The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

On this day, Xiang Yu, Lu Bu and Fan Zeng discussed in the palace for a long time until late at night before resting.

Early the next morning, in order to stabilize the hearts of the heroes and generals who were inevitably a little restless due to his hurried departure from the capital for nearly a month, Xiang Yu ordered a banquet to be held in the south hall of Xianyang Palace to entertain the princes and ministers.

Everyone knew that the reason why Xiang Yu held a banquet at this time also hinted that he would formally reward meritorious deeds in the near future, so everyone had their own thoughts, but they all showed that they were happy to attend the banquet.

In such a large crowd, only Lu Bu, who had no desire for an official position, finally had no important things to do, and was not afraid of being delayed by drinking, and Han Xin, who had expectations in this regard but was just prepared to let things be arranged, could still concentrate on tasting. There was good wine and good food, and everyone cared less about the wine.

Because the Emperor of Chu had a cold look and a serious dignity, he never showed his face even during the banquet, just as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Although the ministers wanted to praise and flatter him, they were unable to speak. They had to find another way to test the king's favorite Lu Bu.

At first Lu Bu listened patiently and said a few perfunctory words.

Later, he was annoyed many times and bothered him to taste the long-lost wine. He simply lowered his face and released a murderous aura that was no less powerful than Xiang Yu's. He said bluntly: "Your Majesty's thoughts are as profound as his majesty." How can I guess so easily? If you really want to know more clearly, is there someone who knows better than Your Majesty at this table?"

Sima Xin was speechless by these straightforward words, his face turned blue and white, and he seemed to hear everyone snickering in his ears, and he couldn't help but completely annoyed Lu Bu.

Lu Bu lived a lot of grievances in his last life. If he could earn his whole life in vain, how could he have to deal with grievances against a mere Sima Xin?

Anyway, Sima Xin looked at his old arms and legs, and if he got angry and hardened, he was no match for him.

Lu Bu snorted lazily.

He was about to add insult to injury and say a few more sarcastic remarks, which would have the effect of killing the chicken and scare the monkey, when he suddenly thought of something.

As soon as he thought about it, the next moment he gave Sima Xin, who had a face full of suppressed anger, a glance that contained disdain, pride and arrogance.

But to outsiders, Lu Da Sima's look was quite a bit majestic and enigmatic.

Unexpectedly, the majestic General Lu was thinking - 'Besides, the idiot who is really in charge is coveting my beauty, so how can he speak for this old man! ’

Thinking of this, although Lu Bu still felt a little bit dissatisfied about the loss that day, he couldn't help but feel very happy.

While enjoying his wine tasting, he also took care of the cheap guy sitting next to him.

Han Xin was a little embarrassed at first, but he was deeply touched that his wise brother cared for him so much.

However, he was very keen and soon realized that every time the wise brother patted him on the back without knowing the importance of it, he said it was to help him drink, but in fact, he would choke on the drink. The wine with the strongest aroma...

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his wise brother's act of 'stealing wine' as if nothing had happened. Han Xin shook his head in confusion, but he chose to condone it without hesitation and did not expose it out loud.

Also witnessing this scene was Xiang Yu, who was sitting on the main seat and looking at his sweetheart frequently.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu frowned deeply, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he summoned the palace servants and gave a few deep instructions. After a while, several jars of fine wine were fetched and added to Lu Bu's side.

Seeing this, Han Xin quickly nudged the wise brother, who had his eyes narrowed and a serious look on his face, not knowing what to think. He urged in a low voice: "Your Majesty has given me wine, good brother, please go and thank me."

No thanks, no thanks!

Lu Bu thought of how he had been chewed out several times that day. Looking at the fool's obvious behavior to please him, he couldn't be satisfied.

He didn't want to offend this cheap guy, so he changed his mind and decisively lay down on the low table, pretending to be drunk.

Han Xin didn't know that the wise brother was obviously half-drunk, so he would act like this.

He smiled helplessly and fondly, and was about to say a few more words of advice when Xiang Yu, who had been speechless, suddenly stood up and said calmly: "Everyone, continue."

After saying these words simply and neatly, Xiang Yu actually left the table first.

After the Emperor of Chu left the banquet, the enthusiasm for drinking at the banquet inevitably increased. Some of the courtiers who had been reluctant to hold on to the banquet finally dared to drink freely.

After a while, the banquet was filled with drunken people who were dissolute and dissolute.

Han Xin was not a good drinker, nor was he particularly keen on food, but he drank a lot of it without knowing it.

When he felt a little full in his stomach, he immediately stopped and looked at the wise brother next to him who had changed from pretending to be drunk to being really drunk. He spread his limbs limply and spread out on the ground, and couldn't help but laugh.

When he was about to personally carry his wise brother back to the palace, several guards suddenly came forward and stopped him politely: "Your Majesty has ordered that drunken people can rest in the palace and wait until they sober up tomorrow before leaving the palace and returning." Mansion."

Han Xin shook his head without thinking, "Don't bother."

Although he is not good at martial arts, he is still in the army and is still awake at the moment. Although it is difficult to carry the drunken brother on his back, it is not impossible.

Moreover, there were many people attending the banquet this time, and many of them acted absurdly while drunk.

In order to prevent his wise brother from being plotted by an adulterer while he was unconscious, he had better watch over him carefully.

The guard was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Han Xin to say goodbye like this. He didn't know what to do next.

When they were in trouble because of the secret order from His Majesty, Han Xin had already struggled to carry his virtuous brother, who seemed heavier after being drunk, but fortunately his limbs were still solid, and carried him one step at a time.

