Molested Zulong at the beginning

Bai Su shook his head slightly, and said, "The general will continue to read."

Xiang Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and continued to look.

As the piano player's movements slowly stopped, a musician in a white skirt picked up a bamboo flute and started playing it.

The crisp sound of the flute echoed in the big tent, gentle and elegant, giving people the feeling of a modest gentleman.

In a trance, it makes people feel as if they are in the Central Plains, with hundreds of schools of thought, giving lectures and asking questions in the Jixia Academy.

Han Xin seemed to have noticed something, and said: "This is the tune of the Central Plains, and... white clothes like snow, this is the musical instrument and style of Qi."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu took a look at the situation and found that it was exactly as Han Xin said, this musician was actually dressed in the clothes of the state of Qi.

And the luthier just now was wearing a red dress, which is exactly the tradition of red in the state of Chu.

In this way, the next two should be Yan Guo and Zhao Guo.

quickly.

With the sound of the flute stopped.

The two musicians played at the same time, one playing the guzheng and the other beating the war drum.

It gives people a sense of vicissitudes and solemnity, and people can't help but be in the northern land full of ice and snow, and the vast scenery beyond the Great Wall.

After a long time, everyone slowly recovered from that emotion.

Bai Su looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "How does General Xiang feel?"

Xiang Yu said: "These are all musical instruments born in our six kingdoms. Although each has its own merits, but in terms of timbre, it belongs to my Chu Kingdom, and the other countries are slightly inferior."

Bai Su couldn't help laughing and said, "But listening to just one Chuqin, doesn't the general feel a bit monotonous?"

Xiang Yu frowned, and snorted softly: "So what, when it comes to the 800-year heritage, who in the world can compete with our Chu Kingdom, and... don't you say that you can make friends through rituals and music, why are they all from my six kingdoms?" Musical instruments, where are Daxia's?"

"it's here……"

Bai Su winked at the musician, who respectfully handed over a small musical instrument.

Xiang Yu looked strange for a while: "What is this, it looks so strange."

Bai Su explained: "This thing is called Suona, and it is a musical instrument that was recently introduced from the Western Regions and combined with my Great Xia's style, improved."

Xiang Yu immediately sneered when he heard the words: "Sure enough, it's a barbarian country with no background. There are not many plants to unify the world, and even the birth of musical instruments is less than a year old."

For Xiang Yu's disdain, Bai Su was not angry at all.

Just waving lightly at the musicians, everyone started playing one after another.

First, the Jiangnan style of Chu, followed by the Central Plains style of Qi, and finally the ice and snow of Liaodong in Yan, and the grassland beyond the Great Wall of Zhao.

When everyone was amazed, Bai Su picked up the suona and blew it, and the gold and iron horses on the yellow land in the northwest came towards them with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Under the call of the suona, the originally separate instruments complemented each other and gradually played together.

Just like a giant dragon opened its eyes, it crossed the east, the four seas converged, and Kyushu was unified.

The lofty sentiments outside the Great Wall, the misty and rainy style in the south of the Yangtze River, the elegant style of the Central Plains, the ice and snow in Liaodong, everything seems to be integrated into one under the leadership of that little suona.

Before this soul-stirring song, everyone felt a rush of blood, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

It wasn't until the music stopped that Xiang Yu and Han Xin slowly came to their senses.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but said, "This instrument called Suona in your hand is so special."

Bai Su said with a smile: "This thing is so similar to my Great Xia. The first emperor unified the world with only a few plants, and it took less than half a year for this small musical instrument to be introduced. In terms of background and strength of character, it is far inferior to the six kingdoms of Shandong." Words are too inferior."

"But once the suona is played, any musical instrument can only be respected by the suona. General Xiang, don't you think this prosperous movement is much more beautiful than the Chu music alone?"

Han Xin's black and white eyes couldn't help but froze for a moment, she was a smart person, and soon understood the meaning of Bai Su's words.

What Bai Su wanted was never anything, to eliminate Chu people, Qi people, Yan people and so on, so that only Xia people remained in the world.

What he really wants is to gather the talents from all over the Central Plains with the might of the Great Xia as the backbone and the heritage of the Six Kingdoms as the flesh and blood to form a prosperous country, just like the bloody song just now.

Chu Le and Qi Le alone, no matter how exquisite they are, are too monotonous.

Only by cooperating with each other and echoing each other is the real song of strength.

After pondering for a long time, Xiang Yu asked, "What's the name of this song?"

Bai Su said, "Jiuzhou is the same."

