Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Waiting for the Chu army to arrive in Hanzhong, located in Chengdu...
When the Chu army arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Bang, who was located in the royal city of Chengdu, received the military report, and was shocked on the spot.
——Xiang Jipifu has not yet been seated on the throne, but he is actually thinking about him!
Liu Bangyuan was still holding on to the fact that Bashu Mountain Road was rugged and difficult to travel, and in the eyes of the feudal lords, he was a remote country, and Xiang Jixu was a fluke that he had not been able to deal with him for three years and five years.
After all, he was in it, and it was thanks to Xiao He who had read the household registration booklet of Qin officials that he knew that this place was unique and rich. But in the eyes of the princes, it is still the ground before Qin's rule, and it is not worth mentioning.
Never thought that Shuzi had only been on the throne for two months, and the Chu army aggressively advanced towards him!
Liu Bang was defeated and defended the middle of Shu that day, and he reorganized his army from scratch. With the help of Xiao He, he has only accumulated 100,000 works.
How could the 100,000 new recruits who have never really fought against the enemy be the opponents of the elite Chu army who have experienced hundreds of battles and won every victory!
Liu Bang was so anxious that his mouth froze, and he hurriedly summoned a cadre of cronies to come.
As soon as he informed of the critical situation, all the figures were shocked, and immediately looked stunned, he couldn't help sighing, and they were all silent.
Liu Bang looked left and right, and all he could see was the "color" of sluggishness and despair, and he felt more and more desperate.
If he really didn't want to live and wiped his neck with a sword, why would he have summoned his cronies for a secret discussion?
At this moment, Liu Bang suddenly noticed that Wei Xiao He's face was calm, and he seemed to be confident, and a glimmer of hope could not help but ignite in his heart.
"Prime Minister," Liu Bang said earnestly, and took the initiative to ask Ji Ji, "What can I do?"
To Liu Bang's disappointment, when Xiao He called him, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and said bitterly, "I don't know...I don't know."
"Hey!"
Liu Bang sighed heavily.
Next, he seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was loud enough for the people around him to hear clearly: "Is there not a wise man in the world who can solve this terrifying crisis for me? With such a person here, I am really willing to divide this Bashu into two and share it with him as a brother!"
When he said this at first, it was Zhang Liang who stood up; when he said it again, it was Li Shiqi who stood up and proposed a plan to unite the princes against Chu; automatically invited Ying and went to Xianyang to say that the great Sima Zhou Yin...
But the tried-and-true trick finally didn't work.
After Liu Bang's "talking to himself", for a long time, the room was still dead silent.
Everyone looked at their noses and noses and watched their hearts, not to mention standing up, and even their breathing was deliberately lighter, as if they were afraid of being set on fire by Liu Bang.
Liu Bang said with a wry smile: "Forget it, everyone, please go back first... The Prime Minister stayed."
Xiao He looked indifferent. When he was about to leave with the crowd, he was suddenly stopped, but he was not surprised at all. He was led by his servants to the inner room where Liu Bang was.
At this time, Liu Bang no longer concealed his complexion, his eyes were full of dark clouds, and his eyes were cold.
When Xiao He entered, he calmed down a little, got up in person, and led Xiao He into the seat.
As soon as Xiao He sat down, Liu Bang couldn't wait to ask again: "Is there really nothing you can do about it?"
He really didn't want to believe that Xiao He, the think tank who could put forward his life-saving plan of retreating to Bashu in time after the extremely dangerous Xianyang Palace banquet, would have a day when he was helpless.
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said: "With the shallow strategy of the minister, facing such a predicament, I have indeed run out of skills."
Bashu is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but when Xiang Yu exhausted all the food in Guanzhong and sent the elites of the Chu army several times the number of Shu soldiers, they poured into Bashu from Hanzhong - under the absolute suppression from all sides, how could there be any difficulties? Word?
The determination of the Chu army is clear at a glance, that is, it would rather hurt some small tendons and break some small bones, but also must get rid of this big trouble in Bashu.
And when the Chu army entered Bashu, facing the rich land that was completely different from the situation before the Qin Dynasty, it was even more impossible to tolerate Liu Bang sitting here.
Hearing that Xiao He was serious and there was nothing he could do, Liu Bang was really angry and anxious.
Xiao He listened without frowning. After a long while, he suddenly thought of something and suggested: "If the king wants to keep the foundation under the iron hoof of the Chu army, even if the soldiers are still alive, in this situation of isolation and helplessness, it is also wishful thinking. It shouldn't be difficult if you just want to save your life."
When Liu Bang heard this, he didn't know what Xiao meant.
This is to signal him to leave everything behind, escape from the small road on the southeast side, and then pass through the Central Plains through the water.
But there is no king in the world. In the end, he is afraid that he can only hide in the remote south, relying on the property he took from Bashu to find a place to live, and he can live the life of an ordinary rich man.
Liu Bang's face changed for a while, and finally he waved his hand in a sullen mood, and drove back Xiao He, who was speechless: "Let me think about it."
Xiao He stood up indifferently and saluted respectfully: "Your servant will retire first."
Liu Bang squinted his eyes, silently sending Xiao He's back as he left quietly, thoughtfully.
He vaguely felt that the Prime Minister... seemed to be a little different from usual.
Only this crisis was urgent, and he didn't have time to ponder what happened to Xiao He, and only painfully weighed whether he should leave the Bashu foundation as soon as possible and go south to seek it, or rely on the Chu soldiers to fight to the death.
