Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 490
"Ziying's soldiers are too aggressive. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid he won't be the opponent of Ziying. I want to give up Wancheng. Qingqi Jian entered the pass from a strong attack on Wuguan, and joined forces with Zhao Gao to attack Ziying. I don't know who Situ Yi is?" Liu Bang finished reading this A letter of alliance, and handed it to Zhang Liang who was at the side again.

Zhang Liang's identity at this time was still a Korean Situ, so Liu Bang called him by his official position.

Zhang Liang took the alliance letter and checked it from beginning to end again, frowning like bark. Although Liu Bang's idea can be said to be a dangerous military move, once it succeeds, he can indeed enter Guanzhong first.

And if you delay some time in Wancheng and let Ziying destroy Zhao Gaoping, you and Liu Bang will have to abandon the city and flee when the Qin army's army leaves the pass.

Zhao Gao wrote in the alliance book that he had secretly removed the second emperor of Qin, turned against Qin, and established himself as the king of Zhao.

Now Qin Ziying has broken through Wuguan and is attacking Xianyang City. Although Ziying has a strong army, but Zhao Gao has been in Xianyang for many years, and the high walls of Xianyang City are thick.

The reason why Zhao Gao sent this letter of alliance was that he himself might not be Ziying's opponent, no matter how strong and helpless Xianyang City is, he would eventually be destroyed one day.

Therefore, Zhao Gao hoped to form an alliance with Liu Bang, attacking Ziying's army back and forth, and then dividing Guanzhong equally, and king each other.

Zhao Gao also mentioned in the alliance book that in order to break through Xianyang as soon as possible, Ziying had already drawn all the forces that could be mobilized to the city of Xianyang.

If this is the case, the defense force of Wuguan must be extremely empty now, which creates the possibility of a surprise attack on Wuguan.

Jin is very likely to make great achievements in the world. If he doesn't advance, he can only wait for the result of the Guanzhong competition and flee in embarrassment. Liu Bang is no longer calm at this moment.

"Pei Gong, can you give Liang another three days, after which Liang will never obstruct Pei Gong's westward advance." Zhang Liang looked at it again and again, although he also felt that Liu Bang's decision was right in reasoning, but he always felt that Liu Bang's decision was correct. Inappropriate, so I asked Liu Bang to wait another three days.

"Sir, why don't you wait another three days." Liu Bang replied grandly.

"Xie Peigong."

……

Outside of Wuguan, most of the area is covered by dense forests. At this time, on a small hillside near Wuguan, a man dressed as a woodcutter, relying on the cover of forest leaves, stared at the city of Wuguan intently.

After a while, Wuguan switched defenses, and he silently remembered in his mind: "The defense changes every two hours, ten people for each section of the city wall."

He has been observing this time period and the number of people for a whole day, and he can't be wrong.

Lifting a small bundle of firewood beside him, the man prepared to go back along the mountain road to the way he had come.

He had already followed Zhang Liang when he was in Xiapi, and although he could not stand alone, he was much more careful than some big soldiers.

If an ordinary scout came to investigate, he would never think of getting a bundle of firewood to carry on his back, but he walked here with firewood on his back, since he was pretending to be a woodcutter, he had to pretend to be a little bit.

Be cautious in everything you do, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Liang sent him to investigate.

After walking in the forest for a while, he suddenly noticed a sound of footsteps coming from the front. At this time, the two were already very close to each other. If he could spot each other, the other must have also spotted him.

He carried the firewood on his back and walked towards the direction of the sound, bypassing a thick tree, and there was a woodcutter carrying firewood in front of him.

Seeing that the other party was also carrying firewood, he immediately concluded in his heart that this must be a real woodcutter.

I only got this cleverness after following my husband for several years, how could an ordinary scout have such a cleverness in his head.

After thinking about this, he immediately leaned forward with enthusiasm.

"I don't quite lose my way when I go out to collect firewood. I don't know where this is?"

