Xingyang City.
Liu Bang, Luo Yi, Lu Ze, Zhang Liang and other senior Han army officials sat together and looked at the battle report sent by Han Xin, without saying a word.
Looking carefully, everyone's faces were full of confusion, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Only Luo Yi was shocked, but his eyes were full of smiles. Recommending Han Xin to Liu Bang was really the proudest thing in his life besides Luo.
One sentence echoed in everyone's mind, why is this person so fierce? Is this still a human being?
It has only been a year since we borrowed troops from Liu Bang. This little time is not even enough to train troops, so how can we defeat Zhao, Dai, and Yan?
Zhang Liang's plan was designed with more than five years in mind, but Han Xin's ability was completely beyond his expectation.
Liu Bang finally recovered from the shock, looked around at everyone and said: "The general's contribution is really too great. Neither the king nor the prince can repay the general's contribution.
Apart from being crowned king, I really don't know what to reward him.
He quickly sent an envoy to issue an order to the general, conferred the title of King of Zhao on him, commanded the armies of the three kingdoms of Zhao and Dai, and went south to join forces with Qi to attack Chu. "
No one had any objections. Luo Yi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Everyone bowed their heads in agreement. Finally, they were about to fight the Chu Kingdom, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The messenger quickly went to find Han Xin with his message.
At this time, Han Xin led hundreds of thousands of troops from Wei, Zhao, Dai, and Yan.
These armies were well organized under his command, which was completely different from when Liu Bang was commanded by Xiang Ying in the past.
If Liu Bang saw this, he would probably wave his hands vigorously and shout "Impossible, absolutely impossible".
Han Xin saw Liu Bang's envoy on his way south to Qi State and hurriedly welcomed the Chinese army.
Unexpectedly, the envoy just walked in, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "I humble myself to pay homage to your Majesty!"
Luo Cai narrowed his eyes slightly beside him, already guessing that Liu Bang was going to give Han a letter to the king.
Han Xin was shocked and asked repeatedly: "Messenger, what do you mean by this?"
The envoy directly handed over the decree and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has great merits. The King of Han wants to make you the King of Zhao and orders you to lead the army south to attack Chu."
Only then did Han Xin understand, and then he was overjoyed. He was finally a minister, and he immediately turned to look at Luo Cai.
Then he saw Luo Cai's pretty face approaching, and the two chatted slightly.
The envoy did not hear the beginning, but only heard Han Xin say that he hoped Luo Cai would become the queen, and Luo Cai said that his wife was enough.
When the envoy walked out of the camp with Han Xin's reply to refuse the throne, he was still confused.
He really couldn't imagine that anyone would refuse the throne, especially since Han Xin deserved to be the king for his merits.
Luo Cai looked at Han Xin, who was a little stunned, and asked softly: "My beloved is reluctant to part with the throne? The envoy has not gone far, and he can be called back."
Han Xin quickly shook his head and said: "Of course not, Xin has Cainiang, and the position of prince is just mediocre. I was just thinking, if he really takes the throne, will the king be afraid of Xin?"
The king is kind to Xin, and Xin is loyal to the king.
Although I sometimes feel that the king is rude, I have never thought about betrayal. Will the king really risk his life just because of a throne? "
Luo Cai sat next to Han Xin and said softly: "My beloved, don't speculate on things that have never happened. As a minister, it is enough to just abide by your duty at all times.
The king is the most unreasonable person in the world. The eldest brother said that every king will become a single husband, so don't take risks.
You don't want the throne now, plus what you just missed to the envoy, plus your past loyalty, the King of Han will not be moved.
If you have reached this level and he still doesn't trust you, Cai will go to ask the elder brother. As long as the elder brother is willing to take action, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Don't think so much and prepare well. The next battle with Xiang Yu won't be that easy.
If you defeat Xiang Yu, you will be the best military strategist from ancient times to the present. "
Listening to the gentle words in his ears, Han Xin gradually became firmer, "Contact Qi and go south to attack Chu."
A mighty 400,000-strong army marched south from Yan and Zhao. Under the leadership of Han Xin, this is currently the strongest military force in the world.
…
Linzi City.
King Lu Cheng of Qi laughed wildly, waving the battle report in his hand to the left and right, and then asked loudly to the left and right: "How? How?"
Lu Cheng now felt that King Su must favor him. He followed Luo Ling at first, and then firmly obtained the throne of Qi.
Seeing Xiang Yu's displeasure, he immediately jumped back and invested in Liu Bang after Liu Bang's defeat. Unexpectedly, in less than two years, the world's situation would reverse to this point.
Liu Bang actually occupied the lands of Bashu, Guanzhong and the Three Jin Dynasties. In addition, Jiujiang and other places were Liu Bang's allies. Together with the Qi State, Liu Bang already had 80% of the world's strength.
Now King Qi just wants to say something to Xiang Yu, the offensive and defensive positions have changed.
The ministers of Qi State all worshiped and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The King of Qi said enthusiastically: "Han Xin, the general of the Han Dynasty, sent a letter to invite me to send troops together. He immediately organized his troops. Xiang Yu has beaten me for so long, it is time to go back."
Han Xin and the King of Qi joined together, and their troops had swelled to half a million. Such a huge force came from the land of Qi and Zhao, while Liu Bang was in the land of Zheng. The entire Chu State was surrounded by enemies from all directions.
Xiang Ying.
Xiang Yu also looked at Han Xin's achievements in disbelief. On the map, all the land belonged to Liu Bang and his allies. This was exactly the scene when Qin finally fell to Chu.
