Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 242 The Solution (Congratulations to the Leader of High School)
Outside Xu County, Liang Jun camped.

When Zhao Yan walked into Liu Kou's Chinese army tent under the guard of Shen Tujia, Liu Kou was eating a half-cooked pig's foot. Yelling and nodding was regarded as a courtesy, but Zhao Yan didn't dare to neglect, and bowed deeply to Liu Kou according to the etiquette.

After a long while, Liu Kou finally finished gnawing on the pig's trotters, wiped his mouth with unsatisfied intentions, and then said to Zhao Yan carelessly: "Military Master, you are not serving the King in Dingtao, why are you here?"

Shen Tujia, who was following Zhao Yan, frowned, thinking that this was too much for the general.

Zhao Yan didn't care about it, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty sympathizes with the general's hard work, and I have specially ordered you to come to express condolences."

"Oh, so the military advisor is Lao Jun here?" Liu Kou nodded and asked again, "Is there any wine or meat to eat?"

"Of course there are." Zhao Yan said with a smile, "But the fine wine and meat are all in Quyang, and they have never been brought to Xu County."

Liu Kou narrowed his eyes, and said in a bad tone, "Does the military adviser mean that this general shouldn't rush to send troops so as to form a confrontation with the Huainan army?"

"What did the general say?" Zhao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, "Although I objected to His Majesty sending troops to Jiujiang, since His Majesty has already made a decision, I will do my best to help His Majesty achieve his goal, regardless of Jin She, Li Zuo, etc. Whether the car really surrendered or pretended to surrender, they are all generals of the Liang Kingdom now, and it is only natural for the general to send troops to respond."

"The military master really thinks so?" Liu Kou's expression softened a little when he heard this, and the hostility in his expression was also greatly reduced.

Zhao Yan was coming to Jiujiang, Peng Yue had already told Liu Kou in a letter, and Peng Yue also warned Liu Kou that he must discuss with Zhao Yan carefully when encountering important matters, and he should not act arbitrarily. He, Liu Kou, is capable of uprooting mountains and winning the championship bravely. When will it be the turn of Zhao Yan, a white-clothed scholar, to point fingers?
Liu Kou originally thought that after Zhao Yan arrived in Jiujiang, he would rely on Peng Yue's trust, criticize him, and even interfere with his commanding power, but judging from Zhao Yan's posture and words just now, it seems that this is not the case. This white-clothed scholar is quite upright, knowing that he, Liu Kou, has the final say in Liang Guo's army.

Zhao Yan could easily feel the subtle change in Liu Kou's expression, and immediately said: "General, I am here to assist the military affairs under the orders of the king, but for all military affairs, no matter how big or small, I am only responsible for making suggestions, to put it bluntly The subordinates are counselors and aides, and the decision should be made by the general."

"Military commander, please sit down." Liu Kou was very satisfied with Zhao Yan's statement, and said, "Come here, serve wine and meat!"

Zhao Yan gave a bow, and then he sat down at the table, and soon a small school entered the big tent with wine and meat.

"Military division." Liu Kou held up his glass of wine and respected Zhao Yan from afar, "You are a guest from afar, and I will do it first to respect you."

Zhao Yan raised his glass of wine to pay respects, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Liu Kou is a simple-minded warrior. The purpose of coming to Jiujiang to assist in military affairs is to improve the relationship with Liu Kou. The long-term feud between the general and the military division is not a problem after all.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Kou and Zhao Yan gradually became acquainted, but at this moment, the general Chu Chun suddenly strode into the account, bowing to report: "General, the return of the horses, tens of thousands of Chu army cavalry are on their way." Approaching Xu County!"

"Huh?!" Liu Kou was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly got up and said, "Tens of thousands of Chu army cavalry?!"

Liu Kou couldn't help but be surprised. There have long been rumors that Yingbo has formed an alliance with Xiangzhuang. If the rumors are true, then the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Chu army must have come to help the Huainan army. Once the Huainan army joins forces with the Chu army, Liang Jun Liu Kou's [-] plays are indeed elite, but the Huainan Army and the Chu Army are not easy to mess with.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about it, the general. If I'm not mistaken, the Chu army probably didn't come here to help the Huainan army."

Chu Chun said: "Then why did the Chu army come?"

Zhao Yan said: "Mostly they came here to mediate the dispute between our army and the Huainan army."

"Mediate the dispute between our army and the Huainan army?" Liu Kou frowned incredulously, "Xiang Zhuang's boy would have such kindness?"

"That's right." Chu Chun didn't believe it, "The military master's words are ridiculous. Xiang Zhuang's son is still wishing that our army and the Huainan army will lose both sides, so how can he kindly mediate the dispute between our army and the Huainan army?" Chu Chun said to Liu Kou again, "General, the Chu army must have come to help the Huainan army, so hurry up and ask the king for help."

Zhao Yan smiled when he heard the words, Chu Chun just said that Xiang Zhuang wished that Liang Jun and Huainan Army would lose both sides, but when the topic changed, it turned out that he was helping the Huainan Army. Isn't this contradictory?However, Zhao Yan did not criticize Chu Chun for his language problems. Instead of making Chu Chun unhappy by saying it now, it is better to let the facts speak.

That night, Wu She, a senior official of the state of Chu, entered the Huainan camp in a grand manner.

