Chapter 116

Many people don't have a good impression of Liu Bang, thinking that he is a scumbag old hooligan who is cheated and abducted, relying on the people under him to fight and resist, so he stood out from the Chu and Han hegemony with Xiang Yu and became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This is obviously a misunderstanding of him, whether it is the ability to lead troops in battle, or the ability to govern the country, Liu Bang is a TOP-level figure in the emperor, and this person's personality charm is also very good, so many elite soldiers can follow him with all their hearts, which is an affirmation of his personality charm.

The reason why he lost so badly in front of Xiang Yu was that in addition to Xiang Yu being a bug himself, the pig teammates in his camp also accounted for a big factor - Han Xin's refusal to rescue.

Yes, Han Shin.

This soldier immortal who uses soldiers like a god can make Liu Bang win happily, or he can make Liu Bang lose face.

When the Chu and Han hegemony reached the white-hot stage, Liu Bang and Han Xin agreed, the two soldiers divided into two ways, together to surround Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu realized that Liu Bang and Han Xin once the two surrounded themselves, they were more than lucky, so they sent envoys to persuade Han Xin, and Han Xin analyzed the pros and cons, once Liu Bang is in charge of the world, then Han Xin will be a rabbit and a dog cooking, but he is different, he promised Han Xin to be prosperous and rich, let Han Xin fall to himself, and fight Liu Bang with himself.

Han Xin was indeed moved, he felt that Liu Bang couldn't tolerate himself, and he should take refuge in Xiang Yu, so that he could protect himself.

But he also felt that Liu Bang had the grace of knowing him, giving him food when he had no food to eat, and giving him clothes to wear when he had no clothes to wear, how could he betray this kind of kindness?

So he chose not to help each other.

The ability of soldiers to use soldiers has never been different from ordinary people, so that they can be unprepared and make the army they lead invincible, but when this kind of thinking is used in the world, it is very difficult to explain.

Han Xin broke the appointment and released Liu Bang's pigeons, but Liu Bang suffered from the enemy on his back but did not wait for Han Xin's reinforcements, and fought the most tragic and humiliating battle in his life.

This battle made him throw away his armor and flee for his life, and even kicked one of his children out of the car when the enemy army was gradually approaching, if it wasn't for Xia Houen picking up the two children several times, I am afraid that Princess Lu Yuan and Emperor Han Hui would have died in the chaos of the army.

This battle showed the ability and character of the three people, Liu Bang did not need to use people to doubt, not so much to lose to Xiang Yu and Han Xin's breach of contract, but to lose to his own character.

Although Xiang Yu has the courage of ten thousand people, he is not completely reckless, when he is not emotionally up, he can listen to the advice of his advisers, and he also knows how to use clever tricks to expand his advantages even more, so as to turn small victories into big victories.

As for Han Xin, as long as he is the chief general of the three armies, everyone will be extremely relieved, his operation is as stable as ever, he can be the Dinghai Divine Needle, as long as he is there, he can only win a big victory, or he can be moved by others in three or two sentences, even if he does not completely fall to the enemy, he can also let his people lose reinforcements at the most critical time, so as to flee in embarrassment.

Ask yourself, Hehua doesn't want to become the Han Gaozu who is still talked about after more than 2,000 years, so Han Xin, the biggest variable in this battle, cannot become a variable, but to become the Dinghai Divine Needle and Ballast Stone of the Great Qin Water Division.

Hehua took Zhang Han's hand and walked out, "What about Han Xin?" Where is he? ”

"It should be in his cabin, I didn't see him come out."

Zhang Han raised his eyes to look at Hehua, "The imperial princess seems to be very nervous Han Xin?" ”

"Yes, I do nervous about him."

He Hua bowed his head and turned to walk towards Han Xin's cabin, "He is the key to this battle, there is no possibility of the slightest accident, otherwise the blow to the Great Qin Sailor will be devastating." ”

The hand holding her arm tightened slightly.

