Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 321 How can you cherish your life when doing great things? (twenty four)

Xiang Liang thought for a moment.

I also agree with this approach.

The forces in the Chu Territory are mixed, and most of the nobles are from the royal family. Therefore, they are dissatisfied with each other and have frequent internal strife. If we can take this opportunity to completely annihilate other nobles, it will not only avoid future civil strife, but also bring rare unity to the Chu Territory. stand up.

Otherwise, when chaos really breaks out in the world, these nobles in Chu will be afraid that their bad habits will return and they will restrain each other.

He has been dissatisfied with the constraints imposed by these nobles for a long time.

If these nobles hadn't secretly held back the Chu State, they might not have really lost.

Thinking of this.

Xiang Liang was completely determined.

He bowed respectfully to Fan Zeng and said in a deep voice, "Sir, please make plans for my Xiang family."

Fan Zeng smiled and said, "How dare you disobey."

heard.

Xiang Liang looked overjoyed.

There was a burst of laughter and laughter beside the stream.

Even Xiang Yu, who was deeply depressed in the front, smiled at this moment.

He has long been dissatisfied with the Song family.

If he can really annex other nobles as this gentleman said, then his Xiang family's strength will undoubtedly increase greatly, and he will have more choices in the future. More importantly, he will no longer have to look at the faces of other nobles.

Fan Zeng also looked happy.

He was actually worried that Xiang Liang would refuse.

Because Xiang Liang is a very well-behaved person and rarely does too many impulsive things.

Fan Zeng was delighted to be able to agree this time.

Xiang Liang said: "I wonder how Xiang should act?"

Xiang Liang did not dare to be careless.

This kind of thing must be considered carefully. If it is known to the outside world, or is understood by the outside world, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble and criticism. Although Xiang is very powerful, he may not be able to withstand the world's public opinion, so he is also extra cautious. .

Fan Zeng lowered his head, looked at the bamboo pole under him, and said softly: "The first thing Xiang needs to do now is to contact local officials."

heard.

Xiang Yu's face darkened.

It was clearly these people who had assassinated them. Does it make sense to ask them to contact these officials now?

Xiang Liang also frowned.

But he was not as cynical as Xiang Yu, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Fan, I don't know why you said this. Brother Fan also said before that if something happens to the nobles this time, these officials may have some unclear relationship. If you go down and contact me, wouldn’t you be throwing yourself into a trap?”

Fan Zeng chuckled and said disapprovingly: "How can there be so much right and wrong in this world?"

“In the end, it’s all about profit.”

“As long as our interests are aligned, we can sit down and cooperate.”

"Without the help of local officials, can Xiang's control over the local area really be foolproof? If we didn't discuss it with local officials in advance, and a noble suddenly came when Xiang was secretly planning, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket fight? All in vain?"

"The gains outweigh the losses."

"I know you still have grudges against local officials."

"But one moment and another."

"In the face of the balance of interests, hatred can actually be let go."

"What's more, the Xiang family was not really affected too much this time. It is the other nobles who really hate these officials. The Xiang family is just a little embarrassed."

"But that's about it."

"The First Emperor's ships have now departed."

"Kuiji County has gradually become quieter. After these officials were impulsive, they must have been panicked and worried about the revenge of the nobles of the six countries. If the Xiang family took the initiative to contact them at this time, how could this not win their favor?"

"And if the Xiang family wants to strengthen itself, it is destined to deal with the government."

"Then why bother yourself?"

"There are not many nobles left in Kuaiji County now, and the Xiang family is unable to save the captured nobles. Even if the Xiang family wants to save them, I will not suggest doing so. After all, being strong is the foundation. What the Xiang family needs to do is Seize this rare opportunity to gather the scattered nobles before other nobles react, so as to prevent these people from falling into the hands of other nobles."

Xiang Liang was still hesitant.

Fan Zeng continued to persuade: "Currently, Kuaiji County is almost an empty shell for the nobles of the six countries. This is a rare blank period. There are no other nobles to interfere, and there are no other forces to restrict the Xiang family. If the Xiang family cannot Seize this opportunity and wait until the other nobles return to Kuaiji. It will not be so easy for the Xiang family to make plans again."

"Brother Xiang knows these nobles in Chu."

"Be good at internal strife, but timid in foreign wars."

"Cruel on the inside and tolerant on the outside."

"In the past, the Chu State made several reforms, but each time they were not implemented, they were blocked by these nobles, which eventually led to the decline of the Chu State step by step. Eventually, it became difficult to recover and was destroyed by Qin. How could the Xiang family make the same mistake again?"

heard.

