Competing

Chapter 610 Chapter [-]
A bell rang, and the gate of the palace opened.

Everyone stopped whispering and whispering, and entered the hall in an orderly manner.

The main hall of Xingyang Prince's Mansion is far inferior to that of Xianyang. It looks a bit shabby, which to some extent reflects the miserable situation in Han Dynasty today.

Liu Bang, the king of Han, was already sitting on the throne. Although he was sitting upright, his frosty temples and deep wrinkles on his forehead could not conceal his aging.

Many courtiers also clearly felt that the King of Han was getting old, and he was no longer as vigorous as before, and his momentum seemed to be much weaker.

The decline of the Han Dynasty seems to be an unstoppable trend.

"See King Han!" All the courtiers saluted Han King Liu Bang with various moods.

"Your honor is free!" Liu Bang stretched out his hand to return the salute.

Everyone got up and stood on both sides.

Liu Bang cleared his throat, and said loudly to the crowd: "Masters, we have called you here today because we have important matters to discuss."

Everyone said something in their hearts, no one said anything, and they all pretended not to understand and stood there listening to the King of Han's teachings.

Liu Bang looked around at the crowd, and continued: "The Yue Kingdom betrayed its trust, attacked me in Guanzhong, and killed Prime Minister Xiao. Now it is eyeing our Han Kingdom, and it may not be long before it sends troops. Today, all the ministers are called to discuss a countermeasure. , how to deal with the invasion of Yue, how to counterattack?"

Everyone was amused. It was good to deal with the invasion of the Yue Kingdom. As for the counterattack?It seems that some idiots are dreaming.

The three passes of Xiaoshan in Guanzhong and the Linjin pass by the Dahe River were closely guarded by the Vietnamese army, and there was no chance to attack.As for the Jingchu and Huai River coasts, the Yue army was like a defense line like an iron barrel, and there was no chance of counterattack at all.

When Liu Bang's words fell to the ground, needles could be heard in the hall, and no one said anything, and no one said anything.

Who dares to speak lightly on major matters related to the life and death of the Han Dynasty?Who has any tricks?

After being silent for a long time, Liu Bang couldn't hold back his face, and his eyes couldn't hide the loss.

"Zhou Bo, what do you think of this matter?" Liu Bang had no choice but to ask questions by name. The people he asked were all people he trusted, and of course there were slight changes.It seems that Mr. Zhang Liang was the first person to ask in the past, but today, there has been an unknowing change.

Zhou Bo was also a little embarrassed, and said, "King of Han, you must first figure out the direction of the Vietnamese army's attack, and then deal with it carefully according to the situation."

"The direction of attack?" Liu Bang smiled bitterly.

Everyone also has a deep understanding that the so-called attack direction is not Guanzhong, Xianyang, Huaishui, at most there is one more river east, and the Yue Kingdom may attack from any of these places.There is at least one place that can be determined, and there will definitely be Guanzhong, which is also the direction of attack that Han is most worried about.

Liu Bang was very disappointed, but he had to pretend to continue asking: "Where does Qing think the Vietnamese army will attack from?"

Zhou Bo said: "Guanzhong and Jingchu, the Huaishui side should not."

"How sure is Qing?" Liu Bang was somewhat relieved.

Zhou Bo said: "The side of the Huai River is related to the Liang and Qi kingdoms, and it must be wary of the three kingdoms at the same time. I think the Yue kingdom is also afraid."

"Does Qing have any good countermeasures?" Liu Bang asked softly.

As a high-ranking general in the Han army, Zhou Bo had some insight as a famous general. He said: "The king of Han, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Yue's attack is too fast, which is a threat to both Liang and Qi. Presumably both Liang and Qi feel it." , this battle can unite Liang Wang and Qi Wang, and the three kingdoms will send troops together to fight against the Yue Kingdom."

The alliance of the three countries, many people have such an idea in their hearts, maybe this is the only way at the moment.The strength of the Yue State is too strong, and only the combined forces of the three countries can compete with it.

However, how this alliance will be combined, what Peng Yue and Han Xin think is still unknown.The specific way to proceed still needs to be discussed, and the alliance must pay some price. How to distribute the benefits is a lot of problems, so whether it can be carried out smoothly is still a problem.

Liu Bang felt a little bitter in his heart, and now he went to invite Peng Yue and Han Xin to join forces, and to put it bluntly, he meant to beg them.Low-pitched, low-key, Liu Bang couldn't hold back his face.

That's all for Peng Yue, but Han Xin... As soon as Han Xin was mentioned, Liu Bang felt a strange feeling in his heart.

While meditating, someone said: "King of Han, the alliance of the Three Kingdoms is very necessary, not only that, it is best to attack."

Liu Bang raised his head and saw that the person speaking was Zhang Liang.

I only heard Zhang Liang say: "King of Han, our army is mainly prepared for Guanzhong and Xiangyang. We can unite with Liang and Qi, let the king of Qi send troops to Huaishui, attack Huainan, suppress the troops of Yue, threaten the capital of Yue, Hongdu, and force The Vietnamese army returned to aid, reducing the pressure on our country, so as to seek a counterattack across the board."

Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect that Mr. Zhang Liang would suddenly speak at this time.Liu Bang also nodded slightly after hesitating slightly.

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Bang and nodded, then stepped back, his eyes full of anticipation.

Choosing to speak at this time, Zhou Bo has already made a good start. I would like to make some additions. I feel that there is a high possibility that Liu Bang will follow and adopt the suggestion.

At the same time, it was also a test for him, to test Liu Bang's intentions at the end, if it is still the case, then Xingyang really has nothing to miss.

Zhang Liang's heart was up and down, uneasy and full of anticipation.

After a series of discussions, all of which were insignificant, Liu Bang said: "Misters, I have kept your opinions in mind, and I am thinking about it carefully, and then discuss it..."

consider... discuss...

Hearing such a reply, Zhang Liang's mood suddenly turned cold...

..................................................................

Regardless of whether Liu Bang denies his intention to cooperate with Liang Guo, Peng Yue has already realized the threat of death.

In Daliang City, Peng Yue also spent his days in anxiety.

"Sir, judging from the current signs, it's time for the Yue Kingdom to take action." Peng Yue said lightly.

Chen Qingshan nodded and said: "That's right, Yin Xu took down Guanzhong, and it is inevitable to attack the Central Plains."

Peng Yue said: "Will he attack us first? I heard that Yue State has re-dredged the Hangou. This sewer goes from Jiangdong to Daliang! If Liang State is captured, the connection between Han and Qi can be severed. It seems that this possibility is not impossible!"

Chen Qingshan sighed: "Although this is the case, the possibility of the Yue State attacking the Han State first is still the greatest."

Peng Yue smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't matter who we attack first, it won't do us any good. Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!"

"It seems that we need to unite with Liu Bang..."

Peng Yue said with a smile: "Look, maybe Liu Bang's envoy is already on his way to Daliang! But we and Liu Bang alone may not be Yin Xu's opponents, it depends on Han Xin's attitude!"
