The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

After casually making the harsh comment about "young chickens pecking each other", Lu Bu had no idea that this fool was daring to bury his tender shell in his heart. He cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice: "How dare you?" Ask your Majesty, how many cities were slaughtered in total when they entered Jiujiang to pursue Yingbu's formation?"

Hearing this question, Xiang Yu's eyebrows jumped on the spot and he raised his eyes silently.

Her eyes were deep and deep, but she just looked at him silently without answering.

Seeing his expression like this, Lu Bu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Ever since he led his army into the eastern border of Chu State, he had seen with his own eyes the devastation, scorched flowers and withered grass. He had experienced countless miserable situations, and his heart was still touched.

He was not from Chu, so he felt some compassion that he had not seen for a long time, let alone Xiang Yu, who was the king of Chu and always loved the people of Chu?

Seeing the miserable experience of the people of Chu, they will be so angry that they will burst into rage, destroy the heaven and earth, and probably massacre the city to vent their anger.

I regret that I wasted some time in suppressing the Zhou Yin rebellion and was unable to stop it in time.

But now, looking at this reckless man, he was silent and seemed to have slaughtered so many people in anger that he could no longer even count them!

Lu Bu felt his eyes darken, and his face fell instantly.

Thinking about how easy it was to kill this idiot, but how many difficulties and obstacles it would add to his plan to dominate the world... Lu Bu actually tasted the bitter tears of raising an unfilial and prodigal son, and couldn't help but sigh.

Damn it, even if this idiot gets angry again, he should hold it in for a while, find the person who caused it, and then let him out again!

Xiang Yu quietly watched his beloved general's face change all the way, and finally seemed to be lifeless. He sighed softly for a while and said lightly: "The territory under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang was once a vassal of Chu."

Even if he was so angry that he went crazy, he would never turn his butcher knife on his former hometown elders.

Not to mention the evil deeds of being ungrateful to Ying Bu, trampling on the cities of Chu, and killing Chu people, the people of Jiujiang also felt resentful.

Lu Bu: "..."

Why didn't you tell me earlier, this bastard?

"Your Majesty is wise," Lu Bu scolded this bastard Xiang for deliberately causing him to lose face dozens of times in his mind. After praising him perfunctorily, he changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Now the army is stationed at Lingbi. May I ask what your plans are next?”

Xiang Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "Originally, we planned to take Hengshan first, and Long Qie Zhongli to town Jiujiang. However, due to the turmoil in the north, we will wait and see for the time being."

Hearing this fool's calm tone, which was not at all like the one he had imagined as he was so angry that he lost all reason, Lu Bu secretly thought strangely, but on his face he said with deep understanding: "The king is indeed the living king of Yao, Shun, Tang and Wu, and his majesty is known all over the world. , With such careful planning, that group of rabble will be defeated in a day!"

Xiang Yu's eyes were deep and he took the initiative to ask: "Does Feng Xian have any wise ideas?"

His unknowingly harmonious whisper would definitely shock others if they heard it.

However, Lu Bu looked solemn at this moment, racking his brains and recalling the lengthy analysis Han Xin made for him that day.

It was not enough for him to just remember it, he also needed to extract the content from it and turn it into sentences that this fool could understand... It took so much effort and effort, so how could he bother to pay attention to the tone of Xiang Yu's question?

After he had finished considering his words, he said solemnly: "In my opinion, the princes are coming in force. They seem to have the same hatred for the king, but they have their own agendas and their own plans. They are actually a mob. The king is known to be unparalleled in the world. He was so brave that the army he led was invincible and invincible. However, although there were many strong generals in the Chu camp, none could match the power of the king, and it was difficult to compare with the sharpness of the king's army. On the other hand, the army of the princes was like a fishing net, seemingly full of loopholes. If you pounce down, you can capture mediocre generals like Xiao Gongjiao."

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, but he was not displeased. He just followed Lu Bu's words and fell into deep thought.

Hearing Lu Bu's pause, he couldn't help but urge: "Speak."

Urging his grandma to do something?

I was thinking about what Han Xin said that day.

Lu Bu cursed secretly, but still looked solemn: "Although the armies of the princes are often defeated like running water, and always suffer defeat in front of the king's army, their ghosts still linger, and there is no reason for their decline. That's why!" If one blindly expects the king to personally lead the magic army and conquer everywhere, he will fall into the dilemma of being exhausted and unable to take care of everything at the same time, just like Zhang Han in the past. Sooner or later, when his strength is exhausted, how can he make a long-term plan?"

Xiang Yu's frown deepened and he asked subconsciously: "What about following Feng Xian's opinion?"

Lu Bu smiled slyly and patted his horse skillfully: "Since the princes are in harmony with each other, they share the same bed but have different dreams, why don't you send someone to tell them? Our army is strong and powerful. When it comes to fighting alone, looking at the world, there is no opponent! The princes can only gather in groups. If you dare to bully an independent tiger, how can you dare to challenge the majestic power of the king alone? If you can make full use of the king's momentum and send out effective advocates to lobby, you will surely make him alienate and disintegrate the coalition forces invisible! By then, you can use both kindness and power, and you may not need to spend a single soldier. That is to say, even if the power of subduing people cannot be achieved, it will be easier to divide and attack them, and get twice the result with half the effort!"

He saw this idiot as he had been before - a stupid young man who only knew how to run amok.

In the end, the enemy was defeated, but he was still exhausted, his body was covered with scars, and he couldn't breathe.

As everyone knows, there are many crises in this world that can be resolved with just a few moves.

He had suffered too much before he could comprehend such a true meaning - otherwise, when Big Er Liu and Ji Ling had a quarrel and forced him to wade into muddy waters to express his stance, why would he have been so famous as shooting a halberd at the camp gate? It’s not like I’m full to hold on.

