Competing

Chapter 229 Chapter [-]
Yin Xu is very satisfied with Han Xin's mentality now. It seems that his decision to take risks at the beginning was right, and perhaps it is because of this that he has achieved his legendary life.
A treasured knife has been hidden for a long time, and now it is even sharper and unstoppable. It is time for him to rebuild the sky.

"What do you think of the current state of Yue?" Yin Xu asked softly. He wanted to know what Han Xin thought, and maybe he could provide some references!
Han Dao said: "Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng are always on guard against you, the king of Yue. The state of Yue is not optimistic!"

Yin Xu looked up at Han Xin, and said noncommittally, "Well, let's go on!"

Han Xin analyzed: "The State of Yue occupies the land south of the Zhejiang River and east of Peng Lize. , with Yingbu in the west, and Wuzhong with Xiang Yu directly suppressing it, it can be said to be surrounded by enemies on three sides!"

Yin Xu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Han Xin continued: "It seems that the situation is grim, but the actual situation is not so bad. First of all, it is Jiujiang and Hengshan in the west. The king of Yue started in Fanyi, and he has old friendship with Wu Rui and Yingbu. Xiang Yu intends to use the old place of Fanyi It was granted to the King of Yue, so it was meant to provoke, but it will not be a serious problem in the short term. Yingbo and Wu Rui are not idle people, it is impossible for them not to see Xiang Yu's intentions!

In fact, their situation is the same as that of you, King of Yue, and they are always on guard against Xiang Yu, especially Yingbo's Jiujiang Kingdom, which is almost surrounded by Xiang Yu's West Chu Kingdom.
In comparison, the Shanyin area of ​​King Yue is much better. Although it is also close to the Western Chu Kingdom, it is only half of Kuaiji County and Yuzhang next to it.There is a big river separated from the main land of the Western Chu Kingdom, so it is relatively troublesome to dispatch troops and transport grain and grass.Moreover, the half of Kuaiji and Shanyin are separated by the Zhejiang River, so I think there are two more natural dangers.Xiang Yu, who was in Pengcheng, was beyond the reach of the Yue Kingdom. In comparison, he was under much less pressure than Yingbu and Wu Rui! "

Yin Xu nodded lightly, quietly listening to Han Xin's narration!
Han Dao said: "When the Jiujiang Kingdom faced Xiang Yu's strong pressure, Ying Bu might not be able to feel at ease. Most of the time, he had to be wary of Xiang Yu in the north. I'm afraid he didn't have much energy to fight for something, King Yue. The two of you are It’s even more different for those who came from Fanyi together. On the contrary, he and you, the king of Yue, share the same ailments, and are prone to share hatred. At least there will be an unanimous agreement with the outside world!
Moreover, the fiefdom of Jiujiang has similarities with Xiang Yu's Western Chu State, the capital and main territory are both in the north of the great river.The land to the south of the great river is mainly the long and narrow land to the west of Peng Lize. Xiang Yu’s Yuzhang is separated from the northwest corner and Yue Kingdom, and the wide Peng Lize is separated to the south. of.Therefore, Yingbo will never act unwisely, so the threats from these three sides have gone to two sides! "

Yin Xu quite agrees with this point, Yingbo is next to his fief, although Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng deliberately provoke.But with Yingbu's wisdom, he shouldn't be easily fooled. Not to mention the situation, the love of robes that he and I fought together from Panyi, the favor sold to him before Hangu Pass, not to mention knowing how to repay him, At least he won't repay his kindness with revenge!
In history, after Yingbo arrived in the Jiujiang fiefdom, he was not as obedient as before, and the status of the five generals under Xiang Yu's command also existed in name only.During Xiang Yu's crusade against Qi Guotian Rong, he ordered Yingbo to lead his army northward, but what about Yingbo's attitude?It's just that 4000 people were sent to meet the occasion, and I didn't say anything at all.

