Luo Cai looked at Han Xin brightly, with surprise and smile in her eyes. The short conversation she had with Han Xin just now made her feel as if she had caught a big fish.
The poor boy in front of him, who looks a bit shabby and embarrassed, has a strategy in his heart that can shock the world. If he can be brought to Liu Bang's camp, he will definitely be his brother's arm.
With Luo's help, Han Xin can show off his talents more smoothly, instead of being unknown and waiting for opportunities like now.
Luo Cai couldn't help laughing when he recalled the Han Xin who showed him like a peacock with its tail just now.
Han Xin was a little annoyed, feeling that his behavior just now was really rude. When he heard Luo Cai's laughter and saw her beautiful face, he couldn't help but said: "My lady, Xin was rude just now."
Luo Cai waved his hands indifferently and said: "Don't worry about those little details. You are a wise man with extraordinary talents. If my brother knew that the person he gave the jade to had such talents, he would be happy to recommend you. This world will really reverberate with you. name."
Han Xin originally wanted to go to Zhao to join Xiang Liang, but after meeting Luo Cai and hearing that the young master who gave him the jade before was under the command of Pei Gong, Han Xin changed his mind. He was a man who repaid his kindness and wanted to follow him. Luo Cai went to see the Duke of Pei.
Listening to Luo's ancestral chicken soup, Han Xin secretly glanced at Luo Cai's bright and jade face, and said in his heart: King Su, please protect me. I believe that in this life I will be as noble as a prince, wear a seal, hold a sharp sword, and make unshakable goals. The meritorious deeds in this life, and then beg for a noble daughter.
…
After the alliance in Zhaocheng, Luoling essentially became the uncrowned king of the Shandong princes. He was responsible for the strategic planning of the entire Shandong princes, integrating all the forces of Shandong heroes to prevent the Qin Dynasty from defeating them one by one. A war report was handed to him. Suggestions for the future issued from his hands and then reached the hands of various alliance princes.
Although they are suggestions on the surface, in fact the princes do not have much room for flexible choices, because Luo Ling can fully understand the people's hearts and the general trend of the world. His suggestions basically cover all aspects, and also take into account the personalities and thoughts of each prince. , as soon as everyone received the suggestion, after much thought, they could only do what Luo Ling said, which made the princes from all sides feel a little afraid of Luo Ling.
Xiang Liang led the Chu army across the river and entered the land of Zhao with King Xie of Zhao. King Xie of Zhao said: "Mr. Chu, Duke Luo sent a letter saying that Zhang Han's winning streak is at its peak, and Zhang Han is good at waiting for work with ease. We must be careful with the tactics of luring the enemy deep into the country. King Dai and King Yan are packing up their troops. Pei Gong and others lead the army to attack Guanzhong. The King of Qin's court will definitely be shocked. Afterwards, they will be surrounded on all sides. If they cut off their food routes first, they will be able to win. Of."
Xiang Liang muttered: "Luo Gong Tianzong is doing things safely, but the morale of our army is strong. Let's have a small battle with Zhang Han first. His subordinates are all prisoners of Lishan. Are you willing to accept his drive?"
King Xie of Zhao agreed with Xiang Liang's words, so the elite soldiers of Zhao and Chu united to fight against Zhang Han. The troops of Chu and Zhao were shouting loudly. In the war against the violent Qin, their morale was strong and they were equipped. After the armor and weapons from various counties and counties, the combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved. On the other hand, the Qin State's Lishan Prisoner Army was indeed not as effective as the rebel army. Xiang Liang and Zhao Wangxie won a great victory, beheading thousands, and also beheaded many people. Several generals from the Qin State, Zhang Han, led the Qin troops to retreat.
This victory greatly boosted the morale of the rebel army. King Zhao Xie, who participated in the whole battle, laughed wildly and sighed: "So is this the only way the Qin soldiers are?"
Xiang Liang even laughed loudly and said: "King Zhao, the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. The Qin Dynasty is cruel and unkind. The capitals of the world and Guizhou are looking forward to its demise. The same is true for the prisoners in Lishan. They have invincible thoughts in their hearts. Could it be that Can we still win? That doesn't make sense."
