Chapter 342 Meeting in Guanzhong (10)

In the evening, Liu Bang finally got the anger he had held in his heart.

He was chatting and laughing in the military chariot, not like a man who had just suffered a crushing defeat. He often joked with Zhou Ke and Zhou Bo.

Zhang Liang followed behind, looking at Liu Bang's back, and suddenly felt an inexplicable relaxation.

Being able to take it, being able to let it go... Maybe this is an important reason why I chose to follow Liu Bang.

This is a kind of demeanor of a man, and it will not blind the eyes for a temporary victory or defeat. Especially after seeing Liu Bang recovered from his anger, everyone was also excited. Zhang Liang smiled, nodded slightly, and then slapped forward and came to Liu Bang's side.

When Zhou Ke and Zhou Bo saw it, they hurriedly retreated aside.

"Zifang, after we arrive at Xiaoguan, we will immediately withdraw from Guanzhong."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but be stunned, "Why, I won't observe the situation anymore?"

Liu Bang smiled and shook his head, "Zifang, you don't understand the Liu family. That's a guy who is extremely tolerant... But once he starts to act, he will not leave any flaws for us. Ten years ago, Yongchi and I tried to force him to hand over the foundation of Peixian. Unexpectedly, in just one night, Yongchi died and the county magistrate turned against me. I fled Peixian with the others before I met you."

This seems to have happened more than ten years ago!

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly, "Liang still remembers the scene back then."

Liu Bang said: "If you continue to stay in Guanzhong and wait for the illusory result to come out, it is better to withdraw from Guanzhong immediately and defend Nanyang firmly.

Otherwise, if we wait for the Liu family to free up our hands, we will be in trouble if we want to retreat again.

There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, although there are only more than one thousand people left. But with the Li Shang department of Xiaoguan, there are more than 20,000 people, which is enough for us to recover in Nanyang County. I know that Zifang is in trouble and will lead to Liu Kan... That's useless, how can Liu Kan be as you wish?

Rather than doing this, it is better to let us bear this reputation.

Let’s not talk about anything else, at least among the princes of Shandong, if we enter Guanzhong and plan to kill Qin II, it can be considered a great achievement."

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and felt that this was also a solution.

It is indeed a pity that you cannot gain a foothold in Guanzhong, but being able to gain a foothold in Chu is not a bad choice, and it seems to be a bad one.

Seeing the setting sun shone, Liu Bang ordered the speed of the journey.

When it was about a hundred miles away from Xiaoguan, a group of people appeared in front of him, blocking Liu Bang and others' way.

"But Marquis Wu'an face?"

When Liu Bang looked carefully, he was Li Shang, a general who stayed at Xiaoguan.

He couldn't help but feel strange and stepped forward by carriage, "Li Shang, you are not in Xiaoguan, why are you here?"

Li Shang was stunned and quickly got off his horse and walked up. After intervening and saying, "Mr. Wu'an, didn't you send someone to deliver a letter and say that the battle situation ahead is urgent, so did you order me to lead my troops to support me? I got the news at noon and immediately led my troops to come over. You are..."

After hearing this, Liu Bang's face changed drastically.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Liang, but saw that Zhang Liang had a gray face.

"It seems that he was really criticized by Wu'anhou!"

Zhang Liang said softly, then shouted sternly: "Li Shang, you and Zhou Bo set off immediately and led their troops back to Xiaoguan overnight. I and Wu'an Hou will arrive later."

Li Shang was not a fool either. First, he saw Liu Bang and others looking ugly, and then after hearing what Zhang Liang said, he didn't know that he was fooled... He suddenly became angry and turned over and led his troops with Zhou Bo. Four thousand Chu troops left like lightning.

"Mr. Wu'an, the situation seems not very good!"

Liu Bang smiled bitterly, "I feel like I'm back ten years ago, after our plan for Liu Kan failed, we were anxious like a broken dog. This method is so familiar. Ten years ago, I was forced by Liu Kan and had no way out."

That's right, ten years ago, Liu Kan's planner was Tang Li.

Ten years later, Liu Bang will face Tang Li's three measures once again...

Qiang, Liu Bang pulled out the sword.

But he frightened Zhou Ke and rushed forward, "Pei Gong, you must not!"

However, Liu Bang ignored Zhou Ke and said with a grim expression: "The soldiers of the three armies now have enemy troops in front and pursuers behind us... If you want to escape from Guanzhong and survive, you can only fight for a bloody path. Liu Ji is willing to live and die with everyone, and he is a man. He will follow me to conquer Xiaoguan."

"Conquer Xiao Pass, conquer Xiao Pass!"

The sluggish morale returned to normal in an instant.

Zhang Liang and Zhou Ke were relieved when they saw Liu Bang's appearance: It turned out that he drew his sword not to commit suicide, but to cheer up his morale!

So, the Chu army, stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, headed towards Xiaoguan and rushed!

The Wei River rolls eastward.

The setting sun shines on the Weishui River, and the waves are covered with blood-colored light scales, exuding a twilight atmosphere.

An iron cavalry galloped along the Wei River. Above the big celestial, the character "Meng" embroidered with the big dove, and under the door flag, a young man looked solemn.

After four years, I have set foot on this familiar land of Guanzhong again, but things have changed.

"The second young master, Meiyang County is ahead!"

The young man pointed with a horse whip and said, "Immediately informed the magistrate of Meiyang County, and said that the Meng family's children were ordered to go to Xianyang to clear the emperor and avenge the family. He asked him to give up a way. The Meng family's children were very grateful... and ordered the army to go around Meiyang County and must arrive in Xianyang tonight."

