Seeing that Xiang Yu fell silent amidst his scolding, Xiang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually calmed down. In fact, it was not that Xiang Bo wanted to use Xiang Liang's death to provoke Xiang Yu, but that Xiang Bo deeply
Knowing Xiang Yu's character, if Xiang Yu cannot be completely convinced at this time, Xiang Yu may lead 50,000 troops to attack Muling Pass without telling him that day. According to Xiang Yu's bravery, there should be no problem. I am afraid of Xiang Yu's
Recklessness will affect the 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers under Muling Pass, and their lives will be in vain at Muling Pass.
Although Xiang Yu was persuaded this time, Xiang Bo didn't feel much joy in his heart. If Xiang Yu hadn't listened to the advice, Xiang Bo wouldn't have made an issue of Xiang Liang's death. In fact, it wasn't just Xiang Yu.
Isn't Liang's death a thorn in Xiang Bo's heart? I think back in Jiangdong, if Xiang Liang hadn't secretly accumulated money and food to win over anti-Qin people, it would have been difficult for just a few of them to raise the banner of anti-Qin.
The main reason why the Xiang clan was able to separate Jiangdong in these troubled times and not be wiped out by Fusu was because Xiang Liang laid a solid foundation for them. It can be said that most of the food, grass, money, soldiers and talents in Jiangdong came from the Xiang Liang period.
accumulated.
In the past, when Xiang Liang was around, Xiang Liang was in charge of all affairs in Jiangdong. Xiang Bo was just a bureaucrat who came up with ideas and recruited talents. After Xiang Liang was attacked and killed by Fusu, Xiang Bo did secretly steal the news for a while.
He was overjoyed and secretly happy that he finally no longer had to be suppressed by Xiang Liang. What excited him most was that he finally had a chance to make his mark in Jiangdong. And the actual situation in Jiangdong was indeed the same, and it was even worse than he expected.
Okay. After Xiang Liang died, Xiang Yu only wanted to avenge Xiang Liang and was not interested in fighting for the throne of Jiangdong for the time being. This gave Xiang Bo an excellent opportunity. It can be said that there was no constraint at all. In just half a month, Xiang Bo
Naturally, he inherited all the authority of Xiang Liang and became the leader of Jiangdong.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Just when Xiang Bo was about to let go of his hands and do something in Jiangdong, Fusu defeated Touman Shanyu, and then led his army southward. By annihilating the South Vietnam Kingdom and sending reinforcements from Jiangdong, he sent Meng Tian's Great Wall Army to attack
Attacking the east of the Yangtze River, attacking a city today and capturing a county tomorrow, all of a sudden there was no peace in the east of the Yangtze River, which made Xiang Bo exhausted both physically and mentally.
In the continuous battle with the Qin army, Xiang Bo finally realized that he lived the most comfortable life when Xiang Liang was there. In the days when he was tired of dealing with the Qin army, Xiang Bo finally realized the difficulty of being the lord of Jiangdong.
It is said that if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, there are Qin troops outside, and supplies such as grain, grass, weapons and ammunition are in urgent need everywhere. The cruel situation prompted Xiang Bo to truly understand the difficulty of taking control of Jiangdong. It was only then that Xiang Bo began to miss Xiang.
Liang Lai. If Xiang Liang is here, there will be someone to consult with when encountering difficulties.
Not only that, there is another thing that makes Xiang Berg miss Xiang Liang. When Xiang Liang was there, Xiang Yu would be obedient as long as Xiang Liang said a word, and only Xiang Liang could control Xiang Yu to death. Unlike now,
Although Xiang Bo also stood up to Xiang Yu's uncle's reputation, he couldn't persuade Xiang Yu as easily as Xiang Liang. Without some earnest persuasion, it would definitely not work. In fact, this can't be entirely blamed on Xiang Bo.
There is no deterrent, but Xiang Bo's death has become an eternal pain in Xiang Yu's heart. Under the pressure of this pain, Xiang Yu's character has also changed. In addition to being unruly, he also has a little more anxiety, so many times
Xiang Yu knew that what Bo Xiang said was true, so he would choose to do it.
Thinking about the various scenes of Xiang Liang's time, Xiang Bo lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He stood quietly in front of Xiang Yu like a stone sculpture. His two empty eyes stared blankly at the ground in front of him. Obviously, Xiang Bo just mentioned
Liang's death also deeply touched his heart.
