Competing

Chapter 336 Accidental Discovery
Because of Concubine Yu, a big conflict broke out between Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Fan Zeng, his sub-father.After having disagreements before, Fan Zeng always comforted himself while sighing helplessly. Xiang Yu was just young and energetic, and he would change in the future.But up to now, Xiang Yu has reached such a high position, and has experienced countless ups and downs, big and small, so it stands to reason that he should be restrained and sensible, but as always, Fan Zeng is inevitably disappointed and helpless.

After many things in the past, Xiang Yu was always able to discover his mistakes belatedly, and felt the correctness and wisdom of Yafu's strategy.For the remorse and apology that he had not listened to, Fan Zeng would also forgive him for this reason, and Bowie tried his best to help him make amends.The relationship between them has not been damaged, as always, the father and son are deeply affectionate and cooperate with each other tacitly.

But this time, it doesn't seem to be the case, because the core of the matter has changed.On the matter of Yu Ji and his relationship, Xiang Yu absolutely cannot make any concessions.It is this persistence that distinguishes him from the previous ones, so he will no longer actively realize his mistakes as before, and thus quickly reconcile with Fan Zeng.

It was also for this reason that today's incident was very sad for Fan Zeng, and the disappointment and helplessness made this ancient and rare old man almost exhausted physically and mentally.The disagreement between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng has been going on for a long time, but it was not obvious before, and there was no adverse effect.But from today onwards, things will be very complicated, and there will be cracks in the relationship between them.

This rift army is like a crack in the ice layer. As time goes by and the pressure continues to increase, the crack will continue to grow.It can be said that the foreshadowing of a crisis in the upper echelons of the Western Chu Kingdom has been planted, and it will be revealed someday in the future.

This contradiction or rift originated from Concubine Yu, just like in history, Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu were destined to be disharmonious because of Concubine Yu.Once the crack in the smile is destined to be exploited, a small problem will be infinitely magnified and eventually become a fatal problem.Historically, these problems between Concubine Yu and Fan Zeng were discovered by Chen Ping, and the plan of separation offered by Chen Ping was the result of disharmony among the upper classes of the Western Chu Kingdom.

At that time, the Han Dynasty had Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Han Xin...many talents, and the counselor Xiang Yu trusted was Fan Zeng.It was Chen Ping's estrangement that resulted in disharmony between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.Disharmony naturally means distrust. To a certain extent, Xiang Yu can be said to have lost his right-hand man, and without a huge support, he will fall faster!In particular, Fan Zeng was depressed because of this, and died after the onset of back gangrene, which was an extremely huge blow to Western Chu and Xiang Yu.

But at this moment, this contradiction has already appeared, and whether Chen Ping has grasped it is still unknown.But now he is not under the command of Liu Bang, the king of Han, but in Shanyin, the capital of Yue, and is loyal to Yin Xu, the king of Yue. So what will happen in the future?Will it still be staged as always?What was the result?Who will be the beneficiary?These are unpredictable now!

Both Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng realized that if it broke out today, things might get out of hand.The affection and needs between each other still exist, and we can't make it too rigid, so we all try our best to restrain it.Maybe they all have the same idea, that is, don't make trouble with each other, give each other a little time to think, and continue to comfort each other after the incident, and seek each other's understanding.But the root of things has always been there, nothing has changed on this point, and there will always be some trouble in the future.

Contradictions and problems are like volcanoes, which can only be temporarily dormant, not completely dead.One day in the future, it may still erupt, but I don't know whether the impact and damage of this eruption will be large or small?After all, the size of this destructive power, in addition to God's will, there are many human factors!
Fan Zengcheng sighed, a little disheartened, turned around and left.The crutch made a thumping sound on the ground, very heavy and messy.It can be seen that Fan Yafu's mood at this time, the stumbling steps are a bit messy, and even swaying from side to side.Especially after walking not far away, the coughing sound was even more unbearable.Looking from a distance, the pale hair, the old figure, and the already bent back, the dying years are probably the most suitable descriptions.

Standing at the door, Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng's leaving back, and couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little bit unbearable.After all, Fan Zeng is already such an old age, and he has always been wholehearted to himself since he came out of the mountain. It can be said that he has devoted all his efforts and efforts.It is no exaggeration to say that without Fan Zeng, it would be very difficult for Xiang Yu to get to where he is today.It is very difficult to become the overlord of Western Chu and have such brilliant achievements today.

Xiang Yu knew that Fan Zeng was doing it for his own good, and he couldn't bear to contradict him and hurt him, but today... regarding Yu Ji's matter, Xiang Yu loved the beauty, so naturally he didn't want her to be wronged, and naturally refused to give in.Moreover, he felt that Fan Zeng's experience was a bit unreasonable, and loving Yu Ji did not mean that state affairs would be neglected because of this. He thought Fan Zeng's worries were purely superfluous, so he disagreed with him from the bottom of his heart.

