Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 150 Despicable Framed
Feeling that what Liu Laosan said was quite reasonable, Xiang Kang, who was too lazy to worry about supporting the King of Chu, changed his mind, and called Zhou Zeng, Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and other advisers to discuss the matter that day. What made Xiang Kang quite depressed was that just now when he said that he wanted to find a suitable candidate for the king of Chu for Xiang Liang, Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping applauded together, and they all saw at a glance that this move would be beneficial to Xiang Kang in the future Xiang Kang couldn't help complaining secretly about his political insensitivity again.

Fortunately, there is still time. Xiang Liang ordered the soldiers of the Chu army to search for the descendants of King Chu around noon today. He has not had time to use local forces to carry out this task, so Xiang Kang still has a chance to take advantage of this. Zhou Zeng led After some clerks quickly picked up their pens and wrote a book, a dozen or so letters with similar content were quickly written, and then Xiang Kang signed and sealed them, and sent someone to send them to the local officials of the Young Marshal Army who had been handpicked by himself before, asking for their help. Find it in the folks, and then you can knock on Erlang's legs and wait patiently for the delivery to be delivered to your door.

In the next few days, Gujing was quiet, and there was nothing to say. Xiang Kang, who had gradually become familiar with his new identity, in addition to supervising the military training every day, returned to the city from time to time to visit his wife and sister-in-law, and visited Xiang at the camp. Liang, helped Xiang Liang to deal with some problems left over from the merger of the army. The rest of the time was spent drinking with the Xiang family's children, or having banquets with Feng Zhong, Liu Laosan and others. His life was very leisurely and carefree, as if It's like going back to the time when I was idle all day long.

This situation did not change until several days later. On this day, when Xiang Kang was discussing military affairs with Xiang Liang and others in the Chu army camp, someone outside the Chinese army account suddenly entered the newspaper, saying that it was Xiang Liang. The envoys sent to Yingchuan earlier brought Han Cheng, the son of the last King of Han, Hengyang Lord Han Cheng. Xiang Liang didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately asked Cao Jiu to meet Han Cheng on his behalf. Strange, he asked Xiang Liang, "Uncle, why did you send someone to fetch the descendants of King Han?"

"It's your third uncle's friend Zhang Liang's idea." Xiang Liang replied casually: "He persuaded me to take this Han Cheng and make him the king of Han, and let him lead an army to capture the old land of South Korea, and mobilize the Koreans to revolt. Qin, becoming our foreign aid, I thought it was a good idea, so I did it."

"Uncle, don't we suffer too much by doing this?" Xiang Kang was surprised and said, "It's no good for us to send an army to help Han Cheng restore the country, and it's a loss to have an extra friendly army that can be equal to us, right? "

"Silly boy, you can't calculate it like this." Xiang Liang pointed out lovingly: "Sending troops to help South Korea restore the country, on the surface it seems that we are at a disadvantage, but in fact we only dispatched a little innocuous army, and we can use the influence of the Korean royal family and appealing force, organized a large number of old Korean people to rebel against Qin. Even if this matter fails, we will not lose much, but once we succeed, we will be like driving a nail under the armpit of the Tyrant Qin army, which can help us Contain a large number of Tyrant Qin troops and relieve our countless pressures on the front."

"And no matter whether it is successful or not, the descendants of the six countries will rush to visit Shangzhu Kingdom. Respecting Shangzhu Kingdom as the leader of the anti-Qin alliance will bring infinite benefits to Shangzhu Kingdom's prestige and prestige." Old man Fan also said: " This is Yangmou, General You, you need to learn more."

Brainwashed too severely by the unification thought of later generations, it is naturally difficult for Xiang Kang to understand Xiang Liang's behavior of reversing history. However, seeing that Xiang Liang has made up his mind, Xiang Kang doesn't say anything more, and Xiang Liang Go mess around.However, to Xiang Kang's surprise, when Han Cheng was led in front of Xiang Liang and talked about the issue of Korea's restoration after politeness, Xiang Liang not only agreed to make Han the King of Han after supporting the King of Chu, but also made Han Cheng the King of Han. He agreed to let Zhang Liangzi succeed his father as the prime minister of South Korea, and lead troops to restore South Korea with Han Cheng.

