Chapter 290: Copying the knife and entering the gang

The distance was not very far, and he clearly saw that the jade chopsticks in Shen Yang's hand were directly pinched by him, and Mr. Uncle Sun's heart immediately had a bottom, and he hurriedly said: "King, this is also a well-known thing in the world, when we were in the prime minister, our Han King was the first to raise the banner of righteousness, and personally took down dozens of cities in the four counties of Huaisi, and the territory was even wider than now, and he could have established himself as a king long ago." ”

"But what did we do with the King of Han? One word, just one word! Mr. Shusun said in a clear voice: "Just one sentence, our Han King handed over dozens of cities in the four counties along with the army and horses to his uncle Wu Xinjun Xiang Lianggong, and let Wu Xinjun split his army and rebuild the Chu State on the territory he personally fell!" Dealing with such a holy gentleman as our Han King, what else do you have to worry about? ”

The stupid things that Xiang Kang did back then were indeed earth-shattering, and they left a deep impression on everyone in the world, and Shen Yang was of course no exception, although he did not nod and admit it in front of Sima Wei and Liu Laosan's envoys, he also showed some praise, and said secretly: "That's right, Xiang Kang'er's credit is not to be said, even if it is the enemy of this king, it is much stronger than many of the king's so-called allies." ”

In fact, Mr. Shusun also knows very well that it is difficult for him to persuade Shenyang to abandon Chu and return to Han, and there is almost no possibility, but for the sake of his own life, Mr. Shusun still exerts his eloquence to the extreme, and gushes endlessly: "King, the foreign minister should continue to be interrupted by Cheng Taifu just now, the king of Western Chu used to be far stronger than our king of Han, no one can deny this, but in the same way, no one can deny that the influence of the king of Western Chu on the princes of the world is not as good as it is all. There is absolutely no possibility of reassembling the forces that were as powerful as they were during the Great War of the Central Plains. ”

"This is the other, but the strength of our Han King is catching up, and he already has the capital to compete head-on with the King of Western Chu. King, don't think that the foreign ministers are being ashamed to boast for our Han King, the king, you have been friends with the king of Henan for many years, you should know his strength very well, please ask yourself, if it is the king of Western Chu who sends troops to attack the king of Henan, is it sure that in less than a month, almost all the main forces of the king of Henan will be wiped out, and the king of Henan will be forced to be trapped in a lonely city, and he will survive? ”

"The King of Western Chu can't do it, but our King Han has done it, doesn't this mean that the strength of our King Han has at least been able to keep pace with the King of Western Chu, or even surpass it......

"Your army of Han thieves relied on shameless trickery to win a few battles!"

Sima Wei's envoy Cheng Lian hurriedly interrupted Mr. Shusun again, but Mr. Shusun didn't think about it, and immediately asked, "Isn't the strategy strength?" If you King of Henan have this ability, why don't you win a few battles without counting? You can't beat our King Han, and you use lying and deception to coax King Han to send troops north to rescue you, who is more despicable and shameless in comparison? ”

"You're ......!"

Cheng Lian was so angry that he had the urge to stab Mr. Shusun to death with a sword, but after seeing Shen Yang's cold gaze, Cheng Lian, who was also a guest, could only quickly shut his mouth. Mr. Shusun struck while the iron was hot, and said quickly: "King, you must also understand the ideal, the strength of our Han King is enough to be with the King of Western Chu, and he never breaks his word, in this case, why do you want to continue to follow the King of Western Chu, who has no chance of winning, why don't you quickly abandon Chu and return to Han, and instead rely on our King Han, expand the territory after our King Han defeats the Queen of Western Chu, and keep rich forever?" ”

Mr. Shusun's words were obviously a little more serious, and Shen Yang immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, the king of Western Chu is as kind to this king as a mountain, how can this king do something ungrateful?" ”

Mr. Shusun deliberately sighed, and then said: "Since the king refuses to accept the kindness of our Han king and the foreign minister, the foreign minister will never dare to force it, and only ask the king to let the foreign minister loosen the ties, let the foreign minister go back and report to the Han king truthfully, and ask the Han king to decide this matter." ”

After that, Mr. Shusun shouted in his heart again: "Let go of the old man, if you continue to talk about it, the old man will be speechless, the two countries will fight, don't kill it!" ”

It's a pity that Mr. Shusun's acting skills this time are obviously a little too much, Shen Yang not only did not order Mr. Shusun, who is still tied up by five flowers, but also glanced at Mr. Shusun very strangely, and asked suspiciously: "Why does Mr. sigh?" ”

"Why do you have to ask such a trivial question?" Mr. Shusun muttered in his heart, but replied: "Of course, the foreign minister is regretting that the king is unwilling to accept the kindness of our Han king, and has no other intentions. My lord, if there is nothing else to do, can the minister take his leave? ”

