The general of Qi just gave Liu Bangjin an elk yesterday, Liu Bang let the cook kill it early in the morning, the meat has been stewed, so he invited Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to come to the big tent, while drinking and eating meat, while chatting to relieve boredom, it is said that Liu Bang has really been bored in the last half a month, so that Mrs. Qi's sleeves and waist dance are also greatly reduced.

At this time, Liu Bang was holding a deer leg and eating with his mouth full of oil, while praising the venison for being delicious.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are eating more than Liu Bang, a scoundrel in the market, and the three of them are eating happily, when Xiahou Ying suddenly strode in and made a report: "King, the messenger of Dangjun County asks to see!" ”

Dangjun belongs to the Liang State, and officials such as the county guard, the county guard, and the county lieutenant were naturally appointed by Peng Yue, but no one knows that Dangjun Juncheng has actually been secretly bought by Liu Bang, so when Peng Yue received an urgent report from Dangjun County, the messenger of Dangjun County Cheng also rushed to Liu Bang's camp at the same time, as for the messenger of Sanchuan County Shou Lu Ze, because it is far away, this will still be on the way.

"Dangjun County Courier?" Liu Bang waved his right hand and said with a big grin, "You called him in." ”

Xiahou Ying took the order and left, and after a while, he led a messenger who was drenched and walked in, the messenger knelt down, untied the package on his back, and held his hands high above his head, and then said miserably: "King, king, Xiang Yu has taken the army of Chu to occupy the six cities of Aocang, Xingyang, Chenggao, Guangwu, Jingyi, and Suoyi, and Dangjun is already in danger!" ”

"What? Xiang Yu?! ”

"The six cities of Aocang are lost?!"

Zhang Liang and Chen Pingping, who were sitting at the bottom, looked at each other and couldn't believe it.

Liu Bang was also taken aback, a large piece of venison just sent into his mouth suddenly slipped into the throat cage, and then stuck in the throat, neither down nor up, this guy choked Liu Bang, only in an instant, Liu Bang's face was already purple, his eyes bulged out, and he danced a few times, and fell to the seat.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed forward to help Liu Bang up.

Xiahou Ying also strode forward, according to Liu Bang's vest is two slaps, Liu Bang spit out the venison stuck in the throat cage with a "poof", and before he had time to catch his breath, Liu Bang crawled and turned around, grabbed Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's sleeves tightly, and exclaimed again and again: "It's over, it's all over, it's all over, Xiang Yu is not dead?" Xiang Yu, he's not dead yet?! ”

No wonder Liu Bang was so surprised, Chu and Han fought each other, five years of fighting, Liu Bang really suffered too much from Xiang Yu, this time he finally defeated him under the wall, and forced Xiang Yu to kill himself in Wujiang, I thought that Xiang Yu would pass like this, I never thought that now someone suddenly came to tell him that Xiang Yu was not dead, and he also took the army to occupy Aocang, this is still it?

"Don't worry, don't worry, although the king can rest assured, Xiang Yu is dead, Xiang Yu must be dead!" Zhang Liang comforted again and again, "Even Xiang Yu's head is now rotten at the bottom of Shouhu Lake, how can he come back from the dead?" This thing must have been done by someone else pretending to be Xiang Yu, no matter what, it couldn't be Xiang Yu's doing! ”

Chen Ping also said: "Yes, king, it will definitely not be Xiang Yu who attacked Ao Cang." ”

"Oh, it's not Xiang Yu." Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said, "I'll just say, Xiang Yu is already dead, how can he come back from the dead?" ”

After saying this, Liu Bang frowned again and asked Zhang Liangdao, "But the ovary, what's going on with Ao Cang?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Liang exchanged glances with Chen Ping, shook his head and said, "The king, the minister can't say it well." ”

This matter is indeed difficult to judge, although Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are wise, it is impossible for them to know things thousands of miles away.

Liu Bang touched the two beautiful mustaches on his lips, and suddenly said: "Ovary, shouldn't we be the golden cicada molting plan of Xiangzhuang Xiao'er?" ”

"It can't be." Zhang Liang said categorically, "Impossible!" ”

Chen Ping also said: "The king is too worried, there is no news of the Chu army violating the border from the Linjiang country, if nothing happens, the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang are afraid that they have already collapsed in the mountains." ”

Although Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are powerful, they are not immortals after all, they are also limited by their mindsets, they have not entered the deep mountains and old forests to investigate on the spot, and naturally they don't know that there are bamboo and rivers in the mountains, and they can just be rafted down the river, so they can't imagine that Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi can really stage a good show of golden cicada molting!

"Then......" Liu Bang said again, "who will be the one who attacked Ao Cang?" ”

"yes, who will be the one who attacked Ao Cang?" Chen Ping also echoed in a low voice, "Ao Cang Ling Chen Xuan was recommended by Lord Lu Ze, this person is also quite famous in Wei Di, he should not be a mediocre person, and Ao Cang is dangerous, and Xingyang, Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingyi, and Suoyi are its protectors, so how easy is it to talk about it?" ”

"yes, who will be the one who attacked Ao Cang?" Liu Bang nodded again and again.

