Since the previous year, he marched with Song Yi and Xiang Yu separately, Liu Ji fought many small battles along the way and captured more than a dozen cities.

Because there is no army of Ping thieves in Zhang Han in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are only lieutenants and county soldiers whose main function is to catch thieves on weekdays.

Therefore, Liu Ji's army is quite powerful.

……

Liu Ji is a smart man, he understands that his strength is insufficient, all the way to the west, his mind is not to fight, but mainly to recruit all kinds of scattered people to join the army.

For example, the displaced people are young and strong, the scattered people after the defeat of the princes of all parties, the aftermath of the government after the large-scale project, and the brave travelers who came out to find a way out in the troubled times, Liu Ji accepted them as one.

By the time Liu Ji's army entered the rich Sanchuan and Nanyang County, the number of Liu Ji's Chu army had reached a staggering 200,000.

At this moment, Liu Ji's army is already quite magnificent.

or subdued, there are also many celebrities and generals who defected, including the Chu general Chen Wu who led the army alone, the Gaoyang celebrity Li Shiqi, and the Wei army scattered the generals Huang Xin and Wu Pu.

The Qin army's Wancheng guards and sheren Chen Hui, Lie Hou Qi Gill, Wang Ling and others, finally had a certain atmosphere.

In particular, the encounter with Zhang Liang and Han Wangcheng gave Liu Ji Dajun a top think tank and made a more favorable choice.

Now the leader of the hooligans, the second protagonist of the troubled times at the end of Qin, Liu Ji has greatly increased his strength and has become a force that can influence the general trend of the world.

……

Although the Chu army won a complete victory in the Battle of Julu, and even killed the 100,000 Jiuyuan army, the main army of the Qin State was still there, and as long as Zhang Han was still there, Liu Ji would not dare to act rashly.

Not daring to rush into the Guanzhong, Liu Ji moved to the Kunshan area after occupying Nanyang to wait and see the changes in the world.

During this period, Liu Ji was impatient several times and wanted to enter the army, but Zhang Liang shook his head to dissuade him.

Because Guanzhong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is not enough army, it is impossible to break through.

Especially now that Xiang Yu has won the battle of the giant deer, his prestige is unparalleled in the world, and it is by no means the time when Liu Ji is emerging.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao Gao and I have agreed that the Qin State will surrender, and he will be the king of Western Qin, and I will be the king of Eastern Qin, what do you think of this?"

King of Eastern Qin, these three words are full of power and temptation, Liu Ji at this time is still the ancestor who will be in the future and destroy Chu as the emperor.

At this time, Liu Ji was just a gangster with a rich head, living a day without a day, worrying about it.

King of Eastern Qin, for Liu Ji, this is the biggest official position he can think of, as for the throne, Liu Ji has never thought about it.

"Pei Gong can't!"

Li Shiqi arched his hand towards Liu Jiyi and said, "Zhao Gao's cholera Great Qin court has a bad reputation in the world, and conspiring with it will only ruin Pei Gong's reputation." ”

"As long as our army enters Guanzhong, Pei Gong will be the king of Qin at that time, why care about just a king of Eastern Qin."

……

"Hmm."

Liu Ji's political wisdom is absolutely unparalleled in the world, and he knows the pros and cons of colluding with Zhao Gao from Li Shiqi's words, and said coldly.

"Manly man, if you want to be the king of Guanzhong, even if the king of Eastern Qin can't take the turn of a eunuch to divide the seal!"

Liu Ji's determination made everyone under his command excited, there was Wuguan in front of him, as long as he entered Wuguan, Xianyang would be under the front of the army.

The king of Chu has an order: The one who enters the customs first, the king!

Now that Guanzhong is in front of you, a stone's throw away, the civil and military strategists who followed Liu Ji are naturally very excited, and the founding heroes are tomorrow.

At this time, the civil and military forces under Liu Ji were the most concerted.

……

"I am in a hurry, I hope to enter Guanzhong as soon as possible, however, the Qin army is still numerous, and the front and rear are in danger, although the Qin army was defeated in the battle of Julu, the main force remains."

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji, paused word by word, and said: "If at this time, Zhang Han returns to Hangu Pass and sits in Guanzhong, can he be sure to defeat him?" ”

Zhang Liang's voice was flat, but what he said was heart-wrenching, which made Liu Ji, who was hot-headed because of the temptation of King Guanzhong, calm down in an instant.

"No, Zhang Han has 200,000 Qin troops in his hands, and since he defeated Zhou Wen's army in the water, he has won all battles, and the combat power of the army under his command is far from comparable to us."

Liu Ji's words were full of bitterness, he knew that the 200,000 army seemed to be a large number, but it was just a rabble, and it was not enough to compare with the elite Qin army under Zhang Han's command.

"It's just Mr. Zifang, King Chu Huai has an order, the one who enters the customs first is the king, and now the customs is in front of me, how can I give up!"

In the final analysis, Pei Gong Liu Ji never forgot the position of the king of Guanzhong.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he bowed solemnly towards Liu Ji, and said: "Although the battle of Julu has come to an end, Zhang Han has stationed 200,000 troops in Zhangshui. ”

"As long as Zhang Han is not defeated, even if he enters Guanzhong, it is useless, and now our army is besieging Wuguan, as long as Zhang Han's army is defeated, our army can take advantage of the void to capture Guanzhong."

Liu Ji didn't read much, but whether he made things happen at home or someone else, the meaning is not the same.

"What Mr. Zifang said is very true, he always looks at other people's faces, and he is ashamed!"

Zhang Liang smiled, a touch of darkness passed under his eyes, he looked at Liu Ji, and said: "This is called the hidden dragon not to use, take advantage of the time to move, the sky does not thunder, the dragon will not raise its head." ”

"Haha......"

Laughing, Liu Jiwan'er said, "The hidden dragon of the bird is clearly a worm!" ”

"Mr. Zifang, the army is besieging Wuguan, if it is not broken for a long time, it will change later!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Xiao He glanced at each other, and several people gathered in a group, discussing their next move.

"Pei Gong, I thought that we should send Li Shiqi and Lu Jia as lobbyists to enter Wuguan to persuade the Qin army to surrender to Chu."

"At the same time, Cao Shen was sent again, and Guan Ying each led an army of 30,000 to make a feint attack on Hangu Pass, bluffing to confuse the Qin army at Hangu Pass."

Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with a gleam, he looked at Liu Ji, and said: "When the time comes, Pei Gong will lead the Chinese army and Fan Xu, Zhou Bo and other departments, secretly enter Wuguan from the Danshui River Valley, and wait for an opportunity to raid. ”

……

As soon as Zhang Liang's voice fell, the entire big tent was quiet, because this was the first step to enter the Guanzhong, Liu Ji was determined to win.

He didn't care whether the celebrity lobbyist said that the surrender was successful or not, and his mind was only on the sneak attack.

Zhang Liang's strategy, attacking the heart first, and then attacking the city, can be said to be the key to the art of war, as long as Liu Ji implements it like this, there is no doubt that the martial pass will be broken.

……

峣關.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ji's army of 200,000 is approaching Wuguan, and at the same time, two armies intend to attack Hangu Pass......"

Hearing this, Hu Hai's eyes swept a touch of depth, and he knew in his heart that Liu Ji's momentum to break the martial arts pass was unstoppable, and Liu Ji's power accumulated for a year was in this blow.

As long as the sharp spirit of Liu Ji's army is exhausted, he can defeat Liu Ji's army in a battle in the pass.
