Competing

Chapter 342 Mutual Choice
In the Palace of the King of Han, Mrs. Liu and Lu Zhi walked back and forth in the bedroom, restless for a long time.

Xiao He had brought that Han Xin back to meet the King of Han, but what was the result of this meeting?Lu's pheasant was really a little uneasy.She is a little scared now, and feels that her behavior seems a little crazy, a little irrational, and inappropriate.

I just listened to Xiao He's one-sided remarks, and I have never seen this Han Xin at all, even if I did, I couldn't be sure of his ability, especially according to the height that Xiao He said.Just based on this point, he impulsively thought that this Han Xin was a great talent, and encouraged Xiao He to leave without saying goodbye and go after him.At the same time, he tried his best to persuade his husband to accept and investigate Han Xin.

But what about this Han Xin?Can it reach the desired level?Although Xiao He strongly recommends it, there is no guarantee that Prime Minister Xiao will not miss it.The one who is coming here is a fake person, isn't this going to be a disgrace to your lord.At that time, not only his own face, Xiao He's face, but also the dignity of King Han will also be damaged.If the legend continues, the entire Han Kingdom will be a laughing stock.

Thinking of how resolutely he used that method to persuade her, the husband would definitely feel a little unhappy in his heart, and it would be fine if it was a good thing.But if this matter goes wrong, it will be a bit difficult to fight.Originally, my husband didn't like women interfering in political affairs very much, especially in this matter, as the mother of the country, I stood on the same line with the powerful prime minister.

It has always been a taboo to make friends with ministers in the harem. Although I am dedicated to serving the public, it will inevitably make my husband unhappy.Now that her husband is the King of Han, even though Bashu is relatively remote, he is still a vassal after all.Many things have to be taken into consideration. Lv Zhi pays great attention to his position in Liu Bang's heart. Apart from his own love, he also considers his son Liu Ying to a large extent.

Liu Bang is now the king of Han. After a hundred years in the future, the country of Han will always need someone to inherit it.His son Liu Ying is the eldest son, and he is also the wife of the wife, so it is only natural.But if he made a mistake and gradually became neglected, things might change.

In the past, Liu Bang might feel ashamed of himself, so he never took concubines, except for the woman in his early years and his illegitimate son Liu Fei.But after becoming the King of Han, it was different. Now there are several more concubines in the palace, and Liu Bang is just in his prime, so it will be a matter of time before he has more heirs.

Now Liu Ying is still young, Liu Fei is old, and there may be a young child below, and there will be a long way to go in the future, so Lu Zhi is inevitably a little worried.If so, these inconspicuous things suddenly become very important.

The more Lu Zhi thought about it, the more worried he became. After thinking about it, he called his confidant maid, and asked him to find a way to get some news from the front palace.Now she wants to know eagerly, what is going on with this Han Xin?The husband's attitude and mood are likely to be related to his future!

In the front hall of the palace, under the watchful eyes of Han King Liu Bang and Prime Minister Xiao He, Han Xin finally said: "Han King, going out of Bashu is just to open a road in the mountains, do you have an idea to try?"

Liu Bang smiled bitterly and said: "The Bashu Mountains are tall and stretch for thousands of miles. There may be some roads in this mountain that can connect the north and the south, but they are not known to outsiders. After so many years, there is only one to find, and the road is rugged and dangerous. Only the plank road built by people here can be unobstructed. Of course, there may be other passages in this mountain, but it will take some time to find them, and it will take a long time.

It is possible for just a few people to cross the mountains and get out of Bashu, but this army is going out of the mountains... Unless it is to rebuild the plank road, wouldn't this just tell Xiang Yu and King Sanqin that we are going out of Bashu?In that way, before we attack Guanzhong, the army of King Sanqin will march to Han. "

In addition to reassuring Xiang Yu, there was another important reason for burning the plank road, which was to prevent other princes from attacking Han.It is good to gain time to recuperate and develop savings.But as time passed, the way out of Bashu became more urgent. Many of the troops who brought them to Bashu were from Chu. The longer they stayed here, the more hopeless they would be to return to the east.The homesickness made him very uncomfortable, which seriously affected the affairs of the army, and at the same time, it was also very detrimental to the rule of Han.So Han Wang Liu Bang was really anxious during this time, and now Han Xin finally brought a glimmer of hope for himself.

