Competing

Chapter 599
When Yin Xu received Yingbo's report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The three passes of Xiaoshan are already in the hands of the Vietnamese army, and the situation in the middle of the pass is developing completely according to expectations, and the grasp is much greater.

"Sir, good news!" Yin Xu smiled and handed Yingbo's memorial to several important ministers for circulation. Such good news should naturally be shared.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Guanzhong has been decided!" Li Si congratulated first. As the former prime minister of Qin, he knew more about Guanzhong than anyone else.He is well aware of the current situation in Guanzhong, and knows the role and significance of the Vietnamese army's victory over the three passes of Xiaoshan.

Wei Liao also said: "Finally, we have seized the opportunity. According to the current situation, as long as Yingbu acts carefully, Guanzhong will be ours sooner or later!"

"Now, Liu Bang's calculational withdrawal of troops back, can only look at Guan Xing sigh!" Chen Ping also smiled, this matter is definitely good news for the Yue Kingdom.

Yin Xu said: "Thanks to Yingbo, his speed has exceeded everyone's expectations, very good!"

Winning Guanzhong not only weakened the Han state and expanded its territory, but also had a more important significance, that is, it completely changed the strategic structure of the Yue state.

The State of Yue is located in the south, and if it wants to fight for the world, it has to go to the north.Attacking from the south to the north, isn't it small? I had seized the opportunity before, but we will have to fight tough battles in the future. If things go on like this, it will be very unfavorable to the Yue Kingdom.

Now that Guanzhong has been captured, in the future the Vietnamese army will be able to conscript troops from Guanzhong, commanding a commanding position, and then cooperate with Jingchu and Huainan to attack, and the effect will be multiplied.The Yue State will take the absolute initiative in strategy, so that it will not be afraid of anyone.Furthermore, Guanzhong and Bashu line connect the north and the south, which plays a vital role in Yin Xu's consistent planning.

Therefore, the significance of the Battle of Guanzhong is really extraordinary, at least the immediate effect is immediate, and the balance of strength between Han and Yue has undergone a fundamental change.

It was a bit risky to do so, and Yin Xu was also worried before, if he couldn't succeed in one fell swoop, then he would pay a high price.The emperor simply pays off, and at this time, he can finally feel at ease.

"General Yingbo has made great contributions, but General Pu also deserves the credit!"

Yin Xu smiled and said: "That's right, speaking of Pu Jun, I have a few things to discuss with you!"

Everyone's eyes became more serious, knowing that Yin Xu must have something important to say!

Yin Xu said: "Although success in Guanzhong is imminent, there are still risks. Anyway, Xiao He has been operating there for many years, and the Han army is quite well established."

Everyone agrees with this!
Yin Xu continued: "So the actions in Guanzhong can't be just military actions, and other means must not be relaxed, such as fighting for the hearts of the people! If the people in Guanzhong stand on our side, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

When it comes to people's hearts, Li Si and Wei Liao are all thinking.

Yin Xu looked at them and said with a smile: "The two gentlemen must already know what I'm thinking. That's right, I want Ziye and my aunt to go back to Guanzhong!"

Although Guanzhong is now a territory of the Han State, it is also the former home of the Qin State.The time that the Han State controlled Guanzhong was relatively short, and most of the people in Guanzhong were from the old Qin, and they still had a sense of nostalgia and belonging to Qin.

Ying Ziye and Ying Shiman are both princesses of the Qin Kingdom, so they must be able to arouse the memory of the people of the Qin Kingdom to a certain extent.Especially Ying Ziye, she can help Su's daughter and Ziying's younger sister.

Fu Suxian's name is well known throughout the world, Qin people respect and miss Ziying even more, and they also have a lot of sympathy and nostalgia for Ziying. Ying Ziye will return as a Qin princess, which will definitely resonate with many people.To a certain extent, it can attract the hearts of the people in Guanzhong to join them, and the effect is still great.

Ying Ziye is also the concubine of Yue Wang, his own wife, and also the son-in-law of Qin State.There are no male descendants of the Qin royal family, so the status of Ying Ziye and himself in the hearts of the old Qin people will rise sharply.This is also an important reason why Yin Xu wants to win Guanzhong first, because Gai has such a trump card in his hand, which can play a very good role.

Wei Liao said with a smile: "That's fine, let them go there, it will help somewhat, and General Yingbo's side will get twice the result with half the effort."

Yin Xu said: "The widow still wants to go with Mr. Labor!"

