"Losing people's hearts is better than losing their lives, you see, now the entire Chen County, plus the soldiers and horses left by Song to help, will definitely not exceed 20,000, and some of them are wounded soldiers.

Talking about us, Fan Xu lost more than 1,000 people, the sneak attack on the camp almost took my life, 7,000 people also lost more than 1,000 people, and now there are more than 7,000 people inside and out, and after fighting with those tigers and wolves of the Qin army a few times, I am afraid that we will not survive to return to Pei County, we are not as big as Chen Sheng, a total of 20,000 horses, and now it is just the first battle to break the muscles and bones.

I think that if you stay, you must give Chen Sheng a funeral. ”

Liu Bang kept complaining, and he made up his mind that he didn't want to lose his strength, he now knew very well that although the Zhao army had only 30,000 soldiers and horses, it could lower the army of 100,000 and overwhelm Chen Sheng and himself.

Zhang Liang could only smile helplessly, he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhao Jun would be so brave and good at fighting, which can be called elite, not to mention Chen Sheng's army, even the army under Liu Bang that he thought was strong was not an opponent at all, and was completely vulnerable in front of the Qin army.

Liu Bang said again: "By the way, there is also the old man I saw in the Qin army camp, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance." ”

"That's the former lieutenant of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Emperor can unify the six countries, it can be said that he has half of his functions, and the strategy and planning are all his efforts, which is really powerful." Zhang Liang couldn't help but have a look in his eyes when he talked about Wei Yu, it was the excitement of meeting his opponent.

In the end, Zhang Liang thought for a moment and said: "It's really not good to go on like this, not to mention that Chen Sheng will be defeated for a long time, and our army will also be hit, I'm thinking, since our strength is not good, why don't we intervene in external forces?" ”

"External forces? What do you mean. Liu Bang was stunned.

Zhang Liang pointed to the north, and said meaningfully: "Wei Land is empty, and it can disturb its grain route." ”

"Wei Di? Ofan, didn't you say that we can't go to Weidi, what if Zhao Jun wants to turn around and strike, or damage my Surabaya foundation. The more Liu Bang spoke, the more confused he became, and his face was full of doubts.

Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head: "Of course we don't go, I mean to go with the help of external forces, there is a general under Chen Sheng named Wei Bao, who is the queen of the Wei royal family, once when he was fighting waves and stabbing Qin, I conspired with him, but his brother died at the hands of Zhao Jun."

With his prestige, as long as he helps the soldiers and horses, he will be able to go to Wei to incite the people to rebel and capture the city, the grain road of the Zhao army is just a group of people in charge, how to ensure the safety of the grain road, for a long time the grain and grass will not be enough, the army will inevitably float, the combat power will decline, and the siege will not be so easy. ”

"The ovary is wonderful!" Liu Bang's eyes lit up and he opened his mouth to praise, but after a while, Liu Bang raised his eyebrows and asked: "However, even if Wei Bao can provoke a rebellion for a while and create chaos in the Wei State, it is not an overnight thing to firmly control the Wei State, so it must not completely cut off the Qin army's grain route, and at most attack and disturb." The Qin army is constantly fed with food and grass, and the Zhao army may have some moths, even if the Qin army's combat strength declines, I am afraid that Chen Sheng is not an opponent, and we will have to lose men and horses. ”

Zhang Liang heard this and said: "That's true, but we have more than one external force to borrow, such as the military ministers of Zhao Di, his soldiers and horses are very close to the nest of the Zhao army, as long as King Chen orders him to attack Linzi, the Qin army will inevitably be in chaos without a fight, and it is inevitable to retreat, and when the Zhao army returns to Linzi, it will inevitably be entangled in the war in the north, and the lord will have enough time to accumulate strength." ”

Liu Bang nodded while listening, obviously moved by Zhang Liang's strategy, but finally said: "I'm afraid that Chen Sheng will not let Wei Bao go to Weidi, and the military ministers have long disobeyed Chen Sheng's order, and when Zhou Wen attacked Hangu Pass, he did not divide his troops to help, but consolidated the strength of Zhao Di." ”

"This lord doesn't have to worry, under the life and death of life, presumably Chen Sheng can distinguish the priority, as for the military minister, he only needs to send Mr. Li Shiqi to Zhao Di, and he will be able to convince him." Zhang Liang opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

After hearing this, Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, according to your wishes, I will go to see Chen Sheng tomorrow, and you will also send someone to Pei County to let Li Shiqi prepare, this time I will dig out Zhao Jun's old nest to relieve me of being ruthless, and when I have accumulated enough strength, I am taking revenge on him." ”

After that, Liu Bang said a little bit of gain and loss: "Ovary, what if Chen Sheng loses this time?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Even if Chen Sheng is defeated, Zhao Jun has no time to deal with the lord, and there is also an explanation with the hearts of the people in the world, others will only say that the lord is benevolent and righteous, as long as the lord is in the middle, the lord is not supporting Chen Sheng and preserving his strength." ”

"Haha, the ovary is smart, I have the ovary, and it is enough to have a million male soldiers." Liu Bang opened his mouth and laughed, although he was a bit of a hooligan, but his brain was very clever and good at winning people's hearts, besides, he could not lose his strength, but he could also earn fame, and he could also give Zhao Jun eye medicine, Liu Bang was a good deal.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Liu Bang went to see Chen Sheng.

