Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 288
The distance was not very far, and seeing clearly that the jade chopsticks in Shen Yang's hand were directly crushed by him, Mr. Shusun's heart immediately became clear, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is something that is well known in the world. Prime Minister, our King of Han raised the flag of righteousness for the first time, and personally conquered dozens of cities in the four counties of Huaisi, the territory is even larger than now, and we can stand on our own as king long ago."

"But what did the King of Han do? One sentence, just one sentence!" Mr. Shusun said in a clear voice: "Just one sentence, our King of Han handed over dozens of cities in the four counties, along with the army and horses, to his master. Uncle Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang Gong, let Wu Xinjun split up his army and rebuild the Chu State on the territory he laid down with his own hands! Dealing with the most benevolent and righteous gentleman like our King of Han, what else can you worry about? of?"

The stupid things that Xiang Kang did back then were indeed earth-shattering, and left a deep impression on people all over the world. Of course, Shen Yang was no exception. With a look of approval, he secretly said: "That's right, Xiaoer Xiang Kang's credibility is unquestionable. Even my king's enemies are much stronger than many of my so-called allies."

In fact, Mr. Shusun is also very clear that it is extremely difficult for him to persuade Shen Yang to abandon Chu and return to Han. Eloquently said: "My lord, the ministers should continue what was interrupted by Cheng Taipu just now. It is true that the king of Xichu was far stronger than our king of Han in the past. No one can deny this, but the same, no one can. Deny it, the influence of the King of Western Chu on the princes of the world is not as good as it is now, and there is absolutely no possibility of regathering the powerful troops that he had during the Central Plains War."

"One goes up and down, but our Han King's strength is catching up, and we already have the capital to compete head-on with the Western Chu King. Your Majesty, don't think that the foreign ministers are boasting for our Han King. Your Majesty, you and the Henan King We have known each other for many years, so we should be very clear about his strength. Please ask yourself, if it were the King of Western Chu who sent troops to attack the King of Henan, would you be sure that in less than a month, almost all the main forces of the King of Henan would be wiped out, and the King of Henan would be forced to die? Can it only be trapped in a lonely city, lingering on?"

"The King of Western Chu couldn't do it, but our King of Han did. Doesn't this mean that the strength of our King of Han is at least comparable to that of the King of Western Chu, or even surpassed...?"

"You Han bandit army was lucky enough to win a few battles by relying on shameless tricks!"

Sima Ang's envoy, Cheng Lian, hurriedly interrupted Mr. Shusun, but Mr. Shusun didn't even think about it, and immediately asked: "Scheme isn't strength? If your Henan king has this ability, why don't you use tricks to fight a few times?" Victory? You can't defeat us Hanwang, and you used lies and deceit to trick Hanwang into sending troops to the north to rescue you, compared to who is more despicable and shameless?"

"you……!"

Cheng Lian was so angry that he had the urge to stab Mr. Sun to death, but after seeing Shen Yang's cold gaze, Cheng Lian, who was also a guest, could only shut up quickly.Mr. Shusun struck while the iron was hot, and quickly said: "My lord, you must understand the ideal of Taoism. Our King of Han is strong enough to compete with the King of Western Chu, and we never break our promises. In this case, why do you bother?" If you want to continue to follow the king of Western Chu who has no chance of winning, why don't you quickly abandon Chu and return to Han, and instead attach yourself to our King of Han, expand the territory after our King of Han defeats the Queen of Western Chu, and keep your wealth forever?"

Mr. Shusun's words were obviously a bit harsh, and Shen Yang immediately shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible. The king of Xichu has treated me with such kindness as a mountain. How can I do something ungrateful?"

Mr. Shusun deliberately let out a long sigh, and then said: "Since Your Majesty refuses to accept the kindness of the King of Han and our foreign ministers, then the foreign ministers will never dare to force them. I just ask the king to let the foreign ministers loosen their ties, and let the foreign ministers go back to report to the court. The king of Han reported the truth and asked the king of Han to decide on this matter."

