Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 518 Knowing Him Too Much

As Zhang Sheng, the senior official of the Yan State, said, in order to calm the hearts of the people, after he forced to land in Pengcheng, the capital of the Western Chu State, Xiang Kang did issue an edict, announcing the forgiveness of all the civil and military generals of the Western Chu Army. As long as the civil and military officials and soldiers of the Western Chu Army do not resist, put down their weapons and surrender, they can choose their own way out, and they will no longer be held accountable for their past crimes against the Han army.

Just as Han Xin expected, Xiang Kang and Han Ting never forgot his existence. Even though he was basically useless, Xiang Kang had no plans to use him for the time being, and he did not want to kill him to make the rest of the Western Chu army popular. Panicked, after his whereabouts were discovered, Xiang Kang still greeted the local government in Huaiyin, telling Huaiyin to keep an eye on Han Xin, and told him that if he found any changes in Han Xin, he must take it down immediately.

Because of this, the local government in Huaiyin kept a close eye on Han Xin. Coincidentally, it was none other than the little person in Huaiyin who once admired Han Xin and made a mark in the history books—his wife refused to give it to him. Han Xin was the head of the Nanchang Pavilion who prepared the meals.

It is difficult to say that it is difficult to keep a close eye on a person, but it is also easy to say. The head of the pavilion in Nanchang thinks it is very easy, because Han Xin is not only a well-known figure in Huaiyin, but also very tall and easy to identify. In addition, Han Xin After returning to Huaiyin, he directly moved back to his dilapidated old house without any concealment. It was very easy to spy secretly, so the head of the pavilion in Nanchang just greeted Han Xin's left and right neighbors, and asked his subordinates to help him. Pay attention to Han Xin's daily behavior from time to time. Even if the task is basically completed, there has been no mistake.

But on the first day of November of this year, the head of the pavilion in Nanchang realized that he had made a big mistake. This morning, he had just finished the simple breakfast cooked by the yellow-faced woman, when a soldier rushed to him. In front of him, he yelled loudly: "Brother, something happened. Someone came to report just now, saying that the child under Han Xin's crotch disappeared. I don't know where he went!"

"The child under the crotch is missing?" Nanchang Tingting Chief was taken aback for a while, and then quickly asked: "Who reported it? When did he disappear?"

"It's the corporal leader of the crotch boy!" Ting Zu hurriedly replied, "It is said that yesterday before dark, I saw him come home from fishing by the river, but this morning I didn't see him go out, nor did I see him making a fire at home. , went to his house and knocked on the door to check the situation, and then found that he was gone!"

"Fuck! This crotch kid wants to kill his father!"

After a roar, the chief of the Nanchang Pavilion, who was seriously dereliction of duty, did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly led several pavilion chiefs to the scene to check the situation. However, after careful inquiries at the scene, the chief of the Nanchang Pavilion, who had quite a lot of experience in burglary arrests, could only confirm Han Xin should have disappeared in the middle of the night yesterday, but there was no clue where he went. The head of the pavilion in Nanchang was also sweating profusely, as if he had heard the sound of the prison door closing in Huaiyin Prison.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a road. After searching carefully in Han Xin's dilapidated old house, a pavilion soldier suddenly found a letter written in white silk in Han Xin's pajamas. , and was extremely shocked to find that this letter turned out to be a solicitation letter written by Hengshan King Wu Rui to Han Xin, inviting Han Xin to work for him in Hengshan Kingdom with a very sincere tone, and promised to treat Han Xin favorably.

Shocked, the head of the Nanchang Pavilion also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent people to the south to hunt down Han Xin, and at the same time took the letter to the Huaiyin official temple to plead guilty. The head of the pavilion in Nanchang scolded him bloody, and while dispatching a lot of manpower to the south to hunt down Han Xin, he also clearly explained that he must send people to chase him no matter whether it is a road or a small road, and Han Xin must not be allowed to escape from Huaiyin County.

In addition, the Huaiyin county magistrate of course had to write the matter into a document. Together with the letter written by Wu Rui to Han Xin, he sent someone to Pengcheng on a fast horse to report this important situation to Chu Xiang, who is currently in charge of military and political affairs in Chu.

It’s still no coincidence that the Prime Minister of Chu who now presides over the military and political affairs of Chu for Xiang Kang’s son is none other than Han Xin, the first boss he met when he went to join the army with an old sword, the former head of Shiling Pavilion in Xiaxiang County—— —Feng Zhong.

As for why Feng Zhong appeared in the position of Prime Minister of Chu, the reason is also very simple. Chu has a vast territory, a large population, and great potential for war. Of course, Xiang Kang had to send his most trusted person to guard the important place.

