Linzi City, Shenwu Marquis Mansion, Zhao Jun's study.

Zhao Jun sat in front of the long case in the study, and Tang Li and Wei Yu were on the left and right.

I only heard Zhao Jun smile and said: "The imperial court has issued an edict, and the order is to go out to Chen Sheng on the same day, and our opportunity to make contributions has come." ”

Tang Li pondered: "Chen Sheng's troops and horses from all walks of life are on the expedition, Chen County is empty, the nearest Nanyang County Song Liu is still entangled by General Wang Ben, we have 40,000 soldiers and horses available, it is not difficult to capture Chen County."

Zhao Jun nodded, looked out the window with his eyes, and said lightly: "Chen Sheng, Jumping Sauer, I haven't put it in my eyes yet, but Tang Li, don't forget, the east of Chen County is Surabaya, and Liu Bang also has nearly 20,000 people." ”

"Liu Bang? I've heard that this person is making a lot of trouble in Surabaya, but there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, why is Hou Ye angry about him? Wei Yu questioned, he still didn't know about the grievances between Liu Bang and Zhao Jun.

Tang Li explained with a smile: "Strategist, don't you know, this Liu Bang and our Hou Ye are enemies of life and death. ”

As he spoke, Tang Li told the grievances between Zhao Jun and Liu Bang before and after, and Wei Yi nodded after listening, he could imagine that Zhao Jun was young at the time, and it was difficult for him to survive in Pei County.

In the end, Wei Yu said: "According to this, Liu Bang should take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Hou Ye, but before he makes a move, we can't speculate, so we can only strengthen our defense."

Zhao Tuo of the southern army has been self-reliant, the northern army can not be dispatched for a while, and the rest such as Li You and Wang Ben can only defend and protect the fundamental place of Great Qin, and the combat power of Zhang Han's 700,000 prisoners is not yet known, so in the end, it will play a role in calming the world, and it will fall on Hou Ye, in addition, it is foreseeable that Chen Sheng is by no means the number one enemy of Great Qin, the so-called wood show is in the forest, the wind will blow, I am afraid that after Chen Sheng, there will inevitably be a stronger anti-thief.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to take this opportunity to expand the strength of the Linzi camp as His Majesty said, otherwise the strength of 40,000 soldiers and horses alone will not be enough in the troubled times. ”

"The military advisor's analysis is good." Zhao Jun nodded, deeply admired Wei Yu's strategic vision, although the current rebel army is powerful, it is not as big as the threat of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and it is really difficult to compete with 40,000 soldiers and horses alone.

Tang Li heard this and said: "Then I will prepare the music for the Hou Ye now, report to Xianyang, and wait for Emperor Xianyang's reaction." ”

Zhao Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, let's focus on the expedition first, otherwise someone in the court should say that the thief is self-respecting, and he is saying that the conscription of soldiers and horses is not a matter of one or two days, everything is subject to state affairs, and personal grievances are put aside." ”

Wei Yi nodded happily when he heard this, he just appreciated Zhao Jun's ability to understand the overall situation, Zhao Jun was the prince of the Qin Dynasty, no matter how strong he was, he was always the hair on the skin of the Qin Dynasty.

Tang Li also agreed when he heard this: "What Master Hou said is right. ”

"Order all the troops and horses to prepare for three days, and set off after three days, aiming at Chen County." Zhao Jun opened his mouth to order, and finally said to Tang Li: "Ah Li, you and Dong Fei will lead 6,500 city defense troops to stay behind. ”

"No!"

Three days later, in addition to the 6,500 and 500 scouts of the city defense army, the other 33,000 men and horses all went out with the Zhao army, Tang Li and Dong Fei stayed behind, and the government affairs were in charge of Zhou Cao, Sima Xin and others of the county guard, and the grain road was opened by the logistics battalion to help Yuzi period open up to provide supplies for the army.

After the death of Zhou City, the imperial court sent officials to recover the Wei land, and the army of the Zhao army also went out of Linzi from Xue County to Dang County, and finally directly to Chen County.

The news of Zhao's dispatch of troops naturally could not be concealed from Chen Sheng, after all, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses marched, and it was impossible not to expose it.

After getting the news, Chen Sheng hurriedly ordered Song to stay back to save Chen County, but Song Liu was always pressed by Wang Ben of Nanyang, how could he say that he would withdraw, and in the end Cai Ci urgently recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the original Chen County left behind 30,000 people to build a city and prepare materials for war

Pei county.

Now it is no longer the small city of Pei County, after Liu Bang captured Surabaya County, he increased the height and strengthened the city, and it became a big city.

The flag of the head of the city is waving in the wind, making the sound of hunting, and the armor of the head of the city is holding a cold and shining spear, standing tall in front of the wall battlement, extremely majestic, and the sentries patrolling back and forth are also imposing, it can be seen that these are elite soldiers.

After Liu Bang captured Pei County, he was honored as Pei Gong, although he surrendered to Chen Sheng on the surface, but it was just a matter of taking advantage of his momentum, and it was still independent in nature, and the county government in the city was also changed to Pei Gongfu.

In the house, Liu Bang is discussing political affairs with the military advisor Zhang Liang, sacrificing wine and eating him, which is different from history, not only because of Zhao Le's help, Liu Bang is now a strong soldier, but also Zhang Liang and Li Shiqi also took refuge in Liu Bang early by mistake......

"I heard Le'er and Cao Ji say that the Zhao army has already marched into Chen County with 33,000 soldiers and horses, what do you think?"

Liu Bang became Pei Gong, and his image has improved a lot, but he loves to stretch his legs crookedly and his habits have not changed, he is a little lazy, and he is even more complacent between his eyebrows.

Li Shiqi is already in his fifties, free and arrogant of Confucianism, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Judging from the situation of King Chen, the appearance is strong, but the actual branches are strong and weak, and sooner or later one day it will fall apart. ”

"The analysis makes sense, but you may not know the previous grievances between me and Zhao Jun, with his temperament, after defeating Chen Sheng, he will inevitably beat the rabbit and turn around to deal with me." Liu Bang shook his head and told him about his grievances with Zhao Jun again.

Zhang Liang is no longer the hot-blooded assassin of Bolangsha back then, with a slender body, generous appearance, and a little elegance in his calmness.

I only heard Zhang Liang hug his fists and said: "Once I assassinated the King of Qin was also destroyed by this person, it is indeed the enemy of my righteous army, not to be underestimated, from the overall situation, if we do not work together to deal with the Zhao army, the righteous army will inevitably be broken by each of them, and when we are attacked, who will help us?" So, I think King Chen must be saved. ”

At this time, Li Shiqi said again: "It's the old man who is rash, the ovary is right, if we abandon King Chen, we will inevitably be spurned by the righteous army in the world, after all, our Surabaya County is the closest to King Chen." ”

"What you said is right, I really can't ignore it, Zhao Jun is my henchman and must be eliminated." Liu Bang nodded, and then, suddenly, said coldly: "You say, if we take advantage of the Zhao army and King Chen, suddenly send troops to the north, capture Xue County, cut off its grain route and back road, and call on Wu Bing of Hengshan County and Huiji Xiang to trap Zhao Jun to death in Chen County?"
