Competing

Chapter 594 Who Sent the Book

Returning to Huainan Xu/Yi, Yue King Yin Xu felt a little heavy.

In any case, Xiang Yu's death always touched my heart a lot.

After King Yue returned safely, Zhang Han was completely relieved, and rushed over to meet King Yue immediately!Chen Ping, the prime minister who rushed to Huainan because of the renovation of Hangou, also hurried over after hearing the news that Yin Xu was going to Huaibei.

"Your Majesty, it's good to be back!"

After hearing this, Yin Xu understood that Zhang Han and Chen Ping were worried about their own safety, so he nodded slightly.

"My lord, it is inevitable that Western Chu will destroy the country, and Xiang Yu's death is also God's will. Don't be sad, my lord!" Zhang Han heard about the incident on the north bank, and seeing Yin Xu's face like this, he had already guessed the general idea, and warmly comforted him.

Yin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "It's okay, the dust has settled!"

Chen Ping asked: "I heard that your majesty brought back the remains of Xiang Yu and his wife?"

"Yes, not only them, but also Xiang Yu's son, some generals of the Western Chu Kingdom." Naturally, Yin Xu would not hide anything from his confidants.

Chen Ping nodded and said, "What does your Majesty mean?" He knew that Yin Xu's actions were definitely not simple, and there might be some deep meaning behind them.

Yin Xu sighed: "Firstly, I don't want to see heroes being bullied after death. Secondly, they are of great use to the Yue Kingdom."

There is a bit of doubt in Zhang Han's eyes, he has not fully understood the key point.

Yin Xu continued: "We are forming an alliance with Han to deal with Western Chu, but in fact the secret agreement is unknown to outsiders, so this matter can be used for fuss. Although Western Chu is destroyed, the people of Chu are still alive. Now, although there are three households in Chu, the fact that Chu will die in the Qin Dynasty is still in front of us, so don't underestimate the hearts of Chu people.

A large part of the homeland of our Yue State is the old land of Chu State. Although it is under our rule now, I really miss Chu State in my heart.How sympathetic they are to Xiang Yu, Chu people will definitely hate the person who killed Xiang Yu.Don't forget, a very important reason for Xiang Yu's suicide is that we occupied Huainan and cut off their retreat.

Now it is only necessary to operate properly, and put all the responsibility for this matter on Liu Bang, wouldn't it be great?We can simply stay out of it and plan another way. "

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Yes, it is true. Now that Xiang Yu and his wife are buried in Jiangdong, the Chu people will definitely be grateful to the King of Yue. If you treat Xiang Yu's son generously, it will be easy to win the hearts of the Chu people. And you can declare Liu Bang's treachery and tear up the covenant. Chasing and killing Xiang Yu, and the king went north to rescue Xiang Yu. In this way, it will be justifiable for us to occupy Huainan, and we can also win gratitude and praise!"

Zhang Han somewhat understood the key point, and said with a smile: "Chu and Han formed an alliance, and Liu Bang sent troops to attack the Chu army. How to explain?"

Yin Xu nodded and said: "This effect is what the widow wants. It is to make Liu Bang suffer from being dumb. He is full of mouths and can't explain clearly. As long as the people of Chu believe it, then we can completely stabilize Jiangdong and Huainan. People's hearts, in the future, when we go north to fight against Han, we can also win the support of people's hearts!

As for the matter of Huan Chu, it is easier to explain. Now the generals of the Western Chu Kingdom have surrendered with Xiang Yu's permission. Of course, many of them have surrendered to Liu Bang.Even Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo could surrender to Han, but Huan Chu couldn't?Don't forget, Zhou Yin is on our side, we have the final say on how to explain it. "

Zhang Han couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding, Yin Xu's plan was exhaustive, and every detail was carefully planned.In this way, Huan Chu got a bad reputation. Anyway, Huan Chu sent troops to Jiangdong first and was defeated by the Vietnamese army's counterattack. It is not impossible to make slight changes.

Chen Ping didn't find it strange at all. With King Yue's plan, these things were naturally considered very thoughtfully.Now he only has one question, and he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, does this only involve Liu Bang or does it include Han Xin and Peng Yue?"

