Competing

Chapter 517 Thunderbolt
Yue Wang Yinxu's arrangements for the battle of Bashu can be said to be exhaustive, and all possibilities have been considered.All the gaps were prepared, and at the same time, people were sent to plug them.Such a careful arrangement can be said to be like a slap in the face, so Lu Wan is destined to be unable to escape.

The facts and conjectures were correct. Lu Wan's spies only found Pu Jun's men in the east of Yiling, but they didn't notice Ying Bu who came later.Therefore, he rashly believed that Jiangling was empty, and then led the army to attack Yiling.It's a pity that before reaching the Jiangling city, it was blocked by water.

The strength of Yue Guo Feiying is much stronger than the spies of the Han army. It has not been a day or two for Yin Xu to plot Bashu, and Feiying can be said to be pervasive.Feiying noticed Lu Wan's movements early in the morning, and Feige sent the letter to Yingbu.So on the way, Yingbo opened his pocket, waiting for Lu Wan to get in.

The Yue people have planned for such a long time, spent so much effort and arrangement, and finally surrounded Lu Wan. How can they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It is so easy to close the door and beat the dog, and the whole army is wiped out. Before Lu Wan figured out what was going on, she was defeated.Seeing the soldiers in front of him fall down one by one, Lu Wan clearly realized that he had underestimated Yue Kingdom and Yue King Yin Xu a little too much.Originally, he wanted to sneak attack Jiangling and regain some ground, but in reality?He fell into the trap and was surrounded by Yue people like this!It turned out that everything was calculated by others, but now I have to pay the price for my stupidity, stubbornness, and overreaching my own capabilities!
At this time, what he hopes most is to rule out one person to apologize to Han Wang Liu Bang, wrong, all wrong!Because of his willful behavior, more than 1 Han troops fell into a heavy siege.The road ahead has been blocked by Yingbo, and Pu Jun also turned his gun to point at himself.

"King of Han, I have failed, I am sorry for you!" Lu Wan looked up to the sky and sighed, slaying herself with a sword in despair.

Lu Wan tried her best, but still couldn't get rid of the end of being flanked and wiped out, but the location was changed from Yiling to Jiangling.It was a tenacious persistence, but now it has turned into a self-inflicted trap, and the result seems to be even more desolate.Perhaps the most depressed person is not Lu Wan, but the lieutenant general.He tried hard to dissuade the stubborn general, but still failed to stop the stubborn general. The most worried result still happened, and no one could change it!

The battlefield to encircle and wipe out Lu Wan was changed from Yiling to Jiangling. After Yingbu joined the attack, Yun Qingshan and Su An were free.After receiving the news, they went straight to the hinterland of Bashu without a moment's delay, and started to incorporate and take over Bashu.The news that Lu Wan was besieged and wiped out in Jiangling spread quickly, and the Yue people actually took control of the military and political power in Bashu.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the land of Bashu will become the possession of Yue State.The State of Yue perfectly wanted to demonstrate its strength to the mighty and powerful families in Bashu, and at the same time brought them enough shock and deterrence.With their help, the place where Hanwang Liu Bang made his fortune was completely controlled by the Yue army and officially became a county of Yue State.

While the Han State lost a large area of ​​land, the Yue State also occupied almost all the land south of the river.From the mountains of Bashu in the west to the sea of ​​Kuaiji in the east, all are the territory of Yue.From then on, the Yue Kingdom truly dominated the south and became an important vassal state in the world.Its land area and strength have surpassed that of the Western Chu State, and it is even comparable to the national flag of the Han Dynasty, but its population and economic development are slightly inferior.But as far as the current situation of the princes is concerned, Yue is much stronger than South Korea.

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked by it, and the most surprised one should be Liu Bang, the king of Han.

In Xingyang, Zhou Bo hurried into the palace hall and brought the latest news from Bashu. During this period, he was basically responsible for the news of the battle against Bashu.Zhou Bo hurried all the way, with a very gloomy expression on his face, especially after reading the letter of the military report in his hand, he was even more disturbed.He really didn't know how to tell the King of Han about this news, and how would the King of Han react?Such a difficult problem is really difficult to deal with!

