Sima Qi in Beicheng was originally a remnant of the army, and he naturally did not send troops, but in Chenxian County, the communist lieutenant had already sent a messenger to Jiujiang for help.
Liu Bang was waiting, the soldiers and horses were well prepared, but they didn't send troops, and as Jiujiang expected, the envoy of the communist captain came to Gaocheng in only three days.
In the main hall, Liu Bang sat in the first place, and the envoy of Hengshan saluted with a slightly helpless face, and then presented the letter of the communist captain to Liu Bang, signaling his decision.
The king of Han waved his hand slightly, and the servant handed the silk book to Liu Bang's hand, and his words said: "The king of Hengshan worships the king of Jiujiang Han and is unharmed, since his father, Hengshan is inferior, no one asks, and he wants to be at peace with all countries, but Qin is self-assured and strong, and he has been instigating for a few days, but he has not seen his merits, but he has seen his barbarism. ” "The father of the first business is not half of the business, leaving thousands of miles of land and son, I am afraid before and after, only Qin Qiang, today's unexpected, is also the mistake of the boy, the king of Han and his father worked together in Chudi, the reason is a colleague, love is the same relative, Hengshan is the gateway to the Jiujiang River, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the king of Han should know himself, and he can also be peaceful for the frontier if he is not human."
"Although Qin is broken, Hu Hai is in power, acting against the sky, occupying the countries, wanting to annex Hengshan and go down to Jiujiang, unify the country of Tianfu, destroy Chu to sacrifice the order of the first emperor, the ambition of the wolf, the heaven and the man, the king of Han really wants to sit back and ignore it like this, wait and watch his suppression of the Three Jins, and descend to the Yan Lie?"
After a few words, Liu Bang sighed a little after seeing it, and ordered the regular attendant to recite in the hall, and after reading, Liu Bang said seriously: "The matter has come to this, what can I do about it?"
” The envoy of Hengshan thought that Liu Bang was unwilling to send troops, so he immediately knelt on the main hall, wept bitterly and said: "King Qiqi, Hengshan and Jiujiang are neighbors, why not save it, in the past, Qin and Jin were adjacent, although there were enemies, Qin also helped many times, now the king lives in Jiujiang, in the land of abundance, should be cautious to save also, Hengshan is not guaranteed, Jiujiang is difficult to survive!"
King, help each other and send troops to Hengshan!
If Hengshan survives the country, we are grateful, and we will give it away with treasures!
” The two envoys were already incoherent and didn't know what to do, Liu Bang immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't wait for this, this king sends troops to help, I and Gong Ao are old friends, how can I not help his son." ” "Thank you very much!
I don't know when the king will send troops, and if he is not begging, it is really time for me to wait!
The messenger pleaded again and again.
Wu Qi was beside him, and immediately came out and said: "The two don't have to be like this, a certain is the minister of the Yi Emperor, and the bones of the Yi Emperor are still in Chenxian County, how can the Qin people trample on them at will, the king has prepared soldiers and horses, and will go to Hengshan to help immediately!"
Don't worry!
” When the two envoys heard this, they stopped their tears and said very seriously: "And as the king says, just do it." ” On the same day, the envoy of Hengshan thanked Liu Bang, and then rushed to Hengshan with Wu Qi, with five thousand elite soldiers, and did not dare to have any intention of disobedience.
In the Xiangguo Mansion in Gaocheng, Zhang Liang and Xiao He sat opposite each other, their faces were slightly anxious, Zhang Liang held a cup of warm tea, as if he had no intention of tasting tea, and said for a long time: "The king let the tiger return to the mountain." ” Xiao He was a little puzzled and said: "What does this mean, there is no tiger, how can you return to the mountain?"
” "Hey, why is Xiangguo so confused today, that Wu Qi is a favorite minister of Emperor Yi, once the king of Changsha, don't you know that the land of Hengshan originally belonged to Changsha, since Emperor Yi died, Wu Qi was in the house all day long, today suddenly took the initiative to ask Ying, want to go to Hengshan, this intention is obvious, the king trusts this, and let it do, it will become a big disaster!"