After narrating the etiquette, Wu She said bluntly to Liu Kou: "General, Liu Bang first assigned Jiujiang County to the Huainan Kingdom, and then let Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche pretend to surrender to the King of Liang. This is clearly the three tigers competing. The plan is to use Jiujiang County as a bait to stir up disputes among Chu, Liang, and Huainan, and finally allow Han to reap the benefits."

Liu Kou couldn't help his heart skipping a beat when he heard the words. Although he is a simple-minded martial artist who doesn't like to use his brain when things happen, it doesn't mean that he is a fool. Let Wu She say this, Liu Kou also feels that it is really the case The thing is, the sudden surrender of Jin She and Li Zuoche is really suspicious, maybe it was really ordered by the King of Han.

But Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Three tigers competing for food? The doctor's words are alarmist."

Wu She couldn't help looking sideways, and asked Liu Kou, "General, may I ask who this is..."

Liu Kou raised his hands and said, "This is the military advisor of our Daliang Kingdom, Zhao Yan and Zhao Zijin."

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhao Yan." Wu She arched his hands at Zhao Yan, and said, "Mr. must be a man of profound knowledge and insight to be the military advisor of Liang Guo, so I would like to ask Mr. Liu Bang secretly ordered Zhou Yin, Jin She, and Li Zuoche secretly pretended to surrender the King of Liang, what is their intention?"

Zhao Yan said: "Fake surrender? How do you know it's not a real surrender?"

"Sir, you might as well take a look at this." Wu She took out a silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yan, while saying, "This is a secret edict issued by the King of Han to Zhou Yin, and it clearly states that Zhou Yin should raise an army from Jiujiang. In addition to Zhou Yin, Jin She and Li Zuoche must have received the same secret edict to surrender to the King of Liang."

Zhao Yan hastily read the silk script and handed it to Liu Kou.

After reading the silk script, Liu Kou's face changed drastically, and he almost decided in his heart that Jin She and Li Zuoche were fraudulent surrenders!

When Liu Kou was about to speak, Zhao Yan stopped him with a wink, and then Zhao Yan said to Wu She, "Who can be sure that this silk script is the secret edict issued by the King of Han to Zhou Yin? Maybe it was just forged by you. ? You need to know that there are many capable people in the world, and it is not uncommon for someone to forge the seal and handwriting of the King of Han."

"Whether this secret edict is true or not, sir, should be clearer than anyone else in his heart. I am not here to kill Jin She and Li Zuoche to feign surrender." Wu She knew that he had met an expert this time, so he avoided the serious and ignored it. He changed the subject and said, "I'm here to tell you a piece of news at the order of my king."

Liu Kou snorted and said, "All ears."

Wu Shedao: "My Great Chu has formally signed an alliance with Huainan Kingdom, and this time I dispatched troops at the invitation of the King of Huainan, but King Liang is one of the best heroes in the world today. My king is not willing to fight against King Liang, so I want to Mediate in the middle, hoping to successfully resolve the dispute between Liang State and Huainan State, and avoid a disaster of swordsmanship."

"But I don't know what conditions your country has?" Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard the words. Liu Kou and Chu Chun couldn't hear it, but he, Zhao Yan, could hear it. It's already very strong, and the implication is that if you Liang Guo doesn't listen to the greeting, maybe my Chu State will join hands with Huainan State to beat your family.

Almost at the same time, Bai Lixian was also talking freely in Wang Yingbu's tent of the Chinese army in Huainan.

"All of these are enough to prove that this is Liu Bang's strategy of the three tigers competing for food. Its purpose is nothing more than to provoke a melee between our Great Chu, Liang State, and Huainan State. If the battle is open, the Three Kingdoms will not only Losing troops and destroying generals, spending money and food is useless, and will miss the period of strategic opportunities for development and growth. The final result will be that the more you fight, the poorer you will become, and the weaker you will be. When Liu Bang sends his army out of the customs three to five years later, what will the Three Kingdoms do? Resist the front of the Han army?"

Ying Bo said impatiently: "These widows know about it, so just tell me why you came here."

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan, and said indifferently: "Liu Bang wants to use Jiujiang County as a bait to facilitate the three tigers competing for food, but my king will do the opposite, hoping to work with the king and the king of Liang Agree on a solution to defeat Liu Bang's plan, not to mention the loss of a county, and the loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

"The solution?" Ying Bu said in a deep voice, "I would like to hear the details."

Bai Lixian didn't hide anything, and said straightforwardly: "Jin She and Li Zuoche's elite soldiers belong to Liang State, Jiujiang County is divided into two, and the four counties of Quyang, Yinling, Dongcheng, and Zhongli in the east and north are assigned to Huainan State. The rest of the ten or so counties belong to Da Chu, and to show sincerity, it is best for the king to issue an edict immediately to lift the siege of Xushan."

This solution was finally finalized after repeated discussions between Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian.

Obviously, if you want to solve the problem in Jiujiang County, if you want Liu Bang's plan of the three tigers to compete for food, it will definitely not work without the cooperation of Peng Yue and Yingbo, and if you want Peng Yue and Yingbo to cooperate, it will not work without giving some benefits Yes, Peng Yue can exchange the trilogy of Jin She and Li Zuoche, and Yingbo can only give up six counties in the northeast of Jiujiang County.