After saying that, Mr. Shusun shouted in his heart again: "Let go of this old man, I will run out of words if I continue talking. The two countries are fighting each other, so don't kill me!"

It's a pity that Mr. Uncle Sun's acting skills this time are obviously too much. Not only did Shen Yang not order Mr. Uncle Sun who has been tied up until now, but he also looked at Mr. Uncle Sun very strangely, and asked doubtfully: "Why is Mr. Sigh sighing?" ?”

"Why do you even have to ask such a trivial matter?" Mr. Shusun muttered in his heart, but he replied: "Of course the ministers are sorry for the king's refusal to accept our King of Han's kindness. Can the foreign minister take his leave?"

Shen Yang has also come into contact with some lobbyists, knowing that the lobbyists who rely on lip service sigh in person, and usually have more important things to say, so he said: "Sir, there is no need to be tricky, you are deliberately trying to catch my appetite, just say it if you have something to say. "

"The foreign minister really has no other intentions." Mr. Shusun shouted his grievances loudly, and said, "The foreign minister is really just sorry for the king, your king, you should hurry up and let the foreign minister go."

"Why do you want to feel sorry for this king?" Shen Yang asked, and then threatened: "If you must catch this king's appetite, sir, then don't even think about leaving. The big tripod prepared for you, sir, is already full. Once there is water, you can ask your husband to come in at any time."

"You fucking (mother) stupid! This old man is just pretending, what do you take for real?!"

Mr. Shusun complained in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, he could only continue to babble casually: "Since the king wants the foreign minister to speak, then the foreign minister has the courage to speak up. You just said that the King of Western Chu has been kind to you as much as a mountain. I really don't understand, how did the King of Western Chu show kindness to you, Your Majesty?"

"Isn't the kindness that the King of Western Chu granted this king the King of Han?" Shen Yang asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, your throne was won by you, Your Majesty, and your soldiers who threw their heads and sprinkled their blood with swords and guns. It is a matter of course to be crowned king. What do you need to thank King Xichu for?"

Mr. Uncle Sun’s rhetorical question made Shen Yang dumbfounded, and it also made Shen Yang suddenly think of an important question, and said in his heart: “Yes, it’s true that this king is the king of Han who was entrusted by Xiang Yu, but this king’s throne is also carried by this king. It is only natural for the soldiers under his command to fight battle after battle, and to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, so why should this king thank Xiang Yu?"

"Also." Mr. Shusun said again: "Is the King of Western Chu very worthy of you, Your Majesty? You are also a hero who defeated the Tyrant Qin army. Why, Your Majesty, can only be assigned to Yingchuan County, and Sima Yang, King of Henan? Can you win the three counties of Sanchuan, Hanoi, and Handan? Your contribution in the anti-Qin war, my lord, is only [-]% of that of Sima Yang?"

Originally, deep down in his heart, he felt that Xiang Yu's entrustment was unfair, but when he heard what Mr. Uncle Sun said, Shen Yang's face suddenly became gloomy again, and Mr. Uncle Sun pouted at Sui He, the envoy of Lao San Liu, and said, "In addition , Your Majesty, compared with your great contribution to destroying Qin, what is Liu Ji's little contribution? Why can he be entrusted to Nanyang County, which was hardly destroyed by the war, and why you can only be assigned to the one that was completely devastated by the war? Yingchuan County? The land area of ​​Yingchuan County is less than half of Nanyang County? The King of Western Chu is so unfair, do you want to thank him, Your Majesty?"

Shen Yang finally nodded slowly, and for the first time showed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu in front of Sui He and Cheng Lian, while Mr. Shu Sun added fuel and jealousy, and said, "Your Majesty, foreign ministers dare to assert that it will be the same in the future, even if you help The King of Western Chu defeated our King of Han, and the King of Western Chu will never give you any fair treatment, because your territory is surrounded on three sides by the territories of the King of Western Chu, Liu Ji, and Sima Ang, and the King of Western Chu will never take him I will repay you with your territory, and I will not offend Liu Ji and Sima Ang for you. I will allocate their territory to you. The most amazing thing is to give you an enclave in Guanzhong, but if a dozen princes are divided, you can get it again. How many enclaves? Can it make up for the losses you suffered in the war, my lord?"

