Chapter Ninety-Six: Zhizun's Mind
In the Anyi City Mansion, Sima Deputy Zuo Wenyu and Xiao Zhan, the main general of the expedition to the west, looked at the same eye, and then Xiao Zhan said with a puzzled face: "What kind of trick are you playing, you actually let Xiao Zhan be defeated again and again, don't you yourself have 2,000 cavalry?" Why do you want me to lose"
What followed was Xiao Zhan's calm words: "Let you lose, you will lose"
"Xiao Zhan's first personal soldier came into battle, and you actually let me lose in a row" Xiao Zhan's eyes widened, but then, Wen Yu asked rhetorically: "Xiao Zhan, do you want a big victory or a small defeat"
Xiao Zhan then looked at the guards beside him and signaled to retreat, and then after everyone went out, Xiao Zhan looked at Sima Deputy Zuo Wenyu: "If you have something to say, say it directly"
"Han Jun Yi Shuai, do you know"
"What? Han Shin was replaced? ”
"Hmm"
"Is it a change of command or a weakening of power?"
"Now the commander of the Han Army's Eastern Crusade is Zhang Liang"
"Zhang Liang? Could it be the so-called think tank Zhang Liang? ”
Then, Xiao Zhan turned around in place and stared at Wen Yu with both eyes: "What's next?" ”
"Why don't you contradict me?" Wen Yu said, but at this time, Xiao Zhan endured his excitement and said: "Han Xin's ability is worth a million male divisions, and now that Han Xin is replaced by Zhang Liang, then on the road of our westward expedition, our Chu army will have one less stumbling block" Xiao Zhan said at this time.
But then, Xiao Zhan asked with an inquiring attitude: "What should I do next?"
"Now Han Xin's departure from the handsome position is only temporary, but if you want to let Han Xin leave completely, and you need to lose again" Wen Yu's meaning is very clear, and Xiao Zhan said: "You want us to stabilize Zhang Liang's position, and then force Han Xin away, and then our army will go west"
"Hmm"
Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment: "How many troops are needed?"
"50,000"
"Fifty thousand?" Xiao Zhan was puzzled: "We have a total of 50,000, is it worth it to consume all?" ”
"You understand, Han Xin alone has topped a million heroes, and tens of thousands of people have been exchanged for Han Xin, don't you think it's worth it?" After Wen Yu spoke, Xiao Zhan bowed his head and said silently, and then thought for a moment and said: "If you let Han Xin leave the handsome position, this is a big loss for the Western Han Dynasty, what is my Xiao Zhan, just a martial artist, if I can exchange Xiao Zhan for Han Xin and open the way for Western Chu to go west, I am willing to exchange personal honor for a big victory."
"Okay, General Xiao's patriotic enthusiasm, Wen Yu will fulfill you"
"Hmm"
"Continue to lose, divide it into ten waves, 5,000 elite soldiers each time, give me Wenyu to consume" Sima Deputy Zuo Wenyu's meaning is very clear, that is to say, he and Xiao Zhan share honor and disgrace.
"Lord Wen, is that really the case?"
"Well, now that I have created a reputation in Xiliang as an immortal, I can say it all over Xiliang, and now let him Liu Bang's reputation be good, the prophecy of the immortal says that the overlord of Xichu is here to save everyone, who can not believe it?" Wen Yu actually lurked in the city, and sent all kinds of bandits to respond, and created a lot of people to worship him, just so that when the army was in the west, all the people could support it, so that it would be easier for the West Chu to go west and soothe the hearts of the people.
"Master Wen looks at things comprehensively, Xiao Zhan is deeply admired, he has offended a lot before, and he hopes to be worshiped by Xiao Zhan" At this time, Xiao Zhan's meaning is obvious, that is, Xiao Zhan is ready to fight with Wen Yu.
Wenwu is single-minded, this is also the result that Xiang Yu wanted to see at first, why Xiang Yu did not send Long and other marshals to the west at this time, the reason is that Xiang Yu is ready to let Wen Yu and Xiao Zhan fight together.
