Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 391

"Unfaithful and unfilial? Unkind and unrighteous?"

As he grows old, Tian Bu's sudden change of color certainly failed to frighten Mr. Zhou Shu, one of the four old men in Shangshan. On the contrary, the smile on the old man's face was even more cordial, and he said with a smile: "General, I don't understand Now, I advise you to accept the canonization of our King of Han and become the lord of Qi, how can it be considered disloyal and unfilial, and how can it be considered inhumane?"

"You let this general betray the king, deceive the king and forget your kindness, and accept the throne that you Han thief canonized. Isn't it a beast of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and unrighteousness?" Tian Bu asked angrily.

"General, the old man doesn't understand even more." The old man Zhou asked slowly: "If this can also be regarded as betraying the king and deceiving the king, then Tian Jia betrayed Qi Wang Tianshi and accepted the canonization of Xiang Yu to replace Tianshi. Becoming the king of Qi, is it a betrayal of the king, a beast that deceives the king and ungrateful?"

Tian Bu was at a loss for words, and really couldn't find anything to refute the old man Zhou, because Tian Jia, the current king of Qi, whom Tian Bu was loyal to, was only sent by Tian City of Qi King at that time to reinforce Zhao Guo on the Julu battlefield during the anti-Qin war. A general of the Qi State, because he stood in the right position, was appreciated by Xiang Yu, and then Qi Wang Tianshi and Qi Xiang Tian Rong were destroyed by the Western Chu Army because they opposed Xiang Yu. Tian Jia was named King of Qi by Xiang Yu. So strictly speaking, Tian Jia also obtained the throne by betraying King Qi.

"General, Fan Shuimoshan, since Tian Jia took the lead in doing this, why not you follow his example?"

The old man Zhou struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Besides, you, the general, should know better than anyone else whether Tian Jia, the king of Qi, won the hearts of the people. , Looting money, all the people of Qidi hate Xichu deeply, Tian Jia, as a Qiren, a descendant of the Qi royal family, does not want to avenge the people of Qi, on the contrary, he accepts the canonization of Xiang Yu, and leads the Qi army as the Xichu bandit army How can the people at the head of Guizhou in Qi agree with Tian Jia? How can they willingly accept him as the king of Qi?"

"In this case, General, why don't you take this opportunity to respond to the heavens and accept the canonization of our King of Han, replacing Tian Jia as the King of Qi?" The old man Zhou continued: "Then lead the army of Qi to return to Qi, set things right, and cannot be expelled." The puppet king Tianjia of the people's hearts, avenges the blood and hatred of the people of Qidi who have been poisoned by the Western Chu, rebuilds the ancestral temple of Qi State, and returns the heads of Qidi and Guizhou to live and work in peace and contentment?"

If old man Zhou's words were applied to other ambitious people, it might have a lot of effect. However, it is a pity that Tianbu is a person without much ambition. He has his family members as hostages in Linzi, and he knows that he is His prestige is hard to convince the public, and it is absolutely impossible for the generals in the army to follow him to rebel and become king, so Tian Bu not only refused to accept Xiang Kang's letter submitted by the old man next week, but also shouted: "Shut up! Stop talking sweet words in front of this general! I It is true that the King of Qi was conferred by the King of Western Chu, but my lord was able to become the King of Qi because of his achievements in leading the army against Qin! His hard work and meritorious deeds make him the King of Qi, and it is a matter of course!"

After drinking, Tian Bu waved his hand again and said: "Doctor Zhou, it's getting late, I don't want to continue talking nonsense with you, please go back! Go back and tell the traitor Xiang Kang, just say that Tian Bu is upright and loyal to our King Qi , will never covet the so-called king of Qi he canonized! Since he wants to fight, he just sends troops to attack, and wants my Tianbu to betray the Lord and surrender on his knees, he is daydreaming!"

"The general is really a loyal minister! This old man admires you!" The old man Zhou praised from the bottom of his heart, and then said: "However, the general, I still feel sorry for you. There are two reasons. One is that we, the King of Han I really admire you very much, and I sincerely hope that you can change your flag and surrender. Second, although you are loyal and commendable, the general, other people are not like you. Therefore, I can conclude that within a few days, you will definitely be the general. You will regret not accepting our King of Han's kindness."

