Chapter 740: Smug
Poor subordinate with fake Chen Qingyan on his back, he was already sweating profusely when he was tired, and he was scolded by Cui Shan in front, "Don't give me a little faster, delay the good things of Lord Ben, I only ask you, you can't drag a weak woman, what's the use of asking you?" ”
"Cui Shan, you are finally here, haha, this king is so happy. You're really my good subordinate! This time, the Flying Tigers in Henan will be wiped out by us. As soon as Xiang Yu saw Cui Shan enter the base camp, he helped him up before he could salute, and personally gave him a seat, which flattered Cui Shan, and Wang Mang on the side could only smile all the time and could not show the slightest resentment.
"King Xiang, you know everything?" Cui Shan sat under Xiang Yu's hand, drank the wine that Xiang Yu personally toasted him and asked.
"How could I not know about Cui Shan's deeds in the Khitan? Just one person said that the Khitan Emperor sent troops to the north and south of Henan, and I heard that he didn't even ask us about any benefits, so he sent troops north of Henan in a hurry, just saying that after the deed was completed, he would just ask for some military rations. Cui Shan, you can do it! King Xiang gave Cui Shan a thumbs up and praised.
Although the soldiers recently had a slight upper hand in the face of the Flying Tiger Army in Henan City, it was far from enough to succeed in completely attacking the city. Xiang Yu has not smiled for a long time without doing anything, and often makes his subordinates angry, this time Cui Shan's good news is enough to boost the morale of the entire soldiers. It's just that Cui Shan's high-flying and domineering expression after the incident was completed really made many people unhappy, and they all wanted to secretly make him bad.
Wang Mang came out at the right time, and said to Cui Shantao with a lovely smile: "Lord Cui, don't you know that King Xiang really applauded after he arrived here, but I don't know what Cui Shan said so that the Khitan Emperor could willingly send troops to the north and south of the river?" King Xiang has also sent a lot of people out before, but they all returned in vain, but you can do it as soon as you go, which is really remarkable. This question is because Wang Mang still has doubts in his heart that Cui Shan completed this matter so smoothly, he originally wanted to make Cui Shan ugly, but he didn't expect him to use this opportunity to show his talent in front of King Xiang, so that his position was in jeopardy.
Cui Shan knew what Wang Mang was thinking, wasn't he jealous that I had done it? Now that I have a king to support me, I am not afraid of anyone, let alone you? Cui Shanpi said with a smile: "Some people want to see others make a fool of themselves to prove how great they are, but he doesn't know that not everyone is as stupid as he imagined, talented people will naturally shine in the dark, and no one can resist it." This is also true for King Xiang. Lord Wang is actually very simple to convince the Khitan Emperor, a three-year-old child can convince him, really I don't lie to you, do you want me to teach you? ”
Seeing Cui Shan's arrogant face, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he knew that Cui Shan's words were deliberately said to himself. But because Xiang Yu was in front of them, he couldn't have a seizure in person, so he had to continue to laugh and say: "Master Cui is too modest, how can this lobbying kung fu be learned by a three-year-old child." Master Cui can speak well and speak skillfully, and we stupid people still have to learn more from Master Cui! ”
"Yes, Wang Mang, you really want to ask Cui Shan for advice in the future, but your recommendation is good, and you actually discovered such a talent as Cui Shan, this time because of his lobbying, it will be much easier for us to deal with the Henan Flying Tiger Army. Cui Shan, you can tell me how you did it, and this king is also very interested in this matter! ”
"In fact, I don't hide that King Xiang said that my subordinates were able to do this when they went to the Khitan this time, and it was also because I knew the highly respected national teacher Wuwei Taoist in the Khitan Dynasty, and he was able to persuade the Khitan Emperor to send troops with his help. I also have a subordinate named Abu, who is very capable, and if we didn't have him, we wouldn't be able to do the lobbying thing so quickly......" After that, Cui Shan added fuel to telling how he used his ingenuity to persuade the Khitan Emperor to send troops, so why Wuwei Daoist would help him, he lied and said that it was because he knew Wuwei Taoist when he was young and saved his life that he had this friendship, and he didn't say that he met at the inn.
"Hehe, this Wuwei Taoist is also very popular in Khitan, you still know such a person, it seems that this kind of scum still has his use, and we will rely on him to succeed in the future. In addition, Cui Shan, the subordinate Abu you mentioned is also a talent! Why don't you bring him with me? Xiang Yu didn't have any doubts about what Cui Shan said.
"The king, his subordinates were originally going to bring him here, but Tianyi Inn still needs someone to take care of it, so he escorted me back first."
"It seems that he is also a loyal person who does not seek fame and fortune! This king wants to reward him as the master of Tianyi Inn! Cui ShanAs for you, are you interested in staying and dealing with the Flying Tigers in Henan with us? It has been several months since the king attacked Henan City, and there is still no gain, but the king is saddened to death. ”
It's not good, King Xiang is going to promote Cui Shan, and his position will not be guaranteed at that time, Wang Mang thought in his heart that he had to find an opportunity to do Cui Shan.
Cui Shan heard the meaning of King Xiang's words, he naturally couldn't ask for it, this is the time for him to behave well, so that King Xiang can be impressed with him, so that he can have the opportunity to sit in the position of governor. So he thought for a while and said: "My subordinates thank King Xiang for his kindness, as long as King Xiang needs his subordinates, his subordinates will do their best to serve King Xiang." But King Xiang, what you said just now is wrong, it's not that our soldiers are afraid that their Flying Tiger Army won't be able to beat them, it's just that these people are really cunning, and they don't want to come out to fight with us at all, and they have been cowering inside and pretending to be dead. In this way, no matter how strong the team is, it can't capture the city so quickly, but the minister has learned some siege methods, and then he can discuss it with King Xiang to see if the method is feasible. ”
"Okay, Cui Shan, I didn't expect you to have learned the art of war, why didn't I discover a talent like you earlier, otherwise maybe Henan City would have been captured by us a long time ago. What you just analyzed is not wrong at all, we could have consumed the Flying Tiger Army alive in it, but I didn't expect that after such a long time, the Flying Tiger Army inside still didn't see a little yellow and thin skin, and I didn't know what they relied on to make a living on weekdays. The food of our soldiers can't keep up, and then we have to find some places to transport food, Cui Shan, do you know where near Henan can provide us with a lot of food? Xiang Yu asked Cui Shan for advice, and his appearance was very polite, which couldn't help but make Wang Mang feel jealous.
