"Mr. Kuai needs to clear all the important points along the way from Henan to Jiujiang. It's not time to die yet."

Before the curfew, Kuai Tong pretended to be in a panic and ran for his life, riding his horse south and out of the city.

Ben He waited for Kuai Tong to escape a certain distance, then turned his horse's head to pursue him.

The two walked in tandem, as if Ben He was chasing his prey, until both of them left the city.

"Old man, you really know how to choose a place. This bridge is where Ziying borrowed troops to find the king at night." Ben He looked at Kuai Tong who was panting by the bridge and said with a smile.

"Ha... with the momentum the commander showed just now, I almost thought he was really going to kill me."

When Ben He heard this, his heart felt relieved, but his words showed no mercy, "As a commander, he should have the domineering spirit to pursue the enemy to death, unlike that Han Xin who chased Zi Ying all the way to the end, lost only once, and then withdrew from the Qin Dynasty.

land."

Kuai Tong was dissatisfied, "The commander only knew that the king of Wei was dead after all, but he didn't know that he attacked Qin all the way. If he hadn't helped Wei Bao, and according to the strategy of the commander-in-chief of Han and the old man, Wei Ji's attack on Qin would not have gone smoothly.

, the army in the Western Wei Dynasty would not easily threaten the Henan soldiers. Even if Commander Han was defeated, he would have no worries. Unfortunately, the worst results for both parties occurred. Wei Bao had an unobstructed journey, but Commander Han encountered a problem when he returned from Nanyang

Ziying... there is also Shen Yang in the country, so we have to evacuate."

Kuai Tong glanced at Ben He subconsciously, as if complaining about Ying Bu helping Zi Ying.

"Hahaha, old man, there is no need to complain. Your Majesty did not get any benefits from this." Ben He laughed with resentment, "If Your Majesty kills the infants in this battle and the troops leave the Aoguan Pass, the land of Qin will also return to the territory of Jiujiang. Your Majesty, it is the territory of Jiujiang."

We must first help Ziying defeat Han Xin, and then follow the Chu State to divide Qin. Alas... it is a bad thing for thieves to make plans."

Kuai Tong secretly laughed at Ben He for pretending to be smart but did not know Ying Bu's brilliance and did not tell him the deeper meaning.

"Tell me, old man. What does Han Xin want? Where does this high-ranking official come from?" Ben He asked.

"It's quite simple." Kuai Tong said calmly, "According to Han Datong's strategy, after Xiang Yu is tied, the next step is either Jiujiang or Chen Yu. At this moment, it seems that Chen Yu will be the first. If he attacks Jiujiang later, he will

Across Henan is Hengshan. Xiang Yu will not touch those Baiyue people rashly, so Henan and Jiujiang are at war with each other."

"Stop talking nonsense, how can I help you, commander?" Ben He asked anxiously.

"I'm just letting the commander know the pros and cons." Kuai Tong said with a smile, "Commander Han needs to recruit troops from Jiujiang."

"What?!" Ben He said in shock, and gradually laughed in anger, "This commander has only heard of borrowing troops, but Han Xin really dares to think about recruiting troops from other countries."

If we borrow troops, Henan will owe Jiujiang a favor. Conscription is simply an offense to the king of a country.

"General Han has thought about borrowing troops, but with the prestige of the King of Jiujiang in Linjiang, he may not be able to recruit troops. Even if he joins, he will be dissatisfied. In the end, it will not be good for Jiujiang or Henan. The Qin soldiers of the King of Jiujiang

Nor will it be borrowed easily, this is the best way."

Ben He thought for a moment and felt that this statement made sense. The people in Linjiang could not stand the way they behaved in Jiujiang, and they were happy to follow other countries. But he seemed to have no role in it, and he would have no official salary without merit.

Kuai Tong's eyes moved slightly, and he saw through Ben He's thoughts, "Although Commander Han is good at strategizing, he still needs a lot of troops to fight against Xiang Yu. It will definitely arouse the suspicion of the King of Jiujiang. Since Commander Ben He is a close official of the King of Jiujiang, if he can

It would be a great achievement to take advantage of its decline and prevent it from noticing any changes in the country."

"Oh, this is quite simple." Ben He suddenly understood and nodded, "Wait a minute, old man, you already know the name of my commander?!"

"This is natural." Kuai Tong narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"You're not an old fool."

"Think everything before you act. I survived the catastrophe in Qin and dared to enter the territory of the King of Jiujiang alone. I came prepared."

"Oh? You are so thoughtful." Ben He's bright smile then disappeared, and he suddenly approached Kuai Tong with his horse, full of murderous intent, "By doing this, even if Han Xin loses, he can take advantage of the emptiness in Nanyang County and attack Nanyang instead.

There is a way out, right?!"

"Ah? This..." Kuai Tong was shocked. He didn't expect that this person who didn't understand the overall situation would be so shrewd when it came to matters related to him.

"Xiang Yu attacked Jiujiang because the king did not send troops to follow Ping Qi, and then moved to Linjiang rashly. After recruiting troops, Han Xinruo did not become an enemy of the Chu State, but used his identity as a halberd bearer for the Chu State to destroy Jiujiang. Xiang Yu

With his temper, he will reward Han Xin generously. At that time, this commander and the king will become Han Xin’s stepping stones! Right?!"

"This... Commander Ben He is only half right." Kuai Tong said clearly, "Ying Bu can even kill his wife, but now he is unpopular. It is inevitable that other countries will easily destroy him in the future, and Commander Ben He will also suffer the consequences.

.It is better to find a way out for yourself today."

"I have said that I will never betray the King of Jiujiang!"