This is a very critical question. After all, it was the Han, Qi, and Liang kingdoms who jointly fought against Western Chu.Han Xin is the commander-in-chief and the backbone of this time to destroy Chu. Whether Han Xin and Peng Yue should be implicated is indeed a question.

Yin Xu pondered for a while, and said: "If they are involved, there is no doubt that they will be completely pushed to Liu Bang's side. Qi Guo and Liang Guoke will stand on the opposite side of us. It doesn't seem to be of any benefit to us? In fact, Han Xin However, Qi's military strength is inferior!

On the contrary, if it is not involved, will Han Xin and Peng Yue keep a distance from Liu Bang to avoid suspicion?Without Han Xin and the Han Army, you know how powerful the Han army is! "

"The Overlord meant to pick Han Xin out?"

Yin Xu nodded and said: "In this case, let's not implicate Han Xin and Peng Yue. They are still the courtiers of the King of Han in name, and they have no choice but to follow orders."

"What about Xiang Yu's son?" Xiang Yu's identity is there. Chu people miss Xiang Yu so much, so his son's identity is particularly sensitive.While bringing benefits to the country of Yue, Xiang Yu's son seems to be a hot potato.

Yin Xu said: "Since he is the son of the Overlord of Western Chu, the Crown Prince of Western Chu, he should take the throne now!" Anyway, he is still in his hands, and the title of the king is just a matter of name and does not involve actual interests.Most of the original Chu state's fiefdoms were occupied by the Han and Qi Dynasties, and it seems that there will be another reason to send troops to the north.

Yin Xu had thought clearly about these issues a long time ago, and this was the reason why he agreed to Xiang Yu to take care of Yu Ji's mother and child.It's a pity that Yu Ji's life couldn't be saved, but that's fine.Concubine Yu's beauty is famous all over the world. If Concubine Yu is taken in in Jiangdong, it will inevitably be said that the King of Yue covets Concubine Yu's beauty, which will lead to a series of problems...

Now this is much more convenient and solves such a difficult problem.People like Yu Ziqi and Xiang Zhuang are gone, and there is only Xiang Long as a child, so many things are much more convenient.To some extent, he is also considered a baby. Xiang Yu dared to entrust his child to Yin Xu, because he believed in Yin Xu's character.There is another important reason, Xiang Yu knows that his son is useful to Yin Xu, and because of this, Yin Xu will treat his son well.

Now that Xiang Long can be conferred the title of King of Chu, it can also prove to the world that the Yue Kingdom is a state of integrity, and it will not be said that it has ulterior motives.

Chen Ping nodded and said: "Your Majesty really has a clever plan, so things will be very beneficial to us!"

Zhang Han also breathed a sigh of relief, he did not expect Yin Xu to have so many political interests in such a simple matter.And everything is done so well, so just right.

Yin Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Prime Minister, I want to give Han Xin a gift, what do you think?"

"Gift?" Chen Ping was a little surprised, with some doubts in his eyes.

Yin Xu said: "Han Xin is now north of the Huai River, and Huaiyin is his hometown. When he returns to his hometown, seeing things and thinking about people, I think King Qi will miss him."

"Oh!" Chen Ping suddenly realized, and thought: "Your Majesty's proposal is good, but it should be handled with caution, and you should not act too hastily. It is best to try to understand Han Xin's intentions first."

Yin Xu smiled and said: "Okay, since the prime minister is here, I will be lazy and leave some things to the prime minister."

The previous major tasks have been done, but now it is just some aftermath matters, Chen Ping gladly accepted the order.

Yin Xu smiled and said: "The widow will take Xiang Long back to Hongdu first, and Huainan will be handed over to the general."

Zhang Han bowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have done my best, and the Huai River defense line is indestructible!" The 70 troops of the Han, Qi, and Liang Dynasties are still on the north bank of the Huai River, causing a lot of pressure, and people have to treat it with caution and be careful. .

"Okay, then wait for your good news. It seems that there should be news from Yingbo..." Yin Xu looked leisurely, full of expectation.

…………………………………………………………………………

The news of Xiang Yu's suicide in the Huai River spread quickly, causing people all over the world to sigh, and many people in Chu land wept secretly.