Zhang Han's face also looked a little unsightly. Although it was his intention to lure the enemy deeper, the result also made him a little dissatisfied. If the opponent was more aggressive, he would really collapse at the first touch.
Naturally, Luo Ling could not stay in Zhaocheng forever. He was collecting intelligence from all over the world and paying attention to the situation in the world, even the barbarians outside Zhuxia.
However, the people of Xia now despise the barbarians. During the war, Yan, Zhao and Qin were able to defeat the north. When the First Emperor unified the world, in just two or three years, the north and the south each opened up countless lands.
The biggest problem of Zhao Tuo's conquest of South Vietnam was the climate, not the combat effectiveness of the South Vietnamese. Meng Tian led the Great Wall Corps to easily sweep across the barbarians in the north, forcing them to leave the fertile Hetao. Who would let go of such stinky fish and rotten shrimps? In your heart?
However, the news sent today made him frown slightly. The capable man sat in front of him and said: "Master, the merchants who have been doing business with the grassland these days have received news that the grassland tribes have suddenly increased their demand for supplies. Buy, weapons are gradually rising among the various tribes. In recent years, the climate in the north has been suitable and the population has gradually increased. Now it is a good thing to attack each other."
Luo Ling gently tapped the frame of the carriage and pondered. A war broke out among the barbarians in the north. This was not necessarily a good thing. King Su had a lot to say about war. He was an invincible god of war, but he clearly warned future generations. .
All wise politicians should try their best to prevent themselves and their enemies from falling into a war without political purpose, because war is the greatest uncertainty in the world.
It may cause a country to fall into the quagmire of war and collapse, but it may also cause a country or even a race to be reborn from the ruins and reunite from chaos.
Luo Ling was about to arrange something when suddenly there was a sound of obviously urgent footsteps outside the car, "Master, something bad has happened. Duke Chu has been defeated in Hebei and is in danger."
Luo Ling frowned when he heard this. There was no trace of panic on his face. Hearing that his most important ally was defeated did not have any impact on his mood. He just said in a deep voice: "Calm down, don't be so anxious, I'm here If the sky doesn’t fall, slowly tell me what’s going on.”
Hearing Luo Ling's calm words, the hurried man gasped slightly and began to organize his words. Luo Ling gently tapped the frame of the carriage and said: "Notify, go to Hebei, go to Zhaodi."
At this time, the man who came to deliver the letter began to narrate: "The head of the family, Chu Gongliang and Zhao Wangxie fought with Zhang Han. The Qin army was defeated and retreated, so Chu Gongliang and Zhao Wangxie pursued. First, they held a stalemate for a while, and then fought with each other. Victory, but ended up falling into Zhang Han's trap, being cut off from food routes, and then returned in defeat, with the Chu and Zhao armies suffering heavy casualties."
Luo Ling looked at the battle report in his hand, which was roughly the same as what the messenger described. He knew that Zhang Han must have something wrong with this battle report, and sighed softly: "Mr. Chu is really confused. The information in this battle report, Zhang Han is so... It is obvious that we are defeated but not defeated, defeated but not damaged. Is this really a failure?
Under such circumstances, it would probably be unreasonable to pursue him without failure. "
If Xiang Liang heard Luo Ling's words, I'm afraid he would feel aggrieved. He didn't see that he was defeated without defeat and defeated without loss. If he saw it, would he still be fooled?
Not everyone can tell these things at a glance from the messy information. Luo Ling's level is typically too high.
"How about Chu Gongliang and Zhao Wangxie?"
It's just a war. If you lose, you lose. Luo Ling doesn't care too much. If the world is a chessboard, no one can win in all aspects all the time. Luo Ling can guarantee that he will always win, but he is just one person. As long as his allies don't cause irreparable consequences, he can wait until he goes into battle in person and then fight back.
"The two led the army to retreat, but Chu Gongliang seemed to be seriously injured, his face was as white as paper, and he was in danger. Zhao Wangxie was afraid that Zhang Han would pursue him, so he led Chu Gongliang around for days, which was probably even more serious."
Luo Ling's body, which was already sitting upright, became even more rigid, and his expression, which had been a bit unconcerned, suddenly became serious. Although Luo Ling valued Xiang Yu the most, a disciple with the potential to be a military leader, and thought that this was a way to kill Qin. The sharpest sword in the dynasty.
