"And then?" Xiang Zhuang said again, "I'm afraid it's not enough to just take Ao Cang, right?" ”

"Of course not enough! Far from enough! Wei Yi stroked the long beard under his chin, and said, "The general takes Ao Cang, although it can make the coalition forces from all walks of life have no intention of fighting, but Liu Bang can also cut off the military power of the princes from all walks of life first, and then send the confidant general to lead the army to chase and kill the general, so that the big thing will be over." ”

Xiang Zhuang touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "After taking Ao Cang, then hit the girder in the east?" ”

"That's right, the east strikes the beam!" Wei Yu nodded happily and said, "It is best to capture Daliang in one fell swoop, then the Liang army will inevitably shake the hearts of the army, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, will definitely lead troops back to rescue Daliang, at this time, Liu Bang can only watch Peng Yue lead troops back to China, because if he seizes Peng Yue's military power at this time, not only Peng Yue will be resentful, but the rest of the princes will also be detached!" ”

"Wonderful!" Xiang Zhuang praised the festival, "When Peng Yue returns to the division of Daliang, our army will turn to the east and march eastward, and the troops will force Linzi!" ”

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang can only sigh, Wei Yi is worthy of being a soldier on the same level as Sun Wu and Wu Qi, and his strategic vision is to be deep and spicy, if he really faces such a situation, even Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are afraid and can only see the moves, and deal with them passively, because this is the so-called yang conspiracy, upright, and absolutely tricky!

"That's right, and then the army will be forced to Linzi again!" Wei Yi nodded, and said, "Although Han Xin, the king of Qi, is loyal to Liu Bang, but his loyalty to Liu Bang is the righteousness of brothers, not the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, once Linzi is in an emergency, Han Xin will also return to the division to save himself, Liu Bang did not dare to seize Peng Yue's military power before, and he did not dare to seize Han Xin's military power at this time!" ”

"Good!" Xiang Zhuang struck the festival again, and then said, "Is this the case next, when Han Xin returns to the Qi State, the Chu army will cross the Yellow River west to attack Zhaodi; After the Zhao army returned to the division, the Chu army crossed the Taihang Mountain to attack Korea; When the Han army returned to the division, the Chu army crossed the Yellow River west again, attacked Sanqin, and finally forced Liu Bang back to Guanzhong? ”

"Yes, that's basically the case with big strategy." Wei Yu nodded, and said, "As long as the general can force the soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life back to their respective nests, and Liu Bang wants to transfer them out, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, and the future battle between Chu and Han will be a contest between the general and Liu Bang!" ”

Wei Yi's words are not nonsense, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought a decisive battle under the wall, at the beginning it was also a heads-up between Chu and Han, until after suffering a defeat, Liu Bang listened to the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and divided the land of Huaisi to Han Xin and Peng Yue, and finally transferred the 400,000 troops of the two, which finally defeated Xiang Yu.

Now, Xiang Yu is dead, the state of Chu has existed in name only, Liu Bang wants to mobilize the army of Han Xin and Peng Yue, it will not be so easy, in the final analysis, Liu Bang is the king, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu They are also kings, they only regard Liu Bang as a brother, at most admit that he is another overlord, and never feel that Liu Bang is an emperor who is one level higher than them!

What's more, Liu Bang doesn't have another Huaisi land to give to Han Xin and Peng Yue!

But soon, Wei Yu let out a long sigh again, and said gloomily, "But the general has not thought about it, to complete such an unprecedented expedition, and finally return to Jiangdong, in the middle of the mountains and mountains, the journey is bloody, please forgive the old man for bluntly, with the general's existing five thousand people, I am afraid it will be difficult to do!" ”

Xiang Zhuang was silent, although now the world is full of soldiers and horses gathered in Huaisi, the Central Plains, Qidi, Hebei, and Guanzhong are all empty of garrisons, but Xiang Zhuang wants to achieve such an unprecedented expedition with 5,000 remnants, it is indeed difficult, you know, the Chu army is fighting alone, and it is difficult to get personnel replenishment on the way!

After a long time, Xiang Zhuang said: "Sir, how many people do you think?" ”

Wei Yu said: "If the soldiers and horses gather in Huaisi today, and the guards are empty everywhere, but to complete such an unprecedented expedition, the old man thinks that at least 30,000 elite soldiers are needed!" ”

30,000 elite soldiers? Xiang Zhuang could only shake his head.

Don't say 30,000, now 3,000 elite soldiers can't be put together!

Wei Yu sighed again, and then said: "Moreover, even if the general really has 30,000 elite soldiers, this matter is also extremely difficult, because before the general captures Aocang, there must be a general who leads a partial division to stay here and firmly attract the army of Liu Bang and the princes from all walks of life, and this is basically impossible. ”

Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly, this is indeed an impossible task!

If all the remnants of the 5,000 remnants are left, with the lofty mountains and mountains of Dabie Mountain and the complex and changeable terrain, it may be possible to temporarily contain the army of Liu Bang and the princes from all walks of life, but once Xiang Zhuang leaves with the main force of the Chu army, how can he hold back hundreds of thousands of coalition troops with only a small number of remaining remnants? And who to send to stay?

Huan Chu? Xiao Gongjiao? More than brave, not enough resourceful!

Jib? Zhong Lifu? Wisdom and courage, lack of courage!

Yuzi period? I have the ability, but I have never had the experience of being alone!

