Changcheng guards are strict every day, there are patrols day and night, and now I heard that the Chu army retreated, I was quite surprised, thinking that there was fraud, but in the past few days, there was no movement, and I knew that the Chu army had really evacuated.
Zang Tu and others had nothing to do, so they said goodbye to Tian Heng and others, saying that Tian Heng also had some guts, after the Chu army withdrew, the Qi army took advantage of the situation to recapture the five cities, the Chu army had something behind him, since he was not entangled with the Qi army, and he captured a few cities, fortunately, Tian Heng received it when he saw it, and there was no accident.
There are still some reasons for the withdrawal of the Chu army, Chu Emperor Xiong Xin has indeed had close contacts with Liu Bang recently, the reason is very simple, Jiujiang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, located in the southwest, no one noticed his threat at all, even if Hu Hai captured Zhao and made peace with Chu, he only talked about Jiujiang affairs slightly, and did not have the idea of sending troops.
And Liu Bang has also been in Jiujiang for half a year, the grain is ripe for one season, the soldiers and horses are sufficient, and there are Xiahou Ying, Li Sheng and others Sasuke, and their strength is nothing more than slightly inferior to Xiang Yu and others.
Therefore, he no longer silently buries his head in Jiujiang, but there are only two best places to start, that is, Linjiang and Huiji, as for the king of Hengshan, facing the pressure of Qin, Liu Bang does not want to break through Hengshan as soon as possible, and when it is adjacent to Qin Chu, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country.
As for the convenience of Linjiang is the land of Bashu, where the people are simple, more than half of the grain of Qin is transported from Bashu to Xianyang, and there are Zhang Han and Wang Li guards, and there is no way to start, and recently Liu Bang also heard that Meng Tian led 50,000 soldiers across the Linjiang River and went south, which made Liu Bang a little jealous of Qin, so he did not dare to make a big show and disturb the border of Qin.
Qin Linjiang can not send troops, if he sends troops to Hengshan and fights with Gongao, in the end it will only make Qin Chu profitable, not done by the wise, so Li Sheng and others suggested sending envoys to Huiji, to meet Emperor Chu, to contain the overlord, so that Chu Guoji can not waste a soldier, it will be Han You, and Xiang Yu is helpless, after all, Emperor Chu is set up by him, and now he regrets it and loses his trust in the world, will he not be laughed at by the people of the world, and he will not dare to do it.
The Chu Emperor Xiong was afraid of Xiang Yu for a long time, and now he heard that the King of Han sent troops to sue for peace, and on the surface he wanted to move south, but in fact he was separated from Xiang Yu, so as not to be threatened, and the King of Han could send troops to guard it.
Compared with Xiang Yu, Emperor Chu still has a higher degree of trust in Liu Bang, after all, when the princes came to Huiji at the same time, the King of Han was the most respectful, but Xiang Yu was quite arrogant, which made Emperor Chu feel angry.
The general situation in the south is like this, Pengcheng Prime Minister Fan Zeng got the news and immediately sent Zhou Lan to invite Xiang Yu back, but to Fan Zeng's surprise, Xiang Yu actually withdrew all the troops and did not leave the Chu army to defend, but these are not important, Emperor Chu is a big trouble, and it must be solved as soon as possible.
In three days, Xiang Yu withdrew from Changcheng, crossed Surabaya and went straight to Pengcheng, at this moment many soldiers have gathered in the hall, Xiang Yu's robe has not been changed, so he hurried over.
Without waiting for Fan Zeng to get up to greet him, Xiang Yu took the lead in asking: "Father, what does Emperor Huiji Chu want, I heard what Zhou Lan said today, it seems that he has something to do with Liu Bang, the king of Han." ” When Fan Zeng heard this, he sighed slightly, "Yes, Liu Bang and Emperor Chu have been in close contact recently, and the old man feels that Emperor Chu wants to move south, conspire with Liu Bang, and contain us, so he sent Zhou Lan to inform the king, and hope that the king will send troops quickly and deal with it as soon as possible."
Xiang Yu pondered for a long time, and when Ji Bu saw this, he slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "King Qiyu, Weichen feels that what Ya Father said is a little inappropriate, after all, Emperor Chu has a noble status and rashly sends troops, if the people of the world laugh at it, what can they do?"