"Other people are not the same as this general? What do you mean?" Tabe became alert.

"Forgive me, General, I can't tell you the specific situation." The old man Zhou put on a pass, and said with a smile: "In short, within a few days, the Western Chu army who is fighting side by side with you, General, will definitely be killed. The earth-shattering changes are destined to be absolutely unfavorable to you, General, and the army of Qi, and at that time, I hope the General will not be surprised."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Tian Bu became more vigilant and asked, "What great changes will happen to the Western Chu Army?"

"It's okay to tell the general about your situation." The old man Zhou said with a confident face, and said with a smile: "General, you are loyal to the king, but in the Western Chu army, there are people who are not as stubborn as you, the general. It is already easy for the army to take down the camp of the Western Chu Army! By then, the rest of the Western Chu Army will be completely wiped out. Not only will you be more isolated and helpless, but the danger of the highlands will also disappear. Therefore, this old man can say that you will regret it, General. Too late!"

After uttering such wild words, the old man Zhou stood up, cupped his hands and said: "General, this old man can only talk so much, think about it again, and I can tell you clearly that our Han army will attack the West first. The camp of the Chu thief army, and then send troops to attack your camp. During that period, you still have room for regret. Please think about it carefully, and prepare to see for yourself what is called knowing the current affairs and knowing how to advance and retreat. Correct choice. Farewell."

After saying that, the old man Zhou stepped up and walked out. Of course, Tian Bu, who was not congenial to him, didn't stay. He just rolled his eyes and thought in his heart, and said to himself: "The meaning of this old man's words should be that there are already people from the Western Chu Army. Rebellion, ready to cooperate inside and outside to help the Han bandits take down the camp of the Western Chu bandit army. Is it true or not? If it is true, it will be troublesome. Once the Western Chu army is finished, the Han bandit army will take down the camp of the Western Chu army. We have lost our commanding advantage, and we are completely alone, and there is no way to fight this battle."

The decision-makers of the Han army controlled by treacherous gangsters are always very considerate in terms of tactics, because old man Zhou traveled to the Qi army camp in a magnificent float, and it didn’t take long for old man Zhou to leave the Qi army camp. The army sent envoys to ask Tianbu about the situation and purpose of the Han army's contact with him. Tianbu didn't need to hide anything, and of course told the situation directly to the envoy of the Western Chu army.

This is not counted, because he lacks understanding of the internal situation of the Western Chu Army, let alone that Zhou Yin and Xiang Guan are already suspicious of each other. Just to be cautious, Tian Bu also told Xi Chu exactly what old man Zhou said. The envoys of the army reminded Zhou Yin and Xiang Guan to be careful to guard against traitors within the Western Chu Army, and to help the Han army quickly take down the Western Chu Army's camp. However, Tianbu will definitely send someone to tell the West Chu Army the news.As a result, the envoy of the Western Chu Army was taken aback when he heard it, and hurriedly thanked Tian Bu, and then hurried back to the camp to report this important situation to Zhou Yin.

Immediately afterwards, when the envoys of the Western Chu Army reported the situation to Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin, whose position had already begun to waver, was of course complaining secretly. , I also have to worry that Old Man Zhou's threat is true, and other traitors have really appeared in the army.Then, after repeated calculations, Zhou Yin told the messenger: "Understood, the commander will secretly investigate the traitor, but you must keep this situation a secret, and you cannot spread it in our camp, so as not to shake our army's morale."

"What situation should be kept secret? Can't spread it in the camp?"

It was a coincidence that at this time, Xiang Guan's voice suddenly came from the front of the Chinese army's big tent, and then, as usual, the confident Xiang Guan rushed directly into the Chinese army's tent without notification. , and asked: "Da Sima, I heard that the Han thieves sent envoys to contact the Qi army. Did you send someone to ask about the situation? Also, what did you just say that needs to be kept secret?"

"Zizi, you're getting more and more crazy."

Zhou Yin was secretly angry again, and became more and more dissatisfied with Xiang Guan's repeated disrespect to him, but he didn't dare to explode, so he could only continue to swallow his anger, and roughly told Xiang Guan about the situation of old man Zhou's envoy to the Qi army, and insisted. With a scalp, he said that old man Zhou hinted that there were traitors within the West Chu Army.Needless to say, Xiang Guan became suspicious immediately after hearing this, and immediately asked Zhou Yin: "Da Sima, what the envoy of the Han bandits said to General Qi Guo obviously means that there are traitors in our army, and we are going to join forces from inside and outside." What do you think about the fact that the Chinese bandits took our camp?"

