Chapter 272: Liu Bang's Abacus (First Update, 4000 Words)
"What Father Ya said is very true, I have already sent a credible person back to Jiangdong to inform the generals guarding Huiji County, if they see Liu Bang or Pei County, they will all be killed!"
Xiang Yu's reaction was not unpleasant, what he was most afraid of was that Liu Bang would return to Huiji after running away to deceive the city gate and seize the land of Huiji County, although he didn't find anything missing after counting the warships, but just in case, he still had to have it.
Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng sang and harmonized, but Xiang Yu realized what kind of person Liu Bang was, but for them now, the focus is really not to quickly find Liu Bang who didn't know where to run and kill him, but how to deal with the follow-up actions of Xianyang.
Although Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng's strategy was very subtle, allowing Jiangdong's army to have a stable territory after crossing the river again, they could only take one step at a time.
When they arrived in Shouchun, they organized a defensive line on the spot and waited for the Great Qin army, or continued to move forward and attract the Qin soldiers to other places, so that even after the defeat, they could still ensure that there was no problem with their large rear Huiji County.
They knew how much time it would take for this news to reach Xianyang, and they also knew how much time it would take to send troops from Xianyang to Chen County, so during these times, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang had to figure out an expedient plan for Xiang Yu, at least to be able to deal with the rolling Great Qin army for a certain amount of time.
Otherwise, he was killed back to Jiangdong all of a sudden, and it would not be so easy to come back, and they all knew what kind of virtuous monarch Yinggao was, if he could give you another chance to recuperate in Jiangdong, then he might not be called Yinggao.
Yinggao was angry and wanted to kill Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu also swore that he wanted to defeat Yinggao, such a result was exactly what Liu Bang, who had already left the territory of Shouchun all the way at this time, wanted to see.
Indeed, just like Fan Zeng and Zhang Liangshi analyzed, Liu Bang has indeed been forbearing, until he found that if he didn't leave, he would really have to die in the battle against the Qin soldiers, to put it bluntly, Xiang Yu didn't keep himself to let himself enjoy life there, but to let himself be cannon fodder at every opportunity.
Seeing Liu Bang at this level clearly, it is natural that he can no longer follow Xiang Yu in Jiangdong, in that case, maybe this battle is not over, and he will become a bare-pole commander, this has to be said at best, if it is not good, whether his life can be saved or not is two different things.
So, after Xiang Yu's battle against Shouchun won a big victory this time, Liu Bang and his hardcore brothers began to plan to break away from Xiang Yu's army.
And these brothers under Liu Bang, other skills have not been seen much, and the most important thing is to be able to eat, drink, and build relationships.
Almost immediately, Fan Xu found out that almost all of these sergeants who were used by Xiang Yu as a pioneer battalion were very dissatisfied with this arrangement, which is not difficult to understand, let you go to death, to be cannon fodder, and no one can be happy to put it on anyone.
But if this is in the past, it is some of the complaints of these sergeants, because they have already turned against Qin, and there is no better choice, who else can they follow if they don't follow Xiang Yu?
But after the flickering of these guys under Liu Bang, many people have a small abacus in their hearts, in Xiang Yu's place, he just let himself die in front of the big army, but those brothers who followed Liu Bang, they know, they eat a lot of meat, drink a lot, and make a big move to engage Meiji, who doesn't like such a master?
So, just last night, a night without moon or wind, but with a very large fog, in the front of the pioneer camp but very simple camp, Liu Bang, a half-old man who is almost fifty years old, officially decided to break away from Xiang Yu.
That night, he scattered all his brothers who had passed their lives from Peixian, and gave them only half an hour, and as much as he could, he would assemble at a designated place on the edge of the camp after half an hour, and then set off.
But what was really a bit unexpected by Liu Bang was that when half an hour passed, there were 8,000 people under his command.
This was something Liu Bang hadn't expected before, so with these 8,000 people, he went all the way south along Jiujiang County, and gradually moved away from Xiang Yu's camp.
Under the condition that the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, and after walking for several hours, it was still silent, Liu Bang finally knew that the time for his performance had finally come.
Although he failed to achieve the goal of successfully stealing Xiang Yu's foundation in Huiji County, but now the fierce battle between Yinggao and Xiang Yu is obviously not a day or two can be over, taking advantage of this opportunity, if he can win a piece of land for himself to spend this life safely, then this half of his life can be regarded as no regrets.
Driven by such thoughts, Liu Bang did not return to his hometown of Surabaya County, he had already analyzed it before, once there was a fierce battle between Yinggao and Xiang Yu near Shouchun, then Surabaya County would definitely be affected.
At that time, he will definitely not have the opportunity to march south, if he goes north, it is obvious that he will almost be a place where Great Qin is ironclad, and when the time comes, it will not be enough for the Qin soldiers to rely on their own thousands of people.
If you want to say that Liu Bang's most bullish place, it is this courage to ignore it, I don't know which mountain root near Pei County still hides his wife and illegitimate son Liu Fei, but Liu Bang doesn't want to care about that now, just take care of himself and lead people to get farther and farther away from Surabaya County.
In his opinion, no matter what you want to dare in the future, then you must live first, and go south, so that he can live for a long time.
Of course, what Liu Bang did here, Yinggao can't control, as early as the moment he came to this era, he knew that once he had the opportunity, he would have to kill Liu Bang no matter what, but obviously, this opportunity didn't really fall on Yinggao's head until this time.
And now, he didn't think about what Liu Bang was doing for the time being, because Xiang Yu was the one who was currently in front of Daqin and had to cross the chasm of the past.
The day after Yinggao returned to Xianyang, he personally announced the contents of Wang Li's letter in the court of Daqin, especially the annihilation of the 50,000 army, and he also emphasized it emphatically.