Shen Yang has also come into contact with some lobbyists, and knows that lobbyists who eat by mouths sigh in person, and usually have more important things to say, so he said: "Mr. doesn't have to sell Guanzi, deliberately fish for the appetite of this king, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”

"The minister really doesn't mean anything else." Mr. Shusun shouted loudly and said: "The foreign minister is really just sorry for the king, the king, you should hurry up and let the foreign minister loosen the restraints and let the foreign minister go." ”

"Sir, why do you feel sorry for this king?" Shen Yang asked, and threatened: "If Mr. must fish for the appetite of this king, then Mr. don't think about leaving, give Mr. the big ding you have prepared, but it is already filled with water, and you can invite Mr. in at any time." ”

"You're so stupid! The old man is just pretending, what are you really doing?! ”

Mr. Shusun complained bitterly in his heart, but he had no choice but to continue to talk casually: "Since the king wants the foreign minister to say, then the foreign minister has the courage to speak out, the king, you just said that the king of Western Chu is as kind to you as a mountain, and the lower officials really don't understand, where is the king of Western Chu gracious to the king?" ”

"The king of Western Chu named the king of Han, isn't it as graceful as a mountain?" Shen Yang asked suspiciously.

"Your throne, the king, you took your subordinates to throw their heads and spill blood with a knife and a shot, and the king is a matter of course, what is there to thank the king of Xichu?"

Mr. Uncle Sun's rhetorical question made Shen Yang dumbfounded, and also made Shen Yang suddenly think of an important question, and said in his heart: "Yes, it is true that this king is the king of Han who is divided by Xiang Yu, but the throne of this king is also the king with his soldiers to fight one battle after another, and it is natural for him to be named king in terms of meritorious deeds, why should this king thank Xiang Yu?" ”

"And." Mr. Shusun said again: "Is the king of Western Chu very worthy of you, the king?" is also the hero who defeated the violent Qin army, why can you only be assigned to one county of Yingchuan, and why can Sima Wei, the king of Henan, get three counties of Sanchuan, Hanoi and Handan? Your contribution in the anti-Qin war, is it only 30% of Sima Wei's? ”

Originally, deep down in his heart, he felt that Xiang Yu's division was unfair, and when he heard Mr. Uncle Sun say this, Shen Yang's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and Mr. Uncle Sun said to Liu Laosan's envoy with He Yi, "In addition, the king, compared with your great merit in destroying Qin, what is Liu Ji's credit?" Why can he be divided into Nanyang County, which was almost not destroyed by the war, and why can you only be divided into Yingchuan County, which was devastated by the war? Yeongcheon-gun, which has less than half of the land area of Nanyang County? The king of Western Chu is so unfair, do you still want to thank him, the king? ”

Shen Yang finally nodded slowly, and for the first time revealed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu in front of Sui He and Cheng Lian, and Mr. Shusun added fuel and vinegar, and said: "King, the foreign minister still dares to assert that it will be the same in the future, even if you help the King of Western Chu defeat our King of Han, the King of Western Chu will definitely not give you any fair treatment, because the king of your territory is surrounded by the territory of the King of Western Chu and Liu Ji and Sima Wei on three sides, and the King of Western Chu will never repay you with his territory, let alone offend Liu Ji and Sima Wei for you, and allocate their territory to you, Dingtian is great to give you a piece of Guanzhong enclave, but more than a dozen princes are divided, how many enclaves can you get, king? Will you be able to make up for the losses you have suffered in the war, my lord? ”

Shen Yang's face was even more gloomy, and he also admitted in his heart that Mr. Shusun's words were very reasonable, but Mr. Shusun continued to talk nonsense, and said: "But if you abandon Chu and return to Han and help our Han King defeat the King of Western Chu, then the situation will be completely different. And Liu Ji in the south of you, our king has long hated him, and he will be destroyed, after destroying him, Nanyang County will also be allocated to the king's land, is it not a question of our king's words? And ......, and ....... ”

"What else? Please speak, sir. Shen Yang urged with some impatience.

"What else?" Mr. Shusun complained again in his heart, and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Also, the king, you are from the flawed hill, right?" There is a way that wealth does not return to the hometown, just like walking at night in brocade, don't you want to let your hometown flawed hills also become your territory, and go to the hometown people to have a look? If you are willing to abandon Chu and return to Han, the foreign ministers can promise for our Han king, and after defeating the king of Western Chu in the future, the entire Xue County, including your hometown of Bianqiu, will be allocated to the king as a land! ”

"Is that true, sir?" Shen Yang Daxi asked.

"Before the foreign ministers set off, our Han king once personally said to the foreign ministers, as long as the king can agree to rely on our Han king instead, except for the land and cities currently occupied by our Han army, other conditions can be discussed!"

