Chapter 354: Fighting Xingyang with Wisdom
Liu Bang nodded after hearing this, his frowning brows immediately stretched, and he said in his heart that this old man was too good at talking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info continued to ask humbly: "Great First Emperor, please tell me, how can I be promoted to an eternal emperor like you?" My dream is to continue your great cause, to restore a unified, peaceful and powerful empire in the world, so that the common people can live a good life! ”
The First Emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, your dream is where you become strong. I have ruled the world, and I continue to work diligently, and I want to fulfill my mission of ruling the entire earth, so I want to live a little longer and continue to fight in the four directions. Now that I think about it, if I could treat the people of the world with your mentality, maybe my empire would not collapse. If you are a grass farmer, you can have today's achievements and lofty dreams, and your future will be limitless. The real art of imperial manipulation, which cannot be learned in history books and taught by predecessors, can only be experienced with your soul in order to peek into its lintel! You are on the road to success, but you need to persevere; You may not have a noble birth, but because of this, you are likely to accomplish great things that no king of the ages could accomplish, because you understand your subjects better! ”
Liu Bang seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand anything. Because what he was most concerned about was actually not the future, he was thinking about how to defeat and surpass Xiang Yu, this question had been entangled with him for a long time. He continued to reverently ask, "Great First Emperor, could you please tell me how I can resist Xiang Yu's attack?" How can we completely defeat Xiang Yu mentally, on the battlefield, and in strength?! ”
The First Emperor did not answer his question, but continued: "It is because you did not kill my descendants and subjects when you went west that I came to instruct you on how to accomplish the cause of the emperor. How to defeat Xiang Yu, this is your heart knot, and you must break through it yourself. That's all I can say. ”
Liu Bang was anxious, he knelt down, he still hoped to get the guidance of the First Emperor, but when he kowtowed, he found that the First Emperor had already disappeared, he bit his finger hard, only to find that this was Nan Ke's dream!
This turned out to be a dream, and he was still holding the jade seal of the country in his hand, it seemed that he wanted to be the emperor too much! However, every word that Qin Shi Huang said in the dream seemed to be engraved in Liu Bang's mind and lingered.
It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Xiang Yu is bound to lose; If I want to be a good emperor, I still need to keep cultivating, I can't lose to Xiang Yu, I must need to defeat him in the frontal battlefield!
Liu Bang originally had an extremely strong heart, after the hint of this dream, Liu Bang became more confident, no matter success or failure, with this confidence, Liu Bang's personality charm will be stronger! But being strong in the heart does not mean that the real strength is strong, Xingyang at this time is like a purgatory, and Liu Bang is the Monkey King calcined in the Dan furnace, whether he can refine his peerless magic skills, he needs to withstand this fierce true fire!
Since Liu Bang returned to Xingyang in May of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang did four things:
First, Han Xin was sent to divide his troops to attack Wei, Zhao, and Yan......
Second, send a messenger to win over Peng Yue and tell Peng Yue - brother must hold on, I have sent troops to raid Xiang Yu's old nest, and you will keep harassing him on the flank of Xiang Jun; Xiang Yu attacked Xingyang, and you robbed his grain and grass and captured his city; When he returns to attack you, I will send someone to inform you, and you will immediately withdraw to the mountains and hide, so that he will not find you. Peng Yue, who was a die-hard fan of Liu Bang, of course resolutely obeyed the order.
Third, send a special envoy to persuade Yingbu to surrender and dig up Xiang Yu's corner. Persuasion is Liu Bang's strength, but Yingbu used to be the head of Xiang Yu's five tiger generals, who is sure to persuade Yingbu to surrender? Liu Bang didn't care about this, during the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang sent people to separate the relationship between Yingbu and Xiang Yu, but Yingbu was recruited at that time and did not send a large army to attack Liu Bang with Xiang Yu. Afterwards, Xiang Yu was very unhappy with Yingbu, Xiang Yu sent an envoy to question Yingbu, and Yingbu was angry and killed Xiang Yu's envoy. Yu didn't have time to pursue this matter, so it passed. But this matter has not passed with Liu Bang, the people he sent to make a fuss about this matter, the more Yingbu thinks about it in the end, the more scared he becomes, in case Yi Yiyu defeats Liu Bang, he will definitely go back and clean himself up. As a result, Yingbu announced that he had surrendered to Liu Bang.
Fourth, send a large number of laborers to open up the secret passage between [Chenggao], which is specially used to transport grain and grass. [Chenggao] was one of the most important granaries of the Han army at that time, and with this secret passage, the Han army could eat and drink well and confront Xiang Yu's army with full spirit.
These four tricks can be said to be systematic engineering, and the fact that these things can be accomplished one by one fully shows that Liu Bang's military quality, strategic means, and execution ability have all risen to a fairly strong level. Helpless, his opponent is Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is too strong, Liu Bang's serial plan has caused a lot of trouble to Xiang Yu, but it has not stumped Xiang Yu.
