Guan Ying, a general of Qi State, just presented a deer to Liu Bang yesterday. Liu Bang asked the chef to kill him early in the morning. The meat was stewed now, so he invited Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to the tent. While drinking and eating meat, he chatted to relieve his boredom. He said that in the past half month, Liu Bang has really been bored, and even his interest in Concubine Qi's bow-back dance was greatly reduced.

At this moment, Liu Bang was holding a deer leg and eating it all over his mouth, while repeatedly praising the deliciousness of the venison.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's eating habits were much more polite than Liu Bang's city. The emperor and his ministers were having a lot of fun eating. Xiahou Ying suddenly strode in and reported to the report: "King, the messenger of the county magistrate of Dang County asked for a visit!"

Dang County belongs to the Liang State, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate and other officials, naturally appointed by Peng Yue, but no one knows that Dang County County magistrate had actually been secretly bribed by Liu Bang. Therefore, when Peng Yue received the urgent report from the Dang County County magistrate, the messenger of Dang County magistrate also rushed to Liu Bang's camp at the same time. As for the messenger of Sanchuan County magistrate Lü Ze, because he was far away, he was still on the road.

"The messenger of the county magistrate of Dang County?" Liu Bang waved his right hand, waving his graceful right hand and said carelessly, "You ask him to come in."

Xiahou Ying took the order and walked in after a while with a wet messenger. The messenger knelt down, took off the package on his back and held it high above his head, and then replied tragically: "King, King, Xiang Yu has already taken the Chu army to occupy the six cities of Aocang, Xingyang, Chenggao, Guangwu, Jingyi, Suoyi, and Dang County are already in danger!"

"What? Xiang Yu?!"

"Ao Cang's six cities were lost?!"

Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the lower head, looked at each other and couldn't believe it.

Liu Bang was also shocked. A large piece of venison that had just been put into his mouth suddenly slid into the throat cage and stuck in his throat again. He could not go down or get up. This guy choked Liu Bang. In just a moment, Liu Bang's face turned purple, his eyes were protruding, and he danced a few times before falling on the mat.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping realized something was wrong and rushed forward to help Liu Bang up.

Xiahou Ying also scrambled forward, slapped Liu Bang's vest twice. Then Liu Bang spit out the venison meat stuck in his throat cage with a "pop". Before he could take a breath, Liu Bang crawled and turned around again, grabbed Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's sleeves tightly, and shouted repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, it's over, Xiang Yu is not dead? Xiang Yu is not dead yet?"

It’s no wonder that Liu Bang was so surprised. The Chu and Han struggled with each other for five years. Liu Bang suffered too much from Xiang Yu. This time he finally defeated him at Gaixia and forced Xiang Yu to commit suicide by slashing his throat. He thought Xiang Yu had just passed by like this, but he never thought that someone suddenly came to him and told him that Xiang Yu was not dead and he even took Ao Cang with his army. What’s wrong?

"Don't worry, king, don't worry, if Xiang Yu dies, Xiang Yu must be dead!" Zhang Liang comforted repeatedly, "Even Xiang Yu's head is now rotten at the bottom of Shou Lake, how could he be resurrected from the dead? This matter must have been done by someone else in the name of Xiang Yu. No matter what, it is impossible for Xiang Yu to do this!"

Chen Ping also said: "Yes, the king, it would definitely not be Xiang Yu who attacked Ao Cang."

"Oh, it's not Xiang Yu." Liu Bang then breathed a sigh of relief and said relieved, "I just said that Xiang Yu is dead, how could he be resurrected from the dead?"

After saying this, Liu Bang frowned and asked Zhang Liang, "But Zifang, what's going on with Ao Cang?"

"This..." Zhang Liang exchanged glances with Chen Ping, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I can't say it well."

This matter is indeed difficult to judge. Although Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are extremely wise, they cannot know anything thousands of miles away.

Liu Bang touched the two beautiful mustaches on his lips and suddenly said, "Zifang, can we fall into the golden cicada shedding plan of Xiangzhuang's child, right?"

"This is impossible." Zhang Liang said decisively, "It is absolutely impossible!"

Chen Ping also said: "The king is worried too much. There is no news of the Chu army invading the territory in Linjiang Kingdom yet. If nothing unexpected happens, the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang will be defeated in the deep mountains."

Although Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are powerful, they are not gods after all. They are also limited by their fixed mindsets. They have not entered the deep mountains and forests to conduct on-site inspections. Naturally, they did not know that there are bamboos and rivers in the mountains, and they can just raft down the river. They would not have thought that Xiangzhuang, Wei Liao could really play a good show of the golden cicada shedding her shell!

"Then..." Liu Bang said again, "Who will attack Ao Cang?"

"Yes, who will attack Ao Cang?" Chen Ping also whispered, "Ao Cang Order Chen Xi was recommended by Lord Lv Ze. This person is quite famous in Wei. He should not be a mediocre person. Moreover, Ao Cang is in natural danger, and there are Xingyang, Guangwu, Chenggao, Jingyi, and Suoyi to protect the city. If you are eager to do it, how easy is it?"

