"Well, this king also means the same." Liu Bang also said immediately.
"Okay, since the two of you have no objection to this king's proposal.
Then let's each talk about which route you want to take.
The king said it first. "
Then, Han Xin dipped his finger into his teacup and tapped a few points on the tea table.
"The king's men will first attack Daliang from Xingyang, then march into Chenliu, go to Suiyang, and then go east to attack Pengcheng."
On the tea table, Han Xin made a horizontal fold with his finger dipped in the tea. After speaking, he looked up at Xu Feng and waited for Xu Feng and Liu Bang's reply.
"The king has no objection."
Liu Bang spoke first, saying that he had no objection to Han Xin's marching route.
On the contrary, it was Xu Feng who didn't speak for a long time, but sneered in his heart.
Han Xin's territory was originally in Qidi, just north of Pengcheng, and between Xiang Yu's Pengcheng, there was a county of Xue.
As long as Han Xin captures Xuejun, he can immediately approach Pengcheng.
It can be said that among the three of them, Han Xin is the closest to Xiang Yu's Pengcheng offensive route.
But now, Han Xin refused to take the shortcut of going directly south, insisting on making a big circle from Xingyang and attacking Pengcheng from the west.
Xu Feng also guessed the reason why Han Xin chose this route.
Han Xin couldn't help but want to take a detour and go to Dangjun to provide convenience for the occupation of Dangjun later.
You know, Dangjun Daliang was once the capital of the Wei State, that is, the Kaifeng area of later generations. It was originally a prosperous and prosperous place, located in the Central Plains, and Han Xin coveted it for a long time.
You must know that the most prosperous areas in China during the Qin Dynasty, apart from Guanzhong, Qidi, Xiang Yu's Pengcheng and other places, were also the most prosperous areas in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Daliang and Luoyang.
This time the three families attacked Chu because Han Xin was the closest to Xiang Yu's Pengcheng.
If they really wiped out Xiang Yu, needless to say, Pengcheng would definitely fall into Han Xin's hands, and Xu Feng and Liu Bang, who were far away, would be beyond their reach.
But now, Han Xin knew that Pengcheng was not enough, and he even set his eyes on Daliang.
Although the "meat" in Chu State is very big, there are only three or four places that are really "fat", and now Han Xin is directly asking for two places.
Because Liu Bang was too far away from Pengcheng and Daliang, he didn't expect to get these two places after the war, so he agreed very happily.
What Liu Bang aimed at this time was a large piece of land south of Chu State.
But Xu Feng was in Luoyang, not far from Daliang. It is said that this offensive route was originally the most suitable for the Qin army.
It was also because of this that after Han Xin finished his offensive line, he stared at Xu Feng, waiting for Xu Feng's reply.
"Since King Qi wants to take this route, I have no objection."
Finally, after a while, Xu Feng finally spoke.
"Haha, thank you Qin Huang for completeness."
Han Xin was overjoyed immediately, and said with a bright smile.
"King Qi also needs to be careful. The Chu army is in Daliang and Suiyang, but they have deployed heavy troops. This route is not easy to fight."
Xu Feng reminded Han Xin and said.
At the same time, this is also the main reason why Xu Feng gave up competing with Han Xin for this offensive route.
Although this route passed through the prosperous and wealthy places of Chu State, but also, there were the most Chu troops stationed here.
If they go all the way to Pengcheng and attack the city, it is unknown how many people will be lost.
Since Han Xin wanted to fight for this place, Xu Feng simply gave it to him. This time Xu Feng didn't value how much territory he got.
The war has not yet started, who said that this place must belong to Han Xin in the end.
"Then I can only go to Yingchuan, enter Chenjun, and then enter Surabaya to reach Pengcheng.
It just so happens that I don't have many soldiers and horses, so I don't feel too much pressure on this route. "
Then, Xu Feng also mentioned a route, just south of Han Xin's route, and drew a half-arc to reach Pengcheng.
Compared with the Daliang and Suiyang areas that Han Xin took, Xu Feng took this route, except that Yingchuan was relatively prosperous.
Chen County and the southern part of Sishui County are all sparsely populated places, and there are not many Chu troops at all, so it is definitely not difficult to fight there.
"Then the king will destroy Hengshan Kingdom first, then attack Jiujiang County Shouchun, and then go north to Pengcheng."
Liu Bang smiled and said to Xu Feng and Han Xin.
Xu Feng glanced at Liu Bang, and thought to himself: You are so greedy, you really treat me as a fool.
The route chosen by Liu Bang also has a large number of Chu troops, because it is close to Xiang Yu's foundation, the land of Wu and Yue.
Don't look at Xiang Yu's capital in Pengcheng, but his foundation is actually in the southeast of Wuyue, and this is the origin of Jiangdong's children.
At this time, Kuaiji County and Zhang County in the southeast were the land of Wuyue at the beginning, and they were relatively prosperous places.
It is also the place where Liu Bang will focus on this time, otherwise Liu Bang would not choose this route.
If Liu Bang is really allowed to follow this offensive route to Pengcheng.
Then in the future, all the Chu lands south of the Huai River, except Nanyue in the south and Minyue in the southeast, will belong to him.
It is clear that the goals of Han Xin and Liu Bang are very clear this time.
At this time, the territory in Xiang Yu's hands spanned the Yangtze River, with a total of eleven counties and one country in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.
Taking the Huai River as the boundary, this time Han Xin wanted to occupy Xiang Yu's five counties north of the Huai River, namely Dang County, Sishui County Xue County, Langya County and Donghai County.
