The genius mind is usually difficult to understand by ordinary people. After Liu Laosan told his decision to present Nanjun to the Western Chu army to a group of civil and military confidants, he was naturally firmly opposed by the Pei County friends except Xiao He. Fan Kuai, the injured cannonbolt, roared and roared, asking Liu Laosan if he was crazy?

There was no choice but to pull the friends of Pei County to sit down and patiently introduce to them the reasons for making this decision. He also clearly told them that if the army insisted on returning to Nanjun, there would be three huge dangers and that it would be possible to kill the remnants of the Nanyang Army at any time.

The first huge danger is of course that Li Ji, the commander of the Western Chu Army's southern line corps, who had betrayed the Nanyang Army twice. Now the Nanyang Army's strength is not enough to even plug the gap between the teeth of Li Ji, but it still controls a large area of ​​land and cities. How could Li Ji not be greedy? In addition, Xiang Kang is famous for being good at discord and rebelling, and joining forces with Li Ji, who has far surpassed his own army, is equivalent to stuffing his head under Li Ji's axe, and he may die at any time!

The second danger is that the people of Nanjun are not attached to them. Many places are the Nanyang Army, which was forced to surrender after Yingbu fled to Hanzhong. The loyalty is very low. Now the families of local officials and officials in various parts of Nanjun have fallen into Xiang Kang's clutches. If the remnants of the Nanyang Army insist on retreating to Nanjun, even if Li almost did not have any unfair intentions, it would be impossible to stop the Han army's continued attack. The Han army does not need to dispatch the main force, but only needs to send a partial army. With Yingbu's old subordinates in Nanjun, it is possible to easily kill the remnants of the Nanyang Army.

The third danger is even more terrifying. After the Nanyang Army suffered heavy damage, it was already on the verge of being destroyed. Not only did it have any effect on the Western Chu Army, but it also had to drag the Western Chu Army to protect itself. How could it be possible for Xiang Yu to tolerate this situation for a long time with Xiang Yu's bearish temper and the greed and cruelty of the senior executives of the Western Chu Army? So as long as someone fanned the flames, Xiang Yu might order him to kill him with one knife at any time and directly annex the land and city of Nanjun!

"I told you all the truth, I believe you all understand that we can't keep Nanjun anyway, and we may turn against each other because of Nanjun and the Western Chu army. Since that's the case, why don't we be more happy and take the initiative to give Nanjun to the Western Chu army? As long as Xiang Yu is happy, can he treat us badly? With his power, we will start from scratch, will we make a comeback soon?"

After much quarrel, Liu Laosan finally convinced the Peixian friends who lived and died with him, so that they no longer objected to their helpless decisions. However, Han Xin did not say a word and looked very dissatisfied. Liu Laosan saw his disdain and asked: "General, do you think I am wrong? If you are sure to defend Nanjun, you can directly say that I can also reconsider the decision just now."

"If we can control and command the Western Chu army, relying on the natural danger of the Han River, our ministers will have the confidence to fight against the Han thieves." The Han thief replied.

"General, if you can do this, how could I decide to give the remaining land and city to the Western Chu army?" Liu Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't keep it a secret, just say it, do you agree with doing this?"

"My subordinates can not object." Han Xin replied: "But my subordinates must remind you two points. First, you and the King of Western Chu have had some holidays before, so why don't he ask you to settle the old accounts? Second, what kind of temper is that Xiang Yu? I believe you know that king. If you want to make a comeback in his account, it is not that easy."

"I am not afraid of clearing the old accounts. I will give him so much city land and population. If he still wants to find me to settle the old accounts, who will dare to follow him in the future? No matter how confused Xiang Yu is, he will not understand this principle."

Liu Laosan replied calmly and said, "I know what kind of temper Xiang Yu is, of course I know, but I am really not afraid of dealing with him. This ordinary man is much easier to deal with than the little traitor of Xiang Kang. I only need to think of a little solution, so it is definitely not difficult for him to follow my advice."

