Competing

Chapter 510 Bashu Qin Family

Hearing his grandfather's affirmative answer, Qin Nan was a little surprised. Since he was a child, he had never seen his grandfather be so sure about anything, even a little decisive, so he was a little surprised!
Qin Nan wondered: "Grandpa, since you are so optimistic about the Yue Kingdom, why don't you just promise Yun Qingshan and the King of Yue to support you?"

Qin Han gently shook his head and said: "I am optimistic about the Yue Kingdom, but whether the Yue Kingdom has the ability or not depends on them to do it themselves. We promise that if they enter Bashu smoothly, we will help them stabilize the situation. If there is It is relatively easy for the Vietnamese army to enter Bashu if we cooperate from the inside and the outside. They can come in without us. That is their ability. Didn’t you say it, speak with strength!
Believe in Grandpa, what King Yue needs most is our influence in Bashu, if he hadn't been helped by us to enter Bashu.But after entering Bashu, how to stabilize the situation and how to consolidate his rule.So having these is enough! "

Seeing his grandson seeming to understand but not understanding, Qin Han continued: "Another important aspect is to leave room for everything, just in case... if the Vietnamese army fails, then Bashu will still be Liu Bang's territory. If We easily supported the Vietnamese army, so we are going to be suppressed by Liu Bang, at least it will cause damage, and at the worst it will be the disaster of extermination, so nothing can be done lightly."

It was only then that Qin Nan felt that his grandfather had considered things very carefully. The choice of a powerful family, especially when the old and new forces alternated, was even more critical and must be carefully considered.

Qin Han said softly: "So, don't worry, just wait! If the Vietnamese army enters Bashu, we will do our best to help. If they can't enter, our life will continue as usual. Remember that this is not the end of the first mouse, but the It's a wise choice, as the eldest grandson of the Qin family, you must be considerate and cautious in everything you do."

Qin Nan nodded lightly and said, "Grandpa, do you think the Vietnamese army can enter Bashu smoothly?"

Qin Han smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "This is not our concern, this should be considered by Yue King Yin Xu, of course, Lu Wan in Yiling, and even Han King Liu Bang who is far away in the Central Plains may have to do this Nothing to worry about, we alone don’t need to worry about these things, we are happy and at ease!”

……

In the city of Xingyang, Liu Bang's thoughts did fall to the land of Bashu, and everything came from Zhang Liang's reminder.

Because Peng Yue attacked in time, the rear of the Western Chu Kingdom was harassed, and the food roads of the Chu army were often attacked, which directly affected the Chu army's operations on the front line.In desperation, Xiang Yu had no choice but to order to focus on dealing with Peng Yue's stragglers.

After the Chu army retreated, Cheng Gao easily fell into the hands of the Han army again. Liu Bang was very excited about this result.Coupled with the success in Zhaodi, and the success of taking back the military power in Han Xin's hands, and stably controlling the Marshal Han.Liu Bang is naturally very happy when all the good things come together.

But when he was excited, Zhang Liang poured cold water on his head.

"King of Han, now is not the time to be happy!" Zhang Liang's words pulled Liu Bang back from his excitement.

Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang in amazement and asked, "Mr. Zifang, what's the matter?" To be honest, whenever Zhang Liang said this, Liu Bang was always a little apprehensive and worried.

Zhang Liang said: "As the saying goes, people who have no foresight must have near-term worries. The crisis in front of us has been resolved, but... I am afraid that this long-term concern will also become near-term worries!"

"What long-term concerns? What near-term worries?" Fan Kui beside him was full of confusion. When he was drinking and celebrating, Zhang Liang suddenly said something, and his heart was naturally very heavy.

"But worried about Xiang Yu's comeback?" Fan Kui guessed himself, and said, "Don't worry about this, we just need to be careful!"

Zhang Liang shook his head lightly, his eyes fell on Han Xin, and he asked softly, "What does Marshal Han think?"

Han Xin's eyebrows twitched, his expression remained unchanged and he said, "It's not Xiang Yu who is worried, but Yue Guo!"

Liu Bang's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that there was still Pu Jun in Jiangling, where the Yue Kingdom had stationed tens of thousands of troops, and they could be said to be eyeing the territory of the Han Kingdom.

Liu Bang asked: "Yin Xu wants to make a move? Where will he move?"

Zhang Liang and Han Xin looked at each other, and they said in unison: "Bashu!"

Since the Vietnamese army occupied Linjiang, the soldiers could threaten Bashu and Mianshui area at the same time. Now that Han Xin and Zhang Liang mentioned Bashu at the same time, we have to pay attention to it!
Fan Kuai was surprised: "The Vietnamese army is in Jiangling. They may attack Bashu or Xiangyang. How can you be sure that the Vietnamese army must be heading west instead of north?"

Han Xin shook his head and said: "There is no reason, the target of the Vietnamese army must be Bashu, there is no doubt about it!"

Zhang Liang explained: "Yin Xu wants to unify the south. Our troops in Bashu are relatively weak, and we are far away in the southwestern border. It can be said that we can't reach them. Xiangyang/Yang is different. It is farther away from Heluo and Guanzhong. It is close, and there is a strong city stationed there, our reinforcements can arrive in time. As for Bashu, we can only hope for the local garrison. Moreover, taking Bashu may be easier for the Vietnamese army, and the significance is even greater!"

Liu Bang knew clearly in his heart that Bashu was the place where he started his business, and it was an important grain producing area, which was of great significance.If it is taken away by Yueshou, then the strengths will ebb and flow, and the consequences will be unimaginable in the long run.Moreover, Bashu is connected to the land of Han/Zhong, and there is the magical Chencang trail.

This road was told by Yin Xu to Han Xin, which shows that Yin Xu and those Qin people (Liu Bang thinks that Yin Xu knew that the Chencang trail was informed by Qin people) are very familiar with the mountains of Bashu, and there may be other passages. .In this way, once the Yue State takes Bashu, it will indirectly threaten Guanzhong to some extent, which is the absolute foundation.Therefore, the strategic importance of Bashu to the Han State is self-evident, and the situation is indeed critical.

Liu Bangdao: "Yiling is an important passage into Bashu. The widow has ordered Lu Wan to guard it. It is not so easy for the Vietnamese army to break through!"

"I'm afraid that the Vietnamese army will not take the Yiling road!" Han Xin couldn't help but worry.

"What? Where did they come from?"

Han Xin shook his head lightly and said, "Based on what I know about Yin Xu, he is someone who doesn't follow the usual path!"

Liu Bang couldn't help feeling gloomy. If Lu Wan was defeated by Yin Xu, Bashu would be within easy reach of the Yue people.

"Mr. Zifang, you have some kind of opinion!"

Zhang Liang said: "I think Yiling is an important aspect of Bashu's final stay, and there is another very important factor..."

"what?"

"Bashuqin's family!"
