The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 484 Liu Xiu Sends Troops
The place Han Xin finally chose was the Xinye area.Han Xin has his own reasons for choosing this place.

The Xinye area is a place where many rivers converge. The river network here is densely covered. The famous rivers include Han River, Dan River, Zhejiang River, Tuan River, Lu River, Bi River and many other rivers. Moreover, the rainy season has not yet completely passed. When the army goes north, the first problem to face is the weather problem.

Once the river surges, the Chu army's phalanx can be completely separated, and it will be easy to defeat them one by one.

On the same day that Liu Bei's army set off, Han Wang Liu Bang received a letter and hurriedly recruited Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to discuss this matter.

As soon as Zhang Liang opened his mouth, he said, "If you don't send troops now, when will you wait?"

Liu Bang was puzzled, because the last time he received Liu Bei's distress letter, Zhang Liang was the first to oppose sending troops.

Why are there supporters sending troops now?

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, my lord. If Lord Xuande couldn't stop Lv Bu in the previous battle, we might be able to quench our thirst when we send troops from Pei County? But now Lord Xuande already has his own background, In this battle, we have shown our own strength, and our army is sending troops to help, that is a strong alliance, and the soldiers in the army are also happy to fight."

Liu Bang nodded. In fact, he knows his mind better than anyone else. Once Liu Bei becomes stronger, he is doomed to compete with him in the future. Isn't it brother killing each other?

Sooner or later, they will have to face each other. It is better to ask others to defeat Liu Bei. Liu Bei died in the chaos.

If this is the case, the underdogs will win, and he has an advantage.

"What does Chen Ping think?"

Liu Bang himself has a small thought in his heart. He is now a strong soldier and one of the princes with the strongest hidden strength. Naturally, he is happy to see other princes helping each other to fight. The more people die, the better.

Chen Ping said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the Qin State in the south? I will travel far to the Central Army, and when the Qin Army's elite will go north, who will guard the place where my foundation is?"

"This..." Liu Bang pretended to ponder, but his heart was full of joy, which was exactly what he wanted.

Zhang Liang looked at his words and said, "If the minister didn't think carefully and sent troops rashly, our dynasty would indeed be in great danger, but if we didn't send troops, everyone in the world would know that the lord and Duke Xuande are brothers. Facing danger, if you don't send troops to support, it will really damage the reputation of the lord."

"According to what you said, it is better to send as many troops as possible. Who will lead the army?"

"Your Majesty's righteous son Liu Xiu, this man is very intelligent and has always had the ambition to lead the army in battle. Why don't you give him [-] infantry as training!" Zhang Liang said, Liu Xiu was a person he valued very much. Recommending Liu Xiu, for Liu Xiu, it is also very dangerous to try again and again.

Because Liu Bang himself is unwilling to send troops, the soldiers and horses that can be given to Liu Xiu must be old, weak, sick and disabled.

But now that he has proposed to only give Liu Xiu infantry, even if Liu Bang is stingy, he will not deduct anything.

"Well, that's okay, Liu Fei is still young now, and with such a brother-in-law as a model, I think his future achievements will not be too low." Liu Bang issued an edict, accepting Liu Xiu as General Zhengxi, commanding [-] troops , Send troops to assist Liu Xuande from now on.

After Chen Ping and Zhang Liang left the palace, their thoughts were different.

Just as Zhang Liang was about to get into the car, Chen Ping said, "Master Zhang, wait a minute, can you take the same car with me?"

Zhang Liang thought about it, and said with a smile: "Okay, please!"

The two were in the same car at the moment, Chen Ping took the lead and said: "Since ancient times, patriarchal clan and enfeoffment have been the exterior and interior of each other. I don't know what Zifang thinks about this?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang knew what Chen Ping was going to say. It was obvious that this was not a lice on the bald man's head.

Chen Ping was a little dissatisfied with Liu Bang's failure to rescue Liu Bei, so he invited Zhang Liang to ride in the same car.

"Take Qin as an example." Zhang Liang said bluntly: "In the beginning, when the first emperor ruled the world, he had his younger brother Chengyu (sound jiao, three tones). However, he surrendered to the State of Zhao. The King of Qin was furious, and sent Wang Jianshuai to break Chengxuan and behead his head. Chengxuan's subordinates were also beheaded. What happened? At that time, it was a troubled time, the princes were fighting for hegemony, and blood feuds met each other. If the king of Qin thought about the patriarchal clan, Cheng Yu would not be beheaded. It would be pedantic to blindly accept patriarchal blood relatives, if the king can't take over the world, wouldn't you and I be mediocre for a lifetime?"

When Chen Ping heard Zhang Liang's words, he bowed immediately and said, "Zifang is right! I'm the host today, how about having a drink?"

"Haha, it's so disrespectful!" Zhang Liang laughed, very happy in his heart, this Chen Ping usually thinks highly of himself and has outstanding resourcefulness, it is rare for him to personally invite him to drink.

