Destiny Only Han

Chapter 102 Lessons from the past
Guanzhong, southwest of Lantian County, Gaoguan.

Liu Bang stood on the chariot, looking at the Xiongguan on the top of the mountain in front of him.

"what's the situation?"

He twisted his beard and whispered softly, a little confused about what was going on.

About half an hour ago, the gates of the city were opened wide, and the general guard of the gate came out to meet him in person, ready to surrender to him.

But after a gallop came, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The gate of the city was closed tightly, the suspension bridge was raised, and the general guarding the gate, together with the envoys sent by the Qin State to negotiate peace, beheaded them for public display and threw their heads off the city!
Listening to the whispered discussions of the soldiers around him, Liu Bang's face was a little uneasy.

Myself, is this being played?
He looked at Cao Shen and said angrily, "You choose [-] strong men from the army to take down Gaoguan!"

Cao Shen took a step forward, and when he was about to take the order to leave, a clear voice sounded in the distance.

"Wait a while, listen to a certain word!"

Liu Bang looked up and saw a man wearing a lake-green curly train, with a long sword hanging from his waist, handsome features, and his sleeves fluttering as he walked, as if he was coming from the wind.

This person is Zhang Liang.

Cao Shen looked at Zhang Liang, curled his lips secretly, a big man, so good-looking...

Liu Bang jumped off the chariot and walked a few steps towards Zhang Liang: "What can I teach you about the ovary?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Now the situation is unclear, so it's not appropriate to attack rashly."

Liu Bang was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "The Qin army beheaded the generals in front of the formation, there must be something wrong! Besides, the Qin army in Gaoguan is well-trained and has the advantage of the terrain. If you attack rashly, I'm afraid it will only increase the casualties!"

Liu Bang glanced back at Gaoguan, and saw that Gaoguan was built according to the mountain. Although the open space in front of the pass is much wider than that of Wuguan, it can't deploy too many troops. Looking at the city pass, you have to look up. , It does give people an indestructible feeling.

He nodded in agreement, and turned his gaze back to Zhang Liang. He knew in his heart that Zhang Liang stopped him now and said such words, so he must have already made up his mind.

So Liu Bang put his arms around Zhang Liang's shoulders, leaned in front of him and asked, "What does Zifang think, you might as well just tell me."

Although Zhang Liang was not used to it, he understood that this was Liu Bang's gesture of intimacy, so he turned his face to the side indiscriminately:
"Maybe let people plant flags widely in the mountains, think of suspicious soldiers, put on a large-scale offensive posture, and then send people to sneak into the pass secretly, inquire about the situation, and then make plans!"

Liu Bang: "Good!"

…………

In the evening, on the Qinling Mountains beyond Yaoguan, the campfires of the Chu army were like stars in the sky, and the soldiers sat on the ground, singing a little song from their hometown.

The cook in the army kills pigs and sheep, cuts up the bears and wild deer that the soldiers hunted in the mountains, puts them on the fire and roasts them, sprinkles some salt, and roasts until it is sizzling and the meat is fragrant.

According to Zhang Liang's request, many camps were set up in the windward area of ​​Gao Pass, and the smell of meat wafted with the wind and spread to the noses of Qin Jun above the Cheng Pass, making them salivate.

The Qin army has a strict hierarchy, and according to the rank of the title, each meal is even different.

Those below Shangzao who have the second-level nobility will provide a bucket of coarse rice, a plate of vegetable soup, and 22/[-] liters of salt every day.

Possessing the third-level hairpin title, the daily supply is a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, a plate of vegetable soup, and half a stone of hay.

Well, the hay that was handed out was for them to raise their horses.

Curly person, harness also.

According to the rules, people with a title of "hairpin" or above can ride a horse instead. In earlier times, this title was also called "walking horse".

If you want to eat meat, you must at least be a military official with a fifth rank or higher.

It's a pity that in the state of Qin, titles of doctor and above are usually not awarded to ordinary people from the head of Guizhou. For them, if they can have the fourth level of nobility, it has come to an end.

Leeks are always leeks.

Unless, there is a fox barking outside the window...

Therefore, when the aroma of barbecue wafted towards the defenders of Gaoguan, one can imagine what kind of waves the Qin army caused in their hearts.

After all, everyone is leeks, why can you eat meat!
Just, very angry!

But helpless.

…………

The big tent of the shogunate of the Chu army.

Not only the aroma of meat wafts here, but also the strong aroma of wine.

However, Liu Bang was not drinking at this time, but was reading a letter by the light in the tent.

A letter from Yangzhai.

The flames lasted three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.

Originally, after leaving Pei County, Liu Bang felt that he was not a young man who loved Zhan's family, but after spending several months with Yang Zhai and Liu Taigong, he always missed that time very much when he was free.

Of course, sometimes he would gnash his teeth, wishing he could swing the scabbard into the air in front of him, as if he was in front of that cheating brat!

He has been living in Yangdi for the past few months, and he has been beaten by his father, which is almost the same as in the past few decades!
Gritting his teeth bitterly, Liu Bang picked the wick and continued to read the letter.

The letter stated that they had left Yangdi and were heading towards Wan County, and they would arrive within a few days.