"Here!"

Children of the Meng family?

How many Meng families can there be in Qinchuan, 800 miles?

This middle-aged man was Meng Tian’s second son, Mengke, who protected Ying Guo to take refuge in Sichuan.

This time he secretly traveled to Chencang with Baman and went out of Hanzhong. He held the edict written by Yingguo, and the names of the Meng family's children were said to be unobstructed. Since he launched an attack in the early morning, he has crossed the Wei River, traveled through Guoxian and Meixian County, and headed straight to Xianyang.

Officials from Guoxian and Meixian were blind to Munch's troops.

First of all, it was shocked that Bashu's troops were powerful, and 200,000 children from Sichuan entered Guanzhong. It undoubtedly had a huge deterrent effect on Guanzhong, which had empty troops. Secondly, although Meng Tian died, Meng Yi had become a dead bone, but the Meng family's reputation in Guanzhong was still very famous. Everyone knows that there are tricks in the death of Meng Tian's brothers; they all know that the death of the eldest son Fusu was even more strange.

Therefore, officials from all counties sent people to inform Munk: As long as Bashu troops did not enter the city, they would never attack Munk.

This means that from Chencang to Xianyang, Monk can move forward unimpededly. Of course, the premise is not to occupy the county town!

These officials also seem to be very clear about the current form of Guanzhong.

The Chu people first entered the pass, and now there are the children of the Meng family who want to avenge... Ying Qin's luck has really reached a storm. Where to go, we must be prepared. Compared with the Chu people, Guanzhong officials and the people are more able to accept the children of the Meng family and the Bashu soldiers. After all, Bashu has a close relationship with Guanzhong, and the children of the Meng family are more likely to be accepted.

The Meng family entered Xianyang, cleared the emperor's side, and assisted Ying Qin?

People in Guanzhong are happy to see...

The Meng family entered Xianyang and became king?

It's not unacceptable...

Anyway, officials from all over the world have a small plan in their minds. How to protect themselves and gain benefits from this unprecedented chaos? It depends on their choice! Those who are brave will follow Monk; those who are not brave will wait and see. But there is no one. At this time, under such circumstances, choose to block the troops of Bashu? That is tantamount to blocking the chariot and seeking death.

And Munch was even more anxious.

I waited for four years and lie dormant for four years...

Now, Liu Kan, the northern border, re-established the Tang Kingdom, and his destiny belongs to the destiny, has become a general of his government, taking charge of the troops and gaining a foothold. Although he is very clear about the relationship between Bashu and Tang Kingdom, Mengke can't help but become anxious. If he cannot obtain enough credit, how can he gain a foothold in the Tang Kingdom? Could it be that he has to rely on the fate of his own brothers and ancestors?

This is obviously unacceptable to the arrogant Monk.

Occupy Xianyang and defeat the Chu army, this is what he should do!

He led 30,000 troops and marched quickly. After bypassing Meiyang County, he continued to march and finally passed by the Waste Hill before the Xu hour.

"The second young master, there is a Tang King envoy blocking the way ahead."

When Monk heard this, he quickly stopped the war horse and asked someone to bring the messenger up.

"Wang Su, why are you?"

After seeing the person clearly, Monk was furious: You were originally from Bashu, why did you block your way under the banner of King Tang?

Wang Na hurriedly stepped forward to see the salute, "Second Young Master, the King of Tang has arrived in Xianyang."

"ah?"

Monk was shocked when he heard this.

Liu Kan entered Guanzhong? Why didn’t he get any news before?

"Last night, the Chu army attacked Bashang Camp, but was defeated by the Tang King.

Military advisor Tang led his troops to attack Xiaoguan, preparing to cut off the Chu army's retreat. The King of Tang asked me to come and inform me, asking the second young master to divide his troops into two groups, one to support Xiaoguan, and the other to garrison Duyou to shock those who are ill-behaved... Please make a decision quickly!"

Monk's face suddenly became unstable.

After pondering for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Ba Zhou!"

"The last one will be here!"

A man of forties, burly and steady manner came by driving a car.

"The King of Tang has arrived in Xianyang, and now we are divided into two groups. You lead our troops to Duyou to station; I lead my own cavalry to Xiaoguan to support the military advisor of Tang. In addition, I will immediately send someone to notify Miss Man, saying that the King of Tang has arrived in Xianyang and ask her to speed up the march."

Ba Zhou, whose real name was Qin Zhou, was a general of Qin Qing in his early years. Later, he followed Baman and his surname was Ba.

Baman has four great generals, including Ba Zhou. At the same time, Ba Zhou is also the person who has the most contact with Liu Kan and has the closest relationship.

Ba Zhou was stunned, "The King of Tang has arrived in Xianyang? Why is there no news at all?"

Monk smiled bitterly and said, "The king is better off using a surprise attack. This was the case in Fuping back then... I think he also entered the pass with a light cavalry, so he didn't know it. You should go to support immediately and help the king stabilize the situation in Guanzhong. I will take people to rescue Military Advisor Tang!"

Ba Zhou nodded, "Then I wish the second young master a victory!"

He knew Munch very well what he thought: such a family member was very arrogant and arrogant. If he had not made any achievements, he would be embarrassed to see the King of Tang.

Moreover, since the Tang King was attacking lightly, Monk led his army to arrive, he would inevitably be suspicious.

It’s better to come forward by yourself... After all, Ba Zhou is a member of Baman, and the relationship between Baman and Liu Kan... is destined to be the most suitable one for Ba Zhou to come forward.

Monk was very meticulous and Ba Zhou agreed immediately.
Chapter completed!
