Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 115 Meeting the Heroes
After the night attack defeated Zhou Fujun's mob, if it hadn't been for Xiang Kang to stop him, Yong Chi, who admired Xiang Kang to the extreme, would have led the soldiers and civilians in Fengyi to directly change to the banner of the Young Marshal Army, kicking Kicked Liu Laosan, the real owner of Fengyi City, to the Yellow River.

Yong Chi really wanted to follow Xiang Kang's example. He was born in a powerful family in Peixian County. No one knows Liu Laosan's bad things better than Yong Chi. It doesn't matter if he adulterated with a widow and made an illegitimate son Liu Fei. This is a man. It is understandable for the same lecherous Yongchi, but Liu Laosan's other hooligan habits are absolutely unacceptable. He idles around all day, eats and does nothing, and goes there for delicious food and drink, bragging all day long, and being poor. Xiang still flaunts his power everywhere, the lackey Xiangyun doesn't know how to love after marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law, and pushes all the family affairs to the daughter-in-law to take care of, while he sneaks into the restaurant owned by the woman every day to cheat food on credit , the scumbag is simply shocking and outstanding.So even if all the hooligans in Quanpei County support Liu Laosan as the boss, Yong Chi is 1 times unconvinced and [-] people look down on Liu Laosan.

In Yong Chi's eyes, Xiang Kang is the extreme opposite of Liu Laosan. He is handsome and elegant, he does things well, behaves politely and politely, he is the first to raise the anti-Qin Yi flag and is invincible, and he scares Liu Laosan twice successively with a slight movement Fucking shit, running and crawling back and forth, seeing Zhou Fu bullying the weak and acting righteously, not to mention saving Fengyi from the crisis, and in the blink of an eye, he defeated Zhou Fu's more than 3 soldiers with thousands of troops, and the soldiers were strong and strong Let Liu Laosan fall behind!And more importantly, Xiang Kang is still a direct descendant of the Xiang family, a famous family in Chu State. His family background is far more noble than the third son of the Liu family, so Yong Chi, who has a high self-esteem, is more willing to follow Xiang Kang, and he is unwilling to give the third son Liu the same. Hooligans and rascals act like cows and horses.

But it is a pity that although Yong Chi's longing for Xiang Kang can be learned from the sun and the moon, Xiang Kang, who has a long-term vision, has his own plan. He excuses that it is too unjust to accept Fengyi at this time, and he just resolutely refuses Yong Chi. He also urged Yong Chi to put morality first, don't be impatient and don't betray Liu Laosan for the time being, and promised that as long as there is a chance in the future, he will welcome Yong Chi's return with open arms. Let Yong Chi give up his plan to surrender himself immediately.

However, the more Xiang Kang is like this, the more Yong Chi feels that Xiang Kang is of high moral character and values ​​morality, and he admires and worships Xiang Kang more and more. He repeatedly begs Xiang Kang to stay in Fengyi for a few more days, so that he can chat with the landlord Thanks to Xiang Kang for his great kindness in rescue.Xiang Kang was helpless, in order to give Yong Chi a face, he had to stay outside Fengyi City for two more days, had several banquets with Yong Chi, and then led his army back to Pengcheng after Yong Chi reluctantly saw him off.

In fact, the Young Marshal Army did not help Liu Laosan and Yong Chi for nothing this time. After defeating Zhou Fu, all the money and food that Zhou Fujun looted along the way were robbed by the Young Marshal Army, and the supplies they obtained greatly exceeded this expedition. At the same time, more than 3000 Zhou Fujun prisoners were captured. After selecting the best and recruiting more than 2000 people, the remaining [-] people can also be used as civilian husbands to fill the manpower gap left by the Young Marshal Army after a large number of conscription in the controlled areas. So even if they didn't get any land in the city, the young generals on the way to retreat were still motivated, and the soldiers were happy, and no one complained about the waste of their trip.