Seeing that Xiang Liang readily agreed to help South Korea restore the country, Han Cheng and Zhang Liang were of course overjoyed, but Xiang Kang, who knew what an ovary scheme is, felt very sorry. He regretted that he had not seized the opportunity to recruit Zhang Liang before. Let him be his accomplice and lackey.But now it’s done, and Zhang Liang’s attitude towards Xiang Kang is obviously very cold now, and Zhang Liang’s attitude towards Xiang Kang is obviously very cold, so even if Xiang Kang wants to have no chance to make amends, he can only sit on the sidelines Watching Zhang Liang become the second top strategist to pass by him after Old Man Fan.

This also made Xiang Kang's mood very bad. Even after returning to his camp, Xiang Kang's face was obviously gloomy, and he looked very unhappy.However, Chen Ping, who has always been good at observing words and expressions, was uncharacteristic this time. Not only did he not notice that Xiang Kang's expression was wrong, but he hurriedly asked as soon as they met: "General You, I heard that Xiang Zhu sent someone from Han to welcome King Han." His son Hengyang Lord Han Cheng, what did he say after meeting?"

"How do you know?" Xiang Kang was taken aback by the question, some did not expect Chen Ping to have such well-informed news.

"The people below me found out about it." Chen Ping replied smoothly, and then asked more eagerly: "General You, did Shangzhu Kingdom agree to make Han King Han, and when will the king be established?"

"I agreed, but I didn't say the time." Xiang Kang replied truthfully: "I just said that after we support the King of Chu, we will discuss when we will set up Han as the King of Han."

"That's good." Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and after rolling his eyes, Chen Ping hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Forgive me, General You. I have one very important thing to do right away, so I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Chen Ping left the tent in a hurry, leaving Xiang Kang in the big tent of the Chinese army. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Ping's gourd, and he didn't know why Chen Ping cared so much about Xiang Liang's plan to make Han become a man. The matter of King Han.

…………

Let’s take a look at the situation of the only Wei Bao army in Pengcheng who did not carry the banner of the Chu army. When Wei Bao failed to recruit Zhou Shu, a military genius who was buried in history, Xiang Kang not only regretted it, but also Emotional tears.But what Xiang Kang didn't know was that after Uncle Zhou returned to Wei Bao's army, even though Wei Bao arranged for him to continue commanding the original army, some rumors that were extremely unfavorable to Uncle Zhou suddenly appeared in the Wei army camp.

I don't know which goddamn bad guy planted and framed him to spread rumors and slander that when Uncle Zhou was serving as a guest general under Xiang Kang's command, because he was treated favorably by Xiang Kang, he gradually developed the idea of ​​betraying Wei Bao, not only did he stay with him He said bad things about Wei Bao behind his back, and encouraged Xiang Kang to speak to Xiang Liang, asking Xiang Liang to forcibly incorporate the remnants of the Wei army under Wei Bao's command and annex Wei Bao's army, and then Uncle Zhou could justifiably become a general of the Chu army. The Ming advocates the effectiveness of Xiang Kang.

At the beginning, this purely non-existent rumor was only circulating among Wei soldiers, but as time went by, this rumor inevitably reached Wei Bao's ears.At the same time, Wei Bao's two cronies, Bo Zhi and Feng Jing, also reported to Wei Bao, saying that when Uncle Zhou was under Xiang Kang's tent, he was not only highly valued by Xiang Kang, but also received a lot of generous gifts from Xiang Kang. , already had the thought of abandoning Wei Bao and seeking refuge with Xiang Kang.

