Han Xin stood in front of the palace gate, holding Liu Chang in his arms, looking proudly towards the top of the city wall.
He saw the frightened faces on the city wall, and the trembling hands were already loading the crossbow arrows.
Han Xin couldn't help grinning. The cold wind hit him and his robes made a sound. His body remained motionless. The soldiers on the city wall looked at the beast in fear, as if his body was far taller than the city wall.
At this moment, Han Xin enjoyed an unprecedented calmness. The anger, unwillingness, and irritability that had been held in his heart for a long time disappeared without a trace.
When the soldiers charged out of the palace and densely surrounded him, he didn't even blink.
The soldiers separated, and Empress Lu walked over quickly. Her eyes first focused on Liu Chang, and then quickly began to stare at the hero wrapped in Liu Chang.
The depressed, unwilling, angry, irritable King of Chu who lived in complaints and sorrow all day disappeared.
He was wearing an ordinary robe, with his hair tied casually, and his eyes were looking at Empress Lu in front of him wantonly. The unruly and informal young man from Huaiyin County was back.
"You useless boy, you killed someone and you vomited like this."
Han Xin said disdainfully.
Liu Chang opened his eyes weakly, "Mom~~"
Queen Lu was stunned for a moment, the murderous intent on her face weakened a bit, "Who did he kill?"
"Kill the helpers who advise me and prepare for rebellion."
"Hahaha~~"
Empress Lu sneered, "Marquis Huaiyin dares to say anything. Where do you get the courage?"
Han Xin burst out laughing. He placed Liu Chang gently on the ground, reached out suddenly, pulled open the collar on his chest, exposed the position of his heart, patted the position hard, and said proudly: "Come from here.
of."
Queen Lu trembled and stared at Han Xin angrily. Han Xin was not afraid at all and stared at her coldly.
Empress Lu had seen Han Xin like this once. At that time, he was wearing armor and facing an almost invincible enemy. His face was full of defiance. No one who has seen this kind of shadow will forget it.
The spears held by the soldiers were trembling slightly, and their faces were pale. No one dared to raise their heads and look at the downtrodden Marquis of Huaiyin.
"kill."
The soldiers' eyes widened, and their expressions became ferocious. They slowly approached Han Xin, step by step, without the usual determination. Han Xin remained motionless, and his expression did not change at all.
"Wait~~"
Liu Chang mustered up his strength, put his hands on the ground, and reluctantly sat up, "Master did not rebel! He killed Kuai Che who instigated him to rebel!"
Queen Lu narrowed her eyes, "Is that so?"
"No, Kuai Che was killed by Liu Chang, and I decided to rebel."
"Master!!!"
Han Xin looked at Liu Chang on the ground with disdain, "I haven't fallen to the point where I have to rely on the gifts of a coward like you to survive."
"kill!"
"etc!!"
This time, it was not Liu Chang who spoke to dissuade him, but Xiao He who jumped out of the carriage. Xiao He jumped out of the carriage panting and disheveled. It could be seen that he probably rushed there as quickly as possible after receiving the news.
Here, facing the old prime minister, Queen Lu had to give him face. Even though she looked unhappy, she did not reprimand him.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen..."
Xiao He walked quickly to Queen Lu. He finally no longer had the same smiling expression as before. He was also a little panicked. He looked at Queen Lu breathlessly, but didn't know how to speak. He looked at the people standing beside him.
Han Xin, and Han Xin was also looking at him.
Xiao He was the only person in the court who dared to joke with Han Xin, and he was also the only friend Han Xin trusted, just like Liu Bang trusted King Yan.
Han Xin is what he is today because of Xiao He. In his early years, Han Xin was not looked down upon by anyone. In his hometown, he was notorious, his family was impoverished, he had an arrogant personality, and he did not follow etiquette. If Chen Ping was looked down upon by others, then Han Xin was looked down upon by everyone.
Insults and crotch humiliation cannot change his character, he is still the same as before.
