Chapter 140 Break
Liu Bang saw King Chu looking at him and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although what Xiang Yu said is true, what I want to ask is that as a soldier, he disobeyed the general's orders and gathered people to cause trouble. As a soldier, I
Does the military commander have the power to punish him? Moreover, the minister who withheld the military pay had already driven him out of the camp. It was just to prevent the soldiers from being shaken that they did not make it public. But today when those generals came, they saw
I actually didn’t intend to kill the generals who wanted to kill them. I just wanted them to learn a lesson and strictly observe military discipline in the future. If General Xiang hadn’t come in to cause trouble, they would have been put back into their respective camps.
I'm going to rest. As the commander-in-chief of an army, how could I kill so many subordinate generals? I hope your Majesty will learn from it." As he spoke, Liu Bang secretly glanced at the King of Chu's expression, and saw that the King of Chu seemed to be moved by his words.
So he started to make up the story about Xiang Yu's fault. "On the contrary, it was General Xiang who broke into the military camp without permission. Just because he was the commander of the army at that time, he pointed fingers at us. It is really unreasonable."
"You..." Xiang Yu didn't expect that he would be called an unreasonable person by Liu Bang, and what he said would be brushed aside by him. He was very angry in his heart, if he hadn't still harbored some feelings for the King of Chu.
To save face, he had already gone up and chopped Liu Bang alive, a guy who only knew how to punish people with short words.
Liu Bang felt relieved when he saw that Xiang Yu could not compete with him in terms of words. At the same time, he winked at Qu Dou who was standing aside. Qu Dou understood what he meant and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Yu trespasses without permission.
The camp has violated military regulations, and I believe that if we do not severely punish you, we may not be able to convince the public."
"This..." King Chu looked at Xiang Yu standing below with some embarrassment. He also somewhat understood that this was a trap set by Qu Dou and others for Xiang Yu, but the power of this trap was that even if
Even if you know it, you can't decipher it. As a bystander, you can't defend Xiang Yu. But to ask the King of Chu to sentence Xiang Yu is to cause conflict between the King of Chu and the Xiang family, thereby completely pulling the King of Chu into his own camp.
中. But the King of Chu has to express his position now, otherwise some people may say that he is afraid of the power of the Xiang family and dare not punish Xiang Yu. This puts the King of Chu in a dilemma and does not know what to do. But he cannot ignore it.
, so he asked: "According to Qu Lingyin, what punishment should this feather receive?"
"Expelling him from the army, what is the use of a person who knows nothing about military regulations?" Qu Dou was prepared, so he said without thinking. He knew that as long as Xiang Yu was expelled from the army, it would be like cutting off one of Xiang Liang's arms.
, only then can he truly have a fight with Xiang Liang.
The King of Chu did not expect that Qu Dou proposed such a method. The possibility of getting past it was gone. He could only think about it temporarily and wait for Xiang Liang to come. He knew that Xiang Liang would definitely come after learning about this. Once he came,
Naturally, he would excuse his nephew. When the time comes, if he helps out, Xiang Yu will only have to suffer a little, and he can shift all the responsibilities to Qu Dou, thereby completely intensifying the conflict between Qu Dou and Xiang.
So that you can make a profit.
When Qu Dou and others saw King Chu's behavior, they also knew that he wanted to wait for Xiang Liang to come, but the three of them did not tell him anything and waited at the bottom. So the situation in the tent was a bit strange. Everyone was thinking about their opponent.
But no one further strengthened their words. Only Xiang Yu had nothing to say. Because he knew his temper, and if he continued to speak, he might not be able to help but curse or even kill someone, and he didn't want to be blamed for his own temper.
Uncle brings too much trouble.
At this moment, Xiang Liang's voice came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Xiang Liang, wishes to see you."
"Come in, General Xiang. There is really a difficult matter here that needs to be discussed by General Xiang." When the King of Chu heard Xiang Liang's voice, he said as if he had found a savior.
So Xiang Liang opened the door and walked in. He glanced at Xiang Yu who was below, then saluted and asked, "I wonder what the difficult matter is that the king is talking about? I came this time because my family reported that my nephew
Xiang Yu broke into the military camp, and I am here to call him back."
"It's like this. General Xiang broke into the camp without authorization and rescued several soldiers who were going to be punished by military regulations. He also injured several people. Now General Liu Bang refuses to give up and wants everyone to punish the young general. And
Qu Lingyin said that he wanted to drive General Xiang away from the army, which made me very embarrassed. I wonder what General Xiang thinks should be done?" King Chu said and looked at Xiang Liang, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that he and Qu
If you fight hard, you can stay out of it.
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Yu'er, did you break into the military camp just to save those soldiers who violated military regulations?"