On the other side, Xiang Yu's eyes widened, and he angrily reprimanded the second general: "You are the opposite"
Zhong Liwu and Yu Ziqi knelt on the ground, and then the king of Qi visited Xiang Yu: "Don't be alarmed by the king of Qi, my retainers in Western Chu don't listen to the command, this king will be angry with them, please take a break from the king of Qi, and then go back and conspire with the king of Qi to discuss the world."
"Overlord, this king has something to understand"
"King Qi, please speak"
"The two generals are dedicated to Xichu, and there are ever-changing rules on the battlefield, and the generals fight flexibly, which should be a blessing for the overlord, but why should they blame the heroes?" After the king of Qi spoke, the overlord explained: "The minister did not listen to the king's plan and changed the king's order without authorization, and according to the rules, he should be beheaded."
"King, if you want to kill me, can you let the sin general do this after the Yan is gone?" Hearing this, the overlord pondered, and then reprimanded angrily: "Attacking the Qi State is still like this, and the expedition to Northern Yan, do you have the ability to take it?" ”
In fact, as we all know, Yan and Qi have always been incompatible, at this time, hearing that Xiang Yu is going to attack Yan State, in fact, King Qi is very happy, the current Qi State has been beaten by Western Chu, if Western Chu can transfer troops to weaken the strength of Yan State, let alone make way to attack Yan State, even if it is to call Qi State soldiers and baggage, it is worth it, first, to give Yu Ziqi a favor, so as to get closer to Western Chu, and second, to prevent the Yan army from going south to defend Qi, such a full range of opportunities, King Qi will naturally seize it.
Of course, this is not all, the King of Qi is still thinking in his heart: "If Western Chu borrows from me, the ministers of the court and the central government can also completely change blood, so that my Eastern Qi State can rise substantially"
"Overlord, I, the State of Qi, am willing to lend troops and baggage to General Yu Ziqi free of charge, and attack the Yan State on behalf of Western Chu" After King Qi's words, the overlord changed his attitude, and then puzzled: "Why?" King Qi is not too polite"
"No, overlord, don't you know, General Yu is benevolent and righteous, when my country was in trouble, he also let me hold a national funeral to send my loyal ministers, and then did not offend the people of my Qi country, neither paid food, nor bullied my people, of course such a benevolent and righteous teacher of my Qi country will go all out to support it" The overlord said differently after hearing this: "Oh? Is this really the case? ”
"Great King, what King Qi said is indeed true, there is no falsehood" Zhong Li said ambiguously.
"Yu Zi period, this king Nian has been loyal to my Xichu for many years, let me spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is inevitable, the battle of fifty weakens the title, and is the temporary deputy general of Yan, helping Zhong Lifu to enter the Yan country north, if it is not for the intercession of the king of Qi, today the king will govern you" After the overlord's words, Yu Ziqi was grateful, and the king of Qi was also very happy, because at the moment, in order to use the strength of the Qi country, the overlord will definitely not offend the king of Qi, so that the two countries are reconciled.
So at this time, for the king of Qi or the overlord, the relationship between the two countries is good for everyone, in the west, Liu Bang has annexed Sanqin, the alliance of South Vietnam, the north invaded Xiliang, and now the Central Plains in addition to Han, Yan, Zhao, and Dai basically formed a great confrontation between Chu and Han, and at present, the most important battle is concentrated in Anyi City, that is to say, the direction of fate after that is concentrated in the hands of Zhang Liang and Wen Yu.
In the county city, Liu Bang was very happy, I heard that Zhang Liang won again and again, Liu Bang was happy and never stopped, after the court meeting, Liu Bang still greatly praised Zhang Liang's ability, and at this time, Liu Bang's backyard, Xiao He visited.
"Brother Xiao, you're here, do you want to know how this king rewarded Zhang Liang?" At this moment, Xiao He kept a straight face, and then said: "You can hide it from anyone, and can you hide it from me?"
The word "haha" popped up, and Liu Bang had tears in his eyes: "You don't know Brother Xiao, I'm gambling on my life, and I'm also gambling on the lives of the soldiers of the three armies" Liu Bang is only afraid that he can only talk to Xiao He at the moment.
"Does Han Shin know?"
"He Should Be Able to Understand the King's Heart"
"King, why don't you secretly write to Han Xin"
"No, the world is so big that there is no impermeable wall"
"Why do you want to?"
