Chapter 781: The Name of the Overlord of Western Chu
Fan Zeng, a famous counselor and politician in the late Qin Dynasty in history.
In his early years, he defected to Xiang Liang in Xuedi, followed Xiang Yu to participate in the Battle of Julu, and conquered Guanzhong. He repeatedly performed ingenious schemes and was respected as "Yafu" by Xiang Yu. During the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng repeatedly signaled Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang.
In terms of historical status, and from the perspective of a successful king or a defeated bandit, if Xiang Yu had not failed, then Fan Zeng would certainly have been a famous prime minister that will go down through the ages.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu, who was arrogant and proud all his life, not only missed Han Xin, but also demoted Fan Zeng because of Liu Bang's alienation plan.
Otherwise, how could the overlord of Western Chu commit suicide in Wujiang River?
Liu Bang once said: Xiang Yu had an increased fan but could not use it, so I captured him.
Jiang Ji also once said: If Xiang Yu listens to Fan Zeng's strategy, he will conquer the world in an easy way.
Therefore, Fan Zeng's talent is self-evident.
After learning that Fan Zeng had arrived, Cheng Mu personally went out of the city to greet him. He wanted Xiang Yu, and he also wanted to take Fan Zeng under his command!
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Fan Zeng was already seventy years old and had white hair. But even so, when facing Cheng Mu, he still gave him a royal courtesy.
"You're welcome, Mr. Fan, please get up quickly!"
Seeing the white-haired old man kneeling before him, Cheng Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He said excitedly: "Mr. Fan took the trouble to come all the way. I'm really grateful."
When dealing with talented people, Cheng Mu's attitude has always been to treat talented people with courtesy.
If Fan Zeng extended a warm invitation, Cheng Mu would also attend the appointment immediately.
"Thank you, His Majesty Qihuang."
Fan Zeng stood up and looked at the young and talented Cheng Mu, who was filled with emotion.
In Cheng Mu, he saw the luck of dragons and tigers in five colors, and luan and phoenix dancing. This is the true spirit of the emperor!
This rich imperial aura was several times stronger than when he was watching Pei Gong!
"I have prepared a dust-cleansing banquet, specially for Mr. Fan to cleanse the dust and welcome the wind! Please!"
Cheng Mu didn't know that Fan Zeng knew the art of luck, so at this moment he wanted to take Fan Zeng and have a good chat.
"Your Majesty, please come first!"
Fan Zeng was not polite either. So with Cheng Mu's support, the two of them walked side by side.
At the same time, news of Fan Zeng's arrival reached the ears of Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others.
In an instant, the civil servants and counselors from the Apocalypse Empire also came looking for him.
To them, Fan Zeng is a sage. At the age of seventy, he came out to fight against the Qin Dynasty. His heart and ambition are admirable.
Fan Zeng is their role model!
During the dust-washing banquet, Fan Zeng kept feeling emotional.
When he first entered the Apocalypse Empire, he saw a completely different scene from Great Qin and Great Jin.
Although the Mingzhou Province of the Apocalypse Empire is in the process of recovery, there is no sadness on the faces of the people.
The people are actually very simple, and their demands are also very low. When Zhu Di was still here, these people in Mingzhou Province chose to die for their country one after another.
But wait until Zhu Di is killed in battle and the Ming Empire is destroyed.
Reality tells them that having enough food is the most important thing.
If Cheng Mu can bring them a good life, give them new pursuits, and make them stronger than before, then they will naturally have smiles on their faces.
After entering China Province, Fan Zeng saw another scene.
He is proficient in the art of luck, and he sees dragon luck in every citizen of the Shenzhou Province of the Apocalypse Empire!
That's right, even three-year-old children and newborn babies are blessed with dragon luck.
Although the largest golden dragon is Cheng Mu, if you randomly pick out a citizen of the Apocalypse Empire, they are all children of luck!
If placed in other countries and on a chaotic battlefield, these people would definitely be a new force.
Everyone is like a dragon. This is truly a horror he has never seen before!
"Mr. Fan, you're welcome."
Facing Fan Zeng's praise and exclamation, Cheng Mu was modest but did not deny it.
Immediately, he asked about the situation of the Qin Empire.
In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Qin Empire is the well-deserved leader.