The next moment, she heard Zhang Han's voice beside her, "Why is the imperial princess so determined, only Han Xin can win the Chu people?" ”

Hehua looked back at Zhang Han.

The man's expression was faint, there was not much expression on his face, only a pair of eyes were very dark, like a touch of ink poking out of the abyss hell, staring at these eyes for a long time, he would unconsciously fall into the abyss with this ink color.

Hehua's eyelids jumped slightly, and he retracted his gaze, "The Chu people are not ordinary people's enemies. ”

"So in the heart of the crown princess, Han Xin is this extraordinary person?"

Zhang Han asked.

Hehua's footsteps stopped.

As if she met Zhang Han for the first time, she turned around and looked back at this man who had never disobeyed her up and down, unlike Wang Li's sunshine at a glance, Zhang Han's temperament was gloomy, like a beast dormant in the dark, suddenly giving people a bite when people were the most relaxed and defenseless, and they would kill with one blow, clean and neat.

Such a dangerous temperament will make people involuntarily keep a distance from him, and if they can not provoke him, they will not provoke him, so that Hehua once thought that he had been an official for so many years, and his friends were still those few, and he was out of place wherever he went.

However, the funny thing is that she just thinks that Zhang Han's eight-sided exquisiteness is no worse than Liu Bang, who is good at inviting people's hearts, even if he is arrogant and domineering, Wang Li, who looks down on anyone, has a good impression of Zhang Han, saying that Zhang Han is calm and reliable, saying that Zhang Han has the style of a general, if he can be born in their Wang family, he must be a peerless warrior who is not weaker than his father.

It's a pity that Zhang Han doesn't have such a good family background.

His father was just a small craftsman in Shaofu, and he was suspected of offending Wang Ben by chance, so he died in a daze.

When Zhang Han appeared in her sight at the earliest, Wang Ben felt familiar, and the person who could make the general feel familiar was either extremely dangerous or extremely safe.

——Zhang Han and Wang Ben are separated by the "hatred of killing their father".

Wang Ben didn't take the matter of Zhang Han's father offending Wang Ben to heart, but the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the superior don't need to open their mouths, and there are a lot of people to do it for others, such as Zhang Han's father who accidentally soiled his armor.

This was a very small thing, so small that Wang Ben had almost forgotten the existence of this matter, and one night when he came back from Shanglin Yuan, he saw a half-grown child kneeling at the door of his mansion in the rain, and the attendants of his mansion were dragging the man away so as not to dirty his place.

The man who worshiped the general asked a question, it was a half-grown child who said that his name was Zhang Han, and the heavy rain was like a note, and the half-grown child kept kowtowing to him, begging him to bypass his father's life.

Wang Ben thought for a while, and the man he met who did not have the surname Zhang, so he casually pulled a bag containing gold and silver buns from his body, threw it into the hands of Zhang Han, who was still a child, and said in a lazy voice, "You have found the wrong person, I don't know your father." ”

Zhang Han's father died.

Died because he soiled Wang Ben's armor, and when he died, Wang Ben didn't know him, Jane's general in the emperor's heart and a small craftsman under the command of the humble Shaofu, there was a difference between them, a yawn from the superior, and the corpse was separated.

"You want to be this non-ordinary?"

Hehua looked at Zhang Han in front of him, "Do you want to take the initiative to ask for help like Wang Li and face the Chu people?" ”

"Zhang Han, that's not an ordinary Chu person, it's Xiang Yu."

Hehua turned sideways completely, and said, "He is the overlord of Chu in history, the overlord Xiang Yu who is not a tyrant, not a barbarian in the southwest that you can pinch to death at will." ”

"I know."

Zhang Han looked directly into Hehua's eyes, and his sharp gaze did not dodge or dodge, "It is precisely because he is the overlord of Chu that I want to take the initiative to ask for help." ”

"Empress Dowager, there is nothing that can prove me more than winning the Chu Overlord."

