Competing

Chapter 384
When Liu Bang was standing outside the city of Feiqiu, he was full of emotions, when a handsome figure was walking with his head held high, and soldiers and soldiers bowed their heads when they met them along the way, showing extremely polite and respectful expressions.

This person is none other than Han Xin, the Marshal of the Three Armies who led the Han army northward to raid Zhanghan and leave Bashu with the plan of building plank roads and crossing Chencang secretly.When Han Xin first arrived in Nanzheng, he was not taken seriously. Even after he ascended the altar and became the marshal of the three armies, he temporarily stabilized the morale of the army and his own position by suppressing Fan Kuai.But it didn't convince the generals of the Han army.

But now, when everyone is really standing in Guanzhong, they really believe that Marshal Han can really lead them out of Bashu.Moreover, the military strategy and intelligence displayed by Han Yuanshu are not inferior to Yong Wang Zhanghan at all.At this moment, no one doubted Han Xin's ability anymore, but instead showed great respect to the young commander.Han Xinxin proved himself in fact, and really convinced the Han army.

Han Wang Liu Bang stood where he was, saw Han Xin approaching from a distance, and immediately excitedly said: "Han Xin, come here later!"

"See King Han!" Han Xin bowed to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang hastily waved his hand, and pulled Han Daolu: "Han Xin, don't be so polite! Alas, if it weren't for you... until now, I don't believe this is true. I didn't expect that my long-cherished dream of returning to Guanzhong would come so soon. It's done."

Han Xin shook his head and said: "The king of Han is serious. You are the destiny. How can the small Bashu mountains stop you? Han Xin just followed the trend and followed the will of heaven to be the pawn of the king of Han!"

Liu Bangdao: "Marshal Han is polite. All in all, this time is really thanks to Marshal Han. I will keep this great kindness in my heart. I will give you a reward after the Guanzhong is settled and the great cause is achieved."

Han Xin shook his head and said: "My lord, you know that I, Han Xin, don't care about any rewards. Han Xin has always had a wish to follow a wise master and achieve great achievements. I have been depressed before. If I didn't follow the King of Han, Han Xin would How can there be such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Han Xin should thank the King of Han for his kindness. As for the rest, Han Xin should fulfill his duty as a courtier, and the King of Han should not mind it!"

At this moment, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was in an excited mood, and he was always smiling. Hearing Han Xin's humility made him feel very happy.He laughed loudly and said, "Han Xin, it is my blessing to be able to get such a great man like you. I should thank God for letting you come to my side." He is satisfied with Han Xin in every way, not to mention the excitement in his heart. How high it is.

Just being able to get out of Bashu is very commendable. If it weren't for Han Xin's appearance, I don't know how long I was trapped in that remote mountain.Moreover, the military talent shown by Han Xin is exactly what he needs. With such a person, the pacification of Guanzhong is just around the corner.But while being excited, he also thought of an indisputable fact that although a talent like Han Xin was arranged by God, he deeply knew that many of them were the result of the arrangement that Yue Wang Yinxu thought.

In other words, today's situation, or today's ability to leave Bashu Dingguanzhong is the result Yin Xu wanted, and it was even Yin Xu's prior arrangement.Liu Bang didn't dare to imagine that although he had achieved a huge victory, he still felt defeated in his heart.It seems that many of today's situations were directed by Yin Xu, which somewhat frustrated his self-confidence.

Liu Bang shook his head secretly in his heart, and instantly denied such an idea, he must have thought too much.how is this possible?Yin Xu is not a god, how could he predict what will happen in the future?Prophet?Perhaps Yin Xu deliberately let himself contain Xiang Yu, but Yin Xu's control seems to be a bit weak, the current situation is not what he expected, right?At least Han Xin?Liu Bang secretly sighed in his heart, I hope it is so!
At this moment, Liu Bang had a feeling that Xiang Yu seemed powerful, but he was not afraid at all.On the contrary, Yin Xu, even though he only occupies a corner of Jiangdong, made him feel uneasy.He seems to have never seen Yin Xu clearly, and he always seems to have a slight fear of Yin Xu in his heart.These things that exist in the subconscious may not even be clear to Liu Bang himself.

