Competing

Chapter 395 Canonized as King of Liang?

Xiao He said: "Since this is the case, it is necessary to send someone to report to the King of Han. Such a major matter still needs to be decided by him."

"It's not just a report, it's necessary to state your interests to the King of Han, and discuss the decision with the King of Han. So you can't send ordinary envoys there, it's better... It might be much better if Mr. Zhang Liang goes there in person, now by the King of Han's side. Most of them are military generals, but there is just a lack of someone who can give advice." Han Dao expressed his opinion.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and said, "Alright, then I'll go there! Prime Minister Xiao and Marshal Han, you stay in Guanzhong, continue to raise food and recruit new soldiers, and you must ensure follow-up support."

Xiao He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Xiao He will definitely go all out!"

Han Xin reminded: "Don't be in a hurry when transporting grain and grass. I suggest that the front-line army should have enough grain and grass, and don't transport too much. Otherwise, once Xiang Yu's army counterattacks and the King of Han returns to the army, a lot of grain and grass will be wasted for no reason. You can first Transport the grain and grass to Xingyang, and adjust according to the situation."

Xiao He nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter. I will trouble Marshal Han with regard to conscription and training."

Han Xin shook his head and said, "Those who are able will have to work harder. Prime Minister Xiao should work hard on this matter. I want to go out for a while."

Both Xiao He and Zhang Liang were startled, and looked at Han Xin suspiciously.

Han Xin smiled lightly: "I have been away from home for several years, I want to go back to Huaiyin to have a look!"

Both Xiao He and Zhang Liang felt strange, Han Xin was from Yin Xu's side, and now he is depressed in the country of Han.At this time, he chose to go south and return to Huaiyin. Huaiyin is on the edge of the Huaihe River, not far from the Jiangdong Yue Kingdom. Could it be that Han Xin moved his mind to return to the Yue Kingdom?
Letting such a talent go casually is a great loss to Han, and it may be a huge disaster one day in the future.Now that Liu Bang is not here, Xiao He wonders if he should let Han Xin go?If Han Xin is gone forever, how should he explain to the King of Han?
Looking at the eyes of Xiao He and Zhang Liang, Han Xin naturally knew what they were thinking, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I have already made it very clear in Bashu, the King of Han has kindness to me, so I should do my best to repay it. It's just that my family (Jia) is still in Huaiyin, I'm worried about it, I can't feel at ease, and there are still some things to deal with, so I want to go through this. As for Jiangdong, the climate there is too humid. Habit……"

When Zhang Liang thought about it, Han Xin had made it clear that he was returning to Huaiyin and would never go to Jiangdong.He had reason to believe this, guessing that when Yue Wang Yinxu sent Han Xin out, he had already thought that Han Xin would not come back to him again.In fact, even if Han Xin goes back now, Yin Xu may not use him at ease?For Han Xin, the best place to show his talents and pursue his future is the Han Kingdom.

Besides, if he really wants to leave, what's the point of forcing him to stay?What's the use of being in the Han camp with your mind on Yue?Do you want to be imprisoned like this for the rest of your life?Or just kill it?It is better to take this opportunity to test Han Xin's mind, so that he can feel at ease in the future.

Zhang Liang immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, this time is just free, so Marshal Han can go home and visit his relatives!"

Seeing that Zhang Liang agreed, Xiao He had nothing to hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The three heroes in the early Han Dynasty had a clear division of labor, determined their own affairs, and then performed their duties.Xiao He was busy in Guanzhong, while Zhang Liang and Han Xin hurried out of Hangu Pass, one headed east to Daliang, and the other turned south to Huaiyin!

……

Liu Bang led the army to break through quickly, and without much effort, he directly arrived at the old place of Wei, which now belongs to the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom.That is to say, the Han army's eastward expedition has successfully invaded the territory of Western Chu, and Xiang Yu is still on the border of Qi and Chu in the northeast.

Daliang, beside the big river and the chasm, was originally the capital of Wei State.After the enfeoffment of Guanzhong, the king of Wei took over the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the capital was moved to Pingyang, leaving Daliang free.Although it is no longer the capital city, Daliang is a big city after all. It is the place where the Central Plains travels from south to north, and must pass through when conquering from east to west. It has extraordinary significance.

For the Western Chu Kingdom, it is a big city in the west and a wedge into the Central Plains.This was supposed to be a heavily guarded fortress, but now it is defenseless.The main force of the Western Chu State is located on the border of Qi and Chu in the northeast, and the west is empty.

When Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, led an army of 56 to kill him, the Western Chu army temporarily gave up a large number of troops and withdrew the army to Pengcheng.After all, that is their capital, and there is no room for loss.

Under such circumstances, it didn't take much effort to conquer the beam.As the news spread, the army immediately cheered in unison, and the momentum of the coalition of princes headed by the Han army also reached its peak.

Fan Kuai excitedly walked into the tent of the Chinese army, excitedly said: "Daliang has been taken down, and now we have taken over the city."

