Chapter VI Incentives

Xiang Yu was lying on the couch and heard that the Qin army had robbed the camp, Xiang Yu was killed, and Chen Ying of Shangzhu State was uncertain about his life or death. Like a rat scalded by boiling water, he suddenly jumped up, Lao Gao, and tore off his left arm.

He was wearing a white bandage and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why did this happen? Call the generals for a meeting and call Yafu over."

Ya's father is Fan Zeng. He almost means a foster father, and he is the same as Jiang Ziya's father-in-law and Lu Buwei's father-in-law!!

This godson boss is disobedient.

It makes godfather Fan Zeng always angry!

An old man in his seventies has been suffering from blisters on his lips and inflammation of his throat for the past two days. He can spit out fire when he opens his mouth.

It’s all thanks to my godson!

As early as when Xiang Yu massacred Xiangcheng, his godfather went to see him for the first time (Xiang Liang was not yet prostitute at that time!) and told him to be kind to the people and stop killing.

Xiang Yu didn't care about this. He looked down on the poor and old at that time.

Xiang Yu felt that he was avenging the Chu people who died!

What did I do wrong?!

This is really unreasonable!

Xiang Yu's eyes were as wide as a bull's eye. If his eyes were really like flying knives, Fan Zeng would have been beaten to death!

"Swish, swish, swish" Fan Zeng dodged countless knives with murderous coldness, and met the two eyes that everyone in the world feared. He said happily and without fear: "It is wrong for you to kill people. General, you must get rid of this habit!"

Xiang Yuxin said, I am a dignified nine-foot man {two feet taller than others} who is too lazy to argue with a poor man like you. I can't afford to offend you, so I will hide. He raised his hand to lift the curtain and went to drink with Lu Matong. No bird.

you!!

At that time, Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang met for the first time!!

The next day Fan Zeng presented Xiang Liang with his first clever plan after coming out of the mountain!!

A clever plan that influenced the overall situation of the world and the times. This strategy seemed simple, but in fact it fundamentally stabilized the rebel armies of the entire world at that time.

Fan Zeng said: "Chen Sheng's failure is inevitable, there is no doubt, there is no accident, it will happen sooner or later!"

Xiang Liang thought to himself, what do you mean? Do you have a grudge against Chen Sheng?

Fan Zeng smiled and continued: "General, does he know why Chen Sheng was defeated so miserably in less than a year!!"

Xiang Bo really wanted to give an answer: I know, I was cursed to death by you, an old guy!

Xiang Liang shook his head!

How could he know such a politically insightful thing?!

Fan Zeng stroked his long beard: "The throne can destroy people! Chen Sheng's name was not justified, and the soldiers' hearts were not attached to him and he couldn't wait to become the king. As a result, everyone became the king. This was caused by illegality.

" Xiang Liang didn't think much of the old Confucian scholar in front of him at first, but when he heard this, his eyes immediately rounded up: "That's right. If Chen Sheng doesn't become king, maybe there won't be so many kings in the future.

He was too hasty and too impatient - but what Chen Sheng said was right, princes, generals, and ministers have a lot of talent! Kings, kings don't grow out of the ground? Besides, it's not easy to do an uprising without one person to lead it!

"

Fan Zeng said: "There must be a king, but it must be legitimate."

Xiang Liangxin said, isn't this nonsense? Qin II is the most justified, why should he be the king of Chu?

Fan Zeng narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "If you want to establish a king, you must establish someone with the blood of the true King of Chu, a descendant of the King of Chu, and a true emperor. Otherwise, you will not gain the support of countless Chu people. Even if you support them temporarily, over time, they will become emperor."

Then he would deviate from morality and betray the royal way. Chen Sheng was defeated and killed because he failed to unite the masses and take root among the masses.

"Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, Chu was the most innocent, and our King Huai of Chu was even more pitiful -" Fan Zeng felt sad, thinking that King Huai of Chu was just a fool, and Zhang Yi was being fooled!

