In the face of this kind of major event, Tang Ning naturally wanted to summon Zhang Er, Chen Yu and other important ministers to discuss, only to see Kuai Tong speak first: "The general doesn't need to panic for the time being, although Han Xin on the west road is now defeated by Zhang Han's army, although he is defeated along the way, as long as he chooses a strong city, he will definitely be able to spend a period of time with Zhang Han, which gives us sufficient time to prepare and plan." ”

For Han Xin's ability, Tang Ning absolutely trusted, and although Wu Guang's ability to fight is not very strong, his ability to govern the army is not bad, and the level of the Western Route Army is still okay under his training.

But the problem is that it doesn't make sense to consume it like this, so Tang Ning continued to ask: "Even if Han Duwei can drag it out for a while, what about after that?" What is the best plan for you? ”

Kuaitong pondered for a while, and then replied: "Well, it's really not good, let's withdraw to Handan, where Ge Duwei has already laid down more than 30 cities, and the walls of Handan are high and the city is deep, and the strategic depth is large enough, even if Zhang Han fights city by city, it will be enough for him to fight for a few months." ”

Before Tang Ning could answer, Zhang Er shook his head on the side and said: "This is the next policy, our country is called Da Chu, if we withdraw to Handan, then what is it called Da Chu?" Forget it to Da Zhao. And although Zhao Di has many cities, it is too easy to take, these people can easily surrender to us, and they can easily surrender to Zhang Han, so I can't hold on for so long. ”

"How could they surrender to Zhang Han so easily? It's not that you don't know the laws of Great Qin, these officials who have a history of surrender will definitely be exterminated afterwards, so they will definitely resist desperately! Kuaitong defended unconvinced.

"Even then, it's just a procrastination, not the best policy." Zhang Er waved his hand and replied disappreciatively.

"And what is your best policy?" Kuaitong asked with a displeased face.

Zhang Er replied proudly: "I really have two countermeasures. First, some time ago, I was ordered by General Chen to recruit talents and contact the rebels from all over the country, in my own eyes, at present, what can confront Zhang Han's army is Jiangdong Xiang Liang's team, especially his nephew Xiang Yu, that is really a hundred people unstoppable, and the Chu army under his command are all extremely elite, should be enough to fight against Zhang Han, if we can invite Xiang Yu's army to come to support, I think our crisis can be solved. ”

Tang Ning has absolutely no doubts about the ability of the Overlord of Western Chu, but the question is why do people give you so much work? So he nodded and agreed: "In this regard, I can ask the king to issue an order and order Xiang Yu to bring troops to help, but it is difficult to say how much it can help." What is the other countermeasure? ”

At this time, Zhang Er glanced at Kuaitong and said with some ill intentions: "This is another countermeasure, you have to trouble Mr. Kuai!" ”

"Huh? Trouble me? What do you mean? Kuaitong asked puzzled.

"As far as I know, although Zhang Han is brave in leading troops, he doesn't know how to be flexible, so his official luck has not been very good. And now that the traitors of the Great Qin court are in charge, even such ugly things as pointing deer as horses can happen, so as long as we are willing to spend a lot of money and invite Mr. Kuai to go to Xianyang to show our strengths, I think we will definitely be able to move Zhao Gao, change the generals in the battle, and even change the offensive target, so that our crisis will be solved? ”

"Hey, it's a good idea, but it's too dangerous for Mr. Kuai, right?" Tang Ning said with some concern.

Kuaitong pondered for a long time, and then replied slowly: "General, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but I've come forward too many times before, I'm afraid that as soon as I arrive in Xianyang, I will be recognized by Zhao Gao and other traitors, but Mr. Zhang's strategy is good in the next, no matter whether it is successful or not, I don't need to pay too much, so I think I can try it!" ”

"But the problem is that apart from Mr., we don't have anyone here who can speak well." Tang Ning said distressedly.

"If the general can be trusted, he can recommend a friend, and his ability is definitely not below me." Kuaitong proposed.

"Oh? I wonder who Mr. recommends? Tang Ning asked curiously.

"He is also our Chu people, his name is Lu Jia, although his reputation is not obvious, but he definitely has real talent and learning." Kuaitong is the right color road.

"Lu Jia? I have never heard of this person, if it is Mr. Kuai, then I can definitely trust it, but this Lu Jia, who is not well-known, if he absconds with the heavy money we used to buy Zhao Gao, what if it is good? Zhang Er questioned.

Hearing Zhang Er say this, Kuai Tong replied angrily: "I am willing to guarantee Lu Jia, this is always okay, right?" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand on the side and said, "Mr. doesn't have to be like this, I can still trust Mr.'s recommendation." Of course, on the one hand, Tang Ning really trusts Kuaitong, and on the other hand, he knows Lu Jia, although he took refuge in Liu Bang very early, his main achievements are all after Liu Bang unified the world.

In particular, Zhao Tuo, who persuaded South Vietnam twice, made great contributions, and he was also one of the heroes who overthrew Empress Lu, and he was the first person in the Han Dynasty to propose to rule the world with Confucianism.

After discussing for a long time, Tang Ning finally decided to take a three-pronged approach, on the one hand, he asked Xiangjiang, the king of Chu Huai, to issue a decree and order Xiang Liang to send troops to recruit Zhang Han; On the one hand, Lu Jia carried a lot of money and went to Xianyang to buy Zhao Gao to interfere with Zhang Han's military operations, and it was best to replace him; Finally, prepare to evacuate Handan.

Originally, Tang Ning thought that even if Xiang Liang refused to help, at least it would mean on the surface, after all, he was a nobleman of the Chu State, and he couldn't resist the orders of the King of Chu in public, right? To Tang Ning's surprise, Xiang Liang sent an envoy to bring a request, if Tang Ning was willing to meet this request, then he would immediately send a large army to snipe Zhang Han, otherwise he would sit idly by, and his request was to serve Xiong Xin as the king of Chu! The reason is naturally extremely upright, because Xiong Xin is the direct grandson of King Chu Huai, and he is much more confident than Xiangjiang in terms of name. (Actually, I didn't understand why Xiang Yu gave Xiong Xin the name of King Chu Huai, isn't this a repeat of his grandfather?) ）

It wasn't until this time that Tang Ning knew that the real backer behind Xiong Xin was actually Xiang Liang, in fact, it was no wonder, after all, it was Xiang Yu who found Xiong Xin and made him king in history, and his purpose in doing this was obviously to compete with Tang Ning for power!
