Chapter 413: Han Xin Vanchu Wants to Be King
Naturally, no one objected to Lu Yan's suggestion, so Liu Bang issued an edict on the same day, hoping that Peng Yue, Yingbu and others would lead the army to come, although Peng Yue was not a prince, but he had soldiers, so he still had to invite him.
Yingbu has Lu Yan here, the original chief of the guard is now the king of Jiujiang, how can he not send troops to come, Peng Yue saw Yingbu sending troops, but he didn't dare to have reservations, and replied to Liu Bang that he was willing to send troops.
After Liu Bang arranged everything, he was ready to fight Chu, but Han Xin did not return to Hanzhong for a long time, this matter was more embarrassing, in Liu Bang's opinion, Han Xin was his own general, at least he had to be a little conscious, Yan Zhaoqi and other places were peaceful, and if he appeased the people a little, he could go to Xingyang to help Han, so he couldn't stay like this, which made Liu Bang a little bored.
In the palace of the Han King of Chenggao, Liu Bang had to summon Lu Yan to inquire about it, and in the hall, Liu Bang personally gave the seat to prepare tea, "Master Hou, Peng Yue and Yingbu have sent troops today, and Han Xin is the only one who can't see him, what should I do?" There was a bit of helplessness between the words.
Lu Yan took a sip of warm tea, "Han Xin has just pacified the Qi State, only the Chu State is left, and if you want to personally plot against the Chu State, why don't you write a letter and send it to order it to retreat, if not, then do something else." ”
Liu Bang bowed slightly, "What Hou Ye said is true, but Han Xin is talented, but his heart is difficult to be subservient to others, and he will be chaotic in the future, I am really worried." ”
Lu Yan was beside him, slightly surprised, it turned out that Liu Bang had already concealed it from Han Xin, Lu Yan immediately bowed down and bowed down when he saw this: "Brother rest assured, the minister is in one day, and the tautology will never go against his brother, if his brother does not believe it, Ziyu is willing to go to Qi in person, take back Han Xin's military power, lead the Han army alone, and attack Chu State." ”
Compared with Han Xin, Liu Bang still trusts Lu Yan very much, and when he saw Lu Yan kneeling, he hurriedly helped him up, "Hou Ye didn't make trouble in the Qin Dynasty, so I naturally believe what Hou Ye said." ”
The two discussed and decided, so they sent someone to write a silk book, sent it to Qi State, and handed it to Han Xin, Han Xin in the royal capital had nothing to do all day, and his heart was just worried about the strong style of Qi people, and he suddenly heard that Liu Bang had a silk book to be issued, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Immediately saluted and took the silk book, opened the edict to read, the book said: "Han Wang Zhao, I use the general, get two-thirds of the world's homeland, now the overlord is weak, and the kidnapping of my father, contrary to human feelings, so that my father and son can not see each other for many days, I am in chaos, I want to join the army, and I will fight, a duel, but hold each other for a long time, the Han army is sleepy and lacking, if it is to compete with it, it is difficult to win, it is not the danger of the two potentials, how to achieve the perfect strategy, so send someone Xingchi to summon the general back. ”
"Today, Peng Yue and Yingbu all want to send troops, the only general stays in Qidi, I know that the people of Qi are difficult to solve, but the Chu country is flourishing, and it is stronger than Qi, and the Han two troubles are chosen to be great, and the general has broken Zhao with his back, and the plot defeats Chu, if the general comes, and cooperates to break Chu, he can win in one fell swoop, and the world is safe, and I will wait for the general in Xingyang for a long time, and I hope to come soon."
After reading it, Han Xin was overjoyed, and he also felt that the world could be determined, and when the time came, he could be crowned the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and return to Linzi to write a book and speak, which can be regarded as a success.
On that day, Han Xin reorganized his troops and prepared to return to Chenggao, but it happened that Kuaitong was still in the camp at this time, and when he saw that the three armies were neat, he wanted to send troops, so he hurriedly came to Han Xin's camp.