Bashu was defeated, but no one thought that Bashu would lose so terribly!
"King of Han, there is news from Bashu!" Zhou Bo reported softly after entering the hall.His mood made him speak without the slightest confidence.

The matter of Bashu, after the previous deduction and the synthesis of various news.Although Liu Bang wanted to keep Bashu, but the fact is always so regrettable.Bashu will always be lost, and currently there is not so much strength to fight Bashu.It is an indisputable fact that what is gained is bound to be lost. Even if you are very unwilling in your heart, you still have to face such a cruel fact.

But anyone who does big things has an extraordinary mind, and Liu Bang is already mentally prepared for this.The loss of Bashu is inevitable, and the matter has come to this point, so I have to grit my teeth and accept it.Fortunately, with the continuous expansion of the princes of sorrow to supplement, the position can always be balanced.Liu Bang had a hard time mentally preparing himself for this. Even so, he spent these days in a state of anxiety, waiting for the news from Bashu.Even if you die, you have to die to understand.

Today's news finally arrived, Liu Bang gently raised his head to look at Zhou Bo, his heart that he thought was calm still twitched uncontrollably.After all, it is the place where I have worked hard for so long. The significance of Bashu to the Han Kingdom is self-evident, and now it is lost like this.Whether it is in fact or in strategic significance, morale and face, it is a huge loss, and in the final analysis, I am still a little unwilling.Now Liu Bang can fully understand what kind of mood Xiang Yu was in when Jiangdong Second County was lost.Helpless, absolutely helpless!
When things came to an end, he found that he still couldn't let go.Such a big loss is still heartbreaking for a while, Yin Xu, Yin Xu, you stabbed me hard in the back!
"How is the situation?" Liu Bang asked in a deep voice, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.

Zhou Bo glanced at Hanwang's expression and knew that Liu Bang was already very unhappy.He felt a little worried, if he told the news himself, would the King of Han be able to bear it?How will you react?After all, the truth is much crueler than expected.Zhou Bo involuntarily glanced at Mr. Zifang next to him, he hesitated to speak!

Zhang Liang naturally clearly noticed Zhou Bo's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. From this point of view, it seems that the situation is very bad?How serious is it?Zhang Liang guessed, feeling more and more uneasy.

Seeing Zhou Bo hesitate to speak, Liu Bang frowned, knowing that it must not be good news.Seeing Zhou Bo's concern, Liu Bang smiled wryly and said, "It's okay, let's tell the truth, I just listen to you." Isn't it just those things, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing more to say.

"King of Han, the Vietnamese army did not go to Yiling. They took a detour through the Yelang Plateau and entered Bashu from the south." Zhou Bo replied in a low voice.Some things are better done step by step, such as this kind of bad news, it is better to say it bit by bit, and it may be better to give the other party a time to accept and buffer!

"Sure enough!" Liu Bang sighed secretly, and Zhang Liang and Han Xin guessed it right.Yin Xu thought that he was the one who did not take the usual path, and entered Bashu through Yelang. This result is not surprising at all, and the result is probably the same.Unexpectedly, they even colluded with the Yelang people. The road over there is so difficult, and the Yue people still worked tirelessly. It seems that they are determined to win Bashu!

Liu Bang sighed lightly, nodded and said, "And then?"

Zhou Bo continued: "After the Vietnamese army entered Bashu, with the support of Bashu tyrants represented by the Qin family, the Yue Kingdom has completely controlled Bashu."

The powerful and powerful families in the local area are such scumbags, and it is inevitable to follow the wind. There is nothing to blame for this.The fact is that as long as the Vietnamese army enters the land of Bashu, they will inevitably fall to the side of Yue.They will support whoever allows them to protect themselves and whoever enables them to develop.For such a fact, there is nothing to say, just acquiesce!