Liu Bang entered Shu, Han Xin left Chu and went to Han, but no one still thought highly of him. Although Xia Houying found that this man was unusual and recommended him to Liu Bang, even Liu Bang didn't think there was anything different about him.
Later, Xiao He talked with Han Xin, and in his words, he discovered that this man had amazing talents. Later, Liu Bang led his army on an expedition, and more than a dozen generals ran away along the way. Suddenly someone came and told Liu Bang: Xiao He also ran away.
Liu Bang almost collapsed, angry and aggrieved. Suddenly, Xiao He came back on his own.
Liu Bang asked him angrily, "Since you ran away, why did you come back?"
Xiao He told him: "I did not run away, I was just chasing someone who escaped."
"who?"
"Han Xin."
Liu Bang did not listen to Xiao He's explanation. He asked, "There are more than a dozen generals who escaped, but you didn't pursue them, but you said you were going after Han Xin. Who would believe it?"
Xiao He then called Han Xin and said to Liu Bang: "Those officers who are tied up are not as good as Han Xin. You will never find another general like this in the world!"
Then, Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general, and Han Xin officially began his outrageous military career. A sudden leap left a top ceiling in the history of Chinese wars. It was left to be admired by later generations. Most people can only look up to it. Only
Only a minority among the minority can reach this ceiling. Throughout the cold weapon era, no one dared to say that they had jumped over this ceiling.
Xiao He and Han Xin had a good personal relationship. Xiao He admired Han Xin very much and loved his talents.
However, now Han Xin has become a worry for Liu Bang and Xiao He. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He has many things to consider. Why did the old friend who could share the same hardships now become an indispensable enemy?
Empress Lu was very calm. There was no struggle like Xiao He. She knew that Xiao He would not persuade her to keep Han Xin. As the prime minister, Xiao He saw far better than herself. The prime minister had the information about Kuai Che at the beginning, and even Kuai Che
The prime minister secretly contributed to Han Xin's success.
Xiao He stood quietly for a long time, then walked to Han Xin and straightened his open collar.
"When I was ready to face death calmly, I felt as if I had stepped out of the quagmire. Many things that I couldn't figure out and didn't understand were revealed to me one by one... It's Prime Minister who wants to kill me.
?"
"Yes, it's me... You can't do it until you die. Just one word from you can make Chen Xi rebel. Did you know? His army burned, killed and looted hundreds of thousands of people in Zhao Dynasty and Zhao Dynasty.
Displaced, the Zhao Dynasty and the two places continued to press for food, and the people's food was robbed by him. The land that was finally cultivated will be abandoned again..."
Xiao He spoke calmly, his eyes gradually becoming moist.
"Your ambition has harmed hundreds of thousands of innocent people... If the war continues and there is a food disaster, I don't know how many people will starve... The world cannot withstand your destruction. In the past few years, I
I can't sleep a single night. After spending so much effort, things are gradually improving everywhere... You said, I can't watch you destroy the world... You won't blame me, right?"
"No blame, no blame...the collar is not done properly..."
"Oh, I'm nervous. No wonder, your clothes are very beautiful. Why have I never seen you wearing them?"
"This is the burial object I prepared for myself. Look here, it is the phoenix that my wife knitted for me. It looks good..."
After hurriedly packing up Han Xin's clothes, Xiao He wiped his eyes with his hands, took a few steps back, looked at Han Xin in front of him again, nodded, and was finally satisfied.
"Get me some food and a sword."
"Let's go, I'll eat with you."
"Hey? Where's that bastard?"
Han Xin looked aside in surprise. Liu Chang, who had been lying on the ground just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.
From the beginning to the end, Empress Lu didn't say a word, she just watched the two old friends reminiscing about the past with a cold face.
.......
"Brother, please save Master, he will not rebel again... Brother, please save him... He has already realized his mistake..."
Liu Ying looked at Liu Chang, who was lying on the hospital bed, pleading and became entangled.
"Okay, I'll go rescue him."
ps: Sorry everyone, I went to have a prenatal check-up with my wife this morning, which delayed me a bit.
