After Luo Yi handed over the troops he had rescued from the river to Luo Ling, he stood outside the city and watched the people filing out.
Liu Bang walked out of the corner, came to his side, and chuckled: "Young Master."
"Pei Gong?"
Liu Bang asked: "Sir, today the Luo family comes out to preside over the alliance. Many heroes have shed their blood and regard your eldest brother as the leader of the alliance. We must unite as one to overthrow the violent Qin. Isn't this the most glorious and high-spirited time?"
Why is the young master so full of sorrow here? "
Luo Yi didn't expect that there was no expression on his face. Liu Bang could actually see that he was full of sadness, and immediately asked: "What does Pei Gong mean by this? There is no sadness in his heart."
Hearing this, Liu Bang laughed loudly and said: "Master, it seems that you don't trust Liu Ji. Ji has gotten to know you somewhat during this journey."
Luo Yi glanced at Liu Bang, and then sighed softly: "Pei Gong, there was a prophecy leaked in the past, and it was the Luo Kingdom that destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Now the eldest brother has gathered the world's heroes here. I'm afraid this prophecy has come true.
What I am thinking about is, among these many heroes, who dares to go west to break the barrier? "
Liu Bang keenly realized that this was not just asking who dared to break through the barrier, but who dared to really fight bloody battles with the violent Qin and conquer the world. A sharp flash suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Liu Bang pondered: "Chu Gong Xiang Liang is such a hero. He is the son of Xiang Yan. There are rumors circulating in Chu that the Xiang family will definitely overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu is a general who can defeat Meng Tian. Presumably only the Xiang family can lead them. The Chu army can break through the barrier to the west!"
Under the premise that the Luo family was clearly not a king, the Xiang family was the best in the world, and even nobles from the six countries like Zhang Liang had to ask Xiang Liang to help him restore his country.
"Is it just the Xiang family? Bao Qin will not be defeated so easily. It is difficult to support a lonely tree. Meng Tian and Zhang Han alone can make the Xiang family unable to escape. The others must also move forward bravely."
Even if Luo Shi prepares to use the divine weapon to clear the way, he is only planning to use it when it is difficult to break through the pass. It cannot be used in every battle. Luo Shi's luck points are not blown by strong winds. If the destruction of Qin is a The business has now been completely ruined.
Liu Bang looked at Luo Yi, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, saying categorically: "Master, Ji is willing to lead his army to detour to Luoyang to cut off Meng Tian's food route. If the war in the Central Plains goes well, he will break through the pass and enter the pass. Are you willing to go with Ji? ?”
The Zhaocheng League was really a great stimulus to Liu Bang. Except for his humble background, they were all descendants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. However, this did not discourage him, but instead aroused his fighting spirit, because the largest nobleman, the Luo family, did not Don't underestimate him, that's enough.
No matter how noble you are, can you still be more noble than Luo Shi? Luo Shi still treats me as an equal, but the more arrogant you are, the more ridiculous you look.
This is what Liu Bang is thinking now. As long as he can get Luo's support, is Liu Jizhen not as good as those born nobles?
The status of Luo Gongling, who presides over the alliance of princes, is too high. Even the Xiang family can only be an ally and cannot be taken under his command. Only the young master can be contacted by him. Moreover, the two of them walked together before and had many conversations. joyous.
Luo Yi heard that Liu Bang was willing to go west and fight hard, and invited him to join him. He understood that Liu Bang was showing his kindness to him and hoped that he could help him.
Along the way, he got to know Liu Bang somewhat. This man had many problems. He was greedy for money and lust, loved to take advantage of others, was disrespectful of etiquette, and frequently cursed. These were all minor problems in the life of a ranger.
But he has a perseverant character, and basically no failure can break his will. The most important thing is that he listens to advice and makes his own decisions. Luo Yi still thinks highly of him.
"Pei Gong, among these heroes, you are not the strongest. If you want to take a detour to Luoyang, once Meng Tian returns, you will die without a burial place. Why do you want to do such a dangerous thing? Are you following Xiang? Isn’t it good for the Qin soldiers to slowly accumulate merit in battle?”