"By the way, where is Lu Wan? Has he ever been to Xiangyang?" Liu Bang remembered Lu Wan's whereabouts and asked softly. Bashu had been lost. I don't know what is going on with Lu Wan?Let him act cheaply according to the situation, and I don't know what the result will be!

"Lu Wan...General Lu Wan..." Zhou Bo hesitated, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Liu Bang's eyes flashed, and a bad premonition filled his heart. Did something happen to Lu Wan?
Zhou Bo then said: "King of Han, the Yue Kingdom has been very ruthless this time. Yun Qingshan, Su An and Pu Jun attacked Lu Wan in Yiling. Seeing that the situation was not good, General Lu Wan wanted to attack Jiangling instead of being caught by Ying Bu. blocked, surrounded Jiangling City, so that the entire army was wiped out, and General Lu Wan also..."

When the thunderbolt came from the blue sky, Liu Bang's heart was turned into a turbulent sea, and the whole army was wiped out?Lu Wan...

"What's wrong with Lu Wan?" Liu Bang immediately asked, Lu Wan is only a general under his command now, but they were all close friends in the past.Lu Wan's wife and Lu Zhi are still best friends like sisters, and the relationship between the two families is really unusual.

Zhou Bo said in a low voice: "The king of Han mourns. General Lu Wan died in battle outside Jiangling City. He died for the country with his own body!"

"What?" A wine cup in Liu Bang's hand fell to the ground in response. Obviously, the news shocked him so much that he couldn't accept it for a while.

Lu Wan actually died?

This is a very good general of the Han army who died in battle since the current development. He is a good friend who came out of Peixian with Liu Bang!So he died in Jiangling, at the hands of the Yue people.Such a bad news dealt a great blow to Liu Bang, even better than the loss of Bashu.

"Tell me, it's not true?" Liu Bang asked softly. He really hoped that Zhou Bo would bring back a wrong message and that his friend would still live in this world well.The [-] soldiers I have in Bashu are still there, and such a loss is indeed a bit unbearable.

Zhou Bo could naturally understand Liu Bang's state of mind, and shook his head lightly, saying, "My condolences to the King of Han, General Lu Wan has indeed died for his country!"

Lu Wan is really dead, Liu Bang finally accepted this somewhat painful fact, now he knows why Zhou Bo hesitates to speak, hesitating!Unexpectedly, the Battle of Bashu was defeated so tragically!

The loss of Bashu has long been foreseen and psychologically prepared, and if it is lost, it will be lost.But what Liu Bang never expected was that Lu Wan's more than 1 people would be wiped out.Haven't you already issued an edict?He was asked to retreat to Xiangyang to join Liu Jia, how could such a result happen?

For a moment, Liu Bang was full of doubts and anger, as well as a lot of sadness!
"How did this happen? Why didn't Lu Wan act according to the widow's order?" Yin Xu was also a little angry while feeling sad for Lu Wan.Is it because of the close relationship between this love general and himself that he boldly asserts himself so that he is so defeated?

Zhou Bo shook his head lightly and said, "King of Han, we don't know what General Lu Wan was thinking at that time. Maybe he acted on his own, or he had no choice. The Yue Kingdom sent Yun Qingshan, Su An and Pu Jun East and west attacked Yiling, and Lu Wan had to withdraw his troops. If he retreated to Xiangyang according to the established strategy, he would also be unable to escape the fate of being robbed and killed. Yingbo would have been waiting halfway.

Perhaps it was out of desperation that General Lu Wan wanted to attack Jiangling and die with the people of Yue.But bad luck, they were discovered by Yue people, and they surrounded Jiangling City!The situation at that time was complicated, and General Lu Wan must have had a lot of difficulties. Maybe there was some reason for him to be able to do this! "

Lu Wan and Zhou Bo had a good friendship in the past, but since they are dead, it is meaningless to find out what is right and what is wrong.At the same time, Zhou Bo also wanted to make Liu Bang feel better, and transferred all his anger and hatred to the Yue people.

Sure enough, Liu Bang's expression improved after hearing the fact that the Yue State had laid a net to intercept Lu Wan.Lu Wan also gave her all for the country of Han, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so tragic.Besides, the edict to act cheaply was issued by himself, so what can we say now?

