Competing

Chapter 552
Whether it was persuasion or reporting, Xiang Yu's reaction was very mechanical and completely useless.Seeing Yu Ji walking in, Yu Ziqi reluctantly got up and left, and came to the door.

"How is it?" Yu Ji asked with her vermilion lips lightly. Seeing her brother's gloomy face, Yu Ji suddenly felt a lot lost.The recent situation of Xiang Yu is really worrying.

Yu Ziqi shook his head lightly, looking very helpless, Xiang Yu's current reaction was really depressing and helpless.

"Ah!" The number one beauty in the Western Chu Kingdom also sighed softly. When it comes to worrying about Xiang Yu, he may be more worried than Yu Ziqi and others.Xiang Yu is immersed in sadness these days, but what about her?One is sad, the other is worried about Xiang Yu, and the third is to take good care of the children, which is also not easy.

Yu Ziqi said: "Sister, go and persuade me. I've been talking for a long time and it doesn't seem to have much effect. If it continues like this, it's not a solution. You know more about Bawang, and he seems to listen to you. Go try it." Try it!"

Concubine Yu nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll try my best to persuade him. The overlord is in such a state these days, so it's more troublesome for my brother and Xiang Zhuang to deal with military and political matters." Naturally, concubine Yu is obliged to deal with these matters.

"Naturally, don't worry!" After saying hello, Yu Ziqi went out to leave.

Yu Ji felt the most clearly about Xiang Yu's recent changes caused by grief.She originally thought that Xiang Yu was very strong, as long as he was given enough time, Xiang Yu would be able to recover, but in fact it didn't seem to be so smooth.At this moment, as the closest pillow person, he discovered that her husband's mighty appearance is sometimes very fragile.

Concubine Yu is also very clear that the situation in Western Chu is very bad now, especially when Yafu and Longqi passed away one after the other, the pressure caused is even greater.The more it is like this, the more careful it is to deal with it. Now is the time when Xiang Yu needs to cheer up, but his current appearance is really worrying.Not to mention the loss of the backbone among the monarchs and ministers, if it spreads to the army and the people, it will inevitably cause serious panic.

At this moment, Xiang Yu is too important to the Western Chu Kingdom.Therefore, the husband must be persuaded as soon as possible. If this continues, it is really not a solution.

"Overlord, are you still sad for Yafu?" Yu Ji stepped forward and asked softly.

Xiang Yu nodded lightly, without making any other movements, not even looking back at Yu Ji.How long this state has lasted, even he himself does not know.

Yu Ji came to sit next to Xiang Yu and said, "I know Bawang and Yafu have a deep relationship with father and son, and Yafu has always loved Bawang. Think about it, if Yafu is in another world and see Bawang like this, will he be sad?" Woolen cloth?"

"Sad?" Maybe it was because he did too many things to make Fan Zeng sad, and Xiang Yu regretted it, but it was too late.It's completely helpless now.Therefore, when Yu Ji mentioned making Fan Zeng sad, Xiang Yu's heart was touched involuntarily.

Yu Ji knew so much about Xiang Yu, and she clearly grasped the softest part of Xiang Yu's heart when she opened her mouth, and found a good breakthrough.Seeing that Xiang Yu's heart had been opened, Yu Ji continued: "Overlord, in order to make Yafu feel at ease, we shouldn't continue to be so sad now. On the contrary, should we do something to make Yafu happy?"

"This..." Xiang Yu hesitated slightly: "Something that makes Yafu happy?"

Concubine Yu nodded lightly: "Yeah, Yafu told the Bawang so many things when he was dying, but the Bawang remembered it all? Now that he has confessed these things, it means that he hopes that the Bawang will do this. Should we follow his old man? His last wish, to make his spirit in heaven happy?"

"Yafu's confession?" Xiang Yu seemed to be muttering to himself, but his heart had already begun to loosen.

"Yeah, it's very important that Yafu specially told the Overlord, and the Overlord shouldn't disappoint Yafu's good intentions and earnest teaching." Yu Ji continued: "Think about when Yafu was dying, he still couldn't forget to serve Xichu. The country's plan, presumably his old man's plans and strategies are very useful. Now the situation is not good, should the Overlord obey Yafu's last words and act according to the plan?"

Xiang Yu finally frowned, a little moved.What is it that I am so purely sad?Fan Yafu didn't do a single thing well, so how could it continue like this?
Concubine Yu was overjoyed when she saw this, and continued: "Overlord, you are the backbone of the West Chu Kingdom. Now all the officials and soldiers regard you as the core. Now the West Chu Kingdom is in a bad situation. , they need a strong overlord who will act according to the strategy left by Yafu and lead them out of the predicament."

