Competing

Chapter 498

"Mr. Guangwu, is this suicide, cowardice, or foolish loyalty?"

When Li Zuoche was about to slay himself with a horizontal sword, the feathered arrow flew through the air, and the long sword in his hand was knocked away with great force.Li Zuoche was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect such a situation to happen.Is it so difficult to repay Zhao Guodu with one death?Who is going to stop himself?A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, so don't you think you can die for your country if you want to?

Looking up into the distance, Li Zuoche saw a young but extraordinary man riding a horse in the distance, surrounded by many guards, the majestic formation showed that his identity was extraordinary.Of course, these are nothing, and the symbol of his identity should be the big banner behind him.Something shocking and awe-inspiring at the Grand River logo.The banner belonging to Han Xin, Generalissimo of the Han Army.

Han Xin hadn't come close yet, but the shouts full of spirit had already sounded.After seeing the battle between Li Zuoche and Zhang Er just now, he knew that the matter was rather difficult, and Zhang Er might find it difficult to handle it properly.And if you want to subdue Li Zuoche, you have to come forward yourself.That's why he rushed over in a hurry, but unexpectedly arrived in time, Li Zuoche actually wanted to kill himself with a horizontal sword.

Wouldn't it be a pity that such a rare talent died in vain like this. Fortunately, among the personal guards around Han Xin, there were a few people with outstanding archery skills, and they flew arrows to save people under Han Xin's instruction.At the same time, I had a new understanding of Li Zuoche in my heart. This person chose to kill himself at this time, naturally not because of cowardice and fear, but more because of his loyalty and perseverance to Zhao Guo.To put it bluntly, it is foolish loyalty, although Han Xin disdains it.But at the same time, he also saw an opportunity, as long as he could subdue Li Zuoche in a way, he would always be loyal to him in the future.Therefore, it is even more important to seize the opportunity, and it is best to surrender Li Zuoche in one fell swoop and let him use it for himself.

When Zhang Er turned around and looked over, he felt relieved.Marshal Han came by himself, then everything is easy to handle, at least he doesn't need to be embarrassed and frightened.At the same time, it can be seen how much Han Xin attaches importance to Li Zuoche.As for whether the persuasion can be successful, let's wait and see!
"Han Xin?"

Li Zuoche looked at the young people slowly coming under the big banner. It was rumored that Mingxiu plank road secretly crossed Chencang and left Bashu, fought against Zhanghan, wiped out Weibao, and turned Han from a barren land in the southwest into one of the best in the world. Marshal of the Han army of the great princes-Han Xin.Young, really young, this was Li Zuoche's first impression when he saw Han Xin, but at the age of [-], he was able to command such a large-scale Han army, conquer east and west, and become the right-hand man of Liu Bang of the Han army.The most important thing is his courage and approach, which have deeply affected the world war situation.

It's really a hero out of a boy. Although Li Zuoche is not very old, he was still shocked by Han Xin's youth and promise.Perhaps the only ones who can be compared with it in this world are Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Yin Xu, the king of Yue.The second impression is that he has an extraordinary bearing. Han Xin's self-confidence and gentleness but unfathomable feeling is really unpredictable.A pair of heroic eyes revealed a sense of confidence and courage. A marshal who dared to take such a big risk must have extraordinary courage.In particular, the practice of fighting to the death is similar to Xiang Yu's last year.

But there are not many people in the world who really dare to do this. It can be seen that the success of Xiang Yu, Han Xin and others also has its special features.

But there is one thing that Li Zuoche quite resonated with. He found similarities with himself in Han Xin.That is to a certain extent, they can all be called Confucian generals, and their elegant and leisurely demeanor reveals firmness and calmness.He has always admired Han Xin's many achievements, and he has a kind of reverence in his heart, or the mentality of heroes cherishing heroes.If it is not in hostility, it is naturally best to sit together and have a drink and talk.

But...the first meeting between the two was actually under such circumstances, Li Zuoche felt a little complicated and heavy in his heart.Especially when hearing Han Xin's questioning, the whole person was shocked and stood there blankly.As for the long sword in his hand, it was shaken down by the feather arrow that pierced through the air, and his entire arm was still numb as if in a mood.

"Mr. Guangwu!"

After Han Xin rode his horse closer, he shouted softly!After walking in, Li Zuoche was quite satisfied with him in terms of appearance and demeanor.Now it depends on how to communicate and whether he can be persuaded. Of course, a lot of external factors may need to be added.

"Marshal!" Zhang Er turned around and left after coming to greet him. He was very sensible and knew that everything was handled by Han Xin himself, and he didn't need to talk too much here!As for Li Zuoche... Zhang Er turned his head and glanced at the descendant of Zhao's famous general, quite sympathetic.It is a pity for a hero to be submerged in the loess for no reason.As for his fate, it is up to him now!
"Marshal Han!"

