In early October 206 B.C., the palace of the Han king in Nanzheng, the main civil and military officials of the Han State gathered here.

King Han has not yet arrived, everyone is waiting here.

Because yesterday Liu Bang announced that today he is here to discuss the matter of sending troops to Guanzhong, but how to kill Guanzhong? Only Deng Yulong and Xiao He knew, and everyone else was in a mood of hard anticipation.

Fan Xu, who was a little anxious, couldn't help it at first, and asked, "General, how to fight Guanzhong, can you talk about it now?" If you don't have this ability, you shouldn't sit in the position of a general. ”

Deng Yulong said with a smile: "General Fan, you don't have to suffer this kind of torment anymore, it's time to get out of Guanzhong." ”

How to do it, this will have to wait for the master to arrive to uncover the mystery.

Cao Shen said: "The plank road has not been repaired yet, and the last general wants to ask the general, where do you want to get out of Guanzhong?" ”

Xiao He said: "The way to get out of the customs, the general has already had a plan. ”

At this time, I saw Liu Bang walking in through the back door.

"Meet the King of Han..."

All the officials knelt down in unison.

"All the ministers are flat!"

Liu Bang faced everyone and said loudly: "Generals, I believe that everyone has been aggrieved for a long time, and the widow officially announced that our Han army began to send troops to Guanzhong. ”

Zhou Bo said: "King, the plank road has not been repaired yet, which route should we send troops from?" ”

Liu Bang said: "Regarding the route of sending troops, when Guanzhong went south to Hanzhong, the general offered advice to the widow, and the widow and the general and Xiao Cheng had already discussed it at some time, and the general would tell everyone. ”

Deng Yulong turned to face everyone and said: "In the northwest of Hanzhong, there is an unknown ancient road, called Chencang Road, we are planning to send troops from Chencang Road, first raid Dasanguan, and then capture Chencang City, and then wave the army into the pass. ”

When the generals heard this, they all looked happy and were amazed at this plan.

Soon, someone was dissatisfied.

Fan Hao said loudly: "General, why didn't you tell me earlier, let me build the plank road, my old Fan is afraid of heights, and I am worried all day long, aren't you deliberately teasing me?" ”

Liu Bang and Xiao He both laughed, after holding back for so long, they could finally send troops, the original strategy no longer needed to be kept secret, and both of them were in a much lighter mood.

Deng Yulong didn't answer directly, and said to the generals: "Can anyone say why?" ”

The civil officials and military generals present, you look at me, I look at you, no one can come up with a reason for a while.

In Liu Bang's original generals, Cao Shen is the most capable, in the original history, Xiao He died by Cao Shen to take over the position of prime minister, his ability to manage internal affairs naturally can not be compared with Xiao He, the original Xiao He set the rules, he will continue to implement, only then there is the idiom "Xiao Gui Cao Sui".

In the end, it was Cao Shen who spoke.

"The last general thinks that the construction of the plank road is for Zhang Han to see, attracting him to deploy the main force on the front line of the Baochuan Road, and the troops on the side of Chencang and Dasanguan are empty, so we can just send troops from Chencang Road to sneak attack, a good plan to attack the east and the west."

After Cao Shen said this, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the general said with certainty yesterday that he was sure.

Deng Yulong said: "That's right, King Han, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and I, for the sake of secrecy, didn't tell anyone their true intentions in advance. Now, the time has come for us to be ashamed. ”

At this time, Fan Xu's eyes were a little different when he looked at Deng Yulong, and said: "General, this strategy sounds very good, but it doesn't work, you don't know until you fight, as long as you can successfully win Guanzhong, my old Fan will really obey you, and I will definitely make amends to you when the time comes." ”

Deng Yulong said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to capture Guanzhong, there are many tough battles to be fought, and you General Fan are indispensable to charge into battle." ”

Fan Hao patted his chest and said: "What my old Fan is afraid of is that there is no battle to fight and defeat the battle, the hardest battle, the general just let me go." ”

In the past, many generals were not satisfied with Deng Yulong, and they were so aggrieved here, they were not in a good mood when they went to court in the past.

Now, he can finally fight, the original depression has been swept away, whether he wins or loses, at least he can fight with dignity, plus Deng Yulong's training ability and strategy have been recognized by everyone, even if the generals are not completely convinced, at least the resistance has been reduced a lot.

Many people laughed when Fan spoke straightforwardly, making the atmosphere lighter.

Liu Bangdao: "Since it is time to send troops, the widow has given the general the right to transfer troops, and he is fully responsible for the war in Guanzhong, and 90,000 soldiers are dispatched by the general. ”

With that, he took out the other half of the tiger talisman from his sleeve, walked down the steps to Deng Yulong, and handed the tiger talisman out.

Deng Yulong took it respectfully, and it was in line with the other half of the tiger that was originally in his hands, accurately, and there was almost no gap.

"King Xie Han trusts, the minister will definitely lead the army to take Guanzhong!"

"General, the widow's ugly words are ahead, if you fail, the widow wants your head!"

When Liu Bang said this, his face was expressionless, and it was really unpredictable.

Deng Yulong first made a sincere and fearful look, and then said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured that King Han, the minister will definitely succeed." ”

Whether it is Liu Bang or Deng Yulong, there is no way to retreat at all, in case of failure, even if Liu Bang does not kill Deng Yulong, Xiang Yu will definitely not let go of those who dare to rebel against him, it is a dead end.

Deng Yulong turned around again, raised the tiger talisman high with his right hand, and said loudly: "This general is ordered by the King of Han to lead all the generals and the Han army to the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong. ”

When his voice stopped, the hall was silent, so quiet that it could be heard, and the generals were waiting for the general's orders.

Deng Yulong put down his right hand that was holding the tiger talisman high, and said loudly: "Infant, Li Shang!" ”

"The last general!"

Guan Ying and Li Shang came out of the queue together, and faced Deng Yulong.

"Chencang Road has been abandoned for decades, the original road is full of thorns, and it has long been a road, I will allocate 10,000 soldiers to you, bring suitable tools, and cut through thorns and thorns to open the way for the advancing army."

"Nuo" irrigated babies and Li Shang all received orders.

"Xi Juan, Worm Da!"

"The last general!"

"I will assign 6,000 soldiers to you, and I will be responsible for escorting grain and grass."

"No"

"The rest of the generals and soldiers, follow me on the journey. The generals went back and got ready, and the army set out in three days. ”

After the order was completed, the civil and military officials dispersed first, leaving Liu Bang, Deng Yulong, and Xiao He.
