Chapter 23: Fan Zeng's visit
Xiao Gongjiao's visit, although it was already expected by the heart, he was still a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Xiang Yu sent someone to come at this time, did he want to force himself to abdicate?
But thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yu should not have this kind of courage at this time, and Xiao Gongjiao's visit must have a deep meaning.
Rim Xin let out a long sigh, he looked at Chen Ying on the side, Chen Ying was also looking at Rim Xin at this time, the two looked at each other, Chen Ying nodded slightly, and Rim Xin ordered loudly: "Let him come in!" ”
The Piren sang the promise and left, and soon, Xiao Gongjiao respectfully followed behind the Viren and walked into the side hall, just entered the hall, Xiao Gongjiao hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The last general Xiao Gongjiao, see the king." ”
"Xiao Qing doesn't have to be polite." He raised his hand upwards and said, "Say, Xiang Yu asked you to come, what's the matter?" ”
"The last general will bring the general's handbook and ask the king to take a look." Xiao Gongjiao stepped forward and handed a bamboo slip to the neighbor, after the neighbor took it, he presented his hands to the heart, the heart probably looked at it, his face was already flushed, and the anger made him get carried away, the heart threw the bamboo slip to the ground, and said hatefully: "Go back and tell Xiang Yu, the widow is not allowed!" ”
"But...... Your Majesty, the General's parting instructions make you think twice. ”
"Get out!" Pointing out of the hall, he could no longer contain the anger in his heart, and shouted, "Get out!" ”
Xiao Gongjiao was scolded by Gong Xin, he was extremely frightened in his heart, hurriedly gave a bow to Gong Xin, fled outside the hall, and when Xiao Gongjiao escaped without a trace, Chen Ying got up, walked over to pick up the bamboo slips, and looked at them roughly, Xiang Yu asked Gong Xin to cancel Liu Bang's decision to cancel the king of Guanzhong in the bamboo slips.
This is indeed a bit excessive, back then, the heart of the heart promised, the first to enter the Guanzhong, but Wang Guanzhong, this is obvious to all, does Xiang Yu want to make the heart of the heart openly repent?
Besides, Xiang Yu has taken the identity of a general and asks for a heart, this is the following offense, he doesn't know, is this going to be killed?
But then again, Xiang Yu has an army of 100,000 and a coalition of 100,000 to complement him, what does Liu Bang have? With only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can he compete with Xiang Yu? Besides, there are still 50,000 troops under Xiang Zhuang's command, if they fight in Guanzhong, Liu Bang will be defeated!
Thinking of this, Chen Ying walked to the side of the heart and sighed: "King, should you think about this matter?" ”
"What to consider? No one should persuade the widow in this matter, the widow will not allow Xiang Yu to do anything wrong! With great hatred, he snorted coldly and walked out of the hall.
Looking at the back of the departing Xinxin, Chen Ying shook his head helplessly, offending Xiang Yu, I am afraid that the heart will never have a peaceful day!
……
The fire of Afang Palace is still burning, along with the fire of Afang Palace, Xianyang Palace was smashed by the Chu army and ignited, at this time, there was a great chaos in Xianyang City, the people were displaced, and many people were in panic.
Xiang Yu also accompanied the fire of Xianyang Palace, led the army to evacuate Xianyang, and built a camp outside the city, at this time in the camp, Xiang Yu held the military book, there was a paragraph, there was no section to look at, on the side, Long Langran smiled and said: "General, Xianyang Palace is about to burn out, where is our next target?" ”
Xiang Yu was interrupted by the dragon and pondered, he looked at the map placed on the side, looked at the crowd, and ordered: "Burn Ganquan Palace!" ”
"Whoa." Long He got up and was about to leave, but on the side, Fan Zeng's hoarse voice sounded: "Slow! ”
Long He paused, he looked back at Fan Zeng, Fan Zeng looked at everyone, and said: "Guanzhong is a place of four stops, surrounded by mountains, and there are major checkpoints to resist foreign enemies, it is the land of Longxing, the general unscrupulously destroyed Xianyang, how can he become a place in Guanzhong one day?" ”
"Rank in Guanzhong?" Xiang Yu asked rhetorically, and couldn't help laughing: "When did I say that I wanted to settle here?" ”
"If you don't stay here, what does the general want?"
