The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Lu Bu's earth-shattering shout stunned Xiang Yu and Han Xin who were talking.

Their minds suddenly turned away from the topic just now, and they all stepped forward to ask: "Is Fengxian awake?"

Surrounded by the two people with concerned faces, Lu Bu, who had often been groaned by Gao Fuyi because of his drunkenness, felt a little uncomfortable.

It's like being surrounded by people watching monkey tricks!

Although his head was still a little groggy, he finally woke up.

Before the two of them could approach again, Lu Bu slowly got off the bed and said suspiciously, "Your Majesty and... what are you discussing, Brother Han?"

Just as Han Xin was about to explain, Xiang Yu, who had always been taciturn, spoke first and said calmly: "This is what Fengxian is most concerned about."

What...is he most concerned about?

Lu Bu was stunned on the spot.

Even he didn't know why, but his eyes subconsciously fell on the expressionless Xiang Hanzi first.

The moment the two people's eyes met, Xiang Yu's eyes slightly wavered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Bu, after being stunned for a while, suddenly turned his head away like a cat with its tail permed.

Damn it, I'm afraid I didn't get the stupidity from this fool!

Lu Bu thought angrily: Otherwise, why would he be thinking of the strange things in the woods that day instead of the head he has been thinking about most since he was born hundreds of years ago?

After Jian Xiandi was stunned for a moment, he pulled out a subtle smile. Although Han Xin felt something was strange, he didn't think much about it at this time.

He smiled slightly and nodded: "The terrain of the two counties of Bashu is complex, with rugged mountain roads and dangerous passes. Moreover, Liu Mo is a very talented general. It will be difficult for him to win the battle quickly."

If the battle line is stretched too long, it will be extremely detrimental to subsequent supplies - especially when compared with the Chu army on the expedition, the Han army has already taken shape and has considerable savings in food and fodder.

In fact, both Xiang and Han knew very well that the Chu Emperor had only been on the throne for a few months, and there were foreign tribes in the north who were ready to move. It was by no means the best time to attack Bashu.

However, Fengxian had almost no desires or desires, his only obsession was to kill Liu Bang with his bare hands.

In this case, even though 80% of them ended up with more losses than gains, the two of them tacitly discussed the westward attack for most of the night.

As soon as Han Xin said this, he was already thinking about how to reduce the demand for food and fodder for the rear base camp and how to be self-sufficient on the front line.

Xiang Yu looked at his beloved general with an expression of indifference, and suddenly he calmly threw a thunderbolt: "It's okay. It's enough to take all the food in the pass."

The fertile wilderness in Guanzhong is thousands of miles away, and it has not suffered much damage. Thanks to the careful management of the Chu officials in the past two years, it can be said to be a sufficient granary.

Even so, Xiang Yu's determination to go all the way out of the pass to store food and to go west still made Han Xin look stunned and he was shocked.

He couldn't help but think: It seems that after the bloody feud between him and his wise brother, even His Majesty didn't know when he started to hate him deeply.

He would rather pay a heavy price than allow Liu Bang to stick to one place and become king.

"When we send out troops in the future, Feng will be the first general, Xin will be the second general, and as for the last general..."

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment, then asked directly: "Is it possible to be successful?"

It's just a desperate Liu mouse, not to mention the last general. In Lu Bu's opinion, there is no need to even bring a soldier!

But since this idiot had already asked, Lu Bu didn't want to refute his face, so he said without thinking: "Let's take Li's car and pick up a general from the Xiang family."

Although Lu Bu is far from sophisticated in terms of human relations and sophistication, he is definitely much more spiritual than the other two: he knows that his ministers are leading troops outside, and he is most afraid of villains taking the opportunity to slander and arouse the king's suspicion.

He thought to himself, don't look at this stupid emperor who covets his ability and handsome appearance. However, when the emperor changes his mind, he can usually change his mind faster than he can urinate and change clothes. How can he believe it!

Instead of bringing this cheap and stupid brother who is also a "Xiang family army outsider" to violate taboos and always beware of liquidation in the future, it is better to be more straightforward from the beginning and take the initiative to invite someone named Xiang to come in, so as to pacify this stupid emperor. Heart.

But as soon as these words came out, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something and his mind ran away.

But he said that he had paid a little more attention in the past few days, and soon learned that the Han Emperor's harem was actually empty except for some old Qin palace maidens.

Perhaps because Xiang Yu devoted himself to the army all the year round and was obsessed with conquests, the poppy beauty in the popular "Yu Xi Yu Xi Nai Ruo He" has disappeared to this day.

In that dazzling golden pool, there were more than a hundred... fish beauties.

After hearing Lu Bu's last words, Xiang Yu, who had a peaceful face, suddenly frowned.

He reluctantly suppressed his anger and said two words firmly to Lu Bu, who had a serious face and was in a state of confusion: "No need."

Lu Bu, who received a sharp blow inexplicably: "..."

As soon as he was killed by the eye-dagger that seemed to be an accusation, he subconsciously felt a little guilty.

Then he suddenly came to his senses and cursed in his mind that this stupid emperor was out of his mind and didn't know what was good or bad.

——I'm so kind to avoid suspicion that I even took the initiative to invite the Xiang family fool to the army for troubles that were nothing more than the emperor's spy, but I didn't ask this fool to appreciate it!

Even though the three people had different ideas, the reorganization of the army was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although Lu Bu couldn't help but add "the more, the merrier" because of his dignity that day, but if he was really asked to integrate nearly 300,000 soldiers, he would have to be one of the top and the second of the two, trying to shirk the situation in every possible way.

Han Xin was re-employed as the deputy general of his wise brother, but he did not change his position at all.