After dealing with Liu Laosan for so long, Han Xin certainly knew that Liu Laosan was not bragging about what he said, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since you have such confidence and confidence, your subordinates do not object."

It was also coincidental that just as he had unified this difficult decision, Li Ji sent someone to urge Liu Laosan to go out of the city and retreat to the Hanshui as soon as possible. Liu Laosan sneered and whispered: "Did you hear it? I can't wait. Hu Yang has a way to retreat directly to the territory of Xi Chu, but this ordinary man didn't think about returning to the local territory. He took the initiative to go south with us to Nanjun, so anxious that his paws were stretched out in his throat."

After sneering, Liu Laosan still stood up and walked out while casually saying, "From now on, I can't call me the king for the time being. Just like before, I'd better call me Pei Gong."

Immediately afterwards, a shocking event happened in Huyang. Liu Laosan, the King of Nanyang who was once powerful and said to be the only King of Nanyang who had never suffered a loss in front of Xiang Kang, used his lack of virtue and talent, had no confidence and no strength to continue to resist the invasion of the Han army. He decided to give all the remaining city and land to Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu in exchange for Xiang Yu's intake and appointment. He also asked Li Ji, the commander of the Southern Front Corps of the Western Chu Army, to represent the Western Chu army, to accept his seal of the King of Nanyang and the documents of the Chinese dedication on the spot.

Seeing that Liu Laosan was so well-behaved and was indeed already beating Princess Nan County, Li Ji was of course ecstatic and quickly humbled her. Finally, after Liu Laosan repeatedly asked, Li Ji took the seal of the King of Nanyang, and Liu Laosan ordered all local military officials of the Nanyang Army to change the name of the Western Chu State to accept the orders and commands of the Western Chu Army. Then Liu Laosan made another decision, intending to lead his remaining army directly from Huyang to the east to the Western Chu land to join Xiang Yu, and asked Lu Jia and several other civil officials to accompany Li Ji to the south to help Li Ji take over the remaining land, cities and local troops of the Nanyang Army.

Because Liu Laosan was left with only more than a thousand defeated soldiers and generals, whether to follow the Western Chu army to continue south has no effect? ​​After pretending to keep it for a few words, Li Ji nodded and agreed to Liu Laosan's decision. Then, at Liu Laosan's request, he personally picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Xiang Yu, introducing Liu Laosan's kindness and righteous act of taking the initiative to offer the city and accept land, and urged Xiang Yu to take this matter to do not treat Liu Laosan who is aware of the knowledge and tactful person.

Near noon, the remnants of the Nanyang Army and the Western Chu Army's South Line Corps officially parted ways. When they were about to leave, Liu Laosan hugged and cried with General Li Ji who had been fighting side by side for a long time. The scene was touching. During this period, Li Ji was still grinning in his heart and said, "You are smart, so you can avoid the general from taking action. Next, as long as you use the Han River to block the Han thieves and persevere until our king's reinforcements stab the Han thieves in the back, Nanjun will be my king's future!"

"Don't be too happy too early." Liu Laosan also sneered in his heart and said, "If I take my army to retreat through the Han River and organize the manpower and material resources of Nanjun to help you resist the Han thieves, Xiang Kang's little traitor may not be in a hurry to go south. But I heard that I left and gave you all the remaining city and land. Xiang Kang's traitor will definitely go south immediately and completely kill you!"

…………

The distance was too far and I didn't have time to put a fine liner in Huyang in advance. After more than four days, Xiang Kang and others were stunned to know the situation. In addition to being unbelievable, Xiang Kang had to sigh: "I have been convinced by Liu Jipi. I know that even if I pass the Han River, I will definitely die. I either die in our hands or in the hands of Li Jipi. I can actually come up with such a way to escape, save my life and hope of making a comeback. I really don't admire it."