More than two days later, the Huaiyin urgent report was sent to Feng Zhong. Feng Zhong, who learned that Han Xin had escaped and had many grievances with Han Xin, was of course both pity and angry, and his mood was extremely complicated. Of course, Feng Zhong did not dare to neglect the important matter, and immediately ordered: "Immediately reply to the county magistrate of Huaiyin, telling him to bring Han Xin back to the truth, otherwise, the law of the country will be hard to forgive!"

The official in the hall agreed, and immediately drew up a pen for Feng Zhong to draw up an order. On the other side, Sun Gong, an important minister of Chu State, reminded: "Xiangguo, this matter is also related to Hengshan King Wu Rui. We'd better report this situation to the court immediately. , please His Majesty the Emperor personally handle it."

Feng Zhong nodded, and asked someone to write for him, and reported the matter to Xiang Kang. However, when the official in the hall was writing the memorial in a hurry, Feng Zhong was moved again, and hurriedly picked up the solicitation written by Wu Rui to Han Xin. After re-reading the letter, Feng Zhong suddenly blurted out again after a while: "No, this is not right."

"Xiangguo, what's wrong there?" Sun Gong, Zhou Zeng's former deputy in the prime minister, asked hurriedly.

"This letter is wrong." Feng Zhong frowned and said: "I know Han Xin too well. It should be destroyed, why did you leave this letter and let us know his whereabouts?"

"Maybe he forgot for a while?" Sun Gong raised this possibility.

"He will never forget." Feng Zhong shook his head resolutely, and said: "This man pays more attention to details than anyone else, especially all kinds of subtle clues, and will never make such a big mistake. Also, people from Huaiyin It is very clear that this letter was found in Han Xin's house. If he wants to destroy this letter, he only needs to throw the letter into the fire. He also has time to do so, let alone forget it. Destroy this letter!"

"Could it be that Xiangguo wants to say that this letter was deliberately left by that man Han Xin?" Sun Gong understood Feng Zhong's meaning and said, "The purpose is to lure us to chase south, to the road leading to Hengshan Kingdom. Road chase, he took the opportunity to escape from other directions?"

"Ninety-nine percent are like this." Feng Zhong replied very confidently: "This has always been his specialty."

"In the opinion of Xiangguo, where is this man most likely to escape?" Sun Gong hurriedly asked again.

"It's impossible to go to the west or southwest. Since this man deliberately made us think that he is going to Hengshan country, he will definitely not go to Hengshan country." Said: "The east is impossible, the east is the sea, and it is useless for him to go. The northwest is also impossible, and the northwest is our territory. The most likely ones should be the southeast of Fujian, Yue and Wu, and the north. Yandi and the Xiongnu, and most likely fled north."

"Yandi and the Xiongnu?" Sun Gong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The prime minister suspects that Han Xin might go to join the Xiongnu?"

Feng Zhong nodded slowly, and said: "He is too unwilling to be under others. When he was in my tent before, I treated him like a brother, but because I can't give him anything in the position of military power, he said Everything has to leave my side and go to another branch. Later, I recommended him to the former King of Western Chu, because the King of Western Chu did not reuse him, so he went to vote for Liu Ji who was willing to reuse him. A restless man like him People, since they fled quietly, they must be looking for other tall branches to cling to, and there are no such tall branches in the south, so I suspect that he is most likely going north."

"Then let's not waste time." Sun Gong hurriedly said again: "Hurry up and send people to the northern counties of Huaiyin, and tell them to seal off the roads, and we must not let this man really escape to the border of the Xiongnu."

Feng Zhong didn't agree immediately, but after thinking for a while, Feng Zhong also said: "Sun Jiaxiang, you have served as the governor of Donghai County for a long time, and you should be very clear about the situation in Donghai County. The land is sparsely populated and there are many paths. If the roads are strictly guarded, it will not only take time and effort, but also our manpower will be difficult to control. It must be very difficult to catch Han Xin by blocking every road, and if there is a slight mistake, he may escape. "

"Then what should we do?" Sun Gong hurriedly asked again.

Feng Zhong continued to think about it, and after a long time, he ordered: "Give orders to five places, Tan County, Qu County, Fuyang, Zou County, and Lu County, and tell them to strengthen the investigation of passing pedestrians immediately after receiving the order. No matter what their origins or identities, as long as they are taller than eight feet (ancient chi, about 1.7 meters nine), they will all be detained on the spot and strictly interrogated, and if any abnormalities are found, they will be immediately sent to Pengcheng to be personally screened by the truth."

"As for other places." Feng Zhong added: "Don't bother with it, and don't post pictures and offer rewards for arrest. We want Han Xin to think that we have been fooled by him and only pay attention to the south of Huaiyin."

"Xiangguo wants to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and only rush to intercept people on the road?" Sun Gong immediately understood Feng Zhong's meaning again.