” "Well, what Ji Bu said is reasonable, does the father have any other good plans?"
Xiang Yu said.
In Fan Zeng's view, Xiang Yu's military power has reached the highest level, and some time ago he occupied several cities in Qi State, and today he sent troops to participate in the meeting, and the most in the world dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and then he persuaded people with virtue to make up for his mistakes, but he never thought about it but was rejected by Ji Bu, and his words also made some sense, and Fan Zeng did not say more.
Zhou Lan was beside him, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately got up and said: "King Qiqi, what I am worried about now is that Huiji will be occupied by the King of Han, and it will be difficult to recapture it in the future. ” "Will the plan be released?"
Xiang Yu also hurriedly asked.
"Today's Huiji is where the palace of the king of Chu is located, if the king easily occupies it, he must have some scruples, if the emperor of Chu is not in Huiji, we will increase the army, and the world will have nothing to say, so the Huiji must be owned by the king."
Zhou Lan said seriously.
Everyone nodded, and Fan Zeng's face was puzzled, "It's just that Emperor Chu has been in the meeting for a long time, how can he leave, and how to leave is also a problem." ” "This matter is not difficult, just make a big fuss about Liu Bang's interaction with Emperor Chu, but write that Liu Bang has the intention of rebellion, and when the time comes, I hope that Emperor Chu will be sent elsewhere to ensure safety, and I don't care where I will be sent when the time comes, so the place where the king raised his troops is not lost and recovered, and then returned to the king's account."
Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Fan Zeng and the others couldn't find any other way, although the strategy was a bit abrupt, but it was really feasible.
"Then according to Zhou Lan's intentions, prepare soldiers and horses, and go to Huiji at any time, even if the Chu Emperor does not leave, this king will also send troops, called the purge of traitorous ministers, and when Wu Qi does not leave, he will have to go, if he leaves, the Chu Emperor will have no ministers, so he will be worry-free."
Xiang Yu said with an oath.
Everything is established, first by Xiang Zhuang led a thousand soldiers and horses to Huiji, at this moment Chu Emperor Xiong Xin is also discussing the matter of moving the capital, but Liu Bang needs to send troops to guard Huiji, because Liu Bang has not yet sent troops, so Emperor Chu has not yet moved, the most important thing is not to know where to go, after Wu Qi's suggestion, first in Huiji according to the soldiers, and see how Xiang Yu acts, and then make a decision.
How do you know that Xiang Zhuang suddenly came to Huiji at this time, and Xiong Xin didn't want to see the overlord's people, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to set up a palace to see Xiang Zhuang.
After the monarch and ministers finished the ceremony, Xiang Zhuang took out the silk book and said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, the king of Pengcheng has a silk book with many suggestions, and I hope that Your Majesty will read it and accept it, so as not to hurt the friendship of the king." ” Emperor Chu bowed his head, ordered the people to present the silk book, and his words said: "The overlord worships His Majesty, the question is straightforward, today the thieves are swarming, the group of marquis rises, although the micro-ministers are suppressing the Quartet, they can not be destroyed, so that the Qiyan countries coexist, there is Hengshan in the north, the outside is obedient and the inside is clever, there are Jiujiang in the south, Chu Pi Han bones, it is really two troubles, but although Hengshan is strong, surrounded by enemies, do not dare to act rashly, the ministers are worried, only Jiujiang Liu Bang is erected. ” "Since the Weichen Southern and Northern Wars, he has been alone in a corner, not communicating with the country, and the corporal is polite and virtuous in the open, and recruiting troops and horses in the dark.
"Qin Chu talks about peace, there is no longer a war, Han's move, the intention is to be audited, his account has always been a good strategy, most of them are brave generals, Your Majesty believes it, then the country is not guaranteed, so the micro ministers have a list of examples."
"As soon as he cut off the exchanges between Chu and Han, he was good with Qin, and choked his throat, so he didn't dare to be arrogant and arrogant, and pointed directly at the royal capital."
"Second, Your Majesty will move or move, and the group will accompany you, and you will be stationed in another country, and when this son is pacified, Your Majesty will return to the royal capital."
"The third micro-minister leads the troops to fight, and His Majesty is at ease in political affairs、、、。"
Emperor Chu looked at it, and was indignant in his heart, even if he was incompetent, he knew the meaning of the overlord to move south, but he didn't know what to do!
