This was very painful for Liu Bang. He had already known that the plank road into Bashu had been destroyed and the army could not enter at all. Moreover, the Bashu people in Xianyang had disappeared, and there was no way to find other intersections into Shu.
After returning to Bashang Camp from Xiang Yu, Liu Bang quickly summoned Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others to discuss countermeasures.
"Zhang Situ, now Xiang Yu is forcing Ri Sheng, what should we do?"
"Now Peigong's 100,000 troops are here, and the land in Guanzhong is occupied by the overlord. If we don't find a place to settle down, we will lose our base and become a straggler."
Fan Kuai is impatient and has a bad temper. He dislikes Zhang Liang's character who always talks in one way.
"Oh, you literati just like to beat around the bush when talking. You don't have to pay for your life if you are anxious, right? Pei Gong is asking you what to do, so just tell me the solution. Why are you talking so much?"
"Shut up, sir, continue talking." Liu Bang scolded and looked at Zhang Liang again.
Zhang Liang frowned. Ever since he knew that the plank road had been destroyed, he had already felt bad. He had been thinking about countermeasures for the past few days, and now he finally had some clues.
"King of Han, King Xiang actually hates the people of Qin more than you. His grandfather Xiang Yan died in the battle between Qin and Chu, so he must kill all the Qin royal family. Now that Ziying is on the run, he wants to capture Ziying alive the most.
That person is him.
"Furthermore, the King of Han and King Xiang are brothers. You can invite him to send troops to help. The two armies will work together to repair the Bashu plank road in the open and confuse the Qin army who are huddled in Shu. Secretly, send people everywhere to find the passage into Shu.
I believe that there is no perfect road, and as long as you search carefully, you will always find a new entrance."
"At that time, strange troops will suddenly arrive, and Ba and Shu can be conquered in one battle. The king of Qin and the imperial seal will be handed over to King Xiang. The king of Han only needs land. With land, everything will be available."
Liu Bang and the generals all nodded after listening to Zhang Liang's words. Zhou Bo thought for a moment and then asked: "What if, I mean what if, we really can't find another way to enter Shu. What should we do?"
"
"If that happens, the King of Han can only temporarily live under King Xiang, and things will change later."
"What you said is true. In this way, we will act at the same time. You will lead people along the Bashu border to find a new entrance, and I will go to King Xiang's camp."
"May I ask the King of Han, who are you going to talk to about this matter when you go to King Xiang's camp?"
Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang, not sure what he meant: "Who else can I turn to? Of course it's King Xiang."
Zhang Liang shook his head: "No, you should go to Chen Ping first to clarify the reason, and then go to King Xiang. As for Fan Zeng, this person is quite prejudiced against you, King of Han, so try to avoid it."
"I see."
.........
The Sichuan faction is prosperous, and more and more people are joining the army. The original 15,000 troops that entered Bashu have been expanded to 50,000 troops.
Li Feng walked out of the palace, holding an army program written on a large piece of silk in his hand, and led a group of guards to the Sichuan camp. The number of new troops was increasing, and ideological education work must be done well.
Why silk?
There is no way, Li Feng is still not used to using slips even though he has been here for a long time.
Although silk cloth is luxurious, it saves materials, can write a lot of words, and is easy to carry.
Li Feng is the emperor and can barely afford it.
Bai Zhan was instructing the army to drill. When he saw Li Feng arriving, he hurried over to greet him.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"How is soldier training?"
"Morale is like a rainbow, everything is going well, but..."
"Just what, why are you hesitating?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, there is a shortage of horses in Bashu. We are mainly infantry now and do not have strong cavalry. I am afraid that when we attack the Guanzhong Plain in the future, we will not be able to face the cavalry power of Xiang Yu and others."
"Then what's your solution?"
"This... I am incompetent. I haven't thought of it for the moment. I can only strengthen training every day."
"I don't blame you. It's good that you can do what you are doing now." Li Feng walked out of the military tent, looked at the soldiers training in full swing, and turned to Bai Zhan; "I ask you, how can an army become powerful?
.”
"A warrior who has fought a hundred battles can become powerful."
"What if it's a new army?"
"Strengthening training, clear rewards and punishments, sufficient food and grass, and strict discipline can make you strong."
"That's very well said. In fact, there is another point, which is more important than what you said. If we do this well, it can even make up for the shortcomings of our cavalry and allow the soldiers to dare to face the impact of the cavalry."
"Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
"Faith, people with faith are the most powerful people in the world, bar none."
"Your Majesty, what is faith?"
"Instruct all the officers and men to stop training and stand in front of the general stage to listen to orders. I want to give you a lecture."
After Li Feng finished speaking, he walked into the big tent first, then took out the army program that he had already prepared, spread it out, and hung it on the flagpole. When all the officers and soldiers gathered under the stage, a heroic feeling surged into his heart.
"The army is the weapon of the country and the guarantee of a country. Anyone who is a soldier needs to know who to fight for, why to fight, what to gain if you win, and what will happen if you lose."
"Of course I will fight for you, Your Majesty. If you win, you will be rewarded with level 24 military merit. If you lose, you will be compensated by the court." A young Shu general stood up below."
Li Feng smiled: "What's your name?"
"The villain Li Erdan is from Lilong Village. The general saw that I worked hard in training and promoted me to a junior high school in the army."
"Well, yes, what you just said is good, but this is just one of them, there are more important things."
"Is there anything more important than Your Majesty?" Another soldier stood up.
After this question, there was a moment of silence at the scene. The faces of Bai Zhan and other generals turned dark instantly. He was so frightened that he immediately rushed out and knelt in front of Li Feng: "Your Majesty, this person is not educated and he was not trained properly. Please punish him.
"
After saying that, he turned around and looked to his left and right: "Here comes someone. This person is cheating on you, so he is dragging him out and beheading him."
"Stop, you are fighting in vain. I haven't given the order yet. How dare you kill someone in front of me?" Li Feng pretended to be angry.
"I don't dare."
"It's okay if you don't dare."
After Li Feng scolded Bai Zhan, he stepped down from the general platform and helped up the frightened soldier: "What's your name again?"
"Young man, I can't call you a king. Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Who said I want to kill you? Those who don't know are not guilty."
After appeasing Wang Bucheng, Li Feng walked back to the podium: "Just now, Wang Bucheng asked, is there anything more important than a king? Now I tell you, what kind of king does a king want? If he is a faint king, everything in the world is more important than him.
, if he is a wise king, then he is more important than anything else in the world."
"If your husband is a soldier, there are always things he is willing to sacrifice his life for. One is to support the Ming Lord, save the world, and seek welfare for the people; the other is to protect the family and the country, and protect the fathers and fellow villagers behind him.
