Xiao He restrained his smile and said to the Lang officials,

"It's good that the boys have ambitions.

But the desert is by no means like the Han land, even if you send your father into battle, you may not be able to beat the Huns. ”

Lu Ze on the side nodded deeply, expressed his agreement, and said sharply,

"People on the grassland, shoot rabbits at the age of five, ride horses at the age of seven, you can't even get up on the horse at the moment, how can you compare?

Only shouting slogans is not a skill, and if you want to win the battle, you can only practice hard work.

When your horses are better ridden than they are, and your arrows are better than theirs, then the time will come for you to do your best.

With the appearance of your bears now, I am afraid that you are not worthy of leading horses for the Huns. ”

This group of second-generation heroes, when their parents followed Liu Jinan's expedition to the north, most of them stayed in their hometown with their families, and now although they have entered the city, they are still the hearts of the young people in the township.

Roasted under the scorching sun, it resembles rows of wilting eggplants.

The eldest brother's fiery temper seems to be impossible to change for a lifetime, Lu Pheasant pursed his lips when he saw this, took Liu Ying's hand, and said to him,

"The children have also been exposed for most of the day, and the prince has a good word for them, so let's disperse today."

Liu Ying understood, and looked up at Lu Ze seriously, saying,

"The queen mother just said that among these Lang officials, there will be the pillars of my Han in the future.

Then, I will ask my uncle for personal favors for the future pillars of the country. ”

After that, he actually followed the teachings of his uncle and grandson Tong on weekdays, and bowed to Lu Ze in a dignified manner, so panicked that Lu Ze hurriedly turned sideways and avoided it, not daring to bear the prince's worship.

Lu Pheasant glanced at Xiao He with a smile and said,

"Big brother, this hasn't changed at all, and the army is still so strict that it's daunting.

I have heard His Majesty say that there are actually two things to do with leading troops, one is strictness and the other is love.

These children are still young, and they have a long way to go. ”

"Okay, that's all for today,"

Lu Ze waved his hand helplessly, and hurriedly raised his eyebrows and admonished,

"When you go back to the house, you are not allowed to mess around, review the battle of Qixia that I talked about the day before yesterday, and each of you will write out five mistakes in Xiang Yu's improper arrangement, and I will check them one by one tomorrow.

Also, tomorrow will be the fourth watch, and Li will send you to be in charge of the team, and take everyone to carry 50 arrows and run 10 miles.

Whoever complains of misery shall run five more miles. ”

Seeing that the young officials scattered in a hurry, Xiao He raised his eyebrows and said strangely,

"Are you fighting a battle and teaching them the art of war?

Can they understand? ”

"The next battle, a living example of the near future, most of them have heard their father talk about it at home on weekdays.

I'll borrow it to talk about the formation of troops, which is just right. ”

Lu Ze smiled humbly,

"As for those who can understand and understand, I don't care so much, it depends on the cultivation and understanding of each of them."

He smiled at the backs of the teenagers who scattered in twos and threes, turned his head and quickly glanced at Lu Pheasant, and then added leisurely,

"Actually, when it comes to the art of war and the battle of Yuanxia, there is a person in Luoyang City who can speak 10,000 times better than me.

This person, Xiang Guo is also the most familiar. ”

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and realized that what Lu Ze was alluding to was the peerless warrior who had exhausted his efforts to recover, and it was also Han Xin, the king of Chu who was now trapped in the city.

His eyes flashed vacantly, and he hesitated in his deliberations, nervously scribbling at his opposition.

***

More than three years ago, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, broke Xianyang and divided the heroes as the co-lord of the world.

At that time, after Zhang Liangyu's unremitting efforts in secret, Xiang Yu finally agreed to give Liu Ji the three counties of Hanzhong, Ba and Shu, and named him the king of Han.

In exchange, Liu Ji promised to hand over all the 100,000 Qin troops he received when he broke through Xianyang to Xiang Yu, and he only took the 30,000 core backbones from his hometown and went all the way to Hanzhong.