Mr. Shusun immediately replied, and said: "If the king doesn't believe it, you can immediately send someone to ask us the king of Han in person, if the minister can't make the decision for him, promise to allocate Xue County to the king as a land, please set up another tripod, and cook the minister immediately!" ”

Shen Yang's face was even more happy, and Mr. Uncle Sun said with a smile: "King, if there is really such a day, please take care of the ancestor of the foreign minister, the ancestor of the foreign minister is not elsewhere, it is Xue County, which is about to become the king of your land." ”

"Sir, you are also from Xue County?" Shen Yang was surprised at first, and after seeing Mr. Uncle Sun nodding with a smile, Shen Yang immediately applauded and laughed, "No wonder this king has always felt that Mr. 's accent is kind, it turns out that Mr. is a fellow villager of this king, come on, loosen the tie for Mr. Uncle Sun, a fellow villager of this king!" ”

The guard sang a promise, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie Mr. Shusun, and Mr. Shusun also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was unlikely that he would be cooked to death by Shenyang today, who knew how to see that the situation was not good, and suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Slow down, the king!" Has the king forgotten that Xiang Kang's traitor has a close relationship with the Korean royal family, and the Korean royal family is bent on restoring the country in Korea, how can they allow the king to occupy the Korean land forever with the support of Xiang Kang's traitor? ”

Shen Yang was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and Mr. Uncle Sun hurriedly said: "Who said that the Korean royal family must be restored in Korea?" There are so many princes who follow the king of Western Chu, our king of Han casually destroys one or two, and the land and cities he takes are enough for the Korean royal family to restore the country, and the Korean royal family is not an unreasonable person, they see that the king of Han has made great contributions to the king of Han, and see that our king of Han compensates them with other land and cities, what reason do they have to fight to the death with the king of Han? ”

Shen Yang nodded again, but Mr. Uncle Sun was afraid that there would be some extraneous branches, so he hurriedly said: "King, the foreign minister thinks that you don't have to hesitate, if you continue to follow the king of Western Chu, you will definitely have to send troops to the north immediately, fight to the end with our Han king, and let others reap the benefits." But if you abandon Chu and return to Han, not only can you preserve your strength, but in the future, the king of Western Chu will launch a counterattack, and it will also be the first of our Han kings, and the king of Western Chu will not have any reason to attack you first. ”

"That's right! That's right! Xiang Yu Pifu will launch a counterattack in the future, and he will definitely hit Xiang Kang first, there is no reason to attack Yingchuan first, with Xiang Kang in front, this king can not only sit and reap the profits, but also have the opportunity to ride the wall and watch the wind, and the side will fall to that side if it is strong! ”

This thought flashed quickly in his heart, Shen Yang did not hesitate, first got up and untied Mr. Uncle Sun with his own hands, and then bowed to Mr. Uncle Sun, and said very sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Uncle Sun for your guidance, Xiao Wang is willing to abandon Chu and return to Han, swear to follow King Han to the death, under the command of King Han, crusade against Xiang Yu's rebellious ministers who rebelled against the king, and never betray!" ”

"Wouldn't it? Is it really done? Shen Yang really wants to abandon Chu and return to Han to join us? ”

Mr. Shusun was a little dumbfounded, but Shen Yang had already sworn to Mr. Shusun, of course, Mr. Shusun did not hesitate, and immediately returned the salute to Shen Yang, swearing that he would fulfill the promise he made to Shen Yang, Shen Yang was overjoyed, and he was busy leading Shen Yangjun to salute Mr. Shusun, and invited Mr. Shusun to sit down and enjoy the hospitality of wine and meat. Cheng Lian, Sima Wei's envoy over there, of course, had a face as pale as earth when he saw it, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but unfortunately Shenyang's guards immediately stopped him and shouted: "Stop, go there?" ”

It was still under the reminder of the guards that Shen Yang remembered that there were two spies present who would definitely tell Xiang Yu immediately, and he hurriedly ordered Cheng Lian and Sui He to be taken down together, and then said to Mr. Uncle Sun with great generosity: "Mr. Uncle Sun, it is up to you to decide how they fall, if Mr. is willing, this king will immediately let people put them in the Ding and cook them to death in front of you." ”

Hearing this, of course, Cheng Lian collapsed directly to the ground, although Sui He forced himself to calm down, but his heart was already desperate, but to Cheng Lian and Sui He's surprise, after Mr. Shusun glanced at them, he actually said to Shen Yang: "King, the two countries are fighting, don't kill the envoys, let's let them all go, although they all wanted to kill the foreign ministers before, but how could the foreign ministers let the king bear the unrighteous name of killing the envoy for their own personal vendetta?" ”

Still after finishing the high-sounding words, Mr. Shusun added in his stomach, "You can't kill the bad head of the messenger, Xiang Kang Xiao'er seems to have been addicted to forcing the old man to go to the enemy camp, if the old man takes the lead in killing the messenger, others will follow the same example in the future, and the old man's head will be dangerous." ”

