Chapter 44: The Overlord of Western Chu
When Zhang Han, Liu Bang and others returned to their respective positions, this turmoil finally disappeared.
Of course, this is also thanks to Xiang Yu, seeing that Zhang Han could not come to the stage, he made a peace between the two, which allowed Zhang Han to retreat. Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhang Han will be even more ugly.
And after experiencing this little episode, Zhang Han also sat between the princes, and did not dare to make any changes.
Speaking of which, this time Zhang Han was cheated by Sima Xin, if Sima Xin could stand up and speak for himself, even if he couldn't get Hanzhong Land in the end, he would never be so embarrassed.
But Zhang Han also has to blame others, this can only be said that he is too young and does not have so much thought, compared to him, Sima Xin is much older.
Even if he cheated Zhang Han this time, he didn't say anything, as if everything was as it should be. Zhang Han looked at his old face and couldn't help but feel extremely angry, but this was obviously not the time to retaliate. He could only secretly suppress this sullen breath and drink the sullen wine alone.
"King Xiang, all the generals have been divided, so what do you say yourself?"
"Yes, yes. Among us people, the one who has made the greatest contribution is none other than King Xiang, if you don't become king, then we can't agree to anything. ”
As soon as Xiang Yu returned to his seat, the Chu generals on the side began to make noise, Xiang Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, and nodded to Fan Zeng beside him.
Receiving Xiang Yu's instructions, Fan Zeng stood up, and the Chu generals immediately closed their mouths, waiting to listen to Fan Zeng's words.
"King Xiang took the lead, and he was the first to destroy the tyrannical Qin, and he was called the overlord of Western Chu, and he also returned to Pengcheng, and owned the nine counties of Liang and Chu."
"That's great!" "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
During the banquet, a group of Chu generals applauded, Xiang Yu went back to Pengdi to be the king, and finally returned to his hometown, which not only fulfilled Xiang Yu's wish, but also met the wishes of the generals.
Qin Di is already in ruins now, and everyone doesn't want to stay here for a long time, plus the sergeants in the army are all in their hearts, so Xiang Yu's decision made most of the people in the Chu army extremely excited.
Of course, not all of the Chu generals were incompetent, and one or two generals seemed to have something to say, but seeing Xiang Yu's full of interest, he finally swallowed the words in his mouth.
Liu Bang frowned, got up and asked, "If King Xiang is the capital of Pengcheng, I don't know where Emperor Yi will go?" ”
Hearing this, the originally noisy crowd fell silent. Everyone knows that Emperor Yi is now the nominal king of Chu and has been staying in Pengcheng, and since Xiang Yu is called the king of Chu, he is bound to squeeze Emperor Yi out of other places, but he doesn't know what to do.
Xiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "I have informed Emperor Yi and asked him to move to Changsha on a certain day and set the capital of Chendi." ”
Hearing Xiang Yu's answer, the corners of Liu Bang's mouth couldn't help twitching, but he didn't say anything, just sat down silently. The other princes on the side were also silent, each secretly thinking about it.
Chendi is remote near Nanling, and it is not as prosperous as Pengdi, and when Emperor Yi arrives there, he is afraid that he will have to endure hardships.
But this is also a matter of no choice, now that Xiang Yu is powerful, where does Emperor Yi have any power. Although everyone here sympathized with Emperor Yi, but no one came out to speak for Emperor Yi, in this era, only having soldiers in hand is the king.
Emperor Yi has no name, but no power, even if he stays in Pengcheng any longer, he will inevitably be subject to Xiang Yu, and going to a place like Chendi may be an opportunity for him.
Of course, Zhang Han knew the fate of Emperor Yi, but he also bowed his head and was silent, and he was still not deeply rooted. Emperor Yi is far away in Chudi, and his life and death are naturally not something he can consider now.
After announcing Xiang Yu's self-proclaim, this time the sub-feudal kings finally came to a successful end, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads had their own royal seals. Although there was a little dispute about Hanzhong, it was harmless, and on the whole, except for a few old kings of the Six Kingdoms, the princes were quite satisfied.
After the sealing was completed, Xiang Yu immediately asked people to put on a banquet, and the princes held a banquet here.
"You were so reckless just now, looking at Uncle Xiang's way of pressing step by step, if it wasn't for King Xiang coming forward in the end, you would probably be planted in the hands of Gong Pei."
Han Wangcheng was still sitting next to Zhang Han, and now he finally dared to talk to Zhang Han again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he accused Zhang Han of not being stable enough just now.
"Alas, forget it, I'm still too reckless, and I can be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise." Zhang Han looked helpless and had to admit his mistake.
Although Han Cheng was useless, Xiang Yu still gave him the previous title, so he was in a good mood, and when he saw Zhang Han's embarrassed face at this moment, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, speaking of which, General Zhang, your courage is still quite big, if you really want to go back to Hanzhongdi, then what kind of Han King will Pei Gong make, I'm afraid he can only be called the King of Shu." ”
Zhang Han also smiled when he heard this, he didn't expect this, speaking of which, he almost changed history.
During the banquet, there were staggered plans, and all the people present were rough men, with three or five glasses of wine, they couldn't help but talk a lot, and the atmosphere was not so dull.
Yingbu and a group of Chu generals took turns to toast Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was arrogant, naturally he did not refuse to come, and accepted all the orders. Liu Bang also chatted happily with the other princes on the side, looking happy.
Of course, some people are proud, and some people are frustrated, and the weakened Zhao Wangxie was drinking sullen wine alone in the corner, no one was polite to him, and no one cared for him.
Zhang Han knew his mind and understood him very well. It's a pity that the reality is like this, if you don't have power in your hands, you have to be kneaded around by powerful people, and you can't be unhappy at all.
In today's troubled times, if you want to become a strong person, you must develop step by step. At this point, Zhang Han already had a very clear understanding that after the righteous army left, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to do in this mess in Guanzhong.
Because they were going to say goodbye soon, everyone persuaded each other to drink, and although it was already dark, most of them were still in high spirits, and frequently raised their glasses and laughed. Zhang Han and Han Cheng are talking about each other, but it is not boring.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier walked into the tent quickly, came to Xiang Yu and whispered something to him.
Xiang Yu was already three points drunk at this time, and after listening to the soldier's report, his face immediately showed an angry look, he waved his hand, and the soldier immediately ran out.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Xiang Yu in disbelief. Xiang Yu stared at him and didn't say anything, and after a while, he saw several soldiers escorting an old man into the tent.
When a few people came to him, Zhang Han recognized at a glance that this old man was none other than Han Sheng, who had just proposed to Xiang Yu to make the capital Xianyang. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, isn't this old man already gone, why was he arrested again.
Everyone present was also in general mind, looking back and forth in confusion, at this time, no matter how much they drank, they were no longer drunk, and they were thinking about Xiang Yu's intentions.
When the soldiers escorted Han Sheng to Xiang Yu, the soldiers led by him saluted and said, "Han Sheng, who has bewitched the people, bring it and wait for the king to deal with it!" ”
