At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 263, Xiang Yu who is unwilling to be inferior to others and Zhao Tuo who wants to be emperor
When Xu Fan was farming in full swing in Guanzhong, after the meeting of princes, all the princes in the world and their envoys returned to their princely states one after another, bringing the latest situation of the Han Dynasty.

Qi State, Linzi.

After Xiang Bo returned to Qi State, Qi King Xiang Yu summoned the top officials of Qi State.

Xiang Bo bitterly said to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, our war preparations against Tian Heng are about to stop."

Xiang Yu said dissatisfied: "Why?"

Fan Zeng said clearly: "The Han Emperor will not allow our Xiang clan to unify Qi. Qi is already a powerful country. If we unify it again, it will pose a great threat to the Han Dynasty."

Fan Zeng had long thought that in the current world, the Han Dynasty is the most powerful force. The Han Dynasty is more powerful than the other princes combined, and the State of Qi is the second most powerful force. If the Han Dynasty is removed, the State of Qi will become the second most powerful force. The strength is stronger than the other princes combined. Qi is so powerful that it will naturally arouse the fear of the Han Dynasty.

Xiang Bo nodded and said: "Chen Guogong told someone that it is best for the Qi State to coexist peacefully with the Jiaodong State. Even if there is a conflict, the Jiaodong State cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, Qi will be the next one to be destroyed. The emperor is right to me. The country is already afraid.”

The senior officials of Qi State were in an uproar.

Long Qie couldn't believe it and said: "Our country of Qi has always been on good terms with the emperor. When we occupied Qi, the emperor helped us a lot, and we have always been respectful to the emperor. Why won't the emperor stand on our side?" ? "Zuo Lingyin, did you hear it wrong?"

To a certain extent, Xu Fan's success made Xiang Yu more confident. Xu Fan could occupy the world and become the common master of the world, so why couldn't Xiang Yu.

Fan Zeng said: "Our State of Qi is the most powerful country under the Han Dynasty. It can recruit hundreds of thousands of troops. How can the Emperor of Han not be afraid? In the past, there was an enemy in the world who violently attacked the Qin Dynasty, but now this enemy has disappeared. , For the Han Dynasty, our Qi State is the biggest enemy and the target that needs to be guarded against. "

Xiang Xiang said: "My uncle's suggestion is a good one. It can be said to be the best of both worlds."

Xiang Yu glared and said angrily: "It's very bad. If Xu Fan doesn't let me occupy Jiaodong Kingdom, I won't occupy Jiaodong Kingdom. Could it be that I, Xiang Yu, am afraid of him?"

However, the Han army was able to defeat the Qin army on the frontal battlefield. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Han army's combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Qin army, and naturally exceeded their Qi army. No normal person would want to be an enemy of such a powerful force.

Although these words were heroic, Xiang Yu's men were very worried.

Xiang Yu was not angry when he heard this, but felt a little happy. After working hard for so many years, Xiang Yu was finally worthy of becoming the opponent of Emperor Han.

As soon as Xiang Yu said this, all the senior officials of Qi frowned. Xiang Yu was not afraid of the emperor, but they were.

But Xiang Yu's men were extremely frightened. They were not as strong-minded as Xiang Yu, and they did not want to be enemies with the powerful man. Although they defeated the Qin army in Qi, they understood that compared to their combat power, they did not have much advantage against the Qin army. It was just because Xiang Yu was too fierce and the Qin people were too unpopular. They defeated the Qin army with the help of Qi talents. Qin army. Their real combat effectiveness should be almost the same as that of the Qin army, and this is also supported by the mourning soldiers.

Xiang Bo said: "Let's just teach Tian Heng a lesson and eliminate Tian Heng's soldiers, but do not capture Jiaodong Kingdom. This will not only warn Tian Heng and let him understand the power of our Qi Kingdom, but also give the emperor a face, so that the emperor will not let him go." Be afraid of my country Qi."

This is what Long Qie and the others are most worried about. Although their confidence in defeating the Qin army has skyrocketed, no matter how confident they are, they also understand that the Qi army cannot defeat the Han army.

Xiang Yu said: "It turns out that Emperor Han is afraid of me."

Cao Jiu said angrily: "It's not that we want to take the initiative to attack Tian Heng, but Tian Heng has been pestering him. He still thinks that he is the master of Qi."

Xiang Ta said: "We violated the emperor's order by attacking Tian Heng. The emperor attacks Qi. What should we do?"

Xiang Yu said: "Leave Han Emperor alone, Tian Heng, a villain, I must teach him a lesson, and I, the King of Qi, must get it."

"The emperor also brought gifts to the king." Xiang Bo immediately took out the armor and weapons he brought back from Chang'an City.

