Zhang Liang said: "King, this cavalry is enough, but the minister is more worried about the situation in Jiujiang." ”

Chen Ping nodded, and also said: "Yes, the king, from the perspective of time, the time when this letter was sent was at least ten days ago, that is to say, at least ten days ago, Li Zuoche, Jin She and Zhou Yin had already defeated Liyang City, plus the Hengshan Kingdom had also perished, and there were only three ways left for the coalition army besieging Jiangdong. ”

At this time, after more than half a month of running, Mei Kai had already fled into Guanzhong with Wu Chen, the prince of Hengshan Kingdom, so Liu Bang and Zhang Liang already knew that Hengshan Kingdom had perished, but because the mountains and rivers were far away and the roads were blocked, they did not know that Dongou Kingdom had actually perished, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, had also withdrawn.

Liu Bang said thoughtfully: "Zifang, are you worried that Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er will attack Jiujiang after he eases up?" ”

"It's an inevitable consequence." Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche are all Han generals, although Jiujiang County is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong Bashu, it is also the territory of the king, once Guanzhong recovers, the king can use Jiujiang County as a springboard at any time to send troops to attack Jiangdong, for the Chu State, Jiujiang County is like a dagger on their soft underbelly, with the ruthlessness of Xiangzhuang, how can you not see this?" Therefore, he will definitely take this opportunity to seek Jiujiang. ”

"Seeking Jiujiang County?" Liu Bang frowned and said, "Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er has just sat on the throne of the king of Chu, and I'm afraid that he hasn't even straightened out domestic affairs, plus he has just been besieged by the Seven Route Alliance, although the Hengshan Army and the Jiujiang Army have been defeated, can he still have the spare strength to seek Jiujiang County?" Ovary, are you a little worried? ”

Chen Ping stroked his long beard under his chin, and said: "King, Xiang Zhuang is not Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu has a fan increase and can not be used, Xiang Zhuang has a lot of trust in the late Qin Taiwei Wei Yu, now although Wei Yu is dead, but Xiang Zhuang is also a climate, and a large group of capable people have gathered under his command, which cannot be underestimated." ”

Liu Bang's expression suddenly became solemn, since Yingbu, a traitor, occupied the three counties of Xue, Surabaya, and Donghai, only Jiujiang County was left in the vicinity of Jiangdong in the Great Han Kingdom, and in the future Chu and Han conflicts, the strategic location of Jiujiang County can be described as extremely important.

After a moment of silence, Liu Bang said again: "But the ofan, now that Guanzhong's vitality has not recovered, and the cavalry has not been trained, it is impossible to send a large army to Jiujiang, if it is only to send thirty or twenty thousand horses to go, it will not help at all, so even if Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er has the intention to seek Jiujiang, you and I are also beyond the reach of the whip and helpless?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "King, Liang has a plan, which can make Peng Yue, Xiang Zhuang, and Yingbu fight against each other, and Jiujiang may be preserved!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bang was immediately interested when he heard this, and asked a little eagerly, "Say it quickly, will the plan be released?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "In ancient times, the banquet killed three soldiers with two peaches, and today the king might as well follow the example of the sages, and the next royal edict will first reward Jiujiang County to Huainan Wang Yingbu, and then secretly order Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche to secretly deceive Peng Yue, the king of Liang, but the people and horses are still stationed in Jiujiang and do not leave. ”

"Ovary, isn't the plan of the three tigers competing for food a little too simple?" Liu Bang couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he heard this.

Liu Bang has countless shortcomings, but he is very self-aware, he knows how many catties and taels he has, and he never thinks how wise and martial he is, but Zhang Liang's plan to compete for food with the three tigers, even he Liu Bang can see it clearly, how can the strategists under Yingbu and Xiang Zhuang's accounts not be able to see through it?

Zhang Liang waved and said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, the simpler the plan, the more unsolvable, as long as Xiang Zhuang, Peng Yue, Yingbu and the heart of Jiujiang are involved, they will definitely obediently enter the hub!" ”

Liu Bang nodded, and then asked: "Then the ovary, why did you give the righteousness of Jiujiang's governance to Yingbu, and let Zhou Yin and them secretly deceive Peng Yue?" Why can't they let Zhou Yin and them deceive Yingbu, and then give the power of Jiujiang to Peng Yue? What's the difference between the two? ”

"Of course there is a difference!" Zhang Liang said, "Liang King Peng Yue has clear grievances and good face, if Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche deceive Liang Guo, Peng Yue will most likely 'hand' Jiujiang to the three of them to control, but Yingbu is suspicious of his 'sex', and there are strategists like Kuaiche in front of the tent, once Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche raise their troops to match, they will inevitably be transferred from Jiujiang by Yingbu." ”

"Kuicher, it's Kuicher again." Liu Bang looked at Chen Ping and said with a face full of shame, "When I was in Huainan, if only the widow had listened to Chen Ping's persuasion and killed Kui Che, alas, ......"

Liu Bang did regret a little, if he had killed Kuaiche with a knife, he would have no chance to instigate Yingbu to betray him Liu Bang, Yingbu did not betray, Xue County, Donghai, and Surabaya counties would not have been lost, with Donghai and Surabaya County as backing, Jiujiang County would not be afraid of Xiangzhuang's Chu army, which is really a matter of moving the whole body.

But it's too late to regret it now, Liu Bang's only hope is that Zhang Liang's Three Tigers competition plan can work, and Xiang Zhuang, Yingbu and Peng Yue can fight in Jiujiang in the dark, and all three will lose!

