Competing

Chapter 252 Two Letters
After all, Xiong Xin is also a person of high intelligence, and he woke up when he heard Xiong Kang's words.Still thinking about the spring and autumn dream of making a comeback, but forgetting that the danger is by my side.

Not to mention Xiang Yu's resentment towards him because of Xiang Liang's death, but Xiang Yu's status today, his own existence is a kind of threat and embarrassment.In addition, the fuss of those old guys in Pengcheng earlier angered the arrogant Xiang Yu.Xiong Xin sneered in his heart, Xiang Yu had too many reasons to kill himself.

He didn't do anything before, or it was because he didn't have time to arrange it, or because he was in the territory of Western Chu State, to avoid suspicion.Now that the trip has entered Jiujiang, Chenzhou and Zhouzhou are still far away, and the road is full of remote places with few people. It would be very convenient for Xiang Yu to do it.In an instant, Xiong Xin felt a strong killing intent, and endless threats came from behind.

How to do?This is the most important problem Xiong Xin is facing now, and Xiong Xin was at a loss for a while.All the way south, he had only about a thousand guards, and his morale was low. It was not he alone, but a large number of former Chu state ministers who had to protect him.If Xiang Yu wants to deal with himself, he only needs to send a team, which is easy to do.How to do it?

Seeing this, Xiong Kang said: "Xin'er, why don't you follow your adoptive father and go to a place where other people are us, and live a peaceful life." For Xiong Kang, Xiong Xin's safety is the most important thing.Fistful and loving father's heart only wants to save the life of his adopted son. If he takes Xiong Xin alone, with his martial arts and ability, he still has confidence.

But Xiong Xin himself didn't think so. He only heard him say: "Father, my existence is always a threat to Xiang Yu. Unless I die, Xiang Yu will not feel at ease. So it is very likely that from the date we left Pengcheng Someone has secretly followed, so it is very difficult to leave secretly now. If you are not in this team, without the banner of Emperor Yi and the protection of the guards, it will be even more dangerous."

At this time, Xiong Xin regained his former wisdom and clarity, and carefully analyzed the matter.Regardless of the reason, there was finally a lot of radiance and hope in his eyes. After Xiong Kang saw it, his eyes flashed a trace of stability.At this moment, Xiong Xin was racking his brains, thinking about how to survive, that is to say, the hope of life was rekindled in his heart.As a father, he was very pleased with this.

But how to escape Xiang Yu's pursuit?The already difficult return road, coupled with many unstable factors, is really hard to feel at ease.For any strong person, or key figure, Xiang Yu and many other forces are paying attention.It is not easy to escape first.Especially people like Xiong Xin who are childish and special, or who have special identities.

Xiong Kang couldn't help feeling a little depressed, the fact that he was so depressed, he was worried and tried every means to keep Xiong Xinsheng's hope.But in the end, when the whole child wanted to survive, he found it so difficult.

Just listening to the analysis of the young and mature Xiong Xin: "Actually, Yu doesn't have to do it himself, he just needs to hint to his subordinates to do something. Especially the southern princes and kings, almost all of whom are Xiang Yu's former generals, now go to Chen What they pass through is their territory, if Xiang Yu really intends to intercept and kill them, he will not be able to escape Dede at all."

In a word, Xiong Xin seemed to return to the situation just now, and the pessimistic mood enveloped the whole body again.Xiong Kang felt unspeakable anxiety again.I only heard Xiong Xin continue to say: "Now that I am in the territory of Jiujiang, it is already in Yingbo's eyes. It is not surprising that I stared at it. Also, I heard that Yue King Yin Xu passed by and returned to Yue. What is the purpose of taking such a detour when Wei and his army headed south along the Binhai Road from Western Chu Kingdom?"

Immediately, Emperor Yi Xiong Xinyou sneered and said: "Getting along with Yin Xu and entrusting Shanyin to Yin Xu is just to stimulate the Xiang family. Unexpectedly, it has made him a success, but now it seems that the widow has fulfilled his wish."

