Han Xin, strictly speaking, should be called "Gongsun Xin".
Although Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin, was called "the king's grandson" by Piao's mother, she thought he was a declining noble. But in fact, Han Xin was also confused about his life experience: his father died young and he had no memory at all. He only knew that his family might be rich.
But what's the use? When I was young, my mother died and couldn't be buried. She could only be buried on a high hill in the wilderness. For the next ten years, she lived a precarious life and was a real commoner in Guizhou.
But this Gongsun Xin was the evil grandson of King Xiang of Han. As evidenced by his genealogy, he was an upright nobleman. He was born with gold in his mouth. Unfortunately, Korea died twenty years ago. The sacrifice of the ancestral temple was for
With the diligence of his mother, Gongsun Xin also became a commoner.
But Gongsun Xin has always been resentful about the death of Korea. Sixteen years ago, when he was just an adult, he participated in the riots in Zhengdi. He wanted to recapture Wang'an of Han and restore Korea. He also lobbied Zhang Liang, hoping that the Zhang family would participate.
However, Zhang Liang saw that the Qin State was strong at that time and would definitely fail, so he rejected Gongsun Xin. Sure enough, the Xinzheng attack failed, and the Korean resistance was wiped out by the Qin army. King An of Han was also killed, and Gongsun Xin became a wanted criminal.
He had to go into exile.
Many years later, when he heard that Qin Shihuang had collapsed and that the south and east were in chaos, he sneaked back to Korea and hid in the home of a wealthy family in Kunyang City.
After hearing the news that "the Chu army has defeated Huaiyang and will march to Yingchuan to restore Korea", they began to prepare for the uprising.
Unexpectedly, a traitor was found among them, and the matter was exposed, so they had to rush to revolt in advance. If the "rebels" hadn't happened to arrive outside the city, Gongsun Xin would have died a violent death.
But it was not until he met the general named "Han Xin" that Gongsun Xin realized that it was the Northern Expeditionary Army that came, not the Chu Army...
Seeing that Gongsun Xin kept saying "restore Korea", Han Xin changed his face and had people capture him on the spot and imprison him in a prison in Kunyang City. The Koreans who were involved in the uprising in the city also had their weapons taken away and were taken as prisoners by the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Watch.
"Then the so-called Northern Expeditionary Army is still in Jianghan? Why did it suddenly come to Yingchuan, thousands of miles away?"
In the past two months, the world situation has changed too fast. Gongsun Xin suffered the loss of delayed news. Just when he was secretly regretting it, the prison door opened.
But Li Cangxiao walked in, carrying a wine flask, and the soldiers behind him were carrying dishes, with a smile on his face.
"I really offended Gongsun!"
Gongsun Xin had the arrogance of a nobleman and sneered: "This captain, could you bring me a decapitation meal?"
Li Cang looked surprised: "Why do you see that?"
Gongsun Xin said: "I know it. You claim to be the Northern Expedition of Jingnan, but you still claim to be the officials of Qin and the army of Qin. And we Koreans want to restore Korea. When we meet here, it is like a rabbit meets a hunting dog. Under the paws
Is there any reason to survive?”
Li Cang shook his head: "Gongsun, I misunderstood, I misunderstood."
He asked someone to loosen the shackles of Gongsun Xin, put the food and wine on the table, and said to him:
"General Han Xin, who has the same name as Gongsun and the same family name, is good at fighting and often makes surprise attacks, but he is straightforward and does not know how to adapt. I am different from him. I am a descendant of Wuzhonghou's old tribe. I have followed the prince for several years and am his confidant.
My minister, there are some things that Marquis Wu Zhong asked me secretly, and General Han doesn’t know about it either.”
Li Cang pushed the wine to Gongsun Xin: "To be honest, Gongsun, we came to Yingchuan really to help restore Korea!"
Gongsun Xin laughed: "Hei Fu wants to help Korea restore? I remember, he is the son-in-law of Ye Teng, the old thief who destroyed Korea. This is really a raccoon slave paying New Year's greetings to a mouse. Lieutenant Li, do you think I am a three-year-old child? I am so easy to deceive.
?”
Li Cang was helpless. Although he was nearly ten years younger than Gongsun Xin, he spoke in an old-fashioned manner: "Gongsun, Gongsun, you are indeed like a three-year-old child. In order to restore the country, you have been in exile for more than ten years. You should have experienced the world. I really think that this
Are all things in the world black and white?"
He took a sip of wine and stood up and said: "The prince does not call himself the king, but still regards himself as a Qin official, under the banner of the Northern Expedition to Jingnan. This is his difficulty. In the old Southern Expedition Army, there were also many generals in Guanzhong,
Otherwise, they will not sincerely follow the king."
"But in fact, it is really difficult for the Northern Expedition Army to fight against the Qin Army alone. I gave the prince a plan, that is, to find a way to restore Zhao, Wei and Han in the Central Plains, and to establish more party members to share the pressure of the Northern Expedition Army.
. Gongsun, we came north to rescue the Korean people, and to find a descendant of the Korean king with fame and status, to set up the flag of Korea, and to fight against the violent Qin together!"
