The table looked a little tattered, creaking when leaning against it. The table top was also dirty, as if there was a layer of grease that could never be washed off.

The figures in the dim tavern swayed, and the men at the tables gathered together, and the loud noise, mixed with the shouting of the shopkeeper and the men from time to time, the noise of the whole tavern was deafening, and from time to time there were drunkards who were thrown out of the door by the men.

This is one of the most common taverns in the city, and most of the people who come here are the big soldiers who are on rotation, and the cheap shochu here can satisfy the needs of many people. Some officers of the same status will not come here, they naturally have their place, the land of those green buildings of warblers and swallows.

Compared with the noise of the rest of the tavern, a table in the corner was much cleaner, and only a young man sat there drinking slowly, just a few simple side dishes. The people next to him avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, and did not step forward to compete for a seat with him.

Every afternoon, this young man would order a few fixed side dishes in this tavern by himself, drink the bad wine for an hour or two, and then leave the wine money and leave. This place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and several shopkeepers are also human spirits, seeing that the young man is silent, and every time a person comes, he has the intention of deceiving each other in his heart, and mixes some water in his wine. After drinking this wine for the first time, the young man frowned, said nothing, and continued to drink. Xiao Er felt that he seemed to be a bully, so he became more and more emboldened, and kept mixing water. Finally, one day, the young man raised his head and called Xiao Er, and pulled the copper coins in half with his fingers in front of him.

"The next time you mix wine in the water, it's not a copper coin." The young man glanced at Xiao Er's hand lightly, and Xiao Er was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized and admitted his mistake.

The tavern was crowded, but no one would come and compete with him. These soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles, so they naturally know who they can and can't mess with. Although the young man was smiling and polite, there was a hint of unusual taste in his eyes.

"If you want me to say, our Northern Army is really fucking aggrieved, shrinking at home as a grandson." A big man with a fierce face slammed the table and roared.

"Yes." A drunken man next to him answered; "If we go south to fight those mud legs, there will be nothing else to do. It's really a fucking shame, those young master soldiers in the Central Plains actually lost to the army composed of mud legs, and lost the face of my Qin army, and even Xianyang was almost beaten down. ”

"If you want to say that our northern army is still embarrassed, hundreds of thousands of troops actually sit on the sidelines and let those mud-legged people sweep across the Central Plains. If the general was here back then, how could he be like the current marshal and kill us directly. ”

When a leader-looking person next to him saw the drunk man say such a 'rebellious' thing, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and scolded angrily, "Crazy Xiao, what kind of drunken madness are you, you dare to say this kind of nonsense, you want to kill our whole army." After speaking, he glanced at Han Xin in the distance, and saw that he was still drinking and eating as usual, thinking that he should not hear the words from this side from a distance, so he was relieved.

The drunk man was pushed, and he also realized that he had lost his words, but he still muttered in his mouth: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to run away like Lao Jiang and their Natun." ”

Although it was far away, Han Xin's ears were so powerful that he heard it word for word, and the smile on his face was a little bitter.

Since the Northern Army implemented the system of joint sitting, the number of escapes has indeed decreased a lot, but there have been many cases of entire gangs and entire tuns fleeing together. From this matter, Han Xin also saw the flaws in Wang Li's ability to control, Zhida was sparse, and the panic caused the faint tricks constantly, and the Northern Army, which was originally promising, has now become a soldier.

Since Han Xin was appointed as a deputy general last time, Wang Li left him in the Chinese army for appointment, and the military position has not been vacant, so he made him a lieutenant of Zhisu. Thinking that Han Xin was in Mobei at the beginning, he became a logistics officer when he returned to Fushi, although he was promoted, but it was also a little laughable.

Zhisu Duwei is responsible for the production of grain and grass for the whole army, and the north is not as good as the interior, although most of the grain and grass are supplied by Guanzhong, but a small half of it needs to be produced by the tuntian. Han Xin was still in high spirits when he took office, but within a month, he got tired of this boring work, so he simply threw all the errands to his deputy, and he ended up at ease.

It has been three months since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started the incident, but Wang Li ignored the urging documents sent by Xianyang, just waited and watched, and at the same time increased the purge in the Zaibei army. Shejian was the first to show his support, but Su Jiao was lonely and couldn't speak, so he ignored it. Wang Li replaced a large number of his cronies in the army, and Meng Tian's henchmen were transferred from important positions one after another, and Wang Jing also took over the left army and became the left general.

