Chapter 28: Wu Rui's Marriage
In the past few days, Xiang Yu has always been sketching a plan to seal the king, and decided to return to Pengcheng one day, in Xiang Yu's view, the position is extremely peak, and returning to the hometown is what a manly man does.
And Wu Rui will also be the last move arranged by Xiang Yu, as long as Wu Rui is stabilized and the land of Jiangdong is completely under Xiang Zhuang's command, Xiang Yu can be crowned king with peace of mind and return as soon as possible.
At this time, the relatives had already gone to invite Wu Rui, and Fan Zeng would also come together, at this time there was only Xiang Yu in the tent, he sat alone at the table, holding a wine glass in his hand, and drank quietly,
For all coalition forces, the matter of sealing the king is no longer a secret, everyone has tacitly understood who can get the greatest benefit in the king, this is the focus of everyone's attention, and Xiang Yu is the dictator of the king this time, and even King Huai is unable to participate, so many people will secretly meet with Xiang Yu, hoping to distribute the greatest benefits.
Those who follow Xiang Yu's westward march will also be Xiang Yu's key training objects, and they will get the greatest benefits.
Xiang Yu had just finished drinking the wine in the cup, and there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the tent, and soon, someone announced outside the tent: "General, Mr. Fan and General Wu are here,"
"Let them in,"
The curtain was lifted, Wu Rui and Fan Zeng walked in slowly, and just entered the camp, the two of them gave Xiang Yu a salute: "I've seen the general,"
"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, come, sit down and talk," Xiang Yu pointed to the side and smiled, the two nodded, and they had already walked up with him, spread a soft mat next to the carbon pot, and the two of them took their seats, at this time, Xiang Yu sighed lightly: "I wanted to talk to General Wu for a long time, but I never had a chance, and when I was free today, I ordered someone to invite me, General Wu won't blame me,"
"How could it be," Wu Rui laughed back, he thought that Xiang Yu would question himself for taking the military power of Xiang Zhuang, but he didn't expect that Xiang Yu didn't mention it, since Xiang Yu didn't mention it, Wu Rui couldn't say anything, at this time, two soldiers had walked into the tent, brought tea, and put it in front of everyone, Wu Rui picked up one of the cups, blew a few times, and tasted it slowly,
This kind of topic, generally whoever speaks first, who will become passive, at this time Xiang Yu has also picked up the teacup, slowly drinking, after a short thought, Xiang Yu quietly gave Fan Zeng a look, Fan Zeng understood, he laughed dryly, looked at Wu Rui, and asked with a smile: "During the Northern Expedition, I heard that General Wu was suffering from a serious illness in Changsha, and this time I saw General Wu, and his complexion was so good, it can be seen that General Wu is a blessed man......"
"Thank you Mr. Fan for your kind words," Wu Rui smiled back, and on the side, Xiang Yu interjected: "This time the Qin State was destroyed proudly, thanks to the great help of the righteous armies from all walks of life, in addition, if it weren't for General Wu's 40,000 Poyang Army, Zhuang'er would have defeated the Qin army, I'm here, I want to thank General Wu for Zhuang'er,"
Seeing that Xiang Yu deliberately brought the topic back, Wu Rui knew in his heart that Xiang Yu would have something to say, sure enough, after Xiang Yu put down the teacup, he continued: "This time, all the soldiers and horses are fighting hard, and the Qin army can be wiped out, I think that everyone should get their own fiefdoms, it is fair, I have drawn up a list of feudal kings and the fiefs under their jurisdiction, among them, there are also General Wu, I don't know if General Wu is willing,"
Xiang Yu stared at Wu Rui with deep eyes, Wu Rui pretended to be surprised, although Xiang Yu's actions did not exceed his expectations, but Xiang Yu did not shy away from saying it, which still surprised Wu Rui,
There was a brief silence in the tent, and Fan Zeng on the side interjected: "However, General Wu needs to understand that in all the list of feudal kings, the princes of Wulu will guard different places, and many people will leave their original fiefdoms, which is ......."
Wu Rui nodded, he understood what Fan Zeng meant, so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Fan might as well say it directly, where are you going to move me?"