Shen Yang's face became more gloomy, and he also admitted in his heart that Mr. Uncle Sun's words made sense, but Mr. Uncle Sun continued to talk nonsense, and said: "But if you abandon Chu and return to Han, you will help our King of Han defeat the West. King Chu, the situation is completely different. The land to the east of Yingchuan is all the land of Western Chu. Our King of Han rewards you for meritorious service. Naturally, you can get as much land and cities as you want. And Liu Ji to the south of you, Our Majesty has hated him for a long time, and he must be destroyed. After he is destroyed, it is not a matter of our Majesty's words to allocate Nanyang County to your Majesty? And..., and... .”

"What else? Please tell me, sir." Shen Yang urged impatiently.

"What else?" Mr. Shusun cried out again in his heart, and suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Also, you are from Xiaqiu, right? Don't you want your hometown, Xiaqiu, to become your territory, and to have a good time in front of the people in your hometown? If you are willing to abandon Chu and return to Han, the foreign ministers can promise for us King of Han, and defeat the King of Western Chu in the future Afterwards, the entire Xue County, including your hometown Xiaqiu, will be assigned to you as your country, Your Majesty!"

"Sir, are you serious?" Shen Yang asked happily.

"Before the foreign ministers set off, our King of Han once personally told the foreign ministers that as long as you agree to become attached to our King of Han, other conditions can be negotiated except for the land and cities currently occupied by our Han army!"

Mr. Shusun replied immediately, and said: "If your majesty does not believe it, you can immediately send someone to ask us Hanwang face to face. If the foreign ministers cannot make decisions for him, promise to transfer Xue County to you as your country for him. Please fight again, your majesty." With one bite of the cauldron, the foreign ministers were cooked immediately!"

The joy on Shen Yang's face became even brighter, and Mr. Uncle Sun said with a smile again: "My lord, if there is such a day, please take care of the ancestral tombs of the foreign ministers. The ancestral tombs of the foreign ministers are not elsewhere, and they will soon become the king. Xue County Xue County in your land."

"Sir, are you also from Xue County?" Shen Yang was surprised at first. After seeing Mr. Sun and Mr. Sun nodding with a smile, Shen Yang immediately applauded and laughed, "No wonder this king always thinks that Mr.'s accent is kind, so it turns out that Mr. Sun is from this king. Fellow countrymen, hurry up and untie Mr. Shusun, the king's fellow countryman!"

The guard sang promises, and hurried forward to untie Mr. Uncle Sun. Mr. Sun heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that it was unlikely that he would be killed by Shen Yang today. He came out and said loudly: "Wait a minute, my lord! Have you forgotten that Xiang Kang's traitor has a close relationship with the Korean royal family, and the Korean royal family wholeheartedly wants to restore the country in Korea. How could they allow you, Your Majesty, to occupy forever with the support of Xiang Kang's traitor?" Han Di?"

Shen Yang was stunned, his face turned gloomy, and Mr. Shusun hurriedly said: "Who said that the Korean royal family must restore the country in Han? There are so many princes following the King of Western Chu, and we, the King of Han, will kill one or two at will. The land and city that you won is enough to restore the Korean royal family. The Korean royal family is not unreasonable. They saw that you, King Han, have made great contributions to the King of Han, and they saw that our King of Han compensated them with other land and cities. They still have Why do you want to fight to the death with King Han?"

