Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Lu Bu just kept talking, Xiang Yu...
Lu Bu just talked endlessly, but Xiang Yu never said a word, still deeply thinking about his words.
Until Lu Bu suddenly said that he was willing to accept the long tassel, he was silent for a long time, and then suddenly came back to his senses. Before the happy opponent was almost ready to make a decision for him, he said without thinking: "No."
He rejected it so neatly that the smug Lu Bu was stunned.
Facing Lu Bu's stunned and puzzled gaze, Xiang Yu frowned slightly and explained in a subtle way: "What Fengxian said does make some sense. Zang Tu is indeed good at making opinions. He should not be frivolous in killing the old king. In the end, this matter was caused by the feud between the Yan people. I only need to punish Zang Tu, deprive him of the throne, and then appoint another available person to be the king of Yan. Why seize Yan's land? What's more, let alone Zang Tu. When the Qin Dynasty came to an end, the people suffered a lot. It was the time for the king of all countries to return to his throne and cultivate the people's peace. It is not appropriate to start war rashly."
Lu Bu was dumbfounded and speechless. His eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What kind of nonsense is this?
If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that this foolish king with his beautiful words drove the unlucky Wei Bao to the east of Hedong by presiding over the enfeoffment, and unintentionally made a Lao Shizi King of the Western Wei Dynasty, thereby taking away part of the Liang Dynasty. Judging from his behavior... he almost believed the other party's lies.
It was not just the leopard of Wei who was taken advantage of: all the royal families of the old six kings who did not make great efforts were forced to move to remote places, and Han Guang, who was killed by his ministers, was just one of them. Xiang Yu was also openly biased. After occupying all but the best territory himself, some good places were either given to the princes with whom the Xiang family was friendly, or directly went to the hands of Chu generals.
It's so unfair that any blind person can see it.
At this moment, the princes and soldiers were swallowing their anger, but they were just afraid of the Chu army's strength. How could they be truly convinced?
According to what he said, instead of pretending on the surface and taking advantage of the east and west, it is better to set his mind straight and raise the flag of righteousness to take back the land one by one.
Then force the counterattack one by one, and always get them all in the bag.
Otherwise, why would you divide a good portion of Da Qin into more than a dozen pieces of land and give them away? Isn't it to weaken the strength of the princes so that they can be defeated one by one later?
But this stupid king... what exactly is going on in his head?
Lu Bu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt shuddering.
Although his mind was still vague, he had an intuition that his original understanding must have gone terribly wrong somewhere.
There is indeed a major flaw in Xiang Yu's remarks.
If you are worried that the people of Chu will govern Yan and have an unfair reputation...could it be that the people of Yan would be sincerely convinced by the King of Yan appointed by the King of Chu?
The princes are willing to bow their heads and accept the enfeoffment, why is it because the King of Chu is the most reasonable! But they were purely afraid of the power of the giant deer and knew that the Chu army had the strongest fists. The nobles know the current affairs so well, let alone the ordinary people who face the yellow earth and the sky?
To seize the world, you must gain great righteousness and control the people's hearts, but you should never stick to the great righteousness and be controlled by the people's hearts.
The Chu State has the strongest military force under its command and holds the banner of righteousness. No one among the princes in the world can compete with it.
You can suppress it by force, and then take care of the people after seizing the land.
As long as there is a mouthful of food in the belly, there is still hope for life, and the people will not care whether the king above their heads is a Yan eunuch or a Chu person.
As for how to be gentle...
That's the job of the staff, and it's Lu Fengxian's shit to do.
But looking at Xiang Yu's style, he didn't have such long-term plans at all. He seemed to be satisfied with being the overlord of Western Chu.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the suspicion in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Is Xiang Yu too arrogant and arrogant, looking down on the bitter cold land and disdain to get involved, or is this person just so naive that he wanders around with the rhetoric of unintentionally swallowing up other countries, but in the end he didn't deceive others, but instead Covered yourself?
Lu Bu tried to hold it in, but couldn't hold it in. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he asked in a shocking way: "I dare to ask the king if he still remembers what he said in Kuaiji, 'Who can take his place'?"
Xiang Yu was caught off guard by the question. His eyes tightened and he stared at Lu Bu!
How could he forget the arrogant words he made when he saw the First Emperor's chariot when he was young and frivolous in Kuaiji County?
But except for the deceased uncle Xiang Liang, very few people in the world know about it - even though there were still close followers accompanying him in the past, most of them were not involved in the great defeat of his uncle.
Although he had become famous at this time, he never deliberately publicized his original words.
How did Fengxian know what he said in the past?
