Chapter 440: Stepping into the Tiger's Mouth (First Update)
In this context, I don't know what Han Xin said to Yang Zi, but he actually let Yang Zi enter Xianyang Palace in person, and expressed his support for Han Xin to negotiate with the Xiongnu in front of Yinggao.
It is unknown how Han Xin's trick became Yinggao, but he can still see that his sister really wants Han Xin to go to the Huns, and even intentionally or unintentionally expressed that he also wants to go with Han Xin, so frightened that Yinggao quickly agreed to her request and put Yang Zi back.
Seeing Yang Zi leave victoriously, Yinggao couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, Han Xin, this guy, didn't expect that he was still very good at dealing with women......
But such a joke, think about it, Yinggao is naturally most concerned about the Huns that Han Xin went to, because he has already made an agreement with Xiang Yu, although he doesn't know whether it's true or not, but Xiang Yu also gave permission to Han Xin's going, so this matter must not be delayed for long, and within a day or two, Han Xin will set off.
So on the night of receiving Xiang Yu's reply, Yinggao summoned Han Xin to Xianyang Palace, this time, the two stayed in Yinggao's hall for more than an hour, until it was getting late, Han Xin returned to his mansion from Xianyang Palace with a solemn face.
"What has happened to my brother?"
Seeing that Han Xin did not have a relaxed look on his face after returning to the mansion, Yang Zi, who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, was also nervous in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
The reason why Yang Zi was able to go to Xianyang Palace to find Yinggao in person before, and expressed his agreement with Han Xin's position of going to the Xiongnu to negotiate with Xiang Yu was because Han Xin had said to Yang Zi with a rare serious look that he went to the Xiongnu for the benefit of Daqin, but in fact, it could reduce the hundreds of thousands of casualties of the people of Daqin and the Xiongnu, and Han Xin also showed that the level of the general is not to see how many enemy troops you kill, but to see how many people you can save through war.
It was Han Xin's feelings that moved Yang Zi, so she could only grit her teeth and forget that Han Xin may have suffered a crisis in the Xiongnu, and believed that Han Xin must have the ability to save the day, so she went to Xianyang Palace to show Yinggao her position of supporting Han Xin.
But after making a stand and returning to her own house, Yang Zi was almost immediately cowardly, of course she knew what kind of virtue the Huns were, so when something happened, her mood was extremely nervous.
"There has been no change, Xiang Yu's reply has arrived in Xianyang City, I am afraid that it is the Huns who will leave tomorrow, Mrs. Don't be anxious, today's Huns are not the previous Huns, but the Central Plains Xiang Yu alone, and when I was in Jiangdong, I still have a fate with Xiang Yu, plus the strength of my Daqin is far above the Huns, Xiang Yu will definitely not let the Huns he has just worked hard to build fall into a dire situation because he wants to kill me, so I go, I will definitely return to Xianyang safely! ”
Of course, Han Xin showed full confidence in front of Yang Zi, but these were obviously said to Yang Zi more than once before, so this time Yang Zi still had a sad face after listening to it, and it didn't play a role.
"Madam, since you became the prince of Great Qin, you know everything he has done, but when have you ever seen your lord suffer a big loss in something?"
Han Xin saw that Yangzi showed no signs of improvement, his eyes rolled, and he asked such a sentence.
Yang Zi looked at Han Xin, and then thought about it very seriously for a while, and then his eyes lit up, obviously, he really didn't find out that his brother had done anything to make himself or Daqin suffer after becoming the prince.
Even when the anti-Qin forces were so rampant before, his brother never suffered any losses when he went out with his sergeants, let alone let his generals die on the battlefield, it wasn't that Han Xin was fooling her here.
"In this way, this time you went to Xianyang Palace because my brother had some plan to secretly ask you?"
As soon as Yang Zi heard Han Xin's words before, an inexplicable confidence surged in his heart, not only from his husband Han Xin, but also from his brother who had been like a divine help since he didn't know when he would come to life.