After the capture of Guanzhong, the impact would be huge. There were a lot of things to be arranged there, and Yingbu might not be able to handle them properly by himself, so Yin Xu intentionally asked Wei Liao to help.Of course, there are other reasons. Yingbo is now the controller of Bashu and Guanzhong in the Yue Kingdom, and has great power in his hands. Although his wife and children are still in Hongdu, it is still beneficial for multiple people to check and balance.

How could Wei Liao not understand King Yue's thoughts, his eyes flashed, he nodded slightly, everything was understood in his heart.

Yin Xu immediately said: "Guanzhong is going to be held in my hand, I still have an idea in my heart!"

"Please speak, Your Majesty!"

"Pu Jun's activities in Mianshui are so impressive, why don't you do a fake show for real?" Yin Xu said softly.

Fake show for real?Everyone immediately came over what Yin Xu meant!
Chen Ping couldn't help worrying: "My lord, if Guan Zhong and Jing Chu attack at the same time, will the action be too effective?"

"I can't become a fat man with one mouthful, which made Liu Bang anxious. What should he do in a decisive battle with us in Jingchu?" Li Si expressed his opinion.

Wei Liao also shook his head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this move is really risky!"

Seeing that several important ministers disagreed, Yin Xu thought for a moment and fell silent!Several important ministers are cautious people, since they said so, there must be some truth.Maybe I was too eager for quick success?The rabbit is in a hurry and bites. If Liu Bang is really desperate for a decisive battle between Jingchu and Yue, Pu Jun's troops alone may not be able to resist it. It seems that it is better to take one step at a time and fight steadily!However, in this way, the pace of competition is bound to be affected to a certain extent, and it is inevitable to be a little disappointed.

Wei Liao seemed to have seen Yin Xu's thoughts, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Since General Pu has already dispatched troops, it is not good to return without success. We can appropriately increase troops to Jingchu to contain Liu Bang's main force, so that Ying General Bu can get it as soon as possible!"

"That's fine!" It's the only way to go now!

Regarding the middle hand, to some extent, it is already a sure thing to win. What is needed now is to act cautiously to ensure victory without problems.

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

Sending reinforcements and issuing orders will naturally be done by someone. What Yin Xu has to do now is to arrange for Ying Ziye to go to Guanzhong.

When he came to the harem, he thought of another matter and wanted to go through it first. He felt that he needed to meet Fan Yilan first.

It happened that the palace where Fan Yilan was located happened to be on the way, so it was very convenient to drop by.

After the beginning of spring, wars broke out between Chu and Han, and it was already midsummer when Xiang Yu committed suicide, and the footsteps of this summer had quietly left.Because Hongdu is located in the south, it is still so hot.

Fan Yilan was wearing a purple gauze dress, standing by the window, looking at the still lush garden, a small stream flowed through the back window, the scenery was pleasant, it was very comfortable to watch.The trees are shady, and it is a bit cooler. When building the palace, these are all considered.

A light wind blew by, her head full of blue hair swaying with the wind, her beautiful face, with soft lines, was so delicate and charming, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Fan Yilan is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Fan Yilan gently stroked her lower abdomen with her jade hand, and stared out of the window with a smile on her lips, very happy.

"Cai'er, have you finished discussing the government?" Fan Yilan asked softly without looking back.

"Oh, according to this time, it's almost time..." Cai Er, the personal maid, suddenly hesitated after seeing a tall figure.

It was Yue King Yin Xu who entered the room and made a gesture of silence. Cai'er was very sensible, so she naturally knew what to do!
"Cai'er, what's the matter? Go and have a look in a while, and if the king finishes discussing politics, come back and let me know!" Fan Yilan said calmly, still looking out of the window.

"Ma'am, there's no need..." Cai'er replied with a smile.

"You girl, you're getting more and more lazy..." Fan Yilan turned around, and when she was about to criticize Caier, she saw Caier smiling, and Yin Xu was already standing at the door.

Cai Er smiled and said: "Madam, I didn't lie to you, it really doesn't matter!"

After finishing speaking, Cai'er turned around and left knowingly.

"Great... Great King!" Fan Yilan didn't expect Yin Xu to appear suddenly, with shyness appearing on her face, she turned around and saluted.

Yin Xu couldn't help being a little surprised, Fan Yilan has always been generous, why is she a little flustered and coy today?

"Yilan, why are you looking for the widow?" Yin Xu asked softly. Fan Yilan must have something to ask Caier to inquire about her whereabouts.

"Ah, uh... nothing?" Fan Yilan didn't know how to answer for a moment, but asked instead: "The king is here at this time, but what is your order?"