Shen Yang nodded again, and Mr. Shusun was afraid that there would be some trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister thinks that you don't need to hesitate. If you continue to follow the King of Western Chu, you must immediately send troops to the north to fight to the death with our King of Han." In the end, let others reap the benefits. But if you abandon Chu and return to Han, not only can you preserve your strength, but in the future when the King of Western Chu launches a counterattack, we Han King will bear the brunt of it. There is no reason for the King of Western Chu to attack you first. We, the King of Han, are at the forefront , Your Majesty, are you still afraid of being turned into a bull and horse by others, and you will stand in front of others and work for others?"

"That's right! That's absolutely right! When Xiang Yu launches a counterattack in the future, he will definitely attack Xiang Kang first. There is no reason to attack Yingchuan first. With Xiang Kang in front, I can not only reap the benefits, but also have a chance Stand on the wall and watch the wind, if the momentum is strong, fall to that side!"

This idea flashed through his mind quickly, Shen Yang didn't hesitate anymore, first got up and untied Mr. Uncle Sun with his own hands, then bowed his hands to Mr. Uncle Sun, and said very sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Uncle Sun for pointing the way, Xiao Wang is willing to abandon Chu to Han , swear to follow the King of Han to the death, under the command of the King of Han, crusade against Xiang Yu's rebellious and regicide ministers, and never betray!"

"No way? Really? Shen Yang really wants to abandon Chu Guihan and join us?"

Mr. Uncle Sun was a little dumbfounded, but Shen Yang had already saluted Mr. Uncle Sun and made an oath. Of course, Mr. Uncle Sun did not hesitate to return the salute to Shen Yang immediately, swearing that he would fulfill his promise to Shen Yang. Shen Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly led Shen Yang's army, civil and military, to salute Mr. Uncle Sun, and invited Mr. Uncle Sun to the table to enjoy the hospitality of wine and meat.Cheng Lian, Sima Ang's envoy over there, of course had a pale face when he saw it, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but Shen Yang's guards immediately stopped him and shouted: "Stop, where are you going?"

It was still under the reminder of the guards that Shen Yang remembered that there were two spies who would definitely inform Xiang Yu immediately, so he hurriedly ordered Cheng Lian and Sui He to be taken down together, and then said to Mr. Shusun with great generosity: "Uncle Mr. Sun, it's up to you to decide what to do with them, if you wish, I will have someone put them in a cauldron and cook them to death in front of you."

Hearing this, Cheng Lian collapsed directly on the ground. Although Sui He tried to calm down, his heart was filled with despair. But to Cheng Lian and Sui He's surprise, after Mr. Shu Sun took a look at them, He even said to Shen Yang: "Your Majesty, the two countries are fighting each other. If you don't kill them, you should let them go. Although they wanted to kill the foreign ministers before, how could the foreign ministers do it for their own personal revenge? , let the king bear the unrighteous name of beheading the envoy?"

After finishing the high-sounding words, Mr. Uncle Sun added in his stomach, "You can't kill the bad head of the envoy. Xiang Kang seems to be addicted to forcing the old man to go to the enemy camp. If the old man takes the lead in beheading the envoy In the future, if others follow suit, the old man's head will be in danger."

"Mr. is really a sage and gentleman." Shen Yang praised, then waved his hand, and ordered: "For Mr. Uncle Sun's sake, let them all go, and let them go back to their lives."

Sui He and Cheng Lian, who escaped from the dead, breathed a sigh of relief together, and then Sui He just wanted to thank Shen Yang and Mr. Uncle Sun, but Cheng Lian, who had never wanted to collapse on the ground, suddenly jumped up and rushed to kneel down in front of Mr. Uncle Sun On the contrary, he paused again and again and said: "Mr. Shusun, the foreign minister deserves to die, the foreign minister is guilty, and the foreign minister wanted to kill you with his own hands just now. I never thought that you would let the foreign minister live by repaying your grievances in such a way. The foreign minister feels inexplicably ashamed. Surrender, go through fire and water for the King of Han, repay the great kindness of the King of Han and Mr. Uncle Sun, please take Mr. Uncle Sun in!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Lian turned to Shen Yang again and said, "My lord, forgive me. The sinner did deceive you before. What Mr. Uncle Sun said is the truth. The king of Henan was defeated outside the city of Henan, and his main force was almost lost. Exactly, at present, we can only defend the isolated city of Luoyang. The so-called asking your majesty to send troops to help the war is just a lie to your majesty to go to Sanchuan to die for nothing.