On the same day, Yue State publicly accused Han King Liu Bang of treachery. After negotiating peace with Western Chu State, Yue State sent troops to attack, chased and killed Xiang Yu.After getting the news, the King of Yue personally led his army to the rescue. Unfortunately, he failed to catch up, but rescued Xiang Yu's orphan and some generals of the Western Chu Kingdom, and snatched back the remains of Xiang Yu and his wife.

It was also reported that Chen Ping, the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, personally helped Ling return to the hometown of Kuaiji and buried Xiang Yu and his wife.At the same time, Xiang Long, the son of Xiang Yu, was named King of Chu.After the news came out, the world was in an uproar, but the facts before and after were there, making people unbelievable.Especially the generals of the Western Chu Kingdom, such as Ji Bu, Zhongli Mei, Xiao Gongjiao and others came forward and said.

From Huainan to Jiangdong, the grand funeral procession, the grand scale of the funeral of Xiang Yu and his wife is obvious to all.In this way, the credibility of Yue Guo's statement was greatly improved, and people couldn't help but not believe it.

For a while, the accusations and hatred against Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, were overwhelmed by waves, while Yin Xu, the king of Yue, was praised as a man of love, righteousness and kindness.The contrast is clear for all to see.

As the bodies of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were transported back to Jiangdong, the sorrow in the hearts of the Chu people was ignited again, and everyone from Huainan to Jiangdong was immersed in gloom.There are many people in Chu who miss Xiang Yu. Now that Yin Xu rescued Xiang Yu and dealt with his affairs in such a grand manner, the people of Chu were very satisfied and grateful.In addition, he was under the rule of Yue State, and now he is even more grateful and loyal.

There are still many young and middle-aged people who want to join the army, and even go to Hongdu to petition, asking the king of Yue to send troops to participate in the conquest of Liu Bang and avenge Xiang Yu.For a while, the people in the hometown of Chu State were indignant, and the people complained, and of course they were all aimed at the Han State.

Everything developed as expected. Yin Xu was very satisfied when he heard the news on the road, and returned to Hongdu with peace of mind.

..........................................................................................

When he heard this statement, Han Wang Liu Bang was furious.There is no doubt that this was done by Yin Xu, a very miserable one.

It was obvious that the Han and Vietnamese countries united to deal with the Western Chu State, but now it has become him, Liu Bang, who is treacherous, despicable and shameful.Yin Xu also pretends to be a lifesaver and a representative of justice, which seems so noble.As for Xiang Yu's desperation and suicide, the Yue State is also responsible, but now it is completely pushed to the side of the Han State.

It is now absolutely certain that Yin Xu's purpose in coming to the north bank of the Huaishui River has such a deep meaning.It is already difficult to deny some things. After all, the Han Dynasty tore up the peace treaty and the surprise attack on the Chu army has become an open secret, and everyone in the world knows it.Already preconceived, had a bad impression of Han.

It was mainly the Han army that fought against the Western Chu State. The Yue State did not have many wars against the Chu Army. Even Huan Chu was said to be a spy of the Han State. The Yue State sent troops to Huainan to rescue the Western Chu State.The reason is so high-sounding, but it is hard to refute.After all, Hanyue formed a secret alliance at that time, and Yin Xu seemed to guard against him, and did not sign any alliance that could be used as evidence.

In addition, Yin Xu adopted Xiang Yu's son and named him King of Chu. He treated him so favorably and buried Xiang Yu generously.Obviously, they are all things of little practical significance, but people in the world don't see it that way, and it has become a good way to buy people's hearts.Many generals of the Western Chu Kingdom appeared to speak, which is easy to believe.

The Yue State completely stood on a moral high ground and completely pitted the Han State.Now it can be said that the country of Yue became a bitch and set up a memorial archway. The important thing is that they succeeded.In this matter, Han Guo can be said to have yellow mud falling into his crotch, which is either shit or shit.Although there was not much loss in actual interests, it was widely criticized morally, which had a very bad impact on Han's image and next steps.

However, the Yue State achieved both fame and fortune without any effort, regained the hearts of the people in Chu, and also won a good name and praise from all over the world, becoming the biggest winner inadvertently.