"I can't mention this to you, but I don't know if this trip to the Huns will be successful or not, but I won't be in any danger."
Such authentic words made Yang Zi feel a lot more relieved, she decided not to put more pressure on Han believers, but went to the inner room alone, to pack Han Xin's bags for the Xiongnu this time, Yang Zi knew that since she was going to negotiate, she would definitely not be able to wear armor, so she had to let her husband not fall into the prestige of Great Qin from the image......
This night, obviously, no matter what the situation, was a sleepless night for Han Xin and Yang Zi, so the next morning, although Han Xin was also in good spirits, a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that this guy should not have slept much last night.
For Han Xin to go to the Xiongnu this time, Ying Gao also took great pains, he knew that since you took the initiative to negotiate with Xiang Yu, then you definitely couldn't have to go with a large team of guards, this in itself was a way to express hostility to Xiang Yu, this mistake Ying Gao and Han Xin would definitely not make.
But if Han Xin is allowed to go alone, Yinggao really has no bottom in his heart, after all, the territory of the Xiongnu is crisscrossed by large and small tribes, even if Xiang Yu doesn't want to kill you in the Xiongnu royal court, but after the news leaks, if there is a tribe that hates the Great Qin people so much and wants to ambush you, it will be enough.
Therefore, after Ying Gao weighed left and right, the team of his wife Tian Yan and the Zhu family who had been protecting Xianyang Palace in the shadows, with only more than 200 guards, borrowed ten of the most powerful guys, and gave them a death order, even if all ten of them could not come back, Han Xin had to be protected intact to Shangjun.
In the end, after Yinggao personally sent them to the gate of Xianyang City, Han Xin and his party of eleven people rode their horses to Shangjun, and after resting in Shangjun, they would go directly to the royal court of the Xiongnu.
A few days later, in the court of the Huns, Xiang Yu got the news that he deliberately arranged a tribe not far from Shangjun, and a group of more than a dozen people rode out of the Great Wall Pass of Shangjun, and came in the direction of the Hun court, and they could reach the Hun court within two days.
"It seems that after my letter arrived in Xianyang City, this Han Xin set off from Xianyang City, otherwise it would not have arrived in Shangjun so quickly, it seems that this time, Daqin is indeed a little sincere......"
In front of his cronies, Xiang Yu expressed his interpretation of the news.
"Your Majesty, that Han Xin is a very important general of Great Qin, I heard that there is a faint possibility of replacing Meng Tian's brother Meng Yi to become the next lieutenant of Great Qin, if I wait for him to be killed in the territory of this Xiongnu, let alone a tribe of people secretly killing ......"
In this way, Long He, who had almost always had no good impression of Daqin, had already said it once when he first knew about it, and now that Han Xin was really here, he couldn't help but say it again, obviously, he really thought that this was a great opportunity to kill Han Xin.
"If you put forward this again, there will be no place for you in the court of the Huns!"
Long He never expected that he originally thought that this was a pretty good proposal, but it provoked Xiang Yu to say this, but Xiang Yu was in his heart, it was a god-like existence, and he definitely didn't believe that if he was replaced by any other person, he could do Xiang Yu like this with 10,000 remnants of the defeated army.
Although Xiang Yu, the Huns, is a little unpleasant in the eyes of the Central Plains people, but not to mention anything else, now Xiang Yu's core henchmen are still the Central Plains people he originally brought, but even so, the leaders of the various Hun tribes are still serving Xiang Yu, which is powerful in the hearts of the dragon and them, and they can't admire it.
was reprimanded by Xiang Yu, Long He immediately didn't dare to speak out, since Zhang Liang ran away, and then the news of his death came from Xianyang City, and then less than a year later, after Fan Zeng also settled in the ground, Xiang Yu's words have obviously become less than before, except in front of Yu Ji, it is rare to see Xiang Yu's smile.
