Destiny Only Han

Chapter 251 Liu Bang: It looks like a dog from a distance, but Sima Xin looks closer...

Xingyang East, the fourth day Xiang Yu left.

Outside the camp of the Chu army, Liu Bang, surrounded by more than a hundred elite riders, galloped back and forth, showing off his might.

Now that the other party's parents have left, he will hurry up and bully the 'left-behind children' here...

Now, Zhong Limei and others stood aside, the left-behind general of the Chu army was Cao Jiu who had never been on the battlefield, but was very senior and had fought with Xiang Yan.

Therefore, Liu Bang felt that he could do it again...

In the camp of the Chu army, under Liu Bang's cursing, although Cao Jiu was full of anger, he did not go out and fight Liu Bang to the death under the rage.

This was not because he was strictly following Xiang Yu's instructions, but because he was holding Sima Xin tightly in his arms to prevent him from rushing out.

Liu Bang originally wanted to provoke Cao Jiu to come out and fight him this time, but when he arrived at the camp of the Chu army, he realized that the Chu army was not only led by Cao Jiu, but also the big traitor Sima Xin!
As a result, the enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

If in the past jokes like Sima Xin looked like a dog from a distance and up close were just jokes, then the words gushing out of Liu Bang's mouth mixed with Peisi's rural slang are real insults .

Under Liu Bang's arrangement, not only did Sima Xin suffer from bad habits such as incest, prostitution, humans and beasts, but even all his relatives were not spared...

Ever since, the soldiers in the Chu army's camp looked at Cao Jiu who was holding Sima Xin in his arms, and gradually a lot of inexplicable expressions appeared in their eyes.

Your circle is really messy!

In an instant, Cao Jiu let go of Sima Xin like a snake and scorpion, and turned his head slightly, not to look at Sima Xin's angry eyes full of grievances.

"Kill him, kill him!"

Sima Xin's old and new grudges welled up in his heart, and he roared hysterically.

But now, apart from the thousands of personal soldiers around him, there is no army that can be mobilized.

In the battle of Pengcheng that day, he broke his promise to Liu Bang and joined Dong Yi in the encirclement and suppression of the Han army.

Although the battle ended with the complete victory of the Chu army, Sima Xin and Dong Yi's army saw clearly the character of their own king, and most of them were from Guanzhong, where their wives, children, and children lived.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Han State from harming their family members, they deserted one after another and returned to Guanzhong by various means.

However, Xiao He and Liu Bang, who suffered from manpower shortage, naturally welcomed their actions with both hands and feet.

It's just that because of the trust, they were transferred from the military registration to the civilian registration.

Although it is impossible to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, the most is to be a civilian husband and help transport the army food and luggage.

But misfortunes and blessings depend on them. If there is no disease or disaster, they have an ordinary life that can live to a natural death.

After yelling and cursing for a while, but seeing no reaction from Chu Jun, Liu Bang left with a dry mouth.

Today, I came a little hastily.

He planned to hold a sea election for all the Han army after returning to the camp, and select those guys with loud voices and thick skins and a lot of swearing words, and send them to the Chu army in turn to scold them.

Even if you can't succeed in the end, but relieve your anger!
In the past, Xiang Yu led people to yell and curse at Xingyang City. Although he couldn't come back and yell at Xiang Yu now, it was very cool to do so!
…………

Qi State, Linzi.

Li Shiqi, who was on an envoy to Qi State again, had been cursing under the city for almost half an hour now.

The Qi army guarding the gate didn't know what was going on. When they saw him coming with a banner from afar, they immediately closed the city gate and turned a deaf ear to his plea.

Li Shiqi thought for a while, and felt that Liu Ying should carry the pot.

After all, the dumping of low-priced salt in the past six months has almost destroyed Qi's foreign trade...

But Liu Ying was not here at the moment, so his anger was naturally vented on the defenders at the top of the city.

His confidence lies in the fact that Han Xin has assembled nearly 20 troops at this moment, stationed in the north of Lixia (Jinan City, Shandong), only two or three hundred miles away from Linzi (Zibo City, Shandong), the capital of Qi.

A moment later, Li Shiqi successfully entered Linzi.

It wasn't that the defenders couldn't stand being scolded by him anymore, but that Tian Heng happened to pass by here and was caught by him...

On the carriage, Li Shiqi babbled to himself, endlessly telling Tian Heng that people's hearts are not old, that young people nowadays don't know how to respect the old...

Tian Heng had a helpless expression on his face. In fact, he didn't really happen to pass by, but received a battle report from the west, so he had to pretend to make such a move to bring Li Shiqi into the city.

Today is different from the past. When Li Shiqi first came, although the Han army won one after another, they were still far away from the border of Qi.

But now, Liu Jia and Luwan lead the army stationed on the front line of Baima, and can join Han Xin's army at any time to launch a siege to Qiguo.

How can a person not bow his head under the eaves!
So, if the price offered by Han Guo is suitable, let's lower it...

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Linzi Palace, and Li Shiqi walked out of the carriage, almost without laughing.

Now the palace seems to be a bit more dilapidated than when he came last time.

Not only are many rebuilt sheds empty, but even many places that were barely intact before have become dilapidated due to lack of money for repairs...

"A sin..."

