Deep in Xiangshan Mountain, where Han Xin’s troops gathered.
In the house, Han Xin is studying.
Han Xin himself was a master of the art of war, but he was fond of reading. Whether it was poetry, books, or art of war, he liked them all. Han Xin had dabbled in the classics of hundreds of schools of thought.
Han Xin always believed that he knew everything about military strategy, so he believed that he could learn the principles of military use from the books of hundreds of schools of thought, so he read a lot of poems and books.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the study.
But it was Kuai Che who walked in.
There was a solemn look on Kuai Che's face and he reported: "Lord, all the people we sent to intercept the people who sneaked into Xiangshan have been captured. Only one person has escaped now, and the other party has designated to see you. The person who came,
It’s Wang Can, the emperor of Shu.”
"Wang Can, he actually arrived in Hanzhong?"
Han Xin couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.
In Han Xin's view, Wang Can is the king of a country. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Wang Can is personally concerned about the safety of the Shu Kingdom, and he risked his life as much as in Hanzhong. This is contrary to common sense.
Han Xin narrowed his eyes with a scrutinizing look in his eyes and said, "Sir, what do you mean when you say Wang Can came to Xiangshan?"
Kuai Che said: "It is most likely to recruit the lord."
"Then let's meet."
Han Xin stood up, dressed in a black robe and a sword hanging from his waist, and walked out of the house. Han Xin did not mobilize the soldiers, but took Kuai Tong to Wang Can's place.
From Han Xin's point of view, he could not find the possibility of becoming an enemy of Wang Can.
Not long after, Han Xin arrived.
Han Xin's eyes fell on Wang Can. Seeing Wang Can's inner gaze and piercing eyes, especially the bulging temples, he knew that Wang Can was extremely skilled in martial arts.
Han Xin is sizing up Wang Can, and Wang Can is also sizing up Han Xin.
When Wang Can saw Han Xin's appearance, he couldn't help but admired what a strange man he was.
Wang Can cupped his hands and said: "King Can of Shu, I have met the Marquis of Huaiyin!"
Han Xin said: "I, Han Xin, am not the Marquis of Huaiyin of the Han Dynasty. Please bear in mind, Your Majesty."
Wang Can raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
He specifically called him Marquis of Huaiyin to test Han Xin's attitude towards Liu Bang. Marquis of Huaiyin was a title that Han Xin once loyal to Liu Bang, but was demoted again and again by Liu Bang, and finally became a marquis.
Han Xin did not recognize the title conferred by Liu Bang, which meant that Wang Can had the opportunity to recruit Han Xin.
Wang Can said: "In that case, let me call you General Han. I have heard about General Han for a long time. It is really a chance to meet you in Xiangshan."
After a pause, Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Come here, let all the people from the Baima Qiang tribe go."
"yes!"
Luo Cheng received the order and immediately made arrangements.
Everyone released all the White Horse Qiang and quickly ran to stand behind Han Xin one by one. When they looked at Wang Can, Luo Cheng and Mu Guiying, they all had a look of fear in their eyes.
They were no match for the fight with Wang Can's men just now.
Seeing that Wang Can was relieved, Han Xin felt more favorable toward Wang Can. His tone softened and he asked: "I wonder what important business your Majesty has come to Xiangshan?"
Wang Can said: "First, recruit General Han; second, recruit the Baima Qiang tribe."
"General Han is full of strategies and talents. With your ability, you should not be forced to live in Xiangshan."
"Your natural talent should be used on the battlefield."
"General Han, are you willing to serve me?"
Wang Can didn't beat around the bush and directly extended an olive branch. In front of people like Han Xin, beating around the bush was useless.
Therefore, Wang Can directly expressed his intention.
Han Xin smiled and said calmly: "I used to be loyal to Liu Bang. Even if I had the opportunity to become king and ancestor, I gave up. But what I got in exchange for my loyalty was the death of a cunning rabbit and the death of a lackey. I follow you, and I am afraid that in the end, I will be the same.
Same ending."
Wang Can said: "General Han is worrying too much."
Han Xin said: "Why?"
Wang Can looked confident and replied firmly: "Liu Bang is a cunning man. In order to survive, he would abandon his wife and children. In order to survive, he would allow his wife and children to be humiliated. Such a person is inherently unkind and unjust.
Sad. Liu Bang has a thick face and a dark heart. It is reasonable for him to do what he did to the cunning rabbit and his lackey."
"Liu Bang knows how to do it, but I can't."
Wang Can was extremely confident.
Han Xin sneered and said: "In the past, Liu Bang said he couldn't do it. What he said was so simple."
Wang Can said: "Words are unfounded. Facts speak louder than words. The simplest way to speak truth is to present facts. After General Han was reborn, although he lived in Xiangshan Mountain, he should have some understanding of the general trend of the world and the situation in Shu.
, you should also know something about it.”
Han Xin said: "I heard a little bit about it!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Of the officials in Shu, there are those who were loyal to Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty; there are also those who used to follow Cao Cao, and there are those who have followed me since the beginning."
"From the beginning to now, no one has ever died at my hands."
