"Since the eldest lady of the Lu family, Pheasant Ji, fell out with King Wu Huan, it has been as difficult to find her whereabouts as if she had disappeared from the world, and her subordinates have used various means, such as execution, persecution, threats, inducements, etc., to deal with the heads of various shops in the Spring and Autumn Commercial Bank. However, it has never been possible to know the whereabouts of the eldest lady and the second miss, and no one knows about the Tao at all! ”

A young man wearing a high crown, a mustache on his lips, and a few feet of beautiful hair under his head, with a gentle temperament and a face like a crown of jade, stroked his chin and hair, and responded slowly in a calm tone.

"What Mr. Chen Ping said is extremely true! Not to mention the ability of the Lu sisters, even if we know the whereabouts of the Lu Dao, we can't do anything about it. Even if we reach them, the chances of our success in wooing them are also very small. Everyone knows in the world that the eldest lady of the Lu family is in love with King Wuhuan, although it is said that the two have fallen out, just because of the princess's mansion, it is unlikely that they will turn against each other, and the lord still puts his mind on business. ”

As soon as the handsome young man's voice fell, without waiting for Liu Bang to speak, Zhang Liang, who had facial features like flowers, quickly said in a loud voice, and his words were unceremonious.

"Uh......"

Hearing Zhang Liang say this, Liu Bang's expression froze, his face was extremely ugly, and he was angry but speechless.

Helpless, Liu Bang knew that Zhang Liang did not voluntarily assist him, but the martial arts myth Canghai Jun spoke, and Zhang Liang came to assist him because it was difficult to disobey his master's order. Therefore, he can't treat Zhang Liang as a real subordinate, plus Zhang Liang is indeed a genius, and it is unlikely that he will betray himself against his master's orders, so he should pay more attention to and trust.

However, the lord's actions this time have also gained a lot. found Chen Ping and Cao Shen, two great talents in governing the country, and Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Lu Juan and other generals of the town, this is a sign of prosperity! ”

Seeing the change in Liu Bang's expression, Zhang Liang sighed secretly and said in a soothing tone.

After all, since the master explained that he assisted Liu Bang in the struggle for world domination until he ascended the throne and became the emperor, then during this time, Liu Bang was his lord, and there was no need to have a stiff relationship with Liu Bang.

"What the gentleman said is very true. It's a pity ......"

Liu Bang's gloomy face softened slightly, and his tone was much softer.

It's a pity that Liu Bang didn't say anything. But Zhang Liang and others probably guessed it.

When looking for the Pheasant Ji sisters, the principal of the Spring and Autumn Commercial Bank, Liu Bang also wanted to accept the account as soon as possible and strengthen his strength and strength according to what Yiren said about his future founding heroes.

For example, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, the three kings of the early Han Dynasty, Chen Ping, who was a talented person, and fellow townsmen Fan Xu, Lu Juan and other historical celebrities, Liu Bang listed dozens of candidates.

Pity. Liu Bang overestimated himself too much. Except for the few people Zhang Liang said, others found it, but they ignored it or politely refused.

For example, Han Xin, who was already the Absolute Marquis of the Great Qin Empire, directly took down the people sent by Liu Bang to recruit and dedicated them to the imperial court.

For example, Xiao He, when the investigation was clear, Liu Bang learned that Xiao He was Cao Shen's boss (chief official) in the Surabaya City Prison where he was hiding, and when Liu Bang sent someone to contact him. encountered cold eyes, but fortunately recruited Xiao He's subordinate Cao Shen, who is also a talent. The protagonist of the allusion "Xiao Gui Cao Sui".

In particular, the two kings of Peng Yue and Yingbu have raised troops to revolt, and they did not give Liu Bang face at all, but humiliated and expelled.

In other words, top figures such as the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty and the Three Kings of the Early Han Dynasty, except for Zhang Liang, who was unwilling, Liu Bang did not succeed in recruiting any of them for the time being. However, he recruited a group of first-class celebrities, which comforted Liu Bang a little.

Of course, now Liu Banggong is not famous, and he has no strength, but his reputation is quite bad. Even the Lu clan didn't care about him.

Han Xin, Xiao He, Yingbu and other top figures naturally will not surrender easily, and it is not yet the time for Yiren to say, so Liu Bang is depressed and angry, but he is not disheartened.

"Why should the lord be in a hurry, the so-called whirlpool rots first. Today, the Great Qin Empire is still strong and prestigious. Now is not the time to raise troops, otherwise you will be attacked head-on by the Great Qin Empire! ”

Seeing that Liu Bang was quite worried, Chen Ping pondered and reminded.

"What Mr. Chen said, this seat is naturally clear! However, now Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have raised troops, using Daze Township and Qi County as bases to attack the Quartet; The Xiang clan has subdued the Yu clan and is preparing to cross the river; The remnants of the Six Nations are also gaining momentum. Now we still have nothing to do, and we have not built an army......"

Liu Bang's face darkened, and he replied in a low tone.

"The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find. Now that the lord has shown the trend of a prosperous lord, and capable people have gathered, how can it be said that nothing can be accomplished? ”

Zhang Liangyue raised her eyebrows, and retorted in a rather unhappy tone.

Liu Bang shook his head with a wry smile and was silent.

What Zhang Liang said, Liu Bang naturally knows it.

The problem is that in the history of the Inhumans, he had the financial support of the Lu family at the beginning, but now he is poor and white, and he is maintained by a mouth and the prestige of history.

The huge cost of building an army is unimaginable, and it will not be possible to form it even if Liu Bang is sold. What's more, Liu Bang is now supporting the historical celebrities who follow him, and he also feels extremely pressured, let alone building an army.