When he saw the First Emperor's team, he could say something like "Bike can replace him". Even the First Emperor was not convinced, let alone Xu Fan.

"Actually, the fact that the Han Emperor could withstand a year without suppressing our Qi country is beyond my expectation. And we still want to annex the Jiaodong Kingdom, which is something the Han Emperor will never allow."

The most important thing is that in the eyes of these people, after wiping out the violent Qin Dynasty, it is the time when they become successful and famous. They have already put on their shoes. It is too unwise to make enemies of the Han enemies at this time.

As a fierce general, Xiang Yu loves armor the most. He immediately put on a piece of plate armor and paired it with a long sword and a long knife.

Zhong Limei thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, since the emperor does not want us to unify Qi, why don't we wait for Tian Heng to make peace. After all, the richest areas of Qi have been occupied by us, leaving a desolate Jiaodong country. Tian Heng, forget it."

"This is the latest Hanjia of the Han Dynasty." Xiang Yu said with some joy.

Then he pulled out the Han Sword, and saw the cold light of the long sword. There were beautiful patterns on it, and it looked like it was made of hundreds of refined steel.

"What a sword!"

But Xiang Bo smiled bitterly and said: "Yu'er, this plate armor weighs 48 pounds, but the Han army has begun to spread it to ordinary soldiers."

"How is this possible?" Xiang Yu said in disbelief.

Such good armor would cost at least 10 yuan in Qi State. What soldier can afford to wear 10 yuan of armor?
But Xiang Bo smiled bitterly and said: "It's true. It's known to the world that the big man has a blast furnace, but no one in the world knows that the big man can smelt 5 kilograms of iron in one furnace. Such an armored man can make 3000 kilograms of iron in one furnace." There are thousands of pieces. According to Zhou Zhang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the cost of such armor is about yuan. Now the Han Dynasty already has tens of thousands of elite armored soldiers. If our country of Qi encounters such elites equipped with plate armor, how will we fight this battle? ?”

Xiang Yu thought for a long time and said: "Take my sword."

The guards took Xiang Yu's sword.

Xiang Yu took off his plate armor and put it on the case. He used all his strength to slash at the plate armor with his sword.

"Cang!" A mark appeared on the plate armor, but it did not cut him.

The senior officials of Qi State took a deep breath when they saw this scene.

They knew Xiang Yu's martial arts, and the weapons he used were of the highest quality, but such a sword could not do anything to the big man's plate armor.

At this time, these people began to imagine that the Qi army and the Han army were in conflict. The Qi soldiers used all their strength to slash at the Han soldiers, but the Han soldiers did not move at all. Then they used Han swords to kill the soldiers who slashed them. In this way They didn't dare to think deeply about the conflict.

Long Qie immediately said: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. We can't defeat the big men if they are all such elites."

The more experienced generals are, the more realistic they are, because those unrealistic generals have been hacked to death. Long Qie and they understand that even with this armor, they cannot defeat the Han army.

But Xiang Yu was unwilling to accept it and said: "Are we going to be suppressed by the Han Emperor forever?"

Fan Zeng sighed and said: "If your Majesty really wants to compete with the Han Emperor, he must win over other princes in the world. Otherwise, we alone cannot be the opponent of the Han Emperor."

Xiang Bo disagreed and said: "The emperor is powerful and benevolent and we must not be our enemies. Otherwise, we will end up violently attacking the Qin Dynasty."

But Xiang Yu said: "It's not that we want to make the Han Emperor our enemy now, but that the Han Emperor has already regarded us as his enemy. The stronger our Qi country is, the more afraid the Han Emperor will be. If we don't make preparations now, will we wait for the Han Emperor to encircle and suppress us?" Are we waiting to die?”

"And the war was fought, not calculated. Back then, Bao Qin was stronger than the Han Dynasty today. Our strength was not as good as the Qi State now, with only 8,000 soldiers from Jiangdong, but we destroyed Bao Qin differently. Now we Qi State has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so it is not necessarily impossible for him to compete with the Han Emperor."

Fan Zeng said: "The interests of all the princes in the world are the same. The more powerful the Han Emperor is, the less good it will be for us and other princes, especially Zang Tu. When the Eastern Chu Kingdom is destroyed, all princes dare to be angry and dare not speak out."

"Shut up, Fan Zeng, you are a common man, are you trying to destroy my Xiang clan?" Xiang Bo said angrily. Xiang Yu's desire to challenge the emperor has already given Xiang Bo a lot of headaches. Fan Zeng is still here, and Xiang Bo's anger can no longer be suppressed.

