Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 469 Combine Vertical and Horizontal ([-])

Bi Shu was eloquent, and Han He was disturbed to hear that. On the one hand, he was very annoyed by Bi Shu's naked threats, but on the other hand, he had to admit that Bi Shu was not alarmist. Without the idea of ​​annexing the world, Qi really cannot join the Lianheng Alliance advocated by Bai Mo.

At that moment Han He said to Bi Shu: "Your Majesty, let's go back."

"So, I will take my leave." Bi Shu gave Han He a shallow bow, and walked away.

Looking at Bi Shu's figure walking out of the hall, Han He frowned and asked Lou Jing and Zhao Yan, "Minister of the State, Military Advisor, you all listened to Bi Shu's words, what do you think Da Qi should choose?"

Zhao Yan said: "Bi Shu's eloquent words are not enough to be believed."

If it wasn't something important, Zhao Yan really didn't want to say anything more, but the choice of the covenant was directly related to the life and death of Qi State, so Zhao Yan had to say nothing, even if it caused Han He's more serious suspicion because of it, he would not hesitate. If one dies for one's confidant, one is entrusted by the previous king to be lonely, so what is the pity of killing one's body in return?
"Smart words?" Han He frowned and said, "It's always a fact that Xiang Zhuang entrusted Wei State."

"That's just a drama played by Xiang Zhuang and Bi Shu!" Zhao Yan said, "I dare to assert that the so-called King Wei is just a puppet randomly found by Xiang Zhuang. How was the so-called Wei State ever a country? Bi Shu, the top general is Gao Chu, Xiang Zhuang only needs one word, Bi Shu can abolish King Wei, and Gao Chu can cut off King Wei's head!"

Han He said: "You can't say that, right? If Xiang Zhuang really contradicted his promise, wouldn't he be afraid of breaking his promise and going to the world?"

"The world?" Zhao Yan said, "In the future, Xiangzhuang will unify the whole of China, and the world will not belong to his Xiang family? He wants to kill someone, but there are many excuses? He doesn't even need to find any excuses, such as Zhao Gao, Li Si and his like will scramble to send excuses to him, so, how can there be a breach of trust?"

Han He nodded, and said, "I don't know what the military division means."

Han He felt that what Zhao Yan said was not unreasonable, so it was very risky to form an alliance with Chu rashly, but it was also quite dangerous to maintain the alliance with Han, so he decided not to rely on both sides and remained neutral. In the future, Chu and Han will compete to win him over, and he will be able to profit from the middle.

Han He's idea is good, as long as it is done properly, it is not impossible to have both ways.

However, Han He overlooked one of the most important facts, that is, Qi State lacks the strength to have both sides.

If Han Xin is still alive, Qi State does have the confidence and strength to have both sides, but now, speculative psychology can only bring greater disasters to Qi State.

Zhao Yan naturally guessed what Han He was thinking, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, you don't understand, it's more dangerous to remain neutral!"

"What did you say?" Han He's complexion was a little ugly, and he was a little ashamed that his thoughts were being seen through. Moreover, Han He was also an extremely conceited king. He was eager to display his ambitions, but he always felt that Zhao Yan was always Targeting him everywhere, if it wasn't for Zhao Yan or the former king Tuogu important minister, Han He might have killed someone long ago.

Hearing this tone, Zhao Yan knew that Han He was already on fire. If he made a few more fierce remonstrances, Han He might become angry from embarrassment, and sighed immediately: "My lord, instead of being neutral, it is better to join Bi Shu's team." A vertical alliance, but I always think that Daqi should join Baimo's Lianheng alliance, how to choose, but it is up to the king to decide."

Seeing Zhao Yan's tone softened, Han He couldn't take the opportunity to get angry, so he said expressionlessly: "I know what's in my heart, so please go back, military commander."

Zhao Yan gave Han He a deep bow, turned around and left silently.

It wasn't until Zhao Yan's figure disappeared that Han He snorted and said to Lou Jing: "President Guo, tell me, isn't the military advisor a bit too much?"

Lou Jing said: "The military division is worried about state affairs, so the words are a bit more intense."

Han He said: "Zhao Yan only cares about state affairs, but he has no widows."

Lou Jing said: "A military adviser is a minister of the former king Tuogu, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Your Majesty should be more considerate of him."

Han He spread his hands, and said in a bad mood: "I know that he is an important minister, and I want to be considerate of him, but should he also be considerate and considerate of me? Like him, he always contradicts me in everything, what is my prestige? Just say In the last Lixia battle, if he hadn't repeatedly stopped him, I might have taken Julu County of Zhao State long ago."

When it comes to military affairs, Lou Jing is not the director, so he simply shut his mouth immediately.

Han He said again: "Master, you said, what's wrong with the widow wanting to remain neutral? The pattern of the world is obvious. If the widow falls to the Chu state, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. The risk is too great, but if it falls to the Han state, then It will become the chicken that Chu used to terrorize monkeys, and only by remaining neutral can Qi be safe."

