Han Baohu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "I don't help each other in this matter, there are many people with grievances in the world, and if I interfere in everything, it is impossible to take care of it." Wang Shiji is known for his ruthlessness, but after all, he is a general of the imperial court, and it is impossible for the emperor to kill him after this big victory, and you yourself don't plan to sue the emperor, how can I help you? ”

Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice: "Then since General Han refuses to help me, what's the use of telling me this?" Do you want to persuade me to let go of my hatred and not to offend Wang Shiji? ”

Han Baohu shook his head: "That's not it, such a big revenge, if you don't repay it, you will be a man in vain, besides, I don't like Wang Shiji either, this time he also cheated me, so when he was in Xinting, I didn't bother to save him, it was a warning to him that he missed the appointment first."

But I have been in the same dynasty with him for decades, and I have the credit for destroying Chen this time, and I will not turn my face around. I just want to advise you not to provoke the generals of the imperial court when your strength is insufficient, it will not be good for you. You are talented, if you don't come out this time, there will always be opportunities in the future, but if you are too obsessed and rushed, it will only harm others. ”

Wang Huaqiang suddenly felt a little strange, this Han Baohu did not hesitate to frame 300 lives in order to rob the gold and silver treasures of Chen's treasury, how could such a person suddenly change his sex and become a good person?

The recent changes have made him completely no longer believe in the beauty of human nature, and he can't judge Han Baohu's motives, so he bowed his head and was speechless, but he didn't speak.

Han Baohu smiled: "Are you wondering, why do I want to tell you these things?" In your eyes, I, Han Baohu, am just a villain who is greedy for merit, money, selfishness, and cruelty, isn't it? ”

Wang Huaqiang did not speak, but silence is better than sound at this time. His silence has been indicated.

Han Baohu sighed and said: "No wonder you think so, Wang Huaqiang, although you are extremely smart and rich, but after all, you have never stayed in the court, I don't know the sinister above, I don't know if you have heard of Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, that is, the ancestor of your good friend Wang Xuan's family." ”

Wang Huaqiang reacted suddenly, when the Qin State destroyed Chu, when the King of Qin asked how many soldiers the generals could use, the veteran Wang Jian said that it must be 600,000, and the young general Li Xin (this person is also the ancestor of the famous Longxi Li family, among the later generations of celebrities is the Han Shifei general Li Guang, and the current Tang Guogong Li Yuan is also his descendant, and the same super family with five surnames and seven wangs) said that as long as he brings 200,000 troops, he can destroy Chu.

As a result, the king of Qin was very happy, and laughed at Wang Jian on the spot for his lack of courage and vigor, but he did not expect that Li Xin was young and vigorous, and fell into the plan of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu (the father of the overlord Xiang Yu), and almost all the army was wiped out.

As a last resort, the King of Qin had to go back to Wang Jian and give him 600,000 troops, at that time almost all the entire army of Qin was in the hands of Wang Qian, and Wang Jian in order to dispel the doubts of the King of Qin about his heavy army, he kept asking the King of Qin for land and fields before the expedition, and the people on the left and right did not understand this, but Wang Jian said, only in this way is greedy for small wealth to defile himself, the King of Qin will believe that I Wang Jian is not interested in power, and this will rest assured that I am in charge of the army.

Sure enough, after the king of Qin knew Wang Qian's request, he laughed and complied with everything, and he did not interfere with Wang Qian's command after that, and Wang Jian really destroyed Chu after a bitter battle. Later, when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Xiao He was also greedy for money and self-defilement, and he also took the initiative to send his nephews to serve in Liu Bang's army to appease Liu Bang's heart.

Wang Huaqiang thought of this and laughed: "General Han, this example is not very appropriate, the Great Sui destroyed Chen, a total of three road armies, you and General He are just the two major commanders in the army of the first road, and it is not like Wang Jian who holds the country's heavy troops, although you are the first to destroy Chen this time, it will not make the emperor so jealous, and you need to be greedy for money and defile yourself." ”

Han Baohu shook his head: "You take these things too simply. General He and I have been in charge of the local area for many years, he used to be in Wuzhou, I was in Luzhou, and now although the Chen State is destroyed, but with the three hundred years of the Southern Dynasty, it is impossible to be conquered so lightly, and there will be continuous rebellions in the future.

