Competing

Chapter 512 Han Xin’s Proposal
Don't act too hastily. Liu Bang agrees with this point. After all, he is now going to Yin Xu to discuss cooperation ideas, so what do you think?Most people will think that this is a slow-down strategy to keep Bashu.That's right, he wanted to keep Bashu, but the method was definitely not like this. Liu Bang knew very well that it was useless.

Furthermore, I don't know exactly how Yin Xu planned it. No matter how good the idea is, it's just some ideas of his own people.Yin Xu may not be willing to buy it.Moreover, if this kind of cooperation is not done well, it will suffer.Especially if the opponent is someone like Yin Xu, if one is not careful, he will steal the chicken and lose money.After all, Yin Xu has been sitting on the mountain watching tigers fight for a long time, how could he know that he would not suddenly leave when he was jointly dealing with Xiang Yu, and let himself deal with Xiang Yu independently.So don't be anxious about anything, you must think about it in the long run, I believe that as long as there are common interests, there is the possibility of cooperation. Yin Xu is a wise person, and he understands these principles.

However, as Han Xin said, it is necessary to be prepared. If you want to annex the Western Chu Kingdom, you must have a bargaining chip, and you must have this strength.At that time, there will be a confrontation with the Yue State, and there must be sufficient strength to ensure safety.Han Xin's words are so-so, what is behind this example?

There was a reason why Han Xin hesitated to speak. First, he wanted to adjust his appetite. He was still a little uncertain about Liu Bang's thoughts.Would it be counterproductive if I said it out? If so, it would be bad.

Seeing this, Liu Bang asked, "Marshal Han, what advice do you have?" After all, Han Xin's attainments in military strategy are very high, and now is the time for employing people. Moreover, Han Xin has been very loyal and stable during this period. Liu Bang was quite satisfied with this.

Han Xin put his mind to it, it was rare to have such a good opportunity, maybe it was his only chance, if he didn't grasp it well, maybe he would regret it forever.Forget it, at most Liu Bang disagrees, and now there is still a huge threat like Han Xin, he dare not do anything to himself.

Han Xin immediately said: "King of Han, our idea is to destroy the Western Chu State. After defeating Xiang Yu, we will form a north-south confrontation with the Yue State, but we have not yet defeated the Western Chu State! If we want to gain more benefits, we must deal with it. The Chu army played a leading role in this matter. It is not safe to expect the Yue State to deal with the Western Chu State in an all-round way. At that time, we want to confront the Yue State from the north to the south, but the north is not completely in our hands now!"

What Han Xin said naturally made some sense. Of course, there was something in his words. Liu Bang also heard some points, pretending not to know, and asked: "Marshal Han, what do you mean?"

Zhang Liang listened very carefully. He had always been suspicious of Han Xin, and his starting point was different from Liu Bang's unprovoked suspicion.He really felt that Han Xin was full of unstable factors, so whenever Han Xin had a good proposal, Zhang Liang always had to analyze Han Xin's motives and purposes.From Han Xin's words, it's not difficult to hear what he wants to do, but this time...

Han Xin said: "King of Han, what I mean is to continue to open the northern front. Yan, Liaodong, and Jibei are no longer necessary. Those places should all be brought under the rule of Han. Also, I have another idea, that is, After all the princes in Hebei were pacified, they marched towards Qi State. The army detoured behind the West Chu State and attacked from both sides.

Recently, Tian Heng, who fled to the seaside of Jiaodong, took Tian Rong's son, and was active in the Qi country.Their land of Qi State was already very appealing, and the Western Chu Army had been fighting on the western front recently, and there was a military vacuum in Qi State, so Tian Heng rushed back.Of course, after Xiang Yu gets the news, he will definitely send troops to recover it. It doesn't matter, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let them fight for a while, and send troops when they are both defeated, and take the land of Qi in one fell swoop. "

Han Xin's proposal is always very tempting. Liu Bang has a deep understanding of this, and what Han Xin said is not bad at all.It is undoubtedly an absolute good opportunity to win the land of Qi country now.Unify the entire north, plus Qi, it will be a rich land.Going around from the east to the back of the Western Chu State, and attacking from both sides, perhaps the Han Kingdom can destroy the Western Chu State alone.

Of course, this idea is a bit bold, but at least when uniting with the Yue Kingdom, the dependence on Yin Xu will be much smaller, and he is completely in a powerful dominant position.Moreover, the land of the north is truly in his hands. With such a huge strength and Yin Xu's confrontation, the capital is completely sufficient, and the chances of winning are much greater.

The only thing is...Liu Bang can hear it naturally, Han Xin's proposal is to express to himself euphemistically that he wants to send troops to pacify Yan, Liaodong, and then send troops to Jibei and Qi.Let Han Xin lead the army to go out... Liu Bang is still a little hesitant. After all, he still remembers the lesson from Hebei. Can he be allowed to leave like this?And with a lot of troops.

