Chapter 42 The trend of the world is seen through
After a few words of negotiation, Han Xin ordered the soldiers to open the gate of the city and welcome Xue Cheng's soldiers and horses into the city. After repeated battles and trekking all the way, the soldiers of Xue Cheng finally have a place to live and live. After days of fighting and fleeing, the soldiers were all exhausted, some soldiers were infected with wind and cold, and some soldiers were already physically unknown. With the moment when the soldiers entered the city, the generals and soldiers were relieved, and they could recuperate well in the future, so as to fight in the future.
With a simple arrangement, Lu Bu and the others ordered the captains and captains to lead the army to station. The arrangements were made, and Han Xin and the others led the soldiers to the county guard's mansion.
On the way to the county guard's mansion, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei suddenly looked at each other, suddenly talked softly, and kept their hands on the weapon at all times.
Han Xin walked on his own, and with just a gentle word, he quieted them down. "If you want to be a sinner under the world, kill us and take possession of this city. But don't forget, Anyang, Dingyang is still in my hands" I didn't look at them from beginning to end. They were not even allowed to unload their weapons when they entered the city.
That's spirit, that's confidence.
Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei saw through what they were thinking and didn't make any moves, so they looked at what Han Xin wanted to do. Soon arrived at the county guard's mansion, and everyone had just entered the door, and the original Gong Cao ordered that they could serve wine and food.
The food and drinks are ready! This made Lu Bu and the others a little puzzled. Immediately, Dian Wei asked Han Xin, "Mr. Han, you have already prepared the wine and food?" Is it for us? ”
It was Shang Ping who answered him, "My husband has calculated that you will come today, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and food to entertain the heroes, I just hope that the heroes will not dislike the wine and food that are not in taste." Shang Ping said proudly.
Hiss! Everyone took a breath, if they just knew that they were here today, it wouldn't be strange, but they were just thinking that they were on the city wall. How did Han Xin know that they would definitely agree, and they had already prepared food and drinks. Presumably, ordinary people would not say that they want military power so easily, and they will not be allowed to enter the city if they don't give military power.
There was no room for everyone to think about it, and soon the wine and food were served, and Han Xin just beckoned everyone to drink, but didn't say anything else.
Everyone seemed to be leading Han Xin away, not knowing what Han Xin wanted to do, everything was too weird, and he kept saying that he wanted their military power, so why didn't he talk about this, but said something inconsequential.
The meal was finished, and everyone knew that it was time to get to the point this time, but Li Cunxiao couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked, "Mr. Han, what do you want?" ”
Han Xin rinsed his mouth, and only replied after a while, "I didn't say it, I want your military power"
Everyone was slightly stunned, how could it be so direct this time. Yes, Han Xin seems to have said a long time ago that he wanted their military power, but why didn't he mention it before, and still let others say it, it felt like he was going to give them to him.
Han Xin saw that everyone was stunned, and suddenly said seriously, "The reason why I haven't said a word from the time you entered the city to the present is to erase your character, you are all heroes, heroes, how can you easily give away the military power to me." If there was no Anyang, Dingyang, I'm afraid you would have killed me a long time ago."
This Han Xin is really right, if he wasn't worried about Anyang and Dingyang, he would have killed Han Xin a long time ago, how could he give the military power to him, wouldn't it be a joke.
Han Xin gradually grasped their curiosity, and did not bring it up, and made them think for themselves, which undoubtedly obliterated their temperament, if they entered the city, they were afraid that they would be angered, and things would not be good.
Now that he was serious, Han Xin stopped beating around the bend and continued, "I have long expected that Chu Dingde will divide his troops to attack your Xue Cheng, and you will defeat Xue Cheng and abandon the city to Tiancheng, so I have been waiting for you in Tiancheng for a long time. ”
"Suffice it all to say, within my calculations. Anyang, Dingyang, and the distant army rescued, naturally they could not arrive as scheduled, but they would not give up easily, only to come to Bo, Bo can you wait for their reinforcements. ”
"It's a pity that Chu Dingde's army attacked your Xue City with lightning and thunder, in order to occupy Xue City, wave its army to the east, and prevent Wuding City from going east to rescue. Under Chu Dingde's powerful offensive, you Xue Cheng is destined to not last long. And Wuding City will not sit idly by, he will naturally send cavalry to harass the rear of the enemy army to share your worries. ”
"If you unite the power of your four cities, you can resist Chu Dingde's army. It's just that this battle is doomed to you, and you are lost over time. And at this time, taking advantage of the emptiness in Anyang and Dingyang City, I took these two cities in one fell swoop. ”
When Han Xin's money arrived, it turned out that everything was as he expected, and all of this was not much different from what he expected. What kind of ability is this, so that everyone has to gasp.
Seeing Han Xin say this, everyone was puzzled again, and they were very puzzled. Lu Bu asked, since you already knew, why didn't you make arrangements earlier, if you made arrangements early, Xue Cheng would not have lost it, are you just trying to gain military power.