"To give a simple example, Cao Cao once founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor. He founded the Kingdom of Wei and commanded the north. He was once the emperor of a country and was my strongest opponent. He can be said to be a formidable enemy."
"I fought against Cao Cao. On the battlefield, countless sons of Shu died at the hands of Wei's army."
"However, I appreciate Cao Cao."
"Both sides are fighting and fighting. This is due to their stance."
Wang Can continued: "Such a person, if it were another emperor, once he defeated Cao Cao, in order to eliminate Cao Cao's influence and to make Wei officials completely loyal to Shu, they would definitely kill Cao Cao."
"Even if Cao Cao is not killed, he will still be imprisoned."
"This is to weaken Cao Cao's influence."
"I didn't!"
"Not only did I not kill Cao Cao, but I also reused Cao Cao. He is still the person I rely on most. All the ministers who once served under Cao Cao also surrendered to me and became loyal ministers of the Shu Kingdom."
Wang Can said: "I can tolerate the surrender of ministers and generals."
"Besides, it's General Han?"
"The problem that General Han is worried about is actually not a problem at all."
"Under Liu Bang's command, General Han will face a situation where the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked, but in Shu, this is impossible. Our officials in Shu will never die under unfounded charges."
There was certainty in Wang Can's words.
This is also Wang Can’s confidence.
To this day, Wang Can has never dealt with a powerful civil servant or military general. He disdains to do things that would lead to the death of a cunning rabbit, and he is also confident that he can control the people under his command and make everyone follow him wholeheartedly.
After hearing this, Han Xin looked a little relaxed.
At this time, Kuai Che said: "Your Majesty, my lord does not want to be famous in the world. In the past, wherever my lord led his army, he was invincible. As soon as the army arrived, the enemy was frightened."
"My lord, I have long been accustomed to the glitz and vicissitudes of life."
"My lord, I am no longer moved by fame and fortune."
"What the lord wants now is just to seek justice from Liu Bang, but in front of Liu Bang. Why did he allow Xiao He and Lu Pheasant to kill the lord?"
Kuai Tong said: "My lord, this is the only request I have made."
Wang Can laughed and asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
Kuai Che said seriously: "I'm here, Kuai Che!"
Wang Can nodded and said: "You are General Han's counselor, and you are a loyal person."
Kuai Che said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Wang Can changed the topic and said: "General Han, I can satisfy your request. You have to ask for justice and an explanation in front of Liu Bang. The prerequisite is to defeat Liu Bang."
"Otherwise, your idea won't be possible."
"You even have to defeat Liu Bang to achieve your goal."
"I can help you."
Wang Can said: "I want to unify the world and end the troubled times, and Liu Bang is my stumbling block. You need to wipe out Liu Bang's power, and I also need to wipe out Liu Bang's power. With the same goal, why doesn't General Han surrender to me?
"
"Before Liu Bang is destroyed, General Han will serve for me."
"After destroying Liu Bang, I will follow your opinion whether General Han will go or stay. If you are willing to stay in Shu, I will welcome you. If you want to go back to the mountains and forests, I will also agree."
Wang Can said: "General Han, what do you think?"
After listening to Wang Can's words, Han Xin could feel Wang Can's sincerity and no longer hesitated, saying: "Okay, I promise you."
"good!"
When Wang Can heard this, he couldn't help but shout out.
With Han Xin's help, the strength of Wang Can's generals increased again.
In fact, Wang Can's reason for keeping Han Xin was to keep Han Xin completely. Although Wang Can said that after Liu Bang is destroyed, Han Xin will follow Han Xin's opinion whether to go or stay. However, there is a deep meaning in this.
of.
First, how long will it take to destroy Liu Bang?
As long as Liu Bang is not destroyed, Han Xin will always be under Wang Can and serve Wang Can.
Second, Wang Can has more opportunities to contact Han Xin.
As long as Han Xin is under Wang Can's command, then Wang Can can subtly make Han Xin recognize Shu and develop feelings for Shu. In the end, Han Xin is willing to stay in Shu without Wang Can trying to persuade him to stay.
This is what Wang Can planned.
Therefore, in Wang Can's view, as long as Han Xin agrees to his conditions, it will be almost impossible for Han Xin to leave Shu. Han Xin already belongs to Shu.
Wang Can said: "General Han, I am entering Xiangshan for the first time. You will lead the way to the tribe."
"Your Majesty, follow me!"
Han Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he did not appear to be restrained because he had surrendered to Wang Can. He did not feel any restraint or fear in front of Wang Can.
Because Han Xin himself has seen the world.
A group of people walked into the mountains and forests.
Soon after, Han Xin led Wang Can and his party to the place where he lived. This was not the station of Baima Qiang where Qifuluo was located, but Han Xin brought Wang Can here first and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is where soldiers from our army are stationed.
At the location. Today, there are hundreds of elite soldiers under my command. It is precisely because of such a force that we can wipe out the officers and soldiers who entered Xiangshan several times."
Wang Can scanned this residential area.
The layout of these houses is very particular, just like the layout of military camps.
All houses guard Han Xin's safety.
At the same time, everyone can be summoned in the shortest possible time. (To be continued)
