Competing

Chapter 276
For the actions of the third brother Fan Wenke, Fan Wenxuan has always looked down on him. In his opinion, Fan Wenxuan's actions are all small troubles.He almost devoted all his family's strength in Qidi, first to support Song Yi and other clowns, and that's all if he failed.

Now he is still impulsively avenging him, and going all out to help Tian Rong deal with Xiang Yu.Fan Wenxuan knew very well that the third brother wanted revenge, and of course the more important thing was to save face.He knew that Fan Wenke was deeply ashamed of the failure last time. He wanted to be ridiculed by himself and his family, so he had to make new achievements.

Such an idea was correct, but Fan Wenke was eager for quick success and chose the wrong method.It is not a wise choice to choose to fully support Tian Rong and let Qi and Xichu go to war.As far as the current situation is concerned, it is true that there must be a battle between Qi State and Yuexi Chu State, but this is only for Tian Rong.

In order not to be encroached and wiped out by Xiang Yu, Tian Rong and the forces of Qi they represent could only passively choose to go to war with Xiang Yu.What does this situation have to do with an investing businessman?Although Qi State is vast in land and rich in resources, it is still not as powerful as Western Chu State. What's more, Xiang Yu just destroyed Qin Dasheng and returned after enfeoffing the princes. He was at his sharpest and most imposing.

Although Qi State has the strength to fight, it is still weaker than Western Chu State.Of course, no matter who wants to win, it won't work in a short period of time. Although it won't be protracted, it is inevitable that the confrontation will kill a long period of time.As far as the present is concerned, it is very reasonable to think that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has a higher chance of winning.

It was under such circumstances that Fan Wenke made a decision that went against common sense, which was obviously too hasty and irrational.In fact, no one knew better than Fan Wenxuan why the third brother had such crazy behavior.

That's because of Fan Wenke's desire for power, he finally got the opportunity to be in charge of the power of the family, so naturally he would not let it go.At that time, it can be said that there were many compulsions in choosing Song Yi, and some of them were too difficult to ride a tiger.

Opportunities don't come easily, and Fan Wenke can get out of hand, unwilling to let go, to the point where he can't stop.It is precisely because of this that Fan Wenke cares about his hard work, and sometimes he is unwilling to let go even if he knows that there is little hope.

After experiencing a failure, he must have thought that his elder brother Fan Wenxuan and many people in the clan were watching his joke.For Fan Wenke, who is extremely face-loving, this is a great shame, so he tried every means to get back his face.Of course, the more important thing is to retain one's own power, because if Qidi's management is unsuccessful or has no results, then the management right will be taken back by the family sooner or later.All efforts will be in vain, if so, it may be more uncomfortable than killing him.

Therefore, Fan Wenke seems to have no other choice, but it seems that Brother Nine made mistakes from the beginning, and now he is more eager for quick success, so the possibility of success is naturally a little slim.For such a result, Fan Wenxuan could only sigh helplessly, Fan Wenke had been making a lot of troubles these years, which brought him a lot of trouble.

But after all, they are his younger brothers, so Fan Wenxuan has always tolerated them, and even risked giving them a certain amount of power, in order to make them retreat in spite of difficulties.But the development of the matter disappointed him very much, the third brother did not accept his feelings at all.

And the behavior is getting more and more excessive, Fan Wenxuan is slowly thinking now, since you are going to seek your own death, then just do whatever you want.The strength in the Qi country alone is nothing to the Fan family, even if they lose all of them, it doesn't matter, of course Dingtao is excluded.Anyway, those three people from the Qi Kingdom seem to have no hope now.

Fan Yilan almost felt the same way, and she didn't approve of the third uncle's attitude, but she had no choice but to sigh softly in the face of the third uncle's insistence on going his own way!

Fan Wenxuan had already given up on Qi Di, but it didn't mean he didn't care about anything.He only heard him ask: "Yilan, is everything okay in Dingtao? Is there any change?"

Fan Yilan replied: "Dad, don't worry, everything is fine now, with Fan Bai and Fan Jin taking care of it, there will be no problems. The third uncle can mobilize all the family resources in the territory of Qi, but Dingtao is an exception! "

Fan Wenxuan nodded lightly, Dingtao is of extraordinary significance to his Fan family.It has a close relationship with Wuhu Zhenze, the hometown of Yue, and the entire family and the ancestors of the Fan family.But this made them dare not take it lightly.

What's more, Dingtao has been in business for hundreds of years since its ancestors, and it is really deep-rooted there, and the family resources and strength stored are countless.Now more than one-third of the power of the Fan family is in Dingtao, which shows that Dingtao plays a pivotal role in the Fan family.

Furthermore, Dingtao is in Qidi, next to the land of the Central Plains, so its strategic significance is very important.Whether it is the mobilization and transfer of materials, or the collection of information, it is of great significance.That place is the strategic center of the Fan family in the Qi and Chu area, if something happens, the loss will be immeasurable.

