Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

Zhang Liang’s plan?

Isn't Zhang Liang gone?

Many generals were confused. Except for Liu Bang and Xiao He, they did not know that when they evacuated Xianyang that day, Liu Bang got the three tips left by Zhang Liang.

"Zifang's plan?"

Liu Bang slapped his head, and his heroic spirit of wanting to have a fight with Xiang Yu disappeared, and he returned to his free-spirited look.

"Yes, yes, Xiao He, come up with your strategy quickly."

Liu Bang drove his horse aside and ordered the army to continue moving forward. Fan Kuai and other generals also stopped, and everyone gathered around Xiao He.

"Brother, when did the military advisor leave behind the plan?"

Fan Kuai asked.

"Oh, it was the day of departure."

Liu Bang answered casually and looked at Xiao He with burning eyes.

When they heard that Zhang Liang had expected what happened today before he left, not only Fan Kuai but also everyone didn't believe it.

There are magic sticks in this world who can pinch and calculate, but who can predict it for so long.

"Brother, is this reliable?"

Zhou Bo said suspiciously.

Liu Bang was disturbed, he turned around and glared: "You said the ovary is unreliable, you can do it!"

Zhou Bo shrank his head and stopped talking.

As soon as he was scolded, Lu Wan, Guan Ying and Xia Houying were blocked who wanted to question him.

The four of them, like Fan Kuai, were Liu Bang's childhood friends. They all knew their eldest brother's temper. If he was angered, he might ask Fan Kuai to beat them directly. They would not fight back and were rude. It would not be good to vent Liu Bang's anger.

"Xiao He, where is the kit?"

Liu Bang urged.

When Xiao He saw that several people were laughing and making trouble, he took out the first tip bag slowly. Before he could open it, Liu Bang snatched it away. Liu Bang took out the envelope from the tip bag and opened it immediately. Xiao He, Cao Shen and other generals surrounded him. Come up.

For a moment, everyone took a breath of cold air, almost turning the cold winter into midsummer.

"this……"

"Zifang really has such a foresight ability?"

Liu Bang was frightened and looked up at everyone.

"Master, do you think we should do what Zifang said?"

Xiao He narrowed his eyes, hiding his surprise, and asked in a deep voice.

"Although Uncle Xiang helped me and others before, it was because the ovary had a long history with him. Now that the ovary has left, will Uncle Xiang still help me and wait?"

Liu Bang didn't know, he was thinking in his heart.

Bribing Xiang Bo required a large amount of money. Although they invaded Xianyang, they only got an empty Xianyang Palace and failed to collect many valuables. At this time, if they bribed Xiang Bo with a heavy sum of money, they would be hard-pressed after entering Shu. Support the expenditure of the army.

In times of peace, military pay is not that important, but now it is a time of war, and you have no money to be a soldier. Who will work hard to help you conquer the world?

"Hey, lord, there's a small note here."

Xiao He pinched the kit and felt something was wrong. He was surprised.

Liu Bang grabbed it, opened it, and was pleasantly surprised.

"Use the army to farm the fields and use food to recruit troops."

A few words on the note solved Liu Bang's urgent need.

"Such a good plan, why didn't I think of it!"

"A wonderful plan, a great military strategist!"

Liu Bang smiled while stroking his hands, feeling relieved in his heart.

Liu Bang was laughing, Xiao He was laughing, Cao Shen was also laughing, but Fan Kuai and other generals looked at each other in confusion.

What the hell are you asking them to lead troops to cultivate the land?

"Brother Xiao, what does Mr. Zifang mean?"

Xiao He looked at them and explained.

"Bashu is bitterly cold and sparsely populated, but there is a lot of land. If our army is divided into parts and cultivated in Bashu, we can firstly raise the army, secondly recruit troops, and thirdly save money and food for future battles."

As soon as he explained this, Fan Kuai and others understood, imitating Liu Bang's movements and stroking their hands and laughing.

"My lord is right. How could my lord not think of such a good plan?"

When they smiled like this, Liu Bang's face suddenly darkened.

"What are you laughing at!"

Liu Bang drew out his sheathed sword and glared at several people.

"Let's see who dares to laugh!"

Fan Kuai and others said nothing and ran away collectively. Only Xiao He, Cao Shen and Liu Bang were left.

"Xiao He, Cao Shen, now that the military advisor has left, how can we contact Uncle Xiang, and how much money should we send?"

Zhang Liang's strategy was very good, and Liu Bang liked it very much.

But they are not Zhang Liang. It is very risky to send money to Xiang Bo. If the other party refuses to do anything after receiving the money, they can't do anything to the other party. And without Zhang Liang's relationship, if Xiang Bo tells Xiang Yu at this time, then Even worse.

They were not ready to go to war with Xiang Yu.

Being struck at this moment is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Xiao He pondered in his heart and said.

"My lord, if the military advisor gives you money, or a hundred yi of gold, or two measures of pearls, that's enough. After the military advisor leaves, we can give you money. I'm afraid this little money won't tempt Uncle Xiang."

Liu Bang looked at Cao Shen, who nodded in agreement.

"What Brother Xiao said is true."

"If we want to give it away, we must give it an amount that Xiang Yu can be tempted by. In this way, in order not to be discovered and to keep the money, Uncle Xiang will sincerely help us."

Liu Bang nodded lightly and asked again.

"In that case, how much do you two think I should give?"

This was also his purpose of driving away Fan Kuai and others.

Xiao He and Cao Shen jointly managed the army's money and food expenses. He didn't know the total amount, but he was not optimistic about it. If a few loudmouths led by Lu Wan knew about this kind of thing, there was no telling what trouble would happen.

Xiao and Cao looked at each other, and the former cupped his hands.

"Reporting to my lord, there is not much money, food and supplies in the army, but in terms of gold, there are only four hundred yi left. In terms of pearls, we can make up twenty or thirty dou."

Yi is a unit of jin, one yi is about six liang, and four hundred yi is one hundred and twenty jin. For a rich family, this amount is quite explosive, but for the military expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops, this amount of money is nothing.

Liu Bang did not expect that he was already so poor, and his face looked a little ugly.

"My lord, how much do you think you should give to Xiang Bo?"

Xiao He asked carefully.

He did not urge, but looked at Liu Bang cautiously.

After a long time, Liu Bang finally came back to his senses, his eyes wandered between Xiao He and Cao Shen, and he said.

"Xiao He, take three hundred yi of gold and all the pearls to find Xiang Bo, and make sure to complete this matter!"

Xiao He expected this, his expression tightened, and he bowed solemnly.

"My lord, don't worry, if I can't complete this matter, Xiao He will come to see me with his head!"

More than half a month later, Liu Bang led the army to Bashu.

He deployed his hundreds of thousands of troops, with 50 men in a camp, leveled 200 mu of forest for cultivation, and reclaimed wasteland, competing with the weather for spring ploughing.

At the same time, Xiao He came to Pengcheng dressed as a merchant.

When he met Xiang Bo, Xiao He did not reveal his identity, but first gave him 50 yi and 5 dou of pearls.

Xiang Bo was very surprised and asked Xiao He what he wanted.

Xiao He revealed his identity, and Xiang Bo was very surprised. After hesitating, he returned the money and drove Xiao He out of the house.

Xiao He was not frustrated and visited again three days later.

This time, he gave 100 yi and 10 dou of pearls, and said that if this matter could be accomplished, there would be another 100 yi of gold waiting for Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo was tempted and finally found Xiang Yu and persuaded him to give Guanzhong to Liu Bang to save his past merits and to calm other people's gossip.
