Chapter 146: Han Xin (1st Update)
Linzi Post House is separated from the Shenwu Marquis Mansion by two streets, near the east gate of the city, Zhao Jun walked forward quickly, but Mu Ning was inexplicable behind, thinking that you are a Shenwu Marquis, a very human minister, power and prestige are all covering the sky, even if Kui Che is talented, why should he be so flustered.
Zhao Jun didn't notice Mu Ning's expression in front, of course, even if he did, he wouldn't slow down.
Historically, Kuaiche had very few appearances at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the first time was to help Wuchen settle the Ding Zhao Land without spending a single soldier, and the second time was to help Han Xin, who almost wanted to change Han Xin's fate, was good at vertical and horizontal military strategy, and was a powerful lobbyist.
For historical talents, Zhao Jun always has a special plot, and Kui Che is indeed talented, so he must not be neglected.
Soon, Zhao Jun arrived at the post house, and the steward of the post house heard that Shenwu Hou was coming, and hurriedly greeted the salute, Zhao Jun had no intention of saying more, waved his hand and let him lead the way, and went directly to see Kui Che.
The post houses of the Qin period were built very roughly, most of them were rows of houses, and the houses were carved out of a mold, with a straight path sandwiched in the middle.
However, this post station is the post station of the capital of the ancient Qi country, not to mention the high door wall, the house facilities inside are complete, and the open space carries grass and trees, which is quite quiet.
At this time, Kuaicher was in a house on the north side of the post house.
After traveling the entire Linzi, Kui Che decided to take refuge in Shenwu Hou, but he thought that Han Guangchu was defeated and Linzi was at the beginning of peace, so he didn't come to the post house until yesterday.
Kui Che's current reputation is not big, it is not small, such a character is unscrupulous in Linzi, the listener can be killed if he can't picket it, and when he came to the post house, the members of the listener finally told Mu Ning the news, and Mu Ning also noticed that it was a little abnormal, so he mentioned it early in the morning and learned his purpose, so he went back to report to Zhao Jun.
In the room, except for Kuaccher, who stood still in front of the window, there was also a young man lying on his side on the bed, he had his head on his hand, he was wearing a black scarf and a short shirt, his face was mediocre, but he had a pair of bright eyes.
It's just that he looked a little worried at this time, and asked Kui Che in front of the window in a half-loud voice: "Old Kui, you say, can we be reused by Shenwu Hou?" Don't just give a knife and pen officer, or even a long soldier, then I won't accompany you. ”
"And how big do you want to be?" Kuai asked without replying.
The young man thought for a while obediently, and then said, "What's the matter, I have to be a partial general, so that I can show my talent, and I believe that as long as he sees my talent, even if he makes me a general, it is not too much." ”
Kui Che turned his head and scolded with a smile: "Hehe, you really dare to think that the general is a real position in the Qin State, and the Marquis of Shenwu is a high position, but the real position is still a general, and a group of cronies and generals are just partial generals.
"That's right," the young man obviously didn't think of this question, and after hesitation, he affirmed: "However, as long as you can reuse me, I will be able to soar to the sky with my talents." ”
Kuaiche smiled: "Don't worry, with my observation and visit to Linzi for a while, I dare to conclude that Shenwu Hou will reuse you and me, he is a real meritocracy, otherwise he would not restore the Jixia School Palace, and recruit so many talented students regardless of whether he is high or low." ”
After hearing this, the young man nodded, and his face couldn't help but show admiration and said: "I have also heard a lot about the deeds of Shenwu Hou, and he is indeed a masterpiece, but I don't understand why he killed Chen Sheng, but the court did not have a thick seal, and he is still a general, and it is not an exaggeration to be a general." ”
After hearing this, Kui Che stroked his beard and smiled: "I am not as good as you in terms of military affairs, but in terms of people's hearts, you are still a hairy child in front of me, Shenwu Hou is a master of high merit, and the emperor wants to suppress him." ”
The young man was stunned when he heard this, and said: "I didn't expect this to be the case, aren't they brothers, when they work together to protect the Qin State, why is it groundless speculation, isn't it a villain's move?" ”
"You won't understand the mentality of those in power." Kui Che shook his head and said: "However, it is precisely because of this that you and I can show our talents, otherwise Shenwu Hou is just a capable minister, how can you and I be under others soon?" ”
"Yes." The young man smiled when he heard this, and said in a very humble manner: "The entanglement of people's hearts is too complicated, I don't care about it, I just want to be able to use what I have learned in my head on the battlefield, this is my greatest wish." ”
In fact, young people also have another wish, that is, to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, so that they can have the funds to build a large tomb for their deceased mother.
