One or two princes had an appointment with the Qin army in the city, but the content vaguely revealed that they did not raise their troops in the same direction, but just did not attack each other. This was Chen Ping's cleverness.

If Liu Bang intercepted the letter, he would definitely be suspicious of the content. If Chen Ping said in the letter that there were princes colluding with the Qin army and trying to surrender or rebel, Liu Bang's first reaction would be to alienate the Qin State.

Together, anyone with some eyesight can see the end of Qin.

But now, Chen Ping just said a few words and made an agreement not to attack each other, which increased many possibilities. The purpose of not fighting each other is to preserve strength. In these troubled times, strength determines everything, and Liu Bang doesn't do the same.

It is natural for the princes to have such thoughts when deliberately expanding their military strength.

If all the coalition forces have the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, Liu Bang does not have the courage and domineering power of Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat. With the strength of his men alone, it is obvious that he is no match for Xingyang. Therefore, Liu Bang is in doubt.

Next, he will have an attitude of preferring to believe what he has rather than what he believes. He will be more wary of the coalition princes, and at the same time, he will speed up the integration and annexation.

Haste makes waste, and turning into a big fat man in one bite is just a folk legend. It is conceivable that when Liu Bang corrupted the princes and generals with his gentle elder demeanor, and when Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others used brotherly loyalty to win over the warriors, those who were about to

What will be the reaction of the princes who will become a mere barbarian?

Resistance is inevitable.

As for how big a storm it can stir up, it mainly depends on the ability of the princes. But after thinking about it, these are just things whose names are mentioned in the history books, so it is good enough to cause Liu Bang a few days of unhappiness.

Time is precious to both parties.

Once the letter asking for help is sent out, Liu Bang's scouts will be able to intercept at most five or six out of ten. When Zhang Han's army, Wang Li's army and Li Yuan's army in Luoyang come together to suppress them, Liu Bang will face a situation of being surrounded and annihilated.

Chen Ping's plan is based on human psychology and targets human weaknesses. It can be described as extremely vicious. Li Yuan asked himself, if he were in Liu Bang's perspective, he would have no way to deal with it except retreat.

Measures, of course, except for unreasonable men like Xiang Yu.

The courage of the overlord has already made the opponents fear him. He ignores it and breaks the city with force. This is Xiang Yu's style.

Li Yuan was looking forward to meeting this super fierce man who single-handedly destroyed the Qin army in the near future.

Counting famous people, let’s look at the present day.

In the battles again and again, Li Yuan's self-confidence gradually grew. He was no longer a mere pawn with no status. Under his command, thousands of troops responded to every call and directed their spears at the enemy.

With the arrival of Chen Ping, Li Yuan's weaknesses in counselors were gradually overcome. As far as Chen Ping's suggestions this time, to a large extent, Li Yuan was able to rely on his lone brigade to support him.

The troops under my command were liberated. Seeing the army under my command grow day by day, and seeing one or two counselors come to join them as they gradually become available, this feeling of development is actually the most fulfilling.

Among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He, Chen Ping's name was not included. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who is now blocked at the gate of Xingyang City, used the phrase "more than enough wisdom but not enough ability" to evaluate Chen Ping.

comments, but in fact, Chen Ping's contribution to Liu Bang was not much worse than that of the Three Heroes.

Chen Ping was good at scheming, and the first strategy he proposed for Liu Bang was a counterintuitive plan, which caused the overlord Xiang Yu to lose his only strategist, Fan Zeng, thus setting the general tone for the conflict between Chu and Han, with the rise of Han and the fall of Chu.

Li Yuan did not pay too much attention to the rumors about Chen Ping's bad behavior. In fact, perfect people did not exist. Chen Ping's greed for money and lust could not cover up his intelligence.

Zhang Han and Wang Li were both stationed in Zhao, north of the river. The two most powerful armies of the Qin State were competing for credit because of their different affiliations. This has to be said to be the tragedy of the centralized state of Qin.

I believe that if the First Emperor was still alive, he would immediately summon Zhang Han and Wang Li back to Xianyang, seize the military power, and let these two generals who only care about their own little calculations go home and retire.

The First Emperor had gathered great power in one body, and his realm had reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, after his death, his successors were both visionary and ambitious. The generals who were accustomed to being commanded by the central government also lost their restraints and became

nation.

These two words have been mentioned since the day when the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms. To understand the two words separately, it means that only when there is a country, there is a family. Without a country, there is no family. It is the so-called family, country and world.

Unfortunately, the Qin Empire was destined to decline with the departure of this powerful figure due to the great ambition of the First Emperor. Relying on personal strength, after all, could not make a country peaceful and prosperous for a long time.

That night.

Xingyang's closed north gate and west gate suddenly opened, and numerous Qin army scouts galloped out. The Qin cavalry's horses were tied with thick wormwood, which made it difficult for Liu Bang's search troops to intercept.

A lot.

Li Yuan's personal soldiers held the flag. Bai Guangji, who had just made a great contribution by killing the enemy in the city, was wearing black soft armor and holding an exquisite crossbow machine. In the arrow pot on his waist, twenty crossbow arrows were neatly placed

Arranged, they are the sharpest weapons Bai Guangji can rely on.

There were nineteen other couriers who left the city at the same time as Bai Guangji. The letters they carried were all copied according to the content drawn up by Chen Ping. If one of them failed, they sent two or three. It was Li Yuan and Chen Ping's idea. In addition to asking for

In addition to sending the letter to Zhang Han, Wang Lichu also had Liu Bang's scouts discover the messenger and intercept several letters.

There is a plan within the plan.

It just depends on whether Liu Bang can see through it, and even if he sees it through, how he will deal with it.

Recently, the fierce businessman Guan Ying has been somewhat alone in Liu Bang's army. In the past, he and Fan Kuai could be said to be fierce warriors in Liu Bang's army. The two had a good friendship. They often competed with each other in martial arts, and they got along well.

Guan Ying also gained a firm foothold in front of Liu Bang because of Fan Kuai's move.

But now, Fan Kuai died in battle, and Guan Ying lost his support. He originally wanted to avenge Fan Kuai, but his several attacks on Xingyang ended in illness. This not only made Guan Ying feel guilty, but also made Liu Bang's attitude towards Guan Ying also change.

Started to spread out.
