Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 100 Betrayed Again!

At the shogunate banquet, Xiang Zhuang and Liu Jizhong broke up because of their disagreement.Because of the benevolence of women and Xiang Bo's dissuasion, Xiang Yu insisted on going his own way and did not accept Fan Zeng's suggestion to kill Liu Ji.

Although this incident caused discord among the Xiang clan, it seemed that Xiang Yu forgave Liu Ji.But Fan Zeng's appearance as the son of heaven, according to Feng Shuixuan, made Xiang Yu regard Liu Ji as a thorn in his flesh.

During the period at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was the time when Fengshui academics flourished, and alchemists from various schools emerged in endlessly.

Whether it is the government and the public or the people, they are very devout to Feng Shui metaphysics.Because of this, Fan Zeng's words about the appearance of the emperor completely touched Xiang Yu's heart.

Because of the impact of this incident, Xiang Yu's wariness towards Liu Ji was not dispelled by the banquet.

……

Within ten days, Xiang Yu appeased his angry sub-father Fan Zeng, and the upper echelons of the Chu army seemed to have returned to the past all of a sudden, and the tension at the banquet did not happen.

As for his uncle Xiang Bo, Xiang Yu didn't care.He knew in his heart that the Xiang family had broken bones and tendons.No matter how angry Xiang Bo is, he will not betray him.

……

In the hall of the shogunate, there is a huge map of the Central Plains, on which the 48 counties are clearly marked.

……

On the long table, there are Chu wine, tender mutton, and some Huo Cai.Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng sat facing each other, both of them looked a little dignified.

The farce at the banquet is a thing of the past, and today they need to thoroughly discuss who will be enfeoffed, and who will be enfeoffed.

For the sake of confidentiality, only Yafu Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu were involved in this matter.Within a hundred steps of the Chu army's shogunate, there were many soldiers and heavy guards.

……

"Yafu, do you have any countermeasures for dividing up the meritorious generals in the world?" After a long silence, Xiang Yu stopped hesitating and said to Fan Zeng.

"Major General, there are three difficulties in enfeoffing the world!" Fan Zeng stretched out a finger: "One, how can the world's mouth be blocked by Chu Huai Wang Xiongxin's disposition."

"Second, what should we do with the kings of the Six Kingdoms who have completed the revival of the kingship!"

"Third, how can we occupy the righteousness and honor of the entrustment of the major general and Liu Ji. At the same time, we can occupy the most advantage."

……

"Father Ya, please speak!" Not only did Xiang Yu show no signs of impatience, but he laughed heartily for the first time, and his voice was also calm and solemn: "Xiang Yu is all ears!"

"Okay!" Fan Zeng slapped the table in admiration, and then smiled teasingly: "If the major general was like this at the banquet that day, he would have less serious troubles."

After teasing Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng quickly returned to the topic: "Major General, the first thing we have done is to honor King Huai as Emperor Yi and move to Chen County, Changsha."

"Second, you should denigrate the old masters of the six kingdoms and make them kings in their lands. Dismember the six kingdoms and seal the world with military achievements. Only in this way can the general be able to occupy the name of righteousness."

"As for the third one, the Xiang family has a solid foundation in Chu, and the old man thought that the major general should be in charge of Chu. As for Liu Ji's meritorious service, he has to be named."

"Then seal it in Liaodong, use Liaodong to check and balance Liu Ji, and at the same time split the Yan Kingdom to prevent Liu Ji from leaving Liaodong!"

……

Fan Zeng knew very well that if he couldn't kill the beast that might cause harm, he should be locked up tightly.For potential enemies, if they cannot be eliminated immediately, they should be blocked and intercepted.

Whether it is Liu Ji or Hu Hai, they need to take great precautions. Only in this way can the threat of the two be weakened and Xiang Yu can sit firmly in the world.

……

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.Even if it was a secret discussion between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, the news was still leaked.The plan to enfeoff Liu Ji as the king of Liaodong and lead the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong has not yet been officially promulgated.

