Chapter 25: Divide the Deer among the Heroes (Part 2)
"The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright,"
"The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws roost again,"
"When will we know when we miss each other? It's hard to be in love at this time and this night."
The night wind was brisk, and a man's poem reciting sound suddenly sounded outside the tent. Ying Xue Yueben sat quietly next to the charcoal pot, resting her chin on her hands, in a daze, but after hearing this hearty poem reciting sound,
Ying Xueyue immediately realized that Xiang Zhuang was here.
If it were in the past, Ying Xueyue would never go out to look for him, but since that day, after the two kissed each other, Ying Xueyue has gradually become inseparable from Xiang Zhuang, and she has gradually fallen in love with him.
man.
After Ying Xueyue got up and ran out of the big tent, she saw in front of her, Xiang Zhuang, his back leaning against the moonlight, standing quietly, seemingly not feeling the coldness of the night wind, Xiang Zhuang was motionless and staring quietly.
Looking at herself, although she was moved in her heart, Ying Xueyue did not show it. She walked over coldly and said in a cold voice: "Aren't you going to accompany her?"
Ying Xueyue deliberately bitten the word 'she' very hard. Xiangzhuang could hear Ying Xueyue's displeasure, but this was the first time Xiangzhuang had seen her being so jealous. Although it was cold outside, Xiangzhuang cared.
Not being cold, he looked at her for a moment, Xiang Zhuang hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Didn't I come to see you?"
"You..." Ying Xueyue still wanted to speak, but Xiang Zhuang hugged her quietly. She suddenly felt heat rising up, and she swallowed back the words that came to her lips. Just like that, the two of them hugged each other,
Neither one let go of the other.
In the cold winter, the two of them hugged each other quietly like this, but Xiangzhuang didn't know that for the convenience of the female family, Ying Xueyue and Cao Feng's camps were not far apart, and Cao Feng, who was watching the moon not far away,
After Feng heard Xiang Zhuang's voice, she also came over. Under the moonlight, she saw what she shouldn't have seen. She could no longer hold back her tears and hurried back to the big tent.
…
To the east of Xianyang City, here is Xiang Yu's camp, where more than 100,000 Chu troops are stationed. Here is also the gathering place for the coalition forces. Generals and monarchs from various countries have also visited Xiang Yu many times.
It seems that the Kingdom of Chu is already under Xiang Yu's rule, and King Huai is no longer the monarch of the Kingdom of Chu. In the past few days, women's screams of terror and then the screams of suicide can often be heard in the Chu camp.
Although Xiang Yu repeatedly issued orders prohibiting the Chu army from looting, he still could not stop the atrocities committed by the coalition forces of various countries. If things went on like this, the Chu army would also be infected. This happened frequently, and Xiang Yu no longer had too much control.
In the Chinese army's tent, Xiao Gongjiao, who had just returned, stood in front of Xiang Yu with his hands folded. He sighed with a slight embarrassment: "General, the king is very angry. He refused to grant your request."
"What...did he say?" Xiang Yu did not get furious like before, but quietly stared at Xiao Gongjiao. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Xiao Gongjiao hesitated slightly and said in a low voice: "The king said that he will never break his promise."
"What a man who never breaks his promise!" Xiang Yu laughed angrily. He waved his hand to Xiao Gongjiao and ordered: "Go down and rest first."
Xiao Gongjiao sang a promise and turned to leave. At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng and sighed: "Father, do you know why I wrote to King Huai?"
"General, do you want to test King Huai?" Fan Zeng hit the nail on the head with his words. Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed and said, "It is indeed Yafu, who revealed the mystery with one word."
After a pause, Xiang Yu continued: "Since the defeat of my uncle, King Huai has been suppressing our Xiang family, withdrawing military power, and reemploying Liu Bang. Does he think Liu Bang is a good thing? And this time when we entered Xianyang, if I hadn't fought so hard,
Zhang Han, could it be that Liu Bang entered Bingguanzhong so easily? Even if I have no merit, I still have hard work, right? Where will he put me?"
"How are you going to handle this, General?"
"I want to make all the kings great! Let all those who have meritorious service get a piece of kingly land." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he laughed again. Fan Zeng sighed lightly. Everything was not as Xiang Zhuang expected. At this time,
Fan Zeng added: "Since the general has made a decision, how can we convince the people of Chu?"
"Do you have any good ideas?" Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng, who nodded with a smile: "General, why don't you make King Huai the emperor? That way, if the heroes divide their lives, who else would dare to object?"
"My father's words are exactly what I want!"
"Hahaha!" Xiang Yu and the generals raised their heads and laughed together. Xiang Yu was crowned king, and then everyone could follow Dajia and return to their hometown with honor.
But after laughing for a moment, Xiang Yu discovered that Fan Zeng was not as happy as everyone else. He looked at Fan Zeng in surprise and asked, "Father, what is this..."
"General, have you ever thought about how to deal with the relations between countries? Liu Bang is not a rat, how to deal with him? And to whom will the general distribute the land in Jiangdong?" Fan Zeng said a series of questions, and Xiang Yu was speechless when asked.
, he thought for a moment and returned: "Didn't Yafu have a message in advance to send Liu Bang to Shu?"
"Well, if Liu Bang enters Shu for a long time, his mind will change, and his subordinates will not live with him in Shu for long. At that time, Liu Bang will not be afraid, but what about the land east of the Yangtze River?"
As if he heard what Fan Zeng was saying, he thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I plan to let Zhuang'er guard Hanzhong and guard Liu Bang's main route out of Shu, and then use Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi to take charge of Guanzhong and Liu Bang respectively.
