?

After the wedding, Xiang Ye's situation was unfortunately told by Yingbu, not only did he not get up on time on the second day of the wedding, but even when he returned to the 'door' wine in Xiang Yu's camp two days later, he also looked like he had no "spirit" and looked like he was overindulgent.

Just two days after the 'Meng' Su and Xiang Qing's return to the 'door' wine was completed, Xiang Yu sent to Pengcheng to ask King Huai how to distribute the benefits of Guanzhong.

In his report to King Huai, Xiang Yu described in detail the process of Liu Bang's capture of Guanzhong and the distribution of the forces of various princes in Guanzhong, and asked King Huai how to distribute the benefits.

King Huai gave Xiang Yu only one reply, and he asked the people sent by Xiang Yu to Pengcheng to bring back a sentence: "Everything will be done according to the original agreement with the princes!" ”

This will is undoubtedly telling Xiang Yu that he had agreed to enter Guanzhong first as the king, and since Liu Bang was the first to attack Xianyang, it was logical that he should become the king of Guanzhong.

After Xiang Yu read the will that King Huai asked the messenger to bring back, he angrily threw the bamboo slip to the ground, stood up and scolded in front of Fan Zeng: "I asked people to go back and ask for instructions, it's just to give King Huai a step, why does he make his own opinion?" At the beginning, he asked me to follow Song Yi to lead the army north to rescue Zhao State, and let Liu Bang go all the way west to Guanzhong, which was obviously intentional favoritism. It's good now, he actually told me to do what he agreed to do, where did he want to put us heroes? Where do you put my Xiang family? ”

Fan Zeng sat aside, sighed and said to Xiang Yu: "King Huai is doing this just to cut the general's military power and hold the power in his hands. If it is done according to the original agreement, then we must not only recognize the status of King Huai, but also recognize the status of Zhao Xie, King of Qi, Tian Shi, King of Wei, Wei Bao, Han Cheng, King of Han, Han Guang, King of Yan, and Liu Bang, the new King of Qin, so that the world will be divided cleanly. The generals and the heroes had to return to their respective countries and continue to live under the control of the princes, facing nothing more than begging for rewards and being slaughtered by others. ”

"Hmph, it's good that King Huai thinks about it!" Xiang Yu sat down again and slapped the table in front of him, and the sturdy table was slapped in two by him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Fan Zeng: "Father, my Xiang Yu has already been shocked by his high achievements, if he returns to Pengcheng according to King Huai's agreement, don't say that he will be rewarded, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep this head!" Since he doesn't want to leave a way for our Xiang clan to live, then he doesn't have to do it anymore, I want to abolish the covenant of King Huai, and at the same time abolish him, King Huai, take away all his rights, and replace him. As for dividing the world, I will preside over it myself, what does the Father think? ”

Fan Zeng thought for a moment, then nodded and said to Xiang Yu: "It's just like this, others have opened the net, we have no reason to jump inside, if we fight to die and break the net, maybe there is a way to live!" ”

Seeing that Fan Zeng also supported the deposition of King Huai, Xiang Yu then asked, "From the perspective of Ya Father, how should I divide the seal?" ”

Fan Zeng wrung his brows, as if he was doing a strong ideological struggle, he thought for a long time before he said to Xiang Yu: "Other people's reward generals can do their own thing, but that Liu Bang, if it is not sealed, it is obviously not suitable, if it is sealed, it is indeed a big disaster, and he must be sealed in a remote and barren place." There is also Xiang Ye, he can be sealed or not, but because Liu Bang is here, and he is my righteous 'son-in-law' and your brother-in-law, the relationship between you and me is not close, and he himself has a feud with Liu Bang, and he also gave him a fief, which can contain Liu Bang in the future. In addition, there is Zhao Tuo, who sent someone to find you last time, he has already occupied South Vietnam, whether he is rewarded or not is just a name, it is better to be a favor and give him a throne! ”

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said to Fan Zeng: "Since the father said so, then do what the father wants!" ”

The two of them had decided, and Xiang Yu immediately ordered someone to inform the princes and the generals who led the army to rush to the theater pavilion a few days later to wait for the separation.

Xiang Yu arrived two days earlier than the princes, and during these two days, he commanded the soldiers to set up a high platform in the theater pavilion for the purpose of dividing the feuds.

The princes and generals who received Xiang Yu's notice also rushed to the opera pavilion one after another, waiting for Xiang Yu to announce the results of the division to them.

All the princes and generals arrived, and Xiang Yu, who was wearing armor, stood on the high platform, stared at the people under the stage and said: "The Qin State has been destroyed by us, and now what we have to consider is how to reward meritorious deeds after the destruction of Qin!" The main reason why I want you to come here today is to discuss with you about the reward. ”

When Xiang Yu said this, the princes and generals standing in the audience were stunned, and they all tilted their heads one by one, looking at Xiang Yu in military uniform with a sword in his hand, and couldn't understand what he wanted to say next.