The strength gap between Han Dynasty and Qi State was too big. Xiang Bo could not see Qi State's chances of winning. It is true that as Xiang Yu said, the strength of Bao Qin was stronger at the beginning, but they still opposed Qin. This is because Bao Qin was their The mortal enemy of the country, the hatred of the country and the family forced them to rebel against Qin.

But the Han Dynasty was their ally, but the Qi State was too powerful, which aroused the Han Emperor's fear. Now Fan Zeng, a common man, did not think about how to stabilize the Han Emperor, but instead continued to make trouble here. This was because he wanted his Xiang family to die.

When the two big guys from Qi State quarreled, Long Qi and the others fell silent.

But Xiang Yu stopped him and said, "Uncle, why should I be angry? My father also thinks about our Qi country. Today's discussion is over. I'm tired. Let's disperse."

Xiang Bo had no choice but to leave.

After all the senior officials of Qi State left, Xiang Yu left Fan Zeng behind and asked: "Father, I want to overthrow the Han Emperor and become the master of the world. I wonder what Yafu can teach me?"

Xiang Yu also knew that the top officials of Qi State were either pro-Han or fearful of the Han. None of them wanted to be enemies with the Han. The only person he could ask for advice was Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng smiled bitterly and said: "Now the Han Dynasty accounts for two out of three parts of the world. Before the Han Dynasty captures Guanzhong, our Qi country still has the strength to fight, but at this time the foundation of the Han Dynasty has become difficult to shake."

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "Isn't there still a part of the world that is not in the hands of the Han Emperor? The Qin Dynasty had millions of troops and countless famous ministers and generals, but they have been destroyed by us. Xu Fan is just a countryman. Some people don't believe in his world. It is stronger than the Qin Dynasty and cannot find any flaws.”

Fan Zeng thought for a while and said: "There are indeed flaws in the Han Dynasty."

Xiang Yu saluted in surprise and said, "Please tell me, Father."

Fan Zeng said: "One is that there are many princes in the Han Dynasty. There are Qi State, Wei State, Dai State, and Liaodong State. The hearts of these princes are not with the Han Emperor. They are also afraid that the Han Emperor will cut down their vassals, but they are afraid of the Han Emperor. We dare not compete with our power, but if our country of Qi takes action, even if these princes do not dare to make friends with our country of Qi openly, they will secretly support us. "

Xiang Yu said disdainfully to these princes: "They are just a bunch of cowards."

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "If this is what you think, don't even think about competing with the Han Emperor. The Qi State is not as good as the Han Dynasty, but you don't know the power to unite other princes. There is no need to fight this battle. To fight it forcefully is to seek death. "

Xiang Yu bowed his hands and said, "Yu'er knows I was wrong."

Fan Zeng continued: "The Han Dynasty also had a fatal flaw, which was that the Han Emperor valued the common people but despised the heroes. The Han army used the equalization of land to win the hearts of hundreds of people in the world. This is the main reason why the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the violent Qin, but because of this countless heroes His family property was divided by the Han Emperor.

Heroes named Han Han, Zhao, Chu, Qin and other regions hated the Han Emperor deeply. To a certain extent, the Han Emperor was the new First Emperor, and his actions had made all the heroes of the world hate him. All the scholars were angry.

Just because the Han army was powerful and the Han Emperor's prestige was higher than that of the First Emperor, all the heroes in the world dared not speak out in anger. At this time, the situation in the world was just like that at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Undercurrents were surging. The powerful people in the world were waiting for the Han Emperor to die of illness and the Han army's combat effectiveness to decline. The people of the world once again rose up against the Han Dynasty. "

"It can be said that after the death of the Han Emperor, the Han Dynasty was the most dangerous, because the powerful forces that even the First Emperor did not dare to offend were completely offended by the Han Emperor. If it were not for the melee in the world, the violent Qin Dynasty attracted the greatest hatred, Guang Juntian This incident is enough for the heroes of the world to besiege the big man."

Xiang Yu was overjoyed. This was the biggest flaw of the Han Dynasty. From the territory occupied by Xu Fan, the landlords had no easy time. In addition to equalizing the land, they also had to bear the most taxes. If the Han army hadn't been powerful, I'm afraid The Han Dynasty will be in a situation where the whole world is in rebellion.

Fan Zeng said: "Your Majesty, you can start contacting the heroes of the world from now on, and be prepared to quickly occupy the Central Plains with the help of these heroes, and then unite the princes of all parties. It may not be impossible to divide the world with the Han Dynasty, or even replace it."

Xiang Yu bowed his hands to Fan Zeng and said, "I'll leave it to my father to contact the heroes."

The words are divided into two parts. South Vietnam, Panyu.

