271 Angrily rebuked King Huai, intending to follow Song Yi.
271 He was furious and scolded King Huai, with his intention to follow Song Yi.
"Today, Qi State has an envoy, saying that it was attacked by Lu Bu, the northern Yan land. Lu Bu was a rebel general of Qin. When the Qin traitor Li Xin invaded our Chu State, this person was Li Xin's deputy general. Now that he occupied Yan land, he was not satisfied and came to attack Qi State. I am worried that once Lu Bu occupied Qi land and bordered our Chu State, he was afraid that his thief would continue to attack our Chu State. Therefore, I hope that the king can allow the Mo General to lead troops to support Qi State and fight against Lu Bu's thief army with Qi State."
The reason why Song Yi was so concerned about the invasion of the land of Qi in Yan territory was that he was not a great charity who was anxious and righteous, nor was he really worried that Lu Bu would target Chu after annex Qi State. The real reason was that all this was related to the "bright future" of Song Xiang, the son of Song Yi,!
It turned out that after Lu Bu sent general Meng Yi and Lu Ze to command two left and right armies to attack Qi, although King Tian Dan of Qi fought step by step, he still couldn't stop the fierce attack of the soldiers of Yan who had been trained by Meng Yi's army and were well-equipped. If it weren't for the extraordinary reputation of King Tian Dan of Qi in the Qi area and many people, Qi would have changed his surname to Lu under the devastating attack of the two armies of Meng Yi and Lu Ze.
But people's hearts do not mean that they can forever resist the fierce attack of 40,000 elite soldiers and generals. In order to protect the throne, King Tian Dan of Qi had to send people to Chu for help. Xiang Liang, who had originally held the actual military power of Chu, lost the power of the Xiang clan. Seventy-five percent of the military power of the Chu State were controlled by veteran Song Yi, so Tian Dan placed the target of seeking help on Song Yi.
In order to impress Song Yi and let him send someone to help Qi as soon as possible, Tian Dan even promised that as long as things were done, Song Yi's son Song Xiang would be the prime minister of Qi. It was precisely the tempting thing that Song Yi would take the initiative to advise King Huai of Chu to send troops to help Qi today. Otherwise, with Song Yi's character, he would never have the leisure to take charge of Qi's belonging and the life and death of King Tian Dan of Qi.
"So that's the case. I really can't ignore Qi. Let's do this. Now Chu still has 160,000 soldiers, so you can bring 60,000 soldiers to aid Qi. The remaining 100,000 troops will be left to guard against Qin's attack after capturing Zhao?" King Huai of Chu refused to transfer most of the troops to Qi. After all, Qi cannot threaten the security of Chu immediately. However, once Qin captures Zhao, his next target is likely to be Chu, which is much greater than the threat of Lu Bu in Yan's territory.
Before Song Yi could answer, Xiang Yu, who could not control his anger, jumped up: "Your Majesty! I have been asking for the King for three days, and the King refused to promise every time. Song Yi was just a general of my Xiang family back then. As soon as he asked the King for the King today, he immediately promised 60,000 soldiers to him. How can the King be convinced by such actions? Don't forget that the King was just a shepherd, and it was my uncle General Xiang Liang who found you back!!"
Xiang Yu is Xiang Yu. Even if he has not become a king, his character has been revealed. In just a few words, he not only offended Song Yi, but also bluntly accused King Huai of Chu of being unfair in his actions.
It should be noted that even if King Huai of Chu was found by your Xiang clan, Song Yi did serve your Xiang clan before this, but this does not mean that you are a 'stinky' child, who will tell these things without any scruples in front of these two people when Xiang Liang, the leader of the Xiang clan, was defeated and died.
"presumptuous!!"
"How dare you speak wildly by irrespectfulness!"
............
There was a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps outside the camp. As the curtain of the camp was suddenly lifted up, the dazzling sunlight outside made Fan Zeng, who was sitting in the tent reading, unable to help but raise his hand to cover his eyes. When he saw clearly that the visitor was his original nephew Xiang Yu, he stood up and welcomed Xiang Yu in: "Ji'er is so angry. Could it be that he failed to ask for military power from King Huai again?"
Xiang Yu took off the armor on his body and threw it aside. He grabbed the tea on the table and took three big mouthfuls before cursing: "At the same time, I, Xiang Yu, will kill Song Yizi and the ungrateful man!!"
After hearing all Xiang Yu's experience today, Fan Zeng smiled: "Ji'er, but he doesn't know the villain's heart. I expected that Song Yi must have received the heavy gift from Tian Dan of Qi, otherwise he would not have proposed to lead troops to Qi to help Tian Dan at this time."
"Father Ya! The problem now is not that Song Yi confiscated the heavy gifts from Qi State, but that Song Yi would draw 60,000 yuan in total. If this continues, only 100,000 people will remain in Chu State, and the ungrateful person will not agree to hand over the troops to me to avenge my uncle's revenge." Xiang Yu was most concerned about that Song Yi was going to take away one-third of the troops from Chu State, rather than Song Yi confiscated the heavy gifts from Tian Dan of Qi State.
Fan Zeng smiled slightly and put down the booklet in his hand: "Don't be impatient. Everything may not be absolute. You have to look at both good and bad things for one thing. Now King Huai is very suspicious of me, Xiang. You will definitely not succeed in asking King Huai for troops. However, Song Yi asked King Huai for military power of 60,000 troops this time, which gave you an excellent opportunity, but it depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."
Xiang Yu showed a trace of ferocious look on his face, and he put his palms together into a knife shape to make a slashing gesture: "What does Yafu mean to win Song Yi, like this?"
Fan Zeng didn't continue to say anything, but showed a mysterious smile and quietly continued to pick up the book on the table and read it. Xiang Yu, who was opposite, got up and left, as if he was going to do some important things.
Half a month later.
Song Yi brought 60,000 ordinary soldiers of the Chu army and more than 24,000 elite Xiang soldiers to Anyang, where Qi Chu was handed over. In front of him, there was a territory of Qi. It was rumored that the soldiers in Yan who were attacking Qi were likely to appear, so out of caution, Song Yi ordered the army to station and rest in Anyang.
Seeing the more than 24,000 elite Xiang soldiers wearing fine armor and holding sharp battle blades, Song Yi couldn't help but remember that Xiang Yu suddenly changed his mind half a month ago, ran to Song Yi and whispered to apologize for his previous rude behavior. He also offered to express his willingness to place 20,000 Xiang soldiers under his command as an additional help for Song Yi's dispatch of troops this time.
Originally out of caution, Song Yi did not intend to have anything to do with Xiang Yu, a member of the Xiang family, but when he heard that Xiang Yu was willing to hand over the command of the Xiang family's soldiers to him, Song Yi suddenly had a wonderful idea.
‘If he could get allegiance from Xiang Yu and the tens of thousands of elite forces behind him, could King Huai of Chu really restrain himself? Is it possible that he would become the actual controller of Chu like the previous general Xiang Liang?’ It was this idea that made Song Yi change his original idea. When he was about to set off, he walked from King Huai of Chu in the name of using Xiang Yu’s courage and placed Xiang Yu and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Xiang family behind him into his command.
"Go and call the Major General, I have something to say to him." When he walked into the tent, Song Yi immediately asked his son Song Xiang to come, but he had some words to explain to the eldest son who was going to Qi State to serve as prime minister.
If you want to know what happens next, you will see that you will not tear down again...