"Don't worry, Liu Jipin did this just to save his life. He wanted to make a comeback. I'm afraid there would never be any hope." Wu Shi, an old man from Shangshan, bowed and said, "Don't forget that King Xiang Yu of Western Chu has actually known the affairs of Hangu Pass for a long time. Even if he doesn't want to pursue it, he will never be able to reuse Liu Jipin. It's amazing that he will grant a free position to let Liu Jipin support him. We don't have to worry about the threat of this man anymore."

"Mr. Qiliji, I'm afraid you're taking it for granted this time. You underestimate the treacherous gangsters around Liu Jipian and my brother." Xiang Kang sneered and said blindly: "If nothing unexpected happens, my uncle Ji, Master Xiang, will definitely make a fortune."

"It's a sure thing." Zhang Liang took over the conversation and said, "Cao Ju is already dead among the three most trusted confidants of the King of Western Chu. With Yafu's intelligence, it's not impossible to see that Liu Ji can be of great use. Then, as long as Liu Ji's husband bribes Master Xiang and speaks good things for him, it's hard to make a fortune without being in the King of Western Chu."

Wu Shi, who didn't know Master Xiang was a little unbelievable, but seeing that Xiang Kang and Zhang Liang were not joking, Wu Shi could only change his words and asked, "King, since that's the case, what should we do?"

"It's too far apart, and there's no way to destroy it. I can only find a way when the two armies confront each other in the future." Xiang Kang answered helplessly, and said, "Since Liu Jipfu slipped away in advance, we can only go south quickly and let Ding Ji lead 20,000 troops south, first seize Dengxian and Shandu on the north bank of the Han River, gather ships to prepare for ferry, and then wait for Li Shang and Ying Bu's troops to arrive in Deng County, and immediately launch ferry, and do not give the Western Chu bandit army a chance to gain a foothold in Nanjun."

After saying that, Xiang Kang turned to Wu Shi and said, "Mr. Qiliji, the chief officials in various parts of Nanjun are in Wancheng, and Yingbu also has many old subordinates in Nanjun. We must be the best at seizing Nanjun. Ding Ji and Li Shang are not good at this. Thank you for your hard work, and follow Ding Ji to lead the army south to help them deal with these problems."

Wu Shi immediately agreed with his fists, and Xiang Kangze said: "Our main force will continue to rest in Wancheng and be prepared to fight my brother. Although it is not possible for my brother to continue to enter Yingchuan and Nanyang without the money and food provided by Liu Jipian, it is no longer great that my brother will continue to enter Yingchuan and Nanyang, but we have to guard against him being furious and come to us desperately."

The progress of the Han army's southern expedition this time was too rapid. The main force of the Western Chu army led by Xiang Yu was too far away from Nanyang. After about ten days, Xiang Kang received accurate news. He learned that Xiang Yu personally led his army across Chen County and was coming to Ye County at the junction of Yingchuan and Nanyang. When Xiang Kang heard this, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly led the main force of the Han army to return to Ye County to fight against Xiang Yu. At the same time, he ordered Zheng Bu and Li Zuoche, who were left at the Puyang battlefield, to take the opportunity to advance to attack Dingtao, and let his overlord cousin be attacked from both sides.

Three days later, the main force of the Han army returned to the city of Yangcheng. When the army set up a camp to rest, Chen Ping suddenly came to Xiang Kang with a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to say to Xiang Kang as soon as he met: "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King, Zhou Prime Minister sent someone to send an urgent report from Guanzhong. Guanzhong is very mature this year, and all the counties in the Neishishi counties have a bumper harvest. We will no longer have to worry about food and grass next year."

"Good thing." Xiang Kang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Grain is the foundation of the country. If the grain harvest in Guanzhong is good, we will have more confidence to fight the Western Chu thieves."

"It's not only that." Chen Ping shook his head and smiled happily, "Master, guess, after using the curved plow you created yourself, the human plow and the foot-pedal plow, what is the average grain yield per mu in Guanzhong this year?"

