Competing

Chapter 454 Countermeasures
Worrying can't solve things, and making corresponding arrangements for the current situation is the most important thing!
"Father Ya, the King of Yue has not agreed to marry the Han Kingdom for the time being, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future. The little princess of the Han Kingdom is still staying in Jiangdong Yue Kingdom!" Ji Bu still has great doubts about such a fact.Yue and Han have not completely cut off the possibility of marriage, so it is really unknown what will happen in the future.

He was a little worried that the current situation was just Yin Xu's delay.It may even be an illusion created by Yue Wang Yinxu and Han Wang Liu Bang. The purpose must be to deceive the Western Chu Kingdom, and it is self-evident what they want to do.

Yafu Fan Zeng shook his head lightly, probably no one cared more about this matter than him.Yue King Yin Xu has now surpassed Han King Liu Bang as the number one confidant, but this does not mean that Han will replace Han as the current number one enemy of Western Chu.

But if Han and Vietnam are in an alliance, it will be a very serious fact.So from the beginning, he paid close attention to it and made serious analysis and deduction. Fortunately, this kind of thing has not happened for the time being, and it will not happen for a long time in the future.

Fan Zeng said: "Don't worry too much about this matter. Even if the little princess of the Han Kingdom stays in Jiangdong, she won't have any status in a short time. It is impossible for the Yue Kingdom to form an alliance with the Han Kingdom, even if there is a so-called There is no covenant, and it is impossible to truly form an alliance, because the Yue Kingdom's western expedition appears to be heading for the Linjiang Kingdom, but in fact their real goal is the Han Kingdom!"

Everyone's heart moved, and they asked: "Yafu, what do you mean by this?"

Fan Zeng explained: "Yin Xu, king of Yue, warmly received Li Shiqi, but refused the marriage without hesitation. That is to say, the marriage with Han now hinders the development of Yue State's original plan. What will Yue State do next? Expedition to the west of Linjiang country... This is the problem! Have you noticed the location of Linjiang country? From Linjiang country to the west is Bashu, on the northwest side is Wuguan, you can enter Guanzhong, and on the northeast side is the river Luo area, these places are all under his Liu Bang's control."

"Could it be that the State of Yue wants to go to war with the State of Han? This seems impossible?" Zhong Limei has not yet figured out the key point.

Fan Zeng said: "It's not a war, but we can't completely deny the possibility. Han and Vietnam won't go to war now, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future. Have you come out yet? Whether it's Han or our Western Chu The country is now busy with the war in the Central Plains, and has no energy to govern the land south of the great river. His army is so strong that we can't interfere in the south now.

When he completely controls the south, the strength of the Yue Kingdom will expand to an extremely terrifying level.At that time, Yin Xu will watch us and Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty fight across the river, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work if we want to do this. If we destroy Liu Bang first, the land of the Central Plains will be in our hands. Most of his land in the east of the Yangtze River is forests and swamps. The population and resources are simply not comparable to ours, let alone the land of the Central Plains." Our opponents. If we wait like this for nothing, we might not get anything!"

That being said, Xiang Zhuang now subconsciously hopes that the West Chu Kingdom will win.In fact, Han Guo's victory is also the same situation, but this is not the result they want to see.

"No, this is exactly Yin Xu's brilliance, and it is also an important issue for his westward expedition." Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "Why didn't Yin Xu cross the river to the north after occupying our Jiangdong County? Because he knows very well what is happening now. He can't afford to mess with us, and because we have Liu Bang as an enemy, we don't have time to deal with him. So he took advantage of the quiet time in the Jianghuai area to complete his plan.

This time Liu Bang sent Li Shiqi to the south, and also handed over his sister-in-law to Yin Xu, didn't he just want to persuade Yin Xu to attack us from Huainan?But Yin Xu is not stupid, he has his own ideas and strategies.It is a pity that the State of Yue threatened us from Huainan, so this time we can also threaten Liu Bang from the area of ​​Linjiang State! "

Everyone began to understand the far-reaching strategy of Yue Wang Yinxu...

Fan Zeng continued: "The war in the Central Plains could have been resolved quickly, but now it seems that the time and cost will increase a lot. As we said earlier, a key factor affecting the outcome of the war is the princes of Hebei and the princes of the South. After Yin Xu took control of the entire south, the country of Yue would be able to influence the situation of the battle enough.

After his strength in the south expanded, he would attack and contain whoever won the victory of Chu and Han.What he hopes most is that Chu Han thought about being in an evenly matched state, with long-term battles and attrition, and one day we will not be his opponents.

