The meaning of Fan Zeng's speech is very simple, that is, although the Tyranny of the Qin Dynasty has not been completely eliminated, it has only shrunk to the Guanzhong area, and it is no longer a great weapon.

 This world has basically fallen into our hands, and it is time for us to reward our achievements and distribute the fruits of victory.

 To put it bluntly, Fan Zeng was telling everyone that they were going to sit in rows and share the results.

 Fan Zeng's words immediately attracted discussions from various princes, but the ones who were more excited were some of their generals.

 Before these lords could react, Fan Zeng announced that all their self-established king titles were not counted.

 Xiang Yu will re-divide them, give him a new king title, and re-divide the country for them.

 At this time, Xiang Yu's reputation is so high and his strength is so strong that he is completely the new uncrowned king, so only Xiang Yu is qualified to re-entrust them.

 Only Xiang Yu entrusted them with more practical significance.

 Faced with Fan Zeng's announcement, the princes from all walks of life had no objections, and even had some expectations in their hearts.

 After all, before they became kings on their own, they didn't actually occupy much territory.

 At this time, many cities in Daqin are still under the control of Daqin officials, or in the hands of some rogues.

 These so-called kings of Zhao, King Yan, King Wei, etc. sound quite tall, but I don't know if they really think they are the kings of a country.

 But in fact, they are just some soldiers and horses in their hands, each occupying a small part of the land of Zhao, Yan and Wei before.

 If at this time, someone defeats them, kills them, and then establishes himself as king, that person will be the new king, and there will be nothing wrong with them.

 Even, if Xiang Yu is willing to send troops, he can completely defeat them.

 But if Xiang Yu enfeoffs them again, it will be equivalent to getting Xiang Yu's recognition, and they will not be attacked by Xiang Yu.

 More importantly, once Xiang Yu entrusts them with a new king title and territory, then they will be able to take over their respective territories in a fair manner.

 At that time, whoever's territory is clearly defined, there will be no need to entangle and fight each other.

 Therefore, apart from those generals who had already received the news in advance, the existing princes are also very much looking forward to Xiang Yu's new entrustment to them.

 They took it for granted that Xiang Yu would most likely enfeoff these princes and hand over the old places of the six kingdoms to them.

 But unfortunately, these princes think too much.

 Immediately, Fan Zeng read out a distribution edict prepared in advance for Xiang Yu.

 In the edict, Xiang Yu established himself as the overlord of Western Chu, with Pengcheng as his capital, and his fiefdoms included more than a dozen counties in the existing Great Qin Dynasty, such as Zhang County, Kuaiji County, Dongyang County Tan County, Sishui County, etc.

 The area covers the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan, Hebei and other places of later generations, which is very vast.

 Faced with Xiang Yu's allocation of so many territories for himself, the other princes were very dissatisfied, but they dared not say anything. They were looking forward to how much Xiang Yu would grant them.

 At the same time, Xiang Yu respected King Huai of Chu as Emperor Yi, moved his capital to Chen County, and all the princes respected him together, similar to Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

 In the end, other princes, generals, generals, etc. were newly entrusted, and the list of enfeoffments was no longer just the existing princes.

 The land entrusted by Xiang Yu included all the other territories of the Great Qin, except for the Guanzhong, Beidi, Shangjun and other territories of the current Great Qin, most of which were the lands of the former Six Kingdoms.

 Compared with history, Xiang Yu entrusted the eighteen princes in Xianyang, this time the number of Xiang Yu enfeoffed princes is less.

 After all, Zhang Han and Zhai Wang Dongyi, who were named King Yong by Xiang Yu in history, have now escaped and killed the other, so it is impossible for Xiang Yu to divide them.

 At the same time, Guanzhong, Beidi and other places are still in the hands of Daqin, and Xiang Yu has no way to divide the land here.

 In the end, Xiang Yu directly entrusted Badi to Sima Xin, the general of the Great Qin Dynasty who came back to join Xiang Yu. He was no longer named King Sai as in history, but King Ba.

 Originally, Fan Zeng wanted to entrust Sima Xin to Hanzhong to monitor Daqin, and at the same time entrust Liu Bang to Bashu so that they could be monitored together.

 But Xiang Yu considered that Liu Bang had already occupied Hanzhong at this time, and it would not be easy for Liu Bang to give up Hanzhong.

 This time, Xiang Yu asked the princes from all walks of life to send troops to attack Qin again, and the princes from all walks of life spoke out to evade, but Liu Bang never shirked.

 This made Xiang Yu feel good about Liu Bang's behavior this time, so he didn't listen to Fan Zeng.

 Instead, Sima Xin was assigned to Badi, Liu Bang was assigned to Hanzhong and Shu, and Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han.

 As for the other dozen princes, basically there is not much change from history.

 The current king of Wei, Wei Bao, was named the king of the Western Wei Dynasty by Xiang Yu. His capital was Pingyang, and his territory was mainly in the land of Hedong, which is now the south of Shanxi.