An answer that they can't even believe, I'm going to let them go east, I'm going to let them be defeated in the east.
Han Xin smiled, smiled very mysteriously, and said, "Why do I want to take your military power, because the three of you have no clear leader, you are fighting separately, and you lack the overall ability to coordinate the military. It is undoubtedly difficult for you to go into battle to kill the enemy, and if you lead the army to fight, you still owe some heat, so I will lead you, only in this way can you be invincible."
"The Yang Righteous Army, the three of them are the mainstay, and they also lack clear appeal, all three of them are good at scheming, and they are also poor at leading the army to fight. There is no disinterest in the generals, if the three of them have different opinions, it will be a big trouble. Just like the three of you. Since ancient times, only one person has given orders."
The three of them nodded, sometimes the opinions of the three of them are really different, so who are the people below listening to, this is really a hidden danger. Then Anyang must be very good, so they asked, Anyang has military generals and civil ministers, so there must be no such hidden dangers.
Han Xin nodded and said, "Indeed, Anyang County, Guo Jia can see all over the world at a glance, and Huang Xiu can know everything in the world when he is drunk." Yuwen Chengdu, Feng Jin all have the courage of ten thousand people. And their ** adults are even better at employing people, and such a powerful force can be called superior. ”
Since he is upper-class, why do you want to take him Anyang. It's not that you want to control all the rebels in the world in your hands, and you can't become a king if you want to establish yourself. Dian Wei asked Han Xin like this.
Han Xin smiled meaningfully and said, "I occupied its Anyang, not to plot against him Anyang, but to send him a general, a general's general!" ”
The general's general, isn't that a marshal.
Han Xin ignored their feelings, and said to himself, "Although the imperial court is empty, but their foundation is still there, only with the power of the upper rank, it will not be able to shake the court, only the first-class power can bring him down with the power of destroying the withering and decaying."
The three of them nodded again, and at this moment, they began to believe in Han Xin. What he said makes sense, and the analysis goes straight to the bone marrow.
What about Wuding City?
Han Xin continued, "Wuding City, the prefecture and county are huge, the number is large, and there are many talents, if you give him enough time, Wuding City can fight against the imperial court with his own strength!" It's just a pity that the county guard Li Siyuan was originally an official of the imperial court, and although he rebelled, he was still unconvincing to the people of the world."
Absolutely, this gaze is like a torch, the analysis is clear and irrefutable. But this is only a theoretical thing. Leading troops to fight is no more than others, and the battlefield has changed too much, and it is not just words that can be solved.
Han Xin knew that they would say this, so he stood up and bowed deeply to the three of them, "Three heroes, if there is chaos today, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will be wantonly suppressed. The rebels have been fighting passively, and the situation is terrible. As long as you hand over the military power to me, I can annihilate all the Chu Dingde army in one fell swoop" Speaking of this, Han Xin was full of firmness and confidence.
Everyone was shaken, and the army of Chu Dingde was completely annihilated, looking at what kind of ability he is at present, but can they believe him, will he lead the righteous army to defeat Chu Dingde?
Han Xin saw that they didn't dare to express their stance easily, and he also knew that this matter came too suddenly, so he said, "This is the best opportunity, as long as Chu Dingde's army goes east, I can completely annihilate him."
Chu Dingde's army went east, and it was too late to hide, and he wanted to annihilate it in one fell swoop. Although after repeated battles, Chu Dingde lost troops one after another, but he still has at least more than 60,000 people, his 60,000 is the elite division of the imperial court, and now if you add the soldiers and horses of Anyang, Dingyang, and Xuecheng, the number of people can compete with it, but no matter in terms of equipment, combat experience, and the quality of the soldiers themselves are ten times inferior to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how to annihilate him in one fell swoop.
Han Xin said that this was a very good opportunity, and now that Xue Cheng was newly defeated, Chu Dingde would never have thought that the soldiers of Xue Cheng would dare to make a detour to the east. In cooperation with Anyang, Dingyang's soldiers and horses will definitely allow Chu Dingde's army to fall eastward, and there is already a detailed plan.
Is it to set up a life in Tiancheng to fight again in the future, or to hand over the military power to Han Xin now in order to rise strongly. Everyone is faced with a choice, so they have to be cautious.
Han Xin was not in a hurry, because he already knew the result. Sure enough, everyone agreed that the military power would be handed over to Han Xin for the time being, and Han Xin would be at his disposal.
Han Xin did it, he got the military power of Xue Cheng, presumably Sun Wu would not have any situation, Han Xin immediately ordered Shang Ping to hurry back to Dingyang, and informed Sun Wu that he would lead the army east in a few days.
The decisive battle is about to begin, and at this moment, Han Xin is full of confidence, and he firmly believes that the end of Chu Dingde's army is coming.
