With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Qi got into a carriage and was sent back to Guanzhong.
As she left, she stretched her neck and looked in the direction of the military camp, hoping that the King of Han could retain her. I just looked at my neck and cried my soul out, but I didn't wait for the King of Han to change his mind...
At this time, Liu Bang was discussing with Chen Ping how to break the hearts of the Chu army.
Liu Ying sat nearby, holding her chin, and listened patiently.
"Xiang Yu is a brave husband, so there is nothing to worry about. The real difficulty is Fan Zeng. He and Xiang Yu are like father and son, and it is difficult to separate. Now I am..."
"Ahem!" Liu Ying coughed lightly and gave Liu Bang a roll of her eyes.
The old gangster was helpless and could only say: "I have heard an idea... The Xiang family is a noble of the Chu Kingdom, and Fan Zeng is of ordinary origin, with an upright and impatient temperament. If we can start from this, we may be able to drive a wedge between the two."
Chen Ping rolled his eyes, and he quickly understood Liu Bang's meaning, and he also drew inferences from one example and came up with countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to separate the Xiang family from the other ministers of the Chu Kingdom?"
Liu Bang laughed loudly, "That's right, that's right! If Xiang Yu is to be left alone, he will see enemies everywhere and no one he can trust. At that time, the Chu army will collapse without a fight!"
Chen Ping nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty's brilliant plan, I thought I could arrange for it to be carried out carefully. I entered the Chu Kingdom and spread a message. I only said that Xiang Yu was young and ignorant, but he was brave. The safety of the Chu Kingdom depends on Ya's father. I want Xiang Yu to obey Ya's father in everything. Father, only by obeying orders can you have a chance of survival!"
Praise!
Absolute praise!
Xiang Yu was an arrogant man. When King Huai of Chu sent Song Yi as the general, Xiang Yu served as his deputy. Facing Zhang Han's army, Song Yi hesitated to advance. Xiang Yu actually defeated Song Yi, beheaded Song Yi, and seized military power.
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu first killed Song Yi, and then killed Emperor Yi, King Huai. This man is not willing to be subordinated to others. If he hears that Yafu's reputation is growing, he will definitely have a grudge against him. Even if he does not kill Fan Zeng, he will expel him. .”
"Now that Fan Zeng has left, those in the Chu camp who are not as good as Fan Zeng and who are not as close as Ya's father will definitely abandon Yu and leave. At that time, the only people Xiang Yu can command will be Xiang Yu's disciples."
Chen Ping has a low voice and a pleasant smile. But every word he spoke carried a knife, which was three points sharper than the sharp fish intestine sword.
Liu Ying thoroughly understood Chen Ping's power, Zhang Liang's heroic strategy, and Chen Ping's insidiousness.
Xiang Yu was also unlucky when he met these two people.
"Mr. Chen, you said you would make arrangements to go to Chu State. I don't think it's necessary." Liu Ying suddenly interrupted.
Chen Ping asked hurriedly: "What do you think the prince has to say?"
Liu Ying said: "I can't say I have any high opinion. When I came, I found that someone was escorting the prisoners of the Chu army and building roads and bridges to transport military supplies and supplies."
Chen Ping said: "It is true. These days, the Han army often attacks, and the Chu army wins and loses. Many people were captured. The Chu army captured the Han army and killed them all. The king was kind and could not bear to kill. So he sent Building roads and bridges can be regarded as making the best use of people’s talents and making the best use of materials.”
Liu Ying said: "Can you release these prisoners and let them return to Chu State for my use?"
"Let go?" Chen Ping said in surprise: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate! The soldiers of Chu are brave and good at fighting. After they were put back, they came under Xiang Yu's command. Wouldn't they be letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
After Chen Ping finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Bang, only to find that Liu Bang's brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. After a moment, Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said happily: "Chen Ping, just do as the prince wants. ! I didn’t expect that there is such a good thing that can achieve multiple things with one stone!"
Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying and said, "Ying, I didn't expect you to be so insidious at such a young age. You are really like your father! Hahaha!"
Liu Ying immediately shouted: "I didn't, I'm not, father, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Bang laughed loudly, "Maybe you didn't expect that much, but this move is really clever!"
Liu Bang said to Chen Ping: "Think about it, how would Xiang Yu deal with these prisoners if they were released?"
