Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 746 Poison Scheme
"Your Majesty, Prince Chen, you have to leave."

"Zhang Han is coming for you this time." In the simple palace of Daze City, Zhang Liang took advantage of the night and stepped into the palace in the heavy rain. In the palace, Chen She was discussing with Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and others how to deal with Zhang Han's movements.

After listening to Zhang Han's words, the expressions of several people in the palace changed slightly, and Xiang Yu's face showed dissatisfaction.

After all, he had already used war to prove that he was the one who knew how to fight best in this vast land.

Now, he has not yet made a judgment on the upcoming battle situation, but Zhang Liang has made a judgment first... Then where does that put Xiang Yu?
Especially the remarks that asked King Chen to divert attention were directly pointing at Xiang Yu's nose, saying that he, Xiang Yu, was no match for Zhang Han and there was no difference.

Zhang Liang ignored Xiang Yu's anger, but came to the sand table they were discussing and reached out to adjust the flag in front of the sand table.

Zhang Han was a famous general who had a vision of the world, but did not understand the essence of the world. Zhang Liang, although not a famous general, had a vision of the world and understood the essence of the world.

Therefore, he watched Zhang Han's actions clearly, just like looking at flowers from above and below.

During his "dispatching", Zhang Han's movements and even some information that had not yet leaked out were all clearly shown on this sand table.

"See? Zhang Han's advantage is that he has a well-trained army and sufficient food supplies."

"If we say that the world's famous generals can be divided into super first-rate, first-rate, and second-rate, General Xiang can be considered super first-rate. Although Zhang Han is not the general's opponent, he is also considered super first-rate - but under Zhang Han's command, there are other first-rate and second-rate deputy generals."

"But on our side, you are the only one who can support it alone, General Xiang."

Zhang Liang looked up at the crowd and said, "It's not that the heroes under King Chen's command are inferior to Zhang Han - it's because the State of Chen is weak and has no cost for trial and error. Therefore, apart from a genius like General Xiang, the other generals are mostly good at setting up camp and training soldiers, but few have the ability to fight in battle."

"Because Chen Guo doesn't have the money to train them."

"But Qin is different."

"Since the uprising at Daze, many of Zhang Han's generals have been defeated by the general - but many of them were defeated but not killed."

"The generals I can face are not first-rate, but definitely second-rate."

"And those who can calmly march before the general must be first-rate."

As he spoke, Zhang Liang's gaze fell on Xiang Yu again, and then on Chen She.

"When Zhang Han fights a general, he doesn't even need to defeat the general."

"He only needs to hold the general back and make him unable to support Prince Chen. Then the generals under Zhang Han will be enough to defeat this Daze City."

On the sand table, as Zhang Liang fiddled with it, a situation soon emerged.

Xiang Yu and his army were trapped by Zhang Han's army which was more than ten times heavier than his. On the other side, the remaining troops of Zhang Han headed straight for the city of Daze.

"The possibility deduced by Zhang Liang is the possibility after I leave Daze." After a moment, Xiang Yu noticed a flaw in the situation deduced by Zhang Liang.

"How could I leave Daze so easily and abandon King Chen?"

"Prime Minister Zhang, please be at ease. I will calm down and control my fighting spirit in this vast swamp."

"As long as I am still here, no matter how many troops Zhang Han has, they will not be able to break through this Daze City."

Xiang Yu said that he just regarded the current situation as Zhang Liang's deliberate warning to him, telling him not to rely on his own strong strength to go out and fight recklessly.

"Since Zhang Han has mobilized all his troops, how could he not have expected that the general would refuse to come out?"

"Before attacking the city, he will definitely find a way to transfer the general away."

"Unfortunately, my intelligence is limited, and I can't figure out what method Zhang Han is going to use to force the general to leave the city even if he intends to hold on."

"But in any case, the mastermind behind this is in King Chen, not in Daze."

"So, instead of us painstakingly thinking about Zhang Han's plan and trying to counter it, it is better to use General Xiang as the vanguard to break through the blockade of Daze and move to another place."

