For Xiang Yu, his biggest wish now is to defeat Liu Kan.

Not only because Liu Kan is his biggest enemy, but also because it contains the dignity of a warrior. The battle under Loucang City has become a piece of Xiang Yu's heart. The most proud bravery in his life is that he can only win by sneak attacks. It's a shame.

But he also knows that Liu Kan is no longer the Liu Kan of the Loucang back then, and he is not the former Xiang.

The two had to fight it out after all, but it wasn't necessarily the kind of duel he imagined. So. After Xiang Ji ascended to the throne of the king of Chu, he learned that Liu Kan had arrived in Luoyang, and immediately led his troops to Jiyang. He wants to be here and have another duel with Liu Kan.

Michi failed to do so, so let's fight in Daliang City!

Xiang Ji's thoughts, Fan Zeng is very clear.

From the bottom of his heart, Fan Zeng didn't want to fight Liu Kan so soon.

The reason... Liu Kan went out from Hangu Kanto. Almost without blood, he took Heluo, and then got the three counties of Yingchuan Chen County and Nanyang, and the momentum was like a rainbow. Morale is high. And what about the state of Chu? First, the king of Chu was killed. Xiang Yu made a detour for thousands of miles, although he killed Wei Bao. But the vitality hurts. In addition, there have been changes in the Sanqi war. The Chu army is now equivalent to facing two enemies at the same time, and a decisive battle at this time will not be beneficial to the Chu state.

According to Fan Zeng's intentions, Xiang Yu should steadily stock up on Surabaya County and Dang County, withdraw Dubu Chaiwu from the chaos of Sanqi as soon as possible, and join forces in one place. Then he stuck to Surabaya, sent troops to attack Chen County, and found a way to contact Wu Rui, the monarch stationed in Changsha, to gain a firm foothold in Jiangbei. Of course, if you can take the opportunity to take Nanyang and eliminate the Tang army and horses in Yiling, it will be a wonderful ending.

Fan Zeng also knew that it would not be easy to capture Nanyang and eliminate the Yiling Tang army.

But at least it can stop the Tang army in the southwest of Yiling. For Xiang Yu to stabilize the situation, it is very good.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu didn't follow Fan Zeng's advice.

However, he also knew the importance of holding on to Dangjun. Therefore, Cao Zhi was ordered to retreat to Suiyang, no matter what the situation, he must not be able to hold out.

After holding Dangjun, even if Xiang Yu's flank is stabilized, he can better fight Liu Kan.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, Liu Kanbing is in the beam!

After two years of war, the ancient capital has become more dilapidated.

The river is surging and flows around the girders. The Wei State Daxu on the head of the city has long disappeared, replaced by gold characters on a red background, embroidered with a white dragon battle flag, hunting in the wind. The King of Wei, accompanied by Prime Minister Zhou Shi, went out of Daliang City to welcome Liu Kan's arrival.

King Wei was a ten-year-old child named Wei Mao, who was pale and looked very frightened.

Zhou Shi stood next to him, comforting softly.

Don't look at King Wei's age, but he has also experienced a lot of ups and downs. From the king of Wei to the king, he is the proud son of the sky, and then the king of Wei is to blame, and Wei Bao ascends the throne, he is no longer concerned. Wei Bao died, and he became the king of Wei, but before he could sit on that throne, he had to surrender to Tang Mu. These many experiences have made Wei Mao more mature than her peers. He also knew that in terms of the current situation, surrendering the Tang State was undoubtedly the best choice, after all, between the Wei State and the Chu State, the enmity was as deep as the sea.

But he was still very afraid, afraid that after surrendering, he would be killed inexplicably.

Fortunately, Zhou Shi was by his side and had been comforting. Otherwise, when Wei Mao saw Liu Kan's first glance. It's inevitable to feel fear.

It is no wonder that Liu Kan is nearly tall and majestic.

