Chapter 380(1/2)
Liu Bang formed an alliance with Ziying and entered Xianyang City at night. He caught Xin Sheng off guard. In desperation, Xin Sheng had to cooperate with Liu Bang.
Although he planned to form an alliance with Liu Bang at the beginning, it is different from the past.
Liu Bang, who entered Xianyang City, had an absolute advantage in initiative, and if Xin Sheng wanted to regain his advantage, he could only fight against Liu Bang.
If two tigers fight, one will be injured, which is not in Xin Sheng's interests.
So he settled for the second best and handed over the initiative to Liu Bang.
So, Liu Bang naturally entered Xianyang City.
But no matter how he planned it in advance, Liu Bang still looked around in a daze after entering Xianyang City.
Xianyang's magnificence is far beyond the comparison of ordinary cities, especially the huge Xianyang Palace, which can't be found as soon as you enter.
Although there was a rectification campaign in Hanguguan, the soldiers were still attracted by the young and beautiful noble girls and beautiful girls, and rape and looting happened frequently. This caused the entire Xianyang to panic and the people fled one after another.
Although Liu Bang was the head of the Sishui Pavilion and saw the First Emperor on tour, he never entered the imperial city.
Not only were the soldiers confused, but he was also dizzy.
On this day, Liu Banggang signed an alliance with Xin Sheng, so he did not care about rectifying the rules and led Fan Kuai and others to the Xianyang Palace.
When they saw the magnificent Xianyang Palace, they were stunned.
So I excitedly admired the various buildings in the palace, gardens, pools, and places where the concubines in the harem lived.
"King, I didn't expect this palace to be so big. It feels much bigger than our Pei County!" A general who rebeled with Liu Bang Pei County sighed while watching the palace.
"How big is Pei County!" Fan Kuai complained contemptuously: "This is the capital of Qin. Do you compare the capital of the country with a small county?"
"That's right, General Fan Kuai is right, how can Pei County compete with Xianyang!" Another general of Liu Bang echoed.
Seeing that everyone was talking, Liu Bang, who was beside him, couldn't listen, and waved his hand with a smile: "Okay! Don't argue, we are here at the Xianyang Palace, what are we comparing with Peixian!"
"Yes, yes, what the king said makes sense. We don't compare to the houses in Pei County, and the beautiful girls here. There are countless beautiful girls here!" Fan Kuai nodded and smiled.
"Hahaha--"
When everyone heard Fan Kuai's words, they burst into laughter.
Liu Bang also smiled and waved his hand, "We haven't seen half of the palace like this, so Mei Ji can't count it. So she stayed here tonight and counted it!"
"Long live the king!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered and excited.
Xiao He next to him frowned slightly and immediately bowed: "Master, this move is a bit inappropriate!"
"Um?"
Liu Bang was stunned and looked at Xiao He in confusion: "What does Mr. Xiao mean?"
"King, Ziying once made an agreement with you to treat the Qin people well, and you cannot lose the hearts of the Qin people!"
"this....."
Liu Bang hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized, but saw Fan Kuai beside him with a dark face and didn't speak, so he laughed and scolded: "You pig butcher, you can't do your dream, can you shudder me?"
"snort!"
Fan Kuai snorted unanimously and bowed: "What Mr. Xiao said is reasonable. The king and that Ziying are the first to make an appointment. We will not be a person who speaks without trust. What's more, the king must rectify the rules and regulations, and we cannot just do so.
I am rectifying others, but I am staying in a gentle country!"
When Liu Bang heard this, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, pig butcher! Go out and talk."
...........
When Liu Bang returned to the shogunate, Cao Shen hurried over and reported to him the chaos in the army, especially the chaos of rape and robbery, which was particularly serious. This made Liu Bang very dissatisfied, so he gathered the generals that night to discuss the aftermath.
"Everyone, we have been in the city for a few days, and I don't know what we think?" Liu Bang sat in the main seat and spoke lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bo bowed to Liu Bang and smiled and said, "The king is wise and takes the lead in forming an alliance with Ziying. We will take over the capital of Qin without any effort. It's really wonderful!"
"The king is wise!" the generals agreed.
Liu Bang smiled coldly and said indifferently: "I am not as wise as you. Once you enter the city, you run faster than me. If you fall in love with someone's beautiful girl, you will quickly take it back to your tent, but you didn't think about it.
