Chapter 27 1. Compromise

To be honest, according to Xiang Yu's list of kings, how could Liu Bang swallow this bad breath.It is tolerable, which is unbearable, since they have been bullied to the top, they can't do without beating.Therefore, Liu Bang, who was extremely angry, ordered the generals to prepare for the battle. If the tiger didn't show its power, he thought it was a sick cat. Listen up, comrades, we must take the initiative to attack! As soon as it was said that there was going to be a battle, Liu Bang's gang of generals and brothers were all gearing up and eager to try.Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and Fan Kui all said in unison, let's fight, we have had enough.

Let's take a look at a brief introduction first, and then we will know why Liu Bang and his brothers like to fight.We have already seen the bravery of Comrade Fan Kuai at the Hongmen Banquet, so here we will only introduce two other people. Zhou Bo, whose birth date is unknown, was originally from Juan County (now southwest of Yuanyang, Henan), and later moved to Pei County. Professional background: I used to weave silkworm foil for a living, and in my spare time, I played flute for other people's dead, so as to earn a little extra money for a living. Specialties: Can draw a strong bow and fight tough battles.

Guanying is also an unknown date of birth. Birthplace: Suiyang (now Suiyang County, Henan Province). Occupational background: Worked as a businessman, mainly selling silk. Specialty: brave and good at riding. The above three people all followed Liu Bang to rebel as an attendant (Zhongjuan).The so-called Zhongjuan is a buddy who often drinks and makes troubles, and pats his shoulders as brothers.This kind of people can sum up their personality in one sentence, that is: aggressive cock. In the eyes of these good fighting cocks, being aggressive is honorable, fearing death is bad, fighting is great, and attacking is nothing to say.Zhou Bo and others have the characteristics of fighting like life, just like the instinct of animals, they are born with it.If you make a horse give up running, is it still a horse?If you make a tiger give up chasing sheep, is it still a tiger?If you let these three people fight in front of the battle, are they still generals?

The answer is of course no.The result can only be that they would rather die in battle than let Xiang Yu crawl on their heads and shit. However, when there was a lot of shouts and fights in the army, the civil servant Xiao He stood up and spoke out. He tried his best to persuade Liu Bang, and Pei Gong calmed down. Zhou Bo and the others became angry when they heard it. Xiao He, what are you talking about? You are pessimistic before the fight starts. Are you afraid of death?If you are afraid of death, you still participate in a fart revolution! That's right, if you are afraid of death, don't participate in the revolution, but the revolution is not about taking your life and going wild.War is a technology, but also an art, and showing off the courage of ordinary people will only speed up the speed of destruction.Especially on the battlefield, calmness does not mean weakness, and rage does not mean strength.As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of lack of firewood. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the best tactic is to preserve your strength and wait for the opportunity to go. This is also the philosophy of war taught to us: do not use hidden dragons, hide your strengths and bide your time.

Everyone understood that what Xiao He meant was nothing more than that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were not heavyweight opponents. It is best to recharge your batteries and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. up. The truth seems to be easy to say, but the question is, is Liu Bang just watching Xiang Yu, who is a round younger than himself, go wild?No, this is definitely not the life that I, Liu San, want. If you don't fight, how will you know who is stronger? Even if you die, you have to fight for the result.So, Liu Bang was very unconvinced and asked Xiao He: Why do you say that if we don't go to Hanzhong, we will die?

Do I need to say more about this?The facts are right in front of us.First, our army does not have as many Xiang Yu.Second, our soldiers and horses are not as strong as Xiang Yu.The so-called know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you know that you can't beat others, but you still want to fight, isn't this courting death? Xiao He's words were really fierce, and hit Liu Bang's weakness immediately, he was speechless for a long time.But there is another problem. If we don't fight, everyone will be locked up in that ghost place in Hanzhong for the rest of our lives. It's really hard for me, Liu Bang, who is in charge, to explain to the brothers under me!

Xiao He laughed, of course things are not like this, if we don't fight now, it doesn't mean we won't fight in the future.Our strategy is to endure humiliation and temporarily retreat to Hanzhong, as long as we unite and work hard to open up land, open up wasteland and grow food, win the hearts of the people, and recruit wise men from all over the world.Once the time is right, kill him by surprise and take the opportunity to take back the Guanzhong land. At that time, you, King of Han, will see the world, and it will be just around the corner! High, it's really high, this trick is called lying down and tasting courage, breaking through the curve.When Liu Bang heard this, his seven orifices suddenly opened, and he readily accepted Xiao He's suggestion and acknowledged the fait accompli of the title of King of Han.

