Chapter 426: Contact Han Xin
The king of Hanzhong sent an envoy to Qi to seal the king, and Fan Yafu conspired to win over Han Xin!
Faced with Lu Juan's question, Liu Bang could only hold silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info At this point, he didn't know what to do, because no matter what his statement was, it seemed that he would be in trouble. If he is in favor of sending troops, he is killing each other; But if he agrees with Lu Juan's questioning, the plan will be in vainγγγγγγ
Just when Liu Bang was at a loss, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping came to his barracks. Due to Zhang Liang's special identity, no one stepped forward to stop him, and there was no need to communicate at all.
When everyone saw Zhang Liang coming, they hurriedly saluted, and when Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang, it was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly greeted him.
"O ovary! It's great that you're here! Take a look at Han Shin's recital, and then listen to everyone's opinions! β
Seeing that Liu Bang was a little anxious, Zhang Liang was stunned at first. And when he knew everything, he immediately understood Liu Bang's concerns and laughed casually.
"King Han, in fact, this matter is probably the most difficult thing in the world to distinguish. Because whatever our guess is, it's just a guess, and that guess can be disproved by another guess. So I advise you not to bother with this brain. β
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, everyone was confused. And after Zhang Liang saw everyone's expressions, he explained himself.
"Lord Lu's suspicions are very reasonable. But it is possible for this man's heart to become eventually. Just imagine, although the country of Naqi has no strength now, it has a thriving population and sufficient grain production. Once you have it in your hands, and manage it well. I'm afraid that there are few people in the world who can compete with it. Therefore, if Han Xin wants to be self-reliant, he will naturally choose a good place, otherwise after standing on his own, won't he become a broken drum and have to be beaten by others? ! Moreover, although his strength is not good now, he is kind to King Zhao, so once there is any crisis, I believe that Zhao will definitely reinforce him. And don't forget that Han Xin used a mixed army to attack Qi this time, which means that he still has some sergeants left in Zhao State unused. These sergeants should be the elite of his Han army, so those who want to move him Han Xin must be weighed. β
Hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, everyone nodded slightly and remained silent. After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Juan asked extremely puzzled: "Then what do you mean, King Han, don't you also think that Han Xin has the heart to be self-reliant?!" Don't you have faith in him? β
Hearing Lu Xuan's question, Zhang Liang immediately waved his hand. After seeing the other party's doubts about his actions, he replied in a deep voice: "What this king said just now is just to confirm that speculation can be overturned. As for whether Han Shin really has the heart of self-reliance, please forgive this king for not being able to discern. However, there is one thing that the king can be sure of, and that is that whether he is self-reliant or not, we will agree to his request. β
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that Zhang Liang wanted to meet Han Xin's request. Especially Fan Xu, only after Zhang Liang's voice fell, he raised objections.
"No! If Han Xin really has the heart to stand on his own, of course he should be eradicated as soon as possible! If he is allowed to grow bigger, I am afraid that he will be more difficult to deal with than Xiang Yu! β
Fan Xu's opinion was supported by several generals with troops, and after listening to it, Zhang Liang still replied with a smile: "Brother Fan Xu, we might as well consider it from both positive and negative aspects. If Han Xin didn't have the heart to stand on his own, then he simply wanted to consolidate the governance of the Han army against the Qi Kingdom. It's a small possibility, but it can't be completely wiped out. According to the current situation, the national strength of the Qi State is empty, and there are enemies on both sides, so it really needs a person who can lead the troops to resist the enemy. Looking at the Han army, do you think there is anyone else who can do it except him Han Xin?! β
Faced with Zhang Liang's rhetorical question, Fan Xu was speechless. Although he was still unwilling to compromise with Han Xin, he had to admit that Han Xin was indeed the only person suitable to govern the Qi country at this time.
Seeing that Fan Xu did not refute his remarks, Zhang Liang immediately knew that his words had an effect. Just when Fan Xu was still awkward, he continued: "Now, let's think about the worst outcome, that is, Han Xin does have the heart to be self-reliant. If that is the case, then we should fulfill him. Because anything else is fatal to us! Han Xin had already occupied the Qi State at this moment, and his series of actions had won the hearts of the Qi people, so he was now an actual ruler without a royal title! Once we move troops, we will undoubtedly cut off our arms, which will not only harm ourselves, but also very likely to allow Xiang Yu to take advantage of the situation. And the most terrible thing is to force Han Xin to become the second Tian Guang, if by then, we will lose a powerful combat power and at the same time have a terrible enemy!! Of course, we can also ignore it and keep delaying Han Xin, but it will become a big trouble in the long run! And if Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng knew about this and then lured Han Xin, then we would still lose him, and the situation would be even worse. β
Zhang Liang's words were like a thunderclap, which made everyone present wake up like a dream. And Liu Bang immediately relieved himself after listening to Zhang Liang's words. Although his expression was still solemn, he was excited that the plan could continue.
