Volume 17 Redefining the Central Plains Chapter 15 The World Storm
Under the Hangu Pass, in the huge and gorgeous Fusu Imperial Tent, the generals in the army gathered and gathered together.
In the past two days, there has been no war in the army, so Fusu also took off his soft armor and changed into a black-background colored dragon robe, which looked majestic and impressive. The rest of the generals were also relaxed and beaming.
Fusu looked at the generals, and felt that the heroes were gathered, and he was quite complacent for a while, and nodded with a smile at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang understood, held out a military report, and said with a smile: "At this morning's morning meeting, I want to announce two good news to you. First, the two generals, Meng Yi and Li Xin, had already captured Shangdang with the help of Momen, and so far the northern Xinjiang, Shanxi and Sanchuan counties had been unimpeded. Second, Li Liang, the general of the Zhao State of Hukou Pass, has announced that he will lead the army to surrender to our army, and His Majesty will make him the general of the protector of the country and the marquis of Julu, and he will be the minister of the same palace with everyone in the future!"
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and there was a thunderous burst of joy for a while.
Fusu waved his hand, and everyone gradually calmed down. "Now, the situation of our army is very good, Lenovo asked the opinions of the generals, how to make the next decision? Ladies and gentlemen, please express your opinions, and don't have reservations!" Fusu smiled and groaned.
Yingbu was the first to speak: "Since Shanxi has been decided, and General Zhang Han and others have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, there is no need to mobilize the Blackshirt Army to the south for reinforcements. According to the minister's intentions, I have gathered as many as 600,000 elite people under the Hangu Pass, and it is more than enough to take measures to level the pass where there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals. It is better to let Li Xin, Meng Yi, and Meng Tian go east to Taihang and go all out to level Hebei and Yandi. Then, the main force of our army went out of the tiger prison, Li Xin and others went out of Hebei in the south, and Han Xin went out of the Yangtze River in the north. This will be foolish, please Your Majesty, the generals will correct it!"
Yingbu was polite, but his gaze swept over the faces of the generals. But it looks like someone else is giving it to me. Fusu was secretly happy in his heart: "He is worthy of being a talented general, and he has been carefully taught by me for many years, and he really didn't disappoint me!" Is this almost exactly what I thought!" Although he was happy in his heart, Fusu said quietly on his face: "Well, General Yingbu suggested this, can the generals have any objections?"
The other generals wanted to say the same thing, but Yingbu was not quick to react, so they had to swallow the words back in a huff.
Zhang Han was worried about the small family in Zhao Jiajia, and he had the idea of what to expect, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty." What General Yingbu said was very appropriate, and the ministers had no objections! It's just that the matter of attacking Guanzhong must be grasped quickly, and the puppet emperor Hu Hai and the eunuch Zhao Gao must not be given a chance to breathe!" Sima Xin, Zhang Han and a cadre of generals also hurriedly got up and agreed.
Fusu understood in his heart, nodded and said, "Well, what General Zhang said is very true!" After waiting for three days, after the grain and grass transferred from Luoyang arrived in Hangu, they immediately sent troops to Tongguan and swept through the pass! The ovary, you are the purpose of the couplet. Feng Mengtian and Li Xin are the Marquis of Dark North and the Marquis of Wenxin, with 10,000 foods, and Meng Yi is also the general of the protector and the Marquis of Volunteers. Five thousand eaters, and at the same time ordered three people and Li Liang to lead the army to sweep away Yandi and Hebei!" Whoa!"
Just when Fusu commanded the main forces of the two new Qin armies in southern and northern Xinjiang and fought fiercely with the Guanzhong and Zhao armies. The other princes of the Kanto region were not idle......
Daliang City, Wei Wangfu.
Just when Fusu was conquering Hangu, the pressure on the Kwantung princes was greatly reduced, and Wei Ji took the opportunity to claim the throne. Restore the state of Wei and set the capital of Daliang.
At this time, in the hall of the Diwang Mansion, the important ministers of the Wei State gathered and were deliberating.
Wei Qi, who was tall and had thick eyebrows, wore a royal robe. Sitting on the throne, it is also quite a bit of a king's style. Wei Qi recently ascended the throne, and when he was complacent, he had the intention to expand his territory and revitalize the Yan Kingdom. Glancing at the ministers, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the widow summoned everyone here today to discuss what the national policy of my Wei State should be for a period of time in the future?" Please hold your own opinions, and don't hold back!"
The ministers looked at it, and a general, Ji Wuyang, got up and said: "King, now that the main force of Fusu is moving west into Hangu, Luoyang and Tiger Prison are empty, which is a God-given opportunity. It's better for me to wait for the army to march westward, capture Tiger Prison and Luoyang, and then join forces with the old Qin in Guanzhong to exterminate Fusu. At that time, the prestige of our army will inevitably shake the world, and with the aftermath of a great victory, sweeping the Kanto region is just around the corner!"
Wenchen Wei Bei hurriedly said: "No, no, how can Fusu be easy to mess with!?" In the past, it conquered the Kanto, and the world was shocked, and not long ago the three battles of Pingchun, Nanyang, and Yingchuan annihilated our righteous army as many as 200,000. How can such a tiger be provoked casually!?"
