Not only Fan Li, but also thinking about Sun Shuao made Fan Zeng sigh heavily.
These have been old friends for many years. During the few times Sun Shuao came to visit Fan Zeng these days, through the verbal conversations between the two parties, Fan Zeng had also faintly noticed that Sun Shuao was a little discouraged.
I thought about retreating for a while.
In fact, the situation here in Sun Shu'ao was more serious than Fan Zeng imagined. Sun Shu'ao did not have the idea of retirement, but had already determined his intention to retire.
However, when Xiang Yu was about to go on an expedition, Sun Shuao and Xiang Liang were in charge of the overall situation. As a minister, even if Sun Shuao wanted to retire, he should still do his duty as a minister.
When Xiang Yu returns, he will try his best to do what he should do as usual. This is his last way of repaying Xiang Yan's kindness, and it is also the last thing he can do.
Regarding Sun Shuao, Fan Zeng had hints of admonishment in his words, but Sun Shuao took the topic aside, obviously not wanting to get more entangled in these issues.
The smarter these people are, once they have made a decision in their hearts, they are less likely to be changed.
However, fortunately, when Fan Zeng wanted to finally ask Sun Shuao to help him, his old friend for many years did not reject Fan Zeng's last request after all!
Although Sun Shuao and the others were worried about Fan Zeng's condition, they concealed the real battle situation on the front line from Fan Zeng. However, with Fan Zeng's wisdom, if he had the intention to test, how could he really not detect the slightest clue!
Therefore, Fan Zeng knew that the most urgent task was to ask Xiang Yu to retreat first.
Fan Zeng knew that to achieve this, he needed a strong medicine. But this was inseparable from Sun Shuao's help, because at this time, only Sun Shuao still had a way to contact Yu Ji.
Fan Zeng knew Xiang Yu. If Yu Ji and her son spread the news that they were seriously ill and difficult to treat, it would be very likely to bring Xiang Yu back. Moreover, with a miracle doctor here, it would not be difficult to make two people seriously ill for a period of time!
However, if Xiang Yu really comes back for this reason, it will definitely cause some negative reactions.
Therefore, Fan Zeng secretly had another plan in mind. At the same time, the news that his father Fan Zeng had died of illness would also reach Xiang Yu, which could alleviate some of the negative impact of this incident.
For Fan Zeng, he was already dying anyway, and it made no difference whether he was two days earlier or two days later. Therefore, it would be better to use his last old bones to exert their final value.
In addition, it is the problem of the Jiaozhou scholar family.
A few years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Jingnan, Yao Guangxiao's design caused a rift between the Shi family and Xiang Yu, and a nail was driven into it.
Later, although Sun Shuao personally entered Jiaozhou, he stabilized the local snake family in Jiaozhou.
However, the most powerful thing about Yao Guangxiao's plan is that this nail has been driven into their relationship. Even if it is temporarily pulled out, the trace will never be eliminated.
Therefore, the Jiaozhou scholar family became the biggest unstable factor within Xiang Yu's power.
Fan Zeng's other plan for Xiang Yu was to remove the unstable factor of the Shi family.
When Jingnan lost most of its territory, Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao had originally planned to temporarily move their headquarters to Jiaozhou. However, the unwilling Xiang Yu never agreed to this suggestion and still stubbornly stared at Jingnan.
However, with the loss of more than half of the leaders in Jingnan, making Jiaozhou the focus of development in the next step has become an issue that cannot be ignored.
As for focusing on the development of Jiaozhou, we also cannot leave behind the unstable factor of the Shijia family.
Besides, after being the Tu Emperor for so many years, the amount of money and food accumulated by the Shi family is definitely quite considerable. If Fan Zeng destroys the Shi family, he can also use this money and food for Xiang Yu's next development.
Important figures in the scholar family such as Shi Xie, Shi, Shi Ren, Shi Hui, Shi Qian, Shi Zhi, Shi Song, Shi Kuang, and even other figures in the scholar family, large and small, were all targets that Fan Zeng wanted to kill.
Moreover, Fan Zeng wanted to solve the Shi family in his name, attracting all the negative effects to him.
It can be said that Fan Zeng was ready to risk everything he had for Xiang Yu.
"Shu Ao Gong!" A burst of slow footsteps sounded, and Sun Shu'ao walked into the hut under the leadership of others. Seeing Sun Shu'ao's figure, Fan Zeng seemed to have regained some energy and said urgently to Sun Shu'ao.
How could Sun Shuao feel better when he saw the haggard look on his old friend's face? Thinking of his old friend, he was worthy of the Xiang family in his life. It could be said that he had dedicated his all to the two generations of the Xiang family.
But in the end it ended up like this.
It can be said that Fan Zeng's experience was the trigger for Sun Shuao to want to go into seclusion.
"Shu Ao Gong, what's going on!" Before Sun Shu Ao could say anything, Fan Zeng took the initiative to ask.
Seeing his old friend's appearance, Sun Shuao could only sigh secretly in his heart, and could only calmly talk about what his old friend was most concerned about now.
"Don't worry, counting the time, it's almost time to wrap up the Jiaozhou situation!"
"Madam, everything has been done and everything is ready!" Sun Shuao forced out a smile.
Jiaozhou and Yu Ji are what Fan Zeng is most concerned about now, and it is also the last thing Fan Zeng can do to help Xiang Yu. The rest, given his current situation, is already powerless.
"Okay!" After Sun Shuao's affirmative answer, Fan Zeng was truly relieved for the time being.
Now that Yu Ji's affairs have been settled, they can proceed with the next step of planning and bring Xiang Yu back safely!
Xiang Yu's current situation in Jingbei is purely a thankless job. Not only does he get less than half of the advantage, but in the end, the one who gets the advantage is their archenemy, the Jin army.
In addition, it will only continue to deepen the determination of the surrounding princes to join forces to get rid of Xiang Yu. Because Xiang Yu's behavior is too unstable, and everything he does is not in line with normal interests. There is no
People hope that when they fight against a powerful enemy, they will be stabbed inexplicably.
Therefore, it becomes the first choice to resolve the situation where the position cannot be determined first.
Once the matter in Jiaozhou is settled, it means that the biggest internal hidden danger has been eliminated! At least, even if the princes really want to take action against Xiang Yu, they can save a lot of unnecessary trouble and can use