Zhang Liang said it easily, other forces are worried about the lack of talents, but now Liu Bang is worried about too many talents, but there is no source of funds and no base to support.

Today's Liu Bang has always been worried, and there is a feeling that his future is bleak.

"What the lord is worried about is just the funds for raising troops, and he doesn't necessarily have to find the Lu family. What's more, with such an obvious political transaction, the Lu clan, as one of the three major chambers of commerce, must be extremely cautious, which will make the lord miss the opportunity, plus the factor of King Wu Huan......"

Zhang Liang hesitated, smiled confidently and said slowly. After a pause, he didn't wait for Liu Bangduo to say, and said directly: "The possibility that the lord wants to recruit the Lu family is too low!" ”

Chen Ping, Cao Shen, Fan Xu and others all had their eyes lit up, and they bowed slightly in agreement.

"Uh......"

Liu Bang's face was hot, quite embarrassed.

Zhang Liang said, Liu Bang never knew what to do. However, apart from the Lu clan who assisted him in founding the country, who else could Liu Bang find?

The cost of maintaining an army is not something that one or a few wealthy people or businessmen can afford. Since ancient and modern times, the rise of every military power has always had a big businessman standing behind it, and the means of accumulating wealth have been used to the extreme.

In Liu Bang's wishful thinking, he and Pheasant Ji have a "husband and wife fate", and the political investment of the Lu family has also been successful, and the success rate should be relatively large.

However, Liu Bang forgot that the Lu family's political investment was successful, but the end was very tragic. Almost exterminated. Even, the founding heroes who followed themselves in the history of Inhumans basically did not end well. Liu Bang wants to "tempt" them with the history that strangers say, how could they not worry about history coming true?

What's more, the history of the Inhuman is the history of the Inhuman, and it is not the same as the world of this world.

"Does the lord still remember the incident of Hangu Pass?"

Zhang Liang said this, naturally he didn't mean to hit Liu Bang, and quickly asked in a changed tone.

"The matter of Hangu Pass? Something to do with King Wu Huan? Liu Bang asked slowly and vigilantly.

Right now. As soon as Liu Bang mentioned something related to King Wu Huan, he had a little headache like a conditioned reflex, and he had a premonition that it was not good.

"Brother Zhang means...... The Bai clan? ”

Chen Ping reacted quickly, and when the others were still confused, Chen Ping's eyes lit up and asked.

"That's right! Although the wealth resources of the Bai family are far inferior to those of the Lu family, the Bai family is an authentic top wealthy family, an official family, and it is easier to accept political investment. Plus the killing god Bai Qi fell Bolangsha. A large number of elites such as Bai Zhong, the patriarch of the Dai Clan, and Bai Baye, the No. 2 person of the Bai family, fell into Hangu Pass, making the Lu clan scarce and weak. Confusion. The so-called puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Bai clan is now at the time of life and death, if they do not cooperate with other forces, or take refuge, they will naturally only be annexed, or even wiped out. On the contrary, we have a large number of talents and strong strength, but we have no base, no funds, and no resources. It just complements the Bai family. If the lord extends an olive branch this time......"

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled, and talked eloquently.

"Hit it off!" Cao Shen's spirits were greatly lifted.

"Even if you don't win, it's not far away!" Zhang Liang replied with a smile.

"It's doable, and it's the best object right now! However, the Bai clan follows the old Chu royal family. belongs to the old Chu Bai Gongsheng's lineage, although he has already rebelled out of Great Qin, even if he will not raise troops in the name of the old Chu royal family, it is more likely to accept the old Chu power, right? ”

Chen Ping nodded slowly in contemplation, and then asked questions.

Bai Gongsheng is the grandson of King Chuping. The son of Prince Jian, people called him Wang Sun Sheng at that time, and he was called Bai Gong. And the Bai clan is a descendant of Bai Gongsheng, so the killing god Bai Qi is also called Gongsun Qi.

"Hmmm! I'm also a little confused, I believe that there is a lot of power to win over the Bai clan, and now we have no soldiers and no power, how can we say that the Bai clan is moved? Cao Shen asked closely.

"This is natural, it depends on how the lord acts!" Zhang Liang smiled weirdly and looked at Liu Bangying.

Liu Bang's eyelids jumped inexplicably, and he opened his mouth to ask and stopped stiffly......

"Brother Zhang can just say it directly, why do you need to sell it!" Cao Shen urged angrily.

"Compared to other forces, we have several advantages. First, everyone in the world knows that the lord and King Wuhuan are not in harmony, which can be described as the same situation, which is equivalent to having a common enemy with the Bai family, this is the name; Second, the lord is the lord of the true dragon, and the Han Gaozu in the mouth of the alien is the one who is the most promising person to win the world, and everyone's assistance is the best proof of the potential; Third ......"

Speaking of the last point, Zhang Liang suddenly paused and didn't say anything.

"The teacher is famous, and the behavior is powerful. There is indeed a great possibility of joint success. However, the third point ......"

Chen Ping nodded, suddenly realized, and then looked at Zhang Liang suspiciously, the third advantage Chen Ping really couldn't think of.

It was Fan Xu, Lu Xuan, Xiahou Ying and others who were also puzzled and curious and looked directly at Zhang Liang.

"It's enough to be famous and powerful, and the third point is insignificant, so don't talk about it!"

Liu Bang was inexplicably frightened, and hurriedly interjected.

After a period of contact, Liu Bang understood Zhang Liang's style a little. Looking at Zhang Liang's expression and tone, Liu Bang intuitively felt that there must be nothing good.

"The lord is wrong in what he said! The most important point is the third point...... Otherwise, the Bai clan really won't accept it! ”

Zhang Liang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a calm and solemn tone......