"Kyushu Tong, is Kyushu unified? It's really an appropriate name."

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Compared to that tyrant in Xianyang, I don't dislike your ambition, but... there must be a battle between Xia and Chu. It is still a bit difficult to rely on these to convince me." insufficient."

Bai Su scratched his cheeks in distress: "General Xiang questioned whether there is going to be a war. Wouldn't it be good for the two sides to shake hands and make peace?"

Xiang Yu said with a smile: "The hundreds of years of national hatred between Xia and Chu can no longer be resolved with a few words. Only a thorough war can eliminate these years of resentment."

"Besides... I, Xiang Yu, will never be willing to be subordinated to others. If you want me to make concessions, then show enough strength."

"Defeat me on the battlefield."

Bai Su sighed: "That's the only way. After I step out of this big tent, we can only meet each other on the battlefield, so... Before I leave, I would like to offer a glass of wine to General Xiang, and at the same time, I would like to ask General Xiang thing."

Xiang Yu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Bai Su said solemnly: "Right now, the plague broke out on the grassland. This natural disaster is worse than the plague. If it is not controlled well, the whole world may be implicated. Although there is an enmity between you and me, in the end it is nothing but Huaxia's own family. In matters of people, I would be willing to lose to you in the future."

"However, I am unwilling to die from natural disasters. I hope that the general will put the overall situation first. The two sides will cease fighting for the time being. I will return to the Northland to fight the plague."

"In order to show my sincerity, I would like to back away and give Jiujiang County to the general..."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, after the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no righteous war, no matter whether it was the Six Kingdoms or the princes, few would care about the dignity of the nobility and keep their promises.

Not everyone can do what Xia Jun did. After the empire collapsed and the commander died, the 30 Great Wall Legion was still guarding the north, and no foreign race had ever stepped into the Central Plains.

After hearing Bai Su's words, Han Xin's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity.

Right now, the main force of the Xia army is on the grasslands, and because of the plague, people in the north are in panic, the commander Bai Su has returned to the north, and there are almost no strong enemies in the south.

As long as you seize this opportunity, deter the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, and unite with them to backstab Daxia, you will definitely be able to make great achievements.

If it is small, it can wipe out some of the Xia army's strength. If it is large, it can go all the way to the north and attack cities and territories.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu understood what Han Xin was thinking, and knew that this was a great opportunity, but she always disdained this kind of villainous behavior while taking advantage of others.

After all, as a great general standing between heaven and earth, she should use the three-foot sword in her hand to develop incomparable achievements. If she wants to fight, she also wants to fight clearly on the battlefield. She sneakily takes advantage of others' dangers, what kind of general is she?

After a long silence, she said, "I... I can promise you, but before that, I need to meet someone."

Bai Su was stunned: "Who do you want to see?"

Xiang Yu said, "Yu Ji, I have something to ask her."

Bai Su nodded, and said, "Okay, I will convey your request to her."

Han Xin looked at the two people who toasted to form a contract, his slender eyebrows could not help but wrinkle, and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Xiang Yu is a man of friendship, he is not afraid of danger and leads the army to charge forward, and he is willing to live and die together, which is very good.

But too much emphasis on the etiquette of the nobles, and the benevolence of women at this critical time, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a big deal.

Chapter 320 Han Xin's Rejection

In the large tent, a pot of fire was raging.

After toasting Xiang Yu with a glass of wine, Bai Su said with a smile, "Since the covenant has been completed, it's inconvenient for Bai to disturb you."

Xiang Yu nodded lightly, and didn't say much.

Right now, Bai Su's terms of cooperation sound pretty good. Xia Jun has withdrawn from the Jiujiang area, and most of them have fallen under her control.

Taking advantage of this period of time, while rectifying the acquired chassis, beating those six-nation coalition forces and integrating them is almost equivalent to the initial restoration of Chu.

This has almost reached her goal when she first raised her troops.

With the departure of Bai Su and others, the big tent became quiet again.

Han Xin, who stood silent for a long time, couldn't help but said: "General, you shouldn't have peace talks with that Bai Su."

Xiang Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Why?"

Han Xin frowned slenderly, and said: "Although both of us need time to rectify, it seems that temporary peace talks are beneficial, but don't forget that we are already at a disadvantage, and the same breath has completely different meanings for both parties. ,us……"

At this moment, the guard at the door came in, cupped his fists and said, "General, a woman who called herself Yu Ji stood outside the camp and said she wanted to meet the general."

Xiang Yu couldn't help being stunned, and immediately ordered: "Go... go and invite Yu Ji in, Han Xin, please step back for now, I have something important to discuss with Yu Ji, and we can talk about other things later."

