Chapter 259: First Contact

Why can Qindi Liyang become the location of the alliance?

Because Liyang is in the east of Qindi, Qinguan is the only place to pass through the three Jins, and it is also the transportation hub of Guanzhong, since ancient times, the merchants who have entered and exited Qinguan have passed through here, and the business has been very developed, there is a fairly mature Qin Road, and it is the middle of the eight vassal states, so it can save time and efficiency.

Historically, Liu Bang used Han Xin to return the three Qin, the climate capital was established in this city, Liyang has since become the base camp of the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang eliminated Xiang Yu to ascend the throne and called the emperor, he built the capital of the Han Dynasty here, until a few years later before moving the capital to Chang'an.

The princes do not have a large army, but the defense is indispensable.

Zhang Han deliberately set up a large camp in the way of marching and arranging in Weiping Thirty miles away from Liyang, and all the princes and kings have exclusive and relatively independent space, and the Xingyuan area is facing the Qin Road, and it is very convenient to enter and exit.

Qin Ge stood on the bronze chariot, he was holding an envoy's staff, and he was leading a small group of people to appear on the straight road, and he could see from a distance that the teams of the princes from all walks of life were slowly approaching.

"Ahead is Henan Wang Shenyang?"

Shenyang, the king of Henan, was the youngest prince.

He doesn't seem to have the slightest prince's shelf, and the guards he brings are only a hundred, and even the bronze chariot he drives looks quite shabby, and the one pulling the cart is not a rare beast, nor a war horse of a divine horse, but actually two old cows, who came early, for fear of being late, it can be seen that the heart is weak.

Shen Yang has a short stature and a very mediocre appearance, if he is thrown on the street, even a traveling bachelor may have a better temperament than him, so that people can't see that he is a prince and a king at all.

This Shen Yang was originally Zhang Er's subordinate.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu had a close relationship, and the two jointly launched the Zhao Di Uprising.

Later, Xiang Yu divided Zhao Di into two, Zhao Xie was divided into acting kings, and Zhang Er was named the king of Changshan. Even Shen Yang under Zhang Er was named the king of Henan, but Chen Yu was not crowned king.

Therefore, Chen Yu held a grudge and supported Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao and drove away Zhang Er, the king of Changshan.

Shen Yang is in an embarrassing situation now, his country is very small, the army is less than five people, the combat power and equipment are relatively backward, there is no foundation for the foundation, there is no prestige for prestige, and there is no army for the army.

He wasn't even sure how to deal with any of the princes.

Where can anyone have the courage to resist the invincible Xiang Yu in the world?

But the fiefdom of the king of Henan is really unfortunate.

In the north is Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei, Gongao, the king of Linjiang in the south, Liu Bang, the king of Han in the southwest, and the princes of Sanqin in the west.

Does Shen Yang dare not join?

That's a group fight if you don't agree with each other!

Shen Yang was afraid that he would be the first to be destroyed in front of the Seven Kingdoms, and he and the Chu State still had a Korean buffer, so he simply joined the alliance head-on, and talked about the future later.

"Guide the envoy Qin Ge!"

"Guanzhong is really outstanding, and the envoys are so extraordinary. Shen Yang was very polite, stepped off the bronze car, and personally took a gift and sent it, "The national small army is weak, a thin gift, ask for a way through." ”

"The king of Henan is too polite. "This person who looks mediocre is actually very delicate and meticulous, but if you think about it, you also know that those who can become princes, except for a few who rely on luck, most of them are not simple, Qin Ge accepted the gift, and he knew each other, "Please enter the camp and talk to King Yong!"

Shen Yang hugged his fists again.

The bronze cart pulled by oxen drove into the camp.

This king of Henan, who is introspective, clear-headed, cautious, moves from time to time, and may be available in the future.

Less than half an hour.

The two troops came at an astonishing speed, you chase me as if in a race, judging from the banner, one is Wei Bao, the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the other is Gongao, the king of Linjiang.

There are a lot of war scum among the eighteen princes.

But the strength of these two is good, so they must be skilled first, and they may be useful in the future.

"Hahaha, it's this king who arrived first!"

Wei Bao is burly, wearing golden armor, with sideburns and a big beard, he is a middle-aged man with a bold appearance, his blood is also very strong, and his martial arts cultivation is at least eightfold, and he seems to be a master who is not weak.

According to Qin Ge's knowledge, Wei Bao was by no means so heroic and straightforward as he looked.

During the Chu-Han War, he first belonged to Xiang Yu, then to Liu Bang, and then to Xiang Yu, and was finally killed by Han Xin Powei. In general, lustful and greedy are easy to be bought, and he is a two-faced and three-faced smiling tiger.

As for Linjiang Wang Gongao?

Gong Ao is very tall, looks emaciated, has sunken eyes, a goatee, wears a Taoist robe, and is surrounded by ghosts, it should be a Taoist cultivator who cultivates yin and yang.

This person is a nobleman of the Warring States Chu State, with a gloomy and despicable personality, but he is very ambitious.

The king of Western Wei was arrogant and capricious, and the Linjiang Wangcheng Mansion was extremely ambitious, neither of them was a good alliance, and before supporting Zhao Kuangyin to become the leader of the general alliance of the princes in the future, these two people must find a way to get rid of them.

Qin Ge thought so in his heart, but greeted him with a smile on the surface: "The envoy of the King of Xiayong, when I have been waiting for the king here for a long time, please follow the two kings into the camp." ”

When Gong Ao looked at Qin Ge, his pupils seemed to have a ghostly fire beating: "You are the envoy of King Yong?"

Qin Ge felt energy sweep over his body.

In vain!

