Chapter 621 Shocking News
Linzi, Qi Palace.

Han Xin stared at the letter in his hand, feeling overwhelmed. Kuai Che, who was sitting below, was very puzzled. Where did the letter come from, so that King Qi reacted like this.

The letter was sent from Xingyang, but the person who wrote the letter was not Liu Bang, but Lu Zhi, Queen of the Han Dynasty.In the letter, Lv Zhi revealed a major secret. Liu Bang, the king of Han, had been assassinated and died.Han Xin was skeptical and surprised that Liu Bang died like this.

Although he hated Liu Bang in his heart, after all, he had the affection of the monarch and his ministers in the past, and Liu Bang was kind to him, Han Xin.More importantly, Liu Bang was also regarded as a hero of the generation, and he died just like this.Chu and Han were originally the two most powerful princes in the world, but within two years, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, both died.

People can't help but sigh, and some feel that the world has changed a lot.Of course, the death of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang also means the end of an era. The two countries of Chu and Han have withdrawn from the historical stage, and the protagonists in the center of the stage have become King Yin Xu of Yue and King Han Xin of Qi.

Han Xinxin sighed with emotion, he knew that Lu Zhi didn't write the letter to report the funeral, and it must be intentional to tell him such a secret thing.Sure enough, Lu Zhi claimed in the letter that the king of Qi had made a lot of contributions to the Han country. Now that the Han country is in trouble, Han Prince Liu Yinggong asked his uncle Qi Wang Han Xin to send troops to save the Han country, and asked his uncle Han Xin to protect him forever.

Lu Zhi's words were very cryptic, but Han Xin also understood the meaning.Asking for help as Liu Ying, nephew worshiping his uncle, Liu Ying's status was originally lower than Han Xin's, but such a public declaration meant that the Han State was completely subordinated to the Qi State.Eternal asylum also implies that the Han Dynasty will generalize Qi to become a vassal, which is something Han Xin has been looking forward to.It is mainly due to the change of status between the Han and Qi Dynasties, and the psychological state has also undergone great changes.

Such a big change happened suddenly, Han Xin was still a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, his mood was also up and down.

Kuai Che looked at Han Xin's expression, and finally couldn't help asking: "King Qi, what happened?"

Han Xin handed Han Xin to Kuai Che casually, and Prime Minister Kuai, who has always been calm, also turned his face several times, wondering and uncertain.

"Liu Bang is dead?" Kuai Che couldn't believe it.

"That's what Lu Zhi said!" Han Xin said, which meant he was somewhat confused.

Kuai Che said: "This incident is too sudden. Could there be fraud? Could it be that the Han State asked us to send troops to help in disguise?"

Han Xin nodded and said: "It is indeed possible from a reasonable point of view, but... Liu Bang is joking about his own life and death? He cares about face now, and he refused to agree to the widow's request before, so he may not be willing to give in now. Even if there is a change, the widow I would rather believe that he would bring it up directly, rather than using such a shameful and degrading method, so the widow thinks it is credible."

"So it's true?"

Han Xin nodded lightly and said, "It's not impossible. If Liu Bangruo is really gone, Lu Zhi has nothing to do. It seems reasonable to ask the widow for help."

Kuai Che pondered for a moment and said: "If Liu Bang is really dead, Han Guo is now orphaned and widowed. It's really not easy to stabilize the situation. It's just that the price Lu Zhi paid for doing this is not small, and she is really willing."

Han Dao said: "Being driven to a dead end, she has no choice but to do so. But Lu Zhi is relieved, and even told Liu Bang's death directly. It seems that he still trusts me very much."

"Then how does King Qi plan for you?" From Kuai Che's point of view, no matter what purpose Lu Zhi had, whether Liu Bang was determined to die, if Qi State could participate in it and join Han and Liang to deal with Yue State, it would be a big deal. It's a good thing.The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has already been missed once, and it must not be missed a second time...

Han Dao: "The widow is also hesitating. What happened in Xingyang? Is there any trap? It's still hard to decide."

Kuai Che said: "If it is said that Liu Bang was assassinated and killed, now is definitely a good opportunity. Lu Zhi has already said very clearly that in the future Liu Ying will be a vassal to the King of Han. If our country remains unmoved, the Han Kingdom may We really have to wait for death. Yin Xu's action was really too fast, and he broke through Han's Mianchi defense line in an instant. And we missed the best opportunity to attack Hanoi County. Out of balance considerations, at this time, help Han The country is beneficial."

All in all, Kuai Che wanted to encourage Han Xin to send troops to help Han and lift the siege of Xingyang.

Han Xin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sir, what you said is, send troops! Find out the news, send troops to Xingyang, and help Han to break the siege!"

Hearing what Han Xin said, Kuai Che breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Yin Xu is still staying in Xin'an's big camp. The plan to conquer the Luoshui defense line is underway, and there is no major move for the time being.

However, a piece of news came this morning, which surprised Yin Xu endlessly.Pu Jun conquered Xiangyang City and marched towards Nanyang.

Because the food and grass were robbed by the Yue State before entering the city, Xiangyang city was short of food and caused some confusion.Some of the officers and men deeply felt that the future of the Han Dynasty was bleak. In order to survive and be prosperous, they secretly surrendered to Pu Jun, cooperated with the inside and outside, and took Xiangyang City.As for Liu Jia, he died in battle and followed the King of Han underground.

Xiangyang is the gateway of the Han Dynasty in the Jingchu area, and almost all the troops in the south are deployed here.The destruction of Xiangyang City opened the door to the south of the Han Dynasty, and there was no danger to defend.Pu Jun immediately led the army to the north, marching northward like a broken bamboo along the way.When Yin Xu got the news, he felt very relaxed.

In this way, another arm of the Han Dynasty was broken. From now on, Guanzhong and Jiangdong can communicate through the Wuguan Jingchu line, and the Mianshui water transportation can be well utilized.The most important thing is that Pu Jun mobilized the 13 army in the Northern Expedition, and his main force is only [-], which is slightly insufficient.The arrival of Pu Jun can bring the strength of the Han army to [-], and the problem of shortage of troops will be greatly reduced, which can be said to have solved the urgent need.

Yin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the consideration of the strategy of defeating the enemy.At this moment, a letter was sent to Xin'an Camp.

"In the past, due to the situation in the past, I had no choice but to assassinate my lord, and I sincerely apologize for this. Today, I will give a big gift to the King of Yue to make up for the guilt of the past!" Yin Xu was very surprised by the content of such a letter.But when he saw the following content and signature time, why didn't he grin his mouth in surprise!

Han Wang Liu Bang has been assassinated!
As for the signature at the end - Sincerely, Wei Guo Longyang Jun!