When asked this question, Xiang Guan was still staring at Zhou Yin with piercing eyes, but Zhou Yin was a little bit guilty, his eyes drifted away and he didn't dare to look at Xiang Guan, and said: "The Chinese thief is cunning, and the old man Zhou Shu's words are also true. It may be deliberately sowing discord, trying to make us suspect each other and create conflicts. We can't believe it. However, for the sake of caution, this commander will also send someone to investigate the matter secretly. He will be spared."

Suspicious Neighbor Stealing Ax became more suspicious the more he looked at it, not to mention that Zhou Yin's expression was obviously a little strange. Seeing that Zhou Yin's appearance was not right, Xiang Guan became more and more suspicious, and at the same time asked: "Then Da Sima, what if If there is such a traitor, then who do you think this traitor should be?"

"How does this Commander know this?" Zhou Yin answered with more confidence, and then said: "Brother Xiang, it's just a side talk from the traitors, and there is no real evidence to prove that there has really been a war in our army. It’s not too late to make a decision after we find out what’s going on.”

"I'm afraid it will be too late." Xiang Guan murmured in his heart, but because there was no evidence, Xiang Guan couldn't continue to pursue the matter. It’s over, and please rest assured, no matter who is in our army, if he has a different heart and dares to collude with the traitors secretly, I will never let him go lightly!"

"Whoever it is? Including me, right?" Zhou Yin heard something in Xiang Guan's words, and at the same time he felt more and more angry, he forced a smile and said: "Of course, brother Xiang Guan, don't worry, if we are found out There is really a traitor in the army, this commander will definitely hand him over to you to deal with."

Xiang Guan nodded, and then he handed his farewell and left the account of the commander in chief of the Chinese army. The emissary before him also left, but not long after, Zhou Yin's personal soldiers came to report to him, saying that Xiang Guan had left the commander in chief. After the tent, he called away the envoy who had been sent to the Qi army camp before, and took him to his camp.Zhou Yinwen was furious when he heard the report, so he slapped the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Zhuzi! How dare you not trust me to this extent! It seems that you are really doubting me. Already!"

More than just suspicion?After asking the envoy in person about the details of the envoy's visit to the Qi army's camp, Xiang Guan even came up with such an idea, and secretly said: "The envoy of the Han bandits must be so confident because they already feel that they will win. Even if we let us Knowing that there are traitors in our camp, we have nothing to do with their traitors. If this is the case, this traitor cannot be someone else, but someone who even I dare not touch casually... "

Suspicious and unavoidable, in order to ensure that Zhou Yin can be successfully killed at the critical moment to seize military power, Xiang Guan also had to make some preparations in advance, just like in history, Xiang Yu gave the generals of the Xiang family, Yingbu, Chai Wu and others greeted each other the same way, in order not only to be isolated and helpless when they did it, but to be killed by Zhou Yin's henchmen who might exist in turn, and in order to be able to successfully seize power after killing Zhou Yin, after repeated calculations, Xiang Guan still sent his relatives. The soldiers rushed to each battalion of the Western Chu Army, and invited the generals of the Western Chu Army who they trusted and had enough weight to post and discuss, and prepared to greet everyone first, so that they could do it smoothly when necessary...

Of course, Xiang Guan once again underestimated Zhou Yin's ability to control the Western Chu army. The fact that he brought the envoy back to his camp to speak was immediately reported to Zhou Yin, not to mention that he suddenly invited several Western Chu soldiers Such a big move for generals to speak at a gathering?Therefore, several generals of the Western Chu Army who were selected by Xiang Guan gathered in his camp and were ordered to secretly monitor Xiang Guan's eyeliner, and immediately reported the situation to Zhou Yin!

"There are those people?"

"Reporting to Da Sima, there are General Wu Su and General Dongfang Luodongfang, as well as General Pang Run, the brother-in-law of General Xiang Sheng, and General Zhou Ji, the brother-in-law of General Xiang Guan."

