Chapter 1392: Han Banner World (VIII) Unite the Weak to Defeat the Strong

The sudden bad news made the three people who had just been immersed in the thoughts of victory shocked and angry. Although Tan Feng was the person they had been trying to win over, in their eyes, he was just a person who could be exploited. They are just more fighting dogs. In their hearts, you can only take what I give you. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it away. What's more, Tan Feng has tens of thousands of troops. If he can hold on to Tai'an, he will wait until the Chu army takes over the southern part of Qin and negotiate with Lu Chao, so that the two countries will reunite and give Han troops in Tai'an, Wulong, and Yingchuan. A severe blow, but as Tan Feng gave up on Tai'an, this idea became a complete fantasy.

"What other troops can we mobilize around Jiaocheng?" Huang Xie's first reaction was to mobilize the army to counterattack Jiaocheng and kill Tan Feng, an unfamiliar dog.

"The terrain of Jiaocheng is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Here, we originally stationed three thousand troops. Apart from this army, there is no standing army around Jiaocheng, which is more important. What's more, beyond Jiaocheng is the prosperous Guangyuan County, which is a land of plenty. If Tan Feng takes Jiaocheng and attacks Guangyuan County, it will be difficult for Guangyuan to resist." Qu Zhong's face was so gloomy that he felt like he was dripping water. "The incident happened suddenly. In the short term, we were unable to mobilize enough troops to launch a counterattack. Even Guangyuan did not have the ability to defend. The only solution now is to send people to negotiate with Tan Feng to see what this person wants. What?"

Huang Xie thought for a moment and said helplessly: "That's all we can do now. It's best to hold off Tan Feng until the war over Qu Wan's side is over. Then we can turn around and take care of this white-eyed wolf."

"This is the only way we can do it. But we still have to prepare to mobilize troops and horses, so let Bi Xuan get ready. If there is no reaction, it will only increase his arrogance." Qu Zhong thought for a while and said.

Bi Xuan has risen through the ranks since he severely damaged the new army of the Han army in the city-wide battle, and now he has become the leading general of the Imperial Guards in Ying City. "Bi Xuan led an army of 30,000 to Jiaocheng, while negotiating with Tan Feng. At the same time, he was preparing to go to war with him. Tan Feng had only two options, either completely surrender to our country, or become a fan." Huang Xie said angrily.

After a few words, the two of them decided on a strategy. However, such a sudden interruption eliminated some of Qu Zhong's worries about the surrender of Zhou Yu's troops. Zhao Shucheng's markings on the map were only half completed before he was lost. The three of them began to prepare for Bixuan's dispatch of troops and forgot about it, but ten days later. Qu Zhong was so remorseful that his hair turned gray almost overnight.

If they had finished this matter at that time, Qu Zhong would have seen the situation between the two sides on the map, and he would have reminded Qu Wan to be careful, because the positions of Zhou Yu's troops who claimed to surrender and the Xuanyi Guards troops who were chasing them were In this position, it is a situation where Qu Wanwan's headquarters is surrounded by both sides.

Of course, by that time, it was too late.

By the Yingshui River, Yang Dasha stared blankly at his king as if he had been struck by lightning. After he successfully caught a fish, Gao Yuan also announced to him the next task he had to complete as promised,

However, this task seemed so unbelievable to Yang Dasha.

He actually led his troops into the southern part of Qin State to join forces with Qin Yi. In one fell swoop, he surrounded and then annihilated the 200,000 elite Chu people led by Chu general Qu Wan.

All along, Yang Dasha felt that the Han Dynasty must first destroy the Qin State, and then slowly plot against the Chu State. Because no matter what, the current Chu State is much stronger than the Qin State. Whether it is financial resources or military strength, when doing things, of course it is easy first and then difficult. But now, the order issued by the king is exactly the opposite.

"Why, why?" Yang Dasha was really a little stupid. He looked at Gao Yuan blankly and asked: "The Qin State is hiding now, why don't you kill them first?"

Gao Yuan smiled proudly, picked up the fishing rod again, put the bait on, and put the hook into the water, "Qin Guo is now a terminally ill patient. He can only be said to be a centipede insect. He is dead but not stiff. He is very important to us." The threat of the Han Dynasty has been reduced to a minimum. His future ideal is just to protect himself. Even if they only think about this goal, they are afraid that they will not be able to achieve it. But the Chu State is different. The Chu State has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. Whether it is financial or national strength, it is not comparable to the current Qin State. What is even more rare is that under the stimulation of the rise of our Han Dynasty, the lion of Chu State, which has been sleeping for many years, has begun to wake up. In the past few years, in Huang Xie, Qu Under the heavy leadership of the State Council, Chu State has achieved great results in both its military reform and internal affairs reform. Its national strength is increasing step by step. After the country becomes rich and the people are strong, they will naturally think about what we big men are thinking and doing now, which is unification. Central Plains, build a great country." Gao Yuan said leisurely. "King Huai of Chu is not a qualified king, but he is able to recognize and employ people without mercy. The three kings and ministers complement each other well. If this trend continues, in a few years, the people of Chu will definitely become the most powerful people in our Han Dynasty. Opponents, in fact, now they have the capital to make a difference with us.”

