Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 452
In order to ensure that Tianjia, the king of Qi, could be persuaded to act according to the plan, Xiang Zhuang and Liu Laosan not only appointed Lu Jia, a famous critic at the end of Qin Dynasty, as the envoy of the Western Chu Army to Linzi according to Han Xin's request, Liu Laosan also specially arranged The same eloquent confidant Sui He served as Lu Jia's deputy and asked them to work together to persuade Tian Jia.

There is a spacious road from Licheng to Linzi, and Lu Sui and his wife rushed to Linzi in just three days, relying on the tiger skin of the Western Chu Army, they met Qi Wangtian on the same day False, but it won't be so easy in the future, no matter how eloquent Lu Jia and Sui He are, Tian Jia just can't make up his mind.

The reason is of course very simple. This tactical plan proposed by Han Xin is too risky for Qiguo. Half of the main force will go to Licheng to participate in the battle. We have to defend Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and we have to deal with the army of Yan State that the Western Chu Army deliberately recruited for Qi State. As long as there is a slight accident, Qi State will definitely be more than just an emergency from the rear. There is no such possibility.

Because of this, not only Tian Du himself was hesitant to make a decision, but also his civil and military cronies were furious. They were all very dissatisfied with the Western Chu Army's plan to lure the Yan Army into the hinterland of Qi State, and felt that the Western Chu Army was deliberately sacrificing Qi State. interests—in fact, it is.

Fortunately, just one of the most ancient truths made the Qi royal court never dare to turn against the Western Chu army because of this, and Tian Jia also had to seriously consider whether to act in accordance with the Western Chu army's request, and risked the huge risk of his old nest being taken away to help. The Western Chu Army and the Jibei Army won the decisive battle in Licheng.

Lu Jia and Sui He also made a big fuss about this point, repeatedly pointing out that although this move was risky for Qi, if Qi did not take the risk to help the Western Chu Army win the decisive battle in Licheng, no matter how many troops were left to guard The mainland can't stop the Han army from marching into Qi in the future, let alone the Han army, Yan army and Tian Heng's rebels attacking Qi from three directions. Only by defeating the main force of the Han army's northern front corps, can Tian Jia hope to keep Qi In the country, calmly deal with the Tian Heng rebels in Jiaodong County.

In addition, of course, Lu Jia and Sui He had to make a promise to Tian Jia on Xiang Zhuang's behalf, promising that as long as Tian Jia helped the Western Chu army win the decisive battle in Licheng, then regardless of Qi's loss of city land, the future The Chu army will definitely help Qi State to take it back, and at the same time ask Xiang Yu to give Qi State appropriate compensation for the city land of Zhao State and Yan State.

Tian Jia really understood that if he could not stop the Han army, it would be useless to keep more troops, so Tian Jia still did not reject the request of the Western Chu Army in person, and chose to let Lu Jia and his party go to the posthouse to rest first, and then I sat down with my most trusted civil and military confidantes to discuss this matter carefully. After discussing for a long time, in view of the fact that the Qi army had formed a deep hatred with the Han army, Tian Jia and others finally decided to take a gamble and take the risk. Help the Western Chu Army win the battle in Licheng, keep the Jibei Ping Fan and Qi State.

"If there are other choices, I really don't want to gamble all my capital!"

This is Tian Jia's psychological words, but no matter how unwilling he is, there is no other way. In order to keep his throne and territory, Tian Jia still goes to the east front, adjusts the deployment and switches from offense to defense. He established a line of defense with Jishui, ready to arrive at the Yan army and was about to launch an attack. At the same time, he summoned Lu Jia and Suihe again and told them his decision.

Seeing that Tian Jia still obeyed obediently, Lu Jia and Sui He were of course very happy, but for the sake of caution, Lu Jia and Sui He did not rush to leave and return to Licheng to return to their orders, they just reported the matter to Xiang Zhuang and others in letters. Good news, I plan to wait until the main force of the Qi army withdraws to Linzi, and then go to Licheng together with the Qi army. Now that they have the opportunity to contact you directly, they are afraid that they will repeat their old tricks and send envoys to you to bluff and deceive you, advising you to be neutral and even surrender to them directly. I hope that your majesty must not forget that King Qigong (Tian Jian) ​​was killed The lesson of Tyranny’s entrapment (starvation to death) was caught in the tricks of the envoys of the Han thieves.”