In the eyes of the generals under their command, this performance is more like the performance of a king, although they still can't change their words, and often call Xiang Yu a young general, but in their hearts, the word 'less' has long been removed by them.
After scolding Long Ji, no one dared to say anything anymore, at this time Xiang Yu called out the Yuzi period, which is quite stable on weekdays, and took a team of people to take Han Xin to the Xiongnu royal court.
This is obviously Xiang Yu expressing his goodwill to Han Xin, for Han Xin, Xiang Yu is still very curious, he wants to see what the young man who followed him every day, led the horse and said some tactics that he seemed to be a fantasy, what has become now.
Looking at Han Xin, in Xiang Yu's opinion, it was one of the big mistakes he had done over the years, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was really bold at the beginning, listened to Han Xin's words, and then did what he said, but obviously, nothing would happen now.
Today's Han Xin, although he is just a general in the court of Xianyang Palace, but Xiang Yu of course knows his age and potential, and Xiang Yu has secretly thought when looking back on the past before, the most powerful person who has emerged in this era is probably Yinggao, Han Xin and himself.
The age is similar, and the ability has its own merits, but obviously Yinggao has a better foundation, although there is no force, but it is definitely stronger than him and Han Xin in terms of wisdom, and he has lost to Yinggao several times, he does not feel wronged in his heart, but there is a feeling that he was born at the wrong time.
Around noon the next day, Yu Ziqi took Han Xin to the royal court of the Huns, and what caught Han Xin's eyes was a team of cavalry with not many people, but with distinct armor, sharp weapons, and fierce mounts, which was completely different from the Hun cavalry in Han Xin's impression before.
Their armor had been strengthened many times, and their weapons were no longer the shoddy objects of the Huns before, and to Han Xin's surprise, the stirrups that were almost identical to their cavalry had appeared on the feet of every Hun cavalry he saw.
In a battle with such a cavalry, if there is no surprise tactic, it can almost only be a life-for-life battle, and both sides will lose.
This is the conclusion that Han Xin came to after walking around the court of the Huns, so that he had not seen Xiang Yu, let alone said what Yinggao asked him to say, but Han Xin felt that his trip to the Huns should definitely be very worthwhile, of course, it had to be if he could go back safely.
"General, Shan Yu has prepared a banquet for the general in the big tent, and if you want to come to the general for this hard work, please come and enjoy it after taking a bath."
Yu Ziqi pointed to a big tent in front of him, obviously this was for Han Xin to prepare for rest, and then pointed to a camp tent not far away that was much taller than the others, obviously, it was very likely that it was the place where Xiang Yu held a court similar to Daqin on weekdays.
At least so far, Han Xin has not found that Xiang Yu has an unfavorable tendency for himself, he believes that with Xiang Yu's temperament, if he wants his own life, he should not spend so much effort, and he will directly give himself the result in the middle of the road.
So Han Xin shook his head, let himself try not to think about this, walked into the big tent that Xiang Yu had arranged for himself, bathed comfortably with the warm water that had been prepared in the tent a long time ago, and then slowly walked in the direction of the big tent according to the time that Yu Ziqi said.
On the way, Han Xin and Yu Ziqi got along well, he knew that Yu Ziqi was originally a nobleman in Dangjun, because his sister had just come to Xiang Yu's side, and through the side questioning, Han Xin knew a detail about Xiang Yu, that is, Xiang Yu attached great importance to Yu Ziqi's sister and Xiang Yu's only wife.
How much Yinggao values his wife, all the officials in the Great Qin Dynasty know it, but in this case, Yinggao is still forced to marry another lady under pressure, and Xiang Yu, although the territory of the Xiongnu is full of exotic beauty that has a fatal attraction to the Central Plains, but Xiang Yu still only has one wife, Yu Ji.
What does this mean, is this woman the reason why Xiang Yu is reluctant to start a war with Daqin, these possibilities have appeared in Han Xin's head, and he is also ready to learn as much about this information as possible in this meeting with Xiang Yu.
