at the same time.
Li Yuan and Xiang Yu had already agreed to send troops to attack Qin.
Just when everyone thought that Xiang Yu was going to launch a surprise attack on the Qin territory or the Chu territory occupied by Qin.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu said this in front of all the officials:
"As the leader of this army, I will never attempt a surprise attack. If we have to fight, we must do so head-on, squarely and squarely, to eliminate the Qin army!"
"This battle is about the morale of the Chu people. If we launch a surprise attack, even if it succeeds, how will we let the Chu people know that we are not weaker than Qin?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
All officials were shocked.
However, after Li Yuan killed some people.
They no longer dare to stand up and oppose.
The Yan envoy Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "As expected of the Overlord of Chu. Seeing you today, you are truly imposing!"
Although Xiang Yu sent troops to attack the Qin territory, it was also able to ease the pressure on Yan State.
But it is far less effective than him going to the battlefield in person to fight Ying Yuan.
Li Yuan took over the conversation and said with a smile:
"I don't think this title of Tyrant is necessary."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the Xiang family was stunned.
This was a title that the Xiang family had fought for Xiang Yu at a huge price.
Its purpose is to be on par with "Chun Shenjun".
Now Li Yuan says he doesn’t want it anymore?
Then, they heard Li Yuan say:
"How about, starting today, Your Majesty, crown General Xiang as king?"
"Just call me Overlord!"
In an instant, all the officials were stunned again.
The puppet emperor Mi Sheng sitting on the dragon throne was also confused.
However, what confused them was yet to come.
The Xiang family members quickly came to their senses and knelt down, saying:
"Meet the Overlord!"
"Thousand years, great king!"
"Overlord!"
“…”
My goodness, even Huang Xie doesn’t dare to claim to be king.
Li Yuan directly made Xiang Yu the king.
What does this mean?
Are you deliberately trying to curry favor with the Xiang family at this time?
No!
This is a naked form of flattery.
Huang Xie has just passed away, and it was only because of his great contributions that he was awarded the title of "Duke of Anguo".
What virtue and ability did Xiang Yu have to deserve to be crowned king?
By then, all the Chu people in the world will definitely talk about this matter a lot.
In the State of Chu, title was a very important thing, even more important than official position.
As Xiang's ministers knelt on the ground.
Xiang Yu was completely inflated. He laughed loudly twice and said:
"This time, I, the king, will lead the army to attack Qin and will surely inflict a heavy defeat on the Qin army!"
"If Qin is destroyed, Chu will be the one to fall! If Qin is destroyed, Chu will be the one to fall!"
His response was equivalent to accepting the title of "King".
Xiang Yu guessed that Li Yuan might have bad intentions.
But he just couldn't refuse.
He is only thirty years old now, six years younger than Ying Yuan.
He became king at the age of thirty.
He is only one step away from becoming the 'Emperor' of Ying Yuan.
How could he refuse?
Just then.
Suddenly, a voice was heard outside the palace, giving some officials some hope.
"What a tyrant! Duke Anguo's body is still warm, and Xiang's army has not yet won."
"Have you already started discussing the meritorious service and the conferring of titles?"
"Xiang Yu hasn't achieved anything in all these years, so why should he be granted the title of king?"
This was Wu Qi's voice.
In the entire Chu court, the only person who could compete with the Xiang family has arrived.
When everyone's attention was attracted by Wu Qi.
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.
Everything was within his expectations.
The reason why Li Yuan's plan was successful this time.
It's just because he captured people's hearts.
