Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 82
Talking and laughing, they followed Xiang Sheng, Xiang Bo, Zhang Liang and others into Qulu City. The left-behind generals of the Young Marshal Army, such as Xiang Sheng and Chao Zhi, had already prepared a banquet in the county temple to cleanse the dust. Because Xiang Zhuang, Xiang You and others were still setting up troops outside the city, the banquet did not start immediately at the request of Xiang Kang and Zhang Liang. Everyone found a place to sit down temporarily, and planned to wait for Xiang Zhuang and others to arrive before sharing the wine together. Together.

Feeling bad in his stomach, Uncle Xiang sat next to Xiang Kang boldly, but before Uncle Xiang could speak to Xiang Kang, his friend Zhang Liang had already sat down on the other side of Xiang Kang, and spoke first. Smiling, he said to Xiang Kang: "Young commander, you shouldn't be judged by appearances. After I came to your army, I carefully listened to your strategies and tactics during this period, and I really admired you. I couldn't think of anything. At your age, Young Commander, you are able to come up with so many ingenious schemes, so that your army has repeatedly defeated the many with the small, and the strong with the weak, it is hard not to admire me as an uncle."

"Uncle Han has won the award, and my nephew is ashamed." Because of Xiang Bo, Xiang Kang has always been vigilant towards Zhang Liang, so his words and answers are full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy. As he said it, he said: "The little tricks that my nephew used are not really clever schemes, they are all opportunistic tricks like cock-crowing and dog-thief. Dog meat won't make it to the table, and it's hard to be elegant."

"Why is my nephew so modest?" Zhang Liang smiled, and said quite sincerely: "If your schemes are not considered clever schemes, there will be no clever schemes in the world. Wipe out the enemy in the book, fight openly and secretly Sneak attack, in order to take over General Chao Zhi who is good at training troops, he did not hesitate to use a false name to welcome General Chao's family members. When capturing Tong and Xusan County, it was even more wonderful and clever. General Wei Baowen has to fight back if he doesn't want to. It seems that he is repeating the old tricks, but he will use the tricks. Attacking the enemy will save the enemy and force the enemy to fight. Among the famous generals, I have never seen someone who can use schemes so brilliantly like you, nephew Xian."

"If you keep giving me a high hat, don't you feel uneasy?" Xiang Kang was vigilant in his heart, but continued to be modest, and said with a smile: "Uncle Han, if you continue to boast, my nephew will really feel ashamed. Xiao My nephew is self-aware, how dare I compare my superficial tricks with those famous ancient generals who use soldiers like gods?"

"Kang'er, you are right." Xiang Bo finally found an opportunity to intervene, and said impatiently: "The way to use soldiers is to be upright and upright, to be upright and to be the master and assistant. One force can subdue ten times, and one blindly can only be evil. It is bound to be difficult for a long time, even if you get a small profit for a while, you will suffer from it sooner or later."

He glanced at Uncle Xiang with great admiration—of course he admired Uncle Xiang's face, and then Xiang Kang cupped his hands and said: "Uncle pointed out that when my nephew uses soldiers today, he will definitely pay attention to avoiding crooked ways, and please uncle in the future." Continue to give advice to my nephew, and help my nephew to overthrow the Tyrant Qin as soon as possible and restore the Great Chu."

"Help you to overthrow Tyranny Qin and restore Great Chu?" Uncle Xiang heard something wrong, and hurriedly said: "Nephew, wait a minute, what did you just say, you want me to help you? Could it be that you want me to be your uncle, why not?" Are you a subordinate to assist you in leading the army against Qin?"

"Of course not." Xiang Kang denied it categorically, and said with a smile: "Even if my nephew has the guts of a leopard, I don't dare to let uncle, you elder, be my subordinate to assist my nephew and me to lead the army against Qin? My nephew is I hope that under your uncle's guidance, I can lead the troops to resist the tyrant Qin army. When the second uncle returns, my nephew and I will respect the second uncle together with you, and under the leadership of the second uncle, we will destroy the tyrant Qin. , capture and kill Hu Hai, avenge the sages of our Great Chu, and restore our homeland of Great Chu."

After saying that, Xiang Kang hurriedly pleaded guilty again, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, regarding this point, my nephew has to plead guilty to you. The former nephew asked Han Li and elder brother Han to bring you a letter, and I want you to inherit the legacy of your elder father, uncle." Titled Wu Xinjun, he took up the position of Shangzhu State in the Chu State. Uncle, you didn’t reply, and my nephew immediately understood, knowing that you are blaming my uncle, blaming my nephew for forgetting to be above you. There is another Second uncle, I forgot the order of seniority."