"Yes, who will attack Ao Cang?" Liu Bang nodded repeatedly.

"King, it doesn't matter who attacked Ao Cang now." Zhang Liang sighed and said quietly, "As soon as Ao Cang loses, our army's food supply will be intercepted. Once this news spreads, all coalition forces will definitely be shocked. In addition, it has been raining for several days in Huai and Si, and all the soldiers of all countries will return home..."

Chen Ping's expression moved slightly and continued, "What's worse is that Dang County is unstable, how could King Peng Yue of Liang sit down and watch? If nothing unexpected happens, Peng Yue is afraid that he has already received the news. He should have said goodbye to the king!"

"Peng Yue is coming to say goodbye? He is going to lead troops back to Liang State?" Liu Bang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Liang nodded and silently said that this sudden situation would disrupt the Han King's overall plan. Once King Liang Peng Yue led his army back to rescue Liang, the other princes would definitely follow suit. What should Liu Bang stop him? Once these princes and kings return to their fiefs, the Han King would be as difficult as climbing to heaven if they wanted to transfer him out!

"Zifang, Peng Yue really came to say goodbye. What should I do?" Liu Bang said anxiously, "Let him go back?"

"How can that be done?" Zhang Liang shook his head flatly and said, "King, let Peng Yue return to Liangdi alone at this time, but he will just return to the mountain. It will be difficult to acquire his military power in the future."

"Then..." Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Is he taking away his military power now?"

Liu Bang was a rogue in the city and always acted extremely ruthlessly. He believed that as long as Han Xin stood by his side, even if he forcibly seized power, all the princes would never dare to cause trouble. As for Han Xin, Liu Bang was still very confident in him. At least for now, Han Xin was definitely the most loyal lackey under Liu Bang!

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "There are advantages and disadvantages to seize power now. How to choose depends on the king."

After saying that, Zhang Liang analyzed carefully: "If you forcefully seize power now, and the king has strong support from the King of Qi, all the princes will be resentful and dare not cause trouble. However, after all the princes return to their fiefdoms, they will definitely recruit soldiers and horses. If the king can quickly exterminate the remnants of the Chu army in various places, all the princes will not be able to become a climate!"

Liu Bang frowned and said, "What if we can't quickly extinguish the remnants of the Chu army?"

Zhang Liang sighed and replied: "If the remnants of the Chu army cannot be extinguished quickly, the princes and kings will definitely rebel in groups, and may even form an alliance with the Chu army and join forces to attack the king!"

Liu Bang said again: "Then Zifang thought that the remnants of the Chu army in various places could be extinguished quickly?"

"This... I dare not assert." Zhang Liang replied truthfully, "You must go to Liang and find out the truth before you can draw a conclusion. If you make a decision, you will mislead the king." Although Zhang Liang did not say it clearly, his implication was that he would quickly destroy the remnants of the Chu army.

Liu Bang thought about it, suddenly his eyes showed a fierce look and said with a grim voice: "How about you kill them all?"

Zhang Liang suddenly shivered and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, no, if the king really kills all the princes, I am afraid that even the King of Qi will betray the King!"

Liu Bang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "This is not OK, that is not OK, so what do you think should be done?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and suggested: "There is no other way to do this for now. The king might as well keep Zhou Yin, Jin Xu, and Li Zuoche in charge of the overall situation of Huai and Si and continue to besiege the remnants of Xiangzhuang. The king mobilized all the princes to go to Liang territory in the name of Dayi to cooperate with the Liang army to fight against the remnants of the Chu army. After arriving in Liang territory, he would then make a plan."

Liu Bang frowned and said, "Can this work be left to leave Zhou Yin in Jiujiang County?"

Zhou Yin rebelled against Chu and returned to Han, and was already very reluctant. If he was really kept, what would he do if he rebelled against Han in the future?

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "King, Jiujiang County is the foundation of Zhou Yin. If he sent others to stay in Jiujiang and transferred Zhou Yin's army to Liangdi, what would he think?"

"Yes." Chen Ping also said, "Thus can still make the king's benevolent and righteous."

"The key is that Zhou Yin is easy to deal with, and with Jin Xu and Li Zuoche, he can't make a big difference." Zhang Liang said again, "But if King Yingbu of Huainan stays in Jiujiang, it will take less than half a year. Jiujiang County will probably become an independent kingdom. If the king wants to mobilize the Huainan army, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Zhang Liang's words are the real key. In terms of ability and prestige, Zhou Yin is far inferior to Ying Bu.

"It seems that this is the only way." Liu Bang nodded and said, "What if all the princes are unwilling to go?"

Zhang Liang said: "The princes of all walks of life have the most military forces and the greatest contributions. The king is better off going to the King of Qi's camp. As long as the King of Qi expresses his support, the rest of the princes will not dare to object."

Liu Bang nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Xiahou Ying, go and prepare the carriage!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Ying came in to report: "King, King Peng Yue, Liang, is visiting!"
