Chapter 155: The Legacy of Hanzhong
Xiang Yu was angry and cooked Han Sheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other strategists kept silent, and no longer dared to point fingers at Guanzhong.
Xiang Yu didn't care about all this, and he already had his own considerations about splitting the land and dividing the princes, so why did he need others to check it? Two days later, the results of the division were officially announced:
Guanzhong Qin State is divided into three parts: Zhang Han is the king of Yong, and governs the west of Xianyang. Sima Xin was the king of Sai and governed the east of Xianyang. Dong Fei was the king of Zhai and governed the north of Xianyang.
The Qi Kingdom of the East China Sea was also divided into three parts: Tian Shi was the king of Jiaodong and Du Jimo, Tian Du was the king of Qi and was Linzi, and Tian An was the king of Jibei and Boyang.
Although Han Sheng made Xiang Yu very angry, Xiang Yu clearly understood how important the Qin State and the Qi State were. The Qin region is mainly in Guanzhong, blocking mountains and rivers in all directions, relying on the vast Qinling Mountains, the barrier is natural, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Qi is far away on the coast of the East China Sea, regardless of the ups and downs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, Qi has always maintained the status of a strong country and a rich country, and there has been more than one male lord including Qi Huangong, the head of the five hegemons. Because it is the farthest country from Qin, it is the strategic beneficiary of Qin's long-distance close attack, and has hardly encountered any wars that have broken the muscles and bones, and has been subdued by Qin's soldiers without blood, with dense population, fertile soil, rich resources, and amazing potential.
Guanzhong Qindi, East China Sea Qi Land, can not be controlled by people alone.
In order to avoid the stability of the two territories, Xiang Yu adopted the strategy of Qin people governing Qin and Qi people governing Qi.
Zhang Han and the three were Qin people, but they were indeed the generals of the Qin State, which led to the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers, so their prestige was limited, which could not only stabilize the Guanzhong region, but also divide the Guanzhong region and avoid the situation that the tail was too big to fall.
The reason for the Qi State is similar, the three Tian people he selected are all relatively easy to control, and they are the descendants of the Qi royal family, they divide the powerful and rich Qi land into three, which can basically eliminate the risks.
After the two most important places were sealed.
Xiang Yu gave Liu Bang the two counties of Bashu covered with mountains, and the other six restored princes returned to their original places, but compared with the territory of the Warring States Period, the territory of the princes of all walks of life was greatly reduced, such as Wei Bao as the king of Western Wei, Han became the king of Han, Zhao Xie was the acting king, Zhang Er was the king of Changshan, Zang Di was the king of Yan and so on.
The old princes of the Six Kingdoms were interspersed with a group of princes.
It is mainly used to contain and divide each other.
These princes are all Xiang Yu's cronies.
Xiang Yu is not stingy with his own people, represented by Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang. Ying Bunai is one of the five famous generals under his command, and he played a vanguard role in the entire war to destroy Qin, so he has outstanding military achievements. Xiang Yu directly divided the four large counties of Chu to Yingbu, and with Yingbu's strength and bravery, he directly deterred these princes.
Of course.
How can you be without yourself?
Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, governing nine rich counties in the west of Chu State, connecting the Sanqi region on the top and the Jiujiang Kingdom on the bottom, and the capital was set in Pengcheng.
Xiang Yu will make such a decision is related to his character, first of all, Jiangdong's hometown is here, Xiang Yu and most of the backbone and subordinate soldiers are almost all from here, returning to their hometown in fine clothes, glorifying their ancestors, it is very important for Xiang Yu.
Secondly, Pengcheng is not a simple place.
This has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times!
It is the headquarters of Chiyou, the first capital of the Yellow Emperor, because it chokes the intersection of the Yellow River and several tributaries, and also chokes the dragon veins in the Central Plains.
If Guanzhong Xianyang is a place of defense, Xichupeng City is a place of attack.
Xiang Yu doesn't like to defend, he seems that the best defense is to attack, compared with the impregnable Guanzhong Xianyang, he prefers to sit in Xichupeng City to deter the princes of the world!