It is true that sending troops to the princes of Hebei, especially in the matter of pacifying the Seven Kingdoms, perhaps except for Han Xin, no one else could do it at all.Only Han Xin has this ability and strength, but the general will not accept the order of the emperor. If Han Xin leads the army to go out, can he rest assured?
Liu Bang didn't have the slightest grasp of this, and he felt a lot of apprehension in his heart, and he was a little uneasy.If Han Xin was allowed to leave like this, it would be a bit like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Will he be able to control him in the future?However, Han Xin's proposal was really attractive, and he would not be willing to give up like this, so Liu Bang was really in a difficult situation, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Bang's eyes swept over Han Xin intentionally or unintentionally, and finally fell on Zhang Liang. I don't know if Mr. Zifang has any plan to get the best of both worlds.

Zhang Liang naturally knew what Han Xin's proposal meant. Han Xin wanted to lead his army into battle.Although it is said that the hype is falling into the air and the logic is clear, it is hard to say what the actual purpose is.Han Xin's background, as well as his identity and behavior, have always made people feel a little uneasy.In addition to the current situation, if Han Xin led an army to attack, he would be alone.Leading many armies and occupying a large area of ​​land will inevitably breed arrogance and arrogance.Even if he has no idea, what about the generals and courtiers around him?

Conglong's support is a great achievement and a good way to enjoy the glory and wealth.Therefore, there are too many unstable factors around Han Xin, which makes people feel a little worried.

But what Han Xin said is very reasonable, the current situation in the north is another excellent opportunity, it would be a pity if he gave up easily.This is a major event related to the survival and future development of the Han Kingdom.Not only that, Zhang Liang thought a lot, and one more thing was related to Han Xin's mentality.

Regardless of what Han Xin thinks in his heart, as long as he is still with Liu Bang and is the generalissimo of the Han Dynasty, he is a handsome man who can fight and win big battles.Now that Xiang Yu is attacking frequently, the Yue State is also eyeing it. The Han State is employing people, especially talents like Han Xin, who are like the mainstay and are very much needed and relied on.

Not only in combat, but also in morale has an immeasurable impact.Some time ago, Cheng Gao fell, and the morale of the Han army was low and full of worries.At that time, no matter how much morale was boosted, it didn't seem to work. Instead, many soldiers shouted for Marshal Han to come back.Later, after Han Xin really returned from Zhao, the morale of the Han army increased a lot.

Now Han Xin has an invisible role in the Han army, which directly affects morale and confidence.Its prestige is quite high, and it is precisely because of this that we must be particularly cautious when dealing with Han Xin.

Now it is Han Xin who took the initiative to ask for orders to attack, and the reasons are good, which is also very beneficial.Even if there are worries and suspicions, those things cannot be put on the table after all.If Han Xin is rejected today, will Han Xin be angry because of this, and will he be divorced?It will undoubtedly be a huge loss to hurt the heart of a hero and important minister.And after it gets out, what will the soldiers think?
Han Xin's credit is there, and he has been loyal to the King of Han so far. The King of Han treats Marshal Han badly, and the soldiers will think so.In this way, it will inevitably cause more bad effects.

So this matter was really a bit embarrassing, and Zhang Liang didn't dare to make suggestions lightly.

On the contrary, Fan Kui, who was standing aside, said, "Marshal Han, we can't live without you here in Xingyang. What if Xiang Yu comes back after you leave? The soldiers need Marshal Han very much!"

Zhang Liang couldn't help smiling in his heart, Fan Kui was very reckless most of the time, but most of the time, he didn't know whether it was a mistake or something, his words and actions were just right, and he could help break the embarrassment and embarrassment.No wonder Liu Bang relied heavily on Fan Kuai. In addition to the brother-in-law relationship, this is also a very important aspect.

Han Xin smiled slightly: "General Fan is serious. Now he is marching into Qi to attract the troops of Western Chu. After part of the Chu army went to Xingyang to fight, the number of people attacking Xingyang was much smaller. Coupled with the existence of Peng Yue, it constitutes a It is not a big threat, but the meaning of taking Qi is that we have the opportunity to solve the Western Chu once and for all, and at least it can ensure that we remain invincible.

Also, General Fan's words are wrong. The backbone of the Han army is not Han Xin, but the King of Han! "

In this matter, Han Xin did not dare to take credit for it. He could not let the King of Han stand aside and make the King of Han unhappy.

Han Xin beautifully pushed away Fan Kui's words with a single sentence, Zhang Liang couldn't help sighing, maybe this matter... Sigh!

Han Xin smiled and asked softly, "King of Han, what do you think?"

"Ah..." Liu Bang's eyes fell on Zhang Liang, with some searching...

Zhang Liang sighed softly in his heart, he could only discuss the matter later, then nodded lightly...
