Chapter 63: Zhang Liang's Plan
On the 29th day of the reign of King Yingziying of Qin
In the southeast of Lantian Field, a few miles away under the pass, flags are displayed, and camp tents are densely packed...
At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with his hair in a bun has an authentic Chinese men's beard. He was standing on top of a mound with his hands behind his back, looking out at the mountains and mountains miles away
Behind the middle-aged man stood a young man with a soft face, like a woman, this man has male eyes like heavy clouds, nose like a turtle and dragon, mouth like a square instrument, ears like looking at each other, clean as a crown of jade...
This young man contrasted sharply with the rough and greasy appearance of the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back
I saw the handsome young man speak, "Why does the lord seem to be sad when he faces the mountain? ”
A call broke the silence, and the middle-aged man known as the lord returned to reality, turned to look at the handsome and beautiful woman's face, and said, "Ovary, do you think we can win Guanzhong?" ”
The person who is called the ovary is named Zhang Liang. He is one of the famous three heroes of the early Han Dynasty in history, and he is also one of Liu Bang's most important advisers
Zhang Liang smiled, glanced at the big pass and the mountain behind it, his eyes fluctuated, and he said confidently:
"Why did the lord say this? Since October last year, the lord has been launched in Dangxian County, when there were only 2,000 anti-Qin righteous soldiers under his command, and they have passed all the way, won many battles, and defeated countless Qin army troops. And where the lord's army passed, all the people rejoiced, and those who carried grain and served in the army gathered under the lord's command. ”
"Now there are several generals in our Liu army who can fight well, 30,000 excellent cavalry, and 70,000 well-equipped infantry. In the rear, there were countless commoners who supported the lord to transport grain and grass. ”
"It only took a year for the lord to be close to Xianyang City, the invincible Qin court, and the one who destroyed Qin must be Liu Bangye! Why is the lord worried? ”
Liu Bang laughed when he heard this, Zhang Liang's words really went to the heart of his heart.
However, Liu Bang knows that he has a few catties and a few pounds, although he entered Guanzhong from Dangxian in a year, almost half of his strategies and schemes came from Zhang Liang
If it weren't for Zhang Liang's endless wisdom, I'm afraid that he Liu Bang would have died several times on the way...
After Liu Bang laughed, his face suddenly said solemnly: "Ofan, this place is different from the Kanto region, this is a place where the Qin State has been operating for hundreds of years, although the elite main force of the Qin army has almost been lost in the Kanto, but at this time, there are no less than 100,000 Qin soldiers who can fight in Guanzhong..."
Zhang Liang said with some disdain: "Does the lord mean to retreat?" ”
Liu Bang was embarrassed, lowered his head to think about it, and then raised his head to look at Zhang Liang: "Zifang, you also know that Xiang Yu has defeated all the main forces of the Qin army more than two months ago, and Zhang Han has led 200,000 Qin troops to surrender to Chu Xiang. ”
"Xiang Yu has the potential to become the co-lord of the world at this time, maybe he is leading the candidates of the world to Hangu Pass..."
"Our army and Xiang Yu can't be compared, if I Liu Bang is greatly injured in the battle in this pass, even if I get Xianyang, wouldn't I give it to Xiang Yu in the end?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled: "Lord, this is not what you are talking about. ”
"Oh? What does the ovary mean? ”
"If the lord really had the heart to retreat, he would not have gone under the pass today, and I, Zhang Liang, would have been abandoned by the lord long ago."
Liu Bang laughed again: "Those who know me, the ovary is also." However, our army has stayed under the pass for nearly 20 days, suffered heavy losses, and exhausted all strategies. Is there a good way to break the ovary? ”
Zhang Liang glanced up at the sun in the sky, then looked at Liu Bang, smiled confidently and said, "Lord, I'm waiting for an opportunity." If the time is not right, I am afraid that my plan will not be able to succeed. ”
"The ovary is coming soon, why are you still hiding it if you have a plan. Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk. ”
Liu Bang found a low-lying place, and sat on the mound regardless of his identity, and then wiped the position next to him with his sleeve, and motioned for Zhang Liang to sit over
Zhang Liang frowned and glanced at the dirty dirty mound, felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after some inner struggle, he forcibly sat next to Liu Bang
Liu Bang turned his head to look at Zhang Liang with excitement on his face, waiting for the other party's next step... Along the way, whenever Liu Bang encountered a problem he wanted to escape, Zhang Liang took action to resolve them one by one...