"General...General, I..."

Han Xintan opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but facing Xiang Yu's gaze that didn't care about him at all, he could only sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"The general will know..."

After bowing her hand to Xiang Yu, she backed away slowly, and when she reached the door, she couldn't help but pause, glanced back at Xiang Yu, and murmured softly: "After all, it will never be a big deal."

Before he took two steps, a hearty youthful voice came from the side: "Why did the general say that General Xiang is difficult to achieve great things?"

Han Xin's calm eyes froze for a moment, and he looked along the prestige, only to see Bai Su standing lazily at the gate of the camp with his hands in his sleeves, looking at her with a smile.

She bowed and saluted, and said in a calm tone: "I have seen Daliang Zao..."

Bai Su waved his hand: "There's no need to be so restrictive, it's just a title, it's okay to call me Bai Su, I'm just curious, I want to ask why General Han decided that General Xiang would lose?"

After all, the situation at this time is in the eyes of outsiders. Chu Jun is almost invincible all the way now. Except for a little bit of deflation when facing Bai Su, he hardly suffered much loss.

In contrast, the Xia army was defeated almost continuously, losing cities and territories.

Moreover, in addition to the main force of the Chu army, there are also the Allied Forces of the Six Nations as allies. No matter how you look at it, the Chu army has the upper hand.

Han Xin didn't hide too much, she also imitated Bai Su's appearance, put her white hands into warm sleeves, breathed a mouthful of white mist, and said, "This is just an appearance."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Bai Su's face: "Appearance?"

Han Xin's eyes were like a pool of water, unable to see the slightest fluctuation, and he said, "Chu army seems to have the upper hand at the moment, but the Xia army, a war machine, has not been fully mobilized yet. The main force is on the northern expedition."

"The Chu army hasn't fought any tough battles in a short period of time. In addition, the banner of King Huai of Chu has a certain influence in the local area, and the generals stationed there are not famous generals. It will naturally be easier to win."

"But once you arrive in the Northland, it will be different. Since the Central Plains' population, six-tenths are concentrated in the Northland. In order to stabilize the situation here, Xianyang has built various official roads, cities, checkpoints, and post stations."

"Coupled with the good reputation of Daliang Zao, which has been operating in the private sector for many years, commerce and farming, it can be said that it can almost be called out, and it can get responses from all directions."

"Don't look at the fact that the current Chu army occupies a large territory, but the population of a single round is less than [-] to [-] percent."

"If the coalition forces want to win, they must go all the way to the north before the war machine of Daxia is fully activated, and divide the northern border into pieces, so as to have a slight chance of winning."

"Otherwise, once the war machine of Xianyang is fully mobilized, the size of the two sides will not be at the same level in terms of military strength, population, food and supplies."

"As long as the overall situation cannot be reversed, no matter how much you win purely tactically, it is meaningless."

Bai Su glanced at Han Xin in surprise, she didn't expect her to have such a long-term vision, when others are trapped by the current situation, she has already seen the future situation.

He couldn't help smiling and said, "Then you want to come to my place to do something?"

Han Xin glanced at Bai Su with a strange expression: "Are you poaching?"

Bai Su nodded, and said, "That's right, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to work on. Since you have such talent, why don't you choose a better stage to showcase your ambitions."

"If you want, I can recommend it for you, and I will give you the opportunity to become a guardian envoy of one side in the future."

Han Xin couldn't help but feel a little bit moved.

You know, the Protector General is the chief official of the frontier, and currently only Meng Tian and Meng Yi are in charge.

Bai Su's willingness to be the guardian envoy as a bargaining chip for the invitation is enough to show his sincerity.

But after thinking about it for a while, she still shook her head: "I am really grateful for Daliang's sincerity, but I'm sorry, but I still have to refuse your offer."

Bai Su failed to recruit, he couldn't help being stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Han Xin raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky with black and white eyes, and said, "Anyway, Xiang Yu has been kind to me. When I was bullied on the street, she was the one who stood up for me."

"After taking me back, she clothed me, gave me food to eat, and gave me the opportunity to lead a party of troops. In order to thank her for her kindness, I would like to accompany her until the last moment. "

Bai Su couldn't help sighing, "That's really a pity."

Although he said so, he didn't have many surprises in his heart, on the contrary, he seemed to have expected it.

After all, in a sense, Han Xin and Xiang Yu are very similar in character, they both value affection, nostalgia for old love, keep promises, and they have a strong character of spring and autumn.
