Chapter 77
The situation in Wei has completely reversed!
Mobs are mobs after all, and it is difficult to form a climate in a short period of time.
Under the fierce attack of the Liang army like a storm, more than a dozen rebels led by Pang Yu, Jin Bo and Zhao Deng were quickly defeated. When Xiangzhuang set fire to Linzi City, almost all the more than 20 cities that were originally controlled by the rebels were lost. Only Aocang City, which Chen Xi was defended, as well as Chen Xi's disciples Man Qiuchen, and Zhang Chun, Xingyang, and Chenggao were guarded by Zhang Chun.
However, even if Aocang, Xingyang and Chenggao have not yet been lost, they will definitely not last long.
Because Peng Yue's 100,000 troops had already surrounded Ao Cang, Liu Kou and Lü Ze also surrounded Chenggao, but as for Xingyang, they were surrounded by Liu Bang and hundreds of thousands of troops of various princes, and the fall was only in the evening.
It was late at night, but the lights were brightly lit in Liu Bang's tent.
Liu Bang leaned against the cushion and was dozing with his eyes closed. From Huainan to Liangdi, the long-distance marching for more than half a month was really exhausted. After all, he was almost sixty years old, and he was not as good as a young man in his twenties. In addition, Liu Bang was so kind that he favored Bo Ji and Qi Ji almost every night, so he became more and more unable to stop him.
Liu Bang can still take a break from his busy schedule, but Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are not so lucky.
Zhang Liang is actually not young anymore, almost fifty years old, and has always been in poor health. However, at this moment, he still has to be energetic and gather with Chen Ping in front of the screen hanging on the map to discuss the current situation. Although there is very little information for analysis and judgment, or there is almost no valuable clues, Zhang Liang almost instinctively felt the danger!
This is an intuition, an intuition that is unreasonable but extremely mysterious!
"Brother Zifang, are you strange?" Chen Ping frowned and said in a low voice, "General Xiahou has captured no less than a hundred people from the rebels in various counties and counties. Several of them are even the core figures of the rebels, such as Zhao Deng, and even the rebels' county magistrate and general of Yingchuan County, but he has never seen even a single Chu soldier."
"This can only show one problem." Zhang Liang said in a deep voice, "There are actually very few Chu troops who have invaded Wei!"
Chen Ping nodded and said deeply: "I think so, the so-called Xiang Yu, Long Qi, Fan Zeng, and 500,000 Chu troops are all Ziwuxu. In fact, the Chu army's troops may be less than 10,000, and even less. It is precisely because the Chu army has few soldiers that the situation in Liang is muddy so that the muddy waters are mocked."
"This is basically certain." Zhang Liang nodded, but his eyes never left the map, and said, "The question now is, where did this Chu army come out? Where are they hiding now? Also, what kind of fish do the Chu army want to mow the pond after muddling the water in Liangdi?"
Just when Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were puzzled, Sui He suddenly hurried in.
Suihe was the one who was in front of Liu Bang's tent (a small official responsible for reporting the letter). This person was quite capable. He once sneaked into Jiujiang alone to lobby Ying Bu, but in the end he really convinced Ying Bu to surrender Liu Bang!
"Two gentlemen." Sui He Chong bowed and said, "I have reported important situations."
Zhang Liang exchanged glances with Chen Ping and asked immediately: "Sir, tell me, what's the matter?"
Liu Bang was also awakened, and Sui He greeted Liu Bang again, and then said: "King, I just read the official documents sent by the Nanyang County Magistrate to send someone to the King's tent. I found that there was an urgent report from the magistrate of Chengyang County to the county magistrate, saying that a Han army had looted a large village in the south of the county. I think this matter is extremely suspicious!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Bang said furiously when he heard this, "It's simply nonsense."
After saying this, Liu Bang said murderously again: "Suihe, then go and check it out. What is the surname of the county magistrate of Chengyang? What is the origin of this? It is simply outrageous. He dares to ruin his reputation as a lone!"
"Don't be impatient," Zhang Liang seemed to understand a little, and immediately stabilized Liu Bang, and asked Sui He again, "Sir, when did this happen? Also, did the urgent newspaper of the county magistrate Chengyang say how many troops this Han army has?"
He nodded and said, "It was about twenty days ago, and the Han army had about ten thousand people!"
"Twenty days ago?! Ten thousand people?!" Zhang Liang clapped his hands and said anxiously, "Sir, please read the official documents sent by the magistrate of Yingchuan County to see if there is any news about this Han army?"
He bowed and took the order.
Liu Bang twisted his beard and said in confusion: "Jufang, have you discovered something?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said in an uncertain tone: "I just have some doubts, and I am not sure yet."
Even though the tent fell into silence, only the crackling sound of the burning of the pine torch was clearly heard. After about half a cup of tea, Sui Hedeng hurried back, holding two bamboo slips in his hand. As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed to Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping and said, "Master, two gentlemen, we are looking for it!"
Zhang Liang hurriedly took the bamboo slips, and when he saw that it was Kunyang and Xiangcheng County Magistrate submitted an urgent report to the magistrate of Yingchuan County. It clearly recorded that in early April, a Han army of about 10,000 people hurriedly passed by the two counties. He neither delivered the customs to the local area nor asked the counties to provide food, grass and meat.
"Xiangzhuang!" Zhang Liang covered the bamboo slips with a snap and sighed, "It's indeed Xiangzhuang!"