Ben He grabbed Kuai Tong's lapel, lifted him away from the horse, and kicked the horse's belly, completely leaving Kuai Tong hanging in the air.

"All the counselors in the world are bullshit and only know how to plot and scheme. Although the king is a big thief, Bill and others are much stronger!" Ben He roared, veins popping up on his forehead.

Kuai Tong's mouth was drooling. He opened his mouth but could not speak, and his eyes rolled up unconsciously.

"My life's plan is going to die in the hands of a reckless man?!" Kuai Tong was unwilling to accept it.

Whoosh——

The sound of bows and arrows piercing the air came from Ben He's side, and he quickly let go of Kuai Tong and ducked to avoid it.

Kuai Tong was thrown heavily to the ground. Regardless of the pain, he covered his throat with his hands and stared, gasping for air.

Ben He was furious, turned his horse's head and was about to attack, but he was worried that he had no bow and arrows, so he could only run away.

"Isn't it inappropriate for Commander Ben He to leave before the big event is decided?" A tall man from the other side of the bridge came on horseback and threw away his bow and arrow when he reached the bridge.

Ben He breathed a sigh of relief and was not afraid of the immediate confrontation.

"How dare you sneak attack!"

Without any explanation, Ben He rode his horse onto the bridge and rushed towards him. The man had stopped. Ben He wanted to use his horse's speed to catch him off guard and kill him with one blow.

The man on the bridge slowly drew his sword, and Ben He rushed in front of him.

"Shit! It's too late!"

Ben He swung his long sword away fiercely. Even if the man drew his sword and faced it, he would be knocked down by the momentum of the horse.

"Reckless man!"

The man chuckled lightly, holding the long sword in his hand. He leaned over and pulled Ben He's reins, and with a smooth movement, his whole body was pressed against the side of the other horse from the horse's back.

"Look at the sword!" Ben He shouted, twisting the sword head and stabbing it downwards.

The powerful thrust failed, and the man walked around the horse's belly to the other side. He lifted his waist, jumped onto the horse's back, and sat firmly behind Ben He.

Ben He froze on the spot. Under the moonlight, the man's sword was already across his throat.

"It seems that you don't know how to ride a horse. Do you want to try dismounting with me?" the man said with a smile.

"No...it's not necessary." In one day, two people touched his throat with swords, and Ben Hepburn's overwhelming anger was completely dispelled by fear.

"May I ask your name..." Ben He said tremblingly.

"Chen Liu Li Shang is now a subordinate of Han Datong." The man said calmly.

"Ha..." Ben He smiled bitterly, "So that old man didn't come alone."

"Your Excellency is wrong. After Mr. Kuai disappeared, I went to Nanyang to look for him. If Mr. Kuai escapes Qin and does not return to Henan, he will have no choice but to come here." Li Shang said.

"You are really lucky. If you still follow Liu Bang, or King Bao of Wei will be killed by Zi Ying." Ben He felt unwilling.

Li Shang didn't take it seriously and slowly drew away his long sword, "Although Commander-in-Chief Han is defeated now, if there is a war in Jiujiang, what are the chances of Yingbu winning? Can you escape from the battle unscathed?"

"The people in Linjiang don't like your Majesty...the chances of winning are extremely slim." Ben He said weakly.

"I will give Commander Ben He one last chance to deal with Mr. Kuai Tong..."

"I'll do it!" Ben He replied, "I'll start on this tomorrow!"

Li Shang smiled calmly, moved his body, put away his sword and changed his horse in one go, and sat down again in front of Ben He.

"If Commander Ben He is a smart man, he will not have any ulterior motives. He will not treat the commander harshly in terms of the number of soldiers, officials, and salary." Li Shang said calmly, "Go back, and we will send someone to you within seven days.

As long as Henan responds, cooperation will not last long if you are uneasy."

"Yes..." Ben He turned his horse around and almost fell into the water. He wiped the sweat from his neck and returned north.

Li Shangxing came to Kuai Tong's side and stretched out his hand to pull him onto the horse's back.

"Mr. Kuai needs to clear all the key points along the way from Henan to Jiujiang. It's not time to die yet," Li Shang said.

"Thank you... Commander Li, please help me, otherwise I will die here." Kuai Tong was worried.

"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Ben He left the city recklessly and returned uneasily. Even if Ying Bu was not suspicious, Ben He had a plan in his heart. If there is a gap in life, even the loyal ministers will gradually have different intentions."

"Heh...that old guy said the same thing."

...

The horses galloped forward, and for two days a thin layer of snow fell like rain in the south.

Ziying and four people from the north underestimated the chill in the south and hid in an inn as soon as they arrived in Liucheng.

Ji Han covered himself with the quilt and opened his mouth to breathe in the cold air, causing Zhao Ping and Zhang Ao beside him to roll their eyes at each other from time to time.

The aristocrats of Hancheng in the past were like children who had not experienced much of the world, and Ziying's depressed mood was temporarily dispelled.

"Wu Rui could not move, but now he easily captured the entire six cities. This should not be underestimated." Zhao Ping, who was wearing the same quilt as Zhang Ao, said.

"It's just that Yingbu is unable to govern the country and recruits people from Baiyue. I'm afraid the people in the city are rushing to open the city gate to let Wu Rui invade." Ziying explained, reaching out to grab Ji Han's quilt.

"Yingbu is hiding in Nanyang and Wu Rui may not be long in Liucheng. Your Majesty, please go see Wu Rui as soon as possible." Ji Han said urgently.

"Meet him?!" Ziying sneered in his heart, "As an old minister of the Qin Dynasty, he should only meet the few people."