Even Xiang Yu, who was in the realm of the divine platform, had his halberd broken, which is enough to show the power of Qin Shihuang.
"The Great Qin Empire has unparalleled laws and regulations."
Fan Zeng used the four words Fadu Wushuang to describe the Qin Empire. This is indeed the case.
Strict laws made this empire strict in political laws, and the people abided by the law, not picking up lost items on the road, and not closing their doors at night.
Coupled with strict military discipline.
On the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Qin army never deserted. The rewards and punishments were clear, and everyone was willing to die.
"This is still a bit extreme."
It's not that there are no abnormal phenomena under the strict laws, but that all abnormal phenomena are suppressed.
When the day comes when the law cannot suppress the unrest, unrest will still break out in the Qin Empire.
According to Cheng Mu's ideas, the rule of law and the rule of benevolence complement each other, and complement each other and are the best way to govern the country.
"It's a bit extreme."
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "However, Qin Shihuang has hundreds of millions of knights supporting him, which is a force that cannot be ignored."
Ranger army?
The Qin Empire formed an army of knights from the very beginning.
Coupled with Ying Zheng's favor, the Great Qin Empire's ranger army is comparable to the Great Wall Legion of the Great Qin Dynasty.
"Ranger."
Cheng Mu felt a little emotional. He knew from the beginning that the ranger was the protagonist. So he put a lot of effort into building up the ranger army under his command.
It's a pity that the strongest ranger army in the Apocalypse Empire, the Divine Sword Army, defeated Li Chunfeng in a battle with Li Shimin.
The newly formed Divine Sword Army still needs a lot of training.
Yijian Qingxin and Dark Night Fishing and others were resurrected, but unfortunately they were not resurrected in the Apocalypse Empire.
Currently, Cheng Mu is sending Hidden Dragon Envoys to search for their whereabouts in various countries.
Those who died fighting for our country must not be let down!
Later, after taking a closer look at Xiang Yu's strength, Cheng Mu sent out his invitation.
Invite Xiang Yu to submit to the Apocalypse Empire, and he, Cheng Mu, will treat him like a king!
"King side by side?"
After seeing the strength of the Apocalypse Empire, Fan Zeng let out a cold breath after hearing this condition. He was amazed because this reward was really so generous.
Everyone can see that there will definitely be a place for the Apocalypse Empire in this world.
The word "side by side" means "king", so what is the difference between power and emperor?
Even if he only serves as the provincial governor of the Apocalypse Empire, his power is the same as that of the emperor.
It's a pity that Fan Zeng knew Xiang Yu's character, and he said regretfully: "My young master is a person who is not willing to be inferior to others!"
How could the majestic overlord of Western Chu be subordinate to others? Even if one person was inferior to ten thousand people, he would not agree.
He failed in his previous life, so Xiang Yu must take back what he lost in this life!
"Haha, this is just my suggestion."
Regarding Fan Zeng's words, Cheng Mu had already expected it. So he expressed the second possibility: "My Apocalypse Empire is willing to join forces with the Overlord to conspire with the Han Dynasty!"
Don’t you, Liu Che, want to get at me? Then I’ll kill you first.
Anyway, Datang is not that big of a threat to him at this time. In this case, you can consider joining forces with Xiang Yu to attack Liu Che from both sides.
Now that all the strong men in the Shentai realm have disappeared, the army of the Apocalypse Empire is unstoppable!
"What about the future?"
Fan Zeng does not want to go to war with the Apocalypse Empire. Currently, Xiang Yu is still too weak in front of the empire.
"In the future?"
After hearing these two words, Cheng Mu laughed and said: "Conquer the foreign races and show off the power of China!"
Xiang Yu has no share in Chinese civilization. If Xiang Yu wants, he can help Xiang Yu cross the sea and fight.
Whether it is East Asian civilization or Egyptian civilization, whether it is the Maya or the Roman Empire.
I also want them to see that with the five thousand years of history of the Huaxia clan, just pulling out one person can turn them into a nightmare.
"Haha! Okay!"
Cheng Mu's words made Fan Zeng laugh heartily, and he agreed.
He likes conquering foreign tribes and promoting the power of China, and Xiang Yu likes it even more!
What he wants is not only to make the name of the Overlord of Western Chu famous throughout China, but also to make the entire earth tremble because of the Overlord of Western Chu!
