The Conqueror Isn’t Alone
Chapter 96 Chapter 96 When Zhang Liangyi finished speaking, Han Xin had no intention of...
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Han Xin said without hesitation: "If you don't wait for 'the time', please come with me immediately, sir."
After all, he had forgotten the other party several times: Zhang Liang could explain his unwillingness to surrender to Chu before, but now he has made it clear that he surrendered. It would be too rude to forget him in prison again.
Zhang Liang also had this concern. Seeing Han Xin's determination, he relaxed his brows and said happily: "Thank you, General."
Han Xin shook his head, said nothing more, and ordered the jailer to open the lock. After politely asking Zhang Liang to come out, he seemed to remember that there was still someone in the prison.
Then he looked at Sui He, who had a dilemma on his face. He didn't know whether he should continue to put on airs and obey God's will like Zhang Liang did and return to the Chu Kingdom. He said lightly: "What about you?"
Sui He continued to struggle on his face, and finally gritted his teeth, leaned over and saluted willingly: "...If I am not abandoned, He is willing to serve the Emperor of Chu. I would like to ask the general to recommend him."
What he knew very well was that Han Xin came to prison in person many times to persuade Zhang Liang, who had once had a friendship with him and was also a Korean.
Last time I was in a fit of anger and made rude remarks, but I was lucky enough not to be resented or humiliated. How could I dare to hope that after Zhang Liang left, someone would still come to this prison to question him?
And without Zhang Liang, the only person he could talk to, even if he was in prison he could still live a life of constant food and water and books to read, but sooner or later he would probably go crazy because of not seeing the light of day all day long.
However, Han Xin could even look down on Zhen Er who used to humiliate him with her crotch. How could he take that verbal dispute to his heart?
Seeing that two troubles were solved at once, he was in a good mood, but he didn't show it on his face.
After nodding his head as usual, he ordered Suihe to be released.
When you have an audience with the king, you should first bathe and change your clothes.
However, Han Xin was about to lead someone to his house. Before he left the palace, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure riding a tall, snow-white horse not far ahead: "Brother?"
The stupid emperor stayed in the palace and talked for most of the night on the pretext of discussing military strategies. It was not until dawn that he found Lu Bu who had escaped. Unexpectedly, he was yelled at by the cheap brother, and he was so shocked that he fell on the horse. He ran away and suddenly turned his head: "Brother Han?"
He had extraordinary eyesight and could easily recognize the two people following Han Xin even from a distance.
Full of confusion, he drove his horse up to him. A kite rolled over and slipped off his horse. He stared at Zhang Liang and Sui He with bright eyes and blurted out: "The guards of the prison were evacuated here, and even the two of them almost ran away." Take it off?"
Han Xin shook his head amusedly: "That's not the case."
Then he told the wise brother in detail about his three visits to the prison and his success in persuading the two of them to surrender.
Lu Bu's brows were furrowed tightly, and his sharp tiger eyes kept looking at the two of them, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Liang was open-minded and smiled openly, staring at him non-stop while looking back calmly.
He was extremely resourceful and knew that the reason why Xiang Yu could turn the situation around was 90% related to the person in front of him.
Sui He had never had any dealings with Lu Bu, except for the day of Zhou Yin's defeat, when the murderer in front of him personally led his troops into the mansion and caught him.
Now that he was being stared at maliciously by the pair of murderous movers, even though he had no bad intentions, he was secretly sweating, his whole body was hairy, and he could hardly resist the urge to take a few steps back.
Little did he know that General Lu, who was so impressive, was just leisurely admiring his past achievements.
I caught this with my own hands, and I also held it down with my own hands!
It's a pity that I took precautions to prevent problems before they happened and did not show any merit.
Except for the Grand Historian, no one knows how many great things I have done!
Once Lu Bu was satisfied, he looked away and looked at Han Xin, with concern on his face: "I simply have nothing to do. I am willing to accompany my brother on this journey."
How could he care about whether that fool would reuse these two former Han Army humerus?
It was just to prevent that idiot from letting the unscrupulous man tell the truth, so that the cheap old man who was already suspicious would notice the signs and cause trouble for him at this juncture.
Even if Han Xin was in a hurry, how could he know his brother's little thoughts.
Although he is not good at planning for himself, he is by no means ignorant of 'avoiding suspicion'.
It would be beneficial and harmless to have a virtuous brother who has the most trust from His Majesty around.
Han Xin pondered for a moment and then decided to accept the offer: "That's fine. Please, my dear brother, please accompany my foolish brother on this trip."
Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded gracefully, held the jade lion in one hand, and put the other hand casually on the sword on his waist. While chatting with Han Xin, he headed back to Fengxian Hall where Xiang Yu lived.
Suddenly knowing that love will come back, Xiang Yu, who had been relaxing in the bath with his eyes closed, got up without hesitation.
He felt that the servants in the palace were dressing too slowly, not even taking care of their shoes, so he just put on a hastily coat outside his inner clothes and strode towards the palace hall.
So the group of people, who had just been led to the hall and had not even had time to sit down and warm up, heard the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps approaching.
Everyone seemed to feel something, and except for Lu Bu who was still lazy, they all stood up and saluted.
Sure enough, the next person who appeared was Emperor Chu, with his wet hair casually draped, bare feet, his tall body wearing only his inner clothes and outer garments decorated with golden dragon patterns.
