Chapter 15 The World Situation(2/2)

Xiang Bo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Second brother, if our army attacks Wei, the main force will definitely be all out. If Han Xin suddenly emerges from the Yangtze River north, what if he does?" Xiang Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at Fan Zeng, and Fan Zeng smiled and said, "No need to worry too much. The war in Chen County will be quelled soon. At that time, Long Qi can lead troops south to guard Jiujiang Linhuai (Xuyi). If Han Xin invades north, Long Qi can lead troops to help Zhao Gong resist him! With Long Qi's talent, you should be fine!"

Uncle Xiang thought about it and didn't believe that Han Xin, a yellow-haired child, was more powerful than a dragon, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Liu Bang turned back to the mansion thoughtfully, called his personal soldiers, and whispered: "Go, please ask General Fan and General Cao to come, and I will send someone to inform Mr. Chen to come and discuss matters!" "Now!" The soldier responded and went quickly.

Just as Liu Bang was walking back and forth indoors, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Lord, why are you calling me?" Liu Bang looked back and saw that it was Fan Kuai, the confidant general, who let Cao Wushang go, and hurriedly said, "Here you come, sit down quickly, I have a request to discuss with you!"

Fan Kuai was tall, with a black face and a mane, and a man who killed pigs and dogs in Pei County was extremely brave. Later, Liu Bang raised an army in Feng County, north of Pei County, and Fan Kuai sued him. Because of his bravery in combat and loyal nature, Liu Bang regarded him as his confidant.

Cao Wushang, a warrior from the mountains and fields, was tall and long, and his body was majestic. Especially his face and red eyes were all famous. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had great military skills and was loyal to Liu Bang. He was also a general who was confidant of Liu Bang.

The second general sat down and looked at Liu Bang. Liu Bang smiled and said, "Wait for a moment, Mr. Chen Nan said!" As soon as he finished speaking, a young man smiled and said, "Lord summoned us today. It seems that something big must be done!" Liu Bang looked back and saw that this man was handsome, with a big earlobe, with a straight nose and a gentle look, but his eyes were foggy, which made it difficult to see through. It was military advisor Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was from Huyou Township, Yangwu County, Henan Province. He studied hard since childhood and was famous in the village. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, Chen Ping, who was dissatisfied with Qin's tyranny, wanted to surrender to Chen Sheng. Wu Guang. Unexpectedly, before he arrived in Nanyang, he heard that Fusu had returned to the Central Plains, and Chen Sheng transferred Zhou Wen. The two armies of Zhou City returned to defend Nanyang. Knowing that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would be defeated, he wanted to surrender to another place. Soon, he heard that Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were so powerful that they were shocked on the Huai River and admired the descendants of the two of them as famous generals.

He came to join the army happily. Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang could not see Chen Ping's talent at all and did not want to use it. However, Liu Bang knew people with good eyes and thought that Chen Ping had great talents, so he asked Xiang Liang for Chen Ping as his aide. Xiang Liang agreed to him, so Chen Ping was under Liu Bang's command. Since he got under Liu Bang's command, Liu Bang obeyed Chen Ping and was very close to him. Since then, Chen Ping has returned to his heart and is dedicated to assisting Liu Bang. Of course, Chen Ping has not liked the Xiang family very much since then.

"Sir, please sit down quickly!" Liu Bang quickly filled with smiles and greeted him warmly.

Chen Ping did not refuse, so he sat down opposite Fan Kuai and Cao Wushang.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Bang waved his hand, and his personal soldiers bowed and retreated.

"Today's discussion, we happened to encounter an opportunity. Perhaps it is a good opportunity for us to strengthen our forces!" Liu Bang also sat down and explained the matters discussed today in detail, and then said: "What do you think of this?"

Fan Kuai smiled and said, "Fan will never refuse the charge, but the lord should ask General Cao and Mr. Chen for this brain-making matter!" As he said that, he drank on his own.

Liu Bang also knew that Fan Kuai was a brave general and did not understand strategy, so he looked at Cao Wushang and Chen Ping.

Cao Wushang thought for a while and said, "The lord has always been unsuccessful under Xiang Liang's command and is difficult to take power. Although he became a brother with Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang has always been on guard against his lord. This attack on Wei State is a good opportunity. If he can win the position of commanding the army, he can cultivate his confidants and gain military power. Maybe he can even seize the territory of Wei and make a comeback!"

Liu Bang's eyes lit up, and suddenly darkened again, and said with a wry smile: "Xiang Liang has always been very cautious about me, how can he let me lead the troops?" Chen Ping smiled at this time, "Why worry lord, lord? If you want to take this opportunity to gain military power, it will be a small task for someone!"

Liu Bang was overjoyed and said anxiously: "It's great, sir, please teach me!" Chen Ping smiled and said: "Long Qi leads troops outside to fight, and will soon go south to Linhuai. Then Long Qi cannot command the battle against Wei. Except Long Qi who can stand alone, the rest of Xiang Liang's command are ordinary people and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of attacking Wei. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the only one who commands this battle against Wei is Xiang Liang.