When everyone heard Fan Zeng's words, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Yin Xu's intentions were not vicious!The country of Yue can really spend the best price and get the biggest benefit, what can people do?
Xiang Yu's heart was also very heavy. Originally, he was the only one in the Western Chu Kingdom, but after the battle of Pengcheng, the situation changed completely.I thought that the huge victory in the battle of Pengcheng could turn around this unfavorable situation, and I had already grasped the initiative in the war.However, with the Yue army's westward expedition, Yin Xu's advantage disappeared, and he fell into that very dangerous situation again, which even made him a little at a loss for a time, giving people a very bad feeling.

Xiang Yu knew that there was a feeling that he might become Yin Xu's defeat at some point.When fighting the Han army, he never took Liu Bang seriously.So even the 56 soldiers didn't have the slightest fear when facing the [-] army, but Yin Xu, who was only close to the [-] soldiers, didn't even really start a war with the Western Chu Kingdom, which made him feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. or worry about...

No, Xiang Yu immediately shook his head, I am the Overlord of Western Chu, the mighty, invincible Overlord of Western Chu, how can I fail?Yin Xu, you seem to have gained a lot now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?How did this work out?Don't know who will win?Xiang Yu didn't know if this was his true inner thoughts, or self-comfort, maybe he never wanted to think about it.

Ji Bu said: "Father Ya, why don't we take advantage of the emptiness in Jiangdong when the Vietnamese army is marching westward, and let's send troops south? At this time, it is possible to take back the two counties of Jiangdong, and even take back Fanyi and Sanyin."

The current situation in the South suddenly made them feel that the country of Yue is the biggest confidant. If the country of Yue is not resolved as soon as possible, the consequences will be very serious, even endangering national security. In the worst case, it will even rise to life and death the height of.

Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "The State of Yue may be a confidant, but it is not our greatest enemy at present. The soldiers in Huainan are not over yet, Peng Yue is still ready to move in the Waihuang area, Liu Bang is watching Xingyang, and there is still Han Xin's army in the east of the river. Sending troops south to fight at this time is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. The Yue Kingdom is not the Jiujiang Kingdom, especially when it comes to the issue of crossing the river, if it is delayed in the east of the river, the West Chu Kingdom will really be doomed."

"Forever!" What a frightening word!

"Then watching Yin Xu gradually grow up like this, making the Yue Kingdom a complete confidant's trouble?" Everyone was a little puzzled by this.

The overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, said: "Forget it, although the Yue Kingdom is powerful and threatening, we just have to face it squarely. It is absolutely impossible to blindly start another war in Jiangdong."

Fan Zeng also said: "This time, Yin Xu disclosed the identities of Li Si and Chen Ping. That is to say, he has nothing to fear. Now the Yue Kingdom will formally rise and join the competition of the world. The reason why he dared to go west Conquering Linjiang Kingdom, it is precisely because of our situation that we are sure that we will not go south."

This kind of feeling of being counted by others, knowing that it is counted by others, is very uncomfortable.But many times the fact is like this, and we can tolerate changes, so we have to silently accept such a fact.The helplessness of life is everywhere, Fan Zeng could only sigh softly to relieve the infinite depression in his heart.

"Why did Yin Xu move westward, and what consequences and impacts will it have? Liu Bang will get the news before us. What worries us most is not us, but Liu Bang, the king of Han. Presumably Liu Bang is having trouble sleeping and eating right now. Worried, they will naturally have some countermeasures and defensive methods, and they will definitely trouble Yin Xu for a while."

Fan Zeng said: "So this Western Expedition of the Vietnamese Army is equivalent to forming an alliance with us to contain the Han Kingdom to a certain extent. Should we stop such a thing? Wouldn't it be great to see it succeed?"

Zhong Li said: "But this is a problem of raising tigers, something will happen sooner or later!"

Fan Zeng said helplessly: "There is no way. Sometimes you know he is a tiger, but you still have to keep him. There is no way. Do things in order of priority. Fighting against the Han is the top priority now. We can't afford to lose our relationship with him." Take it lightly, we can't tolerate our clones, so if you see something, you can only treat it as if you didn't see it..."

What Fan Zeng said to everyone was extremely heavy and heartbreaking. The West Chu Kingdom, which was once extremely powerful, has come to this point.In fact, none of them noticed that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had already clenched his fists and rattled.It is not easy for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to learn to be patient and helpless, but now Yue Wang Yin Xu has really done it.

Fan Zeng noticed the unnaturalness in Xiang Yu's eyes, but he didn't say anything, because some things are inconvenient to say in front of the courtiers.

"Okay, now think about the countermeasures!"
