Chapter 426
"Hey, I have pity on my brother Ji. People talk too much, and you still have to go to jail in Hanzhong!" On the way to Hanzhong.

In fact, according to the timetable Xiang Yu gave Liu Bang, Liu Bang could delay going to Hanzhong until April.But in fact, at the end of January, Liu Bang led the army directly to Hanzhong.

Before Liu Bang left, he met Zhang Liang secretly once. It is said that Zhang Liang advised Liu Bang to leave early this time.

Zhang Liang told Liu Bang that although Xiang Yu let Liu Bang go for a while, he also understood that Liu Bang was his biggest opponent. Once Xiang Yu reacted, he would definitely do his best to kill Liu Bang.

And if Liu Bang delays leaving until April, first of all, Xiang Yu will be given a lot of time to react.

Secondly, if Liu Bang didn't leave, the Sanqin would be unstable, and Xiang Yu would have to stay in Guanzhong to monitor Liu Bang. Xiang Yu must be extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bang after a long time.

But now Liu Bang patted his ass and left directly, which means that he attaches great importance to Xiang Yu's orders, and treating Xiang Yu as his own master will undoubtedly satisfy Xiang Yu's vanity and reduce Xiang Yu's murderous intentions.

Of course, the most important thing is that once Liu Bang starts to set off for Hanzhong, no matter how strong Xiang Yu's army is, it will have no way to face the narrow plank road, and its huge military strength will not be able to be displayed.

In addition to letting Liu Bang leave immediately, Zhang Liang also offered Liu Bang another strategy, which is to let Liu Bang completely burn down all the plank roads before leaving.

Before the state of Qin, only the desired forest and mountain roads could pass between Guanzhong and Sichuan. A small number of people might be able to break through, but a large army would definitely not be able to pass through this dangerous road.

After Qin State destroyed Ba State and Shu State, it expended a huge amount of national power to build a plank road on the cliff, that is, to find a way to nail huge wood into the cliff wall, and then lay narrow planks on the wood, so that It can make people advance directly on the cliff.

In this way, the speed of continuous advancement becomes extremely fast, and there is no need to worry about getting lost in the jungle, or simply being infected with various diseases in the forest, or facing the attack of ferocious beasts, etc.

And once the plank road that Qin State took hundreds of years to build is burned down, it will return to the situation where it can only be passed through the forest path.

It's as if there were thousands of kilometers of expressways between the two cities, but Liu Bang dug all the roads of the expressway while walking, so that others could only take the dirt roads in the countryside.

The journey that could have been reached in two days may now take a month or even two months, and the vehicle may break down on the side of the road at any time, completely cutting off the passages on both sides.

And Zhang Liang told Liu Bang that the purpose of this strategy is also very simple, which is to further paralyze Xiang Yu, make Xiang Yu firmly believe that Liu Bang will not be able to come back from Hanzhong in a short time, and at the same time cut off Xiang Yu's way of chasing and killing Liu Bang, so that Xiang Yu can slip away. Hurry back to Chu State and don't stay in Guanzhong.

"Zifang!" After listening to the strategy Zhang Liang left for himself, Liu Bang was silent for a while, and suddenly called Zhang Liangdao, "Zifang's strategy is good or not, but I just want to know that if I burn the plank road, in the future I will How to get out?"

"This is something that Pei Gong's general should care about, not what I should care about!" Zhang Liang said mercilessly, "Pei Gong just needs to be clear, with my strategy, Pei Gong still has another chance to set foot in Sanqin. If I don't use my strategy, Pei Gong may not have a chance to reach Hanzhong."

At this time, the biggest difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu appeared. If Xiang Yu heard Zhang Liang's strategy, he would not be clear about whether he would implement it, but he must first think about it with his own brain, and then sort it out with his own sense of honor. Once again, to see if he is worthy of his prestige as the overlord of Chu, and finally decide whether to implement this strategy.

On the second day, Liu Bang directly announced to all his subordinates and the army that he would leave for Hanzhong three days later.

This order immediately set off a huge storm within the Han army, and then there was a frenzied fleeing wave. More than 5 people fled the Han army camp in one day.

As I said before, Liu Bang's men have 10 troops, but the composition of these troops is complicated. The men who really followed Liu Bang from Peixian County to fight all the way are now less than a thousand people left, the backbone of the rectification army.

Most of the remaining troops were gathered during the smooth battle in Hedong. Their hometown is just outside the customs, but now Liu Bang is going to Hanzhong to become king. Naturally, it is impossible for these troops to follow Liu Bang and abandon their families. , As a result, half of the army was gone in this day. Even if Liu Bang had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help being extremely irritable when he saw this result.

But it's not without good news. For example, Liu Bang's most core group in Pei County is basically there, especially those heroes who followed Liu Bang all the way. None of them left Liu Bang, which made Liu Bang very happy, even if he left again the next day. After killing 2 people, only 2 people remained with Liu Bang.

It's just that Liu Bang never expected that the number of people in the team did not decrease until the last day before departure, that is, the third day.

This is not to say that no one fled today. On the contrary, there were still 6000 people who fled before and after, but there were still 6000 people who entered the barracks, expressing their willingness to serve Liu Bang at this time.

This result was extremely puzzling to many people at the time. After all, this kind of behavior seemed as bizarre as joining the national army in 49, nonsensical, and mindless.

Moreover, among the 6000 people who came to seek refuge here, more than 1000 people are scholars in Guanzhong, literati, or famous heroes, etc. These people hate Xiang Yu to the core, and at the same time they don't like Zhang Han. The sinners who betrayed 20 compatriots, their purpose of joining Liu Bang is obvious, that is, they think that Liu Bang is the only one in the world who has the chance to defeat Xiang Yu and avenge them, so they want to join Liu Bang.

But there are more than 3000 other soldiers of various princes, and most of them are corporal leaders in the army, and even middle and low-level officers like school lieutenants. They all abandoned their original army and positions and ran to Liu Bang. Here to apply for a job, just to be able to join Liu Bang's army.

This made Liu Bang very puzzled, so he asked Xiao He why these people couldn't think about it, and then Xiao He said excitedly, "Pei Gong, these are the foundations for us to seize the world in the future."

"Everyone in the world thinks that Xiang Yu has pacified the world. Those who are still in the army of the princes are looking forward to a peaceful life in the future. These people are nothing but fools!"

"On the contrary, those heroes who have pride in their hearts and hope to establish a greater cause, they need a wise master who can lead them to prosperity and become a marquis."

"They are the most intelligent and powerful people in the whole world, and the army composed of these people, especially an army of 10, will definitely be able to sweep Liuhe for Pei Gong and defeat Xiang Yu."

Xiao He's words may sound a bit inexplicable, but the meaning is very simple, that is, those who can still come to seek refuge with Liu Bang when it seems that the world is about to be stable.

After all, they are all ambitious and resourceful talents, and only such talents will abandon their stable positions and choose to join Liu Bang's army.If Liu Bang got the service of such a person, it would be better than an army of 10.

And among the people who came here to join Liu Bang, there was a man named Han Xin.
