Chapter 247 The Real Boss: King Huai of Chu【This chapter is free】

[PS: This chapter has a lot of political analysis, which may seem like water to many readers, but the author thinks it is necessary to write about the more political game of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, so I still write it, but this chapter will post a chapter testimonial, It's free, no pre-subscription, thank you for your support! 】

"In the eyes of many people, this King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, is just a simple puppet without any great abilities."

"But this is also where the garbage author is so powerful. Through many cryptic plots, he directly shows that Xiong Xin is still the most powerful character, and he is also the one with the highest level of political struggle among all the princes and kings. At least in terms of political struggle, I think I haven't seen any character whose political combat ability can surpass this Xiong Xin!"

"We put ourselves in Xiongxin's perspective to analyze our situation."

"First of all, after Xiong Xin was born, the state of Chu had perished, and he himself was a wanted criminal of the state of Qin. Almost all the nobles of the six countries were killed. Almost all the nobles of the six countries that have emerged now are some bystanders. When he was a small, unimportant character. Only he himself was the grandson of King Huai of Chu, and his blood was unparalleled. Such a person must be the key target of Qin's search, but he survived all the way safely. Now, that has to be credited to his individual ability."

"Then he was found by Xiang Liang, and he was named King Huai of Chu."

"Even Qin couldn't find him, but Xiang Liang found him easily. Don't you think it's amazing? As the son of Xiang Liang's Chu general Xiang Yan, according to the description in the novel, Xiang Yan died after being defeated. Instead of surrendering, he committed suicide directly. This is a great loyal minister, and Xiang Liang himself has been carrying out activities to rebuild Chu. In Xiong Xin's view, this is a loyal minister, so he took the initiative to show up when looking for him , so happy to be the king of Chuhuai!"

"But the King Huai of Chu soon discovered that Xiang Liang was not a loyal minister at all, but a powerful minister who completely treated King Huai of Chu as a puppet, did not give him any rights at all, and trapped him in the deep palace. The ambitious King Huai of Chu was extremely dissatisfied. If he wanted to take power, he had to kill Xiang Liang, so he arranged for Song Yi to use Zhang Han to kill Xiang Liang!"

"Then it was time for King Huai of Chu to show his means. According to the description in the novel, King Huai of Chu first said that he set up a large-scale ceremony in the palace to sacrifice Xiang Liang, which forced Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to go back to participate in this ceremony. , and then King Huai of Chu arranged for the troops of these two men to be stationed in different places, and at the same time let most of Xiang Liang's army leaders come to the funeral."

"After the funeral was over, the King Huai of Chu directly conferred titles on all the military leaders. At this time, Liu Bang, the self-proclaimed Duke of Pei, became the dignified Marquis of Wu'an, who was personally recognized by the King of Chu. Marquis, this is equivalent to directly giving an orthodox background, which is a very big reward, and the novel describes Liu Bang's excited 10 days without falling asleep, which is the most direct proof!"

"And this kind of title was also distributed to all the military leaders including Xiang Yu at the same time, what Wang Ling, Lu Chen, etc., those military leaders who joined Xiang Liang later, and even Yingbo, Xiang Yu's subordinate, were also disqualified. I have been named Marquis. These were originally subordinates of the Xiang family army, but now they are all on an equal footing with Xiang Yu himself, and everyone is a Marquis.”

"Such a large-scale reward, and without any cost, directly took most of Xiang Liang's army leaders for his own use, making these people all willingly recognize him as the king of Chu, and Xiang Yu's prestige is not enough at all, and he can only watch that his uncle's subordinates are all independent, and they don't even recognize him as the new master of Xiang's army."

"This is the biggest mistake Xiang Liang made, that is, he recruited a large number of troops, but did not recruit their hearts, which made it impossible to grind a rope. Of course, considering the chaotic situation and short time at that time, Xiang Liang He only thought about expanding the number of his own army, and he didn't think about winning people's hearts."

"But now this mistake has become a fatal problem, directly turning the puppet King Huai of Chu into the real King Huai of Chu."

"However, King Huai of Chu has also created an enemy he cannot win over, and that is Xiang Yu."

"In Xiang Yu's view, King Huai of Chu was clearly supported by himself, but he took advantage of the death of his uncle to seize power when Xiang's army was at its most dangerous, and in the end he really gave almost all of his army to him Take it away. Xiang Yu hates King Chuhuai to the core. If the author does not write Xiang Yu to death, then Xiang Yu will definitely kill the King of Chuhuai in the future. The hatred between the two parties has reached an inexorable level.”