If this is replaced by other emperors, such a shameful thing will hardly be said in front of all the officials in the court, but this is Yinggao, he has already decided, if there is any problem with Daqin, I will take it to the table and tell you a 1510 explanation, but if you have any questions that you haven't explained to me, then it's no wonder I'm ruthless......
Except for Xiao He and some other officials who Yinggao called to the Xianyang Palace last night to discuss, the others were really frightened by Wang Li's letter, especially those who had never led troops to fight.
The heart said that the 50,000 army was wiped out by the people of Jiangdong almost all at once, how many people can the entire Great Qin have now? If he loses the battle again, wouldn't this Great Qin, who was just a little bit of a stabiliser, be in danger again?
Before these people could react, Yinggao immediately threw out his second bombshell, which is actually two words, that is, pro-Zheng.
As soon as these two words came out, almost all the people who didn't know about it before were muttering in the innermost, this is absolutely unacceptable, what if there is any danger.
But no one dares to stand up directly to refute this matter, because after these months of observation, Yinggao's temperament and temperament have already been figured out, even if you feel that you are reasonable, there is only one result if you stand up, that is, you will be slapped in the face by Yinggao.
"Good! Since all the princes agree with my personal expedition very much, then this matter is just like this, I am the Son of Heaven, Daqin is in trouble, I don't go to guard this country, can I have fun in this Xianyang Palace's comfortable nest and wait for death? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was no even sound of discussion below, everyone looked at each other one by one, and muttered in their hearts, as if what the king said was really like this, why didn't I think about it before?
This time in the court, in addition to announcing that all the evidence in the Great Qin court was handed over to Feng Quji and Xiao He after he left, Yinggao also announced that a group of generals led by Taiwei Meng Yi would follow him on the expedition, and then left the court under the gaze of the bewildered officials.
For this time Yinggao turned out to be the most trusted Xiao He to stay in Xianyang, but let him follow him on the expedition, Meng Yi was also very entangled when he first learned about it, and he didn't understand what Yinggao broke the previous inherent pattern for, and faintly guessed in his heart whether Yinggao was afraid that he would have something to do with Meng Tian and the two of them if he left him in Xianyang Palace.
But for this matter, Yinggao only had one explanation for Meng Yi, that is, for the victory of Great Qin.
Meng Yi thought about it in his house for almost a night last night, and finally understood, he knew that if Yinggao really had any jealousy in his heart about his qualifications, this status, it would be safest to kill himself, but Yinggao obviously didn't, so what did he have to worry about?
This time, the troops that Yinggao brought to Chen County were not as good as the last time, but only 1120,000 horses, and this number was not Yinggao's intention, but Xianyang City could only take out these horses except for the soldiers who had to be left behind for the city defense.
According to Wang Li's description, after the first battle of Shouchun, Xiang Yu's command was more than 70,000 or 80,000 people.
He also wanted to take four or five hundred thousand horses to kill Xiang Yu in one go, but Daqin just didn't have so many people now, and if there were any, they were all restrained by the Huns and Nanyue, and they couldn't quench their thirst, so there was no way, if they wanted to kill Xiang Yu now, they could only face it.
There are seventy or eighty thousand people, you are tens of thousands, and you are an orthodox Heavenly Mandate Master who is famous, plus the generals with pants under your command, Ying Gao said that if he can't do Xiang Yu anymore, he will really not be very interesting in front of the emperor of Great Qin, so regardless of the doubts of some generals, Ying Gao just took this less than 120,000 people and horses to Hangu Pass.
"Major General, the scouts in the west sent back the battle report, the Great Qin Emperor Yinggao actually personally led the army to the expedition, at this time it was already half of the line, looking at the situation, it is very likely that the army will be gathered in the territory of Chen County, and my Shouchun's army will confront, and then a decisive battle, but this time for some reason, the number of troops led by this guy is not as good as before, only more than 100,000, compared to our army does not occupy a very big advantage."
After Zhang Liang learned the news, he informed Xiang Yu as soon as possible, Xiang Yu listened, his eyes rolled and rolled, obviously, there was a lot of information in it, and Xiang Yu seemed to smell a hint of opportunity in it.
But Zhang Liang didn't think so in his heart, the emperor of Great Qin was a handsome person as early as when he was the prince, although he didn't lead troops to fight, but he was very reliable in employing people.
At the beginning, Xiang Liang was killed with a very big disadvantage in terms of troops, and now although they are only dispatching a little more than 100,000 men, but with those troops in Chen County, for Xiang Yu, who has just lost the more than 8,000 death squads abducted by Liu Bang, it is still nearly twice as many enemy troops, and this battle is still very difficult to fight.
With such an idea, when discussing countermeasures with Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu and several generals under Xiang Yu's command, Zhang Liang put forward a statement that was different from everyone else.
According to Xiang Yu, the Jiangdong disciples under their command are no worse than the soldiers of Daqin, and they are waiting for work in this Shouchun, plus if they are defeated, they can go back to Huiji County directly, and Yinggao still does not have a warship that can allow large-scale soldiers to cross the river, so they don't have to go anywhere, just wait for Yinggao's army in this Shouchun and it will be over, as long as they win two battles, the Qin soldiers will naturally not be able to do it.
As soon as Xiang Yu's meaning was revealed, he was refuted by Zhang Liang almost immediately.
"The young general doesn't know, since the east of Hangu Pass, Sanchuan, Yingchuan and Chenjun, the land of the three counties has become a channel for the Qin soldiers to send troops after the last battle between Gongzi Gao Pass and us, and after this way, the men and horses will be stationed in Chenjun, the entire rear of the Qin soldiers is quite strong, and they will never make mistakes, if they make preparations for a protracted battle with us in Chen County, it will be a disadvantageous situation for us......"