Dongping Jun Wei Bao was scared by Fusoda last time, and hurriedly said: "King, what Wei Bei said is very true!" In the past, Fusu flooded the Liang, how vicious and ferocious it was, and now it has millions of heroes in the south of the old Qin and northern Xinjiang, and it is really self-defeating to provoke such an enemy! General Ji wants to capture the Tiger Prison, but this is just a dream. As far as I know, Zhao Tuo, the general of Fusu's early dispatch, led 30,000 elites to sit in the tiger prison. Although our army has more than 100,000 troops, it is not easy to capture the Tiger Prison Pass. If you can't do it, you will have a grudge against Fusu, which is really not worth it. The most important thing is that the surrounding areas of our country are not very stable: Wuchen occupies Zhaodi, Peng Yue occupies Dangjun, Tian Dan occupies Qidi, and Xiang Liang occupies Donghai, Surabaya and other places, all of which are greedy and shameless. If the main force of our army attacks the tiger prison in the west, if these four sides take the opportunity to raise troops to attack, will our country not be in danger! Please make a clear decision, Brother Wang!"
Wei Ji couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the fierceness of the Qin army in the old days, and suddenly lacked confidence in his heart, and thought for a while: "Fusu is too fierce, my country is not his opponent, it is better to not invade each other, and make another plan!"
Han Guang, the former general of Chen Sheng, got up at this time and said: "King, if you don't attack and support the Soviet Union, then what else can our army want!?" The surrounding land has its owner, and the only land of the old Qin, Chen County, is also being besieged by the army led by Long Ji, and there is no place to take it!"
Everyone was also speechless for a while: Fusu is powerful, and everyone dare not provoke, but there are all the righteous troops of the alliance around, and it seems that it is not very morals to attack it, and they suddenly look at each other, quite helpless!
Suddenly, Wei Bao got up and said: "King, Wuchen, Tian Dan, and Xiang Liang are powerful, and they should not be insulted, it is better to attack Peng Yue!" Wei Ji thought for a moment. Among the surrounding forces, Peng Yue was the weakest, but he could also be bullied, but he was a little embarrassed and said: "However, there is no name, what can I do?"
Wei Bao smiled: "What is nameless!?" We have restored the Wei State, and Dangjun is the old land of the Wei State, and the name of the reclaim is justified, who in the world dares to disagree!? Moreover, there are many old nobles of our Wei State in Dangjun City, and these people have long been dissatisfied with Peng Yue and other reckless people. If our army attacks it, it will inevitably respond en masse, and it will be easy to take it!" Everyone's eyes suddenly flashed, and they said in their hearts: "Yes, why didn't you think of this trick!"
Wei Ji was overjoyed and said: "What Brother Wang said is very true, but it is better to take care of it first and then the soldiers!" Wei Bao nodded and said with a sneer: "Not bad! If Peng Yue obeys his orders and obediently sacrifices Dangjun, if he doesn't obey, it's not too late to take it!" The crowd burst into laughter.
Suddenly, another Wenchen Boxi said diligently: "The minister was mentioned by Dongping Jun just now. But I still remembered one thing: That Chen County is also the old land of my Wei State, but now Xiang Liang is sending a dragon and commanding troops to attack it, which is really unreasonable. No ##使通传项粱. Make it order Long and retreat, and wait for our army to take Peng Yue and then capture Chen County. In this way, wouldn't my Wei State be very powerful!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Under the suggestion of Boxi, the ministers woke up.
Wei Fei was startled, and hurriedly said, "Never, never!" Bo Xi wondered: "What does Dongping Jun mean by this?" Wei Bao bluffed and said, "Have you ever heard the truth that the meat that has been eaten in your mouth and spit it out!?" Peng Yue is small and weak, and our army can naturally knead him with a justifiable excuse; But Xiang Liang now has no less than 200,000 soldiers under his command. The strength of our army is far inferior to him, do you think Xiang Liang will obediently spit out Chen Jun who ate to his mouth!? Perhaps, Xiang Liang will take the opportunity to use this as an excuse to start a war with me and seize the land of my Wei State. This is the way to self-destruction, and it must not be!"
Everyone woke up and couldn't help but shudder, Wei Ji nodded and said, "Yes, Xiang Liang is powerful, don't provoke him!" There is no need to discuss the matter of Chen County, let's take down Dangjun first!" Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers answered.
Yang County, Liuhou Mansion.
Seeing that the surrounding princes all claimed to be kings, Peng Yue was also itching, but his power was weak, and he didn't dare to call himself king like Wei Ji and Wuchen, so he appointed himself as the marquis.
At this time, in the Houfu Mansion, Peng Yue and his four generals Zhang Cong, Zhao Kai, Li Yue, and He Duo were deliberating. These four officers are all old generals who have followed Peng Yue since he started the army, and they can be regarded as Peng Yue's henchmen.
The current Peng Yue's face was pale, and he looked at the edict in his hand, and felt a little gritted his teeth...... He snorted and said: "Brothers, Wei Ji said that my Dangjun is the homeland of his Wei State, and he wants me to surrender the land within ten days, what do you think?"