After emphasizing that there is Xiang Liang who is more prestigious and has more status under Uncle Xiang, Xiang Kang said plausibly: "But please rest assured, uncle, my nephew has already paid attention to your good intentions, my nephew will definitely He will try his best to lead the army under his command, and deal with the Tyrant Qin army with all his strength. When the second uncle returns, the younger nephew will give the military power with both hands, and ask the second uncle to inherit the title of Wu Xinjun from the eldest father and the official position of Shangzhu State in Chu State, and then Then, under the command of the second uncle, the troops sent out to Guanzhong, and went straight to Xianyang, to avenge the shame of our Chu country."

Uncle Xiang's skin turned into a pig's liver, and he wanted to yell loudly, but he couldn't find the reason for it—no matter how thick-skinned Xiang Bo was, he was too embarrassed to shout that the military power of the Young Marshal Army should be handed over to him, Do you want to be the boss when you come here?So Uncle Xiang could only look at Xiang Kang fiercely, his chest rising and falling like a toad squatting on the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Liang was afraid that Xiang Bo would get angry on the spot, so he quickly changed the subject, and hurriedly said to Xiang Kang: "Young Marshal, I still have a very important question to ask you, and I hope you will not hesitate to ask me about it." Teach me."

Xiang Kang also didn't want to get entangled with Uncle Xiang, so he immediately took over the topic, cupped his hands to Zhang Liang and said, "Uncle Han has said it before, I don't dare to ask for advice, it should be my nephew asking my uncle for advice."

Zhang Liang had already seen Xiang Kang's vigilance towards him, Zhang Liang didn't bother to be polite to Xiang Kang, and just said directly: "Young commander, although you have already captured four counties, the strength in your hands is already enough. It is quite a lot, but the four counties of Tongxu County in Xiahe are located in the plains, and there is no danger to defend everywhere. It can be said that they are surrounded by enemies and have no help. If the Tyrant Qin army just invades along the way, the young commander can deal with it calmly. But if the Tyrant Qin army launched a multi-pronged attack, attacking both front and back, how would you respond?"

"I can't see that this guy still has some clues, but he can actually see this key issue." Xiang Kang's tone in his stomach was so arrogant, but his face was humble, and he asked back: "Dare to ask Uncle Han, do you think my nephew should what to do?"

"I asked you, why did you ask me the other way around?" Zhang Liang laughed.

"My nephew wants to hear Uncle Han's opinion, brainstorming, and then answer uncle's question." Xiang Kang answered very directly, and said in his heart: "Of course I also have to see how much material you have in your stomach. You are just a paper-based Zhao Kuo and Ma Di, why am I talking so much nonsense with you? Wasting my time?"

Forced to helplessness, and at the same time considering his status in the Young Commander in Chief, Zhang Liang could only express what was in his heart, and said, "Nephew, I feel that in your current situation, if you blindly only consider Defending the success and sticking to the four counties that have already been obtained is tantamount to holding on to the cripple and waiting to die. Sooner or later, you will be besieged by the Tyrant Qin army on all sides, and it will be hard to care about it. So in my humble opinion, you must not be satisfied with what you have so far, young commander, you must continue To forge ahead with determination is the best plan.”

"Oh, then Uncle Han, how should my nephew continue to forge ahead?" Xiang Kang asked calmly.

"Young Marshal should know that when you raised your troops against Qin, there was also a man named Chen Sheng who led the army to fight against Qin in Daze Township, Qi County, Sishui County, right?"

Zhang Liang asked back, seeing Xiang Kang nodding, Zhang Liang continued: "I heard that after Chen Sheng raised his troops, he first personally led the troops to capture Qi County, seized the county's money, food, vehicles, horses and weapons, and recruited a large number of troops to quickly expand his power. Then, while leading the army into Chen County, he dispatched his general Ge Ying to lead the troops northward to capture Zhi County, and then captured Feng County, Ku County, Xinyang and other places, and even Xiang County, the fiefdom of your ancestors in the Young Marshal Army, It was also defeated by Chen Sheng. At the same time, every time Chen Sheng's volunteer army took a piece of land, they used up all the money and food in the county, poorly recruited the best men in the county, and continued to expand the team. It is said that the army now has tens of thousands of people. There is no need to be afraid of the soldiers of the Tyrant Qin Commandery, and they have a relatively short and long-term strength with the main force of the Tyrant Qin. Zhuyu is in the front, why doesn't the young commander consider following suit?"

