Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 8 Attack the heart first, then attack the city!
Since he and Song Yi Xiang Yu entered the army last year, Liu Ji fought many small battles along the way and captured more than a dozen cities.

Because there is no Zhang Han's army of suppressing robbers in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are only captains and county soldiers who are mainly responsible for catching robbers in the counties and counties.

Therefore, Liu Ji's army is quite powerful.

……

Liu Ji is a smart man, he understands that his own strength is not enough, all the way west, his mind is not on fighting, but mainly on collecting all kinds of diaspora to join the army.

Liu Jiyi accepts all the refugees who are young and strong, the displaced people after the defeat of the princes of all parties, the people left behind by the government after large-scale projects, and the brave wanderers who came out of troubled times to find a way out.

When Liu Ji's army entered the affluent Sanchuan and Nanyang County, the number of Chu troops Liu Ji was in had reached a staggering 20.

At this moment, Liu Ji's army was in full swing, and it was already quite magnificent.

There are also many celebrities and military generals who have been subdued, such as Chen Wu, the general of Chu who led the army alone, Li Shiqi, a famous scholar in Gaoyang, Huangxin and Wu Pu, the scattered generals of the Wei army.

The guard general of Wancheng of the Qin army and his family member Chen Hui, Lie Hou Qi Ji, Wang Ling and others all had a good time.

Especially the encounter with Zhang Liang and Han Wangcheng gave Liu Ji's army a top-notch think tank and made a more favorable choice.

Now the leader of the gangster, the second protagonist in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Ji has greatly increased his strength, and has become a force that can control the general trend of the world.

……

Although the Chu army won a complete victory in the Battle of Julu and even beheaded hundreds of thousands of original troops, the main force of Qin is still there. As long as Zhang Han is still there, Liu Ji will not dare to act rashly.

Not daring to rush into Guanzhong, Liu Ji, after occupying Nanyang, transferred to the Xiaoshan area to station, watching the changes of major events in the world.

During the period, Liu Ji got impatient several times and wanted to enter Guanzhong, but was discouraged by Zhang Liang shaking his head.

Because Guanzhong is naturally dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, without enough troops, it is impossible to break through.

Especially now that Xiang Yu has won the Battle of Julu, and his prestige is unparalleled in the world, it is definitely not the time for Liu Ji to take the lead.

……

"Everyone, Zhao Gao made an agreement with me that if the Qin Kingdom surrenders, he will be the King of Western Qin, and I will be the King of Eastern Qin. What do you all think about this?"

East Qin King, these three words are full of power and temptation. At this time, Liu Ji is still the great ancestor who will destroy Chu and become emperor in the future.

At this time, Liu Ji was just a gangster with his head in his pocket, living in fear day after day.

As far as Liu Ji is concerned, East Qin King is the biggest official position he can think of. As for the throne, Liu Ji has never thought about it.

"Pei Gong can't do it!"

Li Shiqi cupped his hands towards Liu Jiyi and said, "Zhao Gao's cholera caused the Great Qin court to ruin his reputation in the world. Collaborating with him will only ruin Peigong's reputation."

"As long as our army invades Guanzhong, Pei Gong will be the King of Qin, so why care about a mere Eastern Qin King."

……

"Ah."

Liu Ji's political wisdom is absolutely unparalleled in the world. From Li Shiqi's words, he understood the pros and cons of colluding with Zhao Gao, and said coldly.

"A manly man, if you want to be the king of Guanzhong, even the king of East Qin will not have the turn of an eunuch to divide it!"

Liu Ji's determination made everyone under his command excited. Wuguan is in front of them. As long as they enter Wuguan, Xianyang will be under the command of the army.

The king of Chu has an order: the first to enter Guanzhong, the king!

Now that Guanzhong is right in front of us, very close, the civil and military advisers who followed Liu Ji are naturally very excited. The hero who founded the country will be tomorrow.

At this time, Liu Ji's civil and military forces are the most concerted efforts.

……

"I'm in a hurry, I hope to enter Guanzhong as soon as possible. However, the Qin army is still strong, and they are defending against danger. Although the Qin army was defeated in the battle of Julu, the main force remained."

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji, paused every word, and said: "If Zhang Han returns to Hangu Pass at this time and sits in the middle of the pass, will he be able to defeat him with one step?"

Zhang Liang's voice was flat, but every word he said made Liu Ji, who was hot-headed because of the temptation of the King of Guanzhong, calm down in an instant.

"No, Zhang Han has 20 Qin troops in his hands. Since Xishui defeated Zhou Wen's army, he has won consecutive battles. The combat power of his army is far beyond our comparison."

There was bitterness in Liu Ji's words. He knew that the 20 army seemed to be a large number, but it was just a mob. It was not comparable to the elite Qin army under Zhang Han's command.

"It's just that Mr. Zifang, King Huai of Chu has an order that the one who enters Guanzhong first will be the king. Now that Guanzhong is right in front of us, how can we give up!"

After all, Liu Ji, the Duke of Pei, never forgot the position of the King of Guanzhong.

Hearing this, a bright light flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes, he bowed solemnly to Liu Ji, and said, "Although the Battle of Julu has come to an end, General Zhang Han has 20 troops stationed in Zhangshui."

"As long as Zhang Han is undefeated, it is useless to enter Guanzhong. Now that our army is besieging Wuguan, as long as Zhang Han's army is defeated, our army can take advantage of the situation to capture Guanzhong."

Liu Ji didn't read many books, but he knew whether his own family was successful or someone else was successful, and the meanings were different.

"Mr. Zifang's words are true, always looking at other people's faces, it's embarrassing!"

Zhang Liang smiled, his eyes flickered deep, he looked at Liu Ji, and said: "This is called Qianlong don't use it, move at the right moment, if the sky does not thunder, the dragon will not raise its head."

"Ha ha……"

With a big laugh, Liu Ji smiled, and said, "A potential dragon for a bird is clearly a worm!"

"Mr. Zifang, the army besieged Wuguan, if it is not broken for a long time, it will change if it is too late!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang and Xiao He looked at each other, and they gathered together to discuss the next move.

"Pei Gong, I think you should send Li Shiqi and Lu Jia as lobbyists to enter Wuguan to persuade the general guard of the Qin army to sacrifice the pass to surrender to Chu."

"At the same time, Cao Shen and Guan Ying each led [-] troops to attack Hangu Pass, bluffing to confuse the Qin army at Hangu Pass."

A gleam flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes, he looked at Liu Ji, and said: "When the time comes, Duke Pei will lead the Chinese army, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo and other troops, secretly enter Wuguan from the Danshui River Valley, and wait for the opportunity to make a surprise attack."

……

As soon as Zhang Liang's words fell, the entire big tent fell silent, because this was the first step into Guanzhong, Liu Jizhi was sure to win.

He didn't care whether celebrity lobbyists said the surrender was successful, his mind was only on the sneak attack.

Zhang Liang's strategy of attacking the heart first and then attacking the city can be said to be the key to the art of war. As long as Liu Ji implements it in this way, Wuguan will undoubtedly be defeated.

……

峣 Guan.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ji's army of 20 is approaching Wuguan, and at the same time, two armies intend to attack Hangu Pass..."

Hearing this, a deep look flashed across Hu Hai's eyes, he knew in his heart that Liu Ji's momentum to break through Wuguan was unstoppable, and Liu Ji's accumulated power for a year came from this blow.

As long as the sharpness of Liu Ji's army is exhausted, Liu Ji's army can be defeated in one battle in Gaoguan.
