Chapter 249 Lu Jia's five consecutive questions
The conclusion is definitely not available today.
The Chu State's model dictates that these generals must go back and have a thorough discussion before making a final decision.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
People who want to protect their own interests are naturally more inclined to go to Kuaiji County.
And some smart people are calculating the pros and cons.
After Liu Bang returned to his camp, he directly summoned Lu Jia and Sui He.
Sui He was Lu Jia's newly discovered strategist. Perhaps it was because they had the same odor. Both of them were sharp-tongued and well-spoken.
"Fan Gong advised the Chu army to lead the elite troops south to Kuaiji, and then expand to other counties after stabilization, using terrain to block the Han army's offensive. Lord Wu Xin followed his advice. What do you two gentlemen think?" Liu Bang was not polite and spoke directly.
asked.
Everyone knows the purpose of their meeting today, so counselors from each family are waiting at home.
Lu Jia frowned slightly and looked at each other with Sui He, both of them had almost the same expression.
"Lord, the overall strategy is correct. Although Chu and Han have not yet met directly, the Chu army's strategy has long been eroded step by step by the Han army. Now there is not much competitiveness. Going south can effectively preserve the Chu army.
strength, but this process is also extremely difficult and dangerous." Lu Jia said.
Being able to speak sharply does not mean that he can just speak.
You will still have the IQ you should have, otherwise no matter how much you open your mouth to talk, you will never get to the point. What's the use of that?
Although Lu Jia was not as resourceful as Xiao He and Cao Shen, there was currently no one under Liu Bang's command, and Lu Jia was already the most handsome one.
"The Han army has scouts all over the world. The Han army will definitely know the movements of the Chu army. However, it is not realistic to move quietly, unless these generals just leave and leave all the troops behind, but in this case, there is no point in going south."
"And the Han army has now formed a main force of 350,000 people in the west, with the King of Han personally in charge. They are pressing forward step by step. They have been recharging their strength for a long time and are ready to go into battle at any time. In the north, there are more than 250,000 people from Wang Li's army, and in the south, there are more than 250,000 people from Wang Li's army.
Han Xin has more than 100,000 men, and now Han Xin has arrived near Xiapi. No matter where the Chu army retreats from, Han Xin will definitely block the Chu army's path south." Fastest update on PC::/
"One of the doubts today is how long can Han Xin hold off the Chu army? If the Chu army can't defeat Han Xin in a short time, then the Han army's pursuers from behind will surround him, thus pulling him into a decisive battle in the wild where the Han army is best at
.”
"The second doubt is that even if we can get rid of the encirclement and interception of the Han army, how can we divide the area into Kuaiji County alone, with dozens of lords and hundreds of nobles of Chu State? With my current status, how can I get there?
Can I get my own county?"
"The third doubt is that even if we can win a single county, the miasma in the south will still be a huge threat to the lord, and it will even be more serious than the damage caused by the battle."
"The fourth doubt is that the King of Han quickly comes to know people and make good use of them, and promotes generals without any strict rules. If the lord enters Kuaiji, what will the King of Han do if the whole army selects generals who are good at fighting in the environment of Kuaiji County?"
"The fifth doubt is that most of my lord's subordinates are soldiers from Xue and Dang counties. Now that Xue and Dang counties are Han territories, there are signs of instability in the military morale. The Han army is taking multiple measures. Are the soldiers willing to give up everything?
Are you going south with your lord?"
Lu Jia raised five doubts in succession.
Liu Bang's face gradually became solemn, and the road was really getting narrower.
The soldiers from Dang County were able to follow him to Xue County because the two places were separated from each other. Although they left their hometown, they also got benefits.
But now it is undoubtedly more difficult for them to follow him south.
The most important thing is, go south!
Although some people may not know about miasma, almost everyone knows that going south is tantamount to death.
Whenever the topic of going south is mentioned, many people’s expressions change upon hearing it.
What you hear is always scarier than what you see with your own eyes.
Even Tu Sui, the general of the Qin Dynasty who was named after Meng Tian, died there, and almost all his troops were wiped out. With this precedent, who would dare to go? Who would dare to go?
Speaking of one thousand to ten thousand, the soldiers can surrender to the Han State after being defeated. Anyway, they are just grassroots little shit.
Many people had surrendered before, but the Han State did not make things difficult for them.
This is a good publicity case.
Since you can still live if you surrender to the Han Dynasty, and you can even live no worse than you are now, then why should I follow you south to escape death?
"My lord, I feel that the Chu army's strategy of going south this time will definitely end in failure. Firstly, there may not be many people willing to follow, and secondly, the King of Han knows how to make good use of people. Although Han Xin is not well-known, he has proved it many times.
, The King of Han has a very good vision when it comes to the appointment and removal of generals. Since Han Xin can serve as a general without any statement, there must be something the King of Han likes about him..." Suihe followed up.
The current situation is that whoever the King of Han uses will perform meritorious deeds.
The king of Han favored anyone as a famous general, even if he didn't want to.
Guan Ying, Chen Tieshan, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and even the least famous Song Yi can manage a county steadily.
Although Peng Yue, one of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty, has disappeared, there are rumors that Peng Yue served as the scout governor of the Han Kingdom. In the past year, have the scouts of the Han Kingdom brought too little psychological shadow to them?
Thinking of this, Sui He continued: "Furthermore, I heard that Han Xin once led his troops to travel hundreds of miles a day..."
Liu Bang's expression suddenly changed.
This means that for the time being, it does not matter whether Han Xin can fight or not.
At least Han Xin's marching speed could definitely block or catch up with the Chu army.
As a result, the Chu army's crisis increased.
"My lord, there is no need to worry so much. Compared with them, my lord still has an advantage that they don't have!" Sui He continued.
"Huh? What advantages do I have?" Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, as if to say, why didn't I know that I had advantages?
Sui He smiled. It seemed that it had been so long that Liu Bang himself had forgotten.
"My lord, have you forgotten Commander Xiao and Commander Cao?"
Liu Bang was suddenly stunned, yes, how could he have forgotten them both?
Although the two of them left him unprepared, based on Liu Bang's understanding of them, there must be their reasons for this.
Sui He continued: "My lord, I heard that Military Advisor Xiao is now a minister of the Han Dynasty. He is one of the three highest-ranking officials among the ministers of the Han Kingdom. The three of them are even more similar to the prime minister. Military Advisor Cao is now Chen Tieshan.
As long as the two of them can speak kind words to the lord in front of the King of Han, the lord will receive much better treatment than others. Even if it means appeasing Military Advisors Xiao and Cao, the King of Han will agree.