The commanders of the Chu army on this trip will be Lu Bu, the most trusted general under Xiang Yu, then the lieutenant Han Xin, who has made a name for himself by sweeping the Wei and Zhao provinces and has made many outrageous tactics, and finally, there is Zhao's famous general Li Li. Left car.
Looking at his place, the main general is himself, the deputy generals are Cao Can, Guan Ying, and the cavalry generals are Lu Wan and Liu Jia...
Liu Bang had a sullen face, and quickly went through the situation in his mind, still feeling that the odds of winning were slim.
His generals are solid, but they can stand out under the brave and adept Xiang Ji, and the highly respected Lu Bu must be better than the more familiar Chu generals such as Long Qie, Zhong Lixuan, Ji Bu, etc. 's ability.
Even if he had a 90% certainty, Liu Bang would not be at ease, not to mention that he knew nothing about those people except their names and deeds, so how could he dare to take risks?
But he was also reluctant to let him make such a move that he was scared by the prestige of the Chu army and fled to the south before the enemy army arrived.
So Liu Bang thought about it, and finally decided to pack up in secret first, prepare the frame and ferry, and hide it in the secret road and the bank of the river in the capital.
No matter whether that General Chu has a false name or is truly powerful, he must have had a confrontation first, and then discuss the follow-up, there is no reason to flee without a fight.
If the Chu army is really strong and the Shu army is not an opponent, he will take a few confidants and flee to the south along the road prepared in advance... It should not be too late.
After making both plans, Liu Bang's heart was completely settled.
Since the Chu army entered Shu, it has been going south all the way, and it has been unimpeded.
Every time he went to a city, Han Xin, in order to prevent his virtuous brother from running away in a blink of an eye, hurriedly played the banner that those who surrendered would not be punished, and sent people to surround the city and shout for surrender.
On this expedition, he also made a special trip to bring the more than 10,000 Bashu youths who had been captured by him in Hanzhong last year and had been adopted by him for his own use. Whenever he had to persuade him to surrender, he had them shout in their local accents.
And among these people, many people know each other, or have kinship.
Seeing that Prime Minister Xiao had been conscripted into the army for a while, and then never returned, his relatives and friends not only lacked arms and legs, but they were all jumping up and down, even their skin was ruddy, and they even gained a bit of weight. ...
Many people were both surprised and delighted. After a few questions and answers in the air, they landed neatly.
They have nothing to do with the King of Han, who is surnamed Liu, and they even complained because of the inexplicable number of foreigners on top of their heads who were conscripting troops at every turn. How could they be willing to sacrifice their lives for Liu Bang?
Originally, was worried that the ene ar would be violent, and once they surrendered, they might not be as good as they are now, but seeing that the familiar people are safe and sound, and the days are going well, so there is nothing to worry about.
As for the betrayal, after Han Xin left some people to take over the city, he took the city's original city guard, and then randomly ordered hundreds of people to go to the next city.
No matter how many shouts and promises there are, there is no evidence at hand.
Except for some cities that were determined to be loyal to Liu Han and resisted to the end, they were overrun by the Chu army, and they were stormed in half a day. Seven or eight out of ten responded immediately and surrendered to the Chu army.
Even if it was a city that was desperately resisting, Han Xin only executed the city guard and his cronies, and all the people were pardoned.
Once this move came out, the Chu army, who had gained a good reputation for not committing any crimes in Qiu and bringing back their relatives who had been captured a while ago, had a better reputation.
In less than a month, the Chu army had already arrived under the city of Chengdu.
Although Liu Bang was very unhappy, he was not surprised that the Chu army had been victorious all the way since he left the division, without a single defeat.
After all, he did not manage this place for a long time, and he was always worried about the overall situation outside the customs.
Han Xin led an army of 300,000 people to swallow up three miles outside of Chengdu, a place near the water source, so he took Li Zuoche and went to the main tent to find his virtuous brother.
At this moment, Lu Bu was absent-mindedly wiping the body of Long Yuan's sword, but what appeared in his mind was the idiot who, before he left, forced the sword, which barely caught his eye, into his hand. of that scene.
Although don't know why that foolish man is so obsessed with giving him a personal sword... Anyway, a sword given for nothing, don't want it for nothing.
Lu Bu wiped the blade to a spotless shine before returning the sword to the scabbard with satisfaction.
What's more, the fool doesn't know, but what he knows is that the one he will use with this sword at that time is Liu Mouse, who was supposed to "drive" the fool to the end of the road and end up killing himself by Wujiang!
He has a mere sword for himself, yet he has avenged such a big revenge. It's really too cheap, that fool.
There was a clear sound when it was sheathed, and the next moment Lu Bu's ears moved, he caught the movement of the cheap brother bringing the wheel in.
"sit."
He greeted him carelessly, and changed his sitting position to the most comfortable position: "What is the reason for Brother Han and General Li here?"
He sat casually, not to mention Han Xin, who was familiar with his wise brother's temperament. Even Li Zuoche, who was more serious before, was influenced by this, and his demeanor was much more relaxed.
Since there was no one else in the tent, the three of them sat crookedly before discussing important matters.
Han Xin was the first to ask: "What do you want to win this battle?"
In Han Xin's eyes, this battle was already a sure win, the only difference being the length of time and the number of sacrificed soldiers.
This cheap old man's brain is ten times better than his, how could he learn from the bad "feel" of Old Man Fan and Emperor Han, and he was pulling him to ask tricks!
Lu Bu couldn't help slandering.
But Han Xin is his cheap old brother, not Old Man Fan and Han who need to be careful... Even Emperor Han doesn't have to be careful now!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu rolled his eyes and immediately took out his attitude towards Gao Fuyi and Chen Gongtai. Brother's plan!"