Zhang Cong sneered: "We have been fighting since Dayozawa, and after dozens of bloody battles, how can we give it to others!?" Big brother, don't listen to Wei Zhi's fart!" Peng Yue and others were born in a reckless manner, although they are now a prince, they still can't change that reckless atmosphere between words, Zhang Cong and others are still used to calling Peng Yue 'big brother'!
Zhao Kai also said angrily: "Damn, what is the old land of Wei State, it is obvious that he is red when he sees us occupying Dangjun, and he wants to take our territory!" But I still fucking found a beautiful excuse, I really want to be a bitch and have a good reputation!"
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed for a while, and the laughter was very lewd!
After laughing, the feeling of impending disaster gradually returned to everyone's hearts, Li Yue said with some sorrow: "Although everyone in the world understands that Wei is looking for an excuse to annex us, but their reasons seem to be reasonable on the surface, I'm afraid that if I can't wait, Wei will definitely send troops to attack!" At that time, the enemy will be strong and I will be weak, so what can I do!"
He Duodao: "Why don't I wait for Zhao, Qi, and Chu to send envoys and ask them to mediate, how about it?" Li Yue sneered: "Asking them to mediate, it's purely a fool's dream!" Wei's apparent reasons are also reasonable, so why should they turn their faces against Wei for something that is not beneficial. What's more, these countries may all be waiting for Wei to fight with us and are ready to take advantage of the opportunity!"
The generals had nothing to do, so they had to look at Peng Yue. Peng Yue, who was pale, gritted his teeth and said: "Hateful Wei blame, isn't that Chen County also the old land of Wei, why don't you see him and Xiang Liang turn their faces, just because they see that our army is weak and bully each other." If you force Lao Tzu urgently, Lao Tzu will fight with you!"
Li Yue said: "Big brother, it's not a good way to work hard!" My Dangjun army is only 40,000, and the Wei State is afraid that the strength of the army is three or four times that of me, and those old nobles of the Wei State in the middle of Dangjun are also Yang and Yin on weekdays because of our reckless background, I am afraid that once the Wei State sends troops to attack, these people will not be able to hold back! At that time. Under the internal and external difficulties, our army is in danger!"
Everyone realized: At this time, there are strong enemies outside Dangjun, and there is uneasiness inside, and this situation of internal and external difficulties is very bad.
Peng Yue was able to rely on his own strength to become a prince in this troubled world, naturally he had his own uniqueness, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said in a dark voice: "Hard, we are definitely not the opponents of Wei, but let me take refuge in Wei Bla, Wei Bao's incompetent and arrogant people are also unthinkable." Hmph, I can't get Dangjun, and you Wei Guo can't even think of it!"
Li Yue looked at the generals. Suspiciously, he said, "What does the eldest brother mean......?" Peng Yue sneered: "I can't keep Dangjun, won't I dedicate Dangjun to others!?" Isn't he afraid of Xiang Liang, I will dedicate Dangjun to Xiang Liang, and at that time, I Peng Yue will still eat fragrant and spicy food, and see what the Wei State can do to me!"
Li Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "What the eldest brother said is very true. If I wait for Dangjun to dedicate to Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang will definitely be overjoyed, and the official position will definitely not be small. Moreover, Xiang Liang's strength is far superior to that of Wei, and with him, the future of our army will be much brighter than it is now!"
He Duo was a little reluctant to say: "Big brother." As the saying goes: 'Rather ** head, not oxtail', if you take refuge in Xiang Liang. Do you have to be driven by others in the future!?" Peng Yue smiled bitterly: "Do you think I want to take refuge in Xiang Liang!?" Our army is weak, and in the future, it will either be annexed by Wei, Chu, or Qi. Even if the Qin State was annexed, it was impossible to survive alone. Instead of being beaten by others in the future, you can't help but surrender now, and you can get a good position! I decided. Immediately send an envoy to surrender to Xiang Liang and ask Xiang Liang to send troops to help! I want to see what the expressions of Wei Qi and Wei Bao are after Wei Guo's bamboo basket is empty!"
"Humph! It must be like a lost mother, dare to be angry but dare not speak!" Although Li Cong has some regrets, he will be at the mercy of others. But he was a little gloating about the fact that Wei also couldn't get Dangjun.
"Hahaha!" Peng Yue and the crowd burst into laughter.
Poor, Wei Guo's bamboo basket is empty, why is this bothering!?
Since Xiang Liang established Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, as the king of Chu, the momentum was greatly boosted, and the hand of the young king of Chu established himself as the general of the Shangzhu State, and Song Yi, the master of another Chu place, was the general of the Xiazhu State, and Huan Chu, the other lord of the Huiji, was the Fuchun Jun and General Pi. Although nominally Xiang Liang and Song Yi and Huan Chu share the same military power, in fact, more than 80% of the military power of the Chu army is in Xiang Liang's hands, and the people who are left to Song Yi and Huan Chu to decorate the façade are some old and weak soldiers, so in the minds of ordinary Chu army officers and soldiers, they often only know that there is a general Xiang, but they don't know that there is a king of Chu, and they don't know why Song Yi and Huan Chu are allowed to be people! It can be seen that in the state of Chu, the rights and interests of Xiangliang land are so hot!