Although he still doesn't like Uncle Zhou's confrontation and too direct speaking, Wei Bao still has some confidence in Uncle Zhou's character, so at the beginning, Wei Bao refused to believe such rumors, but three People become tigers, and after seeing his most trusted Bai Zhi and Feng Jing say the same thing, Wei Bao inevitably began to be a little skeptical. In addition, in order to thank Uncle Zhou for his help, Xiang Kang did give Uncle Zhou a gift. After inquiring about this situation, Wei Bao inevitably became more suspicious of Uncle Zhou, but he didn't rush to reveal it.

The situation quickly changed again. On the evening of Wei Cheng's arrival in Pengcheng, Gao Qian, a clerk under Xiang Liang's tent, suddenly paid a private visit to Wei Bao in the camp. Wei Bao held a banquet for Xiang Liang's sake. For a while, Gao Qian persuaded Wei Bao to give up the banner of the Wei army, and merged with the remnants of the Wei army into the Chu army, becoming Xiang Liang's generals like Ying Bu and Lu Chen.

Of course Gao Qian was persuading the wrong person. As a member of the royal family of Wei, Wei King Wei Jiu's younger brother, Wei Bao certainly dreamed of revitalizing the Wei State and becoming the King of Wei on his own.So after listening to Gao Qian's persuasive persuasion, Wei Bao immediately became angry and asked directly: "Mr. Gao, is this what you mean? Or did Xiang Zhu send you to say so?"

Gao Qian, who didn't dare to implicate Xiang Liang and took advantage of someone, replied honestly: "Don't dare to lie to General Wei. With less than [-] soldiers and no shortage of food, grass, and military equipment, it will definitely be as difficult as climbing the sky to revive the Wei State. Instead of insisting on being unique, the general..."

"Shut up!" Wei Bao interrupted Gao Qian roughly, and said angrily, "Since this is just what you mean, sir, please don't say any more, sir, Wei Bao was born as a Wei man and died as a Wei ghost, and he will never change his vote." Other countries, work for other countries!"

"General Wei, why are you bothering?" Gao Qian persuaded again: "Don't you know, General, that among the soldiers under your command, there are also many people who love the state of Chu, hoping that you will change the banner and join the Chu army?"

"Who? Under my tent, who is expecting me to change the banner and join the Chu army?" Wei Bao asked sharply.

Gao Qian didn't dare to speak anymore, but Wei Bao became more and more furious, and said directly: "It's getting late, if you have nothing else to do, sir, please leave."

Gao Qian didn't dare to hesitate, she hurriedly said goodbye, put down the unfinished wine and meat, and left the Wei army camp, but even though she didn't eat enough at Wei Bao's place, Gao Qian was still very happy, because the journey to Wei camp was a matter of time. Now, Gao Qian has already earned gold that she could not earn with her salary for ten years, and at the same time, Gao Qian is absolutely not afraid that Xiang Liang will find out about this - after all, it is also for Xiang Liang's benefit to persuade Wei Bao to merge into the Chu army, isn't it? ?
Gao Qian walked away disheartened, but Wei Bao was still angry. Apart from being angry at Gao Qian's shameless persuasion, he was also extremely wary of Gao Qian's last words. After thinking about it, Wei Bao simply called Bai Zhi and Feng Jing came, told them what happened just now, and asked for their opinions.As a result, Bai Zhi and Feng Jing were very vigilant after hearing this, and hurriedly said to Wei Bao: "General, be careful. Although Mr. Gao Qian said that it was his intention to persuade us to join the Chu army, we must guard against his coming to give Xiang Liang is acting as a lobbyist, trying to test your attitude and tone, but in fact Xiang Liang wants to forcibly annex our army."

"Of course I will be careful about this." Wei Bao snorted and said, "If the old thief Xiang Liang really proposes to annex our army, I will immediately leave here with soldiers and horses. I won't believe it. The anti-Qin Youjun strikes, attracting the curse of the world!"

Bai Zhi and Feng Jing nodded in agreement, but Wei Bao still couldn't let go, and said: "You said, is it true or false that Mr. Gao Qian said that some people in our army want to change the flag? Is he talking nonsense, or is it true? Is it true?"