"Don't worry, this king has known about Xiang Kang's traitor for a long time, how could he be fooled by him?" Tian Jia, who was restless in his heart, replied impatiently: "If the Han bandits don't send envoys to Zizi, that's fine." If you really dare to send some envoys to the king to sow discord, the king will cook him to death immediately without saying a word."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener meant it. Tian Jia's words unintentionally hit Sui He, the deputy envoy of the Western Chu Army. All of them are cunning and cunning, especially good at rhetoric. To be cautious, please ask the king to order the border. As long as there are Han thief envoys entering the country, let your country's border soldiers kill them on the spot. Only in this way can we completely cut off the thoughts of the Han thief .”

"You don't need to talk too much, sir, I have my own arrangements." Tian Jia replied even more impatiently, and even thought it was troublesome, he turned around and put the matter behind him.

Of course, the troublesome Tianjia accidentally saved Mr. Shusun's life. After more than three days, Mr. Shusun, who was a few days late, led [-] entourages and took a small road to the north bank of Jishui. At the border of the State of Qi, although he was immediately captured by the generals of the Qi army who had already fought against the Han army, he was not killed by the generals of the Qi army on the spot because of his status as an envoy of the Han army, and was even taken to Di County by the generals of the Qi army. Afterwards, he was escorted to Linzi by the guard of Di County in Qi State and handed over to Tian Wigfaluo.

Mr. Uncle Sun's good luck ended here. He was under the surveillance of the generals of the Qi army. He had just entered Linzi, the capital of Qi, in the continuous rain. After my uncle sent him as an envoy, Sui He, who had suffered a lot from him, changed his face on the spot and blurted out: "No! This old man Shu Suntong is not only good at speaking, but also shameless and especially good at flattery. Flattery, if you let him meet with Tianjia, maybe things will repeat."

"Then let's go see Tian Jia right away and ask him to kill Shusun Tongpifu with a sword." Lu Jia said immediately.

"It's not the best policy." Sui He shook his head and said, "The two countries are fighting each other. If the envoys are not killed, Tian Jia may not listen to us. The best way is for us to go to the post house where Uncle Sun Tongpi lived and find an excuse Meet with him, and then kill him with a single sword, so as to be sure."

"A clever plan!" Lu Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Based on the current situation, even if we directly kill the envoy of the traitors, Tian Jia will never dare to say anything, and after we kill the old man Shusuntong, the traitors will be killed again." We will only put this account on Tian Jia's head, and we don't have to worry about Tian Jia's recurrence."

After discussing the plan, Lu Jia and Sui He hurriedly took two sharp swords, led some entourages to go out in a car, and rushed to the post house arranged by the army of Qi State for Mr. Uncle Sun. , Sui He still used the excuse to thank Mr. Uncle Sun, to thank Mr. Uncle Sun for saving his life under the knife of Shen Yang, and let Mr. Uncle Sun, who also had an entourage, meet him and Lu Jia unprepared .

Not to mention, the excuse Su He made really deceived Mr. Uncle Sun. After learning that Su He Lai, who had been saved by him, thanked him, Mr. Uncle Sun not only did not have any suspicion, but also He snorted triumphantly: "For you, you have a conscience, you know how to repay the old man for saving your life, let's see how you thank me."

After saying that, Mr. Uncle Sun didn't hesitate, got up and left the house immediately, and rushed to the living room to meet Lu Jia and Sui He with a smile on his face. What kind of thank you gift did you bring.

At this time, Lu Jia and Sui He finally showed some flaws. Mr. Shu Sun, who is good at paying attention to details, just glanced into the hall, and immediately realized that something was wrong—the case in front of Sui He did not have any wrapped gift boxes. , the entourage behind him also did not hold these things in their hands.Mr. Shusun also felt strange at once, and thought to himself: "Did you really come to thank the old man? You don't have any money to show your life-saving grace, so do you just want to send the old man away with a few empty words?"

Strange in his heart, Mr. Uncle Sun couldn't help but stop for a while, and Sui He became a little anxious. Just when he saw clearly the appearance of Mr. Uncle Sun who had made him suffer such a great humiliation, he immediately got up and left the table, and quickly walked towards Mr. Uncle Sun. , cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Uncle Sun, it's been a long time. Thank you sir for saving your life."

After all, Sui He really bowed down to Mr. Uncle Sun, Mr. Uncle Sun hurriedly came to support Sui He in a hypocritical and polite manner, but he muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart: "Zhuzi, it seems that I really want to send this old man away with a few words. Unconscionable thing, next time if there is another chance like in front of Shen Yang, let's see if this old man can save you."

"In Lujia, I met Mr. Uncle Sun."

At this time, Lu Jia also greeted Mr. Uncle Sun and bowed his hands to salute Mr. Uncle Sun. He distracted Mr. Sun He to create a mobile phone opportunity. Su He understood, and immediately took the opportunity of Mr. Uncle Sun to look up at Lu Jia, and quickly stretched out his hand To draw the sword from my waist...

