Chapter 187 Reappearance of the Hongmen Banquet in Ancient Times
Compared with Zhi Shilang and Wang Bo fighting against the Han army at the foot of Mount Tai, Chen Youliang's army on the top of Mount Tai was surging undercurrents, working step by step, and gradually controlling the soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain!
Chen Youliang first, with the cooperation of generals Lu Nan and Lou Shiqian, successfully gathered their military power and firmly held a group of soldiers in his hands.
Then he cooperated with Wu Guang and others to repeat the same trick and use the "Hongmen Banquet" to successfully win the heart of Wang Bo's general Gao Yaxian. As for Liu Shiche who came to the banquet with Gao Yaxian, he was arranged by Chen Youliang because of his unclear attitude.
The subordinates were placed under house arrest!
The first task after subduing Gao Yaxian is to take away the military power from his hands, control that military power in his own hands, and strengthen his current strength.
Liu Shiche was put under house arrest by himself, and his soldiers had no one to lead them, so they would definitely panic and look for the general. At this time, Chen Youliang came up with a plan to steal the news and send Wu Guang, his subordinate, as the acting commander to smooth over the soldiers under Liu Shiche's command.
To put it nicely, it is called running-in, but to put it worse, it is called brainwashing! Wu Guang cooperated with his skills and brainwashed him.
After another day, Chen Youliang has successfully completed most of his plan. Next, it’s time to deal with Liu Lancheng, Wang Bo’s chief military advisor!
As for Liu Lancheng, it is probably impossible for Chen Youliang and others to use tricks to get him back. The only way is to show good intentions to lure him into the house for a banquet, and then directly come to an overlord to forcefully put him under house arrest.
He removed his military power and other powers and waited until Chen Youliang had the overall situation on Mount Tai under his control before persuading Liu Lan to be loyal to him.
"Lord, I have a plan to make Liu Lancheng and Wang Bo separate, or even abandon Wang Bo and join you, my lord!"
Li Chui, the poisonous scholar who followed Chen Youliang, felt a thump in his heart, and the plan of alienation was finally settled, and then he softly told Chen Youliang his inner thoughts, how to make Liu Lancheng and Wang Bo go against each other.
First, let’s talk about Liu Lancheng. As Wang Bo’s subordinate, he was loyal to Wang Bo on his way to the Taishan hegemony. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Chen Youliang and others to alienate his relationship with Wang Bo.
But now was not the time. Zhishilang Wangbo was now fighting the Han army at the foot of Mount Tai. He was unable to advance, could not retreat, had lost troops and generals, and was in dire straits.
The stalemate at the foot of Mount Tai made Chishiro Wangbo a little worried about whether Chen Youliang on the mountain would have ambitions to plot a rebellion.
"Even if Chen Youliang rebels, there will still be military advisors to deal with it.
The military advisor has followed me through life and death for many years, and he will definitely not betray me. Besides, his wife, children, and children are all within my control, so there is no way he could betray me."
Wang Bo had a tight control over his military advisor Liu Lancheng, and Liu Lancheng himself knew this, but because he was so loyal to Wang Bo, he did not care about the lives of his wife, children, and children.
And this gave Chen Youliang the opportunity to make a breakthrough!
After hearing the plan of the poisonous scholar Li Chui, Chen Youliang first wrote a letter inviting Liu Lancheng to come to his house for a banquet.
The moment the letter was sent to the Liu Mansion, Chen Youliang immediately arranged for his soldiers to prepare delicious food and wine for the banquet, and then sent three generals, Na Lu Nan, Lou Shiqian, and Gao Yaxian, to hide behind the scenes with more than fifty bows and crossbows.
Hands waiting for opportunities to move!
The preparations have been made, and the next step is the most critical step, which is to invite Liu Lancheng and welcome him to his mansion for a banquet.
"Come and prepare your horses! Head to Liu's Mansion"
Chen Youliang got on his horse, took the poisonous scholar Li Chui with him, prepared a carriage, and went to Liu Lancheng's house to invite him to a banquet.
Liu Mansion was not very close to Chen Youliang's house, nor was it particularly far away. However, with such a distance, Chen Youliang walked for more than a quarter of an hour, building momentum along the way. All the soldiers in Taishan knew that Liu Lancheng was going to Chen Youliang's Mansion.
feast.
This scene made some generals in the army look a little stunned. Even the military adviser had a good relationship with Chen Youliang, so how could he and others not understand the current affairs?
This is Chen Youliang's purpose, to take this opportunity to make some undecided generals in the army think, and then gradually lean towards him. Even if they don't surrender, he can make friends with many generals, which will also be conducive to the subsequent consolidation and consolidation of Taishan forces.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and Chen Youliang arrived outside Liu Lancheng's mansion smoothly. He got off his horse and personally led Li Chui, the poisonous scholar, to dismount. Then he went to Liu's mansion and asked the gatekeeper to notify Liu Lancheng that he and others were coming.
"General Chen Youliang is here, go and report!"
The Liu Mansion servant hurried away, and almost another quarter of an hour passed before Liu Lancheng walked out of the mansion!
Looking at his face, he has sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, small mustache, and thin lips.
He is tall and thin, with his sleeves hanging down from his knees like a fairy, wearing a plain silk scarf...
Chen Youliang saw Liu Lancheng's appearance and sighed subconsciously.
"Sir, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
On the other hand, Liu Lancheng came out of the house to greet Chen Youliang and others. As soon as he left the house, he saw that Chen Youliang had prepared the carriage. It would be bad if he didn't go to the banquet now... Liu Lancheng's eyes were shining with uncertainty!
Chen Youliang smiled evilly and looked at Liu Lancheng meaningfully, which made Liu Lancheng's heart skip a beat. He couldn't escape this time.
"I haven't had the chance to visit you since I went to Mount Tai! Today I'm here to invite you, and I also asked the military advisor to honor you and go to the banquet."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Lancheng couldn't refuse, and he hesitated and didn't know what to say. Chen Youliang smiled slightly, strode forward and took Liu Lancheng's hand, not giving him a chance to refuse, and then brought him in with enthusiasm.
own carriage, and then asked the carriage driver to rush back to the mansion as quickly as possible...
Seeing the carriage speeding towards his house, Chen Youliang was so happy that he got on his horse and returned to his house with the soldiers who were following him.
Time flies by!
The carriage arrived outside Chen Youliang's house. At this time, Chen Youliang and others rushed to get there. Chen Youliang got off his horse and trotted to the carriage. He helped Liu Lancheng out of the carriage, then grabbed his hand and pulled him
Take it into your own home and arrange a banquet.
"Sir, you are a distinguished guest and should be treated as a honored guest!"
Liu Lancheng was treated as a guest by Chen Youliang, and the poisonous scholar Li Chui was arranged by Chen Youliang to sit beside him and sit on an equal footing with him. As for the soldiers under his command, they found their own seats on the left and right, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Everything was ready! Chen Youliang waved his hand, music played in the hall, maids served wine and delicacies, and dancers danced in the hall...
The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak, and everyone in the hall was intoxicated!