Up to now, Liu Bang has fully understood one thing, that is, forming an alliance with Yin Xu is a stupid thing.In his eyes, Yin Xu is not much more noble than himself, but what he does is impeccable, and he is included every time.Liu Bang was very angry about this, but there was nothing he could do. He could only be anxious at this moment.At the same time, a tinge of dissatisfaction and doubts arose in my heart. This matter was led by Zhang Liang alone. Could it be that Zhang Liang hadn't noticed these problems beforehand?

When Zhang Liang heard the news, he knew that what he was most worried about had happened.When Liu Bang brought back the latest news from the banks of the Huai River, he had foreseen that things would not be so simple.

Unexpectedly, something happened. There is no doubt that Han Guoyou was calculated, and the calculation was very miserable.

Zhang Liang was in a state of deep self-blame. Although many things were said to be too cunning on the part of the Yue Kingdom, in fact, it was because he hadn't considered it thoroughly, so that the Yue Kingdom fell into the current unfavorable situation.But the reality is like this, sometimes there are many constraints, taking into account one side and ignoring the other side, there is nothing to do.

Zhang Liang sighed and closed his eyes slightly.The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to stop it. What to do now is the key to the matter.How can we minimize the loss of the Han State, and eliminate the adverse effects of this matter on the Han State...

At the same time, Zhang Liang was also a little puzzled, why didn't Han Xin and Peng Yue never be mentioned in Yue's accusations and rhetoric?Could there be any problem with this?Now Zhang Liang is a little neurotic and sensitive. After all, these people are not benevolent, so they must not transfer Qingqing, and they must not let go of any clues.Yin Xu thinks about everything he does, but did the two of them do it on purpose?Zhang Liang had to think carefully and deal with it carefully.

...................................................................................................

The south of the mountain and the north of the river are Yin, and the city of Huaiyin got its name because it is to the north of the Huai River.

Huaiyin is the hometown of King Han Xin of Qi. Han Xin rarely returned to Huaiyin since he left his hometown to pursue his career.It was still a few years ago, before the battle of Pengcheng, I wanted to return to my hometown to repay my kindness and pick up my beloved wife.

It's a pity that Han Xin missed the opportunity that time, and left disappointed, and worried for many years.This time he led the army to the expedition and came to the banks of the Huai River, and once again had the opportunity to return to his hometown.

This is Han Xin's absolute return to his hometown with honor and prosperity.At the beginning, he came back as the generalissimo of the Han army, which was already enviable.But this time, he came back as the King of Qi. It is the greatest honor in this era to crack the earth and seal the king.Now Han Xin has succeeded, and when he returned to Huaiyin, he was admired by countless people.

But Han Xinxin was not happy, and the glory of his status did not bring him much joy.After all, it has reached this point, and some false names are not so important.What's more, he still has more important people and things in his heart, and returning to his hometown of Huaiyin this time is not to show off how successful he is.

Maybe I cared a lot back then, but not so much now.The reason why he came back was because of a fluke, and wanted to see if my dear Xiang Ning had returned?Or whether we can get some news about Xiangning and Piaomu from here.At least take a look at the place where He Xiangning lived through thick and thin.But seeing things and thinking about people, touching the scene to make people feel sad, it is inevitable to be sad!

Back to the former residence, the house is dilapidated, it seems that no one has lived in it for many years, Xiang Ning has never been back, maybe she never had the chance to come back.Thinking of this, Han Xin felt a sharp pain in his heart, which only added to his sadness.

It has been several years, and I have searched for it in many ways, but there has been no news of Xiangning and Piaomu.Although there are doubts about different candidates, in fact there is no evidence, so it is completely impossible to start.

Han Xin is a person who values ​​friendship. As time goes by, he has not forgotten his friendship with Xiang Ning, but this feeling and longing have become deeper and deeper day by day.This is also a very important reason why Liu Bang refused to accept the marriage when he offered it.

Standing in front of the former residence, Han Xin was unwilling to leave for a long time.The happy time I spent here with Xiang Ning came to my mind, I was motionless, and only sighed after a long time.

leave!Although this is his hometown, it left him with too much helplessness, longing, worry and sigh, and it seems that there is no need to stay here.At this point, Han Xin was disheartened and wanted to leave this sad place.

But just as Han Xin was about to leave, a native of Huaiyin ran over and handed him a silk book.After reading the contents of the silk script, Han Xin's expression suddenly changed...
