"Well, that's good. I ask you to betray Chu and return to Qin. You won't have any objections, right?"
"No, absolutely not."
Just kidding, Han Xin has been a commoner since he was born, and has never experienced the glory and happiness of which country he lives in. As for the people of Qin and Chu, it doesn't matter at all, he doesn't care either.
"It's okay if you don't know how to do it. Follow me and work hard. In the future, you will help me defeat Xiang Yu and unify the world. You will be famous in history. All future generations will be grateful for your contribution to Han Xin."
"His Majesty's words have made me so enlightened and excited that I can't wait to rush to the battlefield immediately."
"Go ahead. I have told Su Du and Bai Zhan that he is waiting for you to report there. The land in Guanzhong has just been recovered, and there are still many major things waiting for me to deal with. I will not be involved in guarding Hangu Pass this time.
You three just go ahead and do it.
If you do a good job, I won't hesitate to reward you. If you don't do a good job, just come and see me."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Upon hearing this, Han Xin kowtowed excitedly and thanked Su Du happily, and then happily took the Holy Oracle to find Su Du. What Han Xin owed was Bole. With Bole, he would be able to soar into the sky and become a blockbuster.
Li Feng was a little confused: "This guy seems to be quite happy when he heard that he came to see you."
.......
At the head of Hanguguan City, Su Du had already received news of Xiang Yu's invasion and was ready for a war.
A few days ago, a man named Li Shiqi came to persuade him to surrender. He threatened that as long as he surrendered the city, he would be high-ranking and well-paid, and he would also be able to comply with the people of the world and work for the welfare of the people of the world.
For this reason, Li Shiqi also listed several Qin generals who surrendered on the eve of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that they all had become generals and made marquises, and were highly regarded by the king of Han and the overlord.
Su Du and Bai Zhan were both angry and funny. In their thinking logic, it was really difficult to understand that they could persuade a city lord to surrender with just a few words.
Putting aside the issue of loyalty, if you can take a city with just your words, why do you need an army?
The essence of why those lobbyists are successful is not their own merit, but the credit of the powerful military force behind them. Without strength as a basis, who can talk to you?
A weak country has no diplomacy, that's all.
Now I am very confident in the combat effectiveness of my army. I am now His Majesty the Emperor's confidant, General of the Qin Dynasty, and the emperor's humerus. How can I still be tempted by you, a pheasant bandit?
In line with the fine tradition of not killing the envoys when the two armies were fighting, Su Du beat Li Sheqi out and set up defenses more excitedly. Han Xin was even more excited, and he even used the shovel with his own hands.
Su Du: ".........."
Looking at the dust blown by the strong wind in front of him, his eyes were sharp, his cloak was rustling, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter.
Looking at the lieutenant next to him who was airborne by His Majesty the Emperor, he felt a little nervous.
His Majesty asked him to treat Han Xin with courtesy at the same level, and he didn't say anything.
But it is impossible for him to be convinced by a guy who has never fought with him and has never heard of any extraordinary qualities. It is too childish, isn't it?
The good thing is that this guy actually hates Xiang Yu to the core, so at least they have endless things to talk about in common.
Xiang Yu, who was once his nightmare, was about to meet again, so how could he not be nervous.
"Liu Bang, Xiang Yu! This time you two are together, I will make you look good."
In order to fight this battle successfully, Su Du, Han Xin and Bai Zhan carefully studied the terrain of Hangu Pass with a radius of hundreds of miles.
After some discussion, it was decided to divide the troops.
Li Feng assigned 100,000 garrison troops to Hangu Pass. Su Du placed 80,000 of them under his own control, while the other 20,000 were led by Han Xin and hid outside the city, waiting for opportunities.
Bai Zhan personally led two thousand falcon dragon guards deep into the hinterland of Western Chu, cutting off grain routes and disrupting the Chu army's backyard.
Not long after he led his troops out of the city, Han Xin had his own idea.
"The so-called strategy of cooperating inside and outside, and attacking from inside and outside, is just to cater to the coach Su Du. The specifics are not based on the actual situation on the battlefield."
He knew the fighting power of the Chu army. They were warriors in hundreds of battles, the best of the best, plus Xiang Yu's unforgettable hatred for the Qin people. Combining the two, if he rushed forward at this time, it would be no different than risking his own death.
Han Xin anxiously looked at a mountain col on the map, made up his mind, and slapped it.
This is an excellent ambush site. It has a funnel-like terrain, is surrounded by towering mountains on three sides, and has only one entrance and exit. As long as the enemy troops are brought in and then the exit is blocked, it will be easy to handle.
"Xiang Yu is quite talented in military affairs. He will definitely not be fooled by such an obvious ambush. How can we let him get in on his own initiative?" Han Xin walked around in front of the map, thinking about a solution.
Finally, when I saw a mountain col on the map, I had an idea: "Scout, where are the scouts?"
A sergeant in black quickly emerged from the door. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "General, what are your orders?"
Han Xin took out a handkerchief, wrote a few words on it, and then handed it to the black sergeant: "Go quickly and find General Bai. No matter what he is doing now, ask him to catch Yu Ji."
"No!" the scout mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Come on, get the army craftsman Zao Zao and make me three thousand wolf tooth rollers. I will draw a picture for him. He wants it to look like this."
"Come, tell the generals above the centurion to come to the big tent to listen to orders."
A series of orders were conveyed. Han Xin pointed his finger at the mountain col and gritted his teeth: "Xiang Yu, soldiers never tire of deceit. Don't blame me. There is also Yu Ji. I'm sorry."
Soon after, the mighty Chu-Han coalition forces appeared at the foot of Hangu Pass.
Although Xiang Yu's political skills are poor, he is indeed a rare talent in commanding troops to fight. His marching formations are watertight, and his military appearance is neat and tidy, making it impossible for anyone to find any flaws.
Liu Bang's military formation was relatively inferior.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Liu Bang hated and feared Su Du. Now that they met again, his calves were trembling a little when he remembered that he almost became a charcoal-roasted turkey last time. If he didn't have to, he would really like to see this guy.
"Pei Gong, long time no see. How did you run away last time? I really belong to you. I will have to ask you for advice another day."
Being teased like this by Su Du, Liu Bang felt ashamed and angry: "You little thief Su Du, don't be so arrogant! You insulted my envoy, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. You... you just wait for me."
Su Du looked at him jokingly: "Oh, I dare to ask Pei Gong, how do you plan to settle the score with me?"
"You...when I capture the city, I will definitely take your dog's head as a memorial to my brother Fan Kuai and Cao Shen."
"Really? Then you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise those 70-year-old ladies in Sichuan have admired you for a long time, Pei Gong, and they would pay me to take you back."
"Damn it, little Su Du, how dare you be so arrogant in front of my brother Xiang."
