Competing

Chapter 250 Chapter [-] Three Threats
Yin Xu and Pu Jun's two beautiful anti-sneak attacks coincided with each other, which caused some changes in the situation, and the deployment of many people was disrupted.Such as Zhang Liang, such as Wei Wangbao and the mysterious monarch, and of course the noble Fan Yafu of the Western Chu Kingdom is also among them.

After Lu Matong's failed ambush in Baishui Gorge of Linjiang State, his morale was low, and he had no chance to attack again, so he had no choice but to send back news to Xiang Yu.At that time, Xiang Yu had not yet returned to Pengcheng, and he received a secret report from Lu Matong at Xingyuan on the way.

"Incompetent!" After Xiang Yu read the secret report, he slapped it on the desk, almost smashing the wooden desk into pieces.

Fan Zeng asked calmly, "But there is news from Linjiang? Lu Matong failed?"

Xiang Yu said angrily: "It's useless for me to trust Lu Matong so much, and hope that he can make contributions to the widow. I don't want to be an incompetent person. To be so careless to leak the news, and be burned back by Yin Xu, it is really a waste You still complain that you haven't given him the title of Marquis, so incompetent, you still have face?"

Xiang Yu was in a fit of anger, and he had all kinds of resentment and anger towards Lu Matong, scolding and cursing ensued.It is precisely because of this that Lu Matong's hope of becoming a marquis has been completely wiped out, so only fate knows what consequences will arise.

Fan Zeng is relatively calm. After all, he is in his 70s and has experienced too many storms, and he is completely able to stay calm.Yin Xu is shrewd, resourceful, and excellent in force and use of troops. It is naturally not easy to intercept him, so failure is also a reasonable thing.

The reason why they sent people to intercept and kill him was just to have more possibilities. It would be best if he could kill Yin Xu.If it fails, the many restraints arranged and planned before will be effective, so Fan Yafu is very calm.

Fan Yafu said calmly: "Lu Matong must be eager for quick success and quick profit, and carelessly underestimate the enemy! But although he has high hopes, the person he has to deal with is Yin Xu, so it is not surprising."

Fan Zeng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the problem at a glance.It was precisely because of this sentence that Lu Matong's future was completely ruined. A general who is not prudent and reckless is naturally difficult to be of great use.

Xiang Yu said: "That's true. Donglai has always done things like this. He was able to burn Zhang Han's food and grass in Pu and Yang with more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and fought for so long with the Qin army that was several times his own. This is what he is good at. .Although there are only 1000 people around, it should not be underestimated.”

It is strange to say that Xiang Yu's address to Yin Xu is still a superficial word, and he may not have realized that even though he is an enemy, there is still an inexplicable "friendship".Moreover, after what Fan Zeng said today, Xiang Yu's sanity was exceptionally clear, and he remembered Yin Xu's greatness in the past, and began to face it squarely.

Fan Zeng was very satisfied with this change, and couldn't help but nodded slightly, his old face became a little more rosy.Satisfied, the failure of the initial operation to intercept Yin Xu was diluted a lot.Said: "Exactly, it is not easy to successfully intercept and kill Yin Xu, but this incident also shows Yin Xu's danger."

Xiang Yu asked, "Yafu, what should we do next?"

Fan Zeng sighed: "The news came from Wei State that Wei Bao's ambush against the Vietnamese army failed, and the Vietnamese army diverted from the Han border and our western Chu border to enter Linjiang State. Obviously they want to fight with Yin Xu meets!" In Fan Yafu's opinion, on the one hand, the Yue Kingdom's luck is really good, and on the other hand, it has to be said that Yin Xu's arrangements are very thoughtful.

Xiang Yu sneered and said, "It seems that they are still afraid of me, Xichu, otherwise why should they rush away?"

Fan Zeng said: "It doesn't matter if the Vietnamese army slipped away. Even if Pu Jun and Su Jiao really passed through our country in Western Chu, it's not easy to deal with it blatantly. The key is that Yin Xu has a large army to protect him. Easy to handle.

Now that Emperor Yi has entered the Nine and Jiang Kingdoms, it is time for him to make a move. I originally thought that after Yin Xu made a move, I would use this as an excuse to let Huan Chu send troops.But now it seems that Yin Xu has been prepared for a long time, and he may not be willing to do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve his wish! "

Compared with directly sending people to ambush and intercept him, Fan Zeng was more interested in this second arrangement, killing Emperor Yi Xiong Xin, charging Yin Xuhe with an excuse, and killing two birds with one stone.However, judging from the situation of the Vietnamese army going south, Yin Xu had already prepared countermeasures, and it is estimated that he would not obediently submit and assassinate Emperor Yi.

Xiang Yu said coldly: "If he doesn't do anything, I will be the first to clean up the country of Yue!"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "Yu'er, don't be reckless. Yafu received the news that Tian Rong was reluctant to move out of Linzi for a long time. There are still signs of secretly mobilizing the army and food in the country. He is about to move at the moment. Pengcheng is too close to the border of Qi State. Before the hidden danger of Tian Rong is solved, we must not send troops elsewhere!"

Xiang Yu was also quite helpless about this. Since Xiang Liang's death, he had formed a deep hatred with Tian Rong, so he was suppressed when he was entrusted.But Tian Rong obviously didn't buy it, and it seemed that he wanted to attack the Western Chu Kingdom.

Xiang Yu knew very well, what would it mean if Tian Rong was an opponent?Pengcheng's security will be greatly threatened.If they attack the Yue State, the troops of the Western Chu State will be concentrated in the Jiangdong area in the south, and the north will be empty, and Pengcheng will be directly exposed to the powerful Qi army. This risk is too great.Any commander dare not easily abandon the defense of the capital and lead the army to attack!This matter is indeed disturbing.

Fan Zeng said: "Pu Jun took advantage of the fact that we had not yet controlled all the territory, so he slipped south. If Yin Xu was with him, the journey would be much smoother. Although the Yue Kingdom has only [-] troops, they are all elites. Yin Xu's military talent is excellent. You know it, so don't act rashly!"

Xiang Yu sighed: "Then how do we do things now? Ya Fu!"

Fan Zeng sighed: "As for the assassination of Emperor Yi, it depends on how Yin Xu handles it, and let Huan Chu adapt accordingly. If he returns to Yue State safely, then he can only... I have Tian Rong in Chu State to hold me back, so isn't Yue State also? ?"

Xiang Yu said: "Yafu mean Minyue and Dongou?"

Fan Zeng nodded and said, "The letter implies that Wu Zhu and Si Yao, if they can carve up and cross the old land, the Western Chu Kingdom will not interfere!"

Xiang Yu said happily: "Okay, Wu Zhu and Si Yao are not weak, they can hold Yin Xu for a long time, and when Tian Rong is taken care of here, they will take him down by the way."

"That's right!" Fan Zeng ordered: "There is also Zhihui Yingbu, if Yin Xu doesn't do anything, let him solve Xiong Xin, leaving him will always be troublesome!"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Naturally!"

Fan Zeng slowly closed his eyes, thinking about the current situation in his heart. Tian Rong, Yin Xu, and Liu Bang, who is far away in Bashu and has not changed for the time being, are the three biggest threats to his Western Chu Kingdom. There is only one Xiang Yu's road to hegemony can be stable only if he has only one dish.

For the current plan, I only hope that luck will be better, and I will have enough time and energy to break through each one!