But there was still an accident. After withdrawing eastward all the way to the city of Liuxian County, before Xiang Kang could adjust the remaining team, the scouts in the north sent an urgent report, saying that Liu Laosan led a team of knights in a car and was heading to Liuxian County. Bian rushed over and asked Xiang Kang to take a step slowly. Liu Laosan wanted to thank Xiang Kang in person.Xiang Kang smiled and said, "Liu Ji came in person? Are you afraid that we will seize the opportunity to take him down this time and forcibly annex his army and territory?"

"Liu Ji is not a fool." Zhou Zeng said with a smile: "This time we not only took the initiative to help him, but also took the initiative to withdraw our troops without asking him for any reward after the matter was completed. Of course Liu Ji knew that we did it in a moral way. The most important thing is not the kind of despicable villain who takes advantage of others' danger, and if he dares not come to thank you in person, the young commander, he will really be a fool."

"Then just wait a little longer. I've wanted to meet him for a long time. I'm going to prepare a banquet. I'm going to have a drink with Liu Ji today." Xiang Kang smiled and ordered, and then arranged for the army to rest on the spot. Lin Cheng, the senior prime minister of the Young Marshal Army, led a thousand troops to garrison Liuxian, freeing Zhu Jishi to follow him back to Pengcheng to meet other upcoming battles.

After a while, Liu Laosan's red flag appeared on the far side of the road. Xiang Kang, who was an orthodox Han before crossing, couldn't help but feel a little excited when he finally had the opportunity to meet the founder of the Han Dynasty.However, Xiang Kang couldn't express his admiration and respect for Liu Laosan. On the contrary, after riding in front of Xiang Kang, Liu Laosan asked Xia Houying to rein in the carriage early, jumped out of the car and ran directly Arriving in front of Xiang Kang, he bowed without saying a word, and said excitedly and sincerely: "I'm going to Liu Ji, I'm going to pay my respects to the young commander of Dachu Xiang, the young commander's great kindness, Liu Ji will never forget it! Pay it back!"

"Pei Gong, please get up quickly." Xiang Kang helped Liu Laosan get up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Pei Gong has said that, some trivial matters are not worth mentioning, so there is no need to be so polite."

Similar to what was introduced in the history books, Liu Laosan was indeed born with a high nose and deep eyes, an extraordinary appearance, and a loud voice, which gave people a warm and cheerful feeling, and his speech was even more informal. As soon as he was picked up by Xiang Kang, he said: "Mr. Shuai, please don't call me that. How dare I call myself Pei Gong in front of you? If the young commander doesn't mind, just call me by my name."

"Pei Gong, don't be so modest. You are old and virtuous, and you definitely deserve the title of Pei Gong." Xiang Kang's tone was still very sincere, and he invited again: "Pei Gong, please come here, the banquet is ready, I am anxious When I returned to Pengcheng, I didn’t set up a camp, so I could only hold a banquet in the wild by the roadside in honor of Peigong, if I’m rude, I hope that Peigong will be happy.”

Liu Laosan hurriedly gave in, and after Xiang Kang sat down across the road, Liu Laosan hurriedly asked Fan Kuai and an attendant to carry a box, and said: "Young Master Xiang, I won't say more about the unnecessary things. I, Liu Ji, can never thank you enough for this time of helping out in righteousness, but please be sure to accept even a little superficial courtesy.”

After saying that, Liu Laosan quickly winked at Fan Kui, Fan Kui understood, and immediately opened the wooden box, revealing a box full of gold, jade and jewelry, but Xiang Kang didn't even bother to look at the box, he just turned to Fan Kui and smiled Said: "Fan Zhuangshi, we finally meet again."

Fan Kui was even more forthright in doing things. Without saying a word, he prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "Young Commander, Fan Kui was rude and offended you. Today Fan Kui begs you for your sins. Please punish him, Young Commander."

"It's all in the past, why are you still talking about him?" Xiang Kang stood up with a smile, took Fan Kui with his hands and smiled, "Besides, when you were in Zen County last time, didn't you already pay back the knife money you owed me?" Why? Why bother to plead guilty?"