 Han Cheng, king of Han, was conferred the title of King of Han by Xiang Yu. His capital was Yangzhai, and his territory was very small, in the area of ​​Yuxian County, Henan Province in later generations.

 Instead, Shen Yang, who was originally a general of Zhao Xiangzhang's ear, was named the king of Henan. The capital Luoyang is not very large, and it is also in Luoyang.

 The original king of Zhao, Zhao Xie, was named the king of Dai by Xiang Yu, and the capital of Daixian was moved to the north of Shanxi.

 Zhao Xiang Zhang Er was named Changshan King by Xiang Yu, his capital was Xiangguo, and his territory was in the south of Hebei in later generations.

 General Sima Ang of Zhao was named King of Yin, his capital was Chaoge, and his territory was very small, in the area of ​​Qixian County, Henan Province in later generations.

 The original Fan Jun, Wu Rui, was named King of Hengshan by Xiang Yu, with the capital of Zhu County, and later generations in the Changsha area.

 Gong Ao, the Shangzhu Kingdom of the original Chu Kingdom, was conferred the title of Linjiang King by Xiang Yu. The capital is Jiangling, and the territory is not small. Basically, it is most of the land in the west of the former Chu Kingdom.

 Han Guang, the king of Yan, was named the king of Liaodong by Xiang Yu.

 At the same time, Xiang Yu directly named Zang Tu, the powerful general of King Yan, as King Yan. The capital is Jixian, which is near the capital of later generations, and the territory is the northern part of Hebei.

 Later, Xiang Yu also named the original Qiwangtian City as the King of Jiaodong, the capital Jimo, and the territory is the prominent half of the Shandong Peninsula.

 Instead, Tiandu, a general under the command of King Tianshi of Qi, was named King of Qi. The capital is Linzi, and the territory is in the south-central section of Shandong.

 The original king of Qi (the king of Qi in the Six Kingdoms period), Sun Tian'an, was named the king of Jibei by Xiang Yu. His capital was Boyang, and his territory was in the north-west area of ​​Shanxi.

 There is also a relatively big change, that is, Yingbu, who should have been named King of Jiujiang by Xiang Yu, was not entrusted this time.

 The territory that originally belonged to Yingbo, that is, the Huainan area, was directly incorporated into Xiang Yu's fief, making Xiang Yu's fief very large in this life.

 In this way, after being re-entrusted by Xiang Yu, there are a total of fifteen princes, plus one Yidi Xiongxin, a total of one emperor and fifteen kings.

 If you count Daqin, which has not yet been destroyed at this time, and Xiang Yu himself, China now has two emperors and sixteen kings coexisting.

 When Fan Zeng finished reading Xiang Yu's entrustment edict, some people were happy and others were worried.

 Like the previous Zhao general Sima Ang, Qi general Tiandu, Yan general Zang Tu and others, they were naturally happy. They no longer subordinated to others, but became princes.

 Like the former Qi Wang Tianshi, Zhao Wang Zhao Xie, Yan Wang Han Guang and others, they were all pissed off.

 Although they are still crowned kings by Xiang Yu, their titles are no longer King Qi, King Zhao, King Yan, which are more orthodox titles.

 Instead, he was named Dai Wang, Jiaodong King and Liaodong King. This sounds like a pheasant king.

 Moreover, Xiang Yu now made their most powerful generals into princes, which simply made them cut off their arms.

 These ministries will go out independently, not only will they lose a general, they will also be taken away by a large number of soldiers and horses, and a large piece of land will be taken away, which makes them happy.

 However, the reasons given by Xiang Yu are also very sufficient.

 These other princes and generals who were entrusted by Xiang Yu all performed the best in defeating the Qin armies from all walks of life before, and made a lot of military exploits.

 Xiang Yu named them kings on the grounds of their great contributions, and no one could give any reason to object.

 Even if people like Han Guang and Zhao Xie stood up to oppose Xiang Yu's enfeoffment at this time, it would not only annoy Xiang Yu, but even directly turn against the generals under their command.

 Therefore, in the face of Xiang Yu's tactic disintegration, the princes from all walks of life could only knock out their teeth and swallow their stomachs, and could not say anything at all.

 "Are you all satisfied with this king's entrustment?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile.

 "Satisfied, General, no, it's the overlord who divides the titles like this. It is well-founded and convincing. We will always follow the overlord's lead."

 The newly named Yan Wang Zang Tu, Qi Wang Tiandu and others stood up one after another and said with satisfaction, expressing their loyalty to Xiang Yu by the way.

 Xiang Yu was very satisfied with the statements of these people, and this was the result he wanted.

 As for Zhao Xie, Han Guang, Tian Shi and others, their faces were gloomy and they didn't say a word.

 "After the winter, the princes from all walks of life rushed to their respective fiefdoms. You can discuss and resolve specific matters by yourself."

 "No, Overlord."