Looking at Xiang Bo who was sitting attentively, Xiang Yu stood behind Xiang Bo with interest. He just looked at Xiang Bo in trance and waited patiently for Xiang Bo to come back to his senses so that he could give him an idea.
.
After a while, Xiang Bo woke up from his sluggish state, and his thoughts stopped thinking about Xiang Liang.
Uncle Xiang looked at Xiang Yu fondly, and then said to Xiang Yu in a harmonious tone: "Yu'er, it's not that my uncle wants to scold you, it's just that you don't understand Fusu too well. You have to know that I, Jiangdong, can't afford to bother you anymore."
Yes, if it were before, I would definitely let you fight with Zhang Han at the foot of Muling Pass. Unfortunately, my Jiangdong is no longer the Jiangdong when your uncle was around. I really can’t afford it. If I let these 50,000 troops
If we are all trapped under Muling Pass, not only the three counties we have occupied cannot be defended, but I am afraid it will also affect the hinterland of Jiangdong. By then, Jiangdong will really fall into your hands and mine."
After Xiang Bo provoked Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu's anxious mood gradually calmed down. At this time, he thought about what Xiang Bo just said. They were not alarmist. Not to mention Xiang Bo, even he himself had a close relationship with Fusu.
There have been several battles. Judging from the resourcefulness shown by Fusu in the battle, it is hard to say that when Jiangdong and Zhang Han were in an inseparable fight, Fusu would really take the opportunity to take action. Once tens of thousands of Huben soldiers
Under Linmuling Pass or Shouchun City, Jiangdong is really in danger.
"Uncle, since I, Jiangdong, cannot attack by force, can we outwit him or try to send someone to recruit Zhang Han to surrender?"
In fact, this was just what Xiang Yu said casually in desperation, and its purpose was just to cover up his inner unwillingness. But what Xiang Yu didn't expect was that his unintentional words were actually listened to by Xiang Bo.
I saw a flash of light in Xiang Bo's eyes, obviously inspired by Xiang Yu's suggestion.
"It's not impossible. We recruited this Zhang Han several times before, but we didn't see him surrender to Jiangdong. It's because he still has support. At that time, even the Shouchun City under our feet belonged to others, so they naturally refused to surrender.
The reason is that now the offense and defense are different. We, Jiangdong, have seized the land of three counties from him and forced him back to Muling Pass. If we, Jiangdong, send people to recruit again at this time, maybe there will be some success.
Maybe we can recruit this person."
Just when Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew were troubled by Zhang Han, Qin Guo Tanqi had already sent the news of Xiang Yu and Zhang Han's confrontation at Muling Pass to the Fusu case.
Fusu admired Zhang Han very much and had long wanted to recruit him. When Fusu sent Meng Yi to recruit Xiao He and others, Zhang Han was already on Fusu's recruitment list. However, Hu Hai was still alive at that time.
Zhao Gao had not yet taken power, and Zhang Han still had hopes for Hu Hai, so he refused Fusu's solicitation and led his army to guard Fu River to resist Fusu's army.
After Hu Hai's death, all the civil servants and generals under Hu Hai's rule became like birds and beasts and dispersed. Only Zhang Han did not disperse. Instead, he quickly took over all the counties and counties under Hu Hai's rule and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of protecting the country and the people.
At that time, some ministers also tried to dissuade Fusu, hoping that Fusu could take advantage of Hu Hai's new death and the chaos in Donghai County to recruit Zhang Han. However, Fusu had no plans to take back the counties under Hu Hai's rule at that time, so he
The recruitment of Zhang Han was put on hold for the time being. Now that Jiang Dong was planning to break through Muling Pass, Fusu knew that he could no longer sit idly by. Regardless of whether Zhang Han could withstand Xiang Yu's offensive, Jiang Dong could not be allowed to do so.
Mulingguan continued to show off his cruelty.
Out of respect for Zhang Han, Fusu could not find a suitable candidate to recruit Zhang Han for him for a while. Because when Meng Yi was sent to recruit Zhang Han before, Zhang Han refused once, so he recruited again this time.
You can't be too casual at this time. First of all, the people you go to recruit must be talented, and at least they must be able to control Zhang Han. After Fusu went through all the ministers in Xianyang one by one, he decided to arrange the recruitment of Zhang Han.