Five days later, Liu Bangmi's envoy rushed to Jiujiang day and night, and Zhou Yin also arrived in Wuzhong.

At the time of the audience, Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other Chu civil and military officials all glared angrily, if the eyes could kill, Zhou Yin at this time would have been divided by the "chaos" knife, obviously, in the eyes of Xiang He and others, Zhou Yin He is a complete traitor, and if it were not for his betrayal, the first king may not be defeated, let alone kill himself in Wujiang.

The hateful eyes of everyone made Zhou Yin feel like a thorn in his back, but for the future and fate of more than 20,000 soldiers in Jiujiang, and for the future and fate of the Zhou family, he Zhou Yin still had to endure it. ”

Zhou Yin is also single, and he directly made his guilt clear, you Xiang Zhuang can do whatever you want, if you are willing to let our Zhou family go, our Zhou family will never think about it from now on, if you Xiang Zhuang is not willing to let it go, you have to take our old Zhou's head to pay tribute to Xiang Yu's spirit in the sky, then our Zhou family and Da Chu will no longer have any affection.

"King, Zhou Yin is deeply guilty, if you don't kill him, how can you comfort the first king in the heavenly heroic spirit?!"

"That's it, this guy sent the 'door' by himself, and he can't be let go no matter what he says today, hum!"

Although Xiang He and Xiang Tuo hated Zhou Yin to death, neither of them was a person without eyesight, they knew that they must not express their position easily at this time, otherwise once it did not conform to the king's wishes, there would be no room for things to turn around, however, Huan Chu and Ji Bu, the two big bosses, did not have much scruples, and they made a loud noise at the moment.

Xiang Zhuang frowned lightly when he heard this, of course Zhou Yin couldn't be killed, although he turned his back on Great Chu at a critical moment, he also caused great harm to the Chu State, but he could put all the guilt of Xiang Yu's defeat and self-slaughter of Wujiang on Zhou Yin's head, it was also extremely unfair, Xiang Yu's tragedy, the biggest "temptation" was himself.

What's more, Zhou Yin is not just Zhou Yin, if Zhou Yin is just a lonely person, if he kills him, he will kill him, Xiang Zhuang will not even frown, but the problem is that behind Zhou Yin, there is also the Zhou family that has been entrenched in Jiujiang for many years, flourishing and powerful, and there are more than 20,000 Jiujiang soldiers under Zhou Yin's command.

Whether it is out of the consideration of encircling the Zhou family, or out of the consideration of absorbing the Jiujiang Army, Zhou Yin can't be killed, not only can't he be killed, but he also has to be comforted, encouraged, and even reinstated as an official, but everything has a reason, you can't pardon Zhou Yin for no reason, and give him official reinstatement, or it will be a reward and a punishment!

So I have to list some credit for Zhou Yin, but this matter can't be done by Xiang Zhuang himself.

Xiang Zhuang's current identity is already the king of Chu, not a general, with the change of identity, he is bound to no longer be able to directly refute the opinions and opinions of Huan Chu and Ji Bu as before, you think, the king of a country, but he has to go into battle shirtless and compete with his courtiers, once or twice is okay, where is your Wang Wei after a long time?

Therefore, he Xiang Zhuang must not come forward directly, and he has to find someone to say his words.

Xiang Zhuang's gaze slowly swept from the Wenchen generals on the left and right, Baili Xian, Tian Heng, Zi Cheshi, and Xi Qilie are not old Chu people, and it is obviously inappropriate to be involved in this matter, not to mention that the effect is not good, I don't have to have a grudge with Huan Chu and Ji Bu, these Chu army generals, as for Xiao Kai, Zhong Liwu and Yu Ziqi, don't expect them to speak for Zhou Yin.

In the end, Xiang Zhuang's eyes finally fell on Xiang He's face, and it seemed that only Xiang He was suitable.

Seeing the king's eyes fall on him, Xiang He sighed in his heart, from his heart, he also agreed to kill Zhou Yin, in order to tell the king of the spirit in the sky, however, looking at the look on the king's face just now, he obviously disagreed with killing Zhou Yin, and even faintly had the intention of being lenient and encouraging Zhou Yin.

"The king, but the minister doesn't think so." Xiang He took a step forward and said loudly, "The minister thinks that although General Zhou Yin is wrong, he can change his mistakes, and he is very good, so not only should he not be punished, but he should be rewarded!" ”

When the words fell, Tang Shangwu was in an uproar, not only Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai and other Chu army generals couldn't believe their ears, but even Bai Li Mao, Zi Che Shi, Xi Qilie, and Tian Heng were also shocked with their faces, only Bai Lixian gently shook the feather fan, and the corners of his mouth "revealed" a trace of a smile that was really like this.

Although Xiang Zhuang had no expression on his face, he was already happy to bloom in his heart.

Earlier when he was in Aocang, Wei Yu once commented on Xiang He, saying that he had the talent of a prime minister, the old man was really a wise eye, Xiang He was really a prime minister, he Xiang Zhuang was just an eye, Xiang He knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to do, such a virtuous talent, even compared to Xiao He, was not inferior to "color".

ps: Some people say that the communication in the book is faster than the radio, I wonder, the book clearly "handover" the time transition, for example, the battle of Liyang, Guanzhong got the news ten days later, could it be that Jin She and Li Zuoche sent a messenger to Guanzhong to report the news, and they couldn't get to Xianyang in ten days? Is this also called faster than radio?
