Chapter two hundred and seventy fifth peak

The disagreement plan designed by the famous Zhao place Kuai Che for Xiang Yu was not only disgusted with Xiang Kang, but also directly helped Xiang Yu recuperate his injuries. It was determined that Kuai Che's plan was foolproof, which made his cousin Xiang Kang, who was both jealous and envious, be about to be defeated. In a good mood, Xiang Yu's injury recovery speed also greatly accelerated. In addition, An Qisheng, a famous doctor who even respected Qin Shihuang, carefully treated it. The injury of Xiang Yu's right eye that had been dragged down for a long time, was finally completely healed, and could no longer affect Xiang Yu's daily life and command troops.

It was indeed a suffocation. An Qisheng finally announced that Xiang Yu could ride a horse to fight again. The first thing Xiang Yu did was to ride a black horse out of his unfinished palace, knocking over dozens of pedestrians all the way, rushing directly out of the south gate of Pengcheng, running back and forth on the banks of the Sishui River, shouting and galloping wildly, and was so happy that he seemed to be crazy. No one of the confidants of Xiang Yu, including Cao Ju, Xiang Bo, Fan, and other Xiang Yu, could only say a word of advice, but they all burst into tears and choked out, "I finally got through it, I finally got through this period."

It was not that joyfulness brought about sorrow, but that it was inevitable. After finally waiting for Xiang Yu to return to the city, he returned to his Western Chu Palace and sat down. Xiang Yu, who was extremely excited, had just ordered a banquet to thank An Qisheng, who had worked hard and made great contributions. Sima Hu's messenger sent the damn letter to Pengcheng. Because the letter was sealed, Cao Ju, who came to receive the letter, did not dare to open the letter that Xiang Yu personally received without authorization, and submitted it to Xiang Yu himself.

"The urgent letter of the King of Henan?" When he received the letter, Xiang Yu, who was excited, felt moved again and said happily: "Is it because Mr. Kuai Che's trick that worked? Li Shang changed his flag and rebelled against the Han Dynasty. The King of Henan reported the good news to me?"

"It's 80% like this, and it's time to be effective." Master Xiang Bo rushed to answer. An Qisheng, who happened to be present, exchanged a glance with Kuai Che, and it was confirmed that this was definitely not good news. If the plan of disagreement really worked, it would definitely be Yingbu Pegasus who helped Xiang Yu send envoys to contact Li Shang. Then Sima Hu, who was in the Central Plains, robbed the merits?

The situation was naturally caused by An Qisheng and Kuai Che. Before Sima Su's letter was finished, Xiang Yu's face turned black and then it became darker quickly. His confidants Cao Ju and Old Man Fan saw something wrong and asked, "King, what happened?"

Xiang Yu threw the bamboo slips he had read to Cao Ju and continued to look at the remaining bamboo slips. Cao Ju hurriedly took them with Old Man Fan to look closely. Master Xiang Bo also came up to see them in a big way, and then screamed in a whistle, "What? The little evil beast Xiang Kang's little evil beast was discovered in advance? Emperor Yi also hid an edict secretly in the brocade belt and sent it to Xianyang to give it to Xiang Kang's little evil beast, and asked the little evil beast to raise an army to attack us?"

Before Master Xiang's shouting was over, An Qisheng and Kuai Che smiled bitterly together, and then quickly exchanged a glance and said to each other: "The counterattack is so fast! The target is directly aimed at the vital points of the King of Western Chu. The King of Han is indeed cruel enough!"

At this time, Xiang Yu had quickly read all the letters of Sima Xu, who was written by Li Zuoche, and threw all the remaining bamboo slips to Cao Ju and Old Man Fan. Xiang Yu jumped up and walked back and forth quickly in the hall with his hands and black face. Cao Ju and Old Man Fan knew that this was a signal that Xiang Yu was extremely angry, so he quickly read Li Zuoche's letter's general care. Then Old Man Fan did not discuss with Cao Ju and immediately said: "King calm down! The King of Henan is right. Xiang Kang's dissident made such shameless rumors. The purpose is to distract you from the relationship between you and the Emperor of Yi. You must not be fooled!"

"No evidence! How dare you determine that there is no such edict on the garment?" Xiang Yu asked sternly.

"Please calm down, Emperor Yi of Chu is not a fool. Now he is in Pengcheng, and he can't help but take the life and death. How dare you take such a big risk to issue such an edict?" Old Man Fan asked hurriedly, and said, "Besides, Emperor Yi's palace is controlled by General Xiang Tu. How can he send people to Xianyang to pass an edict to Xiang Kang's rebel ministers?"

Old Man Fan's persuasion made Xiang Yu calm down a little, and Cao Ju quickly said: "King, what Mr. Fan said is very true. This matter is all the same as Xiang Kang's rebel minister. The king must not believe it easily. It is necessary to find out the truth first and then make a decision."

