Chapter 271: Another 4000 words of personal solicitation)
The Chu-Han War I knew in my previous life was that it took me four years to finish it. Now, although Xiang Yu was on the surface, Ying Gao always had a premonition in his heart that Liu Bang was definitely not a good guy.
Although he is now a vanguard under Xiang Yu's command, if he doesn't kill him earlier, no one will be sure of what happened in the future.
Xiao He saw that Ying Gao was obviously another careful decision, and he immediately understood that there was no need to persuade him anymore, and it would be useless to persuade him again.
"Your Majesty, I just don't know who you are going to lead to this in person?"
Ying Gao pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao He again, and said slowly: "The many generals in Xianyang City are enough, but between you and Meng Yi, I want to leave him in Xianyang to take charge of the overall situation, and the other person follows me to Chen County. Do you think, who should stay and who should go?"
Xiao He didn't expect Ying Gaoneng to ask him directly about this question. Of course he knew that once Ying Gao went to Chen County, Feng Quji, the big man who stayed in Xianyang City, would be considered a person.
However, due to various historical reasons, although Feng Quji has always firmly occupied the position of the right prime minister, the real power is still quite different from Meng Yi. In addition, after Ying Gao became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he did not suppress Meng Yi, but instead was granted the title of Taiwei. Therefore, Meng Yi's current position in the court is below one person and above ten thousand people. All the officials in the Qin Dynasty were convinced by him.
But further, since Ying Gao truly controlled the Qin Dynasty's court, the smallest group of the most secret things were still controlled by the left prime minister Xiao He. In addition to the little things that the left prime minister needed to do, Xiao He was almost responsible to Ying Gao alone.
Everyone in the Qin Dynasty also knew about this fact. Fortunately, these two people were not very competitive with power, so they had been peaceful. After all, Meng Yi also knew in his heart that it was an unexpected surprise for him to be the Grand Marshal. As a human being, you can't ask too much, otherwise the things in his hand would have to be gone.
If this was based on Ying Gao's past habit, Xiao He would definitely be the responsibility of serving as a military advisor. But Xiao He also knew that since Ying Gao asked this, he actually wanted Meng Yi to follow him and ask himself, maybe he was just to see if he could be the mainstay in Xianyang City.
After all, the crisis in the north has not been resolved. Once the Huns have any sudden movements, for Meng Tian, who is guarding Shangjun, Xiao He will definitely not be able to take charge of the overall situation in Xianyang, but his own brother Meng Yi will be able to connect with it easily.
"If the Lord General, He stayed in Xianyang City, He would definitely not disappoint the Lord!"
Obviously, as the person involved, he could not provide any advice to Ying Gao. Although according to the current situation, Xiao He also knew that what Ying Gao trusted the most was himself and the Zhu family, but the things he took on were not what he was good at, nor was he trying to do.
"Okay, with your words, I know what I said. Tomorrow, you can act according to my arrangements. This time, you must not go to the war like the last time..."
"Your Majesty, according to General Wang Li's letter, our army has not built a slight warship in the past half a year. Therefore, if Xiang Yu fled back to Jiangdong this time, we will still be helpless. You can't personally supervise the construction of warships on the riverside. These matters should be considered before you go."
What is a irresponsible word? Isn’t this a irresponsible word?
Xiao He's meaning was very clear, that is, don't be blinded by the news, and then go there with great fanfare, and they patted their butts back to Jiangdong. Then you can still be anxious on the shore. At that time, the Emperor of Qin will be greatly disgraced.
Ying Gao would not be angry about this. The reason why he kept Xiao He's meticulous and quick-responsive person by his side was that once he really did, his misfortune would be a big deal as Xiao He said. If Xiao He reminded everything, Ying Gao could also spur himself at all times and make himself a good emperor who can leave his name in history, right?
"It's okay, I have already made arrangements for this matter, and it will not be an obstacle to the attack on Xiang Yu this time."
Seeing that Ying Gao's thinking was as impeccable as before, Xiao He nodded secretly. He knew that as Ying Gao's control over Da Qin became stronger and stronger, he could not hide beside Ying Gao and do things behind the scenes.
Feng Quji is getting older and older. In less than a few years, he has to give up his position as the right prime minister. Xiao He can see that Ying Gao wants to become the only prime minister of the Great Qin Empire when the Qin Dynasty was truly in a peaceful and prosperous era. The important task of governing the Great Qin will eventually be put on himself to carry out the responsibility.
So this time, Ying Gao wanted to transfer Meng Yi, who has always been the mainstay in Xianyang Palace, so he must be consciously training himself.
Since he was no longer on the ranks of this battle, Xiao He knew that Ying Gao would not tell him too much about his plans for this battle. His focus should be shifted to the court of Daqin. After all, without Ying Gao in charge, it would not be easy to handle the matter of Daqin well.
After Xiao He left, Ying Gao was not idle for a moment. He picked up his pen and wrote a letter. He then pretended carefully and handed it over to the Zhu family, urging the Zhu family to send a loyal guard who had no problem to deliver the letter. After finishing the work, he changed his clothes and sent someone to invite Meng Yi, Zhang Han, Chen Ying and others.
Ying Gao's Xianyang Palace was a bit messy. It was occupied by Wang Li for many days before, but now it has finally returned to the Shouchun City in Xiang Yu's hands. It was still very lively.
According to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang's arrangements and plans for several months, Xiang Yu almost did not spend much troops and defeated Wang Li, and killed 50,000 elite soldiers from the Qin Dynasty. There were only a dozen Qin soldiers who died under Xiang Yu's military front. This battle can be said to be the most exciting battle that Xiang Yu fought.
