The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 782 Welcome back Liu Chan
The area now occupied by Liu Bang, King of the Han Dynasty, is also the area occupied by Zhou Yu in the past. According to the division of prefectures and counties before the Qin State, the area where Liu Bei is located is the southern part of Hejian County and most of Gaotang County. Important cities such as Rao'an, Maiqiu, and Gaotang serve as foundations.

Fuyang City is the front line against the Baiqi Legion gathered in Zhongyi City against Qin State, so it naturally hoarded heavy troops; at the beginning, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms had a total of 30 soldiers, and their momentum was mighty, as if they could break through the sky, but they were defeated in the end. Under the counter-indirect scheme jointly executed by Qin Hui, Fazheng, Bai Qi and others.

The Three Kingdoms Alliance fell apart, and when the cold winter came, the water surface of the wide river was frozen directly, as people expected.

But at this time, Bai Qi did not rashly lead the attack.

This is due to multiple considerations. The three forces on the land of Qilu in the south, Zhou Yu, Chen Youliang, Liu Bang and others are now at a time when they are fighting against each other. If he leads the attack, these three people will immediately keep them safe, regardless of whether he was in the past. There is the hatred of killing the father and taking the wife, anyway, as long as the state of Qin goes south, the three of them will immediately hug each other.

So Bai Qi simply stood still, taking Zhongyi City as the strongest defensive stage, and the river water as a natural barrier. As long as the winter is over, fools will know that Qin will launch a large-scale army to attack Zhao, and wipe out the entire northern land in one fell swoop. Alliance, a superpower that can compete with Qin.

Similarly, winter is over and the river is unblocked. At that time, there will be ice floods on the river for a period of a month. From then on, he could free his hands and lead the army to attack Zhao Guo.

Compared with defending the city, Bai Qi felt that he was more suitable for attacking and cutting off the siege.

Regarding the thoughts of the people of Qin, although Han Xin was not in the north, he could see very clearly.

So the place he was looking for was Lecheng in Hejian County.

Where is Lecheng?
Across the Tuo River, on the opposite side is Wusui City of Qin State.

When it snowed heavily that year, Chen Youliang and Zhou Yu, the kings of the Chen Kingdom, were still ministers under Qi Wangtian's false hands.

It was precisely because of the two people's struggle for power and profit that they finally made a snowy Northern Expedition to Qin.

Zhou Yu divided his troops into two groups. On the way, Yang Dayan, Liang Shitai and others went to Gaotang and the land of three martial arts (from south to north, they were Wuyi, Wuqiang, and Wusui). In the end, it was snowing heavily and the army could not move forward. Yang Dayan and others led the army to avoid the heavy snow in Wusui City, and it was here that Fusu led the army to defeat them all.

Lecheng is next to Tuoshui, and Wusuicheng is to the north of Tuoshui, but the distance between the two is still very far.

It's just that the envoy couldn't understand why Han Xin chose such a place.

Lecheng was defeated by Qin State at the beginning, Zhao State sent troops later, taking advantage of Qin State's unpreparedness, and then took Lecheng, as the largest city to defend against Qin State's Baiqi Corps' eastward advance.

Because the east of Lecheng is Zhongyi City, Qin State annexed 20 here, and it can swallow Zhao State as much as possible, and retreat to dominate one side.

The messenger thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "I can't make a decision on this matter, please allow me to report to my lord."

"This is what it should be!" Han Xin smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Honorable Envoy, please drink this glass to the full!"

"Please!" The envoy also laughed and raised the wine bottle.

Besides, after the banquet, the envoy bid farewell to Han Xin and went to Ningling to return to his command. However, because of the heavy snow covering the sky, the speed of walking was relatively slow. After walking out of Suiyang City, he heard the soldiers come to report, He said that someone begged to see him on the way.

When the envoy heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Bring it up."

Not long after, a slightly embarrassed young man was brought up.

Zhao Guo's envoy glanced at him slightly, and felt that this man's appearance was imposing, and there was an air of nobility between his brows that could be called unspeakably expensive, so he hurriedly got off the carriage and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

The poorly dressed young man said humanely: "Don't dare to hide anything. This is Liu Chan, the son of King Cai. He was captured by the Qin people some time ago. Last night, he escaped while taking advantage of the fire in the Qin State's granary. Today I saw Your honorable envoy is here from the State of Lu, and he is here to ask for an audience, hoping to take refuge in the State of Zhao."

Zhao Guo's envoy was very surprised, and hurriedly invited Liu Chan to the carriage and treated him with courtesy.

Along the way, the envoy asked curiously: "Han Sima is the minister of the humerus of Cai Guo. He defeated the strong with the weak and repelled the strong Qin. I don't know why the prince didn't go to Han Sima?"

After the envoy finished speaking, he told about Han Xin's plan to exchange Suiyang City for Le City at the banquet just now, so as to find a place for King Cai.

Liu Chan was originally young, and after experiencing the previous events, he somewhat distrusted his father's former courtiers, but now hearing what the envoy said, he secretly thought: Could it be that Han Xin is really a loyal minister?
But even though he was like this in his heart, the young man was worried that he would not be treated politely when he went to Han Xin, and if he became a bargaining chip for his father who hijacked him, it would be bad.