Zhou Yin's complexion changed completely before the soldier's answer was finished, because these generals of the Western Chu Army were not only very close to Xiang Guan, but also the best relatives of the old Xiang's family. The general of the Western Chu Army who will never follow Zhou Yin at all times!So Zhou Yin had no choice but to beat his heart, and thought to himself: "What did Xiao Zhuzi Xiang Guan call these people? What does he want to do? Does he want to harm me?"

…………

In Xiang Guan's account at the same time, Xiang Guan had already told several of his relatives and buddies the specific situation, and secretly showed them Xiang Yu's warrant for him to grab the class and seize power, telling them to do a good job of helping him. Mental preparation.Needless to say, the result was either a relative of Xiang's family or Xiang Guan's best friend. Of course, Wu Su, Pang Run and others all agreed, and they all expressed their full support for Xiang Guan to act when necessary.

On the contrary, Zhou Ji, Xiang Guan's brother-in-law, raised doubts and said: "General Xiang, we are only suspicious at present, and there is no real evidence to prove that Da Sima has secretly colluded with the traitors. If Da Sima was wronged, or the insider raped another If there is someone else, what should we do? Also, Da Sima is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and we all have to obey his orders, if he really has a different intention and is the first to attack, how should we deal with it?"

Xiang Guan is only brave and has never had any talent for strategy. Naturally, he couldn't answer the brother-in-law's question, so he could only ask rhetorically: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"How about this?" Zhou Ji suggested: "General, you should find an excuse now and invite Da Sima to meet you here. If he is open and selfless, then he will definitely not refuse your invitation. If he If you really have a ghost in your heart, if you have any ulterior motives, you will definitely not dare to come to your camp to take risks, and will only find reasons to refuse. In this way, we can also make up our minds to take him down and seize his military power!"

As soon as Xiang Guan heard the applause, he immediately excused that he had killed a war horse with a broken leg in his camp, and sent someone to the Chinese army camp to invite Zhou Yin to come over to eat meat and drink. It really made people kill a horse that was injured on the battlefield two days ago but could still be healed, and cooked the horse meat to share with Zhou Yin.

The horses in Xiang Guan's camp were sacrificed in vain. He knew that Xiang Guan had gathered several of his relatives and buddies together, and he was indeed a bit ghostly in his heart. Zhou Yin dared to go to Xiang Guan's direct army camp to drink and eat meat. ?Therefore, after Xiang Guan's personal soldiers sent the invitation message to Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin just made some calculations and immediately said: "Reporting to General Xiang Guan, I said that I appreciate his kindness, but I am busy with military affairs. I really can't get away, so there is no way to go there, I can only have a banquet with him later."

After all, Zhou Yin also asked someone to bring two altars of fine wine from Zhaodi that Zhang Er had honored to him before, and asked Xiang Guan's soldiers to take them back to thank Xiang Guan.But there is still no way, Zhou Yin’s fine wine is still free, and just as the soldiers sent the answer to Xiang Guan, Xiang Guan was so angry that he grabbed one jar of wine and smashed the other jar of wine together, roaring: " You man! Sure enough, I have ghosts in my heart, so I dare not come!"

Wu Su and the others nodded their heads, Zhou Ji also gritted his teeth, and said to Xiang Guan: "General Xiang, don't hesitate any longer! Zhou Yin is the commander of the whole army, and it is very difficult for us to guard against a sudden attack. The only way we can do it is now. We can only act first, take him down first and seize the military power, so that we can be sure of everything! You have the king's warrant in your hand, even if we are the first to attack, it is justifiable!"

Xiang Guan nodded vigorously, and immediately asked: "Then how do we do it?"

"General Wu Su, if I remember correctly, according to the order, it should be your turn to lead the army on duty tonight, right?" Zhou Ji asked Xiang Guan's best friend, Wu Su.

Wu Su nodded, acknowledging that Zhou Ji remembered correctly, and then his eyes lit up immediately, and he suddenly understood what Zhou Ji meant, and hurriedly said: "According to the custom, after Mr. Zhou Yin lights up the torch every night, he has to go to the army on duty at night. Checking the night defense preparations, General Zhou means, we will do it at that time?"

Before Wu Su finished speaking, the eyes of Xiang Guan and the others all lit up, and all of them showed grim smiles at the corners of their mouths.
