Chapter 23 Fan Zeng's Visit

Although Mi Xin had expected Xiao Gongjiao's visit, he was still a little surprised. He couldn't imagine that Xiang Yu sent people here to force him to abdicate.

But thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yu should not have such courage at this time, and Xiao Gongjiao's visit must have profound meaning.

Mi Xin let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Chen Ying who was aside. Chen Ying was also looking at Mi Xin. The two looked at each other. Chen Ying nodded slightly, and Mi Xin shouted: "Let him in!"

Bi Ren sang his promise and left. Soon, Xiao Gongjiao followed Bi Ren respectfully and walked into the side hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Gongjiao hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "The last general, Xiao Gongjiao, See the King."

"Xiao Qing, there is no need to be polite." Mi Xin raised her hand and said, "Tell me, why is Xiang Yu asking you to come?"

"The last general has brought the general's handbook and asked your Majesty to read it." Xiao Gongjiao stepped forward and handed a bamboo slip to Bi Ren. After Bi Ren took it, he presented it to Mi Xin with both hands. Mi Xin took a look at it and saw that his His face had turned red, and his anger had made him dizzy. Mi Xin threw the bamboo slips to the ground and said angrily: "Go back and tell Xiang Yu that I am not allowed!"

"But... Your Majesty, the General has given you some parting instructions to think twice."

"Get out!" Mi Xin pointed to the outside of the palace. He could no longer contain the anger in his heart and shouted: "Get out!"

Xiao Gongjiao was scolded by Mi Xin. He was extremely frightened. He hurriedly bowed to Mi Xin and fled out of the palace. When Xiao Gongjiao escaped without a trace, Chen Ying got up, walked over and picked up the bamboo slips. After reading it, Xiang Yu asked Mi Xin in the bamboo slips to cancel Liu Bang's decision as King of Guanzhong.

This is indeed a bit excessive. Mi Xin promised back then that he would be the first to enter Guanzhong, but Wang Guanzhong, this is obvious to all. Does Xiang Yu want Mi Xin to openly regret it?

Moreover, Xiang Yu has already become a general and asked Mi Xin to commit the following crime. He doesn’t know, does this require beheading?

But having said that, Xiang Yu has an army of 100,000, and is supported by a coalition of 100,000 troops. What does Liu Bang have? With only more than 100,000 troops, how can he compete with Xiang Yu? Besides, Xiang Zhuang still has 50,000 troops under his command. If they are in Guanzhong In a fierce fight, Liu Bang will be defeated!

Thinking of this, Chen Ying walked to Mi Xin and sighed: "Your Majesty, should you think about this matter carefully?"

"What are you thinking about? No one should advise me on this matter. I will not allow Xiang Yu to act recklessly!" Mi felt resentful, snorted coldly, and walked out of the palace.

Watching Mi Xin's leaving figure, Chen Ying shook his head helplessly. If he offended Xiang Yu, Mi Xin might never live in peace!



The fire in Afang Palace was still burning. Along with the fire in Afang Palace, Xianyang Palace was smashed by the Chu army and set on fire. At this time, Xianyang City was in chaos, the people were displaced, and many people were in panic.

Xiang Yu also followed the fire in Xianyang Palace and led his troops to evacuate Xianyang and built a camp outside the city. At this time, in the camp, Xiang Yu held the military book in his hand and looked at it section by section. On the side, Long Qie smiled brightly and said: " General, Xianyang Palace is almost burned down, where is our next target?"

Xiang Yu was interrupted by Long Qie. He looked at the map on the side, then at the crowd, and ordered: "Burn Ganquan Palace!"

"Here." Long Qie stood up and was about to leave. Fan Zeng's hoarse voice sounded from the side: "Slow down!"

Long Qie paused. He turned back and looked at Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng looked at everyone and said: "Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses, surrounded by mountains, and there are major checkpoints to resist foreign enemies. It is the land of Longxing. General If we destroy Xianyang unscrupulously, how will we be able to reach the land of Guanzhong in the future?"

