Competing

Chapter 618 Missed Opportunity
In the year of Qin's demise, Qin Ziying was seized by Xiang Yu's Xinfeng Hongmen camp.Wei Liao and Li Si had planned to rescue Ziying. On the night of the Hongmen Banquet, no matter what the result was, the people of Qin had indeed participated in the rescue.At that time, the people of Qin State entered the camp of the six-nation coalition army of Hongmen through the direction where Yan State was stationed.

Of course, if there is no one to respond, it will definitely not work.Fortunately, money can turn ghosts around. Li Si and Wei Liao bribed a general of the Yan Kingdom with a lot of money at that time.Later, after the fall of the Yan State, the general surrendered to Qi Wang Han Xin, and he was named a marquis and a general, and he was very popular.That's right, that general was Luan Bu.

Therefore, when Wei Liao learned that the general of the Qi State stationed in Zhao's land was Luan Bu, he felt a turn of events.At least it wasn't Han Xin or Li Zuoche who personally led troops to kill them, so there wouldn't be no room for maneuver.Since Luan Bu is the commander-in-chief of the Qi State, it is necessary to fight for it and make good use of it to change the current situation.

Wei Liao immediately sent a message to Xu Wang, telling him not to worry, he already had a countermeasure.Immediately, he reported the situation on the Hedong front line to Yue Wang Yin Xu in a timely manner. Firstly, cooperation was needed, and secondly, it was to make Yue Wang feel at ease and worry less.

Then Luan Bu, who was in Julu, miraculously received Wei Liao's letter. Luan Bu didn't know how the letter was sent to Julu quickly and confidentially.It is just that the past events described in words can be concluded to have come from Wei Liao.There was no other meaning in Wei Liao's words, he was talking about a big deal in Hongmen.Wei Liao didn't forget to play the friendship card, and thank Luan Bu for what happened back then.

Luan Bu was still hesitating, but when Wei Liao's letter came, Luan Bu felt even more uncomfortable.It is impossible for Wei Liao to just reminisce about the past with him in the future letter, naturally there are other deep meanings, at least including the meaning of beating and threatening.Although it has been many years, but as a general back then, he received a lot of money to help the enemy.What would Qi Wang Han Xin think if such a thing spread out?What will the world think?Luan Bu's reputation will be completely rotten.

Luan Bu was very hesitant. Anyway, Han Xin's order was acted on camera, and Kuai Che was only a letter in his personal capacity, not an official document, so there was a lot of hesitation.

It was impossible for Wei Liao to pin all his hopes on Luan Bu. If Luan Bu decided to send troops directly, or could not stand the urging of Han Xin and Kuai Che, it would be troublesome.The Yue State was not afraid of the Qi State's army attacking, but just to delay the time.As long as enough time is bought for Yin Xu's side, as long as Han Guo is taken care of, what is there to be afraid of Han Xin?So as long as possible to delay the Qi army's attack time, the decision is mainly on Linzi's side... Wei Liao smiled slightly, thinking about it, but he wanted to feel sorry for General Luan Bu.

...............................................................

Cui He, Luan Bu's lieutenant general, is Han Xin's direct lineage general, and handed over all Zhao's 10,000+ army to Luan Bu. Can Han Xin be completely relieved?Therefore, he deliberately left a confidant of his own, the purpose is to contain Cui He.

Cui He was somewhat dissatisfied with Luan Bu.He is King Qi's confidant but he can only be one of the lieutenants. Luan Bu is just a descendant of the Yan Kingdom, and he actually rides on his head.Cui He had many complaints in his heart, but Luan Bu's reputation and talent were indeed higher than his own, so he could only swallow his anger.

Cui He has been silently looking forward to when he will have the opportunity to get Luan Bu, so that he can take the position smoothly.However, Luan Bu was cautious in doing things, and Cui He couldn't grasp any effective handles.As a result, he could only silently accept the fact that Cui He temporarily left Julu and went to the Taihang Mountains to inspect the front line.

Cui He came to Jingxingkou for inspection this day, in fact, he wanted to visit Jingxingkou more, so that he could brag to his subordinates.How did he follow the wise and mighty King Qi to fight here, and how bravely he fought in the first place, so that he was appreciated and reused by King Qi.It's a pity that he was unlucky, and was kept under Luan Bu's pressure.