Cao Ju and Old Man Fan still had a great influence on Xiang Yu. Seeing that both of them opposed not believing rumors, Xiang Yu was still somewhat rational and calmed down to analyze whether this matter was his unethical cousin who was provoking the disagreement. During this period, Kuai Che was anxious to show his feelings and asked to read the letters together. Unexpectedly, Master Xiang Bo turned his eyes and shouted: "What is your identity? Is he qualified to read the secret letter written by the King of Henan to the King?"

Kuai Che looked embarrassed. Fortunately, Xiang Yu's impression of Kuai Che had improved a lot, and he took the initiative to say, "Let Mr. Kuai Che take a look."

Kuai Che thanked him, and then took the letter from Master Xiang Bo, who was reluctant, and took it into his hand and looked carefully. Then he quickly said: "King, the King of Henan has a very high opinion of the King of Henan. Ninety-nine percent of the so-called robbery is Xiang Kang's rebellion who fabricated the relationship between you and the Emperor of Yi. If you fall into a trap, then you will definitely lose all the advantages of respecting the emperor to make the princes. And if you take a step back, even if the robbery is really the case, you must not be impulsive at the moment. When the troops enter Guanzhong and conquer Xianyang, it will not be too late to deal with the robbery based on real evidence!"

Xiang Yu had a gloomy face and quickly thought about it. After a long time, he suddenly shouted: "I reply to Sima Huo and ask him to escort the envoy of Xiang Kang's rebel traitor immediately. I will interrogate you personally! Then give Xiang it orders, and ask him to take down all the close servants and palace maids around Emperor Yi, and send someone to interrogate carefully. I must ask the king the truth. Did Emperor Yi send someone to Xianyang to contact Xiang Kang's rebel traitor? In addition, a thousand troops will be dispatched to surround the Yi Emperor's rebel palace and guard it closely. If anyone enters and leaves without authorization, beheaded!"

"King, doing this will bring you a reputation..."

"Stop!" Xiang Yu interrupted Kuai Che's dissuasion with a dark face and said angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't interrupt!"

Kuai Che shut up helplessly, exchanged a glance with An Qisheng next to him, and sighed inwardly, "It turns out that he is brave but not smart. Xiang Kang's vicious plan has a chance to succeed this time."

Because of this episode, Xiang Yu's banquet that thanked An Qisheng for helping An Qisheng ended in a bad mood. Before the banquet was removed, Xiang Yu ordered his most trusted third uncle Xiang Bo to personally preside over the trial of Xiong Xin's palace maid. Xiang Bo must also ask carefully and find out whether Xiong Xin issued a robbery. Xiang Bo was working hard on this matter. He ignored the situation and immediately went to the Yidi Palace to handle the matter, leaving Old Man Fan and Cao Ju to persuade Xiang Yu to calm down in the palace of the Western Chu Palace, and never be fooled by Xiang Kang again.

Unfortunately, Master Xiang's hard work did not receive corresponding rewards. No matter how severely tortured and coerceded or tempted the Chu army officials under his command, the nearby palace maids around Xiong Xin refused to confess truthfully, telling him when Chu Yidi Xiong Xin sent someone to Guanzhong to issue a robbery to Xiang Kang, which made Master Xiang rarely scolded him by his eldest nephew Xiang Yu, accusing him of being ineffective in his work, and was very dirty.

On the contrary, Xiang Yu's decision to capture all Xiong Xin's close servants and strictly block the Yi Emperor Palace was also questioned by many old ministers of the Chu Ting, including Chen Ying and Zhao Ping, who carefully asked Xiang Yu about the reasons for doing so. After Xiang Kang made the situation public, many old ministers of the Chu Ting swear, saying that Xiong Xin would never do such a thing, and asked Xiang Yu to believe in Xiong Xin and immediately lift the blockade of Xiong Xin's palace. Of course, Xiang Yu refused, and the conflict with the Chu Ting's old ministers also deepened quickly.

Finally, Xiang Yu also listened to the advice of Old Man Fan and Cao Ju, sat down and calmly pushed Xiong Xin. As a result, Xiong Xin was of course shouting for justice, and swore that the ancestors of Chu had never done such a thing, and also took the initiative to express his willingness to issue an edict to denounce Xiang Kang's shameless act of forging the edict. However, Xiang Yu was willing to believe his explanation? In addition to barely suppressing his anger and not rushing to pursue Xiong Xin's responsibility, he still refused to lift the blockade of Xiong Xin's palace, imprisoning Xiong Xin in the deep palace and not allowed to go out.

