After Cao Shen learned of Wu Qi's rebellion and surrender to the Qin army, he immediately quickly informed Liu Bang of Jiujiang, originally Liu Bang thought that this matter would never change, and Hengshan would be stable.
On the way back to his home, Han Prime Minister Xiao He saw a group of people and horses tied up with many family members, suspected of being from the Wuqi tribe, and he was a little surprised, and he followed him to the palace.
At this moment, Liu Bang was angry, and looked at the Wu clan people who were caught first in the palace, and said very indignantly: "When did this king treat you badly, open the door to build a mansion, plough the fields and reward, and the slaves are endless, I never thought that Wu Qi, the erector of Wu Qi, would act like this, lead five thousand men and horses, and directly surrender to the Qin State, which is extremely hateful!"
” The eldest son of the Wu clan knelt aside, and said with an embarrassed face: "King Qiyu, what does this matter have to do with us, my father is dedicated to Chu, and he has no choice but to be born at the wrong time, so he has this evil thought, I hope the king will forgive me!"
” "Hmph, it's like a spring, drag it out and cut it!"
Liu Bang waved his hand directly and said.
The attendant was about to pull the Wu family out, when Xiao He also rushed in from outside, and saw that the hall was in chaos, crying endlessly, and a few people dragged Wu Zi, which made Xiao He a little flustered.
He immediately stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "King Qiqi, what is this matter, Wu Qi is on the front line, deceiving his people, and what he has done is not in line with benevolence and righteousness. ” Liu Bang didn't speak, after all, he didn't know about this matter, but the eunuch next to him also knew how to lift it, and took the silk book back directly from the case, and handed it to Xiao He very respectfully.
His words said: "Han general Cao visited, I have a word, but also ask the king to think, the Han Dynasty sent troops twice, I and Lu Juan led five thousand, Wu Qi each led five thousand, and then learned, the expression was in a trance, but the next day was full of energy, I looked at his words, thought that it was painful, so it was like this. ” "With its clear strategy, it will be rescued in the north city of Hengshan, Sima father and son because they are the Han army, do not refuse in their hearts, welcome into Wu Qi, but they don't know that Wu Qi's wolf ambitions, actually colluded with the Qin people, secretly opened the city gate, so that the north city fell, the Qin people occupy two-thirds of Hengshan, Chenxian will bow down to guard, dare not make mistakes, and ask the king to make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to leave a trouble, such a crime of treason, the punishment of the three clans can not calm the resentment of the people of Hengshan."
"Today, the northern city is hidden and guarded, and the Chenxian ministers and others are based on it, but it is a pity that Sima and his son are for the country and the people, but they were harmed by the villain, which is a pity."
Xiao He looked at it, sighed a little, and then asked Liu Bangdao: "King, send Wu Qi to Hengshan, is it your attention?"
” At this time, Liu Bang didn't defend himself, nodded slightly, and said: "Probably, I didn't listen to Zhang Liang's words in time, so that this is really the king's fault." ” "This time it was sent to Beicheng, it was also the king's act, I never thought that such a disaster would happen, I am worried about the person in Chenxian, according to the city as the king, so I sent it to the front line, in order to be safe."
After listening to what Liu Bang said, Xiao He's face was uncertain, and he said after a long time: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, listen to the opinion of the ovary earlier, imprison Wu Qi, and send Cao Shen to go, how can there be anything today." ” "The Wu people have been in Gaocheng for some time, acting cautiously, there is no big mistake, the king today will capture and kill all of them, it is tantamount to doubting again, now Wu Qi is in Qin, want to come to the official is not low, now his wife and small clan are all killed, only to increase hatred, if he is in charge of Hengshan, we will have no way to go west, and we need to think twice, why kill harmless people, and attract talented generals, ancient wise people do not do, the people of their people can be reduced to civilians, no need to extinguish, it is a good policy."
Xiao He said slowly.
Liu Bang was beside him, bowing his head slightly, "What Xiang Guo said is extremely true, and he just left them alive." ” When those clansmen heard that they were exempt from death, they were all overjoyed, and bowed to Xiao He: "Thank you Prime Minister for saving my life, we are grateful, and we will thank you again in the future!"
” "It's free, let's go home, it's good to live, don't think about Wu Qi."
Xiao He said helplessly, and just arranged the Wu clan out now.
At this time, Zhang Liang also walked in from outside the hall, and when he saw the Wu clansmen who went out one after another, his face eased a lot, fortunately, King Han's murderous intent was not heavy, otherwise he would really have an immortal enmity with Wu Qi.
When Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang coming, he hurriedly prepared tea and set up a banquet, and sat with him, "This king is ashamed not to listen to the words of the ovary, so that half of the land in Hengshan is in the hands of the Qin people, ashamed and ashamed!"
” Zhang Liang held the teacup and said quite comfortably: "The king does not need the strategy of the ministers, so that other countries lose two-thirds of the land, in order to test Wu Qi's bad heart, it can be said that it is not enough, now it is enough to guard Chenxian County, there is the tomb of the righteous emperor, the king is a native of Chu, and he wants to avenge the Chu emperor and raise troops, this strategy should be from the beginning." ” "Wu Qi can't protect Emperor Chu Yi, but defected to the Qin State, and now I see that we are guarding the tomb of Emperor Yi, not with the Qin people, and without killing his people, it can be said that it is a second humiliation, and he will be haunted by it for the rest of his life, which is a murderous heart."
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and asked instead: "Today, Tibet is guarding in Beicheng, if there is no jungle and mountain stream in the middle, Chenxian County is also in danger, so what can I do?"
” "Let's listen to what Xiangguo said, how about it?"
Zhang Liang looked at Xiao He and said.
The reason why Zhang Liang handed over the right to speak to Xiao He was only because Xiao He frowned slightly, and he seemed to have a plan, but it was not easy to implement, so he wanted to hear his opinion.
Xiao He did have some opinions in his heart at this moment, and said a little brewing: "King Qiyu, now that the death of Hengshan General Sima Yin is unknown, the Gongwei is young and ignorant of the world, Cao Shen is deployed, and Lu Juan is the deputy general, I don't know what is the use of keeping the Gongwei?"
” "Wu Qi is not chaotic, it can still be guarded, today under the chaos, inch is inch, ruler is ruler, the king can secretly order Cao Shen to occupy Chenxian County, and move the captain to the lower reaches of the Jiujiang River, we are outside in the name of protecting the righteous emperor, and the inside is opposed to Qin, it is a good policy, we do not prepare early, sooner or later by Qin also."
"Exercising benevolence and righteousness to the people, but exercising force against the city, has been the same throughout the ages, and the common commander sticks to the lonely city, it is useless, and it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible."
Liu Bang frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't refute, just looked at Zhang Liang and said, "What do you think of the ovary?"
” "Enlighten the king, benevolence and righteousness are carried out in benevolence and righteousness, and the capture is carried out in the capture, the benevolence of the woman cannot be constant, and the courage of the husband must not exist, the king can act, how can there be a prince in the world who is not tempted by the city, even if the overlord has a hundred miles of land, and he can't bear to be under the righteous emperor, why can't we occupy the city."
"What the two Aiqing said is very true, today will not attack Chenxian, tomorrow it will be returned to Qin, and as the princes said, this king will send a secret letter to inform Cao Shen to occupy Chenxian, change its name to the emperor's tomb, and send heavy troops to guard it."
Liu Bang said very seriously.
It's not too late to make amends, at least everyone is here, and Hengshan is just going to lose the city.