"Enter Guanzhong?" Xiang Yu asked back, and couldn't help laughing: "When did I say that I would settle here?"

"If you don't stay here, where does the general want to go?"

"I want to return to the Chu land, I want to revive the Chu country!" Xiang Yu replied very decisively. Fan Zeng couldn't help being shocked, and said anxiously: "If God doesn't take it, you will regret it later!"

"There's no need to say it, Yafu, I've made up my mind!" Xiang Yu didn't have the patience to discuss this issue any further. He looked at Long Qie and loudly ordered: "Go and burn the Ganquan Palace."

Long Qie sang his promise and was about to turn around when he asked again: "But, what should we do with the women in Ganquan Palace?"

"Take them all away and return to Chu State. I will reward the soldiers!"

"Well, I'll do it right away." Long Qie cupped his hands and left in a hurry.



After Xiang Zhuang led his army to leave Bahe, he went north along the Bahe River and set up camp west of Xianyang. At this time, more than half a month had passed. During this period, no one in Xiangzhuang visited him, including various officials.

General and Han Wangcheng, Wu Rui, Zhao Xie and others who hurried to Xianyang.

It can be said that Xiang Zhuang has seen through Xiang Yu's next plan. At this time, any futile running is useless. Only waiting and watching the changes is what a wise man does.

When he had nothing to do in the past few days, Xiang Zhuang would play chess with Kong Ji. In later generations, there was a kind of chess that was designed to imitate the struggle between Chu and Han. After Xiang Zhuang ordered people to make the chess pieces, he taught Kong Ji and Li You how to play chess.

Zhou Sheng and others competed with everyone from time to time, and it was the same today. Xiang Zhuang called Kong Ji, and the two of them were very happy.

Kong Yu and others who were supposed to arrive in Xianyang half a month ago were delayed due to a sudden heavy snowfall in Guanzhong. At this time, they were trapped in Shangdi and could not move forward. However, the heavy snow failed to prevent Xiang Yu from burning the palace and destroying it.

Xianyang.

History is still progressing step by step, nothing has changed, but the persuasion of the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain still echoes in Xiangzhuang's ears every day. Where to go is indeed a difficult decision, but Xiangzhuang does not

No regrets, he will never regret the path he chose.

Just when Xiang Zhuang was distracted, Kong Ji's urging voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hurry, it's your turn!"

After being interrupted by Kong Ji, Xiang Zhuang realized that he was distracted again and unknowingly remembered the words of the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain. Although these words often echoed in his ears, Xiang Zhuang would not think about it deeply.

These.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Xiang Zhuang picked up a rook, pushed it forward, and said with a smile: "General."

"Alas...lost again." Kong Ji smiled helplessly. Ever since he learned chess, Kong Ji gradually fell in love with this thing, but he rarely defeated Xiang Zhuang. Now he lost again. Kong Ji

Disappointed, he picked up the chess pieces and prepared to play a new game, but outside the tent, a personal report sounded: "General, Mr. Fan is here, asking for an audience outside the camp!"

"Who?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe his ears. Why did Fan Zeng come to his camp in the heavy snow? But outside, the follower affirmed again: "It is indeed Mr. Fan."

"Well, hurry up and assemble the troops to greet Mr. Fan." Xiang Zhuang put down the chess pieces in his hand and stood up in a hurry, but he felt it was inappropriate. He turned back to Kong Ji and smiled: "You come with me, I will greet you personally.

.”

After a stick of incense, rumbling drums sounded in the Chu camp. After a burst of war horses galloping, Xiang Zhuang and others rode their horses to the camp gate. At this time, Fan Zeng had already entered the camp and marched towards the Chinese army. Xiang Zhuang

He happened to see Fan Zeng in a hurry on the horse. He hurriedly came up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Fan is a rare visitor."

