Chapter 318: Borrowing the Way

The two envoys set up the camp and asked Wang Yi in detail, and the three armies were fighting and it was difficult to decide!

After leaving the Korean capital, the South Korean New Army marched towards the border pass day and night. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion was about to arrive at www.biquge.info South Korean border, Bai Yuan raised doubts to Zhang Liang.

"My lord, in another day we will be out of the Korean border, and then we will set foot in the fiefdoms of other vassal states, if we can't handle it properly, I'm afraid there will be suspicions and misunderstandings. We have been in such a hurry that we have not sent an envoy at all, what do you think we should do? ”

Hearing Bai Yuanxiang's question, Zhang Liang asked for a map casually, and after seeing his location, he immediately said in a deep voice: "This trip will pass through too many princes' lands, and some of them are still Xiang Yu's diehards!" There is no need for us to have friction with them, and to give me orders, so people will give me a crossing, preferably on the border between the two countries. And the march should be fast, so that the princes will not move quickly, and by the time they want to make a move, Lao Tzu will have already left. ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's order, Bai Yuan agreed with him. But then he asked: "King, it's not a problem to step on the border. But what if it's a narrow-mindedness? On that day, Li Wen and King Qin were able to pass the test by disguised as merchants, and there were too many of our soldiers, there were 50,000, and it was impossible to pass the pass in disguise. ”

Bai Yuan's doubts made Zhang Liang also have a headache, and just as he was thinking hard about how to solve the matter, suddenly a sergeant entered and reported: "The king, the king of Yin and the king of Henan have sent envoys to meet the king!" ”

Hearing that an envoy from the princes had arrived, Zhang Liang was slightly stunned, he never thought that the other party would react so quickly. After a few moments, Zhang Liang asked the sergeant to take them in.

When the envoys of the princes saw Zhang Liang, they hurriedly made a big salute. Then the envoy of the king of Henan took the lead in asking: "King Han, your army is pressing the border, and I don't know what to advise." Is there a misunderstanding with my king? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to reply, the envoy of King Yin also followed up and asked: "King Han, my king has admired you for a long time. It is hoped that there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings and disagreements between the two sides, so I hope that King Han will explain the reason for the border pass of Chen Bing. ”

Seeing that the two of them were asking questions at the same time, Zhang Liang immediately knew it. The other party also didn't want to do anything, so he sent an envoy to explore the truth first. After understanding the other party's intentions, Zhang Liang responded with a smile: "This king has also admired the two princes and kings for a long time. Today's coming here is actually a matter of border control. Truth be told, this king wants to start trading at the border gates. However, it was reported that the border pass was invaded by the Huns, so he led the army to gallop to the aid of the border guards. Because the trip was too hasty, no envoys were sent, and I asked the two envoys to apologize to your king on behalf of the king. ”

Knowing that the Han army wanted to use the road to enter the border pass, the two envoys were stunned. After pondering for a while, the envoy of King Yin arched his hand and said, "It turns out that King Han wants to take the opportunity to go to the border pass. But after all, this matter involves the harmony and diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the lower officials cannot make the decision. And since ancient times, entering the country is equivalent to declaring war, please think twice. ”

Hearing the words of King Yin's envoy, the King of Henan also echoed: "Yes, King Han, you want to go to the border, this matter is too important. Do you want to ask King Han to wait in Han Realm, allow your ministers to pay homage to my king, and then inform King Han when there is a result?! ”

Zhang Liang knew that the stakes were high, so he didn't want to embarrass them. But in order to save time, he said directly: "Please ask the two envoys to go back and tell your king, just say that I Zhang Zifang has no sinister intentions." I will only take advantage of your country's borders once, and I will never stop along the way. When you reach the pass, bother your country to let you go. After the deed is completed, the trade at my border will never forget your country. Please also ask the two envoys to bother! ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, the two envoys hurriedly bowed down and retreated, and then returned without stopping.

After Bai Yuan saw the envoy leaving, he hurriedly asked Zhang Liang, "King, do you say that the King of Henan and the King of Yin will agree to our transit?" If the other two countries can let them go, we can take the small road and go straight to the border gate, thus saving a lot of trouble. ”

Hearing Bai Yuan's question, Zhang Liang immediately fell into deep thought, and he was not sure at this time, not knowing whether the other party would agree.

After a long time, Zhang Liang finally made a decision. After carefully looking at the map on the case, he immediately ordered Bai Yuan to rest and stop advancing.

Bai Yuan saw that Zhang Liang was going to wait for the result, so he hurriedly agreed to go down to give the order. After the order was issued, he returned to the tent and returned to Zhang Liang. At the same time, he asked a little worriedly: "King, now that we are still in our country, we don't have to worry, but what if the other party is unwilling to let us borrow the Tao, or pretend to borrow the Tao, and wait for the opportunity to ambush us?!" ”

Hearing Bai Yuan's doubts, Zhang Liang replied without hesitation for a moment: "Then let these two places change their surnames to Han!" ”

As soon as Bai Yuan heard Zhang Liang's domineering words, his spirit was immediately shocked. After a burst of ecstasy, he clenched his fists and replied, "Don't worry, king! I am willing to wash the princes with blood for my King Han!! ”

Zhang Liang's new army rested at the border for four days, and he, who was already anxious, became even more impatient at this time.