"King Huai of Chu also understood this deeply, so he needed to kill Xiang Yu. But the problem is, Xiang's army is already in such a miserable state, and he himself was supported by Xiang Liang. If he kills Xiang Yu directly at this time , then these marquises he just conferred will not trust him at all, so it can only use other means to kill Xiang Yu."

"King Huai of Chu is a very smart person. He understands that the simplest method is the best method, just like he killed Xiang Liang back then, and he would just use Qin Jun's hand to kill Xiang Yu."

"At this time, Zhang Han is attacking the State of Zhao. If the State of Zhao perishes, then the State of Chu will be in danger, so now all the rebuilt vassal states are supporting the State of Zhao. As the most powerful State of Chu, it must be Going to support Zhao Guo, plus Zhang Han is the direct enemy who killed Xiang Liang, this is a legitimate reason, and Xiang Yu can't refuse it at all."

"So King Huai of Chu sent the rest of the Xiang family army and most of the princes to support Zhao, but King Huai of Chu appointed Song Yi as the general, Xiang Yu was only the second general, and Fan Zeng himself People sit at the end of the general."

"Song Yi is the person King Huai of Chu trusts the most, and he is also the person he uses to control the entire army. Using Song Yi as the general is equivalent to directly tying Xiang Yu's hands and feet, making Xiang Yu's blood completely useless. Sprinkle it everywhere, and eventually become the key person to kill Xiang Yu."

"Let me make a prediction here. Xiang Yu is likely to be stabbed to death by Song Yi in this battle."

"Then there is Liu Bang. Why didn't King Huai of Chu let Liu Bang follow Xiang Yu to save Zhao, but instead ordered him to attack Qin from another direction?"

"Because King Huai of Chu knows that Liu Bang is actually the most terrifying opponent in the future. When describing the funeral in the novel, it is specifically written that King Huai of Chu summoned Liu Bang's generals to meet together and chatted with them for a whole day. It seems to be a respect for Liu Bang himself, but in fact, it is King Huai of Chu who wants to know how many people under Liu Bang can become capable generals!"

"I didn't know the result, but I was shocked when I saw it. Liu Bang's subordinates are all talented people. Xiao He, Cao Shen, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, Zhou Chang, all of them are top-level capable ministers and fierce generals. In comparison, Xiang Yu Although it is also very fierce, but he is only himself."

"And King Huai of Chu himself had a very low evaluation of Xiang Yu, saying that he was just a brave and foolhardy warrior, not as capable as the halberd-handling man in front of his tent, so in the eyes of King Huai of Chu, maybe Liu Bang's threat to him There's more, it just doesn't show right now."

"The most important point is that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are righteous brothers. The two of them fought side by side for several months. The relationship between the two brothers is very good. If the two of them go to the rescue together For Zhao Guo, Song Yi might be killed first!"

"So Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had to separate, and they had to find a way to kill Liu Bang, so King Huai of Chu let Liu Bang lead 3000 troops from his headquarters to attack Qin directly. Just kill Liu Bang."

"Then why did King Huai of Chu propose that whoever enters Guanzhong first is king?"

"Because Qin State is really strong. If you kill Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, you will almost kill your two most powerful guns. King Huai of Chu must have a strong bait so that other heroes who are paddling water will all be killed." Go and attack Qin, so that he can sit back and relax as the king of Chu!"

"Is there any bait in the world that can be more alluring than King Qin?"

"The one who enters Guanzhong first is the king. This agreement is not only for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but also for other princes. No matter which princes, whoever enters Guanzhong first can be the king of Qin. How is this? Huge bait, who can resist?"

"That's why I said that King Huai of Chu's political struggle method is extremely strong. First separate Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and then use the Qin army to kill them, and he will completely control the power."

"Under normal circumstances, both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu must die, but the problem is that we already know that Liu Bang later became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Bang must have successfully entered Guanzhong with only 3000 people, so I It is said that Liu Bang must be the first to enter Guanzhong!"

"As for Xiang Yu, it depends on what the author thinks. If the author wants to write a bit more sad, then kill Xiang Yu at this time, and then there will be Liu Bang's war with King Huai of Chu in order to avenge Xiang Yu!"

"If the author wants to write more bloody, it is estimated that Xiang Yu tried his best to kill Zhang Han and Song Yi, and then he and Liu Bang successfully joined forces in Guanzhong, and the two of them fought against King Huai of Chu together."

"I personally think that the latter possibility is more likely, because the title of this novel is called Chu Han Zhenghegemony. Chu must refer to King Huai of Chu, and Han should refer to Liu Bang. After all, Liu Bang will not be the king of Qin. It may be most appropriate to inherit the name of Qin, which has made all the vassal states change their colors, and change the name of the country to a new one, so it was changed to Han."