A total of 30,000 veteran troops, most of them came from Surabaya County and Dang County, and most of these heroes and veterans after entering the Han Dynasty also came from this team.

However, in addition to the fellow villagers, there were also many "princes" from all over the Kanto region, because they were unwilling to accept the status quo of separation, they tried to fight again, so they privately followed the king of Han into Guanzhong, and sneaked into the abyss, hoping for the opportunity.

Among these princes, there was an inconspicuous but ambitious young man named Han Xin.

Han Xin was originally an attendant military attache in front of Xiang Yu's tent, and in terms of military position, he was considered Langzhong.

Although this official position is not big, in terms of the embarrassing situation of Liu Ji, the king of Han, who was driven into Guanzhong by Xiang Yu at that time, he naturally accepted it gladly if he could have Xiang Yu's attendants in front of him in the predicament.

In the army of the Han Dynasty, the first person to recognize heroes was Teng Gong Xiahou Ying.

He discovered Han Xin's great talent and recommended him to Liu Ji, and the king of Han also gave face to his old countrymen, so he appointed Han Xin as the commander of Zhisu and was in charge of the logistics of the troops.

It was precisely because of this position that Xiao He, the prime minister at the time, had the opportunity to contact Han Xin.

After a few contacts, Xiao He was completely shocked-

This young man with a delicate face and a somewhat weak temperament is the one who solved the current predicament of the Han army and helped Liu Ji get out of Hanzhong and return to the Central Plains again.

Because, even though Liu Ji has never lacked brave generals like Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying, Han Xin in front of him is a handsome talent who has never been seen in a century.

Xiao He, who was extremely surprised, repeatedly recommended Han Xin to the King of Han, hoping that he could personally take the time to meet this incomparably potential Zhisu Commander, and listen carefully to his counteroffensive plan of "making the meridian out of the sky and Chen Cang in secret".

And Liu Ji, who was in a state of distress, was depressed, and always casually perfunctory about what was going on, and didn't take it seriously at all.

***

In the long wait day after day, the arrogant Han Xin found that Liu Ji did not reuse his wishes, and in his frustration, he sealed the seal of Zhisu Duwei, left a letter to Xiao He, and left the seal.

Xiao He found that Han Xin was gone, and he was so anxious that he didn't care about reporting to Liu Ji, so he grabbed a fast horse and chased after him in the southwest direction where Han Xin left.

At this time, the hearts of the Han army were fluctuating, and since everyone came to the rich and closed country of abundance, they had already understood Xiang Yu's ruthless intention of trapping the Han King in Bashu for the rest of his life.

As a result, the passage from the Bashu Han Kingdom to the outside was full of fleeing soldiers every day.

I don't know how long I chased him day and night, Xiao He finally recognized the depressed Han Xin from the countless grizzled deserters, so he grabbed him and never let go.

After dragging Han Xin back to the capital Nanzheng, Xiao He immediately met with the King of Han.

Liu Ji thought that Xiao He had also left him, and he had been thundering for several days, but when he suddenly saw Xiao He Fu returning again, he was surprised, stretched out his hand to him, and scolded in a trembling voice,

"You just left, why do you come back?"

Xiao He said calmly,

"I didn't run away, I went chasing people for you."

"There are several people fleeing in the army every day, which one do you chase!"

"Chase Han Xin."

"Just Han Xin, what is worth recovering from you?"

Liu Ji was furious, angry and screamed fiercely.

"Because of him, it is the only chance for the king to get out of Hanzhong."

Xiao He still remembers that this is how he answered Liu Ji's question.

"Xiangguo trusted Han Shin once, but now, why not trust him again?"

He was in a trance, Nanzheng, who was hot in the summer that year, turned into the scorching Luoyang in the blink of an eye, and the person standing in front of him was also replaced by Lu Pheasant, who was smiling and groaning.