He was not fully dressed, revealing a wound tied with gauze, and he seemed to be anxious to see Chen Sheng, and there were beads of sweat on his face.

Chen Wangfu, in the main hall, Chen Sheng heard that Liu Bang was coming, and he wanted to complain to him and ask Liu Bang to send someone to help, but when he saw Liu Bang's miserable appearance, he suddenly didn't know how to say it.

Liu Bang stood in the main hall, looked at Chen Sheng on the high seat, squeezed out a few tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "The king, Liu Jiku, I wanted to do my best for the king, and took the opportunity to attack the camp of the Qin army, how do you know that the cunning Qin army has already taken precautions, and more than 1,000 souls of my brothers have returned to their hometowns, woo hoo lament."

"Alas" Chen Sheng sighed, thinking that Liu Bang is so miserable, I still don't want him to be soldiers, seeing that he is so righteous, I guess he will do his best to help me without saying anything.

Liu Bang wiped a handful of tears, and said with righteousness: "Ji came today to ask, how many men and horses does King Chen still have, even if we fight to the death, we have to go out of the city to avenge our brothers." ”

"This" Chen Sheng was embarrassed again, Song Liu sent the general Qin Jia to support 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 soldiers and horses was not strong, and the soldiers and horses who fled back to the city yesterday were less than 5,000, most of them were still wounded, and they could not be in battle, even if the original 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city were added, the soldiers who could fight were only 17,000.

The most important thing is that there are no generals in battle, just one Qin Jia, how to fight with the tiger and wolf army of the Zhao army, even if Liu Bang's is not a defeated general with 7,000 remnants, if he goes out of the city, I am afraid that the city will not only be protected, but his own life will also be worried.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Sheng began to persuade earnestly: "Pei Gong, I know your kindness, but our strength is really limited, fighting out of the city is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg, it is better to stick to it and wait for help, anyway, I have already ordered Deng Zong, Song Liu, Wu Guang and others, let them return to help as soon as possible, and when they come, we will seek revenge on Zhao Jun." ”

When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, king, do you think, Song Liu and General Wu Guang are entangled by their opponents, wouldn't they have come back sooner if they could have come back?" There are also Jiujiang's people and horses, but they can't support it, it's too late in time, and he has already supported 10,000, Deng Xu is also dead, and Deng Zong doesn't have much role in sending people. ”

"Is this lonely only waiting to die? Is the sky going to kill me, Chen Sheng? Chen Sheng was analyzed by Liu Bang, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and his face began to despair.

Liu Bang quietly glanced at Chen Sheng at this time, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he said: "King, Ji still has a way that is not a way, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

"Oh, what is Pei Gong's plan, come quickly?" Chen Sheng hurriedly asked, he just wanted to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor now, and any straw could be a life-saving straw.

After Liu Bang heard this, he was silent for a long time, until Chen Sheng was impatient, and then he said: "King, I heard that there is a soldier under your command, it is Wei Bao, he said that after the Wei royal family, I think if he can return to Wei, only three or five thousand soldiers and horses can stir up the people of Wei to rebel, so as to intercept the grain of the Zhao army, do you think, once the supply of grain and grass for the Qin army is insufficient, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, won't the combat strength be greatly damaged?" ”

Chen Sheng lowered his head after hearing this, and there was hesitation in his eyes, Wei Bao is indeed the queen of the Wei royal family, what Liu Bang said is very reasonable, but if Wei Bao takes the opportunity to return to the country, wouldn't it make him Chen Sheng do a big wrong?

Liu Bang looked up at Chen Sheng on the throne, naturally knew what he was worried about, thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and said loudly: "King Chen, please listen to Liu Ji's direct words." ”

Hearing this, Chen Sheng raised his head, waved his hand and said, "Pei Gong has something to say, please say." ”

Liu Bang made another gesture, and finally raised his head and said in a righteous manner: "Ji knows the worries of the king, but his life is still not guaranteed, why should he be taboo about the day after tomorrow, please think about it, the souls of tens of thousands of brothers who died in the battle yesterday, please think about the hands of Mr. Cai, General Zhang, and General Deng, if they can't repel the Zhao army and destroy the tyrannical Qin together with the world's righteous army, how can they be worthy of these brothers?" ”

"This" Chen Sheng was still hesitating.

Seeing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but take a fierce medicine, and said: "King, if you don't give up your arm, you can save your life, and even if Wei Bao is self-reliant in Wei, but it is also the support of the king, in the future, the king will destroy the tyrannical Qin, with the power of Huanghuang, who dares not to obey?" ”

"But despite this, I'm afraid I can't force Zhao Jun to retreat, right?" Chen Sheng finally got moved after hearing this.

Liu Bang smiled: "Although the king can rest assured, there is a lobbyist under Ji, which is enough to persuade the military ministers to attack Linzi from the north, and the Zhao army will definitely be defeated and retreat, but the king still needs a letter to order him to send troops." ”

"This is really a clever plan, Pei Gong is clever." Chen Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he said: "But Lone's order, this person has already disobeyed the yang and the yin, at most he will be pretentious, and he will rely on the lobbyists under your command." ”

After hearing this, Liu Bang said boldly: "Haha, although the king can rest assured, Ji will definitely try his best to facilitate this for the king." (To be continued.) )
