"Wisdom? What wisdom?"
Liu Bang's eyes widened with anger, he grabbed Liu Ying's collar with his hands, held up the stick, and walked in proudly.
When he arrived in the lobby, Liu Bang put Liu Ying down, took a deep breath and said, "In order to let the widow escape, General Ji Xin drove out of the city in the carriage. He also selected a group of women, pretended to be Han soldiers, and left the city together. I'm afraid they were already dead. In Xiang Yu’s hands!”
Liu Ying was shocked when he even used this trick. He knew it was not easy for Liu Bang to escape, but he didn't expect it would be so difficult!
"As the king of Han, I cannot protect the people. Instead, I want to let so many women die and stain the battlefield with blood!" Liu Bang pointed at his heart fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "I escaped not to survive, but to destroy Xiang Yu. ! If I don’t punish Xiang Yu, I will be the king of Han in vain!”
Liu Bang was filled with grief and anger, his pupils were bloodshot, and he wanted to fight Xiang Yu desperately to seek justice for those female soldiers.
Liu Ying swallowed subconsciously. At this time, Liu Bang was like a volcano about to erupt, bursting with steam and unable to be easily provoked.
"Father, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be anxious yet!"
Liu Ying bravely said: "At this time, we are raising troops to attack Xingyang. The Chu army is waiting for work. My father may not be able to win!"
This is a euphemism, to be more direct, you can give it away if you go now!
Liu Bang was indeed furious, "Shuzi, do you think Nai Gong will be defeated?"
Congratulations, your smart IQ has taken over the high ground again.
"Father, you'd better march through Wuguan and enter Nanyang with your troops now. Without Fan Zeng by Xiang Yu's side, no one can grasp the overall situation. He will definitely cling to my father and attack Nanyang."
"Nanyang?"
Liu Bang frowned. The fierce battle had reached this point, and the line between Xingyang and Chenggao had become a mud war.
No matter who takes the initiative to attack, they will have to bear huge losses. This is true for the Chu camp and the Han camp is no exception.
If we jump out of this line and open up a new battlefield in the south, there will be great potential!
"Is there anything else? Is there any other good way?" Liu Bang asked loudly.
Liu Ying said: "I don't know the rest. This was suggested by a Confucian scholar."
"Confucian scholar? Let him come to see me!"
Liu Ying said in surprise: "Don't you always look down on Confucian scholars? Why do you still listen to Confucian scholars' advice?"
"Nonsense, Nai Gong just looks down on useless Confucian scholars. Anyone who can put forward such good suggestions is a great sage and should be treated as an honored guest!" Liu Bang said with eyes wide open.
Liu Ying finally learned the virtues of the old gangster, and he immediately asked Yuansheng to be invited.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Bang took the initiative to ask for advice, "Sir, why do you teach me?"
Yuan Sheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, the reason why Han and Chu are fighting is to tire Chu. If your Majesty is only concerned about gains and losses in Xingyang, Xiang Yu can just garrison his troops and horses in Xingyang, and then he can fight to the death with you. In this way, your Majesty will be controlled by Xiang Yu. , Han was controlled by Chu."
Liu Bang thought for a moment and then nodded immediately, "Yes, thank you sir!"
Yuan Sheng continued: "If the king goes to Wuguan and enters Nanyang, he will transfer Xiang Yu from Xingyang to Nanyang. Then he will order General Han Xin to take over the land of Zhao Dynasty as soon as possible, recruit Yan State to surrender, and attack Qi State in the east. Then order the partial army to assist Peng Yue, and do everything possible. Taking the land of Liang and cutting off Xiang Yu’s retreat, we don’t have to worry about whether Chu will be defeated!”
Yuansheng's words made Liu Bang's eyes light up.
The core of this suggestion is consistent with Zhang Liang's plan in Xiayi.
That is to say, on the premise of acknowledging Xiang Yu's strength, we will attack the Chu army through mobilization, containment, weakening, dispersion, etc., and strive to gain the greatest advantage before the decisive battle...
Liu Bang thought for a while and immediately ordered to summon Lu Ze, Zhang Liang, Li Shiqi and other civil and military officials for discussion.
Liu Ying was quite surprised when she saw the dog's father change from furious and mad to calm and composed. Isn't your old man's recovery ability too terrifying?
Liu Bang glanced at Shuzi and chuckled: "Why, you thought it was the guild crying?"
Liu Ying shook her head quickly, "If the sky falls, you won't even frown!"
"Hahaha!"
Liu Bang laughed loudly, and then gritted his teeth viciously, "Xiang Yu, a common man, bullied me too much! He forced me to use a woman as a shield, which a chivalrous man cannot bear to do! I can't be a chivalrous man, so I can only win! Big win!"
Liu Ying was greatly excited and nodded vigorously, "Yes, there are only two roads in front of you, one is victory! The other is death! The only way to die is Xiang Yu!"
"That's right!"
