Chapter 41 The Chu-Han Controversy and the King of Han Liu Bang (Part 2)

Liu Bang looked at the March of Chu and Han behind him and sighed deeply.

"I have been with him through life and death, and fought against Qin to conquer the world, but he divided the country unfairly. He made me the king of Han, with jurisdiction over Ba, Shu and Hanzhong counties, and divided Guanzhong among the three Qin generals who surrendered, Zhang Han, Dong Yi,

The purpose of Sima Xin and the others is to monitor the people and prevent them from rebelling.

In fact, I was one of the great contributors to the destruction of Qin, and I should have received more than them in terms of merit. Such an unequal distribution of benefits and credit is one of the reasons why I turned against Xiang Yu."

When Liu Bang was talking about the injustice, he paced anxiously in the tent and continued to confide his unhappiness to Madou Dou and Zhi Guoguo.

"The second reason why I turned against him was that he wanted to implement a feudal system. He wanted to adopt the practice of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, establish himself as the overlord of the Western Chu, and grant small kings. This would easily lead to instability in the current situation, and the separation of political power would lead to wars and disputes.

This is contrary to the system of prefectures and counties in the pre-Qin Dynasty. For the sake of peace in the world and the common people, I am determined to attack Xiang Yu, establish the Han Dynasty, and achieve great unification, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the political power can be more stable."

When Liu Bang talked about his revenge and ideals, Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were moved and gave Liu Bang a thumbs up.

"Your Majesty, did King Xiang Yu of Chu kill your father?" Madoudou asked Liu Bang full of questions.

After Liu Bang pondered for a moment, he said with a bitter look on his face, "Because when I and King Xiang Yu of Chu jointly fought against Qin's atrocities, I formed an alliance and became brothers with different surnames. Since they are brothers, my father is his father. King Chu

If Xiang Yu really kills my father, he will definitely make everyone in the world laugh at him, and it will also chill the hearts of other generals."

Liu Bang pointed to the military map of Chu and Han behind him, and continued: "Because the few people could not leave the city, they sent General Han Xin to lead his troops to seize the Chu army's rear route and occupied Hebei and Shandong. Xiang Yu was unable to do so due to lack of food and soldiers.

If you don’t ask me to ‘divide the world in the middle and cut the gap to the west for Han and to the east for Chu’, this gap is the ‘Chu River and Han Boundary’.”

"Your Majesty, you are the Mingjun of the ages. Later generations will call you the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. You are the founding king of the Western Han Dynasty." Madou Doudou revealed his only historical knowledge.

When Liu Bang heard this, he was very happy. He stroked his beard and happily wanted to reward Madoudou and Zhiguoguo.

After being rejected by Madoudou and Zhiguoguo, Madoudou said, "Your Majesty, my sister and I are time travelers. We cannot stay in each time and space for long. I am very happy to see you today. We will have a full meal later.

Then you have to leave.”

Liu Bang tried to persuade them to stay, but finally let Madudou and Zhi Guoguo go.