Lou Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, and I agree with you."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now." Han He waved his hand and said in a bad mood, "Anyway, Bai Mo will come to Zizi in a few days, so let's wait until Bai Mo and Bi Shu meet to discuss this matter." After a pause, Han He told Lou Jing again, "The Prime Minister of the State is a seasoned strategist. Take advantage of these few days to think about the way out for the Qi State."

"Here." Lou Jing bowed and turned around.

Hu Yan followed behind Bi Shu closely, but the peripheral vision of his eyes kept patrolling the pedestrians around him, and his ears fluttered slightly, listening carefully for any suspicious sounds.

The ten wolf guards who accompanied him also put their hands on the handles of their knives, fully alert.

Now that Bi Shu and his party have revealed their identities, they don't need to hide their tracks anymore.

Seeing Huyan's nervous look, Bi Shu said: "Huyan, don't worry, the people in Wumuya have sorted out the entire Linzi city last night, and the tragedy of Handan will never happen again in Linzi."

Hu Yan did not relax his vigilance at all, and said in a deep voice: "The last general is not worried about the Han people, but worried about the Qi people!"

"The Qi people don't need to worry." Bi Shu shook his head and said, "If the king of Qi really wanted to kill me, he would have done it in the palace. Why wait until this time and send people to assassinate me on the street? Isn't that too much?" Do you want to do something?"

"That's true." Hu Yan heard the same reasoning, and immediately said, "General, have you convinced King Qi?"

"That's not true." Bi Shu shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy to persuade King Qi to rebel against Han and ally with Chu? Especially Zhao Yan, the military adviser, the king's trick of entrusting Wei State may not be able to hide from him, he It is not normal to be vigilant towards me, Da Chu, it is foreseeable that Linzi will have a protracted dispute, and even..."

Seeing that Bi Shu didn't say anything, Hu Yan asked, "Even what?"

Bi Shu smiled lightly and said, "Even my senior brother will come to Linzi."

"The general is talking about Bai Mo?!" Huyan's eyes revealed murderous intent when he heard the words, and he said fiercely, "Hmph, if he dares to come, the general will definitely tell him not to come back!"

"Really?" Bi Shu looked at Huyan with a smile and said, "Maybe your old opponent will come too."

"Zhou Guanfu?!" Hu Yan clenched his hands tightly, and his knuckles made a nasty "cluck" sound due to excessive force.

Bi Shu patted Huyan on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Hu Yan followed closely, and said in astonishment: "General, are you leaving the city?"

"Don't rush back." Bi Shu said, "Go to Lou Mansion again, and wait for Lou Jing."

Outside Handan City, Bai Mo stopped his horse and turned to Bai Xuan, "General, please go back."

Zhao Wu was dead, Bai Xuan successfully took over the position, and now he is General Zhao.

"Alright." Bai Xuan bowed to Bai Mo on the horse's back, and said loudly, "I will not send you far away anymore, General."

Bai Mo nodded, and said: "After the general returns, he should vigorously purchase equipment and reorganize the military equipment. The standing army and the soldiers of the counties and counties also need to strengthen their training. There is not much time left for us."

Bai Xuan said solemnly: "Prime Minister, don't worry, this general knows it well."

Bai Mo nodded, bowed again and said, "General, please leave now."

After all, Bai Mo reined in his horse's head and rode away. Zhou Guanfu also led three hundred Han army hussars to chase after him like a wind and clouds. After a while, the three hundred or so horses disappeared into the distance, only the horizon ahead The smoke and dust on the sky gradually rose, obscuring the rising sun.

Lou Jingsu invited Bi Shu to sit on the couch, and then knelt and sat on the right side of the low couch.

Lou Jing stared at Bi Shu for a long while, then shook his head and sighed: "General, it's not easy, this matter is very difficult."

Bi Shu looked at Lou Jing, smiled and said nothing, of course he knew that this matter was difficult to handle, and he knew that Lou Jing didn't do it at all.

After all, Lou Jing had a guilty conscience, and was a little unnatural when he was scrutinized by Bi Shu. He said: "The military division strongly advocates joining the Lianheng Alliance, and his attitude is quite firm. He is the former king's Tuogu minister, and even the king can't easily veto his opinion. Therefore, Truth did not dare to say anything, this matter is really tricky."

Zhao Yan's attitude was already expected by Bi Shu, and he said immediately: "Then what is the attitude of King Qi?"

"My king didn't make a clear statement." Lou Jing shook his head, and then said pointedly, "However, it seems that the king of Chu's distribution of the king of Wei seems to be unreliable. Believe it."

Bi Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a faint hint of news at the corner of his mouth. Lou Jing, an old fox, expressed his willingness to cooperate with Chu State in front of Bi Shu on the one hand, but on the other hand he was indifferent in front of Han He. It's because he refuses to let go of half a fart. He obviously wants to steal something but doesn't want to make him feel ashamed. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It seems that he has to think of a way to drag this old fox into the water.

Lou Jing is also a smart person, how can he not know that Bi Shu has already guessed his thoughts?At that moment, he said with some embarrassment: "General, it's not because of his true nature that he doesn't want to speak in front of our king. It's just that the time hasn't come yet." When the time is right, the truth that should be said will definitely be said.”

Bi Shu smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "So, I will take my leave for the time being."