After finishing speaking, Xiang Kang didn't wait for Fan Kui to speak, and immediately turned to another follower Liu Laosan who was carrying the box with Fan Kui, and said with a smile: "This strong man has an extraordinary bearing, and he is not an ordinary person after all. May I ask Gao's name... ?”

"I'm next to Lu Wan." The entourage clasped his fists in salute, and said, "Now I'm a guest under Pei Gong's account."

"I have admired your name for a long time." Xiang Kang said from the bottom of his heart again, and then looked at the driver who was driving Liu Laosan before, and said, "This strong man, you must be the famous Xiahouying Xiahou, right?"

"Young Commander Xiang, have you heard of my humble name?" Xia Houying was shocked, and was so surprised that he even trembled when he saluted.

"The strong man is modest, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I wish I hadn't met earlier." Xiang Kang said something in his heart, and then hurried to see Liu Laosan's other followers, and asked, "Pei Gong, don't you?" I know if Mr. Xiao He, Cao Can and Zhou Bo are here, can you introduce me?"

"Why is this kid so familiar with my cronies?" Liu Laosan was surprised, and then said truthfully: "Forgive me, young commander, they are currently commanding troops in Pei County, and they didn't come with me."

Xiang Kang was extremely regretful, but fortunately, Liu Laosan called out his other confidant, Zhou Ke, and introduced him to Xiang Kang. "Besides this old rascal, how can he randomly pick out one of them as a famous capable minister? Why is my talent luck so mediocre, besides an old man Fan who has a bad temper with me, there is no decent role around me?"

Regrets are regrets, but Lu Wan, Xia Houying, and Zhou Ke are all loyal friends of Liu Laosan, and Xiang Kang couldn't dig them out even if he wanted to, so Xiang Kang had no choice but to suppress his greedy impulse and reciprocate. Introduce Zhou Zeng, Old Man Fan, Chao Zhi, Zhujishi and other important civil and military personnel to Liu Laosan, and Liu Laosan greeted them one by one, thanking them constantly.

After finishing the necessary cutscene, Xiang Kang returned to his seat, first toasted with Liu Laosan for a few drinks, then pointed to the box brought by Liu Laosan and said: "Pei Gong, I appreciate your kindness, but Take your things back. You have to use money and food for everything now. You must be struggling with money and food. I really can’t bear to make things worse for you. Besides, I sent troops to reinforce Fengyi not only for your city and land, but also In order to prevent Zhou Fu from taking advantage of the situation and invading Pengcheng, there is no need to thank him."

"Young Marshal, please don't be polite." Liu Laosan hurriedly said: "You have saved my life by helping me this time. I, Liu Ji, can't thank you enough. A small gift is just a token of my heart. I also hope that the young marshal will accept it, otherwise, I will feel too sorry in my heart."

"Pei Gong, you really don't need to be polite." Xiang Kang declined again and said, "You and I are both anti-Qin rebels, and we have signed an alliance to fight against Qin. It is only natural to lend a helping hand to each other in times of crisis. If you ask for a reward, wouldn’t it be a merchant’s business? So you must take the things back. If Peigong really wants to thank you, in the future when my army is in danger, Peigong will be convenient and help my army. That, that's enough."

Liu Laosan refused, and still wanted to ask Xiang Kang to accept the gift he brought, but Xiang Kang resolutely refused, and after so many times, seeing Xiang Kang's firm attitude, Liu Laosan said: "Well, since Xiang Kang The young marshal is determined not to reciprocate his kindness, so I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. Alright, I will take the gift back. If there is a chance in the future, I, Liu Ji, will try my best to repay the kindness of young marshal Xiang."

Xiang Kang praised him, and immediately ordered someone to bring Liu Laosan's gift back to his car, Liu Laosan did not give in anymore, and said: "Young commander, I, Liu Ji, am a rough person, and I don't know how to be so polite, please be less polite." Shuai, tell me, if there is anything you want Liu Ji to do, please just tell me, Liu Ji will do my best."

