Chapter Twenty-Six: Loce
Xiang Yu gave Liu Bang time to breathe, so Liu Bang didn't even return to Guanzhong, and stayed directly in the important town of Xingyang.
The princes of the world have thoroughly seen the situation, and the position of the co-lord of the world is either Han or Chu, and everyone can only choose one among them.
Originally, the strength of the Qi State was also strong, but after the King of Qi killed the nobles, a large-scale civil war broke out in the Qi State, and the national strength declined instantly.
Coupled with Xiang Yu's contribution to the flames, the country of Qi is very empty, and the king of Qi is full of fighting spirit, and now he can certainly guess this kind of ending.
Although he did not have the strength to dominate the world, it was no problem to attack the Chu army in the rear, Xiang Yu slipped back to the city to defend when he came, and Xiang Yu attacked the rear of the Chu army when he left.
With such a thought, the King of Qi sent an envoy to Liu Bang, first informed Lu Ze, Lu Ze was overjoyed, if he could really form an alliance, this was his big help, and there were only a few people in the Lu clan who could really verify it, of course, they had to unite.
And as Xiang Ying's gunpowder smoke dissipated, Empress Lu and Liu Ying did not die, but the news that Xiang Yu was imprisoned in Xiang Ying with princely gifts also came out.
Since Xiang Yu doesn't kill now, then he can find an opportunity to exchange Lu Pheasant and Liu Ying back, even if he wants to go bankrupt, Lu Ze is also willing.
King Qi's alliance shocked the world, and when Xiang Yu had the advantage, there were still princes who dared to stand on the opposite side of Xiang Yu.
Liu Bang took advantage of the situation to contact the heroes who had been hesitating such as the King of Jiujiang, and Xiang Yu was also contacting these people, but unfortunately the reputation of the two was not at the same level at all, and the lobbyists were not at the same level, and these people attached themselves to Liu Bang one after another.
Liu Bang held on to Xingyang for nearly a year, but the gap in hard power between Chu and Han was still very large, and in the end, the grain route was cut off, so he could only retreat, and was chased and defeated by Xiang Yu, and the group could only flee again.
This time, Luo was not by Liu Bang's side, but contacted other princes for him to stabilize the military spirit of the alliance, and Zhang Liang and others were enough in the army.
Liu Bang frowned and sighed: "Defeated again, Xiang Yu is too strong, where to find the army to continue to defend now?" ”
Zhang Liang saw that although Liu Bang was discouraged, but his courage was not dissipated, after such a big defeat, what he wanted in his heart was to continue fighting, and he couldn't help but admire: "The king is really a masterpiece, indomitable, if you can't succeed, it is unreasonable." ”
At this time, Lu Juan suddenly rushed in and said happily: "King, the general destroyed tens of thousands of troops of Wei in one battle, broke through the capital of Wei in three days, killed the king of Wei, and captured the cities of Wei in another month. ”
Liu Bang and Zhang Liang glanced at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, Han Xin only brought 10,000 people when he left, although according to the consumption of grain and grass, there are almost 100,000 people now, but there is basically no difference between so many recruits and none.
A month ago, Han Xin was still wandering in the Wei Kingdom, and there was no progress, which is also in line with Liu Bang's cognition, who knew that the situation would be reversed to this point in a blink of an eye, but if it was true, it would be too timely.
Liu Bang suddenly thought of something, and then glanced at Zhang Liang, and found that Zhang Liang was also looking at him, and said softly: "Borrow soldiers." ”
Liu Bang nodded slowly, the top priority now is to block Xiang Yu, Han Xin's army is very important.
……
Liu Bang wanted to enter Han Xin's army directly in the early morning, Han Xin had no cronies, the generals in the army were all Liu Bang's people, and it was easy for Liu Bang to get in and out of here.
Then everyone didn't expect that in the middle of the Chinese army camp, they saw a completely unexpected person - Luo Cai!
Luo Cai was sitting on the side, wearing an elegant robe, she was really a peerless woman, but she only felt shocked in the eyes of everyone.
"The King."
Luo Cai bowed slightly, and laughed softly: "The monarch came here, but the courtiers did not go to receive him, this is not etiquette, and I apologize to you for Han Xin." ”
Although her words are soft, there are faint thorns in them, and there is a smile on her beautiful face, but there is a sharp edge in her eyes.
A delicate and delicate woman, standing in the hall, was so dignified that most of the people in shock did not dare to speak.
Liu Bang wasn't afraid, but he felt a little embarrassed, this kind of thing was actually caught, but he was thick-skinned and immediately began to make things up.
"Lady of the Luo family, the situation is really critical, the widow came all the way, and even the horses ran to death two horses, it was too eager, so I didn't have time to inform Zimu, if there is a next time, I will definitely not come without telling you."
Liu Bang explained that the most important thing now is to explain his intentions clearly.
Of course, Luo Cai knew what kind of person Liu Bang was, and she didn't believe his words at all, but she understood that the matter should end here.
