Wang Can continued: "Liu Bang, I have given my choice. I, Han Xin, will keep my word. As long as you, Liu Bang, kneel down and apologize. I, Han Xin, swear to the Tianmeng that I will not take Chen Ping's life."
For the ancients, swearing to a heavenly alliance was the greatest promise.
This is more effective than writing in black and white.
Wang Can's words reached Liu Bang's ears, and also reached the ears of the soldiers behind Liu Bang.
Liu Bang stood outside the city, looking troubled.
For a while, he was a little irritable and didn't know what decision to make.
Wang Can could understand Liu Bang's mentality. He looked at Chen Ping who was gagged and said: "Chen Ping, do you think Liu Bang will kneel down for you? As long as he kneels down, your life will be saved. If he doesn't
Kneel down and you will die."
Chen Ping's expression was quite complicated at this moment.
Because this is Wang Can's test.
In other words, this is Wang Can's bad taste.
Wang Can deliberately arranged this to put Liu Bang into a dilemma.
As far as Wang Can is concerned, he is not at a loss in any way. Because once Liu Bang really kneels down, he will be embarrassed in front of all the soldiers. If he doesn't kneel down, it will make Chen Ping feel chilled.
You know, Chen Ping is Liu Bang's confidant.
Chen Ping has been following Liu Bang and making suggestions for Liu Bang, going through life and death, but he can't get Liu Bang to kneel down. Then the friendship between the emperor and his ministers is too weak.
Wang Can stared outside the city with a smile.
He was waiting for Liu Bang's decision.
At this moment, Liu Bang was still very confused. If he had been asked to kneel down when he was the Pavilion Chief of Peixian County, he would have knelt down immediately without saying anything, but he was no longer the Liu Bang of the past.
Now he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
If you kneel down, what will happen to your face?
Where is the dignity of the big man?
After the news spreads, how will the kings of all countries in the world treat him?
Various reasons were considered by Liu Bang.
Different statuses have different mentality and different things to consider. What Liu Bang was thinking about at this time was not Chen Ping, but his own face.
Just like back then, Xiang Yu had Liu Bang's parents, wife and children with him.
In order to get Liu Bang to go out of the city for a decisive battle, Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang and asked Liu Bang to go out of the city to fight. Otherwise, Liu Bang's father would be cooked to death, and then Liu Bang's wife would be killed.
An ordinary person would be frightened by this kind of threat and would immediately fight it.
But Liu Bang didn't.
Liu Bang acted like a rogue as always and told Xiang Yu loudly that he and Xiang Yu had once been brothers. Since they were brothers, Liu Bang's father was equivalent to Xiang Yu's father. If Xiang Yu insisted on cooking and killing his father, let Xiang Yu also share a piece of the meat.
Give him the soup.
As for the wife, if you want to kill her, then kill her.
These lazy words fully demonstrate Liu Bang's acting style.
Xiang Yu was so angry that he wanted to cook and kill Liu Taigong. Even Liu Taigong cursed Liu Bang as a traitor. Thanks to Xiang Bo's persuasion, Xiang Yu gave up the idea of cooking and killing Liu Taigong.
At this moment, when Liu Bang saw Chen Ping on the top of the city, he seemed to think of the scene when he faced Xiang Yu in the past.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Han Xin, you and Chen Ping were once comrades on the battlefield. They say comrades are like brothers. Now that you want to kill your own siblings, I have nothing to say. As long as you dare to kill
Chen Ping, I will definitely avenge Chen Ping. When I break Luo County, I will definitely kill you."
"Hahaha……"
After Wang Can heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Liu Bang said: "Han Xin, why are you laughing?"
Wang Can pretended to be Han Xin and felt no pressure at all. He said loudly: "What I laugh at is that you, Liu Bang, are still as cold-blooded as ever and as selfish as ever."
Liu Bang snorted but did not speak.
Wang Can continued: "Now that Chen Ping is captured, you, Liu Bang, will leave him alone. Anyone who is of no use to you, or who you think threatens you, will be killed or abandoned. Liu Bang, Liu Bang
, How did a person like you get to sit on the dragon's throne? There is no hero in the world, but it made Zhuzi famous! You Liu Bang, a scoundrel, can't sit on the throne of this big man."
"Child Han Xin, you are seeking death!"
When Liu Bang heard Wang Can's words, he couldn't help but cursed.
He suddenly realized that the mouth of 'Han Xin' in front of him was really sharp, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
In the previous life, Han Xin was good at leading troops to fight, marching and forming formations, and was a military god on the battlefield. But in this life, Han Xin not only had the ability to fight, but also had such a vicious mouth.
Is this still Han Xin?
But this thought passed away in a flash.
Liu Bang clenched his fist and said loudly: "Han Xin, I put my words here. As long as you dare to kill Chen Ping, I swear you will not give up."
Wang Can said: "You vow not to give up? Huh, I am the one who vows not to give up. I will definitely fight to Chengdu. I will capture you Liu Bang. I will take out your heart and see if your conscience has been destroyed."
The dog ate it.”
Liu Bang was scolded by Wang Can, his face was dull, he simply stopped talking to Wang Can, turned his horse around and withdrew. He came to Xia Houying and said: "Xia Houying, what do you think we should do about the current situation?
"
Xia Houying's expression was solemn.
Chen Ping is in the hands of 'Han Xin'. If he forces an attack on the city, what should he do if 'Han Xin' really wants to kill Chen Ping?
In fact, Xia Houying somewhat disagreed with Liu Bang's approach.
In Xia Houying's view, Liu Bang knelt down to save Chen Ping's life, which was not a shameful thing. As the saying goes, a thousand gold buys horse bones, and Liu Bang knelt down to save someone, even if the news spread, it would still be a good story.
This is for the sake of my subjects!
This shows Liu Bang's love for talent.
Of course, it is indeed shameful for the monarch of a country, the lofty emperor, to kneel down in front of everyone. But a simple kneel down can bring Chen Ping's safety.
Of course, even if 'Han Xin' went back on his word, at least Chen Ping felt better after Liu Bang knelt down, because Liu Bang valued Chen Ping and cared about Chen Ping's life and death.
Xia Houyuan didn't think it was a shameful thing.
However, he is a minister.
Xia Houying knew Liu Bang's nature, so even if he had thoughts in his heart, he did not say it out loud. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, 'Han Xin' threatened Chen Ping's life. We just ignore it. The general suggested that we withdraw our troops for the time being.
If we don't start a war with 'Han Xin'. If we don't attack, 'Han Xin' won't be able to kill Chen Ping. If he makes a move, we won't take it."
Liu Bang said: "Xiahou, have we never attacked? If we have not attacked because we care about Chen Ping's life, then Han Xin will always be entrenched in Luoxian County. We will never be able to destroy Han Xin."
In Liu Bang's heart, he did not consider Chen Ping's life because Chen Ping had been captured and had no value.
Liu Bang hoped to capture Luo County as soon as possible.
He wanted to catch 'Han Xin', peel off his skin and cramp his muscles, and make 'Han Xin' life worse than death.
Xia Houying said: "Your Majesty is wise, since this is the case, I will order the war. As for Chen Ping, I will ignore it for the time being."