Among them, because Xue County, Langya County and Donghai County are very close to Qi, once Xiang Yu is destroyed, these three counties will only be acquired by Han Xin, and no one can compete for them.
Even so, Han Xin was still not satisfied, so he designed an offensive route from Dang County, and finally fought over Dang County and Sishui County.
On Liu Bang's side, he also wanted Xiang Yu's territory in one country and four counties south of the Huai River, namely Hengshan Country, which is Hengshan County, Hengshan King Wu Rui, and Xiang Yu's leader.
The remaining four counties include Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Zhang County and Kuaiji County to the east.
These counties are all in the south, and Xu Feng is even more out of reach at this time. Han Xin can't even take care of it, so Liu Bang can fight all the way from the west.
However, Xu Feng does not have the advantages of Han Xin and Liu Bang because of the border problem of the territory, so it is impossible to occupy too much Chu territory.
Otherwise, even if it is forcibly occupied, it will be an enclave separated from the Qin State to the west, and it will be difficult to defend it in the future.
Only Yingchuan County and Chen County in the west, bordering the Daqin territory at this time, were suitable for Xu Feng to occupy.
However, no matter the size of the land or the level of prosperity, these two counties cannot compare with the five counties in Huaibei that Han Xin wanted, and the four counties in Huainan that Liu Bang wanted.
"Haha, the King of the South and the Emperor of Qin are beyond reach, so we can only count on the army of the King of Han."
After listening to Liu Bang's words, Han Xin said with a smile that he agreed with Liu Bang's offensive line.
In fact, Han Xin and Liu Bang had already discussed in advance before this alliance. They both knew the two offensive routes in advance.

"Then let's settle the issue of our offensive route."
Liu Bang said calmly, but he was extremely excited inside.
Xu Feng was expressionless and nodded slightly.
"Then, let's talk about how to distribute the benefits after the war."
"Let me speak first."
Xu Feng grabbed the words at this time and said.
"Emperor Qin please."
Han Xin was a little surprised, but still motioned Xu Feng to please speak.
"It's very simple. This time I sent troops well, so the two are the main force to conquer Chu. So after the war, I only want Yingchuan and Chenjun. The rest of Chu, you two will look at the distribution."
Hearing what Xu Feng said, both Han Xin and Liu Bang couldn't help but widen their eyes, and looked at each other with disbelief.
They didn't expect Xu Feng to be so generous.
"but."
Xu Feng continued: "For this battle, as compensation, you need to pay me a lot of money and food, and allow my men and horses to move part of the population and livestock from various places along the way during the war."
"Yes, but the amount of money and food, the number of people to migrate, and the number of livestock need to be determined."
Liu Bang immediately nodded and said, thinking that Xu Feng's request was not too much.
Only at this time, Han Xin did not speak.
Because, Xu Feng's route of attacking Pengcheng mainly took Huaibei, which means that on his future territory, the people who migrated must all be his.
"80 shi of money and food, 30 gold, one million people and one million livestock."
Xu Feng didn't bother about Han Xin, and after Liu Bang finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth and offered a sky-high price.
"What did you say!"
After Liu Bang and Han Xin heard the price Xu Feng offered, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Qin Huang, are you joking?"
The smile on Han Xin's face also disappeared immediately, and he looked at Xu Feng with a gloomy face, and said.
"What, does King Qi think it's high? Then I'll do the math for you.
The five counties of Chu State in Huaibei, Xue County, Langya County, Dang County, Donghai County and Sishui County all add up to hundreds of large and small cities with a population of over 400 million.
Similarly, Chu State has one country and four counties in Huainan, with nearly a hundred large and small cities and a population of nearly 300 million.
Now, not only have I given up these lands, but I only want to relocate a million people and a million livestock. Do you think that is a lot? "
Xu Feng glanced at Liu Bang and Han Xin, and said so.
"There are too many people in one million people. If you really want you to move out a million people, what will the king do with these places?"
Han Xin said angrily.
If there is no one's territory, it is useless to ask for it. Han Xin also understands this truth.
"Indeed, King Qi is right.
Not only are there too many people, but also too much food and money. Our two families can't afford so much money and food. "
Immediately, Liu Bang also shook his head and said.
"Okay, since that's the case, then modify the offensive route, and who can get as much territory and population depends on their own abilities.
I will lead the army to Dang County, and then enter Sishui County to attack Pengcheng. "
When Xu Feng saw Liu Bang and Han Xin, he disagreed with the amount of compensation he said, and said so immediately.
When Han Xin heard this, his face became even more gloomy.
The prosperous and prosperous Dang County is what he must have.
At this time, although the area of Dang County is not large, it has nearly [-] large and small cities and a population of nearly one million, catching up with the other two big counties.
If Xu Feng were allowed to win Dang County, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending him a million people directly!
"Hehe, Emperor Qin, don't worry, things can still be discussed!"
Han Xin immediately laughed and said to Xu Feng.
"How about money and grain, one hundred thousand gold, 30 shi, a population of 30, and livestock of 30?"
Han Xin directly subtracted several times the amount proposed by Xu Feng, and said.
"Hehe, if King Qi is like this, we will have nothing to talk about in this alliance.
I first showed my sincerity, but the king of Qi treats me as a fool, what else is there to talk about. "
With that said, Xu Feng was about to stand up.
"Emperor Qin, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, we can discuss it again."
Seeing that Xu Feng was angry and wanted to get up and leave, Liu Bang quickly comforted him.
Afterwards, the three of them bargained fiercely. If there were outsiders here, they would definitely not regard them as the king of a country, but the old lady of the vegetable market.