"Once we go somewhere else, we will have a chance to breathe and connect with various clans to get supplies. Externally, the generals in various parts of the Qin State will have their own defense areas. We can travel back and forth, and the conflicts between the different generals of the Qin Army over who will fight and who will defend will make the situation better."

"If a tree is moved, it will die; if a person is moved, he will live!"

Zhang Liang said.

Everyone in the palace began to think about it.

After a moment, Wu Guang shook his head.

"No!"

"Zifang, this great lake is the starting point of the anti-Qin movement, and it is where your majesty's banner is."

"If you abandon Daze and run away, King Chen will no longer be King Chen."

If he leaves this vast swamp, without his army and supporters, even if he is 'welcome' by other noble families, he will only be a puppet in the hands of those families, and he will have to kowtow in front of them, and even his life will be out of his control.

You never know when those aristocratic families will sell them to the Qin State in exchange for enormous wealth.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to stay in this swamp and perish with the swamp, so as not to become a prisoner of Qin and a laughing stock of the world - Wu Guang himself knew that if Qin tortured him severely, he would definitely not be able to endure it.

As they were talking, outside the palace gate, several generals and soldiers came up to the crowd, wearing wet armor and knelt down in front of them.

"Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty!"

Several generals cried and explained the whole cause and effect in detail.

Although they all came to Daze City, they still had private contact with their families.

At this time when Daze City was short of food, they also notified their families and privately raised some food and fodder to transport into Daze City.

As a result, all those who were willing to help them, such as their parents, relatives and friends, were captured by Zhang Han along with their food and supplies.

Not only that, even those merchants who dared to sell grain to this Daze City were arrested.

According to the news brought back by the spies, these people will be executed for treason and treason in three days.

Zhang Han would personally supervise the execution, and then use it as a sacrifice to launch the final attack on Daze City.

At this moment, all the emperor and his ministers in the palace fell silent.

They all knew how Zhang Han was planning to transfer Xiang Yu out of the city.

——Those who were captured were the relatives of the generals, and those who had private interests with the State of Chen and had been preparing food and fodder for the State of Chen.

If these people are not rescued, the people of the Chen State will immediately lose their morale.

King Chen's flag could never be raised again.

And if they want to save those people, the only person the State of Chen can mobilize is Xiang Yu!

Only by commanding Xiang Yu to lead the elite troops to attack will it be possible to rescue those people.

At this moment, the people in the hall once again saw Zhang Liang's "foresight".

If Zhang Liang hadn't revealed it in advance, no one would have thought that Zhang Han and his men's actions, seemingly plotting against Xiang Yu, were actually plotting against King Chen. "Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang's gaze once again fell on Chen She.

Under such circumstances, if Chen She did not leave, he would only become a loophole.

"Prime Minister Zhang, I just want to ask you one question." Chen She looked at Zhang Liang in front of him seriously.

"If I leave and the news spreads, will the morale of the army still be stable?"

"Even though General Xiang's troops are all elite, if they learn that I have abandoned the army and fled when they go into battle, their morale will be shaken. Not only will they not be able to rescue anyone, but even General Xiang will be killed."

"Zifang, being able to accurately find and capture them is not just Zhang Han's business - Qin's Black Ice Platform must also be involved."

"You know best the power of the Black Ice Platform."

"If I leave, this news will be impossible to conceal no matter what."

Chen She said.

"Zhang Han is hateful!" Hearing Chen She's voice, Xiang Yu also started cursing as if he had a premonition.

His military strategy is still at the level of cunning in war - it is still some distance away from using every possible means to win.

Therefore, he could not understand why Zhang Han, a general, would make such a decision that would be doomed to be infamous for eternity.

While he was puzzled, Chen She at the top had already made a decision.

"I'm not leaving."

"General Xiang, I'll give you all the elite soldiers in the city - can you kill through Zhang Han's army and bring those people back?"

"As long as you can bring them back this time, no matter if I die here or I am lucky enough to survive, the Qin State will not attack them again."

Because it's useless to do it.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, even Xiang Yu couldn't help but be moved.

