Chapter 242: The Decision to Go (First Update)
The vast beachhead on the north shore of the water spreads out in an uphill shape in the direction of the East Gate of Wuzhong, forming a natural embankment. From the endless east gate to the rolling river, it is three or four miles wide.
At the beginning of spring, this is the place where the grass grows and the warbler flies. When midsummer comes, it is a happy place for shepherd boys, cows and sheep to have a tryst with boys and girls.
It's just that at this time, it is the time when the weather is warm and cold. At this moment, there is no end, compared to the Central Plains, there is still a trace of coldness, and when the wind rises in clothes, you will feel a trace of coolness.
It's just that on the embankment in this season, there are not many pedestrians, only a few people. Han Xin stood on the embankment with a deep gaze. At this moment, his mood is naturally extremely dissatisfied, and it can even be said that it is bad.
He went north to Liaodong for more than a year, but he was just a Lian Ao who managed grain and grass. is just a middle-level military attache in Liu Jijun, although he is one level older than Lang Zhong in Xiang Yujun.
But none of this is what he wants!
……
There were many people who followed Liu Ji north to the three counties of Liaodong, but among all of them, he had the greatest ambition, because he aimed at the highest goal, and he came for the highest military position in commanding the Liaodong Army, the general.
However, Liu Ji ignored him. Just one Lian Ao is not enough to give full play to his world-class talent. Standing on the embankment, Han Xin thought too much for a while.
Looking at the west, Han Xin's expression was a little complicated. He knew that his teacher, the Great Qin Empire's Taiwei Wei Xuan, was strategizing.
Qin II, who has changed his mind, must be a new man, and the Great Qin Empire is being reborn under the impetus of Wei Yi, Wang Ben and others.
And the three counties in Liaodong where he is still standing still. Sometimes he wonders if he is looking at the wrong person, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, is not a successful person at all.
"Teacher, don't I Han Xin have a chance to beat you in this life?" After being silent for a long time, Han Xin sighed faintly.
Since going north to the three counties of Liaodong, Han Xin has naturally taken active actions to show himself to Liu Ji. In the process, he got acquainted with Xiahou Ying, Xiao He and other senior officials in the three counties of Liaodong.
Because Xiahou Ying has a great relationship with Liu Ji, he belongs to the same township, the iron buddy on the Surabaya Pavilion, and the confidant minister since the army in Pei County.
Xiahou Ying's recommendation, Liu Ji is selling. So Han Xin jumped up and became the commander of the Liaodong Army, responsible for the logistics supply of the army.
In terms of official status, Han Xin at this moment is much higher than Lian Ao, which is equivalent to a general in other departments.
But for Hanshin, none of this was enough. He didn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, he wanted to show what he had learned in his chest, and finally fought with his teacher.
This is a celebrity, or Han Xin is the last real celebrity after the Warring States period.
Han Shin's pursuit has never changed, and that is outstanding feats, not unparalleled power. Because of this, it will end up in history.
Han Xin, who thinks highly of himself, does not wish to accumulate meritorious service in the army and be promoted step by step, and be rewarded with the official position of Juelu step by step.
For Han Xin, who is a great talent, such a promotion is too slow. The ancients said: There is a very human ability, and there are naturally extraordinary actions, he wants to soar into the sky, like the sun.
Han Xin thought that his talent was comparable to that of Jiang Taigong and Sun Wu. Therefore, he longed for Liu Ji to be the king of Zhou Wu or the king of Wu, and the Ming monarch and the strong ministers would never lose each other.
The eyes are like torches, flowing eastward along the water. Han Xin's eyes were complicated, he believed that Liu Ji was an imperial talent, and he saw that Liu Ji's army lacked a general to lead the army.
That's why he stayed for more than a year.
……
For Han Xin, who is extremely clear about the overall situation of the Central Plains, he has always understood. There are only three people who can finally stand out - Xiang Yu, Liu Ji, and Hu Hai.
Among the Chu army, Xiang Yu was the sharpest general of the unified army, and in the Qin army, Wang Ben, who was born to suppress Hangu Pass.
Although Han Xin is an extremely conceited person, he has to admit that in the face of Xiang Yu and Wang Ben, he has no bottom in his heart. The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Whether it is Xiang Yu or Wang Ben, they are all amazing talents who have been tested and proven by one war after another.
Because of this, Han Xin knew that there was only one way out for him, and that was the three counties of Liaodong. He hoped to be appreciated by Liu Ji with his talent and become the commander of the Liaodong Army.
The leader defeated Xiang Yu and Wang Ben, and the achievement was like Jiang Taigong's assistance to King Wu of Zhou to destroy Shang, and Sun Wu commanded Wu's army to defeat Chu.
However, after leaving Xiang Yu, he was promoted from Langzhong to Lian Ao, and with the recommendation of Xiahou Yuan, he served as the lieutenant of Zhili. It's just that in the post of Lieutenant Zhili Du, Han Xin was depressed, his sense of disappointment increased day by day, and he fell into a low point in his life.
Because at this time, because of his official position, Han Xin had contact with Xiao He, who was in charge of the administrative affairs of the entire three counties in Liaodong, and after several contacts, Xiao He decided to recommend Han Xin to Liu Ji.
He was full of hope for Xiao He's value and appreciation. After receiving the promise of Xiao He's recommendation, Han Xin has been waiting for the news of Liu Ji's summons.
However, I can't wait, I can't wait.
Looking at the rolling blue water, Han Xin knew that Xiao He must have recommended himself to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji had no intention of summoning and reusing himself.
Han Xin clearly knew that if even Xiao He's recommendation didn't work, then there would be no more hope.
His eyes flickered, and Han Xin was disappointed again. At this moment of disappointment, he completely understood a truth, it is better to rely on others than on himself.
"The chaos in the Central Plains is imminent, Xiang Yu's northward journey to Qi is a foregone conclusion, rather than waiting for no hope, it is better to find another way out!"
Retracting his gaze from the muddy river, Han Xin made a decision. He wants to return to his hometown Huaiyin and find another way out.
As soon as he figured this out, Han Xin didn't stop any longer, turned around and left the embankment, returned to the camp, sealed the seal of Captain Zhili, and wrote a farewell letter again and again.
said that it was a farewell letter, but in fact, there were only three lines of big characters: he met every day with a pot of turbid wine, and the rivers and lakes were far away to meet again, and Han Xin stayed ——。
In this letter, Han Xin did not indicate whether it was addressed to Xiahou Ying or Xiao He. In the Liaodong Army, he was familiar with only these two people, maybe both.
After packing up his clothes, Han Xin waited until night fell and the lights were on. It's not that he Han Xin can't share weal and woe, but that Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, doesn't have the wisdom to know people.
He didn't want to die in the army and accomplish nothing. In the turbulent times of changing storms, Han Xintou has his own dreams, and he has never really forgotten to get ahead.
The galloping horses, the long muddy water, and the vast barren grass beach, just like the Central Plains at this moment, are the wasteland of celebrities and scholars, and it is the opportunity to show what they have learned in their chests.
While running, Han Xin turned his head and glanced at it, which had become a large camp of the Liaodong Army as a black spot, and for a moment, there was bitterness in his heart.