At this moment, Liu Bang saw a burly and brave general approaching from a distance, and immediately waved: "Fan Kui, come here!"

The person who came over was Fan Kui, a general of the Han army. When he saw Han Xin here, Fan Kui's expression turned dark, and he even wanted to turn around and leave immediately.But after all, it was the king of Han who summoned him, and it was impossible to just walk away.Seeing this scene, Han Xin couldn't help showing a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"See the King of Han!" Fan Kui came over to greet Liu Bang, his expression a little unnatural.

Liu Bang responded, pretending to be displeased, and asked, "Fan Kuai, why doesn't Marshal Han greet you here?"

Fan Kui turned his head and glanced at Han Xin, rather reluctantly, hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I've seen Marshal Han!"

Han Xin just smiled at Liu Bang and didn't speak.

When he was in the Han Dynasty, Han Xin first won the favor and trust of Liu Bang. When he became the Generalissimo of the Han Dynasty, Fan Kui showed the most aggrieved.At the same time of fierce opposition, Fan Kui also made insulting remarks to Han Xin, and even insulted him.At that time, in order to establish his prestige, Han Xin threw Han Xin into the prison in a rage, and he didn't come out until he left Bashu a few days ago.

Regarding this matter, Fan Kui has always been brooding about it. Although he got an explanation from other people, he is still a little unhappy in his heart.Therefore, I am quite dissatisfied with Han Xin, but after all, Han Xin offered this strategy to get out of Bashu, and now he has a very high status in the army and in the eyes of the King of Han.So I can only keep my dissatisfaction in my heart, and avoid meeting each other at the same time, so as to avoid some embarrassment.

I was unfortunately met by Liu Bang today, it can be said that it was inevitable, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.When I saw Han Xin, I didn't know how to speak.

Liu Bang chuckled, he naturally knew where the crux between the two generals was, and today he took this opportunity to mediate the small conflict between the generals under his command.After all, one is a wizard who has made great contributions to the upstart, and the other is a confidant general who has followed him for many years and has made great military exploits.Now is the time for employing people, if there is no harmony because of these hours, Liu Bang knows very well how many things will be delayed.

Liu Bang smiled and said, "Fan Kuai, now you know, you can actually guess the greatness of Marshal Han? Why don't you apologize to Marshal Han for those stupid words before!"

Fan Kui's personality was always a bit stubborn, but now he was pouting, a bit reluctant.

Han Xin on the side also knew everything in his heart, although Fan Kui touched the greatest shame in his heart, and he wanted to deal with him deliberately.When he had to understand the overall situation, he was very clear about Fan Kui's relationship with Liu Bang and his status in Liu Bang's heart.At that time, Fan Kuai was imprisoned to establish his prestige, so that the three armies feared and obeyed orders.

Now that the man has been released by the King of Han, there is nothing else to say, and it is the time for employing men, no matter what Fan Kui says, he thinks he is a brave warrior.Now the king of Han scolded Fan Kui, it was for his own face, and it was also for himself and Fan Kui to step down.Why can't Han Xin see it? Naturally, this smooth flow of favor must be done, and at the same time, it is also to show a mind that matches his status.

Han Xin then smiled and waved his hands: "The king of Han is serious. Speaking of which, I should apologize to General Fan. I had no choice but to treat General Fan harshly."

Face is given to each other. Although Fan Kui knew that Fan Kui intended to use himself to gain power, but the facts were in front of him. If he hadn't spoken disrespectfully, why would this flame burn on him?In the final analysis, it was all his own fault. Although Fan Kui seemed careless, he was also a rough and subtle person. At that time, he said with a smile: "Marshal Han, Fan Kui is guilty, Fan Kui was wrong in the past, please forgive me!"

Han Xin said with a smile: "What do you understand? We are all courtiers of the King of Han, so let's not talk about it. Now the most urgent thing is to find a way to make more military exploits for the King of Han, so that the Kingdom of Han can be further developed!"

