Chapter 250 Unite the Three Clans
Chapter 250 Unite the Three Clans
Entering the lobby, the patriarchs of the Zhaoqujing clan who were waiting in the lobby hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen the general." Xiang Yu is still not worthy of the courtesy of the three clan chiefs.Although the patriarchs of the three clans kept their posture very low, Xiang Yu didn't dare to push him too far, and he quickly bowed and said: "I have seen the three clan elders."

The four greeted each other, and then seated themselves as guests and hosts.

Zhaotong, the patriarch of the Zhao family, Qu Ping, the patriarch of the Qu family, and Jing Gong, the patriarch of the Jing family, are all old men in their sixties. Compromising, the three clans did not hide like a bereaved dog like Xiang's, so all of them were energetic and ruddy.

On the way the three of them came, they had secretly communicated Fan Zeng's intention for inviting them this time.

The three great clans belonged to the Xiang clan to fight against Qin, but the Xiang clan was very suspicious of these three clans. Xiang Yu appointed himself a general. Said to join the army.

On the contrary, Xiang Yu took all the private soldiers and domestic slaves from the families of the three major families under the pretext of extortion, and merged them into the Xiang family's army.

Although Zhaotong and the others were unhappy, they had nothing to do.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Otherwise, how could the Zhaotong three who were of the same generation as Xiang Yan bow first to salute Xiang Yu, Xiang Yan's grandson.

After the three of them sat down, although they were puzzled, they all remained silent. They couldn't guess what Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were going to do, so they could only see what Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were going to do.

Xiang Yu looked at Zhaotong and Zhaotong who were pretending to be calm in the hall, and said with a loud smile: "My nephew invited the three elders to the house today. It is really a matter of discussion." Xiang Yu put his posture very low, but he was indeed a It is understandable for the juniors of Zhaotong and the others to call themselves nephews.

"Oh? I don't know what the great general is talking about?" Zhaotong and the other three looked at each other calmly, and Zhaotong asked.

Facing the powerful Xiang clan at this moment, it is obvious that the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans have formed an alliance.

Although Xiang Yu is simple-minded, he is not a fool.The eyes of the three of them secretly communicating were completely noticed by him. He knew better than anyone else that the three clans were united under the pressure of his own Xiang clan. will collapse.Only when the three clans cannot be twisted together, can he lead the army with confidence.Only when the three tribes thought they could get more bones from themselves, would they not drag themselves back and take care of the Jiangdong land for themselves.

What Yafu said is right, I can't stay in this small place of Kuaiji all the time, now that the situation is changing, I must seize the opportunity, otherwise I can only watch others continue to grow bigger.

"The three clan elders must know that my nephew has been ordering people to find the descendants of the king."

Xiang Yu paused for a moment when he said this.

"But there's news?" Zhao Tong asked anxiously when he heard Xiang Yu's words. Qu Ping and Jing Gong, who were sitting upright beside him, couldn't pretend anymore at this moment, and they pressed their hands on the bronze table and stared at Xiang Yu closely.

"God bless, the descendant of the king has been found by my nephew." Xiang Yu said with a smile seeing the anxious expressions of the three old men.

"That's great!" Zhaotong and the others clapped their hands and sighed at the same time when they finally heard from Xiang Yu what they had been thinking about these days.

"I don't know where the eldest prince is now?" Qu Ping asked hastily.

"The three clan elders don't need to worry. The eldest prince's heir went to the countryside of Kuaiji to shepherd sheep, and now he is on his way to Wu County under the escort of his younger nephew. He will arrive in a few days." Xiang Yu comforted Zhaotong and the others.

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Zhaotong and the others beamed with joy.

What they are most afraid of now is not that they have no rights, but that the powerful Xiang clan wants to stand on their own.Compared with their high prestige and military power, if they want to establish themselves as kings, it is also a breeze.

