Chapter 29 Kill two birds with one stone
Under the warm hospitality of Xiang Liang, the meal at Ziyou Pavilion lasted until late at night. At this time, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang returned to their rooms. A personal attendant brought tea. The two of them drank tea each.
It can be said that the feeling of living under someone else's roof is not pleasant. What's more, Liu Bang was once a prince. At this time, if he had not been desperate, Liu Bang would not consider asking Xiang Liang for help. However, when he saw Xiang Zhuang this time, Liu Bang felt that Xiang Zhuang had changed. Very big. At least Xiang Zhuangzhao is much more mature than he was back then.
The room was extremely quiet. The two of them were thinking about each other. I don't know how much time passed. Liu Bang suddenly sighed softly and said with emotion: "The Xiang family has a large number of talents. It has risen so fast in these years that it can't help but make people sigh."
As he spoke, Liu Bang took a sip of tea and added: "If the Qin Kingdom is destroyed in the future, the Xiang family will definitely stand out from the crowd and greatly rejuvenate the Chu Kingdom."
After saying this, Liu Bang stopped talking. Zhang Liang was also worried about this matter. The Xiang family is a single family. This will seriously threaten South Korea. Although South Korea has not yet returned to the country, it can be done later. Zhang Liang is completely We are confident of reviving South Korea, but the power of Chu will definitely have an impact on South Korea. Although everyone is in harmony and in peace at the moment, the premise is that everyone has a common enemy, the Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Liang put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and walked around the room. Soon, he suddenly came up with a plan. He turned around and looked at Liu Bang. He laughed and said, "I have a plan. It can break Xiang Liang's arm. Hahaha..."
Zhang Liang interrupted his meditation. Liu Bang couldn't help but look up. He also smiled along with Zhang Liang and said, "I wonder what the general has in mind."
"This... secret must not be leaked." Zhang Liang was trying to be mysterious. At this time, Zhang Buyi's voice sounded outside the door: "Father, can I come in?"
"Come in." Zhang Liang glanced out the door. At this time, the door was pushed open. Zhang Buyi walked in quickly and came to Zhang Liang's side. He whispered: "Father, I got the news. Xiang Bohe Xiang You has arrived in Pengcheng with the grain and grass escort. He will reach Xue County in two days."
After listening, Xiang Liang couldn't help but look at Liu Bang and laughed: "Our opportunity has come..."
...
Three days later, the Chu army's supplies arrived. The city gate opened and the supply convoy slowly entered the city.
Xiang Bo, who had just returned from the county government, hurried back to the military camp. His son Xiang You hurried to greet him. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, Zhang Liang is waiting for you in the commander's tent."
Xiang Bo nodded and walked quickly to the handsome tent. After a while, Xiang Bo opened the curtain and entered. Zhang Liang was checking the map at this time. After hearing the footsteps, he turned back and saw Xiang Bo walking in in a hurry. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Xiang Bo, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Only later did Xiang Bo find out that Gongsun Liang, whom he had known for a long time, turned out to be Zhang Liang, a descendant of Prime Minister Han. Although Bo Xiang was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Liang for deceiving him, there were still many people in troubled times who were not like this.
At this time, Xiang Bo quickly came up to greet me. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, you and I don't have to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
The two of them were polite again and then took their seats. At this time, Xiang You personally brought two cups of hot tea. He bowed and turned to leave. Looking at Xiang You's back, Xiang Liang praised: "Xiang You's nephew is getting more and more mature." Already."
After a pause, Zhang Liang looked at Xiang Bo again and said with a smile: "The situation is now turbulent. The Qin State Building is about to collapse. Although Zhang Han is brave and good at fighting, he is tired of running around and is not afraid. It is for this reason that I raised the I come here to vote. I hope I can show my strength in the Chu army. Then I hope Brother Xiang will take care of me."
"Ah...my dear brother said that. Are you looking down on me, Uncle Xiang?" Uncle Xiang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Back then, I took refuge in Xiapi. If my dear brother hadn't helped me, I would have been dead now. My dear brother, I would have been dead." Never have this intention again."
