Chapter 262: Song of the Great Wind (7)
"Deal?"
Han Xin looked at Lu Pheasant with a somewhat playful expression, his expression was a little mocking, "With all due respect, I really can't think of anything you can do with me, Queen." ”
Han Xin's potential line was that Lu Pheasant was not qualified to negotiate conditions with him, but Lu Pheasant was unmoved, raised his eyebrows and said, "How is Linzi City?" ”
Han Xin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Pheasant with some puzzlement; "What do you mean?"
"It's simple." Lu Pheasant took a deep breath and said slowly; "I want to use Linzi City to make a deal with you, you don't have to hide it from me, I know that time is very precious to you, after all, if you spend one more day in Linzi City, Xiang Yu will have one more chance to turn over, and the world will have more uncertainty."
"Why?" This time, Han Xin asked bluntly.
Lu Pheasant is Liu Bang's wife, but now that he has come to offer Linzi, Han Xin is naturally suspicious.
Lu Pheasant just looked at Han Xin with a calm face and said; "Quite simply, for myself."
"Liu Bang is crazy, he wants to pull everyone into the fire pit and bury him with him. What Linzi can't hold, everyone knows it in their hearts, but he is still insisting, he just wants to fight for a breath, but he wants to take the lives of all of us. ”
Han Xin looked at Lu Pheasant, he suddenly found that he couldn't understand this woman, he really couldn't think of why Lu Pheasant could comment on his husband so calmly, such an indifferent comment, indifferent made people feel cold.
Lu Pheasant looked at Han Xin looking at him in a daze, and suddenly smiled lightly, and said; "I'm just a woman, not like you men, who can dominate the field and gamble on the world as a chess game. I'm just a daughter, and a woman is like a duckweed without roots, and all power and wealth must depend on her husband and children. Now that my husband is no longer reliable, then I have to rely on my children, and this is the deal I want to make with you. ”
When Lu Pheasant said this, he stopped very appropriately, and looked at Han Xin with a smile, with something unusual in his eyes.
She tried to straighten her body and try to make her posture look more graceful. In fact, although Lu Pheasant is over thirty years old, she is still beautiful and moving, and her figure is also very well maintained, not as pure as the twenty-eight people, but it has a touch of charm that young girls do not have.
She is a smart woman, and smart women are generally very good at taking advantage of their innate advantages, and she belongs to the best of them, so she easily captures the hearts of many people.
It's a pity that she was disappointed this time, she didn't see "full of interest" in Han Xin's gaze, but on the contrary, she saw a deep sense of caution. Lu Pheasant couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, but his face did not show disappointment.
Han Xin finally asked. "And what do you want from me?"
"I want you to be the son of the marquis, hereditary replacement, never take the title." Lu Pheasant replied without thinking.
Now that power is no longer available, it is better to retreat to the next best, and it is not easy to keep the wealth.
"Yes." Han Xin nodded without hesitation and agreed, if he was just seeking wealth and nobility, this condition was also reasonable.
Seeing Han Xin's readily agreed, Lu Pheasant hesitated slightly, and then said; "One more request."
"Tell me about it."
"I hope you can spare Liu Bang's life, even if it's to put him under house arrest." Lu Pheasant turned his head sideways, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
She has been married to Liu Bang for more than ten years, and she has followed him without hesitation since she was poor, just to be able to get ahead one day. In fact, she didn't misunderstand Liu Bang, Liu Bang is indeed a person who has achieved great things, from a small pavilion chief in Pei County to the famous and dignified King of Han, she has also followed the tide all the way and became a dignified queen of Han.
She has always believed that she is the person who loves Liu Bang the most in the world, and she also firmly believes that only she can be worthy of Liu Bang and can give him advice and become his virtuous helper. Therefore, when Liu Bang did not hesitate to throw her and her two children away when she fled for her life, and when Mrs. Qi favored the Sixth Palace alone and made her and Liu Bang unable to see each other for several months, she would be so angry and breed deep resentment.
But after all, she is Lu Pheasant, Liu Bang's wife for more than ten years, and although she resents Liu Bang in her heart, she still has a constant affection for him.
Han Xin didn't answer her request directly, just raised his eyes and looked at her and said lightly; "Mrs. Liu, be content, don't get an inch, the chips in your hand are not so rich that I can promise you all the conditions."
"What if I insist?"
Lu Pheasant looked at Han Xin directly, but Han Xin's eyes did not back down, but replied simply and clearly: "Then our agreement is canceled, I will send you back to Linzi, we will each rely on our ability and take what we need." ”
Raising his head proudly, Han Xin said with a proud face: "What I Han Xin wants, I never need to ask anyone for help!" ”
After a long confrontation, Lu Pheasant finally lost the battle, looked away, and said softly with some weakness: "Is there really no room for anything?" ”
"Nope." Han Xin replied categorically.