Xiang Kang was greatly disappointed. Zhang Liang, whose alias was Han Liang, immediately underestimated the place. However, considering that the other party was only a native of the late Qin Dynasty, he did not have the prophetic advantage as a time traveler. He also knew that people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had done this in history. None of them came to a good end, so Xiang Kang calmed down and said: "Uncle Han pointed out that it is indeed not wrong for Chen Sheng to do so in the current world situation. But it is a pity that he has too many hidden dangers in doing so, and he will be destroyed sooner or later." problem, it can never last long."

"Zhuzi speaks loudly!" Uncle Xiang next to him finally found an excuse to explode, and immediately roared: "I just won four counties in one district, so I dare not take others seriously! Is Chen Sheng's current territory not as big as yours? Or You don’t have as many soldiers and horses as you? How dare you ignore such a hero?”

"Brother, calm down, and let your nephew finish what he said." Zhang Liang hurriedly persuaded him, and then asked Xiang Kang: "Young commander, you said that Chen Sheng has too many hidden dangers in doing this. What hidden dangers does he have? You said that Chen Shengjue It can’t last long, so what’s the reason? Please enlighten me.”

"Chen Sheng's hidden dangers are too many to count." Xiang Kang didn't bother to pretend to be polite with Zhang Liang, and said lazily: "Everywhere he goes, he recruits all the strong men in the county, exhausts his resources and expands his army crazily. Quantity is not quality. Although the army is expanding rapidly, the army is not uniform and lacks cohesion. When fighting with the wind, it can be unstoppable and unstoppable. Moreover, as long as the enemy is smart enough to use a little bit of alienation, Chen Sheng's army is likely to be torn apart immediately, and they may even turn against each other and attack Chen Sheng in turn."

"Secondly, if Chen Sheng does this, he will lose the support of the people, and he will have nowhere to go in the future." Xiang Kang said with a sneer: "Now is the critical moment of the autumn harvest. He did not consider the livelihood of the villagers in the head of Guizhou in the coming year. At this time, he has the food stored in the county to support the army. It will not be dangerous for a while, but what to do after a long time? There is no food for the people, and he will How can his army fight without food? How can the villagers in Guizhou head who have no food to eat next year not resent him? Without the support of the people, his army is in danger of running out of food, how can he fight like a wolf like a tiger? The main force of Tyrant Qin?"

"As for other hidden dangers, there are more." Xiang Kang continued to hum, and said: "The soldiers have not undergone strict training, do not have enough weapons and armor equipment, and rely on the large number of people to bully the hastily formed Tyranny County Bingjun It is handy, but it will only be doomed to be vulnerable when encountering the real main force of the Qin Dynasty. The generals used have no experience and lack of restraint and control. Either they are unreliable at critical moments, or they will turn against him sooner or later. They will turn against him and Chen Sheng. Seize the city If you don’t pay attention to control, and don’t know how to promote and appoint capable officials to govern the people, it’s easy to get it, and it’s even easier to lose it. How can such an army last long?”

Although he didn't tell Zhang Liang one by one the reasons why Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would inevitably perish quickly, Xiang Kang's lazy and rough words still, to a certain extent, shook Zhang Liang's yearning for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising army. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Young commander is right. These are indeed hidden dangers of Chen Sheng. I just hope he can wake up in time and make up for it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang said again: "But young commander, what Chen Sheng did as a righteous teacher is certainly full of hidden dangers, but if you just keep guarding the four cities, the prospects will also not be optimistic? Regarding the future, are you really a good person? What kind of plan?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Han. Of course, my nephew will not blindly guard the four cities." Xiang Kang replied, "But I just won the four cities. The soldiers and horses have not undergone strict training, the weapons and equipment are not perfect enough, and the crops in the fields are not good enough." I haven't had time to harvest all of them, and I can't use my troops immediately to continue to expand the territory. So now I can only wait, wait until I'm ready, and wait until the world is completely chaotic, and more rebels will rise up against Qin, and then plot to advance."

"Wait for the world to be in total chaos?" Zhang Liang, who is not a traverser, was a little dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "Young commander, do you think the world will definitely be in total chaos, and more rebels will rise up against Qin? Are you sure that the future of the world will definitely change?" Will it develop like this?"