Li Zuoche had already recovered at this time, although he was now in a hostile state, the basic etiquette and bearing were natural.

Han Xin smiled and said: "What is Guangwu Lord doing?" Han Xin mentioned this matter again, the first thing to do is to persuade Li Zuoche to let him get rid of the will to die in his heart.

Li Zuoche had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "This is the end of the matter, Zhao Guo has already been defeated and ceased to exist. Li Zuoche is incapable of defending the country, so it is always possible to serve the country with his own body!"

Han Xin shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Guangwu is modest, but I know it's not that Mr. Guangwu is incompetent. I can only say that Zhao Wangxie is incompetent and confused! The Han army came from afar, and the food and grass must fall behind. The terrain is narrow, so if we lead 3 horses to detour to intercept the Han army's retreat, and attack from both sides, we will certainly be able to persuade the Han army."

Li Zuoche's heart was shocked again, he raised his head and looked at Han Xin lightly, to see what the young Marshal wanted to do!
Han Xin clapped his hands and said: "Such a clever plan really scares me. If King Zhao followed Guangwu Lord's plan, I really don't know what to do. I didn't expect Zhao Wangxie to refuse for some reason. Adoption, one of the reasons is to be afraid of the general's power and prestige, right? If you add some military merits, you will have a high merit. If you think about it carefully, Zhao Wangxie may love Lord Guangwu. None of the ministers of Gao Zhenzhu had a good end!

Of course, there may be Chen Yu's handwriting in it!As for what he thinks, Mr. Guangwu must know it well, so I won't say much about it! "

Li Zuoche's heart was shocked, these were all things that happened between himself and Zhao Wangxie and others, how could Han Xin know?In such a short period of time, the battlefield was still chaotic, and it was impossible to talk about the interrogation of prisoners.Han Xin actually knew these things in such detail, that is to say, he had already planted someone in the Zhao army before that.At the same time, he knows a lot about the affairs between Zhao Guojun and his ministers. I think these should come from Zhang Er's mouth!

Now it further confirms his previous conjecture. Han Xin definitely did not rescue Changshan King Zhang Er for no reason. This was the beginning of his dealing with Zhao Guo.It's a pity that Zhao Wangxie, Chen Yu and others didn't take it seriously at first, and didn't pay enough attention at all.When things come to this, one of the most important reasons why the Han army was able to win a big victory is that they really know themselves and the enemy.

Li Zuoche smiled wryly, "I didn't expect Marshal Han to know such details, no wonder..."

"No wonder what?" Han Xin smiled softly: "It's just some luck. I was sweating a lot when I took the risk to send troops before. Fortunately, Zhao Wangxie really didn't live up to it, and he was determined to give up his country. to others!"

Li Zuoche knew very well in his heart that what Han Xin said was the truth, if Zhao Wangxie hadn't been stupid, the matter would not have come to this point.But now it's useless to say these things, and as a subject, even if the Lord is really at fault, it's not good to talk about it behind his back.

It was just a long sigh of helplessness, this was Li Zuoche's most confidant expression of the helplessness in his heart!

"Why sigh?" Han Xin said softly.

Li Zuoxiang: "There are always many helplessness in life..."

"Then who is Lord Guangwu sighing for? For whom are you helpless?" Han Xin asked softly.

Li Zuoche's expression froze slightly, and he was a little speechless. Han Xin's question had touched the depths of his heart.

"Is it for the country of Zhao?" Seeing that Li Zuoche was silent, Han Xin smiled and said, "If it was for the country of Zhao, you have done everything you should. No need to sigh."

Li Zuoche shook his head lightly, but still didn't speak.

Han Xin turned to ask: "Then you are sighing for yourself?"

Li Zuoche didn't answer, but asked, "Marshal Han, if you have anything nice to say, just say it!"

He knew that Han Xin came here for a purpose, so he asked aloud.

Han Xin smiled lightly, originally he didn't want to mention it at this time, but Li Li Zuoche asked himself, that's another matter.

Han Dao said: "General Li is full of strategy, wouldn't it be a pity to just bury him like this?" Inadvertently, the name of Li Zuoche has changed!

"A defeated general is not brave enough!" Li Zuoche said lightly, "There is nothing to regret!"

Han Xin shook his head and said, "Could it be that General Li is willing to be full of talent and learning and the glory of his ancestors?"

Li Zuoche shook his head and said: "The purpose of learning soldiers and Ma Taolue is to serve the country. Now that the Zhao Kingdom no longer exists, what is the meaning of what you have learned? Let alone the ancestors. The incompetence of the younger generations humiliated the ancestors! Only death To die for the country is to have an explanation to our ancestors!"

Han Dao said, "So General Li is determined to die?"

"Zhao Guo is no longer here, and Li Zuoche lives on in silence!"

"But King Zhao is not dead yet! You don't plan to meet again?"
