"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that doing this will plunge the world into chaos?"
Zhang Liang might not have been able to react immediately, but after thinking about it carefully, he could easily realize that something was wrong.
They had a plethora of methods to deal with Eastern Wu, but were remarkably lacking in methods to deal with Shu.
Was it because Liu Bang couldn't think of a way to deal with Shu?
joke!
If we really wanted to target them, Sichuan is a place we know very well, so it would be incredibly easy for us to use some tricks!
If we don't deal with it, there can only be one explanation.
He doesn't want to fight!
Do you think the world would descend into chaos back then?
Liu Bang smiled and asked in return.
He wasn't surprised that Zhang Liang could guess his thoughts.
To be honest, after working together for so many years, it would be truly surprising if no one could guess who it was!
"Yes, if they sense that His Majesty is making a choice, needless to say, things will not be peaceful down below, and even the court will likely be in turmoil!"
Zhang Liang reached this conclusion without the slightest hesitation.
"When do you think I made this decision?"
Liu Bang suddenly changed the subject to something that seemed completely unrelated.
But Zhang Liang knew that he wouldn't suddenly say anything inexplicable at this time.
When was the decision made?
The next moment, an incredible answer came to his mind.
"Could it be before this challenge begins?"
Seeing Liu Bang nod in agreement, Zhang Liang instantly pieced everything together.
Before embarking on this challenge, that is to say, when His Majesty chose to assist him in participating in the challenge, he must have also taken the current situation into account.
So this is another reason why Han Xin stayed behind and took him into the challenge!
But Han Xin was just a sword.
If someone wields a sword, then he can naturally make great use of it.
However, Han Xin was not without ambition.
If there is no one to wield the sword, then the sword may also develop its own ambitions.
Therefore, leaving only Han Xin is definitely not enough.
"If Han Xin is left behind, who will control him? Xiao He's abilities are insufficient..."
As they were talking, another possibility suddenly occurred to Zhang Liang, and the whole thing became clear.
If we were to say who in the Han Dynasty was most qualified to wield the sword of Han Xin, then besides Liu Bang, there was only one other person!
The one who sent Han Xin on his way, according to the immortals' assessment!
"Your Majesty, you are quite bold."
"Knowing that she has great ambitions and is likely to cause chaos in the court, and that there may be a conflict between her and Han Xin, they still dared to bet all their chips on her."
Are you really not afraid of going too far?
After figuring it out, Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a series of bitter laughs.
"Do you think your father would want this? Liu Heng is too young and too inexperienced."
"Liu Ying is too gentle but lacks the means, making him easily manipulated by Han Xin and many other ministers."
"The only person we can use right now is that woman, Lü Zhi."
"But Zifang, rest assured, I know that woman. She is capable and ambitious, but she will not do anything improper before I die."
Seeing Liu Bang's confident demeanor, Zhang Liang suddenly felt a surge of curiosity.
"Is it that you don't know how, or that you're afraid?"
That's a very clever question.
But that didn't stump Liu Bang either.
He smiled at Zhang Liang.
"I neither will nor dare to."
“I am husband and wife with Lü Zhi. I know her well. The reason I am willing to release her is because I know that she would not have gone to that point if she had not been forced into it.”
"The most important point is that both she and I know clearly that no matter how she tries to win people's hearts or what changes she makes, everything will return to normal once I go back."
He conquered the entire country, so he naturally has the confidence to say such things!
"Understood……"
Zhang Liang lowered his head.
Perhaps only the founding emperor of a nation could possess such arrogance?
"So aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do next?"
Seeing him deep in thought, Liu Bang couldn't help but ask.
He's been waiting for this question for a long time.
Zifang, ask me!
If you don't ask, how can you show off under the noses of future generations!
Zhang Liang: “…”
"If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty should already have a solution that satisfies both sides."
"While completing the challenge of the immortals, he also returned the throne to the Han Dynasty."
"In the end, you still don't trust the future emperor of Wei, nor do you trust the ministers of Wei, so you simply want to try handing this opportunity over to Liu Shan?"
Liu Bang: “…”
I told you to ask, not to just say it!
You've just said it so bluntly, so why are you still pretending?
So it's really annoying to participate in challenges with smart people like you!
"However, the only suspense is whether the immortal will admit it, and whether the people of Shu will be willing to cooperate."
Will the people in Sichuan cooperate?
"Zifang, are you mistaken about something? I do not want Jiang Wei to suffer heavy losses in order to preserve the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty, but it does not mean that we should surrender to the Han Dynasty directly."
"On the contrary, although Jiang Wei was able to escape this calamity, the script I left for Shu was exactly the same as the original outcome in the historical records."
Liu Bang expressed his unwillingness to hand over the opportunity to make the choice to others.
In his plan, the choice left for Liu Shan was not whether to cooperate or not, but whether he wanted to live or die.
If Liu Shan wanted to die, he could easily replace him with a young emperor.
In any case, when it comes to the ancestral teachings to unfilial descendants, even Liu Bei probably couldn't utter a single word of dissent!
Zhang Liang: “…”
He felt that his brain couldn't keep up with Liu Bang's thought process.
No, Your Majesty, what do you mean?
He didn't think it was because he was stupid, but because Liu Bang's actions were all incomprehensible!
"Zifang, just wait and see, the moment of witnessing a miracle is about to begin!"
……
The moment to witness a miracle gradually unfolded after Liu Bang gave the order.
Having learned in advance of the Wei emperor's bounty and the actions of various powerful figures, Jiang Wei preemptively laid ambushes at major intersections.
When the allied forces of the powerful states and counties arrived, several ambushes attacked almost simultaneously, causing the enemy to be routed.
Just as those clever people had predicted, the powerful alliance collapsed quickly.
Not only did they fail to inflict significant losses on the Han army, but the large number of surrendered soldiers actually strengthened Jiang Wei's forces.
Meanwhile, Zhong Hui, carrying several personal letters from Sun Liang, rushed to Eastern Wu. As soon as he handed the letters to Sun Chen, a storm was about to begin.
But to many people's surprise, Chang'an also made a move at the same time as these two sides!
"No way?"
"What is Emperor Gaozu trying to do? Is he using their own methods against them?"
