Chapter 170: Planting Melons

The enemy of the enemy is the best partner to work with.

The relationship between countries is also very simple.

This truth, Li Yuan believes that Duo Bu should understand that he, who has been snubbed by Xiang Yu for a long time and is angry in his heart, will not miss the opportunity to attack Xiang Yu's lair this time.

Since Xiang Yu looks down on me, then show Liliang, let you see clearly, who helped you win the war between Julu and the Qin people, not those princes and kings who are not bullshit, but him - Yingbu.

Chen Ping was thoughtful, in terms of strategy and detailed planning, Chen Ping's ability does not need to be questioned, and the reason why Li Yuan's shili was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong was due to Chen Ping's indispensable.

From Yongqi to Guanzhong.

From occupying only one county to sweeping the land of Sanqin in Guanzhong, it is not that no one wants to challenge Li Yuan's authority, and some wealthy families in Feng Yi, Linxia and other places have also gathered some remnants of soldiers to make a plan to hold on, but before they can succeed, they are divided and disintegrated by Chen Ping one by one.

However, Chen Ping also has shortcomings.

Among them, in terms of overall measurement and co-ordination, Chen Ping's vision is not broad enough, and most of his focus is only on his own one-third of an acre, at most he is to extend it, and then pay attention to whether there are hostile shili around. For Shili, who is far away from his own territory and has no threat for the time being, Chen Ping pays less attention.

――。

Chen Ping was thinking about who was suitable to be a lobbyist, and Li Yuan didn't want to disturb his train of thought, so he took the helmet on the desk and ran towards Hongnongjian with a few young Langzhong.

No matter how good the strategy is.

If the implementation is not effective, it will also fail.

According to the strategy proposed by Han Xin, there are two keys to success, one is that Han Xin's lure of the enemy can succeed, and the Chu army is provoked out of the city to fight, and the other is that the water attack plan is successful, and the Chu army is flooded by floods, these two conditions can be said to be indispensable, especially the second point. The requirements for topography are very high. Hongnong Stream is three miles long, which section of it can be used as the site of the lake, and it is still necessary to plan and explore.

When Li Yuan arrived at Hongnongjian, he found that Jiang Yu had arrived first, and Jiang Yu, who had been stationed at Hangu Pass for more than a month, was very familiar with the terrain here.

"Li Hou. You see, this col is facing the valley road, and if we can cut off the stream and build a dam, in a few days it will become a lake to contain the stream. Jiang Yu gestured excitedly. His eyes were bright, as if he saw the picture of the Chu army being swallowed by a flood at the end of the valley road.

Li Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart was full of confusion. The war is ruthless and tight, either you die or I live, the plan to flood the Seventh Army is not without in history, and there are several recorded scenes of corpses all over the field.

"General Chiang, the work of blocking the stream and building the embankment will be completed by your department, and an ambush can be arranged on the high hill at the col. Once an enemy escapes. It can be chased. Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"No!" Jiang Yu replied loudly. Then he commanded the men and horses of the headquarters to start carrying stones and eradicating weeds. These projects can not be completed in one or two days, the soft mountain soil has quite high requirements for the embankment, Jiang Yu must always use large stones to fix the position, in order to block the seepage little by little.

――。

The next day.

As soon as Li Yuan got up, Chen Ping hurried over.

"Li Hou, when it comes to lobbying, is it appropriate to have one person arrive?" Chen Ping didn't wait for his breathing to stop, so he hurriedly admonished.

"I don't know who it is?" Li Yuan asked curiously. Lobbying is a jishu work that relies on lip service and guts, and people who have no ability and courage do not dare to go alone to the unfamiliar shili side to lobby, and now the situation in the Kanto region is that the princes unite to attack the Qin State, and in the case of enemies everywhere, it is not ordinary people who can do it by risking their lives.

"Therefore, the Marquis of Tanglin Zhaoping, now he is a kind of melon person in the Changshi Mansion, this person has a sharp mouth and extraordinary knowledge, and can take on this responsibility." Chen Ping said.

"Long history thinks that a kind of melon person can also be in this position?" Li Yuan was surprised. Chen Ping is not a person who does not know the importance of such a major event as lobbying for the overall situation, and it is even more prudent to recommend candidates, and now, although this Zhaoping recommended by Chen Ping has been the Dongling Marquis of Qin, his specific ability is unknown.

Summoning Ping.

This name Li Yuan is very unfamiliar, compared to Li Shiqi and Lu Jialai, because the Qin State is the defeated side, even if there are envoys wandering among the armies, the result of Zuihou is estimated to be either retreating or surrendering, no matter how bad it is, it is as unlucky as Li Shiqi, and it has become a head of the princes to invite merit.