Li Shiqi stroked his beard lightly, and looked at Tian Heng beside him with a bit of pity.

To be honest, the affordable housing built in Guanzhong for the relocation of residents in Xianyang City is more solid than the Qi Palace in front of you!
Tian Heng blushed, but his heart was full of anger.

In order to guard against Chu State in the south and Han State in the west, Qi State had to explode its troops crazily and pulled up a huge army of 15 people.

Under the influence of people eating horses and being ransacked by Xiang Yu, the country of Qi was already struggling to survive. Now under the impact of inexplicable low-priced salt, the salt foreign trade that supports nearly [-]% of Qi's income has also collapsed...

But is it just that poor?

"Sir please!"

Tian Heng suppressed his anger, bent down and saluted, letting Li Shiqi walk in front of him.

Confucius said that at seventy, one should follow one's heart without exceeding the rules.

So Li Shiqi, who was close to seventy, didn't show politeness to Tian Heng, paused the scepter in his hand, and strode forward sonorously.

…………

In a large hall with some peeling paint on the beams and pillars, Qi Wang Tianguang sat upright, looking solemnly at Li Shiqi who walked in.

He is the eldest son of Tian Rong. After Tian Rong died, the people of Qi asked to surrender, but Xiang Yu refused. king.

Li Shiqi walked in, cupped his hands and bowed in salute: "My lord, we meet again!"

There was a smile on his face, and he didn't have the slightest annoyance from being beaten out with sticks last time and being rejected this time.

To be an envoy, you need to have a good temper.

Tian Guang nodded lightly: "I don't know what's the matter this time, sir, do you want to tell the widow?"

Li Shiqi asked with a smile: "Your Majesty knows the hearts of the people in the world, where are they going?"

Tian Guang shook his head.

Li Shiqi said solemnly: "If the king knows the people's support, the Qi country can be preserved. If he doesn't know, the Qi country will definitely be destroyed by the king!"

Tian Guang sneered, just about to explode, but when he saw Tian Hengheng shaking his head, he restrained his unhappiness and asked, "Then where do the people of the world go?"

Li Shiqi replied: "All the hearts of the world belong to the King of Han!"

Tian Guang sneered disdainfully: "A mere Sishang pavilion chief, is he worthy?"

Li Shiqi slammed his scepter and said loudly:

"What about the head of the pavilion at Sishang? My king was promised by King Huai in the past, and he was the first to enter the customs! However, Xiang Yu broke the alliance and let my king become king in the Hanzhong area! Later, Xiang Yu moved to kill Emperor Yi, and we After Wang Wen heard this, he mobilized the soldiers of the Shu Han to attack San Qin, and went out to blame Emperor Yi!"

"Along the way, collect the soldiers of the world and set up the queens of the princes! When you descend to the city, you will be the general, and if you get a bribe, you will divide the soldiers! It is the same benefit as the world, and the heroes and talents are happy to use it!"

"In this way, the soldiers of the princes will come from all directions, and the millet boats of the Shu Han will come down, and the world will be pacified like a bag!"

"Xiang Yu has the reputation of having double promises. It is a crime to kill Emperor Yi! And he has no record of his achievements, and his crimes are never forgotten! He won't be rewarded if he wins, and he won't be sealed if he pulls out the city. Use things...the people around the world, the virtuous and talented resent him, all of them have turned their backs on Xiang Yu and turned to my king!"

"Now, the Han army has conquered the Three Qin Dynasties; beyond the Xihe River, it has commanded the soldiers of the Shangdang; it has descended to Jingxing, and punished Chen Yu, the ruler of An; it has defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, brought down Wei Wangbao, and destroyed countless cities!"

"A mere Sishang pavilion chief?"

Li Shiqi blew his beard and stared at him and asked, "I don't know what achievements you have made, Your Majesty?"

He didn't wait for Tian Guang, who was blushing, to answer, and said to himself: "Let me tell you, such a feat cannot be achieved by humans. This is the favor of heaven and the destiny!"

"When I came, the Han army occupied the millet of Ao Cang, blocked the danger of Chenggao, guarded the Jin of Baima, and the hill of Du Dahang, which was far away from the mouth of the fox. Among the princes of the world, those who have been reluctant to submit to the Han Kingdom must be will be the first to perish!"

"If the State of Qi surrenders, the Tian family can still retain the title of king of Qi. If not, hehe..."

"In that case, please think again, Your Majesty!"

When Tian Guang was furious and was about to let someone beat the arrogant Li Shiqi out again, Tian Heng walked slowly to his side and whispered the latest battle report he had heard in his ear.

"really?"

Tian Guang's face was horrified. Although he had never fought against the Han army, he was no stranger to Zhao's army.

Yanzhao has many generous and elegiac men, and the army is also very capable of fighting.

However, it was easily defeated by Han Xin in one battle!

Qi and Zhao's army have almost the same combat power, but now, because Qi is about to be unable to provide food and salaries for the soldiers, the combat power has dropped sharply. I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the Han army at all!
After all, only setting up a pot to cook rice, not setting up a pot to make sense.

Even in the era when the concept of nation and country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in later generations, few armies can do it if you expect others to not have enough to eat!

So after a moment of silence, Tian Guang looked at Li Shiqi and said, "According to Mr. Qi, the State of Qi has surrendered..."