"I want to go back to Chu, I want to rejuvenate Chu!" Xiang Yu replied very decisively, Fan Zeng couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said hurriedly: "If you don't take it, you will regret it!" ”
"Father, I don't need to say it, I've made up my mind!" Xiang Yu didn't have the patience to discuss this issue any further, he looked at Long Ji, and ordered, "Go burn Ganquan Palace." ”
Long He sang a promise, and was about to turn around, but asked again: "But, what to do with the women in Ganquan Palace?" ”
"Take them all away, return to the Chu State, I will reward the soldiers!"
"Well, I'll do it." The dragon arched his hand and hurried away.
……
After Xiang Zhuang led the army to leave the Bahe River, he went north along the Bahe River and stationed a large camp west of Xianyang, at this time, more than half a month has passed, during this time, no one from Xiang Zhuang went to visit, including the ** generals and Han Wangcheng, Wu Rui, Zhao Xie and others who hurried to Xianyang.
It can be said that Xiang Zhuang has seen through Xiang Yu's next step, at this time, any futile rush is useless, and only watching the changes is the work of a wise man.
And these days have nothing to do, Xiang Zhuang will play chess with Kong Ji, in later generations, there is a kind of chess, is to imitate the design of Chu and Han Zhengxiong, Xiang Zhuang ordered people to make chess pieces, teach Kong Ji and Li You, Zhou Sheng and others, from time to time and everyone to learn, today is the same, Xiang Zhuang found Kong Ji, the two of them are very happy.
Kong Kun and others, who were supposed to arrive in Xianyang half a month ago, were delayed on the way because of a sudden heavy snowfall in Guanzhong, and at this time, they were trapped in the commercial land and could not move forward, but this heavy snow did not prevent Xiang Yu from burning the palace and destroying Xianyang.
History is still moving step by step, nothing has changed, but the persuasion of the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain still echoes in Xiang Zhuang's ears every day, where to go, it is indeed a difficult thing to choose, but Xiang Zhuang does not regret it, and he will never regret the path he chose.
Just when Xiang Zhuang was distracted, Kong Ji's urging voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hurry, it's your turn!" ”
Interrupted by Kong Ji's contemplation, Xiang Zhuang realized that he was distracted again, and unconsciously, he remembered the words of the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain, although these words often echoed in his ears, but Xiang Zhuang would not think deeply about them.
Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Xiang Zhuang picked up a car, pushed it forward, and said with a smile: "General." ”
"Alas...... Lost again. Kong Ji smiled a little helplessly, since learning chess, Kong Ji gradually fell in love with this thing, but he rarely won Xiang Zhuang, and lost again at this time, Kong Ji picked up the chess pieces in frustration, ready to play another game, but outside the tent, a personal announcement sounded: "General, Mr. Fan is here, ask to see him outside the camp!" ”
"Who?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe his ears, Fan Zeng braved the heavy snow, what was he doing in his own camp? But outside, the relatives replied affirmatively: "It is indeed Mr. Fan." ”
"Well, go and gather troops to meet Mr. Fan." Xiang Zhuang put down the chess pieces in his hand and hurriedly got up, but he felt that it was inappropriate, turned around and looked at Kong Ji, and said with a smile: "You go with me, I will greet you personally." ”
After a stick of incense, the rumbling drums sounded in the Chu camp, after a burst of war horses galloping, Xiang Zhuang and others rode their horses to the front of the camp, at this time, Fan Zeng had already entered the camp, marching to the Chinese army, Xiang Zhuang happened to see Fan Zeng in a hurry on the horse, he hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Mr. Fan is a rare guest." ”
"Hehe, you and I are both Chu Jun, and I am a strategist under your brother, how can I be a rare guest?" Fan Zeng laughed heartily and said, "General Xiang Zhuang is too polite. ”
The two of them each raised their heads and laughed, at this time, Xiang Zhuang had come to Fan Zeng's side, he dismounted, handed the reins to the reintent on the side, pointed in the direction of the Chinese army, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, please." ”
When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Wuxian hurriedly brought two cups of tea and put them in front of the two, and after that, Cao Wushu came to Xiang Zhuang's back, holding the hilt of his sword, and stood straight.