Only then did Xiang Yu suddenly realize that he had been immersed in grief these days, so he had neglected many things.If you are tired of the government, you don't talk about it, and you ignore the feelings of the people around you.In fact, in his subconscious mind, he was not more mourning for Fan Zeng's death, but a kind of fear of the bleak future... Before that, at least there had been Fan Zeng at the helm and leader, and he had never deviated from the direction.But now, the big ship of the Western Chu Kingdom is drifting around in the storm, and it may get lost or capsize at any time.How to control it well and get through the difficulties smoothly really makes people feel confused and under great pressure.

It is not a way to escape like this all the time. Now I need to find some way by myself. It will not work if this matter is not resolved.

The dead are the greatest, but doing things is not for the dead but for the living. Fan Yafu's death is already an indisputable fact.But the West Chu Kingdom is still there, and there are still many people waiting for him. What needs to be considered now is the interests of the entire West Chu Kingdom, life and death, and the fulfillment of Fan Yafu's will.

"Did Yu Ziqi come here just now?" Xiang Yu raised his head and asked, he vaguely remembered that Yu Ziqi said a lot by his side, but he couldn't remember the specific content clearly.

Concubine Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiang Yu's eyes were very different from before, and it seemed that the persuasion had worked.

"Yes, my brother came here just now to report to you about Qi's affairs!" Yu Ji replied with a slight smile.

Xiang Yu nodded and said: "Let him come back, I have something to discuss with him now..."

"Ok!"

Yu Ziqi came back soon, he was very worried about Xiang Yu's situation, and he also looked forward to the result of Yu Ji's persuasion.So as soon as he received the notice, he rushed back quickly. Seeing that Ende Xiang Yu's mental state was very different from before, he couldn't help but feel happy.That wise and mighty Overlord of Western Chu has finally returned...

"Yu Ziqi, you've worked hard these days!" Xiang Yu raised his head and smiled slightly. Now that Fan Zeng and Long Qie were gone, this uncle was the most important courtier.Especially when Fan Zeng was dying, he specifically told Yu Ziqi to be cautious and capable in handling things, which should be of great use.

Yu Ziqi shook his head lightly and said, "It's not hard work, it's the minister's duty!"

Xiang Yu didn't want to be too polite with him, and immediately asked, "What's the situation over there in Qi?"

Yu Ziqi replied: "Liu Bang canonized Han Xin as the king of Qi, it is a certainty!"

Xiang Yu said with a smile: "It seems that what Yafu said is correct. Liu Bang and Han Xin are indeed at odds. Otherwise, Liu Bang would not have foolishly conferred the Marshal of the Han Army as the King of Qi. Maybe it was the result of Han Xin's threats and persecution..."

"Yes, there is news that Han Xin is indeed at odds with Liu Bang. It is said that Liu Bang canonized several generals under Han Xin's command as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. As a result, Han Xin increased the fiefdoms and food towns of those people a lot. Also, I heard that Liu Bang deliberately I found a queen for Han Xin from Xingyang, but Han Xin was not deserted, he was only conferred as his wife symbolically, and now he is neglected..." Yu Ziqi said: "From the above points, it can be seen that Han Xin treats Liu Bang very well. Disrespectful, the relationship between each other is only a nominal relationship between monarch and minister, in fact..."

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "Actually, one is rebellious and the other is very angry, but due to the situation, no one broke out. But judging from the current situation, it seems that Han Xin is better, so this matter has to be worth taking advantage of." Yes, Yafu has already explained this."

"Yes, are you going according to the plan?" Yu Ziqi felt warm in his heart at this moment, the Overlord finally recovered completely.

Xiang Yu nodded and said: "It is necessary to lobby Han Xin, but who should be sent to lobby? I also need an eloquent like Li Shiqi."

Yu Ziqi said: "I don't know what the overlord thinks of a subject?"

"Who?"

"Wu She!"

Wu She, a native of Xu/Yi, defected to Xiang Yu very early.However, because of his limited level of resourcefulness, or because Fan Zeng's brilliance is too dazzling, he has never had the opportunity to show his face.However, his good eloquence is famous, and this matter can be said to be well known.Now that Fan Zeng is gone, we will have to rely on these people in the future.

Especially this time as an envoy to Qi, lobbying Han Xin is the top priority, and a suitable candidate must be found.Xiang Yu was also quite familiar with Wu She, and since Yu Ziqi was able to say it, he must have his reasons, so he was quite reliable.

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let Wu She go! I don't have high demands, and I don't mean to persuade Han Xin to raise troops to completely rebel against the Han. At least let him not be an enemy of us and stabilize the rear..."

Yu Ziqi nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements for this matter."

Xiang Yu nodded and said: "Also, now that the army is preparing for war, if Wu She's lobbying in Qi has any effect, he will immediately attack Liu Bang. At that time, the news of Yafu's death will be announced, and then the momentum of mourning soldiers and Liu Bang Fight."

"Okay!" Now that Xiang Yu has made such a decision, Yu Ziqi will naturally not object, but is still a little relieved.Xiang Yu dared to announce the news of Fan Zeng's death, which shows that he has enough confidence and courage to face it, and the road ahead will be a firm one.