Liu Xiu won Liu Bang's military order, and he didn't care how many troops Liu Bang gave him. He thought that what he lacked was just an opportunity, and now that Liu Bang has given him such an opportunity, is he still worried that he can't flex his muscles?

Liu Xiu, who was so happy in his heart, led the army and set off directly. He didn't care what the people under him were like, he led the army along the way and borrowed directly from Zhao Guo.

After Zhu Yuanzhang received Liu Bei's letter, he still planned to send troops, but he was dissuaded by Chen Gong and Liu Ji.

The idea of ​​the two is very simple, help Liu Bei repel the Chu army, and the old land of Zhang Chu will have an owner.

If Liu Bei cannot live, Liu Bei must unite with Hong Xiuquan, the kingdom of heaven. In this way, the three armies fought to the death, and Zhao Guo had the possibility to include Zhang Chu's old land into its territory.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it too. When the three armies were exhausted from fighting, wouldn't it be better for him to lead the army, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​sending troops.

Right now, I received a report from the soldiers at the border, saying that Liu Xiu, a general of the Han army, wanted to borrow it from Zhao Guo. Hearing that Liu Xiu was only bringing [-] old and weak soldiers, he directly ordered Liu Xiu to pass through. Can't give birth.

This is not for soy sauce...

Let's say that after Liu Xiu walked out of the border of Zhao State, he went all the way south and went directly to Xiacai!

Xiacai is the capital of the ancient Cai Kingdom, when the First Emperor ruled the universe and issued an edict to destroy famous cities and kill heroes.

Xiacai did not escape bad luck, the city walls were destroyed once, but even so, Xiacai's disciples are still there, and they were not completely destroyed. When the war broke out, the officials in Xiacai city rebuilt Xiacai Cheng.

Liu Xiu led the army to the outside of the city, and asked someone to hand over the certificate of obeisance. The officials in the city saw that this was Liu Bei's nephew, and without thinking much, they directly opened the city gate to welcome Liu Xiu into the city.

The first thing Liu Xiu did after entering the city was to check the population of Xiacai and the amount of food in stock.

There is basically no need to think about the food and grass, they have already been transferred by Liu Beizheng, but... the population is still there!

Liu Xiu's first goal is to recruit soldiers!

In a short period of time, he has pulled up a large army. He has confidence in himself, and now he is recruiting under the banner of the King of Han. As for the military salary, it is barely enough to pay once. Fangzheng has arrived at Liu Bei's place. It is impossible for Liu Bei not to pay the bill, right? .

Just do it, Liu Xiu pulled up a big banner the next day, and wrote "Liu Xiu, General of the Great Han Conquest to the West", with the purpose of recruiting troops.

Of course, Liu Xiu did not write a blank promise. He promised that all those who joined the army would be exempted from taxation and corvee at home for three years, and that all the things captured on the battlefield would belong to themselves without having to hand them over.

The hard-pressed people who had already been squeezed by the local officials of Shangcai, heard that they could be exempted from taxes and corvee for three years, and they were still in command of the regular Han generals, especially the things they robbed on the battlefield belonged to them.

As the old saying goes: Poor people make money.Rich and compassionate!This is true.Seeing that the whole family can't survive, who cares about etiquette, justice and shame?
In real history, when there was a famine, people cannibalism happened. The Confucian set of propriety, justice, integrity and shame seemed extremely pale and powerless in the era of turmoil and chaos.

Zhang Dagui was originally a small landlord in Shangcai City. His family had hundreds of acres of fertile land, next to the Huai River, the land was fertile, and he lived a good life.

Even in the war of Qin State's unification of the six countries, it didn't have any big impact on his family. After Liu Bei took over Xiacai City, he ordered them, the landlords, to turn over their grain and grass.
In this way, who dares to say no?
Zhang Dagui took the lead in handing in the grain and grass. He just watched the granary that had just been harvested and became empty in the blink of an eye. The pain in his heart could not be described in words.

Seeing that Liu Bei is now at war with Xiang Yu, once the war starts, who knows how much food and grass will come here?
Maybe the originally wealthy family will be ruined!

"Hey, the ancestors of the old Zhang family, the offspring are not filial!" Zhang Dagui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

As the saying goes, prosperity of the people is suffering and death of the people is suffering, it is true at all.

"Father! Good news! Good news!"

A young man hurried in and shouted loudly

Zhang Dagui quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes, put on a serious expression, and scolded: "You are already weak today, and you are still so big or small?"

This is Zhang Dagui's son, Zhang Dafu!

Zhang Dafu danced and danced: "Father, General Zhengxi of the Han Army is here. General Zhengxi is the adopted son of the King of Han and the eldest nephew of General Liu. He said that as long as we join the army, we will be exempted from taxes and corvee for three years, three years. Ah, dad, look at our family’s grain, it’s almost finished by General Liu, if I go to join the army now, my family won’t have to turn in the grain, and what’s more, I don’t need to turn in the supplies I got from the battle, I keep it for myself!”

"Absurd, you are the only son in the old Zhang family. What if you die when you go to war? Didn't you kill your father!" Zhang Dagui lowered his face and looked angry.
