God of War through the ages: Han Xin

Chapter 13 The king of Han wants to conquer the world, but how can he kill the strong man!

The Han army that entered Shu this time totaled 3 people. Liu Bang had a force of 3 before, but there should be a lot of miscellaneous fish among them. Those who belonged to Liu Bang's direct line should be these [-] people.However, due to Liu Bangxian's fame, tens of thousands of princes and soldiers shed tears and expressed to Liu Bang their determination to follow the king of Han into Shu to suffer.

Presumably among these soldiers who were impressed by Liu Bang's great character, Han Xin, the former Chu army's halberd man, was there.Han Xin has already decided to jump off Xiang Yu's broken ship. He has no reason to be buried with Xiang Yu. He has the right to pursue his dream.

With Han Xin's status and financial resources in the Chu army, he still couldn't afford a horse, so he could only carry a simple package, which contained his beloved sword and some simple daily necessities.Holding a halberd, Han Xin walked cautiously on the plank road on the cliff behind the chariot of the King of Han, walking on the life journey of unknown fortune and misfortune.

Han Xin glanced at his feet casually, feeling a little dizzy. The bottom is empty and bottomless, with dense mountains and dense ridges, and few people.Occasionally, an eagle flapped its wings and flew by, and Han Xin was full of confidence. He believed that he would be able to fly three thousand miles like this eagle, and he would become the peak of Changxiao Lingjue.

Neither Liu Bang nor Xiang Yu, the leaders of the two major camps in the world, expected that a passerby who was once inconspicuous would reverse the direction of their lives.Liu Bang didn't know that Han Xin was among the people who followed him into Hanzhong, and Xiang Yu didn't know where his spearman went.

For returning Chu to Han, Han Xin was also a passive choice. If it hadn't been for Xiang Yu's reuse, Han Xin really didn't want to ask Liu Bang for food.It's just that Han Xin has stood by Xiang Yu's side for a long time, and he knows a little about Xiang Yu's temper and habits, which is also beneficial for him to seek employment in Xiang Yu's camp.How much does Han Xin know about Liu Bang?
Not to mention how many dangerous journeys it takes to go from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, but Han Xin's familiarity with the Chu army is far better than his understanding of the Han army.Although Han Xin met Liu Bang more than once when he was holding a halberd in front of Xiang Yu's tent, Liu Bang obviously didn't pay attention to this unremarkable guard.

No one cared about him except Han Xin himself.

However, Han Xin should have a certain understanding of the staffing situation of Liu Bang's camp. Needless to say, Xiao He, Li Shiqi, and Zhang Liang are all civil servants. This is not Han Xin's advantage, and Han Xin has no intention of competing with them. long.

Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han, and he had his own bureaucratic system, not counting Zhang Liang, a Korean who was "outside the system", and the head of civil servants in the Han Dynasty, none other than Prime Minister Xiao He.However, the Han Dynasty did not set up the highest officer and general of the army. It was not that Liu Bang did not expect this, but that there was really no suitable candidate.The position of a general is high and powerful, and he is not a confidant or a genius, so he dare not use it lightly.

Han Xin entered Hanzhong with the team, aiming at the position of general. The important officials of the Han king he wanted to squeeze out were the generals headed by Fan Kui.

The generals under Liu Bang include: Fan Kui, Marquis of Linwu, Xia Houying, Marquis of Zhaoping, Zhou Bo, Marquis of Might, General Lu Wan, Li Shang, Marquis of Xincheng, Jin She, Marquis of Jianwu, Guan Ying, Lord of Changwen, Fu Kuan, Lord of Gongde, plus Ji Xin, Zhou Yu and others, especially Fan Kui, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, and Lu Wan, are potential candidates for the general.If Liu Bang never met Han Xin in his life, and wanted to return east to attack Chu, he might have to pick a general out of these four people, and he would be a dead horse and a living horse doctor.

Liu Bang didn't know that a spearman in Xiang Yu's camp was following him, but even if Liu Bang knew it, so what?When Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, there were tens of thousands of soldiers from the armies of the feudal lords accompanying him, not to mention small bosses like Langzhong, middle and lower-level officers like Yilang, Che Langzhong, and Qi Langzhong were everywhere. How could Liu Bang notice Han Xin?
What is the success rate of Han Xin?Almost one in a hundred thousand!

Han Xin's top priority is not to become a general, but to quickly enter the political and military system of the Han Dynasty, even if he can be a spearman again.At least Han Xin knew one thing: being a halberd master to Liu Bang, he still has the chance to be a great general; being a halberd master to Xiang Yu, he will always be a halberd master.

Liu Bang really had a way of dealing with people. Nearly [-] soldiers left their homes and followed him forever. Liu Bang accepted this favor very much.In order to appease the morale of the army, Liu Bang rewarded the soldiers, and many of them were promoted to official or military positions.Liu Bang wants his brothers to understand one thing: follow me, Liu Bang, and everyone will eat meat.

Han Xin was also included in this award, and the position he got was "Lian Ao", to put it bluntly, he was an official who ran errands and did odd jobs.