Nothing to fear."
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Fan Zeng waved his hand and sighed: "Liu Bang has more than 100,000 subordinates. At this time, General Xiangzhuang only has more than 10,000 subordinates. Even if he recruits troops in Guanzhong, how many will there be? If General Xiangzhuang has
Stationed in Hanzhong, if you are not afraid to hit an egg against a stone, you will perish quickly!"
Fan Zeng's analysis made sense. Xiang Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Why don't you tell me what countermeasures you have?"
"It has been said since ancient times that brothers fight against tigers, and father and son fight together. Why doesn't the general allocate the land east of the Yangtze River to General Xiangzhuang, and let him govern the south of the Yangtze River as the general's back-up? In this way, even if the world is in chaos and all countries rebel
, General, there is no need to be afraid. The soldiers from Jiangdong are heading north for reinforcements, which can ensure that Sishui County is safe."
There is some truth to what Fan Zeng said, but it is still difficult for Xiang Yu to fully accept it. He was pacing in the tent at this time, and before he realized it, a personal attendant suddenly walked in outside the tent, and hurriedly came over.
He cupped his hands and said, "General, Miss Cao Feng is asking for an audience outside the tent!"
"Her?" Xiang Yu was slightly surprised and asked in confusion: "What is she here for?"
"Miss Cao Feng seems to have cried. She looked very anxious." He replied. At this time, Xiang Yu had already guessed that Xiang Zhuang had bullied her. However, they were discussing business at this time and Xiang Yu could not leave.
, had no choice but to say: "Take her to the tent, I'll be there in a minute."
He followed Changnuo and left. At this time, Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng again and hesitated: "Let Zhuang'er take over the land of Jiangdong?"
"Yes." Fan Zeng nodded. At this time, Xiang Yu finally made up his mind and said loudly: "That's it!"
"General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" Suddenly, a deep voice came from the side. Everyone saw that it was Long Qie. He stood up and said: "If the land east of Jiangdong is given to General Zhuang, I'm afraid Wu Rui will be the biggest obstacle.
!”
"Does he dare to disobey my order?" Xiang Yu looked murderous and stared at Long Qie. From the side, Yu Ziqi also said: "Wu Rui has lived in Poyang for a long time and has won the hearts of the people. If he refuses, I'm afraid Poyang will be the first to rebel.
The Chu land that has just been stabilized will be in trouble again, so the general should think carefully about this."
Both of them stood up to object, and Xiang Yu also hesitated. He stood there, staring quietly outside the tent. Although the curtain was not opened, Xiang Yu seemed to be able to see outside for a long, long time.
On the side, Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu hesitate again, he couldn't help but laughed and said: "This matter can be said to be big or small."
"Oh? Father, tell me quickly." Xiang Yu was interrupted by Fan Zeng and walked over quickly. Fan Zeng stood up and said with a smile: "Wu Rui is related to the Xiang family by marriage, so he would never be so decisive. Besides, Ting Bu
Following the general and making many military exploits, it stands to reason that he should be enfeoffed to the princes of a county. If the general can enfeoff Yingbu, he should go to Wu Rui's arm. Then the general is related by marriage and Xiao Xiao uses his interests to persuade Wu Rui, and Wu Rui will definitely agree.
At that time, General Xiangzhuang can be mobilized to go south and take control of Jiangdong. As long as time is given, I believe General Xiangzhuang can stabilize Jiangdong."
Fan Zeng spoke with great assurance, and Xiang Yu nodded frequently. After a short period of thinking, Xiang Yu finally made up his mind and ordered: "I will have a chat with Wu Rui in the next few days. For the rest, Yafu might as well share the burden for me. How about
All the kings, please ask Yafu to make a list for me."
…
After discussing things with everyone, Xiang Yu hurried to the side tent. At this time, Cao Feng was sitting alone on the soft mat, with a cup of tea in front of him, and the charcoal pot beside him was still smoking.
Xiang Yu laughed twice, walked over, looked at Cao Feng, and asked doubtfully: "Did Zhuang'er bully you?"
Seeing that Cao Feng didn't respond, Xiang Yu said again: "Huh, this brat, I'll deal with him!"
Seeing that Xiang Yu was really angry, Cao Feng hurriedly called out to Xiang Yu: "Brother Xiang Yu, wait..."
Xiang Yu paused. At this time, Cao Feng took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed it to him: "Sister Yu'e asked me to bring it to you."
"Is she... okay?" Xiang Yu took the kit. In the past few years, he had been away fighting and had not seen Yu E for a long time. Although there were many women in the army these days, Xiang Yu still felt very sad in his heart.
Miss her.
At this time, Xiang Yu opened the brocade bag and saw a brocade handkerchief inside. On it were some caring words from Yu E and instructing him to take good care of himself and his brother Yu Ziqi. After Xiang Yu looked at it, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Seeing that Xiang Yu had read the letter, Cao Feng asked hesitantly: "Brother Xiang Zhuang, is it... is he already in love with that Ying Xueyue?"
When asked by Cao Feng, Xiang Yu didn't react at first, but soon, Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes and stared quietly outside the tent. He knew who this Ying Xueyue was.
He stared outside the tent for a while, then looked at Cao Feng, and asked in surprise: "Why do you suddenly ask about her?"
"I can tell that Brother Xiangzhuang seems to like her very much."
"Really?" Xiang Yu asked doubtfully, but soon his thoughts fell on Ying Ziying. This person cannot be kept, and his daughter must not enter the Xiang family as a wife. Thinking of this,
Xiang Yu said coldly: "Don't worry, she can't enter our Xiang family as long as I'm here."