"Of course." Xiang Kang replied more lazily: "The world has suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time. I have raised the flag of righteousness in the four cities of Surabaya, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have led the troops in front, blocking the road outside the pass for the Tyrant Qin army to send troops. Well, how could the survivors of the old people of the Six Kingdoms miss this opportunity? So I am sure that before long, there will be civil upheavals all over the world, and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms will also raise the banner of opposing Qin and restoring the country. At that time, violent Qin's army cares about one thing and loses another, so I can flex my muscles and make progress in all directions."

Not a time traveler, not aware of the great changes that will happen in the world soon, Zhang Liang certainly felt that Xiang Kang's words were unreliable and taken for granted, and he couldn't help but suspect that Xiang Kang was a boastful person.At the same time, in Xiang Kang's words, he inadvertently mentioned the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, a topic that Zhang Liang was extremely concerned about, so Zhang Liang also changed his mouth and asked tentatively: "Young commander, what about the restoration of the old clans of the Six Kingdoms?" Do you intend to support and cooperate with this move? Or do you just want Da Chu's family to dominate, or even let Da Chu replace Tyranny and rule the world?"

If he knew Zhang Liang's real identity and name, then it goes without saying that Xiang Kang would answer this question cautiously and try his best to please Zhang Liang who once fanatically supported the restoration of the Six Kingdoms in history.But there is no way, without knowing Zhang Liang's true identity, Xiang Kang was of course careless when answering this question, and replied: "We will see when the time comes, if the situation is really irresistible, of course I will not object to the restoration of the Six Kingdoms. "

Xiang Kang didn't finish his sentence, and he was quite careful not to expose his firm stance in favor of unification. However, it was an excuse and opportunity for the third uncle to incite the old people of the six countries to oppose him, but this was enough. Just seeing Xiang Kang Zhang Liang was completely disappointed in Xiang Kang's casual attitude on this topic. He was disappointed not only in Xiang Kang's lack of progress, but also in Xiang Kang's taking the future development of the world for granted. Restore the apathy attitude of the Six Nations.So Zhang Liang, who wanted to ask Xiang Kang for advice on many questions, simply closed his mouth and secretly sighed, "It's hard to be a great weapon. It's fine if you don't try to be aggressive and stick to the weak, but you still treat others How can such a person who is so contemptuous by the Five Kingdoms completely forget that being right is more helpful than being unjust is less helpful?"

At this time, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang You and others still hadn't come to the county temple for a banquet, and Zhang Liang, who was disappointed in his heart, suddenly felt a little anxious, so he could only apologize and got up to go to the toilet, but Zhang Liang was draining the water At that time, Uncle Xiang also quietly came to Zhang Liang's side, and asked in a low voice, "Zifang, what do you think?"

Pursing his lips, Zhang Liang gave an objective evaluation, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't blame me, in my opinion, if your nephew is not really talented and knowledgeable, it's just lying and embarrassing Heavy duty. Either one or the other, nothing else."

Of course, Uncle Xiang liked Zhang Liang the most when he didn't think highly of his nephew. He sneered and said, "Just like him, he is still a genius and has outstanding knowledge? Now you understand, if the rebel army he created would not have my command , It will definitely only be a flash in the pan, the loach in the small ditch can't make any waves, and sooner or later it will be wiped out by the Tyrant Qin army."

After bragging about himself, Uncle Xiang said in a low voice: "Zifang, after my nephews and nephews are all here, I'm going to start. At that time, you have to speak for me. When I become this counterattack After Qin Yijun's chief general, he will definitely make you a general, and he will help you recover Korea in the future."

"I'll do my best." Zhang Liang agreed, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, please don't tell your nephews my real identity and name for the time being, and continue to call me by my alias Han Liang. Don't call me by my name."

"Why?" Xiang Bo asked in surprise.

"Of course it's because Xiang Kang's little stick of mud can't support the wall. You are worse than him. Whether this army continues to be led by him or you, it may not last long. I have to leave myself a way out. !"

Zhang Liang snorted coldly in his heart, but said on his mouth: "Of course it is for your own good. It's not like you don't know that I once assassinated the tyrant Yingzheng in Bolangsha. If I was here, the tyrant Qin army would still help your project If the family raises troops against Qin, it is very likely that they will concentrate their forces to attack you first, and then things will be troublesome."

I don't know Zhang Liang's plan, but Xiang Bo nodded immediately and said, "It's better for Zifang to think carefully, okay, I will not disclose your real identity and name for the time being."