Han Dao said: "Yes, it is necessary to rebuild the plank road, but you can't just hang yourself on this tree. Although the Bashu mountains are large and there are many valleys, it is not impossible to find a passage through them. arrive."

Hearing what Han Xin said, Liu Bang and Xiao He felt ecstasy in their hearts. In this way, this other channel really exists, and Han Xin also knows that this is too surprising.

Xiao He asked tremblingly: "Han Xin, you mean... there is really a way out of Bashu?"

Han Xin nodded and said: "King of Han, Prime Minister Xiao, I entered Bashu a few days later than you, and the plank road has been burned down at that time, so why don't I come?"

Liu Bang restrained the ecstasy in his heart and asked, "Han Xin, really?"

Han Xin knows that enough is enough to sell off, and the effect has been achieved, it is time.So he smiled and replied: "Yes, King of Han, there is a Chencang trail between Guanzhong and Bashu, and Han Xin went south from there. Although it is a mountain and a barren valley, as long as it is repaired by people, it can completely satisfy the passage of the army. The most important thing is that very few people know about this secret path, even the people living in the mountains don’t know everything about it, so it’s completely possible to conspire, this is the greatest advantage of the Han army and the greatest opportunity for the King of Han.”

Liu Bang was heartbroken when he heard that, and there really was a Chencang trail, so that the problem of getting out of Bashu could be solved smoothly.After several months of silence and pain, Liu Bang finally saw a glimmer of light and felt an exciting joy.It's really commendable, all of this was brought by Han Xin, but he almost left last night.It's hard to imagine that if I miss him, the loss will be immeasurable, and the hope of the Han Dynasty will be completely shattered, and it is a pity that I will never be able to call it back.

Looking at Xiao He, Liu Bang was in a complicated mood. He was extremely fortunate that Xiao He happened to be there, and fortunately he had Han Xin.

Xiao He was also very excited. With this Chencang trail, there is hope of going out of Shu, which is a great encouragement to everyone in the Han Kingdom.What excites Xiao He the most is that it turns out that his vision is not wrong, and all the previous efforts and efforts have been successful.The appearance of Han Xin and Chen Cang Xiaodao is too important to the Han Dynasty, so it brings a lot of good things and hope, and at the same time avoids many possible problems.It's so good, this time it's like a gamble, fortunately, the thing is a complete success, finally the bet is right, everyone is a winner.

Liu Bang asked: "Han Xin, where is the location of this Chencang trail? There will be no problem, right?" It is completely understandable that the question is a bit long-winded.

Han Xin said, "Don't worry, the king of Han. Han Xin has already walked this Chencang trail once, and he knows the path and terrain well. In the future, Han Wang's troops will leave Bashu and march into Guanzhong. Han Xin is willing to be a pawn and lead the way for the Han king himself!"

No matter how nice the words are, they are not as good as the real things. Naturally, this Chencang Xiaodao is his most valuable asset now, so he will not say it easily.However, he has shown enough sincerity to Liu Bang and expressed his willingness to surrender, everything depends on the King of Han's decision.

This... Liu Bang pondered for a while, and suddenly changed his words and asked: "Han Xin, it is said that you are from Huaiyin, how can you be so familiar with Qinba Mountain Forest? The local people don't know about this secret road, so how did you know?" Said To be honest, I'm happy if I'm happy, but Liu Bang still has some doubts. Now, if the secret way didn't exist and was fabricated by Han Xin, or there were other problems, then it would be nothing but joy.Furthermore, Han Xin knew of the existence of this secret path, which in itself made people a little puzzled.

Han Xin naturally knew what Liu Bang was worried about, and after a little thought, he replied: "Of course I, Han Xin, don't know about the secret way, someone told me!"

"Oh? Who? Such supernatural powers!" Liu Bang couldn't help admiring curiously.

Han Xin smiled lightly, and replied: "King of Han, do you still remember the agreement between King Yue and you?"

Yin Xu?Liu Bang was startled suddenly, Xiao He was also startled, and looked at Han Xin in front of him in astonishment.

