Chapter 146: A Vital Meeting
King Chu Huai's palace, because it is a hasty move to the capital, the palace has not yet been built, King Chu Huai is now temporarily living, it is the most luxurious aristocratic mansion in Pengcheng, and after transformation, although it is not as good as the palace, but it is not much different.
And the battle of the giant deer, the pre-war meeting related to Qin Chuqi, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the fate of the two kings, was launched here.
When Wu Han followed Fan Zeng all the way to the palace of King Chu Huai, the moment he stepped into the gate, Wu Han suddenly felt a strange fluctuation, he couldn't help but slow down his pace to capture the fluctuation, but unfortunately it was fleeting, although Wu Han sensed it with all his strength, he could no longer catch it.
Delusion?
This sudden abnormal fluctuation made the excitement in Wu Han's heart cool down instantly, because he didn't know that it was because of the tense atmosphere, which caused him to be nervous and caused an illusion, or there was indeed something abnormal, Wu Han couldn't tell what was going on, so he could only hold back his doubts and continue to move forward, but a haze lingered in Wu Han's heart.
Walking through the corridor, Wu Han and Fan Zeng, led by the heralds, appeared in a renovated hall.
At the moment when he entered the main hall with Fan Zeng, that fleeting strange feeling appeared again, and this time, Wu Han was sure that he was absolutely not wrong in perceiving it, but because he had arrived in the main hall, he had no extra time to explore carefully.
At this time, in the main hall, a group of people were waiting for Fan Zeng's arrival.
The majestic and dignified King of Chu Huai is located in the middle, and there are many people sitting on his left and right sides, respectively, Song Yi and Xiang Yu are the high-level officials of the Chu State, a total of more than a dozen people.
On the left, led by Song Yi, and the people sitting below were all the cronies of King Chu Huai.
In ancient times, the left was respected, which shows Song Yi's current status in the eyes of King Chu Huai.
Below Xiang Yu on the right are Liu Bang and others, leaving a vacant seat next to Xiang Yu, which is obviously reserved for Fan Zeng.
Seeing this situation, Wu Han, who entered the hall with Fan Zeng, knew that there was no seat of his own, but he didn't care, all he cared about was the meeting itself, as for where it was, he didn't care, so when Fan Zeng walked towards his seat, he also walked to the side with interest.
"Dare to ask the king, but the commander who has decided to go north?"
Straight to the point, Fan Zeng walked while opening his mouth and asked directly to King Chu Huai of the main seat, his voice was not high, but it was irresistible, and at the same time his eyes looked at King Chu Huai, although calm but contained a strong oppressive force.
And it was precisely because of Fan Zeng that Wu Han's appearance was also downplayed, so that no one even knew about his existence.
This is Fan Zeng's ability, which has the effect of influencing the target invisibly through feeling like a strategist.
Even Xiang Yu, who is stubborn and self-serving, will still be restrained under Fan Zeng's ability, and King Chu Huai is naturally no exception.
Wu Han, who was standing on the side, saw that under Fan Zeng's oppression, King Chu Huai was instantly stabbed in the throat, and the originally prepared rhetoric did not know how to speak because of the weakening of his momentum.
However, Wu Han didn't think that Fan Zeng's aggressiveness could achieve results, because in the main hall, there was the existence of Song Yi.
This person may not be good at fighting, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is proficient in vertical and horizontal cooperation, in other words, he is a strategist who mainly focuses on vertical and horizontal arts.
Fan Zeng's ability may be effective in front of others, but it is useless in front of him, which is also the reason why Xiang Yu is constantly losing military and political strength in the power struggle with King Chu Huai.
Sure enough, as Wu Han expected, when King Chu Huai was unable to resist Fan Zeng's might, Song Yi, who was the first seat on the left, made a move, he didn't say anything, he didn't even make any movement, just a look, which instantly made King Chu Huai return to normal, Wu Han could feel that there was a soft force that shrouded King Chu Huai, counteracting Fan Zeng's strength for him.
Wu Han could sense it, let alone Fan Zeng, but he seemed to have expected it and directly brewed the next wave of offensive, but just as he was about to launch it, King Chu Huai spoke:
"I don't know what the opinions of the Qing family are?"
With King Chu Huai's opening, all the offensive that Fan Zeng was brewing collapsed in an instant, because what he was trying to do was to force him to make a choice before King Chu Huai opened his mouth, and now King Chu Huai's opening announced that Fan Zeng's purpose was frustrated, and he kicked the ball back.
"Something is wrong, with the ability of King Chu Huai, even if Song Yi helps him, it is impossible for him to recover so quickly, so that Fan Zeng doesn't even have time to launch a second wave of offensive!"
The power struggle in this hall may be a deception in reality, but in the game it is relatively simple, it is a competition of personal ability.
Just like the battle for the rights between Xiang Yu and King Chu Huai, if Fan Zeng can suppress Song Yi, it will be Xiang Yu's victory.
It's a pity that Fan Zeng said that he was scheming, but after all, he was just a strategist, although his strength was much stronger than Song Yi, but it was only in military warfare, and he was definitely inferior to Song Yi as a strategist in politics.
It's just that although Song Yi has an advantage, Fan Zeng shouldn't be powerless to fight back, Wu Han vaguely felt a trace of abnormality, thinking of the strange state he felt twice when he entered this kind of palace before, and a vague guess appeared in Wu Han's heart.