Despite the displeasure of being subordinate to the general, he was very happy and kept busy all day long.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Xiang Yu's awarding of meritorious officials and generals.

Seeing that the legion was ready to go, Han Xin finally had some free time when he broke camp and set off after the festive ceremony tomorrow.

He was hesitating between 'returning home as soon as possible and using the last day's time before going out to organize a military book' or 'looking for a wise brother to talk to' when he suddenly remembered something and his eyes froze.

In the eyes of everyone accompanying him, the expression of the unsmiling General Han suddenly changed, and he hurried into the palace without any time to explain.

——General Han, what’s going on?

Everyone looked at each other, and they saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After Han Xin got Xiang Yu to stay in the palace for a night talk that day, it must have been Xiang Yu's order, but the guards at the palace gate didn't even stop him for questioning, and just let him go.

Seeing this situation, Han Xin, who didn't know that he could still be trusted by the king, couldn't help but be stunned.

He had no time to think about it and went straight to the dungeon.

Zhang Liang and Sui He are still imprisoned in a dark prison.

There is no sun or moon in prison, and the blink of an eye seems like a thousand years.

Under Han Xin's instructions, the jailer sent insignificant letters at regular intervals along with meals, clothes, bathing water and other items.

If this were not the case, no matter how tough-minded a person is, he would feel miserable at this moment.

Compared with Sui He, who gradually adapted to this place and began to enjoy hardships, Zhang Liang was calm on the surface, but increasingly uneasy in his heart.

Han Xin's understatement before leaving always lingered in his mind.

It’s just... how long has it been since the day Han Xin declared his eastward expedition?

A look of confusion flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes.

Sui He knew there was no hope of escape, so he gradually fell silent.

At this time, the two of them were busy with their own thoughts and were relatively speechless. Except for the occasional slight sound from looking at the bamboo slips, it was almost deathly silent.

When the sound of Han Xin's footsteps came from far to near, the two of them, who had become more and more dull, would not have noticed it if they had not been so close.

"Mr. Zifang." Han Xin said politely, "How are you?"

If Lu Bu were here, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that this cheap guy who looks calm on the surface is actually very guilty and embarrassed.

Han Xin came here to persuade Zhang Liang to surrender on the eve of his first military expedition to Wei.

I originally wanted to attack Wei Yicheng, so I would return the military power and return to Xianyang to wait. The situation just happened to be settled, so I tried to persuade Zhang Liang.

Who would have thought that Xiang Yu suddenly changed his "stingy" temper, and seeing that he was successfully marching, he ordered him to continue leading his troops eastwards.

For the first time in his life, he was able to let go and do something, and he cherished it very much.

In addition to training and dispatching troops every day, he also meditated hard and made plans to attack the city and capture the territory.

As soon as I got busy, I accidentally forgot about Zhang Liang.

Later, when Banshi returned to the city, he was immersed in the fun of writing military books, and it was impossible to think of Zhang Liang, who had been completely forgotten.

Only this time, as he was about to go on an expedition, he rarely had any free time. The two seemed familiar, and he was finally reminded of Zhang Liang, who was still in prison.

Han Xin was not good at words, so this greeting was not only polite, but also secretly revealed his guilt.

However, when Zhang and Sui heard these words, they felt extremely harsh.

Zhang Liang smiled helplessly and was about to speak, but then he sneered and said coldly: "We are in the Chu prison and have you all taking good care of us. How can we be in trouble!"

Han Xin could hear the anger in his words, but his expression remained unchanged.

He only looked at Zhang Liang differently because he was a Korean, had an old friendship with him, and knew that he was extremely talented.

But he doesn't think highly of Sui He, who is just a good brother who just threw himself into prison and forgot more cleanly than Zhang Liang, let alone tolerate him?

Suiyun Danfeng nodded lightly and agreed: "That's right. Being in Chu Prison is a little better than being in Chu Cauldron."

Sui He was furious for a moment, but he didn't care about his situation of being a human being.

But when he saw the Chu general's expression was calm, but he opened his mouth to threaten to cook someone, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

If he really cared about the integrity of never surrendering, he would have wiped it off his neck the moment he was captured. Since he had lived so far, how could he be willing to lose his life just because of a single angry word?

After blocking Suihe's mouth with one sentence, Han Xin looked at Zhang Liang again with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Xin is about to go on an expedition again, so I came here to inform Mr. Zifang."

Zhang Liang had a thought, silently raised his eyes, and looked steadily at Han Xin, who had a calm face.

Han Xinwu said to himself: "The world has been completely settled and belongs to Emperor Chu."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang's lips moved slightly, but he turned pale with shock!

A thunderbolt struck Chad, and the two of them were so excited that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

But whether it was Zhang Liang or Sui He, they all instinctively chose to believe it the moment they heard the news.

When the two were silent, Han Xin thought for a moment, then took off the dagger from his waist and threw it into prison.

Zhang Liang lowered his eyes and stared at the exquisite dagger, suddenly lost in thought.

Han Xin said concisely and concisely: "When Xin comes back victorious, if Mr. Zifang is still here...then Xin is willing to use his wealth and life to recommend Mr. to your Majesty, in exchange for Mr. Han's appointment in Han County."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xin stopped talking and walked out without hesitation.

After just ten steps, Zhang Liang's voice suddenly came from behind.

Zhang Liang's voice was hoarse and he asked with a sigh: "General

If you work hard like this, you won't be afraid of the day when the birds run out of bows and hide, and the enemy is defeated and about to die? "

Han Xin smiled.

He did not look back, and his steps never slowed down for a moment. He only replied calmly: "Only a mediocre leader will be jealous of a capable minister. I am not as trustworthy and powerful as your Majesty. I only have some experience in sending troops to fight... So, why should we be afraid?”