"Pei Gong, don't be so anxious." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "If there is anything that needs Pei Gong's help, I, Xiang Kang, will not be polite. As for now, I really don't have it yet."

"That's true." Liu Laosan spoke directly, and said with a wry smile: "Young Marshal, you have a strong army, a vast territory, and a large number of talented people under your tent. There is really nothing Liu Ji can do to help you."

Liu Laosan didn't mention Xiang Kang's current talent reserve problem, but Xiang Kang felt a burst of regret when he mentioned it. How about giving Liu Laosan a try? If he is willing to join me and be my younger brother, wouldn’t his younger brothers be my younger brothers? You can give it a try. Anyway, Liu Laosan is still very weak now, and he will definitely You don't know what kind of development he will have in the future."

After making up his mind, Xiang Kang made some calculations, and said in a roundabout way: "Pei Gong, there is something I want to discuss with you. In today's world, although the six countries have raised their troops to restore the country, but the strongest among them Zhang Chu Wang Chen Sheng is none other than Zhang Chu Wang. My second uncle, Xiang Liang Gong, is the son of Xiang Yan Gong, the former Chu Wuxin Lord, and he resolutely accepted the canonization of Zhang Chu King, and led our Xiang family children to change to Zhang Chu Banner, and work together with Zhang Chu Wang. Resist the violence against Qin together. And you, Peigong, who lived in Chu for generations and are descended from Chu, do you have any interest in playing the banner of Zhang Chu and fighting against Qin side by side with King Zhang Chu like our Xiang family disciples?"

"Young Marshal wants to recruit for King Zhang Chu?" Liu Laosan asked in surprise.

"To be precise, I want to recruit you, Mr. Pei, for my uncle Xiang Lianggong." Xiang Kangtu looked at him poorly and said, "My uncle Xiang Lianggong is the son of the former Chu Wuxinjun, and he has already inherited my eldest father's son. The title of Zhang Chuwu Xinjun was granted, and he was based in Jiangdong. The Young Marshal Army formed by him will also directly follow his orders and accomplish great things, but it is only a matter of time. If Pei Gong does not give up, I am willing to recommend you to my uncle and ask him to incorporate it With your assistance, your army will overthrow Tyrant Qin and restore Chu."

After all, Xiang Kang quickly added another sentence, saying: "Of course, I can guarantee that uncle will never treat you badly. Moreover, with your talents and abilities, Pei Gong, you must be just a few people under my uncle's account." Underneath, above ten thousand people, in the future, he will become famous, rich and prosperous, high-ranking officials and generous salary, isn't it just like picking something out of a pocket?"

"This little Zhuzi still wants to recruit Lao Tzu's army." Liu Laosan sighed inwardly, and saw through Xiang Kang's trick at a glance, thinking: "Why did you ask your uncle to recruit Lao Tzu's army? It sounds nice, your uncle Far away in Jiangdong, separated by hundreds of miles, who knows when I will go north to Sishui County, if I agree to submit to your uncle, why don't I ask you to recruit Lao Tzu's army on the spot?"

Knowing Xiang Kang's wishful thinking, Liu Laosan certainly wouldn't point it out, but said with a wry smile: "Young Marshal Xiang, I, Liu Ji, am really grateful for your wrong love. But I, Liu Ji, raised troops against Qin just to fight against Qin in this troubled world. In order to protect the peace of Peifeng's elders, he never dared to covet any glory and wealth, high officials and rich salary, and even less dared to make a fool of himself under Wu Xinjun's account. Moreover, this matter is too big, I can't make up my mind for a while, and I have to think about it carefully. Then give the young commander an answer."