"King Huai died in Qin. This deep hatred is still fresh in the minds of the people of Chu. This was the general's main weapon to destroy Qin and prosper Chu. Now that the general is revolting in Jiangdong, the heroes and patriots of Chu and countless people have responded.

They support the general because these people hold their breath against the violent Qin Dynasty. The general's family has been the pillar general of the Chu State for generations. They have the ability to restore the Chu State, be the king of Huai, and breathe a bad breath for the people of Chu. If the general does not stand up now

The descendants of the Chu State are kings. Those who respond to the plan will lose their enthusiasm for restoring the country with their own selfish motives for getting rich, and they will not be as united as before. Their passion for reviving Chu and destroying Qin to avenge King Huai will be like letting go.

A cup of tea in the ice and snow quickly cooled down. On the other hand, heroes from all walks of life are now joining forces to compete in the world, and there are many tyrannical ones. These people think that as long as someone has a horse, they can cede territory and become king. This will

Sowing the seeds of chaos, everyone will dominate each other whenever there is an opportunity. If these people are united under the banner of the Chu princes and grandsons, the generals with foreign surnames will feel ashamed and will not be tempted to become king!!

"

Xiang Liang was in awe after hearing this, and then suddenly laughed: "Sir, what you said is absolutely correct, but where can we find a descendant of the King of Chu to be the king?"

Fan Zeng laughed: "I'm just here to give the king a gift to the general!"

Xiang Liang's expression changed drastically——

After some guidance from Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang sent Zhong Limei to find Xiong Xin, the son of the last king of Chu, Xiong Fuchu, who was vigorously developing animal husbandry in the Wolongze area of ​​Chu State.

So Xiong Xin ended his career as a "farmer" and turned to "slaughtering"

In fact, he was just a puppet pulling strings from beginning to end.

Fan Zeng was having some trouble with Xiang Yu during these days because he massacred 400,000 Qin troops in Broken Valley. He sighed all day long. Others felt that victory was certain, but he felt that the end was approaching and dark clouds were pressing down on him.

Fan Zeng was drunk that night. When he got up, he heard that Xiang Yu had killed 400,000 people in one night. He cried bitterly, howled and grabbed the ground, and shouted: "I was negligent, I was negligent. I thought I had a chance to win the world, but I didn't expect it."

, I fell short of everything overnight! I fell short of everything!!”

Xiang Yu was very unhappy when he heard this, so he went to ask him: "Yafu, why do you say such depressing words? It will have a bad impact on others if they hear it." Fan Zeng almost slapped him once or twice, stamped his foot and said: "General, general

, you shouldn’t have killed those 400,000 lives! Think about it, these 400,000 people all have wives, children, and children. These people are spread all over the world, and there are rumors everywhere that there are more than a million people who hate you in the world! As the saying goes, if you are a good person, you will get a lot of help, but if you are a bad person, you will get little help.

.Everyone in the world is frightened when they hear your name. Who will come to help you!"

Sure enough, in his final escape, Xiang Yu was pointed out the wrong path by a farmer and got lost in the swamp, thus falling into the encirclement of Han Xin's army. He committed suicide in Wujiang River.

Xiang Yu didn't care: "Father, you don't have to worry. With my ability, no one in the world is not afraid of me. If anyone dares to rebel, I will lead my people there and kill them without any effort. No one needs help!"

This is Xiang Yu's personality. He thinks that he is omnipotent, and those who oppose him and those who are against him will be destroyed. He does not need help! The stone blocking the road must be kicked away! He has never thought of bypassing that stone.

Or pick up that stone and carry it in your arms to attack your enemies! Never!

So he offended countless people, so he became wary!! It seems that even powerful people cannot offend others. This principle is not only effective for white-collar workers in the government, but also for emperors.

As soon as Fan Zeng came in, he saw Xiang Yu standing in the shadow of the light with a dark face! There were two rows of generals in the handsome tent, and all of them held their breath and didn't speak. Not even one dared to fart.