The man knelt on one knee and said in a low voice, "Maybe in my whole life, I won't be able to reach the height of a general, but I can win the Chu Overlord for the Empress Dowager and remove the great trouble in the hearts of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty." ”

Hehua's eyelids jumped.

Winning over Xiang Yu is indeed the best thing to prove your strength.

But the problem is that Wang Li in history was beaten out of the cauldron when he met Xiang Yu, Zhang Han saw that Wang Li died tragically, he had no reinforcements and no food and grass, and his teammates were peerless faint kings like Hu Hai, after weighing the pros and cons, the man surrendered directly.

Yes, he didn't even face a hard confrontation with Xiang Yu, so he chose to lead the crowd to surrender, it turned out that his surrender was not wise, as a Chu person, Xiang Yu had a bitter hatred for the Qin people, and after Zhang Han surrendered, Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops.

The accumulation of 200,000 corpses made Zhang Han completely lose the heart of the Qin people, and also made this general from a low background but with a heart higher than the sky completely lose his edges and corners, so that he did not even play half of his previous strength in the later confrontation with Liu Bang.

The sky is long, how thin is it for me.

This sentence comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, Zhuge Wuhou's character and Zhang Han's character are very different, but this sentence is used on Zhang Han without the slightest sense of disobedience - in his life, he has never been let down, treated poorly, pointed out by thousands of people, and spurned by thousands of people.

Character determines destiny.

His background made it impossible for him to be as unconditionally loyal as Wang Li, but the 200,000 Qin troops did die because of him, making him uneasy for the rest of his life, and he was not truly liberated until the moment of death.

Wang Li is worthy of the sky, worthy of the ground, his life is frank and open, he is a loyal minister and a good general, and he is a good son in Guanzhong.

Zhang Han has been proving himself all his life, from the Shaofu who built the tomb of the Qin Emperor, to being ordered to lead a group of prisoners to quell the rebellion in the world, and the mighty rebel army was defeated and retreated after encountering him, Zhang Han at that time was like a god, no one doubted that he was the savior of Great Qin, and he was another peerless general of Great Qin after Bai Qi Wang Jian Wang Ben Mengtian.

Unlike these generals who were born in the general's door, he has never been cultivated according to the general's path, and he has never been expected to be pinned on, it was the war that burned to the land of Guanzhong, Hu Hai recalled him with the mentality of giving it a try, and let him, who had never been on the battlefield, fight the rebel army that occupied most of the Great Qin.

That's when he proved himself.

If Daqin turns the corner, then he is the chosen general who can surpass Bai Qi Wang Jian Wang Ben Mengtian, but Daqin does not, the monarch of Daqin is Hu Hai, and his opponent is Xiang Yu, he is destined to fall into the abyss and hell at the peak, from the general who is most admired and even worshiped as a god by the children of Guanzhong, to a traitor hated by the old Qin people.

Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong, and the Qin people rushed to tell each other and welcome Pei Gong, they would rather change their banners and serve Liu Bang as the main than submit to Zhang Han, a traitor.

Hehua was silent for a moment.

After a while, she leaned over and picked up the general who was kneeling on one knee, her voice was calm and gentle, "Zhang Han, you don't need to prove yourself to anyone, you are you, the unique General Zhang." ”

"I am the person I trust the most, and I am my right-hand man."

The arm she was holding sinks suddenly.

And those eyes as deep as ink trembled slightly, as if the sky was shining through, and the darkness had nowhere to hide.

"But if you want to prove yourself, I won't stop you."

"I just hope that your proof is not an external factor, but because you can. ”

She knew Zhang Han's thoughts, and even more so his sensitive thoughts after his seemingly invincible appearance.

He was so desperate to prove himself, he was no worse than anyone else, he could also be her general, a general she was proud of, not someone else who was pressed for everything, one of the countless generals who had great achievements but were only like that.