"You're really." Kui Che pointed at him and smiled helplessly, the two had only known each other for a few days, but Kui Che knew this person very well, a military genius and a madman, but he was a blank for human affairs, as simple as a blank piece of paper.
After a pause, Kuaiche's eyes lit up and said: "Don't worry, Shenwu Marquis is a wise and benevolent lord, and he will never treat capable and loyal courtiers lightly, and your dream will definitely come true." ”
After a while, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and then only Zhao Jun's voice sounded: "May I ask if Mr. Kuai is in the room, Zhao Jun has come to visit." ”
Outside the door, Zhao Jun sent away the owner of the post house and knocked on the door with Mu Ning, in fact, he just pushed the door directly according to Mu Ning's intentions, but Zhao Jun did not do so in order to show respect.
Inside the room, Kui Che and the young man were shocked when they heard this, and Kui Che straightened his clothes a little, walked to the door, and opened the door.
This is the first time Kuaiche has personally seen Zhao Jun, aged twenty-six or seventeen, with a majestic figure, an abyss-like breath, an indifferent smile on his face, and a pair of eyes that are extremely deep, giving people a kind of vastness of the sea and the majesty of the mountains, as if only a slight shock can bring up the general trend of the world.
A trace of excitement flashed on Kui Che's face, the two sleeves of his robes intersected, he bowed his body for a long time, and said respectfully: "It is Kui Che below, the Hou Ye condescends to be noble, and it is so light that he receives it, and Kui Che is terrified." ”
Kuai Che was indeed very surprised, he thought that even if he attracted the attention of Zhao Jun, he would inevitably take the opportunity to summon himself to the palace for questioning, after all, he had helped Wuchen and others, and he was opposite to the people of the imperial court.
But I didn't expect Zhao Jun to come to the door in person, such a courteous corporal, it was fake that Kui Che was not a little moved in his heart, after all, how conceited he was, at this time he was just a commoner, and his ancestors were not nobles, but he was self-taught.
While he was looking at Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun was also looking at Kui Che, who was dressed in a cloth robe, with tall bones and a calm and confident temperament.
"Hehe, Mr. is talented, it is the luck of the army to be able to come to Linzi, there is no reason to be contemptuous, Mr. passed on the ability of Zhao Di, and he is admired." Zhao Jun smiled and went directly into the room, and Mu Ning also followed.
Kui Che smiled awkwardly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhao Jun said this to show that he didn't mind what he had done before.
In the end, Kuaiche said shallowly: "Hou Ye has won the award, I am only painted with three inches of Lichelles, if Hou Ye does not give up, it will be Hou Ye's work for dogs and horses." ”
When Zhao Jun heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to hold up Kui Che and said: "Mr. is talented, you can be my Great Qin's Zhang Yi, and I am so happy." ”
Zhang Yi is a famous columnist, who made indelible contributions to the unification of the six countries of Qin and has a lofty status.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your trust, and I am willing to go to the soup for the great cause of Lord Hou, and then do what Zhang Yi and Su Qin did." Kuaiche said with a straight face, revealing a majestic aura between his eyebrows.
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, but judging from just a few words of conversation, Kuaiche was indeed an extraordinary person.
Mu Ning frowned, thinking that this old guy was really trusting, Zhao Jun compared him to Zhang Yi, and he really dared to respond.
At this time, Zhao Jun turned his gaze to the young man behind Kuaicher, and at some point, the young man had already left the bed and stood behind Kuaicher.
Kui Che looked back, and immediately smiled at Zhao Jun: "Don't blame the lord, Che was negligent for a while, so he forgot that this little brother met with Che in Linzi, and he also came to join the lord. ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Jun smiled faintly and glanced at the young man, who was sturdy, with an ordinary face and slightly dark, very ordinary, only a pair of eyes that were bright and abnormal.
Seeing this, the young man took two steps forward, bent down and saluted, "Huaiyin Han Xin, meet the Marquis of Shenwu." ”
"It's actually Han Xin?!" Zhao Jun was shocked in his heart, although his face was still silent, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
Han Xin looked up and saw that Zhao Jun was expressionless, and thought that Zhao Jun looked down on him because of his small reputation, but Han Xin was not angry, judging from a series of actions such as Zhao Jun knocking on the door just now, Shenwu Hou should be a person who is a corporal of Lixian, and even if he is a great talent, after all, he has not shown it, and it is not surprising that people don't know.