Chudu, Pengcheng, Shangzhu Guoda General's Mansion, the outdoor is drifting with goose feathers and heavy snow, it is cold, but the indoor is warm as spring, Xiang's family: Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo, Fan Zeng, Liu Bang, Zhu Jishi, Yu Fanjun, etc. are all present.
Xiang Liang is wearing soft armor and a coat, looking heroic and chic, although he is in his thirties, he looks like a young and golden son, not very like the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom in the Quartet of Weizhen.
Xiang Liang is in a very good mood now, and his face is pleasant and comfortable when people are in good spirits. Of course, Long He easily took Jiujiang, and now the attack on Chen County is also very smooth, and it can be taken in ten days and a half months, in the face of such a good situation, it is strange that Xiang Liang is unhappy!
Xiang Liang looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Recently, everyone has been busy with each other, and they haven't had a good time to meet and exchange their ideas, so Xiang invited everyone to come today, just to tell everyone about the recent situation in the world and see how our army should respond!" Strategist!" Xiang Liang nodded to Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng has been silky for about ten years at this time, although his body is very good and his face is very ruddy, but his hair and beard are inevitably completely white. However, this also makes the thin and tall Fan Zeng Yuan look really a little bit of the taste of fairy wind bones, adding a bit of birth style. Fan Zeng is known as 'Jiujiang Crazy Birth', and his ordinary temperament is uninhibited, so he is very open in speech and behavior, even in the face of Xiang Liang, he has no fear!
Seeing Xiang Liang signaling to himself, Fan Zeng nodded and said with a smile: "Since the battle of Guangling, our army defeated the Cao staff of the new Qin army, the situation is very good, everyone must know this, I don't need to say more!" It's just that recently, the situation in the world has changed somewhat. Although it is not directly related to most of my Chu country, it must be known.
Let's talk about the New Qin Army that poses the greatest threat to our army: After Cao's staff retreated to Huiji, he relied on the protection of the naval division and barely held the Yangtze River, and he was no longer able to attack north for a while. However, I recently heard that Fusu seems to have sent a marquis of Huaiyin and a general named Han Xin to Huiji to take over the military power. According to this title, I sent someone to Huaiyin to investigate, and found that there was indeed Han Xin in Huaiyin, and his age and appearance also matched, but he was just a child in his twenties, so he was not afraid at all. I don't know that Fusu has always been shrewd. It's really incomprehensible why you just find a hairy boy and reuse it now!"
The generals of the Chu army were also a little strange, and they didn't know who Han Xin was. Yu Fanjun grinned and said with a smile: "It won't be that Fusu is in a hurry, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, just find someone to make up the number!"
Liu Bang's originally harmonious and uninhibited face also matured a lot at this time, and it seemed that he had been weathered over the years, he groaned for a while, shook his head and said, "No, you must not despise Fusu." I'm sure that Han Shin is definitely a great general!"
Everyone was stunned, and even Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng looked puzzled. Xiang Liang couldn't help but say: "Liu Bang, you and that Han Xin don't know each other. Why are you so sure?" Liu Bang and Xiang Yu swore as righteous brothers, and also called Xiang Liang his uncle. At this time, it was not a formal discussion, so he said respectfully: "Uncle, although I don't know Han Xin, I know Fusu!"
Xiang Liang was surprised: "You know Fusu!?" How is that possible!?" Ground is true. Before Liu Bang raised his army, he was just the king of Yifeng County, how could he get acquainted with important ministers of countries like Fusu!
Liu Bang smiled slightly, and hatefully said the general grievances with Fusu in the past. Then he said in a deep voice: "Back then, with just a few words, Fusu realized that Xiao He and Cao Shen were both talents, so he focused on cultivating them. Later, Xiao He first served as the old Qin Zhili internal history, and then the new Qin Chengxiang, and his ability to govern the country is famous all over the world, and it can be said that it is difficult to produce good talents in a hundred years, so that there is no shortage of food, grass, soldiers, and baggage when Fusu fights. Cao Shen is not only good at unifying the army, but also has a hand in governing the country, when he was reading Nanjun, he appeased the people and developed production, so that the Minyue people all returned to their hearts, and there was no objection; Although he was defeated by our army in Guangling, he only lost because he knew what he had and did not know the other, and he was still a rare talent. At that time, Fusu could see that Bang was dissatisfied with the status quo with only a few words, and he was unwilling to surrender, so he wanted to kill me, if Xiao He hadn't seen Fusu's murderous intentions and secretly sued me at night, I would have died for a long time. Therefore, I was originally very dissatisfied with the destruction of my Chu by the Qin State, and after I had a grudge with Fusu, I was bent on opposing Qin, and after hearing that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had revolted, I also rebelled. It can be seen from this that Fusu's talent for knowing people is probably far more than that of people here such as us, and if he is willing to let Han Xin become the general of the army, then Han Xin will definitely not be an ordinary person, and he must be guarded against!"