Li Cang turned around, pointed at Gongsun Xin and said: "It was a coincidence that I met Gongsun just after entering Yingchuan. In my opinion, Gongsun is the evil grandson of King Xiang of Han Dynasty. He has always been famous, gathered thousands of people, and insisted on resisting the Qin Dynasty.
For many years, he has cooperated with our army in Kunyang to defeat the Yingchuan Army and has made great achievements. He is the most suitable candidate!"
Gongsun Xin was not stupid. He felt that Li Cang was deceiving him with sweet words and had other agendas, so he just drank by himself and said nothing.
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Li Cang smiled and said: "In any case, Yingchuan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Right now, our army is the only one, dealing with Gongsun and the Qin army, like two fish in a dry rut. No matter what happened before or after, this time
At this moment, we should put aside our past grudges, stay together through thick and thin, and fight against Qin. We should never beg for a sword at any time, because we don’t know how to adapt.”
Gongsun Xin put down his wine cup and said, "We have been together through thick and thin. This is true. In my opinion, Lieutenant Li feels that your troops alone are not enough to contend with the tens of thousands of enemies around him. He wants the help of the Koreans, so he wants to form an alliance with me."
?”
"An alliance?"
Li Cang rolled his eyes, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Gongsun, Gongsun, you are such a smart man! That's right, it's an alliance!"
"It's not impossible to form an alliance, but I have conditions." Gongsun jumped with confidence, but he was also sure that the other party was going deep into Yingchuan alone and wanted help from the locals, so he simply raised the price.
"First, release the Koreans under my command. Second, return the weapons and give us food for another month. Third, can Kunyang City be handed over to us? Fourth, we are not subordinates of Marquis Wu Zhong.
They can cooperate to resist the Qin army, but they will not listen to the orders of General Han to fill ravines for him."
Unexpectedly, Li Cang agreed immediately!
"Okay! All the Korean righteous soldiers should be free. The soldiers and food captured by our army from the Yingchuan Army can be distributed to Gongsun. Is the food for three months and two thousand suits of armor enough? In addition, in addition to Kunyang and Wuyang,
The city is also the land of Korea, and it should also be handed over to Gongsun."
Gongsun Xin was stunned. He was ready to bargain, but Li Cang not only agreed, but also tried his best to squeeze him more benefits.
"As for listening to the tune..."
Li Cang smiled and said: "In this way, the two armies will do their own thing. Our army will go west to attack Fucheng and Jiaxian to stop the Qin army in Sanchuan. Gongsun will go north to cross the Ru River to attack Xiangcheng. We have agreed to meet in mid-September.
The county governs Yangzhai!"
The capital of South Korea was Xinzheng, but it suffered huge damage before and after its demise. Now the Yingchuan County seat has been moved to Yangzhai County.
"The soldiers of Yingchuan County either went east to Huaiyang or were buried in Kunyang. Most of them have been destroyed. Yangzhai is empty. As long as the Koreans in the city respond, they can be easily captured!"
Li Cang held up his palms very happily and said: "If Gongsun can cooperate with the Northern Expedition to capture Yingchuan, and one day Wu Zhonghou defeats Wang Ben, enters Guanzhong, closes the Han Valley, and shares the world with the heroic princes of Guandong, then,
Gongsun Xin is the perfect choice for King Han!"
…
After deceiving Gongsun Xin into doubting his belief, Li Cang came to the city where the generals were meeting, but Han Xin turned away everyone and said somewhat unhappily:
"Captain Li, I know everything you said to Gongsun Xin!"
"A soldier never tires of deceit, General Han."
Li Cang looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Don't generals often use tricks?"
Han Xin shook his head: "Having said that, in the past few months, people have often asked Wu Zhonghou to give him the title of king, or to persuade him to call him King of Chu or King Xuan, but they all refused... As for those who restored the country,
The kings and princes will not be complicit in the conspiracy."
"Captain Keli told the Han... letter that the monarch supported the restoration of Korea, and even promised to separate Shaanxi from the heroic state of Shandong in the future. If these words are spread, it may damage the morale of our army and make people
If you doubt the ambition of your ruler, you must not talk nonsense!"
Looking at this young general with a serious face, Li Cang was amused: "The general is full of tricks when fighting, but why is he so straightforward when he is not fighting?"
He was a confidant brought up by Heifu, and he firmly believed that if Wu Zhonghou was here, in order to protect his own side to the greatest extent and win, he would not stick to these details.
"This strategy was proposed by General Han, but if we don't use deceit, I'm afraid Gongsun won't obey."
Those words, such as restoring Korea, forming alliances, and joining forces, were all made by Li Cang to deceive Gongsun Xin!
Those grains, soldiers, and cities were also deliberately promised to Gongsun Xin to strengthen his power.
"Otherwise, how could we trick Gongsun Xin into staying in Yingchuan, mobilizing the Koreans to rebel, and even attacking Yangzhai in the north, so as to attract the Nanyang army for us?"