Luo Yi stared at Liu Bang closely. He actually knew why, but he wanted Liu Bang to say it himself.
Liu Bang smiled brightly when he heard this, and said with emotion: "There are all people in the world who are willing to cling to the tail, but such people must be obedient and dare not move forward. The young master said that if you want to destroy Qin, you must be brave. Liu Ji is willing to fight for the young master." Field, life or death."
In order to recruit talented people in this world, most people use gold, silver, pearls and jade, and even look at them frequently, but people like Liu Bang who are willing to risk their lives are basically rare.
Luo Yi was very moved. Among the heroes, except Xiang Yu, Liu Bang was the only one who had such courage. He immediately said: "Pei Gong, I am also willing to follow you to the west. If you live, I will regard you as the king of Guanzhong. If you die, Then when you and I meet in Huangquan, we should no longer call you Gongzi, but also Ziyu, and just call Pei Gong Ziyu."
Liu Bang was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect it to go so well. Although Luo Yi has not yet fully devoted himself to his service, as long as he doesn't make any fatal mistakes in the future, Luo Yi will definitely be his, so he quickly pulled Luo Yi into the army. After entering his military camp, he saw Xiao He and said happily: "Xiao Sheng, Ziyu is willing to follow our army to the west."
Xiao He never expected that Liu Bang would give him such a big surprise in the blink of an eye. There are only two direct descendants of the Luo family in the world today, and one of them is almost the leader of the princes. No one is qualified to recruit him. No matter who wins the world in the future, Offer it up with respect.
The real direct descendant was the Luo Yi in front of him. Liu Bang was able to recruit him. It was truly miraculous. Xiao He couldn't help but think of the previous rumors that Liu Bang had the aura of an emperor. He even wanted to believe that Liu Bang really had the aura of an emperor.
Several people entered the tent and began to discuss the next action. Xiao He, as Liu Bang's chief steward, began to take stock of Liu Bang's current family fortune. "Now our army has fifteen thousand people, and more than five thousand of them are from abundant land to follow us and raise troops." of villagers, and the rest were collected along the way.
Although the army is small, it is elite. Now that the world is in chaos, as long as you head west, countless refugees can come in. With these elites, you can quickly raise an army of hundreds of thousands. "
Luo Yi heard this and said: "I have handed over most of King Chen's old troops to my eldest brother, but I still have 5,000 men in my hands who can go westward with Pei Gong, but they are definitely no match for Meng Tian. We have to find a suitable marching route. Pei Gong, I want to To achieve great things, you need talented people to assist you, but the more talented people the better, the key is the right fit.”
Liu Bang and Xiao He were both stunned and said, "Aren't the more talented people the better?"
This is different from what everyone in the world thinks. I have never heard of people who dislike many talented people. Luo Yi nodded and said: "The Luo family has a thousand-year heritage and has done research in all aspects. It has long been discovered that a The problem is that those forces with too many talented people and not enough base will definitely fall into endless internal strife.
Just like Xiao Sheng, he is a great talent who is extremely good at governing the country. If another great talent like him comes to your army now, what will you do? If you can't make the best use of everyone, then you have to limit the number of talented people under your command. "
Liu Bang heard this and asked: "Is there nothing we can do? There are talented people but not recruiting them. This is probably not what a wise ruler should do."
Luo Yi smiled and said: "Pei Gong, this is what I really want to tell you. If you want to achieve great things, there are some things that are indispensable. The first is food and grass. This requires someone who can take care of your rear. , Xiao Sheng can take on this task.
This is your foundation, just like your body. Whether the fist you swing is powerful, and whether you have the strength to swing the next punch after this punch is all determined by your physical quality.
The second is a sharp blade. No matter how strong your body is, if you can only be beaten passively, you will eventually die, so you need a sharp sword and excellent swordsmanship.
Sun Wu who assisted Qing Ji in the past, Wu Qi who built the soldiers of Wei, and Wang Jian of Bai Qi are such sharp swords. There are many brave and heroic people under your command, but the generals of the Yongzhan faction must at least be at the level of the ancestor Wu Gong. Only in this way can you defeat the commanders of those war factions. You have never seen such an unparalleled commander under your command. This is something you need to pay attention to recruiting.