From this it can be seen that Yingbo did not agree with Xiang Yu, and was very wary, and was still swinging between Chu and Han.As a result, Xiang Yu was furious and ordered Long to capture Jiujiang State and defeat Yingbo in one fell swoop.Judging from these examples, Yingbo will not easily conflict with himself.

As Han Xin said, the west and north will not pose a threat in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

Just listen to Han Xin and continue: "So the main threat of the Yue Kingdom comes from Minyue and Dongou! Dongou and Minyue are both descendants of the Yue King Goujian, and they have always regarded themselves as the orthodox Yue Kingdom, especially the stronger Wuyue. Zhu, this time I joined the Chu army in the battle against Qin, I only wanted to take back the old land of Yue, and I didn’t want to get ahead of you. Both Si Yao and Wu Zhu were worried about this, but now they don’t dare to do anything in Guanzhong. In the future, I'm afraid I won't let it go!"

It is inevitable that Si Yao and Wu Zhuhui will have troubles. At that time, there will be a battle between the Yue Kingdom and Dongou and Minyue. Yin Xu has already been mentally prepared for this!Under the circumstances that Xiang Yu and Yingbo will not interfere with him for the time being, it is not a problem to take care of them with his own strength.

Han Xin continued: "This battle is related to the life and death of Yue, and also to the development of Yue in the future. The King of Yue uses his soldiers like a god, and his soldiers are all experienced and brave. If you want to defeat Wu Zhu and Si Yao, you should No problem! Actually..."

Yin Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked curiously, "Actually what?"

Han Xin explained: "In fact, these seemingly difficult things, if they are operated properly and the advantages and disadvantages are converted, why can't they be used for me? Isn't it a benefit?"

Yin Xu suddenly became interested, and asked: "Tell me!"

Han Xin continued: "Minyue and Dongou are both descendants of the original Yue people who went to the south and merged with the Yue people. The Yue people grew up in the wilderness and forest, and they are stronger and physically stronger than the people in the Central Plains. Well, the battle is also more valiant. If the king of Yue can defeat Wuzhu and Siyao, let Minyue and Dongou surrender, and use the soldiers for his own use... then the king of Yue will have an extra elite army, and the territory will expand a lot! "

If so, it would be the best, and Yin Xu quite agrees with this.The people of Baiyue are physically stronger and braver than others. In the later Ming Dynasty, there were "wolf soldiers" from Guangdong, Guangxi and the area.Thousands of years later, although the Yue people are different from the wolf soldiers of later generations, there are similarities in the same way and the same effect!

Han Xin continued: "In the Baiyue land in the south, Emperor Qin sent 50 troops to conquer it in the past, and they are still stationed there. The central plains are constantly fighting, and they all turn a blind eye. It is said that the coach Ren Xiao is already seriously ill. I am afraid that there will be internal struggles in the transfer of power. If the King of Yue can use it, it will be difficult to use it for his own use, but it can still be done if there is no conflict for the time being!"

South Vietnam has an army of 50, which can be said to be a force capable of affecting the situation in the world, but in the history of the end of Qin, Chu and Han, it has never done much.After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, also took the initiative to surrender to Han Gaozu... If this power can be used for himself or help himself, then it is naturally the best.

But... Yin Xu asked himself that this is very difficult to do, but he only hopes that the South Vietnamese will not hold him back.Yin Xu didn't know that at this time, Li Si, the prime minister of Qin, was going south to Fan and Yu to make plans for himself.Moreover, there were many contradictions within South Vietnam at this time, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of it.Of course, Yin Xu and Han Xin couldn't predict all of this.Later, in the words of Xu Negative, Yin Xu's luck was really good when Zi Qi came from the east!
"And..." Han Xin continued: "It seems that there are many disadvantages now, but it may be your advantage in the future, King Yue. Xiang Yu has a Yuzhang and half of Kuaiji to the south of the general. It is cut off by the great river. If Xiang Yu is caught in the north and cannot open his mobile phone, his control over the two places in the east of the river will also be weakened. Anyway, there will always be a day when the face will be ripped apart. At that time, the King of Yue can act first and occupy In the two places, the territory and strength of the Yue Kingdom will be much stronger. If Fan Yafu steals the chicken, it will not cost you a lot of rice, and it will be cheaper for you, the King of Yue!"

