Chapter 11: Han Shin's Greetings (Part II)

Within three days, Liu Bang inspected five military camps one after another, encouraged the Han soldiers, and watched the soldiers practice formations and battlefield battles on the viewing platform, and was very satisfied with the recent training of the Han army.

As soon as he rushed back to the Han Palace, a neighbor trotted in from a distance and arched his hand in front of Liu Bang and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has been waiting in the side hall for a long time with Han Xin. ”

Liu Bang nodded, Xiao He had already mentioned to himself that he would bring Han Xin in the next few days, at this time, Liu Bang couldn't care about his physical and mental exhaustion, got off the car, and hurried to the side hall.

Passing through the long corridor, soon, Liu Bang came to the side hall, in the hall, Xiao He and Han Xin were drinking tea, when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps, Liu Bang had already walked into the side hall, the two hurriedly got up and gave Liu Bang a salute: "I have seen the king." ”

Liu Bang nodded, motioned for the two to sit down, at this time, the two chamberlains followed Liu Bang in, put the new tea that had just been brewed on the table in front of everyone, and then left, and soon, the door of the side hall was slowly closed.

There was a brief silence in the hall, Liu Bang was not in a hurry to speak, he picked up the teacup, gently blew the hot air, took a sip, and then smiled: "Good tea." ”

Liu Bang gently put the teacup on the table, then looked at Han Xin with a smile and asked, "Do you remember this king?" ”

"In the first battle of Fengxiang back then, I followed General Xiang Zhuang and had a relationship with the king." Han Xin arched his hand, Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Why did you come to Hanzhong?" ”

"The king is the true character of the hero, and the person who can compete with the Xiang family in the whole world is none other than the king."

"When the king entered the customs, he hated Zhang Liang, quietly burned the plank road, cut off the king's retreat, and now he wants to get out of the customs, but there is no way out, I don't know if you have a good plan?" Liu Bang asked tentatively.

"Hehe, the king is knowingly asking, if the king only cares about the plank road, why hasn't he sent someone to repair it for so long? I dare assert that the king must have had something else in mind. Han Xin smiled and said nothing, only in his eyes, a little more confident.

Liu Bang took in Han Xin's expression, he hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "If I use the general as the general, can I have a strategy to get out of Hanzhong?" ”

"If the king is willing to listen to me, I can guarantee that the king will walk out of Hanzhong safely and without any obstacles." Han Xin said with a smile.

Even Xiao He, who has always been calm, was not calm at this time, he looked at Han Xin in surprise, and Liu Bang had already been instructed by Zhang Liang to know that Han Xin was out of the customs again, so he did not show his surprise, but he also wanted to hear it, Han Xin's strategy for leaving the customs, so he asked with a smile: "General Han might as well say it directly." ”

"Why doesn't the king pick up hundreds of people and go to repair the plank road?"

"Hundreds? How can hundreds of people repair the boardwalk? Liu Bang was surprised, and Xiao He also echoed: "Yes, even if 50,000 people are allocated, I'm afraid that within three years, the plank road will not be repaired." ”

"King, repair the plank road, just for Zhang Han to see, let him take off his guard, and the real road to the north, I have set in Chencang, from there to the north, can ensure that the king can easily kill back to Guanzhong."

Hearing Han Xin say Chen Cang, Liu Bang immediately got up and drank: "Then the map!" ”

A neighbor hurriedly held the map, walked over, and unfolded the map on the ground, Liu Bang walked over, looked at the map for a while, and soon, his eyes locked on Chen Cang, and asked Han Xin with a smile: "How sure are you?" ”

"Ten percent." Han Xin was full of confidence, Liu Bang thought for a moment, he finally made up his mind, slapped his hand on the map, and shouted: "It's decided, half a month later, I will personally authorize General Han." ”

……

On the second day of the conversation with Han Xin, Liu Bang issued an order to build a high platform on the south bank of the river, which was a move to go north to swear an oath, and then, a rumor arose in Nanzheng that Liu Bang would choose a capable minister among the three armies, grant him the position of general, lead the three armies, and march north.

For a while, everyone was waiting to see who Liu Bang would choose as the general.

Everyone felt that they were the best candidates, whether it was to command the troops or train the troops, they were undoubtedly the best in the Han army.

But Liu Bang's news blockade was too strict, no matter how much everyone inquired, and even used money to buy the servants in the Han Palace, but they found nothing, after all, they could only wait for Liu Bang's next instructions.

Finally, in mid-June, Liu Bang issued a decree to pay homage to the generals, and asked the officers and soldiers of the three armies to gather in front of the altar.

In the early morning of this day, more than 100,000 Han troops were lined up in five phalanxes on the shore of the water, drums and horns were constantly sounding, and red Han flags were fluttering in the wind.

The southeast wind rose, and the dust drifted around, but no one in the Han army hid from the dust, they were all staring at the high altar not far away, and soon, a new general would ascend the altar to receive the reward of the Han king.

This is an extremely glorious moment, and the generals standing at the front of the team are even more excited to look at the high platform, they very much hope that when Liu Bang arrives, they can call their names.

