Gao Rang looked like an honest man, but he had a lot of calculations in his heart.

But he also knows that if people want to plan a thing, the more links, the greater the possibility of failure.

Even if there is no last resort, the more difficult it will be to do it.

Take the Han Emperor's battle of Changshan as an example, whether it is the Ming Open Market, the secret digging tunnel, the thunder plus the body, the pincer Zhang Yiping, and the water master outflanking.

This series of plans, as long as one link fails, may not be so smooth, eat the Jiaozhi army, so as to directly take the county seat of Jiaozhi.

The key to being too risky, and often successful, is to make a final decision.

Even if some masters of scheming really plan a large game of chess, they may not be able to calculate every move in the chess game accurately.

It's like a person planning an important thing in life.

Even if you make a careful and detailed plan, it is possible that when it comes to action, there will be many surprises.

Many times, it is still necessary to take a step and see a step.

Therefore, Gao Rang's approach is very simple.

Hongmen banquet, directly poisoned, clean and neat.

Moreover, before, Emperor Han had a banquet for the leaders of South Vietnam in the military camp.

This also made Gao Rang make a certain prediction about what would happen when he had another banquet.

Yes, even if you ambush the axemen, it may not be possible.

If you dance a sword, it is tantamount to playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong.

is not only the Han Emperor who can lift the throne, but also the Dianchu who guards him, and the eight hundred elite imperial guards.

With the ability of these people, even if Emperor Han didn't do anything, just to help the fun, it was enough to directly fight a bloody way.

But poisoning is different.

Gao Rang is bound to win this.

It doesn't matter if you are strong or unparalleled in archery, a glass of poisonous wine in your stomach, you still have to die.

And as soon as Emperor Han died, his goal was achieved.

Even if the Han army outside the city went crazy because of this, and even lost their minds and slaughtered the city directly, causing the Jiaozhi country to be slaughtered, it didn't matter.

It's all about him.

He had been on good terms with Donghu a few years ago, and he was a man of the Great Khan.

Besides, it's just the right thing to do, to cover up for his poisoning.

The country of Jiaozhi has been defeated, the army is gone, and there is no chance of turning the tables at all.

From the perspective of the country of Jiaozhi, no one will do anything at the banquet.

If you make a move, even if you can really do what to the Han Emperor, in the face of the Han army outside the city, you will definitely die.

Therefore, the Han army will inevitably not be more vigilant against this.

And because of the Han Emperor's great victory, tens of thousands of prisoners, and the incompetence and flattery shown by the Jiaozhi monarch, he will naturally be arrogant and arrogant in his heart, so he will relax his vigilance.

It's all an opportunity!

Gao Rang is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of the royal family and people in Jiaozhi country, how will it end up in the end.

What he cared about was that as soon as the Han Emperor died, it would be enough to buy half a month for the Great Khan.

As for being despised after being poisoned, he doesn't care about such trivial things.

People are going to die, and they still care about fame?

Wait for the Great Khan to destroy the Great Han, and then remember his exploits, and if you can't keep it, you have to set up a monument!

For this reason, Gao Rang even went to the artificial water feature in person, played the guqin, and grilled skewers.

Not to mention, Liu Ke was attracted.

At first glance, it's quite abstract, but what is it?

But when I calmed down and took a closer look, this scene was really a bit fairy.

You think, next to a beautiful artificial water feature, flowing water.

With the melodious sound of the guqin, the whole water feature is murmuring, and the atmosphere is more peaceful and charming.

From time to time, there is a faint smoke wafting up.

The green smoke, the sound of the water, and the sound of the piano merge into an indescribable beauty, which is amazing.

Just smell the aroma of barbecue in the smoke, and you will have more and more appetite.

"I'll have a drink with you!"

Liu Ke couldn't help but move his index fingers, so he simply drank a lot of etiquette and then began to feast.

When Gao Rang saw this, he knew that the time had come.

He immediately stopped the guqin in his hand, hurriedly stepped forward, and poured the wine himself.

Others pour, he is not at ease.

This wine is exquisite.