So he suddenly realized and said: "I see, the king please sit down, and the concubine will send someone to summon Han Xin." ”
Liu Bang saw that he couldn't directly capture the army, so he could only sit in the hall, waiting for Han Xin's arrival, Zhang Liang and others were even more uneasy, these people still knew Han Xin very well, and they were sure about this matter, but no one thought that Luo Cai was so important, and it turned out to be like this.
Han Xin was awakened from his sleep, and when he heard that Liu Bang had suddenly come to the army, and now he was in the lobby of the Chinese army, he hurriedly got up and asked, "Where is Cai Niang, go and call Cai Niang to come." ”
The attendant immediately said, "The lady of the Luo family is already in the lobby. ”
Han Xin paused, then sped up and hurried to the lobby, and when he saw Liu Bang, he immediately bowed down and said: "Xin to meet the king, the king is coming, and it is really a sin that Xin failed to meet him from afar. ”
Liu Bang picked up Han Xin and said: "The great general has made a great contribution to the destruction of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the widow is thinking about how to reward you for your great merit." ”
Han Xin hurriedly said: "The king dragged Xiang Yu in Xingyang, so he had this merit of Xin, and Xin really didn't dare to take credit." ”
After Han Xin finished speaking, he looked at Luo Cai, these words were taught to him by Luo Cai when he attacked the Western Wei Kingdom, but he didn't expect Liu Bang to really say these words to be rewarded heavily.
Luo Cai blinked slightly, and Han Xin was hugged by Liu Bang and sat on the side of the main seat, and Han Xin woke up like a dream and asked, "King, you suddenly came to the letter camp, but is there anything important?" ”
Liu Bang was not embarrassed, and said directly: "Zimu, Xiang Yu is really strong, and the widow held on for nearly a year, and finally was defeated in Xingyang.
But the widow does not give in, that is, he wants to fight to the death with Xiang Yu, there are countless important towns in the west of Xingyang, and the widow wants to see if Xiang Yu can conquer them one by one.
But the problem is that there is really no elite in your hands who can fight, so if you want to transfer troops to Zimu, you have extraordinary talents, and this group of recruits has been trained into elites in just a few months.
Presumably the same will be the case in the future, thinking about it, only Zimu can help the widow to rise again. ”
Han Xin was silent, although I am indeed training fast, but there is still a limit, in the stage of preparing to attack Zhao, most of the elites were suddenly withdrawn, then it was necessary to use new soldiers to attack Zhao, Han Xin felt a little pressure.
However, if you can use these elites to drag Xiang Yu and give him time to develop, then these costs will be worth it.
Especially Liu Bang reused him, he was kind to him, and he should be repaid, thinking of this, Han Xin immediately said: "King, Han Xin is just a cloth cloth, but you promise it as a general, if you don't repay your kindness, I'm afraid that heaven will be intolerable."
Now there are 100,000 troops in the camp, you take 80,000 horses away, and the minister takes 20,000 people, recruit new soldiers from Western Wei, and then go straight to Zhaodi.
When the minister takes Zhao Land, the Jin Land of the mountains and rivers in the table will be all in your control, and with Guanzhong and Jin Land, even if it is Xiang Yu, it will not be your opponent. ”
When Liu Bang heard this, a rare trace of guilt flashed in his heart, and he felt that it was not good for him to bully honest people like this, Han Xin was indeed a grateful person.
However, his extremely strong psychological quality quickly erased this trace of guilt, and he thought in his heart that when he was rewarded in the future, he would definitely put Han Xin at the top of the list of meritorious heroes.
When Liu Bang left, Han Xin felt that something was wrong, and asked in hindsight: "Cai Niang, why do I think something is wrong." ”
Luo Cai felt that Han Xin's stupid state was very good, the king liked him like this, there was no threat, and with today's own deterrence, there must be fewer dark arrows shooting at Han Xin.
So he laughed softly: "Don't think too much, beloved, this time to help the King of Han, this is not inferior to the great achievement of destroying Wei, and even the loyalty you show today is more important than your defeat of Wei."
If you can destroy the Zhao Dynasty, or even defeat Xiang Yu, the world's historians will be out of the Luo clan, and you will be written in the history books, far more than all the generals in the past will be remembered by future generations.
You will have countless well-known titles, the words God, Saint, and Immortal will fall on you, you will be the first in the world, and people will still remember you thousands of years later. ”
Han Xin's blood boiled when he said this, he believed Luo Cai's words, and the pen was in Luo's hand, and now he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army to rush to Zhao and lay down Xiang Yu's Zhao Wanggan.
Luo Cai looked at Han Xin in front of him, the invincible god of war on the battlefield, but he was a stupid boy who was so easily agitated, I am afraid many people could not think of it.
Following.
Han Xin looked at the empty barracks, but he was still in high spirits, but he just started over, the second king of the Zhao Dynasty, wait for death.