Although Han Xin had made sufficient psychological preparations, he still showed considerable disappointment when he received the letter of appointment.Han Xin wanted to be a military officer, even a halberd wielder, but in the end he took care of weddings and weddings, and hung out with a bunch of old men who didn't know what to do all day long.Is this the goal that Han Xin is pursuing?
Han Xin's disappointment is not difficult to understand.He stood outside Xiang Yu's tent holding his halberd for so long, his patience was almost exhausted.Human patience is always limited.When people have worked hard but cannot see any hope of success, it is easy to have a passive resistance of "breaking the can and smashing".

He doesn't love his job, so naturally he can't make any achievements. Han Xin idles around all day long, dawdles around from nine to five, and gets paid on a monthly basis.But Han Xin didn't know the power of this, and thought that even if he made some mistakes in foreign-related work, it didn't matter.

"Historical Records Biography of Marquis Huaiyin": "The sitting method should be beheaded." And this time, before the name of Han Xin who was marked with a red cross, there were 13 people in the same company!It shows that this is not Han Xin who violated any law alone, such as corruption, murder, etc., it must be that the staff of the [-] Dianke family have stepped on the intolerable political red line of Han Dynasty.

Now it is no longer important to find out which political red line Han Xin has stepped on. The important thing is that Han Xin's head is about to fall!
This is the result that Han Xin, who returned to the Han Dynasty with his back to the Han Dynasty, traveled through life on the plank road, and firmly believed that his great ideals would be realized, was absolutely unexpected.Han Xin thought that Hanzhong would be his place of rebirth, but he did not expect that he would die here, and in such a shameful way: wearing a prison uniform, kneeling on the ground in a state of panic, with his bun scattered behind his head, and the executioner holding the ghost's head Knife, with both arms, a cold shadow flashed by, a jet of blood spurted out, and a human head rolled far away on the ground...

Is this the life result that Han Xin pursues?How can heaven make such a joke!

This is really not a joke. This is a real scene that happened in a certain execution ground in Nanzheng. Fourteen criminals knelt down in an open space, and two swordsmen took turns to execute the execution task.Not far away, there sat a senior official of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Ping Hou, and the eunuch Xia Hou Ying, who was sent by Liu Bang to supervise and execute the fourteen criminals.

Kneeling on the far left side of the criminal line, waiting in fear for the moment when the cold light wiped his neck, Han Xin with disheveled hair was already on the verge of crying.What did Han Xin think of at this time?He thought of the embarrassment of being rejected by Mrs. Ting Chang; Piao Mu's eyes full of maternal warmth; Evil Young's spread legs, insultingly beckoning himself to crawl over his crotch like a dog; he also thought of Before joining Xiang Liang's army, he knelt in front of his dead mother's grave and wept bitterly.

Faced with the contempt of almost everyone, Han Xin survived with perseverance. Could it be that Han Xin just wanted to insist on his physical existence?Do not!Han Xin is going to be a general and a prime minister, and Qing Shi Le Gong.He wants to prove to history that he can change everyone's life, and this is the ultimate success of a person.

Proud princes and grandsons will never bow their noble heads to fate.

But now, Han Xin's head is about to fall to the ground, all his dreams will be turned into a bunch of bubbles, and he will never have a chance to wash away the humiliation of his crotch, and his life is over.Had he known that life would end like this, Han Xin might as well have stabbed the evil young man to death with a sword. Even if he paid his life according to the law, at least he could leave a tall and tall hero in the bloody rivers and lakes. suffer.

It's too late to regret now, but Han Xin still can't persuade himself who is about to die to accept this cruel fate. It's really not worth dying in this way!
Just when Han Xin was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw the head rolling in front of him, with blood splashing all over his body.When Han Xin looked intently, the thirteen colleagues who were beheaded at the same time had already been divided into two parts.

Han Xin is a soldier. He has killed many enemies on the battlefield. He has killed too many people. He has witnessed too many life and death partings. He has a unique open-mindedness towards life.It's just that Han Xin personally witnessed the parting of life and death today as a tortured person. Seeing the god of death approaching him with a big knife and a smile, a group of little ghosts slowly opened the gate of hell and warmly invited Han Xin to come to hell to settle down.

struggle!This is a subconscious reaction that a person often has before passive death.

It's just that Han Xin is so tied up that he can't move at all.Time waited for no one, the executioner had already walked behind Han Xin, and stroked Han Xin's messy hair to the side of his neck with his rough hands.Then he tried lightly on Han Xin's neck with the handle of the knife, which is the usual action of executioners.

Han Xin suddenly felt a chill down his spine, knowing that this moment was finally coming.Han Xin raised his head subconsciously, he was still unwilling to die like this, he was still looking for the last chance to survive in desolation.Suddenly, Han Xin saw the beheading official sitting not far away.Han Xin recognized that it was Xia Houying, the eunuch, and Xia Houying also noticed Han Xin. After all, he was the last criminal to be killed. After killing this person, he can go back to work.

Chance!There was a flash of inspiration in Han Xinxin's mind. He knew that this would be his last chance to survive.