Yin Xu smiled lightly, but Han Xin was thinking long-term, already thinking about how to deal with Xiang Yu.Yin Xu knew very well that he would not and could not conflict with Xiang Yu in a short time.Of course, temporarily does not mean forever, wait until Dongou and Minyue are successfully subdued, hum!He and Xiang Yu are inseparable in appearance, so it's okay to tear up their faces when the time comes.

The enfeoffment of princes does not mean that the world is peaceful, but that conflicts erupt everywhere at any time.Gold and iron horses compete in the world, this is because of the goals and future development directions set for ourselves.Competing for the world, then there is no politeness at all, this is true for everyone!
Han Xin continued: "For Yingbo in the west, you can unite or even annex... Of course, you must have enough strength, the king of Yue, otherwise it will backfire and cause big trouble! Han Xin believes that the future development of the king of Yue is the best It is to unify the south of the general first, and don't go to Jiangbei to compete with the heroes for the time being. By virtue of going to the rich old land of Chu in Jiangdong and accumulating enough strength, no one dares to underestimate you. No matter what form the north is in, the king of Yue can do it with ease, and he can advance Go north to fight for hegemony, retreat can be defended according to the natural danger of the river! Advance and retreat with evidence, calm and unhurried!"

Yin Xu nodded slightly. Han Xin's suggestion was similar to his own, and it was also his plan to seize the South first.The entire Chu-Han war for hegemony is mainly concentrated in the Central Plains along the Dahe River. Let Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fight!The land of the Central Plains is scorched. When wars are raging, the Jiangdong is peaceful. What will the common people do?Maybe the historical migration of northerners to the south will be carried out early and it is unknown!
The most important thing is that I am continuing my strength, while Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are constantly consuming, and then I will have enough capital to compete with them.Competing in the Central Plains, it is not impossible to aspire to the top of the world, and it is not known who will win the game. Yin Xu has full confidence in this!
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, Liu Bang will go out of Bashu as soon as possible, and go out of Qinguan to attack Xiang Yu.Tian Rong alone does not seem to be enough, nor can he get rid of Xiang Yu for too long.Although there are two natural dangers across the Dajiang River and the Zhejiang River, it doesn't mean that he is safe.

If you want to be completely safe, you have to fight on the east and west fronts, and you are too busy to take care of yourself.After returning to Yue State, the importance of Liu Bang is self-evident, which is why Yin Xu formed an alliance with Liu Bang and helped Liu Bang as much as possible.

Yin Xu said: "That being said, what if Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng go their own way and take action against Yue?"

Han Xin shook his head and said, "No, although the Yue Kingdom is close to the Western Chu Kingdom, Xiang Yu will definitely not attack the Yue Kingdom first. This time, Xiang Yu's family dominates and seriously weakens the princes. In fact, it also offended many people. These people are now frightened by Xiang Yu's prestige and strength, dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

But it doesn't mean that it will always be like this. Once Xiang Yu uses troops to the south, Pengcheng in the north will be empty, and there is no guarantee that no one will take the risk.For the sake of the stability of the rear and the capital, Xiang Yu did not dare to be so forthright and bold.

This time Qi State was divided into three, and Tian Rong was the one who weakened the most. Not only was he not crowned king, but he was also driven out of Linzi.With Tian Rong's temperament, he would never let it go, let alone submit obediently. Recently, Qidi will not be peaceful.Pengcheng is close to Qi, and will be threatened at any time, how dare Xiang Yu be careless! You must know that Qi has always been a powerful country, and Tian Rong has a lot of troops. Compared with Xiang Yu, it seems to be slightly inferior, but he can still compete with one foot.If Xiang Yu is not careful, it is possible to be at a disadvantage!If other princes take the opportunity to rise up again, Xiang Yu's life will be even more difficult, so he will not provoke the Yue Kingdom for the time being! "

"Is Qi Guotian alone enough?" Yin Xu asked softly.