The mandarin duck pot has a partition in the middle of the wine jug, which divides the jug into two, one side holds ordinary wine, and the other side holds poisonous wine.

It is said that Lu Pheasant did this back then, and after she made the young Liu Gong the emperor, she was worried that the young emperor Liu Gong's biological mother, Empress Zhang, would endanger her power.

Lu Pheasant took the Jiuqu Mandarin Duck Pot hidden in the deep palace, filled it with poisonous wine, and during the banquet in the palace, he turned the mechanism, causing Empress Zhang to be poisoned to death without noticing.

The handle of the pot has a mechanism, and with a little operation, you can use one pot to pour two different glasses of wine.

Gao Rang covered the handle of the pot with his cuffs, secretly operated it, and poured out the drink.

Liu Ke noticed the difference in the pot, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and sighed:

"It's a little thing."

Gao Jean nodded yes:

"This is also the work of the craftsman who made the waterscape."

Liu Ke smiled dumbly, sure enough, it is the same as the artificial water feature, this pot is also quite abstract.

White forehead goblot.

The body of the pot is a common wine pot in the Han Dynasty and can be loaded with wine.

But under the body of the pot, there are three more feet than the ordinary wine jug.

The upper body is in the shape of a pot, and the lower body is the structure of a wine jue.

It can not only pour wine like a wine jug, but also hold it up and drink it like a wine jue.

Gao Rang was also embarrassed.

If he had to do it, he didn't want to use such an eye-catching white-fronted gospot to pour wine.

But this mandarin duck pot is all hidden in the deep palace, where is he going to get it?

It is this pot, the design of half pot and half jue, which allowed him to improve one or two and become the structure of the mandarin duck pot.

Gao Rang took a sip first, indicating that there was no problem.

But it was just a small sip, and I didn't drink much.

In order to poison more hidden, he added arsenic to the wine.

This arsenic is not colorless and odorless, but it has a very light taste.

It's hard for ordinary people to smell it, even if it's not ordinary people, those with smart noses can't smell it if they don't pay attention.

He was also afraid that he would accidentally make a mistake.

And this pot is remodeled, and it is not impossible for the wall of the pot to leak something.

It's not good to drink a little arsenic wine yourself.

Gao Rang is of course having the will to die.

But after the deed was completed, being killed by the angry Han army and being poisoned by oneself were completely different things!

Several of the surrounding courtiers, as well as a few imperial guards who entered the palace with Liu Ke, also drank together, and drank them all together.

Dian Chu didn't drink it, and this small wine glass was not enough for him to take half a sip.

It's not interesting to drink like this.

He looked at the white-fronted goblet in Gao Rang's hand, a little distracted.

It has the large capacity of the flask and the elegance of holding up the jue.

Real men, you should drink with this!

Gao Rang's scalp was numb when he was seen by Dian Chu, and he thought he had been recognized.

Fortunately, Liu Ke didn't think much about it, [Poison Resistance] plus [Hongmen Banquet], he was the only one in the banquet who poisoned others, and it was impossible for him to be poisoned.

Therefore, he was extremely heroic and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Majesty is bold!"

When those courtiers saw this, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Of course, they surrendered to the country, but the Han Emperor also gave them due courtesy.

Seeing this, Gao Rang couldn't help but admire, the Han Emperor treated people with sincerity, no wonder he was able to win people's hearts.

But this man is too sincere, and he is easy to die.

He resisted the excitement in his heart, suppressed his thoughts, ate something, and waited for the arsenic to attack.

Waited a while.

Nothing happened.

Something is wrong??

Gao Rang took a serious look at the Han Emperor who was eating with relish.

Not only did he not feel the slightest discomfort, but looking at the eager appearance, he might even want to play the guqin and grill the skewers by himself.

A small amount of arsenic is enough to kill, and even if it is mixed with alcohol, it is impossible to do so long without adverse reactions.

That is, it was not poisoned at all??

Gao Rang glanced around again.

He was sure he had pulled the mechanism once and poured a glass of poisoned wine.

But the courtiers are fine.

