Chapter 294: Zhang Liang enters the Qin Pass

Liu Bang, the king of Han, urged Xiao He to start forcibly recruiting new troops and grain and grass to save the emergency!

Xiao He is the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a famous prime minister in Chinese history, he can achieve such a status, naturally Xiao He is powerful, in fact, when the news of the defeat of the Han army in Pengcheng was sent back by Feixin, he immediately understood what he should do, so he fully rolled out all channels to send troops and grain to Luoyang.

There are more than 200,000 troops in the land of Shu Han.

If you catch a strong man, you can make up more than tens of thousands.

Xiao He personally went to several princes and kings to mediate, and successfully got 100,000 reinforcements from Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, Guanzhong was rich in population to ensure that the grain and grass were sufficient, and when Liu Bang did not return to Luoyang, a new batch of troops and grain and grass had been delivered.

Liu Bang's biggest headache at present is that the king of Western Wei and the king of Linjiang began to waver.

The strength of the two princes and kings is not weak, and if they want to confront Xiang Yu, they can't do without their support.

Liu Bang found Zhang Liang to discuss, and after Zhang Liang got Liu Bang's consultation, he said unhurriedly: "The king of Western Wei and the king of Linjiang were not sincere in aiding the Han Dynasty, and now the king of Chu is sharp and can't dodge, how can he send troops again?"

Liu Bang was anxious: "This king heard that Wei Bao and Gongao are asking for peace with Pengcheng, if Xiang Yu orders them to send troops to the Han army, we will face the crisis of a fire in the backyard!"

Zhang Liang shook his head, he didn't approve.

"The personality of the overlord of Chu is known to the world, not to mention the arrogant personality of the overlord of Chu, most of them will not be taken into account, even if they really accept the two kings' sue for peace, the king of Western Wei and the king of Linjiang will not be stupid enough to attack the Han army, this is a way to cut off the way back. No one knows if the Overlord of Chu will settle accounts with them, after all, the Overlord of Chu has a ruthless character who will take revenge. ”

It makes sense, nine times out of ten, the overlord of Chu will not accept the request for peace.

Even if they accepted the request for peace and ordered the king of Linjiang and the king of Western Wei to attack the Han army, these two princes and kings of the wall grass would not be able to move seriously, after all, no one is stupid and will not dig their own graves, so although they have temporarily lost strong reinforcements, the fire in the backyard is not enough.

"As long as the two key areas of Hanzhong and Guanzhong are not lost, the king of Han has enough food, grass and soldiers and horses, and now is not the time to ask the two kings to change their minds, but to boost morale and stabilize their positions in the confrontation with Chu. Zhang Liang paused slightly, "Xiang Yu made at least three big mistakes this time, these three big mistakes are enough to put him in a desperate situation, does King Han know which three big mistakes they are?"

King Han pondered for a moment.

Liu Bang's biggest characteristic is that he has a very high level of understanding, and he can understand almost a point.

"The first one is that Xiang Yu shouldn't kill King Han!"

"Xiang Yu's killing of the king of Han can deter the princes, but it also makes the princes fall into fear of the Chu State, which will instead arouse the princes' resistance and fighting spirit. When Zhang Liang said this, he also felt a little guilty in his heart, Han Cheng still did not escape his fate after all.

King Han said: "The second is that Xiang Yu should not withdraw his troops from Qi Zhao. ”

Zhang Liang nodded: "It is better to break one finger than to hurt the enemy's ten fingers, the princes of the Central Plains have suffered heavy setbacks, at least they will not be able to attack Chu again for a short time." If you take advantage of the Han army to recuperate and quickly annihilate either Zhao or Qi, you can avoid being pinned down from the north in the future. And the overlord of Chu was arrogant and vengeful, trying to take advantage of the defeat of our army and take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he did not know that the road to the depths of the Central Plains was difficult, and once he entered, he would be deeply trapped, and it was by no means a place for quick battles. ”

King Han's thinking became clearer and clearer: "The third is that Xiang Yu should not ask Ying Buxing for his guilt. ”

"Yingbu's on-the-wall observation led to the fall of Pengcheng and the heavy loss of the Chu State, and the overlord of Chu must be furious about this, so it is extremely inappropriate to send a dragon to attack Yingbu, which will accelerate Yingbu's investment in the Han camp. Zhang Liang shook his head when he said this, "The overlord of Chu has always been too arrogant, and Fan Zeng will inevitably try his best to stop it, and make every effort to appease the king of Han, the king of Western Wei, the king of Linjiang, and the king of Jiujiang, stabilize the Central Plains and the south, continue to storm Qi Zhao, and eradicate the threat from the north." ”

"Hahaha...... If this king can win the world, it all depends on a master like the ovary, if Xiang Yu loses the world, it will all be because of a fan increase and not use!" Although Liu Bang was defeated, when he heard Zhang Liang's analysis, his confidence immediately returned, and his thinking returned to normal, "Immediately seize the time to make Zhao Kuangyin the king of Qi!"

Liu Bang couldn't wait to help up a powerful King of Qi.

Because it's a crucial move!

This King of Qi must have the ability to contain the powerful Chu army and constantly cause trouble for Xiang Yu. Therefore, it is not enough to say that a straw bag like Tian Rong is not enough, after Liu Bang came back, he inquired about Zhao Kuangyin's situation in detail, and he learned that Zhao Kuangyin recommended by Chen Ping actually annihilated the Chu army of 100,000 in one battle, Liu Bang can be sure that this person must be a talent!

The Han army in the Central Plains, the Qi army in the north, the Yingbu army in the south, and the vast ocean in the east, the Chu State will be blocked by the whole territory!