At this time, hearing that Xiang Yu meant that he wanted to continue supporting the descendants of King Chu as king, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

As long as the Xiang clan still supported the Chu royal family, they would have the opportunity to regain their lost rights little by little.After all, the three clans are all offshoots of the royal family, and they have a lot of advantages in front of the King of Chu compared to the Xiang family, an outsider.

"It is important to invite the three elders to my nephew's house today." Xiang Yu detailed the news that Wu Rui from Jiujiang, Zhang Er and Chen Yu were restored to the Kingdom of Wei, Zhao Miao was restored to the Kingdom of Zhao, and Zang Tu was restored to the Kingdom of Yan.

Although the old guys are old, they are not stupid.

They understood a truth from Xiang Yu's words.

Xiang Yu has something to entrust to them.

"The general has any orders, but it's okay to say, if we can do it, we will do our best."

"However, our Chu Kingdom is restored, so how can we not return to our old capital, Shouying? Therefore, my nephew intends to send troops north to Shouchun tomorrow. If Shouchun returns, he will immediately welcome the eldest prince to succeed him, and formally declare to the world that our Chu Kingdom will be restored." Xiang Yu followed up.

"The general's words are very kind!"

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Zhaotong and the others couldn't help but blushed with excitement. Being able to rebuild the Chu State, regain power and restore the former glory of the three clans is what the three of Zhaotong have dreamed of doing over the years.

"But the three clan elders also know that Shouying is now in Wu Rui's hands. We must fight him if we want to take it back. This war can be as short as a few months or as long as half a year. Therefore, this land of Jiangdong It will be handed over to the three clan elders."

The three ancestors were so excited that they could not speak.

"My little nephew's army's food, grass, and armaments, I forget that the three clan elders can do their best to prepare."

"Of course! Of course!" Zhaotong and the others quickly agreed.

This is Xiang Yu handing over power to them in disguise.

"The Kingdom of Chu has been restored, and our Xiang clan still only controls the military and does not participate in politics according to the old system of Chu Kingdom. So the three clan elders can rest assured." Xiang Yu then threw out a bigger bone.

As soon as these words came out, the three of Zhaotong thought they had heard wrong, and looked at Xiang Yu who was smiling in amazement.

"Government matters are still under control, the three bosses can rest assured." Xiang Yu restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly.

Receiving Xiang Yu's affirmation again, looking at Xiang Yu with a serious face, Zhao Tong, Qu Ping, and Jing Gong, the three old cunning old guys who have controlled the power of Chu State for decades, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment.

The three of them knew the reason for Xiang Yan's defeat in Chu's last battle better than anyone else, and they believed that the Xiang family knew the same.

Right now it is obvious that the Xiang family is the dominant family, and the other three major families can only stand on the ground of Jiangdong at this moment by looking up to the Xiang family.The King of Chu is about to be established, and the Xiang family who have contributed to the establishment of the Chu State after the restoration of the State of Chu will inevitably seize the power of Saida in the new State of Chu.

In the future, the three clans can only fight against the Xiang clan if they unite. This is the fundamental reason why the Zhaoqujing clan can reach an alliance.

But now that Xiang Yu follows the old system of Chu State, it is obvious that he has given up the claim of other rights, and still has to maintain the original power distribution structure of Chu State. How can this not surprise and shame the three of Zhaotong.

"The general is highly righteous! The Xiang clan is highly righteous! We, the Zhao clan, will do our best to assist the general in destroying the Qin Kingdom and re-establishing Chu!" Zhaotong bowed to Xiang Yu and said solemnly.

A look of unnaturalness flashed across the faces of Qu Ping and Jing Gong next to them, but they followed closely with their vowed statements

Seeing what the three of them did, Xiang Yu's narrowed eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and then he showed his face and hurriedly returned the greeting.

Facing the strength of the Xiang clan, the three clans can only survive if they are united.

Now that Xiang Yu has tried to dismantle their alliance, they think that their interests will inevitably hinder each other, and it is no longer possible to unite.