After a long time, Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Then sir, is there any other strategy to choose from?" ”

"It's gone." Wei Yu sighed and said, "It's still the same sentence, Liu Bang, the king of Han, has become a trend that has swept the world, if the Chu army can disintegrate the coalition army before Liu Bang divides the world, and force all the princes to return to the division to save themselves, there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise, you can only wait for Liu Bang to make a mistake, but in the humble opinion of the old man, Liu Bang is very far-sighted, and he will definitely not make a mistake!" ”

Xiang Zhuang was silent, Liu Bang didn't make a mistake, so he could only find a way to transfer the princes back to his country.

But the problem is that Xiang Zhuang doesn't have enough troops at all, and he also lacks generals who can block one side, which is really difficult for Xiang Zhuang.

Gao Chu next to him suddenly proposed: "General, it's better to attack Ao Cang directly!" ”

"Nope." Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he attacked Aocang now, he would have to walk in the mountains for at least half a month.

In this half a month, the coalition army has not been able to find the remnants of the Chu army, and they will definitely think that the remnants of the Chu army have collapsed in the mountains, so next, Liu Bang will definitely seize the opportunity to divide the world, and after the division is completed, it will be deprived of military rights.

Jing Qian suddenly clenched his fists and roared: "General, it's a death anyway, don't go so far as Aocang, just fight with the Han army in this Dabie Mountain!" ”

"Spell it out?" Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.

How can it be a big thing if you are afraid of the head and the tail, and suffer from gains and losses?

Stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, the left and right are a death, it's better to fight! Fight for your life, maybe you can still survive in death and kill a bloody way!

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang said to Wei Yu: "Sir, what if our army can fight so that the coalition forces dare not enter the mountain?" ”

"The coalition forces are so afraid to enter the mountains!?" When Wei Yu heard this, he was awe-inspiring, and he thought that the general was really a big breath!

However, if the Chu army can really fight so that the coalition forces dare not enter the mountains, then the Chu army will really have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

The reason is very simple, as long as the coalition forces dare not enter the mountains to clear and suppress, they only need to leave a small army, and they can fight the coalition forces of various countries to the end, and take this opportunity, Xiang Zhuang personally led the main force of the Chu army north out of Dabie Mountain, rushed to attack Aocang, and when the sneak attack on Aocang succeeded, it didn't matter if the coalition army saw through the truth.

It's just that it is possible to fight so that the coalition forces do not dare to enter the mountains?

"I know it's not easy, but no matter how hard it is, it has to be done!" Xiang Zhuang stood up, looked at the dark sky in the east, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Because, Da Chu has no way to retreat, we can only rush forward to make it possible to fight a bloody road!" ”

##########

On the mountain road leading to Quyang, Liu Bang personally led the army to the west.

At this time, the flood in Quyang County has not receded, all the galloping roads and roads have been flooded, and the army can only take the mountain paths, which is simply miserable.

However, Liu Bang did not give up the idea of pro-conquest because of this.

Because Liu Bang knows very well that Xiang Zhuang has replaced Xiang Yu as his number one enemy, Xiang Zhuang is not only a descendant of the Xiang family, but also shows enough bravery, first defeat Fan Xu, and then defeat Li Zuoche is proof! Liu Bang is not Xiang Yu, he will never raise tigers for trouble, and he will not give the remnants of Chu any chance to revivenation.

Of course, Liu Bang doesn't have to be in person, Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue can also clean up Xiangzhuang.

Liu Bang insisted on personally leading the troops to the expedition, mainly because he didn't want to give the princes a chance to lead the army alone, seeing that the world was about to be unified, and the princes were about to hand over their military power, Liu Bang was not willing to make extraneous branches at this time, for these princes and kings, Liu Bang was a hundred uneasy in his heart.

Liu Bang also thought about seizing the military power of all the princes now, and then sending his cronies to conquer Xiang Zhuang, but doing so will inevitably make Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and others dissatisfied, you Liu Bang is so anxious? Can't you trust us old brothers? Xiang Chu hasn't finished killing the rest of the sins, so he can't wait to collect our military power?

Once the princes and kings of all walks of life are dissatisfied, the situation will be complicated, these princes and kings are not fuel-efficient lamps, once they join forces to rebel, it is not a joke, so unless Liu Bang can be ruthless and cook them in a pot now, it is better not to deprive the military power.

After much deliberation, Liu Bang finally dismissed the idea of seizing power immediately.

can't seize power, and don't want to give the princes from all walks of life the opportunity to lead the army alone, Liu Bang can only personally lead the troops to the battle, fortunately, Xiangzhuang only has a few thousand remnants, and the territory is also a large part of Shouchun's palm, and now it is flooded by his own water, such a lonely army with no foreign aid and no foundation, is it not destroyed after turning over?

Although Xiang Zhuang defeated Fan Hao and Li Zuoche in a row, Liu Bang really didn't take him seriously.

No matter how powerful Xiang Zhuang is, can he be as powerful as Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu's 100,000 army was wiped out by him Liu Bang, and your Xiang Zhuang has thousands of remnants, is it possible that you can still beat my Liu Bang's 700,000 army!?

Therefore, no matter how hard it is, it will only be ten days and half a month's work, and patience is enough.

Three years of fighting Qin, five years of fighting Chu, and a full eight years of arduous journey, he Liu Bang has survived, and he still cares about this ten days and half a month?