After capturing Shouchun, Xiang Yu was still very confident. On the day he captured Shouchun, he had already set his sights on Chen County, not far from Shouchun.
However, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang rejected Xiang Yu's idea in unison. They told Xiang Yu that the reason why he could use troops that were not very superior this time completely defeated Wang Li's 50,000 troops was the result of several months of arrangement that made Wang Li separate the troops and had long been careless.
Now they have just captured Shouchun, and Wang Li has fled to Chen County. This is the time when Chen County's guards are the most solid. Even if they barely defeated Chen County, it would be difficult to defend.
Xiang Yu could still hear this, so he did not advance rashly, but recruited soldiers and horses on other large areas of land in Shouchun and Jiujiang County, intending to expand his power.
On this day, Xiang Yu was still discussing their next plan with Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang. Obviously, when they arrived in Shouchun again, the situation they faced was different from the army led by Xiang Liang before.
If you advance like Xiang Liang, and if the front line is too long and the troops are insufficient, the final result will be to be defeated by Ying Gao again. In that case, it will be very difficult to make a comeback.
Faced with such a situation, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang were also very hesitant. They were not afraid of taking risks, but they also knew that Ying Gao would not prepare for them too long this time. Once Xianyang City learned that Wang Li's general was wiped out, they would definitely take action. Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang knew very well in their hearts.
At the moment when the three of them were analyzing the pros and cons of various methods, a guard of Xiang Yu quietly entered the house. It was obvious that there was an urgent matter to report. After looking at Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang, he gave Xiang Yu an inquiring look.
"There are only three people here, all of whom I trust the most. What's the matter, but it's okay."
"I don't know when last night, Liu Bang, who was settled in the Pioneer Camp by the Major General, and his men under him, took away nearly 8,000 soldiers from the Pioneer Camp. When we found out, Liu Bang no longer knew where he was going..."
"Liu Bang? How dare this guy carry me and even took away eight thousand soldiers of our army?"
Obviously, Xiang Yu's first reaction to this news was that he was a little unbelievable. What kind of role Liu Bang was, he was just a person who only cared about comfort and enjoyment, and took his group of brothers to spend time in the county. If he wanted to say that he took the eight thousand soldiers under his command ran away, Xiang Yu naturally didn't believe it. No matter where you run, could you find another place that was more comfortable than in Kuaiji County?
"That's right, and this person must have planned it. Last night, the fog was covered in the river. The military camp where the pioneers were also affected by the fog, and their vision was extremely bad. When the fog had dissipated before, we counted the number of people and realized that Liu Bang had no idea where he was going."
"This guy! I'm really too damning. If I teach me to catch this guy again, I will definitely kill you!"
After finally winning a battle without spending much money, Liu Bang made this for himself behind his back. Xiang Yu was really frustrated and thought to himself that I would treat you as a brother and let you enjoy life on my territory. How could you do this for me?
After hearing this, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang looked at each other. Although they were also shocked, it was obvious that their expressions were not as exaggerated as Xiang Yu, and they both had a little bit of sudden enlightenment.
"The Major General calmed down. Judging from what happened now, Liu Bang's escape was not a temporary intention. I'm afraid that since he participated in the Xue County Alliance, he had such thoughts in his mind..."
Zhang Liang sighed, looked at Xiang Yu, and said slowly. Fan Zeng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. His thoughts were exactly the same as what Zhang Liang said.
If Liu Bang hadn't escaped today, they would have regarded him as a young leader who just wanted to follow the anti-Qin forces and was free from food and drink.
But now Liu Bang ran away, not only took away all the brothers from Peixian who followed him, but also took away a total of 8,000 people. If he had always wanted to enjoy himself under Xiang Yu's command, he would have no reason to run away when Xiang Yu's situation is in great condition.
And what is this? Xiang Yu followed Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang's advice and brought all the leaders of small forces like Liu Bang out of Jiangdong. The so-called Pioneer Camp was nothing more than the suicide squad used by Xiang Yu to charge into battle. Liu Bang and the brothers he brought out from Pei County were also arranged by Xiang Yu to be a general in the Pioneer Camp.
This time in the battle with Wang Li, with this Pioneer Camp, the Jiangdong children under Xiang Yu's own command did not lose much, and the losses were basically borne by the Pioneer Camp.
Xiang Yu was quite happy with such an effect, but Liu Bang took away eight thousand directly, and the remaining number in the Pioneer Camp was less than ten thousand, and it would not have such a big effect in the next battle.
"This guy... is really a scheming person? But at this time, the Qin soldiers were already huge, with only 8,000 people. What tricks could he draw on this huge Central Plains?"
Xiang Yu thought about what Liu Bang did and found that Liu Bang was really too scheming. If he hadn't kidnapped his eight thousand people away, wouldn't he have been paralyzed?
"This guy's mind is mostly lurking in my Kuaiji County, secretly observing the power of the Major General in Kuaiji County. If one day the Major General is negligent, this guy's goal is very big. Fortunately, this guy made him charge in the vanguard camp this time. This guy probably found that we would not give him a great opportunity in the future. Then he decided to stop and instigate the eight thousand soldiers to rebel, and he didn't know where he went."
Although Fan Zeng did not say it directly, in his opinion, Liu Bang's original ultimate goal was to replace Xiang Yu's position in Kuaiji County, but he found that Xiang Yu was not as young and reckless as he looked, so he had to change it into such a bad strategy.
After seeing Xiang Yu listening to his words, Fan Zeng fell into deep thought and knew that he had put away his contempt for Liu Bang.
