As Wei Zheng finished speaking, Songtsen Gampo frowned slightly.

"Isn't Xiang Yu's breach of trust, overstepping of authority, and being so domineering enough to make the princes rebel against him?"

Songtsen Gampo retorted: "He only has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses."

"not enough!"

Wei Zheng replied decisively: "Qi, Yan, Wei and other groups rescued Zhao's reinforcements, but they did not dare to take action because they were afraid of Qin. It was Xiang Yu who took the lead and defeated the Qin army of 400,000 with 50,000!"

"The princes don't even dare to touch Qin..."

"But the Chu soldiers were one against ten, and the Qin army was beaten to the point where they lost their helmets and armour."

"Who dares to tease Xiang Yu's beard!"

"And, have you forgotten the Battle of Pengcheng?"

Songtsen Gampo's pupils shrank.

The Battle of Pengcheng!

Xiang Yu led 30,000 cavalry and defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 allied army!

"Thank you, Minister Wei, for clearing up the confusion."

Songtsen Gampo returned the gift.

Wei Zheng nodded: "There is nothing wrong with your previous views, but if you say too much, you will be wrong. If you put yourself into the eighteen princes, you will lose."

"So this time your strategic vision belongs to..."

With that said, Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin.

Leave the show-off to Li Shimin.

"Songtsen Gampo, you are falsely claiming that the overlord of Western Chu cannot participate in the struggle for hegemony."

"It also means that after the Hongmen Banquet, we will attack the Overlord of Western Chu, and the entire army will be annihilated in the end."

"This game concludes that your strategic vision was wrong, do you agree?"

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and announced with a smile.

"recognize!"

Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and replied.

I'm still a little bit reluctant.

He could obviously win one round, but because he talked too much, the round was wasted.

But it’s okay, I’m well prepared and there are still several rounds left to fight.

"Then Qiqi..."

Wei Zheng looked at Wu Qiqi with a smile on his face and a kind tone: "It's your turn this time."

"Okay."

Wu Qiqi cutely opened the manuscript and took a casual look at it: "My point is... Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin soldiers in a trap and massacred many times, which destined him to be unable to dominate the world."

One breath, two breaths, and ten breaths passed, and Wu Qiqi said no more.

Finished?

No more explanation?

The officials were dumbfounded, and Songtsen Gampo was also speechless.

So what are you writing about in that thick stack of manuscripts in your hand?

"well said!"

Wei Zheng roared: "The world is based on the people, but Xiang Yu is cruel and cruel and has a murderous nature."

"For the first time, Xiangcheng massacred the city, and the civilians were not spared."

"The second time, the Chengyang Massacre, killed all the civilians assisting the Qin army."

"The third time, the Xin'an Massacre, killed 200,000 Qin troops."

"The fourth time, the Xianyang Massacre, killed Qin Jiang's prince Ying, burned Qin's palace, and allowed his subordinates to burn, kill and loot civilians."

"The fifth time, they broke through the Qi massacre, trapped and killed Tian Rong's soldiers, and burned, killed and looted again."

"The sixth time, the Waihuang massacre, but it was stopped."

"How can such a murderous person rule the world?"

Wei Zheng's explanation.

All the ministers were stunned.

"Uncle Wei is right, that's what I mean."

Wu Qiqi raised the manuscript in his hand: "I remember it all."

Wei Zheng smiled and stroked his beard, then looked at Songtsen Gampo: "Songtsen Gampo, do you have any other opinions?"

What can I say?

I dare you to have any opinions.

She says something, and you explain it to her.

I talk so much, and you find flaws in me.

Do you think it's fair?

"She said it well, I have no problem with it."

Songtsen Gampo sighed.

The people are the foundation. This is an essential quality for every king and cannot be refuted.

"Okay, then it's your turn now." Wei Zheng smiled.

I temporarily won a round and had the upper hand.

Songtsen Gampo nodded, opened the manuscript again and started reading it, thinking about the words and saying...