Liu Bang laughed, this is the situation he wants to see the most at present, and he is happy with the obedience and understanding of his subjects.This little matter is understood in this way, and now the most important thing for him is how to calm down the Guanzhong as soon as possible in the war against King Yong Zhanghan.Only by obtaining Guanzhong, which is the foundation, only in this way can we have the foundation to compete for the world.

Liu Bang asked: "Marshal Han, what should we do in the next battle? This Zhang Han..."

Han Xin said with a smile: "This... the King of Han, don't worry. In the battle of Feiqiu, Zhang Han lost his troops and lost his generals. It is no longer a good thing. He only fled with a small number of remnants of the defeated generals. If Dong Yi and Sima Xin hadn't supported him, he would have been completely defeated. Now It’s just that the remnant soldiers have been defeated all the time, so there is no need to worry at all!”

Fan Kuai said: "But after all, Dong Yi and Sima Xin still have a large army, so it's not easy to deal with them!"

Han Xin shook his head and said: "No, if you want to rule a region and control it for a long time, you can't do it with swords and soldiers alone. The people's hearts are the key. Back then Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu, so that 20 Qin surrendered. Being murdered has always been hated by the people in Guanzhong, and most of them are their children. Therefore, Zhang Han and other three Qin kings did not have a good impression, and the people's hearts have always been unwilling to submit.

Conversely, the King of Han was known for his benevolence and righteousness. If the people in Guanzhong were allowed to make a choice, the result would be obvious. What would there be to worry about if a remnant army that could not get the support of the people would be defeated?The real scary thing about the Three Kings of Qin is only Zhang Han, and now most of his King Yong's army has been dispersed, Dong Yi and Sima Xin... Humph! "

"But they are from the same line after all. Dong Yi and Sima Xin were still Zhang Han's generals back then, so there is no guarantee that they will not be united..." Fan Kui was not without worry.

Han Xin shook his head and said: "It is true that they came from the same line back then, because Dong Yi and Sima Xin were deployed by Zhang Han, but now they are the princes and kings entrusted by Xiang Yu, and they are equal. Will they still obey Zhang Han's orders? There will be small calculations? This is not necessarily the case."

Upon seeing this, Liu Bang asked: "Marshal Han, from what you said, it seems that you have already made up your mind?"

Han Xin nodded slightly.He smiled and said: "Since the King of Han entrusted Han Xin with the important task of pacifying the pass, Han Xin will naturally go all out to give the King a satisfactory explanation. I have already made arrangements for how to deal with King Sanqin. Please wait for the good news. Also, prepare to enter Xian/Yang City."

Seeing Han Xin's understatement and swearing, Liu Bang couldn't help but not believe it, and great joy surged in his heart. If this is the case, it would be great.

Fan Kui felt itchy, and asked curiously: "Marshal Han, can you tell me about your tricks, so that we can feel at ease and learn from them!"

Han Xin said with a smile: "General Fan, just feel at ease, nothing will happen to this matter, just wait for the good news!" Saying this, he bowed to Liu Bang, the king of Han, and left.

Fan Kui looked at the back of Han Xin wandering away, and asked suspiciously: "King of Han, is Han Xin really okay? Is he talking too much?"

Han Wang Liu Bang shook his head lightly: "No, Han Xin is full of confidence, he does things in a measured manner, and he is quite cautious. gone."

Fan Kui glanced suspiciously at Liu Bang, the King of Han, and he said it was true, but he could clearly see from Liu Bang's face that there was still some deep worry in the excitement.Since the King of Han is unwilling to say more, it is inconvenient for him as a courtier to ask more.Since that Han Xin made a strong promise and the King of Han was full of confidence, he just had to wait.

Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, was indeed worried. He was really excited about such a great event when he left Bashu to settle in the middle of the pass.All because of Han Xin, the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Han Dynasty, a great military genius.But he is not his confidant, even though Han Xin keeps saying that he will be loyal to him and will help him fight for the world.