After Bai Yuan and Tianyu inspected the military camp, they came to Zhang Liang's camp together. They wanted to know what the king had in mind.

"My lord, it's been four days. The other party still hasn't replied, what do you think we should do? ”

Hearing Tianyu's inquiry, Zhang Liang immediately frowned deeply and fell into deep thought.

Bai Yuan saw that Zhang Liang was very distressed, and hurriedly poked Tianyu with his hand, signaling him not to embarrass the king again. And Tianyu also knew that he was a little reckless at this time, so he hurriedly shut down and stood aside, not daring to speak again.

After a while, Zhang Liang suddenly got up, and then said sharply: "Lao Tzu has no time to wait!" No matter how late it is, I'm afraid that the Chu army will go to the border pass! He King Yin and King Henan will borrow it, and if they don't borrow, they will borrow it! Bai Yuan, the whole army set off, according to the original plan, to Lao Tzu day and night, through the border of the rapid march! ”

Hearing that Zhang Liang issued an order to march, Bai Yuan immediately came to his senses. After responding to Zhang Liang's order, he hurriedly rushed out of the tent and announced the order to march.

But just as the sergeants began to pack up and prepare to leave, the scouts suddenly rushed back. At the same time, it brought the latest scouting news.

"King Qiqi, King Yin and King Henan each led 40,000 troops and horses to our army. The two sides have already met, and I am afraid that we will reach the border tomorrow! ”

Although Zhang Liang was already mentally prepared, he was still a little frightened when he really learned that the two families actually sent troops.

After Bai Yuan heard that the combined army of 80,000 of the two families was rushing towards him, he immediately excitedly pleaded to Zhang Liang: "King, please send the last general to fight." The last general is willing to make a military order. With only 30,000 new troops, you can break the 80,000 allied forces of his two families! ”

Seeing that Bai Yuan was in a hurry to fight, Zhang Liang did not give the order immediately! Although he believed in Bai Yuan and the new army he trained. But he really didn't want to tear his face with the other princes, because that would plunge Korea into a crisis.

Looking at Zhang Liang, who was hesitant, Bai Yuan only felt extremely anxious. But he didn't dare to continue to ask for battle, so he could only wait quietly for Zhang Liang's order.

When Tianyu saw Zhang Liang's anxiety on his face, he immediately understood that he didn't want to start a war easily. After pondering for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say: "King, in the opinion of a villain, it is better not to act rashly. After all, our purpose is to rescue the soldiers and horses at the border pass, if at this time with the two princes of the road become a fire and water, then saving people will become empty talk, and will raise their vigilance for no reason, and then I am afraid that the food delivery team sent by General Wang Fang will also be difficult to pass! ”

Zhang Liang agrees with Tianyu's analysis. After considering the situation, a decision was finally made.

"Bai Yuan, rearm for war. But don't act rashly, lead the new army to Lao Tzu ready to attack at any time. Let's take a look at each other's movements. ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's royal order, Bai Yuan immediately promised to go down and prepare. And Zhang Liang and Tianyu also began to organize their belongings at this time.

Near noon, the military horses of the three sides were all Chen soldiers at both ends of the Korean border. Anyone who sees this scene will assume that there will be a big war. Even Zhang Liang himself vaguely felt that the battle seemed inevitable.

But just when Zhang Liang was thinking about how to avoid a meaningless war, King Yin and King Henan actually sent envoys at the same time. This sudden change made Zhang Liang see a glimmer of hope again.

When Zhang Liang saw the two envoys of the other party, he found that it was still the two envoys who came to inquire about his destination last time. After the other party saluted Zhang Liang, he said anxiously: "King Han, my king has confidential matters that he wants to interview with King Han. ”

Hearing that King Yin wanted to interview him, Zhang Liang was stunned. But before he could express his position, the envoy of the king of Henan also said: "King Han, my king also wants to meet you." “

Knowing that both sides were going to see him, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked, "Then what do you two mean by bringing troops here?!" Is it to meet this king? “

Hearing Zhang Liang ask about the soldiers and horses, the two envoys replied in unison: "Don't worry about King Han, when you see my king, everything will naturally be known." “

Seeing that the other party actually said the same, Zhang Liang immediately understood that this was a decision negotiated by the two families in advance. At this time, he began to consider whether to venture to meet the King of Yin and the King of Henan. But Bai Yuan on the side couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"You can't go, King. If the two princes and kings take the opportunity to make trouble, then your situation will be worrying. If you have to see it, it is better to invite King Yin and King Henan to come here and want to see it. “

Hearing that Bai Yuan was worried about Zhang Liang's safety, the envoy of King Yin hurriedly replied: "King Han and the general don't worry, my king proposes to set up a platform in the middle of our two armies, and the two sides will only bring one escort to go at that time, and the three families will enter the table to talk, I don't know what King Han wants?!" “

After listening to the other party's suggestion, Bai Yuan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was a way to get the best of both worlds, but he was always worried about Zhang Liang's safety. So I don't agree, I don't object.

After considering the suggestion of King Yin's envoy, Zhang Liang pondered slightly for a while. After considering the overall impact and weighing the gains and losses, he finally made a decision.

"In that case, the two of you will go back and reply to your king now, and say that I, Zhang Zifang, will go to the agreed place first, put the case on the table, prepare wine, and wait for the two of them!" (To be continued.) )