"This is Xixian County, but it is already in the westernmost part of Xixian County. After passing the previous pass, you will enter Guanzhong." The woodcutter who appeared suddenly was obviously taken aback, and then continued: "Which Zhuangzi do you belong to? Why don't I know you."

"There are four or five hills to the east of my house, and I got here after getting lost in the mountains." The doorman of Zhang Liang replied, "So this is Wuguan. It's really tall and strong. Look at it. It would be great if I could join the soldiers on patrol back and forth.”

However, the woodcutter who appeared suddenly said with disdain for his words: "You lost your way too late. If you lost your way a few days ago, it would be spectacular to close it. Now the number of soldiers closed is at most one-third of what it was before. .”

"It's such a pity." Instinctively, the doorman felt as if he had discovered important information.

"Thank you, brother, for your guidance. I'm eager to go home. I'll go ahead." He couldn't wait to go back and report the big news to Zhang Liang.

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

What the two of them didn't know was that there were no villages within tens of miles of Wuguan, so how could there be woodcutters.

……

Wancheng, Liu Bangjun.

"Pei Gong, our army should move west quickly. Once we delay in Wancheng for too long and let Ziying pacify Guanzhong, then Guanzhong will never be easily breached again." It was Liu Bang's other important adviser at this time who was speaking. Li Shiqi.

To say that this Li Shiqi had opened his mouth before. As soon as he defected to Liu Bang, he said that Chen Liu had surrendered. In the original history, he even said that he had surrendered more than [-] cities in Qi State with just one mouth.

In the history in Ziying's memory, Liu Bang wanted to bypass Wancheng because he wanted to compete with Xiang Yu for the first position in Guanzhong. However, at this moment, there are more reasons not to allow Ziying to stabilize his foothold in Guanzhong.

Ziying is not comparable to people like Emperor II and Zhao Gao.

Liu Bang glanced at Zhang Liang in embarrassment. You must know that Zhang Liang has been strongly opposed to the plan to bypass Wancheng, and Zhang Liang is also the help he is trying to win.

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and it could be faintly heard that they wanted to see Zhang Liang.

Wen Yin, all the generals in the tent frowned, Zhang Liang's subordinate was really unruly.

"Situ's subordinates must have something urgent to tell you. Why don't you invite them in and see what kind of event can disrupt Pei Gong's military discussions." Li Shiqi said with a smile.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liang already knew who was making the noise outside, it was the doorman he sent to Wuguan to check, but he was always steady, this time since he was so anxious, he might have indeed picked up important information.

Seeing Zhang Liang nodding his head silently, Liu Bang ordered to bring in the noisy people.

"Why are you making such a fuss, but just say so." As soon as this man came in, Li Shiqi said to him first: "You must know that it is a serious crime to disturb the military discussion if there is nothing to do!"

"Since Mr. Guangye is so curious, what did you find out, but say yes." Zhang Liang followed closely behind and directed at his retainers.

"I was ordered by Situ to go to Wuguan to investigate. Wuguan now changes defenses every two hours, and each defense is ten people, which is less than one-third of the previous one."

"Is what you said true?" As soon as the doorman finished speaking, Liu Bang stood up as soon as he clapped the table.

If the information detected by this doorman is true, then Wuguan must be as stated in Zhao Gaomeng's book. Now is the time when foreign powers are in power, and the hope of forcibly breaking through is very high.

"What I say is what I have seen with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no falsehood." The doorman replied swearing.

"Hahahaha... Heaven help me!" Liu Bang laughed and said, "Hurry up and send this strong man back to rest, and reward him with a hundred gold."

After speaking, Liu Bang turned his gaze to Zhang Liang's direction. This guest was sent by Zhang Liang, so Zhang Liang should no longer object to sending troops.

Seeing Liu Bang looking at him, Zhang Liang had no choice but to get up and said, "Liang attached the proposal to send troops to Wuguan."
