In front of Hangu Pass.
This heroic pass is no longer as dangerous as it was in the past when one person could serve as a million divisions, not to mention that the strong fortress has always been breached from the inside. Shandong is full of rebels, Qin Ting's army has been wiped out, and Guanzhong is also the same. After being conquered and the Qin Dynasty fell, what could a mere majestic pass do?
No one wanted to resist at all. As soon as Xiang Yu's army came, the Qin generals who were guarding the city opened the city gate directly. As for the general who was unwilling to surrender, he was naturally killed directly. Blocking everyone's way to survive was naturally the outcome.
Xiang Yu smiled loudly and said to Luo Ling: "Mr. Luo, please come to Guanzhong."
Luo Ling understood that this was the sequelae caused by the previous manipulation of Zhang Han and Meng Tian's Xiongguan. Now Xiang Yu was a little doubtful about life and was very respectful.
Luo Ling shook his head and said: "Please, King Xiang, you are the common master of the world."
After some negotiation between the two, Xiang Yu moved forward, led the coalition of Shandong princes into Hangu Pass, and then went straight to Xianyang.
He already knew the news about Liu Bang's attack on Xianyang. If it had happened before, he would definitely have had an attack. This was a great contribution to the demise of Qin, but it was actually obtained by others.
What's even more frustrating is that the two of them agreed to be brothers and jointly conquered Meng Tian and Zhang Han, and then Liu Bang turned around and entered Guanzhong. In Xiang Yu's view, this was Liu Bang's breach of trust.
He was the one who defeated the main force of the Qin army. Liu Bang defeated only a part of Meng Tian's army. After that, Guanzhong was even more empty. In Xiang Yu's view, this was just picking peaches. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. However, because Luo Ling was by his side, he Not easy to attack.
But of course Xiang Yu would not sit back and watch Liu Bang's King Guanzhong. From the beginning of the Zhaocheng Alliance, Xiang Yu had always wanted the position of King Guanzhong.
After the fall of the Chu State, Xiang has been thinking about why the Chu State failed. There are many reasons. One of them is that the land in Guanzhong of the Qin State is really good. Especially after it is connected to Bashu, the Chu State is often passively beaten without fighting back. Power.
Of course Xiang Yu would not let this land fall completely into the hands of one person. After he had already thought about enfeoffing it, he found excuses to start weakening these allies, and finally reached the point where the First Emperor could not enclose any land.
That's right!
What Xiang Yu really wants in his heart is not to seal an inch of land. He has no choice but to create kings for the princes and break the land, because those people are his allies and not subordinates. We can attack the violent Qin together. If you want to monopolize the world, it is really a dream!
But for his subordinates, he was as stingy with rewards as the First Emperor, and he wished he could get them all by himself. The county system was simply the most perfect system.
This is why Xiang Yu was very happy when Luo Ling said he was not ready to return to the country. If Luo family does not return to the country, he will have a lot more room for maneuver.
Luo Ling really didn't expect that the collapse of the Qin Dynasty was just around the corner, but Xiang Yu still planned to do this. The simple word "head iron" can no longer be used to describe Xiang Yu. This is a typical political imbecility.
Power will never belong to just one person. It needs to be shared in any era and in any country. A good power-sharing system can ensure the stability of the regime.
In this era that has just ended with the chaotic wars of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in this era where transportation and information transmission are not yet very effective, the most effective system for sharing power is to split the earth.
After all, land and population are power, so only those who are willing to tear apart the soil and create princes for their subjects can prosper and truly become kings!
…
The first moment Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, Liu Bang brought Luo Yi and others to worship him.
When the princes of the Shandong Hui League jointly elected Xiang Yu as the co-leader of the world, only Liu Bang and Han Wangcheng did not participate. It is considered appropriate to make up for it now.
Under the banquet, everyone drank and drank in a harmonious atmosphere. There was no sharpness of swords at all as expected, but Liu Bang was always on guard.
It's not just Xiang Yu who doesn't want him to be the king of Guanzhong, but also other Shandong princes.
Once Liu Bang became the king of Guanzhong, wouldn't it be a replica of the time when Qin went out to the east and destroyed other countries? How could everyone tolerate this?
These Shandong princes, especially the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, and even King Cheng of Han who traveled with Liu Bang all had the same desire.
That is to completely destroy everything in Qin.
Including but not limited to killing all Qin's clan and destroying Qin's history books, they want to pay back everything Qin did to them.
You must know that Xiang Yu is not the only one who has enmity with Qin. Basically, those kings who surrendered died in Xianyang.
If any of the heroes of Shandong did not have a few relatives who died at the hands of the First Emperor, it would only prove that their status was really low.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiang Yu raised his glass to Liu Bang with a smile and said: "Pei Gong, please drink again.
You bravely surpassed the princes, entered Guanzhong first, overthrew the Qin Dynasty, and made great contributions among the princes. If you were not crowned king in Guanzhong, the people of the world would not be convinced. "
Naturally, Liu Bang could hear the edge hidden in Xiang Yu's smile, and he quickly said: "Ji Neng broke into Guanzhong because you defeated Zhang Han in the Central Plains.
This is why you, as the co-host of the world, host the banquet, and Ji is the first to celebrate for you.
You killed the violent Qin Dynasty for the sake of Guizhou. Who can not be grateful for your kindness?
The throne of Ji is an agreement among the princes, but in the end, you must obey your orders. After all, your co-lord of the world is also an agreement among the princes. "
Xiang Yu said with a smile: "It took the whole world to slay the violent Qin. How can one person take all the credit?"
Ji had a conversation with Luo Gong a few days ago. Luo Gong did not want to return to the country. However, Luo Gong died with great merit in Qin. Ji thought about it and decided to rebuild Zhaocheng as Luo Gong's food town.
But when I restored the country for the kings, I suddenly realized that if the old country was restored, a heroic man like Pei Gong would have no land. Is this correct? "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Fortunately, Liu Bang was the one with the most stable throne among everyone present.
But the faces of the kings were a little ugly, but they couldn't say anything.
After all, Xiang Yu was right. They took away all the land. Other heroes also participated in the destruction of Qin. It is unjustifiable that they did not seal the land. I am afraid there will be a fight on the spot.
Xiang Yu looked around at everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but have a look of pride flashing through his eyes.
He thought to himself: After that, the kings were transferred away from their own bases, and the King of Qi only granted a part of the Qi land.
Then he cut off a part of the Yan region, and then granted two heroes from the Wei state to the Qi region.
The rest of the countries did the same thing, allowing these kings to attack each other, and then reap the benefits.
Luo Ling said nothing and watched Xiang Yu perform. He liked to let nature take its course.
The general trend is overwhelming, and all human actions will eventually be reflected in the future. As for Xiang Yu's future, Luo Ling is not optimistic.
Liu Bang always kept a clear head. In just a moment, Liu Bang discovered that at least four people had murderous intentions towards him. He felt a shiver in his heart and became even more cautious. He came with some apology this time, so he didn't have many people. Once these people want to take action, Xiang Yu will really capsize if he doesn't protect him.
