Chapter 244: Warriors of the Kingdom (Third Update)
Liu Jijun, who was trapped in the three counties of Liaodong, was suffering from an unprecedented wave of flights, and the soldiers and followers from the Kanto region had already begun to flee.
The southerners are not satisfied with the water and soil in the north, and when they really feel the barrenness of the three counties in Liaodong, they miss their relatives even more.
As a result, not only the soldiers, but even the generals and colonels began to flee.
Liu Ji is clear about this phenomenon. It's just that he understands that even if he interferes in this matter, it can't change the effect.
Rather than be chaotic, it is better to let it go. Liu Ji knew in his heart that only the last one left was the one who could work together with him to open up a new world.
The reason why Liu Ji let it go, in addition to the above reasons, is more important because his core has not moved. As long as there are enough troops, the army can be recruited in a hurry.
β¦β¦
It's just that Xiao He left in a hurry, and this news came, which made Liu Ji's heart flutter all of a sudden, as if he had lost his left and right hands.
He knew in his heart that the current political affairs of the three counties of Liaodong were all pressed on Xiao He alone. If Xiao He fled, the three counties of Liaodong would almost be equivalent to defeat.
β¦β¦
Suddenly, Liu Ji rushed up in anger, and waved his left hand: "Cao Shen, quickly dispatch a knight and immediately chase Mr. Xiao He back along the avenue!" β
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Cao Shen strode away. He knew in his heart what Xiao He meant to the three counties of Liaodong, so he naturally rushed out in a hurry.
Two days later, in front of the gate of the palace, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and Liu Ji and the others stood up in unison.
They were all veterans of the army who had been in a hundred battles, and from the momentum of the horses' hooves, they knew that the comers were elites.
"Herod'ββ!"
At this time, Xiao He arrived. For a moment, the four of them looked at each other, and each of them had a complicated look on their faces.
"Where did Zuo Xiang go?" Cao Shen's expression behind Liu Ji changed slightly, and he was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates will go and chase down Han Xin, the commander of Lidu!" With a touch of solemnity in his eyes, Xiao He bowed deeply and hurriedly explained.
When Liu Ji heard this, he was angry, and scolded loudly: "The ghost believes nonsense, the generals who fled in the army, there are no less than dozens of people, you don't chase them." You go after Han Xin, don't you clearly treat Lao Tzu as a fool! β
At this moment, Xiao He said calmly and resolutely: "Those generals, how many do you want, as for Han Xin, it is a national warrior." β
"If the king wants to be the king of Liaodong for a long time, he doesn't have to use Han Xin. However, if the king wants to fight for the world, except for Han Xin, no one can discuss this important matter, it depends on how you decide, the king! β
Hearing this, Liu Ji suddenly became arrogant. couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Of course Lone wants to enter the Central Plains and dominate the world, and I don't want to be trapped in the three counties of Liaodong." By this time, the tone had tended to be calm.
β¦β¦
Xiao He continued: "Please make a decision, if you are determined to fight for the world, you will use Han Xin, and Han Xin will stay." If he can't enable Han Xin, he will leave after all! β
Liu Ji knew Xiao He too well and knew that he was serious. These words at this moment must be the result of his careful consideration, and he thought about it a little: "For your sake, Lone appointed Han Xin as a general!" β
At this moment, Xiao He said that it was fake if he was not moved. It's just that his purpose is never here, so he paused word by word and said: "If the king wants to dominate the world, Han Xin can't!" β
"Without Han Xin, no one can compete with the Tongwu Hou Wang Ben of the Great Qin Empire, and no one can compete with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu."
"If you want to annex the Central Plains and achieve hegemony, you have to be Han Xin as the commander, Han Xin was appointed as a general, and he still won't stay!"
Xiao He knew Han Xin's pride and talent too well, and he knew that Han Xin, who had decided to flee, was desperate for Liu Ji.
At this time, the only feasible way is to use the position of general to show the importance of the king of Liaodong to Han Xin and the determination of the three counties of Liaodong.
Xiao He had a hunch in his heart that Han Xin was a commanding talent who stood alone in the world. Now Han Xin appears in Liaodong, which can be described as a treasure specially given by God.
The hope of leading the Liaodong army out of the current predicament is in Han Xin's body nine times out of ten.
Especially looking at the Liaodong army, there are many brave generals like Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying. But there is no one who can command the army and can confront Wang Ben and Xiang Yu.
He believes that Han Xin is such a talent who can fill the gap, and if Han Xin joins, the unfavorable situation of Liaodong Kingdom will probably be fundamentally improved.
Moreover, during the time that Xiao He and Han Xin were familiar with each other, he further listened to Han Xin's views on Xiang Yu and Huhai, as well as the methods of transforming the strength and weakness of Liaodong and Chu Qin.
Xiao He was even more convinced of his vision and experience, and he concluded that Han Xin, the only Han Xin, was the commander who could lead Liu Jijun out of the predicament.
The countryman is unparalleled, this is Xiao He's evaluation of Han Xin!
β¦β¦
After a moment of silence, Xiao He: "Back then, Qin Xiaogong worshiped Wei Ying as the head of the left, and opened the government to govern the government, which was equivalent to the second monarch, so that the Great Qin Empire rose." β
Hearing this, Liu Ji was silent and lowered his head. But he quickly raised his head again and said decisively: "Gu appointed Han Xin as a generalββ! β
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shaken. The position of a general, control the army of a country. Such a heavy position is indeed comparable to Shang Ying's left concubine.
Xiao He was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly got up to salute, and said, "Your Majesty is glad for the king, rejoicing!" β
After taking a deep look at Xiao He, Liu Ji was sure that Xiao He was not joking, so he paused word by word and said: "Summoning Han Xin, Lone immediately worships him as a general!" β
Shaking his head, Xiao He: "The king has always been arrogant and rude, and now worshipping the general is like greeting a child, which is also one of the reasons why Han Xin wants to leave." β
"If the king is really determined to worship Han Xin as a general, please choose an auspicious day, bathe and fast, set up an altar, and have a thorough etiquette, so that you can do it!"
Most of them agreed to Xiao He, and at this time, Liu Ji didn't mind this more, and waved his hand: "Okay, Lone agreed!" β
β¦β¦
After Xiao He left, only Liu Ji and Cao Shen were left in the entire hall. After being silent for a long time, Liu Ji stared at Cao Shen for a moment, and said, "Cao Shen, if Gu appoints Han Xin as a general, will you obey?" β
"Serve!" There was silence for a long time before Cao Shen spoke.
Speaking from the heart, Cao Shen was naturally unconvinced. He was born and died, and he started fighting for Liu Ji from Pei County to this day, but he was preempted by Han Xin.
I have been thinking about the position of a general for a long time, and I was forcibly cut off, let alone Cao Shen, even Confucius would be furious.
It's just that at this moment, Liu Ji personally asked. Even if he was not convinced, he was embarrassed, so he could only grit his teeth and persuade him.