Therefore, Fan Wenxuan can hand over all the resources and strength of the entire Qi country to his third brother Fan Wenke, but Dingtao absolutely does not allow them to get involved.It doesn't matter if the Fan family's strength in Qi is completely destroyed, but Dingtao cannot afford to lose, this is the bottom line that Fan Wenxuan must adhere to.

Therefore, he dispatched four of Zibaijinqing's confidants, "Platinum" to manage and protect Dingtao's strength, and at the same time monitor the third brother Fan Wenke!

Hearing what his daughter said, Fan Wenxuan felt relieved, as long as there is no problem with Dingtao, everything will be fine.

Fan Yilan said: "Father, Qi Guo has given up completely, so this family's choice...do you have a plan?"

Fan Yilan still didn't give up, she wanted to find out what her father said, and see if the Yin Xu she recommended was possible.

Fan Wenxuan smiled softly: "Then Yilan, analyze it, who can our family choose?"

Fan Yilan thought about it, isn't this embarrassing herself?From the very beginning, only Yin Xu was the one who really attracted his attention. Now that his father asked him to analyze, it is obviously inappropriate to answer like this.Therefore, we must give priority to well-founded analysis, and we should not be preconceived because of our own subjective opinions.

After Fan Wenxuan was seated, he slowly sipped from several teacups, enjoying the rare spring scenery comfortably, waiting for his daughter's answer.

I only heard Fan Yilan say: "This time Xiang Yu is entrusted with the enfeoffment, there are a total of nineteen princes and kings in the world. The original princes of the six countries have been hit hard, and the country has basically been divided. Compared with the previous strength, the strength has been greatly frustrated. Now Emperor Yi The original state of Chu is considered to be over. As for the princes of the other five countries, they are all mediocre people without outstanding talents. Let alone whether they have the idea of ​​fighting for the world, even if they do, they are basically Daydreaming, looking around, I can't see a hopeful one among the original princes."

"Where is the country of Wei?" For some reason, Fan Wenxuan specifically named this country, and Fan Yilan couldn't help being a little surprised.In an instant, he returned to the previous calm state, and analyzed: "If the Wei state in its heyday, perhaps still has the strength to fight, it is hard to say whether it will succeed. But now it is the Western Wei state, which is confined to the river. In the northern corner of the land, a large piece of land that was originally in the Central Plains was included in the scope of Xiang Yuxi Chu State, and even their capital, Daliang, was lost, so the Western Wei State might not be able to make much trouble. "

Fan Wenxuan chuckled, and said: "Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei, is just like Wei Bao. The terrain and fiefdoms of Western Wei are restricted, so it is okay to make some small profits from it. If you want to do something big, you may not be able to do it, but there is not only a Wei Wang Bao in Wei Guo, There are others who need to pay attention."

"Anyone else?" Fan Yilan was startled silently, then realized, what did his father mean by only asking about a Wei country?Obviously, it was not aimless and casual.Since it is possible to ask such a question, and now that it is being said, it proves that Wei Di may not be simple, and there may be something behind it.

Fan Yilan asked softly: "Father, is there someone else in Weidi?"

Fan Wenxuan nodded lightly and asked, "Yilan, do you know about the split of the Mohists?"

Inkist?Why did he get involved with Mo Zhe again? That's some kind of influence. It seems that things are a little complicated.Fan Yilan nodded slightly, and replied: "This daughter has heard about it. In the past, Mr. Mo Di created the Mohist school, and many people studied it. The Mohist study was also widely spread, and it flourished for a while. According to Confucianism Jimo.

Later, in the process of inheritance, in the face of changes in facts, Mohists had different opinions on many things.Especially in terms of political views, there was a big difference. Later, the Mohists split into three schools, mainly Dengling School, Xiangfu Family, and Xiangli Family.Among these three families, Deng Lingmo used to follow Mr. Fusu, and we are the most familiar.It is said that Fan Yafu next to Xiang Yu is from the Xiangfu family, but there is no news about Xiangli's family! "

Fan Wenxuan said softly: "The problem is with this Xiangli family, because there is something special about this Xiangli family?"

special?

Fan Wenxuan nodded and said: "That's right. The two things that Mr. Mo Di was most proud of in the past, one was his political views and knowledge, and the other was his skills in organs. The main reason for the Mohists' split was their different political views. Deng Lingmo and Xiangfu's It is the best example, not to mention some small factions. But in the fierce debate at that time, some people did not participate in it..."

Fan Yilan's eyes moved, and her father continued to say: "This group of people does not focus on knowledge and political opinions, but puts all their energy on the tricks left by Mr. Mo Di. Later, when the Mohists really split, these people Occupied a place among the split Mohist sects, and after years of inheritance, became one of the three Mohist sects, they are——Xiang Lishi!"