Being stared at by those mysterious and deep eyes without saying a word, Lu Bu showed no fear at all. He even stared back tit for tat and asked again in a ferocious voice: "The ambitions of the past, the grand hegemony to be achieved, Could it be that your Majesty has completely forgotten that you really want to let go of the world that is within your reach and just sit in a corner with peace of mind?!"
At the end of the sentence, Lu Bu's eyes were burning, and his tone was filled with genuine pain.
Damn it!
If this stupid king is really stubborn and doesn't have the ambition to dominate the world and swallow up all the countries, then his plan to destroy the countries in the Central Plains first and then take care of Liu Bang's retreat in Bashu will also be ruined! ! !
This was the first time that Xiang Yu was questioned so aggressively by his subordinates. Apart from being confused and puzzled, Xiang Yu surprisingly did not feel angry at being offended.
Although Fengxian was furious, the reason why he was so anxious and angry was ultimately due to his sincere loyalty to him.
How could he be so fearless and give honest advice.
Thinking of this, even though Lu Bu was still glaring at him angrily, the fire that had just begun to appear in Xiang Yu's heart miraculously extinguished itself.
He frowned slightly, as if he was being questioned, and slowly withdrew his gaze, falling into a stiff silence.
The more silent he was, the more desperate Lu Bu became.
...How come God is so blind?
This stupid king has such a good fortune that he is about to let the biased thief put food in his mouth. However, this stupid melon is just trying to play off the temper of the aristocrat. Vomited!
On the other hand, he worked hard, and within a few days of his good life, he ended up being beaten all over his head, running around in disgrace, and lost his life in vain.
Xiang Yu didn't say anything for a long time. Lu Bu waited for a long time and became frustrated.
That’s all.
To hope that this fool's brain will come to his senses, the difficulty will be as high as beating the opponent's brain to death.
It would be better to quickly return to the camp to find his brother Han and inform Xiang Yu of his ridiculous plan, so that the other party can re-plan his top priority of killing Liu Bang.
Thinking about this, Lu Bu felt extremely regretful.
It's also his fault that he misjudged Xiang Yu and mistook Xiang Yu for his poor thinking when he was young. He would inevitably run into obstacles everywhere, and he would force himself to be a little more tolerant from time to time.
Ah.
Lu Bu sneered silently - now it seems that Xiang Yu's brain is not worth 10% of his cleverness back then!
After all, he is used to being unlucky, and he always has this toughness in his bones that is incomparable to ordinary people. He becomes more courageous with every setback.
No matter how angry he was at Xiang Yu's behavior of not sparing any blessings and squandering all the opportunities he had, he still cheered up quickly.
——The more this thief God tries to trick him and make him unable to achieve what he wants, the more he insists on fighting a way out of this desperate situation, which makes the thief God angry and angry.
After being absent-minded for a while, Lu Bu quickly regained his energy and decisively decided to give up trying to persuade this stupid king, and quickly looked for his reliable light - Brother Han.
If you stay with him in this palace for a while, he might lose his temper and fight Xiang Yu.
Although he already had the intention of not colluding with the stupid king, he could not just say "I will take my leave first" in a straight and blunt manner. He ignored his conscience and remained expressionless, but most likely he was in a daze. Xiang Yu said: "It doesn't matter, Bu didn't think carefully enough."
No matter what Shangguan made a fool of himself, since the other party wanted to have his own way, he simply handed the steps to calm him down and then went on to make plans on his own.
Xiang Yu's dilated pupils gradually gathered, and he looked at Lu Bu with a slight doubt in his attitude, who suddenly changed his attitude and had a sincere look on his face.
Lu Bu pretended to be suddenly enlightened. He changed his anger and said to himself: "If the king really captures the land of Yan, it will inevitably make the princes wary. From now on, they will unite to regard Chu as the enemy and attack Chu together. And I Although the army is extremely sharp, unparalleled in the world, and has the most resounding king at its command, it is essentially a lone army with no support. As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it gets angry, and a dog jumps over a wall when it gets angry. If the mad dogs attack in groups, even if the Chu army is invincible and the king is unparalleled, they may not be able to support it..."
Although he didn't taste the hypocrisy in Lu Bu's words, Xiang Yu still felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened, and his brows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
How could he act upright and follow the old agreement of splitting the earth and dividing the king? How could Fengxian say that he was afraid of those rabble?
He endured it again and again, but in the end he could not hide his strange displeasure, and said slightly sullenly: "I have never been afraid of war!"
Whether it was with just a sword, he followed his uncle's orders to kill Yin Tong first, and then killed dozens of guards; or he was troubled by the King of Chu, despised by Song Yi, beheaded him directly, and then chased his son and took the lead in the battle. Strengthen the Qin; or lead the Chu army to destroy the cauldron and sink the boat in Julu, making the world famous...
