At least part of what Kuacher said was something that Han Xin didn't take into account, and if he hadn't had real materials, Han Xin wouldn't have been able to become his advisor.

Han Xin's biggest goal is to make what he has learned a stage to be able to become famous. Xiang Yu looked down on him, Liu Bang gave him a chance, and he seized the opportunity.

Kuaicher's analysis is very reasonable, Zhao Xie's sudden rise is a great challenge for him, just like Kuaicher said, if Zhao Xie had taken power earlier and shown the side of Mingjun, after Han Xin left Xiang Yu, it was Zhao Xie who went to defect to Zhao Xie instead of Liu Bang.

Han Xin said: "Mr. is reasonable, Zhao Xie and Li Zuoche are indeed not fuel-efficient lamps." However, the stronger the opponent and the more I win, the more I can prove my ability, which is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Kuaiche said: "The capture of Guanzhong, the letter to Guguan, and the attack on the Wei Dynasty and the two countries, you have made a lot of contributions, but in this series of battles, the opponent is not strong enough, and your general is not good enough." If you can defeat the two powerful opponents of Zhao and Chu, you can be considered truly famous, and when the history books record you, your status may be able to surpass Li Mu and Wu Qi. General, opportunities come with risks, good luck! ”

He assisted Han Xin, not Liu Bang, and usually looked at and analyzed problems from Han Xin's perspective.

The Ministry of War, Zhao Xie came here.

In the office of the Tai Lieutenant, he opened a drawing, which was drawn on a repeating crossbow, which was drawn according to the principle of Zhuge repeater, and was composed of several parts such as a frame, a crossbow bow, a crossbow string, an arrow box, a crossbow arrow, and a control rod.

The Zhuge repeater crossbow is large in size, which is difficult to use in offensive warfare and movement warfare, and needs to be used in defensive warfare and ambush warfare in order to play a real role.

The army's daily training, morale, weaponry, and commander-in-chief command ability are all factors that determine the outcome of a war. Zhao Xie wants to improve the Zhao army in all aspects and create the most powerful army.

The repeater is just one of these weapons, and more will be invented in the future.

"King, this repeater is really well designed, ten arrows are fired in a row, and the power is even greater. But the requirements are too high, and the craftsmen may not be able to make it! ”

Zhao Xie looked at the repeater, happy and helpless.

During the Warring States period, crossbows that could be fired continuously, but they could only fire three arrows in a row, and the range was only a dozen meters, so they could only be used for close defense, not on the battlefield. The repeater invented by Zhuge Liang in history is a major improvement over the repeater.

In order to have a more accurate understanding of the current situation of ordnance technology, the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War was called.

Zhao Xie asked: "Our armory, can we make this repeater?" ”

Qing Officials carefully read the drawings, shook his head, and said, "The skill level of the existing craftsmen cannot make this kind of repeater. ”

Zhao Xie was slightly disappointed, the Mo family has a lot of research in mechanics and machinery, maybe they have a way, only wait for the Mo family to come before they do it.

In the middle of winter, on the land of Yanzhao, heavy snow flies.

The capital of Yanguo, Jicheng.

Outside a mansion, two soldiers were guarding here.

"I want to see the general, may I ask if General Fan is in the mansion?"

It was He Xian who spoke.

This is the general's mansion in Jicheng, which is responsible for the garrison of the east city gate, and the guards at the gate are the general's personal soldiers.

The four gates of Jicheng each have a responsible general, and the generals are divided into two shifts to guard in turn, and they are jointly under the jurisdiction of the cronies of Zang Di, the king of Yan.

It is difficult for Zang Di's cronies to win over, and those generals who defend the city under his jurisdiction are the targets that He Yan wants to fight for.

When the Zhao army approached the city, as long as one gate of Jicheng was opened, allowing the Zhao army to enter the city quickly, the plan of a quick battle could be realized.

"Go, go, General Fan, did you see each other when you saw him?"

The soldier looked impatient, and he was rushing to leave.

"I'm a Confucian scholar, I want to see General Fan, please pass it on!"

As he spoke, He Yan took out the coins from the bag and gave them to the two soldiers.

After receiving the money, the attitude was immediately different.

A soldier said: "General Fan will not come back until the time, you will come back when the time comes!" ”

He Yan returned to the inn and waited, and when it was almost time, he came here again and successfully met the target person.

He used a false identity to fool the past, and used his eloquence to make General Fan willing to sit down and talk to him.

To find the internal response, of course, you can't directly state the purpose.

He Xian first gained General Fan's trust, and only when they met for the third time did he test General Fan's opinion of the previous Yan King Han Guang and the current Yan King Zang Di.

"My king is the overlord dividing the feud, Han Guang does not obey the overlord dividing the feud, and has been relying on Jicheng and not leaving, it is natural for my king to get rid of him."

General Fan was loyal to Zang Di, and it was almost impossible to fight for him, so He Yan did not come to him again after he took his leave.

He Xian tried to find a way to get another opportunity to meet and talk with another military general defending the city in Jicheng, and in the temptation, he was still loyal to Zang Di.

It wasn't until the third general that he finally found out that his heart for Zang Di was not so firm.

He Xian further probed and felt that there was a possibility of winning it over.

"Hey! It's all Xiang Yu, he is unevenly divided, the original Yan Wang, Zhao Wang's generals, were all crowned kings by him, the old Yan King was angry and refused to accept Xiang Yu's separation, which led to being killed. ”

This person's name is Zhong Liyang, who was originally a subordinate of Han Guang, the king of Yan, and he was loyal to Han Guang.

This time, it was the fifth time He Yan had met Zhong Liyang and gained the trust of the other party.

In the dark of night, there were only two people in the dim light of the room.

He explained: "If the current Yan King is loyal enough to him, he will never be poisoned!" ”

Zhong Liyang sighed and said: "Being crowned king by Xiang Yu, loyalty is no longer important!" ”

He explained: "The culprit is Xiang Yu, followed by ......"

Zhong Liyang said: "The second is the current Yan King!" Many people in Yandi hated both Xiang Yu and him. ”

He hated Xiang Yu and Zang Di, but he didn't usually show it.

He explained: "General Zhongli, have you ever thought about avenging your loyal Yan King? ”

Zhong Liyang sighed and said: "Most of Lao Yanwang's subordinates have been removed from their posts by Zang Di, and I am really powerless. ”

He Xian's words and expressions can win the possibility of the other party over, eight or nine are not far from ten.

He explained: "Maybe King Zhao can send troops north to avenge King Yan." ”

Zhong Liyang was stunned for a moment and said: "Zhao Guo may have this ability, but the family of the old Yan King was all killed by Zang Di, and he needs to be able to choose another person with prestige to be the Yan King." ”

Before the Han Dynasty, few people had the concept of unification, and in Zhong Liyang's eyes, after getting rid of Zang Di, it was natural to establish the king of Yan.

After the two talked for a while, Zhong Liyang became puzzled and said, "Brother He, why are you telling me this?" Can you contact the king of Zhao or an important minister of Zhao? ”

He explained: "Brother Zhongli is right, I also hate Xiang Yu and am unhappy for the old Yan King. If Brother Zhongli really wants to take revenge, I can contact Zhao Guo and send troops to get rid of Zang Di. However, it is impossible for King Zhao to help Yan Guo unconditionally, and he has to make him profitable. ”

He Yan had learned that Zhong Liyang had a strong desire for revenge, but he didn't want the Yan Kingdom to perish, so it was not appropriate to tell his true identity, let alone let the other party know that it was King Zhao who wanted to take the initiative to seize the Yan Kingdom.