But the news leaked from behind the scenes had already alarmed a person, and that person was Zhang Liang.

At the banquet of the Chu army shogunate, Zhang Liang once again experienced Xiang Yu's strength and tyranny firsthand.In the camp, after receiving the news that Liu Ji had been banned from Liaodong, he was deeply worried.

He clearly knew that for Liu Ji, entering Liaodong was equivalent to being placed under house arrest.In the closed environment where it is difficult to go out, ambition and will will be wiped away by fine clothes and fine food.

He is very optimistic about Liu Ji, and thinks that Liu Jixiong is a general, and he should be the master of the world.Thinking of this, Zhang Liang acted quickly.

Zhang Liang is a wise man who clearly observes the current situation. He clearly understands that the division of the world seems to be decided by Xiang Yu's order on the surface.

After careful observation, he found that Fan Zeng was behind the planning and overall planning.Only the wily and calculating Fan Zeng can formulate a plan that is beyond hope.

This time, Zhang Liang got the news without any delay.He immediately went to Liu Ji's camp to meet Liu Ji.

……

"Pei Gong, I just got the news that the general intends to seal Pei Gong in Liaodong and the two counties in Liaoxi, so that there is no hope for Pei Gong to enter the Central Plains!" Entering Liu Jijun's shogunate, Zhang Liang said impatiently.

"Sealed in Liaodong?" Liu Ji frowned, as if he had lost his mind.

If it is not necessary, no one is willing to go to the bitter cold place in Liaodong.Even if he was named king, Liu Ji was reluctant.

"Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, far away from the Central Plains!" Liu Ji sighed heavily, and suddenly stood up: "Dare to ask, sir, is this really true?"

"True!" Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, paused every word, and said, "This is the news from Uncle Xiang, so it must be true!"

"What countermeasures can you take to solve Liu Ji's crisis?" Liu Ji sat on the ground and sighed: "If there is any, sir, please help Liu Ji!"

At this moment, Liu Ji looked dignified and his attitude was extremely sincere.He knew that the only person who could change the result was Zhang Liang, who had a deep friendship with Xiang Bo.

Liu Ji knew Xiang Yu too well. Once Xiang Yu made a decision, even ten cows would not be able to pull him back.

"I can only try, success or failure depends entirely on God's will!" Zhang Liang bowed solemnly: "Please Pei Gong, prepare 2000 taels of gold and [-] liters of pearls!"

"it is good!"

Standing up against the case, Liu Ji ignored his injuries and bowed deeply: "Where Liu Ji will go, everything depends on the husband!"

……

Liu Ji knew that Xiang Yu was a simple-minded soldier, who lacked the ability to make political judgments about the complex political arrangements and power balances of dividing the world apart from his emotional likes and dislikes.

He was often unable to make a decision on the plans Fan Zeng provided.At this time, the opinion of the Xiang family, especially the head of the family, Xiang Bo, often had a decisive influence on Xiang Yu.

It was precisely because he understood this that he was so forthright and handed over 2000 taels of gold and [-] liters of pearls to Zhang Liang to clear up the relationship.

In Liu Ji's view, Zhang Liang has a lot to do here.

……

After bidding farewell to Liu Ji, Zhang Liang came to see Bo Xiang immediately.Zhang Liang knew that this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Once Xiang Yu issued the edict, it would be too late.

"Please tell the old man to report to You Lingyin, the old man asks to see you!" Standing outside Xiang Bo's mansion, Zhang Liang said with a slight smile.

"Sir, you don't need to report, please come here!" The elder of the family naturally knew Zhang Liang, and when he saw Zhang Liang, he immediately bowed to introduce him.

"Please--!"

　Originally, Hongtashan thought that getting along with Xiang Bo was more in line with Xiang Yu's character, but some people said that it was a bit silly, so Hongtashan had to change it!