What he is not afraid of the most in his life is a life-threatening battle!
Lu Bu, on the other hand, had a clear look on his face, saying, "It's okay for me to know it myself." Even though he changed his tone of voice, even Xiang Yu, who was as slow as Xiang Yu, could clearly see the perfunctoriness in it.
Xiang Yu suddenly became sullen and wanted to get angry several times, but seeing Lu Bu's stubborn and proud look of tightening his thin lips, he finally held it in.
"That's all, let's go back to camp first."
Xiang Yu had a sullen face, swallowed his breath for the first time, and raised his hand to drive the culprit out.
Lu Bu, who had no idea that he had unintentionally provoked the general, wanted this.
Taking Lu Bu's handsome and eager back into his eyes, Xiang Yu felt inexplicably that the air in his chest... seemed to become more congested.
As if he was aware of Xiang Yu's angry gaze, and as if he realized later that he had lost his temper just now, but was afraid that he might have offended the naive and foolish king too much, Lu Bu suddenly turned around, raised his eyes lightly, and said something like Feeling infinitely sad, he actually tried to make up for it by saying: "I don't know, a man as tall as the king is rare in a thousand years. Why is he so hesitant for no reason? Besides the king, who else is worthy of owning this beautiful country?"
——You are the most suitable for me!
Lu Bu sneered in his heart and added this silently, but his face remained indifferent and expressionless.
After covering the stupid king, he quickly rubbed oil on his soles and ran away to find Han Xin.
How did Xiang Yu know the arrogant addition he secretly kept in his heart?
Suddenly, his expression moved slightly when he heard the emotion that filled his heart. He couldn't help but be touched by the sincerity and loyalty in it.
It is precisely because of this that the inexplicable evil fire and Fengxian’s suspicion that he was ‘fearful of the princes’
The unhappiness of fighting together quietly disappeared without a trace.
Xiang Yu meditated alone for two whole incense sticks, and finally summoned a group of close advisers headed by Fan Zeng to discuss matters together.
Just when Xiang Yu temporarily changed his decision and wanted to have a dispute with Zang Tu, who was good at making opinions, the surging princes also joined forces one by one, fighting each other and competing for territory.
As Han Xin expected, Qi general Tian Rong, who was excluded from the enfeoffment because he refused to follow the Xiang family to attack Qin, found it difficult to swallow his resentment.
Without waiting for the Chu army to react to Zang Tu's matter, he took the lead in raising his troops, and after seizing the Tian market of one of the three Qi kings who had been entrusted by Xiang Yu, he launched a massive attack on the Tian capital.
But it is said that Tian Rong was a powerful man in Qi. Together with his cousin Tian Dan and younger brother Tian Heng, they were one of the first military forces in Qi to raise troops to fight against Qin. The three of them personally led the troops to level the Qi, and Tian Dan took advantage of the situation and proclaimed himself the king of Qi. .
If not for the fact that when Queen Tian Dan sent troops to rescue Wei, she was killed by Qin general Zhang Han, which gave Tian Ji an opportunity to take advantage of him. Tian Rong would not have been forced to support his cousin Tian Dan's son Tian Shi as king.
He had a violent temper and was stubborn. He believed that he had the greatest merit in Qi. In the past, he refused to send troops to Julu because he resented Xiang Liang for refusing to kill Tianjia. However, he later lost his title because of it. How could he be willing to do so?
Although Tian Rong is impulsive, he also knows that it is difficult to support a tree alone, and rebellion cannot be carried out alone.
He was even more aware that Xiang Yu's behavior seemed fair but actually took advantage of it. There must be a lot of dissatisfied people among the princes' armies. So before he formally launched an army to rebel, he first sent a letter to incite the thief who was born in Jiangyang and was involved in the war against Qin. Peng Yue, who had done little and had also lost his title, responded to the request of Chen Yu, who had broken with his friend Zhang Er and did not send all his troops to rescue Zhao. He was dissatisfied with only one Yi marquis and provided military support.
Joining forces with three people to launch a rebellion, even if they are as tyrannical as Xiang Yu, their energy will be greatly reduced when they have to divide their forces into three groups and are exhausted to deal with them, and they will have a chance of winning.
The day after Xiang Yu received the military report that the three forces had united to rebel against Chu, Lu Bu, who was still busy pestering Han Xin for a new plan, was hit by a royal order that surprised and delighted him.
——"Order Bu to lead the Guanzhong army to attack Tu and capture Yan, and set off today."
