Liu Bang's mood gradually became cold.

From the moment Xiao He spoke, he felt that Xiao He was no longer the Xiao He he he had been a year ago.

It is gratifying to be crowned a king, and it is even something that I didn't even dare to think about before.

But now, it is not his goal to become king.

is just a king, and he can't satisfy Liu Bang's desires.

He saw the strength of the Chu State, and also saw the weakness of the Chu State.

Although even if there is no Chu State, there is still the Han State Mountain pressing on top of his head.

But once the sender is under the fence, it is difficult to say whether there will be another chance in the future.

Moreover, even if he did have the opportunity, he would face an even more difficult situation than he already faced.

Competing for hegemony with the Han Kingdom is now the best opportunity.

Although this is only theoretical......

Liu Bang thought about it, but he didn't dare to think about it.

But whether you think about it or not, reality does happen.

"When will he be king? However, as soon as the king of Han said that, the establishment of the Han State could not be the king, could it be possible to expand the territory? Liu Bang said in a deep tone.

Xiao He was stunned and looked at Liu Bang in surprise.

How smart is Xiao He?

The two have been friends for many years, and they often talk about some general trends in the world together, who can not understand whom?

How can you not see Liu Bang's thoughts?

Even if the situation no longer allows it, he still hasn't given up wanting to dominate.

"The Han King's control of the country is far from as simple as you and I think, the military and civilians of the Han State are very satisfied with the status quo, so although there are still many places in various places that are not in place, it still cannot shake the stable rule of the Han State, and now it is almost impossible for anyone to do things in the Han State."

"Therefore, if you want to be crowned king next, it is nothing more than a few roads, one of them, go north to the grassland, King Han began to prepare for a decisive battle against the steppe nomads as early as a year ago, and he has realized the impact that the northern barbarians will have on Zhuxia."

"After the unification of Zhuxia, the Han State will make every effort to prepare for the war in the north, and the way to the south has long been stuck, so this time the Chu State is in a catastrophe."

"The second is to go south, but the environment in the south is too harsh, and it is not a matter of time and a half to want to conquer."

"The third is to go west, which is relatively less difficult in the west......

Liu Bang listened carefully to Xiao He's story, but finally shook his head.

"If you leave Zhuxia, what kind of hegemony can you talk about?"

After leaving Zhuxia, what if you go outside, even if you are crowned king?

How many of his soldiers are willing to move with his family?

Even if they are willing, how many are there?

Although he had not been to those places, he had heard of them, and they were all wild.

The steppe peoples are inexhaustible, and at most they will break up their main forces.

The same is true elsewhere, and even if the situation is better in the west, there is one key point that cannot be avoided.

Once they are crowned kings abroad, the rest of their lives, and even the rest of their descendants, must be used to guard against these local natives.

In this way, how can you have the energy to go to a certain map Zhuxia again?

In this way, wouldn't they be the ones who helped the Han Kingdom solve all the external troubles outside?

In this way, they are working hard outside, spending a lot of manpower, energy and material resources every year, while the Han Kingdom can develop with peace of mind.

Ten or twenty years from now, the Han Kingdom will become stronger and stronger, and what about them?

How can you still have the heart to seek hegemony again?

Even if you do, do you still have the energy?

Can you still fight the Han army that has been recuperating for many years?

Thinking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but glance at Xiao He.

No wonder Xiao He said that the Han King's control of the Han Kingdom was definitely not what they thought, and no wonder outsiders said that the Han King was far-sighted.

The three provinces have divided the power of the prime minister, although they are ranked as prime ministers, but it is not so convenient for a person to do what he wants.

And the probability that three people can urinate into a pot is very small, and it is impossible for them to pee into a pot.

Externally, let these heroes who have opened up the territory to guard the frontier in the way of a king, and sweep away the surrounding enemies.

Internally, the restrictions on various rights and the strengthening of centralized power are even more in place than the first emperor.

Isn't that visionary?

Although he didn't know what Wang was still trying to do, Liu Bang could feel that this must not be all his hole cards.

Good calculation!

What a calculation!

Even an old silver coin like Liu Bang felt that Wang was not hungry, and this method was terrifying.

Seeing the change in the expression on Liu Bang's face, Xiao He probably had a number in his heart.

It seems that this persuasion will most likely not be able to sustain it.

He knows Liu Bang too well, and when he doesn't have a chance, he thinks that now that he is one step closer to success, of course he will not give up easily.

Liu Bang is certainly not a stupid person.

It's just that one person's energy can't take into account all aspects after all, so he needs the assistance of his ministers.

As the lord, it is natural to be able to make decisions.

He believed that Liu Bang had seen the true intention of King Han's move.

But this is the case, and now the king of Han is in the Han kingdom, and his prestige allows him to do so, and his people want him to do it.

That's the root of the problem, and no one can change the situation.

Xiao He knew that he couldn't become a king, and he didn't think about becoming that king.

So for him, feelings naturally belong to feelings, but if he can use his life to do a big thing that is really beneficial to future generations, he will still do it.

And now it seems that it is more meaningful to assist King Han than to assist Liu Bang.

Because through contact, it was found that Hanwang was better than Liu Bang in all aspects.

And this is very rare for a man in his early twenties.

Assisting the King of Han, he had at least twenty Chinese New Year's Eve or even forty years to run and stabilize the empire.

And what about Liu Bang?

This year's Liu Bang is in his forties.

How long will he live?

Decade?

Or twenty years?

Thinking of this, Xiao He sighed.

He really didn't want his friend to die.

"King Han often said a sentence, willing to give, there must be gain, there must be sacrifice, life is short for decades, and how many perfect things can be encountered? Is there really anything perfect in this world? The most terrible thing about human beings is not desire, but endless desire, greed that does not know how to restrain it! ”

Liu Bang glanced at Xiao He and did not speak.

Now he has long lost the excitement of just meeting Xiao.

In his opinion, the current Xiao He has long been strangers to him, and the two have long lost the friendship of sharing the same bed.

"Pei Gong, I know your ambition, and I know the efforts you have made to this end, but now the world is focused on Han, in this regard, you have lost the opportunity, ambition is so, but you also have to consider for your brothers......," Xiao He said sincerely.

Liu Bang looked at Xiao He coldly, and said, "The brothers prefer to control their own destiny, since you have different aspirations from the brothers, then there is no need to say more......