After looking at each other, Bai Zhi, who dislikes Uncle Zhou very much, opened his mouth and said cautiously: "General, there is no wave without wind. I'm afraid this matter is not groundless. Now that the Chu army is powerful and our army is powerful, it is inevitable that among our soldiers It is not surprising that some people have the idea of ​​following others, which is also human nature."

"General, there have been rumors about this for a long time." Feng Jing, who had been at odds with Uncle Zhou, spoke more directly, and said: "In our army, there have been rumors that General Uncle Zhou wanted to leave our army. Go to the Chu army to enjoy the glory and wealth."

Wei Bao hesitated, and said after a long time: "It's just a rumor, without evidence, we can't believe it."

"General, if you think Uncle Zhou has been wronged, you might as well take this opportunity and call Uncle Zhou to have a try." Bai Zhi had an idea, and hurriedly said, "Call Uncle Zhou, and send Xiang Liang to come over." Ying persuaded us to tell him about the flag change, and then you pretended to be hesitant about this matter, General, and asked for his opinion. After he expressed his attitude, wouldn’t you know whether he was wronged or not, General?”

"Good idea." Wei Bao was overjoyed and said, "It's a good idea. If he is really loyal to Wei, then he will definitely not agree to our merging into the Chu army. The attitude on this matter is ambiguous, and maybe we will take this opportunity to persuade us to change the banner and work for the old man Xiang Liang. Let’s do it like this, and immediately send someone to pass on to Uncle Zhou, saying that I have important matters to discuss with him. He negotiated."

It took some time for the soldiers sent out to bring Uncle Zhou back to Wei Bao. Wei Bao, who was so angry after waiting, suppressed his anger, first politely asked Uncle Zhou to sit down, and then asked kindly : "What is General Zhou up to? Why did it take so long for my personal soldiers to find you?"

"Reporting to the general, the general is patrolling the camp, so your soldiers failed to find the general immediately. It is the crime of the general to keep the general waiting for a long time." Uncle Zhou replied truthfully and pleaded guilty.

"It's okay, you are loyal to your duty, how can I blame you?" Wei Bao waved his hand generously, and then said with a smile: "It is very important to invite the general here so late, and I want to ask the general for your approval." Opinion."

"May I ask the general, what is the important event?" Uncle Zhou asked curiously.

"The matter of merging our army into the Chu army." Seeing it poorly, Wei Baotu said, "Just now the counselors under General Xiang Liang of the Chu State went over the camp and advised me to follow the example of Yingbo and General Lu Chen and lead the army to the Chu army. The army was merged into the army of the Chu State, and the flag of the Chu State was changed from then on. Regarding this point, I don’t know what you think about it, General Zhou.”

When the critical moment came, after hesitating for a while, Uncle Zhou asked back: "General Wei, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's hard to decide." Wei Bao replied very vaguely, and said, "It's hard for Wei to be reestablished. Of course, I am reluctant to change the banner and bring our Wei soldiers to serve others. But you know our current situation, General. , Linji, the capital of the country, was captured by the Tyrant Qin army again, and there were only less than 3000 troops left. It would be even more difficult to rebuild the Wei State, and it might be defeated by the Tyrant Qin army on the battlefield at any time, so like Yingbo, like Lu Chen and others, merged into the Chu army, which is also a way to preserve the army."

Although he didn't know that Wei Bao was trying to test him on purpose, the more cautious Uncle Zhou still didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, and turned to Bai Zhi and Feng Jing next to him and asked, "General Bai, General Feng, what do you think?"

"I can't make up my mind like General Wei." Bai Zhi and Feng Jing spread their hands together, and then Bai Zhi said: "General Zhou, you have a lot of ideas, tell me what you think."