Therefore, Liu Bang started to form a cabinet and appointed Xiao He as prime minister.As for Zhang Liang, since he had to return to South Korea to return to his command, he could only be rewarded with gold and jewels. However, as soon as Zhang Liang turned around, he bribed his good friend Xiang Bo with all the property Liu Bang had given him.Of course, Zhang Liang didn’t give the money for free. He asked Xiang Bo to intercede with Xiang Yu on Liu Bang’s behalf. The reason was: If the Overlord is willing to transfer all the land in Hanzhong County to the Hanwang, the Hanwang will certainly be more willing to stay in Hanzhong for a long time, so that he will die of old age. Do not interact with the outside world.

Don't think that Zhang Liang won a piece of land for Liu Bangduo, just think that he is greedy.Wrong, quite the opposite.Zhang Liang’s move is called setting off smoke bombs. The more Liu Bang pretends to be greedy for Hanzhong, the more it proves that he has been willing to live in Hanzhong for a long time. Fortunately, Uncle Xiang has always been a good comrade who takes money from people and relieves disasters for others. As soon as he received a bribe from Zhang Liang, he went straight to Xiang Yu to lobby without saying a word.Xiang Yu has always been obedient to Uncle Xiang, and he seems to have gotten used to Uncle Xiang's corruption and bribery. Besides, Xiang Yu will give you Liu Bang a little more, and his land will not be lost. Let Liu San be fulfilled. Forgive him for flying too. not going anywhere.Therefore, Xiang Yu readily agreed to Xiang Bo, and allocated all the land in Hanzhong County to Liu Bang's household every inch!

206 BC, April.This day was a special day for Liu Bang. Xiang Yu announced in the water that he would stop his troops and return to the east.Just when Liu Bang was about to leave to play in the water, a touching scene happened. Among the princes, even Xiang Yu's camp, including Han Xin, more than ten thousand people were willing to follow him to settle in Hanzhong because they admired Liu Bang's virtue. Liu Bang's eyes were moist.The eyes of the masses are bright. This is absolutely true. Since you are not afraid of high mountains and high waters, follow me.One day, I will tell my fans with practical actions that the charm of idols is not blown out. Believe me, Hanzhong is just a short stop in your life!

When Liu Bang led the army to leave Xishui, Zhang Liang saw him off all the way, reluctant to part all the way.Meeting bosom friends at the end of the world, monarchs and ministers cherish each other. Looking back on the past, the past is vivid in my mind. I met twice and separated twice. However, to send you off for thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye at the end, and Zhang Liang almost shed tears when he is really about to say goodbye.This is the second parting. From now on, there will be no second person in the world who can understand his Grand Duke's Art of War. Liu Bang was also deeply moved. This iron man who had rushed out of countless swords and blood finally understood a truth in the world: true love is seen in troubled times.However, when Zhang Liang finally had to leave Liu Bang, he gave him another golden trick. He said to Liu Bang: Please remember, after you return to Hanzhong, you must burn the Shuzhong plank road. The plank road is not only a product of the land of Bashu, but also a great masterpiece of all the poor mountains and bad waters.Because the land of Bashu is full of horizontal mountains and mountains, there is no way to communicate with the outside world, so the people of Bashu invented a real road to heaven, that is, they cut a row of stone holes on the cliffs and inserted them into wooden holes about two or three meters long. One end of the stick, and then lay planks on the row of sticks to form a walkway in the air. Such a walkway in the air is only as wide as a horse, and you want to use two-lane or four-lane lanes, unless you invent a reinforced concrete bridge as soon as possible.Therefore, in order to prevent two horses from being difficult to squeeze through, at intervals, people will set up a wider place similar to a horse bag that can accommodate two horses. Walk through the plank road. The plank roads in some places are like those roads that cross mountains and mountains today, with railings on both sides.But please note that once such a heavenly road is burned, it will not be possible to build a decent original road within three to five years.That being the case, why did Zhang Liang teach Liu Bang to burn the plank road? The reason is very simple. One is to prevent Xiang Yu and other princes from attacking Bashu in a bad mood one day; the other is to paralyze Xiang Yu.Burning down the plank road means that Liu Bang swears to Xiang Yu's silent declaration: Don't worry about the overlord, I will never move my nest again in my life.I will conscientiously implement your thoughts of overlord to every mountain, every river, every mountain city, and every distant village.I will also prove to you that I, Hanwang Liu Bang, will be your most dedicated captain of the poverty alleviation team! This is destined to be a war between fools and anti-fools.After Liu Bang returned to Hanzhong, according to Zhang Liang's plan, he burned the main plank road in Hanzhong, and then lurked like a dragon. Brother Xiang Yu, just wait.Lurking is not a retreat, but a better attack.The great moment of the flying dragon soaring to the sky will always belong to those who dare to dream. I believe that this day will not be too far away from me, Liu San!