The plan of the princes of the Eighteenth Road was announced, and the alliance of the princes was all boiling, some people were overjoyed, some people were secretly dissatisfied, and some people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Among them, the biggest reaction is none other than Liu Bang, one of the biggest heroes of the destruction of Qin!
Because this kind of division is too unfair to Liu Bang!
Liu Bang in the process of destroying Qin, he is a well-deserved hero, his merits can be said to be among the best, and he was once full of expectations to be named the king of Guanzhong, even if it is unlikely that the king of Guanzhong will be crowned later, at least he can be crowned the king of Qi or something, who would have thought that Xiang Yu would actually throw him into Bashu.
Is Bashu a place where people live?
Bashu is still poor and evil, not only far away from the Central Plains, wild and uncivilized, the mysterious ancient Shu soul has not completely disappeared, there are more intricate terrain and forces, even after hundreds of thousands of years, it is very difficult for outsiders to enter Bashu, this place is like a prison, Liu Bang is thrown into it and it is impossible to come out again!
Where's the separation? It's exile!
What made Liu Bang even more unbearable was that when Xiang Yu's edict was issued, another order was issued to Liu Bang. Because Han Cheng, the king of Han, asked Xiang Yu to return to Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu agreed on the spot without thinking about it, and ordered Liu Bang to send people back immediately when he received the edict.
"Too much deception!"
"Too much deception!"
King Xiang's envoy was still waiting outside.
Pei Gong, whose dream of King Guanzhong was shattered, was thundering in the house at the moment.
If the king of Guanzhong can't do it, it is enough to cause a huge blow, and if even Zhang Liang can't keep it, the future is simply dark.
Who knew that at this moment, Fan Hao hurriedly ran in: "We found Xiahou Ying!"
After Xiahou Ying disappeared in the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang has been ordering his subordinates to look for it, but he didn't expect to find it at such a time, more precisely, to find Xiahou Ying's body, he was frozen like a piece of ice, his whole body was stiff, his face was blue, his eyes were round, and he always maintained a hysterical appearance before death, and there were three huge arrow wounds on his chest!
He's dead!
Xiahou Ying is dead!
Liu Bang looked at Xiahou Ying's corpse and was stunned.
Fan Xu, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo stood silent, they had never seen Pei Gong show such an expression.
Liu Bang is a sinister and ruthless hero, but a hero is also a human being, and people have feelings. Xiahouying is one of Liu Bang's few friends, when Liu Bang was still a gangster in Pei County, the two were already brothers and sisters as confidants, Xiahouying is not only loyal and trusting to Liu Bang, but also the one who knows Liu Bang the most among everyone.
Who would have thought.
Xiahou Ying will leave like this.
Liu Bang felt that he had fallen into the abyss, boundless pain was enveloping him, eating away at his reason and heart little by little, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already full of bloodshot, and an unprecedented majesty and momentum were released from Liu Bang's body.
"Gather troops and gather generals!"
"Attack the item!"
Fan Xu, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo's faces changed greatly.
Is Pei Gong planning to break the jar?
Liu Bang is only two or three hundred thousand people, how can they shake Xiang Yu, they can't watch Liu Bang go to death!
Cao Shen immediately persuaded: "Pei Gong, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and now Xiang is strong and Liu is weak, you can't do it!"
Zhou Bo also hurriedly persuaded: "Xiang Yu's famous generals are like clouds, and there are millions of male soldiers, even if other princes join forces, they may not be able to help Xiang Yu!"
The persuasion of the two was ineffective, because of the exile of Bashu, Zhang Liang was taken away, and Xiahou Ying was killed, either of which was too big a blow to Liu Bang, Liu Bang lost his dignity, lost his status, lost his future, and lost his friends, making him feel that he had no hope of rising at all, so that his anger and humiliation broke out, and now he just wants to fight with Xiang Yu to the death.
Fan Xu didn't have time to speak, he retreated directly, and about a few minutes later, when Cao Shen and Zhou Bo were about to lose their breath, Fan Hao took Xiao He to push the door and walked in.