The third is the plan of the general trend. The world situation is changing all the time, but there is the most basic unchanged. This is not something ordinary people can see. This requires one or even many wise people to work together in your account. Listening to orders in advance is the master plan.
A word from these people can determine life or death. Although they are not like those fierce generals who directly provide food, grass, soldiers, and fight for you directly, their opinions are very important.
There are no such intelligent people under your command. Even though he has a good family background, he is not the kind of person with extraordinary intelligence. You cannot predict the enemy's opportunities in everything.
Yi's eldest brother Ling is a first-rate figure in this regard. Counting for three thousand years, none of the wise ministers of the sage kings can surpass his eldest brother. It's just that the eldest brother has to be in the middle to plan the affairs of the princes and cannot help Pei Gong. "
Although Luo Yi said this based on the wisdom of countless predecessors, Xiao He and Liu Bang didn't know it. They just felt that they were worthy of being a son of the Luo family, and there was no mediocrity.
Liu Bang pondered: "Recruiting talented people cannot be completed in one day. Ziyu also has a good plan."
Luo Yi's family knows his own affairs. His biggest advantage is that he has high charm. He is probably best at communication and can speak well. In terms of attributes, he is relatively cunning and can deceive. His six-dimensional attributes are all good, but they do not exceed nine. No, but he can recruit talented people for Liu Bang.
"Pei Gong, King Cheng of Han among the allied princes, had a man under his command named Zhang Liang. Chu Gong Xiang Liang said that Zhang Liang was the most resourceful man after his eldest brother. When I talked to him, he was indeed very wise. If I could Let him help you, and you will have a better chance of winning.
Now Han Wang and Zhang Liang want to seek Chu Gong Xiang Liang to restore the country, but Chu Gong Xiang Liang will definitely face Meng Tian and Zhang Han. How can Han Wangcheng have the ability to face these two enemies.
We can take the opportunity to invite King Han Cheng to take a detour to Mengtian. King Han will definitely be willing, and Zhang Liang will follow. I don’t think Han Cheng is a person who can make things happen. If we establish a good relationship with Zhang Liang now, we will have opportunities in the future. Make him yours. "
Liu Bang had a casual chat with Zhang Liang, so he knew a little bit about Zhang Liang's talents. This was one of the reasons why he was stimulated. The nobles of the Six Kingdoms were born with these outstanding people to join him, while he only had a group of old brothers with rich backgrounds.
Are these princes, generals, and ministers really born of noble blood?
When he saw the shining holy mark on Luo Yi's eyebrows next to him, and then recalled that day Luo Yi loudly said to himself that princes, generals, and ministers are not born noble, the thoughts that had been turbulent in Liu Bang's heart these days gradually calmed down. He came down and said with a smile: "Just follow what Ziyu said and invite Han Wangcheng to join us."
Liu Bang's image in the eyes of the alliance princes is that of a kind and honest old man. After all, among this group of people, he is indeed relatively older.
Han Wangcheng was the leader on the surface, but in fact the Koreans were led by Zhang Liang. Han Wangcheng himself also obeyed Zhang Liang's advice. When faced with Liu Bang's alliance request, he directly asked: "Zifang, do we agree to Pei Gong's alliance? "
Zhang Liang muttered: "You can agree. Chu Gong Xiang Liang will go north to fight against Zhang Han with Zhao Wang Xie. Wei Wang Jiu will also go with them. King Yan and King Dai will go to the old place to recruit people and then fight together. Zhang Han.
Xiang Yu defeated Meng Tian's vanguard army before, and now it is up to him to fight against Meng Tian in Zhengdi. This is the territory of South Korea. Peigong wants to detour from Luoyang because he wants to cut off Meng Tian's grain route and then break into the pass. "
Zhang Liang saw what Liu Bang wanted to do at a glance, and Han Wangcheng asked: "Zifang, what do you think if we enter Guanzhong first and become the king of Guanzhong?"