Seeing this, Han Xin couldn't help frowning a little, and said with some displeasure: "Why is Mr. so rude?" Why did I want to send troops to my camp? ”
Kuaitong said very directly: "Why is the general so desperate to send troops, why is this opportunity lost?" The general can send people to return to Chenggao with the envoy, get the seal of the king of Qi, and then send troops to attack Chu, which is being coerced and taken, if the army leads the army in the future, I am afraid it is rare to get this big reward. ”
When Han Xin heard this, he secretly pondered to himself, Qi land is 100 miles, the people are rich and rich, if I am crowned king at this time, wouldn't it be beautiful, it's a big deal that the king of Han will set the world in the future, and I will no longer want to be rewarded.
So, Han Xin followed Kuaitong's advice and invited the envoy into the account, but the envoy was also at a loss, ready to go with the army, but he didn't expect to be called by Han Xin again.
Immediately, he asked with some doubts: "The general didn't send troops to attack Chu State at the moment, why did he summon me here, could it be something important?" ”
Han Xin bowed slightly: "The people of Qi are cunning today, and the people are fierce and capricious, if you want to suppress the Qi country, you need to fake the seal of the king of Qi It is not feasible, and then it is not too late to raise the army and conquer Chu, now I have a silk letter, I want to send someone to Chenggao with the envoy, what does the envoy think?" ”
The envoy was beside him, didn't he know what Han Xin meant, didn't he just want to be crowned king because of this? At present, he is in Qidi, and he can just agree, anyway, the silk book is just Han Xin's messenger, and he should inherit it now.
When Han Xin learned of his intentions, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his entourage to go to Chenggao with the envoy.
Not long ago, Han Xin's soldiers and horses did not arrive, but there were only envoys and generals in their entourage, Liu Bang immediately brought people to the palace, and asked very unpleasantly: "Where are the soldiers today?" Why just the two of you? ”
The attendant immediately bowed his head and said, "The general did not send troops, but sent a silk letter to the king, and asked the king to see it." ”
The left and right immediately presented it, and its book said: "Han Xin, the general of the Han Dynasty, bowed his head suddenly, the army is unreasonable, the country has no owner, it cannot be established, and the people have no trade-offs, how can it be subdued?" The minister relied on the power of the sky, slashed the dragon and in Weishui, even broke more than 70 cities in Qi, although the military power was in the town, but the people's hearts were undecided, so they called the people of Qi cunning, capricious, the ministers were afraid of leaving with the troops, and the people of Qi were in chaos, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”
"Because of this, the minister invited the king of Qi to seal, temporarily for the fake king of Qi to town the people of Qi, to wait for the people's hearts to be stable, immediately lead the army to attack Chu, do not dare to slacken, then the territory is not worried, the world is the land of the Han Dynasty, if there is no law, the people of Qi are in turmoil, it is too late, the minister did not dare to decide, so he sent a letter to the king of Han, please decide, the general Han Xin bowed again!"
After Liu Bang read it, he was furious in his heart, and immediately threw the silk book aside, and scolded: "This erector dares to deceive me like this!" "I want to destroy Chu, I have been trapped here for a long time, and I hope that Han Xin will come to save me, but I want to establish myself as the king!"
Seeing this, Zhang Liang and Lu Yan immediately stepped forward to put the silk book in place and retreated from the ministers, "Brother, don't be angry, Ziyu doesn't know how to say this, now I can only listen to him." ”
Zhang Liang next to him also said: "Although the king has a few places in Chu, but now Chu Tun has a wide range of soldiers, when Pengcheng is finished recuperating and resting, he will definitely attack the Han, the king is unfavorable, can he be the king for a long time?" If you take this opportunity, let it go, and protect each other's love, Han Xin can still be used by the king, if he is not crowned king, the world will be divided into three parts, and there will be no harm and no benefit. ”
Liu Bang also nodded, but he still scolded: "This vertical son deceived me too much, so he wanted to coerce me, cut the land of the king, and wanted to come to the big husband to subdue the princes and gallop the world, that is, the real king, how could the fake king fool me!" It's really not as good as a villain! ”
