Chapter 381

Liu Bang formed an alliance with Ziying, entered Xianyang City at night, and caught Xin Sheng by surprise. In desperation, Xin Sheng had to cooperate with Liu Bang.

Although he also planned to form an alliance with Liu Bang at the beginning, it is different now.

Liu Bang, who entered Xianyang City, has an absolute advantage in the initiative, and if Xin Sheng wants to regain the advantage, he can only fight Liu Bang.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured, which is not in Xin Sheng's interest.

So he settled for the next best thing and handed over the initiative to Liu Bang.

Ever since, Liu Bang took control of Xianyang City as a matter of course.

But no matter how he calculated in advance, after Liu Bang took control of Xianyang City, he still looked around in a daze.

The magnificence of Xianyang is far beyond the comparison of ordinary cities, especially the huge Xianyang Palace. Once you enter it, you can't find the north.

Although there was a rectification of discipline at Hangu Pass, the soldiers were still attracted by young and beautiful noble girls and beautiful girls, and rape and robbery occurred from time to time.This caused panic throughout Xianyang, and the people fled one after another.

Although Liu Bang had been the head of the pavilion in Surabaya and had seen Emperor Shi Huang go on tour, he had never set foot in the imperial city.

Not only were the soldiers dazzled, but even he himself was dizzy.

On this day, just as Liu Bang signed an alliance with Xin Sheng, he took Fan Kui and others into the Xianyang palace without caring about rectifying the morals.

When they saw the majestic Xianyang Palace, they were all dumbfounded.

So I excitedly watched the various buildings, gardens, pools, and the place where the harem concubines lived in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect this palace to be so big. It feels bigger than our Pei County!" A general who rebelled against Liu Bangpei County sighed while watching the palace.

"How big is Pei County!" Fan Kui complained contemptuously: "This is the capital of the Qin State, how do you compare the capital of the country to a small county?"

"That's right, General Fan Kuai is right, how can Pei County compare with Xianyang!" Another general of Liu Bang echoed.

Seeing that everyone was chattering, Liu Bang on the side couldn't listen anymore, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay! Don't argue, we are here at the Xianyang Palace, what can we compare with Pei County!"

"Yes, yes, what your majesty said makes sense. We don't compare houses in Peixian County, but beauties. There are countless beauties here!" Fan Kui nodded and laughed.

"Hahaha--"

Hearing Fan Kuai's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Bang also smiled and waved his hands: "We haven't seen half of such a big palace, and Meggie can't count it, so I might as well live here tonight and count it!"

"Long live the king!"

All the soldiers immediately cheered when they heard this.

Xiao He next to him frowned slightly, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this move is a bit inappropriate!"

"Ok?"

Liu Bang was taken aback, and looked at Xiao He suspiciously: "What do you mean by Mr. Xiao?"

"Your Majesty, Ziying once made an agreement with you to treat the people of Qin kindly. You must not lose Qin's heart!"

"This"

Liu Bang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, but saw Fan Kui beside him with a dark face and said nothing, so he laughed and scolded: "You pig butcher, you can't realize your dream, and you are giving me a bad face?"

"Humph!"

Fan Kui snorted without anger, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xiao's words are reasonable. Your Majesty has an appointment with that Ziying. We will not be people who do not keep our promises. What's more, Your Majesty wants to rectify the discipline. We can't just Rectify others, but you are soaking in gentleness!"

Liu Bang laughed out loud when he heard the words: "Hahaha, pig butcher! Go! Go out and talk."

When Liu Bang returned to the shogunate, Cao Shen rushed over and reported to him the chaos in the army, especially the chaos of adultery and robbery.This made Liu Bang very dissatisfied, so he gathered his generals that night to discuss the aftermath.

"Everyone, we have been in the city for a few days, how do you feel?" Liu Bang sat in the main seat and said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhou Bo bowed his hands to Liu Bang, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, he took the lead in forming an alliance with Ziying, and we won the capital of Qin State without any effort. It's really wonderful!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the generals echoed.

Liu Bang smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "This king is not as wise as you. Once you entered the city, you ran faster than this king. If you fell in love with someone's beauty, you hurriedly brought it back to your camp, but you didn't think about it." My king."

"Hahaha--"

All the generals burst into laughter.

But Liu Bang raised his eyebrows again and said: "Laughs are laughs, troubles are troubles, but rules are rules. You seem to have forgotten the agreement before entering the customs?"

"This"

The laughter of the generals stopped abruptly, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"The king summoned you tonight to remind you, don't go too far in everything, otherwise the military law is ruthless!"

Although Liu Bang's voice was extremely flat, it was chilling in the ears of the generals.

He is no longer that ruffian Liu Ji, but Liu Bang with the appearance of an emperor.

Every word and deed of an emperor is majestic and cannot be violated by anyone.

Therefore, the generals immediately put away their joking mentality and sat upright.

Seeing the silence in the tent, Xiao He stood up to break the deadlock and said, "Your Majesty, although you have accepted Ziying's letter of surrender, Ziying is also the King of Qin after all, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"How else can we deal with it? Just kill him directly. Is it possible that the king will leave trouble forever?" Fan Kui asked back with a frown.

