The death of King Chu Mourning was just a streak among many stars. With the support of old ministers such as Lian Yixiang, Huang Xie, Sun Shuao and others, Young Master Yi ascended the throne and was called the First King of Chu.

Historically, Xiong Yi was the great-grandson of Wan Xiong. During his reign, Xiong Yi developed production, expanded territory, took firewood carts, wore rags to open up Jingshan Mountain, traveled through mountains and rivers to pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou, and assisted King Kang of Zhou with the kings of Qi, Lu and other countries.

Through the efforts of several generations of monarchs from Xiong Yi to Xiong Qu, Chu's territory continued to expand and its national strength continued to increase, developing from a small country with a radius of only fifty miles to a large country.

Now because Han Yi, an arrogant and famous king, also appeared at the intersection of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu Shi King, who had just ascended the throne, recalled Xiang Yan, who was reclusive at home, and made him the general of the country. At the same time, he also named Xiang Yu and several others.

One day, Ying City issued a new order to reduce taxes. The people completely forgot that King Chu Shi was a guy who killed his father to seize the throne. Everyone thought of him well.

At the same time, he also ordered Sun Jian to return to Chu, but Sun Jian was in vain. He won most of the territory of Yue and refused to go back. He treated the soldiers by saying that Young Master Yi killed his father to seize the throne, and was an unkind and unjust person. He didn't stop him if he wanted to go back, and Sun Ce

He loved his soldiers as his own son, and all of a sudden the 80,000-strong army did not leave. He followed Sun Jian to conquer the country and became Sun Jian's private army.

King Chu Shi kept listening to the report, his face was calm, and he was relieved in his heart. The people are like this, as long as you give him a little benefit, they will think of you.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Sun Jian refused to return to the country and is now taking people to the Yue Kingdom."

"I got it" King Chu Shi was not surprised at all.

Huang Xie next to him was furious that they were bastards.

King Chu Shi watched all this calmly, took a sip of tea and said: "Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan who are only eight years old should not be underestimated, especially that Sun Quan."

"What does this mean, Your Majesty!" Huang Xie was obviously puzzled and hoped that King Chu Shi would give him an answer.

"Nothing, our current target is Xiang Yu. The Xiang family has a huge power in our Chu country. Now they guard half of Jingzhou, so we have to guard against it!" King Chu Shi said meaningfully.

"The king means to uproot them," Huang Xie said sinisterly, as if they were Xiang Yu.

King Chu Shi smiled and said: "That's not necessary. Just send a few generals to guard other places. After all, Han Yi wouldn't dare to go down there with them."

"But are you just going to give up this county to them?" Huang Xie said unwillingly.

King Chu Shi said calmly: "Based on our current situation, we are surrounded by dangers. If we are not careful, we will capsize in the ditch. We have an army of 150,000 on the surface, but only 80,000 are under our control. In addition,

Sun Jian lost 80,000 troops and horses, and we have established a strong enemy in the east. Now it is not easy to make enemies with the Xiang people."

“They are too cheap”

"Okay! Pass on the order. The Xiang people have worked hard and granted Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and three places to them, and asked them to hand over Guiyang. Now they can get one by one."

"What if they refuse?"

"Just hit him." King Chu Shi's dark eyes exuded strength.

Huang Xie also began to be shocked by this momentum, and at the same time he was also excited that he had chosen a good lord.

changsha,

Xiang Liang, who was preparing to attack, received the edict from King Chu Shi. He saw a white and pink eunuch walking over. He cleared his throat and said, "Xiang Liang receives the edict."

At this time, Xiang Liang was obviously unwilling to accept the offer, but Fan Zeng next to him kept winking and said helplessly: "I'm here."

"The Xiang clan has made great contributions to their hard work. Now I make Xiang Yan the general who controls the country. Since the Xiang clan has made great contributions in resisting the Korean soldiers, I specially make Xiang Liang the Duke of Xiang Zhuang. The fiefdoms are Changsha, Wuling, and Lingling within one month.

Release the guards from three places and return them to Guiyang." The eunuch finished reading in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Liang next to him was half happy and half worried. He was happy that he had become the king, but he was worried that it sounded nice on the surface. He had to withdraw the garrison from the three places, but he was not willing to hand over half of his troops and Guiyang.

, isn’t this cutting your own flesh?

Xiang Bo also said thoughtfully: "My father-in-law is tired from the journey. Please go down and rest. I have prepared wine and food."

"Okay okay"

Xiang Liang's uncertain face said everything. He looked at Fan Zeng and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Fan Zeng calmly said: "I have two more plans. One is to establish other members of the Chu royal family, occupy the great righteousness, and attack Ying City in the name of killing their fathers and seizing the throne. This plan is dangerous. The other is to accept the order and select the best soldiers to survive the fittest.

Hand over Guiyang according to what they said, and plan it slowly. This plan is safe but risky."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Xiang Liang was confused.

"We occupy three places, and there is almost no room for development. On the surface, there is nothing. There is a short-term peace, but behind it is endless darkness."

"I don't think so. Now that Wu State has conquered the border with our land, as long as we use it properly, I'm afraid we won't be able to conquer a single territory." Xiang Bo objected quickly.

After all, this kind of important event of becoming a king is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

"The state of Wu has generals Sun Wu, three heroes of the Wu family, Lu Bu and other generals. Their troops are three times ours. If we fight them, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg."

"There are thousands of generals in the world, but none of them can compare with Yu'er. With Yu'er alone, he can defeat tens of thousands of powerful soldiers." Xiang Bo's confidence is not blind. Even Shan Xiongxin believes that such a thousand-man enemy will be defeated by Xiang Yu.

Can't even make it through a round.

"You are using strong words, can this be the same..."

"I think you are...,"

"That's enough, this opportunity is once in a lifetime, I have to seize it and tell them that I agreed." After Xiang Liang said that, he left, leaving behind a complacent Xiang Bo and a helpless Fan Zeng.

In fact, Xiang Liang also has his own considerations, and what Xiang Bo said just now has gone into his heart. Xiang Yu only listens to himself in this world, not even Xiang Yan. He must also build a foundation for him.

, after all, he has no son and regards him as his own, so he also has a selfish side.

The New Year is approaching. If we send troops to Yingcheng at this time, there is no question whether it will succeed or not. Moreover, Xiang Yan is still in their hands. He is now under the control of others and cannot act recklessly. At least he will not attack Chu while his father is alive and let him settle down.

Spend your old age.

The snowflakes flying all over the sky made people couldn't help but go back to the house, but Han Yi didn't feel very good. After coming back, all kinds of things happened as promised. In addition to government affairs during the day, he also had to warm the beds for those women at night.

Whether he is here to enjoy or to suffer, even he is beginning to be confused.

"My lord, Lord Wang Meng has put down the rebellion, and General Mengyuan has sent people here."

"Xuan"

I saw a veteran running over. It was extremely cold. Han Yi looked at it and couldn't bear to say: "Give him some clothes."

"promise"

"What are you doing here!"

"The Dugu family said that if the king wants to gain their support, he must marry their young lady."