He is nearly thirty years old, wearing a bright yellow robe, and walks with a vigorous and vicious atmosphere.

Wei Mao prostrate under the city gate, saying long live.

Liu Kan didn't mean to underestimate him. took a step forward, helped Wei Mao up, then took his hand and boarded the chariot together.

This small move immediately caused the Liang people to breathe a sigh of relief.

You must know that the contradictions and hatred between the Wei people and Guanzhong are not shallow.

Not to mention anything else, after Wang Ben flooded Daliang, the first thing was to carry out a bloody massacre of Daliang, which is still vivid in my mind.

Liu Kan's move also shows that he will not sacrifice a butcher's knife to the people of Daliang.

In the palace of the king of Wei, Zhou Shi led the ministers of Wei to pay three bows and nine bows to Liu Kan, and then held a grand banquet.

After the banquet, Liu Kan summoned Zhou Shi alone. Ask about the girders.

Overall, the condition of the girders is fairly stable. Before Wei Bao was whipped, Chu was eyeing the tiger. The Liang people were really worried for a while. But with the occupation of Heluo by the Tang State, after the King of Wei asked the Tang State to surrender and was granted, the people's hearts have gradually stabilized.

In the past five years, Daliang has been repeatedly baptized by war, and the people of Daliang seem to have become accustomed to this kind of change of dynasty.

Zhou Shi said: "I don't know how Your Majesty will settle the King of Wei?" ”

This is a very important question, and if Liu Kan cannot properly settle the King of Wei, it is inevitable that there will be some minor troubles. And the big war will be temporary. Liu Kan obviously didn't want that to happen.

"Sao has two plans, and Mr. Zhou can choose one of them."

Liu Kan said: "King Wei can go to the salty official signature macho man four dishes to lie down and upload."

Yang, worthy of enjoying the same as Zhao Wangxie; Or go to Luoyang, you can also get the title of duke. What does the prime minister think? ”

Go to Xianyang, there is no base point freedom.

Staying in Luoyang, there is also no freedom, but relatively speaking, it will be easier.

In Liu Kan's thoughts, he hoped that Wei Mao's visit to Luoyang could to a certain extent have the effect of stabilizing the hearts of the people of the old Wei State.

But Zhou City chose to go to Xianyang for King Wei.

Although the environment in Luoyang will be relaxed, the danger will be relatively increased.

Wei Mao is still a child, if someone with ill intentions takes the opportunity to instigate, once something happens, he will lose his head.

Zhou Shi felt the favor of Wei Wangjiao, and although he surrendered to the Tang State, he also hoped to keep Wei Qi's bloodline and let Wei Mao I have no worries.

Staying in Xianyang, even if Wei Mao grows up, it is impossible for him to have any special ideas.

As long as Wei Mao is honest, he can live a long life, and maybe his children and grandchildren will prosper......

"Now that the gentleman has made up his mind, then follow what the gentleman says."

In this way, Liu Kan recognized Zhou Shi's choice and agreed that three days later, Zhou Shi would accompany Wei Wangmao to Xianyang together.

How to arrange a weekly market? Liu Kan has not yet decided.

Zhou Shi's ability is not bad, otherwise it would be impossible to become a Wei State as a domestic slave.

Of course, there are reasons for the withering of Wei itself, but it is undeniable that for many years, it is precisely by relying on Zhou City that Wei has survived left and right. Zhou Shi was well versed in the art of war, but he was not good at combat; Knows the strategy, but not the thoroughness; Able to handle government affairs, but it is difficult to be comprehensive; There are also eloquent talents, such as Kuaicher 6 Jia and others. Obviously, there is still a big gap.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Shi is all good, and everything is not fine.

Such a person is difficult to take charge of alone, and he can be discarded, but it is a pity.

What's more, as a minister of Wei, he has the credit of dedicating the city, if he can't be properly settled. It will chill the hearts of the subordinates and generals.

