Chapter 478: Union and Continuing (Six)

Rewarding is actually a very complicated task, the key is that it is difficult to adjust.--.net.

The rewards of more than a hundred Guandonghou were relatively simple, and it ended in just half a day. However, it was more troublesome to rewards of important civil and military officials such as Bi Shu, Xiang Da, Xiang Tuo, Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Zhou Yin, Yu Ziqi, Zhong Limei, Jin Xiang, Hu Yan, etc., and even fierce quarrels occurred during this period.

People's hearts are greedy, and everyone wants to maximize their own interests.

Xiang Zhuang watched coldly, allowing the ministers to argue fiercely in the hall without stopping. In fact, it is beneficial to have cracks or even resentment between the ministers of various factions. If the ministers below have differences in their opinions, the king can mediate from a transcendent standpoint, and it will be relatively easier to control the court. This is the so-called emperor's mind.

Of course, with Xiang Zhuang's current prestige, there is no need to play with the emperor's mind.

However, Xiang Zhuang had to consider his descendants. When he was there, of course he could control the court calmly, but if he died one day, the crown prince Xiang Zheng might not be able to control the court as easily as he did. At that time, it would be necessary to take advantage of the disputes between various factions to balance.

The fierce quarrel lasted for five days before finally getting a result.

Bi Shu was granted the title of Duke of Wu and had a salary of 8,000 stones;

Gao Chu was granted the title of Duke of Wei and had a salary of 6,000 stones;

Pang Yu was granted the title of Duke of Shu and had a salary of 6,000 stones;

Meng Shuo was granted the title of Duke of Qin and had a salary of 4,000 stones;

The other ministers were all granted the title of marquis, with a salary ranging from 2,000 to 6000 stones.

In addition, many ministers wrote to revise the reward order and restore the old system of the Duke and Marquis' fiefs because of the special case of Wei. The so-called fiefs are fiefs. If the old system of the fiefs is restored, dozens of counties, counties, townships, and pavilions would become the country among the country. However, this move was flatly rejected by Xiang Zhuang, which disappointed many people.

Three days later, the news that King Xiang Zhuang of Chu of King Xiang of Zhiling spread throughout China. Almost the same day, Bi Shu also rushed outside Linzi City day and night, and submitted a letter of nationality to King Han He of Qi. (--.com.)

King Han He of Qi immediately summoned Prime Minister Lou Jing and military advisor Zhao Yan to the palace to discuss matters.

"The Prime Minister, Military Advisor, Xiang Zhuang finally rewarded the ministers." Han He handed the Feige letter sent by Ziling to Lou Jing, and after reading it, Lou Jing handed it to the military advisor.

"This is also expected." Zhao Yan put down the secret letter and said, "Xiang Zhuang should also give him a reward."

Lou Jing said: "Reward is expected, but I didn't expect Xiangzhuang to transfer the five counties to restore the Wei State."

"In my opinion, this matter is not simple." Han He paced back and forth, thinking, "At least it can be explained that Xiang Zhuang is actually the same as Xiang Yu, and he only wants to be a prince, but he never thought of unifying the world and becoming an emperor like Qin Shihuang!"

Lou Jing frowned and said, "King, it is indeed surprising that Xiang Zhuang enfeoffed the King of Wei. However, for this reason, he is just another overlord Xiang Yu. I'm afraid it's a bit arbitrary?"

Han He felt a little unhappy. Lou Jing's tone made him feel a little uncomfortable. He turned his head to look at Zhao Yan and asked lightly: "Military advisor, what do you think?"

"This, I can't say it." Zhao Yan didn't dare to take it easy.

In the battle of Lixia a few months ago, Han He firmly blocked the attack of the 100,000 Zhao army with only more than 20,000 remaining soldiers, and did not rely too much on Zhao Yan's plan in the middle, which made Han He's confidence expand unprecedentedly. In addition to relying on the assistance of the Prime Minister Lou Jing in politics, he no longer relies on Zhao Yan in military affairs.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Han He waved his hand and said, "General Bi Shu of Chu has arrived outside the city and has submitted a letter of state to me. Do you think I will see him or send a large army to destroy him?"

Lou Jing and Zhao Yan looked at each other. They didn't expect that Bi Shu would come to Linzi!

Han He touched his naked chin, imitating Han Xin's expression and behavior when he was walking, and sneered: "I really didn't expect that Bi Shu would dare to come to Linzi. Do he really think I dare not kill him?"

Zhao Yan said: "King, if the two countries do not kill the envoys, they will kill the envoys without killing them, and may be given a real population." Like Zhang Liang, Zhao Yan is a humble gentleman, who advocates being open and honest in his actions, and his plans are also upright plans.

Lou Jing and Chen Ping were the same type of people, and immediately advised: "King, the opportunity is rare, you should kill Bi Shu!"

A faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of Han He's mouth. Since he inherited the throne, he thought that this was the first time that the Prime Minister and the Military Advisors had different opinions. This was interesting.

On the same afternoon, Bai Mo also arrived in Handan.

Zhou Guanfu hurried into Bai Mo's room and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the detailed work of Zhao State lurking in Linzi sent back the news. Chu State actually sent envoys to Qi State, and had arrived in Linzi!" After saying this, Zhou Guanfu said again, "Prime Minister, you must have never thought who this envoy would be."

"Who?" Bai Mo asked, "Who is it my junior brother, Bi Shu?"