The letter also said that my little boy made a very comfortable carriage, which minimized the suffering of everyone's journey.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he was a little thankful, fortunately, when he left Wan County, he assigned the Sheriff's Mansion to his own use, so that after the family arrived in Wan County, they could directly live in the magnificent Sheriff's Mansion!

snort!
Let my father take a good look, is it that I, a prodigal, have the ability, or the second brother who runs the family business in his hometown has the ability!

Liu Bang secretly planned in his heart, after he took down Xianyang City, he would take that old guy over to have a look, what does it mean to be magnificent and full of palaces!
At that time, if he still dares to beat himself...

Then run away, after all, dear father...

However, you can grab that brat first and beat him up to vent his anger!

Liu Bang smiled happily, immersed in the fantasy of beating the child on a rainy day, and being idle is idle, until Lu Wan couldn't stand it anymore and poked him.

"It's important to get down to business. When you think about women, you can wait until midnight to dream back!"

Liu Bang didn't bother to explain, the happiness of having several wives, a single dog like him would not understand!

At this moment, Li Shiqi's face turned red, and he said drunkenly: "Over there in Xianyang City, Ziying lured and killed Zhao Gao, and became the king of Qin... Hiccup, the gatekeeper was originally Zhao Gao's man, but now he has been replaced by Ziying. doorman."

Liu Bang nodded slightly, no wonder the two sides had already negotiated, and then such a moth appeared again.

Zhang Liang asked, "Do you recognize the current general guarding Gaoguan?"

Li Shiqi smiled with a drunken eye:
"I know! He was originally the son of a butcher, and he made a living selling meat in the Xianyang market."

"After the second came to the throne, he slaughtered his brothers and sisters. Ziying was a little panicked, worried that one day it would be his turn, so he secretly recruited powerful people from Kong and Wu as his disciples, hoping to kill Xianyang City and gain a glimmer of life when things couldn't be done. .”

"It's just that I didn't expect that after Ziying became the King of Qin, this guy also had shit luck and became the guard of Yaoguan..."

Zhang Liang asked again: "Then how much loyalty do you think he has to King Qin?"

Li Shiqi did not answer directly, but slowly stretched out a finger.

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, smiled without saying a word, while Lu Wan and Cao Shen scratched their heads, not knowing what charade these two guys were playing again!
Liu Bang looked around, with a sense of superiority on his face, and immediately stretched out two fingers silently: "One box of gold is not enough, take two boxes!"

Li Shiqi hiccupped, cupped his hands and said, "It's done..."

…………

Guanzhong, Roshan.

The mountains here are gradually flattening, and it is less than fifty miles away from Lantian County, which guards the southern gate of Xianyang City.

On the mountain road, an army holding high the red Chu army battle flag is marching quickly.

The first person, Long Zhun and Long Yan, with a beautiful beard and beard, is Liu Bang, Marquis of Wu'an.

Ever since Li Shiqi took two boxes of gold and bribed the general guarding the gate, the butcher's son immediately withdrew his troops and sat trapped inside the gate, assuming that I don't exist if you don't care.

Under the tacit understanding of each other, Liu Bang immediately led the main force to bypass Yaoguan and march towards Lantian County.

At this moment, although Liu Bang was a little tired, his face was slightly smug.

Two boxes of gold, bought Xianyang City, worth it!

Beside him, Zhang Liang moved closer to him, and said softly: "Now, Marquis Wu'an please order, go back to Jungao Pass!"

Liu Bang staggered: "What?"

His first thought was to think of Wan County West that day, and Zhang Liang had the same expression at that time.

Did you make a mistake, come again?
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The guard of Gaoguan is new, and he has no foundation in the army, so he cannot completely control the guard of Gaoguan."

"That is to say, he surrendered to me in his personal capacity, not to the guards of the Yi Pass! If the soldiers under him turn to Qin and rebel, what should we do if we launch an attack from behind our army?"

Liu Bang pondered for a while, his brows furrowed.

No one knows the situation of Xianyang City. Although it is a city without walls, if Ziying has the means to mobilize the people of Qin to defend it, he will still be unable to take Xianyang City in a hurry!
At that time, if it really becomes what Zhang Liang said, it will be really troublesome!

After all, after Chen Sheng started the incident, he ordered Zhou Wen to attack Qin Guanzhong. Zhou Wen recruited soldiers all the way, and after he attacked Hangu Pass like a broken bamboo, he already had thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

However, the Lishan criminals led by Zhang Han were defeated in the first battle, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them. Even Chen Sheng was defeated and died!

Lessons learned from the past, we must guard against it!
Seeing Liu Bang's silence, Zhang Liang said again: "Now, the general of Qin wants to make peace, and the pawns of Qin will either follow or rebel. It is time to slack off. When our army launches an attack at this time, he will definitely be caught off guard!"

…………

At the top of the city gate, more than a dozen Qin soldiers stood at the top of the city, discussing in low voices.

They have all heard the news that their general has negotiated peace with the Chu army.

Sure enough, the butcher's son is despicable, wanting to use tens of thousands of them to please the Chu people in exchange for money or even a title!
"Is this our king, the doorman we rely on?"

Seeing the small but seeing the big, Ziying's reinvigorated military spirit after killing Zhao Gao disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, the red flag was waving in the distance, and I don't know how many Chu troops rushed over!
"Enemy attack!"