All the princes were very excited. It must be the biggest victory along the way, and it is quite a milestone.But there was only one person who was not so happy, but a little sour, and that was Wang Bao of the Western Wei Dynasty.This place originally belonged to his ancestors, and it should have belonged to his capital.

Naihe was taken away by Xiang Yusheng in this way, although now he has the opportunity to enter this city again, but his master is still not himself.This feeling is really uncomfortable, and Wei Bao's heart is very heavy.

At this moment, Liu Bang's reputation can be said to have reached a new height, and the next target is Pengcheng, the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom.

That night, singing and dancing continued in the big tent of the coalition forces, and there was a feast to celebrate.General Zhou Bo hurried in and whispered a few words in Liu Bang's ear. Liu Bang's face became a little dignified, and then he smiled and said, "Everyone, please continue to drink, and you will come when you go."

Everyone didn't pay much attention to this detail, but Wei Wangbao, who was a little depressed, noticed it, wondering what happened?
After Liu Bang got rid of the big tent, he asked, "Where is Mr. Zifang?"

"Go back to the King of Han, and wait for the King of Han in the king's tent, my wife is here to entertain you!" Zhou Bo replied.

Liu Bang couldn't help frowning, what is Zhang Liang doing?After arriving, I hurriedly asked myself to meet alone, and did not accept the Chinese army tent.Could it be because of consideration for Han Wangcheng?A smug smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bang's mouth. With his current status and strength, there is no need to take them into consideration.

"Zifang, you are finally here!" Upon entering the tent, Liu Bang was very enthusiastic when he found Zhang Liang sitting next to him.

Seeing Liu Bang again, Zhang Liang hurriedly got up and saluted: "Meet the King of Han!"

"You don't need to be polite, Zifang. I didn't see you when I passed by Korea. Where have you been?" Liu Bang sat down on the main seat.Both Lu Zhi and Zhou Bo withdrew first.

Zhang Liangdao: "I went to Guanzhong first, and came from Xianyang!"

"Oh?" Liu Bang rolled his eyes and asked, "You are in such a hurry to see the widow alone, but what's the important thing?"

Zhang Liang said bluntly: "King of Han, I met Xiao He and Han Xin in Guanzhong, and we all thought that the current situation was not good for us, so I came here in a hurry to discuss important matters with the King of Han."

Liu Bang had a thought: "We have won a lot today, and the army is pointing directly at Pengcheng. How can it be against us?"

Zhang Liang said indifferently: "King of Han, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this is the real crisis! The soldiers of the three armies were all very excited when they took the girders today, they are already a little proud and arrogant... As for Pengcheng, it has not yet been guarded by Peng Yue, so it can be taken easily come down?"

Liu Bang's heart skipped a beat, Zhang Liang said that the three armies were arrogant, so why not himself?Speaking of Pengcheng... Liu Bang said: "I have an army of 40, and Peng Yue has only tens of thousands of soldiers. How can I resist the attack of the army?"

Zhang Liangdao: "If Pengcheng cannot be attacked for a long time, what if Xiang Yu leads his army back to help?"

"I'm not afraid of that. I have an army of 40 under my command. Why should I be afraid of Xiang Yu?" Liu Bang said lightly, but he was full of confidence.

Zhang Liang sighed, "Naturally the king of Han is not afraid, nor is the Han army, but what about the other princes and their soldiers?"

When he asked the key point in one sentence, Liu Bang clearly realized that half of the 40 troops belonged to the princes of the Central Plains.

"The King of Han...if they quit before the battle...the consequences will be very unfavorable to us..." Zhang Liang then told Liu Bang the results and worries he had discussed with Han Xin and Xiao He.

After Liu Bang listened, he felt a little heavy.Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang are undoubtedly the three most resourceful people under his command, and the three most dependent courtiers. Now they all agree that this matter is dangerous.This makes you have to pay attention!After a little thought, what Zhang Liang said was not unreasonable.

I am a little afraid of Xiang Yu, let alone those princes?In case such serious consequences really happened... Liu Bang felt that these days of good times made him a little bit smug.Zhang Liang's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face, making him clearly realize that the reality is somewhat cruel.

"Then how to deal with it?" Liu Bang knew that Zhang Liang could come to see him at this time, and the three of them must already have a countermeasure.

Zhang Liangdao: "The first one is to spread Xiang Yu's crime of killing Emperor Yi in a more prosperous world, so as to gain the support of the righteousness of the world."

Liu Bang nodded lightly. When he first sent troops, he mourned Emperor Yi, but because the march was too fast, the propaganda was not in place.After Zhang Liang said so, we must pay attention to it!

"Also... if we can persuade Peng Yue to surrender and take Pengcheng without bloodshed, relying on the tall city of Pengcheng, even if Xiang Yu returns to help, we can deal with it calmly."

"It's so good, it's just that this Peng Yue... When the widow went west, he wanted to recruit him, but at that time he rejected the widow..."

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "At this time and at that time, the situation is in front of us, as long as the king offers a sufficient price, he may not refuse, for example..."

Liu Bang exclaimed: "What, give him the beam? Make him the king of Liang?"