"King, it doesn't matter who attacked Ao Cang now." Zhang Liang sighed, and said faintly, "As soon as Ao Cang is lost, our army's grain road will be intercepted, once this news spreads, the hearts of the allied forces will definitely be shaken, and Huaisi is rainy for days, and all the soldiers of all countries are thinking ......about it."

Chen Ping's expression moved slightly, and then said: "What's even more lame is that Dangjun is unstable, how can Peng Yue, the king of Liang, sit idly by?" If nothing else, Peng Yue is afraid that he has also received the news, and he should have already resigned from the king! ”

"Peng Yue is coming to resign? He wants to lead troops back to Liang? Liu Bang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Liang nodded, silently, this sudden situation, all of a sudden disrupted the overall plan of the King of Han, once the king of Liang Peng Yue led the army back to save Liangdi, the rest of the princes will inevitably follow suit, and then what will Liu Bang do to stop it? Once these princes and kings have returned to their fiefdoms, it will be difficult for the Han King to transfer him out again!

"Zifang, Peng Yue really came to resign, what should I do?" Liu Bang hurriedly said, "Let him go back?" ”

"How's that going to work?" Zhang Liang shook his head categorically and said, "King, at this time, let Peng Yue go back to Liangdi alone, but it will be difficult to collect his military power in the future." ”

"So......" Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Take away his military power now?" ”

Liu Bang was born a scoundrel in the market, and his actions have always been extremely ruthless, he believes that as long as Han Xin is on his side, even if he forcibly seizes power, the princes from all walks of life will never dare to make trouble, as for Han Xin, Liu Bang is still very confident in him, at least for now, Han Xin is definitely the most loyal lackey under his Liu Bang!

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Now that you are seizing power, there are advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to the king to choose how to choose." ”

After that, Zhang Liang carefully analyzed: "If you forcibly seize power now, the king has the full support of the king of Qi, and the princes from all walks of life will never dare to make trouble even if they are resentful, but after the princes from all walks of life return to their fiefdoms, they will definitely recruit troops and buy horses, if the king can quickly extinguish the remnants of the Chu army in various places, the princes from all walks of life will not be able to become any climate!" ”

Liu Bang frowned, and said, "What if you can't quickly extinguish the remnants of the Chu army?" ”

Zhang Liang sighed and replied, "If the remnants of the Chu army cannot be quickly extinguished, then the princes and kings will definitely rebel en masse, and they may even form an alliance with the Chu army to join forces to attack the king!" ”

Liu Bang said again: "Then the ovary thinks that the remnants of the Chu army in various places can be quickly extinguished?" ”

"This ...... The minister did not dare to assert it. Zhang Liang replied truthfully, "You must go to Liangdi and find out the truth of the army before you can draw conclusions. Although Zhang Liang did not say it explicitly, the implication was that there was little certainty of quickly extinguishing the remnants of the Chu army.

Liu Bang thought about it, suddenly showed a fierce light in his eyes, and said fiercely: "Or, just kill them all?" ”

Zhang Liang suddenly shuddered, and said hurriedly: "The king can't, if the king really kills all the princes, I'm afraid that even the king of Qi will turn his back on the king!" ”

Liu Bang spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?" ”

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and proposed: "For the sake of today's plan, there is no other way, the king might as well leave Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche in charge of the overall situation of Huaisi, and continue to besiege the remnants of Xiangzhuang, and the king will mobilize all the princes to go to Liang in the name of righteousness, and cooperate with the Liang army to crusade against the remnants of the Chu army. ”

Liu Bang frowned and said, "Can you leave Zhou Yin in Jiujiang County?" ”

Zhou Yin rebelled against Chu and returned to Han, which was originally very reluctant, if he was really left behind, what if he rebelled against Han in the future?

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "King, Jiujiang County is where Zhou Yin's foundation is located, at this time, if he sends someone else to stay in Jiujiang and transfers Zhou Yin's army to Liangdi, what will he think in his heart?" ”

"yes." Chen Ping also said, "Doing this can also show the benevolence of the king." ”

"The key is that Zhou Yin is easy to deal with, and with Jin She and Li Zuoche, he can't become a climate." Zhang Liang said again, "But if Huainan Wang Yingbu is allowed to stay in Jiujiang, it will take less than half a year, and Jiujiang County will become a ** kingdom, and if the king wants to transfer out the Huainan army, it will be difficult to climb to the sky." ”

Zhang Liang's words are the real key, in terms of ability and prestige, Zhou Yin is far worse than Yingbu.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Liu Bang nodded, and said, "What if the princes from all walks of life don't want to go?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "The princes of all walks of life have the most troops and the greatest credit, and the king had better go to the camp of the king of Qi, as long as the king of Qi expresses his support, the rest of the princes dare not object." ”

Liu Bang nodded, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Xiahou Ying, go and prepare the carriage!" ”

Before the words fell, Xiahou Ying came in and reported: "King, King Peng Yue of Liang is visiting!" ”

"Well, it's coming pretty fast." Liu Bang didn't have a good breath and said, "Then ask him to go with me." ”