Zhou Guanfu's eyes widened and said in disbelief: "Prime Minister, I really can't hide anything from you!"

"It's really my junior brother?" Bai Mo's face suddenly became gloomy. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back. Finally, he looked through the window at the night sky outside and whispered, "No wonder Xiangzhuang unexpectedly divided five counties to restore the Wei Kingdom. It turned out that what he had left was actually this plan. This must be the plan of my junior brother. How powerful is it."

Zhou Guanfu was confused when he heard this, scratched his head and asked, "Prime Minister, what were you talking about?"

Bai Mo shook his head and pondered: "This matter is complicated and I can't explain it clearly to you in a hurry. However, the matter in Handan needs to be grasped, otherwise, even the major plan may change!"

Zhou Guanfu said sternly: "Prime Minister, please tell me what should I do?"

Bai Mo paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally made up his mind to say, "In this way, you will send someone to Zhao's mansion immediately, and say that the prime minister has set up a banquet in the inn, invite him to come to the banquet, and have important matters to discuss." After a pause, Bai Mo picked up a letter from the desk and handed it to Zhou Guanfu, and then said, "Send this letter to Niujiazhuang in the east of the city, and you will go in person."

"Here!" Zhou Guanfu took the letter and turned around and left.

Watching Zhou Guanfu's figure go away, a faint smile suddenly popped up on Bai Mo's lips, and he whispered to himself: "Junior brother, who is junior brother? This is the first direct contest between you and me. Brother Wei is really looking forward to it. Haha, I don't know if your erotic path has improved, so don't let Brother Wei down."

Hu Yan walked into Bishu's tent and said loudly: "General, the scout, the cavalry, have been sent out, and the nearby terrain has been carefully investigated. Even if Qi sends 100,000 troops to come, we can't be kept."

Bi Shu nodded and said, "If the person from Ebony Cliff arrives, let him come to see me directly."

Hu Yan said without hesitation: "General, don't worry, General, the general has already given orders. If someone from Ebony Cliff comes, he will bring you to see you immediately." After a pause, Hu Yan said again, "General, what will you do after Han He receives the letter of state? Should you send ministers to see you, or will you send an army to kill you?"

Bi Shu said: "What do you think so much? You won't know tomorrow?"

Hu Yan said oh, scratched his head and went out of the tent, but Bi Shu turned his gaze to the northwest and said softly: "Senior Brother, you should almost go to Handan, right? I haven't seen you for fifteen years, but I don't know if you are still in style?"

#############

Zhao Wu rushed to the inn where Bai Mo was staying overnight under the escort of Zhao Zhong and the fifty-year-old soldiers. Bai Mo said that he had something to discuss, but he dared not not come. The reason was obvious. Bai Mo was looking for him so late, but it was obvious that the matter was very urgent. Maybe it was about usurping the throne of Zhao. How could Zhao Wu not come?

Because Bai Mo brought three hundred followers and had a large number of personnel and horses, he booked the entire inn.

Looking at the majestic Han army soldiers outside the gate of the inn, Zhao Wu hesitated a little. Although it was Handan, the inn was completely under the control of the Han army. If he entered the inn, his life and death would be all in Bai Mo's hands. If Bai Mo was unfavorable to him, he would have fallen into the trap.

It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so should he change his place?

When Zhao Wu was about to turn around and leave, a messy footsteps suddenly came from the gate of the inn. Then a Han general with a tiger-backed and bear-back walked out with a white-clothed scholar. When the white-clothed scholar saw Zhao Wu, he quickly bowed and said, "This person must be General Zhao Wu. He has met the general in Xia Baimo."

The Han general with a tiger back and a bear waist also hugged Zhao Wu and said in a muffled voice: "Last general Zhou Guanfu, see the general."

Zhao Zhong and the fifty-dead soldiers stood behind Zhao Wu's expressions suddenly shook. Zhou Guanfu, the champion Hou, who killed the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Ji Zhuo among thousands of troops?

Zhao Wu also looked stern and praised: "A real tiger general."

Bai Mo smiled and turned around and sterned his hands: "Please, General."

At this point, Zhao Wu had to bite the bullet and follow Bai Mo into the inn. What made him feel a little relieved was that the champion Hou and the Han army soldiers guarding outside the gate of the inn did not stop Zhao Zhong and the 50th conservatives of the Zhao Mansion. They followed Zhao Wu into the inn, and Zhao Zhong even followed Zhao Wu into the lobby of the inn.

Two tables of banquets had already been prepared in the lobby, and Bai Mo invited Zhao Wu to the table.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Bai Mo turned around and winked at Zhou Guanfu, then smiled and said, "General, I want to borrow something from you, but I don't know if the general is willing?"

Zhao Wu smiled and said, "As long as it is within my ability, why don't you want to?"

Bai Mo smiled and said, "Okay, I want to borrow the general's head for the neck and his head."

"Uh..." Zhao Wu suddenly uhned when he heard this, and the wine cup in his hand also fell on the table with a clang.

Zhao Zhong, who was standing behind Zhao Wu, turned his face and drew out the long sword with his backhand. However, he had just drawn the sword, but a sharp sword with air-cool air conditioning had already pressed against his neck. He looked slightly, and saw that the Chanjun Hou was full of murderous intent and staring at him like a tiger and wolf. Zhao Zhong was suddenly silent and dared not move any more.
