Chapter 81 There is no world without people
"I wonder how you plan to spend this "single night" in the ovary? Liu Bang was very interested in Zhang Liang's proposal. Fan Hao is even more impatient! Only Xiao He showed not much interest, but after all, he still planned to participate together. Zhang Liang saw that the three of them were willing to participate, so he beckoned them to sit down, and then said in a low voice: "Ordinary drinking and having fun is too boring, I want to have a special "single night", but I don't know if Pei Gong and Lao Fan, as well as Brother Xiao, have the courage to accompany them. "Ovary, just say it quickly! Even if it is the main hall of the Qin Palace, if you want to go, we will accompany you. Liu Bang looked a little impatient.
When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately took a deep breath and said to the three of them: "I want to rob while it is dark." "What are you going to do?!" Liu Bang couldn't believe his ears, the other party was going to get married tomorrow, and he actually wanted to go out and rob tonight.
Xiao He was also confused at this time, and asked suspiciously: "Then who do you want to rob?" "Of course it's Qin Jun." Zhang Liang replied lightly.
As soon as Fan Xu heard that he was going to rob the Qin army, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Where is the robbery?" What to rob?? How to rob ??? “
When Liu Bang and Xiao He heard that they were going to rob the Qin army, they also became interested, and they stepped forward one after another, waiting for Zhang Liang to continue.
Zhang Liang saw that the three of them had come up, so he said slowly: "I have a military horse outside the city, which is to pick up King Han to leave. They often go out to investigate the enemy situation as loose horsemen, and this morning they reported an information to Zhang Yun. I think it can be utilized. After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he beckoned Zhang Yun to continue to explain to everyone.
Zhang Yun slowly stepped forward, clasped his fists at everyone and said, "This morning, our scattered cavalry outside the city reported that there was a team of homeless people a hundred miles away who was heading in the direction of Xianyang. The number of people is about nearly 1,000. Although they were vagrants, our stragglers found that they carried a dozen large boxes, and often traveled overnight. The most suspicious thing is that they all seem to have blades. So we suspect that they are all made up by Qin Jun. ”
After listening to Zhang Yun's narration, Liu Bang began to think, and after a while, he said to everyone: "The homeless people will not march in the direction of Xianyang, let alone flee with a big box, and they also carry a blade!" But how can we be sure that they are Qin Jun? ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately said to Liu Bang: "For example, there are only three kinds of people who can walk around with blades today, one is our rebels from all walks of life, this is impossible, if so, they would have come to us a long time ago." The other is the bandits, and this is not very promising, unless they are moving en masse. In the end, there was only the Qin army. In my estimation, the box was supposed to be a tribute from some "dutiful" county guard or county order to Hu Hai's dead child. Nowadays, there are many wars in the north, and only by bypassing the original land of Chu and Han can they enter Qin, but there are not a few rebels here, and once they are found to be transporting property, they will definitely rob it, so they will disguise. In addition, now that all the rebels are allied here, who has the heart to care about them. That's our chance. “
Liu Bang agreed with Zhang Liang's explanation, but then a serious problem trapped everyone again.
"Ofan, you said that there are thousands of people on the other side, so are you planning to mobilize King Han's military horses or my sergeants to rob?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and replied: "No, once the troops are mobilized on a large scale, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of General Xiang Liang and the righteous army from all walks of life, not to mention our troops, even Pei Gong's guards who are your bodyguards can't go, once they leave the city, they will be discovered." ”
When Xiao He heard this, he immediately asked, "Is it difficult for Zhang Situ to make it difficult for a few of us to rob it?" ”
When Fan Xu heard this, he immediately cast a look of adoration at Zhang Liang and said, "Obediently, Zhang Situ, you are more daring than me Fan Xu!" ”
"Just a few of us go, that's not called robbery, that's called looking for death. You have forgotten that there are still soldiers and horses hidden all the way outside my city. ”
Liu Bang nodded, and then asked, "Then how many soldiers and horses are there outside your city?" ”
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows at everyone and replied with a smile: "Two hundred!" “
This time, the three of them were completely confused. Liu Bang said with a wry smile: "More than 200 people are really not looking for death, they can barely be regarded as death." ”
Seeing that everyone had no confidence, Zhang Liang was still not discouraged, and still said confidently: "There are not many soldiers, they are being used and surprising." As long as we can make good use of the cavalry advantage, our 200 cavalry may not be able to win the 1,000-strong Qin army! “
As soon as Zhang Liang said this, Liu Bang immediately remembered his deeds of winning more with less several times, and those battle examples have been praised by the world.