Fortunately, Xiong Xin's power has been deprived of all, and the position of the puppet is no longer so attractive. Jing Ju, a relative of the Chu clan who had been fighting with Xiong Xin before, did not jump out and take the blame, fan the flames and use Xiang Yu's hand to kill Xiong Xin. However, as Li Zuoche expected, Xiang Kang did have a chance to do so. Not long after much time, Ying Bu also sent someone to contact Xiang Yu. In addition to reporting that the plan of disagreement had been resolved by Xiang Kang, he also said that Xiang Kang also sent someone to contact him, claiming that he had a belt edict issued by Xiong Xin in his hand, persuading Ying Bu to abandon the secret and turn to Ming, and join forces with him to fight Xiang Yu, a traitor who is so ruthless!

Ying Bu's report certainly made Xiang Yu feel suspicious again. Fortunately, Old Man Fan and Kuai Che, who had barely gained Xiang Yu's trust, immediately pointed out that it was said that Xiang Kang was just setting up an illusion, hoping that others would think that he really had a so-called lace edict in his hands, and he was ill-behaved. He also clearly pointed out that Xiang Kang would definitely contact other princes, claiming that he had the so-called lace edict.

This was indeed reported by Old Man Fan and Kuai Che. After only one day, Sima Xin, the King of Taiyuan, sent a special envoy to Pengcheng. In addition to taking the initiative to hand over the letter from Xiang Kang to encourage him to betray Xiang Yu, he also entrusted the Han army envoy whom Xiang Kang had sent to contact him to express his loyalty. He also told Xiang Kang's envoy to claim in front of him that Xiang Kang had a robbery in his hand. Xiang Yu was very happy to hear the news and immediately ordered someone to take the Han army envoy to face and torture him.

This time, Xiang Yu finally asked something valuable, and could not withstand the torture of Xiang Yu's guards. The Han army envoy was forced to tell the truth, admitting that Xiang Kang did have a Xiong Xin edict written in blood, and asked him to memorize the content of the edict in front of Sima Xin to recite it, in order to prove that he did have such an edict in his hand. Xiang Yu was even more happy when he heard about it and hurriedly shouted: "Remember it quickly! What is that edict?"

"The king forgives the crime. When a villain is betrayed, he will have disrespectful words to you. Emperor Yi's blood edict said: The world is unlucky, and even if the tyrannical Qin is destroyed, the traitor Xiang Yu is ruthless and rebellious. He resists my orders and rewards and punishments. Xiang Kang, the right general of Chu, first entered Guanzhong but was not allowed to be granted a real title. He did not ask my wishes, and he divided the title without authorization, formed a party to gain power, deceived the king and harm the people, and was unkind and evil, and accumulated evil! Xiang Kang, the former anti-Qin Yi Banner, urging the people to attack the crime, sweeping Huai and Si, and breaking Guanzhong, and made great contributions to the world. I now actually appointed Xiang Kang as the King of Han, and ordered King Xiang Kang of Han to merge with the martyrs who are loyal and righteous in the world, destroy the treacherous party, and regain the world! I entrust you to pay me a letter and be careful again and do not let my wishes down."

The Han army envoy had a good memory and recited Xiong Xin's blood edict almost word by word. After hearing Xiong Xin's edict ordering Xiang Kang to attack him, Xiang Yu not only did not get furious, but instead laughed out loud, and smiled at Old Man Fan, Cao Ju, Kuai Che and others present with an extremely ferocious voice, saying, "Did you hear it clearly? The King of Chu, which was supported by our Xiang family, and the Emperor of Yi, who was personally supported by our King, repay our Xiang family, repay our King like this, and repay our King like this."

Cao Ju's talent was indeed mediocre. After hearing what Xiang Yu almost squeezed out from his teeth, he didn't even dare to let out a breath. He could only turn his gaze for help to Old Man Fan. Unfortunately, Old Man Fan was at a loss now. Although he knew that the so-called blood edict was definitely forged by Xiang Kang, he could not provide evidence. Only Kuai Che muster up the courage and looked up and said, "King, what if it is true? Emperor Yi is now in Pengcheng. With one word, the real edict can become a fake edict. Why do you care, the king?"

"Why can't I care about this?" Xiang Yu finally roared and roared: "The Emperor Yi, whom I personally supported, is now colluding with thieves to harm me. Do you still have to swallow your anger?"

Kuai Che also had no choice but to shut up his mouth and quickly figured out how to stop Xiang Yu from acting impulsively. Xiang Bo on the other side looked relaxed and suddenly thought of another important question and hurriedly said: "Nephew, something is wrong. Why did Sima Xin send someone to send Xiang Kang's envoy to the little evil beast, and there is no movement on Zhang Han? Logically speaking, Xiang Kang's little evil beast encourages the princes of the world to rebel against you, so it is impossible for him to forget Zhang Han?"