Xiang Liang finally made up his mind.

These nobles cannot affect the great cause of Chu's restoration of the country.

He cupped his hands and said, "I will obey Brother Fan's words."

Fan Zeng nodded, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "As for Brother Xiang's worries, in my opinion, they are not important at all. In fact, you and I can see that it was these officials who betrayed this matter. After all, it was not revealed openly, and the Qin court did not use this caliber to attack the nobles of the six countries, but used the excuse of "the emperor's spirit in the southeast" to dig mountains and ridges in the Chu land."

"So I'll just follow Qin Ting's wishes."

"The nobles of Chu suffered this disaster because of the backlash of rumors."

"Ms. Xiang pretended not to know about this matter. She didn't take the initiative to bring it up or expose it. She turned a blind eye to each other and gave both parties a step down, so that there could be a follow-up."

"at the same time."

"Isn't it because these people are plotting against you because they have grudges in their hearts?"

"Then lower your stance and give them face."

"As long as they are willing to reconcile with the Xiang family, not take the initiative to expose you, and at the same time are willing to open the door for the Xiang family, then the Xiang family's goal will be achieved. As for the lack of honor, compared with the expansion of their own strength, this is nothing. What?"

"It's just a matter of lying low and biding your time."

"of course."

"Xiang can't just tolerate it."

"If these officials are really determined to follow Qin Ting, then the Xiang family will not be so stubborn anymore and directly threaten them. After all, there is conclusive evidence that you have private contacts with these officials."

"The nobles of the Six Nations one day may not be the same officials tomorrow."

"They plotted against the nobles of the six countries before. You, the Xiang family, can also do the same to plot against these officials."

"As long as these officials don't want to die, they will definitely choose to give in."

"They don't want to fish."

"I don't even dare to fight you to the death."

"And you have already taken such a low profile, and these people are still insisting on it, so there is no need to lose face."

Fan Zeng's eyes showed a cold light.

Xiang Liang also had a ruthless look in his eyes.

He was willing to lower his profile in order to strengthen the Xiang family. If these officials were unwilling to let go, how could he be so coquettish anymore? These people were unwilling to compromise or give in, and he would not let these people have an easy time.

Although his Xiang family is not as powerful as before, he is still not someone that a mere county official can mess with.

At this time.

Fan Zeng continued: "When the officials relent, Xiang can start gathering the scattered nobles."

"Now these nobles are probably frightened by Qin Tinghao's loud force, especially the many nobles who were unable to retreat and suffered heavy casualties. When they heard that the Xiang family was willing to take him in, they would definitely come to surrender, and the Xiang family would naturally be able to help others Before the nobles react, take these remaining nobles as their own."

"Then step by step, he will win over his vassals." "By the time other nobles react, it will be too late."

heard.

Xiang Liang nodded secretly.

Lower your posture, just to hold your head high for a better future.

He still fully agreed with Fan Zeng's suggestion.

aside.

Xiang Yu disagreed.

I think this is unnecessary.

Now that it is known that these officials have double-minded intentions, how can they be used again?
Infidelity once, not a hundred times.

Why don't you listen to such a simple truth?
Even if you want to use it, you should not lower your attitude, but use a more aggressive attitude to question and force them to submit.

This is the style of nobility.

How can the current conspiracy between uncle and Fan Zeng be aristocratic?
It's just like a philistine scheme.

He was very disdainful.

Xiang Yu said coldly: "Uncle, you are putting these officials too far away. When the Chu Kingdom was still there, these people had no qualifications to sit with my Xiang family. Letting them help now is enough to give them face. As for the other nobles, why should they take it to heart? The strength of the Song and Tang families has been greatly damaged, and the situation is precarious. If I, the Xiang family, can act generously, how can they not dare to disobey?"

"If you really dare to question it, I will convince you."

"If other nobles have objections, just kill them directly. Why talk nonsense?"

"This little thing is not worth the trouble."

heard.

Xiang Liang's face turned dark on the spot.

He now regretted bringing Xiang Yu here.

Too emotional.

When thinking about things, I always only take into account my own emotions and don't care about anything else. How can I take on a big responsibility with such a mind?

Xiang Liang said angrily: "What do you know, you idiot? You think the world depends on fighting and killing. Our nobles of the Chu State are indeed loose and easy to restrain each other. However, after all, they are all nobles of the Chu State. Going back hundreds of years, most of them have Coming from the same family, it’s your turn to make noise here?”

"You know how to show off your courage."

"A man who can bend and stretch can be a husband."

"As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, what does it matter if you lower your body?"

