Chapter 142 Conspiracy

Xiang Yu shook his head, sighed and said to Fan Zeng, "Father Ya doesn't know what he wants. What Xiang Ji thinks is not military power, but avenges his uncle. Zhang Han's husband killed his uncle in Dingtao. How can I tolerate him? I want this Military power is nothing more than a decisive battle with Zhang Han, kill him, and use his head to pay tribute to his uncle's spirit in heaven,"

Fan Zeng curled his smile, nodded solemnly, and sighed, "General's loyalty and filial piety can make people feel the world, but now the government is controlled by King Huai. If the general forcibly disobeys his order, he will be despised by the people of the world. It is better to promise that Song Yi will be in charge of the commander. Then he volunteered to King Huai Ying, asking to lead the troops westward to advance all the way to Xianyang. If our army approaches Xianyang, Zhang Han will definitely lead the army back to aid. Why don’t you worry about not having the chance to fight him at that time?”

After hearing this, Xiang Yu was shocked, frowned and looked at Fan Zeng hesitantly. After a while, he said, "What Yafu said is not bad, but Xiang Ji thought it simple."

When Fan Zeng chased him out, he was ready to go a long way. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu was so easy to convince him. Just a few words made him change his original intention.

He didn't say anything else, just nodded to Xiang Yu, turned around and left.

Xiang Yu's performance made Fan Zeng understand that he agreed to let Song Yi take charge. Fan Zeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Xiang Yu valued love and friendship too much. In order to avenge Xiang Liang, he was really willing to give up his position as commander of the Chu army. The competition instead agreed to retreat to a secondary position.

After Fan Zeng left, Xiang Yu, who was awakened by him, quickly turned around and returned to the hall and asked to meet King Huai.

Xiong Xin, who had just left Chaozheng, was frustrated alone in the harem. The eunuch came to report that it was Xiang Yu asking for a meeting.

He didn't want to meet Xiang Yu, who was very disrespectful to him during the morning court, but then he thought that a large part of the military power of Chu was in the hands of the Xiang clan, so he had to invite Xiang Yu to meet in the harem.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Xiang Yu arrived at the harem. As soon as he entered the harem, he frowned when he saw the beauties in the harem walking back and forth.

Since the rebellion in Jiangdong, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang have always been clean. Xiang Liang has no female relatives around him, but Xiang Yu has no other women except Yu Ji.

Xiang Yu didn't like the kind of life with many women around him. He always felt that the life was decadent and corrupt, and it was not of any benefit to the great cause of restoring the Great Chu.

Xiang Yu, who saw many palace maids and beauties in the harem, frowned and led by an eunuch to the front of King Huai's bedroom.

Although King Huai was very unhappy, he heard that Xiang Yu was waiting outside the door and had to announce his visit.

The bedroom is not just a place for sleeping. In the outer compartment of the bedroom, there is often a room specifically used to meet ministers like a living room. Xiang Yu was the King Huai who was in this room at this time.

"Your dear, I was feeling uncomfortable in the court just now, why did you suddenly turn back?" Xiong Xin couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she met Xiang Yu alone. If Xiang Yu suddenly got angry in front of him, with his thin and dry body, I'm afraid Xiang Yu would be afraid. Just pull it hard and you can tear him into two pieces.

Hearing King Huai's question, Xiang Yu bowed and clasped his fists and said humbly: "Your Majesty, I just felt uncomfortable just now. I felt better after walking out of the palace for a while. Thinking that Zhao State is now surrounded and the military situation is urgent. Compared with the great affairs of the world, my body is really nothing. I ask you to see your Majesty to recommend someone to Your Majesty. I hope your Majesty can be approved."

"Who is my dear to recommend me?" Xiong Xin frowned and asked slightly unhappy when she heard that Xiang Yu was going to recommend me.

"Report to Your Majesty, the person I recommend is Song Yi," Xiang Yu bowed his body and said with a respectful look in his clothes: "Song Yi has also had contact with him. Although he has no close friends, he knows that he is familiar with him. Reading military books is a rare military talent. Moreover, this person is good at rhetoric and has outstanding diplomatic abilities. If he gets this person as a general, not only will our army be more wings, but even the princes of all walks of life are willing to come and help. This time he rescues Zhao will succeed.”

Xiong Xin obviously didn't expect Xiang Yu would come to recommend Song Yi. He was stunned for a while, and finally nodded and pretended to be a consideration, saying, "I will consider this matter again,"

After leaving the palace of King Huai, Xiang Yu ran straight towards Xiang Ye's military camp. Xiang Ye was seriously injured. He had wanted to visit him for a long time, but was tied to the matter in the court. At this time, he left the court. I have to first check out Xiang Ye's injuries.

After Xiang Yu left, Xiong Xin sat in the room and frowned for a while without saying anything. He couldn't understand. Xiang Yu first left angrily in the hall, obviously because he was very dissatisfied with Feng Song Yi as the general, and then why did he suddenly turn back? He strongly recommended Song Yi to him.

"There must be something tricky," Xiong Xin put one hand on her forehead, thinking hard, wanting to figure out what benefits Song Yi would do to Xiang Yu if he was in charge.

