A month later, a ten-foot platform was built in the northern suburbs of Wuzhong.

Xiang Zhuang worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth on the high platform, and then held a grand coronation ceremony under the leadership of the aristocratic clan Sun Shuguan, officially inheriting the throne and becoming the second king of the Western Chu State.

Xiang Zhuang immediately issued an edict to change Western Chu to Da Chu, Wuzhong as its capital, Zhangjun to Danyang County, and Ji County was divided into two, thirteen counties in the north established Wu County, and fifteen counties in the south were still Kuaiji County.

The second edict issued by Xiang Zhuang was to appoint personnel and dismiss Xiang He as the chief magistrate, and appointed Xiang Tuo as the general, and appointed Xiang Tuo as the general, and fully presided over the military affairs of the Great Chu. This is also a matter of course in the title. Xiang Zhuang's ability to successfully inherit the throne is inseparable from the strong support of Xiang He and Xiang Tuo. Xiang Zhuang of course had to repay his kindness.

A mature politician and a skilled commander will never take all the benefits into your arms. If you want to eat meat, you have to give others some soup, right? Or will they work hard for you?

Xiang and Xiang Tuo spared no effort to support Xiang Zhuang, and the two of them had a high reputation in Jiangdong. If Xiang Zhuang appointed his confidant as the chief magistrate and general of the Great Chu, it would inevitably be worthy of the people, and gave people the bad impression of being nepotist and short-sighted. Once this impression was formed, the Jiangdong clans and gentry should be disunited.

The third edict issued by Xiang Zhuang was to appoint Shusun Guan as the prefect of Wujun, Qu Yi as the prefect of Danyang, Wu Qi as the prefect of Kuaiji, and more than 100 young talents were selected from the former Chu clans, Jiangbei geniuses, and Jiangdong clans, and served as county magistrates and county magistrates of each county.

This edict is the result of political compromise.

Xiang Xi, Xiang Tuo is not a commander but also has the aristocratic races and gentry behind them. If Xiang Zhuang wants to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong as soon as possible, he must rely on these aristocratic races, gentry and the Jiangdong clan that originally supported Xiang Guan. Moreover, the place of governance is not arrogance under Xiang Zhuang who charges the battlefield and cannot do this.

The benefits of political compromise are obvious. After the imperial edict, the situation in Jiangdong was immediately calmed down. Not only did Danyang County, but the political situation in Wu County quickly got on track. The clans in Kuaiji County, which were originally clamoring to avenge Xiang Guan, immediately stopped and rush to recommend the children of their respective clans to Xiangzhuang.

After all, these clans are not Xiang Guan's retainers. In their eyes, ensuring the interests of their clans is the primary priority. They shouted that they would avenge Xiang Guan, but they were just bargaining chips for bargaining with Xiang Zhuang. From the beginning, they never thought about revenge Xiang Guan. Xiang Zhuang chose to compromise, and they were satisfied.

Of course, such political compromise cannot only have benefits, and there are also disadvantages.

Shusun Guan, Qu Yi and Wu Qi were appointed as the three county magistrates, and from the former Chu clans, Jiangbei geniuses and Jiangdong clans, young talents were selected as county magistrates and county magistrates of each county, which inevitably encouraged their power, thus forming a mixed power network in the three counties of Jiangdong. From then on, even Xiangzhuang would find it difficult to easily shake this big network.

However, for now, Xiang Zhuang is not at ease with these things for the time being. The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong as soon as possible so as not to give hostile forces an opportunity to take advantage of it. Because Xiang Zhuang knew very well that the reason why all forces in the past remained silent was just hoping that the Xiang could kill each other. Now that Xiang Zhuang succeeded to the great throne, the situation in Jiangdong was basically settled, and they should take action.

……………………

Xiang Zhuang’s worries are by no means redundant. At least Liu Bang has never relaxed his attention to Xiang Zhuang.

Half a month ago, Liu Bang had already led a large army back from Shangjun to Longxi. The battle between the Han army and the Huns finally ended in a draw. Lu Tai defeated the Huns at Baiyu Mountain Pass, beheaded more than 4,000 levels, and captured Dong Muhe, the left-ranking Xiongnu family, alive. But Maodun's main force also defeated the Guanying cavalry near Fushi, beheading 5,000!

Maodun and Liu Bang confronted Shangjun for more than half a month, but eventually returned in vain.

Liu Bang took advantage of the Zun to recruit more than 2,000 remaining cavalry of Guan Ying and demoted Guan Ying to the cavalry commander according to the agreement before the expedition, while Lu Tai was promoted from Changle School Captain to General Changle.

On that day, Liu Bang got up early as usual and was practicing swordsmanship in the backyard.

When Liu Bang was young, he was also a well-known hero in Pei County, and his physical foundation was quite good. Otherwise, Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying and others would not have regarded him as their eldest brother. However, after the rebellion, Liu Bang gradually became drunk and lost his body. However, since he stationed in Longxi, Liu Bang's body quickly returned to his former toughness.

It was not until Liu Bang took away the sword when he was sweating on his forehead, and Xiahou Ying quickly handed over the cloth towel.

Liu Bang wiped his sweat and twisted his neck again, and the neck joint suddenly made a sound of "ticaca" sound.

Xiahou Ying couldn't help but look at him sideways and said sincerely: "King, your body is getting stronger day by day."

Liu Bang shook his shoulders, Piaotianwen.com is not, go and call Lao Fan, I can even overturn it now." Speaking of this, Liu Bang's voice suddenly stopped, and his face was sad.

