Chapter 538 False Qi King

Kuai Che asked directly, and Han Xin knew it well.Liu Bang, the King of Han, was already full of anger when he sent troops directly to Qi State, resulting in Li Shiqi being killed, but he was restrained by the situation.

Because of the strength in his hands, Han Xin also went his own way and directly ignored Liu Bang.But this is not a long-term solution after all, the relationship between each other will have to face sooner or later.

Now that the state of Qi is basically in control, the business has a foundation, and it is more confident to speak and do things.Now that I still bear the title of Marshal of the Han Dynasty, this title is obviously no longer suitable, but how to change it needs to be careful.If you want to achieve great development, you must have a legitimate name, and name rectification is also an imminent thing.

Han Xin asked, "What do you think, sir?"

"There are two choices!" Kuai Che said: "The first is to leave the Marshal completely away from the Han Kingdom, and then establish himself as the king. The second is to still admit that he is a courtier of the Han Kingdom, and then write a letter to let Liu Bang be the king."

independent?King?Han Xin muttered to himself, and then said: "Is there any difference? What is there in it?"

Kuai Che replied: "No matter what you do, the Marshal now has this strength; no matter what, the Marshal is the actual controller of Yan Qi, and he may be crowned with the title of King Qi. The difference is that if he is self-reliant, the Marshal must have Although it is only a false name to be charged with betraying the old master, it is not a good thing for the marshal in the long run.

Also, if you are self-reliant, it will undoubtedly make people in the world understand that the marshal attacked Qi State for his own benefit, causing the loss of life and causing Li Shiqi to be unjustly killed.Will the people of Qi state discount the acceptance of Marshal?Damage to the marshal's reputation will also benefit Liu Bang.In Kuai's view, the gain outweighs the loss. "

Han Xin nodded lightly: "What about the latter? According to reality, would Liu Bang be willing to apply to Liu Bang for the canonization of the Commander-in-Chief?"

"He has to be willing if he doesn't want to!" Kuai Che replied confidently, saying, "When the marshal leaves, Liu Bang will lose his arms. Even though he hates the marshal so much, he still wants to win over the marshal in name. Marshal’s contribution is so great now, are there any other rewards for being canonized as king? Zhang Er can be the king of Zhao, how about you, Marshal? What’s more, you offered to be canonized, Liu Bang will not easily refuse.

And in this way, it will be smooth, and the previous things will still be counted on them.It's just a false name, just like Liu Bang asked Tian Guang to be a minister before, it's just a reason, but it's just a false name.However, Marshal, your strength and ability will naturally need to fight a lot, which is naturally not the same.If Liu Bang is unwilling, he can justify Liu Bang's stinginess and treating heroes less... At that time, it will be easy for the marshal to break away from the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, and he can achieve both fame and fortune, so why not do it? "

Kuai Che is very thoughtful, he is planning for Han Xin as much as possible now, he has considered all aspects of things, and he is really conscientious.

Han Xin couldn't help thinking, what Kuai Che said made sense, how should he act?In fact, he originally wanted to be completely self-reliant, but after Kuai Che's persuasion, he couldn't help but have other ideas.The pros and cons, and the reputational ramifications.If you want to achieve great things, reputation is also a crucial issue.

Kuai Che continued: "Marshal, for the sake of the future, dividing the world into four parts is not a long-term solution. In your opinion, who will perish first, and who is the biggest enemy?"

Han Xin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the commander-in-chief or Xiang Yu will perish first. As for the biggest threat, our strength is relatively weak. The state of Yue in the south may be the most powerful state now, and the state of Han should not be underestimated." .So the biggest threat is either from Yue, or from Liu Bang.”

"That's right! Chu and Han have already had deep grievances. As far as the north is concerned, whoever the marshal is on will basically win."

Kuai Che continued: "Nominally surrender to Liu Bang and defeat Xiang Yu first. Although the Western Chu State is not as good as before, Xiang Yu is a fierce tiger that is difficult to stop. The injured beast is the most dangerous, and the marshal is behind him , everything needs to be considered a little more... As long as there are Western Chu and Yue, Liu Bang will not be able to do anything to the marshal. Firstly, he has the status of a monarch and minister, and secondly, he needs the marshal to contain the enemy for him , more or less self-protection.

Yan Qi Xinding, the strength of the marshal among the four countries is the weakest, and needs to be continuously improved.For a long time to come, China will mainly develop itself rather than expand abroad.Therefore, the first thing I should consider in doing things now is self-protection and accelerating development.In the future, Liu Bang will have to rely on the Marshal to deal with the Western Chu and Yue Kingdoms, and the Marshal will be able to deal with them and demand returns.All in all, it is up to you to choose whichever can benefit you the most. "

After pondering for a long time, Han Xin asked, "Sir, do you mean to surrender to Liu Bang and request Liu Bang's canonization?"

"Yes!" Kuai Che said with a slight smile: "But it's not asking him to be canonized, but forcing Liu Bang to be canonized." Kuai Che directly expressed his thoughts without the slightest hesitation.The pros and cons are in front of him, and he believes that Han Xin will make the right choice.

Han Xin asked with a smile: "Sir, if you are so sure, Liu Bang will definitely canonize me as the king of Qi?" This is the second time Han Xin asked this question, and obviously he is still not confident about it.

Kuai Che laughed; "Liu Bang has no choice!" He was very confident about this.

"But what if..." Han Xin was still a little worried about this.

Kuai Che laughed and said: "For the sake of safety, the marshal can write a letter to Liu Bang, saying that the people of Qi are tough, and ordinary garrisons are difficult to govern, and a prince king is needed to deter them. Then the marshal himself asked the false king of Qi to guard Qi Lu for the king of Han. land."

"Fake King Qi?"

"Fake" does not mean true or false, but the meaning of acting, that is to say, let Han Xin act as the acting king of Qi.

Kuai Che nodded and said: "Yes, if Liu Bang is a sensible person, he will directly canonize Marshal as King Zhenqi. If he is really ignorant, we can make further plans according to the situation. Liu Bang may be reluctant, But he still has Zhang Liang by his side, presumably Mr. Zifang will not be stingy with the word "true or false". This move can be attacked, retreated or defended, and it will not suffer."

Han Xin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Sir, you are right, let's do this first!"

Kuai Che said: "Now is not the time, let's take care of Long Qie first, so that the marshal will have more confidence in his speech. Liu Bang must rely more on the marshal."

Han Xin said with a smile: "That's natural, I owe it to my master's planning to be able to be here today!"