But Xiang Liang is the head of the Xiang family, and the entire Xiang family's power and the power of the Chu State are also unified under Xiang Liang. Moreover, Xiang Liang is a qualified politician, and he is different from a general like Xiang Yu who only knows how to fight and kill. different.
If something happens to Xiang Liang, there will be a certain amount of internal strife in the Chu State. It will take time to regroup the strength of the Chu State. Every delay of time will extend the life of the Qin Dynasty, which is not a good thing for the world's top leaders. Luo Shi was also very sad to end this situation.
Luo Ling asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Did Chu Gongliang personally go into battle? He's not a brave general like Xiang Yu. If he doesn't sit at the rear, is it possible that he can charge in personally?"
Luo Ling was a little angry. He had previously advised him not to advance rashly and wait for the kings to take their seats. Xiang Liang didn't listen and suffered a defeat. This was actually not a big deal.
After all, the general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted, let alone his words. If the general has his own judgment and makes certain adjustments, this is normal.
But making such a low-level mistake twice, even ruining a good situation, is Xiang Liang's problem.
Luo Ling closed his eyes slightly and exhaled softly. The matter was over, let's see Xiang Liang first, hoping to see him alive again.
…
Zhao Wangxie's army did not suffer as heavy losses as Xiang Liang's, and he himself was not seriously injured, just a slight scratch on his skin, because he was relatively timid and did not rush directly to the front of the formation like Xiang Liang. .
Xiang Liang was lying on the hospital bed with a sallow complexion. The decoration in the room was very plain. This was their temporary stay. Xiang Liang was still immersed in regret, "King Zhao, how is the situation now?"
King Zhao sighed and said: "It has been temporarily stabilized, but Zhang Han is chasing after him and attacking continuously. If no reinforcements come, we will definitely not be able to withstand it. We will continue to flee eastward towards Zhaocheng and Qi State."
Hearing Zhaocheng, Xiang Liang's eyes flickered and sighed: "I don't know if I can see Luo Gong again, Liang is really...
well! "
Xiang Liang couldn't speak anymore.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open, and the sun shone directly in. The whole room seemed very bright. A group of people walked in directly. The leader was a man with a face as beautiful as jade and a majestic appearance. His gaze swept across the majestic and majestic mark, and the sacred mark between his eyebrows shone brightly. It was Luoling.
Xiang Liang didn't care about his own body, forced himself to sit up, and said sadly: "Lord Luo."
Luo Ling's heart was cold, but he sighed on his face: "Mr. Chu, please lie down quickly and take good care of yourself. The people of Chu still need your leadership, and they still need your efforts to overthrow the violent Qin. Do you want to do it?" Are you going to fall down at this time? No one in the world will agree."
Xiang Liang directly grabbed Luo Ling's hand. His weak body was very strong, and he held it tightly. He stared at Luo Ling and said: "Luo Gong, these days, so many medicines have not been able to cure it. I'm afraid it's... King Taiyisu is summoning Liang, and everything in this world can no longer be managed. Liang is holding his breath in his heart just because he wants to see you again."
Everyone in the room was awe-struck when they heard this. Xiang Liang was a big shot among the princes of Shandong. Fifty-six out of ten of the princes' soldiers came from Chu. His prestige among the princes was no less than that of Luoling.
In terms of blood alone, the Xiang family has been a nobleman with the surname Ji for more than 800 years, and the Lu family has been a nobleman for thousands of years. Although they do not have something as magical as the Luo family's stigmata, they are still similar to ordinary people.
Princes, generals and ministers are born of noble birth, and it does not just refer to the Luo family. During the Bang and Zhou era, the entire aristocratic class was shrouded in divine glory.
Luo Shi relied more on King Su's prestige at the grassroots level and his own good political credibility, so that many rebel leaders in Shandong were willing to unite under the fair and bottom-line political rules formulated by Luo Shi.
Luo Ling knew that Xiang Liang had something to say to him. Zhao Wangxie walked out of the house, and everyone else walked out one after another. Xiang Liang's hands gradually loosened, and he first asked, "Luo Gong, Liang's failure will definitely affect the overthrow of Luo Ling." Does Qin have a great influence?"