"Uh-huh——!" Xiang Liang pondered for a moment, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Liu Bang, listening to your words, it seems that Han Xin should not be underestimated!" Strategist, you inform Guangling to summon the public, guard against Han Xin strictly, don't be careless!" Yes!" Fan Zeng was also thoughtful.
"Strategist, go on!" Good!"
Fan Zeng continued: "In addition, the Southern Xinjiang Army of Fusu is currently confronting the 'Black-Clothed Army' of Zhanghan on the Hangu Line, while the 'Black-Shirted Army' of the Mengtiandi Northern Frontier Army is also fighting against the old Qin Army in Shangdang, and at the same time has the intention of starting a war against the Zhao State. In this way, in the short term, although Fusu has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, it is subject to the old Qin and Zhao States, and it can no longer threaten our army for a while, which is a God-given opportunity for our army to develop!" There is no disagreement on this point.
"As for the Kwantung princes, Zhao is currently worried that the New Qin army will take advantage of the invasion and mobilize the main force to the front line of Taihang, preparing to fight against the New Qin army. Wei was reorganizing his army, observing the situation under him, and thought that there would be changes in the near future. Peng Yue called himself a marquis, stationed troops in Dangjun, and his strength was weak, so I am afraid that he would not be able to make any moves for a while. As for the Qi State, although the strength is strong, there is no need to worry too much now, Tian Tang, the king of Qi, and Tian Rong, Tian Heng, the left and right ministers, are not in harmony, and they are now busy fighting for power and profit, and they are powerless for a while. As for Yandi, now the princes are fighting, it is very chaotic, and it is far away from the Central Plains, so you don't need to think about it. It can be seen from this that the current situation in the Kanto region is very favorable to our Chu country!" Fan Zeng's face was happy, and he was still very satisfied with the current situation.
Xiang Liang saw that Fan Zeng finished speaking, and said with a smile: "The situation in the world is like this, let's take a look at how our army should develop next?"
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yu, who had been silent just now, spoke: "Uncle, judging from the current situation, the new Qin army has the help of the sailor. And Han Xin's strength is unknown, and it is impossible to figure it out, so it should focus on defense. Nanyang, Yingchuan and other places of the new Qin army heavy troops refused, if our army wanted, one is far away, grain and grass transfer is difficult, the other is Jiujiang Xinding, Chen County is not peaceful, and can not be rushed. Among the Kwantung princes, Zhao and Qi have their own troubles, and their strength is strong, so they can't be planned for the time being. Otherwise, a sharp counterattack will be detrimental to our army. In this way, the only places that our army can make at present are Dangjun and Weidi. Neither of these two places are strong, and they are close at hand, so the next step is to find a way to include these two places!" It must be said that Xiang Yu is actually very talented in tactics.
"Well," Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "What Yu'er said is exactly what I want." It's just that at present, we are still allies with Wei, Qi, Zhao and Peng Yue, and we have not torn our faces and are nameless. What can I do?" Fan Zeng thought for a while and said: "At present, the main force of our army is still stabilizing Jiujiang and capturing Chen County, and it is not yet time to capture Dangjun and Wei State, and it is slowly plotting it. Maybe it's a godsend!" Everyone looked at it and nodded.
Suddenly. There was an urgent report from the soldiers outside the house: "General, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the envoy of Peng Yue of Dangjun, and he is in a hurry to see!" Xiang Liang was stunned, and everyone was also surprised. I don't know what the purpose of this Peng Yue's sudden envoy came. After thinking about it, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Please come in!" Whoa!"
After a while, the envoy entered and saluted Xiang Liang and everyone. Xiang Liang invited the envoy to take a seat. He also served warm wine and hot food, and then asked, "I wonder if your envoy suddenly visited today, what advice does the Hou Hou have to offer?"
The messenger hurriedly said: "Liuhou sent the villain to come, but there is a difference in things. About seven or eight days ago, Wei sent someone to send an edict to Liuhou, claiming that Dangjun is the land of Wei, and now Wei has been restored, and the deadline is ten days, and the Marquis must hand over Dangjun, otherwise the army will come to take it. Therefore, Liuhou wants to ask the State of Chu to send troops to help drive away the State of Wei!"
For a while, Xiang Liang and the others couldn't help but be a little stunned: "I just wanted to map Wei and Dangjun, but I was suffering from no chance, such as today's Yizi people, these two places are going to fight by themselves." Xiang Liang was overjoyed in his heart, but there was a look on his face and he said, "This is more difficult." First, the main force of our army is newly set in Jiujiang, and we are going to attack Chen County, and then aid Dangjun, I am afraid that the troops are insufficient, and the grain and grass are not enough to supply; Second, on the surface, the Wei State is also reasonable, and our army is not in the right name and is not in good words, and I am afraid that it will be jealous of the princes, so please return to the Marquis and understand the difficulties of my Chu State!"
Chinese are born to play Tai Chi, and Xiang Liang's hand is also beautiful.
