Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 366 Could Bin Tian Anytime?

It was already past midnight, but Han Xin's king's tent was still brightly lit.

Outside the tent, Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi, Xu Zhang, Lu Qing and other dozens of generals of the Qi army all looked anxious, pacing back and forth with their hands on their sword handles, Lou Jing's face was also full of worry, almost The imperial doctor has been busy in the big tent for almost two hours, but no one has come out. Could it be that the king really can't survive this time?
The sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from a distance. When everyone looked back anxiously, they saw that the young master Han He was already walking towards this side surrounded by a large group of guards. Behind Han He was following a young man who was about Fifteen or sixteen years old, he looks a bit like Han He, but looks a bit dull.

The generals Lou Jing and Cheng Hei hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed: "I will see you two young masters."

The boy who dared to love was Han Xin's eldest son, Han Kan. Facing Lou Jing and Cheng Hei's generals, Han Kan hurriedly returned the salute, but Han He waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "Get out of the way, my son wants to see his father!"

"My lord, you can't." Lou Jing said anxiously, "The imperial doctor is treating the king, so it's inappropriate to disturb him at this time."

Although Han He was young, he was very assertive. He frowned and said impatiently: "Yaxiang, I don't want to say the same thing again, please step aside now!"

Lou Jing looked embarrassed, but Han Kan stepped forward to persuade Han He: "Second brother, let's listen to Yaxiang."

"Shut up!" Han He reprimanded Han Kan honestly and bluntly, "What do you know? Maybe this is the last time you and my brother and father will see each other. If you go in late, you won't be able to see each other."

Han Kan showed shame on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

When they were arguing, Su Weilang lifted the curtain suddenly and Cao Yu came out, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has woken up, Ya Xiang, the four generals, and the two young masters, please come to the account at the end."

"The king is awake already?"

"God is sorry, the king has finally woken up!"

"I said earlier that the king will be fine."

Everyone was relieved when they heard the words, but Han He had already lifted the curtain and entered the big tent, and the four generals Han Kan, Lou Jing and Cheng Hei also lifted the curtain and entered the big tent one after another.

Han Xin was leaning on the cushion to recuperate. Although he was awake, his face was still pale, and there was a hint of blue in the paleness. Lou Jing was also a little bit medical. Seeing this situation, his heart sank, and the king's face was pale. Turning blue, this is obviously not a good sign, which means that the poison on the arrow has soaked into the internal organs.

"Father!" Han He wailed, and knelt down in front of Han Xin's couch. Han Kan was stunned, and then knelt down in front of Han Xin's couch. In his eyes, there is still a clear expression of admiration for Han Xin, as well as the kind of admiration for his father as a son of man.

"He'er don't cry, get up quickly." Han Xin tried his best to smile at Han He, and then said to Han Kan, "And Kan'er, get up too, don't kneel."

Han Kan snorted and got up as expected.

Han He didn't get up, he still knelt and turned his head to ask the oldest of the several imperial physicians, "Old Yang Yang, how is your father's injury?"

Lou Jing and Cheng Hei's generals also showed concern, which is what they are eager to know.

The old imperial doctor surnamed Gongyang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty has three injuries, the vest, left crotch and left leg. First, let's talk about the injuries to the left crotch and left leg. The big bone of the body has been completely severed, and the hip bone of the left hip has also been crushed, so, maybe, maybe..."

"Old sheep." Han Xin frowned and said impatiently, "But it's okay to say."

Gongyang Imperial Physician sighed, and said in a low voice: "That is to say, even if you can save your life, Your Majesty, it will be impossible to stand up again from now on, moreover, whenever it is cloudy and rainy, the wound will still be painful. "

Han Xin remained silent, but Han He asked eagerly, "Then can the father save his life?"

Gongyang Imperial Physician remained silent, Han Kan, Han He, Lou Jing, and Cheng Hei all changed their expressions suddenly.

Han Xin's expression remained constant, and he said calmly: "Old Yang, I have been used to life and death for a long time. Therefore, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can afford it, and I won't blame you."

"That's it, the old minister said it straight." The imperial doctor Gongyang nodded and said, "The big bone of the king's left leg and the left hip bone have been crushed by the arrow, the bone marrow has seeped into the blood, and the arrow is coated with poison. The toxicity has also penetrated into the blood, and has spread to the internal organs."

After a pause, the imperial doctor Gongyang said again: "Although the poison painted on the arrow is strong, the old minister has a cure, but the bone marrow that has infiltrated into the blood cannot be cured, so the old minister can only resign himself to fate, and within the next seven days Well, if your majesty doesn't have a fever, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, but if you have a fever, then the old minister will be helpless."

Han Dao said, "That is to say, there is still half the chance of the widow's survival?"

The imperial physician Gongyang did not dare to meet Han Xin's gaze, but nodded silently.

A smile appeared at the corner of Han Xin's mouth, and he looked around the crowd and said, "Xiang Zhuang's child is so deliberately planning to kill the widow, and the widow still has half the chance of survival, it is already a blessing, ha ha."