Xiang Liang was most concerned about overthrowing Bao Qin, but he was a little indifferent about his own life and death. Luo Ling said calmly: "Bao Qin will eventually be destroyed. This is King Su's will, and no one can violate it."
Xiang Liang smiled when he heard this and said relaxedly: "As long as Bao Qin is destroyed, Liang can go to see his father and ancestors."
Luo Ling was silent, and Xiang Liang murmured as if to himself: "Gong Ziling, Duke Luo Yanyan came to Chu more than 800 years ago. He was the ancestor of the Xiang family of Chu State. After three generations, he lost his holy name. Hen changed his surname to Xiang, which is the origin of the Xiang surname.
Since then, the Xiang family has completely become a Chu people, and has assisted the king of Chu from generation to generation. During this period, he wanted to reform, and there were failures and successes.
After 800 years, many Chu people actually don't know what the Xiang family wants. They call the Xiang family the 'Qing of Wang Zuo', and the whole family is so tense, wanting to make the Chu Kingdom like the Emperor of Zhou. The common master of the world.
In the end, when his father died in the hands of the Qin people, this dream was completely shattered, and the Chu Kingdom was destroyed in the hands of the Qin people.
Do you know how much Liang hates Ying Qin? Do you know how many Chu people died at the hands of Qin people? Do you know how many Xiang clan members died at the hands of the Qin people? "
Xiang Liang was about to gnash his teeth, "The one who killed Zhou was Qin, and the one who inherited Qin was Luo. Presumably the Luo family's style will not kill all the Qin clan, so let the Xiang family do it. Liang begs you, if in the future Yu Yu That kid wants to kill all the Qin clan, don't stop him!"
As powerful as Luo Ling, he would hardly let any of his emotions leak out, and no one would be able to detect his inner thoughts. All the emotions he exposed to the outside world were done deliberately.
Facing the current Xiang Liang, Luo Ling knew what he really meant. This was Xiang Liang's intention to make Xiang Yu the future head of the family, but Xiang Yu was too clear-cut in distinguishing between himself and outsiders. If the Chu people were in his In front of him, he is the most kind monarch in the world, but if people from other countries are in front of him, he is no different from the First Emperor and does not treat people as human beings.
Xiang Liang knew that Xiang Yu would definitely retaliate against the Qin people, and was worried that Xiang Yu's cruelty would offend the Luo family, which would be detrimental to Xiang Yu's future, so he vaccinated Luo Ling in advance and used his deep hatred to endorse Xiang Yu's possible future actions. .
I really felt sorry for Xiang Liang. Luo Ling held his hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "It's okay if you want. Have you chosen Xiang Yu?"
This is Luo Ling's answer. As long as you can bear the consequences, you can do anything in the world. Killing all the Qin clan is not unacceptable to the Luo family. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. That's it. In the century-old war to annihilate the country, there was nothing gentle, respectful and thrifty; it was all naked killing.
Xiang Liang said helplessly: "Yu'er is not the best choice, but he is the only choice. Lord Ziling, even Bao Qin can get the destiny. Is it possible for the Chu people to bear the destiny?"
Luo Ling heard the words and said softly: "I am just a mortal. How can I know the will of God? But this cycle of heavenly principles always depends on the human heart. Otherwise, it is as powerful as the violent Qin. Even if he gets the destiny, it will only last more than ten years. If the whole world is against it, what's the use of having such a destiny?
I don’t know whether the Chu State will receive the destiny, but as long as the general trend of the world converges on the Chu State and the people’s hearts converge on the Chu State, then the Chu State will receive the destiny.
Just like the Zhou Dynasty, even the nobles of the Yin and Shang Dynasties abandoned King Zhou of Shang and turned to welcome King Wu's army. This shows the support of the people and the destiny of heaven must be reflected here. "
In fact, what Xiang Liang wants to ask is whether King Su is willing to let the Xiang family carry the destiny. Although no one in the Xiang family has seen King Su, after all, even many of the direct descendants of the Luo family have never seen King Su, but the Xiang family is sure that Su Wang must be here, otherwise how could Luo have always been on Xiang's head? This is a kind of mysterious self-confidence.
