On the wall of Peixian County.

When everyone heard Li You's shouting, they were surprised.

Xiao He was also very surprised, how could the other party know that he was among the enemy troops?

Liu Ji said: "Lord Xiao must not go out. ”

Xiao He looked at Li You, who was shouting under the city, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Liu Ji, maybe the opportunity you want has come, the other party saw that I had not left the city for a long time to meet the battle, and knew that we were ready to fortify the city, and their cavalry could not attack the city, so they shouted and asked me to go out and talk." ”

Liu Ji was stunned and said excitedly: "You mean...... Are they going to take us down? ”

Xiao He nodded: "That's the case, otherwise, what can he talk about if he calls me out." ”

Liu Ji's eyes lit up, so he said with concern: "Then Lord Xiao must be careful, I will let Fan Hao go with you to protect your safety." ”

Xiao He waved his hand: "No need, there will be no danger." ”

In fact, there is also a reason why Li Yang called Xiao He to go out of the city to talk, but not Liu Ji to come out.

First, Han Xin had been arrogantly scolding before, asking Liu Ji, a dog thief, to go out of the city and be killed, would anyone dare to come out?

The second is that Liu Ji in history really listened to Xiao He's words very much.

In fact, Liu Ji does not have any military talent, and he must ask Xiao He about everything.

Even to fight the world, most of it depends on Han Xin.

If it weren't for Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang, he Liu Ji estimated that he would have been cleaned up by Xiang Yu a few times since the Chu and Han battles.

Liu Ji's ability is to be good at social travel, known as ambitious, and has leadership skills, and can achieve it for his own interests, and the measure he can do may not be something that ordinary people can imagine and understand.

In other words, as long as you have talent, you can fulfill your ambitions with him.

Therefore, with the help of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He and others, his shortcomings were perfectly filled.

However, although Liu Ji has leadership skills and seems to be generous and tolerant, in fact, the reason why he can be generous and tolerant is for his own interests.

It is precisely because of this that after the great cause of reunification is accomplished, this kind of person can become ruthless and ruthless for the sake of his own interests.

Killing heroes and close relatives, for example, when being chased and killed by Xiang Yu, he can consider the proportion of interests in a moment, and kick his two children off the carriage, without blinking, without care, and is ruthless to the extreme.

Moreover, later unified the mountains and rivers, even if it was the two heroes who helped him grow up all the way and established the Han Dynasty, Han Xin and Xiao He were also eliminated by him without care, and the only Zhang Liang left was because Zhang Liang had his own set of strategies, Liu Bang had no way, otherwise Zhang Liang might also be eliminated by him.

In short, in Li Yang's eyes, people like Liu Ji only have their own interests in their eyes, and they are ruthless and ruthless for the sake of interests, anyway, Li Yang doesn't appreciate it. On the contrary, Li Yang prefers Xiang Yu, at least he doesn't have that deep scheming, and he talks a little about righteousness.

And in Liu Ji's body, there is really no righteousness at all, he is like a poisonous snake.

However, as long as Li Yang knows one thing, Liu Ji has no military talent, and he must listen to Xiao He in everything, and this is enough.

What's more, Xiao He is a smart person, and Li Yang likes to deal with smart people, just a little bit, and he doesn't have to bother to speak.

"My lord, he's out!"

Just when Li Yang was thinking about how to not only recruit this group of thieves, but also get rid of Liu Ji, a bad guy, and take his head to make meritorious contributions, Li You reminded loudly.

Li Yang looked up, and sure enough, at this time, the city gate opened, and a man in his forties walked out.

This person is white and pure, and his face looks extremely elegant.

Soon, Xiao He came to the front of the formation.

Seeing Li Yang in the center of the Yulin Array, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, this prime minister ...... It's so young!

Immediately, he waved his hand: "Peixian Gong Cao Xiao He, see Prime Minister Zhong." ”

Li Yang sneered: "You are already a thief, how can you still claim to be an official of my Qin Dynasty?" ”

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The prime minister is tolerant, and the lower officials have become the anti-thieves, but they were forcibly tied up, not the lower officials voluntarily." ”

Liu Ji and they were defeated, and Xiao He didn't want to be buried with them.

Moreover, he really never thought about rebellion, if it weren't for Liu Ji laying down Pei County, and he was an old friend before, Liu Ji asked him to stay and help with the strategy, he would not have gotten into this desperate road.

Li Yang took the opportunity to answer: "It doesn't matter if you are voluntary or not, since you have been with the anti-thief, you are the anti-thief." But well...... This aspect can give you a chance to atone for your sins. ”

"Prime Minister Xie, the lower officials must do their best to make meritorious contributions." Xiao He was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that his guess was correct. The opponent only had cavalry, and he was not able to attack the city at all.

