Xiang Yu and Xiang An guessed well, and now Xiong Xin really plans to take this opportunity to weaken the Xiang family's influence in the Chu army.
Some things, if they had never happened, you might never know that you could be so bold.
"There are 60,000 troops that can still be used, which can barely form two armies..." Xiong Xin sat in his dormitory, narrowed his eyes and licked his lips.
"Although the number is small, a general or something like that will definitely not be able to survive." He sighed, placed the brush in his hand on the inkstone next to him, supported his knees with one hand and his chin with the other, thinking, "What if
Or only establish one general, and it will almost certainly be Xiang Yu, the boss of the Xiang family."
"The other one...if we talk about fame and merit, it is almost definitely Pei Gong." Xiong Xin's fingers and chin rubbed slightly, "When they return to Xutai, they have to talk to Pei Gong."
Before Xiang Liang's death, he was the backbone of Xi Chu from beginning to end. Everyone stood by Xiang Liang's side without a doubt, even Xiong Xin, King Huai of Chu.
But now that Xiang Liang is dead, the important figures who were attached to Xiang Liang should naturally think about their own positions.
Whether it is your own position, the position of others, or the pros and cons and interests.
Xiong Xin stood up, walked to the window, looked at the cloudy sky, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh.
His relationship with Xiang An might have been good before, but now, for his own sake, he had to resort to some tricks.
This is for the right to speak, and also to... get rid of the mascot's seemingly glamorous, but actually shameful and ugly identity.
"Now...I finally don't have to convince myself that being a mascot is not bad..." There was an uncontrollable smile on his lips, and his pupils were trembling with excitement and excitement, "Under the pressure
The mountain above my head - gone - gone at last!"
"I am finally the real King Huai of Chu in this country, this Western Chu!" He said loudly and cheerfully, not caring at all about the strange looks from the servants and maids.
...
More than a month later, the armies of Xiang Yu, Xiang An, Liu Ji and others finally crossed the Huai River and returned to Xutai.
After stationing the army outside the city, the generals walked towards the Chu Palace.
There are three generals: Xiang Yu, Xiang An, and Liu Ji.
There are seven division commanders: Xiang Lu, Zi Juan, Jiang Chun, Liang Ning, Wei Hao, Fan Kuai and Peng Yue.
There are also a number of other generals, such as Xiang Ta, Xiang Zhuang and others who are affiliated with the Xiang family, as well as Long Qie, Ren Ao, Chen Ping, Ying Bu, Lu Wan and others.
There are also several advisers including Fan Zeng who is with Xiang Yu, Han Xin who is with Xiang An, and Xiao He who is with Liu Ji.
These are the remaining military leaders of Western Chu.
King Huai Xiong Xin sat in a high position, looking at the general below. Even though he had made up his mind, a few drops of cold sweat could not help but break out on his forehead.
"The king has summoned the generals to discuss matters. The generals naturally know the reason." He straightened up, took a few deep breaths, and his eyes became calm and powerful.
All the generals were silent, waiting for Xiong Xin to continue speaking.
"The general is the pillar of our country. Now he is buried in the battlefield. I am heartbroken." Xiong Xin sighed and put his hand on his chest with a sad expression, as if he was really sad. "But even though I am in great pain, I, the State of Chu, are determined to
We cannot fall because of the general’s fall.”
"I think the generals should regroup and fight against the violent Qin again."
"That's what the king said." When no one spoke, Xiang Yu cupped his hands and took the lead in speaking.
"What the king is saying is..." Xiang Yu spoke, and the other generals also echoed his words, their sparse voices sounding without any momentum at all.
Xiong Xin seemed a little surprised that Xiang Yu would not refute his face, but then he frowned again.
No one responded to his words, and Xiang Yu all agreed as soon as he spoke.
The power this family has accumulated in the military is really not small.
He silently glanced at Liu Ji, who was sitting next to him fishing, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Liu Ji was confused. He blinked and touched his face. There was nothing dirty. Then why did the king look at me so strangely?
After coughing twice, Xiong Xin took a deep breath.
Although it is necessary to dilute the Xiang family's influence in the military, it is absolutely not advisable to fight with the Xiang family to death. Xiong Xin relies on the Xiang family to become the King of Chu Huai. Fighting for power is okay, but breaking up with him is pure.
So ungrateful.
Xiong Xin tried his best not to look at Xiang An and Zi Juan, and looked down and said.
"The premise is to fight against that Bao Qin again. We need to absorb the experience of the general's failure." He became serious, "I thought that although Zhang Han was strong, he could not defeat the four-handed man with two fists. The general must be determined.
Tao's defeat certainly had various unfavorable factors, but in the final analysis, it was because he had completely bet his money on a frontal battle."
Hearing this, Xiang An, Xiang Lu, Zi Juan and others all frowned, but Xiang Yu looked normal, as if he was not surprised by Xiong Xin's words.
Xiang An looked at Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu shook his head gently, signaling Xiang An not to speak.
Although Xiang An was a little confused, he still closed his mouth and said nothing.
"Since we need to re-adjust our strategy, now -" Xiong Xin clapped her hands and signaled the eunuch to bring up the military talisman, "I have decreed that Xiang Yu be granted the title of General, and Liu Ji will be commanded by the two armies."
"Xiang An is Xiang Yu's sub-general, and Zijuan is Xiang Yu's junior general."
"Fan Kuai is General Liu Jiya, and Peng Yue is General Liu Jipi."
Along with Xiong Xin's edict, newly made military symbols came into the hands of the generals one after another.
Xiang Yu's eyes were not surprised at all, but Liu Ji was a little confused, but after thinking for a while, he smiled with understanding and accepted the military talisman.
This King Huai Xiongxin is a bit too smart.
But it was indeed Liu Ji who benefited, and Liu Ji didn't say anything.
There was a strong look of disappointment in Xiang An's eyes.
It was almost inevitable that Xiong Xin would do this, but Xiang An just felt a little uncomfortable.
Sighing, Xiang An rubbed his temples anxiously and turned his face toward the entrance of the hall, no longer looking at Xiong Xin.
Xiong Xin had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and movements. Looking at Xiang An who turned his head, he sighed in his heart.
He also saw Liu Ji's secret joy, which was also an expected reaction.
but......
His eyes were focused on Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had no expression on his face. He just took the soldier talisman he had just received and played with it carefully. His eyes stayed on the soldier talisman. He did not look at Xiong Xin or other people, nor did he turn his head to look outside like Xiang An.
Xiong Xin stared at Xiang Yu and swallowed involuntarily.
