Ni Chu

Han Xian smiled slightly, waved his hand towards Li Xinpeng and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. If General Xiang and this female general hadn't rescued me that day, I would not have healed you. If you want to thank them, you should thank them both. "

Seeing that Han Xian didn't want to take the credit, Mengsu wiped away his tears and forced a smile, looked at the people in the room, and said to them: "Xiang Ye is seriously injured, leave this place to me and Xiang Qing, you all go out and get busy first." Bar,"

After hearing what she said, although they were a little worried about both her and Xiang Qing, they couldn't say anything, so they had to back out.

When only Meng Su and Xiang Qing were left in the room, Meng Su pursed his lips, let out a sigh of relief, and said to Xiang Qing as if he had made up his mind: "You're right, I really didn't take good care of Xiang Qing." Ye, if you want, come here together, anyway, sooner or later you will become his wife, and I don't care if it's a day and a half earlier, "

Meng Su's words stunned Xiang Qing for a moment, she didn't expect that Meng Su would be so generous as to let her stay by Xiang Ye's side.

She tilted her head, looked at Mengsu with some puzzlement and said, "Do you have any conspiracy?"

Meng Su smiled miserably, and replied: "What kind of conspiracy can I have? I have thought about it. I am the only one who stays by Xiang Ye's side. I really can't take care of him well. If you are by his side, the two of us will work together to help him." He, he may not suffer such a serious injury in the future, "

Xiang Qing looked at Meng Su, frowned and didn't speak for a long time. She actually wanted to be by Xiang Ye's side all the time like Meng Su, especially since Xiang Liang died in battle. It is impossible for Xiang Yu to allow her to do this. After all, she is still the daughter of the Xiang family. It is impossible for Xiang Yu to allow her to live with her fiancé before leaving the cabinet.

When Meng Su and others were worried about Xiang Ye who was unconscious, a group of ministers were sitting in the main hall of the just-constructed King Chu Palace. At the head of the main hall, King Huai of Chu was sitting there upright.

Xiong Xin frowned, his face was a bit ugly, after Xiang Liang died in battle, he quickly moved from Xuyi to Pengcheng, made Pengcheng the capital of Chu State, appointed Lu Chen as the Stuart, and asked Lu Chen's father, Lu Qing, to make the order. In Yi, Liu Bang, who had been following Xiang Yu in the first Western Expedition, was named Wu'anhou and appointed Dang County Chief.

The reason why he did this is very simple. Xiong Xin has suffered in the people, and he knows how important power is to him. When Xiang Liang was alive, all the military power in Chu State was in the hands of the Xiang clan. a puppet.

Xiang Liang's death may have been a loss of backbone for Da Chu, but for Xiong Xin, it was a very good opportunity for him to regain military power and political power from the Xiang clan.

As soon as Xiong Xin grasped these, a difficult problem was placed in front of him. After Zhang Han defeated the Chu army in Dingtao, he immediately went north to attack Zhao. country for help.

Since Xiang Liang raised his troops, Chu State has always been the leader of the princes from all walks of life. Naturally, Xiong Xin did not want to lose his position as the leader of the alliance. He wanted to rescue Zhao State, but he didn't know who to send as a general, so he summoned all the ministers. Come to discuss the matter of appointing a general.

In the main hall, there is another person who is not a minister of Chu State, but this person is Gaoling Junxian, the envoy of Qi State.

Before the Battle of Dingtao, Gaoling Junxian happened to be going to Chu as an envoy. When he was about to arrive in Chu, he met Song Yi who was driven by Xiang Liang to go to Qi on the way. Song Yi told him He will suffer a defeat in the near future, so he will postpone his trip.

Mr. Gaoling was always timid. He was told by Song Yi that he really didn't dare to move forward, so he found a place to camp. It didn't take long for him to get the news of Xiang Liang's defeat in Dingtao. From then on, he worshiped Song Yi as a god. People, quite a bit of blind worship.

When Xiong Xin was thinking about aiding General Zhao, Lord Gaoling took the opportunity to speak and praised Song Yi like a god, and also praised Song Yi as a military genius, and strongly recommended Song Yi as the commander of the Chu army.

Xiong Xin summoned the ministers this time to confirm that Song Yi was in command.

Although Gaoling Junxian praised Song Yi for his perfection, but Song Yi's prestige in the Chu army was not high after all, so if he rashly named him a general, I'm afraid the Chu army would not accept it.

If the army wants to convince Song Yi, Xiong Xin must find a suitable reason to push him to the position of general. As long as Song Yi takes that position, the prestige accumulated by the Xiang clan for so long will be greatly reduced , Xiong Xin's position will be more stable.

"My lords, Zhao Guo sent an envoy a few days ago to ask us to send reinforcements to rescue the siege of the giant deer. It is my duty to do this, but I have not been able to decide who will be in command," Xiong Xin said with both hands. Pressing on the table in front of him, he frowned and looked at the ministers sitting next to him, and said, "I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to recommend to the widow?"