Han Xin hesitated a little, and was speechless for a while, Xiang Yu was too powerful.If he fights with Qi State wholeheartedly, no one knows how long Tian Rong can last. If he is defeated early... Will Yin Xu have time to finish Minyue and Dongou in such a short time?

So this is still a bit tricky. It would be great if other princes can take advantage of the momentum. Unfortunately, those princes in the Central Plains seem to lack courage and cowardice.Thinking about the Battle of Julu, when seeing the strength of the Qin army, everyone stood on the sidelines and did not dare to send troops to join the battle, you can see the clues.

Among these people, it is really hard to see who will have the courage to take the lead and lead the princes against Xiang Yu.If Xiang Yu defeated the Qi State, he would be even more powerful, and the next target for the operation would most likely be the State of Yue.

It is absolutely impossible to fight with Xiang Yu now, relying on Yue's only strength, how long can internal and external troubles last.If it was defeated early, wouldn't all the efforts be in vain, as for those beautiful expectations and plans, it would be nothing but nothing.So how to hold back Xiang Yu and win more time for Yue to ease and develop has become an important problem!

Seeing Han Xin's embarrassed expression, Yin Xu reminded: "Actually, there are many dissatisfied princes and Xiang Yu, what is needed is a leader who initiates!"

Han Xin nodded and said: "Yes, this leader must have enough courage and courage to dare to fight against Xiang Yu. But those princes in the Central Plains are as timid as a mouse, and they are all able-bodied. Once the person succeeds, the status and benefits in the future will be infinite. If they maintain the current situation and ignore Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu will eat them one by one step by step. This is to sit and wait for death. They seem to be dying after all. don't know!"

Yin Xu sighed softly: "Isn't that the case, don't count on those people, no one has the guts to be that early bird!"

Han Xin said depressedly: "King Yue, you can fully shoulder this responsibility and have the courage to carry it out. It's just that Yue State is located in the southeast and is far away from most of the princes. The most important person is to clean up the backyard, not to fight against the outside world. King Yue, what you need most now is the fight between the snipe and the clam in the Central Plains, and you will benefit from the fisherman in Jiangdong!"

After a brief silence, Yin Xu said: "Actually, there may not be others... who can be the leader of this initiative!"

Uh...Han Xin looked at Yin Xu in astonishment, a little confused, and asked, "Who is it?"

Yin Xu replied: "Liu Bang, King of Han!"

"Liu Bang?" Apparently Han Xin didn't take him into consideration, and he was a little surprised to hear what Yin Xu said.Is Liu Banghui the right candidate?Han Xin was full of doubts about this.But after thinking about it, Liu Bang seems to have the conditions just from the perspective of the personal qualities of the princes and kings.

Why do you say that?Although Liu Bang is a bit helpless, it is not easy to develop from a pavilion chief in Surabaya to today's status and strength, which shows that Liu Bang is extraordinary.He entered Guanzhong first but was deprived of it by Xiang Yu, and the title of King of Guanzhong disappeared. In order to survive and preserve his power at the Hongmen Banquet, Han Xin seemed to be able to find some resonance and similarities in this regard!

I think back when he was in Huaiyin, he had great ambitions but was not recognized for his talents, and he was stared at all the time.He was also humiliated by his crotch for this. When a person's dignity was trampled on, he really wanted to die, but Han Xin held back.In order to be able to display the ambition in my heart, and to be able to stand out one day in the future and become a blockbuster.Soaring into the sky, for his beloved woman to live a good life, the huge humiliation can only be buried in his heart silently.

Traveling abroad, begging for food from drifting mothers when hungry, Han Xin has experienced such seemingly humble and humiliating things.The purpose is to leave a useful body, so that one day the long-cherished wish can be fulfilled.So Liu Bang admired Han Xin quite a bit on one point.

Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Can, Zhou Bo, Li Shiqi and many other celebrities were willing to assist their subordinates, which also proved that this master is good, at least enough to convince these people and see hope.Therefore, Liu Bang can be regarded as a promising master, much better than many princes and kings in the Central Plains!

Furthermore, Xiang Yu seized the land in Guanzhong that should have belonged to him. Liu Bang hated him deeply, and had sufficient reasons and motives to turn against Xiang Yu.But from these two points, Liu Bang seems to have the conditions to shoulder the initiator and leader of the anti-Chu.

But Liu Bang's fiefdom is in Bashu, and the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. These words are not for nothing.There is only one plank road on the way out of Bashu.The king of Sanqin is guarding the outside, especially Zhang Han, who is one of the most famous generals in the world. How can Liu Bang break through Zhang Han's defense line?If you can't get out, you can only be trapped between the mountains and rivers of Bashu. How can you initiate an action against Xiang Yu?

Han Xin was very puzzled, why Yin Xu persuaded Liu Bang to come, is there any other way out of Bashu?I was confused for a while!

Seeing Han Xin's expression, Yin Xu knew what he was wondering about, so he was anxious to explain first, but said: "If Liu Bang can surprise him and walk out of Bashu, is it possible for him?"

Han Xin thought for a while, and said: "If this is the case, you can surprise Zhang Han by surprise. As long as you operate well and move troops properly, you can successfully defeat Zhang Han and seize Guanzhong. A base with logistical supplies is common, and a large number of soldiers and food and grass can be continuously supplied. At that time, it is only necessary to go east to Hangu Pass and march according to the eastward route of Qin State in the past.

The princes and kings of the Central Plains were already dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang will be the vanguard to lead the army forward.I believe that there are not a few people who take advantage of the momentum and join in speculation.Of course, even if some people are unwilling, they will be forcibly coerced by Liu Bang, which will form a powerful force, enough to fight against Xiang Yu!

But there are also some problems. If the army can be commanded by a promising general, with proper command and unified military orders, it is not impossible to defeat Xiang Yu.But if the armies of various countries are mixed together, the command is not effective, and it is difficult to coordinate operations. Not only will they not be able to win, but they may be defeated because of the large number of people! "

Yin Xu secretly exclaimed in his heart: After all, it is Han Xin. It is worthy of Han Xin to order as many soldiers as possible. The generation of soldiers really lives up to their reputation!In history, after Liu Bang left Qinguan, he coerced the princes and kings of various countries and entered Pengcheng with a total of 56 troops.

As Han Xin said, it was a mess and the command was not effective. As a result, Xiang Yu smashed it with [-] cavalry.As a result, there were so many damages that the Sui River stopped flowing and was stained red with blood.Liu Bang himself also threw away his helmet and armor, and his wife, children and family members were arrested as soon as possible, and he finally escaped back to Xingyang to save his life!

Of course, these are all things to say, for the current plan, how Liu Bang gets out of Shu is the key!

Han Xin was very curious about this, and wondered, "Is there really another way out of Shu?"

Yin Xu said with a smile: "Bashu has many mountains, and there are many valleys and dense paths in the mountains. Maybe there are one or two that can pass through Guanzhong and Bashu!"

Han Xin looked at Yin Xu in astonishment. Did Yin Xu know what he said?
Yin Xu did not answer Han Xin immediately, but instead asked, "I don't know what your future plans are?"

Han Xin was slightly startled, bowed his head and said, "If the King of Yue doesn't dislike him, Han Xinyuan will follow his subordinates to conquer Minyue and Dongou!"

"Are you really willing to serve me? Always loyal?" Yin Xu leaned closer, his voice was not loud, but he revealed unusual power!Ever since he became the king of Yue, successfully competed in the world, and aspired to the ambition of the Central Plains, Yin Xu's demeanor has undergone many changes.The power revealed faintly may be the aura of the king in the legend!

After a brief silence, Han Xin bowed in front of Yin Xu and said in a low voice, "Han Xin is willing to swear allegiance to the King of Yue to the death!"