Several generations have passed since the other princes left. Although they still respect King Su in their hearts. After all, this is their ancestor, they still have doubts in their hearts about whether King Su really exists. Therefore, the Xiang family is really special.
Xiang Liang actually had worries in his heart. If the Luo family did not become king, this must be King Su's will. So would the Xiang family not be able to become the king as well?
He did not directly call him the king of Chu because of this consideration, but when he was about to die, he decided to ask directly. Luo Ling gave him a very satisfactory answer. The Chu country could be called the king, and even get the destiny and become Chutian son.
Xiang Liang began to cough heavily, and finally said: "Gong Ziling, Zhang Han is in full arrogance. He is indeed a famous general in the world. Even if he comes ten times, I'm afraid Liang will still fall into the trap.
But you have wisdom that Liang doesn't have. No one in this world can deceive you. I'm afraid Zhang Han won't be able to play with his treacherous thoughts in front of you.
The only thing you need to think about is that Zhang Han's Lishan prisoner army is not that vulnerable. They have very strong fighting power. You must fight with elite troops to fight them. Liang's previous consecutive victories were deliberately done by Zhang Han. , once Zhang Han began to fight with all his strength, he immediately discovered that the Qin army was not weaker than the elite troops of Chu. "
Of course Luo Ling knew very well: "The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict and they broke the law at every turn. Many soldiers did not have enough titles to offset their crimes and could only be punished with corvee and hard labor. Most of the prisoners in Lishan were even on the battlefield. Once the elite soldiers above are organized, they will naturally have strong combat effectiveness. I have warned you before to be careful of Zhang Han's prisoner army."
Xiang Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I asked Yu'er before about his fight with Meng Tian's Great Wall Corps. Yu'er said that the Qin soldiers were cowardly and not as brave as the Chu people. He won all three battles, beheading thousands and losing eleven. It's not a big deal to say Qin soldiers.
When Liang and King Zhao crossed the river, they fought against the Qin soldiers, so they thought that the Qin soldiers were really not worth mentioning. This was Liang's fault. "
Luo Ling was speechless when he heard this. You, an ordinary general, actually asked a soldier like Xiang Yu who could carry a cauldron. To him, the Qin soldiers might be really cowardly, and even to him, ordinary soldiers and generals There is no difference, they are not his enemies anyway.
But ordinary people still need to be self-aware and not think about such fanciful things as defeating more with less, killing enemies and capturing flags all day long.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. I have sent a message to King Dai and King Yan. They have succeeded in gathering powerful people and heads of Guizhou in Dai and Yan. Now they have gathered hundreds of thousands of people and are stationed in the east of Taihang. You and King Zhao After the defeat, King Dai and King Yan were a little afraid of Zhang Han and hesitated to move forward.
The plan for now is to mobilize the rebels from Henan to Hebei, attack Zhang Han first, make Zhang Han withdraw from Zhao, and then slowly plot. Xiang Yu will definitely avenge you, and he may have led the Chu army to Hebei. Come.
I have already written to the King of Qi and the King of Jiaodong. These two will not refuse my request. When the rebel armies from all over the world gather in Hebei, they will definitely make sure that Zhang Han dies without a burial place. "
As for whether Meng Tian would sit back and watch the rebels launch such a large-scale alliance, and whether he would support Zhang Han in Hebei, Luo Ling looked at Liu Bang in Nanyang. Although Liu Bang was a small shrimp compared to the Xiang family, this small shrimp The location was so critical that the Qin Dynasty felt like it was stuck in its throat. Meng Tian had already sent a large number of troops to pursue Liu Bang, but he was unable to do anything at all.
No one knew how much time Liu Bang and Meng Tian would waste between them, but Luo Ling keenly seized this short gap and beat Zhang Han to death in this short period of time!
————
The heroes of Shandong came out from Zhaocheng. Chu Gongliang and Zhao Wang fought in Hebei. Qi Wang, Jiaodong King and Xiang Yu fought in Henan. Peigong fought in Nanyang. Dai and Yan gathered their elite troops, gathered powerful men, and went down to Zhongshan. The heroes bowed their heads and the emperor supported them. Su Horan said: I have four seas, and I am depressed and trapped in the sky. I have a mausoleum and command the world to destroy Qin. ——"Historical Records: Luo Zhaogong Family"