He walked slowly outside.

After leaving the palace gate, there is a car waiting for you, it's not that far away.

Before Han Xin could walk even ten steps away, he heard a heavy and orderly sound of footsteps coming from behind him. From far to near, people in front of him showed surprise on their faces and bowed down one after another.

Han Xin was slightly stunned, and turned around subconsciously, only to see that Emperor Xiang Yu of Chu, who was the first to leave the table, had left and returned without knowing why!

Xiang Yu naturally took Lu Bu from Han Xin's back. After a moment's hesitation, he used his arms to hold Lu Bu in the most comfortable position for him to continue his nap.

After hugging him, he calmly looked at Han Xin, who looked stunned, and said calmly: "Follow me into the palace."

Han Xin nodded blankly and followed Xiang Yu numbly.

The virtuous brother who had a hard time carrying him actually seemed extremely light in the hands of Xiang Yu, who was the most powerful in the world.

It seemed that Han Xin was both impressed and worried.

Xiang Yu's steps were steady but extremely fast. After a while, he led Han Xin and others to... the emperor's bedroom.

After seeing the words on the plaque clearly, Han Xin was surprised again, and he couldn't help but feel thousands of emotions in his heart.

The overlord wins the world's domination, and the wise brother is indeed the one who takes the most credit.

Fortunately, the overlord also had deep faith and never let down his loyalty and courage. He not only gladly accepted the wise brother's advice several times, but was also willing to let him sleep soundly on the side of his bed.

After Xiang Yu entered the palace, he hesitated a little.

He hesitated for a moment between the main hall and the side hall, but in the end he only carried the person to the side hall, and then placed Han Xin there.

But after putting the person down, he didn't leave in a hurry.

In Han Xin's eyes, Xiang Yu's eyes were deep, looking at his wise brother who was immersed in a drunken dream, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly he said as if talking to himself: "Do you know why I can win the world today?"

If it were anyone else, they would definitely seize this great opportunity to flatter and flatter, praise the power of the Chu army, praise His Majesty for his bravery, praise the soldiers as godlike, praise the virtuous and capable...

But in this palace, apart from the palace attendants guarding the door, the only one in the palace was Han Xin, who was also looking at Lu Bu's sleeping state.

Although Han Xin was confused by this inexplicable question, he still said frankly: "It is because your majesty has a good brother as your humerus to assist you."

He spent far more time in the Chu camp than Lu Bu.

The reason why he left feeling disheartened and disappointed that day was simply because he saw through Xiang Yu's fatal weakness.

Knowing that he is headstrong, nepotistic, cruel and violent, short-sighted, and has no sympathy for the people...

Even though he has unparalleled courage in the world, he will eventually end up dead.

Han Xin always firmly believed that all the changes in the future came from his virtuous brother.

The country is easy to change, but the original nature is difficult to change.

Looking back on the past now, he still feels a little incredible.

I am afraid that only Xiandi, who is equally unparalleled in the world, can conquer Xiang Yu's stubborn temper.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu not only wasn't annoyed, but actually smiled, which was rare.

He lightly raised the corners of his lips, turned around, looked directly at Han Xin, who looked calm, and said in a deep voice: "I think so too."

Han Xin's face did not change, and when he was thinking carefully about the authenticity of his words, Xiang Yu suddenly spoke again and said indifferently: "Sit down."

He actually looked like he wanted to have a long talk with Han Xin.

Although Han Xin led troops across several countries and made outstanding military exploits, he was neither a trusted general who was born in Jiangdong and had followed Xiang Yu for many years, nor was he a confidant like his wise brother who came from behind and miraculously became the most popular with Xiang Yu.

In addition, he is good at planning for the army, but not good at planning for himself, and he does not know what it is to seek officialdom.

At this critical moment before the reward, while others were busy making friends and actively operating, he was always focused on studying and writing military books behind closed doors. He rarely even entered the palace, and he made a special trip to Xiang Yu to perform?

After returning to Xianyang, at the urging of his younger brother, he handed over the military talisman and returned his military power. Except for the day when his younger brother urged him to enter the palace to say a few dry congratulations to Xiang Yu who was about to proclaim himself emperor, he only had his younger brother to stay with him. Book, that time when I entered the palace in shock.

This was actually the first time that Xiang Yu, who had always been arrogant, invited him to talk so peacefully and intimately.

Han Xin was startled for a moment, but his expression remained calm. After a slight nod of thanks, he sat down.

Lu Bu had no idea about this night conversation between the two.

In his sleep, he galloped on his horse, killing with all his heart. He was about to catch the hateful Liu Mouse and cut him into pieces. When he was laughing proudly, a very familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

Even the conversation felt vaguely familiar to him.

It seems that the stupid emperor is asking: "...how many tricks can I do?"

It seemed that he was saying in his cheap and naive way: "Your Majesty, the more soldiers you have, the better your ears will be."

Just when he felt a little relieved in a hazy way, secretly thinking that this fool was actually much better than that fool emperor, and had learned the essence of flattery and flattery without any teacher, he heard the fool emperor say, "Well" ' After a cry, he asked again: "What's wrong with you?"

However, I heard that Han Xin was relaxed and free-spirited, but his words were extremely arrogant: "The more ministers you have, the better your ears will be."

——How dare this fool brag so shamelessly in front of him while he was sleeping!

Lu Bu's anger arose in his heart, and he opened his eyes suddenly. Before he regained consciousness, he couldn't help but said angrily: "The more I have, the better my ears will be!"