Yin Xu asked: "Be loyal to me, why?"

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Firstly, the king of Yue has enough ability and charm to convince Han Xin, and secondly, the future of the king of Yue is limitless. Han Xin is sure to follow the king of Yue to achieve a great career, crack the earth and seal the king, and stand out!"

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Okay, good, good!" The three good words came out continuously, and there were no other words. Perhaps King Yue felt that there were no other words to express his mood at the moment!

Yin Xu asked: "Since that's the case, are you willing to carry out my order to the letter?"

Han Xin nodded and said: "Only the king of Yue obeys!"

"Okay!" Yin Xu said: "Back to the topic just now, are you curious, is there any other way out of Bashu? I can tell you for sure, there is!"

The clues can already be seen from Yin Xu's just words, so Han Xin is not too surprised, just curious, how did Yin Xu know?As we all know, Yin Xu was born in Fanyi in the south. Could it be that Liu Bang told him?

Yin Xu said: "Even if Liu Bang knows this way and barely leaves Bashu, he may not be Zhang Han's opponent, let alone go out to fight Xiang Yu. Do you know why? Because Liu Bang lacks a handsome man!"

"Handsome?" Han Xin muttered to himself!
Yin Xu nodded and said: "That's right, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, and Fan Kuai are all first-class generals in the world, and they can lead tens of thousands of soldiers to fight. But commanding the whole army to fight together and being a good commander is a bit difficult." No, there is no such person around Liu Bang at present! Therefore, even if you know this secret path out of Bashu, it will not be of great use!"

Han Xin seemed to think of something, and a puzzled look appeared on the corner of his brow!
Yin Xu said: "Before the Hongmen banquet, the widow in Xin'an persuaded Xiang Yu not to kill and surrender, so he suppressed and became suspicious. Liu Bang was resented by Xiang Yu because he entered the pass first. The widow and Liu Bang have the same disease, as you said, We have a common enemy!"

"So, the King of Yue and the King of Han have formed an alliance!" Han Xin answered Yin Xu's words as soon as the words fell to the ground.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "That's right! The significance of forming an alliance with Liu Bang is to let him raise troops as soon as possible to hold Xiang Yu down, and buy us time to clean up Dongou and Minyue. It's a pity that Liu Bang has been suffering from the lack of a handsome man to lead his army out of Bashu !So... the widow agreed to lend him one first!"

"Borrow someone..." Han Xin asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Far in the sky, right in front of you!"

Han Xin said in amazement: "What does King Yue mean, let me help Liu Bang get out of Bashu?"

Yin Xu nodded and said, "That's right, it's really overkill for you to deal with Dongou and Minyue!"

Han Xin questioned: "Does the king of Yue think that I am better than Zhou Bo and Cao Shen?"

"Yes!" Yin Xu nodded firmly, and said, "You are much better than them! I believe that with your talents, you can become the most powerful commander in the world! I want to keep you by my side, but Yue Guo The situation is critical, and I have no choice but to do it! This is also a good opportunity to become famous in the world, I believe you will be able to make a big splash. This move is not for him, Liu Bang, but for you, for the country of Yue, and for me, Yin Xu!"

Han Xin asked back: "Will Liu Bang trust me?"

"He has no choice!"

Han Xin was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, when can I leave Liu Bang and return to Yue?"

Yin Xu said: "When you leave Bashu, decide the Three Qin Dynasty, and leave Hangu Pass, when the army marches east!"

Han Xin cupped his hands and said: "I would like to follow the military order of the King of Yue and help Liu Bang leave Bashu for the sake of the Kingdom of Yue. I, Han Xin, have always been a subject of the King of Yue!"

"Good! Good! Let me tell you the way out of Bashu...and..."

Yin Xu explained carefully, and Han Xin left.Looking at Han Xin's leaving back, Yin Xu's mood was extremely complicated.Lend Liu Bang the bravest and handsome talent around him, what will happen in the future?Is my good intentions right or wrong?