"Sir is really a sage and gentleman." Shen Yang praised it, then waved his hand and ordered: "For the sake of Mr. Uncle Sun's face, let them all go, and let them go back to their lives." ”

Sui He and Cheng Lian, who escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief together, and then Sui He Gang wanted to thank Shen Yang and Mr. Uncle Sun, but Cheng Lian, who had never wanted to be paralyzed on the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed to the ground in front of Mr. Uncle Sun and knelt down, and said again and again: "Mr. Uncle Sun, the foreign minister deserves to die, the foreign minister is guilty, the foreign minister just wanted to kill you with his own hands, I never thought that you would repay virtue with resentment so much, and you would let the foreign minister live." The foreign minister was inexplicably ashamed, and was willing to surrender to the king of Han, go to the soup for the king of Han, repay the great kindness of the king of Han and Mr. Uncle Sun, please Mr. Uncle Sun must take it in! ”

After that, Cheng Lian also turned to Shenyang and nodded, and said: "The king forgives the sin, the sinner did deceive you before, what Mr. Uncle Sun said is the truth, the king of Henan was defeated outside the city of Henan, and the main force was almost lost. Sinners deceive the king, and ask the king to forgive. ”

"Sure enough, fortunately, I didn't fall for the evil of Sima Weifu." Shen Yang gasped, but in the end he waved his hand generously and said, "That's it, you are also doing what you are ordered, how can this king blame you?" But it's okay, with you as a testimony that Sima Weipifu deceived this king first, this king doesn't have to worry that people in the world will say behind my back that I don't miss the old feelings, and I have turned against Sima Weipifu. ”

Cheng Lian hurriedly thanked him, patted his chest and promised that he would let everyone in the world know that it was Sima Wei who deceived Shen Yang first, not Shen Yang's injustice to his old friend. Sui He over there sighed, and also stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you King Han for your life, and thank you Mr. Uncle Sun for repaying virtue with grievances, please rest assured that King Han and Mr. Uncle Sun will return to Nanyang, and the foreign ministers will truthfully report today's situation to King Nanyang, and ask King Nanyang to decide how to act in the future." ”

"You're welcome." Mr. Shusun was quite loyal to his duties, and said with a sneer: "Go back and tell Liu Ji, just say that if he likes to attack Wuguan, he can fight as much as he wants, but when he is fighting in Wuguan, don't forget that King Han will suddenly go south and stab him in the back." ”

Sui He Moran said secretly: "Who said that this old horseman can only pat on the back?" His words not only made Xiang Kang no longer have to worry about the rear of Guanzhong, but also made the king of Nanyang worry about his own back. ”

In this way, relying on the quick wit and incorruptible tongue that Mr. Shusun was forced out, Xiang Kang originally just wanted to temporarily stabilize the princes Shenyang, but he directly picked up the knife and joined the gang, openly abandoned Chu and returned to Han, and joined the queue to crusade against Xiang Yu. This is not counting, after careful discussion with Mr. Shusun, Shen Yang not only promised to protect Xiang Kang's rear for the Han army to contain Liu Laosan, but also sent the general Guo Wei to lead 10,000 troops to the north to help the Han army attack Sima Wei, and also wrote a letter to Sima Wei himself, persuading Sima Wei to take the initiative to open the city to surrender to the Han army as a friend, and also joined the queue to crusade against Xiang Yu.

Four days later, the Shenyang army general Guo Xuan and Mr. Shusun led the army over Fangshan, and arrived at the city of Wushi that was still controlled by the remnants of the Henan army, the defenders in the city also said that the reinforcements were coming, and quickly cheered to open the city gate to meet the Shenyang army, and the officers and soldiers of the Shenyang army of course did not hesitate to take down the defenders of the Henan army, forcing all the defenders of the Wushi to lay down their arms and surrender, and took the county seat of the very important position for the Han army.

Then, when the news reached Luoyang, Sima Wei and Xiang Kang were of course stunned together, and they also shouted in disbelief, "How is it possible?" How can it be? How could Shen Yang surrender to the Han thieves (us)? How could there be such a strange thing in the world? ”

"King, Wechen doesn't want any reward this time, I just ask you to promise Wechen one thing, don't let Wechen send to the enemy camp again!" This was the first sentence that Mr. Shusun said after reuniting with Xiang Kang, and it was also said with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Uncle Sun, no matter what reward you want, this king can give it to you, but if there are any important matters that need to be negotiated and contacted with the enemy in the future, please be sure to share more work for this king." This is Xiang Kang's answer with a smile, and it is also an answer that is extremely ungrateful, because everyone knows that Mr. Shusun is really unwilling to go to the enemy camp with his head tied to his belt.
