Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 244
The vast beachhead on the north bank of Yushui spreads out in an upward slope toward the direction of the endless east gate, forming a natural embankment.From the Endless East Gate to the flowing river, it is a full three or four miles wide.

At the beginning of spring, this is the place where the grass grows and the warblers fly.When midsummer comes, here is another paradise for shepherd boys, cattle and sheep to have fun with boys and girls.

It's just that at this time, it is the time when the weather is warm and cold.At this moment, there is still a bit of coldness compared to the land of the Central Plains, and when the wind picks up while wearing clothes, you will still feel a bit of coolness.

It's just that on the embankment in this season, there are not many pedestrians, only a few people.Han Xin stood on the embankment with deep eyes.At this moment, his mood is naturally extremely dissatisfied, and it can even be said to be bad.

He went north to Liaodong for more than a year, but he was just a Lian Ao who managed grain and grass.It's just a mid-level military officer in Liu Ji's army, although he is one level older than the doctor in Xiang Yu's army.

But all this is not what he wants!

……

There were many people who followed Liu Jibei to the three counties of Liaodong, but among all of them, he was the most ambitious, because he aimed at the highest goal, and he came for the highest military position in command of the Liaodong Army, the general.

However, Liu Ji ignored him.A mere Lian Ao is not enough to display his unrivaled talent.Standing on the embankment, Han Xin thought too much for a while.

Looking to the west, Han Xin looked a little complicated.He knew that his teacher, Great Qin Empire Taiwei Wei Liao was planning a strategy.

The reformed Qin II must be a new man, and the Great Qin Empire is being reborn from the ashes under the impetus of Wei Liao, Wang Ben and others.

However, the three counties in Liaodong where he lived were still standing still.Sometimes he wondered if he had misjudged the person, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, was not a man of success at all.

"Teacher, don't I, Han Xin, have a chance to beat you in this life?" After a long silence, Han Xin sighed.

Since going north to the three counties of Liaodong, Han Xin naturally took the initiative to show himself to Liu Ji.In the process, he got acquainted with Xia Houying, Xiao He and other senior officials in the three counties of Liaodong.

Because Xia Houying has a close relationship with Liu Ji, they belong to the same hometown, the iron buddies on the pavilion in Sishui, and the confidant ministers since the uprising in Pei County.

Xia Houying's recommendation, Liu Ji sold it.So Han Xin jumped up and became Lieutenant Zhili of the Liaodong Army, responsible for the army's logistics supply.

In terms of official status, Han Xin at this moment is far higher than Lian Ao, comparable to other generals.

But for Han Xin, all this is not enough.He didn't want to get promoted and get rich, he wanted to show off what he had learned, and finally fought against his teacher Wei Liao.

This is a celebrity, or Han Xin is the last real celebrity after the Warring States Period.

Han Xin's pursuit has never changed, that is outstanding merit, not unparalleled power.Because of this, it will end up in history.

Han Xin, who thinks very highly of himself, his wish is not to accumulate meritorious service in the army to be promoted step by step, and to be rewarded with official ranks step by step.

For Han Xin, who is a great talent, this promotion is too slow.The ancients said: If someone has extraordinary abilities, he will naturally perform extraordinary actions, and he will soar into the sky like the sun in the sky.

Han Xin thought that his talent was comparable to Jiang Taigong and Sun Wu.Therefore, he hopes that Liu Ji will be King Wu of Zhou or King Helu of Wu, and that Mingjun and strong ministers will never lose each other.

His eyes are like torches, and he flows eastward along the river.Han Xin's eyes were complicated. He believed that Liu Ji was a talented emperor, and he saw that Liu Ji's army lacked a general who commanded the army.

That's why he stayed for more than a year.

……

For Han Xin, who is very clear about the overall situation of the Central Plains, he understands it from beginning to end.There are only three people who can stand out in the end—Xiang Yu, Liu Ji, and Hu Hai.

Among the Chu army, Xiang Yu was the sharpest general in charge of the army, and among the Qin army, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Wu, was born in Hengkong and suppressed Hangu Pass.

Although Han Xin is an extremely conceited person, he has to admit that facing Xiang Yu and Wang Ben, he has no idea.The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Whether it is Xiang Yu or Wang Ben, they have been tested and proven through one battle after another. They are amazing talents.

Because of this, Han Xin knew clearly that there was only one way out for him, and that was the three counties of Liaodong.He hopes to be appreciated by Liu Ji with his talent and become the commander of the Liaodong Army.

Leading the army to defeat Xiang Yu and Wang Ben, achieved the same feat as Jiang Taigong assisted King Wu of Zhou in destroying Shang, and Sun Wu commanded the Wu army to defeat Chu.

However, he left Xiang Yu and was promoted from Langzhong to Lian Ao, and was recommended by Xia Houyuan to serve as Lieutenant of Zhili.It's just that when he took the post of Captain Zhili, Han Xin was depressed and disappointed, and his sense of disappointment increased day by day, and he fell into the trough of life.

Because at this time, because of his official position, Han Xin had contact with Xiao He, who was in charge of the administrative affairs of the entire three counties in Liaodong. After several contacts, Xiao He decided to recommend Han Xin to Liu Ji.

He valued and appreciated Xiao He, and his heart was full of hope.After getting the promise of Xiao He's recommendation, Han Xin has been waiting for the news of Liu Ji's summoning.

However, if you can't wait, you won't wait again.

Looking at the blue water rolling in, Han Xin knew that Xiao He must have recommended himself to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji had no intention of summoning and reusing him.

Han Xin clearly knew that if even Xiao He's recommendation didn't work, there would be no hope.

His eyes flickered, and Han Xin was disappointed again.At this moment of disappointment, he completely understood the truth that relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.

"The chaos in the Central Plains is imminent, and it is a foregone conclusion for Xiang Yu to go north to Qidi. Instead of waiting for no hope, it is better to find another way out!"

Looking back from the surface of the river, Han Xinxin made a decision.He wants to return to his hometown Huaiyin to find another way out.

Once he figured this out, Han Xin didn't stay any longer, turned around and left the embankment, returned to the camp, sealed the seal and ribbon of Li Duwei, and wrote a farewell letter again and again.

It is said to be a farewell letter, but it is actually only three lines of big characters: I will meet you in the future and have a pot of dirty wine.

Han Xin did not specify whether this letter was for Xia Houying or Xiao He.In the Liaodong Army, he was familiar with only these two people, maybe both of them.

After packing up his clothes, Han Xin waited until night fell and the lights came on and left.It's not that Han Xin can't share weal and woe, but that Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, doesn't know people well.

He didn't want to die of old age in the army without accomplishing anything.In the ever-changing and chaotic world, Han Xinxin has his own dream, and has never really forgotten to become a leader.

Galloping horses, the long sloping water, the vast barren grass beach, just like the land of the Central Plains at this moment, is a wasteland for celebrities, and it is an opportunity to show what you have learned.

While running, Han Xin turned his head and took a look. He saw that the Liaodong Army camp had become a black spot.