"Haha, you and I are both Chu soldiers, and I am your brother's counselor. How can I be a rare visitor?" Fan Zeng laughed heartily and said, "General Xiangzhuang is too polite."

The two of them raised their heads and laughed. At this time, Xiang Zhuang had arrived beside Fan Zeng. He dismounted, handed the reins to his attendant, pointed in the direction of the Chinese army, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, please."

Arriving at the Chinese army's tent, Cao Wushang hurriedly brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two of them. After that, Cao Wushang came behind Xiang Zhuang, holding the hilt of his sword and standing upright.

Fan Zeng was not in a hurry to speak at this time. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. A wave of heat surged into his heart, and the chill in his body dissipated a little. At this time, Fan Zeng looked at Xiangzhuang and sighed: "Xianyang City has been enveloped in flames.

, the people are displaced and miserable. If this continues, the people in Guanzhong will be unstable and jealous of the Chu people. Could it be that, after a few years, when they turn over, they will not attack the Chu people again? "

Fan Zeng said his excitement, his voice trembled slightly, and then he said: "I also tried to dissuade the general and let him stay in Guanzhong and not destroy the palace, so as to ensure that the Chu army will last for thousands of years, but he..."

"Oh? Staying in Guanzhong? I'd really like to hear Mr. Fan's advice." Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but become interested.

Fan Zeng glanced at Cao Wushang behind Xiang Zhuang and Kong Ji beside him. Xiang Zhuang understood, put down the tea cup in his hand, turned around and ordered: "You all go down, I want to have a good chat with Mr. Fan."

The two of them chanted a promise and left. At this time, Fan Zeng also put down his teacup. He sighed first and then said: "Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses, and there are Hangu Pass and Wuguan as barriers. Once there is a rebellion in Guandong, Chu will

The army can go out to quell the rebellion. Even if the Chu army is unable to quell the rebellion, it can still rely on natural dangers to stick to one side and resist foreign enemies. If the general does not take this heavenly kingdom, how long will it take?"

After Xiang Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. What Fan Zeng said was what Xiang Zhuang wanted the most. Staying in Guanzhong is indeed a good place. But according to history, Xiang Yu will not stay in Guanzhong. The so-called return home in glory, how could Xiang Yu not return?

Pengcheng?

But Xiang Zhuang couldn't elaborate on some words. He looked at Fan Zeng, then at the sword in his hand, and sighed: "If my brother really wants to return to Bingchu, it will be like giving up the treasure to Liu Bang. This will destroy his future. If

I, I will move Liu Bang to Shu, deep in the mountains, Liu Bang will do nothing."

"General Xiangzhuang is really good at strategy. This is also my opinion. I guess the general will consider this." Fan Zeng stood up with a smile, dusted off his knees, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I

Let’s just say goodbye.”

"Wait a minute." Xiang Zhuang called to Fan Zeng. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Before Mr. Fan leaves, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Why should General Xiangzhuang be so polite? But it doesn't matter."

"If my brother really wants to return to Pengcheng, the world is so big that it is inevitable that all countries will not flock to rebel. I think that my brother must have a strong helper to resist the pressure from all sides, and that person must be me!"

"That's for sure." Fan Zeng smiled, and Xiang Zhuang added: "Then, Mr. Fan, please help me in front of my brother. I want...the land of Jiangdong."

Xiang Zhuang paused for a moment and stared at Fan Zeng closely. Xiang Zhuang was determined to win the land east of Jiangdong, and Fan Zeng was also a smart man. He knew very well what it would mean if Xiang Zhuang consolidated Jiangdong. Moreover, the Qin State

Although destroyed, no one can predict what the future will look like when the Six Kingdoms recover. Only when Xiang Yu has strong helpers can he stabilize his own strength.

"I will definitely help General Xiangzhuang, don't worry." Fan Zeng bowed his hand again.