"Looking at the Qin State, the situation is exactly the opposite. Dasha, do you think it is better for us to unite with a guy who is not a threat to us now and in the future to kill a guy who is a threat to us now and in the future? Or should we unite with this guy who is very threatening to us now and in the future?" How about the guys who are threatening join forces to kill this weak guy in front of us who is not a threat to us?"

This sentence was like a tongue twister. Hearing this, Yang Dashu rolled his eyes, but he understood the meaning clearly. The Qin State was no longer a threat to the Han Dynasty. Now, they should unite with them to kill the Chu State and defeat the rising Chu State. Guo Qian lay down, then turned around and slowly took care of the weak sick beast of Da Qin.

"Do the Qin people agree to unite with us?" Yang Dasha asked weakly.

"Lu Chao has no choice. Either he agrees to join forces with me to overthrow the Chu State, or I will join forces with the Chu State to carve up his Qin State first. How to choose? Isn't it difficult to make a choice?" Gao Yuan laughed. stand up.

"But Your Majesty, even if Lu Chao has no choice, it's not like Qin doesn't understand. We will still deal with him after all. He is just drinking doves to quench his thirst. Lu Chao is not a fool. He doesn't understand this." !" Yang Dasha asked another question.

"Of course he understands, and he also understands the principle of drinking a dove to quench thirst. But if he drinks this glass of poisonous wine, he may not die, but if he doesn't drink it, he will die immediately. What's more, do you think he doesn't have his own little one? Abacus?" Gao Yuan laughed. "The result of Lu Chao's negotiation with us was that he only agreed to join forces with us to kill Qu Wan's 200,000 elites. As for the future, it is all up to us. After this battle, Lu Chao will take back the Chu Kingdom's occupation. The entire south of Qin State, and he will not take any of Chu State's land, but he will withdraw from the war."

"You agreed?"

"Agreed. The Chu State was originally a big country with millions of soldiers. After the reform of the military system, the standing army was only 300,000. However, what Qu Wan brought to the southern border of Qin this time accounted for one-third of the Chu people's standing army. Second, after destroying this army, we have broken the backbone of the Chu State. Can it still withstand our offensive? Even if they mobilize the whole country, can those farmers who have just put down their hoes be as well-armed and well-trained as us? The opponent of Su's army, not to mention, our work in Chu State has not been in vain over the years. In their most prosperous Jiangnan area, the rebellion has never stopped. "

Yang Dasha had also heard about this matter. Among the top leaders of the Han State, this was a famous case of silk eaters. The machinery improved by the Han State was imported into the Chu State on a large scale, which made the Chu State's silk weaving industry a success. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, the price of silk has dropped sharply, which has led to a rapid increase in sales. A large amount of land has been used to plant mulberry trees, raise silkworms and reel silk, while the improvement of factory efficiency has greatly reduced manpower, and hand-workshop-style home weaving has Almost all industries were bankrupted. While businessmen and officials were making huge profits, ordinary people fell into an abyss of pain, and riots began. It can be said that this itself is the perfect implementation of a well-thought-out and long-term subversion plan of the Han Dynasty.

The Han State also experienced this stage, but they had a king named Gao Yuan who understood this process well. Therefore, during this transformation process, the Han State had done a lot of work in advance, while other industrial and commercial leaders Development has also made great efforts to divert manpower and solve the problem of food for the population, allowing the Han State to pass this point calmly. On the other hand, Chu State, because of its single industrial and commercial industry, cannot divert manpower and solve the problem of employment like the Han State. , contradictions inevitably arise.

In other words, a few years ago, the Han Dynasty had basically established its own political strategy and determined the process of unifying the world through Chu first and then Qin. To use a good word, this is called foresight, but Yang Dasha was thinking in his heart at the moment. What I thought was, ah, it’s so insidious, so insidious, but I like it.

"The conditions for cooperation proposed by Lu Chao are because he feels that the Chu Kingdom has an eight-hundred-year dynasty and five thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Even without these two hundred thousand elites, it is absolutely impossible for our Han Dynasty to destroy it in a short time. If we If the Han State can reach a stalemate with the Chu State and make it difficult to get off the tiger, it will be very beneficial to his Da Qin. He will have a lot of time to regain the old mountains and rivers, reorganize the national strength, and even between the two of us Play both ways and get the maximum benefit," Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"He has a good idea." Yang Dasha stood up excitedly, "Your Majesty, when will I set off? I can't wait any longer. That Qu Wan is the bastard who designed to harm our New First Army. I was about to Let’s settle the account properly with him. Just like what the king said, if you eat something from me, spit it out, and if you take something from me, give it back to me, plus interest.” (To be continued.)
