Now that he had clues about Han Xin's whereabouts, Lin Ze tightened his grip and kept urging the villagers to run faster, hoping to find Han Xin as soon as possible and avoid making any more mistakes.
For Lin Ze, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and Liu Ji were tied together, and Han Xin was not as important as Han Xin. It was not that they were inferior, but that the strength and reputation of the Bingxian were too strong.
Throughout the history of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin played an indispensable role. Without Han Xin's strategizing, he would have eliminated Xiang Yu's main force bit by bit, and finally laid an ambush on all sides to defeat Xiang Yu in one fell swoop. Liu Bang would not have founded the country and ascended the throne as emperor. With him,
With such talent, I am afraid that I will end up being the King of Hanzhong throughout my life.
If Lin Ze could subdue Han Xin, use Hu Hai's name, gradually accumulate strength, and then break through and become a master, then he would be invincible in the world.
With Han Xin's ability to lead troops, he could lead the Qin warriors who could sweep the world. Liu Ji and Xiang Ji would go to hell.
Including the one, two, three and four mentioned by Zhang Liang before, they were all trivial matters to Lin Ze. They were nothing more than supporting Hu Hai to take office, killing Fusu, and enacting nationwide reforms.
The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses. Throughout history, Lin Ze found this sentence the most recognized. Even the emperor Taizu of the Chinese Dynasty said: Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
As for other things, the so-called people's hearts and minds, once you conquer the world by force, and then slowly win over people's hearts through a series of means. People are forgetful, and no matter how great the hatred is, it will last for tens or hundreds of years, etc.
Almost all the deaths I have experienced personally are gone, so there is not much left.
As Lin Ze rode forward, he asked the young villager: "When did you see Han Xin leaving? Did he ride a horse or bring anything else?"
The young villager pondered for a moment and replied: "It must have been three o'clock in Shenshi. He didn't ride a horse and only brought a baggage."
Lin Ze looked at the moon that was emitting faint moonlight in the sky. Based on the moon's trajectory, he concluded that it was probably around three quarters of the hour. In other words, Han Xin had only been gone for almost an hour.
According to Lin Ze's understanding, Han Xin's martial arts cultivation level is not high, he is only at the second level, and he has never ridden a horse, so his speed should not be too fast.
According to historical records, Han Xin was humiliated by the old woman because the old woman thought that he was a big man and could not even afford a meal. From this, it can be inferred that Han Xin was very poor now.
Han Xin had been in poverty in Huaiyin for more than a day or two, so it was inferred that he had no relatives or friends to whom he could seek refuge.
If a person has no money, no one to turn to, and cannot find a good place to go in a short period of time, then the places he may go are very limited.
Lin Ze decisively asked the villagers: "Are there any abandoned temples or Taoist temples nearby?"
The young villager thought for a while and replied: "Since Emperor Qin ordered the destruction of Buddha, the three nearby temples have been abandoned. Why do you ask this?"
Lin Ze said happily: "Take me there quickly. If Han Xin has no other place to go, he will definitely live in a ruined temple."
------Dividing line------
In the main hall of the ruined temple, Han Xin gathered some firewood and lit a fire in front of the Buddha statue, roasting a rabbit he had just caught. While he was waiting hungrily for the rabbit to be roasted, he felt full of sadness and cruelty.
He cursed his dead old ghost master.
When he was young, a wandering alchemist passed by Han Xin's house and wanted to ask for a drink of water. Han Xin's parents felt sorry for him, so they not only poured him water, but also gave him some steamed buns.
Unexpectedly, when the alchemist saw Han Xin, he insisted on saying that he was a martial arts wizard, and wanted to accept him as a disciple and teach him all his skills. However, the rules of the master's school stipulated that Han Xin must be taken away from home to teach him. Naturally, Han Xin's parents were not happy that their son was taken away.
.
But the wandering alchemist did not give up, and directly demonstrated his cultivation of the fifth level of martial arts. Even the county magistrate at that time was alarmed, and came to persuade Han Xin's parents to put their children's future achievements first, and that it would not be too late to fulfill their filial piety when Han Xin returned from his studies.
.
Finally, Han Xin's parents thought about it and agreed to allow the wandering alchemist to take Han Xin away for a period of ten years. The wandering alchemist would train Han Xin for ten years before letting him go home.
Han Xin later found out that the wandering alchemist was actually a descendant of a contemporary military strategist, and what he had been taught to him was the "Secret Essentials of Sun Wu", the top military strategist's technique.
As the saying goes, the secret key to success and the secret key to failure is to master the "Secret Key to Sun Wu" and be able to advance to the master level. The famous military masters in history, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, and Sun Bin, all relied on this technique.
, and finally became a great master, shocking the world.
However, if this secret is to be practiced successfully, the cultivator must continuously lead troops to fight in order to improve quickly. If there is no battle, he will be like Han Xin's ghost master, who will only be a fifth-level martial arts beginner until his death.
What makes Han Xin feel very helpless is that once this secret is practiced, a military aura will be formed in the body, and this military aura is directly locked to the Dantian. If the method is changed again, it will be difficult to break through to the fourth level in his life.
realm.
After Han Xin jumped into this pit, he found that he could not climb out. Even if the damn master died, he would still be cursed by Han Xin.
Han Xin, who had never experienced any battle, had practiced for more than ten years before he could reach the peak of the second rank. He could not even break through the threshold of the third rank. Even if he joined the army, he would not be able to do anything at all, and he would not be able to meet the military strategist's requirements for a successor.
Likewise, it is impossible to practice by condensing the power of military attacks.
What makes Han Xin even more sad is that during the ten years since he was away from home, his parents unfortunately contracted serious diseases and passed away. The fields at home have long since become the property of others, and he has lost even his last source of livelihood.
With Han Xin's intelligence, he can naturally guess that his family's land has been usurped by others, but they are a local wealthy family, so it's fine if he doesn't fight for it. If he really wants to argue, he can just assume that he is a second-grade cultivation level.
One day he will die in the wilderness.
With nowhere to make a living, I can only shamelessly eat and drink here and there, and even resort to fishing to fill my stomach. What the old woman said today is right. I can't even eat, so how can I say that I will have something to eat in the future?
Thousands of gold in return.
Thinking of this, Han Xin felt even more sad. Looking at the Buddha statues in the temple covered with dust and spider webs, he couldn't help but sigh: "Buddha, Buddha, you and I are both fallen people. If you have a spirit in heaven, you can
Please bless me, Han Xin, to be rich and powerful. When I become rich, can I come back and rebuild your golden body?"
At this time, a sentence suddenly sounded outside: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others; it is better to ask for help than for me to pray to Buddha."
Han Xin turned around and saw a young man walking in with four people.
Lin Ze asked the villager: "Is he Han Xin?"
The villagers nodded immediately: "That's him."
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile and said: "I finally found you, Han Xin."
Many years later, when Han Xin, who had been awarded the title of Marquis after many years of hard work, recalled today's scene, he couldn't help but lament how lucky he was to have met the man of his life - Lin Ze.