"Ofan, we are not people who are afraid of death, if you have a way, what if you accompany you on this trip!" Liu Bang already had confidence at this time, and he began to ask Zhang Liang about countermeasures.
"They often rush through the night, believing that they want to pass through our area as soon as possible, for fear of being discovered by the rebels of our alliance. Moreover, it is found that the other side uses short blades, without any long blades and crossbows, so that our cavalry can exert their maximum combat power! We use the tactics of suspicious soldiers; Tactics for exhaustion. Zhang Yun and I led a group of men and horses from the tail of the Qin army to the left and right, and killed horizontally. At that time, the enemy will definitely turn around and be on guard, and Pei Gong, you, Fan Xu and Brother Xiao will lead a group of men and horses to enter and exit from the original head of the Qin army to the right and left, and also kill horizontally. The enemy will turn around again. After that, you and I will attack again, and when they can find the pattern of our attack, we will join forces and penetrate through the enemy's middle. Take advantage of the strong power of our cavalry and turn the enemy into a frightened bird. “
When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! The ovary, in the past, I just heard that you were good at surprise. It's a great pleasure to be able to really see your military strategy today! ”
Xiao He also admired Zhang Liang's strategy, but he was still worried, and asked casually: "Ovary, your strategy is good." But even so, it is impossible to completely wipe out these 1,000 people. ”
Zhang nodded yes, and then continued: "The attack ahead is to frighten the enemy; Exhaust the enemy army. When they are in turmoil, we will attack our hearts! ”
"How to attack the heart?" Liu Bang asked anxiously.
"These sergeants escorted the treasure to Xianyang, and if they missed the time or lost their belongings, they would only die, so we left a few men and laid an ambush in the distance, and let them tie their tails to the branches of the trees, and ride back and forth, making noise and dust. The enemy will think that the army has been killed, and we will take this opportunity to persuade them to surrender to us, believing that there is a very high chance of victory. Even if we lose, our light cavalry will be enough to escape the pursuit of the other party. ”
After Zhang Liang revealed the overall plan, Liu Bang and the three began to calculate the winning rate. After only a while, Liu Bang slapped the table and said excitedly: "Ovary, we will accompany you to spend this "single night" tonight!" ”
At nightfall, Zhang Liang, Liu Bang and other five people quietly sneaked out of the city, and after traveling for several miles, they made peace with the cavalry outside the city.
As soon as the cavalry saw Zhang Liang, they immediately stepped forward and reported: "My lord, the team pretending to be a homeless person is a hundred miles away, and according to reports, they are hurrying overnight. ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately began to deploy! After everyone understood the tactics, they set out in gear.
At midnight, Zhang Liang's troops finally caught up with each other. Zhang Liang and Liu Bang immediately launched their actions according to the original plan.
The Qin army hurried day and night, just to leave Huiji's sphere of influence as soon as possible, and at this time, all the Qin army sergeants were already slightly tired!
Just as they were marching desperately, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing came from the rear of the troops, the sound shook the earth, and with the wails of the Qin soldiers, the cavalry swept past their rear, and after the surprise attack, they flew away.
The leader of the Qin army immediately ordered the front team to change to the rear team and strengthen the vigilance to prevent the enemy from sneaking up again. But as soon as the team turned around, another cavalry came out, also slashing all the way, without stopping.
After repeating this once, the leader of the Qin army hurriedly shouted: "The whole army is on alert, be careful of sneak attacks in front and back, the number of enemies is limited, don't panic!" ”
This time, the Qin army guarded the left and right roads, waiting for the arrival of the other party! It's a pity that everything is in Zhang Liang's prediction, at this moment he has joined forces with Liu Bang, and nearly 200 light horsemen are like an awl, rushing forward from the middle of the Qin army, and without waiting for the Qin army to react, they have already rushed out again.
But after the attack ended, Zhang Liang and the others did not flee like the last two times, but listened from the position of keeping a safe distance from the Qin army.
The Qin army was attacked again, looking at the confrontation between the other party and himself, but he did not dare to attack rashly, for fear of falling into the trap again. The leader looked in Zhang Liang's direction and noticed that there was dust behind them, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard. Immediately shocked, the only possibility he could think of was that the opponent's brigade had been killed.
Zhang Liang saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, so he rode forward alone and said, "I am the king of Han and will go down to Zhang Liang!" Do you choose to fight to the death, or surrender? ”
As soon as he heard the word Zhang Liang, there was immediately a mess among the Qin army, because his name was too terrifying.