"Father, something happened, the Qin army robbed the camp -" Xiang Yu hurriedly ran over to help him: "Father, the Qin army didn't come sooner or later, but I'm here after my injury is almost healed!"

Fan Zeng looked at the bandage on Xiang Yu's arm and asked with concern: "Are all the arrow wounds healed?"

"Okay." Xiang Yu said solemnly.

In fact, the five or six wounds on his body were only about three to four times better, and some were still bleeding. Fortunately it was winter, they would probably fester in the summer.

Fan Zeng trembled his goatee and said: "There are still some talented generals in the Qin army."

Xiang Yu rolled his eyes and asked you to make suggestions. It would be better for you to praise the enemy as soon as you enter the door. This will disturb the morale of the army. This is not good.

Xiang Yu slapped the table and was so frightened that Fan Zeng's old bones almost fell apart!

"I have decided to attack the city with all my strength tomorrow morning and capture Hangu Pass no matter what! I want to avenge the dead brothers and I want to kill all the residents in the pass!"

The old habit happened again! This time it was Fan Zeng’s turn to roll his eyes. Son, how could you do this?!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, general, I'm afraid the losses from attacking the city will be huge?" Fan Zeng stopped him.

"Does Yafu have any good ideas?"

Fan Zeng muttered: "Not yet, waiting -"

Before Fan Zeng finished speaking, Xiang Yu slapped his bear paw on the table again: "In this case, I have decided to attack the city with all my strength tomorrow! Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, Ji Xin, Lou Fan, the four of you will count 20,000 troops from our headquarters.

Horse, prepare to lead the charge, let’s call it a day!”

Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, Ji Xin, and Lou Fan looked ashen as dead. What does this mean? They were clearly raised as stepmothers, born by concubines, and used as cannon fodder!

It turned out that although the remnants of Liu Bang's army led by Fan Kuai, Guan Ying and others were also Chu people, they were losers and were not direct descendants of Xiang's army. They were repeatedly discriminated against by the tyrannical ace army. After coming to Xiang Yu's place, they basically

They all became handymen. Because they lost their weapons and baggage at Wuguan, this army looked very embarrassed. Most of the weapons in their hands were made of sharpened wood, and they were covered with two rags.

Think of it as armor!!

Xiang Yu turned a blind eye to this and did not add anything at all.

Everyone knows that attacking a city is a narrow escape, let alone a fortified city like Hangu Pass in front of us. Without tens of thousands of casualties, we can't even get close to it. And yet, you still want to mobilize your own troops? Damn it, what do you mean? It's clearly to eliminate dissidents.

Do you know the remaining power of Peigong? We don’t think we are one of our own!!

The eyes of the four people all showed fear, horror and anger. Others were just paying it forward, but Fan Kuai didn't care about it and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't break up the meeting yet. I have something to say. Xiang Yu, aren't you kidding us? Let's attack the city.

Yes, but I need to equip my men with the best armor, weapons, and shields. In addition, I need General Long Qie’s arrow-blocking chariot and toad chariot to cooperate!”

"Equipment?" Xiang Yu sneered; "Don't you have equipment? What equipment do you want? Is it because you are too timid to go for fear of death? If you don't dare to go, tell me earlier. I have many generals under my command!"

"Who is afraid of death? I, Fan Kuai, am not afraid of death by birth, so what does death mean? I just think General Xiang is too unfair. Your Chu army in Kuaiji has iron armor and spears, good food, good drinks, and a lot of money, but we from Peixian County

Brothers eat chaffy vegetables every day, starve and freeze, live in the simplest tents with ventilation on all sides, and do exhausting work. Brothers, we stand guard day and night, and we rarely sleep for a few hours a day.

, the troops of Yingbu and Zhonglimei are all equipped with the best rations, pay and weapons, and they will be replenished according to the loss of soldiers. The oldest is not more than thirty-five years old. We are not jealous of this. Who makes them the direct troops?

?But, General Xiang, you want us to attack the city. We don’t have bows and arrows, and spears are not going to work. Aren’t you asking a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers under me to die?"

