who?
Chen Ping!
Liu Ying probably remembered that this god-level boss who defeated Zhu Lu in history was definitely the one who had the last laugh.
I really didn't expect that after only a few days of watching, I would attract such people to join me. It was an unexpected surprise. Liu Ying suppressed her excitement and came over and said humbly to Chen Ping: "Sir is my mentor, and now he is on a mission to serve the great Han Dynasty. In both public and private matters, as well as in matters of emotion and reason, I hope that your husband will come over safely. If Chen Shencheng is If you have any suggestions, just ask, I’d be grateful.”
Liu Ying said, asking Chen Ping to kneel down at the main seat.
This move also shocked Chen Ping.
"Young master, you don't have to be like this. A small official in a plain area should not be treated with kindness."
Liu Ying said seriously: "I am young and ignorant. I am just reading poetry for the first time. If I can teach you a word, I will be my teacher. If I can teach you something, why should I be too modest?"
This is the feeling of being taken seriously, and Chen Ping feels warm in his heart.
He glanced at Sui He. No wonder this man was willing to go through fire and water for the young master. Young Master Ying was so kind to others... Thinking about himself, during the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, he first sought refuge with the King of Wei, and then with Xiang Yu, drifting from place to place.
After not doing well in either place, he came to seek refuge with Liu Bang.
Maybe he came late, or maybe he didn't get along with those people. When Chen Ping arrived at Liu Bang's side, he was constantly criticized.
Some say he has bad conduct and accepts bribes, while others say he steals his wife from home and is of low character and must never be used.
Chen Ping was so overwhelmed that he had almost no place to stand. This time in the Pengcheng battle, he was left behind. But it was a blessing in disguise as he didn't die in Xiang Yu's hands.
Chen Ping originally wanted to use the opportunity of being sent as envoy to Yingbu to gain the trust of the King of Han.
Who would have thought that Sui He would take the lead.
However, it is also an unexpected joy to get to know the young master through this.
"Sir, do you know who Yingbu is?" Chen Ping got straight to the point.
Liu Ying said: "I heard that Yingbu was a prisoner with tattoos on his face, also known as Qingbu. Like my father, he was born a bandit. Later he raised an army to fight against the Qin Dynasty and made many military exploits. Only then was he named the King of Jiujiang by Xiang Yu."
Chen Ping nodded, "Yes, Yingbu is brave and good at fighting. When Xiang Liang was named Wu Xinjun, Yingbu was named Dangyang Lord!"
Xiang Liang is Xiang Yu's uncle. According to Chen Ping, Yingbu is older than Xiang Yu!
Chen Ping added: "Yingbu was brave and ruthless. He served as Xiang Yu's vanguard and killed two hundred thousand soldiers of the Qin army. He also killed King Huai, the Righteous Emperor. This man has the heart of a tiger or a wolf and the nature of a beast!"
Liu Ying frowned upon hearing Chen Ping's description. It was not easy to convince such a ruthless person.
He looked at Sui He in confusion.
Sui He immediately said: "Sir, I know this, and Yingbu has two intentions. If I go and persuade him with good words, I will definitely abandon Chu and return to Han."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ping suddenly changed his expression. He let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "If this is the case, I will definitely die!"
Liu Ying was surprised. He didn't think Chen Ping could talk nonsense.
"Chen Shencheng, please speak out quickly."
Chen Ping immediately said: "Master, Yingbu is rebellious and thinks he has great achievements. How can he satisfy his appetite with the mere king of Jiujiang? Xiang Yu is stingy and refuses to grant titles to Qi, Zhao and other countries to Yingbu, who is from a humble background. Now, The two of them have long been inseparable, so there is no need to say more."
Liu Ying immediately said: "What needs to be done?"
Chen Ping said proudly: "I'm going here to cut off Yingbu's retreat, and he is determined to return to the Han Dynasty!"
Suihe frowned, and he had a vague taste of it. Persuading people to surrender and making decisions for others were indeed two different things, but he hadn't yet figured out what the difference was.
While Liu Ying was thinking about it, she patted her thigh and said, "I understand!"
Sui He and Chen Ping both looked at him, their eyes slightly different.
Liu Ying said: "Now Yingbu is between Chu and Han, waiting for price. Xiang Yu will also send envoys to meet Yingbu and persuade Yingbu to obey Xiang Yu's orders."
Suihe frowned and said, "There is already a rift between the two of them, I'm afraid Yingbu won't listen easily."
Chen Ping smiled and said: "It is true, but Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han and defeated the King of Han in Pengcheng. He was so powerful that everyone was afraid, including Yingbu. Brother, I went to see Yingbu. He said that he would rouse the generals and arouse Yingbu. Out of resentment, let him fight Xiang Yu to the death; strike first to be stronger, get rid of the Chu envoys, and cut off Yingbu's retreat. Only in this way will this beast be used by the King of Han."