When Fan Zeng said that when the queen was established before, he already disagreed and was not happy.But out of respect for Fan Zeng's opinion, he endured and agreed.From his point of view, he was already very polite, but Fan Zeng didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and today's statement was a bit over the top.In particular, Yu Ji was said to be a troublesome beauty, which greatly stimulated Xiang Yu's sensitive nerves.

At this moment, Xiang Yu felt a little contradictory. He felt that Fan Zeng was old, and he was a little baffled about many things.Maybe I should need more counselors to help me refer to opinions.Having such an idea is not to distrust Fan Zeng, but to prevent problems before they happen. Maybe Fan Zeng should let him take good care of his life when he is old, or maybe he will die at some point, and he always needs some talents around him. Even a backup is fine.

Except for Xiang Yu, most of them are fierce generals, and their military operations are all top-notch, but when it comes to political strategies, they are still far behind.Therefore, the Western Chu Kingdom has no shortage of generals, but what it lacks are counselors who are good at strategizing.It's a pity that except for Fan Zeng, no one can take on the heavy responsibility.Not long ago, Wu She, a native of Xu/Yi, came to serve. He is a strategist with a lot of knowledge and resourcefulness, and he has gradually been reused.But this person is weak and not enough at all...

In fact, there is a suitable candidate in Xiang Yu's heart, and that is Chen Ping.Chen Ping has been loyal to his subordinates since Jiang Dong, and his knowledge and resourcefulness are obvious to all. If this person is used in training, he can take on great responsibilities.The Jiangdong Group in the Xiang family used to have a lofty status, but it has never been particularly well reused.

On the one hand, because Fan Zeng was a counselor at that time, the existence and status of other people would inevitably be weakened and affected, even if they were talented, they would be covered up.On the other hand, because Chen Ping's reputation and character are not very good, people are a little afraid to let him use it at ease. There are still people who have heard about Chen Ping stealing his wife.

Now, after a small rift appeared between He and Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu thought of Chen Ping and felt that it was time to reuse him.However, since the enfeoffment of Guanzhong, Chen Ping resigned and went home to visit relatives, but it has been several months, and Chen Ping still has not returned.Now is the time to employ people, what happened to Chen Ping?
Xiang Yu felt that he should send people from the whole district to investigate and see if something happened to Chen Ping's family.If possible, I should ask him to come back earlier.Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu at this time, could not have imagined that Chen Ping, whom he wanted to entrust with a heavy responsibility, was already in the Yin City of Jiangdong Mountain in the distance, and at this moment was in the Palace of Yue, busy, advising others.

It's hard to imagine how Xiang Yu would react if he knew where Chen Ping was going.How did he know that Mr. Chen Ping has the world in his heart and great ambitions, and he is not willing to be inferior to others at all. It seems a bit late to invite him now.The so-called employing people is not suspicious, but because of Chen Ping's past experience, he was hesitant and refused to reuse them.Now in times of crisis, I think of others.On the other hand, looking at Yue Wang Yinxu, since the first day of Chen Ping's attachment, he has believed deeply, and he is like a right-hand man. Now he is in harmony with the monarch and his ministers, one is bright, the other is loyal, and the perfect cooperation is developing the greatest effect.

When Xiang Yu was planning here, Xiang Yu walked away slowly with a cane, and walked out alone.For a long, long time, Fan Zeng was unwilling to go back to the room, and he kept the water and rice empty, without any thoughts.It's just a person standing on a high platform, silently, and no one is allowed to disturb.No one heard it, silent sighs kept coming out...

Fan Yafu stood on the high platform for a whole afternoon. The sun was setting and the evening wind was blowing. Fortunately, it was summer and it was quite cool.In this way, until the night came, and the stars appeared, Fan Yafu started his favorite thing, that is stargazing... Passers-by were a little strange, why did Fan Yafu come so early today for stargazing? ?
In fact, Fan Zeng had no intention of watching the stars today, but after the dispute with Xiang Yu, he was in a different state of mind.Standing here, Fan Zeng was reflecting on his own work, but he was not recognized for Xiang Yu, which made him very sad.He has also realized that there is a problem with his way of speaking. It seems that he needs to communicate with Xiang Yu after a while.

Fan Zengcheng sighed, as if he had no choice but to do so, there was nothing he could do!When he looked up again, the sky was already full of stars, so Fan Yafu took a look at today's sky.There is a guest star on the border of Chu State, which naturally represents the dispatch of troops by Tian Rong of Qi State...

Suddenly Fan Zeng's gaze fell to the western sky, where another star suddenly appeared, brighter and more shining!Fan Yafu's eyes widened suddenly. This accidental discovery shocked him!