Han Xin shouted hoarsely at Xia Houying: "Oh heaven! I am sorry for the great man. The king of Han initially settled in Guanzhong, but he was deceived by the king of Chu and moved here. The king of Han, all the ministers, and the tigers and wolves are all from the east. How can they Don’t you think of a prosperous hometown? The king of Chu slaughtered all directions, and the people and gods were all angry. Who can cut this murderer for the world, but who is not the king of Han?

Xia Houying was not far away from Han Xin, and Han Xin's "death words" Shunfeng spread to his ears, Xia Houying's heart was shocked, this person speaks well.Looking at his appearance, although he is kneeling and tied to the ground, he is tall and tall. Although his face is not beautiful, he is very strong. He is indeed a strong man!

Xia Houying immediately stopped the executioner and asked the executioner to put down the ghost knife that had been held above Han Xin's neck, and put Han Xin in front of him. He wanted to ask questions.Who would dare not listen to Duke Teng's words? The executioner murmured in a low voice that this boy was really lucky, and picked up the rope that cut Han Xin's arms backwards, and carried Han Xin half kneeling and half walking to the table of Lord Teng.

The moment Han Xin shouted, he was actually making a last-ditch effort of fate. Once Xia Houying didn't respond to him, Han Xin would put his head on the ground, but fortunately, Han Xin won the bet.When Han Xin was brought to Xia Houying's table, his already desperate mood improved slightly, but now it is only a "death reprieve". If he can't persuade Xia Houying to appreciate him, he still cannot escape death.

The distance between the two got closer, and Xia Houying seemed a little restless. He faintly felt that there was something abnormal in the atmosphere, but he couldn't say what was abnormal.Could it be that the abnormal feeling was brought about by the gangster criminal in front of him?Xia Houying looked at Han Xin carefully again, trying to find the answer from Han Xin's eyes.

Although Xia Houying is half a martial artist, he doesn't have the violent temper of Fan Kuai, and his personality traits are closer to Xiao He's, more calm and thick.Xia Houying understood what Han Xin said just now, chewed it carefully, and found that there was a lot of mystery in it.

What Han Xin said is right, Liu Bang has a big heart and aspires to the world, and he will never be willing to stay in Hanzhong and die rich.Xia Houying was Liu Bang's close friend in Peixian County. He was once imprisoned and suffered for Liu Bang. The relationship between the two was extraordinary, so he knew Liu Bang very deeply.But what made Xia Houying curious was how did the criminal in front of him know that Liu Bangzhi was in the world?
Xia Houying didn't know this person, but he seemed to have seen him somewhere, but what was certain was that this person was not from Pei. Even though they were both from Chu, there was still a certain difference in the Chu dialect between Peixian and Huaiyin.Xia Houying is full of curiosity and interest in this mysterious figure. Maybe this person is a genius who is unappreciated. If he can be a Bole once, dig jade and unearth it for great use, it will be a great merit for future generations.

"Historical Records Biography of Huaiyin Marquis": "(Xia Houying) and (Han Xin) speak a lot."

Sima Qian did not record in detail what Xia Houying said to Han Xin, but Xia Houying would not gossip about celebrities with Han Xin, and Han Xin didn't know about it.The two talked affirming the military and state affairs of the world. As the core minister of the Han Kingdom, Xia Houying had the responsibility to serve the Han Kingdom wholeheartedly. This was exactly what Xia Houying wanted to hear eagerly.

Teng Gong ordered: untie the rope on this person, and invite him to the table to listen to the respect.

What Han Xin was waiting for was this opportunity. Don’t say that today’s beheading forced Han Xin to shock Teng Gong. What does Hanzhong do?
Han Xin settled down, and then spoke eloquently, talking about his mysterious family background, when he was in Huaiyin, he was favored by his mother for a meal, and he was humiliated by the evil young man.Of course, these are just casual articles, Xia Houying doesn't care where you are from or what your experience is, but wants to know your different views on the current situation in the world.

Of course, what Xia Houying paid special attention to was that this Lian Ao named Han Xin was originally Xiang Yu's spearman in front of Xiang Yu's tent. Xia Houying knew that Xiang Yu was Liu Bang's biggest opponent in the world, so he had to understand Xiang Yu in all aspects and always be by Xiang Yu's side Han Xin who serves is undoubtedly the best channel.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Han Xin roughly told Xia Houying about his understanding of Xiang Yu, and at the same time expressed his views on the current situation in the world, such as why Xiang Yu did not guard the middle of the pass and returned to the east, why Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi were established as the three Qin's sons. Wang, the attitude of the Kwantung princes towards Xiang Yu, and the role of the old counselor Fan Zengzhi towards Xiang Yu.

Xia Houying was delighted, which means that Han Xin's goal has been fully achieved, the threat of death has been completely removed, and he is now the guest of honor of the servant.What Han Xin needs to do now is to wait for Han Wang Liu Bang to be summoned, and then Han Xin points eastward in the hall, transports stones for soldiers, raises sand for food, scares the Han King with big words, and talks and laughs to rule the world.