Feng Zhong nodded, and said: "No matter how much he disguises himself, or even tries to disfigure his face and change his voice, he will never change his height. As long as we use this point to fight against the Shevna people in traffic, we will definitely have the hope of arresting him. "

After all, Feng Zhong, who has improved a lot, quickly added: "Also, remember to explain in the document that the guards and booth chiefs in these places should keep an eye on Chi Dao for the truth, and don't be scared because the people on Chi Dao are too conspicuous." Take it lightly, Han Xinpifu is the best at taking surprises, we must prevent him from deliberately walking on the road to confuse places."

The document issued in the honor of Prime Minister Chu was sent out quickly, and it took only a little more than a day to send it to Tancheng, the county seat of the East China Sea. Then, by coincidence, in the evening of the same day, a tall man with acne all over his face , came to the guest house in the southern suburb of Tancheng, because he had the official biography issued by the Yan State in his hand, and because the law was relaxed after the war, this tall man lived in the guest house very smoothly, in the southern suburb of Tancheng. Good life rested for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, the tall man bid farewell to the owner of the inn and continued northward to return to Yandi. There were various government notices outside the gate of the pavilion, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, the tall man with a rash covered his face smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "As expected, there is no notice to arrest me."

When the tall man was secretly proud of himself, a man in simple leather armor rushed out of the pavilion and shouted at the guards outside the pavilion: "I just received the order from above, from now on. From now on, any man with a height of eight feet who passes by here will be taken down by Nai Weng for careful interrogation, and if there is anything suspicious in the question, Nai Weng will arrest him and treat him to prison!"

"promise!"

A few soldiers outside the pavilion sang promises loudly, and the tall man's face changed, and he hurried forward. Who would have thought that the man in the simple leather armor had noticed him, and first said strangely, "Why is there someone here?" One?Then he hurriedly shouted at the tall man: "Stop! Where did you come from? Where are you going? Take out the pass?"

The tall man subconsciously paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and sighed. After opening his eyes, the tall man didn't hesitate, and immediately ran wildly. Shouting, "Stop! Stop! Stop for Nai Weng!"

Fortunately, Han Xin was tall and tall, and he had developed good physical fitness in his military life for many years. He ran wildly, and finally got rid of those who were chasing the pavilion soldiers on foot. The pavilion leader who first spotted Han Xin before, Riding on the only horse in the pavilion, he succeeded in catching up with Han Xin, but Han Xin turned around and grabbed the bronze dagger he stabbed at Han Xin from behind. After pulling off his horse, Han Xin seized his horse and rode on his horse and fled to the east towards Qu County.

Although Han Xin, who had changed his appearance by special means, was not able to be taken down in one fell swoop, it was enough. After discovering that Han Xin's pavilion reported the news to Tan County, the Han Army in Tan County immediately sent a team of cavalry to chase after them. Quickly contacted Qu County and asked Qu County to help stop and chase. After receiving Feng Zhong's order, Qu County had already made some preparations and confirmed that the suspect might have escaped to Qu County. The county guards did not dare to be negligent. In addition to strictly guarding the roads, they immediately sent people to contact the Qi State Ganyu garrison in the north, and asked them to help intercept and search, so the only choice left for Han Xin was to turn around. Go south, or turn north into the Yimeng Mountains on the way.

Out of survival instinct, Han Xin subconsciously chose to go north into the Yimeng Mountains, and then fled into the deep mountains and old forests. After a while of shock, Han Xin settled down to analyze why he was discovered. The result was just a little calculation. Han Xin patted his forehead in remorse, and said helplessly, "How did I forget that bastard? That bastard has been with me for so many years, but he still doesn't know my temper? My voice can deceive others, how come?" Maybe I can fool him? My height characteristics are not known to others, how can he not know?"

After repenting, he looked up at the Yimeng mountain area where the branches and leaves had withered. Han Xin couldn't help smiling bitterly on his face, and said to himself: "Okay, let's not talk about whether we can escape, even if we can, when I get to Yan In the country, the winter that is most suitable for Zang Tu to raise troops must have passed."

Han Xin may not be able to reach Yandi in his whole life, because after his situation was reported to his old boss Feng Zhong, Feng Zhong didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately ordered: "Go to Wen and contact Qi Xiang Zhujishi , ask him to set up strict defenses in Qidi, but anyone who is over eight feet tall and has skin sores on his face will be interrogated! I don’t believe it, the skin sores painted on his face with raw lacquer can be cured in two or three It will grow back within a month."

"Xiangguo, how do you know that the sores on Han Xin's face were painted with raw lacquer?" A clerk present asked curiously.

"It was the man who committed suicide and told me himself." Feng Zhong said with a smirk, "When he was serving as my personal soldier, he once chatted with me and told me the story of Yu Rang, the famous assassin of the Jin Kingdom. Assassinated a man named Zhao, painted his body with raw lacquer to develop skin sores, and swallowed hot charcoal to change his voice. When he told this story, he still looked very yearning, as if he wanted to emulate. That's why I heard about it. Now he has leprosy on his face, I knew it was painted with raw lacquer!"