For a while, Liu Bang's heart was full of resentment towards Yin Xu, king of Yue, Yin Xu!Yin Xu!You are too cruel, just take away my Bashu, but also kill my people, what is going on?

The current stalls of the Han Dynasty are relatively large, and the military strength is already stretched. More than 1 veterans who were able to recruit and fight were wiped out in this way, which is really a big loss.I thought that after taking Bashu, the next target would be Xiangyang and the entire lower reaches of the Mian River. Supplementing with Lu Wan's troops, the defense could also increase a lot, but now it seems that this possibility is completely impossible.What Yin Xu did was really too much. Is he really going to make a big move against Han?Liu Bang couldn't help guessing secretly!
For a while, Liu Bang even had an urge to directly dispatch troops to start a war with the Yue State, so that the Yue State would pay some price for it!
"Yin Xu, you are too deceitful!" Liu Bang slapped him on the table in front of the throne, and the loud sound spread throughout the hall, hitting everyone's heart.

They all knew very well that this time, King Han was really angered, to the extreme!
"I want to send troops to Jiangling, to take back Bashu, and to avenge Lu Wan and those more than 1 soldiers!" Liu Bang was also furious, cursing sharply, his voice was loud, and he seemed to be very determined.

Zhang Liang, who had been standing aside without speaking, finally couldn't sit still. He expected that Bashu would definitely be lost. As for Lu Wan...he really didn't expect such a bad consequence...nor did he expect that the state of Yue would lose it. The first time he did something so decisively, so mercilessly... As the number one counselor beside the King of Han, he didn't accurately perceive Yue's intentions, which made him feel a little ashamed and remorseful, and also felt quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Liang was angry and sad, but he kept clear enough in his mind. When he heard that Liu Bang was furious and wanted to attack Yue, he hurriedly said, "King of Han, no!"

Liu Bang was at the height of his anger, how could he let it go, and said: "Don't let anyone stop you..."

Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "King of Han, now is not the time to fight for the length of the day. Revenge is naturally necessary, but we need to think long-term, and rashly sending troops will be counterproductive. Once we have any changes, I think the Western Chu Kingdom will not sit idly by. Yes. This is dangerous, now we need to calm down and think about it in the long run!"

Perhaps at this time, only Zhang Liang dared to say these words, and only he could say them effectively!

Only then did Liu Bang wake up a little bit. That's right, there is still a Western Chu country behind him, and it is not easy to do whatever he wants.

Zhou Bo also said: "King of Han, let's discuss this matter later, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to send troops in the name of revenge this time!"

"What's going on?" Liu Bang was very puzzled. If he really sent troops now, it would be best in the name of revenge.How could Zhou Bo say that?
Zhou Bo explained: "The State of Yue has now started to make propaganda, saying that General Lu Wan plotted Jiangling and intended to do something wrong with Jiangling. The actions of the Vietnamese army were defensive, and the encirclement and annihilation of Lu Wan's generals was a righteous counterattack. The fact that they invaded Bashu But because of this, it has diluted a lot...so..."

Liu Bang couldn't help yelling, Yue Guo really went too far this time, it's really shameless to turn right and wrong like this.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang said: "King of Han calm down, the Yue Kingdom has indeed gone too far, but General Lu Wan's attack on Jiangling has indeed given people an excuse, and it is really difficult to deal with this matter. If we want to use this as an excuse The excuse to send troops to deal with the Yue Kingdom is probably insufficient. Besides, our current military strength is limited, Xiang Yu has been eyeing it all the time, and Marshal Han is about to send troops to Yanqi. The King of Han should not be sad about the fact that he is unable to change it. As for the blood feud between General Lu Wan and his soldiers, there will be a long time to come, and we still have a chance!"

Only then did Liu Bang sit back where he was, but his heart was extremely heavy, and it was true.The news of a thunderbolt came, even if he wanted to take revenge, there were many constraints, he really had no choice!