The Han army guards are fine.

That.

He couldn't help but look into his glass, and only took a sip of the drink.

Everyone else drinks it all in one gulp, and it's all right.

That's yourself.

This sip of wine does not contain much arsenic, and the effect will not be so fast.

Gao Rang glanced at Emperor Han, who was still enjoying himself.

The heart is full of unwillingness.

How could this nirvana, which is clean and simple, fail?

The civil and military people in the hall who eat, drink, and have fun are like a great irony to him.

Gao Rang wanted to do it all over again.

It never occurred to him that he would be the culprit of the failure of the scheme.

I never thought that pouring a glass of poisoned wine would be wrong when I stepped on a horse???

At this point, he only felt dizzy for a while, and then it turned into a headache.

Even the muscles in my body began to ache, and my hands and feet were a little uncontrollable.

Even began to recall the old days.

From the unnoticeable civil servants in the court, to Shihai's ascension to the throne, he was reused and began to emerge.

and then joined forces with Zhang Yiping to quell the rebellion in the country with one article and one force.

In just five years, he has gone from a small official to a minister who is in charge of the military and politics of a country.

Therefore, it was also favored by the Great Khan of Donghu.

It's a pity, it's a

However, Gao Rang finally raised a trace of anticipation.

If he dies, will that waste monarch make a feud with the Han because of this?

Although the monarch did not dare to be hostile to the Han and had already thought of surrendering, seeing that the important ministers of the court were poisoned to death at the banquet, he would inevitably have some suspicions about the Han, right?

For the sake of his own life, maybe he can delay the Han army for some time.

Half a month.

As long as it is delayed for half a month, the Great Khan can succeed!

"Okay, Gao Xiangguo, a glass of wine, why not?"

Originally, Shihai was still flattering, but now he has a sneer.

All of a sudden, he showed a bit of heroism, and he came to Gao Rang's side in a few steps.

Shihai directly poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all.

Unabashedly, he pulled the mechanism on the handle of the pot, poured himself another glass, and drank it all in one fell swoop.

"Your arsenic-mixed wine has long been replaced by this king."

"With this king here, how could he let you kill Your Majesty?!"

Saying that, Shihai took the wine jug and smashed it directly on Gao Rang's head, and after smashing it unconscious, he turned around and faced Liu Ke.

Only this time, there is no flattery.

His young face, although there was still an overindulgent emptiness and paleness, his temperament had changed.

"Gao Rang colluded with Donghu, intending to poison and murder Your Majesty, which is felt by this king, and please deal with it by Your Majesty!"

"Huh?"

Liu Ke put down the skewers in his hand, and his eyes were a little more solemn.

I seem to despise the world a little.

[Name: Shihai (Bangshi)]

[Age: 22]

[Command: 58; Force: 67; Wisdom: 94; Governance: 94]

[Characteristics: Shoucheng, lustful, Tianzhu God Toshi, acting]

This is indeed the ability that the king of a country should have.

Shihai is not a cowardly and lustful incompetent king, as rumored.

Liu Ke suddenly smiled and said:

"I never realized that you still have this ability."

"Five years ago, your brother committed suicide and was succeeded by you, and then there was a rebellion in Jiuzhen County."

"Among them, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

He found himself missing a point.

The literature and martial arts in the country of Cochin are indeed very talented.

But Gao Rang was reused after Shihai succeeded to the throne, and Zhang Yiping also quelled the rebellion in Jiuzhen County before becoming a general.

In other words, before Shihai succeeded to the throne, these two people couldn't do anything at all.

And a monarch who can successfully ascend to the throne on his own, no matter how you think about it, it will not be too simple.

Shihai did not reply.

Some things don't have to be put on the bright side.

"Your Majesty."

The guards beside Liu Ke, as well as the guards, were vigilant in their hearts.

This doesn't look right!

Liu Ke waved his hand, [Hongmen Banquet] plus [Superb Promotion], he was almost invincible at the banquet.

He just walked up to Shihai lightly and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

"Lu Sa."

Shihai took a half step back, signaling his subordinates to salute, not daring to offend the Han Emperor.

