Han Xin said with a bitter smile; "This is natural, he is Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu! How could he be so poor? ”

"I'll tell you a secret."

Li Zuoche was stunned, "What secret?"

Han Xin looked at the slowly flowing river in the distance and said with a sad expression; "Actually, Xiang Yu and I are sworn brothers."

"What!" Li Zuoche's face was shocked, and it took a long time to calm down and smile bitterly; "If someone at the top of the Qin State knew about this at the beginning, then you wouldn't be able to sit in this position no matter what, who would let the sworn brother of the biggest anti-thief leader become the captain of the Qin State!"

Han Xin smiled, "I never deliberately hid anything, it's just that no one asked, and she knew about it." ”

Captain Li Zuo let out a long sigh and said; "The princess is a good girl, and it is your blessing that you can marry her, General." The potential meaning is that Win Ke knew that Han Xin would pose a threat to Qin Guosheji, but he still supported him wholeheartedly without hesitation

Han Xin nodded, his face was a little solemn, "Yes, I think so too, how can I, Han Xin, be able to get her favor, so I will cherish her even more." ”

Squinted at Li Zuoche and said, "It's you, why have I never seen your wife, but I seem to have heard that your children are not young." ”

Li Zuoche's face darkened, "My wife is in the house every day, but she never refuses to go out because of her ugly face, so I don't embarrass her, and every time I go to the banquet, I go alone." ”

Seeing the puzzled look on Han Xin's face, Li Zuoche explained: "I have lived in seclusion in the mountains since I was a child, with the ambition of reviving the Zhao Kingdom, she is the granddaughter of my grandfather's generals, and she has been beautiful and moving since she was a child. After Zhao died, her grandfather took my father and me into the mountains, and at my father's behest, I married her in the mountains when I was fourteen years old. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zuoche's face showed a knowing smile and sank into the past, "She has a gentle and virtuous temperament, knows how to care about people very much, and after marriage, we are also respectful and very affectionate, and gave birth to a son and a daughter within a few years." ”

"Later, I heard that the whole world was in chaos, and Wuchen captured Zhao Di and established himself as the king of Zhao, and I felt that the opportunity to show my talent had arrived. So despite her dissuasion, he insisted on taking the whole family down the mountain to join Wuchen. Later, Li Liang, a general of Wuchen, rebelled, and I was leading the army outside, but she was coerced by the rebels at home, and she could only scratch her face in order to keep her innocence. Now her face is full of scars, and since then she has refused to show her face, and has humiliated and abused me in every possible way, trying to provoke me to divorce her. ”

Li Zuoche smiled bitterly, "Where would I not know her thoughts, she once tried hard to persuade me not to go down the mountain, and I was also affected by the way I am now, if I abandon her again, it will be better to be a real beast." So I have been clean for the past few years, and I have never been close to any woman other than her, just to repay the guilt in my heart. ”

Han Xin looked up at him with some surprise and quipped; "I didn't expect you to be serious all day long, but you are also a seed of infatuation."

Li Zuoche often sighed, "What kind of infatuation seed, it's just to repay the love debt." Don't talk about this, you haven't said anything about you and Xiang Yu, aren't you righteous brothers, how can you become like you are now? ”

Han Xin didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically; "Let me ask you, did your previous dream of overthrowing the Qin State and reviving the Zhao State?"

Li Zuoche nodded; "yes, that's exactly what I had in mind."

"Do you know what I thought when I was a teenager?"

"Can't guess." Li Zuoche shook his head, he knew that since Han Xin asked him so, he must have expected that he would be surprised if he couldn't guess, so he simply didn't guess. ”

"My dream when I was a teenager was just to be a carefree servant, or to become rich overnight, and I didn't have to run around every day to feed myself, and I didn't have to suffer the cold eyes of others. I have the ability to repay the kind drifting mother, and I can make those who have insulted me sincerely give me a thumbs up and say 'Han Xin is awesome'. ”

Han Nobunaga breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in a leisurely tone; "That's what I've always wanted, and you can feel very superficial and unambitious, but that's what I thought at the time. I never thought that one day I would stand above tens of thousands of people, and my words and deeds would determine the lives of countless people, and I never thought that I would affect the fate of so many of you. To me, you were nothing more than meaningless beings, but now I am deeply integrated into you, even with a loved one and a son of my own. ”

Seeing Li Zuoche looking at himself with wide eyes, Han Xin couldn't help but smile and asked; "Do you understand?"

Li Zuoche nodded, and shook his head again, "I understand a little, but I heard it confused, what do you mean." ”

"It's strange that you can understand something." Han Xin muttered quietly, and then said with a smile; "What I mean is that this may be what you call providence, I first met Xiang Yu, but I fell in love with a girl at the same time as him, so I turned against each other and agreed to use this world as a chess game to decide the winner, so there is today's General of Qin and the Overlord of Western Chu."