"Lu Pheasant, you are a smart person, you can't see through it. If I get along with Liu Bang, do you think he will let me go? In all fairness, Liu Bang and I have no personal grudges, and the contradiction between me and him is nothing more than a conflict between countries, but I know that he is not a peaceful person, he has ambitions, means, and a large number of heroes who are loyal to him, and what is more terrifying is that he knows how to forbear. ”
"If he does not die, I will not be able to sleep!"
Lu Pheasant bit his lip tightly and didn't say a word, his face was struggling, obviously doing a fierce ideological struggle. Han Xin looked at her appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then said; "At most, I promise you, I will give him a decent ending, and it will be in line with his identity, and this is already the only condition I can promise you again."
After hesitating, Lu Pheasant finally nodded, "Okay, I hope you don't break your promise." ”
"I also have a small 'request.'" Lu Pheasant deliberately accentuated the word 'request'.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Pheasant's face slowly sank, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. "After all, my husband is a dignified Han king, and he was the leader of the alliance of the princes of the world, I hope that even if he dies, he will be beautiful. I will bury all my wives and concubines except me and my son, everyone! ”
Han Xin glanced at Lu Pheasant deeply, and then nodded: "Okay, as you wish." ”
He originally had some appreciation for Lu Pheasant, a "strange woman", but now he has no good feelings. I also secretly made up my mind in my heart that I must not give Lu Pheasant and her son any chance to contact power.
"The conditions have been negotiated, and then I want to see if you have the strength to fulfill your promise."
Lu Pheasant took a deep breath and said calmly; "Zhou Cao, the general in the city, was recommended by me and obeyed me. His new wife was none other than my cousin. If I have an order, he will not refuse. ”
Han Xin was surprised; "Are you 100% sure?"
Lu Pheasant nodded confidently, "I, Lu Pheasant, have always acted cautiously, and I will never do uncertain things, and I am sure, then there will never be any deviation." ”
"And how should I cooperate with you?"
"I need you to suspend the offensive and paralyze the defenders by armistice for five days, and in the middle of the night after five days, I will send someone to open the east gate and raise a fire. When the time comes, you send a large army to ambush the east gate, and as soon as you see my signal, you will immediately enter the city, and my people will put a white cloth on their arms, and you will not admit your mistake when the time comes. When it's done, remember your promises. ”
"Okay, that's a deal." Han Xin and Lu Pheasant high-fived and swore.
…….
Han Xin's jealousy of her Lu Pheasant naturally wouldn't guess, she just returned to Linzi City in a complicated mood, and she just downplayed Li Shiqi's whereabouts and said that Li Shiqi's words offended Han Xin, and the Qin people detained him and imprisoned him as a punishment. Liu Bang did not have much expectations for this peace talks, and he did not suspect that Lu Pheasant was cheating.
The unusual behavior of the Qin army in the next three days greatly puzzled the Han army, and after a few days of rapid attack, the Qin army suddenly stopped the endless stone-throwing siege. While the soldiers of the Han army were secretly happy, they were also worried about the future.
A few days ago, the Han army was afraid that the Qin army would be cheating, so although the Qin army temporarily retreated, they did not dare to fall for a day, lest they fall into the crime of dereliction of duty. But three days passed, and the Qin army, which was camped in the distance outside the city, put on a long-term siege of family affairs, and the Han soldiers gradually became slack, and on the fifth day, they had to be under the advice of the officers to reluctantly go to the city for martial law.
Liu Bang also seemed to feel that something was wrong, Liu Bang at the moment was like a tight string, but he became more and more nervous when others were relaxed, almost sleepless every day, just patrolling around, for fear of being drilled by Qin Jun. Seeing that Liu Bang was working so hard, Lu Pheasant went to the front line as a queen, and walked around every day to comfort Liu Bang's soldiers, but Liu Bang didn't say anything about it, but was moved in his heart.
The sudden withdrawal of the Qin army seemed to have taken away all the vitality in Linzi City, and Linzi City, which was once the most prosperous city in the world, became lifeless. This sense of depression also made Liu Bang upset and irritable, he was like a gladiator full of fighting spirit, energetically setting out to strengthen his defensive plan, but Qin Jun suddenly stopped attacking, as if he had made a heavy punch that he had prepared with his hands full of punches in the air.
For this reason, Liu Bang's temper became more and more irritable, and countless soldiers were whipped by him every time because of laziness, and the Han army began to flee gradually. After learning of this again, the angry Liu Bang immediately took his own soldiers to the city to arrest them, and beheaded all the more than 100 deserters who were captured to show the public.
Xiao He is still busy, his daily schedule is full, and he knows that there is not much time left, so he redoubles his work to fulfill his wishes. Chen Ping is becoming more and more simple, and he just does what little business he has left in the house every day, and he doesn't go out easily.
If there is only one normal person in Linzi City, it can only be Lu Pheasant. While she carefully arranged and prepared, she calculated the details, lest she make a mistake, and on the other hand, she secretly hid Liu Ying in an extremely hidden secret room in the palace, lest he be hurt in the fight.