Seeing that Xiang Liang really shouldn't, the envoy smiled bitterly in his heart, so he had to get rid of the luck mentality and put the hole cards to the debut of the hole: "The land in the world is only inhabited by virtuous people, how can there be a fixed number!?" Dangjun was taken by me from the hands of the Qin army, not from the Wei State, and now the Wei State asked me to hand it over, which is purely unreasonable, and it is really an advantage to deceive others! Since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang went, only the Chu State was the most powerful among the Kwantung heroes, and General Xiang should uphold justice, how could he excuse himself!? Now that the matter is urgent, my family Liuhou has a saying, if General Xiang is willing to send troops to help, Liuhou is willing to dedicate Dangjun to the Chu State, and only ask General Xiang to help Liuhou punish the greedy and shameless Wei State!"
"Horn!" The people of Chu State present almost dropped their jaws in shock: "I was trying to plot against Wei and Dangjun, but this Dangjun sent it to the door by itself, and gave a very good reason to start a war with Wei, isn't this a good thing that pie fell from the sky!?" Fan Zeng was ecstatic, his ruddy face was even more bloody, and he hurriedly glanced at Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang is such a smart person, of course he will understand, his tone changed, and he said in a righteous manner: "What your envoy said is very true! The bones of the two alliance leaders of Chen and Wu are not cold, and our righteous army is about to inherit his legacy and work together to resist the Qin army, but it is unforgivable that the Wei State does not pay attention to faith and righteousness, and wants to kill each other. Now, the State of Zhao is being pressed by the new Qin army, and the State of Qi is in civil strife, and our State of Chu is the one who should uphold justice and violate justice. Please rest assured that Xiang immediately sent an envoy to Daliang to question Wei and order him to withdraw his troops. As for the matter of surrendering, if my Chu State is afraid that it will be suspected of taking advantage of others' danger, let's discuss it again. Haha!" As the saying goes: The official word has two mouths, how quickly this beam changes his face!
The envoy would never take Xiang Liang's polite words seriously, and said with a sincere face: "It's not right for General Xiang to say this!" Since the beginning of the army, General Xiang has been invincible and invincible, and he is a hero admired by all the people in the world. My family has been admired for a long time, although I know that I am not talented, I have long had the intention of serving. Why is the sky not beautiful, there has been no time, and now is a good opportunity. Under the command of the general. If General Xiang can see and fight side by side with the general to punish the Wei thief, my family will definitely be overjoyed. This is what you and I want, who dares to say that the general is in danger!? I'm too worried, I'm too worried!"
Xiang Liang was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, and said with a sense of embarrassment: "Since Liuhou is so sincere, then Xiang Liang accepts the surrender of Liuhou on behalf of the Chu State." After the major event is decided, Xiang will inevitably report to the king of Chu. Treat the Marquis well!"
The messenger said: "General Xiang, there is one more thing. The general sent an envoy to Wei to reprimand him to withdraw his troops, and if he could allow it, it would be the best; If it is not allowed, how can I last for a long time if I have few soldiers in Dangjun!? Moreover, the ten-day period is about to pass, and I am afraid that if the villain returns to stay in the marquis, the Wei State will send troops to attack. In this way, if the general is a little slow to send reinforcements. I'm afraid that Dangjun is in danger of destruction. Therefore, he asked the general to urgently send envoys to Wei while quickly mobilizing troops and horses. If you hear the news that Wei has sent troops, you can send reinforcements at any time!"
Xiang Liang nodded when he heard this. Xin said: "At this time, Dangjun is already the territory of my Chu State, how can you allow Wei Guoliang to point out!?" Immediately, he said: "Your envoy rest assured, please hurry back to stay in Hou, just say that Xiang has quickly mobilized reinforcements in Pengcheng." It's just a few days away! Well, in this case, I'll write a letter and hand it over to your envoy to bring back!" said. Xiang Liang hurriedly wrote a letter of silk and handed it to the messenger, and then said with a smile: "Your envoy has worked hard from afar, why don't you rest for one night today and come back tomorrow?"
The envoy hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the military situation is urgent, we can't delay, thank General Xiang for his kindness, and I'll leave immediately!" Then let's do it, Xiang Yu, you arrange a hundred light horsemen to escort the envoy to the foot of Mangzhu Mountain and back!" Xiang Liang was very polite. "Whoa!" Xiang Liang also nodded happily.
"Thank you General Xiang for your kindness, that villain has taken his leave!"
"Your Excellency, please!" Xiang Yu got up to send him off.
"Major General, please!" The messenger did not dare to hold it up.
After watching the messenger leave, there was a sudden burst of laughter in the room, and everyone thundered with joy and shouted Providence!
Xiang Liang said with a smile: "God bless me Dachu, if I can successfully obtain Dangjun and Wei Land, then the strength of my Chu State will definitely crown Guandong, that is, to help Su pacify Guanzhong and attack with the strength of the country, what are you afraid of!" Now as long as the envoy to Wei is ordered to slow down all the way, he can sit on the momentum of Wei's attack, and then Peng Yue and Wei will be unable to stop, and their strength will be frustrated. And it can also weaken Peng Yue's power, so that he will not lose his tail in the future! It's ridiculous that Peng Yue still wants me to fight to the death with the Wei State, but he preserves his strength!" The generals laughed and praised together.