Everyone bowed to the ground, but Lu Bu looked shocked and stared at Xiang Yu, who looked slightly confused.
——No one dares to urge the Holy One to come out with such a disheveled appearance.
Come to see the foreign minister!
Lu Bu saw this, and for some reason he felt angry in his heart.
Xiang Yu, who thought it was just Ai Jiang who returned due to business, but missed hearing the other three people mentioned in the palace servant's words just now, was shocked in his heart, but his face was calm and dignified.
"Get up."
Xiang Yu and Lu Bu looked at each other, took their seats at the main seat, and gave orders calmly.
Everyone then stood up. When they looked up and saw the majestic Emperor Chu, who was disheveled and had wet hair, they couldn't help but feel at a loss.
If your superior behaves disrespectfully, what should your subordinates do?
Seeing this embarrassing situation, Lu Bu could only suppress the inexplicable unhappiness he felt just now and try his best to use his brain.
——It's all because this fool is so rough in his business, and only focuses on studying those nonsensical love poems!
After scolding this fool dozens of times in his mind, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Lu Bu's mind.
Got it!
He has always been quick-witted and often does whatever he wants when the mood strikes him, so this time he took advantage of the situation.
He first raised his hand to pretend to wipe away tears, and then sighed with emotion in a loud voice while everyone was watching: "When I was away at war, I once heard people say that your Majesty is wise and merciful in treating people. For fear of losing the world's most talented people, he washed his hair and held his hair three times. After eating three meals, spitting out food, walking backwards to greet each other... What more can I ask for when I have to serve such a heroic master!"
As for where he heard this, Lu Bu had long forgotten.
Xiang Yu's expression was cold, but his eyes were blank.
Where is the talent?
When did he act like this for a ‘virtuous person’?
Xiang Yu lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly calm, but in reality he was helplessly looking at his sweetheart who was in tears, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
After hearing this, Han Xin suddenly realized.
Facing the Emperor of Chu, who had an expressionless face but was already practical and thirsty for talents, he was both impressed and deeply admired.
He had never been good at flattering people, preferring to show off his skills in front of Shangguan, but at this time he bent over with sincerity and praised the silent Xiang Yu.
Even Sui He, who had been through the ups and downs for a long time and whose heart felt as calm as Zhang Liang's, and whose heart was uneasy and didn't know what the future would be like, was also touched by Emperor Chu's sincere gesture of seeking wisdom.
The original eight points were forced to comply with destiny, but quietly transformed into five points of willingness.
Lu Bu howled symbolically for a while, and after seeing that everyone had successfully fooled him, he quietly stopped.
——Ha, I am really smart!
Lu Bu thought arrogantly, how many people can be found in the world who are so quick-witted and can help fools get through any situation anytime and anywhere?
When others were unprepared, Lu Bu squinted his eyes, raised his chin triumphantly, raised his eyebrows at Xiang Hanzi, who was stunned, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Xiang Yu was aroused by this move and thought about what to say.
Han Xin, however, had a serious expression on his face and made his future intentions clear.
After learning that Zhang Liang and Sui He were both willing to surrender, Xiang Yu nodded slightly and without asking any more questions, he just said: "Han County is still short of a county governor. If my father has no arrangements for the time being, I will let you take over the job. How about it?"
Although there is no longer Korea, there is Han County.
When Zhang Liang heard these words, he felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground.
He knew very well that even if Xiang Yu dared to use him, he would never be able to abandon his confidants and use an enemy surrender, not to mention the past suspicion of Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo being tricked and allowing him to escape from prison.
Xiang Yu, who had always valued his relatives and held no grudges, was extremely gracious to allow him to return to his hometown to report on his duties.
He bowed his head and bowed deeply, pressing his cold forehead against the soft felt blanket, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty... I am willing to go."
Xiang Yu nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Sui He, who looked nervous, and said in a deep voice: "My father is short of manpower. When noon passes, go to his house and ask."
Fan Zeng has always been very kind to the available people who come to his door.
Who would have expected that Xiang Yu, who was known for his cruelty, would be so magnanimous and willing to do whatever he wanted regardless of past grudges.
He stood dumbly for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Xiang Yu said "Hmm" absently: "Please step back... I will stay here first."
Everyone did not doubt that he was there and immediately rushed out of the hall, leaving only Lu Bu.
As soon as the people left, Lu Bu, who was sitting lazily and leaning forward, acting non-threatening, suddenly changed his demeanor.
He suddenly stood up and stared at the long, wet hair on his head, letting water drip down from it, soaking most of his upper body.
But after Xiang Yu took the initiative to leave him behind, he just stared at himself silently and remained motionless for a long time.
Lu Bu frowned again and again. He couldn't bear it any longer and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know how powerful the fire in July and the wind evil can enter the body!"
Xiang Yu seemed to be thinking about something. When he heard this, he said without thinking: "How is it so powerful?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow appeared in front of his eyes the next moment.
Xiang Yu was not on guard against Lu Bu. Although he caught the black shadow from the corner of his eye, he refused to avoid it and let it hit him.
It turned out that Lu Bu had taken off his outer garment, threw it away with a stinky face, and then walked out of the palace without looking back. He only said: "If you don't dry it quickly, don't miss the opportunity to send troops!"
After that, he ran away quickly, leaving Xiang Yu in the palace.
Xiang Yu silently took off the outer garment, held it tightly in his hand, and stared at the back of his beloved general as he ran away, thoughtfully.