Gong Ao supports the eightfold cultivation of the Taoist family, its strength is about the same as Zhao Gao, maybe a little stronger, looking at Huaxia, it can indeed be among the first- and second-tier masters, but in Qin Ge's eyes, it is not enough at all!

Zhang Liangfan Zengshang couldn't see through the details of Qin Ge.

Just rely on him to dream!

"Hahahaha, I really don't know Mount Tai, this is the famous Qin Ge! In the past, at the Hongmen banquet, he was greatly praised by King Xiang!" Wei Bao still remembered the Hongmen banquet and walked in front of Qin Ge, "Mr. Qin actually became the envoy of King Yong, it is really a bit unexpected!"

Qin Ge said a few polite words.

Let them be brought into the camp.

The third batch is Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan.

Qin Ge paid special attention to observing this person, because according to Qin Ge's knowledge, Liu Bang ascended the throne and became the emperor, successively killed Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other generals, and even made a White Horse Covenant, and those who were not surnamed Liu were crowned kings to fight the world together, that is to say, it was clearly stipulated that the princes and kings of the opposite sex were not allowed to appear.

Wu Rui is indeed the only special case.

This shows at least three points, first, Wu Rui is not very threatening, far inferior to Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu. Second, Wu Rui was absolutely loyal to the Han Dynasty, and there was basically no possibility of rebellion. Third, Liu Bang especially trusts Wu Rui, and Wu Rui also has his existence value.

Wu Rui is quite a native of Jiangxi Province.

Now Jiangxi belongs to the land of the Southern Barbarian Baiyue, Wu Rui can be said to be a native of the Southern Barbarian Chu, but although he was born in the tribe in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarians, Wu Rui is free to familiarize himself with the art of war of Sun and Wu, and yearns for the Central Plains culture, and the practice is also Confucianism.

When Qin Ge saw Wu Rui.

I can't even tell that this is a Nanban leader.

Wu Rui is relatively thin and small, only 1.6 meters in appearance, completely Confucian from head to toe, over fifty years old, with peaceful eyes, and is an elder who looks benevolent and gentle.

"The princes will be in the alliance, the stakes are very high, thank you for the great help of the three Qin kings. ”

"King Hengshan is too polite!"

Qin Ge's gaze fell on the guards behind Wu Rui, mixed with some burly brute soldiers, looking at the muscles thicker than his thighs, he knew that the combat power of these Southern Barbarian alien races was not a joke.

Wu Rui gave him a little headache.

This guy controls most of the Baiyue region, he was born in the Nanban human tribe, so he has a high reputation in the local area, although the mountains are endless and the forests are numerous, but the bandits are fertile and easy to cultivate, and can become a large granary with rich outputs, so that Liu Bang does not have any worries.

The land of Baiyue, the mountains and rivers are restored, the territory is deep, the Jianghuai water network is like a weaving, and the barbarian tribes are dotted, and no one can swallow it in one bite, so it is not easy to eliminate Liu Bang's henchman.

Although Wu Rui's territory is large, the population is large.

However, the land of barbarians is too loosely managed, and there are not many troops that can be mobilized, but the land of King Hengshan and King Hanzhong is completely connected, and it can form a huge depth. His close connection and relationship with Liu Bang can be said to be a problem that Qin Ge can't get around.

It was not easy for Qin Ge to support Zhao Kuangyin to become the leader of the princes' alliance.

Liu Bang Hanzhong and Wu Rui Hengshan, the area of the two princely states is more than the other six kings of the Eight Kings Alliance combined, and they are all easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Qin Ge thought about it while formally acquainting with Wu Rui.

After Wu Rui was sent away, the last team to arrive was naturally Liu Bang, the king of Han.

Qin Ge looked at it from a distance, Liu Bang's team was about 3,000 people, from the King of Han himself to the Putong clan, all wearing white scarves and white silk, and carrying sacrificial spirit flags in their hands.

It's just a large funeral team, isn't it!

Qin Ge came to them in a chariot, his gaze swept over, Liu Bang appeared at the front of the team, and on his left and right stood a sunny and handsome Taoist, and an old general in cloth with gray hair.

Who else could this person be if it wasn't Chen Ping?

It's just that on this occasion, the two can only pretend not to know each other!

Qin Ge's eyes fell on the old general, this person had dark and rough skin, his hair was messily tied together, he was wearing a cloth shirt, holding a sword in his left hand, his temperament was very special, always smiling, like a strange man in the rivers and lakes, giving people a sense of uncertainty.

This should be Peng Yue, right?

The originator of the military guerrillas!

Peng Yue is the only guy who makes Xiang Yu helpless.

Now this military wizard who is not well-known at present, because the King of Han joined the war of the princes in advance, does not know how he will perform on the battlefield in the future. As for others, such as Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, etc., Qin Ge has had a relationship.

Lose a Han Xin, get a Peng Yue.

temporarily lost Zhang Liang, but got Chen Ping in advance.

Hanwang's current lineup can't be said to be bad, but it is much inferior in comparison.

Although it was only about half a year apart, Qin Ge's temperament had changed dramatically, and it could be said that he was the same as the two of them at the beginning, and it was impossible to tell the difference if he didn't observe carefully.

Fan Hao was the first to recognize him: "Aren't you that guy from Hongmen!"

Isn't this the same scholar who pushed himself into the dunghill in the first place? King Han also recognized it!

How could Qin Ge appear here? Why did such a person take refuge in King Yong? Why is he still unknown? Why did he take refuge in King Yong, Zhang Han? When Liu Bang discovered that the situation in Guanzhong seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

Qin Ge personally took Liu Bang into the meeting place.

This meeting with several major princes was the first close contact, which gave him a preliminary evaluation of these princes, which was of great help to the formulation of future strategies.