The emperor will not let us continue to take charge of the army like this, who has made contributions in this battle and has been in charge of the army for many years, and I Han Baohu also knows that I am not an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and I have no chance to enter the general, so the best way is to let the emperor think that I have no ambitions and just want to be a rich man, so that it is the first choice to advance and retreat, and it is the first choice to protect the heirs of the family. ”

Wang Huaqiang heard this theory for the first time, compared with his own sharpened head to fight for an official position, this Han Baohu was able to take the initiative to give up an important position as a senior official, which really made him a little unacceptable, and he opened his mouth wide for a while, unable to speak.

Han Baohu smiled: "As a soldier, this battle can be recorded in history forever, in fact, I have no regrets." What I am doing now is to reassure the emperor, and secondly, to accumulate wealth for future generations. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart suddenly moved, his eyes flashed green, and he smiled at Han Baohu: "General Han, this time I really convinced you, I am afraid that your torrent retreat is not for the emperor, the emperor is not the kind of person who hides all the birds, what you really want to avoid is probably the struggle for the throne between the princes." ”

Han Baohu's face changed greatly, and even his voice trembled a little: "Wang Huaqiang, why do you think like this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang knew that he must have said what was on his mind, so that the calm and wise Han Baohu was so out of shape, and he was even more determined in his thoughts, he smiled: "The commander of the Southern Expedition is not the crown prince Yang Yong, but the king of Jin Yang Guang, this is to show the world clearly, the emperor is not satisfied with the prince, and even has some suspicions, this time His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have made meritorious contributions in the Southern Expedition, and they will definitely have thoughts about the position of the East Palace in the future."

And Gao Xi and Gao Servant have always been the most powerful supporters and allies of the crown prince, and he will never allow this kind of thing to happen, so the demise of the Chen State will make my Great Sui lose foreign enemies, and the battle for the prince will be the main theme in the court for many years to come. General Han, you are a major general, you will definitely face a problem of how to choose, and you also chose to quit because of this. ”

Han Baohu was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "Wang Huaqiang, I still underestimate you." I didn't expect you to be able to guess even these, it's really not simple, my nephew Li Jing is not inferior to you in the art of war, and may even be slightly stronger than you, but when it comes to insight into human nature and judging the current situation, it is far inferior to you. ”

Wang Huaqiang felt proud in his heart, and bowed his hand and said, "General Han has won the award." It's just that there is something unclear below, if you want to be greedy for money and defile yourself, let those Xiaoguo soldiers carry money with you, why do you need to lead them to adulterous palace maids and commit capital crimes? Isn't that too ruthless, and it's unnecessary? ”

Han Baohu shook his head: "I just want to break them away and reward them with a lot of wine, these people are drunk and bold, and they go to rape the palace maids of the Chen Dynasty, this is not my intention." I can get that money for my Han family, and I will need to buy land and property in Guanzhong and Jiangnan in the future, and I will need to buy a family business, and I will share it with these Xiaoguo, I am really reluctant. ”

Wang Huaqiang said softly: "Manager Han wants to die for this money?" What is the difference between hurting heaven and reason like this and Wang Shiji, who is not afraid of retribution in the future? ”

Han Baohu sank his face and said: "Wang Huaqiang, let me say it again, I didn't let them rape and adulterate the palace maids, nor did I mean to harm them, I just let them guard the outside, and by the way, I gave them some wine to drink, I can't just let my people inside, but let them stand guard in the cold weather outside, and don't give any benefits, as for these drunks who can't control themselves, I can't blame them."

After this battle, I will be disarmed and returned to the field after I return to the city, and then my pro-soldiers will need to buy land and settle down, Wang Huaqiang, it is the hundreds of Guanzhong brothers you brought this time, this time the battle is dead, you also have to consider what happened after their deaths, but you can just make a one-time payment, and these people will be compensated by the court, and these pro-soldiers of mine, I have to manage their whole family for a lifetime, no money is not good. ”