However, the situation in the court of Chu State is relatively subtle now. Song Yi, the general of the lower pillar, and Huan Chu, were both dissatisfied with Xiang Liang's sovereignty and manipulating the government. He has been fighting openly and secretly with him. In this case, Xiang Liang must be worried that Song Yi and Huan Chu may have some changes after he leaves, so he is unlikely to go out in person this time. Then the candidate for commanding the battle against Wei is very clear, and it must be Xiang Yu! However, if Xiang Yu had some accident at this time, the person who commanded the army must be the lord!" As he said, a sinister strange color flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.

Although Liu Bang was happy when he heard this, he hesitated and said, "It's just that Xiang Yu and I are sworn brothers, how can we harm him? And if the matter is leaked, my life will be over!" Chen Ping smiled disapprovingly and said, "There are so many things in the world that we have to do, how many of them can really be! I think the lord was just to protect himself under Xiang Liang's command! And this time, my intention was not to plot to murder Xiang Yu, but to trip him up!"

"Oh!" Liu Bang was relieved and asked quickly, "What good plans do you have?" Chen Ping's mouth flashed with a sneer and said, "Isn't Xiang Yu so much that he loves the woman named Yu Ji? Oh, I have seen that Yu Ji, who is so beautiful, I feel pity for him!" Cao Wushang, Fan Kuai also looked fascinated when he heard this, and he was even more disgusted with a grudge. Liu Bang was even more hungry. Hearing this, his eyes shone, and he couldn't help swallowing, saying, "That Xiang Yu is such a lucky beauty. Such a beautiful beauty actually fell in love with him!"

Chen Ping continued: "If Yu Ji suddenly fell ill at this time, would you guess Xiang Yu still have the intention to go to war?" Chen Ping looked meaningful.

Liu Bang was so impressed that he laughed sinisterly, raised his thumb and praised: "Gao, sir, it's such a strange thing!"

Chen Ping was also a little proud and said with a smile: "But just putting down Yu Ji is not enough to make the lord truly a commander. There are two more jobs to do. First, after Yu Ji fell ill, the lord must visit him frequently, bring some good tonics to cure the disease, and act like a deep affectionate look with Xiang Yuyi. In this way, Xiang Yu would inevitably plead for the lord in front of Xiang Liang when he was unwilling to go to war. Second, the lord immediately secretly visited Song Yi, Huan Chu and others, gave heavy gifts, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Liang and the intention of surrendering to the two. In this way, the lord has more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, and then Song Yi and Huan Chu must be happy. When Xiang Liang asked the King of Chu to make the lord the lord the commander, the two of them would not object! In this way, a great thing will be accomplished!"

Chen Ping is worthy of being the "conspirator" who is on par with Zhang Liang. His mind is indeed dense and vicious!

Liu Bang was overjoyed and said, "It's great. It's a blessing for Bang to have a help from his husband! By the way, how can he make Yu Ji suddenly fall ill without arousing others' suspicion? However, don't kill the beauty. Keep this beauty, Xiang Yu will have a fatal point in his life!" Liu Bang was also sinister enough.

Chen Ping smiled slightly and said, "This trick is left to Chen Ping, so I can guarantee it to be done. The lord should prepare tonics and be prepared to deal with Xiang Yu, Song Yi, and Huan Chu!" Liu Bang nodded, and at this time he was relieved. He quickly raised his wine glass in front of him and said, "If Bang can achieve great things in the future, he will never forget it. Please drink this cup full!" Chen Ping and the other two dared not be negligent, so they drank it all in one go, and then laughed.

Within a few days, Yu Ji fell ill and Xiang Yu became anxious. He visited again and sent medicine to Liu Bang won Xiang Yu's trust.

Looking at Xiang Yu who was not interested in fighting, Xiang Liang had to turn his attention to Liu Bang. Indeed, there was no other general under Xiang Liang's command who could stand alone except Liu Bang. So, under the guidance of Xiang Yu, Song Yi, and Huan Chu, Liu Bang successfully controlled the military power. However, Xiang Liang was also guarding against Liu Bang and sent his confidants Zhu Jishi and Yu Fanjun to Liu Bang as the deputy general. Although Liu Bang knew it well, he was helpless!

Soon, the Chu envoy who was staggering all the way was far from reaching Daliang, and then the news came that Wei Bao personally led 80,000 Wei troops to attack Dang County. Xiang Liang did not dare to be negligent and immediately ordered Liu Bang to lead 70,000 elite troops to set off westward, reinforce Dang County, and destroy Wei State together.

Along the way, Liu Bang adopted Chen Ping's plan, hid in the morning and walked at night. Ten days later, suddenly sneaked out of Mangdang Mountain and appeared under the city of Dang County like a divine weapon descending from the sky. The Wei army was caught off guard and had been besieging Dang County for seven or eight days, and was exhausted. He was then attacked by Liu Bang's army and Peng Yue's army. He collapsed in an all-out manner. There were only less than 20,000 Wei troops left, and he fled back to Wei at night.