Everyone in the audience looked at Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was also looking at them, seeing that everyone had a suspicious look on their faces, he didn't sell it to everyone, and said directly: "I guess you don't know yet, I sent someone to ask King Huai before, now that the Qin State has been destroyed, how should we divide the seal, and King Huai's reply to me turned out to be as agreed in the past!" In this way, those who have no merit on the battlefield have been crowned kings, and those who have been born and spilled blood on the battlefield have been left to dry out and have nothing to do! ”

As soon as he said this, some delicate people immediately understood that Xiang Yu wanted to abolish the covenant of King Huai and re-reward the heroes.

Xiang Yu saw that the eyes of many people in the audience who understood the meaning of his words flashed with expectation, and knew that the previous words had already played a role, so he continued: "When my uncle ordered people to find King Huai in the countryside, he was just a child who shepherded sheep for others. It was our Xiang clan who made him where he is today, he has no military exploits, no talent, and now sitting in the position of the king is vainly trying to divide the world, how can the unfair reward make everyone return to their hearts? At the beginning, the world was in chaos, and heroes from all walks of life rose up to temporarily support the descendants of the Six Kingdoms as kings, just to better punish the tyrannical Qin! In the past three years, the generals and my Xiang Ji have been wearing perseverance and fighting on the battlefield, eating and sleeping in the open for three years, and finally eliminated the tyrannical Qin, just to seal his wife and son, but now King Huai wants to do what he agreed at the beginning. Those of us who fought on the battlefield ended up getting nothing, generals, can you accept this result? ”

After listening to Xiang Yu's words, the generals in the audience immediately became 'commotion', but the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms withdrew from the crowd and hid away for fear of being angry.

"General, you say, what should we do!" Hearing that King Huai didn't want to divide the generals, Yingbu was already on fire in his heart, and shouted to Xiang Yu who was standing on the high platform: "We have been following the general to fight, and now we want to divide the heroes, so naturally we must obey the general!" ”

After Yingbu expressed his attitude, the generals from all walks of life also echoed and expressed their willingness to obey Xiang Yu's arrangement. In the minds of these people, loyalty to the country still failed to overcome the 'temptation' and 'confusion' brought to them by the feudal king and feudal marquis.

Xiang Yu saw that everyone's emotions were mobilized by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and then said to everyone: "I have already thought that since King Huai does not have the ability to command the world, it is better to respect him as the righteous emperor, in order to show respect for King Huai, I decided to ask King Huai to go back to the river and move the capital to Changsha, as for the specific division, I have carefully considered it, and this division will be sealed in accordance with the principle of respecting the descendants of the Six Kingdoms and rewarding meritorious ministers." The specific sub-envelope is as follows, if you have any dissatisfaction with the sub-envelope, you can raise it in person! ”

This time, Xiang Yu, including himself, sealed a total of twenty kings. When Xiang Ye heard Xiang Yu pronounce out his name and named him the "King of the Nine Plains", he let out a long breath and secretly sighed that history has finally undergone major changes from this moment, and the eighteen kings recorded in the annals have now become nineteen, and the variables of historical development will gradually detach from his cognition from this moment.

What surprised Xiang Ye even more was that Zhao Tuo was also crowned king by Xiang Yu, and Zhao Tuo's throne was sealed a few years earlier than recorded in history, but it was these few years that Xiang Ye won the medical 'medicine' guarantee for building a strong army in the future.

Jiuyuan was a border county of the Qin Dynasty, it was close to the Xiongnu, and was an important battlefield for the great war between the Qin Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Now Xiang Ye is going to go there to the south to call Lonely, in such a complex area, facing the surrounding powerful new feudal princes and the re-emerging Xiongnu in the north, Xiang Ye has a little more melancholy in his heart.

Following Xiang Yu to fight against the Qin army, he at least knew the outcome of the battle. But when it came to Jiuyuan, where there was no record of the king in history, how he should do it, he was very 'confused'. How to go about the road in the future is no longer something he can grasp.

Compared with Xiang Ye's mixed blessings, Liu Bang is the most annoyed by this separation. Originally, he could have sat in Guanzhong, and then used Guanzhong as a base to 'swing' the whole world. But after Xiang Yu's toss, his king of Guanzhong naturally couldn't do it, and it was a great luxury to be able to save his 'life' to go to Bashu and Hanzhong to be king.

Although he was unwilling, the generals under the tent were also dissatisfied with the separation. But Liu Bang didn't dare to turn his face with Xiang Yu immediately, and after Zhang Liang designed to go to Hanzhong from Xiang Yu's hands, he had to agree to this separation.

After sealing the nineteen kings, Xiang Yu gave himself the most and the most generous reward. He proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, with Pengcheng as the capital, and almost all the land of the old Chu was divided into the territory of the Western Chu State, and he also had the right to control the kings, as if he was the king of kings.

Xiang Yu was very satisfied with this separation, but he didn't know that it was precisely because of this separation, in the near future, the world would fall back into turmoil.

In addition to Liu Bang, there were two other people who caused this turmoil, two people who he deliberately did not reward. One of these two people is Tian Rong of Qi State, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so naturally he will not admit that the opera pavilion is divided; The other is Chen Yu, who left the rebel army angrily because of the estrangement with Zhang Er, although Xiang Yu sealed three counties for him as food, but after all, he couldn't talk about the same day as the king, and he was also very dissatisfied with this separation. ~
