Competing

Chapter 117 Calculation
Yin Xu came out of Liu Bang's mansion drunkenly, and it was already the beginning of the night.The accompanying guards were a little confused when they saw this, the general was actually drunk?The degree of drunkenness is a bit exaggerated. Zhou Bo brought someone to help him out. How much alcohol did the general drink today?A huge question mark appeared in the minds of the guards, because they knew that the general was a good drinker and had never been drunk before.

In view of this situation, General Yin who came on horseback could only change the mode of transportation. Zhou Bo had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage and help General Yin get into the carriage.Zhou Bo also made a special trip to tell the guards: "General Yin is drunk, please take care of me and send General Yin back to the mansion!"

Yin Xu's personal bodyguards are all brothers who have followed since Peng Lize, and they are all loyal confidantes. This kind of thing will be done well without saying much.

After the door was closed and the carriage started to leave the Liu residence for a certain distance, Yin Xu suddenly opened his eyes.His eyes were clear and bright, his spirit was radiant, and he was extremely sober, without the slightest hint of drunkenness.Obviously, the previous staggering and intoxicated state were all faked.How can a modern person who is used to drinking high-grade liquor be easily drunk by ancient low-purity rice wine.

The carriage ran across the streets of Pengcheng, shaking slightly, Yin Xu lay quietly looking at the ceiling, still remembering Liu Bang's words in his ears that followed Jiu Jin, summed up in one sentence - sowing dissension without leaking traces .

A few days ago, because of Han Xin's incident, Liu Bang knew clearly about the conflict between himself and Xiang Yu.Yin Xu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It seems that Liu Bang has eyeliner on Xiang Yu's mansion, or there are other channels for obtaining information.From Xiang Yu to himself, don't put other people's eyes and ears around him at any time, it will be very bad.It seems that from today onwards we must be cautious.

At the banquet, Liu Bang and Li Shiqi sang together, and Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Xia Houying and others joined in from time to time, but Mr. Zifang, the number one think tank, talked less.Among the ministers, first they deliberately praised Yin Xu, and then implicitly hinted that Yin Xu had a bright future and should not be placed under the fence.
Yin Xu was in a bad mood, and it really was a feast without a good feast.In order to leave the embarrassing place earlier, he deliberately pretended to be very happy when they were flattering, kept toasting and drinking, and then successfully pretended to be drunk, and then he was able to leave.Of course, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others may guess that he is pretending, but this is not important anymore.

Yin Xu was still guessing the purpose of Liu Bang's invitation to the banquet before, but he was really uneasy and kind.Xiang Liang had contemptuously insulted him that day, most likely because he held a grudge all the time, but psychologically speaking, Liu Bang was probably applauding Xiang Liang's death.He suffered a big defeat here, but fortunately, Chen Liu was born beautiful in the first battle, his strength increased greatly, and he was even thinking about poaching the wall when he came back.

Yin Xu's heart was like a mirror, Liu Bang's intentional or unintentional provocation, probably because he wanted to fall from Xiang Yu's side to him.Yin Xu smiled, maybe he would have done it before, but now...huh!It's true that he doesn't want to be under Xiang Yu's command anymore, but he won't defect to Liu Bang either.Yin Xu finally figured it out. If he wants to live a stable life in this year and have a future, he has to rely on himself. It will be a matter of time before he establishes his own family.

He has already started thinking about this matter, and after the Julu battle, he will find a way to put it into practice and build his own world.Before that, you have to support Xiang Yu to win the Battle of Julu, otherwise everything will be useless.As for the relationship with each other, the worst is hypocrisy!At the same time, you have to be careful of Liu Peigong!

Thinking of this, Yin Xu couldn't help worrying about Han Xin. Since Liu Bang knew the inside story, would he go to Han Xin in private?After thinking about it, it probably wouldn't happen at this time. Han Xin arranged for him to go to the army as a spearman. From the outsiders' point of view, he should be General Yin's man.Liu Bang was trying to win him over just now, so how could he easily poach his corner?What's more, apart from Yin Xu himself, who can predict Han Xin's role in the future?
It would be best if Liu Bang could win over Yin Xu by doing this, even if he could not alienate the relationship between him and Xiang Yu, it would be good. This is probably Zhang Liang's idea.It can be seen from today's banquet that Zhang Liang did not say a few words, to paraphrase an inappropriate saying "a dog that bites does not bark". Ignore it.

A three-inch tongue can reach millions of troops, hum!In Yin Xu's view, it was a joke.The contribution of a good diplomat cannot be denied, but everything is backed by national strength.Even if the other party is persuaded to take certain actions, it is often beneficial to both parties. In the final analysis, it is all driven by interests.Of course, one situation has to be ruled out, that is, encountering an idiot.

So regardless of history or fact, the most terrifying thing around Liu Bang is Zhang Liang.The only thing he could not have expected this time was Yin Xu's background. General Yin knew the future situation of the world very well, and he had already made plans in his mind, but he was just waiting for the opportunity to follow the trend.So not only did the plan fail, but it also aroused Yin Xu's vigilance. It seemed that he had to find a way to get Liu Bang away from Zhang Liang, even if it was for a while.

While the carriage was bumping, Yin Xu looked at the roof of the carriage and smiled slightly, with a plan in mind.Losing Zhang Liang is like losing an arm, and Liu Bang will be depressed.But tomorrow morning, I have to leave for Shangcai, so I can only put it into practice after I come back.

Speaking of depressed people, there is one person tonight, and that is Xiong Xin, King Huai of Chu. In the newly decorated Pengcheng Palace, there are only two people, Xiong Xin and Xiong Kang.

"Father!" When he was alone, he always called Xiong Kang like this. In front of him, Xiong Xin was no longer that young and mature King Huai of Chu, he was still just a child.The kindness of nurturing for more than ten years, the deep love between father and son is unmatched by others.

Xiong Kang said in a deep voice, "Is Your Majesty worried because of Xiang Liang's death?"

Xiong Xin nodded helplessly, very disappointed and aggrieved.In the matter of killing Tianjia, he was a little childish and willful. With Song Yi's instigation, he made mistakes, resulting in today's situation.He regretted it when he was in Xuyi, and when he first arrived in Pengcheng today, his regret and self-blame deepened, making him unable to sleep for a long time.He only heard him whisper: "Xiang Liang is dead, most of Xiang Yu and his generals hate me, and they have to hide and cling to Song Yi, what should we do?"

Xiong Kang was silent, and thought for a long time before saying: "Since people are dead and unable to change anything, what the king needs now is to create a balance of power. Without Xiang Liang, there are other people around, of course it is not one or two. The balance between them can allow them to check and balance each other, and the king did a good job before."

Xiong Xin pondered for a while, and tentatively asked: "Does foster father mean Liu Bang and Yin Xu?"

Xiong Kang nodded lightly: "These two people are extraordinary, of course there are Yingbu and others. It would be the best if we can cultivate our own soldiers, I'm afraid it's too late due to time constraints!" Waiting for others, this is their biggest difficulty.

Pengcheng tonight is full of calculations. Liu Bang calculated to provoke Xiang Yu and Yin Xu, but Yin Xu plotted against him.When Yin Xu was lying happily on the carriage, he didn't know that he was already in the scheme of King Huai of Chu...