Xiahou Ying also looked gloomy and whispered: "Master, Lao Fan has gone."

Liu Bang's face twitched and said with a grim voice: "Xiang Zhuang, I will kill you!" As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden rushing footsteps came from behind him. When Liu Bang and Xiahou Ying looked back quickly, they saw Zhang Li and Chen Ping had already walked into the backyard of the yard.

"King, Jiangdong has broken the deadlock!, Zhang Liang waved and panted.

After stationed in Longxi, Liu Bang became stronger and stronger because he was far away from drinking, but Zhang Liang was getting thinner and thinner. Now he would be unable to breathe when he walked a few miles a little. Zhang Liang was obviously infected with a hidden disease, which made Liu Bang very worried. He even invited the imperial doctor of Qin from Xianyang to take Zhang Liang's pulse and consult him, but he did not find any symptoms.

"Zufang, walk slowly, the sky will not fall." Liu Bang had an indescribable worry in his eyes.

Zhang Liang strode to Liu Bang, waved his hand, and smiled and said with a silence: "Don't worry, my lord, I know my body, I don't dare to think about my life for a hundred years, but I can't die for ten or eight years, haha."

Liu Bang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said, "You just said that Jiangdong broke the deadlock?"

"Well, Jiangdong has broken the deadlock." Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Fanzhuang has successfully inherited the throne." "Xiangzhuang!" Liu Bang couldn't help clenching his fists, and after a while, he let go again, sighing, "Xiangzhuang's child is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. Such a complicated situation, he actually cracked it just by saying it was cracked?" After saying this, Liu Bang said, "It seems that Xiangzhuang's child's political skills are much better than Xiang Yu."

Chen Pingshen agreed and said, "Xiang Zhuang is indeed more difficult to deal with than Xiang Yu."

To deal with Xiang Yu, it is more of a military pressure. However, to deal with Xiang Zhuang, relying solely on military means is not enough to solve the problem, and we have to start from politics.

Liu Bang led the leader and asked Chen Ping again, "Chen Ping, do you have any solutions?" Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "King, Guanzhong has suffered a catastrophe and was seriously injured in its vitality. He just went to Shangjun and was burned, killed and looted by the Huns. Within at least three years, our army may not be able to send troops to Guandong, but we can't watch Xiang Zhuang grow up, at least we should cause some trouble for him."

"Create some trouble?" Liu Bang said, "What trouble?" Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Master, it is more than our family who don't want Xiangzhuang to grow up." Chen Ping continued, "Yingbu, Zhou Yin, Wu Rui, and others who are close to Jiangdong are afraid they are even more nervous than the king."

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "It's not just Ying Bu, Zhou Yin and Wu Rui, but also Dong'ou King Si Suiyao and Minyue King Si Wuzhu. These two are also mortal enemies of the Xiang family in Jiangdong!"

Chen Ping gently led the leader and said, "In addition, Li Zuoche and Jin Xu who were left in Huai Si, the seven-way coalition forces were the seven-way coalition forces. Even if the seven-way coalition forces were unable to destroy the Chu State, it would be enough for Xiangzhuang to be busy for several years?"

"Seven-Road Alliance?" Liu Bang was very moved, but he was soon trapped again, "But Yingbu's traitor just turned against me, would he listen to my instructions? And Si Suiyao and Si Wuzhu are more appropriate than being descendants of King Yue, and Xiang Zhuang's military strength is so strong that these people dare to swear their strength?"

Liu Bang's concerns are not unreasonable. It is true that Ying Bu, Wu Rui, Zhou Yin, Si Suiyao, Si Wuzhu and others face the threat of Chu, but they may not dare to jump out to fight Xiang Zhuang. It is important to know that Xiang Zhuang is not easy to mess with. At the time, the 700,000 coalition forces could not destroy his 5,000 remaining soldiers. Now Xiang Zhuang has tens of thousands of troops, which is even more difficult to mess with.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Xiang Zhuang's military strength is strong, but how about the tyrant Ying Zheng?" Liu Bang frowned and said: "This is naturally incomparable. Winning the political power and soldiers swallowing up the six countries. The military strength is unmatched in eternal ways!"

Zhang Ji said again: "There are only two counties in Jiangdong, which is compared with the already devastated Qin Empire?" "This is even more incomparable." Liu Bang was confused and said, "Zifang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Liang said: "King, my intention is very simple. Although Xiang Zhuang's military strength is strong, it is far less than Ying Zheng. No matter how strong the Chu State is, it is far from comparable to the former Great Qin Empire. However, the Great Qin Empire founded by Ying Zheng was not the same as the Yi Emperor. "Will the imperial edict of Wang Zhi, who entered Guanzhong first, perish?" Chen Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was determined to Zhang Liangduan's good plan!

Zhang Liang paused and said, "Why don't the king follow the example of Emperor Yi? Let's go to Jiangdong first?" Liu Bang mowed the beard of mochun's corner and said thoughtfully: "Zifang, what do you mean is, whoever conquers Jiangdong first, will I enthrone him as the King of Chu?"

"That's right." Zhang Liang said, "The Qin Empire was so powerful in the past, but under the Guanzhong King, all the princes of all over the world flocked to attack Guanzhong? Now the king is the leader of the king, and the position of King Chu is waiting for Yingbu, Wu Rui, Zhou Yin, Si Suiyao, Si Wuzhu and others can hold back?"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The word politics has appeared in "Shangshu" and "Zhou Li", but it is not a modern word.