Xiang Bo, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Second brother, if our army attacks Wei, the main force will inevitably be exhausted, and if Han Xin suddenly goes north out of the Yangtze River, what can I do?" Xiang Liang was stunned and looked at Fan Zeng, Fan Zeng smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, the war in Chen County will soon be quelled, and then you can order Long You to lead the troops south and guard Jiujiang Linhuai." If Han Xin commits a crime in the north, he can make Long and lead troops to help summon the public to refuse! With the talent of the dragon, you should be able to worry!"
Xiang Bo thought about it, but he didn't quite believe that Han Xinyi's yellow-haired child would be more powerful than a dragon, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Liu Bang thoughtfully turned back to the mansion, called his own soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Go, please General Fan and General Cao, and send someone to inform Mr. Chen to come to discuss matters!" Whoa!" The soldier answered, and hurried away.
Just as Liu Bang was pacing back and forth indoors, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Lord, what are you waiting for me?" Liu Bang looked back and saw that it was his henchman Fan Hao who let Cao Wu unharmed, and said with a busy smile: "Here, sit down, I have a request to discuss with you and others!"
Fan Xu, tall, black-faced and bearded, Pei County slaughtered pigs and dogs, brave. Later, Liu Bang raised troops in Feng County, north of Pei County, and Fan Xu threw himself into it. Because of his fierce combat and loyal nature, Liu Bang regarded him as a confidant.
Cao is uninjured, a warrior in the mountains. It is tall and has long arms and a strong physique, especially its blue face and red eyes, which are surprising to those who see it. This person is not only strong in martial arts. And quite capable of using soldiers. is loyal to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang is also a general in the hinterland.
The second general sat down and looked at Liu Bang. Liu Bang smiled: "Wait a minute, Mr. Chen Nan said!" As soon as the words fell, a young man smiled and said, "The lord summoned me today, it seems that there must be something big!" Liu Bang looked back, this person was handsome, with big earlobe wheels, a straight nose and a straight mouth, and he looked elegant, but his eyes were foggy and deep, which was difficult to see, it was the military advisor Chen Ping.
Chen Pingnai protects ##人 in Yangwu County, Henan. He studied hard since he was a child and was famous in the township. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, Chen Ping, who was dissatisfied with the Qin State, wanted to take refuge with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but before he arrived in Nanyang, he heard that Fusu had returned to the Central Plains, and Chen Sheng transferred Zhou Wen and Zhou City back to defend Nanyang, knowing that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would be defeated, so he wanted to go elsewhere. Soon, I heard that Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were shocked and admired the two as the descendants of famous generals. I gladly came to vote. I didn't think that Lie Xiangliang couldn't see Chen Ping's talent at all, and he didn't want to use it, but Liu Bang knew people with good eyes and thought that Chen Ping had great talent, so he asked Xiang Liang for Chen Ping as his staff, and Xiang Liang didn't allow it, so Chen Ping was under Liu Bang's command. Since he came to Liu Bang's command, Liu Bang has been obedient to Chen Ping and very kind. Chen Ping has since returned to his heart and assisted Liu Bang wholeheartedly, of course. Chen Ping didn't like the Xiang clan very much in his heart.
"Sir is here, please take a seat!" Liu Bang hurriedly put on a smiling face. A warm welcome.
Chen Ping didn't shirk it, so he sat down opposite Fan Hao and Cao Wuxian.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Bang waved his hand, and the soldiers arched their hands. And he withdrew.
"Today's deliberation is just a good opportunity, maybe it is a good opportunity for us to grow our power!" Liu Bang also sat down and explained in detail what he was discussing today. Then he said, "What do you think about this?"
Fan Xu smiled and said: "Fan will never shirk the matter of charging into battle, but this brain-using matter, the lord still asks General Cao and Mr. Chen!" As he spoke, he drank to himself.
Liu Bang also knew that Fan Xu was a brave general and did not know how to strategize, so he looked at Cao Wushu and Chen Ping.
Cao Wuxian thought for a while and said: "The lord has always been unwilling under Xiang Liang, and it is difficult to hold power, although he is a brother with Xiang Yu, but Xiang Liang has always been on guard against the lord. This attack on Wei is a good opportunity, if you can win the position of commander of the army, you can cultivate your cronies, grasp military power, and maybe even divide Wei and make a comeback!"
Liu Bang's eyes lit up, and suddenly darkened again, and said with a wry smile: "Xiang Liang has always been very strict with me, how can he let me command the troops!?" Chen Ping smiled at this time: "Why should the lord worry, if you want to take this opportunity to grasp the military power, it is just a gesture for a certain person!"
Liu Bang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Great, please teach me sir!" Chen Ping said with a smile: "Long He is leading the troops to fight outside, and he will soon go south to Linhuai, so it is impossible for Long He to command the battle site of Wei." And Xiang Liang's command, except for Long and can take charge alone, the rest are ordinary people and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of attacking Wei. Therefore, if nothing else, it can only be Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew who commanded the battle against Wei.