Yue Wang Yinxu?Xiong Kang's heart moved, could it be that Yin Xu came to assassinate him?Xiong Kang's heart skipped a beat.He still remembers all kinds of things in Xu, Yi and Pengcheng.They all know Yin Xu's strength and uniqueness.If the assassination is really presided over by Yin Xu, who can escape?
But Xiong Kang also secretly rejoiced that Yin Xu came.Think back when Xiong Xin was King Huai of Chu, he treated Yin Xu pretty well.Moreover, Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai, was able to go back, and it was also Yin Xu who found it first.It can be said that among the many generals under the command of the original Chu army, Yin Xu and Xiong Xin have the closest relationship.

Moreover, Xiong Kang has also secretly observed that Yin Xu is a man of temperament, if he misses some old love.At that time, I will be moving with emotion and reason, and sincere pleading may not be without a chance?Is it better than the unreasonable and domineering Xiang Yu?

Xiong Xin himself really had a different feeling, thinking that he started out as a cowherd boy in the land of Jiujiang County, and went out.Now that he has returned to this land, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end.It was Yin Xu who found him back then, and restored him to the aura of the grandson of King Huai. Now it is up to him to end all this, which can be regarded as a reincarnation of fate.

For a while, Xiong Xin, Xiong Kang and his son had many inexplicable thoughts in their hearts, which were extremely complicated.

……

Emperor Yi passed through the Jiujiang Kingdom, and the Jiujiang King Yin Xu did not come to see him off in person, but he paid a lot of attention secretly.It all started from Xiang Yu's suggestion in Guanzhong that he and Yue King Yin Xu, or the other two princes in the south, intercepted and killed Emperor Yi.

To be honest, what kind of heart Xiang Yu has, I can't guess it with Yingbo's ingenuity, but sometimes there are many things that he knows are going to be fooled, but he still has to be willing to get involved.This is the case with Yingbo at this time.

Thinking back when Xiang Yu ordered him to lead his troops to attack the fierce Hangu Pass, he knew that Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng wanted to consume the strength of their non-directed generals.The purpose is clear at a glance, and now that the assassination of Emperor Yi is handed over to him, it is obviously uneasy and kind.

The reason why Ying Bu knew that it was difficult at this time, but he had to obey orders was simple. It was because of the situation in Jiujiang.The north is all bordered by Xiang Yu's West Chu State, and the six counties of the capital are exposed to the powerful offensive of West Chu State. The danger can be defended, how to resist the army of the Western Chu State?This is a very tricky question.

In history, Yingbo once vacillated between Chu and Han, which angered Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Xiang Yu sent Long Qie to lead his army to attack Jiujiang.Yingbo's combat ability is not weaker than that of Longqi, but he has no power to fight back under the attack of the Western Chu army.The result can be imagined, this is the best proof.

The Western Chu State is a great threat to the Nine and Jiang States, but in turn, the Nine and Jiang States are not a threat to the Western Chu State?Xiang Yu will be afraid of Yingbu because of this, and it is possible to act first to eliminate hidden dangers.Yingbo also deeply realized this point. When he did not have the strength to confront the powerful Western Chu, he could only reduce the threat in Xiang Yu's heart as soon as possible.

Specifically, the first thing to do is to be obedient and obedient. Since Xiang Yu ordered to intercept and kill Emperor Yi, he knew it was inappropriate, but he still had to do it if there was a risk.Only in this way can Xiang Yu be satisfied. Yes, Xi Chu Guo and Jiu Jiang Guo are in a honeymoon period.The second is self-pollution, which has been used by courtiers of all dynasties, including some well-known figures, so that the king can catch some not serious handles and win more trust.

Intercepting and killing Emperor Yi, once exposed, will inevitably be reviled and criticized by the people of the world. This matter is very risky, and participating in it can be regarded as a kind of self-defilement.I hope to gain Xiang Yu's tolerance so that I can gain a firm foothold in Jiujiang.

When I was thinking of doing this, a letter from Xiang Yu arrived again, and Xiang Yu told Yingbo to let him pay close attention to Emperor Yi's movements.As for the interception, let Yue Wang Yinxu do it first, and if Yin Xu is unsuccessful in the interception, let him do it again.

Upon receiving such a piece of news, Yingbo didn't dance excitedly, feeling relieved.Obviously Xiang Yu wanted to put the blame on Yin Xu, and he was just playing a backup role.Obviously, in the eyes of Xiang Yu and his father Fan Zeng, Yin Xu's threat is far greater than himself.Although the size of the Yue Kingdom's fiefdom and national strength are not comparable to the Jiu/Jiang Kingdom, no one will underestimate the Yue Kingdom, and no one dares to underestimate the Yue Kingdom.

