Chapter Seventy-Five: Breathe a sigh of relief

"Zhong Lixuan?

That's the enemy that our emperor hates, and the whole country has offered a reward for more than half a year, but he still hasn't been caught.

A few months ago, he privately contacted Han Xin, the king of Chu, and was reported by the king of Chu, but he missed it by a fraction and let him run away again.

Why did Da Shan ask about this person? ”

Liu Jing's mouth opened wide in shock, and he could see that his surprised reaction was indeed from the heart.

Maudon listened to his answer, and seemed interested, but did not answer his question directly,

"Why does your emperor hate him so much?"

"Well, this one, this person was originally a general under the command of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and he was very brave.

At the beginning, the emperor took advantage of the victory to pursue Xiang Yu's defeated army, chased all the way to Guling, caught up with him to defend the city, and was stunned that he did not attack it.

The emperor had few defeats in his life, but he was defeated by Zhong Lixuan, so he hated him to the bone. ”

In fact, Liu Ji has suffered a lot of defeats in his life, especially in many battles he personally commanded, and the results are indescribable, but at this time, in front of the Huns, Liu Jing must help the emperor save face.

He also knew that the reason why Liu Ji hated Zhong Liwei was not because he had suffered defeat, but because Zhong Liwei's persistence had put the Han army in an unprecedented predicament:

After quietly tearing up the Chu-Han contract, this pursuit, which was carefully planned by Liu Ji and followed the retreat route of the Chu army, was finally intercepted alive by Zhong Liwei outside Guling City.

The Han army's triumphant pursuit of victory was interrupted in the middle of the battle of Guling, and then completely reversed, turning into a reckless situation of a lone army going deep behind enemy lines.

It was precisely because of such a difficult and dangerous situation that Liu Ji had to add rewards to Peng Yue and Han Xin again, and even did not hesitate to tear the soil to seal the king, in exchange for the belated meeting of the two of them, which solved the urgent need.

Who would have thought that the breeze at the end of Qingping would cause a storm in the unknown distance.

It can be said that among the seven vassal states that were separated from Germany, at least Peng Yue's Liang State and Han Xin's Chu State were indirectly caused by Zhong Lihuan-

The source of many of Emperor Liu Ji's troubles today is simply because Zhong Liwei is too capable of fighting.

Liu Ji also took advantage of the situation to count all the pickled anger he received in front of the king with a different surname on Zhong Li's head, and the nationwide search of him seemed to be endless.

After listening to Liu Jingwen's pretending answer, Mao Dun laughed again, laughing at the pedantic and rigid envoy of Middle-earth.

He was reluctant to state the emperor's defeat in person, so he could only tactfully detour, but between the lines, he still revealed Zhong Lixuan's power.

Mao Dun had an idea in his heart, he nodded, and motioned for Lao Nie to go down with him.

Before Liu Jinglin came out of the account, he shook again,

"With Zhong Liyuan's whereabouts, he will definitely be able to exchange for another hundred Qiluo.

This transaction is very good for large orders. ”

Just twitched the corners of his mouth, did not make a sound, and made a noncommittal statement.

Mao Dun Shan Yu's source is naturally not only Liu Jing and Lao Nie.

But Liu Jing's natural reaction that he couldn't hide also proved from the side once again from the side that Zhong Lixuan, who came all the way to surrender to Cheng hidden in the remote tent in the distance, was a valuable talent.

Perhaps, it is also the person who Mao Dun can directly contact at this moment and has the most comprehensive understanding of the Han army.

***

After walking out of the king's tent, Lao Nie stared at Liu Jing with an unprecedented serious expression, and then shook his head and praised,

"You, tsk, the real person doesn't show up.

Those words just now, changed my mind, even if I pondered for 10,000 years, I couldn't think of it.

Is our emperor around you all day long? ”

While boasting, he secretly complained that Zhao Cheng Prime Minister Zhang Cang and General Chen Xian, the two old leaders, why didn't they reveal the truth of this envoy to themselves, and those who could be given the surname of the country by the emperor would be idle people?

Fortunately, I was quite respectful and polite to him along the way, and I didn't neglect the nobles.

Liu Jing walked away after the ghost gate, and he was also a little frightened, and returned to his previous cautious appearance, smiling embarrassedly,

"What am I, the ones in the court, you haven't seen them, they are all geniuses.

It's just that some are in front of the stage, and some are in the back...... Behind the scenes. ”

He looked down and thought about it, and then said,

"Looks like I'm not going to be dragged to death by a horse for a while.

