeng heard that everything was probed by the messenger, and the doubts in his heart deepened. But at this moment, he was more concerned about Xiang Yu's attitude, because he always felt that the other party seemed to have something to hide from him.

After pondering for a long time, Fan Zeng finally had an attitude. At this point, he chose a prudent approach.

"Yu'er, what the envoy has probed may indeed be true. But the more this is the case, the less we can afford to be too anxious. It is necessary to know that at present, it is Qi, Han and Han to fight against the enemy and our Western Chu, even if our military strength is stronger than his three, it is inevitable that there will be omissions or ill-considerations. If you want to win Hanshin, you need to make proper arrangements! ”

Xiang Yu listened to Fan Zeng's suggestion and felt that it was very reasonable. Although he didn't see anything unusual about Fan Zeng, he was still suspicious. In order to further probe the test, he hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "Then according to the will of the Father, how should we plan?!" Is this Qi country fighting or not fighting? ”

Fan Zeng heard Xiang Yu's question, and then closed his eyes. After only a moment, he reopened his eyes and said slowly, "The top priority now should be to reach a consensus with the Yan State, because only if we attack the Qi State on both sides at the same time, can we fight a battle. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if we destroy the Qi State, then Han Xin will also flee back to the Zhao State or South Korea! What's more, if you want to destroy Qi, I'm afraid it will be a lot of suffering. Secondly, we should rein in the hearts of Yingbu, the last time he attacked Korea, he used domestic affairs as an excuse and did not send troops. Now that I think about it, we must have been bewitched by that ovary, and now we must get him on our side again, which is also to prepare for the battle with Han Han in the future. ”

After listening to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu nodded slightly. For all of Fan Zeng's opinions, he still felt pertinent. But at this time, he saw Long Ji's eyes, and immediately thought that he should confirm it again, so he hurriedly said: "Yingbu's place, it is indeed necessary to send someone to it." However, Yan Guo has a long way to go, and he is afraid that between the back and forth, Han Xin's strength has increased. Therefore, I will send troops, and I want to ask Ya Father to bring his own troops, and I will send Zhong Liwu to go out with Ya Father, hoping that Ya Father can defeat Han Xin in one fell swoop! ”

Seeing that Xiang Yu insisted on attacking Qi immediately, Fan Zeng was very puzzled. But when he heard that Zhong Liwu was sent to go with him, he already vaguely understood.

Suspicion is like a chronic poison, either slowly torturing the suspicious person to death, or making the suspicious person finally go to a dead end. The only way to overcome this suspicion is to show the utmost sincerity and gradually restore the confidence of the suspicious person. However, this method is not entirely effective, because once suspicion has begun, it is difficult to end it easily。。。。。。

Fan Zeng seemed to have only two options at the moment, one was to argue with reason, and to make it clear that all this was the conspiracy of the other party, and then try to dispel Xiang Yu's suspicions. But this method is likely to get darker and darker. The other is to obey Xiang Yu's arrangement, so as to reassure the other party. It's just that this method can only cure the symptoms of a while, not the root of a lifetime.

After a long time, Fan Zeng finally made a decision, and his decision was precisely the third one.

"Overlord! You asked the old minister to lead the troops to fight, and the old minister should have taken the order. However, the old minister's health is not as good as before, and he is old, if he really does what he is ordered, I am afraid that he will treat the lives of my Chu soldiers as child's play, I believe that the overlord you don't want to do this, right?! Since you insist on attacking Qi, the overlord, then the old minister has nothing to say. Now the overlord is the lord of the world, and his decision has his own holy will. And the old minister is already a candle in the wind, so let the old minister tell the old man. “

When the ministers heard that Fan Zeng wanted to tell the old man, they were all stunned. And Xiang Yu was even more careless at the moment, he didn't expect Fan Zeng to resign from him.

Since Xiang Yu recognized Fan Zeng as his father, Fan Zeng has never called the other party's overlord, and even when all the ministers are there, he still calls himself an old man. This old minister is called the first time. And this also shows Fan Zeng's anger and disheartenedness at the moment。。。。。。

Faced with the delicate situation in front of him, Xiang Yu did not express his position for a long time. And Fan Zeng was kneeling on the ground at the moment, always waiting for Xiang Yu's answer.

The past is vivid in my mind, and everything in the past is as if it were yesterday. When Xiang Yu remembered that Fan Zeng had done his best for his hegemony, his heart suddenly began to ache faintly. And just when Xiang Yu was about to say something, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt on the ground together and began to persuade Xiang Yu to let him stay with Fan Zeng。。。。。。

Seeing that the courtiers were all reluctant to give up Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although he also knew that Xichu needed Fan Zeng, he was more wary in the deepest part of his heart.

After a while, Xiang Yu suddenly left the throne, and then hurriedly came to Fan Zeng, and then helped Fan Zeng up.

"Father, don't say anything to the elderly. Are you really unwilling to assist Yu'er anymore?! Yu'er knew that this matter was a little anxious. But the situation is urgent. If Han Xin gathers strength and echoes Liu Bang and Zhang Zifang at that time, then wouldn't my Xichu be in danger?! That's why I want to solve Hanshin as soon as possible, so that I can free up my hands and feet to concentrate on solving Korea's problems. ”

After listening to Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng immediately sighed lightly. In fact, he didn't want to leave, this act of telling the old man was just a means for him to dissuade Xiang Yu. Although he did not approve of Vaqi's move, he recognized Xiang Yu's idea of attacking the enemy one by one.

"Yu'er, since you have the heart to destroy Han, then Yafu will make another plan! Now although Han Xin's troops are insufficient, he is a powerful person, and the Zhao State behind him alone is enough to give him enough assistance. Once we attack the Qi Kingdom, it will be a protracted war, and if we can't win, it will undoubtedly damage our own strength. Fortunately, now that Yan Guo balances Han Xin, I believe that in the short term, he will not dare to make a move. As long as we can eliminate Zhang Zifang and Liu Bang, it will be equivalent to gaining most of the territory of the Central Plains, and the attitude of the King of Henan and the King of Yin will definitely change. At that time, it will be easy to clean up Han Xin. “

Destroying Qi was changed to destroying Han, although it was not Xiang Yu's original intention, but it really echoed Xiang Yu's strategic thinking. Seeing that the situation had developed to such a point, he had no choice but to agree to Fan Zeng's suggestion. At the same time, suspicion and temptation were temporarily abandoned.

"Spread the king's command! The army of Western Chu is ready to follow the king to attack Han for the second time! This time, this king wants to destroy Han!! (To be continued.) )