"My next point is that Xiang Yu is a headstrong man who acts on his own initiative and doesn't pay attention to talents!"

"The most famous one is Han Xin."

"Xiang Yu was too proud and never paid attention to Han Xin's suggestions until Han Xin took refuge with Liu Bang and finally forced him to commit suicide in Wujiang River!"

"The second one is Chen Ping!"

"Because of Chen Ping's defeat in a battle, Xiang Yu became angry with the officers and soldiers led by Chen Ping, and planned to kill them all. In the end, Chen Ping sealed the deal with gold and defected to Liu Bang!"

"Third, Fan Zeng!"

"No one expected that a few years later, an angry Chen Ping would use a simple divorce plan to break up Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng."

"Without Fan Zeng to advise Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu completely went downhill and was completely defeated after only two years of support."

"Fourth, the stubborn minister Zhong Limei!"

"It was Chen Ping's plan to alienate him. He said that Zhong Limei had made a lot of contributions but was not rewarded by Xiang Yu, so he wanted to join forces with Liu Bang to destroy Xiang Yu."

"The most ridiculous thing is that Xiang Yu really became suspicious and no longer trusted Zhong Limei."

"In addition to these people, there are also Ying Bu, Ling Yin Lingchang, Chen Gongli, etc..."

"Xiang Yu doesn't know people well and hires people for nepotism. It's destined that he won't be able to go far, let alone dominate the world!"

As soon as the words fell, Songtsen Gampo immediately shut his mouth, and he would say too much and make too many mistakes later.

All the ministers nodded.

Songtsen Gampo’s words are remarkable and cannot be refuted.

"good."

Wei Zheng was quite disgusted, but even he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

He looked at Wu Qiqi with a smile: "Qiqi, it's your turn."

"Okay."

Wu Qiqi looked through the manuscript...

"etc."

Songtsen Gampo looked at Wei Zheng: "This is a competition between me and her. If I say more, I will lose the advantage, but I also ask Wei Shizhong not to defend her."

"If she only mentions a concept and all the officials of the Tang Dynasty explain it to her, then is it a competition between me and her, or is it a competition between me and all the officials of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wei Zheng frowned slightly.

Songtsen Gampo saluted Li Shimin again: "I hope His Majesty the Tang Emperor will grant my request."

Li Shimin was also in trouble.

If Songtsen Gampo hadn't failed because of his excessive talk, he could still have refused this proposal.

But the concept that Songtsan Gampo put forward for the first time was right, but he failed because he said too much, so he could no longer protect Wu Qiqi.

"allow."

Li Shimin said: "Xuan Cheng, preside over it fairly!"

"promise."

Wei Zheng had no choice but to accept the order.

Wu Qiqi flipped through the manuscript and found that the item about Xiang Yu's unknown person had already been mentioned by Songtsen Gampo.

She pulled out the note and folded it at the bottom.

Then I read the rest of the manuscript and began to explain calmly...

“My next point is about institutions!”

"Xiang Yu adopted the enfeoffment system! But Liu Bang implemented a unified system at the beginning."

"Every time Xiang Yu conquered a place, he burned, killed, looted, and made the people resentful."

"And Liu Bang implemented a policy of unification. Every time he conquered a place, he occupied a place and brought the city under his command."

"Xiao He will manage internal affairs and public security, and be responsible for restoring the economy and stability."

"Han Xin is responsible for conquering cities and occupying more land and population."

"In the long run, Liu Bang's power will become more and more powerful!"

"On the other hand, Xiang Yu was only obsessed with temporary pleasure and never thought about the people or the future..."

"He is institutionally destined to be unable to dominate the world."

(Liu Bang finally implemented the coexistence of the enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system. The enfeoffment system was deeply ingrained and could not be changed at once. Even Han Xin supported the enfeoffment system and there were so many meritorious officials. Moreover, Qin Shihuang's prefecture and county system destroyed the country, and Liu Bang was also worried. In the end A two-pronged approach)
