Chapter 441: Zhong Liwu killed himself with hatred

Compared with Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu is more miserable, first of all, he is only a fierce general under the overlord of Western Chu, and secondly, he has taken refuge in the person who should not be taken refuge in, this person is Han Xin.

This matter has to start with Han Xinfeng King, Lu Yan and Zhang Liang plotted to change Han Xin to the King of Chu, and everyone has no dispute about this, even Liu Bang also thinks it is appropriate.

However, when Liu Bang issued a wanted warrant to pursue Zhong Liwu and Ji Bu, he learned from the local government that Zhong Liwu was in Chu State, and he was protected by Han Xin, so no one dared to touch half of his cold hair.

At this time, Liu Bang also began to gradually pay attention to Zhong Lifu's matter, and he was still in Chu State with Han Xin, so Liu Bang couldn't help but think about it.

Although the state of Chu has been fighting continuously in the past few years, it is a vast land and rich in resources after all, and it has been restored for a year and a half, and it is almost the same as that of Qi, so Chen Ping was summoned to discuss the matter.

Although Chen Ping's current status is not high, but the siege of Baishan Mountain last time was relieved thanks to Chen Ping, so he trusted Chen Ping more and more, and Xiao He was busy with government affairs, Zhang Liang and Lu Yan were almost in a semi-secluded state.

In the Weiyang Palace, Chen Ping came to the palace, and when he saw Liu Bang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen sees Your Majesty, I don't know if it is appropriate to come to Weichen this time?" ”

After Liu Bang gave the seat to prepare tea, his face was slightly calm, "Now the country of Chu is big, Zhong Liwu is still in the country of Chu, and Han Xin is also from the country of Chu, I feel that the two of them are worried, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

When Chen Ping heard Liu Bang say this, he knew in his heart that he must have suspected that Han Xin had signs of rebellion, and Han Xin had an arrogant personality, Chen Ping had long been prejudiced against him, and Chen Ping was still haunted by Lu Yan's matter at the beginning, although he only sacrificed Li Sheng, but now that he thinks about it, King Pingnan will also be solved.

Now that Liu Bang wants to sanction Han Xin, Chen Ping naturally agreed with both hands, and said matter-of-factly: "What Your Majesty said is good, but there are many elite soldiers in Chudi, Your Majesty must not easily bring up this matter, otherwise it will be a fight." ”

"Qing Yan is yes, the matter of the Huns has just subsided, and it is not appropriate to make a big move, but how can Han Xin be subdued like this, if he knows my intentions, wouldn't he be self-reflexing." Liu Bang said worriedly.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, now that the Quartet is stable, Your Majesty can travel, so that the princes of the Quartet will inevitably receive it, so that they can be captured and escorted to Chang'an, and there will be no trouble." Chen Ping said slowly.

Liu Bang also felt reasonable, so he followed Chen Ping's strategy to tour the world, and then captured Han Xin, and Han Xin had been in Chu for a long time, and suddenly heard that Liu Bang was coming to travel, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.

Then he summoned Chu Xiang to ask, the emperor parade, and the princes received the gift, but Chu Xiang was very flustered, "The king doesn't know, it seems that the emperor is paraded, but he wants to capture the king." ”

Han Xin was very dazed when he heard this, "I have made great contributions to the country, and I obeyed Your Majesty's arrangement and lived in Chudi, what reason does Your Majesty have to capture me, wouldn't it provoke the world to curse Your Majesty for being ruthless." ”

Chu Xiang hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty kills people, you don't need a reason at all, when Qi was prosperous, the king led troops in the king's capital, Your Majesty was worried that the king was anti-Han, so he sent the king to Chu, but although Chu was in turmoil, now it has become stable, and this place is very wide, with a radius of nearly a thousand miles, how can there be no doubt?" ”

"And Your Majesty has found out that Zhong Liwu is in the Chu State, Your Majesty has been looking forward to the king handing over Zhong Liwu in Chang'an, I never thought that the king would be so indifferent, how can Your Majesty tolerate this kind of thing!"

