Competing

Chapter 523 Fan Yang Kuaiche
While the whole country of Yue was celebrating the birth of the prince, Han Xin, the Generalissimo of the Han Dynasty, had already launched an attack on the country of Yan.After recovering Chenggao and resolving the Xingyang crisis, Han King Liu Bang sent Han Xin to lead the army to launch an offensive against Yan and Qi in order to deal with Western Chu as soon as possible. encirclement.

Taking charge of the military power again and going abroad has always been what Han Xin was looking forward to. This time is also his last chance to make a big deal.

But when the army gathered in Zhaodi, Han Xin stopped and did not rush for success.This battle between Yan and Qi is very important. Victory is one aspect, and it is more related to his next development. There is only one chance, so Han Xin must be cautious.

It is a good habit that Han Xin has developed for a long time to have a complete battle plan before starting the war.Especially this time, because of the temporary end of the war in Zhao, when it reopens now, the situation between Yan and Qi is much more complicated.For this reason, Han Xin specially called Li Zuoche, a general who knew more about the situation of the Hebei princes and was also quite prominent in military strategy, to discuss this matter with him.

Han Xin asked with a smile: "General Li, what do you think about this attack on Yan and Qi?"

Li Zuoche smiled lightly and said: "I heard that a defeated general cannot speak bravely, and a subjugated minister dare not talk about politics. Now I am a defeated general. Although I have served under your command, my time is still short and my qualifications are still inexperienced. Don’t dare to rush into big things.”

Han Xin made an analogy: "I heard that when Bailixi was in Yu State, Yu State perished, and Qin State ruled Qin State. This is not because he was stupid when he was in Yu State, but smart when he was in Qin State. His opinion. If Cheng Anjun and Chen Yu had listened to your plan, then I, Han Xin, would be a prisoner now. Now that the commander-in-chief is sincerely asking you for advice on this matter, what does the general think?"

Li Zuoche shook his head lightly and said: "Marshal, marching troops, fighting battles and even military strategy matters, the Marshal is so sincere to inquire, the general dare not refuse. It's just that the battle between Yan and Qi is not only a military issue, but also a matter of military strategy. In addition to politics and many other issues, the general is not familiar with this aspect, so he dare not speak nonsense."

"Alas!" Han Xin sighed softly, and he was right as Li Zuoche said.Both myself and Li Zuoche are good at military combat, but they are not very familiar with political strategy.A rather thorny problem, or a problem that has been troubling Han Xin all the time, came to the surface again, that is, the lack of resourceful and well-planned masterminds!

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had Fan Zeng, Liu Bang, the king of Han, had Zhang Liang, and Yin Xu, the king of Yue, had Li Si and Wei Liao, but he had always lacked such a mastermind.This is also a long time, my own affairs have not developed, except that the timing is not enough, it is because of the lack of a person to help me plan.If he just wanted to be the Generalissimo of the Han Army, it was not a big deal, but if he wanted to have other ideas, it would be fatal.

When Liu Bang came to Zhaodi suddenly last time, Han Xin had such a feeling, and now such a regret is particularly obvious.Where to look for such a person?Is it because my luck is not good enough?Han Xin was very depressed about this.

Li Zuoche seemed to see Han Xin's thoughts, and said, "Marshal, maybe the last general can solve the marshal's problems?"

"Oh? The general knows about my difficulties?" Han Xin asked with great interest.

Li Zuoche asked: "Marshal is worried about the counselor?"

"Does General Li know such a talent?" Han Xin suddenly lit up.

Li Zuo said: "Yes, there is indeed such a person, the Marshal may give it a try!"

"Who is it?" Han Xin hurriedly asked, which showed that he was in urgent need of counselors.

"Fan Yang debater Kuai Che!"

……

Kuai Che, a native of Gucheng Town, Fanyang, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was talented and far-sighted, especially good at verbal debates. To some extent, he had the talents of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. "Historical Records of Tian Dan Biography" records "From Kuai Che, who is good at long and short, discusses the contingencies of the Warring States, and there are 81 poems. He has been looking for opportunities and has the ambition to assist the Ming Lord to achieve achievements.

The first time Kuai Che became famous all over the world was in August of the first year of Qin II, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled.With a keen eye and good at talking about right and wrong, he immediately lobbied Xu Gong, the magistrate of Fanyang County, to analyze the current situation for him, explaining the stakes and persuading Xu Gong to surrender Zhao Wang Wu Chen, and persuaded Zhao Wang Wu Chen to accept Xu Gong, the magistrate of Fanyang County, surrendered, spread the message for thousands of miles, and conquered more than [-] cities without fighting.You can see the benefits of its words!