Long Qie asked with an anxious look on his face: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Xiang Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it up. Back then, the Qin army in Handan was 400,000, and Xiang Ying's 600,000 were defeated. How can I still be afraid now?" ?
I am invincible in the world, and with the support of the people of Chu, I can conquer anyone in the world. "
The Chu ministers all retreated to prepare for the war. When Yu Ji appeared, she found that Xiang Yu's majestic body was trembling slightly. Of course she knew that Xiang Yu was not afraid, so she asked softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Xiang Yu said solemnly: "The last time I returned to Jiangdong to reward my father with grain and silk, I saw the graves of many of my children. At that time, my uncle and Luo Gongling took the Jiangdong children across the river to the north to conquer Qin. Later, my uncle died in the battle. These Jiangdong children So he followed the widow.
There are still five thousand people left, and I am really scared. If these disciples die in the war with Liu Bang, even if I gain the world, I will not even dare to go back to Jiangdong. "
Jiangdong has been the fiefdom of the Xiang family for hundreds of years, and the Jiangdong fathers are the real fathers. If all these people really die, even if the Jiangdong fathers pity and love him, Xiang Yu himself will not be able to return to Jiangdong.
Just like the bloody Wangji incident in the past, which led to the death of a Luohou in anger, a large part of the reason was that he was too stressed out because he had no face to see his elders.
Yu Ji's heart sank when she heard this, but she still said softly: "Your Majesty, you must not blame yourself so much. In this troubled world, it is rare to have a king like you. This is the kindness of Jiangdong fathers to you. The reason."
Xiang Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "What's the use of defeating Liu Ji again?
In the battle of Xiang Ying, everyone thought that the world was settled, but they didn't expect that Liu Ji would make a comeback in the blink of an eye, even far stronger than last time.
It has been three years since I came out from Jiangdong, and no one who resisted me has been defeated, and no one I attacked has been disobedient. Everyone in the world knows that I am good at fighting, but I don't understand why those who win are getting weaker and weaker, and those who lose are getting weaker and weaker. Getting stronger and stronger.
This may be because King Su did not bless me, but God bless Liu Ji.
I don't want to fight this kind of meaningless war anymore. It's useless to defeat Liu Bang again, so I have peace talks with Liu Ji. "
Yu Ji does not want Xiang Yu to fight again, especially now that it is becoming more and more dangerous.
Hearing that Xiang Yu was willing to negotiate, of course he was willing, and then worried: "But now that the King of Han has the upper hand, will he agree to peace talks?"
Xiang Yu smiled and said: "This morning Young Master Xin paid a sudden visit to me and informed me of the special status of the Queen of Han among Liu Jijun.
Lu Ze, the elder brother of the Queen of Han, controlled one-third of Liu Ji's troops.
King Lu Cheng of Qi was a sibling of Lu Ze and the Queen of Han, and had always been in contact with each other. There were also other forces that supported the Queen of Han.
Liu Ji had the advantage because he had many allies, but many of them were brought by his wife.
In exchange for the Queen of Han, if Liu Ji is not willing, then there will be chaos within himself. "
After Luo Xin learned that Xiang Yu had received the news, he went straight to Lu Pheasant's courtyard.
After two years of confinement, Lu Pheasant did not look haggard at all. Instead, he was full of energy and became more and more charming.
Luo Xin smiled and said: "Eshan, you should be able to leave here soon.
The King of Han had already gained half of the world, and even King Xiang couldn't hold it back. He wanted to make peace with the King of Han and end the war. "
Lu Zhi paused after hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Is what the young master said true?"
Luo Xin laughed loudly and said, "Of course I take it seriously."
Lu Pheasant raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky, with an expression that seemed to be smiling or crying, and said slowly: "Master, if you can leave here, I will definitely repay your kindness and friendship."
Luo Xin didn't care. As his eldest brother said, he just followed his heart and didn't care about the final outcome.
Xiang Yu wanted peace talks, and offered the queen in exchange.
When the news reached Liu Bang's army, most of them were silent. Lu Ze said directly: "Peace talks should be held. The queen and the crown prince are the foundation of the country. Xiang Yu is already a piece of fish on the chopping board. Which one is more important? It is obvious."
Luo Yidao: "When the Luo Kingdom existed, both the king and the prince could represent the Luo clan. After the fall of the Luo clan, only the head of the Luo clan could represent the Luo clan and King Su.
But the eldest brother lives in Zhaocheng without seeing outsiders, so he will not bear witness to such ridiculous peace talks.
Would Xiang Yu believe in the peace talks without Luo's participation? "
Liu Bang was struggling in his heart. Of course he was unwilling to negotiate peace. He had no shortage of women and children. Even if Liu Ying died, he would not be left without an heir.
But he knew that looking at the people in front of him, and then looking at the King of Qi and others supporting the troops, this was actually not a multiple-choice question.
————
The "Xingyang Peace Talks" is one of the famous conspiracy in history. Liu Bang is the strong party and Xiang Yu is the weak party. However, in the face of the peace talks presented by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang has no choice but to agree. Even Liu Bang cannot Don’t think too much, but agree immediately. It contains countless balanced relationships between people and things, which is really exquisite. ——"Looking at the workplace from the "Ten Conspiracies""
I finally had a rest today. I started to save the manuscript and adjusted the update time. From now on, I will update the first chapter at 12 noon every day. I will also wait until I save the third chapter to start returning it. Otherwise, I am worried that I will encounter another unexpected incident. Break updates.