This battle seems to be a fiasco of the Han army and a great victory of the Chu army, but in fact, the overlord of Chu shrouded in an invincible halo, and the Chu army shrouded in the joy of victory did not know that this famous war in history was the turning point of Western Chu from prosperity to decline.

The Chu army Pengcheng was broken, most of the granaries were burned, and the Chu army fought for ten months, but failed to complete the destruction of Qi, and the loss of manpower and material resources was too serious. The Han army suffered very heavy losses on the surface, but the Han army had the manpower and material support of the entire Central Plains, so once it fell into a stalemate war of attrition, the Chu army was definitely not the opponent of the Han army.

Zhang conscience has always had some mustard in his heart.

He took his leave from the king of Han and returned to his lodgings.

Zhang Liang felt guilty about the death of King Han, after all, it was Zhang Liang who persuaded King Han to join King Han, but in the end he failed to save his life...... In addition, he also keenly felt that there were some things that were too strange.

The Chu-Han controversy happened too quickly.

There are too many discrepancies from speculation.

Zhang Liang suspects that there is an invisible hand that is silently pushing everything behind the scenes.

Who will this mysterious force be? Zhang Liang thought of Chen Ping, who was the first to propose Zhao Kuangyin as the king of Qi, this strategy itself was indisputable, even Zhang Liang had nothing to refute, but there was a problem with saying it from Chen Ping's hands, and then he wanted to Hongmen Banquet to prevent Fan Zeng from killing Liu Bang's mysterious force.

Why did this force prevent Fan Zeng from killing Liu Bang? What good did Liu Bang have if he survived?

The most likely explanation for this mysterious force is that it is to use the Han king to deal with the overlord in order to achieve the goal of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but who can replace the overlord and become the co-lord of China except the king of Han? If its own strength and prestige are not enough, even if it provokes a war between Chu and Han, it is meaningless.

Zhang Liang closed his eyes, and the figure of a white-clothed gentleman appeared in his mind.

The name of this white-clothed scholar is Qin Ge, Qin Ge, Qin Ge...... Qin!

Zhang Liang opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed a few copper coins, threw them on the table to calculate a hexagram, he got up and walked out, the attendant at the door asked him, he left a sentence: "Go west, and return in three days!"

Xiao He was busy preparing food and grass for military horses everywhere.

Chen Ping had already gone to see Jiujiang Wang Yingbu.

Liu Bang was busy ordering the princes and sealing Zhao Kuangyin as the king of Qi.

The Chu-Han War has reached a crucial stage, and at such an important juncture, how can Zhang Liang say that he will leave?

Zhang Liang didn't care so much, some things had to be figured out in person, he was already a Taoist sage, soaring up to 9,000 feet, driving clouds and fog for thousands of miles every day, easily crossing Hangu Pass, and arriving in the Guanzhong area.

In less than a year, Guanzhong has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the fertile soil and fertile land have stretched for thousands of years.

The Qin people were building new water conservancy, and they began to use some strange tools extensively in production.

One of the devices is constantly operating, they can pump water directly from the ground, enter the field along the pipe, and inject it into the irrigation canal, so that the Qin farmers do not need to carry water by themselves, the amount of labor is greatly reduced, and the fields that can be cultivated are naturally increased.

The Qin people were originally very industrious, and after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, they strongly rewarded farming, and the peasants were highly motivated.

Now farmers are more active and efficient, with cattle to use, all kinds of farming tools are brand new, and there are a lot of things that have never been seen before, which greatly improves the efficiency of production, making the average cultivated area two to three times larger than before, and the number of farmers is skyrocketing.

Zhang Liang discovered several horse farms in a row.

Did the people of Guanzhong start raising horses in large quantities?

It turned out that Qin Di promulgated the "Horse Raising Order" not long ago, as long as one person raised horses, the whole family was exempted from forced labor.

Therefore, many people in Qindi began to buy horses to raise on their own, but what if they didn't have horses and couldn't afford to buy horses? The official family would often provide high-quality ponies or injured adult horses, and look for farmers who are good at breeding from the people to raise, and they also enjoy the treatment of the horse raising order.

After the issuance of this "horse breeding order", Qindi will inevitably become a trend in raising horses!

Zhang Liang made an in-depth visit and found that there were many similar decrees, and they were also very intensive!

There must be a very outstanding ruler behind the scenes of Qin Di, who may not be as talented as Xiao He, but he is also worthy of being a prime minister!

In such a short period of time, both the atmosphere and the people's morale have been transformed and renewed.

The Qin Dynasty's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were almost abolished!

As the birthplace of the violent Qin, this piece is now mainly promoting Wang Dao's benevolent government.

Wang Dao's benevolent government is advocated by Confucianism, and it is fundamentally incompatible with the world of great contention.

Zhang Liang couldn't imagine that there would be such a big change here, but he saw it with his own eyes.

Blindly reducing and exempting forced labor and taxes is certainly a benevolent government for enriching the people, but it is not a good policy for enriching the country.

Qindi maximized the release of people's power and production, but the state did not gain much in it, and a large amount of profits to the people was equivalent to hiding wealth from the people, and reducing the people's labor and military service, there would be no sufficient source of labor and army, how could the country develop and how strong?

Zhang Liang had seen the army led by Zhang Han.

That army did not come out of thin air, every soldier had a sense of professionalism, judging from the sophisticated armor and weapons on their bodies, such a large-scale cost was very terrifying, not something that Sanqin could complete, even if it was the heyday of the Great Qin Empire, it was impossible to produce it in less than a year.

There's definitely something wrong with that!

This time we must find out!