The imperial doctor Gongyang nodded and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when you gouged out the flesh and arrows and scraped the bones to cleanse the poison just now, you already lost a lot of blood. This will make your body weak. You should not talk too much. You should sleep for a while." .”

"Well, the widow is indeed a little tired." Han Xin nodded slightly, and slowly closed his eyes again.

Imperial Physician Gongyang gave Lou Jing and Cheng Hei four winks, and Lou Jing and others followed Imperial Physician Gongyang out of the tent, but the two young masters Han Kan and Han He did not follow, and remained by Han Xin's bed .

After getting out of the king's tent, Lou Jing dragged Gongyang Imperial Physician to a secluded place, and Cheng Hei's four generals followed.

Lou Jing looked around and found that there was no one else besides himself and the fourth general Cheng Hei, so he said, "Doctor Gongyang, do you have something to say?"

The imperial doctor Gongyang nodded solemnly, and said sadly: "Yaxiang, if it's just the arrow wounds on the left leg and left crotch, the chance of the king's survival is more than half, but please forgive the old man, compared to the one in the vest One arrow, the two arrows on the king's left leg and left crotch are really nothing."

Lou Jing's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Old Yang Yang, what do you mean by that?"

Cheng Hei also raised the back armor he was carrying in his hand. This back armor was the armor that Han Xin wore in the cloak back then, and a bronze heart-protecting mirror was placed on the vital part of the vest. It was also firmly inserted on the heart-protecting bronze mirror. At the place where the arrow was hit, the heart-protecting bronze mirror protruded a lot, but it was not pierced by the arrow.

At that moment Cheng Hei said: "Although this arrow hit the king's vest, it was blocked by the heart guard. Why did the old doctor say that this arrow is more deadly than the two arrows on the king's left leg and crotch?"

The imperial physician Gongyang pointed to the protruding lump on the heart-protecting copper border, and sighed: "See this point? Although the arrow that the assassin shot through the king's vest failed to penetrate the heart-protecting mirror, it still hurt the heart." Your Majesty has caused irreparable trauma, your heart has already been severely injured, from now on, if there is any mood swing, it will, it will..."

Lou Jing and the others were shocked when they heard the words. Although the old sheep hesitated and didn't say it clearly, everyone could hear the implication of his words, that is to say, if the king has any mood swings, his heart will be broken immediately and he will be killed on the spot!However, as a person of flesh and blood, who can keep quiet?Doesn't this mean that the king may come to heaven at any time? !

On the east bank of the Zishui River, the Chu army camp.

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang's mood was also a little struggling. Youyuan's first arrow did hit Han Xin's vest until Han Xin fell off the horse. , and indeed shot Han Xin's body, these three arrows were all coated with poison, Han Xin can still live?
However, without definite news, Xiang Zhuang dared not make a rash decision.

If Han Xin is not dead, there is nothing to think about. Just follow the original plan to cross the Weishui River, cross the glue, and then go along the seaside through Jiaodong, Langye, East China Sea, and then return to Jiangdong. But if Han Xin is dead, then Qi The army has no leader, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you do it right, you can wipe out the country of Qi in one fell swoop!
To be honest, before planning to assassinate Han Xin, Xiang Zhuang never thought about the current situation!
But now, the opportunity really presented itself. When the opportunity presents itself, Xiang Zhuang will never be merciful. If he can destroy Qi now, why wait until the future?

After walking back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back for a long time, Xiang Zhuang suddenly turned his head and asked Bailixian, "Ziliang, if Han Xin is dead, do you think now is a chance?"

Bai Lixian shook the feather fan subconsciously, and replied: "Yes."

Having said this, Bai Lixian sat up on his knees again, and said: "If Han Xin is killed, the [-] Qi army on the west bank of the Zishui River will fall into a leaderless situation. Although Lou Jing is a great talent, he may not be able to hold Cheng Hei, Zhao Xi and other veteran generals of the Qi army, as well as Han Xin's two sons, the eldest son Han Kan is weak and incompetent, and the second son Han He is still young, so it is difficult for them to take on great positions!"

"Also." Xiang Zhuang continued, "The foundation of the Qi State is not solid. Han Xin is alive, and the forces of all parties can only wait for orders. Once Han Xin dies, the forces of all parties, especially the remnants of the Tian family, will definitely take advantage of the situation. Xue Ou, who is leading the army in Liang, might support his troops and stand on his own, and if this happens, Qi will immediately fall apart."

"But..." Bai Lixian said again, "If Han Xin hadn't died, all of this would not have happened!"

"That's right, if Han Xin didn't die, then all of this is fantasy." Xiang Zhuang nodded in agreement, and said, "Besides, I'm even more worried that Han Xin will fake his death and lure us into being fooled."

Bailixian said: "Yes, Han Xin's soldiers are like gods, so he must guard against them."