Xiao He's first sentence made Liu Bang stunned: "Zifang expected that the Pei Guild was going to fight with Xiang Yu, so he had already returned to King Han before, hoping to dispel the idea of Pei Gong being sent to death." ”
Liu Bang's face became very ugly.
Zhang Liang left without saying a word?
Zhang Liang is Liu Bang's biggest reliance, if Zhang Liang is still there, although the chance of winning is still slim, but there may be a glimmer of possibility, after all, Zhang Liang is known as a saint, but now even Zhang Liang has abandoned him, how can he fight Xiang Yu? This sentence made Liu Bang suddenly like a deflated ball.
"Book of Zhou" cloud: Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it!" Xiao He admonished with a straight face: "The matter has come to this, it is the will of heaven, Pei Gong goes against the sky, like a moth to a fire and kills himself." It's better to continue to forbear, at least a prince king!"
It's over!
Liu Bang almost fell into despair.
It hadn't been so difficult since he revolted.
He can grovel, he can endure humiliation, he can go through suffering, as long as there is hope!
What is in front of us now is a dead end, do you really want to honestly go to Bashu to resume the post? How difficult is the Shu Road, once you enter, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out, and you will completely lose the opportunity to dominate the world!
"The ovary expected Pei Gong's reaction, so he left a last plan, and according to this plan, it can be determined!"
Xiao He took out a bag from his arms.
Zhang Liang knew that Liu Bang's situation was difficult to change.
Since it is no longer possible to change, it is necessary to seek further benefits on the basis of the present.
The moment Zhang Liang received the transfer letter, he left Liu Bang almost without hesitation, which was actually done for Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng to see, as long as Zhang Liang left Liu Bang, Liu Bang's threat would be reduced by more than half, and Liu Bang would accept the division of the land of Bashu, and the remaining half of the threat would no longer exist.
Only by hitting the bottom can we seek a rebound.
Zhang Liang took away all the property that Liu Bang gave him before leaving, but Zhang Liang was not a person who liked vulgar things, and after these belongings were taken away by Zhang Liang, all of them were given to Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Bo, and at the same time asked Liu Bang to also send generous gifts to Xiang Bo, and then asked Xiang Bo to intercede with Xiang Yu and add a Hanzhong County for Liu Bang.
Ba County and Shu County are simply dead places.
If Liu Bang is named the king of Shu, he will not even have the possibility of rising.
If you can get another Hanzhong County on this basis, then there is a strategic depth of the Central Plains, Hanzhong County is south of Qinling, the mountains are undulating, the terrain is steep, and it is not rich in itself, but it can be connected with Bashu, which has a vital role for Liu Bang.
Liu Bang's credit is so huge, only sealing an uncivilized Bashu, itself is very unreasonable, now Zhang Liang took the initiative to leave, Liu Bang took the initiative to accept the sub-seal, and repeatedly retreated, at this time dredge Xiang Bo, help lobby Xiang Yu, and the possibility of getting Hanzhong County is very high.
"Mencius" cloud: Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. Pei Gong should remember that the connivance of Qinling can be moved, and his will cannot be moved, and the ovary is temporarily leaving, and it is only for Pei Gong to lay a better foundation. ”
"If you get Hanzhong, Pei Gong needs to burn the plank road to release the suspicion of King Fan Zeng!"
Chen Ping used a trick to get Zhang Liang away.
Zhang Liang followed the trend and gladly accepted the order.
In this way, Liu Bang's threat in front of Xiang Yu Fan Zeng was greatly reduced, and the foundation was laid for Liu Bang to fight for the land of Hanzhong.
The Hanzhong area is extremely difficult and steep, mainly relying on the mountain plank road to walk, Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang to retreat into Hanzhong, the first thing is to burn the plank road, this seems to be stupid, it is easy to burn the plank road, it is too difficult to repair the plank road, and it will only trap yourself in the poor Hanzhong Bashu, but it is precisely like this that can dispel doubts.
Liu Bang carefully put away the bag, stroked Xiahou Ying's cold cheeks, and tears welled up from his eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I will avenge you!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Liu Bang came to King Xiang's envoy.
He saluted respectfully, took the edict with both hands, and was willing to go to the land of Bashu.