Zhou Bo echoed: "General Fan Kuai is right, if you don't kill Ziying, you won't destroy Qin!"

"The purpose of our anti-Qin is to destroy Qin. If Qin can't be destroyed, what's the point of anti-Qin?"

"Yes! Kill Ziying and destroy Tyranny!"

"Kill Ziying, destroy Qin Dynasty!"

Seeing the anger of the generals, Liu Bang frowned slightly, and immediately looked at Xiao He, raised his hand and said, "Okay! Be quiet, everyone!"

"."

"You say that if you don't kill Ziying, you don't destroy Qin, so let me ask you, is Zhao Kun in Yongcheng the heir of Emperor Qin?"

"This"

The generals were at a loss for words when they heard the words.

Because what Liu Bang said was the truth, Zhao Kun was more damned than Ziying.

But didn't Zhao Kun leave it to Xiang Yu to clean up?
Why do we care about him?

Could it be that he can still beat Xiang Yu?
Seemingly seeing what the generals were thinking, Liu Bang said again: "Zhao Kun and Xiang Yu are fighting in Yongcheng. No matter who wins or loses, we have to face one of them, so the top priority is to stabilize the existing territory!"

As he spoke, he paused, and then said: "Ziying is just a member of the royal family, not even the blood of Emperor Qin. He was pushed to the throne by Zhao Gao and Xin Sheng. Killing him has nothing to do with destroying Qin." Connect!"

"What's more, Ziying and I have an agreement long ago, and Ziying also sincerely surrenders, killing and surrendering is unjust!"

"Since the king doesn't want to kill Ziying, how should he be dealt with?" Zhou Bo asked cautiously.

"Ziying forms an alliance with me, and he is one of our own."

Liu Bang thought for a while and said, "Let him be an official!"

Hearing "belonging to officials", everyone suddenly realized.

The so-called subordinate officials do not refer to subordinate officials, but the meaning of entrusting officials to take care of them.

There are two reasons for this. One is that Ziying secretly formed an alliance with Liu Bang, which angered Xin Sheng, and Liu Bang was obliged to protect him.

The other is that Xiang Yu is the lord of the world in name, and he cannot deal with the princes of a country without authorization.

When Ziying's matter had just been finalized, Guan Ying, who had been missing all this time, suddenly broke in.

"I've been together for a long time, why are you late? If you can't tell the reason, you will be punished!"

Although Liu Bang and Guan Ying had a good personal relationship, seeing Guan Ying was late, he seemed a little displeased.

"Your Majesty, I will go to Li Si's mansion on the order of Mr. Xiao!" Guan Ying scratched his head and said.

"Ok?"

Liu Bang was taken aback, then looked at Xiao He, and joked: "Mr. Xiao has his eyes on the position of prime minister so early?"

"Your Majesty, I asked Guan Ying to go to Li Si's mansion to find out the population and household registration, money and food reserves, and various records. Now, although we have entered Xianyang, we have nothing. How can we govern the surrounding area?" Xiao He said solemnly.

"I see!"

Liu Bang suddenly nodded, and immediately bowed his hands to Xiao He: "Although Mr. Xiao is not the prime minister, he still has the mind of a prime minister. Liu Bang has been taught!"

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the generals, and continued: "I will not pursue the matter before, and we will still follow the old rules for the matter after that. There are three chapters in the agreement. First, all Qin surrendered officials are not allowed to kill without authorization;

Second, the whole army, like Xin Sheng's army, drove out of Xianyang and stationed on both sides of the city.

Third, abolish the Qin law and stabilize people's hearts. "

"promise!"

The generals made a promise and went to the military camps overnight to issue orders.

And Xiao He led a group of scribes to write the announcement, until the next morning, Xianyang Street was covered with announcements.

When the troops were withdrawing, Liu Bang took Xiao He again to meet with the elders of various ethnic groups in Xianyang City, and affirmed the righteousness and clarified the strategy of the three chapters of the contract.

"Fathers and elders, Liu Bang entered the Guanzhong to eliminate harm for the elders, not to do evil to the elders. I also hope that the elders will accept Liu Bang and the rebel army!" Liu Bang glanced around and said sincerely.

However, as soon as his words fell, a clan elder immediately retorted: "You have entered Xianyang and committed a lot of evil. How can you eliminate harm? The old man sees you as the biggest harm!"

"Yes, most of the women in my clan are persecuted by you, don't you want to massacre the city?" Another clan elder said in fear.

Hearing the word 'massacre', the expressions of the rest of the elders all changed.

Seeing this, Liu Bang was a little dumbfounded, but he still comforted him loudly: "Don't be afraid, elders! Our army is an army of justice, and we will never do the evil thing of massacring the city. There was indeed something wrong before, but it will not happen again in the future!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "This afternoon, our army will immediately march out of the city, and wait for the princes to arrive, then set the rules!"

Hearing that Liu Bangjun was going to leave, the clan elders calmed down a little, and carefully asked about the specific content of the third chapter of the contract.