"For example, for example, I didn't meet Xiang Yu at the beginning, or Xiang Yu didn't like the person I liked, maybe I was still loyally following Xiang Yu and charging for him, then everything today would be completely different, I don't know what my thoughts would be at the moment if it was really like that."

Li Zuoche shook his head very honestly, "I don't know." ”

"Of course you don't know, not even myself."

Han Xin smiled lightly, as if he was laughing at himself, "Who knows, these are just boring thoughts." ”

Han Xin suddenly found that he was feeling more and more now, if it was before, he would never have said so many things to others for no reason, most of the things he preferred to hide in his heart, the secrets that belonged to him alone. But now, with the higher power, the original group of brothers are no longer as close to him as they were at the beginning, but faintly distant and afraid, and over time, he didn't even find someone to talk to. It seems that it is precisely for this reason that the monarch is called a lonely widow, and once the supreme power is in your hands, you will also have to suffer the taste of "unbearable cold in high places".

One day, when he becomes the king of Qin, or even the emperor, he will really become a loner.

But the taste of rights does make people know the marrow, and they are not willing to give up easily. The feeling of being above all things, taking the world as a chessboard, the countless soldiers and horses are the chess pieces in their hands, and the whole war is just a game for a few people. Thousands of people did as they commanded, gathered, charged, smitten, bled and died, hated and loved by their enemies and their own. Their life and death, honor and disgrace and wealth, the happiness and disaster of thousands of families, the fortune and prospects of the whole country, and the rise and fall and replacement of the world all depend entirely on their own fleeting thoughts.

This is the feeling of the "superiors", who control the fate of many others in their hands. That's why kings like to say that they are the "Son of Heaven," the Sons of Heaven. This feeling of being above all things is indeed comparable to that of the Son of Heaven.

Han Xin couldn't help but be a little confused, he could easily manipulate the fate of millions of people, but he couldn't control his own fate. Since he came to this era inexplicably, everything he has done seems to have been predetermined in the dark, and he is just following suit.

Is this what is called providence?

Han Xin couldn't help but lower his head, looking at the quietly flowing river, and fell into deep thought. Li Zuoche looked at Han Xin's abnormal behavior a little strangely, but he didn't ask, just waited quietly by the side.

It took a long time for Han Xin to come back to his senses, and smiled at Li Zuoche apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was a little out of shape just now, and I was thinking about things." ”

Li Zuoche showed an empathetic smile on his face and quipped; "It's okay, I'm honored to meet the unknown side of the General."

"Without further ado, I wonder if you have a plan for what we should do next?"

Han Xin nodded, "I plan to deal with Liu Bang first, and then attack the Chu army from behind after capturing Qidi, so it will be half the effort." ”

Li Zuoche groaned; "But the situation in the Central Plains is not optimistic, if we don't make good progress in Qidi, we will inevitably fall into it, but it will give the Chu army and the Han army a chance to break us."

"I trust Wang Jing and Zhang Liang, I can understand that they made a mistake once, after all, the opponent is Xiang Yu, but he also made the same mistake, that is, I looked at the wrong person. At the beginning, they seized the opportunity everywhere and always wanted to suppress the Chu army, so they were broken one by one by Xiang Yu's concentrated forces. With this lesson, I believe that according to their ability, they will never be easily succeeded by Xiang Yu again, as long as we can calm down the ground as soon as possible, it will be fine. ”

Li Zuoche was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask: "It's just that there are big rivers and natural dangers in Qidi, and Liu Bang is not a person to deal with, I heard that after he returned to Qi, he argued that the army has exceeded 300,000, and we want to take Qidi, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." I am afraid that once we are deeply trapped in Qi and the war is stalemate, we will reproduce the embarrassing situation of Xiang Yu in the Battle of Pengcheng, when he was taken advantage of by Liu Bang when the main army was deep in Qidi. ”

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Han Xin's mouth, and he said slowly; "Don't you also know the Mo family's covenant with us?"

Li Zuoche frowned, "Are you saying that the Mo family's group of guys are willing to give us an internal response?" It's a bit too risky, and who knows if those guys can be relied on. ”

Li Zuoche is a believer in the Bing family, and his political views are naturally inconsistent with the Mo family, so it is reasonable to make retorts. Han Xin didn't care, just waved his hand and smiled; "You underestimate the power of the Mo family too much, they have a wide range of appeal among the people, and the chivalrous style is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, presumably there must be a large number of their believers in the Han army. Moreover, Mo Zhai, the ancestor of the Mo family, is a native of Lu, and the scholarship of Qi has always been known for its open style of learning, so the influence of the Mo family in Qi is very huge, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, there are their followers. ”

"That's the key to our quick win!"
