Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 64 Passing on the Call (Congratulations to the Leader of Zhenglian Yu)

"Huh?" Xiang Zhuang changed his expression slightly, "Can all the more than [-] cities in Weidi be passed down?!"

This time, Xiang Zhuang obviously couldn't keep up with the old guy Captain Liao's out-of-the-box thinking. Just now he was discussing whether to set fire to the Ao Cang Zhisu, and then go east to attack Daliang, but when he blinked, the old guy said , more than [-] cities in several counties in Weidi can be passed down, this is a bit too far-fetched, right?

Wu She's expression changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "Mr. Junjun, you are not joking, are you?!"

The rest of the generals, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, Xiao Kai, Gao Chu, and Jing Qian also looked at each other in disbelief, and Huan Chu, relying on his own qualifications as the oldest, said without hesitation: "Military teacher, you will not Are you talking nonsense?"

It's no wonder that Wu She and the generals had such a reaction, because the Chu army had no foundation at all in Wei, when Xiang Yu rebelled against Qin, he even slaughtered several cities in Wei!If it is said that the people in Wei didn't like the Han army, then they hated the Chu army, but Wei Liao said that the Chu army could rule the whole Wei area. How is this possible?

Facing the generals' doubts and Xiang Zhuang's inquiring eyes, Wei Liao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his well-maintained long beard, and finally said calmly: "General, are you Do you still remember the original intention of us not traveling thousands of miles away to attack Aocang and then attack Daliang in the east?"

"Of course I remember, isn't it just to force Liang Wang Peng Yue to return to his teacher to save himself?"

"Okay, then I would like to ask the general, whether the whole Wei land can force Peng Yue to return to the teacher?"

"That's needless to say? If our army can really control the whole Wei land, Peng Yue may rush back in a hurry. At that time, even Liu Bang will not be able to stop him!" After saying this, Xiang Zhuang went on Dao, "But the question is, the entire Wei land is under the control of the Liang army or the Han army, how to spread the message to determine it?"

Wu She was also extremely confused and said: "Even if the elites of the Wei land were drawn away by Peng Yue, [-] to [-] old, weak and remnant soldiers can still be gathered, but our army is only [-]. If the two armies are in a field battle, I am the elite of Chu. One block ten, but if the Liang army defends the city, I'm afraid our army will be helpless, right?"

"Let's listen to this old man slowly." Wei Liao smiled, "Let's talk about the five cities of Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Chenggao, and Xingyang. Fortified cities with high walls and deep ditches, if the general sends troops to capture them one by one, it will take time and effort, and the casualties will be extremely heavy, but with Chen Xi's seal, these five cities can be easily taken down!"

"Turn down five cities!?" The generals Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Gao Chu, and Jing Qian once again looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xiang Zhuang and Yu Ziqi's expressions moved slightly, they had vaguely guessed what Wei Liao was thinking, and there was something wrong with this matter.

Xiang Zhuang had read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his previous life, and he knew that there was such a plot in it. After Zhuge Liang succeeded in the surprise attack on Nanjun, he took Cao Ren's soldier seal letter, and easily transferred the Jingzhou and Xiangyang defenders, and then let Zhang Fei, Guan Yu seized Jingzhou and Xiangyang by taking advantage of the falsehood. Although this is a fictitious story in the Romance, the role of the soldier seal letter is not fictional!
Sure enough, after Wei Liao finished speaking, he picked up the copper seal on the desk, and said with a smile: "Chen Xi has already lit the Aoshan beacon fire, as the city's protection for Aocang, Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Chenggao, The defenders of the five cities of Xingyang will definitely come to rescue after hearing the news, so the defense of the five cities must be empty, and only five official letters are needed, and our army can take down the five cities without any effort!"

Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately shouted: "Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Yu Ziqi, Gao Chu listen to the order!"

"The last general is here!" Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Kai, Gao Chu, and Yu Ziqi responded and lined up.

Xiang Zhuang also ordered Wu She to repair the five volumes of silk books as quickly as possible, and asked Wei Liao to stamp the seal of Aocang Order's Guanfang on them, and then handed them over to the five people in Huanchu respectively, and Wei Liao specially instructed them to follow the path Marching forward, no matter how many scouts are sent, they must not meet the enemy's reinforcements head-on. After whispering to each of them, the five of them took orders one after another.

After Huan Chu and the five left, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Military Master, go ahead and talk about how to spread the message to determine the land of Wei!"

Wei Liao nodded, and continued: "General, the five generals Huan Chu and Ji Bu pretended to be Long Qie, and after Fan Zeng's army captured Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Chenggao, and Xingyang, Yingchuan, Chenjun, Dangjun, The defenders of Dongjun, Sanchuan and the five counties must be terrified, this is a plan of suspicious soldiers!"

"What a trick to suspect the soldiers!" Xiang Zhuang praised, "In this way, the guards of the counties will never dare to rush to attack before they find out the reality of our army!"

Wei Liao nodded, and said again: "But Liu Bang and the armies of other princes are far away in Huaisi, and it is impossible to come to Wei in at least half a month. In this way, our army will have at least half a month." , General, with this half a month, we can do a lot of things! What's the point of spreading the message to determine the land of Wei?"