If he couldn't figure out why Xiang Yu had a 180-degree turn on this matter, he wouldn't rashly declare Song Yi as the general of Chu State. He would definitely not be able to do anything that would be beneficial to the Xiang family. If you do it, the Xiang family is too powerful. If Xiang Yu passes through Song Yi, what benefits can he get? In the future, his strategy of completely eliminating the Xiang family and taking power into his hands will become a mirror flower and water moon.

After thinking about it, Xiong Xin could not understand why Xiang Yu changed his attention. He quickly ordered someone to find a few confidant ministers to discuss the matter about the general's visit.

Not long after, all the ministers who received his summons came to his bedroom, and the group sat in analysing why Xiang Yu suddenly changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, in my foolish opinion, Song Yi's appointment as a general is not good for Xiang Yu. The reason why he wants Song Yi to be the general was entirely because he has hope for another position," he discussed for a long time, and a mouth was covered with a mouth. The minister, who looked a little stingy, bowed his fists and said to Xiong Xin.

"Your dear, why do you say this? It's okay," Xiong Xin sat up and made a gesture to the minister.

With Xiong Xin's permission, the minister lowered his head and continued, "This time I saved Zhao, my Great Chu will definitely send another army to advance westward, and advance in the two directions to achieve the goal of overthrowing the powerful Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu is eager to avenge Xiang Liang, It is bound to be the ruling position of the Western Expedition Army so that we can fight Zhang Han in the future and achieve the goal of resentment for Xiang Liang."

After hearing the minister's words, Xiong Xin nodded and said, "Since he wants to fight Zhang Han, what can I do if I hand over the Western Expedition Army to him?"

"No," as soon as Xiong Xin said, several ministers spoke almost at the same time. One of the ministers with white hair said: "Xiang Yu is a tough man. Although he is a rare general, he is very cruel. Xiangyang In the battle, after breaking through the city, he killed tens of thousands of Qin soldiers and civilians. Wherever he fought, he would be too cruel. In the eyes of the Qin people, he was a fierce and cruel villain, a butcher who killed people without blinking, and his reputation was real. It's bad. When the Qin people heard his name, they would grit their teeth in hatred. Many places that they had to pass on during this Western Expedition were important battlefields for the battle between Chu and Qin. Chen Sheng and Wu Xinjun from our Great Chu. Xiang Liang had suffered stubborn resistance from the Qin people there, and eventually suffered a crushing defeat on the Western Expedition. If Xiang Yu was appointed as the commander of the Western Expedition Army this time, he would inevitably be slaughtered all the way, and thus be subjected to stubborn resistance from the Qin people. It is because our great expedition to the West is not good,"

Xiong Xin frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Xiang Yu has now agreed to Song Yi as the commander of the Western Expedition Army. He will definitely volunteer in the court tomorrow. If he refuses his request , I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, what should we do,"

Seeing Xiong Xin hesitating, the minister hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bang, Pei Gong, has always been generous and kind, and is calm and kind, which can easily give the Qin people the illusion that he can get close to. Moreover, on his previous journey to the West, Not being the main force, but he has made a lot of military achievements. If he is appointed as the commander of the Western Expedition Army, even Xiang Yu may have nothing to say,"

As soon as he said that the other ministers quickly agreed, saying that it was most appropriate to appoint Liu Bang as the commander of the Western Expedition Army.

Xiong Xin lowered her head and thought for a moment, finally nodded and said to the ministers: "This matter will be done according to the wishes of all the ministers. Tomorrow, she will be appointed Song Yi as the commander of the three armies, lead the army north to aid Zhao, and Xiang Yu as the second general. Fan Zeng was the last general and went north with him. As for the Western Expedition Army, he would leave it to Liu Bang,"

Xiang Yu, who went to Xiang Ye's military camp to visit, didn't know that just after he left the King of Chu's bedroom, Xiong Xin had assigned the tasks of the future Western Expedition with several ministers. He would face many things on the road to the future Western Expedition. Human-caused difficulties.

Xiang Ye lay on the couch, and Meng Suzheng fed the fried herbs with a spoon.

The medicine was very bitter. Even though Xiang Ye was still in a coma, he was still frowning because of the pain.

Xiang Qing, who was standing behind Meng Su, was watching Xiang Ye taking medicine, pursing her lips tightly. When she saw every spoonful of potion pouring into Xiang Ye's mouth, Xiang Ye would frown in pain, she really wanted to rush forward. He snatched the medicine and drank it all in one sip, but she also knew that she could not do that. Xiang Ye was very injured. Although these medicines were bitter, they were good for his wounds. He had to take them no matter how bitter he was.

"How is Xiang Ye?" The two women were busy feeding Xiang Ye medicine. Xiang Yu stepped through the threshold and asked them in a low voice.

"Lu Gong,"

"Big Brother,"

Meng Su and Xiang Qing heard someone talking behind their backs and turned around. When they saw clearly that Xiang Yu was coming in from outside the door, they quickly stood up and bowed to salute him.