It was still Xiang Bo reminded that Xiang Yu suddenly remembered an important question - Xiang Kang formed gangs everywhere to form enemies with him, how could he forget Zhang Han, one of his father-in-laws? On alert, Xiang Yu quickly asked the Han army envoy who was still in the hall: "Xiang Kang's rebel traitor, have you sent someone to contact Zhang Han and Dong Yi?"

"Good King, I don't know." The Han army envoy, who had been beaten to death, quickly shook his head and said, "The villain just took the order with the envoy sent to Nanyang. I don't know if the Han king sent someone to contact Zhang Han."

"Are you taking the order with the envoy sent to Nanyang?" Xiang Yu was very surprised and asked hurriedly: "Xiang Kang's rebel traitor, did he also send someone to contact Liu Ji?"

The Han army envoy nodded quickly and admitted frankly that he was the envoy sent by Xiang Kang to contact Liu Laosan to receive the order. Xiang Yu was even more shocked and furious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Liu Jizhanghan, Xiang Kang's thief secretly interacted with you, but he dared not report to me!"

When Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, Kuai Che's eyes were completely turned pale and he had to say admiration: "Okay, you little Xiang Kang, you are really one after another. You deliberately did not send someone to contact Zhang Han, and you deliberately let the dead know that you had sent someone to contact Liu Ji and would not break up the princes of the world into pieces. You would never be willing to do so! The evil plan of the alienation has reached your level, and it is also a perfect achievement."

Admiration is just as in history. Kuai Che's principle is to show no mercy to the enemy whoever serves. After a little calculation, Kuai Che quickly said: "King, from the foolish opinion of the ministers, since Emperor Yi is so suspicious, for the sake of safety, it is better to move him to Fujian (Fujian) to establish a capital, so that he can stay away from Xiang Kang's traitors and princes outside the pass. Even if he has any unfair intentions, he will not be able to perform. Please allow the king."

Old Man Fan, who was worried, lit his eyes and immediately understood that Kuai Che's suggestion was not only to avoid Xiang Yu's impulse, but also to not give Xiang Kang the opportunity to continue to sow discord and split the princes outside the pass. He also immediately said to Kuai Che: "King, what Doctor Kuai said is very true. The fact of the edict is difficult to distinguish between true and false. For the sake of caution, the king would better move Emperor Yi to a remote place immediately, so that he can stay away from the Central Plains and Xiang Kang's rebels, and he will no longer cause any harm to you."

After saying that, Old Man Fan quietly winked at Cao Ju. Cao Ju understood. Although he did not understand the good intentions of Old Man Fan and Kuai Che, he still stood up and tried his best to persuade him. After Xiang Yu had thought about it over and over again, he found that he did not have any ironclad evidence in his hands. It would be criticized to kill Xiong Xin like this. It would be better to impose Xiong Xin in a smoky place on the frontier and let him fend for himself. He nodded and said, "Okay, just do it."

Hearing this, Kuai Che quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart a little proudly: "King of Han, Xiang Kang, don't think that you are the only smart person in the world. No matter how you arrange it carefully, as long as the King of Western Chu does not fall into your plan and does not abolish or kill Emperor Yi, the emperor will still be in the hands of the King of Western Chu with the advantage of ordering the princes. When you use troops against the King of Western Chu, you will still be named Wuming."

Kuai Che may have been too happy too early. The matter was not over. In the evening of that day, Master Xiang Bo, who had been busy for a day, dragged his tired body back to his mansion that was as luxurious as a duke and marquis. Before he could take a breath, his precious son Xiang You had already come up and said quickly with a nervous expression: "Aweng, Uncle Zhang has sent someone to you and brought you his handwritten letter."

"Uncle Zhang? That Uncle Zhang?" Uncle Xiang was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang, the Situ of Korea." Xiang You said in surprise: "Isn't he your best friend? Ah Weng, you lived in his house for so long, why did you forget him?"

Xiang Bo slapped his forehead and then remembered that he had a close friend named Zhang Mingliang, and then he was immediately furious and roared: "That man! He actually has the face to send someone to contact me! He thought I didn't know that, so he followed Xiang Kang, the little evil beast in Yingchuan, colluded with the little evil beast, and helped the little evil beast a lot! He immediately took down the person sent by the man and sent him to the prison to be severely punished!"

"Aweng, calm down, calm down." Xiang You quickly dissuaded and said quickly: "The person sent by Uncle Zhang understands that he has served Xiang Kang, the traitor, but he has no choice but to never forget Aweng, you and him. Also, Uncle Zhang's letters are indeed extremely important, you can understand at a glance."

After saying that, Xiang You quickly took out a letter written in white silk and handed it to Xiang Bo and said, "Aweng, I have read it. It has something to do with you and our family. It is really very important."
