Chapter 175 The Lost Youth (Ninth)
"Pei Gong means that we should rely on others?"
Fan Kuai heard Liu Bang’s implication a little, and showed a little unhappy on his face. Among these people, his temper was the most powerful. If he had followed his ideas, he would have taken down all the surrounding counties, but Liu Bang repeatedly failed to agree with his advice. Now he has to wait to rely on others. It would be strange if Fan Kuai was happy.
"What's wrong with relying on people? If you rely on people, if Qin soldiers come, there will naturally be many soldiers and generals who will fight in front, and we can follow in the back. If both sides suffer losses...hehehe..."
Liu Bang has his own theory, which others cannot understand. After hearing this, Fan Kuai could only shake his head. He was unhappy and still had to listen to his elder brother's words.
However, although Fan Kuai and Lu Wan were unable to adapt to Liu Bang's theory for a while, Lu understood Liu Bang's little thoughts. As for the reason, it was just because the three giggles made by Liu Bang in the end were so similar to the sound they did when they were doing a certain exercise at night.
When Meng Yi left, even though Luoyang and Xianyang were not far away, there was no news for half a month.
Although Ying Gao was eager to wait, he had no choice but to go to the front line. The First Emperor had to nod. In the eyes of the First Emperor, he must be the key target of protection, so if he wanted to lead his troops to face the enemy, he would have to go through a few rounds of screenings in the court.
After waiting for twenty days, Ying Gao finally waited for his father-in-law Feng Jie. Hearing that Emperor Shin-chan sent Feng Jie this time, Ying Gao's heart was half lost. It was said that his family was easy to do business. When his father-in-law came, would his purpose be far away?
"My uncle is here to tell me about the happy event?"
Ying Gaoyi felt much better when he saw Feng Jie's old face. At least he didn't have to think about what to say and what not to say like when Meng Yi came.
"Is it really your intention to lead the army to wipe out many anti-Qin forces?"
Feng Jie did not answer Ying Gao's question directly, but instead asked this question righteously.
"really!"
"The emperor has already rejected the objections of the public and agreed. I came here this time, and led 30,000 troops to guard Liang County. I echoed the supplies, food and money in Guanzhong. I was dispatched in Sanchuan."
A short sentence made Ying Gao's heart still quite warm. Nothing else, just because of this arrangement, Ying Gao knew that at least the First Emperor had put his heart into consideration, and he really believed that he had the ability to wipe out those anti-Qin forces.
Because Chen Sheng's power is mainly concentrated in the two counties of Yingchuan and Chen County, and to attack Chen County, you need to take Yingchuan first. Just by taking Chen Sheng, Ying Gao will definitely inevitably lengthen his front line.
In this way, the supply of baggage will undoubtedly become a big problem. The original county magistrates of Yingchuan and Chen County were either killed or didn't know where to go, and it was absolutely impossible to point at them. This embarrassing problem was basically resolved by Emperor Qin Shi, who was the most reliable Feng Jie in the court for Ying Gao.
Otherwise, if an outsider wants to make some bad things for Ying Gao and delay his supplies a little, Ying Gao's 150,000 troops will be unsustainable. This is also a problem that Ying Gao has been thinking about these days, and now, Feng Jie has basically solved it.
"Gao asked to go east to defeat the enemy, how did his uncle want to come?"
Since Feng Jie has come, Ying Gao has to let him provide logistics support for himself in the Sanchuan land. After all, after destroying Chen Sheng's layer of ashes, a real hard bone will appear.
Moreover, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bang were all capable of Ying Gao’s heart, so what he asked for from Xianyang was not enough to do anything. If Feng Jie was waiting here reluctantly, it would have bursed hidden dangers.
"If we look at our Feng clan, the young master will not take this risk. But if we look at the Qin Dynasty, the young master's move is really as handsome as an old Qin. The emperor is amazed at the court for his integrity. If it weren't for the young master here, such a large-scale anti-Qin force would probably make everyone in the court pessimistic."
"Since that's the case, why did my uncle come here just twenty days after Meng Yi's return? I didn't know that at this time, the uncle and nephew of Xiang from Kuaiji County had probably passed the river. The land of Jiujiang was probably no longer protected..."
"It could have arrived a few days in advance, but now the man in charge of smelting weapons called Zhang Kai said that the things that the young master ordered were not properly made, so it has been delayed until today."
"What?"
"Three thousand Qin crossbows, countless arrows..."
When Ying Gao heard this, he suddenly showed a relieved expression on his face. What he originally asked Zhang Kai was only one thousand Qin crossbows, because according to the manufacturing speed of Zhang Kai at that time, after he had already provided Wang Li with two thousand Qin crossbows, he could only create a thousand numbers.
But now there are as many as 3,000. Although Ying Gao didn't know how Zhang Kai's trick became, Qin Nou was really useful at least when dealing with the unclothed army under Chen Sheng!
Feng Jie arrived and Luoyang was over. Ying Gao general Wang Li and Sima Xin took his identities and led the army to Liang County in a mighty manner. There, Zhang Han was waiting for them. After joining, they would rush out of the old Qin land and start to take the initiative against the anti-Qin forces for the first time.
On the eve of Ying Gao's departure, he received a letter from Kuaiji. This letter made him want to get closer to the vicinity of the vortex.
While Ying Gao set out, on the river water thousands of miles away from Ying Gao, the young man who led the horse to Xiang Yu was standing alone at the stern of a small boat, looking at Kuaiji County, which was gradually moving away, and sometimes looking west, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew's army was about to set out from Kuaiji to cross the river, Han Xin took advantage of the opportunity to lead the horse to advise Xiang Yu, saying bluntly that Xiang Yu should advise Xiang Liang, and after crossing the river, he went directly to capture Chen County, replaced Chen Sheng, and then recruited troops with Chen County as the center to expand his strength, rather than heading straight to Jiujiang County.
But Han Xin's proposal, which had been deduced dozens of times in his mind, was exchanged for Xiang Yu's sarcasm. According to Xiang Yu's intention, Han Xin was born to be a stalwart. He was too ambitious, so he should save money. As for the matter of conquering Chen County, Xiang Yu forgot it without thinking about it.
"He didn't even ask about the reason..."
Han Xin didn't know what it meant to waste his time here. Suddenly, he remembered the words of a middle-aged uncle a few days ago.