In the past, although he fought under Chen She, he always called Chen She "King Chen" - because Xiang Yu always thought that he was here to verify what he had learned and to accumulate experience.

He never thought that Chen She, a man of humble origin, was his lord.

But at this moment, when Chen She made this decision, Xiang Yu suddenly felt that having such a lord might not be a bad thing - not just giving him a number of elite soldiers perfunctorily, but giving him all the elite soldiers in the city with great determination and entrusting everything to him!
So Xiang Yu immediately bowed solemnly to Chen She.

"Your Majesty, hold out in the city for one day!"

"Within one day, even if Zhang Han brings all the Qin army here, I will definitely break through Zhang Han's siege and return to support Daze!"

"Then I entrust everything to you, General." King Chen responded solemnly.

Then, Xiang Yu immediately took the military order and went to Daze City to mobilize troops, prepare weapons and armor, and recuperate. Zhang Liang and Wu Guang also paid their respects and went to the city to collect wine, meat and other items for the elite soldiers who were about to go into battle.

And Chen She's gaze fell on Liu San again.

Although some people have always recommended Liu San, believing that he has the ability to command troops, Chen She never used Liu San - because Chen State had few soldiers and a small population and could not afford to gamble.

Therefore, since entering the Daze, Liu San has been responsible for the affairs of the rangers, mediating the conflicts among the rangers, gathering information from various places, and so on.

"Liu San, once the Black Ice Platform moves, it will definitely not just move outward."

"General Xiang is leading his elite troops out. There will definitely be rumors in the city that will cause confusion among the people, and the knights-errant from all over the city will also inevitably cause trouble."

"There may even be assassins trying to kill me."

"Can I entrust you with the affairs of this city, such as stabilizing people's hearts, calming rumors, and even organizing rangers to defend the city walls?"

"I will live up to the king's trust!" Liu San also bowed solemnly, then stepped out of the palace and summoned the rangers from all over the city. He took those rangers to patrol the city in the heavy rain, searching for traces left by the Black Ice Platform.

The heavy rain is certainly beneficial to the actions of the Black Ice Platform, but it will also cause them to leave more traces.

Liu San believed that as Xiang Yu reorganized his troops, Heibingtai, who was lurking here, would definitely try his best to send the message out.

When everyone was moving for Xiang Yu, Prime Minister Wu Guang entrusted all his affairs to Zhang Liang and returned to his mansion.

He knocked the pillow off the bed, revealing a jade box covered by a military flag.

It was the jade box that sealed the locusts.

Before this, Wu Guang had never thought that the situation would get so bad, so he had never thought of using the jade box - but who could have thought that the situation would suddenly become like this?

The swampland that was clearly still able to hold on was in danger of being destroyed in an instant?
It was just a simple strategy to transfer Xiang Yu away, which was like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, making their land of Daswamp almost desperate.

It can be seen that Zhang Han has been preparing this strategy for a long time.

It would be impossible to find all those people in a day or two, and to arrest all the relatives of those noble families who had hidden their identities.

But why start now?

Or has it been so long since Zhang Han finally decided he's had enough?
So before, had Zhang Han always been "playing" with them?

After a moment, Wu Guang suddenly unfolded the map.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the war in the Great Swamp was in full swing. Although resources had become increasingly scarce over the years, they had always been winning in the battle.

But no matter how they won, this great swamp was tightly blocked by Zhang Han.

This is a situation that is completely opposite to the war situation.

"So, there has never been a chance."

The more he looked at the map, the more confused he became.

On the huge map, the swamp is only a corner, and everything around the swamp is blocked.

Under such a situation, every war that seemed to be won was a weakening of Daze - because after each war, their soldiers became fewer and fewer, and it became more and more difficult to replenish them.

On the other hand, on Zhang Han's side, even if 10,000 people died today, these 10,000 people would be immediately replenished the next day.

Therefore, no matter how Zhang Han 'loses', his strength remains the same.

"No wonder everyone says Zhang Han is a famous general in the world."

"I was saying, he was obviously losing all the time, but how come he became a famous general?"

“It turns out that he always wins!”

In an instant, immense despair emerged from Wu Guang's heart.
