Wang Can looked at Liu Bang who fell to the ground and knew that Liu Bang would never be able to regenerate.
Since then, the Han Dynasty has been destroyed.
Wang Can ordered the soldiers to enter, drag Liu Bang's body down, and then clean up the hall. After doing all this, Wang Can looked at Han Xin and said: "Han Qing, Liu Bang is dead. But the person who killed you is Lu Pheasant.
Are you still going to kill her?"
Lu Pheasant, that is truly cruel and ruthless.
She even made Liu Bang afraid.
When Han Xin heard Lu Pheasant's name, he shook his head and said: "Although Lu Pheasant personally arranged for someone to kill me, in the final analysis, it was only with Liu Bang's instructions. By killing Liu Bang, I have avenged my great revenge. The rest
, and let your Majesty handle it."
Wang Can nodded, looked at Peng Yue, and said, "Peng Qing, what else do you want?"
Peng Yue said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing more to ask for."
When Wang Can saw this, he waved his hand for the two of them to leave.
Because there are many things Wang Can has to do next, such as recruiting Xiao He and Zhang Liang, who are both capable ministers of the Han Dynasty. If Xiao He and Zhang Liang can be made to submit, it will be very beneficial to the future development of the Shu Kingdom.
helpful.
Wang Can ordered: "Come here, bring Xiao He in."
"Here!"
When the soldiers received the order, they immediately went to make arrangements.
Not long after, Xiao He was taken into the tent by soldiers.
At this moment, Xiao He looked quite downcast and listless. He was a scholar by nature, and his martial arts skills were not strong. After falling into the water, he soaked in cold water for a while, and his spirit was a little depressed.
Especially the destruction of the Han Dynasty made Xiao He even more disheartened.
Dahan is Liu Bang's Dahan.
Similarly, he is also Xiao He's big man.
Because every bit of the Han Dynasty, everything in the Han Dynasty was attributed to Xiao He. Even though Xiao He did not have the supreme power to control the country, Xiao He worked hard to maintain the country.
He put in countless efforts, and finally everything collapsed.
This meeting destroyed Xiao He's faith.
Wang Can stared at Xiao He, who looked a little depressed, and said: "Xiao He, since you were reborn, you have understood the general trend of the world, and learned that Liu Bang is trapped in Yizhou, you should understand that Liu Bang will be defeated in the end and will never be able to dominate the world again. This point
, you should be very clear. Now that Liu Bang has been defeated, it is not an unexpected thing."
Xiao He said: "Although I know it, I don't want to see such a thing happen."
Wang Can said: "You, Xiao He, the wisest person in the world, can't you see through such a thing?"
Xiao He said: "He is a human being, so there are flaws."
Wang Can smiled softly and said: "So, in fact, your allegiance is not to Liu Bang, but to the Han Dynasty. You, Xiao He, have already seen through Liu Bang's character, right?"
"yes!"
Xiao He answered without hesitation.
He followed Liu Bang. At the beginning, Liu Bang was indeed honest and quite wise. But when Liu Bang gradually reached a high position and began to deal with his old subordinates, Xiao He began to taint himself in order to save himself.
At that time, Xiao He felt cold-hearted.
At that time, Xiao He was only loyal to the Han Dynasty.
A flash of light flashed in Wang Can's eyes. He seemed to have grasped the reason for persuading Xiao He, and said seriously: "Xiao He, I think your allegiance is not to the Han Dynasty, but to a glorious and prosperous age, but to a world where the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Then
, is your goal and your allegiance. The great Han Dynasty in the past did dominate the world, so you handle government affairs conscientiously and maintain the world."
"Now that the Han Dynasty has been defeated, your allegiance has not collapsed, it has always existed."
"If you follow me, you can also fight for the unification of the world, for the peace and prosperity of the country, and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. If you, Xiao He, are reborn, are you just limited to your ego, your allegiance to Liu Bang, and your allegiance to the great man?"
Wang Can said: "What you want to be loyal to is the people of the world. What you want to practice is your ambition to help the world."
He used his sharp tongue to persuade Xiao He.
For people like Xiao He, coercion is of no use. You can only move them with emotion and reason. Only by touching the soft place deep in the other person's heart can you have a chance to convince the other person.
This is what Wang Can wants to do.
Wang Can’s entry point is Xiao He’s ambition and Xiao He’s dream.
All ambitions and dreams are transferred to the people and the entire world.
Only in this way can we gain a foothold.
Xiao He's expression was solemn, but there was a hint of agility in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "Wang Can, even if what you said makes sense. However, as a loyal minister, I can't betray your majesty and surrender to you, Shu."
of the country.”
Wang Can said: "Xiao He and Liu Bang are both dead, who do you want to be loyal to?"
"died?"
Xiao He's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, and he said: "How is it possible? Although your Majesty fell into the water, he was rescued by soldiers. It is impossible for him to die like this."
Wang Can said: "He is indeed dead."
Xiao He asked: "How did you die?"
Wang Can said: "Just now, he died under Han Xin's sword, and he died in this camp."
brush!
Xiao He's expression changed slightly.
However, Xiao He could not blame Han Xin for Liu Bang's death, because in his previous life, Liu Bang had instructed him and Lu Pheasant to trick Han Xin into entering the palace, and Lu Pheasant then sent someone to kill Han Xin.