When the leading sergeant heard Zhang Liang's words, he was in a dilemma, not knowing how he should decide.
Zhang Liang saw that the other party hesitated, and continued: "Your whereabouts have been exposed, don't make senseless resistance." Do you still want to continue to work for the tyrannical Qin? My army is about to arrive, even if you are willing to give up your possessions, and I don't hunt you down, will the court let you go?! ”
These words were like a heavy punch, hitting the hearts of all the soldiers of the Qin army, looking at Zhang Liang and his mighty cavalry. After some thought, the leader finally threw away his blade and knelt down and replied, "I will surrender!" ”
As soon as the Qin army sergeants saw that the leading army had surrendered, they also abandoned their swords one after another, knelt down and replied: "I am willing to surrender!" ”
Things developed surprisingly smoothly, and Liu Bang never imagined that this battle with a huge disparity in strength would end so easily.
Zhang Liang saw that the other party had no longer the will to fight, and immediately urged him to step forward and said to Qin Jun: "Okay! Hurry up and take care of your wounded companions, you are my brothers from now on! After finishing speaking, he pointed at Liu Bang with his finger and said to Qin Jun: "This is General Liu of Pei County, and he is also my brother, from now on, you are under his command, and I, Zhang Liang, promise everyone that General Liu will treat everyone like his own siblings!" ”
When Liu Bang heard that Zhang Liang was going to assign these sergeants under his command, he immediately said excitedly: "Ovary, this is ...... Isn't that right? ”
Zhang Liang didn't seem to care, and smiled at Liu Bang: "As long as Pei Gong treats them well, that's fine." Please remember that whether it is the Qin people or the people of the other six countries, they are all one family and our relatives! ”
Zhang Liang's words made Liu Bang unable to calm down for a long time, it was like an entrustment, and it seemed like a truth. Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang with reverence and did not say a word.
"After taking care of your companions, you will first camp in the place I have designated, and if any of the rebels find you, they will say that they are General Liu's generals! Do you understand? ”
When the Qin army heard this, they immediately replied in unison: "Wow! ”
Liu Bang quietly came to Zhang Liang and asked in a low voice, "Liangzai, aren't you afraid that they will run away?" ”
Zhang Liang smiled slightly, and replied to Liu Bang: "BOSS, if we take them back, we will be exposed." Besides, where can they run but wait for you? ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Liu Bang was ashamed of himself. These Qin troops have lost their belongings, and only by following Liu Bang can they survive at this moment!
After Zhang Liang marked the location of the garrison for the Qin army, he returned with his belongings without even opening the inventory.
Looking at the Qin army who began to move towards the garrison location, Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang, "Zifang, do you have a name for this move?" ”
Zhang Liang thought for a while, and then replied: "Go up to the house and draw the ladder; Pull the ladder up behind you. Even if they react now, it's over, their belongings are gone, and they can only wait for Pei Gong's incorporation! ”
Liu Bang was once again impressed by Zhang Liang's wisdom! After traveling for more than ten miles, everyone stopped to count the "loot"! After counting, the total amount of these boxes of property was 600,000 gold.
Zhang Liang and the others are already going crazy! After the average distribution of six boxes, Zhang Liang said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, I keep 200,000 gold as a gift for the wedding, I think I have also treated Shu'er badly, and I have never had a gift money for her marriage, and today I will fight for her to get this face back!" Half of the remaining 400,000 will be given to you, and the other half will be distributed to the people. ”
Liu Bang was very curious about Zhang Liang's allocation, and then asked: "Ovary, I support you for your daughter-in-law to fight for face." You want to support the people, and I understand! But why did you ask me to do it? In this way, didn't I win the hearts of the people? Besides, what if I do it privately? Also, I'm only three people, how can I divide so much? Inappropriate! ”
I saw Zhang Liang clasping his fists and replied with a smile: "Pei Gong, how can the two brothers be favoritistic when they do business, in other days, I, Zhang Liang, will inevitably ask you for help!" You just have to accept the 200,000! As for the 200,000, only by winning the hearts of the people can we win the world, and I just hope that the people can remember your kindness! As for whether you will be ignorant or not, and how you will use this money, it is naturally your business, and I can't control it. I just want to say one thing to you, Wangpei Gong remember-there is no world without people! “
Liu Bang sighed deeply, and said excitedly to Zhang Liang: "Ovary, you are better than a million heroes!" ”