"Is this unlikely?" Chen Ping took the bamboo slip suspiciously, but when he saw it, his face changed drastically.
"Zifang, do you mean... more than 20 days ago, Xiang Zhuang's remnants of the Chu army had already emerged from the Dabie Mountains, and pretended to be the Han army and headed north all the way, and then took advantage of the attack and occupied Ao Cang?" Liu Bang finally reacted, and his face changed drastically, "But didn't you say that Xiang Zhuang's remnants of the Chu army had already collapsed in the mountains?"
"It's all right, and it's all right. Xiang Zhuang should undoubtedly be the one who swept Liang!" Chen Ping said, "Although I don't know how the remnants of the Chu army came out of the mountains, the one who stirred up the sky in Liang not long ago was that it was the remnants of Xiang Zhuang. Only Wei Liao, and others would never have such a big momentum!"
"But..." Liu Bang still disbelief, "Where are ten thousand people in Xiangzhuang's remnants of Chu army?"
"King, this is just a bluffing trick. Even if there are only two thousand people, as long as the distance between the marches is widened, it will give people the illusion of tens of thousands of troops!" After saying this, Chen Ping said to Zhang Liang again, "Wei Liao, it must be Wei Liao!"
"It must be him." Zhang Liang said sternly, "This person is really well-known, and he is very experienced in taking action!"
Zhang Liang still clearly remembers that after he lost in the sixth game, Fan Zeng told him that Wei Liao's chess power was especially better than him Fan Zeng!
Only Wei Liao could put such great pressure on Zhang Liang!
In an instant, a light flashed through Zhang Liang's mind. He suddenly knew what Wei Liao was going to do. After Wei Liao was disturbing the pool of water in Liangdi, he actually wanted to break the "major trend" that the Han King swept the world in one fell swoop! Just like the big game of chess against Fan Zeng, he worked hard to create the momentum, but Fan Zeng fell several times and lost all the game in an instant.
"Okay, even if it's Xiang Zhuang's son and Wei Liao, where are they going now?" Liu Bang said again.
"King, I know where Xiangzhuang is going." Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Xiangzhuang has already gone to Qidi!"
"Qidi?!" Chen Ping immediately took a breath of air conditioning when he heard this.
Chen Ping's wisdom is almost no less than Zhang Liang, and yin is even more cruel than that. Zhang Liang only mentioned Qidi, and Chen Ping guessed Xiang Zhuang's intention. Xiang Zhuang actually planned to break the general trend of the Han King sweeping the world! Is this Xiang Zhuang arrogant and ignorant, or is it really stronger in his mind? With thousands of remaining soldiers, he also wants to reverse the general trend of the world?
"Qi Land?" Liu Bang was confused when he heard it, "Why did the Chu army run to Qi Land again?"
"King, Xiang Zhuang's plan is quite big, and Wei Liao's plan is even more sophisticated!" Zhang Liang sighed, "The Chu army first fled the Dabie Mountains with a strange plan, then rushed to Ao Cang for thousands of miles, and then swept across Liang. The purpose was nothing more than to force King Liang to return. Then, while the king and all the princes pacified Liang, the Chu army rushed to Qi for thousands of miles, with the intention of forcing King Qi to return!"
"How is this possible?" Liu Bang said in a lost voice, "Xiang Zhuang only has a few thousand remaining soldiers, how can he succeed?"
Chen Ping said: "King, Xiangzhuang has only a few thousand remaining soldiers, so he has turned the world upside down?"
"Then, what should I do now?" Liu Bang took a terrifying breath. If Han Xin really wanted to bring his 300,000 troops back to Qi, it would be a big problem. Not to mention whether Han Xin himself would have a strange intention. The key is that he lost Han Xin's support, and Liu Bang's binding power on Peng Yue and Ying Bu and other princes will be greatly reduced immediately.
Zhang Liang said: "King, the most important things are two things now. First, send a large number of scouts to strictly seal all the news between Qi and Liang. The King of Qi must not let the King of Qi know about Qi. Second, immediately send generals to lead elite troops across Hebei and quickly rush to Handan to support him. I dare to assert that the next target of the Chu army is Zhao!"
Liu Bang nodded, and was about to summon Xiahou Ying to the tent, but Xiahou Ying had already stepped inside and bowed and said, "King, King Qi has something important to report!"
"It's broken!" Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this, "There has been something wrong in Qidi, and Han Xin has already received the news!"
"Oh, the chess is a big move, the chess is a big move!" Zhang Liang also sighed to the sky, "I'm still half a step slower!"
Liu Bang's face also changed drastically. He lay on the soft couch, then pulled up the white tiger skin cloak and said repeatedly: "I don't see you, I'll say I'm sick, no one sees you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xin had already strode in ps: Thanks: The last love is to let go of his hands, Gao Chu, stand tall on the top of the mountain, be in the world, return to the world in the dream, Meng Hanqiu 1982, love has no age, 30535391, sacred unicorn, story of the starry sky, zaomaomao365, thief exaggeration, Xiaoyao Bamboo, press 11, sea 2029, aloe sheep, now 267, ★Free Romance★, the ancestor of swordsmanship, do not look at the circle, walk alone on a rainy night, the blue blood sword 1, crying Xiaozi, waiting for the generous rewards from book friends, thank you very much.