It's nothing more than keeping the two of them talking, so as not to drag him into trouble or take advantage of his boss.

He sees that there are many talented people under this idiot, just because they always have the ability to defeat ten people with one force.

, forcefully attack and defeat thousands of enemies, only to be rendered useless.

To put it bluntly, they like to use brute force and don’t bother to use their brains to play any conspiracies. This not only makes themselves exhausted, but also makes those debaters who are raised in vain, lonely and unambitious, and those who are ambitious are not allowed to find another one. At once.

He couldn't stand such a waste of natural resources.

Anyway, if you send someone to talk first, there will be no loss - if you really can't talk, it's not too late to attack recklessly.

If it can be said, wouldn't it save the boss a lot of effort!

Lu Bu's heart was like a mirror.

He had suffered enough losses in his previous life, so he naturally knew that no matter how powerful the Chu army was and no matter how clever Xiang Yu's tactics were, the later the battle reached, the less useful the Chu army's most proficient quick-battle and quick-decision tactics would be.

Sooner or later, we will frequently face long-term attrition wars involving sieges and fortifications.

If one underestimates the shabby military strength of the princes, sooner or later they will fall into a terrible situation.

Xiang Yu unexpectedly heard the suggestion of "lobbying" from Xiao Ji's favorite general, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He had a favorable eye for Fengxian at first, but it was because of his love for him that he was brave enough to do so.

It is not difficult to see from the battle at Yan that the beloved general is similar to him. They are all proud of the thunderous warfare method of winning with elite assaults. They are invincible in single combat.

Since we can attack it head-on, why do we have to resort to scheming and roundabout lobbying like villains like Liu Bang?

Although he was filled with confusion, Xiang Yu couldn't bear to say a word of rejection after being silent for a moment in embarrassment when facing his beloved general who was full of energy and tried his best to make suggestions for him.

That’s all.

He thought for a moment and said in a gentle tone: "Just do as Fengxian said."

When lobbying fails, it is not too late to send troops to attack.

Although Xiang Yu still felt a little dissatisfied, he thought about Fengxian's loyalty, worked hard for him, made many plans, and often made strange plans, and all of them were successful.

With those precedents, he felt odd but also instinctively convinced.

Little did Lu Bu know that the reason why Xiang Yu agreed was because he had no choice but to pity his beloved general and couldn't bear to offend his face.

He thought it was due to the fact that he was so smart that his elm head finally became enlightened, which made him feel happy.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Bu stopped staying and said goodbye. He wanted to rest for a while before discussing with Fan Zeng the specific candidates to send.

Xiang Yu watched him leave quietly, while his mind was still thinking about the proposal he just made, and the more he thought about it, the more appropriate it became.

...After all, late autumn has passed, and winter is approaching. It is freezing everywhere, which is not conducive to expedition.

According to the old system of Qin, it will be the New Year's Day soon.

The soldiers have been with him on expeditions for a long time and have worked hard. It is rare for them to return to their hometown now, so they simply stay here for a while. After a banquet is given to celebrate the New Year and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, we can talk about the expedition again.

When Xiang Yu was lost in thought, Lu Bu, who was very tired, had already entered the military tent.

Along the way, I was eating the wind and drinking the "dew", and I was always worried about this overlord who often made mistakes. Now I feel relieved and relieved.

He lay down neatly on the couch, closed his eyes, and slept comfortably.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed. After washing up, he had a hearty meal.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he leisurely went to look for Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng was captured by Xiang Yu and returned to the army while he was recovering from his illness. At this time, he still had a slight cough.

But compared to his minor ailments, he was more concerned about the movements of the princes' armies.

While Lu Bu was still sleeping soundly, he had already heard in detail about Xiang Yu's huge change in decision-making.

When he first learned that King Xiang, who had always been fierce and violent, and only respected martial arts, and liked to defeat all enemies with force, was actually willing to stand still and use unprecedented methods to drive the debaters to lobby in various countries, Fan Zeng was struck by a thunderbolt. unbelievable.

——This is the same headstrong and violent King Xiang he knew? !

Yafu was frightened when he saw his white hair and beard, while Xiang Yu felt baffled.

After careful consideration, he abandoned his initial prejudice and quite agreed with the general's opinion.

Regardless of whether it can be sustained or not, it is good to have the soldiers spend a rare and happy New Year in their hometown.

Seeing Ya's father in a daze and stumbling around, Xiang Yu couldn't help but misunderstood the reason.

He frowned and asked politely: "Do you have any objections, Yafu? But it doesn't hurt to talk."

Fan Zeng suddenly came to his senses and denied it: "This is absolutely not the case!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yu watched helplessly as Ya's father, who had always been calm and steady, looked happy and rushed out of the main tent quickly, not knowing who he was looking for.

He was left sitting alone on the main seat, with a majestic look on his face, but his mind was already confused.

Also looking confused was Lu Bu, who was being dragged by the ecstatic Fan Zeng, who was out of breath and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

When Fan Zeng looked at Lu Bu at this time, he liked him first-rately.

This is not only a strong and wise general gifted by God to Chu camp, but also a unique and blessed general who is enough to convince King Xiang who is as stubborn as an ox!

Fan Zengzheng sighed and praised sincerely under Lu Bu's questioning gaze: "Fengxian is really a wise man!"

Although King Xiang was extremely brave, he placed too much emphasis on force and was unwilling to use strategy.

Now that I have been persuaded by the emperor, I am actually willing to use lobbyists. It is really incredible!

Lu Bu's face twitched slightly.

If it weren't for the sincerity on the face of the old man who held his hand for no reason...

He really can't help but get pregnant

He suspected that these evil-minded and bad-mouthed counselors were making fun of him.