So after Liu Chan escaped, he didn't go to Han Xin directly, but wanted to go to Zhao Guo to seek Zhao Guo's help.

But I never imagined that it was difficult for me to ride a horse in the ice and snow, and I was so hungry that I ate a few mouthfuls of cold snow in front of me, which turned into saliva and swallowed, but I was too cold; After staying for a day or two, just as Liu Chan was complaining that every day was not working, and that the earth and the earth should not respond, he saw a group of people walking from the official road.

At the beginning, Liu Chan was worried that it was Qin's pursuer, but when he saw the flag was as red as blood, he realized that this was from Zhao, so he rode his horse to the official road, asked to see the owner of the caravan, and revealed his true identity.

"If the prince wants to go to Suiyang City, I will ask someone to turn the horse's head and turn back." The messenger smiled slightly, looking gentle and refined.

Liu Chan thought for a while, and said, "Then I will thank you."

Going to the country of Zhao is an unknown in itself. Many princes who have taken refuge abroad since ancient times have had ill-fated lives and may not have a good end.

Liu Chan also understood that if he defeated Zhao Guo, although there was no danger of his life, he might become a pawn in Zhao Guo's hands.

When Han Xin talked with Zhao Guo's envoy, he didn't even know that he had escaped from Qin's camp, so it was absolutely true, that is to say, Han Xin was very sincere to Cai Guo.

It was because of this that Liu Chan changed his mind.

Zhao Guo's envoy smiled slightly, stuck his head out of the car, and shouted loudly: "Turn the convoy and go back to Suiyang City."

"Turn around, I will meet Suiyang!"

"Turn around, I will meet Suiyang!"

All of a sudden, the whole convoy echoed with shouts, and the men and horses were mobilized. By evening, they had already arrived at Suiyang City.

The earth pit in Suiyang City has not been completely filled, but a road has been paved outside the city gate.

The Zhao Guo envoy got off the carriage and signaled Liu Chan to stay in the carriage, and the general guarding the city stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"

The envoy turned around and lifted the curtain of the car, and said in a deep voice, "Prince Cai is here, hurry up and call Han Xin to meet him, don't neglect!"

Following the words of the envoy of Zhao Kingdom, Liu Chan tidied up his clothes, then got out of the carriage, looked at the general guarding the city calmly and said, "It's Liu Chan, do you know?"

The military commander took a closer look, was startled, and hurriedly intervened to salute: "The last general has seen the prince, so I will report to Lord Sima."

"Go!" Liu Chan was very excited in his heart, but he could only put on an indifferent expression on his face, and he looked calm and breezy.

Let's say that the general rode a horse and rushed all the way to the general's mansion, shouting loudly: "Master Sima, the prince is here!"

When Han Xin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a serious face, "But the Qin people came here with the prince hostage?"

"No, the prince and Zhao Guo's envoy came together, and they have already arrived outside the city gate."

When Han Xin heard this, he got up immediately, looked at the general who was negotiating with him and said, "The prince must have escaped while taking advantage of the fire in the Qin army's granary. I'll go out to meet him!"

When everyone heard Han Xin's words, they didn't dare to hesitate, they got up and followed Han Xin to the gate of the city.

Outside the city gate, Liu Chan straightened his waist and looked at Han Xin leading a group of generals to salute, his palms trembling with excitement: "Okay! Sima is really the minister of the humerus of my Great Cai Kingdom!"

"The prince is serious." Han Xin said with some shame: "What the prince said in the enemy army a few days ago, I know that I can't help myself, so I naturally don't complain. It's just that our army is not strong enough now. Strong Qin, but unable to go south to regain Cai Guo, this minister sighs with sorrow and pain."

Liu Chanyue is a smart person, Han Xin said so, it should be true, but another meaning is that he is worried that after he takes over Suiyang City, he will seize power from Han Xin.

After all, my identity here is much more important than Sima Han Xin.

"Sima Nai is the minister of the humerus. I am young and ignorant, and I will follow Master Sima's advice in everything."

After hearing this, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand: "The prince is respectfully invited to enter the city."

"Respectfully invite the prince to enter the city!" All the generals in the city shouted one after another.

"Envoy, please!"

Liu Chan turned his head and glanced at the Zhao Guo envoy behind him.

Zhao Guo's envoy said with a smile: "The prince has already arrived in Suiyang City, and the task of a certain person has been completed. Let's not pass it by now. I have to go to Ningling City to think about my lord's return."

Liu Chan didn't insist on staying, but said: "I hope to see you in the future, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Zhao Guo's envoy greeted Han Xin slightly, boarded the carriage, and continued on the road.

After entering the city, Han Xin told Liu Chan what he said to the envoy of Zhao State. After listening to Liu Chan, his inner thoughts were almost the same as that of the envoy of Zhao State. There is no danger in itself between Lecheng and Zhongyi. Once the past is changed, wouldn't this immediately fall into the ground?
