Prisoner Chapter 358 A Game of Chess (7)

The sun shines obliquely. {p shrouds the pool in a blood-red. }

Liu ascended the city tower. Look into the distance. The eyes unconsciously narrowed into a line. Then he exhaled a strong breath of turbidity.

The hundreds of thousands of people were by no means the result of his light cavalry raids. In the midst of the chaos, the battle of taking the rank of general can be compared.

In fact. Liu is better at leading by example. Charge into battle. And for commanding hundreds of thousands of people to fight. Experience is relatively lacking. Think about it. It also has something to do with his experience. Since he was born. Whether it is the bloody battle of Zhaoyang Daze. Or later led more than 10,000 cavalry troops. Gallop thousands of miles. Defeat Liu Bang. It all depends on the word "potential". Rise from the situation. Yielded. But if you want to command a large-scale campaign. Liu is slightly worse.

So. Before the start of the pool university. He gave the seal to Liang. Later generations often said. Zhang Liang has a strategic plan. But he ignored Zhang Liang's command ability. In fact. Before Han Xin did not take refuge in Liu Bang. Zhang Liang also personally commanded soldiers and horses. Only later. Due to Zhang Liang's physical reasons. So he retreated into the background. It has also achieved "Han Xin's soldiers." The more the merrier".

As for Zhang Liang's body. When is it wrong?

Liu is not always clear. However, judging from Zhang Liangqian's condition. There was nothing wrong with his body.

And. Zhang Liang just surrendered. It is necessary to establish merit. So when Liu delegated military power. Zhang Liang did not refuse.

Soldiers and horses transferred from Hangu Pass. More and more.

Especially when the Bashu army of the Lantian battalion. After a temporary rest, he quickly went into battle. It also made Liu have sufficient troops in his hands. The shape of the guanzhong,. Flattening out. After a bumper autumn. Xianyang has plenty of grain and grass.

Xiao He took over government affairs. make various matters. It's going on in an orderly way.

Baman, on the other hand, continued to sit in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The little princess who was stranded in the middle won the fruit. And pay attention to the changes in the situation in Guanzhong.

Arguably. Liu at this time. There are no worries anymore.

Most of the time. He mainly watched the battle at Chichengtou, watching Zhang Liang command the men and horses to stalemate with Chu Xiang's men and horses.

In just ten days, the two sides have had more than ten fronts. Judging by the scene. Zhang sticks to it. It seems to be slightly at a disadvantage.

And Chu Xiang has the upper hand. But it didn't take much of a bargain. In short, between the ten days. Both sides have their own tricks. Liu Jin watched with relish.

"I didn't think of it. The ovary has this ability. Liu suddenly turned his head. He smiled at one of the generals standing behind him.

The general bowed his head lower than Liu. The body is burly and strong, with a beard under the jaw and a leopard's head and eyes. None other than Fan.

How can there be pools?

This starts with Liu He's conversation. That day, Liu talked to Fan in the prison of the Ancestral Dragon Temple, and then stopped paying attention to him. And Fan also moved. But I always feel that I followed Liu's military merits first. took refuge in Liu Bang again. also forced Xiao He to rebel. Now Liu Bang is dead. He should go with Liu Bang. If you take refuge in Liu. Isn't it a generation of Chao Qin and Twilight?

I didn't expect it. He did not surrender. Zhang Liang surrendered to Liu.

Thereafter. When Xiao He arrived in Xianyang. Again. Ling Fan moved his mind.

With Liu seizing the Shaanxi County Pool. Fan finally made up his mind. He knows it well. If he doesn't keep up with Liu's footsteps at this time. There will be no more opportunities to follow. To Liu Bang. He has done his duty. Now. He had to think for himself.

Fan, after figuring it out. Pass Xiao He immediately. He expressed his intention to submit to Liu.

Liu was very happy. Fan was appointed as General Wei. Take charge of the Forbidden Army. Although it is basically the same as the position under Liu Bang at the beginning. But the meaning is completely different. This is Liu's trust in him. The Forbidden Army was responsible for keeping Liu safe. That's the same as the Guards. For a man who has just returned. Liu handed over his safety to Fan. What kind of trust is that?

Listen to Liu. Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"If you talk about formation strategy. I've never seen a few people who can pass Mr. Ovary.

