Jiujiang Kingdom has the Chu Kingdom in the east and Baiyue in the south. Although the weak Henan Kingdom and Han Dynasty are in the north, Yingbu cannot easily take action due to the presence of the Western Wei and Chu Kingdoms.

The only vassal state that could be easily conquered by Ying Bu's troops was Linjiang State in the west, which was still loyal to King Huai of Chu.

Yingbu assigned tasks to all the men except Ge Liang, and Ben He took them to the army for training.

In the royal court, Ge Liang still lowered his head and said nothing.

The violent Yingbu was surprisingly patient, sitting on the throne and looking at Ge Liang quietly.

Fu Lige Ying was neither a king nor a marquis, but he was able to secure the top position among the commanders of Chen Sheng's army by virtue of his military exploits. No matter whether he was a knight-errant, a local hermit, or an old minister from various countries, he could only be content to be below him.

"The King of Jiujiang doesn't have to force it." Ge Liang said, "If my Ge family lived in Fuli and devoted themselves to farming, there would definitely be no disasters. Whether the princes, generals and ministers are born noble, I don't know. I only know that Ge

My family does not have this blessing."

"There is no need to be so downcast. The Ge family is a family of generals and ministers that are favored by everyone." Yingbu said decisively, "It was Chen Sheng who was not destined to become king. This is why brother Ge Ying was hurt!"

Yingbu stood up quickly, not bothering to take into account his status as king, and knelt down in front of Ge Liang.

Yingbu pointed to the northeast and said urgently, "Back then, the 'false king' Wu Guang led a heavy army to attack Xingyang for a long time. Chen Sheng, the commander of Tian Zang, was impatient and spread false news to kill Wu Guang. They didn't know that at that time, Zhou Wen had already taken a detour to attack.

We have passed Hangu Pass. As long as Tian Zang is patient and Wu Guang and Zhou Wen join forces, the world of Qin will already belong to Chen Sheng. A Liang, do you think this means Chen Sheng has no luck?"

"At that time, my father is no longer here. It doesn't matter who belongs to the world." Ge Liang said in a low voice.

"Don't you understand, Ah Liang?" Yingbu urged, "If brother Ge Ying were here, Xingyang would have been captured long ago before that good-for-nothing Wu Guang led the troops. It was brother Ge Ying who was killed if he followed the wrong person.

."

Ge Liang sighed silently. After his father died, the family could only rely on his hard work to make a living.

The folks who originally respected their father also made things difficult for the Ge family inexplicably. After Xiang Yu conquered the world, the Ge family, as Chen Sheng's old ministers, were often ridiculed and ostracized in Fuli, Chu.

"Isn't the life of the Ge family difficult these years?" Yingbu asked, "As long as you follow me, bring your family to Jiujiang, and help me conquer the world. Whatever you want, I will give you."

"The King of Jiujiang has misjudged the wrong person, and I can't help you." Ge Liang refused, "Deng Tong is very high-spirited, so he should fight hard and help Jiujiang. His father Deng Zong once led an army to capture Jiujiang County. In the future, Deng Tong will also

As it should be."

"Deng Zong is a piece of shit!" Yingbu scolded, "He can only open warehouses and release grain to win people's hearts. What's so praiseworthy about sending tens of thousands of people to attack a Chu land whose people's hearts are against Qin? In the end, he didn't die in defeat!"

"Zhou Wen was once a disciple of Chunshen Lord Huang Xie. He was proficient in the art of war and could predict the good or bad luck of envoys. The King of Jiujiang can reuse his son Zhou Chang." Ge Liang said lightly.

"When calculating good or bad luck, why didn't he calculate that he himself would be killed by Zhang Han? If he is familiar with the art of war, how could he lose to a young man from the Qin State?" Yingbu said disdainfully, "He is from Wei, and he is familiar with Hangu Pass.

It’s just the terrain, so we can take a detour to enter the pass and gain a false reputation by luck.”