Fan Zeng was not in a hurry to speak at this time, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, the heat surged, and the chill on his body dissipated a little, at this time, Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Zhuang and sighed: "Xianyang City has been shrouded in flames, the people have been displaced, and it is unbearable to see, if it goes on like this for a long time, the people in Guanzhong will be unstable and jealous of the Chu people, is it, after a few years, when they turn over, they will not ask for the Chu people again?" ”
Fan Zeng said excitedly, his voice trembled slightly, and then he said: "I also tried to dissuade the general, let him stay in Guanzhong, don't destroy the palace, but he can protect the Chu army for ten thousand years, but he ......"
"Oh? Staying in Guanzhong? I'd love to hear what Mr. Fan has to say. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be interested.
Fan Zeng glanced at Cao Wuxian behind Xiang Zhuang and Kong Ji on the side, Xiang Zhuang understood, put down the teacup in his hand, turned around and ordered: "You all go down, I want to have a good chat with Mr. Fan." ”
At this time, Fan Zeng also put down the teacup, he first sighed, and then said: "Guanzhong is the land of four stops, and there is Hangu Pass, Wuguan as a barrier, once the Kwantung rebellion, the Chu army can go out of the pass to quell the rebellion, even if the Chu army is unable to quell the rebellion, it can also rely on natural danger to stick to one side and resist foreign enemies. ”
After hearing this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing, what Fan Zeng said, is also what Xiang Zhuang wants most, staying in Guanzhong is indeed a good place, but according to history, Xiang Yu will not stay in Guanzhong, the so-called return to his hometown, how could Xiang Yu not return to Pengcheng?
But there are some words, Xiang Zhuang is inconvenient to say in detail, he looked at Fan Zeng, then looked at the sword in his hand, and sighed: "If my brother really wants to return to the army in Chudi, it is equivalent to giving the treasure land to Liu Bang, this is self-destructive future, if it were me, I would migrate Liu Bang into Shu, deep in the mountains, Liu Bang will do nothing." ”
"General Xiang Zhuang is really strategic, this is also my opinion, it is estimated that the general will consider this part." Fan Zeng smiled and got up, shook the dust on his knees, and said with a smile: "The hour is not early, I will leave it at that." ”
"Wait." Xiang Zhuang called out to Fan Zeng, he thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Before Mr. Fan left, I had something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Why should General Xiang Zhuang be so polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If my brother really wants to return to Pengcheng, the world is so big, it is inevitable that all countries will not flock to rebel, I think my brother must have a strong helper to resist pressure from all sides, and that person must be me!"
"That's for sure." Fan Zeng smiled, and Xiang Zhuang said again: "Then, please ask Mr. Fan to help me a lot in front of my brother, I want to ...... The land of Koto. ”
Xiang Zhuang paused, his eyes stared at Fan Zeng tightly, for the land of Jiangdong, Xiang Zhuang is bound to win, and Fan Zeng is also a smart person, he knows very well what it means if Xiang Zhuang stabilizes Jiangdong, besides, although the Qin State is destroyed, but the recovery of the Six Kingdoms, what the future road will be, no one can predict, only Xiang Yu has a strong helper, in order to stabilize his own strength.
"I will definitely help General Xiang Zhuang, please rest assured." Fan Zeng arched his hand again.