After Xiong Xin spoke, the ministers whispered to each other. Some people said that Xiang Yu was a young hero, he was enough to be the commander of the army, and some people said that Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, was honest and mature, and it would be perfect for him to be the commander. But no one asked Song Yi to do it. coach.

It's no wonder that Song Yi had been unknown in front of Xiang Liang's tent in the past, and many ministers didn't even know who he was.

Xiong Xin frowned and listened to the ministers' discussions silently. When the ministers' discussions were in full swing, he quietly winked at a minister who had a lot of contacts with him on weekdays.

Seeing Xiong Xin's wink, the minister knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Xiong Xin, saying, "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend, but this person doesn't have much fame, I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't like him, "

What he said was discussed with Xiong Xin in advance, and Xiong Xin naturally knew what it meant.

There was a smile on Xiong Xin's face, and he stretched out a hand to the minister and made a gesture of invitation and said: "Whoever Aiqing wants to recommend, just ask for it. I only ask for talent, not for title. People are really useful, and widows must be reused."

"Report to Your Majesty," the minister bowed quickly when Xiong Xin asked him to speak, "This man's name is Song Yi, and he is the former Chu Lingyi. A few days ago, General Xiang Liang was stationed in Dingtao. However, General Xiang Liang did not listen to their training, and this defeat shows that Song Yi has a far-sighted vision and has the style of a general. If he is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, His Majesty will definitely not be disappointed."

When the minister said these words, the hall suddenly became noisy like a frying pan.

Xiong Xin looked at these ministers who were whispering and chatting, he frowned, stretched out his hands to press on the table in displeasure, and asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that there are better candidates to recommend?"

As soon as he said these words, the ministers who were still discussing quickly shut their mouths, and the hall that was still noisy just now suddenly fell into silence.

These ministers in the hall were all made by groping in the court hall, each of them was as shrewd as a ghost, and it was hard to tell that Xiong Xin had long been interested in Song Yi.

Xiang Yu sat upright on his knees, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. After all the ministers calmed down, he stood up, bowed his hands to Xiong Xin and said, "Your Majesty, I feel unwell. I beg your Majesty to allow you to step down first."

Xiong Xin frowned. Xiang Yu's actions were obviously dissatisfied with his plan to make Song Yi a general, but he didn't say it directly. Now, most of the soldiers in the Chu army are the confidantes and disciples of the Xiang family. , Xiang Yu said that he wanted to resign, and he was very inconvenient to stop him, so he had to pretend to be concerned, and said to Xiang Yu: "Xiang Qing's family is not feeling well, and you should invite a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. I missed my body,"

Xiang Yu thanked him, turned and walked out of the hall.

After Xiang Yu left the hall, Fan Zeng, who had been sitting under him, quickly stood up and told Xiong Xin to retreat, and followed him out.

After the two of them withdrew, King Huai Xiong Xin stared at the entrance of the hall with a livid face, and after a while he said bitterly: "Back to court,"

Xiang Yu came out of the main hall, and was about to ride the black-tailed horse brought for him by his own soldiers, when Fan Zeng followed behind and shouted, "Stay a step, general."

Xiang Yu put his hands on the horse's back, turned his head and looked at Fan Zeng with a frown and said, "Father Ya also wants to persuade me to agree that Song Yi will be in command."

"Exactly," Fan Zeng stroked his beard, walked up to Xiang Yu and said with a slight smile, "The general was too angry in the hall just now, and it really shouldn't be. However, if Song Yi is in command, it will be of great benefit to the general, but no harm."

"Oh," Xiang Yu tilted his head and looked at Fan Zeng in puzzlement, handed the reins of the dark horse in his hand to the soldiers and asked Fan Zeng, "How can I benefit without any harm? Please teach me, Yafu."

Fan Zeng chuckled, and said to Xiang Yu: "Song Yi used to work under General Xiang Liang's tent, so he should have heard of him as a general."

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "Don't blame Yafu. Song Yi didn't pay much attention to Xiang Ji in the past, so he didn't know him very well. I just know that he is a bit pedantic and very bookish."

"Hahahaha," after hearing Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng raised his head and laughed loudly, and said to him, "The general also said that he didn't know Song Yi well, so how do you know that he is very bookish?"

"This..." Xiang Yu was at a loss for words when Fan Zeng asked him a question, and for a long while he couldn't think of how to answer.

Seeing that Xiang Yu hadn't spoken for a while, Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What the general said is not bad. Although Song Yi has some talents, he is indeed very bookish. Just think about it, general, how can a person who is good at strategy and diplomacy Commanding thousands of troops, if Song Yi is to be in command, the general will not be able to decide on military affairs. Even if he controls the military power, the general can act cheaply at that time. The chess piece chosen by King Huai is just harmless to the general. ,"