Unexpectedly, just as he was talking, good luck fell from the sky.The patrolling frontier army came to report and caught the spies of Yue.An ordinary spy would not have attracted Cui He's attention, but when he heard that the spy was being hunted down, he tried several times to destroy the letters he carried with him, but was stopped.

This caught Cui He's attention slightly, and he wanted to find out out of curiosity.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you are a little shocked when you look at it.This is a letter from Wei Liao, the commander-in-chief of the Yue Kingdom, to Luan Bu. In the letter, it is also mentioned that in the past, they cooperated to rescue Ziying, but unfortunately the operation failed.

Cui He was first curious about how the letter appeared and what was in it.But after thinking about it, I immediately beamed with joy. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?Wei Liao and Luan Bu communicated with each other, and the commanders of the two opposing sides communicated with each other.

This... Cui He's eyes rolled up and down, what would happen if King Qi and Mr. Kuai Che knew about this matter?Although it was only Wei Liao's heartfelt letter to Luan Bu, the truth cannot be determined, but any king would have suspicions about the generals who lead the army.If what Wei Liao said was true, Luan Bu had already colluded with them.Qi State's 15 troops in Zhaodi are all in his hands. Will King Qi rest assured that such a questionable general will continue to lead the army?If Luan Buzhen had any collusion with Wei Liao, how serious would the consequences be?
Suspicion of such things is often fatal.Cui He also probably thought that this thing may not be true.But for him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.As long as this letter from Han is sent to Linzi, King Qi will become suspicious, will Luan Bu's position be kept?So the candidate for the commander of Zhaodi... Cui He thought about it, his face became a little more sinister, and a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wei Liao's autograph was sent to Linzi by Kuaima, no matter what the truth of the matter was, Cui He would not let go of this excellent opportunity to bring down Luan Bu and take the position himself.

When the letter appeared in front of him, Han Xin was a little annoyed, he punched the case with his fist, and said angrily, "What a Luan Bu, it's in vain that the widow trusts him so much, I never thought he would collude with Wei Liao."

Betrayal is something no king can tolerate, and Han Xin was very angry in desperation.

Kuai Che comforted him, "King Qi, don't be angry. The result of this matter may not be so bad. It may be the Yue State's plan to alienate."

"Divorce?" Han Xin calmed down a little.

Kuai Che said: "Yes, King Qi, think about it. At this critical moment, such a letter suddenly appeared, saying that there was collusion between General Luan Bu and Wei Liao. The purpose is obvious..."

"You mean the letter is fake? But it was intercepted by Cui He himself..." Han
Kuai Che shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who intercepted it. What matters is the content of this letter. I don't know Yue's plan to alienate. It's just to make the king not trust General Luan Bu, and then delay the attack on Hedong."

"There is some truth in saying that, but can you guarantee that Luan Bu has no problems? Wei Liao's letter is sincere and convincing. There may not be no connection between them. Cui He also said that Luan Bu was hesitant and delayed. Willing to send troops, is there any connection between this?" Han Xin was a little suspicious, after all, Luan Bu controlled an army of 15, so he had to be cautious.

Kuai Che shook his head and said, "It's probably Yue's plan to alienate... King Qi should not be deceived by Yue people."

"Cheating?" Han Xin shook his head and said, "It is possible to have a divorce, but the Yue Kingdom's divorce may not be too crude? What I am more worried about is how serious the consequences will be if this is true."

Kuai Che said: "King Qi, the purpose of the Yue people is very clear. They want to frame General Luan Bu and delay sending troops to Hedong. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, so don't miss it... You should order General Luan Bu to attack Hanoi County as soon as possible. "

"Hanoi County wants to fight, but it's not for Luan Bu to fight..." Han Xin said slowly.

Kuai Che couldn't help feeling very anxious, and said, "Da Wei, if this is the case, the Yue Kingdom's scheme of alienation will succeed..."

Han Xin shook his head lightly, and said, "I'd rather believe it or not. The widow's 15 army can't make any mistakes. As for Luan Bu's innocence, the widow will send someone to investigate. It's better to let Cui He... ...Forget it, let Guan Ying go, Cui He is too tender, not Wei Liao's opponent."

Kuai Che's mood was quite depressed. It was obvious that this was Yue's plan to alienate people. Although it was crude, it had a good effect, and Han Xin believed it.A letter that is likely to be completely non-existent makes good use of Cui He's feud with Luan Bu, as well as Cui He's possible villainous heart.How could Kuai Che fail to understand the little mischief in Cui He's heart.