In order to test his guesses, he focused on everything about this meeting.
"The king, the last general thinks that in the face of Zhang Han's hundreds of thousands of troops, our army is weak, and we must have the cooperation of all vassal states to have a chance of winning, Lord Song Yi has close contacts with various countries, and only he can be the commander."
As King Chu Huai spoke, the people below Song Yi immediately launched a counterattack, because they had made sufficient preparations in advance, so their attack was extremely fatal.
"Humph!"
Fan Zeng returned to his seat and snorted coldly, but there was no excuse to fight back, because this was indeed Xiang Yu's weakness, or the weakness of the entire Chu State.
The State of Chu has no way to compete with the powerful State of Qin with the strength of one country!
"What do you think, ministers?"
Seeing that Fan Zeng was dumbfounded, King Chu Huai also completely recovered from his influence, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue and said the words he had prepared earlier.
"The minister seconded the proposal, it is imperative to unite the princes, and no one is more suitable than Lord Song Yi."
Soon, there were people who agreed to Song Yi as the coach.
And at this time, Fan Zeng could only watch King Chu Huai and his cronies perform and could not do anything, of course, he had expected this situation, so at this time, he looked at Liu Bang on the side and motioned for him to come forward.
It's a pity that Liu Bang turned a blind eye and silently watched the confrontation between Fan Zeng and Song Yi.
Wu Han also followed Fan Zeng's gaze to Liu Bang, he looked at Liu Bang, who was unusually calm, Wu Han felt as if he was waiting for something.
"I'm against it!"
Liu Bang didn't make a move, but Xiang Yu, who was the first seat on the right, couldn't help it, and before King Chu Huai finished his performance and was about to make a decision, he suddenly let out a sound.
In an instant, a devastating power erupted with Xiang Yu as the center, and in that loud shout, Xiang Yu mixed all his momentum, oppressing everyone and making it difficult to move.
With this sound, the atmosphere and situation brewing by King Chu Huai and Song Yi collapsed in an instant, and the things that were originally going to be decided suddenly turned around.
"It is worthy of being the overlord of Western Chu, this power is so powerful that no one dares to take its edge!"
Wu Han's eyes were also attracted by Xiang Yu's voice, looking at Xiang Yu, who was wearing cyan heavy armor, heroic and extraordinary, and the almost frozen atmosphere in the hall, Wu Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The sharp-edged Xiang Yu did stop King Chu Huai, but it also put everyone in an embarrassing situation, too rigid and easy to break, King Chu Huai is now the nominal king after all, Xiang Yu is so faceless, how can everyone step down?
Wu Han didn't think that Xiang Yu could change anything by himself, otherwise in history, Song Yi would not be the main commander.
And now, in this world, there are basically no players, and if Wu Han doesn't affect anything, the plot will not change.
"The king, the minister thinks that the Qin army is strong, and our army enters Hebei to rescue Zhao, if there is only one line of the north road, I am afraid it will be difficult to work, and we should divide our troops to attack Qin and enter Guanzhong in the west, so that we can not only threaten Xianyang, but also contain the Qin army."
Sure enough, at this critical moment, Song Yi spoke up, he did not fight for the position of the coach, but proposed a strategy to divide the troops.
Although this strategy was not clever, it diverted everyone's attention at once and buffered the tense atmosphere on both sides.
Moreover, not only that, this strategy is also specifically aimed at Xiang Yu.
"This Song Yi, although the military aspect is not worth mentioning, but in the political aspect, it is really not to be underestimated, he used the westward expansion as a bait, and used Xiang Yu's desire for revenge to force Xiang Yu to give up the northward advance, and took the initiative to fight for the westward entry into the coach, this guy actually counted this step."
On the side, Wu Han set his eyes on Song Yi, his appearance was mediocre and his clothes were extremely simple, but his methods were extremely clever, making it difficult to ignore his existence.
Song Yi obviously expected this to happen, so he proposed such a strategy to ** Xiang Yu.
And sure enough, Xiang Yu fell into the plan, after Song Yi proposed the strategy of going west, he was originally aggressive, even if he hesitated, he did not have the previous momentum, because he really wanted to go west.
"This is a very good strategy, I don't know what the Qing family wants?"
After Xiang Yu's momentum weakened, the pressure on King Chu Huai's body also dissipated, and he took a moment to breathe and spoke again.
"Great King, although the strategy of westward expansion seems to be good, the division of troops will only weaken the strength of our army, and it is not conducive to destroying Qin."
Xiang Yu did not object, but Fan Zeng objected, he could naturally see through Song Yi's tricks, how could he let him succeed.
"This king knows that the strategy of advancing westward is not the best policy, but the enemy is outnumbered, if it is not a surprise victory, how can our army have a chance of winning?"
"The King's ......"
"I've made up my mind, so I'll do it!"
In the end, without Xiang Yu's interference, Liu Bang sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, Fan Zeng was unable to return to the sky alone, and the westward strategy was forcibly set by King Chu Huai.
After everyone acquiesced, King Chu Huai cleared his throat again, looked around at everyone, and asked out loud:
"I don't know you, who is willing to lead the troops westward and attack Xianyang directly?" (To be continued.) )
