Competing

Chapter 473
Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Yes, deal with us Han!"

Liu Bang is now very concerned about Yin Xu's every move, and there is some inexplicable fear and worry in his heart, because when he heard Zhang Liang say this, he felt a little nervous involuntarily, and he couldn't even explain why.

Zhang Liang's heart moved, if he gave the King of Han more time for these things, he would naturally be able to guess the reason with his ingenuity.Now the King of Han is obviously a little too anxious. Zhang Liang knows that the matter is important, so he can only explain the matter as soon as possible, even if it causes some negative emotions to the King of Han.

Zhang Liang explained: "King of Han, after the Yue Kingdom moved its capital to Hongdu, it was actually Yin Xu who planned the next step to go north. The strength of the Yue Kingdom continued to expand, and Yin Xu's ambition must be in the world, so he wanted to go north. Conquering the world is also completely reasonable. Moving the capital to Hongdu can further threaten Huainan in the Western Chu Kingdom, and the navy of the Yue Kingdom is strong, which has been reflected in the battle against the Linjiang Kingdom this time.

The land between Linjiang State and Han State has Mian River waterways. If Yin Xu wants to have any ideas about Han State in the future, he can go northward along the river directly from Hongdu, which is a very serious situation.His previous expedition to the west was to occupy Linjiang State, so that he could threaten our Han State and Western Chu State at the same time, and then sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits of fishermen.In fact, moving the capital itself has such a purpose. "

Liu Bang has already fully understood the things behind this incident, and he is considered to be a person who understands Yin Xu's ambitions in this world.How can the land of the south of the Yangtze River be satisfied?Yin Xu's future goal must be to go north to compete in the Central Plains, and now these are the preparations.Perhaps the previous series of actions were just a process of Yue's own rise, but it is completely different now.

Yin Xu's western expedition to Linjiang has already started his plan for foreign wars, and the move of the capital shows that his plan to compete in the world has officially started.Suddenly Han was facing such a powerful enemy, and Liu Bang was in a bad mood.In the past, the Yue Kingdom did not attract much attention in the land of Jiangdong, because as long as Xiang Yu was defeated, the world could be owned, but now it seems...

Thinking of many of the ins and outs that were related to Yin Xu's arrangements, could it be that all of this was within his expectations?Yin Xu has saved his life several times, and he was a little grateful at the beginning, but now it seems that Yin Xu's purpose for saving him is very far-reaching.He even had a feeling that he was just a pawn of Yin Xu, a pawn for him to deal with Xiang Yu and contain the Western Chu Kingdom.

Liu Bang couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart, but there was some helplessness and fear in his anger. This Yin Xu was really terrible.He will definitely not be able to be his pawn, Liu Bang shook his head violently in his heart, although the Yue Kingdom is now fierce, but the strength of our Han Kingdom is not small, what will happen in the future is still unknown?I, Liu Bang, will compete with you, Xiang Yu, and you, Yin Xu, to see who is the final king?
Seeing Liu Bang's face turning red and then pale, Zhang Liang and Li Shiqi couldn't help worrying, what happened to the King of Han?After all, the State of Yue is still attacking the State of Han. The King of Han is not so nervous, is he?
"King of Han, what's the matter with you? But you don't feel well, do you need to call a doctor?" Li Shiqi hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help asking with concern.

Only then did Liu Bang realize that he had lost his composure, and then he shook his head and said, "It's all right, I'm all right!"

Immediately, his eyes fell on Zhang Liang again, and he asked: "Mr. Zifang, according to the current situation, what should we do? By the way, how is the construction of Xiangyang City?" Liu Bang asked suddenly I want to order to build a city in the middle of the Mian River to guard against the Yue people.

Zhang Liang replied: "General Liu Jia is already building it as soon as possible, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the year. The King of Han does not need to worry. The State of Yue is mainly dealing with internal affairs during this period, and there should be no changes for the time being, so i our time adequate."

Liu Bang then nodded: "Aside from Xiang/Yangcheng, what else do we need to do?"

Liu Bang suddenly felt that he was inexplicably flustered today. This has never happened before, and he must calm down now...

As a senior strategist, Zhang Liang maintained a steady mind at all times, and had a relatively thorough and clear view of things.As early as when he received the news, he had already started to think about the cause and effect behind each news, as well as some hidden things in it, and make an analysis at the same time. It is best to want a clear countermeasure and accept Hanwang's inquiries at any time.

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Zhang Liang replied: "King of Han, although the Vietnamese army will not take any action against us now, the threat does exist. Bashu and Nanjun are inevitable. Liu Jia is in Xiangyang In addition to building city defenses, the land of Bashu also needs to be prepared. After all, Bashu is rich, it is our important grain production base, and it is connected to the security of Guanzhong. I suggest that Lu Wan be stationed in Yiling to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking Bashu! "

Liu Bang stabilized his mind. After a little meditation, he nodded and said: "Well, although the Vietnamese army will not make any big moves in a short time, we still need to be prepared, so let's do this!"

