Liu Bang was still worried about not killing Xiao He in the camp.

Another new version of the rumor spread throughout the Chu army camp.

Moreover, this rumor quickly spread to other people's ears.

"This bastard is eating everything inside and out!" Xiang Yu cursed angrily.

"Let's go, take the elite south! As for the others, I can't control them!" Xiang Liang said with a decadent face.

At this point, the situation has completely gotten out of control, and Chu State is no longer the Chu State that he can control.

"Uncle, let the boy kill him!" Xiang Yu was really angry and unwilling to fail.

"So what if I kill him?" Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu with the same sense of powerlessness on his face.

The huge blow to his career made him feel more and more powerless. At the age of over 70, he experienced all this again, and he even felt faintly that something was wrong with his body.

After taking advantage of the King of Han's trick, Fan Zeng is much calmer now.

But what's the use of being calm?

Call it a conspiracy or a conspiracy.

What's the use?

The outcome is already determined.

"The King of Han is very scheming and good at sowing discord to make the other party fall apart. If I guess correctly, it is the King of Han who is sowing discord this time. The rumors outside that Liu Bang sent people to hunt down Xiao He should be true!"

"But what's true? So what if it's fake? We believe it. Are the panicked soldiers below willing to believe it? They only saw Han's frequent actions and Chu's defense line being repeatedly compressed.

Approaching the bottom of the warehouse, their hometown has become Han people, their relatives have become Han people, and their hearts, just like Xiao He's heart, may no longer be in the Chu country..." Fan Zeng shook his head with a tired face.

"Father, if we leave Pengcheng and go south today, how can we see Jiangdong and his father again?" Xiang Yu's eyes were slightly red, and tears could not stop rolling.

He thought of everything since their uprising, from being chased and hiding, to rising up, and now back to where they started.

He thought of those Jiangdong elders who supported them, their longing eyes, and their expectations that represented hope.

And now, how will I explain to them?

"What happened now is just a repeat of what happened back then. Yu'er, you are still young and you have many followers around you. As long as you can maintain a good relationship with these people, it will not be difficult to rely on Kuaiji to make a comeback in the future." Fan Zeng

He persuaded with earnest words.

He could clearly feel that his body was no longer strong enough, so even if he walked with him, whether he could reach Kuaiji was still a question.

So now Fan Zeng can be said to be extremely serious, and he seems to be explaining everything in detail like his last words.

"The current predicament of Chu State is caused by me on the surface. In the future, Yu'er can blame me for the conflict between Han and Chu..."

"Father..." Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng with red eyes.

"Why do you need to be like this, Mr. Fan? The reason for this really does not lie with you!" Xiang Liang also expressed his stance.

Fan Zeng was still very important to them, and he also heard the pessimism in Fan Zeng's words.

Fan Zeng shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't I know my own body yet? After all, I have lived for more than seventy years and I am satisfied. It's just..."

Having said this, Fan Zeng paused.

His face was full of bitterness and he couldn't express it, and he didn't even know how to say it.

When I was young, I had a dream, kept working hard, and accumulated connections.

When he was finally able to take charge of his own affairs, Chu State also perished.

After enduring for so many years, he finally waited for the death of Qin, but soon after, the death of Chu was still there. The fate of the country seemed to be shrouded in his whole life, and it was probably very difficult to get rid of it in this life.

In this case, he doesn't care if he takes more blame.

"Liu Bang is not a good man. He has many capable men and strangers under his command. Although he has lost two generals, Xiao He and Cao Shen, his current strength cannot be underestimated. Moreover, this man's heart is not in Chu State. He can lead his troops.

Go north to attract the attention of the Han army in order to reduce the pressure on us. In addition, the generals under his command can also be crowned kings. One is to win over people's hearts, the other is to disperse and break out, and the third is to make plans for the future. In this way, each department faces

The pressure will be reduced. As for who the Han army will target first, it all depends on fate..." Fan Zeng continued.

"Didn't Yafu say that Liu Bang's pursuit of Xiao He might be true? Then why is his heart not in Chu?" Xiang Yu was a little confused for a moment.

"Then what Liu Bang wants to do is to be a hero and live in Chu State, just to accumulate strength. It is just right to confer several kings to go north to attract the Han army!" Fan Zeng said with a smile.

…

There is not much time left for the Chu army.

After the news spread that Xiao He had secretly met with Liu Bang and was being hunted, the Chu army became even more panicked.

Will the Han army only come into contact with one Liu Bang?

Obviously it's impossible.

The generals who had not received contact from the Han army panicked at this moment.

It seemed that everyone thought that he had surrendered to the Han army, and everyone was in a panic. What they feared most was this inexplicable panic.

Today, Xiang Liang once again called everyone together.

As before, King Chu sat at the top and remained silent. When everyone arrived, Xiang Liang spoke directly.

"The current situation is not good for Chu, and a war will be useless for Chu. Therefore, the king has decided to order everyone to disperse and break out. With luck, maybe we can have an unimpeded journey. But before leaving, the king has decided to give everyone a big gift."

Xiang Liang stood in front and looked at everyone, speaking loudly.

If it were in the past, I would definitely be showing off now.

But not today.

Xiang Liang didn't know whether the Han army would attack, let alone whether the morale of the army would collapse before the Han army attacked, so he could only describe it in brief terms.

Then he said directly: "Han Cheng! Now the king will grant you the title of King of Han, and lead his troops to return to his hometown in South Korea to seek support from his old friends in South Korea and hope to restore the country as soon as possible."

"Wei Bao, the king now crowns you King of Wei and leads his troops back to the homeland of Wei..."

"Liu Bang, the king now crowns you the King of Liao..."

"Chen Yu, now the king makes you the acting king..."

"Gong Ao, now the king will make you the King of Linjiang..."

"Wu Rui, the king now crowns you the King of Hengshan..."

"Yingbu, I will grant you the title of King of Jiujiang tonight..."

Xiang Liang conferred awards on his important generals one by one, conferring seven kings in one breath, but he did not confer any title on himself, nor did he confer a title on Xiang Yu.

Being granted the title of king means that these people are given sufficient autonomy. From now on, they will no longer be subordinates of the Chu State.

But isn’t being crowned king exactly what they pursue throughout their lives?

Although the situation is turbulent today, their respective fiefdoms are considered stable at the moment, except for the King of Wei and the King of Han.

Therefore, most people are not dissatisfied with this reward.

Not only to leave smoothly, but also to make plans for the future, and even more to cause more trouble for the King of Han.