Zhang Liang said with a fluctuating face.
"Five thousand soldiers and horses, can it be done?"
Xiao He asked in a low voice again.
"Among the cities of Hengshan, the most important one is Chenxian County, although it is a county, occupies a major position, and the north city is a defensive fortress, so it needs to be said more, now Wu Qi led the troops to Chenxian County, with the young age of the common lieutenant, he must be played by Wu Qi in the palm of his hand, if you don't believe in Wu Qi's scheming, you can invite Xiong Kui out, this person and Wu Qi are the old ministers of the first emperor, and the contact is very close, ask the reason, many truths, naturally understand, if you don't send troops to contain Wu Qi, when its wings are full, it will be a disaster, the king does not listen, and the legacy is endless!"
Xiao He realized the seriousness of the problem, and the only way to solve it was to send another team of people to Chenxian County to form an opposition to Wu Qi, and this matter would definitely succeed!
Besides, if 5,000 soldiers and horses want to establish a foothold in Chenxian County, it will take some time, and only by letting Liu Bang know that Wu Qi has different intentions, after all, when Emperor Yi, Wu Qi and Liu Bang are also comrades-in-arms of the united front, and it is natural for Liu Bang to trust Wu Qi so much.
Xiao He just understood this, and immediately took two entourages to Dr.
Xiong's mansion, and very politely invited him to the front hall of Gaocheng Changle Palace.
Hurriedly detoured to Xiao He, and said with some displeasure: "Xiao He, this king thinks that you are a humble gentleman, why do you do this, Doctor Xiong is an old minister of the first emperor, and he is a member of the royal family, and he is bound to this point, it is rude, and he is not free to loosen the tie quickly, this king will not be investigated, if it is still like this, this king will send you back to P County." ” How do you know that Xiao He bowed directly and said: "King Qiyu, the words of this rich man, the king can be happy, the ovary has already said that Wu Qi has different intentions, the king does not believe it, and the minister will bring Xiong Kui, if he wants to prove what the ovary said, please listen to the king carefully." ” Liu Bang's face suddenly became serious, and he asked with some frowns: "This statement is a bit excessive, but if Wu Qi has different intentions, this king is too miscalculated, Xiong Kui, you tell the truth, otherwise even if you are a nobleman, you can be killed!"
” Xiong Kui was already worried about Wu Qi's affairs at home, but now he was tied up in front of the palace by Xiao He, and Liu Bang asked like this, he was already frightened, and immediately lowered his head and cowered.
"King Qiqi, this matter has nothing to do with the ministers, it is all Wu Qi alone, he has the heart of being called the king and the emperor, I only want to be loyal to the king, I dare not have a different heart!"
When Liu Bang heard this, he was furious in his heart, and kicked Xiong Kui away, "Imprisoned in the city, you can't leave the city when you die of old age!"
Then he changed into civilian clothes and went to Zhang Liang's mansion with Xiao He to find a solution.
At this time, Zhang Liang was drinking tea and reading, and when he saw Liu Bang coming in a hurry, he knew that Wu Qi's matter had been known to him, but Zhang Liang pretended to be at a loss and said: "The king is here, what is the so-called matter?"
” "Wu Qi has two hearts, led me 5,000 men and horses, and wants to use Hengshan as a gateway, what can I do about it?
Please also sir teach me.
Liu Bang asked eagerly.
Zhang Liang looked steady, and said quite seriously: "Just send troops, why do you need to say more, I advised Cao Shen at the beginning, and I also advised Cao Shen today, Lu Juan can be described as a deputy general, and he can lead his troops to Hengshan again, and he can solve everything." ” "And as the gentleman said, this king will do it!
I wonder if there are any other clever ideas?
Liu Bang whispered again.
Zhang Liang just shook his head, "The matter has come to this point, this time it is enough to save it, how can he say it."
Liu Bang didn't ask too much, and immediately ordered Cao Shen and Lu Juan to send 5,000 troops to resist Qin and defend Wu!