"Li Hou, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, call flat to plant melons, when the melons are ripe, the fragrance floats around the neighbors, and is respected by a lot of neighbors. In this way, people who do not care about gains and losses, and can deal with changes with an open-minded attitude, generally think that they are people with great wisdom. Chen Ping insisted. In terms of looking at people, Chen Ping has full confidence in his eyesight.

"Okay, since Changshi recommends it, then let the quick Hangu see you, and then you must make it clear to him what things can be revealed and what needs to be kept secret. At the same time, Zhaoping's family stayed in Xianyang, and all the expenses they used were allocated by the government treasury. Li Yuan nodded and commanded.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The real situation in Guanzhong is now completely unfamiliar to the princes of all walks of life. Under Li Yuan's rule, the new Qin regime was like a phoenix nirvana, showing great vitality in agriculture, military affairs, construction and other aspects.

――。

Zhaoping was two days later, from Xianyang to Hangu, the former Tanglin Marquis of Qin, who was nearly forty years old, had a very peculiar face, yellow hair, sunken eye sockets, and a skinny body, which was really a sick seedling.

"Zhaoping, if you can lobby Tu Bu to oppose Chu this time, you will be a great achievement, and I can ask the imperial court to reserve the title of Marquis of Tanglin." Li Yuan's first words when he saw Zhaoping made the incoming lobbyist excited.

Zhaoping is so excited, not because he can make great contributions, but because of the inheritance of the title of Marquis of Tanglin, the Qin State Legalist ruled the country, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and passed through LΓΌ Buwei and Fan Sui, two talented Xiangbang, and then Han Fei and Li Si, two Legalist disciples for the development of the Qin State to formulate a number of systems.

The military lord system is one of the fundamental systems of the Qin State, which can be passed on to children and grandchildren, but it cannot be longer than three generations. From this point of view, the title of Marquis of Tanglin passed to Zhaoping's generation is over, and his sons and grandsons cannot enjoy the blessings brought by their ancestors.

This system of the Qin State effectively put an end to the phenomenon of only relying on one generation to develop, and then the children and grandchildren gnaw at the old, if it is insisted on to later generations, it is actually a kind of essence, compared to the so-called Confucian "courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, faith" blank check to have liliang more.

No further ado.

Zhao Ping embarked on the journey east with great excitement, accompanied by two Qin army warriors, whose mission was to secretly protect Zhao Ping's safety.

――。

Luoyang.

This small and peaceful city is now a large barracks.

On the edge of Luoshui, from time to time, there were Chu soldiers with red tassels leading their horses down the river to wash, and they unbuttoned their pants without any scruples, scattering a string of yellow turbidity in the clear river water.

Shore.

Several women who came to wash the water looked hesitant, carrying wet clothes in their hands, not knowing whether to enter or retreat, the clear river water in the past had been trampled by Chu soldiers and horses, and what made them feel even more embarrassed was that there were bold Chu pawns in the river who were naked, revealing ugly things under their crotches, showing off to the women.

It is located in a house on the bank of Luoshui.

Henan Wang Shenyang was sulking, and as soon as Xiang Zhuang, the young general, came, he unceremoniously occupied his palace, and said that he would take care of the overlord's residence.

Xiang Yu is still far away in Pengcheng and Dongjun, and he is not in a hurry to keep a place for him, Xiang Zhuang is obviously a fox and a fake tiger, occupying the property of Shenyang, a cheap prince. Perhaps in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, Shen Yang is just a dog raised by Xiang Yu, since it is a dog, where will there be any personal property, and everything in the dog will naturally belong to the owner.

"King, Major General Xiang has summoned the steward of the mansion to come over, according to Xiao's estimate, the wealth hidden in the house may not be able to be saved." Luo Yang made Zhang Zhonggong run in with a frightened face and reported to Shen Yang.

"What, what is the difference between this and the robber, and is there any heavenly reason, no, I will go to the overlord to sue him for Xiang Zhuang." Shen Yang hissed and scolded.

"Zhong Gong, you still know me best. The wolf-hearted things in the house are all not going to die well. Shen Yang scolded so much that he almost couldn't lift it in one breath.

After the arrival of the Chu army, although Shenyang did not betray his relatives.

But the people around him defected to the Chu people one by one, and now even the servants in the palace have fled, and at this time, in front of Shen Yang, only Zhang Zhonggong is still on the side.

Now, there are no more people, and the property that he finally collected has also been looted by Xiang Zhuang, which makes Shen Yang feel painful.

"The king, the overlord, it is estimated that the sue is also a confession, and the subordinates heard from the people in Pengcheng that the people of the Xiang family are very domineering." Zhang Zhonggong reminded in a low voice.

"Domineering, hmph, I, Shen Yang, am not something that anyone can bully, Zhong Gong, you go and pass on my orders, gather the team, I want to fight with Xiang Zhuang." Shen Yang was heartbroken, and he actually showed a rare pride.