Xiang Yu was furious: "Fan Kuai, do you want to die? How dare you contradict me like this. I tell you, don't be mean and talk nonsense. I treat all my subordinates equally. There is no direct lineage. If you are afraid of the trump card,

Get out of here and die as soon as possible - Huan Chu listens to the order - "

"Wait a minute -" Fan Kuai took out the sword in his hand and knocked it on his knee. The sword broke into several pieces and fell to the ground: "There is no need to change people. We soldiers from Peixian County are not afraid of death. We can capture Hangu even with our bare hands."

Close!" After saying that, he and Guan Ying and others strode out of the handsome tent!

Xiang Yu just sneered behind them!

Fan Zeng smiled bitterly!

"What to do!" Ji Xin grabbed Fan Kuai's sleeve not far from the door.

Fan Kuai said in a deep voice: "I am a swordsman, and I am a fish and meat. I only have the right to be slaughtered. What can I do?"

Lou Fan said: "Whether you go or not, you will die. If you can't escape, he will definitely execute us for disobeying military orders. What can we do?"

Fan Kuaixin said, What can Ruzhi do? I don’t know what Ruzhi can do? Just take it one step at a time! What can you do when you meet someone like Xiang Yu?

Guan Ying suddenly leaned into Fan Kuai's ear and said, "Why don't we pull the team out and work alone, and seize the opportunity to seize Han's land to stand on our own feet!"

Fan Kuai felt as if he was being electrocuted and said directly: "Okay, I have wanted to do this for a long time! But I have to discuss it with my wife first!"

A few people limped outside Lu Pheasant's tent, but they didn't expect that the partition wall had ears. What they said had been heard by a soldier carrying an iron halberd and peeing outside the tent. The soldier sneered in his heart: I have a chance.

Come on, Xiang Yu, wait like hell for me, I will make you look good sooner or later.

Lu Pheasant was fooling around with Ren Ao in the tent! She didn't care about Liu Bang's life or death!

After hearing the announcement, he came out panting, disheveled and dripping with sweat.

When they saw Ren Ao standing behind him and using his thumbs, they figured out that there must have been a hand-to-hand fight here just now, with screams and blood flying everywhere.

These things have been an open secret these days. Fan Kuai and others pretended not to have seen it. The cuckold has not been brought to his head anyway. Why should he care about these nosy things? You have eaten too much to support yourself?

Whoever wants to ride can ride it. Anyway, Pei Gong also rode a crane to the west.

Lu Pheasant was sitting on the beautiful red carpet, like a white peony in full bloom. The smile on his face was somewhat embarrassing, and his throat might have been a little dry because he had shouted so intensely just now.

"Ahem - you guys are no longer fighting the enemy at the front, why do you want to see me?"

"Madam, we have an emergency..." Guan Ying saluted and wanted to pull Wen away, but Fan Kuai pulled him away.

"Madam, Xiang Yu has eliminated dissidents and used our brothers as cannon fodder. The brothers in Peixian County are going to die. What do you think we should do about this?" After saying this, he glared at the dark Ren Ao.

Ao rolled his eyes and pretended not to see it. Fan Kuai thought to himself, Madam was confused by this little black face and ignored the lives of her brothers. Damn it! I will chop you to death sooner or later!

Lu Zhiyi frowned: "What do you mean, what happened?" Guan Ying bowed deeply and explained what had just happened from beginning to end.

Ji Xin spread his hands and said: "Usually, we deduct a little food and salary, don't give us equipment and supplies, and do some dirty work, so forget it, but when a war breaks out, let us rush to the forefront, siege the city, and even

They are not even equipped with oars and shields. I really don’t understand whether Xiang Yu wants to destroy the Qin army or our Peixian army!”

Lu Pheasant burst onto the road, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, slapping the case: "How dare you do this! What are your plans?"

Fan Kuai said: "Madam, we have already discussed it. If we want to pull our team out to work alone, I believe it is not too difficult to seize a few cities from King Han."
