Xiang Yu seized the opportunity to decide the fate of the Central Plains, and his choice was-
fall back.
He chose to return the world to the state before Qin, to...the state of the Warring States Period.
However, the "players" this time are slightly different.
The first is Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu. He did not take away his position. He is still the king of Western Chu, ruling the large and fertile land south of the river.
The old Chu land outside Western Chu was divided into three by Xiang Yu, and three kings were enfeoffed, namely Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, and Gongao, the king of Linjiang.
During the destruction of Qin, Liu Ji, whose merits could even be said to surpass Xiang Yu's, was made King of Han by Xiang Yu, and his fiefdom was Bashu and part of Hanzhong. As for Guanzhong, which had been promised to Liu Ji as early as Xutai, it was divided into two by Xiang Yu.
, were granted to King Zhai Dong Yi and King Sai Sima Xin. These two were originally generals of the Qin Dynasty. After experiencing the successive deaths of Zhang Han and Jin Qixiu, they chose to surrender to Xiang Yu and subsequently attacked Qin.
He had made great contributions in the war, and he was lucky enough to be crowned king at this time.
The fiefdoms of Dong Yi and Sima Xin, together with the fiefdoms of Gong Ao, surrounded the fiefdom of Liu Ji, King of Han Dynasty. Because of the previous Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu felt that Liu Ji would not be able to take on the important task. Since they were enemies, he simply surrounded it symbolically.
As for the Qi State, which had a lot to do with Xi Chu when Xiang Liang was still alive and was later destroyed by Zhang Han, it has completely gone through a big reshuffle. Almost all the top officials, including Tian Rong, were killed. Those who originally fled to Chu and Zhao
A group of people from Tianjia were also killed by Xiang An.
Xiang Yu divided the Qi Kingdom into three parts. Originally, Tian Shi, the son of King Tian Dan of Qi, was granted the title of King of Jiaodong. In addition, two other young men of the Tian family, Tian An and Tian Bing, were granted the title of King of Jibei and King of Qi respectively.
The land of Zhao was also divided by Xiang Yu. In addition to the original Zhao Wang Xie who was named acting king, he also made Liu Ji's old acquaintance Zhang Er the king of Changshan.
There was also the Wei State that died very early. Xiang Yu showed no mercy and was also divided into two. Wei Bao, the younger brother of Wei Wang Jiu who was killed in the battle of Linji, was made king of the Western Wei Dynasty. In addition to Wei Bao, Xiang Yu also divided
There is Sima Yan, the king of Yin, here. His fiefdom is small and pitiful, as if it is specially used to disgust people.
The remote Yan State also did not escape the fate of being divided. It was divided into two parts by Xiang Yu and granted to Yan King Zang Tu and Liaodong King Han Guang respectively. These two people were those who followed Chen Sheng during Chen Sheng's uprising.
Living to this day is considered to be a lucky thing. At that time, these two people were also involved when Chen Sheng Group was making nesting dolls. Chen Sheng sent military officials to help the State of Zhao recover, and then Wu Chen established himself as King of Zhao. The military officials sent Han Guang to help the State of Yan recover, but Han
Guang proclaimed himself King of Yan, and now, Zang Tu, under Han Guang, has also been granted the title of King.
Finally, the country of Han in the center of the map was also divided into two. King Shen Yang of Henan and King Han Cheng occupied this land.
At this point, the huge Central Plains was divided into eighteen pieces by Xiang Yu as if cutting it with a knife, and eighteen kings were enfeoffed.
As for the southern region, the old Qin army led by Zhao Tuo did not choose to come back.
When the First Emperor was still on the throne, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo took orders to cross the Central Plains and went to the desolate land outside the pass. They fought a war to the southwest with the goal of pacifying Baiyue. Later, Zhao Gaodongchuang incident happened, Ren Xiao died of illness, and Zhao
Tuo did not come back after all this, and stayed in the south. Now that Qin is gone, he has no master. Now it seems that he has no intention of getting involved in the mess in the Central Plains.
But no matter what, these kings and Xiang Yu have been enfeoffed.
Moreover, Xiang Yu was very artistic in dividing up the fiefdoms. He made various arrangements, such as tearing apart his homeland, making subordinates and superiors equal, humiliating super small fiefdoms, and poverty encirclement, etc., they were all arranged...
...
Just right.
Just enough to arouse the aggression of these so-called "kings".
But at this time, these "kings" did not notice this. They were intoxicated with the fact that they had obtained the fiefdom and the status of "king", retained the money and soldiers obtained in the war, and were able to return to the fiefdom to dominate.
.
The world seems to be so peaceful.
There was only one person who looked at this map, feeling sad but thoughtful.
"This kind of enfeoffment by King Xiang... seems to be deliberately provoking conflicts between kings..." Liu Ji stood at the bottom of the princes, narrowed his eyes, and looked at his position in Bashu
of the fiefdom and gently stroked his beard.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"Why do you think so much? Anyway, I am already a loser. I will have to live in that hellish place in Bashu from now on."
Bashu has not yet been developed, and is considered a desolate land.
There are high mountains to the east of Bashu, and the only way to return to the Central Plains is to go north. But to the north, the king of Zhai, Dong Yi, and the king of Sai, Sima Xin, are tightly guarded. Although these two people will fight among themselves, they will never relax their defense against Liu Ji.
.
For Liu Ji, this was no different from a desperate situation.
Leaving behind the princes who were excited about the enfeoffment and probably couldn't sleep tonight, Xiang Yu turned his back and walked to the back hall alone, leaving behind a group of seventeen kings and a huge map of the Central Plains.
...
In the back hall, Xiang An's strength has recovered a little.
He sat on the chair, his face flushed and his eyes burning.
The moment he saw Xiang Yu appearing at the door of the apse, Xiang An rushed forward and punched Xiang Yu's face with his huge fist.
Xiang Yu had long expected Xiang An's punch, reached out and grabbed Xiang An's fist in his hand.
"Xiang Yu——!"
This time, Xiang An did not call "big brother", but called Xiang Yu directly by his name.
Xiang An gritted his teeth, biting so hard that his gums seemed to bleed, his eyes glared, as if fire snakes were about to erupt from his eyes, and the blood vessels in his arms bulged, as if they were about to explode at any time.
open.
“You bastard—what the hell are you doing!!!”
Xiang An roared as if he was about to overthrow the palace. One punch missed, Xiang An pushed forward, spun around, and hit Xiang Yu's head with his other arm.
As a last resort, Xiang Yu let go of Xiang An's hand and moved back, not daring to take Xiang An's angry fist.
Xiang An refused to give up and continued to bully him. The two brothers fought each other with fists and kicks in the hall.
boom--!
As if Xiang An had no intention of holding back, Xiang Yu was forced to retreat steadily, and Xiang Yu was forced to retreat. He punched Xiang Yu's head again, Xiang Yu narrowly avoided it, and Xiang An hit the wall with the punch.
There was a loud noise, and the wall was directly hammered by Xiang An, and cracks appeared.
"The world is already suffering, you bastard, you can obviously be the emperor, you can obviously give the world stability -! You can obviously give the world stability -!!!"