After listening to Chu Xiang's remarks, Han Xin hesitated slightly, pondered for a long time, and then asked helplessly: "Chu Xiang is the most prestigious person in the local area, can you give Han Xin a guide or two?" ”

"The old man thinks that the king is the pride of the sky, and he is not weaker than the king of Han at all, why do you have to be subservient to others now, anyway, the king of Han can't tolerate the king now, why don't you take advantage of Liu Bang's parade this time to capture and kill him." Chu Xiang said very decisively.

"Chu is different, tautology can't be reversed, if I fail at that time, just stop, if I am aggressive, the king of Chang'an Pingnan will definitely not be able to do it, and please ask Chu Xiang to think of another way." Han Xin said helplessly.

Chu Xiang was beside him, and nodded a little helplessly, "The Marquis of Pingnan is lenient, but His Majesty is old and tactful, and it is very likely that he will not see the old feelings, and the king is thoughtful." ”

"But if you don't rebel now, you can only show loyalty, and take advantage of Liu Bang's visit to Chu, the king can take off Zhong Li's head and hand it over to the emperor of the Han family, or you can avoid this matter." Chu Xiang said very indifferently.

"But Zhong Liwu and I are also close friends, although they were enemies at the beginning, but now they are friends, how can I do it." Han Xin held the teacup and said with a sigh.

"The king also please think deeply, there are trade-offs in everything, the king is unwilling to rebel and affect the king of Pingnan, now there is only a table of loyalty, kill Zhong Lifu, there must be a choice between the two." Chu Xiang said very seriously.

In the end, Han Xin still decided to hand over Zhong Liwu to Liu Bang, and in the backyard of the Chu Palace, Zhong Liwu didn't know the reason at all, and when he heard that Han Xin was coming, he immediately hurried to receive him.

After the two finished the ceremony, Zhong Li's face was quite grateful, "Recently, the emperor of the Han family wants to capture Yu Mou, thanks to the protection of his brother, he has today, but I don't know why the king is here now?" ”

When Han Xin heard this, he couldn't help frowning a little, "General Zhong, I'm afraid Han Xin won't be able to protect you, Your Majesty will travel here tomorrow, suspecting that Tautology is conspiring with Gong to seize the world of the Han family. ”

Zhong Liwu was beside him, and his face immediately became angry, "Okay, you Han Xin, I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful thing, when you were in Chuying, except for Fan Zeng and me, who else protected you everywhere, today you are desperate, but you said such ruthless and unrighteous words, you are really blind." ”

"General Zhong, listen to my explanation, there are some things that I can't decide, and this is a last resort." Han Xin said hurriedly.

However, Zhong Liwu didn't look at Han Xin's face at all, and said more angrily: "You don't want to tell me more, now that a certain person is in the Chu State, it is the reason why Liu Bang does not dare to come to capture you, if a certain person dies, it will be difficult for you to live alone!" ”

Without waiting for Han Xin's reaction, who knew that Zhong Liwu actually pulled out his sword directly and wiped it towards his neck, and as the blood flowed out, Chu Jiang Zhong Liwu's life began to gradually disappear.

Seeing this, Han Xin sighed, "General Zhong, don't blame me, this is the will of heaven, I hope that the general's head can keep me safe." With that, he ordered someone to take off Zhong Liwu's head and put it in a box.

Around the next day, Liu Bang really rushed to the capital of Yingdi, Han Xin personally came out to greet him, Chen Ping accompanied the king, saw Han Xin out of the ranks, and immediately said forward: "Han Xin, King of Chu, do you know what Your Majesty is coming to say?" ”

As soon as Chen Ping's voice fell, the soldiers on the left and right directly surrounded Han Xin in the middle, Han Xin held the box, and when he saw the Han army like this, he was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to have any resistance.
