Competing

Chapter 219 Chapter [-]
After Han Sheng was killed, no one dared to object to Xiang Yudong's return to Chu State!Under Xiang Yu's insistence, Fan Zeng had no choice but to give in, agreeing that Xiang Yu would dominate Pengcheng!For this reason, the enfeoffment plan had to be renegotiated!

Fan Zeng said: "The capital of Pengcheng, the land of the nine counties of Liang and Chu must be brought under your rule, Yu'er, so that you will have enough strength to dominate the world!"

In this way, Xiang Yu's fiefdom mainly included Surabaya, Donghai, Dangjun, Donghai, Kuaiji and other nine most affluent counties in Liang and Chu.On the shore of the sea, from Jishui in the north is the border of Qi State, in the west a lot of Wei State's territory has been eroded, on both sides of the Huaihe River in the south, all the way to the south of the great river!You must know that after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the county system was implemented, and there were only 36 counties in the whole country, and Xiang Yu monopolized a quarter!

Moreover, these nine counties are basically all coastal lands, located in the Huanghuai and Jianghuai areas, and they are all flat, fertile and rich lands.Although Guanzhong is a land of abundance, it has been dilapidated after experiencing the licentious rule of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao in recent years. It can be said that it is not as good as the nine counties of Liang and Chu that Xiang Yu has chosen now.

Fan Zeng worked hard and worked hard for Xiang Yu's hegemony, and the fief he won is absolutely incomparable.After Xiang Yu heard it, he was also very happy. In this way, almost all the territories of the Western Chu Kingdom were brought under the rule, and he could finally return to his hometown in good clothes.Moreover, with such a huge anti-territory, he has enough power to be the overlord, so that the princes of the world dare not refuse!
However, Fan Zeng still had some concerns, so he said, "Although this is good, there are some problems!"

Xiang Yu asked, "What's the problem?"

Fan Zeng analyzed: "First of all, Wei Bao will definitely be dissatisfied with occupying Liang land! And behind Pengcheng is Tian Rong of Qi State, so security is inevitably worrying!"

Xiang Yu said disapprovingly: "Don't worry about this matter, Wei Bao didn't have the list to challenge me. As for Tian Rong, hehe, if he really dared to act rashly, I would really wish for it, just kill him to avenge his uncle! Even if they come together, What can I do?"

Fan Zeng continued: "Not only that, how should Liu Bang arrange it? We have returned to Pengcheng, can Liu Bang go to Han and Zhong?"

Xiang Yu said coldly: "It doesn't matter, Han and Zhong are wild lands, I just want to exile Liu Bang and see who dares to disagree!"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "Father Ya is worried about what will happen if Liu Bang leaves Shu? When we return to Pengcheng, there will be no one in Guanzhong to suppress Liu Bang!"

Xiang Yu thought for a while and said: "The road in the middle of Shu is rugged, and there is only one plank road to get out of Shu. Just hold on to it. If you are worried, you can consider putting a prince in Guanzhong to suppress Liu Bang!"

Fan Zeng said softly: "Who should be let go? This person must be able to withstand shocks, and he will not join forces with Liu Bang!"

Xiang Yu pondered: "Isn't it like Zhang Han?"

"Zhang Han?" Fan Yafu shook his head and said, "Zhang Han used to be the general of the Qin Dynasty, and he is skilled in military tactics. If he controls the Guanzhong area, he may be a threat!"

Xiang Yu seemed to have become wiser all of a sudden, and said with a smile, "We can adopt Qi State's plan and divide the old Qin State into three parts! Isn't there Dong Yi and Sima Xin!"

"Zhang Han has merit in surrendering, Dong Yi is also able to force it, Sima Xin..." Fan Zeng was a little hesitant about this.

Xiang Yu said: "Yafu, although Sima Xin was not a general of Qin, he helped his uncle in the past. Let's treat him as a favor! In this way, there are three princes in Qin's hometown. Although they fought together, it is Zhang Han. But once they have their own territory, there will be conflicts between them, and they will not be as united as before! With Zhang Han's strength, it is still possible to suppress Liu Bang!"

Fan Zeng thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, what Xiang Yu said made sense.Moreover, Zhang Han's surrender resulted in the killing of 20 Qin soldiers, and the common people of the Qin State also complained about Zhang Han. What is there to worry about for a prince who cannot get the support of the people?

In fact, Xiang Yu didn't know this, maybe he did it on purpose.The three of Zhang Han were enfeoffed in the old land of Qin, and they were bound to be cast aside by the common people.

"That's the way it is! Put Liu Bang in the remote mountains and remote areas of Bashu, so that he will never have a bright future!" Although Fan Zeng said so, there was still a trace of worry in his heart. Maybe it was luck or self-confidence. Did not say it.

Xiang Yu had a thought, and said with a smile: "Yafu, just now I suddenly thought of the title! Back in Pengcheng, the fief is all the old land of Western Chu, so how about taking the title as Overlord of Western Chu?"

There is a reason for Xiang Yu to think this way. Qin Yingzheng ruled the world, and he claimed to have made meritorious deeds over the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, so he became the first emperor of all time.Now Xiang Yu thinks that he is not much worse than Ying Zheng, but it is a pity that he can only take the route of hegemony, not proclaim himself emperor.

In his heart, Xiang Yu is unwilling to admit defeat, so even if he is an overlord, he must be a different overlord, just like Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, be a different overlord!Therefore, taking the title of Overlord of Western Chu and adding the word "Ba" to the title, Xiang Yu can be said to be No. 1 in all ages!Since you want to dominate, then express the word "Ba" so that everyone knows it and everyone surrenders!
Of course, the title of Western Chu in front of it just highlights the region, and to some extent replaces the Chu State represented by King Huai of Chu Xiong Xin.The Xiang family will gradually become the orthodox representative of the Chu State, which can be regarded as a long-term plan!Xiang Yu's ancestral home is the Prime Minister of Western Chu, so it can be regarded as returning to his hometown with honor, so that all the people of Western Chu know his reputation as Xiang Yu!
Fan Zeng smiled helplessly. Under normal circumstances, what Xiang Yu decided was powerless to change.The Overlord of Western Chu is the Overlord of Western Chu!It's just... I just heard Fan Yafu say: "It's very good, but there is still a problem when returning to Pengcheng, how to arrange for King Huai?"

After all, the current capital of Chu State is Pengcheng, where there is a nominal king of Chu State, Xiong Xin, which is a symbol of Chu State's current orthodoxy.If Xiong Xin is not dealt with properly and placed properly, Xiang Yu will naturally be criticized, which is not what he wants to see!
Xiang Yu said: "If you don't let him go back to Xuyi... no..."

Fan Zeng nodded and said, "Although Xiong Xin is a puppet, he is the king of Chu after all. It was your uncle who came back to support him. This matter must be handled properly. Xu and Yi are not acceptable. In order to stabilize your rule, Xiong Xin must not stay in the West Chu crosses the border."

"What does Yafu mean?" Xiang Yu asked loudly.

Fan Zeng pondered for a while, and said, "It's not like Chenzhou! At that time, he will be honored as Emperor Yi and his capital will be moved to Chenzhou. That is also the territory of Chu State, but it is just a border area. No problem!"

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "It's so good, Ya Fu, you should feel relieved now! Xiong Xin has been properly settled, Liu Bang is trapped in the mountains of Bashu, and we can go back to Pengcheng with peace of mind!"

Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng in astonishment, and then remembered that there was another hidden danger - Yin Xu!