Because the vassal king of Yue State is Yin Xu, a rather legendary figure.Yingbo and Yin Xu got acquainted relatively early. They met in Peng Lizepan's cave as early as when the Qin army attacked the Eastern bandits.

Since then, Yingbo has seen Yin Xu's extraordinaryness. It can be said that Yingbo is one of the few people who know Yin Xu best in this world.More than a hundred people dealt with tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, from a helper to a general, a lord with thousands of households, and finally became a vassal king. These achievements are indeed extraordinary.

The most worth mentioning is Yin Xu's combat ability, whether it is commanding operations or planning strategies, it is first-class. This may be the most dreadful thing about Yin Xu.Therefore, Xiang Yu listed Yin Xu as the number one threat, and Yingbo was completely understandable.

And this is also beneficial and harmless to him. After Xiang Yu regards Yin Xu as the first threat, he will pay much less attention and suspicion to Jiu/Jiang Kingdom and himself.In this regard, Yingbo is happy to see it succeed.

Of course, at the time of enfeoffment, Xiang Yu deliberately enfeoffed the old land of Fanyi east of Peng Lize to Yin Xu, and Yingbu knew it well.It stands to reason that it was the place where his father-in-law rose up, and it should have belonged to his own fiefdom, but it was given to the Yue Kingdom.On the one hand, there are too few lands south of the Zhejiang River, and with the east of Peng Lize, the fiefdom of the Yue Kingdom looks decent.

Secondly, Yingbo knew very well that Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng did this on purpose to provoke conflict between himself and Yin Xu.Although Yingbo wanted to use Panyi as a guard for himself, he was not stupid, at least he would not be fooled by Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng now, and he and Yin Xu made a big move on this, which benefited the fisherman of the Western Chu Kingdom.

With Yin Xu, Yingbo didn't want to quarrel too much with the Yue State. On the contrary, if the West Chu State is too powerful, and if Xiang Yu is as domineering as before, there is still a possibility of cooperation between the Jiu/Jiang State and the Yue State.Therefore, Yingbo will not offend Yin Xu early because of this, which is obviously an unwise behavior.

What's more, before Hangu Pass, Yin Xu did him a favor by learning about a small road leading to Hangu Pass from Zhang Han, thus successfully passing through the pass and reducing losses.Yingbo still keeps this favor in his heart.As for the union between himself and his wife Wu Mei, Yin Xu can be regarded as a half-matchmaker. With these kindnesses, Ying Bu still remembers Yin Xu's kindness to some extent, thinking about when he can repay it.

With these connections and bonds, there is a special tacit understanding between Yingbo and Yinxu.In the matter of intercepting Emperor Yi, Yingbo knew that Yin Xu must not be very happy, and he had no choice but to do so.Otherwise, they would not be forced to join their own army, and go south to detour to Linjiang and Jiu/Jiang.

Xiang Yu deliberately put this matter on Yin Xu's head, but is Yin Xu the kind of obedient and obedient person?Ying Bu didn't know what Yin Xu would do. Since Xiang Yu meant to let Yin Xu do it first, it was up to Yin Xu to do it.

Yingbo came back from the Central Plains, and the journey was relatively close, and he moved quickly to return to Jiujiang.Now Emperor Yi is within his fiefdom, and yesterday he received news that Yue King Yin Xu has also entered the range of his Nine and Jiang Kingdoms.It seems that a storm is inevitable, and no one can predict how things will develop.

Yingbo now only hopes that Yin Xu will not be too unexpected, and don't make things difficult for himself, alas!In the final analysis, everything is caused by Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng... In this era of warring for hegemony, strength is always the most important thing.

Yingbo received Han Xin from Xiang Yu, and Yue Wang Yinxu also received it.

When receiving the letter, Su An smiled: "It seems that Xiang Yu is really uneasy and kind. The letter can be delivered so accurately, which shows that he has been paying attention to the king's actions. Then the last ambush in Linjiang must be him." What a mess."

Yin Xu smiled lightly, and said: "It doesn't matter, the whereabouts can't be hidden from him after all, so it doesn't matter."