"You are the general of Great Qin, so you can be invincible, and you will not have the slightest timidity in the face of the overlord of Chu."

"You are my most trusted confidant, so you are loyal and can remove my troubles from my heart."

"Zhang Han, can you do it?"

Hehua looked at Zhang Han's face, "All your motives come from your heart, not because others look down on you and want to compete with others." ”

Zhang Han's breath was light.

——The man who chose him by the public will always see blood and deafness.

"It can be done."

Zhang Han took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his breath, and looked directly into Hehua's gentle but also sharp eyes, "Because I am loyal to the imperial princess, I can and must be able to get rid of the Chu people for the imperial concubine and dominate the world." ”

Hehua smiled, "Yes, this is the Zhang Han I am familiar with." ”

"Zhang Han, your ability can be seen by everyone, no matter whether you win or lose in the battle against Xiang Yu, it will not affect the world's evaluation of you."

"The material of the pillars, the mainstay."

"A hundred years later, it will be a peerless general who will enjoy the Taimiao with me." r />

Zhang Han's eyes lit up slightly.

The sun rises in the east, and the darkness recedes.

After this time, the spark will be bright, and I will be in Chang'an.

"Whoa."

Zhang Han said.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Han Xin held the hand of the guard, staggered out of the cabin, and his eyes swirled back and forth on Hehua and Zhang Han.

"We're going to look for you."

Hehua briefly said what was going on outside, "There is a lot of wind and waves outside, but it is not caused by the weather, I suspect that the Chu people have raised something and are making waves under our boat." ”

Hearing that Hehua said that he was looking for him, Han Xin led the two of them to his room, "Oh, it's not impossible. ”

"It is rumored that there is a huge thing in the sea, with a body as big as mountains and rivers, which can swallow a huge ship in one bite, and can make the sea surface flat and stormy."

Zhang Liang walked from the other direction, frowning and saying what he knew.

Hehua's eyebrows moved slightly, "A giant under the sea with a body as big as mountains and rivers? ”

- This thing can't be a whale or something, right?

"Yes."

Han Xin nodded, "The Chu people have lived in the Chu land of the island country for so long, it's not impossible to raise this kind of giant thing, with the help of this giant thing, they can easily break our warship." ”

"So, what are you going to do?"

Hehua looked at the three of them.

"Kill."

The three of them spoke in unison.

"Very good, then the question is, who is going to kill?"

Hehua's gaze swirled over the three of them.

Han Xin immediately said, "I'm not good at water. ”

"I am a strategist, a general who is not a cavalry archer and is extremely familiar with water warfare."

Zhang Liang's voice was long.

The eyes of the two fell on Zhang Han together.

Zhang Han's brows moved slightly, and his voice was crisp and neat, "The princess, I'll come." ”

"How sure are you?"

Hehua thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of thing is called a whale, it is usually not aggressive, and it will not attack people easily-"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Protect the Empress Dowager!"

Suddenly, there was a shout of exclamation from outside, and Hehua's explanation was interrupted.

This is obviously a surprise that the situation can only have when it is out of control, Hehua's face changed slightly, he stood up from the small scale in an instant, and ran towards Yingzheng's cabin position like a conditioned reflex.

Zhang Han caught up with Hehua.

"Empress Damie, slow down!"

Han Xin pulled Zhang Liang and stumbled after the footsteps of the two, "Your Majesty is guarded by Wang Benmengyi, and it is much safer than you!" ”

But at this dangerous juncture, Hehua will only feel at ease when she sees her father safe and sound, she ran quickly in the direction of Ying Zheng, for fear that her father would have an accident, but just around the cabin, Ying Zheng's figure appeared in the corridor, Taishan collapsed on his face and the emperor frowned slightly, and the gorgeous phoenix eyes were worried that could be seen at a glance.