Sui He really underestimated Mr. Uncle Sun, seeing his arm move out of the corner of his eye, Mr. Uncle Sun also said that he went to get the precious gift in his sleeve pocket to thank him, so he quickly cheered up and took a closer look, but when he saw When Sui He went to grab the hilt of the sword at his waist, Mr. Shu Sun was taken aback immediately, and said to himself, "What does this man want?"

It was too late to say, but it was so fast, just grasping the hilt of the sword, Su He immediately drew the sword, but what Su He never dreamed of was that Mr. Uncle Sun's reaction speed was far beyond his imagination, and he just saw His sword was halfway out of its sheath, and Mr. Shusun came back to his senses. Immediately, he pushed his chest vigorously with both hands, pushing him back two steps and bumping into Lu Jia's body, then turned around and walked towards Lu Jia. Running outside the hall, he screamed like a pig, "Help! Killed!"

"ordinary man!"

The assassination failed at the last moment, and in a rage, Sui He and Lu Jia immediately drew out their swords and rushed out of the hall to chase Mr. Shusun. The entourage they brought followed immediately, and they even drew their swords and chopped down the man. Uncle Sun came to meet them with two followers of the Han army. The officials and servants of the Qi army in the post house were all stunned by this scene.

Of course it is hard for the poor Mr. Uncle Sun, his entourage was killed by the enemy, and the other entourage lived in the servant's house and couldn't come to help for a while. Facing Su He and Lu Jia who were chasing and killing him with red eyes.

But fortunately, Mr. Uncle Sun has a lot of experience in this field-the reason will be discussed later, and when he hurriedly turned around and saw that the situation was wrong, Mr. Uncle Sun did not dare to stop for half a step, but used all his strength to roll and crawl He rushed directly to the gate of the posthouse, and while he was running for his life, he struggled to tear off his robe, and quickly threw it away, lest the wind in the robe with its large sleeves would affect his escape speed, and even trip him.

That's not to mention, when he rushed to the gate of the posthouse, when he heard the noise of the gatekeepers coming to check the situation, Mr. Uncle Sun not only passed through their gaps like a mouse or mouse, but also turned around and took a Qi soldier away. The soldiers pushed towards Lu Jia and Sui He, and shouted again, "Killer! Help!"

He blocked Sui He and Lu Jia with the soldiers of the Qi army who were pushing past, and Mr. Shusun rushed to the street without hesitation, and even went to the crowded places, pushing and pulling whenever he had the opportunity, taking advantage of the unprepared way of coming and going Ren stopped the pursuers for him, and the tip of Sui He and Lu Jia's sword had already touched him several times, and he dodged them with great agility. , was so angry that he yelled, "Old man! Stop for Nai Weng!"

When the matter came to this point, Mr. Uncle Sun would still stop, of course he was a fool, and ran like flying feet. Mr. Uncle Sun also saw that the courtyard door of a family by the road was open, and no one was blocking the door, so he said nothing. Saying that, he rushed into the courtyard, quickly closed the courtyard door with lightning speed, and quickly locked the latch before Sui He and Lu Jia knocked the door open, temporarily blocking Sui He and Lu Jia who were rushing into the bullfight. Jia.

Sui He and Lu Jia's scolding and knocking on the door quickly surprised the owner of the house. Seeing the disheveled Mr. Sun standing against the gate, the owner of course hurried over to question the situation, and Mr. Uncle Sun While pressing the door of the hospital with his back firmly, he bowed to the owner and said loudly deliberately: "Sir, help! Sir, help! I was chased by murderers and escaped here with nowhere to go. Please let me go into your house and hide for a while. Hide, wait for the officers and soldiers to come and take down the culprit, and I will reward you generously."

After saying this, Mr. Shusun took another deep breath so that he would have enough oxygen for his body to use, and then rushed to the backyard of this house, and deliberately shouted: "Madam, I'm being rude, please let me hide in the room!"

Without Mr. Uncle Sun pushing the door of the house with his body, the thin courtyard door was of course quickly smashed open by Sui He and Lu Jia. After leading a few entourages and rushing into the courtyard with swords, they heard Mr. Uncle Sun shouting. Of course Sui He directly rushed into the house to search, and immediately frightened the women and children of this family to cry and shout, but Sui He ignored them at all, and just quickly searched every room, and there was no one on the beam. Let go.Finally, after finding nothing, Lu Jia grabbed the paralyzed hostess and shouted with red eyes, "Where is that bastard? Where is he hiding?"

