Chapter 271: Pro-Expedition Again (Second Update, 4000 Words)
In his previous life, he knew about the Chu-Han War, that is, it took four years to finish, and now, although it is Xiang Yu on the surface, Yinggao always has a premonition in his heart, that is, Liu Bang is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Don't look at him as a vanguard under Xiang Yu now, but if he doesn't kill him sooner, no one can say what will happen in the future.
Xiao He looked at Yinggao This was obviously another thoughtful decision, and he understood at the moment that there was no need to persuade again, and it was useless to persuade again.
"Your Majesty, I just don't know who you want to lead this time to go to this personal expedition?"
Ying Gao pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao He again, and said slowly: "There are many generals in Xianyang City, but it is enough, but between you and Meng Yi, I want to leave others in Xianyang to preside over the overall situation, and the other person will go to Chen County with me, do you think, who stays, who goes?" ”
This question, Xiao He didn't expect Ying Gao to ask himself directly, of course he knew that once Ying Gao went to Chen County, then Feng Quji, a big man who stayed in Xianyang City, was one.
However, due to various historical reasons, although Feng Quji has always firmly occupied the position of the right minister, the real power is still quite different from Meng Yi, and Ying Gao did not suppress Meng Yi after becoming the emperor of the Great Qin, but was named a lieutenant, so Meng Yi's current status in the court is above 10,000 people under one person, and the officials in the Great Qin court are all convinced of him.
But to take it a step further, since Yinggao really controlled Daqin's court, the few most secret things are still in the hands of Zuo Xiang Xiao He, Xiao He is almost responsible for Yinggao alone except for the little things that Zuo Xiang needs to do.
After all, Meng Yi also knew in his heart that he could do this Tai Lieutenant, it was all an unexpected joy for himself, he couldn't ask for too much, otherwise he would have to say that the things in his hand would be gone.
If this is according to Yinggao's habits in the past, it must be Xiao He's duty to act as a military advisor, but Xiao He also knows that since Yinggao asked so, then he actually wanted Meng Yi to follow him, and asked himself, maybe just to see if he could be a good role as a mainstay in Xianyang City.
After all, the crisis in the north has not been resolved, once the Xiongnu have any sudden movements, for Meng Tian, who is guarding in Shangjun, Xiao He is in charge of the overall situation in Xianyang, it will definitely not be his own brother Meng Yi to connect here.
"If Admiral He stays in Xianyang City, He will definitely not disappoint Youshang!"
Obviously, as a party to this matter, he can't give Yinggao any advice, although according to the current situation, Xiao He also knows that Yinggao trusts him and the Zhu family the most, but the big thing is not what he is good at, nor is it what he wants to do.
"Okay, with your words, I know in my heart, tomorrow in the court, just act according to my arrangement, this expedition, don't be ...... like last time"
"Your Majesty, according to General Wang Li's letter, in the past half a year, our army has not built a single warship, so if Xiang Yu escapes back to Jiangdong this time, we are still helpless, and the king can't personally supervise the construction of warships by the river, these matters should be considered before the king goes."
What is the meaning of loyalty, isn't this the same as loyalty?
The meaning of Xiao He's words is very clear, that is, don't be carried away by this news, and then go there with great fanfare, people will pat their butts and go back to Jiangdong, and then you can only be in a hurry on the shore, and then your face as the Great Qin Emperor will be lost.
For such words, Yinggao will not be angry, the reason why he keeps a thoughtful and quick response person like Xiao He by his side is because once it is really like what Xiao He said, his heels will be planted, if there is a reminder from Xiao He in everything, Yinggao can also spur himself all the time, so that he can become a good emperor who can leave a name in history, right?
"It's okay, I've already made arrangements for this matter, and it won't be an obstacle to the capture of Xiang Yu this time."
Seeing that Yinggao's thinking was already as impeccable as before, Xiao He nodded secretly, he knew that as Yinggao's control over Daqin became stronger and stronger, he couldn't always hide by Yinggao's side and do things behind the scenes.
Feng Quji's age is getting older and older, and within a few years, he will have to give up the position of the right minister, Xiao He can see that Yinggao wants to make himself the sole prime minister of the Great Qin Empire when Great Qin is really in a peaceful and prosperous era, and the heavy responsibility of governing Great Qin will ultimately fall on his own body to carry out.
So this time, if Yinggao wants to transfer Meng Yi, who has always been the mainstay in Xianyang Palace, he must be consciously exercising himself.
Since he is no longer among the members of this expedition, Xiao He knows that Yinggao will not tell him too much about his plans for this battle, and his focus should be shifted to Daqin's court, after all, without Yinggao in charge, it will not be easy to handle all the affairs of Daqin.
After Xiao He left, Yinggao was not idle for a moment, and wrote a letter directly with a pen, and then carefully packed it and handed it to the Zhu family, telling the Zhu family to send a loyal guard without the slightest problem to deliver the letter.
Yinggao's Xianyang Palace is quite a bit of a chicken, flying and dog-jumping, it was occupied by Wang Li for many days before, and now it has finally returned to Shouchun City in the hands of Xiang Yu, which is still very lively.
According to the arrangements and plans of Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang in the past few months, Xiang Yu almost did not spend many soldiers and horses to defeat Wang Li, and killed 50,000 elite soldiers of Great Qin, and the Qin soldiers who died under Xiang Yu's soldiers were still very many, and this battle can be said to be the most hearty battle fought by Xiang Yu.
After capturing Shouchun, Xiang Yu was still very ambitious, and on the day of defeating Shouchun, he had already set his sights on Chen County, which was not far from Shouchun.
But Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang rejected Xiang Yu's idea in unison, and they told Xiang Yu that the reason why Wang Li's 50,000 army was completely defeated with not very dominant forces this time was the result of several months of arrangement that Wang Li had divided his troops and had already been paralyzed.
And now that they have just captured Shouchun, and Wang Li has also fled to Chen County, this time is the time when Chen County's guards are the strongest, even if they barely beat Chen County, it is enough to hold it.
Xiang Yu could still listen to this reasoning, so he did not rush forward, but recruited troops in Shouchun and other large areas of Jiujiang County, intending to expand his power.
On this day, Xiang Yu was still discussing their next plan with Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, obviously, when it came to Shouchun again, the situation they faced was different from the army led by Xiang Liang before.
If you advance like Xiang Liang, the battle line is too long and the troops are insufficient, and the final result can only be defeated by Yinggao again, in that case, it will be very difficult to make a comeback.
Faced with such a situation, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang were also very hesitant in their hearts, both of them were actually not afraid of taking risks, but they also knew that Yinggao would not give them too long to prepare this time, once Xianyang City learned the news that Wang Li's general was wiped out, he would definitely take action, this point, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang both knew very well in their hearts.
While the servants were analyzing the pros and cons of various methods, a guard of Xiang Yu quietly entered the house, obviously there was something urgent to report, looked at Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, and cast an inquiring look at Xiang Yu.
"There are only three people here, all of whom I trust the most, what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I don't know when last night, Liu Bang, who was previously settled in the pioneer camp by the major general, and a group of people under his command somehow, actually took away nearly 8,000 sergeants in the pioneer camp......
"Liu Bang? How dare this guy go behind my back, and kidnap and take away 8,000 soldiers of our army? ”
Obviously, Xiang Yu's first reaction to this news was a little incredulous. What kind of character is Liu Bang, it is just a master who only cares about comfort and pleasure, and spends all day drinking in the county with his group of brothers, if he wants to say that he ran away with the eight thousand soldiers under his command, Xiang Yu naturally doesn't believe it in his heart, no matter where you run, can you find another place that is more comfortable than in Huiji County?
"Exactly, and this person should have been premeditated, last night the river was full of fog, and the military camp where the pioneers were located was also affected by the fog, and the vision was extremely bad.
"This guy! It's really too deceitful, if you teach me to catch this guy again, I won't be spared! ”
finally won a battle without much cost, Liu Bang gave himself such a sudden behind his back, Xiang Yu was really quite aggrieved, and said in his heart I take you as a brother and let you enjoy life on my territory, you guys actually gave me this set?
After hearing this, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang glanced at each other, although there was a certain amount of shock on their faces, but it was obvious that their expressions were not as exaggerated as Xiang Yu, and they both had a little bit of a look of sudden realization.
"The young general is angry, judging from the current situation, Liu Bang's escape was not a temporary intention, I am afraid that since the day he participated in the Naxue County Alliance, he has such an idea in his heart......"
Zhang Liang sighed, looked at Xiang Yu, and said slowly. Fan Zeng also nodded again and again when he heard this, and the thoughts in his heart were really similar to what Zhang Liang said.
If it weren't for Liu Bang's escape today, they would really all regard him as a little leader who is not young and just wants to follow the anti-Qin forces to eat and drink.
But now that Liu Bang has run away, not only took away all the brothers from Pei County who followed him, but also took away a full 8,000 people, if he really wanted to enjoy himself under Xiang Yu's command all the time, he really had no reason to run when Xiang Yu's situation was very good now.
And what kind of situation is this, it was Xiang Yu who followed the advice of Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang and brought all the leaders of small forces like Liu Bang out of Jiangdong, and the so-called pioneer battalion was nothing more than the death squad that Xiang Yu used to charge into battle, and Liu Bang and the brothers he brought out from Pei County were also arranged by Xiang Yu to be generals in the pioneer camp.
In this battle with Wang Li, with this pioneer battalion, those Jiangdong disciples under Xiang Yu's own command really didn't lose much, and the pioneer battalion basically bore all the losses.
Originally, Xiang Yu's heart was quite happy with such an effect, but this time Liu Bang directly took away eight thousand, and there were less than ten thousand left in the pioneer camp, and it would not play such a big role in the next battle.
"This guy...... Is it really a scheming person? But at this time, the Qin soldiers' power was already huge, with only 8,000 people, what tricks could he pull out on this huge Central Plains? ”
Xiang Yu thought about what Liu Bang had done before and after, and found that Liu Bang was indeed too scheming, if he hadn't abducted his 8,000 people, wouldn't he have paralyzed himself a long time ago?
"Most of this guy's mind is lurking in Huiji County, secretly observing the power of the young general in Huiji County, if there is a negligence of the young general one day, this guy's plan is very big. Fortunately, this time the major general made him charge into the vanguard camp, and this guy probably realized that I would not give him a good opportunity in the future, so he decided to make a decision, and rebelled against 8,000 sergeants, and he didn't know where he went alone. ”
Although Fan Zeng didn't say it directly, in his opinion, Liu Bang's original ultimate goal was to replace Xiang Yu's position in Huiji County, but he found that Xiang Yu was not as young and reckless as he looked, so he had to change his strategy to such a strategy.
Fan Zeng saw that Xiang Yu was indeed in deep thought after listening to his words, and knew that he had put away his contempt for Liu Bang.
So he continued: "Liu Bang, this person, now it seems that he should be a person of great wisdom, this person will be a friend or foe in the future, if the young general gets the opportunity again, he will definitely be killed, otherwise the disaster will be endless......"
