Chapter 319: Asking for trouble

Fan Zeng said: "The old minister agreed."
Xiang Liang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Xiang Yu obeys the order!"
Xiang Yu hurriedly stepped out and said, "The last one will be there."
Xiang Liang said: "I order you to lead 20,000 troops immediately and ask Liu Bang and Mr. Fan to help you. You must take down Yongqiu and Waihuang for me and give Zhang Han a heavy blow!"
Xiang Yu said confidently: "Abide by the order."
Liu Bang's face still had a kind smile, but his heart was gritting his teeth.
Roche looked at his expression and couldn't help but smile.
Huang Yueying leaned close to Roqi and whispered: "What are you thinking about?"
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean..."
Huang Yueying whispered: "I have heard of Xiang Yu taking the initiative to ask Liu Bang to be his deputy pioneer, and Liu Bang successfully shirked his arm as a reason. This incident clearly shows that they are incompatible with each other. Liu Bang had previously volunteered to take the opportunity to escape far away. Xiang Yu wanted to attack together, obviously because he wanted to be unfavorable to Liu Bang, and you seem to be on Xiang Yu's side..."
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Huang Yueying said lightly: "The Xiang family is at its peak now. Once they defeat Zhang Han, their rise will be unstoppable. Shouldn't you join forces with the weak and resist the strong and help Liu Bang remain as a pawn to control the Xiang family in the future?... After all, you and I know very well that the coalition forces here will surely be enemies of each other after the demise of Qin."
Luo Qi nodded and said, "You are right, but the premise is that Xiang Jia can win this battle."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean..."
Luo Qi looked at Xiang Liang and chuckled, "Our general is obviously already proud and complacent, and suddenly he didn't take Zhang Han seriously. Although we have suggested to be careful of Zhang Han's sneak attack, he definitely won't care too much. So Xiang Liang is likely to be defeated by Zhang Han, and all forces will be reshuffled by then. Naturally, there is no need for me to leave Liu Bang, the secret chess, not to mention that Liu Bang is not casual, and I don't want to give him a chance to grow."
Huang Yueying frowned and said, "But once Xiang Liang is defeated, the uprising will be frustrated. At that time, the power of Qin State is still there, who can resist it?"
Luo Qi smiled and said, "The situation is different now. Don't forget that the four Northern Wei countries have participated in this chess game. The current situation is different from the past. We must maintain the balance between all parties. Xiang Liang's defeat will not have serious conflicts with our interests, but will give us the freedom to take independent action."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean that after the Qin army defeated Xiang Liang, will it turn its attention to foreign enemies?"
Roche nodded and said, "That's right."
That night, Liu Bang was in the tent.
Liu Bang walked into the camp angrily, punched the table with a sudden punch, and said angrily: "Fan Zeng, the old coffin, must go against me everywhere!"
Xiao He said: "Is it because Xiang Liang did not agree to Pei Gong's suggestion?"
Liu Bang shook his head and said, "Xiang Liang was very happy. He accepted my proposal without saying a word. The hateful thing is that old man Fan Zeng asked Xiang Yu to take charge of the command of Yongqiu and Wai Huang, and I can only become his deputy general!"
Xiao He frowned and said, "It seems that Fan Zeng is a thief who is undead and wants to murder Pei Gong."
Xiahou Ying hurriedly said, "Then we won't go to fight these two cities. Why do we have to work hard for them? In the end, the benefits will be theirs, and we will still be killed at any time."
Cao Shen nodded and said, "Xiahou Ying is right!"
Liu Bang said: "Xiao He, what do you think?"
Xiao He pondered: "I think Fan Zeng hopes that we don't go, so that we can harm Pei Gong in the name of resisting military orders. We might as well go with them and act when we see the opportunity."
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Then let's fight with them and see who has a higher level of knowledge!"
The next day, the rain came and it was clear.
Xiang Yu rode his horse and said with a smile: "We are just preparing to attack Yongqiu and Waihuang, and the weather is getting sunny. Brother Liu Bang, look, isn't this a good omen?"
Liu Bang quickly smiled and said, "With the power of the deputy general, we will definitely succeed this time!"
Xiang Yu said, "I want to give this skill to you, and you will first capture Yongqiu and let others see your skills. I wonder what you think?"
Liu Bang's heart was grimaced, and his face was still filled with smiles: "Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Then I wish Brother Liu Bang a victory and a success in his horse. But after all, we are all members of the military. If we do not follow the military rules and regulations, it will definitely lead to a disintegration of morale. So I think we still need to go through the situation and ask Brother Liu Bang to issue a military order, indicating that if we cannot successfully capture Yongqiu, we are willing to engage in accordance with the military law."
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem, I am willing to set an example!"
That night, Liu Bang was in the tent.
Cao Shen said: "Yongqiu and Waihuang must be a rich county and town with high cities and deep land and abundant soldiers and abundant food. Xiang Yu asked you to attack Yongqiu instead of Waihuang, and he also specially requested to issue a military order. This is obviously to get rid of you. We cannot wait for death!"
Liu Bang sighed: "Even so, what should we do?"
Zhou Bo said: "Even if we capture Yongqiu, Xiang Yu and the others will definitely have a second move. We will have to fight back sooner or later. It is better to take advantage of their unpreparedness and give them a heavy blow, and then lead the team to set up their own business, so as to avoid intrigue with Fan Zeng all day long!"
Liu Bang pondered: "Xiao He, what do you think?"
Xiao He said: "If we follow my words, we still have to endure it."
Xiahou Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You ask us to endure every time, then when will we endure it? Will we be able to rebel when others put the knife on our necks?"
Xiao He shook his head and said, "Fan Zeng is very cunning, so we must be sure that we are unwilling to be at his mercy. Now there are ambushes outside, waiting for us to fall into the trap. If we can't calm down now, we may hit the other party's thoughts."
Xiahou Ying said: "Then we cannot advance, we cannot retreat, we cannot retreat, so what should we do?"
Xiao He said: "Although Fan Zeng is cunning, he has omitted this time. You must know that Yongqiu is a rich county town, so the position of the county magistrate is a fat. I guess that this county magistrate is mostly bought by the official position through relationships. Such people are profit-oriented and will definitely not repay the court. If they are lucky, we may even use a letter of persuasion to surrender and take down Yongqiu without bloodshed."
Liu Bang slapped the table and said, "Xiao He is right!"
Xiao He hurriedly bowed and said, "Pei Gong won the award."
Liu Bang sighed: "We are not yet at the time to turn against Xiang Yu, and I almost acted in anger just now. If it weren't for Xiao He's suggestions, we might have made a big mistake tonight."
Xiao He said: "And since Wai Huang is a barren place, he is definitely a place that corrupt officials cannot avoid. The county magistrate who guards Wai Huang is probably an old stubborn man loyal to the tyrannical Qin. Now Xiang Yu asked us to beat Yongqiu, and he would only have hardships on his own, which would be a good thing for us."
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Lu Wan, please write a letter of exhortation for me. Let's slap Xiang Yu in the face!"
Chapter completed!