After a long time, Han Wang Liu Bangcai asked softly: "Han Xin, are you a talent sent by Yue Wang Yin Xu?"

Han Xin nodded lightly, and replied truthfully: "Yes, Han Xin was able to come to Bashu entirely under the instruction of the King of Yue!"

Liu Bang feels deeply helpless now, thinking that when he formed an alliance in Guanzhong, Yin Xu made a vow that he would recommend talents to himself.But after waiting for such a long time and not seeing him, I thought it was Yin Xu breaking his promise, but I didn't expect that King Yue really kept his promise.It was really surprising that Liu Bang's mood was a little complicated for a while.

Xiao He asked in astonishment: "Han Xin, since you were entrusted by the King of Yue to come here, why don't you directly explain when you arrive? This way, you can avoid a lot of misunderstandings and detours?"

This question is beyond Liu Bang's comprehension. He doesn't know what tricks this Han Xin is playing.Or what does Yin Xu want to do?Now he really wants to know whether these arrangements were planned by Yin Xu in advance, or whether Han Xin made them on his own. The result of this answer may be very different.

Han Xin smiled easily and replied: "It is better to rely on one's own efforts to prove one's own strength and win other people's appreciation and respect? Or is it better to rely on other people's reputation and become the guest of others? Which one do Han Wang and Prime Minister Xiao prefer? I, Han Xin, firmly believe in the former one. Relying on external forces to gain status and honor can be done in a short period of time, but it is never long-term, and others may not be convinced and sincerely like it. A good man and husband, when you work hard, you Win career and future.

Furthermore, coming to visit the King of Han with two different identities sent by the King of Yue and myself, the meaning is completely different if I think about it.Before I came to Bashu, I was sent by the King of Yue, but after I arrived in Bashu, I thought it would be a good choice, er, to be a part of the Han Kingdom, and it seemed to be more promising. "

The meaning of what Han Xin said inside and outside the words is already very obvious. Liu Bang and Xiao He are thinking in their ears, and each has their own ideas and plans.

Liu Bang understood that Han Xin was showing his favor to him. He made it clear that this Han Xin now seemed to want to break away from his relationship with Yin Xu and put his whole heart and soul on his side.But... Ever since he learned that Han Xin was sent by Yue Wang Yinxu, he was surprised, and he was thinking about a question, that is, whether this Han Xin is credible and whether he dares to use it.

Han Xin showed enough kindness to himself, but did this kindness come from his heart, or was it planned by Yin Xu in advance?Is Han Xin's so-called serving the Han Kingdom really for his own good?Or is the ultimate goal still serving the country of Yue?
Perhaps it was because he had many opportunities to deal with Yin Xu and knew him well, which made Liu Bang feel a little afraid of losing Yin Xu all the time.Therefore, he will naturally think more about Yin Xu and Yue Guo.If Han Xin's actions were all instructed and planned by Yin Xu, then this Yue King would be terrible.

If it's just Han Xin's intention, then this person's loyal minister?Or the purpose of putting into effect seems to be questionable?This question is not clear, how could Liu Bang be at ease with Han Xin.Even if he knows the Chen Cang path from Bashu, even if his military strategy is first-rate, it is difficult to use it with confidence!

But on second thought, Han Xin probably made such a decision by himself.He has already seen Han Xin's talent. If he continues to be loyal to Yin Xu but leaves the Yue Kingdom for a long time, even if he will make some contributions in the future, he will have no foundation in the Yue Kingdom, and his future development and status will be affected.

Such a talented person should not be willing to be inferior to others casually.In such a state in the Han Dynasty, it is bound to be difficult to be reused, so the full-fledged military strategy will not be able to be used.Han Xin knows a little too much about the past, a person who can endure humiliation, he will definitely be eager for performance and opportunities to stand out.And the current state of Han is an excellent stage for him.

According to the Guanzhong strategy planned by Han Xin before, as long as the command is implemented properly, success is inevitable.At that time, the Han State developed unprecedentedly, so the generals of the Han State would rise and become famous all over the world. This seems to be in line with Han Xin's current situation.

But this is just a guess, what exactly Han Xin thinks, Liu Bang is still a little uncertain, everything has yet to be considered!

This is probably a mutual selection process!