After Zhang Liang coughed twice, he said, "Does the lord know how many Qin troops are stationed in Yaoguan?" ”
Liu Bang thought for a moment and said: "When our army first arrived, there were about 30,000 people, and there were 5,000 garrisons stationed on the western line of the Guanguan, and then the Qin court sent more than 20,000 Qin soldiers to reinforce it, and there were more than 50,000 Qin troops guarding the pass. ”
Zhang Liang said: "After the pass, there is the mountain, and then there is a mountain danger, how does the lord think he can let the army reach the city of Xianyang?" ”
Liu Bang didn't hesitate: "Even if the pass is broken, the remnants of the Qin army can hide behind the mountain, and it will be difficult for our army to enter it." And the easiest way is to bypass and go straight to Lantian as the best policy! ”
"But I have sent Xia Houying and Zhou Bo to bypass the pass twice in a row to break through the western defense line of the Qin army and enter Lantian, but they were both beaten back by the Qin army on their defense line, how to break the situation?"
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth rose slightly, and he explained: "That's because the Qin army does have some combat power, and didn't the lord find out that in order to guard the pass and the nearby defense line, Xianyang has almost laid out all the elites in the pass in the pass?" ”
"In other words, this pass is the last line of defense of the Qin State, as long as it can be broken through, there will be no more Qin soldiers in the pass, and Xianyang City will definitely be self-defeating."
"Such a great achievement, isn't the lord moved?"
Of course, Liu Bang was moved, in order to break through the barrier during this period of time, he couldn't sleep well every night, meditated hard, but sadly, what he learned was very limited...
Liu Bang said: "You don't sell the ovary anymore, you know I'm an acute child." ”
Zhang Liang laughed: "It's almost over, I can implement my plan in about two days." ”
"First, Xia Houying and Zhou Bo couldn't break through the western defense line of the Qin army twice in a row, because the western defense line and Yaoguan figured it out, and the Qin army in Yaoguan could transfer troops to the western front at any time to increase the defense, and arranged a large number of heavy crossbows."
"And if our army mainly attacks the pass, the Qin army will transfer troops from the border defense line to strengthen the guard of the pass. In contrast, it is due to the limited strength of our army and the inability to effectively attack both places at the same time..."
Liu Bang nodded approvingly after hearing this, this is indeed the case. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it so clearly
"Second, my plan is to consume the Qin army's guarding forces. Lord, how much is left to defend the Qin army now? ”
Liu Bang recalled yesterday's scout report and said: "There are about 40,000 on the two lines."
Zhang Liang shook his head: "No, I'm afraid there are less than 40,000 defenders." That is to say, our army did not gain nothing in the 20 days of confrontation with the Qin army under the pass. ”
Liu Bang refreshed himself after hearing this, smiled and nodded, as if he was addicted to listening
Zhang Liang continued: "The Qin army in Yaoguan has lost more than 20,000 people, while our army has only lost more than 10,000 people as the attacker, which shows that the Qin army is no longer like the Qin army in the past, and the decline in combat strength is extremely serious. And this is inseparable from the corruption within the Qin army..."
Liu Bang nodded approvingly: "What the ovary said is very true, when we just arrived at the foot of the mountain in Yaoguan, we received letters from Zhao Gao and Dong Lege one after another, wanting to sell Guanzhong to me, and then let me seal them." Hehe, these thieves are even more scoundrels than me, how could I agree? ”
"Shhhh However, there has been no letter from Dongle Ge for more than half a month, and I have not received any news from Xianyang Xizuo. I don't know if there has been a major change in Xianyang......"
Zhang Liang didn't care, stood up and looked north through the mountain, where it was Xianyang City. He put his hands behind his back and said: "My lord, even if the first emperor is in power now, and Bai Qi Wang Jian is reincarnated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the danger of destroying the country." ”
"The roots of the Qin State have been broken, the hearts of the people in Guanzhong have been lost, and the army is rotten like rotten wood. It will not be saved overnight. No matter how big the Xianyang is, how can it be similar to us? ”
Liu Bang also stood up and walked to Zhang Liang's side: "A word from the ovary is very reassuring to my heart." ”
Zhang Liangdao: "Third, the good strategy is to take advantage of the corruption of its Qin army, send people to send gold and silver, or promises, or beautiful women to bribe its officers and generals, and relax their will to fight. ”
"Then our side arranged manpower in the nearby hidden mountains and forests at night, planted the flag of our Liu army, and shook the heart of the Qin army with a bluff."
"The key point of this plan is to quickly deplete the Qin army in advance, if the time comes, we can carry out this strategy..."
After hearing this, Liu Bang suddenly realized, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liang's shoulder and said: "It's still a great ovary, this plan is very good!" In this way, our army can easily bypass the pass and go straight to the city of Xianyang! ”
Zhang Liang was shaken and dizzy by this excited Liu Bang, and angrily knocked off Liu Bang's right hand that was holding his shoulder...