- Obviously, the emperor heard Fan Xu's voice, so he came to her as soon as possible.

Hehua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, are you alright?"

Hehua hurried to Yingzheng.

"Nothing."

Ying Zheng shook his head, his gaze stayed on Hehua slightly, the girl's body was fine, and the emperor retracted his gaze, "What's going on outside?" ”

"There is no wind and waves, it is not the weather, but the bottom of the ship is attacked by a huge object."

Zhang Liang said, "Your Majesty, we must kill those huge things under the sea as soon as possible, otherwise our ship will be scuttled by them, and we will be defeated without a fight before the Chu people attack." ”

Zhang Han arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the last general will ask for an order to kill the giant under the sea." ”

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Zhang Han, "Are you sure of victory?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not let His Majesty and the Empress Dowager fall into danger."

Zhang Han's eyes were slightly dark, and a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

It was the nature of the fading disguise, and the beast that had been dormant in the shadows finally set out, bloodthirsty and brutal, and full of anger.

Wang Ben lazily raised his eyebrows.

Meng Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

Ying Zhengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Go ahead." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Han bowed his head and leaned down.

Hehua turned around and looked at Zhang Han, "Go early and return early." ”

Zhang Han's footsteps paused slightly, and she looked sideways at Hehua, the girl's eyes were light, and her eyes were eagerly looking forward to it, but she didn't say that I was here waiting for you to come back.

- Probably after seeing the other princess and no one waited, he felt that this sentence was really unlucky, so he didn't say it.

She won't say I'm here waiting for you to come back.

She would only say, if you don't come back, I will avenge you.

Zhang Han pursed his lower lip and clasped his fists, "The last general will not live up to the princess's expectations for the last general." ”

to prove himself, but not for the eyes of the world, but - he could.

He could have become a peerless warrior and could leave an extremely strong mark in history, so he went to fulfill his mission as a Qin general, so that the glory and glory that he could touch with his hand fell on his shoulders.

Zhang Han turned to leave.

The cabin shook even more.

The guards all gathered around Yingzheng, vigilantly observing everything around them.

Wang Ben and Han Xin Zhang Liang glanced at each other, and after a while, they arched their hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the spare ship should be activated at this time." ”

Spare ships, ships that are only activated in the most critical moments, are used to save strength and escape.

Ying Zheng tapped his fingers lightly, "If everything goes well with Zhang Han, how long will it take to kill the giant?" ”

"If everything goes well with General Zhang, it will take three days at the earliest to kill the giant object."

Zhang Liang said thoughtfully.

"Three days?"

Ying Zheng's brows moved slightly, "If our cabin is chiseled through by a huge object, how long will it take from seepage to sinking?" ”

"Less than a day."

Meng Yi said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the body of a daughter is not sitting down, you should evacuate as soon as possible with the crown princess." ”

Ying Zheng pointed to the case, "and wait for Zhang Han for half a day." ”

Meng Yi was a little anxious, "Your Majesty—"

"It doesn't matter."

Ying Zheng said, "We can wait while we prepare a spare boat." ”

"But I don't think we need a spare ship."

Ying Zheng glanced at Hehua, and his voice was not hurried or slow, "Zhang Han is a peerless divine soldier who has never opened a blade, and if he doesn't make a sound, he will be a blockbuster." ”

"Let's wait and see what surprises this General Zhang will give us."

Ying Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Wang Ben's eyes moved slightly, and he gave his guards a look.

The guards understood, and led the people to retreat silently, preparing a spare boat that could retreat at any time.

The huge ship was tossed and turned in the wind and waves.

"General Zhang, these things have rough skin and thick flesh, and ordinary bows and crossbows can't hurt them at all!"

The guards shouted to Zhang Han, who was standing by the sword.

Zhang Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand pressed on the saber slowly raised, "Take my bow." ”

"Whoa!"