"Sure enough, it's a good thing that my boss didn't do anything wrong." Shen Yang took a breath, but in the end he waved his hand generously and said, "Forget it, you also followed orders, how can I blame you?" You? But that’s fine, with you as the witness that Sima Yingpifu lied to me first, I don’t have to worry that people in the world will say behind my back that I don’t want to miss my old relationship and have turned against Sima Yingpifu.”

Cheng Lian hurriedly thanked him, patted his chest and promised that he would let everyone in the world know that it was Sima Ang who deceived Shen Yang first, and not Shen Yang who was unrighteous to his old friend.Sui He over there let out a long sigh, and went up to thank him, saying, "Thank you King Han for his life-saving grace, and thank you Mr. Uncle Sun for repaying kindness with grievances. Please rest assured that King Han and Mr. Uncle Sun will return to Nanyang. The king of Nanyang truthfully reported the situation today, and asked the king of Nanyang to decide what to do in the future."

"You're welcome." Mr. Shusun was still loyal to his duty, and said with a sneer: "Go back and tell Liu Ji that if he likes to attack Wuguan, he can fight as much as he likes, but when he is enjoying himself in Wuguan, he can Don't forget that King Han will suddenly go south and stab him in the back."

Sui He silently said to himself: "Who said this old man can only flatter? What he said not only made Xiang Kang's traitor no longer have to worry about the rear of Guanzhong, but also made us Nanyang King have to worry about his own back."

In this way, relying on Mr. Uncle Sun's quick wit and sharp tongue, Xiang Kang, who originally wanted to stabilize the princes Wang Shenyang, directly took up the knife and joined the gang, openly changed his banner and abandoned Chu to Han, and joined the crusade Xiang Yu's queue.Not to mention, after a careful discussion with Mr. Uncle Sun, Shen Yang, in addition to agreeing to contain Liu Laosan to protect Xiang Kang's rear for the Han army, also sent General Guo Mi to lead [-] troops northward to help the Han army Attacking Sima Ang, he also wrote a letter to Sima Ang himself, persuading Sima Ang as a friend to take the initiative to open the city and surrender to the Han army, and also joined the team against Xiang Yu.

Shenyang Army's sudden defection of course gave the Henan Army a big surprise. Four days later, Shenyang Army generals Guo Mi and Mr. Shusun led their troops over Fangshan Mountain and arrived at the city of Goushi, which was still controlled by the remnants of the Henan Army. The defenders in the city also said that reinforcements were coming, and hurriedly cheered and opened the city gates to go out of the city to welcome the Shenyang Army. Of course, the Shenyang Army soldiers took down the Henan Army's Gou's defender without hesitation, forcing all the Gou's defenders to lay down. He surrendered his weapons and won the very important Goushi County for the Han army.

Then, when the news reached Luoyang, Sima Ang and Xiang Kang were of course stunned together, and shouted in disbelief, "How is it possible? How is it possible? How could Shenyang surrender to the traitors (us)? How could there be such a thing in the world?" Such a strange thing?"

"My lord, I don't want any rewards this time, I just ask you to promise me one thing, don't let me go to the enemy's camp again!" This is the first sentence Mr. Shu Sun said after reuniting with Xiang Kang , also said with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Uncle Sun, no matter what reward you want, this king can give it to you, but if there are any important matters that need to be negotiated and contacted with the enemy in the future, please do your best to share more with this king." This is Xiang Kang laughing If he answered with a straight line, it was an extremely ungrateful answer, because everyone knew that Mr. Shusun really didn't want to go out to the enemy's camp with his head tied to his waistband.
