Chapter 115 Zhang Liangji
Puyang, the county magistrate's office.
On the rockery in the backyard, Zhang Liang was carrying his hands on his back and looking up at the vast starry sky. Behind Zhang Liang, there was a graceful and beautiful woman standing pretty.
This girl is about 10 years old, with a slender waist that is not enough to hold on to her, but her soft breasts and buttocks are particularly round and plump.
The beauty's face was also covered with a veil, and her skin was as white as jade, and her willow eyebrows were curved, revealing a suffocating beauty, especially the pair of beautiful eyes like stars, like dreams, like smoke and gauze, and her black hair was just a bun behind her head, but she showed an indescribable peerless charm.
This woman is no other person, but she is Xu Fu, a master of Yin and Yang in the world who has learned from Huangshi Gong.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Liang’s thoughts finally returned to reality from the vast starry sky, and sighed: “Junior sister, has the celestial phenomena changed?”
Zhang Liang also learned from Duke Huangshi, but he learned from military strategists.
Xu Fu blinked his beautiful eyes like stars and asked, "Why did Senior Brother ask this?"
Zhang Liang sighed again and said a little lonely: "It's been almost half a month, but I can't find any traces of Xiang Zhuang and the remnants of the Chu army. Senior brother, I'm very worried. Did you fall into Wei Liao's plan to escape? When my army was searching for the Chu army in Qi, the Chu army had already stolen into Guanzhong and took straight to Xianyang..."
Xu Fu said: "Even if the Chu army sneaked into Guanzhong and captured Xianyang, Xiangzhuang was only a few thousand people after all, but the Han King still had an army of 200,000, and he would just take it back."
Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Junior sister, you are not a military strategist, so I don't know what's so powerful."
Although Xiangzhuang only had a few thousand people, once he was really allowed to sneak into Guanzhong and capture Xianyang, the Han army would have to return to Guanzhong to seek his own efforts. In this way, the Han king's momentum of sweeping the world was gone, and the world would return to the Warring States Period. The Han king was nearly 60 years old. It is hard to predict whether he would have the ambition to annex the world again.
Xu Fu was silent, and after a while, he said quietly: "Senior Brother, the celestial phenomena are the human heart, and the human heart is the celestial phenomena."
If Xiang Zhuang, a time traveler, listened to this, it would be easy to understand, because the so-called celestial phenomena were the magical tools used by ancient charlatans to deceive the world. However, for the ancients who feared the ghosts and gods of heaven, earth, this sentence was difficult to understand. Although Zhang Liang was a famous military strategist in the world, he still could not understand Xu Fu's stupid words.
In other words, Zhang Liang already understood it, but he didn't dare to think about it in that direction.
When Zhang Liang wanted to ask again, Xu Fu refused to say more.
Suddenly, the hero Qingpi quickly walked to the rockery and bowed to Zhang Liang and said, "Sir, Zhou Bo, Li Shang, Fu Kuan, Guan Ying, Xiahou Ying and other five generals have arrived."
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Didn't Huainan King, Hengshan King, Yan King and General Mei Jing come?"
Qingpi replied: "The King of Huainan did not go to the headquarters at all. King Hengshan and King Yan had already set off, but they were persuaded to go back by King Huainan. General Mei Yu was also called back by King Hengshan halfway."
"I understand." Zhang Liang waved his hand and said to Qingpi, "You go down first."
Qingpi bowed to Zhang Liang, then turned around and hid in the shadow at the bottom of the rockery.
Xu Fu suddenly said, "Senior Brother, please call Zhou Bo, Li Shang, Fu Kuan, Guan Ying, Mei Jiao, Xiahou Ying and other armies back to Puyang. The siege of ten sides will no longer exist. Aren't you afraid that the remaining Chu troops in Xiangzhuang will take the opportunity to break through?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the remaining Chu soldiers in Xiangzhuang are no longer in Qi."
"Oh?" Xu Fu slightly turned his head and said with great interest, "With the ability of his senior brother, can there be times when he miscalculates?"
Zhang Liang was stunned and immediately said: "As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake. What can I do if I miscalculate occasionally? There are no generals in this world, and there are no military strategists who have completely calculated it. What's more, it's even more unsurprising that my brother was defeated by a military strategist like Wei Liao this time."
After saying that, Zhang Liang floated down the rockery.
It was not until Zhang Liang walked away that Xu Fu looked up at the starry sky and whispered to himself: "Senior brother, who is senior brother? If you don't say that, you really didn't pay attention. This celestial phenomenon... has indeed changed. Liu Bang's imperial star has become much dimmed."
#############
The lobby of the county magistrate’s mansion.
Zhou Bo, Li Shang, Xiahou Ying are on the left, Fu Kuan and Guan Ying are on the right, and the two sides are clearly divided.
These five generals were originally Liu Bang's old subordinates and were extremely close to each other. However, later, Fu Kuan and Guan Ying followed Han Xin's northern expedition and destroyed South Korea, Dai Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, Fu Kuan and Guan Ying were so arrogant that they inevitably looked down on Zhou Bo, Li Shang and Xiahou Ying because they were defeated by Liu Bang.
It was not until Zhang Liang walked into the hall that the atmosphere eased a little. Although Fu Kuan and Guan Ying looked down on Zhou Bo and others, they still respected Zhang Liang and the others from the bottom of their hearts. At that time, the five generals came forward to greet Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang gave him one by one, and asked the five people to take the seats separately, and he also sat in the chief.