"How much more is it produced?" Xiang Kang asked curiously, and said: "I remember that since the Zheng Guo Canal was dug, the grain yield per mu in Guanzhong was about one hour (two hundred kilograms). How much is this year?"

"One and a half! One acre of land has collected half a minute and one hundred kilograms more than the usual scenes in the past!" Chen Ping replied excitedly, and quickly said: "Also, Zhou Prime Minister also reported that the capital of Guizhou in Guanzhong is so happy that it is dying. It is said that you are the god of agriculture in heaven, so that they will no longer have to worry about being hungry. After the autumn harvest, many places have taken the initiative to build a temple for you and burn incense and worship."

Xiang Kang laughed and said, "I don't like this thing about the ancestral temple. I'm not particularly fond of Zhou's prime minister and asked him to arrange officials to persuade and stop them, so that the Guishou in Guanzhong will save money and grain to improve his life. Also, remember to use the field method to reclaim this year's grain-growing land next year. By the autumn next year, the Guishou in Guanzhong will definitely be happier."

Chen Ping quickly agreed, and then presented Xiang Kang with the report on the harvest of Guanzhong grain sent by Zhou Zeng to Xiang Kang for a look. When Xiang Kang saw it, Chen Ping lowered his voice again and said, "King, there is another thing that you may not be happy after listening to. The secret reports from his subordinates in Guanzhong were some of the old ministers of the tyrant Qin, some of whom were ready to move. In addition, the ministers also received accurate news that the deposed Qin prince Ziying had had secret contact with the outside world, and this seemed to have not been noticed by the Prime Minister Zhou, Lieutenant Chao and Xianyang Order."

Xiang Kang calculated and asked after a while: "Who is the eyeliner you put next to Ziying? What is his identity?"

The spy chief Chen Ping whispered to answer the identity and name he had placed next to Ziying. Xiang Kang nodded and then thought about it before he raised his voice and said, "It's pitiful that the deposed Qin Prince Ying is just a few days after he succeeded to the throne. After surrendering, he was so obedient. He was placed under house arrest all day long and could not even leave the door. Let's do this, give Zhou Prime Minister a document, and say that this year's Dafeng of Guanzhong is a blessing from God. We must thank God for our kind gifts to us, and ask him to hold a ceremony for sacrifice to heaven on behalf of the king in Xianyang. At that time, Ziying will also attend. We also ask Ziying what requirements do you have in terms of daily life, as long as it is reasonable, try to satisfy it."

"Master, what do you mean?" Chen Ping asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Xiang Kang asked with a smile.

After all, it was the worm in Xiang Kang's belly, and he was a master who was a master of conspiracy and tricks in the world. After a little calculation, Chen Ping understood what Xiang Kang meant, and nodded quickly and said, "My subordinates understand, please rest assured, you will not miss your big deal."

Xiang Kang nodded and said casually: "Also, after Wang Ling took over Dai County, didn't Zhang Han's family move back to Xianyang? Ask your person to come forward and contact Zhang Han's nephew Zhang Zhi to see if he is interested in contacting those old people in Qinting and keeping abreast of the old people in Qinting for us. If he agrees, he will secretly seal him as a doctor and let him do things for you."

"King, isn't this a bit dangerous?" Chen Ping said with some concern: "Although Zhang Han's family is your relative, they were very hostile to you before. Will Zhang Zhi backfire on such a thing?"

"What are you afraid of? How big a storm can a little loach cause?" Xiang Kang asked with a smile, and said, "This is also the opportunity I give this brother-in-law. If he is not willing to seize such an opportunity, he will never have any chance to advance in the future."

Chen Ping bowed his hands and sang to himself, and Xiang Kangze said to himself: "If my brother is still smart and chooses to withdraw his troops after knowing the situation of Nanyang and Yingchuan, I should go back to Guanzhong. There are some hidden dangers, the sooner I eliminate them, the better."
