Competing

Chapter 507 Chapter [-] Using Soldiers in Bashu
"By the way, what happened to the war in the Central Plains?" Yin Xu immediately asked about it, and now Liu Bang still plays a big role.Although the Han army has achieved impressive results in the north of the great river, it seems to be a moment of glory from the situation.But in essence, the Xingyang area of ​​the Central Plains is crucial.

If Xiang Yu breaks through the defense line around Xingyang, and the army directly reaches Hangu Pass, it will undoubtedly separate the Han army's current territories.The Han army could not be united as one, and was no match for the Chu army at all.

Under the current situation, the State of Yue still needs the Han army to contain Xiang Yu.Of course, I don't want the Han army to be defeated suddenly, nor do I want the Han army to be too strong.The key lies in how to check and balance. Yin Xu has always hoped to find a balance point for this, and he has done a good job!
Su An said: "Chenggao has fallen, Xiang Yu's army has already threatened Xingyang, but Han Xin has gone back, I am afraid that Xiang Yu will not be able to capture Xingyang in a short time. Peng Yue, who retreated to Waihuang and Daliang, was ordered by Liu Bang, the king of Han He was ordered to attack the city of Western Chu from behind, and at the same time destroy the food roads of the Chu army.

The army of Western Chu was deeply hurt by it, and Xiang Yu was also furious. In desperation, he had to lead his army back to defend and deal with Peng Yue.Although Cheng Gao is still in the hands of the Western Chu army, but after a long time, I am afraid that the Han army will still take it back. "

Peng Yue scratched Chu, Yin Xu sighed softly, Liu Bang is really lucky, there are too many people helping him right now.Xiang Yu seems to be powerful, but in essence, the current Western Chu Kingdom is not as good as before.Han is stronger than Chu, this is Yin Xu's conclusion on the current situation of Chu and Han.

If this situation is blindly allowed to develop, Han will become too powerful after a long time, which is not a good thing for Yue.Now that the army of the Western Chu State has retreated and Cheng Gao will be taken back by the Han army in a short time, is it time to start to check and balance and suppress the Han State?
Yin Xu immediately ordered: "Call all the important officials to come to the palace to discuss matters!"

After receiving the edict from the King of Yue, all the important ministers came to the royal study room of the palace, where the latest major policies and military actions of the Yue Kingdom were made.

"My dear friends, the situation in the north is just like this!" Yin Xu first explained the specific situation in the north to the courtiers, and then asked: "Although Han has suffered the defeat of Chenggao, it has not hurt the root cause. Han Xin's great victory in Zhaodi and Peng Yue's help made the situation very good.

If things go on like this, the situation will be unfavorable to Western Chu, and it will be unfavorable to us after a long time.According to our established strategy, it is to strive for a state where Chu and Han are evenly matched and at the expense of each other.So now, should we consider how to check and balance or suppress Han? "

"It's time. According to the situation of the princes in Hebei, Yan and Liaodong are bound to fall into the hands of the Han army. In this way, the entire north from the sea to Longxi, Guanzhong, Bashu, and Heluo in the Central Plains are all Under the control of the Han army. The power of the Han country is indeed a bit too strong.

On the other hand, the situation in the Western Chu State is not optimistic. If the Western Chu State is at a disadvantage or loses, we will be under great pressure.Therefore, it is necessary to suppress Han and strengthen our own strength. "

"Do you all think so?" Yin Xu asked softly.

"Yes, Han is developing too fast now, and we must speed up the pace." All the ministers agreed with this.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "I think so too. The northern front of the Han army has achieved fruitful results. The climate in our south is mild and the water and soil are more fertile. Naturally, the results should be better!"

"Yeah! Liu Bang must be very happy these days, it's time to pour cold water on him to wake him up!" Everyone said with a smile!

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Okay, since everyone thinks so, then this matter is settled like this, suppress Liu Bang! But where does this suppression start? How should we act specifically, and I would like to ask you all to discuss it carefully." It is."

"The purpose of our army's occupation of Linjiang is to contain and suppress Han, so this battle is naturally on the side of General Pu Jun, who sent troops from Linjiang! It's just that the direction of the troops is west or north?" Gao Yidao Express your own opinion!
Linjiang County is currently stationed by Pu Jun's [-] troops. From the perspective of terrain conditions, to the west is Bashu, the birthplace of the Han Dynasty; Guanzhong.

Yin Xu nodded and said, "That's right, should we go westward along the Dajiang River, or go northward along the Mian River?"

This is a very substantive problem currently facing the country of Yue. The direction of march is related to the next plan, almost like a national policy!
Chen Pingdao: "Bashu is the land of abundance, and it is the place where Liu Bang made his fortune. That's all. The most important thing is that Bashu has not been disturbed, and the land is fertile. It is a very important source of food and materials for Liu Bang. If The capture of Bashu undoubtedly cut off a large part of Liu Bang's financial resources and food!"

"That's right! From a defensive point of view, taking down Bashu is also very important. If the Han army goes south from Bashu and goes straight down the river, it will be condescending and not very beneficial to our army. Therefore, taking Bashu earlier will put the whole All the great river basins in the south became the land of Yue State." Zhang Han said.

Li Sidao: "The situation in the Mianshui area is much more complicated than that in Bashu, so it is not only the junction of the Han Kingdom and us, but also the Western Chu Kingdom. It can be said that it is the junction of the Three Kingdoms. The whole body. The situation is too complicated, and it is not convenient to use troops casually. Even if it is defeated, it will take a lot of effort to defend it. Presumably, Bashu claims to be one side, and it will be much easier to defend it!"

Wei Liao also said: "Yes, Liu Bang was on guard against us, he let Liu Jia build Xiang/Yang City in the middle of Mian River" to guard against us.It is not easy to easily capture, on the contrary, Bashu's military defense is much more empty.It must be easier to capture, so I will attack Bashu first now! "

Many important ministers agreed, that is to use troops against Bashu first and unify the south!The same is true of the basic opinions in Yin Xu's heart. What's even more rare is that the monarch and his ministers are all of one mind, and they all think of going together.

Zhang Han continued: "What's more, there is Yun Qingshan, who has already gone to get in touch with the Qin family in Bashu. If we can get the support of the Qin family, it will be easier for us to win Bashu."

Chen Pingdao: "Yes, judging from all aspects of the situation, it is a good choice to enter Bashu now!"

Yin Xu nodded lightly and said: "Well, since that's the case, send a message to Pu Jun to make him ready. When everything is well planned, use troops against Bashu immediately!"