Liu Bang said: "Brother Xiao, you don't know, we don't know Zhang Liang's ability, if you are a partial general, you can still win locally, but as the commander, the battle of Zhang Liang's large army is actually just to paralyze the enemy army, and let Han Xin temporarily calm down, in order to retain new strength, but now that Zhang Liang has won a big victory, I am afraid that the enemy army is luring the enemy deeper, we don't know how many times the enemy will let our army win, but ......"
At this moment, Liu Bang's meaning Xiao He knew it, it turned out that Liu Bang felt that if Zhang Liang was replaced, the enemy army would pretend to be false and defeated again and again, so that the Western Han army could easily win, and then change the commander Han Xin, give the enemy a fatal blow, and capture Anyi all the way east, but at the moment, he didn't know when the enemy could let it, and he didn't know when the enemy would turn his face, let alone understand whether Han Xin understood Liu Bang's intentions.
The messenger brought a flying pigeon, and the letter Liu Bang looked at it, and after a while, Liu Bang was surprised, and then gave Yu Xiao He a package.
Xiao He frowned, looked at Liu Bang, and the two shook their heads: "It seems that Han Xin's thoughts of the king are still incomprehensible, and now Han Xin has resigned from his official position and told the old man."
"Hey, hurry up and write a letter to Zhang Liang, postpone the march, and say that the baggage has not been mobilized, don't miss the military aircraft major event" Liu Bang said.
Xiao He asked again: "What do you say?" ”
Liu Bang thought about it, and then sighed and said: "Hey, let's just say that the new Situ Hanxin, if he doesn't do it, he won't be able to supply grain and grass in the short term."
When he was young, the flying pigeon passed the book to Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang was furious: "Han Xin! You...... You want to be angry with Ben Shuai, you actually let my three armies mess up at this time, you Han Xin" At the moment when Zhang Liang was angry, Deputy General Zong Cheng immediately asked: "Then Zhang Shuai, what should we do next?" ”
"There is no food and grass, only waiting," Zhang Liang sighed......
Under Wen Yu's account, Xiao Zhan on the side was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Then Sima Deputy Zuo Wenyu said: "Everything has been arranged, just wait for Zhang Liang's army to enter, it will definitely wipe out their 80,000 army, and then our Western Chu army can drive directly to Xianyang City, all the way unimpeded, I have lost so many battles, just for this final blow, but I can't think of ......"
Xiao Zhan was puzzled: "What? ”
"Han Xin is now in charge of baggage, but he dismissed the official, causing Zhang Liang to be unable to march," Wen Yu said.
It turned out that after the two reconciled, the civil and military were concentric, and Liu Bang continued to reward Zhang Liang, but he didn't trust Han Xin at all, and the successive defeats had completely paralyzed Zhang Liang, and it was just when the final blow was blowing, but Han Xin was gone......
"The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and the army did not move Han Xin first, haha, happy also" Han Xin muttered to himself, and Pei Yuanhu, Chen Chi, Xu Mao, Wen Fu, Kuai Tong, Pang Chang, Xiao Xiao and others on the side accompanied him.
Kuai Tong said: "This is not good, Han Shuai"
"What's wrong?"
Kuaitong prompted: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, where can you escape?" ”
"Are you referring to Liu Bang or Xiang Yu?"
Kuaitong was silent for a while, and Han Xin replied with a smile: "Yes, there are too many kings now, where to find us, it is better to be chic for a while, and then consider whether to go back."
"Han Shuai, now that the war is in a hurry, aren't you afraid that Chu and Han will be unbalanced?" Kuaitong's doubts seemed to be superfluous, of course, in Han Xin's eyes: "Now the plot of the Western Chu army is not Xiao Zhan, it should be a person from the Sima faction who has been pretending to be snubbed by the overlord, using strategy to force me away, and then lead Zhang Liang to defeat"
"Huh?" Kuaitong and everyone were dumbfounded, and then Han Xin said: "Liu Bang hopes to take advantage of the opportunity again and again, and then return me to give the enemy a fatal blow."
Everyone listened to Han Xin's story, Han Xin calmly picked up a piece of grass, the breeze blew, and then said: "It's not them who fight or not, it's in me Han Xin."
