Chapter 357: Betrayal and Loyalty
Speaking of Yingbu, I have to mention one person, this person was the third diplomat under Liu Bang at that time, which shows how much Liu Bang attaches importance to diplomacy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This diplomat is just that! Sui He Ke is not easy-going at all, and the very important reason why Yingbu surrendered to Han is that he fell into Sui He's trap. He was ordered to come to Huainan, and it had been three days, and Yingbu refused to meet him. Sui He said to the official in charge of the reception: "Is it because the King of Jiujiang is reluctant to receive me because the Han army is weak now and the Chu army is strong?" If it is for this reason, I am here to talk about this matter, and if I don't listen to what I say, the king of Jiujiang will pull me into the street and cut me down at any time, so as to set the record straight, so as to avoid that someone will come to the envoy for the king of Han in the future! When Yingbu heard this, he agreed to meet Sui He to see what Sui He would say. Curiosity kills the cat, poor Yingbu, and just falls into the trap of Sui He! With He Qiao's tongue, he saw Yingbu and said: "Xiang Yu relies on fierce combat to show his strength. How about now? He confronted the King of Han in the Xingyang area, and no one fought with him if he wanted to, and he couldn't attack if he wanted to. Relying on some old and weak soldiers to transport grain and grass from thousands of miles away, how long can he maintain this 'strength'? Take a step back and say, even if he defeats the king of Han this time, everyone in the world will be in danger, won't he settle old scores with you? The inevitable trend can only be that the princes of the world unite against him. No matter how strong Xiang Yu is, he probably can't resist the army of the world, right? So I think that Xiang Yu just seems to be strong, but he is actually very fragile, and the real strong is the King of Han. If you unite with the King of Han, the King of Han will definitely give you a large piece of land in the future, so why should you rely on Xiang Yu to look at his face? ”
These words touched Yingbu's heart, and he agreed to have a secret relationship with Liu Bang.
At this time, an envoy from the Chu army arrived in Huainan, severely rebuked Yingbu, and urged him to send troops to attack the Han army as soon as possible. Sui He broke into the hall where the envoy of the Chu army lived, sat down in a big way, and said: "The king of Jiujiang has already attached himself to the king of Han, what kind of soldiers are you sending?" Yingbu was stunned. The envoy of the Chu army hurriedly stood up and ran away. Sui He said: "The matter has been leaked, what are you keeping him for?" Yingbu had no choice but to kill the envoy of the Chu army and openly betrayed Xiang Yu.
From the handling of this matter, Yingbu obviously made a mistake, leaving one at the mercy of He.
Soon, Long Ji's army came to Huainan, and Yingbu and Easy-going discussed countermeasures. Easy-going is just a diplomat, and he is obviously a layman for marching and fighting, but his goal is very clear, that is, Yingbu and Xiang Yu have a complete falling out, and it is better to fight you to the death! So he offered a plan and said: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth!" Since Long He is here, let's fight him, not to mention that Long Ji's ranking in the Chu army is far inferior to yours, can you be afraid of him? In terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, he is just your subordinate! Fight with him! ”
Yingbu still knows a lot about Longhe, and in terms of resourcefulness, Yingbu thinks that he is more than two points higher than Longhe, but in terms of martial arts, Yingbu has always been curious, what is Longji's kung fu? Why is Xiang Yu so heavy? Why does Xiang Yu always keep the dragon by his side? Is there something unique about dragons? Yingbu has always been curious about this question, and although he has seen dragons and used force on the battlefield, he has never had a chance to observe his kung fu closely. This time, since it's a head-to-head showdown, let's try it, and there are some questions that you always need to know the answer to be at ease.
So Yingbu led a well-trained Jiujiang army of about 80,000 people to face Long and head on in Huainan.
When the two armies face each other, they still have to turn over politely in a routine manner.
Long Ji spoke first: "General Ying, King of Jiujiang, big brother!" I call you big brother, King Xiang asked me to ask you, you were originally a prisoner, building a mausoleum for the Qin State; Xiang Wang respects you as a hero, killed your enemy Zhao Chang for you, rescued you from death row, and became a friend of life and death with you, why did you betray King Xiang?! ”
Yingbu thought of Xiang Yu's past, and also felt that he was at a loss. At this time, Sui He replied on the side: "I'm bah! What you said is selfish, Xiang Yu has committed a taboo in the world, killing and surrendering soldiers, slaughtering the city, plotting to kill King Huai, and dividing the seal unfairly! Liu Bang, the king of Han, is also King Xiang's sworn brother and friend of life and death, but for the sake of the righteousness of the world, King Han also rebelled against King Xiang! The king of Jiujiang is just following the general trend of the world! ”
The dragon shouted violently, glared at Sui He and roared, "Shut up! You villain! I want the King of Jiujiang and General Yingbu to answer me personally! ”
