Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 246 National Scholar Peerless (third update)

Liu Jijun, who was trapped in the three counties of Liaodong, was experiencing an unprecedented wave of fleeing. Soldiers and followers from the Kanto region had already begun to flee.

Southerners are not satisfied with the soil and water in the north. When they really feel the poverty of the three counties in Liaodong, they miss their relatives even more.

As a result, not only the soldiers, but even the generals began to flee.

This phenomenon, Liu Ji is clear.It's just that he understands that even if he interferes in this matter, it will not change the effect.

Rather than creating chaos, it is better to let it go.Liu Ji knew in his heart that only the last one left would be the one who could work together with him to open up a new world.

The reason why Liu Ji let it go, besides the reasons mentioned above, was more importantly that his core remained untouched.As long as there are enough soldiers, the army can be recruited in a hurry.

……

It's just that Xiao He left in a hurry. When this news came, Liu Ji was in a state of confusion, as if he had lost his left and right hands.

He knew in his heart that the current political affairs of the three counties in Liaodong were all on Xiao He's shoulders.If Xiao He fled, the three counties in Liaodong would almost be defeated.

……

Suddenly, Liu Ji became angry and waved his left hand: "Cao Shen, quickly dispatch the knights and immediately chase Mr. Xiao He back along the road!"

"promise."

With a nod of promise, Cao Shen strode away.He knew in his heart what Xiao He meant to the three counties of Liaodong, so he rushed out anxiously.

Two days later, in front of the deserted palace, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and Liu Ji and the others stood up at the same time.

They were all veterans of the army who had experienced many battles. From the momentum of the horseshoes, they knew that the coming was an elite.

"Herod—!"

At this time, Xiao He arrived.For a moment, the eyes of the four people met each other, and each of them had a complex look on their faces.

"Where did Prime Minister Zuo go?" Behind Liu Ji, Cao Shen's expression changed slightly, showing a trace of anxiety.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to pursue Li Duwei Han Xin!" With a look of solemnity in his eyes, Xiao He quickly explained with a deep bow.

When Liu Ji heard this, he was so angry that he cursed loudly: "Ghosts believe in nonsense, the generals who fled in the army can't send dozens of people, you don't go after him. You go after Han Xin, don't you understand it clearly?" Do you take me for a fool!"

At this moment, Xiao He said calmly but resolutely: "There are as many generals as you want. As for Han Xin, he is unparalleled in the country."

"If the king wants to be the king of Liaodong for a long time, there is no need to use Han Xin. However, if the king wants to fight for the world, no one can discuss this important matter except Han Xin. It depends on how you make a decision!"

Hearing this, Liu Ji lost his temper all of a sudden.Unable to help feeling disconcerted, he said, "Of course I want to enter the Central Plains and strive for world supremacy, and I don't want to be trapped in the three counties of Liaodong." At this time, the tone has tended to be peaceful.

……

Xiao He went on to say: "My lord, please make a decision. If you are determined to fight for the world, use Han Xin, and Han Xin will stay. If you can't use Han Xin, he will leave eventually!"

Liu Ji knew Xiao He too well, and knew that he acted prudently.What he said at this moment must be the result of his deliberation, and he thought about it for a while: "For you, I alone appointed Han Xin as a general!"

At this moment, Xiao He was lying if he said he was not moved.It's just that his purpose is not here, so he paused every word and said: "If the king wants to rule the world, it must be Han Xin!"

"Without Han Xin, no one can contend against Wang Ben, Marquis General of the Great Qin Empire, and Xiang Yu, Overlord of Western Chu."

"If you want to annex the Central Plains and achieve supremacy, you must have Han Xin as the commander in chief. Han Xin has been appointed as a general, and he will still not stay!"

Xiao He knew Han Xin's pride and talent too well. He knew that Han Xin, who had already decided to flee, had despaired of Liu Ji.

The only feasible way at this time is to take the position of general to demonstrate the importance that the King of Liaodong attaches to Han Xin and the determination of the three counties of Liaodong.

Xiao He had a premonition in his heart that Han Xin was a commander-in-chief talent who was unrivaled in the world.Now that Han Xin appears in Liaodong, it can be said to be a treasure bestowed by God.

The hope of leading the Liaodong army out of the current predicament lies in Han Xin in all likelihood.

Especially looking at the Liaodong army, there are many brave generals like Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying.But there is no one who can command the army alone and can stand up to Wang Ben and Xiang Yu.

He believes that Han Xin is such a talent who can fill the gap. If Han Xin joins, the unfavorable situation of Liaodong Kingdom may be fundamentally changed.

Moreover, during the time when Xiao He and Han Xin were acquainted, he further listened to Han Xin's views on Xiang Yu and Hu Hai, as well as the method of Liaodong, Chu Qin's strength and weakness transformation.

Xiao He believed in his own vision and experience even more. He concluded that Han Xin, and only Han Xin, was the commander who could lead Liu Jijun out of the predicament.

The national scholar is unparalleled, this is Xiao He's evaluation of Han Xin!
……

After a moment of silence, Xiao He said, "Back then, Qin Xiaogong worshiped Wei Yang as Zuo Shuzhang, established the government, and was equivalent to the second monarch. Only in this way did the Great Qin Empire rise."

Hearing this, Liu Ji fell silent and lowered his head.But he quickly raised his head again and said decisively: "Gu appointed Han Xin as a general—!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shaken.The position of general, controlling the army of a country.Such an important position is indeed comparable to Shang Yang's Zuo Shuchang.

Xiao He was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, he quickly stood up and saluted, and said: "I'm thankful for the king, thank you!"

Taking a deep look at Xiao He, Liu Ji was sure that Xiao He didn't seem to be joking, so he paused every word and said, "Call Han Xin here, and worship him as a general in isolation!"

Shaking his head, Xiao He said, "Your Majesty has always been arrogant and rude, and now paying respects to a general is like greeting a child. This is one of the reasons why Han Xin wants to leave."

"If your majesty is really determined to worship Han Xin as a general, please choose an auspicious day, take a bath and fast, set up a general altar, and pay attention to etiquette, so that's it!"

Most of them agreed to Xiao He. At this time, Liu Ji didn't mind adding this one, and waved his hand: "Okay, Gu agrees!"

……

After Xiao He left, only Liu Ji and Cao Can were left in the entire hall.After being silent for a long time, Liu Ji stared at Cao Can and said, "Cao Shen, Ruogu appointed Han Xin as a general, do you accept?"

"Submit!" After a long silence, Cao Shen finally spoke.

To be honest, Cao Shen was naturally dissatisfied.He was born and died, fighting for Liu Ji from the time he accompanied Peixian until now, but Han Xin took the lead.

The position of general, who had been thinking about it for a long time, was cut off abruptly, not to mention Cao Shen, even Confucius would be furious.

Only at this moment, Liu Ji asked in person.Even if he refused to accept, he was embarrassed and could only persuade by gnashing his teeth.