This king."
"Hahaha--"
The generals burst into laughter.
But Liu Bang raised his eyebrows again and said, "Whether you laugh, you will make trouble, but rules are rules. You seem to have forgotten the agreement before entering the pass?"
"this....."
The laughter of the generals stopped abruptly and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"I call you tonight to remind you that you should not go too far, otherwise the military law will be ruthless!"
Although Liu Bang's voice was extremely dull, it was chilling in the ears of the generals.
He is no longer the gangster Liu Ji, but Liu Bang, who has the appearance of an emperor.
All emperors have majestic words and deeds and cannot be violated by anyone.
So the generals immediately put away their joking attitude and sat upright.
Seeing the tent silence, Xiao He stood up and broke the deadlock and said, "King, although you have accepted Ziying's surrender letter, Ziying is also the King of Qin at least. What are you going to deal with him?"
"What else can be done? Just kill it directly. Could it be that the king will keep trouble forever?" Fan Kuai frowned and asked.
Zhou Bo echoed in the voice: "General Fan Kuai is right. If you don't kill Ziying, you won't destroy Qin!"
"The purpose of our anti-Qin is to destroy Qin. If Qin does not destroy it, what is the meaning of anti-Qin?"
"Yes! Kill Ziying and destroy the tyrant Qin!"
"Kill Ziying and destroy the tyrannical Qin!"
Seeing the generals being angry, Liu Bang frowned slightly, then looked at Xiao He and raised his hand and said, "Okay! Everyone, be quiet!"
“……”
"If you say you don't kill Ziying, it's not going to destroy Qin. Then I ask you, is Zhao Kun from Yongcheng the heir of Prince Qin?"
"this....."
When the generals heard this, they were speechless for a moment.
Because what Liu Bang said was the truth, Zhao Kun deserves more damn than Ziying.
But didn’t Zhao Kun leave it to Xiang Yu to clean up?
What do we care about him?
Could it be that he can still defeat Xiang Yu?
As if seeing the thoughts in the generals, Liu Bang spoke again: "Zhao Kun and Xiang Yu compete in Yongcheng. No matter who loses and who wins, we have to face one of them, so consolidating the existing territory is the top priority!"
As he said that, he paused and said, "Ziying is just a member of the royal family, and he is not even considered a bloodline of the Qin Emperor. He was promoted to the throne by Zhao Gao and Xin Sheng. Killing him has nothing to do with destroying Qin.
Related!”
"What's more, I have agreed with Ziying, and Ziying has truly surrendered, and it's unjust to kill him!"
"Since the king is unwilling to kill Ziying, what should I do with him?" Zhou Bo asked carefully.
"Ziying and I are my own people..."
Liu Bang thought for a while and said, "Let him be an official!"
When everyone heard the "affiliated officials", they suddenly realized.
The so-called subordinate officials do not refer to subordinate officials, but to be in charge of officials.
There are two reasons for doing this. One is that Ziying privately formed an alliance with Liu Bang, which angered Xin Sheng, and Liu Bang had the obligation to protect him.
Valley
The other is that Xiang Yu is the nominal lord of the world and cannot handle the princes of a country without authorization.
When Ziying's matter was just concluded, Guan Ying, who had been missing, suddenly broke in.
"I've been together for a long time. Why are you late? If you can't tell the reason, you must have a board!"
Although Liu Bang had a good personal relationship with Guan Ying, he seemed a little unhappy when he saw Guan Ying being late.
"King, the last general will go to Li Si's mansion on the order of Mr. Xiao!" Guan Ying scratched her head and said.
"Um?"
Liu Bang was stunned, then looked at Xiao He and joked: "Mr. Xiao has set his sights on the position of prime minister so early?"
"King, I asked Guan Ying to go to Li Si's mansion to find the population, household registration, money and grain reserves, and record classics. Although we have entered Xianyang, we are empty-handed. How can we manage the surrounding areas?" Xiao He said seriously.
"I see!"
Liu Bang nodded suddenly and then bowed to Xiao He: "Although Mr. Xiao is not the prime minister yet, he also has the heart of the prime minister. Liu Bang has received the teachings!"
After saying that, he looked around the generals and continued, "I will not pursue the previous things. We will still have the same rules for the next things. First, no surrendered ministers of Qin will be allowed to kill them without permission;
To be continued...
