"Liu Bang, this old man! How shameless!" Sima Cuo said with a headache. After receiving the news, Fan Ju was no less troubled than Sima Cuo.
A Yan Jun suddenly appeared in Yan Jun's territory to kill people. After hearing the news, most people in the world would not think that Yan Jun did it himself. And since if it was not Yan Jun, then the final
In the end, it could only be the Qin army.
Liu Bang, this old thief, is really ruthless! So ruthless! On the surface, he looks friendly to his men. After they were captured, he immediately expressed his intention to send their families over, but secretly his methods were indeed ruthless.
This alone is enough to show that the other party is an excellent leader of power!
"Don't worry! Ju Xin, Lang Ling, and Wei Yan can't escape from my grasp!" Although Fan Ju still frowned, he waved to Sima Cuo.
If this plan fails, he has other ways to make Ju Xin, Lang Ling, and Wei Yan surrender to them. However, it is just surrender. It is a bit difficult to convince the other party. Moreover, even if it is surrender,
I'm afraid it's impossible without spending at least a year and a half.
Although it ended up taking a little longer, it was actually not a big problem. After all, although Ju Xin, Lang Ling, and Wei Jian were talented people, there was absolutely no way they would be able to do without anything.
Talents.
Fan Ju's headache was not with Ju Xin, Lang Ling, Wei Jian and the others, but with the impact of Liu Bang's pouring of dirty water on them.
"By the way, there is news that Li Tang is going to raise troops again!" Sima Cuo said with a headache.
It is estimated that few people would be willing to do a war on two fronts. Compared with other princes in the world, the Jin army has a great family and a great cause, so they are qualified to do this.
But the current Qin Army cannot compare with the Jin Army in all aspects. If it is possible not to fight on two fronts, I believe that few generals of the Qin Army would be willing.
However, among the remaining princes today, they are basically more savvy than the last. Because the Jin army is too powerful now, all the princes will unite to fight against the Jin army. Some princes even join forces to fight against the Jin army.
Let’s put aside the grievances between them for now.
But now Li Tang really doesn't want to see the Qin army become stronger, so he must use weapons again to prevent the Qin army from becoming stronger as much as possible.
Li Shimin had his own ambitions. He didn't want to live in such a small land. He never wanted to. What he really wanted was the splendid mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty.
However, if Li Shimin really wanted the splendid rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, the first thing he had to solve was the Qin Army. The current Qin Army was firmly blocking any way for Li Tang to expand towards the Han Dynasty except the sea route.
If he had not taken the lead in dealing with the Qin army, it would have been impossible for Li Shimin to advance into the Central Plains. Any ambition he had would eventually turn into a dream and come to nothing.
Moreover, after resolving the civil strife within Li Tang, if Li Shimin wanted to further expand his vision, he also needed to be allowed to take action against the Qin army.
It is true that Li and Tang forces, in addition to being close to the Qin army in Youzhou, are also bordering on the grassland forces. However, with Li Shimin's current strength, he is not qualified to intervene in the grassland situation.
Although Li Shimin belonged to the grassland camp during the Grassland War, don't think that Li Tang was really a nomadic civilization. In essence, Li Tang, like the Han Dynasty, still belonged to an agricultural civilization.
With Li Tang's current cavalry strength, it is not easy to intervene in the situation on the grassland.
Moreover, if he wants to take action on the grassland, Li Tang will also face the same problem as Li Xiang, Qin Zheng, and Liu Bang, that is, whether the benefits they will get from the grassland are worth their efforts!
If they attack the grassland rashly, even if they can secure a certain territory, as a farming civilization, they will inevitably need to build cities. Is it worth spending so much manpower and material resources at this time? Is it good for them?
It is precisely because Li Xiang feels that it is not worth it now, and there is no need to slow down his pace of unifying the world. Therefore, the policy of always being defensive in the northern grasslands and intensifying the internal struggles among the grassland forces can at best only take action against the Qiang people.
That’s it!
After he completely unifies the Central Plains, he can naturally mobilize manpower and material resources to the greatest extent to solve the grassland problem!
Therefore, although it seems that Li Tang is also close to the grassland, in fact his expansion direction is only the Qin army.
Nowadays, the Qin Army is like a roadblock, blocking Li Tang's expansion path, which makes Li Tang quite troubled. If the power of the Qin Army further expands, then Li Tang wants to move
It's even more difficult to drive this roadblock.
Therefore, Li Tang could only try every means at this time to prevent the Qin army from becoming stronger.
"This is what was expected!" Fan Ju didn't look surprised at all after hearing the news. However, Sima Cuo said the news and temporarily diverted Fan Ju's attention.
After all, when he decided to go to war against Liu Bang, the high-ranking officials had already guessed that Li Tang would be unwilling to be left alone and cause trouble.
"Don't worry, the civil strife in Li Tang has just ended, and its strength has not yet been restored, so it cannot pose a real threat to our army!" Fan Ju continued to say.
Although the Qin army did not want Li Tang to cause trouble at this time, even if the other party did come, it would only be a near miss.
A series of internal turmoils in Li Tang caused by the Xuanwu Gate Incident, coupled with the Li Mi and Li Bi rebellions that followed, Li Tang had just stabilized and its strength had not yet been restored. Therefore, this time was indeed a rare opportunity for the Qin army.
The Qin Army must seize this opportunity and do its best to deal with Liu Bang. No matter how difficult it is within the Qin Army, it must do this. If it cannot seize this opportunity, then there may not be any in the future.
Such a good opportunity.
And, no matter what, after all, the senior officials of the Qin Army had already expected that Li Tang would send troops to interfere with their military operation this time. Therefore, they must have made a lot of preparations in advance.
This time, most of the remaining famous generals and fierce generals of the Qin Army were basically concentrated on the eastern front. Moreover, even if Li Tang really sent troops, Qin Zheng asked these generals not to push Li Tang back, but to defend with all their strength, and they must persist until
The moment the battlefield in the west ends.
Therefore, if it is an all-out defense, the pressure on those generals will be reduced a lot.