At the same time, he called out calmly, and Lu Shi, who looked too abstract, walked into the hall.

"Tell Your Majesty about the current situation in Donghu."

Lu Sa didn't say much, dipped in wine, and drew on the ground with a pen.

He actually drew a map, mountains and rivers, without half a point of error.

He's a little on the ground.

"This is the position of the Great Khan of Donghu."

"Gaozhou?!"

Liu Ke was shocked, the way that the Great Khan of Donghu chose to deal with the contradictions of the Eight Divisions and the way to solve the Han Dynasty turned out to be a pro-Zheng.

This was somewhat unexpected.

"So, the Great Khan of Donghu will die soon?"

"Not bad."

Shihai nodded and said:

"The Great Khan of Donghu is old and frail, and he has a serious illness, and he only has a life span of one or two years at most."

Liu Ke couldn't help but glance at Shihai, it seems that in the past few years of delegating power and indulging in lust, Shihai has not really done nothing:

"You know that."

Shi Hai's face did not change, and continued:

"The Great Khan of Donghu has always been in close contact with Gao Rang, and this king was also lucky to learn about it."

"Fluke?"

Liu Ke didn't believe it.

I am afraid that all of Gao Rang's actions are under the close supervision of Shihai.

This Lu Sa seems to be Gao Rang's henchman, but now he obeys Shihai's words.

It's obvious which side of the people it is.

Before, Shihai himself was dissolute, and the appearance of a faint monarch also made the Donghu people relax their vigilance.

And with the high-level concessions in charge of the military and political affairs of the country, the monarch is equivalent to a puppet.

The Donghu people will not care too much about Jiaozhi, but will focus on attacking the Han Dynasty, and the Jiaozhi country will be preserved.

If not, either Shihai himself will directly be a dog for the Donghu people.

Either the Donghu people led troops to attack and forcibly took the country of Jiaozhi.

This also made Shihai assure that although he himself has been eating, drinking, and having fun, he has a bad reputation.

But Jiaozhi has always been surnamed "Shi", and there is no need to be a dog for the Donghu people.

And in the current situation, the Jiaozhi Kingdom has been destroyed, and Shihai can still push the pot to Gao Rang.

Although he had calculations in his heart, Shihai still did his best to be courteous, but his every move was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued:

"The Great Khan of Donghu has clearly ordered Gao Rang, asking him to delay the Han army for half a month no matter what."

"That's why Gao Rang will not hesitate to kill and poison His Majesty."

"If you want to come to the heart of the Great Khan of Donghu, there must be a way to destroy the Han in half a month."

"I hope Your Majesty knows the priorities here."

Liu Ke frowned.

The Great Khan of Donghu came too quickly, and he had already shortened the time to attack Jiaozhi as much as possible, and it was only more than two months, and he was still caught up.

It seems that the old dog plans to destroy the Han in his lifetime.

Twenty years later, the Great Khan of Donghu once again made his personal expedition, and this alone was enough to stabilize the eight divisions.

As long as you can destroy the Han Dynasty within a few years.

When the time comes, the Great Khan will die, and the eight departments of Donghu will be chaotic, and they will have to go their own way, and there will basically be no big chaos.

It seems that this time, the Great Khan of Donghu was indeed determined to conquer in person.

Liu Ke knew that the situation was urgent, but he still didn't show it on his face.

You Shihai has a [acting] characteristic, and we have more than one destiny for acting!

"The saber of the Great Khan of Donghu is on my body, and this time it is a personal expedition, I will use his saber to cut off his dog's head."

Shihai was not frightened, and still said in a clear manner:

"Donghu is all in the Central Plains, even though the Great Khan of Donghu can only mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Qiyan Department now, and his prestige is not as good as it was back then."

"But the elite Tiefutu of the Qiyan Division, who had swept through countless Han troops, also went with him."

"If the Great Khan of Donghu can play an advantage in Gaozhou and reverse the previous decline, the other seven Khan kings will inevitably look to the wind."

"Is Your Majesty really sure to resist?"