Zhang Liang looked around the generals and said, "My generals must be very strange. The traces of the Chu army have not been found yet. However, at this time, the army of various groups was transferred back to Puyang. In this way, the four main and six strange, and the ten-sided net will have a flaw? Isn't this giving Xiang Zhuang and his remnants of the Chu army a chance to take advantage of?"
Zhou Bo and Guan Ying nodded at the same time, and they were also confused.
Zhang Liang said: "To be honest with you, we have actually been tricked by Wei Liao."
Although there has not been any news from Sanchuan County in Guanzhong, Zhang Liang can be sure that the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang has secretly sneaked back to Liang. The change in Liang State must have been designed by Wei Liao!
"Insected by a trap?" Guan Ying, Fu Kuan and others looked at each other and said in unison, "What trap?"
"The golden cicada escaped the shell." Zhang Liang said, "From the beginning, our army was only Yu Ziqi's side division, and the main force of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang had already moved in." After saying this, Zhang Liang said with concern, "Four days ago, the Liang army of Ao Cang suddenly had a conflict with the Han army. I am worried that the Chu army may have participated in it."
"What are you waiting for?" Xiahou Ying said anxiously, "Sir, hurry up and send troops to Ao Cang!"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Today I will call on several generals to discuss the matter of reprimanding."
After saying that, Zhang Liang's eyes fell on Fu Kuan and Guan Ying. The five generals present, Zhou Bo, Li Shang and Xiahou Ying, were all Liu Bang's generals. Zhang Liang said that they would never have any words to send troops, but Fu Kuan and Guan Ying are now Han Xin's generals. It would be hard to say whether they would be willing to leave.
Guan Ying immediately expressed his opinion: "The last general has nothing to say, it depends on the teacher's instructions."
Fu Kuan hesitated and frowned and said, "Sir, if you encircle and suppress the remnants of the Chu army in Qi, the last general will never say anything. But if you lead troops to Ao Cang, it is a big deal. Should you report to the King of Qi first..."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "It's urgent. King Qi is far away in Linzi, so I'm afraid there is no time to report it."
Fu Kuan was still hesitant, and Xiahou Ying was furious and said, "Fu Kuan, even if the King of Qi was originally a general of the King of Han, you have only been with the King of Qi for a few days, so why dare not obey the King of Han's orders?"
Zhou Bo and Li Shang also spoke fiercely, and Fu Kuan immediately showed an awkward look on his face.
After struggling for a long time, Fu Kuan said, "Well, I will rely on the sir to give me all the instructions!"
Zhang Liang was calm and he was making arrangements in advance to try to cut off Han Xin's wings.
Originally, all this should have been done by King Liu Bang of Han, and the situation would not be as complicated as it is now. According to Zhang Liang's original plan, as long as he obtains secret support from the powerful clans in Qi, Liu Bang will take Han Xin to a military power, and then demote Han Xin or change the enfeoffment to another country. This is not a problem.
But now, Liu Bang has gone to Ao Cang because of the changes in Liang State.
What worries Zhang Liang the most is that the Chu army in Xiangzhuang may have threatened Guanzhong!
Once this happens, Liu Bang and the Han army have to return to the army to save themselves. In this way, Liu Bang will never have the chance to return to Qi to seize Han Xin's military power. Therefore, Zhang Liang could only make his own decisions and decisively cut off Han Xin's wings. Although this is not more straightforward than seizing Han Xin's military power, it can at least curb Han Xin's power to the greatest extent.
Han Xin had two important officials, three major war generals, two major important officials were Cao Shen and Wang Ling, and the three major war generals were Li Zuoche, Fu Kuan and the cavalry general Guan Ying. Now, Li Zuoche has been left in Jiujiang County by Liu Bang. Although Cao Shen and Wang Ling were nominally the prime minister of Qi, they were actually Liu Bang's confidants, and only Fu Kuan and Guan Ying had variables.
Zhang Liang used Liu Bang's name to transfer Fu Kuan and Guan Ying, two generals, and Han Xin's commands were no longer able to stand alone. Once Cao Shen and Wang Ling left, Han Xin would lose the political talent to govern the country. In this way, no matter how powerful Han Xin's generals were or how many army he had, Qi would only become weaker and weaker.
Of course, if Han Xin had always been loyal to Liu Bang, Cao Shen, and Wang Ling would not have left Qi State.
"Okay." Zhang Liang stood up happily and looked around the generals and said, "The generals will return to the camp and all the troops will follow you down to Liang and meet with the king."
"No." The generals agreed and left one after another.
Another junior official came in to report: "Sir, the king is urgently delivering it!"
It was not until Zhang Liang's dispatch that Liu Bang's emergency delivery from Ao Cang was finally delivered.
Zhang Liang took the six wooden slips and reordered the order again. After reading it quickly, he sighed and said, "It's true, it's true..." After that, Zhang Liang pulled out an arrow from the desk and handed it to the minor official, and ordered him to go to Guanying's camp immediately with the arrow and ordered General Guanying to lead the cavalry to cross the river north today. He must block Feihu Xing within ten days!"
The junior official took the order arrow and asked hesitantly: "There are eight thousand cavalrymen in Guanying. How can I cross the river in a hurry?"
Chapter completed!