"In addition to these two, Deng Shuo, Wu Chen, Zhu Jishi, Yu Fanjun... are all famous generals. If the King of Jiujiang finds their descendants, they can also help Jiujiang achieve hegemony." Ge Liang said.

"These people? Hahahahaha." Yingbu couldn't help but laugh, "You wouldn't believe it yourself, Ah Liang, if you say this, right?"

In Yingbu's view, only Ge Ying, who fought with the county governor and county magistrate at the beginning of Chen Sheng's uprising, could be considered a hero. Chen Sheng became the leader, and people turned their backs on Qin and turned to Chu. The generals who led the army later were just taking advantage of the situation.

.

What's more, the people Ge Liang mentioned had official positions in vain, or died in civil strife among Chen Sheng's army, or were attacked by Zhang Han and were vulnerable to a single blow. Even if they survived, they defected to Xiang Liang and were entrusted with the important task of defending the city.

It was also quickly breached.

He could be favored by Yingbu, but the people he wanted to win over were all in Jiujiang, and Ge Liang was just trying to shirk.

Yingbu was not angry but happy. If Ge Liang really wanted to live in the countryside, he would not know the names of so many generals. Ge Liang was still unwilling.

"Alas." Yingbu sighed deliberately, "Times make heroes. Brother Ge Ying has missed a great opportunity. Fortunately, the times have not passed yet. If A Liang catches it, even if Brother Ge Ying dies, he will be remembered by future generations.

He is the father of heroes. If later generations of scholars painstakingly research the history, they will still marvel at Brother Ge Ying's achievements. If he misses it, Brother Ge Ying is really just a reckless minister who was killed by Chen Sheng!"

Yingbu's tone was ups and downs, and Ge Liang's expression moved slightly when he was told that his father's reputation was what Ge Liang cared about most.

"Then...what is King Jiujiang's plan?" Ge Liang suddenly asked.

"Of course." Yingbu said with a smile, quickly took the map, opened it and placed it in front of Ge Liang.

"Prince Qin Ying is blocked by the pass, so let him fight Dong Yi first. Although there are capable people in Bashu, they are not strong enough. Jiujiang only needs to surround and suppress them, even if they are powerless and have nowhere to do anything." Yingbu analyzed,

"Wei Wangbao, Chen Yu, Tian Rong, Zang Tu, and Han Xin are the biggest enemies, but they are all in the north and there is no war with Jiujiang for the time being. The few of them enlisted Baiyue to destroy the Linjiang Kingdom first, and then took advantage of Xiang Yu's unpreparedness to attack Chu.

In the country, Jiujiang is the only one in the south!"

After Yingbu finished speaking, he looked at Ge Liang with a smile. He believed that this plan was the best way to do it at the right time.

No matter how powerful Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, is, he is still a man without any ambition. He is still his father-in-law and will definitely not stand in his way.

If the south is determined, just watch quietly and watch the northern princes fight, and then conspire with King Zang Tu of Yan to attack them one by one. Finally, Zang Tu will be destroyed and hegemony will be achieved.

Ge Liang frowned slightly and kept shaking his head, "This plan is a way to bring about the crisis of national destruction in Jiujiang."

"How do you say this?!" Yingbu's face froze.

"The prerequisite for the expansion of Jiujiang is the demise of Chu State. If the attack on Linjiang State is successful, it will be extremely profitable. If Xiang Yu knew it, he would not let another powerful country appear around Chu State. How could he not send troops to attack it?"

"A Liang is too worried. Xiang Yu is entangled with Tian Rong and has no time to take care of Jiujiang." Yingbu said with a smile, "If Qi is destroyed, even if Xiang Yu does not annex Qi to Chu, he will still be the target of Chen Yu and Han Xin's crusade. At that time

They are also close to the Chu State. I also helped Xiang Yu kill King Huai of Chu, so he had no reason to attack Jiujiang first."

"I will definitely attack Jiujiang first!" Ge Liang said firmly.

"Why?" Yingbu felt a little panicked.