Zhang Liang immediately said: "King of Han, in fact, whether the Yue army will take the initiative to attack us depends on the outcome of the battle between Chu and Han. As I said before, the Yue army will attack Huainan when Chu is strong, and the Yue army will attack Huainan when Han is strong." Go out of Jiangling, attack Mianshui, and enter Bashu!"

Liu Bang smiled wryly and shook his head, feeling very helpless about this. After the main war in the world has become Chu and Han, the rest is to be a bystander.Of course, there is nothing you can do if you are unfortunately involved, but those with superior geographical location, as long as they operate well, can benefit from it. Yin Xu is the most successful person.

Knowing that people think so, but there is no way, this is probably the greatest helplessness in life!
Li Shiqi said: "King of Han, there is a rumor. Although we cannot confirm its authenticity, we still need to pay enough attention to it."

"What news?" Liu Bang asked, and now any clues cannot be easily let go.

Li Shiqi said: "There are rumors that the reason why Yingbo is willing to go to Jiangdong is because Yin Xu sent troops to rescue Yingbo's family. It is also said that Yingbo's wife and children fled to Hengshan at that time, but they were killed by the Chu army. Discovered and intercepted, unexpectedly Yue cavalry rushed out and rescued Yingbo's family.

The most amazing thing is that at that time, the Vietnamese army won a complete victory with one thousand against the five thousand Chu army. It is rumored that the Vietnamese cavalry is very capable and very powerful.At that time, the Chu army lost more than 2000 people because of this, and the battle was miserable! "

"Such a disparity in awareness, such an astonishing result!" Liu Bang said lightly, he has become accustomed to being shocked by the things in the Yue Kingdom, and now Liu Bang is very calm.

Li Shiqi said: "But these are just rumors, no one knows the truth of the matter!"

Liu Bang shook his head: "Victorious with less, this is Yin Xu's usual behavior. Don't forget that he used a thousand cavalry to defeat the J army of Dongou with a thousand cavalry. It is true that his Yue cavalry is powerful, but I didn't expect it It will reach such an extent. I just thought that the cavalry would have such a magical effect on the infantry. I didn't expect that the cavalry in the Yue Kingdom would still be so powerful against the cavalry..."

Zhang Liang also heard the news, and believed it [-]% of the time. Now that Liu Bang said so, it seems that there is not much doubt about this matter itself.

Li Shiqi said: "It's just that some of the things are a little strange. If it's true, it's impossible for the West Chu Kingdom to suffer such losses and blows, so it's impossible not to have no reaction? But now I haven't heard anything about the relationship between the West Chu Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom. Is there anything unpleasant about the room?"

From Li Shiqi's point of view, this was an unreasonable place, which made him feel very strange.

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, then shook his head lightly and said: "That's not the case. Xiang Yu will definitely be very angry because of this matter. Presumably he is afraid of us, so he doesn't dare to embarrass the Yue Kingdom. Fortunately, Yin Xu has a good sense of proportion. The news said that Yingbo's family members were picked up, and it didn't hurt the face of the Western Chu Kingdom too much, so Xiang Yu had the possibility of forbearance.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, Xiang Yu's temper is much better than before. It seems that Yin Xu is also a headache for the Overlord of Western Chu! "

This time Liu Bang realized that there was another person in Pengcheng who had a similar experience with him.

Li Shiqi sighed: "It's a pity, if Chu and Yue fight, it will be fine!"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Impossible, Xiang Yu has always regarded us as the biggest enemy. Yin Xu has always controlled himself to the south of the river, and has not endangered the foundation of the Western Chu Kingdom, so Xiang Yu will not easily start a war with him. Yin Xu is It is because of this point that I dare to take such a risk in Yingbo. But now, the seeds of discord between Yue and Chu have been planted. In the future, the conflict between them may be far greater than ours, so this It's a good thing for me!"

Liu Bang nodded, and then said: "Compared to this, I am more concerned about the combat power of the Yue cavalry. We suffered a lot from the cavalry in the battle of Pengcheng. Although we have been organizing and developing the cavalry, there has been no major issue. The improvement is still a lot worse than that of the Western Chu Kingdom. I didn’t expect the cavalry of the Yue Kingdom to be so powerful. If we can..."

Zhang Liangdao: "I think these are all the secrets of the Vietnamese army. It's not easy to get them, but I have a suggestion, you can consider placing some spies in the country of Yue, and find a way to find out such news. Now people from the north are constantly going south to Jiangdong, Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yue Kingdom moving its capital, sneaking into Hongdu City first, maybe it will be of great use!"

Liu Bang was already in front of him, nodded and said: "This idea is very good!"

Li Shiqi said: "It is necessary to install spies, but for the matter of the cavalry, we must first verify the authenticity of the rumors!"

Just when Mr. Guangye was wondering, as a person returned to Xingyang, the news was verified...