Zhang Liang shook his head when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, if a child carries gold in his arms and passes through the chaotic city, can he still survive?
You and I are both nobles of Korea and have a reputation in the land of Korea. The old people here suffered under the rule of the violent Qin, so we would like the original king to come back. This is how we were able to raise the army so quickly. reason.
Therefore, we only need to recover the Korean land and accumulate strength here. The King of Guanzhong is not something we can ask for.
If we want to occupy the position of King of Guanzhong, we will definitely be hostile to the Xiang family. Do you think we can defeat the Xiang family? "
Han Wangcheng sighed slightly, knowing that was impossible. Chu was the strongest among the countries, and Xiang Liang had a high reputation in Chu. He was still an ally of the Luo family. This position of co-leader of the world seemed to be prepared for Xiang Liang. , it’s really enviable.
Zhang Liang didn't want South Korea to fall into a losing war with Chu, so he cut off Han Wangcheng's intention to enter Guanzhong from the beginning.
The two led the army to Liu Bang's camp, and then Zhang Liang saw Luo Yi. He immediately understood that it must be Luo Yi who asked Liu Bang to invite him.
So in front of everyone, Zhang Liang asked a key question, "Pei Gong, do you want to assist Xiang Yu in cutting off Mengtian's grain road and enter Guanzhong, or do you want to enter Guanzhong yourself?"
Zhang Liang knew that Liu Bang wanted to enter Guanzhong when he analyzed it for King Han before, but he still asked the question.
Because when the princes met before, Xiang Yu expressed great interest in entering Guanzhong. Xiang Liang is king of the world, and Xiang Yu is king of Guanzhong. The greater the effort, the greater the benefits. This is as it should be.
The main purpose of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is to restore the country, and they basically have their own basic base. Those like South Korea who seek help from the Xiang family are even less likely to fight for Guanzhong.
But if a hero like Liu Bang wants to show his prominence and seize a piece of territory, he must fight with the old nobles.
In comparison, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the 800-mile Qinchuan land without an owner obviously had the least entangled interests, and it also had the endorsement of the Luo family at the time of the alliance.
Xiang Liang will not break the agreement with Luo family and enter the pass to become the king. This is the best choice for a strong man with no foundation.
Zhang Liang understands Liu Bang's intention to enter Guanzhong. He is not as concerned about Liu Bang as the King of Han. If you want to enter Guanzhong, then I will help you. We are mutually beneficial, but the hostility of the Xiang family will be It's none of my business.
When Liu Bang was about to speak, Luo Yi tugged on his robe and said directly: "Zifang, are there any heroes in this alliance who don't want to be king? The eldest brother said that he should conquer Guanzhong first and become king. Naturally, Pei Gong wanted to If you want to be a king, isn’t this human nature?”
Zhang Liang said with a smile on his face: "Pei Gong is a kind and honest elder. If he can become king in Guanzhong, it must be God's blessing for the Qin people.
It was just that Pei Gong wanted to take a detour to Luoyang, so Liangcai asked like this. "
Before Liu Bang understood, Luo Yi asked directly: "Zifang, is there anything wrong with taking a detour to Luoyang?"
Zhang Liang took out the map of Kantu, pointed at it and said: "If Pei Gong takes a detour to Luoyang, he will have to enter the pass through Hangu Pass. Even if Weihan is strong, it will not be as dangerous as in the past, but with your and Korean troops, attack here. Even if we can win, it will definitely take a long time.”
In fact, Zhang Liang's idea was that it would be a dream to break through Hangu Pass with such a small army.
Zhang Liang pointed to another part of the Kanyu map and said: "If you really want to enter the pass, all you can do now is to take a detour to Nanyang, which is a battleground for military strategists.
In the past, Chu and Qin competed for Nanyang and Shangyu because it was an important route to Guanzhong and a large granary supporting the Central Plains.
If you can control Nanyang, you can go north to cut off the grain and grass coming out of Hangu Pass, and you can also go directly to Luoyang. If you encounter failure, you can retreat to Jianghan as long as you hold Xiangyang.