I heard it before. When Mr. Zifang took refuge in Xiapi. Zeng's immortals taught six volumes of military books. There are unpredictable powers. It's just that. If it weren't for the king's destiny. I'm afraid of this moment. But that's all it can be. It's not like a king. I can't make Mr. Zhang do his best. ”

Halfway through the conversation. Fan immediately woke up to his speech sickness.

If it weren't for the people who ruled Guanzhong now. I'm afraid it should be Liu Bang.

Liu didn't care.

He would have been an outlier if it weren't for his appearance. Maybe Liu Bang has already made an appointment in Guanzhong to make a good show of the Nahongmen banquet with Xiang Yu. Not now. I'm afraid the Hongmen banquet won't be staged. But what happens next?

It's not that Liu can grasp it.

The corrective power of history. It can no longer be effective. Even Han Xin became Xiang Yu's subordinate. What will it look like in the future? Liu really doesn't know.

"Butcher. Your mouth is getting sweeter. Hehe. When in Pei County. You're not as good at talking as you are now. ”

Liu's words. Ling was relieved. At the same time, there was a hint of bitterness.

Followed Liu Bang for several years. No merit has been established. But he learned to slap the horse. But if it weren't. How could he make Liu Bang believe in himself?

Sometimes. This person can not change. It's just that the price is too great.

Rumbling war drums. It's stopped.

After a noon battle between the Chu army and the Tang army. Once again, the two sides withdrew their troops.

From the camp of the Don army outside the city. A team of men and horses galloped in. In the center is a chariot. Standing in the car. It was Zhang Liang.

Liu hurriedly led the crowd down from the city. Welcome Zhang Liang into the city.

"Sir, these days. But it's hard work. ”

Zhang Liang looked slightly tired. But mentally it's pretty good.

He bowed slightly. Shen Sheng said: "The king judging from the attack strength of the Chu army today. I'm afraid that the Luoyang side will not be able to support it for long.

If Liang is not wrong, there will be more than ten days. The Chu army was afraid that it would be withdrawn.

Go back to the city today. I want to ask the king.

If the Chu army retreats. What are the king's plans? It's a chase of victory. What about conquering Luoyang? Or maybe it's a sticking pool. It is bounded by the West Mountain. Divide and conquer? ”

Liu

Carve. "As far as the gentleman sees. When is it good? ”

"If the king wants to take Luoyang. It's not that hard.

Now the Chu army is probably also fighting for the food and grass of the millions of people in Sanchuan, and the king only needs to drag the Chu army until the three Qi are in chaos and Xiang Yu is in a hurry to withdraw the army. It can be easily captured by Luoyang. After taking Luoyang. The king can be in the north of Hanoi and the south of Yingchuan. Just like that. The king is bound to carry the burden of a million people. If one is inappropriate. It is bound to cause chaos.

But if it's not the sun. After the Chu army pacified Sanqi in the coming year. I want to take it again. I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Zhang Liang did not answer Liu's question. It's just going to be analyzed.

Liu closed his eyes.

With Guanzhong's current weak strength, it is necessary to accommodate a million people at once, and to solve the food rations of these people. It's no small thing.

If you don't get it right, it will connect the whole Guanzhong. There is a possibility of famine.

But if you don't take over. It's the same as putting a million people. All of a sudden, all abandoned. Liu couldn't bear it either.

It's not just a matter of kindness or not. In ancient times, it was a population that was fought against a single population. The allure of a population of more than a million. For Liu is equally huge.

"Butcher. You set up people to go to Guanzhong. Please tell Mr. Sieau. Ask him to settle 1.5 million stone grain and grass. Be sure to do so within a month. Arrived in Luoyang. ”

This sentence. It is also equivalent to indicating Liu's state.

For a million people. One and a half million stone grain and grass is not too much. But it can solve the urgent need.

But for Xiao He. It was also a test for him by Liu. In just one month. Gather enough for this abundance of food and grass. It's not an easy thing to do. And in fact. This one hundred and fifty stones of grain and grass is just the beginning. More will be demanded in the future.