The purpose of the Yue Kingdom is to direct the distrust between the monarch and his ministers. It will take time for Zhao Di to change generals, and changing generals just before the battle will also lead to instability in the army.It takes a process of adaptation for a new general to take over the army, and a lot of time will be wasted going back and forth.Hanoi County's fighter plane was fleeting, but it was missed in vain.

well!Such a great opportunity, just missed in vain.Losing Hedong, Qi is in danger!However, the king of Qi couldn't listen to the advice and missed the good opportunity, which made Kuai Che extremely disappointed...

..................................................................

Yin Xu's main force is now stationed in Xin'an, a place that is still fresh in his memory.Back then, Xiang Yukeng killed 20 soldiers from the State of Qin. Although he tried his best, he still failed to save the lives of those soldiers from the State of Qi.It was at that time that the relationship with Xiang Yu cracked, and it gradually reached the point it is today.

Things are different, and the world is vicissitudes, which is really touching.At the beginning, I could beg Xiang Yu for 20 lives.But just a few days ago, the [-] lonely ghosts in Mianchi were beheaded by his own orders.Once upon a time, I became so cold and cruel.Will reality change people so much?

When Yin Xu was feeling emotional, Jin Wei came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei Liao is flying a pigeon to pass the letter!"

Yin Xu stretched out his hand to take it, and after browsing through it, he smiled slightly, relieved slightly, and felt much happier.

The crisis in Hedong was resolved in this way. After receiving Wei Liao's report, Yin Xu was relieved a lot.The plan of alienation made good use of the king's suspicion, which was very simple but had a very good effect.Han Xin's coaching change undoubtedly bought a lot of time for Hedong.In fact, they are buying time for themselves, so the pressure here will be much greater, and the battle in the Central Plains must be resolved quickly.

After conquering the Mianchi defense line with lightning speed, the Han army shrank in an all-round way and carefully defended the Luoshui defense line. It was not so easy to break through. How to break through the enemy as soon as possible became a problem.

...............................................................

In fact, Hui Yinxu is definitely not the one who is in the most difficult situation. The life of the Han Dynasty is the worst.

Although the defense line of Mianchi, which has been worked so hard to build, did not give much hope, it did not expect to lose so quickly.The rapid defeat of Mianchi had the most intimate impact on the Han army, which made the Han soldiers feel that the Vietnamese army was so powerful, and their side was so vulnerable.

Unknowingly, the soldiers of the Han army had a deep fear of the Vietnamese army.Especially after the soldiers who had escaped from Mianchi were exaggerated, their hearts were full of panic and fear.The soldiers of the Han army have been advertised as heavenly soldiers, extremely brave.The Han army was all in a kind of fear. After all, it was an indisputable fact that Mianchi's [-] troops were beheaded overnight.They don't know what to do if the Han army comes to kill them?It is an indisputable fact that there is cowardice before fighting.

The Luoshui defense line is already full of jitters, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers.Ever since the Vietnamese army made a detour from the Luoshui River Valley to attack, the Han army has been very worried.Except for the frontal defense along the river.Both Luoshui and Yishui have stepped up inspections and defenses, lest the Vietnamese army will stage a copy of Mianchi in Luoshui.

It can be said that these days have been spent in such a kind of panic and worry, and it is not an exaggeration at all to wait for death every day.The generals of the Han army are worried about this, and it is really not an option to continue in the long run.

In Xingyang City, Liu Bang's mood was even more heavy.The State of Qi had already taken the land of Zhao without bloodshed, and had no intention of rescuing him at all.The Yue army has occupied the east of the river, and the front of the army has reached the shore of Luoshui.With a strong front and extraordinary combat power, they might break through Luoshui and approach Xingyang at any time.

The severe crisis that the Han country was facing was already panicked and chaotic.In particular, Xia Houying brought back the most authentic news on the Mianchi battlefield, that the combat effectiveness of the Yue cavalry was so powerful.With less than [-] cavalry, their [-] defenders were thrown into chaos in an instant, and they also caused such heavy casualties.

Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, was completely in panic all day long during this time, and the rapid fall of Mianchi made him not have much hope for Luoshui.It can be said that he has lost hope for Han Guo and himself, and can only drink to drown his sorrows every day, and his health is deteriorating.All of this was seen by Lu Zhi, which made this shrewd and powerful woman very worried.