However, now the situation in the court of Chu is also relatively delicate, and Song Yi, the general of the Xia Zhu State, and Huan Chu, the general of the Pi State, are quite dissatisfied with Xiang Liang's sole control of power and control of the government, and they have been fighting openly and secretly. Under such circumstances, Xiang Liang must be worried that after he leaves, Song Yi and Huan Chu may have some changes, so it is unlikely that he will come out in person this time. Then the candidate for the command of the Wei campaign this time is very clear, it must be Xiang Yu! However, if Xiang Yu has some accidents at this time, then the person who commands the troops must be the master!" As he spoke, a hint of sinister color flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.
Although Liu Bang was overjoyed when he heard this, he hesitated a little and said: "It's just that Xiang Yu and a certain are sworn brothers, how can they harm him!?" And if it leaks, my life will be suspended!" Chen Ping smiled disappreciatively: "There are many things in the world that worship this kind of worship, how many can there really be!?" I think that the lord at that time was just to protect himself under Xiang Liang! And this time the intention is not to plot to kill Xiang Yu, but just to trip him!"
"Oh!" At this time, Liu Bang was relieved, and hurriedly asked, "What is the good plan for that gentleman?" A sneer flashed at the corner of Chen Ping's mouth and said: "Isn't that Xiang Yu so in love with the woman named Yu Ji now, alas, I have also seen that Yu Ji, she looks really beautiful, I feel pitiful!" Cao Wuxian and Fan Xu were also fascinated when they heard it, and their faces were related. Liu Bang was even more hungry, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said: "That Xiang Yu is really a blessing, such a good-looking beauty actually fell in love with him!"
Chen Ping continued: "If that Yu Ji suddenly falls ill at this time, do you think that Xiang Yu still has the heart to go on the expedition!?" Chen Ping had a meaningful look on his face.
Liu Bang realized, he laughed for a while, raised his thumb and praised: "Gao, Mr. is really strange!"
Chen Ping was also a little proud, and said with a smile: "But just putting down that Yu Ji is not enough to make the lord really the one who commands the army, and there are still two more jobs to do." First, after Yu Ji fell ill, the lord had to visit him often, bring some good tonics to get rid of the illness, and make Xiang Yuyi affectionate. In this way, Xiang Yu will inevitably intercede in front of Xiang Liang after he has no intention of going on the expedition. Second, the lord immediately secretly visited Song Yi and Huan Chu, gave heavy salutes, and vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Liang and had the intention of taking refuge in the two, so that after all, the lord had more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, so Song Yi and Huan Chu must be happy, and when Xiang Liang asked the king of Chu to order the lord to be the general of the army, these two people would not object! And so, it's done!"
Chen Ping is worthy of being a 'conspirator' alongside Zhang Liang, and his mind is really dense and vicious!
Liu Bang was overjoyed and said: "Great, Bang can have Mr. to help, it is really a blessing in life!" By the way, how can you make that Yu Ji suddenly fall ill without arousing the suspicion of others? However, don't kill the beauty, keep this beauty, this feather will have a death hole for the rest of your life!" Liu Bang is also insidious enough.
Chen Ping smiled slightly and said: "This carving insect is a small skill ear, and it is handed over to Chen Ping to ensure that it is proper." The lord is still ready to take tonics, and he is ready to settle Xiang Yu, Song Yi, and Huan Chu!" Liu Bang nodded, and at this time he was relieved, and hurriedly raised the wine glass in front of him and said: "If Bang can achieve great things in the future, with the help of the three of them, I will never forget it!" Fill this cup!" Chen Ping and the three of them didn't dare to slack off, so they drank it all and then laughed.
Within a few days, Yu Ji fell ill, Xiang Yu was anxious, and Liu Bang, who visited and delivered medicine, won Xiang Yu's trust.
Looking at Xiang Yu, who had no intention of fighting, Xiang Liang had no choice but to turn his gaze to Liu Bang, indeed, at present, except for Liu Bang, there is no one under Xiang Liang who can take charge of the talent alone. As a result, under the impetus of Xiang Yu, Song Yi, and Huan Chu, Liu Bang successfully mastered the military power. However, that Liang also guarded against Liu Bang, and sent his henchmen Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun to Liu Bang as deputy generals, although Liu Bang knew it, he was helpless!
After a short time, the Chu envoy who was staggering all the way was far from reaching Daliang, and the news came that Wei Bao personally led 80,000 Wei troops to attack Dangjun. Xiang Liang did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Liu Bang to lead 70,000 elites to set off westward to reinforce Dangjun and destroy the Wei State together.
Along the way, Liu Bang adopted Chen Ping's strategy, traveled day and night, and suddenly sneaked out of Mangzhuan Mountain ten days later, and appeared under Dangjun City like a divine soldier descending from the sky. The Wei army was caught off guard, and was exhausted after besieging Dangjun for seven or eight days, and was then flanked by Liu Bangjun and Peng Yue's army, and suddenly collapsed, with less than 20,000 of the 80,000 Wei troops left, and fled back to Wei in the starry night.
Liu Bang naturally refused to give up, and led the army and Peng Yue to pursue all the way and kill the Wei State. And the Chu envoy, who was looking at the limelight all the way, heard that Liu Bang had won a great victory and was marching into Wei, so he immediately turned around and fled back to Pengcheng.