Yin Xu thought to himself, could it be that he recently neglected Fan Yilan?No, I have often stayed here for the past two months!I couldn't help but wonder, but I didn't ask too much, and said, "Well, there is something!"

"What orders does your majesty have?" Fan Yilan's face suddenly became more serious.

Yin Xu said: "The news came from Yingbu today that the three passes of Xiaoshan have been captured. It won't be long before Guanzhong will be under the control of the Yue Kingdom. The thing we talked about last time can be carried out according to the plan!"

"The channel is changed to Guanzhong?" Fan Yilan asked softly, and then asked: "Then Yanzhao Qiguo will give up this line?"

"Well, let's give up! I thought about doing it from here before, but this is the territory of Liu Bang and Han Xin. Our scale is not small, and we must not be able to hide it from them. I used to think about getting Han Xin's support in exchange for benefits. Now look at it. Come to guess it won't work!"

What Yin Xu and Fan Yilan were talking about was buying horses from the Xiongnu and Donghu Grasslands. Before Yin Xu was considering transporting horses from the east to the south, the key was to ask Han Xin to agree.Xiangning and Piaomu are a bargaining chip, but the conditions they put forward are too exaggerated. Yin Xu even has his mind on Chuanguo Yuxi. Of course, it is the one made by Li Si that can be faked.

In the end, I gave up this idea. First, there was an opportunity in Guanzhong.Secondly, there will be a war between Yue and Qi in the future. Han Xin, especially Kuai Che, will not agree to such things that are not good for Qi.

Now that Guanzhong is captured, the land of Guanbei to the west of Dahe will naturally fall into the hands of the Yue Kingdom. In this way, the passage to the grassland can be opened directly without being affected by any force, which is the most perfect.

Fan Yilan nodded and said: "That's fine, it's naturally the best way to connect the north and the south from Guanzhong."

"Well, it won't take long for the Guanzhong side to settle down, so the matter on the grassland side can also be done!" Yin Xu talked about the crux of the matter.

Fan Yilan nodded lightly and said, "It's easy. Fan Zi left for the grassland half a year ago, and now he has re-established the old network. You only need to send a letter to Feige, and they can start making arrangements immediately!"

"Okay, you can arrange this!" Yin Xu was very satisfied with this.

Fan Yilan nodded slightly.

Only then did Yin Xu smile lightly, walked to the window, gently stroked the beauty's jade back, and asked, "Yilan, do you want to be widowed? I will stay here tonight!"

"Ah?" Fan Yilan didn't expect Yin Xu's transformation to be so fast, she was a little surprised!
"Why? Don't want to?" Yin Xu looked at Fan Yilan with a strange expression.

Fan Yilan hesitated and said: "Why don't you want to, it's just that Yilan is a bit inconvenient?"

"Inconvenient?" Yin Xu nodded with a dazed expression.

Seeing this, Fan Yilan shook her head and said, "It's not that... It's not that I'm inconvenient, it's that he is inconvenient!" The jade hand stroked her lower abdomen lightly, a little shy.

Yin Xu's eyes fell on Fan Yilan's lower abdomen, then looked at the beauty's expression, and said pleasantly, "Yilan, you have it?"

"En!" Fan Yilan nodded slightly, with a happy smile on her face.

"Really? Did the doctor read it?" Yin Xu hurriedly asked. Although he was the father of several children, he was very happy to hear that Fan Yilan was pregnant.

Fan Yilan said softly: "I've been lazy recently, and the monthly letter didn't arrive as scheduled, so I went to the doctor for a diagnosis, and I'm already two months pregnant!"

"Great, we have a baby!" Yin Xu gently hugged Fan Yilan in his arms, full of caress.

Fan Yilan was also very happy, because she didn't have a child because of taking care of her nephew Fan Yansi.But watching the other wives give birth to their children one by one, the maternal love in Fan Yilan's heart was ignited, and her nephew had grown up, so she also wanted to give birth to a child for Yin Xu as soon as possible.Fortunately, as one wishes, she finally conceived a child.

Yin Xu said with concern: "Since you have a child, you don't have to worry about the external affairs. The widow will tell them personally. Your task now is to raise the baby with peace of mind, and add a fat boy to the widow in the spring of next year!"

"Yeah!" Yin Xu stayed here with Fan Yilan all afternoon and didn't go anywhere.Originally, I was going to talk to Ying Ziye about going to Guanzhong, but now Fan Yilan has a baby, which is a great joy, so naturally more care is needed, and other things have to be put on the sidelines for the time being.