And once the battle in the Central Plains is decided, you can immediately enter the Pass from Nanyang via Wuguan. Compared with Hangu Pass, Wuguan is at least easier to break. If you want to be the king of Guanzhong, this is the only way.
Pei Gong, a good reader of history books, has never heard of anyone who won a victory without occupying a place of physical beauty. Now Nanyang is a place of physical beauty. You must get here. "
Liu Bang glanced at Luo Yi. He now deeply felt the importance of plotting what Luo Yi said. Xiao He managed the army in an orderly manner, but he did not make any good suggestions on this matter. Zhang Liang clearly gave him Pointed out the way into Guanzhong.
At this moment, Xiao He suddenly walked in and said: "Pei Gong, Xiang Yu is here to visit."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw Xiang Yu walking into the camp. Liu Bang quickly stepped forward and said, "General Xiang."
Xiang Yu directly grabbed Liu Bang's arm and said with a smile: "Pei Gong, I heard that you are willing to go west to destroy the violent Qin Dynasty. Among the princes in this alliance, it is rare that you have such courage. I have always liked to interact with real heroes. , are you willing to go with Ji to fight Meng Tian?"
Everyone did not expect that Xiang Yu came here to ask Liu Bang to fight Meng Tian with him. Xiang Liang fought north of the Yellow River, while Xiang Yu fought south of the Yellow River. Chu State wanted to have another head-on confrontation with Qin State. .
However, the Xiang family had not yet drifted, knowing that relying solely on the power of the Chu State was not enough, so Xiang Liang planned to contact King Zhao, King Wei, King Yan, King Dai and others, while Xiang Yu approached Liu Bang.
Liu Bang made a decision in his heart, but could not refuse Xiang Yu directly, so he said: "General, there are many heroes in Shandong, but you are the only one who defeated Meng Tian. Now you invite me to go with you, can I refuse?"
It's just that the soldiers are not fully armored and cannot resist the Qin soldiers. I hope to detour to Luoyang and cut off Mengtian's food route for you. This is what I can do for you. "
Xiang Yu let go of Liu Bang and laughed loudly: "Pei Gong is really a hero. He did this to fight against Mengtian in Zhengdi. You cut off his food route in Luoyang, so please be careful."
Xiang Yu is really brave. Liu Bang is at least behind enemy lines. He can still run away if he can't defeat him. He directly faced Gang Mengtian, and there was no worry on his face. Even Liu Bang couldn't help but persuade him, "General."
Meng Tian was a general during the time of the First Emperor, and the Great Wall Corps was one of the most elite armies of the Qin Army. Such a military appearance was not comparable to that of the previous Qin Army. You must be careful, because the burden of the world is on you. "
"Pei Gong, you don't know something. The deputy of the Great Wall Corps is Wang Li. He is a descendant of Wang Jian. In the past, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu. Ji's grandfather led the Xiang family's children to fight, and they all died in the battle. At that time, Ji was I swear that I will definitely kill all the people of Qin in the past.
If a man's promise is not fulfilled, and if the great hatred of his ancestors can be forgotten, will Ji still have a face to stand in this world? "
Everyone was silent when they heard this. Xiang Yu was right. Such a great feud would be remembered forever.
After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, you are really a kind and honest man. I am willing to be your brother. If I become the king of Guanzhong in the future, I will also make you the king."
Although there is a big age difference between the two, Liu Bang has always been informal and would not care about this. So he and Xiang Yu became brothers in front of everyone and jointly fought against Meng Tian. They went directly into Guanzhong and completely cut off Meng Tian's retreat. This was also considered as a fight against Meng Tian. Bar?
Xiang Yu left happily after getting Liu Bang's promise. He couldn't wait to fight the Qin army. Liu Bang and others also packed up their troops and prepared to leave Zhaocheng, detour from Chendi, and cross Xinyang towards Nanyang.
The flames of resistance against the violent Qin in the world finally started to burn with the entry of Luo family and Chu State. Fusu tried his best to change the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang City, but what could he do with just relying on him? Woolen cloth?