"Just rely on Xiang Yu to attack Qi, and you won't be able to defeat it for a long time!" Ge Liang said, "In terms of national strength, the five strongest princes of the eighteen princes in the world combined are no match for Xiang Yu. This is true even when Xiang Yu personally conquered Qi.

It’s laborious, doesn’t King Jiujiang think it’s weird?”

"What Ah Liang means is that Xiang Yu didn't use all his strength?" Yingbu touched his chin and thought.

"I didn't even use half of my strength." Ge Liang shook his head.

"Why is this?"

"There must be two reasons." Ge Liang analyzed. "The first is to send troops to prepare for Jiujiang's sneak attack. In this attack on Qi, Xiang Yu brought Zhongli Mei but did not bring Sima Longju. Sima Longju often fought with Xiang Yu separately, so he must have

He led troops to ambush around Jiujiang. Secondly, the stalemate was deliberately held to give other princes time to attack each other. Once Qi was destroyed, Xiang Yu would have reason to attack other countries. The King of Jiujiang's attack on Linjiang was an excuse for Xiang Yu.

."

Ge Liang paused and continued, "If the princes want to conquer the world, they must first rule the south or the north. There are too many powerful princes in the north, and it will be difficult to unify the north. But Jiujiang in the south is what Xiang Yu cares about most.

"

"So, we can't attack the Linjiang Kingdom? But if this happens, Jiujiang will not be able to strengthen the country." Yingbu said anxiously. He had long been interested in the land in Nanyang and was unwilling to leave it to Gong Ao.

.

"Linjiang State can be attacked, but you must not think that Xiang Yu is entangled and send troops to Chu State. That is a way to seek death." Ge Liang explained.

Yingbu looked down at the map and thought.

"After the incident was completed, I blamed Bashu for attacking the Linjiang Kingdom, and announced to the outside world that I would help Cong Ao take revenge, and occupied Nanyang just to besiege Bashu. But...I am afraid that just after I sent troops, Sima Longju sent troops to Jiujiang, and he couldn't wait

When you are trying to shirk...what should you do?"

"The King of Jiujiang has overlooked one thing. There is more than just Jiujiang in the south of the river." Ge Liang pointed to the south of Linjiang Kingdom, "Wurui, the King of Hengshan, has powerful Baiyue soldiers, but they are always ignored by the princes just because they are not warlike. If

If you use a strategy to make him send troops to other countries first, Xiang Yu will be even more afraid."

"Father-in-law? This is not good." Yingbu frowned.

Although Yingbu did not fear Wu Rui, he still regarded Wu Rui as his support. He felt that it was not worth sacrificing a powerful country like this for a piece of Nanyang.

"Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, was originally named 'Pojun' by Prime Minister Li Si of Qin. He once helped Qin stabilize the Poyang area, but he only responded to Chen Sheng when he couldn't get used to the fame and the difficulty of living. Seeing that Chen Sheng was immoral, he did not help him avenge Chen Sheng after his death.

, reorganized his troops, and instead followed Xiang Liang, who had a better reputation. This kind of person has a righteous heart and will definitely not send troops to help just because the King of Jiujiang is his son-in-law, life or death does not matter." Ge Liang reminded.

"I don't care about the Wu family. I don't believe that a righteous person will ignore the family ties." Yingbu shook his head and said.

"Family ties will be taken into consideration." Ge Liang suddenly closed his eyes tightly, "But the King of Jiujiang and Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops together, which has already made Wu Rui feel cold. This is the reason why he will never send troops."

"There is some truth to this... These righteous people are troublesome." Yingbu frowned and cursed, "I'm afraid it's because of this that he didn't send troops to follow Xiang Yu."

"It would be great if the King of Jiujiang can let go." Ge Liang said solemnly.

"Hahaha..." Yingbu suddenly showed an evil smile, "I don't even regard him as a relative, so there is no way to let him go."

"I...I'm not talking about Wu Rui, I'm talking about my wife!" Ge Liang gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "If you want Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, to send troops to Linjiang, you must let the king of Jiujiang and his wife die in the hands of the king of Linjiang! So!