"What the ovary says is very true! Now our biggest enemy is Xiang Yu. Therefore, whether Han Shin really intends to stand on his own feet or not, this king must fight for him! Because only in this way can we hope to defeat Xiang Yu!! β
Hearing that Liu Bang had decided to meet Han Xin's request, everyone stopped talking. Although Fan Hao was still a little dissatisfied, he finally agreed with Zhang Liang's conclusion and respected Liu Bang's decision, so he had to accept this fact reluctantly.
After Liu Bang saw that everyone no longer raised objections, he immediately ordered Han Xin to be crowned the king of Qi in public, and appointed him to handle the affairs of Qi with full authority. But when he had finished announcing the king's command, he had a headache over who to send the command.
At this time, the Han army had accepted the fact that Han Xin was crowned king, but this did not mean that they recognized Han Xin. In the face of such a situation, anyone who goes to pass on his life may mess things up, but if he finds a random person, it is very likely that Fan Zeng will see some clues, so Liu Bang is very difficult in the matter of candidates.
Just when Liu Bang was trying to choose the right candidate in his mind, Chen Ping suddenly stood up. At this time, he seemed very calm, as if he had been waiting for this errand in the morning.
"King Han, since Zai Xia is a Korean guest, and Korea and Han Wang are of the same origin, then Zai Xia can naturally be counted as a subordinate of King Han. In the past, he was committed to Xiang Yu with Han Xin, and he also had some friendship. It's better to leave this work of passing on the order to the next. β
Hearing that Chen Ping was willing to go, Liu Bang was overjoyed. Because the other party not only knows the overall plan of this discord, but also is good at words, the most important thing is that he is resourceful and can help Han Xin complete this discordant plan, so Liu Bang is 10,000 at ease with him.
"Since Mr. Chen is willing to go, this king is relieved. Then please go now, so that you don't have too many dreams at night. β
Chen Ping saw that Liu Bang had entrusted him with the heavy responsibility, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and after receiving Liu Bang's handwritten documents, he immediately came out of the big tent, and then went to Qi without stoppingγγγγγγ

The news of the defeat of Qi soon reached the ears of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, and Long Ji's defeated army also returned to Pengcheng at this time.
In the face of the defeated Long Ji, Xiang Yu did not show anger and unwillingness. In the face of Long Ji's plea, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng only briefly inquired about the process of the battle, and then comforted Long He with good words, and then ordered him to go down to rest first.
Long He saw that Xiang Yu had never blamed himself, and he was very grateful. And when he heard that Xiang Yu let him go down to rest first, he quickly withdrew from the main hall.
"Father, now Han Xin has occupied the Qi Kingdom. However, the strength has been greatly damaged, in fact, we can take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Qi country, and I believe that we can succeed in the first battle. β
Hearing that Xiang Yu had the intention to attack, Fan Zeng immediately objected. And in order to persuade Xiang Yu to give up this idea, Fan Zeng casually explained: "Yu'er, although the Qi State does look weak now, it is only a superficial phenomenon. Long Jishi said that Han Xin's attacking army was a mixture of the Han army and the Zhao army, and there were only 50,000, which also shows that he Han Xin left some elite Han troops in the Zhao State. At this moment, I am afraid that these sergeants have returned to Han Xin's hands, and these troops are likely to cause us great losses. In addition, Han Xin has already won the hearts of the people, and he is not that Tian Guang, even if we use troops against him now, I believe that we will not be able to completely destroy him, but will force him back to Liu Bang's place, if we want to win him over at that time, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. β
After listening to Fan Zeng's analysis, Xiang Yu understood the truth. And Fan Zeng saw that Xiang Yu had accepted his analysis, so he continued to say in a deep voice: "Actually, the old man has already received a tip, saying that Han Xin seems to have sent a message to Liu Bang, although the old man has never seen the content with his own eyes, but if the old man guessed correctly, the content should be Han Xin's request to be crowned king." β
Knowing that Han Xin asked Liu Bang to be crowned king, Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. After thinking about the whole thing slightly, he casually asked Fan Zeng: "Father, if this Han Xin really asks Liu Bang for the throne, it will undoubtedly expose his self-reliance. If that's the case, should we take this opportunity to woo him?! β
Xiang Yu's words won Fan Zeng's heart, but he was still extremely careful about this matter. On the one hand, it was because he was afraid that Han Xin would fall for Han Xin's plan, and on the other hand, he was worried that Han Xin would not agree to this matter easily.
After pondering for a long time, Fan Zeng finally made a decision, and only after he ordered someone to pass on Zhong Lifu first, did he slowly say to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, the old man has thought about it carefully. If Liu Bang sends troops to Han Xin in a fit of rage, then our chances of victory will be much greater. However, the old man guessed that Liu Bang would not do this, and according to my estimate, he would also fulfill Han Xin. Therefore, we must now send someone to contact Han Xin first, and then show him that we are willing to support him as King of Qi, and then see how he reacts to this. As for the candidates, it is naturally Zhong Lifu. β
Hearing Fan Zeng's suggestion, Xiang Yu casually agreed, and just as the two began to discuss the details of contacting Han Xin, Zhong Liwu had already been ordered to come to the Chu Palaceγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
