However, it was said that after Sun Ce decided to fall to Liu Bang, he wrote a letter of surrender and sent it to Chang'an.

After Liu Bang read the letter, he laughed, and then called Chen Ping and Xiao He to discuss countermeasures.

After Xiao He and Chen Ping read Sun Ce's letter, they also smiled and said: "Traitors also like to live secretly, hahahaha." ”

Liu Bang smiled and said, "Well, what do you think about this?" ”

"King, according to the minister's opinion, Sun Ce is just a traitor, and his surrender at this time is just to resist Xiang Yu. It's going to rebel again, so it's better to fend for itself!"

It was Chen Ping, who had been sprinkled with blood in the Golden Dragon Hall before, and after half a year of recovery, he was already the same as before.

Liu Bang nodded, and then asked Xiao He on the side, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "What Lord Chen said does not dare to agree. In the minister's opinion, although Sun Ce is trying to resist Xiang Yu with the power of our dynasty, the emperor can still accept the intention of surrendering and send troops to help!"

When Liu Bang heard this, he frowned and said, "What does Aiqing mean?" Please also indicate. ”

When Xiao He heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to show your name, please listen to the ministers slowly."

In Chen's view, there are two reasons for accepting Sun Ce's rebel army.

Now, the emperor's throne has just fallen, and there are many rebels in the world who are not convinced, and there are also the relics of the tyrannical Qin and the pseudo-Chu established by Xiang Yu.

That Sun Ce was entrenched in Changsha and Jiangdong very close, and the reason why Xiang Yu started this crusade was just to expand his power and prepare for his return to the Central Plains in the future.

If the emperor does not agree to Sun Ce's submission this time, then Sun Ce is very likely to surrender Xiang Yu in order to survive and give up Changsha!

In this way, Xiang Yu can be said to occupy Changsha without spending a single soldier, pointing directly at Jianshui! When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with Xiang Yu!

Therefore, the emperor might as well agree to Sun Ce's submission first, and borrow Sun Ce's hand to curb the expansion of Xiang Yu's power. As long as Sun Ce keeps it for a while, he will definitely not settle down in the future, and then the emperor will find another excuse to destroy him!

At that time, it will no longer be difficult to attack Xiang Yu again, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? ”

When Liu Bang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and praised Xiao He Zhizhi again and again, and Chen Ping applauded again and again after hearing it.

"Xiao Aiqing's plan is very good! Aiqing thinks that it is better to send someone to support Sun Ce to resist Xiang Yu? Liu Bang asked again.

At this time, Xiao He said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the closest people to Sun Ce are Liu Bei and Cao Cao!"

As far as the minister knew, Liu Bei and Sun Ce had friction, so why didn't the emperor repair a letter to let the two families temporarily release their previous suspicions, and ordered Liu Bei to support Sun Ce to suppress Xiang Yu.

Although Cao Cao was disloyal, his eldest son died at the hands of Zhao Yun, a general under Xiang Yu, and was defeated by Xiang Yu three times. can be described as hating Xiang Yu to the core.

Therefore, the minister concluded that it was impossible for Cao Cao to sit idly by and watch when Xiang Yu sent troops to attack Sun Ce! The emperor can order him to send troops to fight against Xiang Yu, so that his division can be famous.

In addition, the emperor can also order the king of Qi to send troops to fight against Xiang Yu and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. In this way, it can be described as killing three birds with one stone! It not only weakens the strength of the princes, but also balances Xiang Yu, and the emperor can concentrate on replacing the land with troops!"

Chen Ping couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Xiao He's plan. And Liu Bang was also very surprised by Xiao He's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and an unprecedented smile appeared on his face.

As everyone knows, Xiang Yu has already prepared and has a perfect plan!

…………

In Padang County, Liu Guanzhang and the others received the holy decree of thanksgiving.

"Damn, the emperor actually asked us to support Sun Ce's birdman!" After the envoy left, Zhang Fei immediately scolded.

"Third brother!" Seeing Zhang Fei like this, Liu Bei immediately opened his mouth and scolded.

"Humph! Anyway, I'm not going! This kid is so shameless! He grabbed the land with us before, but now he is obedient, and he actually asked us to help him defend the territory, which is really hateful!" Zhang Fei turned a blind eye to Liu Bei's reprimand, and said indignantly again.

"Enough! Yide! What is our territory? Eat the king's lu, relieve your worries! It was indeed wrong for Sun Ce to attack us in front, but now he has returned to the imperial court! Then everyone is a colleague, don't worry about the past!"

Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was really angry, so he closed his mouth.

Liu Bei sighed, turned his eyes to Guan Yu on the side and said, "What does the second brother think about this matter?" ”

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "The younger brother is all demolished by the eldest brother." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, the second brother is a reasonable person!" I'm going to order someone to write a letter at the given side, and let them come back and conspire with each other!"

Liu Bei said, but he sneered in his heart. But the words have been spoken, and he has to continue to play the identity of a loyal minister.

In less than half a day, Zhang Dingbian, who got Liu Bei's letter, had already rushed back from the front line of Jianshui.

。 When he learned that he was going to send troops to help Sun Ce, he was also a little angry. After all, after nearly three months of fighting, Zhang Dingbian witnessed those brothers in his army fall in pieces under the rain of arrows from the rebels. Now that he wants to send troops to help them, Zhang Dingbian is naturally a little difficult to accept for a while.

Liu Bei saw that everyone had gathered, and he stopped talking nonsense, even if he told everyone what he thought.

Although Zhang Fei and Zhang Dingbian had a lot of words before, they still didn't dare to be disobedient to Liu Bei's words.

"The army opened Dongting three days later, and this time to support Sun Ce is the emperor's personal edict, hoping that you can release your past suspicions and complete the emperor's order!" In the end, Liu Bei encouraged everyone.

…………

Changsha County, Yucheng in the southwest, the sound of killing at this moment shook the sky and resounded through the sky.

"Quick! Fast! The Chu army is up! Hurry up and release the arrows!" At this time, the general defending the city was loudly supervising the battle at the head of the city.

"That's it! Let the brothers push the fénwēn up and break down the gates!" Xiang Yu saw that the time had come, and immediately ordered the chariot to attack the city.

"Kill!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers went straight to the city gate.

"Tiger Legion! Charge with me! Thou shalt not slaughter the people after entering the city!"

Gao Hu got Xiang Yu's military order, and immediately led people to turn over and get on horseback, and more than 1,000 cavalry rushed straight to the city gate.

The Tiger Legion is like an eagle on the battlefield, swift and focused.

Before the enemy troops on the tower could fire their arrows, they had already rushed through the moat. At this time, the seemingly huge gate of Yucheng was as precarious as duckweed under the onslaught of the Chu army.

With a loud bang, the city gate was slammed open by the Chu army, and Xiang Yu and the Tiger Army rushed straight into the city. Before the enemy army in the city cave could react, it had been smashed by the Tiger Legion, and it was dizzy.

Half an hour later, the Chu army completely controlled Yucheng, and the enemy generals in the city also died in the chaos.

After entering the city, Xiang Yu immediately ordered people to post a notice not to disturb the people in the city, and ordered the army to continue the march after having lunch here.