"Did the King of Yue ever show any dissatisfaction when he was so humiliated? You are so young, and all you can think about is fighting and killing. You have no knowledge or skills. Do you really think that you can restore the Chu Kingdom by killing? Do you? If one person is capable of killing, can he kill all the people of Qin? Can he destroy the Qin State?"

"The ultimate destruction of Qin will depend on the joint efforts of the six countries."

"As long as you show off your strength, you will only be dissatisfied by all parties and eventually make everyone betray you. How can you be so ignorant?"

"Even the Qin court can be said to be arrogant, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, it still had to rely on other scholars to manage the world on its behalf. How can I, the Xiang family, be able to overthrow the violent Qin by myself?"

"Just because of your actions?!"

Xiang Liang stared angrily.

He was also completely angered by Xiang Yu.

His whole body was shaking, and he almost pointed at Xiang Yu's nose and cursed.

aside.

Fan Zeng frowned secretly.

He also noticed that Xiang Liang, his nephew, was too sharp.

Too rigid and easy to break.

This man is too arrogant and arrogant, and does not take others into consideration. He is so arrogant and has no room for disgrace in his eyes. He may suffer a big loss due to his temperament in the future. However, Xiang Yu is still young now. After acquired persuasion, there is still room for correction. Chance.

Therefore, Fan Zeng didn't pay too much attention.

Xiang Yu's eyes were also full of anger.

But he didn't dare to contradict Xiang Liang, so he could only stand aside in silence, tilting his head and ignoring him.

see.

Xiang Liang snorted coldly.

He could only feel the anger rising in his heart.

However, because Fan Zeng was on the side, he did not continue to curse, but directly chose to ignore Xiang Yu, and continued to discuss with Fan Zeng the details of the gathering, and how to make them his vassals without knowing it, and how to completely It became the private property of the Xiang family.

The two of them worked together very intensely.

After more than half an hour, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng finally shut up.

There was a satisfied smile in his eyes.

Xiang Liang said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Fan for giving me the guidance this time, otherwise I would have been groping in the chaos for a long time, not knowing how to exert my strength, and I might have wasted this great opportunity. "

Fan Zeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiang, you're welcome."

"This time the land of Wuyue suffered such a catastrophe, many people were affected, and the Xiang family was not the only one. However, the Xiang family was the only one who escaped unharmed. This is enough to prove that the Xiang family has God's will. Even if I don't say anything, the Xiang family will It will definitely be discovered, I just said it in advance.”

Fan Zeng does not claim credit.

However, he also kindly reminded: "Qin Ting is making many moves now. Xiang must always be vigilant. If Qin Ting pays attention, he must protect himself. He must not put himself in danger because of temporary gains."

Xiang Liang nodded.

He said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Fan, for reminding me. Xiang Liang has remembered it."

"However, no matter what the Qin court does, the general trend of the world will not change, and my Xiang family's determination to destroy Qin will not waver in any way. Now the Chu land is in constant turmoil and the Qin people are rampant. However, the Xiang family is weak, otherwise how would it be possible? The people of Qin are arrogant."

Xiang Liang's eyes were full of hatred.

After the two exchanged a few words, Xiang Liang stood up and left.

Fan Zeng did not stop him.

The uncle and nephew set out on their way home.

But compared to how solemn they were when they arrived, the uncle and nephew are now much more relaxed.

Especially Xiang Liang.

He gained a lot this time.

Not only did he strengthen his anti-Qin mentality, he also found a way to strengthen the Xiang family.

And he has always known that the Chu State is not weak, but its internal affairs were serious in the past. Now Qin Ting's intervention has reduced the number of nobles in Chu. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as helping the unity of Chu. .

Their Xiang family can also benefit a lot from this.

Set foot on the way home.

Xiang Liang was also full of joy.

I am full of praise for this old friend.

Rare.

Xiang Yu didn't object.

It's a pity that this person cherishes his life too much. Now that the world is not in chaos, he is unwilling to surrender easily. Otherwise, with the help of this person, Xiang will definitely be able to make great achievements in the Chu land. But Xiang Liang doesn't care. With his relationship with Fan Zeng, as long as the world If there is chaos, Fan Zeng will definitely come to vote.

There is Fan Zeng in literature and Xiang Yu in military affairs.

Why should he, Xiang, not be able to show his talents in troubled times?

But compared to Xiang Liang's satisfaction, Xiang Yu was still thinking about ways to defeat Qin.

He stubbornly thinks.

If you want to destroy Qin, you must curb the arrogance of the Qin army. Otherwise, the forces of the six countries will be submissive and will not dare to make too many moves at all.

In the end, you have to rely on force! ! !