Now, Han Xin is just seeking revenge.
Furthermore, Xiao He himself felt guilty about Han Xin, and it was impossible for him to criticize Han Xin harshly.
If Wang Can killed Liu Bang, he might still be angry and accuse Wang Can. But when Han Xin killed Liu Bang, Xiao He couldn't say no and could only bear it silently.
Wang Can noticed Xiao He's demeanor and roughly guessed Xiao He's inner thoughts. He said solemnly: "Xiao He, Liu Bang is dead. The great Han has perished. You have no reason to persist anymore."
Xiao He's expression also became serious.
Liu Bang is dead!
What else is he insisting on?
The big man no longer exists.
Xiao He took a deep breath and quickly had an idea in his mind, and continued: "If you want me to surrender, that's okay. The prerequisite is that you must agree to my conditions."
Wang Can asked: "What are the conditions?"
Xiao He replied: "Your Majesty's descendants, the descendants of the Liu family, cannot be killed. You can detain them, you can encircle them, but they must keep their lives."
"Can!"
Wang Can answered directly.
After Liu Bang died, all the sons under Liu Bang could not succeed at all.
What's more, under the current situation, Chen Ping has surrendered, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zang Tu and others have also surrendered, and Xiao He has also surrendered, so the big men dispersed immediately.
Without Xiao He, Chen Ping, Han Xin and others, the great Han Dynasty is no longer the great Han Dynasty it used to be.
Wang Can is not worried about Liu Bang's heirs causing trouble.
Xiao He continued: "There is no proof for what you say, you must swear an oath to prove it."
Wang Can directly raised his right hand and swore: "I, Wang Can, swear not to implicate Liu Bang's carefulness, nor to kill the descendants of the Liu family. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder from heaven, and you will not die a good death."
After saying that, Wang Can looked at Xiao He and asked: "Xiao He, how are you doing?"
After Xiao He heard this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Xiao He, pay homage to your majesty!"
Wang Can had a smile on his face.
With Xiao He's surrender, the strength of the Shu Kingdom increased a lot.
Perhaps Xiao He had some shortcomings in leading troops to fight and strategizing. However, Xiao He was extremely capable in managing domestic affairs, sorting out national affairs, and coordinating all parties.
This is an internal affairs genius.
Wang Can stood up and walked to Xiao He, held Xiao He up with both hands, and said: "Xiao He, after you submit to me, you will still stay in Yizhou for the time being and handle Yizhou's government affairs."
"Here!"
Xiao He immediately agreed.
After Wang Can asked Xiao He to step aside, he arranged for someone to call Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang is the mastermind.
When he was by Liu Bang's side, he specifically made suggestions for Liu Bang and had a very strategic vision.
He's in pretty good shape.
Although Zhang Liang also fell into the water, after being rescued by the soldiers, he changed his clothes and washed himself, and his condition quickly recovered. Regarding his situation, Zhang Liang took it as he came, and he was not depressed.
of.
In his previous life, he followed Liu Bang. After Liu Bang established his country, he retired early and sought immortality to protect himself.
He doesn't have much loyalty to the so-called big man.
When Zhang Liangjian arrived at Wang Can, with a faint smile on his face, he bowed his hands and said, "Zhang Liang, I have met His Majesty the Emperor of Shu."
Wang Can also had a look of surprise on his face and said: "Zhang Liang, compared to Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Xiao He and others, you are the only one who can have such a good attitude and be able to face me calmly.
.You are truly extraordinary.”
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Wang Can did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Liu Bang is dead, killed by Han Xin's sword. Now, Xiao He has also surrendered. Do you think you are willing to surrender?"
Zhang Liang said seriously: "The Han Dynasty was overthrown, the king died, and the ministers surrendered. What is there to miss? What's more, old friends such as Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zang Tu, and Xiao He all surrendered. No matter how hard I persist, I won't be able to do anything.
It doesn't make any sense. I am willing to submit to the Kingdom of Shu and respect Your Majesty as my lord."
"good!"
Wang Can said: "I believe you!"
With a faint smile on Zhang Liang's face, he joked: "I agreed so quickly, isn't Your Majesty worried that I am being obedient and deliberately pretending to agree?"
Wang Can chuckled and said: "If you are pretending to submit, then put on a show and do the whole thing. It is best not to show your flaws in this life. Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will die and your family will be destroyed. It is said that the wife will not be harmed by misfortune.
Son, your actions like this will affect your wife, children, and parents."
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I am timid, and I will not dare to do it in a positive way."
Facing Zhang Liang's naughtiness, Wang Can had uncontrollable thoughts.
Zhang Liang is too slick.
However, Wang Can didn't mind that much, as long as Zhang Liang surrendered, that was enough.
Wang Can had a solemn expression on his face and said solemnly: "Zhang Liang, I plan to recruit Xia Houying to surrender. What suggestions do you have for this?"
Xia Houying was Liu Bang's confidant.
This is Liu Bang's most valued minister.
Wang Can was able to recruit Xiao He and Zhang Liang because they were all civil servants, but Xia Houying was different. Xia Houying was a military general.
This is not easy to persuade.
Therefore, Wang Can asked and wanted to hear Zhang Liang’s advice. (To be continued)