Han Xin just didn't understand Wang Li's thoughts about himself, it stands to reason that he should belong to Wang Li's lineage, he relied on Wang Li's promotion to change from a new Ding to a deputy general, and he and his son Wang Jing are friends of life and death. But Wang Li's attitude towards him has always been guarded, although it is important, it is not an important position in the army, which makes Han Xin very confused about Wang Li's thoughts.

Wang Li's attitude towards Xianyang is not difficult to guess, he is holding the army to self-respect. Although Wang Li had reached an agreement with Zhao Gao, he did not plan to join Zhao Gao, but wanted to resist him.

He has been fighting horses all his life, and he is extremely confident in the strength of Great Qin, and firmly believes that the mud-legged men of the rebel army cannot shake the cornerstone of Great Qin. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if Xianyang falls, Wang Li, with hundreds of thousands of tigers, can still shape a new Great Qin and a new empire.

Wang Li obviously underestimated the ability of the rebel army and overestimated the endurance of Great Qin.

Under the nest, there are no eggs. If Guanzhong is lost, Daqin will lose its roots, and what will he rely on to restrain the northern army, and what will he rely on to command the three armies.

So Han Xin saw that Wang Li was a short-sighted person, so he made small profits and gave up his roots, not that the Ming Lord could follow, but himself, it was time to think of a way out.

Han Xin drank slowly, thinking about where to go. The rebel army is a good choice, everyone is from the grassroots, just like the slogan shouted by Chen Sheng, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! With his talent, it's not too difficult to get ahead.

It's just that if you follow the anti-Qin, you will definitely meet Xiang Yu, how to deal with yourself and condescend to others at that time? That's impossible. Moreover, when he was in the Northern Army for a long time, and when he was in Mobei, he lived and died with thousands of brothers, and he had long regarded himself as a member of the Qin Army, and now he suddenly gave up his efforts for a year, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart after all.

After drinking alone for a while, still bored in his heart, he left the tavern after paying for the wine.

Now that Han Xin has paid homage to his generals, he naturally will no longer live in the barracks as before. The king sent for him a small house, which was to the east of the city of Fushi, not far from the tavern.

Han Xin didn't take a few steps away from the tavern before he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said sharply, "Come out." ”

A girl in red walked out of the corner of the wall, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her head down, and her face was full of shyness, which was exactly the win that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, originally he felt that someone was following, so he said something out, but he didn't expect it to win. Changed to a smile, greeted him and smiled; "Kerr, why are you?"

Win Ke snorted heavily and said aggrievedly; "Why can't it be me, do you think people will be like you, it's been so long, and you've never come to find someone. Is it that if I don't come to you quietly, you won't remember me for the rest of your life. After speaking, the corners of his eyes turned red, and when he turned his head, tears fell like beads with broken threads.

When Han Xin saw her crying, he was anxious, and wanted to reach out to help her wipe away her tears, but he was afraid that his dirty hands would stain her, so he had to stand in place in a daze, helpless.

Suddenly remembered something, panicked took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it over, and said with a flattering face: "Ke'er Ke'er, don't cry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." That one...... This one on me is pretty clean, you can wipe your tears. ”

Ying Ke still ignored him, just sobbed, and after a long time, he was probably tired of crying, so he stopped crying. Seeing Han Xin stretching out his hand to hold the piece of cloth, his face was full of smiles, and he looked flattering. He snorted again, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he took it a little reluctantly.

I was about to wipe away my tears, and suddenly I saw a big red mark in the cloth, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I burst out laughing. Laughing forward and backward, unable to stand upright.

"You're going to use this as a handkerchief." It turned out that what Han Xin handed her was the letter of appointment given to him by the imperial court, and he could figure it out.

Han Xin said with an embarrassed face; "I'm a man, how can I bring any handkerchiefs, I'm all over my body, and only this thing is cleaner."

Winning can be a cry for a while, a laugh for a while, pear blossoms with rain on a pretty face, but a smile like a flower. Han Xin smiled when he saw her burst into tears, so he explained with a wry smile; "Ke'er, it's not that I don't want to go to you, it's just ...... It's just that it's really inconvenient for me to go to you, and you also know that your identity....... if we have too much contact, I'm afraid the big boss will be suspicious. ”

In fact, Han Xin didn't say it all, he had another reason, which was that he was faintly afraid that he would get along too much with Ying Ke and shake his determination.

Of course, this can't be said in front of Win.

