Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 212 Fighting for power and profit ([-])

Xiang Yu notified Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng to let Huai Wang Xiong Xin come to greet him, but he didn't tell the generals under his account, but a few people knew about it.

When Luo Jia came to report, Xiang Yu smiled and nodded to show that he already knew.Xiang Yu knew that Xiong Xin must be very aggrieved and angry now, but he didn't care.In Xiang Yu's eyes, so what if Xiong Xin has his own power?As long as you hold food, grass, weapons and other objects firmly, the bear's heart will not be able to jump.

The cavalry slowed down and began to guard along the way.And Xiang Yu also brought Long Qi, Ji Bu, Zhang Liang and other civil and military personnel from the Chinese Army to the gate of Wuxian City to accept Xiong Xin's courtesy.

"I've seen the king!" Xiang Yu got off his horse and cupped his hands to Xiong Xin.

Xiang Yu bowed his hands in salute, and all the civil and military men behind him also bowed their hands and said: "I have seen the king!"

Although everyone was saluting, they didn't see much respect for Xiong Xin.This made Xiong Xin's face, which was a little swaying, suddenly darken, and then it disappeared in a flash.

But Xiong Xin didn't know it. Gongsun Hong and Fan Zeng who were on the side had already seen it.

"Everyone loves you!" First, he helped everyone with his dignified hands, and then he helped Xiang Yu himself.Xiong Xin bowed his hands to Xiang Yu very warmly and said: "Thanks to Han Gong's defeat of the Qin army, otherwise the re-established Great Chu will be destroyed by the tyrant Qin again! Please accept this king's worship!"

In the eyes of all Xiang Yu's subordinates, what Xiong Xin did was so fake that it couldn't be more fake.

Naturally, Xiang Yu knew what Xiong Xin was up to, and accepted Xiong Xin's courtesy without hesitation.Then he said very modestly: "This is all relying on the life of the officers and men. If the ministers work hard to die, otherwise the Tyrant Qin army would not be defeated so early! The ministers dare not take credit for it!"

"Hey! Duke Han is too modest!" Xiong Xin said in a very harmless way, pulling Xiang Yu's hand kindly.

He rode with Xiang Yu in the king's chariot, while Xiang Liang and the others followed on horseback.Except for a part of the army who followed into the city, everyone else entered the camp that had been arranged earlier.

Xiongjiu's high-spirited army entered Wu County, and the people on both sides of the road had long heard of Xiang Yu's class teacher.They came out to meet Xiang Yu and the triumphant army one after another, and everyone was overjoyed to see Xiang Yu.

There are many people in Wu County who migrated from other places. Compared with other counties and counties in the world, Xiang Yu's rule is a happy land.It can be said that the land under Xiang Yu's control is peaceful and peaceful, except for the counties close to the border that are slightly exposed to war.Although the people can't live a rich life for everyone, they can still have three meals and food and clothing, and they don't have to linger in the war.

Suddenly, the people fell to their knees and shouted: "Duke Han wins!"

Soon, a large number of people rushed to imitate, and the people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Duke Han wins!"

"Duke Han wins!"

On the king's chariot, Xiong Xin was originally very red.But after the people knelt down and shouted "Han Gong Wan Sheng", their faces were very ugly.Xiang Yu noticed it a long time ago, but he pretended not to know and stood half his body over Xiong Xin to accept the applause of the people.

The Palace of the King of Chu in Wuxian County.

In the main hall, Xiong Xin sat on the throne.There is another seat on the left, but Xiang Yu is sitting in this seat now.

Except for Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang who went to the hall with swords, all the officials in the hall did not have such honor.

"Your Majesty! The country has been established in a hurry this time, and the official positions in the court have not yet been awarded. This time, taking advantage of the army's defeat of the Tyrant Qin, how about awarding the civil and military officials in the palace?" Xiang Yu, sitting on Xiong Xin's left hand, looked at Xiong Xin and said slowly.

"What Ai Qing said is true!" Xiong Xin didn't have any strength to challenge Xiang Yu now, so he could only pretend to be his grandson and nodded in response.

"I don't know how the king thinks that the official position should be rewarded?" Xiang Yu scoffed at Xiong Xin's performance, but he was still the king of Chu in name, so he had to ask.

"It's fine for Aiqing to decide!" Xiong Xin naturally knew that her opinion was useless, so she said weakly.

"That's it! The minister is overstepping!" Xiang Yu cupped his hands perfunctorily, then stood up and signaled Xue Zhong to take out the reward edict that he had prepared a long time ago.

Xue Zhong handed the edict to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu slowly unfolded it and read it out.

"Although Chu was re-established, it was built on the foundation of Qin. Therefore, the Qin system should be the main one, and the Chu system should be supplemented!......"

"Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang is the captain of the country and the champion of Qingzi; Xiao He is the prime minister, plus the left concubine; Chen Ying is the royal doctor, plus the five doctors; Zhang Cang is the Taiwei, plus the five doctors; Xiang Le is the court captain, plus the right concubine Chang; Xiang Quan is Fengchang, plus five great officials; Wang Ling is Lang Zhongling, plus five great officials; Xiang Ji is the master lieutenant, plus five great officials; Add five doctors; Xiang Zhu is the captain of the guard, add five doctors; Shusun Tong is Shang Shuling, add five doctors; Xue Zhong is the Shaofu, add five doctors; An Qisheng is Zong Zhengcheng, add five doctors... ..."

The reward edict read by Xiang Yu actually ordered the Xiang family to carve up the interests of the entire Chu state.Ning Jun, who could have been an attendant, was transferred to be a guest, and Bai Gong was appointed as a house horse order to raise horses for Xiong Xin, and Qin Jia was transferred to Chen County as the county magistrate of Yangxia County.

Because Bai Gong and Qin Jia had official positions as non-military generals, they had to hand over their men and horses.Therefore, after the court meeting, Long Qie was ordered to personally accept the soldiers and horses under the command of the two men.Originally, Qin Jia was unwilling to hand over his soldiers and horses, but because Long Qi brought [-] elites and surrounded his garrison, there was a stance of beheading without surrendering military power.In order to survive, Qin Jia had no choice but to hand over all the soldiers and horses with Bai Gong.

…………

Song Yi Camp.

Knowing that his allies Qin Jia and Bai Gong's soldiers and horses had all been captured, Song Yi summoned his military adviser Zuo Shu, younger brother Song Yan, and son Song Xiang to discuss how to deal with it.

"General! For the present plan, we have to hand over the military power, otherwise the Xiang family will not let me wait for Ansheng. It is also impossible for you to enter the court and serve the king of Chu!" Zuo Shu said to Song Yi sincerely, clasping his hands.

"Is there no other way?" Song Yi was very unwilling to see the military power handed over, and sat in the last fight.

"Unless the general serves the Xiang family, he has to gain the trust of the Xiang family; otherwise, the general cannot have a single soldier at the center of the Xiang family's rule!" Zuo Shu said, clasping his hands. "But the general must remember, if you vote for the Xiang family, the king will definitely not trust the general again!"

"Xiang's family is full of talents now, and I will definitely not have a bright future if I join him. It's better to be loyal to King Huai first. As long as I plan properly, I will be able to return to the center of the court!" Song Yi shook his head to express his rejection of Zuo Shu's words, and then said to himself.

Song Yan and Song Xiang believed what Song Yi said, but Zuo Shu didn't think so.In his opinion, although the Xiang family has many talents, it is extremely short of middle and low-level officials.Moreover, Xiang Yu is developing at a high speed now, and after serving in the past, at least one county guard will not be able to escape.