Chen Ping frowned, "Xiang Yu is ruthless and ruthless. If he is worried that there is a Han army among them, he will probably kill him!"
Liu Bang nodded, "Yes, Xiang Yu would indeed do this. The Chu camp soldiers did not die in the hands of the Han army, but died in the hands of the Western Chu Overlord. How do you think the Chu army would feel?"
What would you think?
Naturally, my heart is cold and my teeth are cold. I am absolutely not a thing to Overlord Chu!
Chen Ping was suddenly startled and said: "Your Majesty, what if Xiang Yu doesn't kill him?"
Liu Bang said with a smile: "If Xiang Yu doesn't kill these people, he has only two places to go. One is to stay in the army, and the other is to return them to Chu. Think about it, what will happen to these two options?"
Chen Ping lowered his head and pondered over it for a moment, seeming to realize something.
"If you stay in the army and continue to use it, then tell the other Chu soldiers that you don't have to fight to the death when fighting the Han army. Even if you are captured, you can survive or even be released. In this way, the Chu army has lost its inevitable death. The heart would not be so brave and decisive, and the confrontation between Han and Chu would not be so difficult!"
Liu Bang smiled and nodded.
Chen Ping continued: "If Xiang Yu is worried that they will shake the morale of the army, he will release these people back to Chu. The people of Chu will know the benevolence of King Han and will not kill them all. By then, the hearts of Chu will be shaken, and Xiang Yu will still be unable to resist! "
At this point, Chen Ping was suddenly frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What a brilliant idea, so impeccable!
No matter which one Xiang Yu chooses, it will be disadvantageous.
It’s not even possible to measure which loss is greater…
This is a truly terrifying strategy!
In contrast, my own method was just to target Xiang Yu's weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine. And with this move, no matter what kind of person Xiang Yu is, he will fall for it!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping sweated on his back.
He secretly glanced at the smiling Liu Bang, and then at the innocent-looking Liu Ying. These two men were the masters among masters!
Chen Ping was horrified and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Prince, I will go find someone to infiltrate the Chu Kingdom and arrange the release of the prisoners."
Liu Bang nodded, and when Chen Ping went down, he happily said to his son: "Ying, if we continue like this, we will be able to defeat the Chu army and rescue your mother. It's really just around the corner."
Liu Ying finally smiled and said: "Father, I believe there will be a day when the whole family will be reunited."
Liu Bang took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Yes, there will be such a day!"
When the news came and what needed to be said, Liu Ying planned to leave for Guanzhong, but unexpectedly came back without warning.
"Sir!" Liu Ying trotted over. After not seeing him for several months, he had lost a lot of weight. His eye sockets were sunken and his cheekbones were prominent. He looked so embarrassed.
"Young Master!" Sui He was overjoyed when he saw Liu Ying. After receiving the courtesy, he said: "I am going to kill the Chu envoy and force Yingbu to rebel. However, the Chu army was too brave and Yingbu only lasted a few months. So the whole army was wiped out, and I came to seek refuge with the king alone."
Liu Ying's heart sank. The Chu army was really terrifying.
No matter how good their plan is, if they don't have the strength to confront Xiang Yu head-on, they will never be able to truly defeat Xiang Yu... Thinking of this, Liu Ying hurried to the Hanwang tent again and bumped into Yingbu coming.
Liu Bang was not polite, he was sitting on the couch, soaking his feet comfortably!
"The King of Jiujiang is here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing this scene, Yingbu's face suddenly changed, his fists were clenched, and the veins on his forehead popped out, he turned around and left angrily...
Liu Ying walked out and said to the old gangster: "This is what you will get if you treat others with contempt!"
Liu Bang laughed, "Shuzi, you don't understand. Yingbu will be back soon. Just watch!"
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, Yingbu, with a red face, left and returned seriously.
He cupped his fists and bowed towards Liu Bang, and said shamefully: "Ying Bu is rude, I hope the King of Han will forgive me."
"Hahaha!" Liu Bang came over, grabbed Yingbu, and said with a smile: "No need, I regard you as a brother and a confidant!"
Yingbu became more and more ashamed, "From now on, Yingbu is willing to serve as the king of Han's frontline soldier and destroy Xiang Yu together!"
Liu Bang was quite satisfied and pulled Yingbu inside. At the same time, he glanced at his confused son from the corner of his eye, feeling proud.
You are far worse than Nai Weng!
Liu Ying: "..."
