Chapter 240: Misfortune Leads to the East
"Uncle, don't you mean that we are a bit of a fool when we do this? After all, now Chen Sheng is being attacked by Zhang Han's army, not only do we not help, but we take the opportunity to coerce, and the little nephew always feels that this is a bit unfair! In Huiji, Xiang Yu frowned and asked his uncle Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang replied disapprerovingly: "How can this be called falling into a well? Let's call this setting things right! The position of the king of Chu should have been sat by Xiong Xin, so what is Xiangjiang? is barely the queen of the royal family, if we can't find Xiongxin, then we can barely endure it, but since Xiongxinxin is still there, why does he occupy the throne and not return it?
Besides, this Chen Sheng is just a civilian, why dare to order us? You must know that when he rose up, he was still in my father's name! Otherwise, with his identity, how could he gather so many heroes and heroes? Now you dare to order me to be cannon fodder for him! It's just wishful thinking!
And it's not that we don't help him, as long as he is willing to serve the bear's heart as the Lord and listen to our control, then I naturally won't watch such an anti-Qin force die; On the contrary, if he refuses to agree, it means that he doesn't have our Da Chu in his heart at all, and he just uses Da Chu as a guise to achieve the great cause of his Chen family, so why should I save him? If you don't raise troops to destroy him, it's polite! In the end, Xiang Liang became more and more excited.
Xiang Yu knew that his uncle had always taken the revitalization of Dachu as his own responsibility, so he didn't want to argue with him in this regard, so he changed the topic and asked, "Then uncle, you say, will this Chen Sheng agree to our request?" ”
Xiang Liang snorted coldly and replied: "Then it depends on whether he can resist Zhang Hanbei, if he can bear it, I guess he will never agree; But if he can't bear it, then he will definitely agree, after all, if he is a minister to us, he can still protect the glory and wealth of his life, but once it falls into the hands of Zhang Han, with the law of Great Qin, it is light to divide the corpse of five horses and cut it with a thousand knives! ”
The uncle and nephew were talking, when suddenly their subordinates reported: "General, Chen County sent someone to send a reply!" ”
"Oh, this is really a coincidence, we were talking about this, and the news came, hurry up, I'll see how this Chen Sheng replied." Xiang Liang said happily.
The herald glanced at Xiang Liang with some embarrassment, and then opened his mouth to read the letter. (Wenyan's letter is too difficult to compile, so I simply don't make it up, and the gist of Downing's reply is that how can the head of a country be easily replaced?) Xiang Liang, if you do this, you are falling into the well, taking advantage of people's danger, and simply insulting your Xiang family's style, etc., anyway, it is a scolding! )
After listening to this letter, Xiang Liang's face turned blue with anger, smashed several cups in a row, and scolded angrily: "The shaft is so rampant! It's really annoying to me! ”
Xiang Yu hurriedly comforted on the side: "Uncle, don't be angry, what we should think about most now is why this Chen Sheng has so much courage to contradict us like this?" According to the right theory, even if he doesn't want to agree to our conditions, then he shouldn't contradict us in the short term, otherwise there will be no way out? Could it be that he now has a way to defeat Zhang Han? ”
Xiang Liang sneered: "How is this possible, you have also read the recent battle report, his Western Route Army was defeated and retreated by Zhang Han, according to this rhythm, it will be less than a month to hit his old nest Chen County, unless he is willing to retreat to Handan, there is no way to deal with it at all." ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Liang suddenly changed his words: "But speaking of which, his newly appointed commander of the Western Route Army, Han Xin, is indeed a figure, leading a group of rabble, although he is defeated by Zhang Han's army, but although he has been defeated along the way, he has retreated layer by layer, if he were a different person, he would have been defeated and collapsed a long time ago!" ”
"I naturally read the military report, but this is what I can't figure out the most, if the situation is like this, where does Chen Sheng's confidence come from?" Xiang Yu frowned and muttered to himself.
Just when Xiang Yu was puzzled, he didn't know that Zhang Han's expression at the moment was exactly the same as him, only to see Zhang Han holding the holy decree and frowning and muttering: "This, how did this send such a will?" ”
In fact, it's no wonder that he can't understand it, because Mingfa's will is actually for him to change the battle plan and lead the army to turn around and attack Xiangliang in Jiangdong, but now that he is fighting Chen Sheng well, why should he make himself turn around? In this way, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?
Looking at Zhang Han's expression, the eunuch in charge of delivering the decree urged impatiently: "What's the matter, General Zhang, are you planning to resist the decree?" ”
Zhang Han hurriedly replied: "The last general naturally doesn't dare to resist and disobey the will, but in this case, wouldn't all our previous blows to Chen Shengbu be in vain, this, this general really doesn't understand the intention of this will!" ”
The eunuch replied disapprovingly: "The Holy Lord and Prime Minister Zhao Cheng are far-sighted, how can we understand their profound intentions?" So General Zhang, you just need to do what you want. At the end, his voice became cold: "Otherwise, be careful, not only will it be useless, but you will have it!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Han couldn't help but shudder in his heart, because he knew that he was not liked by the superiors, otherwise how could he let him organize a group of prisoners and laborers to come to recruit the thieves, fortunately, this time has been a victory, otherwise, with the law of Great Qin, then what fate awaits him is not necessarily what.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han could only nod helplessly and agreed: "The last general will obey the order!" Tomorrow, he will lead the army to attack Jiangdong Xiangliang! ”
When he heard that Zhang Han's army would ignore the half-crippled Han Xin West Route Army, and turned his head to march to Jiangdong to conquer himself, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, the uncle and nephew, couldn't help but look at each other and were stunned on the spot.
"Uncle, what's going on? This chapter Han doesn't look like a person who doesn't know soldiers, how could he give up Han Xin, who was already about to be disabled, ignore it, and turn around and run to fight us? W-This doesn't make sense?! Xiang Yu asked puzzled.
Xiang Liang didn't answer his nephew's words, but thought hard alone, and after a long time, he slapped the table hatefully and scolded angrily: "I understand! I finally got it! Why did Chen Sheng, the erectionist, dare to scold me like that? Why did he dare not care about our help, it turned out that he had the idea of leading the water to the east, this is to lead Zhang Han to us! ”
PS: Although this trick is a little ridiculous, it is not completely impossible to think about it, there are many things in history that divide the plot, counter-plot, and change of generals before the battle, and with Zhao Gao's practice of hiding and coaxing Hu Hai, maybe he can really do this!
