Competing

Chapter 399 Chapter [-]
When to be enshrined and enthroned is a crucial issue. No matter how good the promise is, what good is it if it cannot be fulfilled?
Lu Zhi knew that the other party was moved, and said: "Both of you also know that this girder is the land that Xiang Yu stole, and it now belongs to the Western Chu Kingdom in name. If Xiang Yu is undefeated, there will be a fierce battle when he returns to his teacher to fight for it in the future. If we have Pengcheng as the front line to stop the Western Chu army, if we can completely defeat Xiang Yu, the general will feel more at ease, right?"

Peng Yue smiled in his heart, Liu Bang was able to give such a great benefit, he must have something to ask for, besides Peng Cheng, is there anything else?

Lu Zhi continued: "Xiang Yu killed Emperor Yi and did such unrighteous things, and was accused by the people of the world. If the general is deceived by him, his reputation and reputation will not be good."

Peng Yue said with a smile: "That's natural. Peng Yue is thinking of uniting with the King of Han and many princes to attack Xiang Yu together? Please also ask Madam to go back and tell the King of Han to come and garrison Pengcheng together. It's just..."

Lu Zhi knew that what he said was unsubstantiated, how could he convince Peng Yue without any evidence?

Lu Zhi nodded: "Thank you, General, for understanding the righteousness. Now that the major event has not been accomplished, it is not a good time to announce the news. After the King of Han comes to Pengcheng to defeat Xiang Yu, it will be the time for the General to ascend the throne. At that time, the major event has been decided, and the General will also set up the throne." Great merit, more convincing to the public." As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his bosom, which stated that Peng Yue was to be canonized King of Liang.

Peng Yue looked at the words on it and the cinnabar seal of the King of Han, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He also knew that this matter should not be rushed.

Lu Zhi handed it over and said: "General, let's take it first, and just wait until the time is right to announce it. Now the time is not yet known, and I ask the general to focus on the overall situation. It is late at night, and I will go to see a pair of sons and daughters. Tomorrow morning The general tells the world to crusade against Xiang Yu, how about I return to Daliang to play the king of Han? How about sending troops together to fight against Xiang Yu?"

Without waiting for Peng Yue's answer, Lu Zhi added: "The two children are still young. Although the King of Han is anxious to see each other, but now he is in a hurry and the horses and horses are exhausted. It is not convenient to carry them. Can you ask the general to take care of them for a few days?"

If Lu Zhi and the others told Peng Yue in a disguised form, at least there were still a pair of sons and daughters as hostages. Pity the parents of the world. She and Liu Bang would not disregard the lives of their children and play tricks on this matter.Lu Zhi is a woman with insight and intelligence, she will not miss important things for the sake of temporary gains and losses.He knew that if the Han army didn't enter Pengcheng, he wouldn't be able to save his sons and daughters, so he could only reluctantly agree to some things.

Seeing it, Chen Qingshan somewhat understood why Liu Bang sent Lu Zhi, and at the same time exclaimed: This woman is extraordinary!

At this point, Peng Yue didn't have any hesitation, and immediately nodded in agreement. A thunderstorm was brewing and would erupt at any moment.

……

Zhang Liang rushed to Daliang to discuss with Liu Bang, and while Lu Zhi went to Pengcheng to lobby Peng Yue, a 25-year-old young man left Guanzhong and went southeast along the Wuguan line.The man is not very old, but he has an extraordinary bearing, and there is an unusual heroism in his eyes.This person is none other than Han Xin, Generalissimo of the Han Dynasty.

Xiao He and Zhang Liang's original intention was to let him stay in Guanzhong to train recruits, but Han Xin missed the beauties and benefactors in his hometown and insisted on going south to visit relatives.Zhang Liang and Xiao He couldn't stop him, so they had to allow him to go south to visit his relatives.

Xiao He kept a low profile along the way, firstly because his identity was sensitive now and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.The second is that returning home is like an arrow, and I want to go back to my hometown earlier to meet the person in my dream.

When seeing the swaying Huai River again, Han Xin's mood was completely different from that of the past.Especially when looking at the city in front of me, I feel even more embarrassed, and even feel a little like a world away.

The south of the mountain and the north of the river are Yin, and the city is located on the north bank of Huaibei, hence the name Huaiyin.

Walking on the streets of Huaiyin, Han Xin couldn't help thinking of all the past, thinking that he was just an underappreciated person at the beginning.Although he has great ambitions, his talents are underappreciated.The sparrow knows the ambition of the great swan. It can be said that in Huaiyin, it can be said that it has suffered a lot of white eyes and ridicule, and even suffered humiliation from the crotch on the street. Although Han Xin is unwilling to think of that humiliating incident, the past scenes still come to mind inadvertently. , lingering.

A smile appeared on the corner of Han Xin's mouth, a little cold, a little bitter, and a little smug in the end.At the beginning, he had great ambitions and never wavered, so he endured the humiliation and survived.The purpose is to leave a useful body, so as to make a great achievement, and now more than half of it has been successful.Now that he came back here, he just wanted to tell the world that he, Han Xin, was back, famous all over the world, and returned to his hometown with honor.Tell them that they underestimated themselves back then.