Ying Ke's face was a little gloomy, and he bowed his head and said; "I actually know it, but I really can't help but want to come to you, I've listened to you all this time, and I haven't mentioned those things to my uncle again."

Han Xin nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Ke'er, remember my words, don't hope too much for others, even if you are as close as flesh and blood, in front of interests, you will compromise." ”

Ying Ke heard that Han Xin seemed to be pointing something, in fact, from Wang Li's attitude for more than a year, she had already felt that Wang Li was perfunctory to herself, so she nodded solemnly and said: "Well, I know, in the future, I will only trust Brother Han and you alone." ”

Han Xin smiled slightly and asked again; "So what are you going to do now?"

Ying Ke tilted his cheeks sideways, and his eyes were shining, "Aren't you going home?" I'm fine, so I'll walk with you for a while. ”

Han Xin laughed; "Okay."

The two walked side by side on the street, and they were born early, so there weren't too many of them.

"Brother Han, in fact, the last time you came back triumphantly, I was in the crowd to greet you, but there were too many people, you definitely didn't see it."

Ying Ke smiled sweetly and said; "I just said that you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to come back with a big victory, and my uncle is still worried about my cousin all day long."

Han Xin laughed, picked out some interesting things on the journey and talked about Winke, and made Winke giggle along the way.

The road was not far, and it didn't take much to reach Han Xin's place where he lived, but he saw a Qin general waiting outside the door.

Han Xin recognized this person, it was one of Wang Li's personal guards, and wondered if Wang Li had something to summon him. He greeted him and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, I don't know what the marshal has to say." ”

When Wang Jian saw Han Xin coming, his face was overjoyed. But when he saw Ying Ke beside him, he was slightly stunned, as if he was a little unexpected, and when he saw Han Xin asking him, he hurriedly replied: "General Han, the marshal has something important to summon you to the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

"Dashuai suddenly summoned me at this time, but what's the matter?"

"This ...... The lower officials are not very clear, General Han went to the Chinese army's big tent with his humble position, and he knew when he saw the marshal. ”

Han Xin nodded and said, "Okay, then there is Captain Lao Wang." ”

"Your Excellency is gracious, please."

Ying Ke on the side suddenly interjected: "Is my uncle in the big tent of the Chinese army?" ”

Wang Jian bowed his head and replied, "Miss Hui's words, the adults are in the Chinese army." ”

"Oh." Ying Ke nodded, "Uncle hasn't been home for a few days, and it just so happens that my aunt has something to find my uncle, so I'll go with you." ”

"This ......" Wang Jian looked embarrassed and said hesitantly;" Miss, I'm afraid this is a little inconvenient. ”

"What's inconvenient." Ying Ke glared at him, "I said yes, and don't blame me for being rude to you." ”

Wang Xiaojian had no choice but to nod and agree, stretched out his hand and patted it, and a few horses were brought by soldiers in the distance, and the three of them turned over and ran towards the Chinese army.

Outside the camp gate, Wang Jianle stopped, pointed to Xiying and said to Ying Ke: "Miss, the marshal is working in that big tent, if you have something, you can go to the marshal first." ”

Han Xinqi Dao; "Didn't the commander summon me?"

"Such General Han, the marshal said that there is a new appointment for you, so I hope you are dressed neatly, and then formally convene all the adults to appoint you in person, you go with me to change your clothes and armor first."

"Oh." Han Xin nodded, a little confused about what Wang Li meant. and look at the winning road; "Ke'er, you go first, I'll look for you in a few days."

Ying Kezou frowned and said, "You won't lie to me this time." ”

"How dare you."

Ying Ke snorted lightly, and then turned his horse's head and left, while Han Xin followed Wang Jian to continue to move forward.

After entering the barracks, they were not allowed to walk in the camp on horseback, so Han Xin and Wang Jian both dismounted and went on foot.

Han Xin followed him for a while, but the more he walked, the more strange it became, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he stopped. Wang Jian, who was walking in front, saw that he had stopped, so he also stopped and turned around.

"What's the matter, General Han."

Han Xin stared at him tightly and said slowly; "Tell me, what is the matter with you summoning me with the intention of pretending to be a marshal?"

"General Han is too worried, it's just that it's important, I'm afraid that there will be too many people, so I'm so cautious." Wang Jian bowed, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "General Han, this is a secret letter from the marshal, you will know after reading it." ”

Han Xin was a little surprised, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but saw that Wang Jian suddenly backhanded, and under the letter it turned out to be a dagger, and he pulled out and stabbed Han Xin in the mouth.