Uncle Zhou was very embarrassed, and couldn't help thinking of the request Chen Ping made to himself on behalf of Xiang Kang. After hesitating for a long time, Uncle Zhou, who kept his promise, gritted his teeth and said: "General Wei, just like you As I said, now we are almost at the end of the road, and instead of fighting alone with less than [-] defeated soldiers, it is better to change banners and merge into the Chu army like Ying Bu and Lu Chen."

Astonishment appeared on Wei Bao's face, he looked up and down at the anxious Uncle Zhou, Wei Bao suddenly changed his tone, and asked with a sneer: "So, General Zhou, you agree to be incorporated into the Chu army?"

I don't know why Wei Bao suddenly changed his face. Uncle Zhou panicked and said hurriedly: "General, the final general is unwilling to give up the Wei flag from the bottom of his heart, but considering our current situation, he feels that merging into the Chu army is also an option. .If the general is unwilling to merge with the Chu army, the last general will never object."

"General Zhou, you seem to have said something wrong, right?" Wei Bao sneered even more ferociously, and said, "Why do I think that you hope from the bottom of your heart that our Wei army will be merged into the Chu army and that you will become a minister of Chu?" ?”

"General, what do you mean?" Zhou Shuru was struck by lightning.

"What do you mean?" Wei Bao became more angry, and said through gritted teeth, "General Zhou, why are you pretending? Recently, there are some rumors circulating in our army. Don't tell me, General Zhou, you really don't know anything about it."

Uncle Zhou woke up, stood up and cupped his fists and said: "General Wei, you must not listen to the instigation of those despicable people. The general has also heard those rumors. They are pure nonsense and slander out of thin air. The general is loyal to Wei Guo." , the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

"Since it's a rumor, why did you persuade me to accept the Chu army and change to the Chu flag?" Wei Bao asked angrily.

"This..., this...." Uncle Zhou's weakness is that he really can't speak. After hesitating for a while, Uncle Zhou said frankly: "The general is entrusted by others, so I persuade you, general."

"Who entrusted it?!" Wei Bao roared and asked.

"Xiang Kang, Young Commander Xiang." Uncle Zhou told the truth and said, "When the general was in his camp, he once asked the general to speak in front of you, general, to persuade you to change your banner and join the Chu army, and the general agreed. In order to fulfill his promise, he persuaded the general just now."

"Haha, good, good, it really is like this!" Wei Bao laughed back angrily, and shouted: "Very good! Since you are so devoted to Young Marshal Xiang, what are you still doing here? Get out! Go to Xiang Kang!" Serve him in my son's army! I have few soldiers now, and I can't tolerate you in the army anymore, and I don't dare to delay your bright future! Get out! Get out immediately!"

"General, the last general is guilty!" Uncle Zhou hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, and quickly said, "The last general should die. The last general shouldn't persuade you to join the Chu army because of the kindness he received from Young Marshal Xiang. Damn it! But the general's loyalty to you and Wei is definitely a lesson for heaven and earth! General Wei, please remember the general's past minor achievements, spare the general this time, and give the general a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for his sins! "

As he said that, Uncle Zhou nodded his head again and again, with the utmost sincerity, and Bai Zhi and Feng Jing beside him were already laughing in their hearts, and then Feng Jing also pretended to persuade: "General Wei, General Zhou seems to be true. If he knew he was wrong, why not give him a chance. General Zhou can correct his mistakes, and maybe he won’t have any disagreements in the future.”

Uncle Zhou was also unlucky. At this time, someone outside the tent came to report that Xiang Kang sent someone to bring two jars of good wine and a roasted lamb, and he wanted to give it to Uncle Zhou by name. Wei Bao was furious when he heard that , roared at Uncle Zhou: "Did you hear that? Young Master Xiang is here to pick you up? Why don't you go with him to meet Young Master Xiang soon? Go to him to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

"General Wei, the last general has absolutely no intention of betraying you!" Uncle Zhou wailed in despair.

"Get out!" Wei Bao roared hoarsely, "Get out! From now on, don't come to me again, and I don't want to see you again!"