When Liu Bang finished explaining the specific content of the three chapters of the contract, the attitude of the clan elders suddenly changed, and they praised Liu Bang for his benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, the reputation of Liu Bang's good governance continued to spread among all ethnic groups, until the people began to discuss whether to support Liu Bang as King of Qin.

Liu Bang naturally wanted to be the king of Qin, but Xin Sheng and Zhao Gao would not agree. Although they recognized Liu Bang as the king of Xianyang, they never recognized Liu Bang as the king of Qin.

After all, the significance of King Qin is far greater than that of other princes and kings.

Even Xiang Yu's title of Overlord can't compare to the title of King Qin.

Because the actual name of this empire is King Qin.

If you don't really control the empire, how can you call yourself King Qin?How can you become the king of Qin without the approval of the people in the world?
So Liu Bang, who couldn't be the king of Qin, started to do nothing, talking with Ziying every now and then about how to govern the world.

He felt that even if he could not be the lord of the world for the time being, it would be interesting to chat with Ziying who was once the lord of the world.

"Ziying met Pei Gong!"

Ziying saluted Liu Bang respectfully, and Liu Bang smiled happily.

However, Ziying didn't laugh, but asked softly, "I don't know why Peigong summoned Ziying today?"

"Nothing else, just chat casually!"

As Liu Bang said, he waved his hand at Ziying: "Sit down first, let's talk slowly."

"promise."

Ziying made a promise, and walked towards the table with a correct manner.

After Ziying sat down, Liu Bangyao raised his wine glass and asked with a smile: "Ziying, you have been the king of Qin anyway, so I asked you how to stabilize the world?"

"How the world is stable, Ziying has also thought about it, but Ziying is incompetent and doesn't know how to express it!" Ziying shook his head.

"So, you are also a mediocre person?"

"The mediocre people can choose to form an alliance with Peigong, Peigong should be grateful!"

Hearing this, Liu Bang's face changed, and he immediately asked in a deep voice, "Since you don't know how the world is stable, is there a way to protect the land of Xianyang?"

"Before Peigong entered Guanzhong, Ziying really thought about the strategy of sticking to Xianyang!"

"Oh? Come and listen!"

Ziying said sincerely: "If you want to stick to Xianyang, you must first seize Pinyang. Pinyang is the place where Lord Li An developed. Many new weapons have been produced there. Even if all the craftsmen have been withdrawn, the foundation is still there. As long as Peigong is willing to search , it’s not hard to find clues!”

"Once you have a new type of weapon, it should be easy to resist the invading enemy!"

"Since you know this method, why don't you implement it yourself?" Liu Bang asked with some doubts.

"It's not that Ziying is unwilling to implement it, but that he can't implement it. Qin Zheng has long lost the support of the people and cannot gather the power of the people. Even if Ziying has ideas, he can't do anything!"

"Listen to this, do you think I can carry it out?"

"Everyone knows that Duke Pei is good at governing the people. If Duke Pei is willing to implement this policy, he must be much better than Ziying!"

Liu Bang pondered for a while, then frowned and asked: "What kind of new weapon is it that makes you so confident? Could it be that the new weapon can defeat Xiang Yu?"

"Although Ziying has never seen those new weapons, Ziying has heard from an old friend that those new weapons can fly in the sky, explode underground, destroy thousands of troops, and destroy a city wall of a hundred meters!"

"hiss"

Hearing Ziying's words, Liu Bang couldn't help but gasp, thinking how could there be such a powerful weapon in the world?
However, before he could react, Ziying said sternly again: "The people of Pinyang have heard a lot about Xiang Yu's violence, but they have not heard of Zhao Kun's return. If Pei Gong wants to hide from the world, he might as well become the master of Pinyang. The people of Yang should work for you!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and bowed to Liu Bang, and then followed him out of the mansion.

When Liu Bang came to his senses, Ziying had disappeared.

At this time, Xiao He and Cao Shen were not in the army. Liu Bang thought over and over again, and felt that if it was true what Ziying said, he would be like a tiger with wings added.

After all, sooner or later, he will face Xiang Yu. If he doesn't have the corresponding strength, how can he compete with Xiang Yu for the world?

As for Zhao Kun, Liu Bang didn't think he could beat Xiang Yu at all.

So he must face Xiang Yu in the end, not Zhao Kun.

Liu Bang knew that Ziying actually had no good intentions. He encouraged himself to fight Xiang Yu just to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, but he has no soldiers and no power, so what can he do?

After thinking about it, Liu Bang finally decided to secretly send people to Pinyang to search for new weapons, and to oppose Xiang Yu in secret.

In this way, you can advance or retreat.

Although forming an alliance with Xin Sheng would offend Xiang Yu, it's not impossible to justify himself. Anyway, Xiang Yu lost Fan Zeng and fooled around casually.

After finalizing his mind, Liu Bang was very excited, and felt the joy of deciding on major strategies alone.

Soon, he summoned Cao Shen and asked Cao Shen to go to Pinyang to announce the three chapters of the agreement.