When the envoy from the South Vietnam Kingdom met Zhao Tuo after returning home, he found that the king of his family was wearing a royal crown, and it was also the Xuan crown worn by the First Emperor. He felt dizzy. He thought Zhao Tuo had already proclaimed himself emperor.

"Your Majesty, have you proclaimed yourself emperor?" the envoy said with disbelief on his face.

Zhao Tuo looked ugly and said: "Why can't a humble man be the emperor?"

Zhao Tuo did have this intention. He had already proclaimed himself king, but the First Emperor downgraded the king's status by one level. He felt that he was already successful and famous, so why couldn't he close his door and proclaim himself emperor.

It was because of this idea that he sent an envoy to Chang'an, not only because of Yingbu's relationship, but also because he wanted to see the strength of the big man.

Of course, this did not prevent him from passing the emperor first and wearing the mysterious clothes of the First Emperor. Although these clothes were damp and absorbed heat in Lingnan, Zhao Tuo was in high spirits.

The envoy immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is far more powerful than the Qin Dynasty. You must not make an enemy of it."

Zhao Tuo smiled nonchalantly and said, "What did Emperor Han show you? His courage was scared to death."

Although Zhao Tuo rebelled against Bao Qin, as a member of Bao Qin, he knew very well how powerful Bao Qin was. It was a powerful war machine built over hundreds of years, even though he knew that Xu Fan destroyed Da Qin, but he did not think it was Xu Fan's credit, but that the machine of Da Qin itself decayed and gave the survivors of the Six Kingdoms a chance, which allowed Xu Fan to defeat Da Qin.

Moreover, he did not think that Xu Fan had the ability to attack the Nanyue Kingdom. It was not that Zhao Tuo believed that his country had the strength to compete with the Han Dynasty, but that the terrain of the Nanyue Kingdom was too dangerous and remote. Back then, the Qin Dynasty could attack the country regardless of the cost. He entered Lingnan, but he didn't think that the big man had the power.

Since the Han Emperor had no way to attack him, why should he be afraid of the Han Emperor? And why should we surrender to the Han and be the emperor of the South behind closed doors?

Xu Fan was just a concubine, but he was also a Qin official after all, and his background was much nobler than Xu Fan's. Xu Fan could sit on the throne of emperor, but Zhao Tuo couldn't?

The envoy said helplessly: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty showed me the blast furnace. Can you believe it, my king? The Han Dynasty can smelt tens of thousands of kilograms of iron at a time in the blast furnace. Their iron armor is hammered with hundreds of kilograms of iron, and its defense is extremely strong. But the price is even cheaper than leather armor.”

After speaking, the envoy showed Zhao Tuo the armor he brought back from the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Tuo knocked on the big man's armor. It was made of hardened steel and had a relatively exquisite shape. It was a set of armor that could be used as a family heirloom.

Then he pulled out the Han Sword. The sword was bright and cold, and it looked like a first-class sword. Even the swords in his hand were not as good as this Han Sword, but his subordinates told him that this was a first-class sword. The sword can be worn by the soldiers of the big man.

Zhao Tuo looked at these exquisite armors and swords and couldn't believe it: "Zhou Zhang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, really said that these armors only cost 3000 yuan? Such swords and swords can actually be worn by ordinary soldiers."

The messenger nodded.

Zhao Tuo said: "This must be the big man who is deceiving the princes of the world and wants to intimidate us and other princes in this way."

The envoy smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this iron-making blast furnace cannot be faked. I saw tens of thousands of kilograms of molten iron being cast into armor with my own eyes. This cannot be faked. Moreover, the iron from the Han Dynasty is extremely cheap. It only costs 10 yuan per kilogram." Money, Emperor Han would never sell so much steel at a low price just to deceive us.”

Zhao Tuo was silent for a long time and said: "Even if the Han Dynasty has such sophisticated weapons, we are not afraid. At the beginning, the South Vietnam Kingdom did not even have many bronze weapons, but it has resisted the Qin Dynasty for many years. Now the strength of the Han Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Qin Dynasty, but the strength of our South Vietnam Kingdom is not It is far more difficult for the Han Dynasty to break into South Vietnam than it was back then.”

"And the most powerful weapon of our South Vietnam country is this environment. The climate of South Vietnam is hot and humid. This kind of armor is the most susceptible to decay. If the Han army dared to come, half of them would fall on the march. Even if they come here, they will not How much fighting power.”

The envoy could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Tuo said: "Don't build those emperor's chariots. Our country of Nanyue is already poor. As a king, I must be considerate of the people's sentiments and not increase the burden on my subjects. Moreover, these mysterious clothes are indeed not suitable for the climate of Lingnan." ”

The messenger was surprised and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