"Hengshan County,"
"Hengshan County, isn't it in the jurisdiction of Xiang Zhuangxian's nephew," Wu Rui was slightly surprised, and Fan Zeng opened his mouth to explain: "That's true, since the Xiang family raised troops in Jiangdong, General Wu has been the biggest obstacle to the Xiang family, and now that the Qin State has been destroyed, Jiangdong needs to maintain stability, and Hengshan County can't easily appoint others, so we decided that we want General Wu to guard Hengshan County, I don't know if the general is willing or not,"
"That'...... How to deal with Poyang,"
"I will let Zhuang'er take over Lushan County, Yan County and Huiji County, and reach an alliance with Jiangbei Chudi, so that our Chu Land will be more stable, General Wu understands,"
"This ......" Wu Rui became hesitant, and on the side, Xiang Yu sighed: "There is another person who will take over Jiujiang County, does General Wu want to know who it is?"
Wu Rui was aroused by Xiang Yu's words, he couldn't help but look intently, quietly waiting for Xiang Yu's words behind, but Xiang Yu picked up the teacup again, as if drinking tea, but his eyes looked at Wu Rui from time to time, for a long time, Xiang Yu said again: "I am ready to let Duo Bu take over Jiujiang, so that your Wu family can stabilize the foundation of Hengshan County and Jiujiang County, and it will also be a solid backing for my Western Chu in the future,"
Xiang Yu said this, no longer spoke, although Wu Rui was quietly tasting tea, but in his heart, he was thinking quickly, Xiang Yu placed himself and Huang Bu in Hengshan County and Jiujiang County, didn't this completely block Jiangbei and Jiangnan, what is the deep meaning?
Wu Rui really couldn't guess Xiang Yu's true thoughts, but he didn't come here today for these, these teams Wu Rui is not the point, the point is whether he can get married,
"What the general said, although I don't understand it very well, but there is one thing that I need the general's help to come forward," Wu Rui suddenly moved the topic away,
Xiang Yu didn't expect that Wu Rui would suddenly change the topic, he couldn't help but look at Wu Rui in surprise, and asked with a smile: "General Wu said come and listen,"
"Actually, this matter can be big or small, but for our Wu family, it is a matter of reputation, so I have to trouble the general," Wu Rui smiled and waved his hand, and said: "When your uncle Xiang Liang was reincarnated, he once mentioned to me a family matter, and he would let Xiang You, the son of Xiang Bo, marry my third daughter, but the war between Qin and Chu has always continued, and this matter has gradually dragged on, but now that the Qin State has been destroyed, Uncle Xiang Ling has to repent of his marriage, and even married Liu Bang, which is a great shame for our Wu family, If the general can't solve this matter for me, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to talk about other things."
Wu Rui suddenly said again, angry, and Xiang Yu also knocked on the table with all his might: "Bang,"
After a muffled sound, Xiang Yu said angrily: "Come on, go and Uncle Xiang will find it for me,"
Xiang Yu's anger made Fan Zeng secretly complain beside him, is Wu Rui making trouble, but Fan Zeng has vaguely guessed that Wu Rui suddenly mentioned this matter, it is definitely not as simple as Xiang Bo's repentance of marriage, otherwise, how can he be afraid of the prestige of the Xiang family at this time with such a thunderous means as Wu Rui recovering Xiang Zhuang's military power?
Outside the tent, a personal attendant sang a promise, but Fan Zeng hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Wait,"
"Father, why is this," Xiang Yu was slightly surprised, Fan Zeng looked at Wu Rui, and asked with a smile: "This matter is already like this, it is inconvenient to make a noise, General Wu has other solutions,"
"How to solve the matter of regretting marriage," Wu Rui asked rhetorically,
"We are willing to listen to it, as long as General Wu proposes it,"
"Okay, I want to marry Xiang Zhuang, I am willing to marry my second daughter Wu Fang to him as my wife, and the rest are easy to discuss,"
As soon as Wu Rui's words came out, not only Fan Zeng, but Xiang Yu was also stunned, no one would have thought that Wu Rui spared such a big circle, and in the end, he came to Xiang Zhuang.
This made Xiang Yu feel that he had a feeling of being ridiculed, he wanted to scold Wu Rui, but Fan Zeng saw the mystery in it, and he immediately interjected: "This matter can be discussed, but General Wu can be sincere,"
"Sincerity," Wu Rui thought for a moment, he understood what Fan Zeng's sincerity meant, so he smiled and said: "I have 30,000 elite soldiers under my command, and I have always been under the command of General Xiang Zhuang, if the two families can get married, I think this army will be the greatest help to General Xiang Zhuang,"
"In that case, I don't think the general will refuse," Fan Zeng said with a smile, Xiang Yu didn't understand Fan Zeng's meaning at first, but soon, he understood, so he had to nod and smile: "Okay, I'll make the decision for Zhuang'er in this matter, and agree to your request,"