Hearing this, Xiang Kang was inevitably disappointed, knowing that Liu Laosan still refused to be inferior to others, and no matter how hard it was, he wanted to be unique and be his own master.Liu Laosan was afraid that Xiang Kang would force him to surrender, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, young commander. I have had enough wine. If the young commander doesn't have any orders, then I will leave. It's the same sentence, sir." I, Liu Ji, will never look forward to the great kindness this time, and if there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you twice."

Xiang Kang, who was too disappointed in his heart, didn't recover for a while, and didn't accept Liu Laosan's farewell immediately. Liu Laosan couldn't help feeling a little panicked, but it was okay for Liu Laosan. The soldier suddenly presented a letter with chicken feathers on it to Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang took it and opened it, his face suddenly gloomy. It turned out that this letter was an urgent report sent by Xiang Sheng from Pengcheng, saying that Zhang Han's army was in Ao Cang Da defeated the troops of Zhang Chu's Tian Zang, Tian Zang, and then defeated Zhang Chu's Li Gui's troops in Xingyang, and rescued the Qin Army's Li You's troops who had been besieged by Zhang Chu's army for several months. Chen Sheng's western front completely collapsed. It was only a matter of time before Zhang Han's army arrived at Chen County, the capital of Zhang Chu.

Putting down the letter, he glanced at Liu Laosan, whose expression didn't change much, and Xiang Kang couldn't help but sighed secretly again, thinking: "It's a pity, I really can't do it, otherwise, I just need to kill this Liu Laosan with one blow. No one will be able to compete with the old Xiang family in the future. But forget it, if you don’t have a chance, don’t force it, keep him, and you can use his hand to deal with my overlord brother, otherwise, if I can’t get along with Xiang Yu What should I do? I can't do anything to Xiang Yu, can I kill each other?"

Reluctantly giving up the opportunity to kill Liu Laosan directly, Xiang Kang calmed down, and then said: "Pei Gong, since you are busy with military affairs, then I won't keep you anymore, just leave now, and see you later."

Liu Laosan, who was in a hurry, was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly got up to leave, while Xiang Kang said: "One more thing, Mr. Pei, I just received the news that Zhang Han, the general who tyrannized Qin, has broken Zhang Chu in the Xingyang area. Zhang Han’s western expeditionary army and Zhang Chu’s western army have all collapsed. If there is no accident, Zhang Han’s army will soon march westward to the Central Plains and attack the anti-Qin rebels from the six countries of the Kanto East. Your troops, Mr. Pei, will definitely be affected I hope you will take precautions when you go back, and don't be caught off guard by the Tyrant Qin army."

Liu Laosan is also a master strategist. He was shocked when he heard this, and quickly thanked Xiang Kang again, and then said: "Young commander, don't worry, if the army of Tyranny Qin attacks you, I will definitely raise a full force of soldiers and come south." Help you fight against Qin."

Xiang Kang nodded his thanks, and said: "Pei Gong, if there is any danger, you can just ask me, or if you want, Pei Gong can come to Pengcheng to meet me at any time, and I will definitely greet you."

Liu Laosan thanked him, and then he said goodbye to Xiang Kang again and again. Xiang Kang got up to see him off in person, and then watched the back of Liu Laosan and his party going north. I am willing to be his little brother, or he is willing to be my little brother, otherwise between me and him, sooner or later we will meet swordsmen."

Xiang Kang felt emotional in his heart, but Liu Laosan felt even more emotional in his heart. After leaving Xiang Kang's army, Lu Wan, Fan Kui and others asked Liu Laosan's impression of Xiang Kang, and Liu Laosan's face was quite gloomy. After a long time, he said to Fan Kuai: "The last time you were able to deceive him with fake gold, it was not because he was stupid, but because he had the ambition of the world, the heart of the world, and regarded jewelry and money as dung, so he fell in love with you by chance. It was a small trick. Although he suffered a small loss at that time, from that moment on, we never thought of taking advantage of him again."

Fan Kuai was stunned, while Liu Laosan sighed again: "This little stick is unusual, he can afford it and put it down, and he does things neatly. If we become his enemies in the future, he will definitely become our nightmare. "
