Chapter 216: Goodbye Han Shin
In 205 BC, Liu Bang attacked Pengcheng, with the aim of defeating Xiang Yu in one fell swoop and picking up his family by the way. However, when Liu Bang arrived in Pengcheng, he was tempted by gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women, and completely left his wife and children behind. Later, Xiang Yu's army raided, and Liu Bang fled in a hurry. In the process of fleeing, his wife Lu Pheasant and his old father were unfortunately captured by Xiang Yu and escorted to Pengcheng and taken hostage.
At that time, Li Tangshan and Panli were also in Xiang Yu's army outside Pengcheng, and when they heard that Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying were caught by Xiang Yu's subordinates, Li Tangshan was so frightened that he couldn't give up. had to let Xiang Yu's subordinates show mercy, and Xiang Yu saw that his benefactor opened his mouth to intercede, so he had to agree that he would not harm Lu Pheasant.
Li Tangshan learned from Lu Pheasant that in the process of fleeing, Liu Bang did not hesitate to kick his two biological flesh and blood with Lu Pheasant out of the car for the sake of his own life.
Fortunately, Xiahou Ying couldn't bear it, loyally protected the Lord, and hugged Lu Pheasant's child into the car several times, Liu Bang was very angry about this, and wanted to kill Xiahou Ying more than a dozen times along the way, but fortunately, he was able to escape in the end, and Lu Pheasant's two children were sent to Fengyi. Once again reduced to a prisoner of the order, Lu Pheasant was indescribably familiar with this feeling. But what can she do? Only Liu Bang, who pinned his hopes on her unkindness, this time the house arrest was two years and four months, and Li Tangshan had to return to Lingnan, although Li Tangshan repeatedly said that Xiang Yu would not do anything to her? Lu Pheasant also knew in his heart that what Li Tangshan said was the truth, but the only person he could rely on in his heart was leaving him again, so he could only blame himself for choosing Liu Bang in the first place, not the young and immature boy in front of him.
Although Li Tangshan had to return to Lingnan first, he still owed Xiang Yu a big favor for Liu Bang's escape and abandonment of Lu Pheasant and Liu Taigong. Although Xiang Yu is still very righteous and angry, the answer will not be embarrassing for Empress Lu and Liu Taigong, but Li Tangshan has always been unhappy. Back then, he entrusted his beloved woman to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang didn't know how to cherish it, he was a scumbag, and Liu Bang was a scumbag among scum.
Xingyang is in Zhengzhou City, the capital of today's Henan Province, Li Tangshan looked a little tired from hurrying overnight, looking at the gorgeous morning glow in the east in the early morning, his heart was refreshed, and the air was filled with a light veil-like mist. The earth awoke comfortably from its slumber. Wake up with the splendid flowers grinning, the joyful birds chirping loudly, the rushing rivers of the carnival and the trees shaking gently with their heads full of dewdrops; The streets and alleys, which had been empty and silent all night, began to appear again and again; In the distant wilderness, there was a faint curling smoke of cooking. , which makes people forget that they are still in wartime.
Xingyang City was not far in front, Li Tangshan was thinking about whether to find Zhang Liang first, or go directly to Liu Bang, Li Tangshan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Brother Tangshan, why are you here?" A tall general with martial arts walked briskly from a distance.
Li Tangshan turned around, and the person who came was Taiwei Han Xin, who left a very deep impression on Li Tangshan. Historically, Han Xin was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, when he was a commoner, he was poor and had no foothold, and often went to other people's homes to eat and drink, and people hated him. Eventually, many teenagers in Huaiyin, his hometown, insulted him. He said to him, "You are tall and have a sword, but you are a man of no courage. He also said, "Han Xin, if you dare to kill me, you will stab me with your sword." If you don't dare, just get under my crotch. ”
"Then the king, do you think you can beat King Xiang in the four aspects of 'bravery, fierceness, benevolence, and strength'?"
For Han Xinzhi's question, Liu Bang seemed a little angry, but he still spit out five words from between his teeth: "It's better to be outnumbered......
In the face of such insults. Han Xin looked at the young man for a long time, and then he suddenly fell down and got under the young man's crotch.
People on the street laughed at Han Shin and thought he was a timid person. In the face of such insults and provocations, although Han Xin had a sword on his body, he did not draw his sword to kill the person who insulted him.
It is precisely because Han has great ambitions and is unwilling to dwell on such a trivial matter. As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. No one will always be unlucky, and Han Xin, who is despised and ridiculed, has finally ushered in the spring of his career.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, peasants all over the country rose up one after another. At this time, Han Xin, who was already quite responsible, resolutely joined the army with a sword and plunged into the vigorous revolutionary cause.
It's just unfortunate that Han Xin is a military wizard, but he can't get reused, so he can only keep jumping ship, first cast Xiang Liang "unknown", and was finally discovered by Xiang Yu, and was worshiped as Lang Zhong (close staff officer), but he couldn't get reused, so he decided to turn his back on Chu and join Han, and after coming to Liu Bang, he still couldn't get reused, so he gave him a job for diplomatic reception, and as a result, he accidentally made himself almost "sit on the law and be killed".
Fortunately, before the head hit the ground, he shouted: If you don't want it, you will be in the world? What is a strong man? ("Hanshu Han Xin Biography") Liu Bang's buddy Xiahou Ying felt that this person was not simple after hearing it, and after the exchange, he affirmed his talent even more, so he recommended him to Liu Bang. It's just that this time Liu Bang didn't take it seriously, and arranged an official for him to hang him aside.
I don't know how Xiao He found this thousand-mile horse, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon, and under his strong recommendation, Liu Bang finally appointed him as a general. After talking, I found out that this is really a talent! There is a feeling of hating each other.
What made Li Tangshan admire Han Xin even more was that when he met Liu Bang, Liu Bang also held a ceremony to worship the general, and the 50-year-old Liu Bang took the hand of the 25-year-old Han Xin, hurriedly sat down, and said: "The prime minister counts the general, how can the general teach the widow to strategize"? At that time, Cao Shen Fan Xu, Zhou Bo Guanying and others were also listed on the left and right, waiting to see where this Han Xin was sacred.
From Han Xin's point of view, he must be grateful to Liu Bang for giving the position first and then interviewing, but the pressure is also the same, because once he can't do what Liu Bang wants, he will never be able to think about it again in the future, and even his own little life can never be expected to be kept.
However, after all, Han Xin is also a unique figure in the past and present, a generation of Tianjiao, he is confident that he can make Liu Bang fall, so he is also calm, and on the basis of Liu Bang's question, he came to a rhetorical question: "The king, you are bent on the eastward crusade, you must be going to compete with King Xiang, right?"
Liu Bang didn't have time to think about it, and replied: "Yes"!