But an indisputable fact is before us, that is, Han Xin used to belong to Yue Wang Yinxu after all, and Liu Bang has no choice but to use Han Xin now.But the greater the great success, the more intense the uneasiness in his heart. He didn't know that when Han Xin made new achievements to help him pacify Guanzhong, would he still hand over the military power to him with confidence?
Just in case...if he continues to have a broken relationship with Yin Xuyou, or if he is Yin Xu's person from the bottom up...even if not, Liu Bang has to consider a very realistic question, what will he do for a great talent like Han Xin? No selfishness?Don't have your own little Jiujiu?These things made Liu Bang very uncomfortable.Looking at Han Xin's majestic and confident back, he felt worried.

While eager to win, he was also worried about the victory. For a while, Liu Bang's mood was quite complicated.

After Han Xin returned to the barracks, he immediately asked, "Have you heard from Sima Xin?"

"Marshal, Sima Xin has already replied. There is news from Pengcheng, asking Zhang Han to control the troops in Guanzhong and resist us!"

"Oh?" Han Xin said with a little joy at the corner of his mouth, "If this is the case, it means that Xiang Yu has no intention of sending troops to Guanzhong for the time being. This is also a great opportunity for us."

"Now that Qi and Chu are in a stalemate, Qi Guotian Rong is Xiang Yu's confidant. Now he is like a man, he has no chance, and he can't spare the energy to manage us, so I hope Zhang Han can stop the Han army. Who knows that Zhang Han has no power to fight back in front of the marshal, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng may have made a mistake this time..." The general beside Han Xin was speaking, Guan Ying.

Han Dao said: "That's right, Xiang Yu's army must have been restrained by the Qi State, and he couldn't act rashly. Let Zhang Han control the troops in Guanzhong. If the hills are not abandoned, it may be okay. But now... Zhang Han is down, and the other two You may not be willing to hand over the army to him."

"That's right, according to the Marshal's arrangement, we went to lobby Sima Xin. Sima Xin knew that Xiang Yu's rescue was hopeless, and he knew that sooner or later he would not be the opponent of our Han army. So he made a wise choice. He agreed with the Marshal's proposal and was willing to join The King of Han, I hope the King of Han will treat him favorably."

Han Xin smiled faintly, Sima Xin was considered sensible, and now there was no other way for him.Without Xiang Yu's support, their Three Qin Kings are not our opponents at all, and it is only a matter of time before they are eaten.Instead of surrendering when the time comes to a desperate situation, it is better to cooperate with us now to obtain the greatest benefits.As for the favor, the King of Han will naturally treat him favorably, but this is not what he can decide.

"Pass down the order to attack Zhang Han and Dong Yi immediately, and tell Sima Xin to let him attack Zhang Han and Dong Yi from behind." Han Xin then issued his own order.Then he added: "By the way, Zhang Han and Dong Yi's troops can be wiped out, but Zhang Han and Dong Yi himself, especially Zhang Han himself, should not be harmed. The commander will make his own arrangements later. As for Sima Xin... Try to force Dong Yi's army in his direction, and let them calm down for a while, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

……

In a field in Guanzhong, a young woman in Shunlin walked slowly, and came to an old man with long beards, and beside the old man stood a beautiful young woman.

"Midnight, come here! Are you ready?"

These three people are Wei Liao, Ying Ziye and Ying Shiman.After Ying Ziye went north to Shangjun to pay homage to Fusu, he had already returned to Guanzhong to stay with his aunt, Wei Liao and the others, and was going to go to Yue Kingdom to meet Yin Xu when the time came.

"Auntie, everything is ready, are we leaving?" Ying Ziye asked softly after a moment of sweetness, "Mr. Wei Liao, shall we leave now?"

"It's about time, it's almost time to go to Yue country, we should go there too." Wei Liao replied.

"Is that going to leave immediately?" Ying Ziye said slightly impatiently.

Wei Liao smiled lightly: "Ziye, before that, we have to wait to bring someone with us!"