A person who is good at lobbying must be able to grasp the advantages and disadvantages of each other and seek solutions in the most appropriate way.This kind of person is definitely not limited to the benefit of words, but also has quick thinking and superb insight. He can control and analyze the situation, and his talents, learning and resourcefulness are extraordinary.

Kuai Che is highly intelligent and experienced, and can be said to be a good counselor.No, to be precise, it should be a mastermind, not even inferior to Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.It is very easy for such a person to seek development. In this era of turmoil and vassal hegemony, for many monarchs and vassals, they are talents that can be met but not sought after. It can be said that the demand is very strong.But Kuai Che seems to be a genius, and his experience is also very strange. He even "lost his job"!

Since the first year of Qin II, Kuai Che has almost disappeared. During this period of time, he was hardly seen in the military and political fields.Even in the state where Chu and Han were fighting each other, and the Yue Kingdom was in a state of sudden emergence, it can be said that the princes of all parties are in urgent need of talents, and all of them are eager to seek talents.It stands to reason that a great talent like Kuai Che has long been won over and reused by others, but this is not the case.

In addition to the lack of opportunity, there is another very important reason, and that is to find the reason from Kuai Che himself.Kuai Che is a very conceited person. He has great ambitions. He really wants to assist a monarch, a monarch who is not an ordinary generation.Kuai Che has a high opinion of himself, and it can be said that during this period of time he has never encountered a wise master.For example, before assisting Zhao Wang Wuchen, he was just a mediocre person, without any great achievements and prospects.Kuai Che naturally didn't want to waste any more time on this kind of person, so he naturally avoided him.Therefore, during this period of ups and downs, he has been wandering in obscurity.Recently, Peng Yue, who was entrenched in the Waihuang area, tried to contact him, but Kuai Che was not impressed. Obviously, Peng Yue had not yet caught his eye.and also
Some people also said that Kuai Che was completely self-inflicted, not that he was unrecognized for his talents, but that the problem still lies with himself.He himself can put down his figure and take the initiative to serve under the command of the princes and kings.In this year and month, it is quite difficult to expect someone to be invited by a corporal who is respectful and worthy. It is still difficult to make a name for yourself.If you want to show off your ambitions, you have to take the initiative yourself.

There are at least three people in the world who can go to join them. Liu Bang, King of Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu, King of Western Chu, or Yin Xu, King of Yue in the South, are all promising monarchs, but Kuai Che did not go.The reason for this is that Gain Kuai Che had the same idea as Chen Ping back then.That is to be the best one if you want to do it, and become the most important counselor by the king's side.

The King of Han had Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu had Fan Zeng, the King of Yue had Chen Ping, Li Si and Wei Liao.This thing does not mean that the latecomers will win. No matter where Kuai Che goes, he will never be the most important schemer.It is very likely that they will not be reused. Isn't it depressing to be full of talents and not be reused.Kuai Che didn't want to end up like this for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to be so mediocre.

It has to be said that Chen Ping's luck is much better than Kuai Che's in this regard. He made a move early, and he has a very good eye on Yin Xu, the king of Yue.Therefore, to become the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom today, of course, he took a great risk at the beginning, and bet on his life's future in exchange for today's glory, which shows that these things are very risky.

Kuai Che didn't have such good luck, so there is still no improvement today, and he is still wandering around the Central Plains with his talents unappreciated.The princes of all countries are busy fighting, but few people care about this great talent.Maybe some kind of counselor is so powerful that they gradually ignored it.Kuai Che also seems to be submerged in the torrent of history, and many people seem to have forgotten his existence.

But Li Zuoche did not forget that when Kuaiche was in Zhao to help the original Zhao Wang Wuchen, he had many activities in Zhao.Therefore, Li Zuoche is very familiar with him, and has been paying attention to this person's whereabouts.Seeing Han Xin worried about this matter today, he naturally thought of it.In fact, by staying by Han Xin's side all the time, Li Zuoche could somewhat feel some of Han Xin's thoughts.The so-called peace is what comes, now that he is a general under Han Xin's command, he naturally has to consider everything for him.With Kuai Che's help, Han Xin can be said to be even more powerful.

Hearing Li Zuoche's words, Han Xin was suddenly excited. God really helped me, this Kuaiche was a talent tailor-made for him.Perhaps in the eyes of other princes, Kuai Che is nothing more than a man of high talent and learning, but to Han Xin, he is simply a treasure.

What I need is such a person, who has talent, learning and strategy. The key is that he has no loyal people so far, and I just lack a mastermind who can help me plan well.It can be said that it is just right, even if Kuai Che has a high vision, Han Xin believes that he can impress him.Because I can give him enough space to let him fully display his talents and strategies.Presumably he won't refuse, right?Han confidently guessed secretly.

Finally, he asked: "General Li, where is Mr. Kuai Che now?" The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of this great talent. Han Xin has already decided that he is the mastermind he needs!
