Chapter 218 The King of Han plays me
Lishiqi is located in Gaoyang County, about thirty miles southwest of Yongqiu.
The scale is not large and the distance is not far, but the scouts still have one day to investigate Li Shiqi's affairs.
Xiao He still had Liu Bang in his heart, Wang Buxian could feel this.
But Wang Buxu also felt that Xiao He's determination was crumbling bit by bit.
As his understanding of the Han Dynasty deepened, Xiao He became more and more convinced that they could not achieve results.
"Your Majesty, besides being a bit arrogant and not very popular, Li Shiqi did not secretly obstruct the royal court's decree. On the contrary, he played a certain role in promoting it." The next night, Zhang Buyi informed the situation.
The king is not hungry anymore.
"How is it boosted?" Wang Buxian was curious.
"He just explains the king's decrees. With his character, he will definitely not stay at home by himself. The more people listen, the more people will spread the word. The more people spread the word, the more people will believe it.
However, in the end, nothing happened to him as the client. It is said that Li Shiqihao was angry for a while because of this incident..." Zhang Buyi said with a smile.
Thinking about it, Li Shiqi almost tried his best to get himself into the sight of the King of Han.
But the result was astonishing, and even he himself didn't expect it.
Although he had helped a lot, in the end the rumors had nothing to do with him.
The government is currently short of people and too busy. If it encounters bad rumors, it may investigate them, but only fools would bother with such rumors that are beneficial to the government's implementation of administrative orders.
Then, Li Shiqi, who was waiting to be recommended, rushed to nothing, and his work was in vain.
Finally, in desperation, he heard that a soldier from the Forbidden Army had returned from his hometown. Li Shiqi inquired about it and found out that the Forbidden Army was actually the personal guard of the King of Han.
Only then did we find the soldier, and after some talking, he agreed to help deliver the message.
Li Shiqi is a smart man, and he is also a man of great wisdom.
The reason why he didn't move before was because he saw that Chen Sheng could not last long. Li Shiqi, who had liked to observe the affairs of various countries since he was a child, naturally selected a few outstanding targets.
Before Wang Buxu became king, Li Shiqi put him in second place. The first place was naturally the Xiang family.
Wu Xinjun is very good in both civil and martial arts. If there is a chance, I will naturally choose him.
But they have already become famous, so if you join them now, you may not be able to gain attention.
The waiting king was not hungry, but he never went eastward. When he came back, he was the king of Han.
At this time, Li Shiqi also ranked Wang Buxu first, and Wu Xinjun Xiang Liang, whom he had previously been very optimistic about, ranked second.
There was no other reason than that the Han army was too strong. Even at the expense of his own life, Li Shiqi realized the profound meaning of the Han government's decree.
The reason why Wu Xinjun was placed second was simply because Li Shiqi felt that Xiang Liang was a person. If it were another person, there would be no second option in Li Shiqi's ranking.
But the current general trend of the world no longer allows Li Shiqi to wait and see.
He is over sixty years old and has few years left to live.
The Han army is now so strong that it is difficult for the Chu army to be his opponent.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Li Shiqi sent people to prepare things overnight, and at dawn the next day, he took a car to Yongqiu.
Although he felt that he was a talented person, he was still far from being able to be welcomed by the King of Han in person.
At this time, Wang Buxu was standing in the lobby with a huge map in front of him.
This was made overnight yesterday.
It clearly lists every county in Chu State, including important information such as the number of troops.
On the map, there are also several vertical flags wrapped in red cloth. These vertical flags represent the Han army.
Seeing Li Shiqi coming, Wang Buxin did not take the initiative to ask questions.
Instead, he turned to Xiao He and said, "Xiao Xiang, how long do you think this Chu army will last?"
"Based on the situation, it should only take a few months, but Chu State has many generals who are good at fighting. These people will be a surprise." Xiao He responded speechlessly.
"Does Prime Minister Xiao think Gu's generals are not as good as Chu's generals?" Wang Buxu squinted his eyes slightly.
Your Han army is not bad at all now, right?
Han Xin, Guan Ying, Wang Li, plus Zhang Han, which one of these four is worse?
The Chu army had many generals who could fight, but the problem was that in history, almost all of these generals from Chu State eventually defected to Liu Bang.
Since historically they would defect, what about now?
Who dares to pat their chests and guarantee that they will not choose the Han army?
"I just want to remind the king not to be careless..." Xiao He rolled his eyes, feeling shocked in his heart when faced with Wang Buxu's actions.
"Why does Prime Minister Xiao feel so careless?" Wang Buxu continued to ask.
If he hadn't known that Wang Buxu was acting, Xiao He would have really wanted to bite him and bite him hard.
Xiao He felt that Wang Buxuan was completely insulting his IQ, and he didn't want to accompany him in the show anymore.
He pointed at Li Shiqi, who had been standing in the lobby for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the map in front of you is the most secret thing of the Han army. Now there is an outsider standing in the lobby, and you don't shy away from it at all.
Isn’t it careless?”
"Oh~~~ Are there any outsiders?" Wang Buxu pretended to be calm, then looked at Li Shiqi belatedly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Shiqi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he was wronged.
It was obviously you who summoned me, but now that I'm here, I haven't said a word. Instead, I've made myself miserable first?
If you are really executed like this, where can I go to reason with you?
Li Shiqi used his brain at full capacity to think about how to save himself. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said quickly: "I am devoted to the king. I came here to seek refuge with the king. How can I be considered as such now?"
What about outsiders? In addition, as Xiao Xiang said before, there are many generals in Chu who are good at conquering and fighting. I feel that the king does not need to worry about this at all. Although I have no other abilities, I happen to have an eloquent mouth. I am willing to represent him.
The king sent an envoy to the Chu State to persuade the generals of the Chu State to surrender and serve the king..."
After all, he is a talkative person. If he can't even say a word, it will be so wrong. How aggrieved would it be if he went underground?
"Oh?" Wang Buxu looked at Li Shiqi with feigned surprise and asked, "I wonder which general of the Chu Kingdom Mr. Li is confident of persuading to surrender?"
"I am sure which general of the Chu State I can persuade to surrender is not just what I say, but which general of the Chu State the king needs most, so I will try my best to persuade that general to surrender." Li Shiqi said.
His eyes glanced at Wang Buhung from time to time, as if asking, do you still want to kill me now?
Look, the person standing in front of you is a talent. I will persuade anyone you need to surrender. Isn't this a talent?
Of course, this alone is not enough. Then you will be just a lobbyist at best.
Li Shiqi continued: "I heard that Sima Yan, the old general of Zhao State, controls part of Hanoi County. Although General Wang can go south, Sima Yan is a hidden danger after all. The king might as well ask his ministers to persuade Sima Yan to surrender and ensure the stability of the north.