Xiang Yu didn't know what his uncle's words were, but he thought that Xiang Liang would definitely help him out, so he said frankly: "Yes, I broke into the camp to save them, but it was also their fault first.
A soldier's crime will not lead to death."
Xiang Liang glanced at Qu Dou and the others. Looking at their leisurely expressions, he knew that they must have a back-up plan, so he said: "Yu'er, you are wrong. Even if these soldiers were indeed wronged, you should not
Breaking into the military camp without permission."
"Are we going to let these soldiers die unjustly?" When Xiang Yu heard Xiang Liang's words, he felt angry in his heart, but he didn't act because he was in front of everyone.
"Yes, as sergeants, the meaning of their existence is to be loyal to our great Chu. Since they die for our great Chu, whether they die in battle or with resentment, their value is the same, so Yu'er this time you
I really did something wrong." Xiang Liang said sadly.
"Uncle, they are all loyal subordinates who have fought with my Xiang family for several years. Do you want to watch them get killed by these people who only know how to use conspiracy and tricks?" Xiang Yu said and pointed at Qu Dou and others.
Man, his tone was full of anger.
"Shut up!" Xiang Liang shouted, "How can you, a child, speak to these adults? Mr. Qu has worked hard for our country, Chu, to make our country rich and its people strong. What do you know? Liu and Song.
The general is also a famous general who has fought in hundreds of battles. How can you evaluate him as someone who has only fought a few wars and led the troops alone but came back defeated?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, the anger in his heart reached the critical point of venting. He asked: "What do you mean, uncle, that I did something wrong? In your opinion, what punishment should I have?" His
The respect for Xiang Liang was no longer in his voice, and his tone was full of contempt.
Xiang Liang also heard Xiang Yu's anger, but he knew that once he tried to protect Xiang Yu, Qu Dou and others might use more powerful tricks to deal with his two uncles and nephews, so he could only endure this tone first, and
As long as Xiang Yu takes him back and explains it to him, he will understand. He is still very confident about his position in Xiang Yu's mind, so he said: "You are indeed wrong. I think the crime that Master Qu has convicted you of is
It's very appropriate. You completely ignore military regulations and you really shouldn't stay in the military camp any longer." Xiang Liang knew that as long as he had the vast majority of the military power in Chu State, it would not be a piece of cake for Xiang Yu to lead troops, so he agreed.
He accepted the suggestion from Qu Dou and others. "Please give me your decree, Your Majesty!"
Qu Dou and others looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang actually agreed to punish Xiang Yu. This was beyond their expectations, causing all their subsequent arrangements to come to nothing. "It seems that our plan this time is just
If we can stop it here, I didn’t expect Xiang Liang to be willing to swallow his anger.”
King Chu was also stunned. This situation was completely different from what he thought. After a while, he finally came to his senses.
But the most shocking one was Xiang Yu. He never expected that Xiang Liang would think that he had done something wrong, and at the same time he agreed to the punishment imposed on him by Qu Dou and others. This made Xiang Yu very sad. But then he began to tell this paragraph
After summing up the changes in Xiang Liang's attitude toward him over the past few days, he became more convinced that Xiang Liang was afraid that his power in the army would surpass him and deliberately suppressed him. Yu Ziyan's persuasion to him a few days ago was also
At this moment, he completely threw it away. He took out the general's military talisman from his arms and threw it on Xiang Liang, then turned around and left.
"Xiang Yu, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the king?" Qu Dou was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be angry.
When he said this, Xiang Liang couldn't help but pretend that he couldn't see it, so he said: "Yu'er, you must bow to the king before leaving. Don't you understand the way of being a minister?"
"Haha, am I still a minister now? If Xiang Liang wants to be a minister, just do it. Forgive Xiang Yu, but I won't accompany you!" After saying this, Xiang Yu pulled down the curtain and walked out.
"General Xiang, I didn't expect your nephew to be so rude. It really opened our eyes." Qu Doupi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely punish him severely when I return. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Xiang Liang apologized hurriedly.
"That's it, I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the palace." Although King Chu was a little angry at Xiang Yu's behavior, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he was very puzzled by Xiang Liang's repeated concessions, but he was not good either.
After asking Xiang Liang, he had to go back to the palace with this question.
After Xiang Liang also left with King Chu, Liu Bang said to Qu Dou: "Lord Ling Yin, our strategy is only half completed this time. What should we do next?"
"It seems that Xiang Liang saw that we had a backup plan, so he abandoned Xiang Yu and saved himself. But he can escape this time but not next time. We always have a way to deal with him. And today I
It seems that Xiang Yu and his uncle have fallen out, which can be considered a big gain. The smaller Xiang Liang's power, the greater the benefit to us." Qu Dou laughed.