When I came back today, I wanted to meet the person who was waiting so hard. When everyone looked at her coldly, she always believed that she could soar into the sky.Han Xin was thinking, if she hadn't encouraged her with warmth, how could she have such a day.And on the banks of the Huaihe River, that Piaomu, whom she had never met before, was the one who ate him with a bowl of hot soup when he was so hungry that he almost fainted.

Today I, Han Xin, came back to repay my kindness!To let them know that they were not mistaken, he, Han Xin, did it and fulfilled his original promise.

Walking on the streets in the south of the city, looking at those low-rise houses, I felt a long-lost sense of familiarity in my heart.Han Xin hesitated on the street for a long time without moving a step, maybe this is because he is more timid because of his hometown!

After a long time, Han Xin walked to the door of the somewhat dilapidated courtyard step by step.It was here at the beginning, saying goodbye to each other, making promises to each other, and then leaving separately.After being away for several years, I don't know if she is okay?

Han Xin wanted to reach out and knock on the door to give her a surprise, but when he touched it, he realized that Chai Fei was lying.Pushing open the door to enter, the soldiers stood outside the door knowingly and did not follow in.

But after a while, they saw Marshal Han, who had always been steady and calm, ran out like crazy.The yard was tidy as usual, but it was a bit too tidy. The house was empty, and the dust on the utensils was thick, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Where did she go? Is she all right?"

The arrival of Han Xin and his soldiers caused quite a commotion, and many neighbors came out to watch the excitement.I have never seen such a grandiose person in the remote market, and everyone is pointing.Why are there so many people at the door of an ordinary woman.

When Han Xin saw them, he hurried over.

"You...you are Han Xin?" An old woman looked at him and asked hesitantly. After all, she walked out from here and knew all the neighbors.

Han Xin recognized the identity of the old woman at a glance, stepped forward and respectfully said: "Aunt Chen, I am Han Xin, Han Xin is back."

"It seems that you are really promising, wearing such good clothes, and having so many followers!" Aunt Chen was flattered, the young man who claimed to have made great achievements in the past was really promising.

How could Han Xin care so much, and immediately asked: "Aunt Chen, where is Xiangning...?"

"Xiang Ning? Oh, didn't you pick her up?" Aunt Chen looked at Han Xin with some puzzlement.

"What? I picked it up?" Han Xin suddenly fell into the clouds.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Xiang Ning was seriously ill a few days ago. Some people came and said that you are developed now and become a marshal. They were sent to pick up Xiang Ning for a reunion. Thanks to their arrival, they were cured. Xiangning's soldiers took her away again."

"what?"

Aunt Chen thought for a while, and added: "By the way, there is also the drifting mother who washed clothes by the river, and she also picked her up. The villagers all said that you know how to repay your kindness!"

Han Xin's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and he couldn't believe it: "Ms. Chen, when did it happen? Do you know who came here?"

Aunt Chen was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you send him here?"

Han Xin shook his head and continued to ask questions.

Aunt Chen thought about it and recalled: "It's been a month or two. Those people don't speak with our Huaiyin accent, they sound like northerners."

Northerner?Han Xin was startled suddenly, Huaiyin is now under the rule of the Western Chu State.Could it be that Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng took Xiang Ning and Piaomu away after learning about their origins to threaten themselves?

At this moment, Aunt Chen seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, their accent is very similar to that county magistrate back then."

Han Xin remembered that the former magistrate of Huaiyin County was sent by Qin State from Guanzhong.OK!
Han Xinxin's head was shaken, and he felt extremely responsible.If I didn't take them over, I was worried that there would be such a day, but... who would have thought that it would be impossible to guard against!Han Xin felt grateful for being teased and coerced.His fists were clenched and his knuckles were rattling, showing his anger.

Amidst the sound of surprise and suspicion, he left with his own soldiers in a hurry, and went directly north via Jiujiang country. Now he had to meet them again and ask them clearly.

When he reached the territory of Jiujiang Kingdom, his mood had calmed down, and he was not as impulsive as before.He felt that it was necessary to take a long-term view on this matter and deal with it properly after figuring out the ins and outs.At the same time, a thought came to my mind, that is, I must strengthen my strength as much as possible to protect my beloved.

For the one he loves, he knows what to do.At this moment, perhaps it is better to go to Daliang or Xingyang, he thinks that is the most suitable place to wait.

Walking on the road of Jiujiang Kingdom, Han Xin was surprised to find that many soldiers were mobilizing. At first he thought it was Yingbu who was dispatching troops north to support the West Chu Kingdom.If this is the case, the situation in the Battle of Pengcheng will be even more complicated.But after a little investigation, it was discovered that the army was moving south, and the direction seemed to be a bit wrong.

It seems that the south is not peaceful either. Han Xin looked at the leaving team with a thoughtful expression on his face...

These things should not trouble him, Han Xin looked at the south and sighed, now he has no other choice.He turned around and walked northward without hesitation.