The guards trotted all the way, and the three of them worked together to take out the treasure carving bow that Hehua gave to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han holds a bow in one hand.

The eagle bow that the three of them could only hold together was like a child's toy in his hand, and he took the bow with one hand, wound it with one hand, and the guards presented him with six-sided arrows that were sharper and heavier than ordinary crossbows/arrows, and the man drew his bow and arrows, pointing at a giant fish in the water.

There are emperors in the world, and fish also have their own leaders.

Arrows are like meteors, breaking through the water.

The red suddenly spreads, and the water surface is dyed red in an instant.

The wind and waves gradually subsided, and the turbulent ship slowly returned to its composure.

The tea on the desk was no longer shaking, and Hehua was a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at the deck.

"Zhang Han is very capable."

Han Xin blurted out, "If you can stop the wind and waves so quickly, you must kill the leader of the giant fish, and only in this way will the giant fish stop attacking." ”

"To be able to find the leader of the fish among so many fish, doesn't Zhang Hanmo have a pair of clairvoyance that can see through the sea?"

Giant fish?

The leader of the fish?

She remembered that whales weren't social animals.

After a while, she remembered that in addition to whales, there are several species of fish in this world that are the overlords of the sea, and they are extremely aggressive, and they are not afraid of people at all—tiger sharks or man-eating sharks.

The Qin soldiers on the deck who were on guard exclaimed in unison.

After a while, a huge strange fish was slowly dragged up by Zhang Han's troops, and the strange fish swam around next to the leader's corpse, as if they wanted to save their leader, but the Qin soldiers under Zhang Han had set up a strong crossbow, and the strong crossbow fell like rain, and a bright red blood stain spread in the sea, and after several times, the strange fish was reluctant to retreat.

The wind and waves completely subsided, and the huge ship returned to stability.

Liu Ji stroked his palms and was overjoyed, "Zhang Han, you kid can!" ”

"Bother Brother Liu to take care of His Majesty and the imperial princess."

Zhang Han took his bow and arrows, and the arrows and crossbows shot at Liu Ji's hand.

The crossbow/arrow came through the wind, and the arrow feather carried a letter, Liu Ji sighed, took down the letter, and waved his hand to Zhang Han, "Go, with me, there will be no chaos here." ”

Zhang Han clenched his fists and bowed deeply.

The well-trained warship rowed through the waves and soon disappeared into the endless sea.

Liu Ji took the letter and went to the cabin to find Yingzheng and the empress.

A group of people around stood respectfully in front of Ying Zheng and Hehua, only Han Xin stood on tiptoe to read the letter written by Zhang Han in Ying Zheng's hand, and when he saw the content of the letter, the soldier fairy who used soldiers like gods laughed.

"Sure enough, as I expected, Zhang Han went to help Wang leave."

Han Xin said with a smile, "It is indeed a good move to attack us with a giant fish, but it also exposes the fact that the strength of the Chu people is far inferior to ours. ”

"Zhang Han went to help Wang Li at this time, just to attack him unprepared, so that the Chu people suffered from the enemy, and then joined forces with Wang Li, and took Chu in one go."

Han Xin joked to Er Hehua, "The princess, you can rest assured that your heart has been hanging." ”

“……”

He didn't understand, was this something that could be done as a human minister?

Zhang Liang couldn't say anything, and quietly ripped off Han Xin's sleeve, hoping that this general with great military achievements would stop challenging the bottom line of the emperor and the princess.

Ying Zheng glanced at Han Xin.

"What we can think of, can't the Chu people think of?"

Sensing Ying Zheng's gaze, Hehua hurriedly played a round game, "Han Xin, don't you think everything is too deserved?" ”

"From Wang Li's departure, to the giant fish attacking our ship, and then to Zhang Han to help Wang Li-"

"A plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"

Han Xin's face changed slightly, interrupting Hehua's words, "The target of the Chu people is His Majesty and the princess!" ”：，m..，.