With a solemn expression on his face, Sui He said these two moves, but even if he had no good words to persuade him, it seemed that he had indeed made a mistake.
After thinking about it, he handed over his hands and thanked him, "Thank you for the advice. How could I survive by chance? It all depends on Chen Shencheng's great kindness!"
As he said this, Suihe paid homage to him.
Chen Ping hurriedly stopped him, "It doesn't have to be like this. As officials in the same dynasty, it should be like this."
Sui He thanked her again and prepared to leave.
Liu Ying said hurriedly: "Sir, you can't bring too many people with you here. Only by recruiting elite soldiers and strong generals can you fulfill your mission."
Sui He smiled and said, "I'll ask General Cao to send me twenty men."
Cao Shen is safe and will definitely not go wrong.
Liu Ying agreed repeatedly.
Sui He added: "Young master, although I have left and cannot be with you, your studies must not be neglected. Please ask Chen Shencheng to urge you to study morning and night and not to slack off."
What could Liu Ying say, she could only agree with a grimace.
On the same day, Suihe took twenty capable Han troops and went straight to Lu'an to meet Yingbu.
From that day on, Liu Ying studied with Chen Ping.
Although they were both literati, Chen Ping studied Huang Lao's studies, which was completely different from Sui He and others. In addition, he was a deep-minded and good at strategy, so his lectures were completely different.
Liu Ying liked Chen Ping's style very much and asked him for advice every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep.
But on this day, Liu Bang suddenly sent someone to call Liu Ying over.
Liu Bang looked solemn and asked, "Shuzi, have you ever studied hard?"
Call me Shuzi again!
Liu Ying was unhappy and could only nod her head and said: "It's very thoughtful."
"Nonsense!" Liu Bang said angrily: "You were studying with Chen Ping. This man stole his sister-in-law when he was at home. When the king of Wei did not allow it, he died and returned to Chu. When he failed to return to Chu, he died and returned to Han... Such capriciousness, day and night, Can he be a good teacher? If he doesn’t have a good teacher, how can he talk about his studies?”
Liu Ying was slightly surprised. These words were not unfamiliar to her. It was spread everywhere by those who were jealous of Chen Ping. Unexpectedly, even Liu Bang knew about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying laughed and said, "Father, what you said is wrong. What advantages do you think you have compared to the princes in the world?"
"Strengths?" Liu Bang was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "There are too many. Naiweng is magnanimous, benevolent, wise, talented and strategic... I can't even finish my list of strengths."
Good guy, this one is blowing again.
Liu Ying really admires you. Your greatest advantage is that you are thick-skinned!
"My father despises Confucian scholars, but there are still many Confucian scholars who are willing to use me. Do you know why?"
Liu Bang frowned. This was a good question, but he wasn't very clear about it, so he said in a deep voice, "Just tell me."
Liu Ying said: "Confucian scholars say that although the king of Han is rude, he is good at using people. He can entrust important tasks when encountering problems, he does not hesitate to reward when things are accomplished, he is true to his word, and he has clear rewards and punishments."
Liu Bang grinned, "Nai Weng likes to hear what you say... Nai Weng's most proud skill is employing people! One person's power is limited, and he must have the power of the world's heroes to achieve great things!"
Speaking of employing people, Liu Bang was very happy... Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, all these outstanding people were used by him. On the other hand, Xiang Yu was just a Fan Zeng.
Liu Ying nodded and said: "Since my father prides himself on being good at employing people, it should be clear that Chen Ping is Chen Ping. He was not reused by the King of Wei, but when he came to Xiang Yu's tent, he was jealous again... This is their fault , it’s not Chen Ping’s fault. If my father can make good use of this person, it will mean that my father is far better than Xiang Yu!"
Liu Bang's eyes lit up. He wanted to defeat Xiang Yu so much, even if it was just in hiring people, so he smiled brightly and said, "Ying, what you say makes sense! But Chen Ping is amassing money and accepting generous gifts from others. What do you say?"
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Father, Chen Ping is alone and has to eat and drink, not to mention..."
After a pause, Liu Ying lowered her voice and said: "If Chen Ping wants to advise the king, he must have insight into opportunities and know himself and his enemy."
Liu Bang frowned, "What do you mean...Chen Ping used the money to bribe people and find out the news?"
Liu Ying said: "Father, he has worked under King Wei and King Xiang and knows the inside story quite well."
When Liu Bang heard this, he was suddenly shocked. He needed such talents, and said quickly: "Quick, go and invite Chen Ping over."