As calm as Xiang Zhuang, I will also find that my heart is beating wildly!

Wu She couldn't help interrupting Wei Liao, "But the problem is, the counties in Wei will also strengthen their defenses?"

"It's useless to strengthen your defenses!" Wei Liao said, "Sun Tzu said, "Sun Tzu said, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the city, and the next is to attack the city. Therefore, sending troops to attack the cities of Weidi one by one is actually the next step." Policy! Firstly, time does not allow it, and secondly, our army is small and cannot withstand such a war of attrition."

"Military division!" Jing Qian said anxiously, "Don't be a fool, what's the way?"

"Let's say it, let's say it, hehe." Wei Liao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Peng Yue has only ruled Wei for a few years, and his foundation is still shallow. If the descendants of the King of Wei ascend to the top, and with the backing of Great Chu and Aocang's millet, then the mighty powers, families, and common people of Wei will surely gather and compete to return!"

"Descendants of the King of Wei?" Wu She asked in astonishment, "Wei Bao's family was killed, Wei Jiu's family was raped, is there any royal descendants in the Kingdom of Wei?"

But Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed, the so-called descendant of King Wei does not necessarily have to be the descendant of Wei Jiu or Wei Bao, he could be passerby A, passerby B, or even Chen Xi who was trapped on the top of Mount Ao , as long as what you say is plausible and others are willing to believe it, then he is a descendant of King Wei!
As for the powerful families in Weidi, some of them have already belonged to Peng Yue and followed them to Huaisi, but there are definitely not a few who are depressed. These powerful families who have not benefited from Peng Yue are also very politically speculative. , once someone rises up to challenge the leader, they will definitely be moved upon hearing the news and rise up.

May I ask, which rebellion in history did not involve the participation of a powerful family?
Even if it was the mud-legged people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who rebelled, there were still a large number of powerful families gathered in the scene, let alone the serious descendants of the king of Wei who raised their troops?
Therefore, as long as someone who claims to be a descendant of the King of Wei takes the lead in raising troops, no matter whether his identity is true or not, there will definitely be many powerful families in Wei who come to seek refuge.

If this descendant of King Wei still has the support of Da Chu, then there will be more powerful families who will come to seek refuge.

If this descendant of the King of Wei can still take out the Ao Cang's millet to help the people of Wei, then it's not just the powerful families of Wei who are gathered here, I'm afraid the whole people of Wei will be moved by the news!
In this way, wouldn't the entire Wei land become a blaze of flames?

In this way, the cities in Chenjun, Dangjun, Dongjun, Yingchuan, and Sanchuan counties that originally belonged to Wei State did not need to send troops to attack them at all. Incite the people, kill the county magistrates, county magistrates and even county guards everywhere, and then sacrifice the city to surrender!
Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately praised: "Military division, it's a good plan!"

Wei Liao smiled slightly, and said again: "General, in order to better deter the defenders in Wei and improve the reputation of Great Chu in Wei as much as possible, you might as well send someone to pretend to be the former king and scare off the cities in the name of the former king." Reinforce the army, and then open the Ao Cang, and use the grain from the Ao Cang to give to the people of Wei, then the people of Wei will definitely abandon their previous suspicions and praise the benevolence and righteousness of the former king!"

Wu She and Jing Qian's expressions changed again, wondering what the military division is doing?Let people pretend to be the former king?

Xiang Zhuang was not displeased at all, he just frowned and said, "Where can I find this person?"

But Wei Liao pointed to Gongsun Sui standing outside the door, and said, "General, how about Gongsun Sui?"

"Gongsun Sui?" Xiang Zhuang suddenly looked back, only to see Gongsun Sui standing outside the door with a knife, standing over eight feet tall, strong in body, and extremely heroic in appearance. Xiang Zhuang really didn't pay attention before. Sui is really similar to Xiang Yu, except that the long and vigorous beard is missing under his chin!
Wei Liao thought for a while, and then said: "General, regarding the descendants of King Wei, we should send someone to look for them. It is best to find a real descendant of the old Wei royal family. It doesn't matter how many generations have passed. Of course, if you really can't find them Well, then you can find someone casually, anyway, the powerful and aristocratic families of Weidi know this kind of thing well."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and immediately ordered Jing Qian: "Jing Qian, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Promise!" Jing Qian suddenly agreed, and immediately took the order.

Xiang Zhuang said to Wu She again: "Mr. Wu She, I have to trouble you to write an announcement in the name of the former king and the king of Wei, saying that the great Wei has returned to the country, and the great king of Chu and the king of Wei will open the Ao Cang. Use the millet from Ao Cang to help the hungry people in Wei, and then find someone to copy it, and it must be posted in the surrounding counties within three days!"

"No!" Wu She gave a long bow, and also took the order.

Xiang Zhuang raised his head again and shouted, "Gongsun Sui, come in!"

Gongsun then entered the room in response, bowed his head and said, "What is the general's order?"

Xiang Zhuang looked at Gongsun Sui's clean and smooth chin, and suddenly said, "Go, quickly send someone to find some hair, and let the military master make a fake beard for you!"