What Zhang Liang wanted was this sentence. At this time, he looked at the map and then at Xiang Bo. He pretended to be grateful and sighed: "That's okay. I don't like beating around the bush. I'm here this time. I have a plan that I would like to offer to Duke Liang. Please ask Brother Xiang to recommend it to me."
Hearing the word 'good strategy', Xiang Bo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why is this so difficult? I'll ask you, Brother Liang, to follow me to the county government office."
...
Everything is under Zhang Liang's control. Xiang Bo is Zhang Liang's platform. He wants to gain Xiang Liang's trust through the brotherhood between Xiang Bo and Xiang Liang. At this time, in the county government, Xiang Bo and Xiang Liang Liang was talking about something. I don't know how long it had passed. Xiang Liang laughed heartily: "What a Zhang Liang. He has a good plan, but he has to go around in such a big circle to find me. Hurry, let him in."
Xiang Bo also followed Xiang Liang's complaint and laughed heartily. At this time, Xiang Bo shouted outside the living room: "Come here, please go and invite General Zhang Liang."
About half a cup of tea later, Zhang Liang walked into the living room led by a personal attendant. At this time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo had already stood up to greet each other. After greeting each other, they took their seats. At this time, Xiang Liang went straight to the topic and laughed. He said, "I heard from Uncle Xiang that Brother Liang has a clever plan to defeat the Qin Dynasty. I wonder if I can give him some advice."
"I dare not give you advice. It's just some immature ideas." Zhang Liang said politely. At this time, two followers brought the map. Zhang Liang got up and came to the map. He looked at the map and smiled: " If you want to defeat the Qin Dynasty, just focusing on the situation in Shandong is not enough to shake the Qin Dynasty. If you want to completely defeat the Qin State, the most critical place is Guanzhong."
Zhang Liang's right hand tapped Xianyang on the map. He then said: "Destroy Hangu Pass and enter the Pass. Only in this way can we completely defeat the Qin State. Back then, Chen Sheng sent Zhou Wenshuai's army to attack Hangu Pass directly with an army of 400,000. Entering the Pass with great force. For a time, the Guanzhong was in turmoil. The Qin State was almost destroyed. This tactic was extremely superb. But in the end, because Zhang Chu's army had no reinforcements and insufficient supplies, it was defeated and left the Guanzhong. From then on, Zhang Han became famous at home and abroad. .”
When Zhang Liang said this, he paused and looked at Xiang Liang. Seeing him nodding slightly, he smiled and said, "What is Mr. Liang thinking?"
Seeing Zhang Liang asking, Xiang Liang couldn't help but smile and said: "Not long ago, Han Xin also gave me advice. He suggested that I divide my troops and go to Xiangcheng to attack Hangu Pass. Now that I think about it, your two strategies are very similar."
Seeing what Xiang Liang said, Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "Although Han Xin's strategy is good, it is a little weak. Duke Liang might as well order Wu Rui to go to Changsha, Xiang Zhuang to go to Nanyang, and Duke Liang to force his troops to go to Hangu Pass. And I. I am willing to go to Han in person and call on the Korean people to respond to Liang Gong and fight fiercely in Hanoi. By then, the world will be in turmoil and Qin will be uneasy on all sides. What will happen if it is not destroyed?"
There was a brief silence in the hall. Xiang Liang, who had been thinking for a long time, finally smiled and said: "The general's strategy is indeed extraordinary. Let me think about it and discuss it with the general."
Seeing that Xiang Liang was tempted, Zhang Liang was secretly happy. As long as Xiang Zhuang was removed, Xiang Liang would have far fewer powerful generals. This was Zhang Liang's plan to break his arm. At this time, Zhang Liang// knew that it would be useless to talk more. . He bowed to Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo: "In that case, I will leave first."
...
About five days later, the drums were beating loudly in the Chu army camp. Xiang Liang finally adopted Zhang Liang's strategy and decided to divide his troops and advance towards Guanzhong.
