Zhong You glanced at Jiang Shang and said with a smile: "I have some ideas, but I don't know if it's safe, let's wait for the two prime ministers to come and discuss together." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji grabbed Zhong You's sleeve as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said sincerely: "I hope that the sage must find a way to help Xiao Wang survive this catastrophe." ”

After speaking, Liu Ji remembered the catastrophe he encountered during this time, and almost burst into tears.

With the support of Confucianism, Liu Ji was able to get rid of the life of a wild man in the mountains and forests, walked out of Mangdang Mountain, and then killed Pei County, wanting to re-establish his power.

Unexpectedly, the former subordinates were almost killed and wounded, and some of the remaining people were frightened, and basically no one dared to support him anymore.

If it weren't for Confucianism to help propagate and change the people's perception of themselves in time, Liu Ji estimated that he would have to stay in Pei County for the rest of his life, and at most occupy Surabaya County.

Finally, it improved a little, and Confucianism had to let itself send troops to attack Qin.

In order to solve the problem of lack of soldiers and major generals, Confucian Yan Sheng personally went out and said that he would surrender 300,000 elite troops to conquer the Liao army, as well as hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops, which made Liu Ji think that he was really the true emperor.

However, the good times did not last long, and the army was defeated by Lin Ze when it captured the land of Yan Zhao, and in that battle, it lost 100,000 elites.

Not long after, Confucian rumors spread that Confucian sages needed to send troops to attack Guanzhong, and the losses in this battle were even greater.

If it weren't for Liu Ji's extra heart, he only sent 50,000 elites, and the other 100,000 were auxiliary troops and new troops, and 300,000 elites would almost be extinct.

At present, Cao Shen is stationed on the front line of the Yellow River with 80,000 elites and 70,000 miscellaneous troops to prevent Western Qin from moving south.

The newly promoted military general Zhou Bofan led 40,000 elites and 50,000 miscellaneous troops, totaling 90,000 to garrison Wei to prevent Western Qin from advancing eastward.

The total number of troops left behind in Qidi was less than 160,000, and this time they took away 100,000 of them, although there were 50,000 elites, they had to defend Linzi, and they could not be moved easily.

At this time, the Chu army went north, and the consequences were unimaginable, and the entire Qi land would become the hunting ground of the other party.

Liu Ji was a little unexpected, if the Chu army crossed the border so that Qi was thousands of miles away, how could the Han Kingdom have a future?

Moreover, the support of Confucianism is not unlimited.

If Confucianism thinks that his mud can't support the wall and refuses to continue to support it, Liu Ji seems to see his own tragic end.

Liu Ji secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he must solve the current crisis as soon as possible, otherwise the end will be unpredictable.

Zhang Liang and Xiao He were handling government affairs in the specially set up government office in the palace at this time, and when he heard that Liu Ji was summoned, he rushed over after a while, bowed down and said: "Minister Zhang Liang (Xiao He), meet the king." ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "The two Aiqing don't need to be polite, the Han Kingdom is in big trouble, and I ask the two of you to find a way to solve this matter." ”

Zhang Liangxiao glanced at each other, and then Zhang Liang arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the king, what happened?"

Liu Ji didn't dare to order Duanmu Ci to speak, so he had to repeat it himself, and then asked, "What can I do about it?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Please send scouts to investigate the military situation, and you must find out whether the Chu army is going north, what is the number, and where the target is, so as to dispatch the army to resist." ”

"In addition, please give the king an order to let Cao Shen lead his army south to support as soon as possible without delay. ”

Liu Ji said with a hesitant expression: "Cao Shen led the army south, what should I do in case of an invasion by Western Qin?"

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "I can't take care of so much at this time, let's solve the trouble in front of me first." Western Qin may not invade, after all, not long after the two sides signed the agreement, Lin Ze has to take care of the face of the Taoist Palace and Confucianism. ”

Xiao He echoed: "The minister agrees with what Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said, the grievances between the Han State and the Western Qin State have at least come to an end, and the grievances between the Han State and the Chu State have just begun. Judging from the current situation, the threat of Chu to Han is far greater than that of Western Qin. ”

Zhang Liang added: "The minister asked the king to send an envoy to Western Qin, whether it was to promise peace or give a sum of money and food, so as to seek help from Western Qin." ”

"Even if Western Qin is unwilling to send troops to help the Han State, he must find a way to keep him from standing on the side of the Chu State and attacking the Han State. ”

Liu Ji hesitated: "This move is too much, in case Xi Qin didn't think about it, if he made such a move, maybe he would remind him instead?"

Zhang Liang said earnestly: "King, you can't leave anything to chance, if the Chu State took the first step to persuade Western Qin to send troops, it would be too late to regret it." ”

For some reason, Lin Ze's cold face suddenly appeared in Liu Ji's mind, and he shuddered, and responded: "Just as the right minister said, send an envoy to Xiqin." ”

Zhang Liang arched his hand and said: "I heard about this incident and cut down Chu, it was originally a joint move between Confucianism and Buddhism, and it was troublesome for the sages to send people to contact Buddhism, so that they must not choose to retreat and maintain deterrence against the western border of Chu at any time." ”

"Only in this way, once the Chu army is blocked from going north, it will be unprofitable, and it will return to the court as soon as possible. ”

Zhong You replied in a deep voice: "Later, Confucianism will arrange for disciples to spread the message to Buddhism. ”

Listening to Zhang Liang's well-organized arrangement, Liu Ji, who was infected, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation did not seem to be as bad as imagined.

However, there were still key people who didn't nod, and Liu Ji asked with a smile: "Is it feasible for Zhongyou Sage to arrange it like this?"

Zhong You replied with a smile: "Mr. Zhang Liang resolved this crisis in just a few words, and he really deserves to be a great talent in the world." ”

Zhang Liang arched his hand and said, "I can't afford to be the Miao praise of the sage of Zhongyou." ”

Who knew that Zhong You changed the conversation and said: "But I have a better way here,"

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this: "Please also ask Zhong to be guided by the sage." ”

Liu Ji was even more excited and said: "I also hope that Zhong will save the Han Kingdom by the sage, Xiao Wang is grateful." ”

"The two of you are asking for the wrong person, you shouldn't beg me, you should beg him," Zhongyou said, pointing at Jiang Shang.

Zhang Liang had never seen Jiang Shang, so he naturally didn't know that the old man in front of him was the world-famous soldier saint Jiang Shang, who was only a Confucian person, so he was a little puzzled.

Liu Ji, who learned Jiang Shang's true identity, suddenly brightened his eyes and bowed: "Please also ask the seniors of the Soldier Saint to help." ”

Jiang Shang asked rhetorically: "If you can share the worries of King Han, of course the old man will not refuse, but how can the old man help? ”

Liu Ji was stunned on the spot when he heard this, he only knew that Jiang Shang could help him, how did he know how the Bing Sheng would help him?

Fortunately, Zhong You reacted, and took the initiative to speak for Liu Ji: "Of course, it is to worship the soldier saint as the commander, lead the army, ensure the supply of grain and grass, and quickly drive out the army of Chu." ”

Jiang Shang couldn't deny it: "Really?"

Liu Ji decisively ordered: "Come on, go and build the altar, this king wants to pray to heaven and earth, and make the soldier saint the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Han State, and lead all the armies of the Han Kingdom." ”

Jiang Shang saw that Liu Ji was so enthusiastic, and smiled: "King Han is so fond of the old decay, but the old decay is disrespectful. ”