Suddenly, the rumbling of drums and trumpets came to an abrupt end, and a celebrant shouted in front of the altar: "The king has arrived." ”

A team of hundreds of personal guards escorted Liu Bang slowly, beside Liu Bang, Li Shang and Xiao He came on horseback, and when they arrived in front of the altar, all the soldiers of the three armies bowed down: "See the king, may the king be a thousand years old." ”

Liu Bang's chariot happened to stop in front of the altar, Liu Bang stood on the chariot, looked at everyone, and waved his hand upward: "Let's all get up." ”

"King Xie." The soldiers of the three armies got up one after another, and at this time, Liu Bang stepped off the carriage and walked towards the altar with Xiao He and Li Shang.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shang, they seemed to have smelled that Li Shang would be the general this time, and everyone stared at Li Shang with unwillingness and contempt.

Only Li Shiqi squinted his eyes, and he couldn't believe that his younger brother was about to pay homage?

Worshipping generals on the altar has existed since ancient times, but not everyone can encounter this kind of honor.

At this time, Liu Bang ascended the high altar and faced the soldiers of the three armies on the altar, his eyes were cold, and he wandered over everyone, until the celebrant shouted in front of the altar: "The ceremony of worshipping the generals has officially begun." ”

A team of guards holding trays came to the altar, the celebrant took the head and walked to the altar with the guards, until he came to the top of the altar, the celebrant stopped, and the guards bowed their heads and stood aside, at this time, the celebrant looked at Liu Bang and arched his hand: "King, can you start?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Bang nodded, and the celebrant turned to look at the soldiers of the three armies, and shouted, "Han Xin is invited to the altar." ”

This Han letter was beyond everyone's expectations, they originally thought it would be Li Shang, but they didn't expect that Li Shang was just a foil, he came as Liu Bang's personal guard, at this time, in the army, in an inconspicuous place, a small captain Zhili actually ascended the altar of worship.

Although some people's eyes are not envy, but an indescribable jealousy and unwillingness, they can't figure it out, Liu Bang is so time-consuming and laborious, and he is preparing for a small captain Zhili?

Han Xin walked out of the military formation at this time, slowly climbed the high altar, came to Liu Bang, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "The last general, Han Xin, has seen the king." ”

"Han Xin, are you willing to be the most loyal general under the command of this king?"

"The last general wishes to smear his liver and brain, and then die." Han Xin shouted.

"Are you willing to lead the soldiers of the three armies, go out of Hanzhong, expand the territory for this king, and compete with the heroes in the Central Plains?"

"The last general is willing."

Liu Bang nodded with satisfaction, he looked at the celebrant on the side, and ordered, "Let's start." ”

The celebrant took out a bamboo slip from his bosom, unfolded it, and read aloud to everyone: "Since the widow entered the Han Dynasty, he has not forgotten the land of Kanto for a day, the widow was born in Chu, and has never forgotten his homeland, and the soldiers of the widow are the soldiers of Guanzhong and Kanto, although they are loyal to the widow, but it is difficult to live in Hanzhong for a long time, therefore, the widow resolves to raise troops to the north, and then recapture Guanzhong, the people of the three armies, it is difficult to bind, the courage of the three armies, the general needs to be commanded, the battle must be won, and the attack must be overcome, therefore, the widow worships Han Xin as a general, commands the three armies, and Ke Rixing division ......"

The celebrant recited for half an hour, until the celebrant closed the bamboo slip, and the soldiers of the three armies knelt on one knee and shouted: "I am willing to be strong and persistent for the king, and I will die." ”

Liu Bang stood on the high platform, he looked at Han Xin in front of him, and laughed loudly: "This king has officially awarded you the title of General of Han." ”

"King Xie." Han Xin knelt on one knee and thanked him, the guards who had just ascended the altar came over with a plate and stopped in front of Liu Bang, Liu Bang picked up the seal from the tray and handed it to Han Xin: "From today on, you will be in charge of the three armies, and there can be no mistakes." ”

"The end will definitely live up to the king's expectations."

Liu Bang nodded, and handed over the axe, the flag and other things to Han Xin, and finally, Liu Bang untied the sword from his arms, handed it to Han Xin, and faced the soldiers of the three armies, and said loudly: "This king's sword is here, if anyone dares to disobey Han Xin's generals, they can use this sword, cut first and then play, this king will never blame Han Xin." ”

"The king's name." The officers and men of the three armed forces shouted in unison.

After the ceremony, Liu Bang pulled Han Xin and sat down on the soft seat on the high altar, and everyone retreated. ”

"The king, the last general was in the Chu camp, won the trust of General Xiang Zhuang, and already knew that the Chu people had cast weapons with iron, such weapons, long and tough, can easily cut the copper sword, and now, General Xiang Zhuang has worshiped the king of East Chuwei, he will inevitably equip the iron sword with the three armies on a large scale, and in the land of Western Chu, Xiang Yu will also get Xiang Zhuang's funding to improve the armament, at that time, if our army uses copper swords, copper Ge and other weapons, it will inevitably suffer."

Liu Bang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "If so, how can it be good?" ”

"Don't panic, the last general has actually mastered the art of iron smelting, and he has met Xiu Tu in Yi County, and he has to teach him how to smelt iron weapons, as long as the king is willing to authorize me, plus the iron ore in Guanzhong is deep, I can form a part of the strong army in a few months, as for the whole army to equip, I am afraid that it will take time for him to be equipped, or, you can order from the Chu State, the king should not worry."

"After all, Shuzhong is difficult to transport, so you might as well build a logistics base in Guanzhong, what if?" Liu Bang asked again.

Han Xin nodded and said: "This is also what the minister is worried about, but please rest assured, the minister will deploy troops and fortresses, open up straight roads, and in less than two years, more iron ore will continue to be sent to Guanzhong, and the Han Kingdom will be prosperous." ”