Yue King Yin Xu, who had passed Linjiang Kingdom safely and entered the territory of Jiujiang Kingdom, was very relaxed.The reason why the ambushes and interceptions on the road were not taken seriously was because of the strict protection of Su An and the Thousand Yue Kingdom Guards.The second Biansi is the master Deng Lingmo who has been hiding in the dark and has never shown up.Yin Xu believed that with them there, he didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he acted calmly.

It was expected that Xiang Yu would keep an eye on his whereabouts and intercept and kill him on the way, so Yin Xu was not surprised at all.As for this letter, the content gave Yin Xu a little headache, and Xiang Yu deliberately hinted again that he would kill Emperor Yi Xiong Xin.Now that Xiong Xin happened to be in Jiujiang Country, this time Xiang Yu said it very bluntly, and Yin Xu had to seriously plan this matter.

Su An was rather annoyed when he saw it: "Even if Xiang Yu wants to kill Emperor Yi, he can kill someone with a knife, Jiu, Jiang Wang Yingbu is a landlord, isn't it more suitable than the king? Why did you send a special letter?"

Yin Xu smiled lightly, his heart was like a mirror. In history, it was Jiu and Jiang Yingbu who intercepted the former King Huai of Chu and the current Yi Emperor Xiong Xin.Now because of his own existence, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng made those wishful thinking again, so it fell on him.At that time in Guanzhong, although Xiang Yu hinted that all the five princes in the south should participate, but Yin Xu knew very well that he must be the protagonist, and Yingbo would be the first supporting role.

Let him intercept and kill Emperor Yi, the crime of killing the king will definitely not escape, Fan Zeng is really treacherous.Since Xiang Yu was able to grasp his position so clearly, it is inevitable that Lu Matong's assassination in Linjiang State failed last time, and there will be no more conspiracy.Assassinating Emperor Yi is the best conspiracy and excuse, so Yin Xu must handle this matter carefully, if he is not careful, he will cause trouble.

Speaking of killing Yidi Xiong Xin, Yin Xu really couldn't bear it. After all, Xiong Xin was only a teenager.It's not fair to a kid that he carries too many burdens that are not appropriate for his age and himself.

Xiong Xin was doomed to be a puppet from the very beginning, even though he fought hard and kept trying to play tricks to seize power.But he failed in front of the powerful Xiang Yu and the scheming and cunning Song Yi.So much so that it has fallen to the point where it seems that it has the most respected status in the world, but it can't even save its life.Its pathetic degree can be imagined, the lion is embarrassing.

Speaking carefully, Xiong Xin's life tragedy is closely related to himself.If he and Chen Ping hadn't come out to look for him, he might still be that carefree cowherd boy in the mountains, why did he end up in this situation today.So Yin Xu felt guilty towards Xiong Xin in his heart, and Chen Ping also felt it, so he specially asked Yin Xu to help Xiong Xin as soon as possible and leave him a way out.

Yin Xu didn't think so, but it was easier said than done, and now the people who intercepted and killed Emperor Yi fell on his shoulders.But Yin Xu does not think that Yingbo, who is the first supporting role, did not participate.

Yingbo is a landlord, and he assassinated Emperor Yi on the territory of Jiu and Jiang, so it is impossible for him not to know.Moreover, Xiang Yu couldn't be completely assured of himself, if he didn't do it himself, he wouldn't let Xiong Xin go easily.So even if you don't do it yourself, someone else will do it for you. This candidate is undoubtedly Yingbo.

Yin Xu guessed that Yingbo might have received a similar letter. If he didn't act, Xiong Xin would die as well.Both Yingbo and Xiang Yu will send people to monitor Xiong Xin and his every move, so it is really difficult to save Xiong Xin's life.

At this moment, Yin Xu is really in a dilemma, how should he proceed in this matter?He walked aside alone and meditated silently.After a long time, an idea flashed in my mind, this might be an opportunity, but before that, I had to meet someone first.

Inadvertently, Yin Xu hung a red ornament on his horse, and he believed that Mr. Zhong Yin, who was following secretly, would definitely see it.

At the same time, another letter was delivered. After Yin Xu read it, the unhappiness on his face was wiped away, replaced by a heart full of joy.I only heard that he laughed and said: "Good Pu Jun, God really helped me!"
