"It's a waste of the kindness of the King of Han to the people, but there is really no need to go to Hegu City......," the old man said, and then admonished Liu Bang, "But, from our current position, there is a Banyan City three miles to the west, and a Bailuo City to the south four miles ......."

"Although the cities are not big, they are all inhabited and have a certain amount of food reserves...... Especially Bailuo City, the villain heard that it seems that it has not been attacked by Yingzheng and sent troops, and it is now one of the few remaining cities in Qin and Chu. ”

"These are all better places to go, and the road is also close, and it is also a good thing for the Han King to march the army as soon as possible."

"Thank you for the old man's guidance, otherwise Liu Bang would really have to do the wrong thing in vain......" Liu Bang thought about it and felt that what the old man said was very reasonable, so he thanked him.

"King Han is serious, you are dedicated to the people, and the military situation is so urgent, and you are not willing to give up on us...... This makes us very moved, and we should thank King Han. The old man said.

"Then according to your idea, old man, I will immediately arrange to change the route and send the people to Rongcheng first." Liu Bang said. Although he was silent, he had already avoided the better-looking option of White Luo City.

Bailuo City has not been breached, this, of course, Liu Bang, who has a dense intelligence network, knows this, but because it has not been breached, but it has been living in this inner country of artillery fire, long-term refusal to defend the city will isolate people's hearts, and the people in the city will not believe in one person and one thing outside their city now, and just want to do their best to protect the peace of their city.

If Liu Bang led his troops to send the people there, it would definitely be considered an enemy attack, and it was likely to cause unnecessary disputes at that time...... And even if the misunderstanding can really be resolved, it will not be a good thing to let these Lingcheng immigrants migrate into the city, and there may be greater contradictions.

Just imagine, now the entire Qin and Chu are facing the crisis of ruin, more than 120 cities in the country have been destroyed, and tens of millions of people have suffered the disaster of broken families, but Bailuo City has escaped by luck, and the people in the city are still living in good health...... Isn't that fair?

At least people will feel very unfair in their hearts! It's like everyone in the world has died, and their relatives have died at home, but Bai Luocheng has stayed in a corner and escaped a catastrophe. People do not suffer from poverty, but suffer from inequality - unfairness is the potential cause of huge contradictions between society and people, and it is definitely not a good thing to let these hundreds of thousands of people go to Bailuo City.

"Well......" The old man seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Bang's decision, and then he asked, "The villain dares to ask again, after settling the people, what route does the King of Han plan to take to return to the border city?" ”

The route of the march is a very sensitive issue. So Liu Bang naturally hesitated, but instead he still said to the old man: "I plan to take the main road, the road is open and easy to march." ”

"But as far as I know, although the road is open, the distance is quite long, and I am afraid that it will delay the military situation......" the old man asked worriedly.

"It will indeed have some impact, but there is no way, now the number of troops I lead is as high as 150,000, and it is inconvenient to take shortcuts." Liu Bang said helplessly.

"Actually, it's not impossible...... King Han is willing to listen to the villain's strategy. The old man said.

"Naturally, I would like to listen, old man, please speak." Liu Bang said.

"As far as I know, the army under the command of the King of Han is now composed of 100,000 border city troops and 50,000 enemy rebels...... Why didn't the king of Han march them separately? ”

"Separated? How to divide it? Liu Bang was puzzled, "And the two armies have just been formed together, and the sudden division of the army is not conducive to harmony and stability of the army." ”

"King Han, listen to me, the 100,000 soldiers and horses that originally belonged to the border city have been fighting all year round, with strong reactions, fast speed, and familiar with mountain roads. Divide them into twenty detachments, each led by the general, and march from different remote shortcuts, so that they can rush to the border city in the shortest possible time and at the fastest speed, and suspend the urgency of the border city. ”

"Although the 50,000 rebels who defected from the enemy camp are physically strong, they are all new troops, and they are still inexperienced, so they are suitable for running from the main road in an orderly manner, and then rushing to the border city."

In addition, in order to speed up the adaptation to the different marching conditions of the two armies, all the dry rations in the army's salary could be sent to the border city army, which saved them the inconvenience of cooking and cooking on the rugged mountain roads, and allowed them to march faster. And the accompanying grain army followed the rebel troops along the main road, which was good for both sides. ”

"Sir, you're smart!" After listening to the old man's words, Liu Bang immediately praised in shock. "Dare to ask who is the master of the gentleman?" Liu Bang asked, although he was in a little hasty, but he really couldn't help it, this old man's remarks one after the other helped him solve the two problems he was most stressed, which was really extraordinary.

"The King of Han is too famous, the old man's name is He Su, a commoner, it turns out that he is just a prison guard in Lingcheng......" the old man said with a smile.

"Overkill! With the wisdom of a gentleman, how can he only be a jailer! Liu Bang sighed for the old man. But the old man just smiled and did not speak. But in an instant, Liu Bang's gaze changed, and a deep gaze appeared in his light purple pupils.

It's a gaze that can see through it at a glance. "But the gentleman is heroic and intelligent, why not find another job?" Liu Bang stared into the old man's eyes, and before he could finish speaking, the old man's face changed. Liu Bang's sentence of "heroic and heroic" was inserted deeper in his heart than the sentence "find another high", his expression was a little nervous, his eyes were dark, and he did not dare to face Liu Bang.

The atmosphere suddenly fell a little silent. Liu Bang stared at the old man for a moment, and then said again: "Since Mr. is willing to help me in danger, why don't you show your true face - is it because you can't trust me Liu Bang?" ”

"No, no, no! The villain didn't dare ......," the man said nervously, and then burst out laughing again.

"It's just that in these years of war in the country, young people, both men and women, have all been captured by the army, and I can't escape with this appearance...... " The man said, with a long sigh, he tore off the beard and wrinkles on his face in front of Liu Bang, and in an instant, the whole person took on a new look and appeared in front of Liu Bang as a young man.

"It's not easy to live in troubled times, I'm used to being cautious by nature, I have no malice to deceive the King of Han, and I hope that the King of Han will forgive my sins."

"Then now that you have shown your true face in front of me, can this king think that you trust me?" Liu Bang looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile.

The man could only smile and praised: "I have heard that the Han King is wise and wise, and he is not only a general...... When I saw it today, He Su bowed. ”

"Is your name really He Su?" Liu Bang was tepid and angry, only with a light smile on his face.

"Heh......" The man smiled, looked directly at Liu Bang's light purple pupils, and said, "Definitely." ”