Li Yang said: "Now that the famine has subsided, even the woman can see clearly the current general trend, and rebellion is a dead end." Benxiang knows that you are a smart person, and you must be able to see this general trend clearly, so Benxiang wants to ask you a word, can you make the thieves in the city surrender? ”

The meaning of Li Yang's words is that if you have the ability to make the thieves in the city surrender, you can make meritorious service for your crimes, if you can't do it, you will be useless.

Xiao He naturally knew that this was his only chance, and immediately said: "The leader of the city is named Liu Ji, and he also listens to the words of the lower officials, and the lower officials will return to the city, and they will definitely be able to move them out of the city to surrender." Just ......"

Speaking of which, Xiao He seems to have something to say.

Where would Li Yang not know, this is to talk about conditions.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Yes!" Xiao He nodded, and hurriedly said: "It's just that at this time, the anti-thieves in the city learned that the prime minister was led by iron cavalry and was unable to attack the city, and they were ready to fortify the city, so if they didn't promise the conditions, it would be difficult for the lower officials to persuade the anti-thieves." ”

Li Yang was furious, and turned around to reprimand Han Xin: "Didn't you ask Er to wait for me to march secretly, why did you still expose the news of the 30,000 iron horsemen?" ”

Han Xin immediately looked aggrieved: "The last general has ordered the army to march day and night, this ...... The last general also did not know how the enemy soldiers found out about our troops. ”

Li Yangqi whipped Han Xin's body with a whip, and scolded: "No wonder they don't go out of the city to fight, the mistake actually comes from this!" ”

Han Xin lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Li Yang snorted very angrily, and then turned his head to Xiao He and said: "As long as you can persuade them to surrender, you can accept them as the Yulin Army, reward them according to their merits, and seal the officials!" ”

Xiao He was stunned and puzzled: "Reward according to merit?" This...... Where does this work come from? ”

Li Yang said: "It is impossible for the prime minister to come here, just to accept and surrender, so how can the prime minister return to the dynasty." Therefore, if you want to make meritorious contributions, you naturally want to help Benxiang recapture Xiaxiang County. ”

"Huh? Take back Xiaxiang County! ”

Xiao He was really taken aback, Xiaxiang County is a place occupied by the Xiang family, it is said that there are 30,000 troops, and he has 10,000 people, how can he capture Xiaxiang County?

Isn't this going to die?

At this time, Li You on the side was unhappy: "Prime Minister, I came with tens of thousands of troops, why don't you put down the thieves yourself, but let these thieves make meritorious contributions, this is ...... The last general will not be convinced. ”

Li Yang snorted coldly: "What do you know, if you can fight without blood, and recapture the city, why do you need to do it yourself." ”

Xiao He on the side was speechless, like eating a fly, and was embarrassed: "Prime Minister, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, how can you take Xiaxiang County?" I don't think that's going to be possible. ”

"Don't worry, I have 30,000 iron cavalry to cooperate with you, and Xia Xiang County will be in my hands." Li Yang spoke confidently, then turned to Han Xin and said, "Han Xin, tell Xiao He about your plan." ”

"Whoa!"

Han Xin then said to Xiao He: "You first persuade the thieves in Pei County to surrender, and then let Liu Ji in the city escape from the city with 10,000 soldiers in the city, go straight to Xiaxiang County, and defect to the Xiang army." At that time, we will go to the city of Xia Xiang County to call for battle, and when they go out of the city to fight, you will fight in the city. ”

"............" Xiao He was directly stunned!

looked at the young general in front of him in amazement, and couldn't even speak.

This young general named Han Xin is estimated to be twenty years old, but he can come up with such a plan......

Xiao He was shocked, this young general is simply a rare military genius.

However, fortunately, Xiao He didn't know that Li Yang and the others only had five hundred soldiers, otherwise, he would be so shocked that he would fall to the ground.

"General Han's plan is very good, Xiao Mou has seen a lesson today. But ......" Xiao He sighed in his heart, then groaned for a while, and said, "But...... In case Xiang Liang of Xiangxian County also knew that the prime minister would come with 30,000 iron horsemen today, he would definitely not go out of the city to face the battle, if they held the city, General Han's plan would not work. ”

At this time, Li Yang said: "You can rest assured of this, I will find a way to make the enemy thieves in Xiaxiang County believe that we only have five hundred people." ”

"Oh?"

Xiao He was stunned, but he couldn't think of Li Yang for a while, what method would he use to make Xiang Liang believe that Li Yang only had 500 people, you must know that he was the prime minister, the prime minister went out to quell the chaos and only brought 500 people, which is not easy to believe.

However, since Li Yang swore so much, Xiao He didn't want to ask too much, so he immediately said: "Okay, then the lower official will go back and act according to the plan." ”

Li Yang nodded and said: "Benxiang only gives you one afternoon, if there are still thieves in the city before the sun sets, Benxiang will send someone to transfer siege equipment from Dongyang County, and it will definitely break through the city and kill them all!" ”

Xiao He nodded: "Prime Minister rest assured, before sunset, I will definitely let Liu Ji lead his troops to 'escape' out of the city and 'defect' to Xiaxiang County." ”