"The strong man spares his life, the strong man spares his life, he didn't come in, he just ran over the wall from the backyard."

Sui He and Lu Jia were dumbfounded by the hostess's crying answer, and even couldn't believe the answer. They dragged the hostess and rushed to the backyard, and saw the traces left by Mr. Lu Jia roared wildly, "Shameless old thief! You are too cunning! You can still play such tricks at this time!"

No matter how much you shout, it's useless. When Sui He, Lu Jia and others rushed out of the house to find Mr. Uncle Sun, there was a huge crowd and the houses were falling apart. Where could Mr. Uncle Sun be seen?However, Lu Jia, Sui He and the others still refused to give up. In addition to continuing to search Mr. Shusun's whereabouts, they also revealed their identities to the guards from the Linzi Temple who came after hearing the news, and forced the Linzi guards to help them search Mr. Sun's whereabouts. whereabouts.

Still the same sentence, Qi Guo dare not offend Xichu no matter what now, so after knowing the identity of Lu Jia and others, the Linzi guards can only honestly help them search for Mr. Uncle Sun, but Lu Jia and others are angry. The most embarrassing thing is that even with the help of these local snakes in Linzi, they searched the surrounding areas for a long time, but they still failed to find the whereabouts of Mr. Shusun. Lu Jia and Sui He were both surprised and strange, and roared angrily, " Where did this old man go? Did he fly into the sky? Or did he escape from the ground?"

Of course, Mr. Shusun neither flew into the sky nor escaped from the ground. At the same time, in front of the palace of the King of Qi, a donkey cart carrying charcoal suddenly trotted over. After stopping nearby, the driver turned around and said something to the charcoal pile. When they arrived, the charcoal pile was suddenly lifted, and Mr. Shusun, whose whole body was stained black by charcoal ash, jumped out of the donkey cart and rushed directly to the gate of King Qi's palace. The driver was furious and shouted: "Sir, promise me The money, promise my money!"

Mr. Uncle Sun, who had already taken off his robe, of course ignored the coachman, but rushed directly to the gate of King Qi's palace, and the guards of the Qi palace who came up to stop him bowed and said, "Please, general, please report to your king, just say the envoy of the Han Dynasty Uncle Sun Tong was hunted down by the envoys of Western Chu, Lu Jia and Sui He, so he came here to ask for help, and he begged His Majesty to show mercy and extend his hand to rescue him."

"Are you an envoy from the Han Kingdom?" the Qi palace guard asked in surprise, staring at the ashes-faced Mr. Shu Sun.

"It's absolutely true." Mr. Shusun hurriedly answered, clasping his hands together, and said, "General, please take this subordinate down now. If you prove that I'm lying later, please use the sword in your waist to cut off the head of my subordinate!"

Surprised, he looked Mr. Uncle Sun up and down. Seeing Mr. Uncle Sun's solemn expression did not seem to be fake, the guard of Qi Palace nodded and told Mr. Uncle Sun to go with him. Mr. Uncle Sun quickly thanked him and invited the guard Wait for a while, then turned back to the coachman who was afraid to go after him, cupped his hands and said to him: "Thank you, strong man, for saving your life. Don't worry, the one hundred gold that I promised you will never be short of you. Please come now." Just go to the posthouse on the East Street and ask our Han country envoys for money, and tell them that the old man, Uncle Sun Tong, asked them to give it, and they will definitely give you a hundred gold immediately."

"Really? Don't lie to me again?" the coachman asked suspiciously.

"Strong man, if you don't want the hundred gold that the old man promised you, you don't have to go." Mr. Shusun immediately said: "Also, strong man, after you get the gold, please be sure to tell us the Han Dynasty envoys again." My whereabouts, let them come here to meet me with the old man’s clothes, letters, and seals.”

Coveting the one hundred gold promised by Mr. Uncle Sun, the coachman drove to the post where Mr. Uncle Sun was staying in doubt. Mr. Uncle Sun looked at the direction he was fleeing from, and said with a grinning face: "Just rely on it." You bastards, do you also want to kill this old man? You don’t even ask about it. Back then, when this old man escaped from Xianyang and fled thousands of miles back to Xuedi, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao sent so many people to chase and kill this old man, but half a velvet hair of this old man was injured. ?!"

After speaking with a smug grin, Mr. Uncle Sun turned around resolutely and strode towards the gate of King Qi's palace. His expression became extremely solemn and solemn for the first time, and he said word by word in his heart: "Mr. Man, since you are so kind and revengeful, don’t blame the old man for being ruthless! This time, if the old man doesn’t persuade Tian Jia to cook you to death with a cauldron, the old man will follow your surname Lu!”