 "As for the attack on Qin again..."

 "We firmly support the Overlord. If the Tyrant Qin is not eradicated, we will not withdraw our troops."

 "Yes, Tyrant Qin must be destroyed, and Hu Hai, the faint king, must be killed."

 Xiang Yu looked down, Tian Du, whom he had just made king of Qi, and Zang Tu, who had just been made king of Yan, jumped out to support him before he finished speaking, with a smile on his face.

 "You are right, Tyranny must be destroyed, Hu Hai must die.

 However, considering that it has entered the middle of winter at this time, the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days, which is very inconvenient for the deployment of troops and food.

 Therefore, this king decided to postpone the time to attack Qin again.

 After next year's summer harvest, the king will issue a 'decree to defeat Qin'.

 At that time, all of you fifteen princes must send troops, each with at least [-] soldiers and horses, and raise your own food and grass.

 This king assures you that after conquering Xianyang and destroying Baoqin, this king will distribute to you the wealth accumulated by Baoqin in Guanzhong according to your military exploits. "

 Xiang Yu finally followed Fan Zeng's suggestion and postponed the second attack on Qin.

 In fact, a gust of cold air has come from the north in the past few days, causing the temperature in most of Daqin to drop sharply.

 Hangu Pass was originally located in the west, and the temperature at night could even drop to minus [-] degrees. Such a cold climate was no longer suitable for mobilizing troops.

 Simply, Xiang Yu waited another half a year, half a year later, when the summer harvest was over, and when the princes from all walks of life were strong and strong, they formed an allied army and broke through Hangu Pass in one go, destroying Tyranny.

 "The overlord is wise!"

 Hearing what Xiang Yu said, the princes from all walks of life breathed a sigh of relief and shouted.

 Xiang Yu's discussion this time is probably the only thing that has won the support of all the princes.

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 The discussion in Luoyang ended soon, and the princes from all walks of life did not stay in Luoyang, and rushed back to their respective territories without stopping, busy dividing their families.

 Xiang Yu re-entrusted the princes this time, and divided into fifteen groups of princes. Except for the princes of that route, there is no peace among them.

 Especially those who were entrusted by Xiang Yu, those generals who were originally under the command of the princes from all walks of life, they will separate from their original monarchs after they return.

 At that time, they will inevitably take away some soldiers and horses, which must be what the original princes did not want to see.

 In this case, no matter how they divide, both parties will not be satisfied, and there will definitely be rifts between them, and even hatred.

 This is what Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng hope to see, they just don't want these princes to get together.

 As long as these vassals don't form a group, with Xiang Yu's strength, he can easily command all of them. This trick is indeed very clever.

 Soon, the princes from all walks of life left cleanly, and Liu Bang also did not stay too long.

 This time, Xiang Yu named him King of Han and enfeoffed Hanzhong and Shu to him. Although there was some deviation from Liu Bang's initial expectations, he was still satisfied.

 According to Zhang Liang's development plan for Liu Bang in the next few years, it is best for Liu Bang to occupy Hanzhong and Bashu.

 It's just that Badi is entrusted to Sima Xin by Xiang Yu.

 After the princes from all walks of life left, Xiang Yu also quickly ordered that the [-] troops retreat eastward to his hometown of Pengcheng.

 Before leaving, Xiang Yu secretly summoned his general, Ying Bu, and asked him to lead the elite soldiers to the south quietly, preparing to kill Emperor Yi Xiong Xin on the way.

 At this time, Xiang Yu respected Xiong Xin as the righteous emperor on the surface, but in fact he had long intended to get rid of Xiong Xin in his heart.

 After all, Xiong Xin is still his former master in name, and now Xiang Yu, who has established himself as the overlord of Western Chu, would not want someone on his head who can control him.

 "No, don't worry Overlord, the humble job will be done well."

 After receiving Xiang Yu's order, Yingbo also showed a ruthless expression and promised.

 At the end of December, Xiang Yu led the army to withdraw from Luoyang and return to Pengcheng.

 At this time, the five thousand cavalry of the Qin Army led by Huang Zhong in the west had also arrived at Gaonu City in Shangjun, accompanied by Ma Chao and Jia Xu.

 Coincidentally, when Huang Zhong and Ma Chao arrived in Gaonu City, there was a cavalry force from the northern lands, who had arrived here, preparing to attack Gaonu.

 "Report, General Qi, there are cavalry from the northern lands surrounding Gaonu City. There are a large number of troops, about [-] cavalry."

 A Qin army scout found out the situation and reported to Huang Zhong.

 "Haha, I didn't expect to meet these rebels when I first came to Gaonu. It's really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get here.

 General Ben of this province has led the army to look for them everywhere. "

 After hearing the report from his scouts, Huang Zhong didn't show any timidity on his face, but was very excited and said loudly.

 At this time, Huang Zhong, summoned by Xu Feng, was only in his thirties, in his prime, and he was a general at his peak.