Liu Bang clapped his hands and laughed. At this time, everyone arrived. They were all surprised when they saw the King of Han in high spirits and smiling.
Wasn't this guy so beaten that he ran away in embarrassment? Why didn't he show any signs of depression? He looked like a winner!
"I lost Xingyang, and Xiang Yu lost his father. Who suffered the greater loss? In the long run, it should be Xiang Yu!" Liu Bang said with a smile: "Without Fan Zeng's advice, Xiang Yu is just a tiger, and we all are. Tiger hunter!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was very excited and praised the king for his wisdom.
Lu Ze actually stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the loss of Xingyang is nothing. I have been reorganizing the defense of Chenggao these days and training elite troops. There are already 50,000 people. Although Aocang is lost, Luoyang has a lot of food and grass, which is enough to compete with Xiang Yu." A year and a half of fierce fighting!”
The soldiers and horses Lu Ze mentioned were all his subordinates.
"good!"
Liu Bang said happily: "In that case, I will leave you to guard Cheng Gao, and the prince will sit in Luoyang to resist the Chu army."
Lu Ze was startled, "Your Majesty, are you ready?"
Liu Bang said with a smile: "Xiang Yu wants to kill everyone. Wherever I go, he will follow me! I am going to raise 30,000 troops, go to Wuguan, and leave Nanyang."
As Liu Bang spoke, he turned to Wang Ling and said, "Brother, are you willing to be the vanguard?"
Wang Ling quickly agreed, "I will not give up even if I die!"
Liu Bang added: "Previously, Peng Yue was behind the plan in Xiayi. However, he failed in the first battle and lost his troops. Now I plan to send troops to him to help Peng Yue defeat the enemy."
Zhang Liang's eyes lit up. He had long seen Peng Yue's value, and now it was time to show off his talents.
"Your Majesty, if Xiang Yu can go to Nanyang, not only will Xingyang be empty, but there will also be no general who can defeat Peng Yue in the rear of Chu State. I propose that Lu Wan and Liu Jia lead 20,000 horses, carry weapons, money and food, and cross Baima Jin. Contact Peng Yue and let’s get tired together!”
The two men Zhang Liang pointed out were not the most capable generals in the Han army, but their identities were extraordinary. Liu Jia was Liu Bang's clan brother, and he was considered a member of the Liu family.
Lu Wan is even more amazing. Not only is he a fellow countryman of Liu Bang, he was also born in the same year, month and day!
He has been following Liu Bang since he was a child. He is Brother Liu's follower, and he is like a black whirlwind in Peixian County.
It's just that his luck is much better than that of Li Kui. After all, he is following Liu Laosan, not Song Laosan!
"Do you dare to go?" Liu Bang snorted.
Lu Wan hesitated for a moment and then said, "If your Majesty asks me to dare, I will!"
"Hahaha!"
Liu Bang touched his knees and laughed, "Remember, I encountered the elite soldiers of the Chu army. They have deep trenches and high fortifications. They can't hold on... Nai Gong is waiting for you to come back and have a celebratory drink. Don't die outside!"
"promise!"
Lu Wan readily agreed, and he immediately called Liu Jia. The two of them led 20,000 troops and set off immediately. Not to mention anything else, Liu Ying gave twenty carts of paper alone.
"Father Zhong, you are not here to fight the Chu army, but to shake the hearts of the Chu people. Once these papers are used, they will be better than thousands of troops!"
Lu Wan nodded happily, "I understand, I understand, Prince, please rest assured!"
After sending Lu Wan away, Liu Bang immediately asked him to write a letter to Yingbu, asking him to pack up his troops, regroup, and continue to pester Xiang Yu.
Later, Liu Bang sent a message to Han Xin, asking him to send troops as soon as possible to pacify the Zhao Dynasty.
"With Master's ability, we can capture Hebei in just a matter of seconds, and we might be able to fight a classic battle similar to a desperate battle!" Liu Ying was full of confidence in Han Xin.
Liu Bang nodded with a smile, "Han Xin's ability to lead an army is really rare. But he is ambitious, so you have to pay attention."
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Who doesn't have ambitions? It's just that master's ambition is not necessarily to be a king, but also to be famous for eternity... Not everyone is as vulgar as my father!"
"I beg you to be beaten!" Liu Bang raised his hand and slapped him.
This time Liu Ying did not run away, but smiled and said: "Hurry up, otherwise you will go on an expedition tomorrow and you won't be able to fight even if you want to."
Liu Bang was shocked, but he didn't fight, he just shook his head and smiled.
Turning around, Liu Bang led his troops to attack, and all Han armies launched at the same time.
People shout and horses neigh, and flags fly.
"Master, your plan in Xiayi was officially launched today!" Liu Ying sighed.
Zhang Liang also nodded and said: "The conflict between Han and Chu has reached a point where the strength of the army is reversed."
Liu Ying said happily: "This is the difference between offense and defense without benevolence and righteousness!"
Zhang Liang frowned, then smiled and nodded approvingly after a moment.
