After Li Zuoche left, he returned to the camp. The Hanzhong man, Captain Zhao Yan, who had just listened to the whole conversation between the two men, was thoughtful, and after retreating to the sergeant, he said to Han Xin: New Bayi Chinese website first published
"What do you think of what Li Zuoche said just now?"
Zhao Yan was a close confidant, and Han Xin was very relaxed in front of him. While taking off his turban, he even smelled it and said:
"Li Zuoche's words about adopting Yan's strategy and not attacking Dai in winter are quite insightful. As for what happens next..."
He smiled disapprovingly: "You really think that Duke Xia is the king of Zhao!" ァ新ヤ~8~1~中文网www.x~8~1zщ.com
Just now, Li Zuoche warned Han Xin about the affairs of his eldest father Li Mu, saying that a general who is fighting abroad, sitting in great power, and repeatedly performing meritorious deeds will be hated by villains in the court and will often be slandered. The black man Fang will destroy the Chu country, but he will not After returning to Guanzhong, he hurriedly led his army to Hebei, where Han Xin was solely responsible. It was intended to attack the Dai Kingdom and the Xiongnu, but in fact he might be afraid of him.
"It's a big taboo to have great achievements that surpass the master."
Li Zuoche even advised Han Xin:
"I would like to tell you about the general's strategy: Cross the Xihe River with one step, defeat the Wei army, lead troops to Shangdang, kill Lu Goujian, then go up to Taiyuan, cross Taihang, destroy Zhao, threaten Yan, destroy Zhao and Wei's troops of more than 100,000, and take all the land of Jizhou. Coupled with the previous attack on Nanyang, the capture of Hanzhong, the attack on the plank road in the open and covert attack on Chencang, and the success of Dingyong in capturing Shangjun, in terms of strategy, it far surpasses all other generals and is second only to Xia Gong himself!"
"Now that I have the power of the Lord of Zhen, I have become the Marquis of Che, and now I have taken over the throne of Yan. How can Duke Xia reward you? Is he also promoted to Duke? I am in the position of a minister and have the power of the Lord of Zhen. I am famous all over the world. For the sake of danger."
This is not Li Zuoche's estrangement, but the lesson learned from the tragic death of his eldest father Li Mu.
He also proposed a solution one by one: "For the general's plan now, it is better to suspend the troops, save food and grass, and wait until Duke Xia arrives to take over the Yan land and let him do it himself!"
"In this way, General Han does not have to take the risk of shocking his lord with his great achievements. Xia Gong personally took the land of Yan, which is enough to show off his achievements. When he is satisfied, he can temporarily suspend his troops and wait until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom. It will not be too late to defeat Dai Guo and the Xiongnu. Why rush?"
"This is ridiculous." Han Xin did not express his position in front of Li Zuoche, but now he said: "Not to mention that Xia Gong has always been generous and trustworthy in employing people, but his military order clearly asked me to wait until the army marched north. , seizing the entire county of Guangyang..."
He held up his palms and smiled and said: "This order is exactly what I want. Dongmen Leopard has always been at odds with me. I heard that this old man captured Sanchuan, destroyed Wei, and made great contributions in the Battle of Fuli, so he became the The Marquis of Che is a member of ten thousand households with me."
The two of them are actually equal to those of Ten Thousand Households, and they are the two highest among the Chehous granted by Heifu.
"There is no first place in literature, no second place in military affairs. Among all the generals, there must be one person who can defeat all three armies. As the first meritorious officer, as the first among all the princes, that can only be me!"
"Although I am better than the old man from Dongmen in seizing land, when it comes to destroying the country, I only destroyed Zhao and did not participate in the battle of Fuli. So I can only continue to make meritorious deeds through Dingyan territory!"
"As for whether to move in and replace the land in winter, I will advise Xia Gong. That is another matter."
As for whether he would be superior to his master, Han Xin really never thought about it. He only thought about being better than Dongmen Bao.
Zhao Yan said worriedly: "I think that Li Zuoche's words may be worth listening to. There is no need for the princes to take over this Guangyang County!"
"Why, do you agree with Li Zuoche?"
Zhao Yan said: "Because of one thing, I dare not doubt it."
"Previously, the princes used Guan Ying to go north to Hanoi, which put Li Zuoche in a desperate situation. However, Guan Ying was suddenly ordered by Duke Xia to be transferred south to cooperate with the Dongmen Leopard to destroy Wei. Only then did Zhao get a chance to breathe. This
I really can’t understand the transfer order. It could only be that Duke Xia wanted to delay the time for the general to destroy Zhao. It can be seen that Duke Xia is indeed wary of the general..."
Han Xin looked gloomy: "That is to quickly destroy Chu with the main force." Although Han Xin cursed when Guan Ying was transferred, he put the blame on the advisers of the Wing Camp and did not think that this was Heifu's restraint on him.
.
Zhao Yan smiled: "General, have you ever heard of a saying: when the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden; when a cunning rabbit dies, a lackey is cooked!"
Although Han Xin did not read much when he was young, he had heard about the affairs of Wuyue, which was adjacent to his hometown: "This is what Fan Li said to encourage Wen Zhong..."