Therefore, without waiting for Zhao Jun to say something, Han Xin said: "I am not as clever and insightful as Mr. Kuai, but I have studied the art of war since I was a child, and I think I have the talent of the three armies. ”
The army rules the world? Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, he was really angry, but then he thought about Han Xin's talent, and was silent, Han Xin did have this ability.
However, Zhao Jun thinks like this, others don't think so, especially Mu Ning's brows are furrowed even more, she regrets it now, she shouldn't have brought Zhao Jun here, what kind of people are these two, one is more than Su and Zhang, and the other is not very old, but his tone is arrogant.
Kui Che couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead at this time, he already knew that Han Xin was a second-class person in terms of interpersonal communication, but he didn't expect that two would be to this extent, and he would command three soldiers for Shenwu Hou, even if Shenwu Hou didn't mind, but if this word was to be spread, those arrogant soldiers under Shenwu Hou could let you go?
In the middle of the sound, Han Xin also realized that he had said too much, his face flashed a trace of embarrassment, and finally said: "If the Hou Ye doesn't believe it, you can take Han Xin as the general first, there is no need for more soldiers and horses, as long as there are 10,000, the letter will open up territory for the Hou Ye." ”
Two goods! Kuaiche glared at Han Xin secretly, the total number of people in Linzi is only 30,000 now, and you will have to leave 10,000 when you open your mouth, it seems that it is still very little, it is really two, even if Shenwu Hou is generous in his mind and Corporal Lixian, it is impossible to rashly hand over 10,000 soldiers and horses to a Leng Touqing like you, and he has only known each other for more than an hour.
Kui Che now has the urge to strangle Han Xin, thinking that he came with Han Xin, if the lord thinks that I am as arrogant as him, then I will not die unjustly?
Mu Ning's eyes also became cold at this time, he was too arrogant.
Han Xin met the 'hot' gaze of Kuaiche and Mu Ning, and was stunned in his heart, I said the wrong thing again?
"If the Hou Ye is embarrassed, you might as well accept me as a partial general first, as long as you give me the opportunity to command the soldiers and horses to fight, I will definitely prove it to the Hou Ye."
Han Xin thought that it was better to endure it first, after all, if it weren't for the light of Kuaiche today, if he went to seek refuge elsewhere, maybe the inns wouldn't take him in, so he could only be a big soldier.
"Master Hou might as well give it a try, and give him a lieutenant to train his troops, if his talent is acceptable, he can stay in office." At this time, Kui Che felt that Han Xin was from him after all, and he had some friendship, and he wanted to sell his favor after listening to him deduce that the art of war was indeed extraordinary.
Han Xin was a little disappointed when he heard Kui Che's words, after all, the lieutenant was still a step away from the general, but in his heart, it was not bad if he could train alone, as long as the Hou Ye saw my strength, he would not worry about him not taking him in.
It's just that at this time, Mu Ning said coldly: "Hmph, in my opinion, if you really have talent, you might as well be a pawn, and your talent will not be buried anywhere." ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Xin's face turned red for most of the time, and there was some anger between his eyebrows, although he had good martial arts, he was not a martial arts general, and he might die in battle one day when he became a pawn, and he didn't even leave a name, which was almost too far from the feudal general he expected.
According to his analysis, since this woman can always follow Zhao Jun's side and dare to speak out, she must be Zhao Jun's cronies, and there is no need for him to hit the blade of the gun for a young man.
Similarly, Han Xin's heart was also a little cold, although he was not good at interpersonal communication, he could feel the weight of this woman, and for a while, Han Xin's whole person's momentum was relaxed, and there was endless loss between his eyebrows.
However, just as Han Xin was about to say goodbye, Zhao Jun suddenly smiled.
"Han Xin, from today onwards, you will be the marshal of the Linzi Commandery!"
"What?" Mu Ning exclaimed first, his face was shocked, and Kui Che was also stunned, looking at Zhao Jun with a shocked face, could it be that I, the lord, am also a second goods?
Han Xin, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment, his bright eyes were instantly filled with fog, and his steps were motionless, as if he was stupid.
Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Han looks down on Ben Hou's position as commander?" Don't want to work in this office? ”
"No, no, no" Han Xin woke up suddenly, waved his hands together, and finally suddenly made a gesture, bowed deeply, and said sonorously: "Thanks to the grace of the Hou Ye, there is no way to repay the faith, only to die with each other, and sweep away any enemy for the Hou Ye." ”
At this time, Han Xin swept away his disappointment and decadence, and his powerful self-confidence burst out from between his eyebrows, as if it was like a peerless sword that had been sealed for many years, and suddenly its scabbard was lifted, revealing his shocking sharpness.
"Well, that's a good point, I like an ambitious young man like you." Zhao Jun patted Han Xin on the shoulder, and then said: "But don't be too happy, now that the Linzi War has just passed, everything needs to be rectified, you first go to the Linzi army to familiarize yourself with the situation, and in three months, Benhou will give you more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to show you the best stage." ”
"Respect the Lord's order." Han Xin did not hesitate at all, as long as there were soldiers, these were insignificant trivial matters.
Zhao Jun nodded and said: "Well, you and Mr. Che will prepare first, and the accommodation will be arranged for you later, tomorrow Han Xin, you will go to the military camp to find Tang Li to report, and get familiar with the situation in the army as soon as possible, Mr. can come directly to see Ben Hou." ”
"No!" The two of them hugged their fists excitedly, and there was a bit of a taste of gearing up.
Then Zhao Jun took Mu Ning out of the post house and went back to the Hou Mansion directly, along the way, Mu Ning wanted to speak and stopped, and followed him to Zhao Jun's residence in the backyard, and finally couldn't hold back, and said: "How can you be so sloppy, that old guy is full of anger, but that's it, after all, his reputation is outside."
But that Han Xin is just a stunned young man, full of wild words, how can you reuse such a person, 30,000 soldiers and horses are related to the lives of countless people, can he be responsible for a Leng Tou Qing. ”
"Leng Tou Qing?" Zhao Jun felt funny, but he didn't explain much: "In the future, you will find out how wise and powerful your husband and I are, with fiery eyes." ”
"You're also full of air." Mu Ning glanced at Zhao Jun, but she didn't persuade him much, she understood the proportion, and she also believed that Zhao Jun was not a person who was targeted for no reason.
Zhao Jun smiled at the corner of his mouth, suddenly hugged Mu Ning's silky waist, and hugged her in his arms again, "Come, husband blow on you," and kissed it, and kept stroking and climbing with both hands.
Mu Ning was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and finally took the initiative to cooperate under the strong offensive of the Zhao army, panting and muttering.
Since the two of them uncovered the last membrane a while ago, they have been a little dissatisfied, and they will have fun when they have the opportunity, but it made Mrs. Qing angry, and she ate her daughter's vinegar, although Zhao Jun had a few times with her, but after all, it was sneaky.
On the second day, Kuaiche came to the study early in the morning, and Zhao Jun called Wei Yi, Sima Xin, Tang Li and other civil and military ministers, which was regarded as introducing Kuaicher to them.
However, before everyone's buttocks were hot, Zhou Chang suddenly came.
Zhao Jun was stunned, he asked Zhou Chang to order Dongjiao and Langya to meet the two county guards, didn't there be a result?
"Meet Master Hou, I've seen you." After Zhou Chang came, he saluted everyone, and also bowed to Kui Che, before he came, he had heard from the commander of the iron guard outside the door that there was such a number one person by Hou Ye's side, and Kui Che made a statement outside, Zhou Chang did not wait for him.
Kui Che smiled and returned the salute, and everyone nodded with a smile.
"Fortunately, how are things going?" Zhao Jun asked with a chuckle.
Zhou Chang hugged his fists and replied: "Back to Hou Ye, Cao An of Langya County has already come, and his attitude is very good, but Zuo Qing of Dongjiao County resolutely refused, and said that although Hou Ye is high, he is only in charge of Linzi County, and he can't control Dongjiao County, so he advises Hou Ye not to meddle in things." ”
"What? How can this be reasonable, this guy is really rampant! Irrigated baby Hu Hai and others were furious, and Yingbu looked gloomy.
Cao Wuxian said even more resentfully: "Boss, it's better for us to capture Dongjiao directly, hmph, if he hadn't been hiding behind our Linzi, he would have been wiped out by the rebels, and he wouldn't have looked at his virtues." (To be continued.) )