Can you help me talk to the Da Yan clan, find a herdsman who can speak Chinese, and teach me some Xiongnu dialect.

I'm probably going to have to come and go more often in the future. ”

What they didn't know was that inside the big white felt tent at this time, it was a different scene.

Zhong Lixuan, who was hated by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was sitting on the side of Mao Dun, and became a veritable guest of honor.

Zhong Liwei has lost count, this is the first time he has seen Mao Dun, only to notice that Shan Yu's attitude is more respectful than ever, and today, he actually gives himself a place to sit.

He is also a good general who has been through a hundred battles, so he naturally understands that this is because Shan Yu gradually believed in his identity and his status in Han after many investigations and verifications.

He nodded to the prince congee sitting opposite, picked up the hot milk tea, took a big sip, and quietly waited for Mao Dun to ask.

"I have something to ask you, and you have to tell the truth."

Mao Dun's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and he got straight to the point,

"Emperor Han or Zang Di, who is more powerful?"

***

Every time he served as Zhong Li's translator, he was a fixed old Xiongnu, who was far less fluent in Chinese than Lao Nie, but obviously he was a person who he believed in.

They are all people who lead troops to fight, and Mao Dun seems to be rough, but he is so cautious.

Zhong Liwei thought about it, pricked up his ears to listen to the old man's translation, and finally understood, but his heart sank, and he understood the meaning of this question.

In the face of the scheming Shan Yu, Zhong Liwei had already figured out a strategy, in ten percent of the words, at least eighty percent, or even ninety percent of the truth, and then mixed with one percent of the falsehoods, it was possible to win his trust.

"Compared to these two people, the Han Emperor is even more powerful.

With Zang Di's intelligence, he was not worthy of being the lord of a country, he was just lucky, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the old Yan King to usurp his throne. ”

Han Guang, the old king of Yan, is the lord of Yan who is personally sealed by Chen Sheng, who is heroic, righteous and chivalrous, and has won the hearts of the people in Yandi.

Later, when Xiang Yu divided the world, he was worried that the Yan country was powerful, so he made a hindrance and changed Han Guang's general Zang Tu as the king of Yan, but moved Han Guang to the king of Liaodong.

Han Guang was not convinced, and was reluctant to relocate, so he happened to give the upstart Zang Di an excuse to kill him, and he occupied Yan and Liaodong, and he was in the limelight for a while.

"Since Emperor Han is so powerful, why is he still defeated by you?"

Maudun's eyes flickered grimly, and he continued to ask.

"The Emperor of Han has a very poor strategy for arranging troops, that is, the level of an ordinary general, with a maximum of 100,000 soldiers.

If it were just me and him, one-on-one, alone, he would not be my opponent.

However, he knows people well, and he is willing to take out good things to make deals with people, and he does not hesitate to do it at critical moments.

Therefore, he has the best talents in the world and works for him. ”

"Hmm......"

Mao Dun stroked his chin, pondering Zhong Lixi's words, and felt that there was some truth, which also coincided with a lot of information he had learned from the side.

"So, this battle between the Han Emperor and the Yan Kingdom seems to have been won?"

"Yes, in the first battle after the founding of the country, the Han Emperor will definitely raise the strength of the whole country and lead countless generals to conquer in person, and he will definitely win, and he can only win."

"Then, if the Emperor of Han sends an envoy to me to make peace, do you think it is true or false?"

"Is it true or falseβ€”"

Zhongli paused for a moment, raised his eyes and said,

"β€”β€”Whether it's true or not, Da Danyu might as well follow the trend.

When they brought them good things, they took them all.

If you feel that the gift is not good, send troops to spur them on and ask them to give more.

Anyway, the Huns did not lose money, and they could still reap benefits without spending a single soldier. ”

Zhong Lixuan's words fully stood on the position of the Xiongnu, which was also his strategy to discuss with Zhang Liang, Lu Shizhi and Han Xin before leaving.

"When I get over there, as long as it's not a big deal, even if I suffer a little loss, it won't be in the way.

At this point, the queen said, in the future, when the sky falls, she will be on top, you just have to let it go.

Your immediate priority is to get Maudon to trust you as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Liang's wrinkled old face revealed a hint of intriguing smile,

"You don't have to fight for us over trivial things.

What we need you to do, first, is to spread the information of the royal court.

Second, at the moment when my life is at stake, persuade Shan Yu and let me Han breathe a sigh of relief. ”