The first group to go out will be Wu Rui's main force. He will go south and return to Poyang. After reorganizing, he will advance westward from Changsha. The second group to go out will be Xiangzhuang. He will first help Liu Bang recapture Pei County. Then he returned to Junzhu County. After repairing, he marched to Nanyang. Xiang Liang also considered letting Liu Bang and Xiang Zhuang march westward together and march to Nanyang. But after Xiang Liang thought about it many times, he gave up the idea and decided to recruit Liu Bang's men. Listen to orders.
There is also Zhang Liang. He intends to send troops to Korea. In response to the Chu army, he marches to Guanzhong. However, considering that Zhang Liang's strength is unstable at this time, Xiang Liang's trust in Zhang Liang is not high yet, so he suppresses Zhang Liang's sending troops for the time being. decision.
After the sound of drums, the Poyang army slowly left the camp and marched south to the east gate of the camp. Xiang Liang led the troops to march for Wu Ruizhuang. At this time, everyone held a wine glass in their hands. Under Xiang Liang's blessing, they drank from the forbidden cup. liquor.
"I'll see you after a long journey, but we must say goodbye eventually. We'll see you in Xianyang." Xiang Liang said very generously. Wu Rui also returned the gift. Then, one of his followers gave him the reins. Wu Rui got on his horse and led the generals to the camp. The layman went. When they were not far away, Wu Fang looked back at Xiang Zhuang with tears in her eyes. She watched with reluctance until the war horse went further and further away. Chu Ying turned into a black dot in her eyes.
At night, there was a curfew in the city, but there were still a few fast horses galloping in the streets, heading straight for the county government. Xiangzhuang was very anxious at this time. Wu Rui sent troops to Changsha. Xiang Liang decided on this matter alone without discussing it with anyone. What surprised Xiang Zhuang even more was that Xiang Liang actually decided to let himself follow Liu Bang to attack Fengyi in three days.
Seeing that the Qin army is now in Dang County not far away, a war may break out at any time. The Chu army does not have an absolute advantage. Moreover, when Han Xin proposed the strategy, he only proposed to transfer some of the troops and horses to the west to wait for the opportunity. But This strategy changed when it came to Zhang Liang. It almost divided the Chu army into several pieces. If this continues, the Chu army will be in danger.
It can also be seen from this that Zhang Liang had ulterior motives. Not only did he take away many of the main forces of the Chu army, but he also won the soldiers and horses to regain Han. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. This also made Xiang Zhuang completely see through. Zhang Liang had already begun to plan his retreat. .
Seeing that Xiang Liang was about to go the wrong way, Xiang Zhuang decided to stop Xiang Liang. Soon, the team bypassed the long street and arrived at the county government office. After the notification, Xiang Zhuang hurried inside.
At this time, the lights in the back office were brightly lit, and Xiang Liang did not fall asleep. It can be said that Xiang Liang saw Xiang Liang's strategy of dividing the Chu army from Zhang Liang's plan. However, he directly attacked Guanzhong and completely defeated the Qin regime. This For Xiang Liang, it is the best policy.
At this time, Xiang Zhuang had already expressed his worries to Xiang Liang. Although Xiang Liang did not express his position, it could be seen in his words that he was determined to divide his troops and advance. It was not Xiang Zhuang who said two words. Words can be shaken.
There was a brief silence. Xiang Zhuang sighed: "If my uncle insists on dividing his troops and advancing forward, please replace him and attack Nanyang. I would like to stay with my uncle and advise him."
Xiang Zhuang's request did not persuade Xiang Liang. At this time, Xiang Liang hesitated for a long time, but shook his head and sighed: "The Nanyang front line is very important. I am going to replace him. I am really worried. In addition, I have decided to transfer Han Xin and Xiang Guan goes to your command. You can lead the army and set off soon."
Xiang Zhuang wanted to say something more, but Xiang Liang had no intention of listening to Xiang Zhuang's argument anymore. Besides, this time he divided his troops and advanced. Xiang Liang had already made up his mind. He was silent for a moment. Xiang Liang waved his hand to the door and ordered: "Go back early.
Rest. Don’t mention this matter again in the future.”
Since Xiang Liang couldn't be persuaded, Xiang Zhuang had no choice but to sigh and cup his hands: "My nephew, please leave."