Liu Kan thought about it and decided to temporarily appoint Zhou Shi as the chief historian to assist Xiao He.

The long history is not in the sequence of the three princes and nine secretaries, but it is the long history of the prime minister, the prime minister's government affairs, and the prime minister. Not high, not low, but also suitable for the identity of Zhou City. The most important thing is that Zhou City is under Xiao He's control, and it is unlikely that there will be any major mistakes.

For Liu Kan's arrangement, Zhou Shi also gladly accepted it.

After sending Zhou City away, Liu Kan's attention was focused on the military.

He still takes Zhang Liang as his military advisor and sets up his main beams. Under Zhang Liang's advice, Liu Kan dispatched troops and made a posture of wanting a decisive battle with Xiang Yu. Let Meng Ke occupy Chenliu first, and then personally lead the army to Linji, facing Xiang Yuge on the old road of the Yellow River.

For a time, the Central Plains was rekindled.

When he went to Kan to row the river, the happiest person was not the commander of the Tang army, but Xiang Yu of Jiyang.

As soon as Liu Kan set up camp here, Xiang Yu sent an envoy to the Tang army camp and proposed to meet Liu Kan in Humu.

The original refers to the pane.

However, Xiang Yu refers to the northeast of Lankao in the later generations, the turning point of the Yellow River, which is located between Linji and Jiyang.

"Xiang Ji wants to set up wine at the house, invite me to the banquet?"

Liu Kan held Xiang Yu's handwritten letter in his hand and looked at Chen Ping and Zhang Liang suspiciously, "The second prince thinks, should I go to the banquet?" ”

Chen Ping took the letter and glanced at it twice. Silent in thought.

Zhang Liang said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty cannot agree. ”

"Oh?"

"The big war is about to start, Xiang Ji invites His Majesty at this time, I'm afraid it is not good.

If he takes the opportunity to set up an ambush in the banquet. If you plot against Your Majesty, our army will definitely shake its heart. There is no good banquet, and Your Majesty must not guard against it. ”

Liu Kan thought for a while, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't have much contact with Xiang Ji, but I also know him well.

This person has the spirit of a chivalrous man and will not make small tricks. However, although I believe in the book, I don't believe in Fan Zeng...... If you don't go to this banquet, you will be laughed at by the Chu people; But to go...... Well, don't be unguarded! Daozi, do you think I should go or shouldn't go? ”

Chen Ping pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty's words are true. If you don't go, you will be laughed at by Xiang Ji, thinking that our army is cowardly, and I am afraid that it will be bad for morale; But if you go, what the ovary says can't be ignored. If it's really a banquet, it's fine, but if it's Fan Zeng's plan, I'm afraid it will happen. ”

He looked up, "This matter is well handled. Maybe you can break off an arm; But if it is not handled well, it may put His Majesty in danger. ”

How do you feel about the meeting of the household, like a Hongmen banquet?

Liu Kan understood what Chen Ping meant.

If it's a banquet, it's okay to say. But if Fan Zeng participates in it, it is inevitable that there will be accidents. But there are two sides to everything, and with the nature of the item, he generally does not use intrigues. If Fan Zeng really has ill intentions, it is also an opportunity to separate the two. After all, at this time, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng did not have much contradiction. Relying solely on Chen Ping spreading rumors may not be able to make Xiang Yu fall for the scheme.

In other words, the meeting of Tomoyuki may become a good opportunity for the two to separate.

But this scale must be mastered, otherwise the discord will not be successful, but it will make Liu Kan fall into it.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping didn't dare to make up their minds for Liu Kan. Because if there is danger, it will cause great disaster......

Liu Kan frowned and pondered.

After a while, he suddenly got up and said, "I have made up my mind, regardless of whether there is an ambush in Xiang Ji or not, I will go to Humu and meet him." Otherwise. Laughing at him in vain will reduce the morale of the soldiers. I want to see what Xiang Ji's idea is. ”