"A month of time. Wouldn't it be too short? ”

Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning. He said softly: "There is a big chaos in the Guanzhong economy. Gather so much food and grass at once. I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Mr. Zhang is relieved. Xiao Sheng will definitely be able to arrive. ”

"That being the case. Then retire first. Get ready to arrange what's next. ”

Zhang Liang said. Get up and leave.

Liu Zishou was in the palace. Flip through the official documents sent from Guanzhong. And one of them that caught his attention the most. It's the trend of the little princess to win.

It can be seen. Yingguo has been in Hanzhong for ten days. There was no movement.

That's what it says. Winguo already knows that the general trend is gone. But the reason why there is no further action. But it's still waiting.

Liu didn't know what she was looking at. But there is a faint thing in my heart. I felt a hint of restlessness. He wrote a letter that night. Send someone to Xianyang overnight. The contents of the letter. Also very clear. Tell Barman. Don't let your eye on your winnings come to fruition.

The next two days. The advance rate of the Chu army. of less.

Zhang Liang simply stopped fighting. Close the camp gates. Only a small number of cavalry troops were sent. Constant harassment. Maintain the pressure on the Chu army. There are fewer shouts to kill. After more than ten days of hard fighting. A relatively calm stalemate phase was entered.

this day. Liu was accompanied by Zhang Liang. Patrolling the barracks. I heard the sergeant's report. The Chu army sent an emissary. Ask to see Liu.

"Xiang Yu sent someone at this time. What is the meaning? ”

Liu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhang Liang was also stunned. Immediately, a look of realization appeared. Laughing: "King." Xiang Yu's thoughts. Liang has a general understanding. But. The king is not to come before him at this time. It's better to come forward and call someone. If the king is interested. Let's take a look. ”

Liu thought for a moment. Point ideographic.

So he hid behind the screen of the Chinese army's big tent. Listen to the movement in the tent. "In the name of the General. Come and write a war letter to the king of Tang. "After the envoy of the Chu army entered the big tent. Shows his intentions.

Zhang Liang took the battle book. Ten lines of glances. "What do you mean. Is it to decide the winner with a fighter? ”

"Not bad. The general is a heroic man in the world. Brave and famous.

I heard that King Tang was also a brave man. Therefore, he ordered to come down and issue a war letter. Fight the Tang King.

The general said. If the king of Tang is gone. He was willing to withdraw to Luoyang; But if the king of Tang is defeated. then to give up Chishan County. Return to Hangu Pass. So. It can also reduce the loss of children. The general said. Tang Chuerlang. All heroic people. It's a pity to have lost some of the dead and wounded. ”

of out. This envoy did not know about Liu and Xiang Yu.

Opened the general. Shut up the general. If Xiang Yu is as invincible as a god. Look at its accent. It was only after the Battle of Julu that Xiang Yu was surrendered. If it weren't for that. He wouldn't be like that. Liu listened to it after the tent. I couldn't help but snicker.

Zhang Liang laughed loudly. "I heard that Xiang Ji is a heroic man in the world. But I don't want to be a naïve and incompetent person.

Soldiers. The major affairs of the country are also. He is the great thing of the nation. Is it a child's play? Not to mention anything else. The king of my family is destined by heaven. You are the king of a country. Xiang Ji is just a lackey of the King of Chu. What are the skills. Why do you want the king of the family to fight with him?

Amusing. It's ridiculous.

There is no one in the Chu State. actually let this hairy baby come out to lead the battle. It's just a fluke that wins a few times. There is no one in sight.

The Great War. It's not my king's fault. It was the state of Chu that provoked the dispute. Go back and tell your furry baby. If you have the ability. Just call. I'm up and down the Don Army. Waiting for him to come to his death. Someone's coming. Cut the nose of this impudent fellow. Drive out of the camp. ”

Liu listened to these words. Nod your head slightly.

In selfish selfishness. He desperately hoped to compete with Xiang Yu again.

However, he also made a difference. This is a great thing for the country. If it is to fight in the future, the winner will be decided. It's a bit too child's play. Besides. He is going to drag the Chu army. Instead of having to fight Xiang Yu. Judging by the current state of affairs. It's not yet time for a decisive battle. After Zhang Liang drove the messenger. Liu walked out from behind the screen.

He chuckled softly, "Mr. Zhang." The item is just. Extremely face-saving people. You cut his face like this today. How could he give up? ”

Zhang Liang listened. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