"Of course."
Zhao Yandao said: "In those days, Fan Li, a great official, lived and died in Vietnam. He dominated Gou Jian and became famous. However, Wen Zhong died, and Fan Li only escaped to survive. The birds were shot but the good bow was hidden, the wild beasts were dead but the hunting dogs were cooked. The general was the hand of Duke Xia.
The strongest bow in the world, the fastest and most ferocious hound under his command, now the six kingdoms have been wiped out, and the whole world is in this situation!"
He lowered his voice and said: "Why not, as a teacher, it is hard to use, leaving behind generations, the Xiongnu, and even the 'Fusu' in the northeast."
Han Xin stood up as he slapped the case, his eyes widened: "You mean, you should respect yourself when raising bandits!?"
Zhao Yan said: "A man should not lose his power for a day. This is just to be on guard against unexpected events in the future."
"As Li Zuoche said, it would be unfavorable to fight against the Xiongnu in winter. There are three enemies in Hebei, and Xia Gong cannot defeat them in a short time. Although there are many generals under his command, they have to guard the lands of Qi, Chu, Han and Wei, and Yan and Zhao still have to
Rely on the general's defense. In this way, the general can survive on his own, maintain his military power, and not encircle or suppress him, so that he can continue to ask for money and food from Duke Xia, and establish his popularity in Yan and Zhao..."
But Han Xin shook his head: "No, Xia Gong treated me very kindly. He carried me in his car, clothed me in his clothes, fed me in his food, and even married me in his niece. I heard that he took me in his car.
Those who carry people's troubles, those who clothe people with clothes, worry about others, and those who eat people and eat them will die. Even Li Zuoche knows that we should deal with the Huns with the same enemy. How can I make this because of your unfounded speculation?
Such an act goes against general morals!"
He pointed to the sky and said: "I have never let Mr. Xia down! I never did before, and I never will in the future!"
Zhao Yan spoke eagerly: "Bai Qi never disappointed King Zhao of Qin by being on the battlefield; Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu and retreated the Qin troops to Han and Wei, and never disappointed King Zhao Qian; when Xia Gong was the general of Qin, he came from the north
From Jiaodong to Lingnan, I never let Emperor Qin Shi Huang down!"
"But these three people will eventually turn against each other. Either the king will kill his ministers, or the ministers will turn against their king!"
Han Xin still refused: "I am different from them, I am Xia Gongzhi..."
"The general thinks he is Duke Xia's nephew-in-law? So he is safe?"
Zhao Yan sneered and said: "I heard that those who bravely shake the master are in danger, but those who have made great contributions to the world will not be rewarded. Does the general really believe that this relationship can maintain peace for a lifetime? In the past, when Xia Gong was favored by Qin Shi Huang, didn't he always
Are we carefully preparing our retreat and preparing countless caves in Jiaodong, Lingnan and other places? Otherwise, how can we start an incident in one day and have several counties respond to it, and finally accomplish a great cause!"
Han Xin was silent, and after a long time he stood up with bare feet:
"The reason why I believe in Mr. Xia is not just because of this kinship that was formed later, but because of Mr. Xia himself..."
He looked outside the tent, where there was a sharp cold wind in Yishui, but Han Xin remembered his first meeting with Xia Gong five years ago in Lingnan, which was extremely hot all year round and had lush vegetation.
"Therefore, those who are ambitious in the military must want to be generals and look for the title of marquis. Those who do not want to be generals have short ambitions..."
At that time, the dark-faced general patted him on the shoulder and said so.
"Xia Gong expressed my deep ambition in just one sentence!"
"At that time, I was just a little general with little ability and a Huaiyin husband with a bad reputation..."
"Even though I am like this, Duke Xia ignored all opinions and made me a Sima. He gave me the important task of destroying Ou Luo and ending the Southern Expedition!"
Han Xin's originally depressed expression suddenly relaxed and was replaced by emotion and memories.
"Xia Gong also said that I am Qi Ji and can leap thousands of miles. He believes that in time, I will also become a general!"
"Han Xin will never forget what happened that day!"
"Therefore, from that day on, I knew that Xia Gong was determined in his heart that I would become a world-renowned general and make outstanding achievements for him!"
"And Han Xin also believes that Duke Xia is my lord who will not die easily!"
"Therefore, I will never repeat what happened to Duke Xia and the First Emperor."
"I can only be Xia Gong's general, just like Li Xin is loyal to Qin Shihuang!"
"This is Han Xin's letter!"
Zhao Yan wanted to persuade him again, but Han Xin stopped him:
"Zhao Yan, I know that your suggestions are all for my sake, but if you mention this again, I will disregard the friendship we have had for the past two years and punish you for alienation!"
"Since the general is so easy to trust, he can do what he wants..."
Zhao Yan sighed, bowed and stepped back.
And Han Xin’s military order was also spread to the entire army and commanders and commanders:
"Within one month, Ji City will be captured! All the lands of the Six Kingdoms will be returned to Xia!"
"On the winter solstice, it is Xia Gong's thirty-seventh birthday."
"And Huanghuang Yandu is a congratulatory gift from Han Xin and the Northern Army!"
