Chapter 1705: Want to be a ‘shareholder’?
Will Han Xin surrender?
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Qin Hao immediately denied it subconsciously: "How is this possible? If Han Xin wanted to surrender, he would have surrendered before the war started. Why would he wait until now?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately asked doubtfully: "Why is my lord so sure?"
Qin Hao explained: "In the battle of Xianbei, Han Xin ambushed and killed the Shanyu of Xianbei and made a shocking contribution to the world, but he was betrayed by the Han court. If Liu Yu hadn't saved him, Han Xin would have died long ago.
It is unbearable for any individual to suffer such unfair treatment, let alone a hero like Han Xin.
Even if Han Xin doesn't say it, he must hate the Han Dynasty in his heart, so to a certain extent, his and my king's goals are the same, and I naturally want to win him over.
Early before the war started, the king sent envoys to persuade Han Xin to surrender and promised heavy profits, but Han Xin decisively refused. "
"Refused?"
Guo Jia looked surprised. When the Qin army unified Hebei, sooner or later the dynasty would change. This should be what Han Xin wanted to see, but why did he refuse?
"The military advisor doesn't need to think too much. Han Xin either didn't have time to burn these warehouses, or the warehouses were almost emptied. There wasn't much food and grass left in the granaries, so they didn't burn the supplies." Qin Hao briefly analyzed.
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "My Lord, although Han Xin's trip is extremely urgent, there is more than enough time to burn the supplies. In addition, whether it is the grain depot or other warehouses, more than half of the supplies are left in them, and there is no need to move them. empty phenomenon.”
"Um?"
Qin Hao couldn't help but frowned and said to himself: "Then why did Han Xin do this?"
Guo Jia seemed to have remembered something and asked quickly: "If the Lord wants Han Xin to surrender, what conditions will he give him?"
Qin Hao replied: "This king has promised to Han Xin and Han Gong, as well as Jizhou Mu, Hussar General, and Hebei Governor..."
Qin Hao is a man who loves talents and cherishes them. To win over a great talent like Han Xin, the bargaining chip offered cannot be low.
The conditions offered by Qin Hao were all important positions with real power, and any one of them was extremely lucrative. This was the biggest condition Qin Hao could give, but even so, Han Xin still refused.
Therefore, Qin Haocai subconsciously believed that Han Xin could not surrender, but wanted to fight with him to the end.
After hearing Qin Hao's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown. After a while, he relaxed and smiled lightly: "This Han Xin is really greedy."
“What does the military advisor mean by this?”
“What you want in life is nothing more than fame, fortune, power, wealth and color.
The conditions offered by the Lord to persuade him to surrender include fame, wealth, power and wealth, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
But even so, Han Xin still refused. What does this mean? "Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Qin Hao frowned: "Does it mean that Han Xin doesn't care about fame and fortune? He has no desires or desires?"
"How can this be."
Guo Jia sneered: "If Han Xin has no desires or pursuits, Na Jia will stop drinking immediately from tomorrow, no, today."
Alcohol is Guo Jia's lifeblood. It is the second thing that cannot be given up after Shangguan Yan. Therefore, they all said the words to quit drinking, which shows that Guo Jia must be absolutely sure.
Qin Hao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then asked: "What does that mean?"
“It means that Han Xin wanted more, or that one of the conditions to persuade Han Xin to surrender did not reach the level that allowed Han Xin to surrender.
Han Xin also knew that this was the highest condition the lord could give, so he decisively refused our army's persuasion to surrender.
But what Han Xin didn't expect was that even if the princes of Hebei united, they would still lose consecutive battles against our army, and Han Xin had fewer and fewer cards. If you continue to fight with our army, there will be no room for turning around. Therefore, Han Xin did not burn down the warehouse after withdrawing from Yecheng to show his goodwill to his lord. "Guo Jia said unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Qin Hao suddenly showed a look of surprise. He just said that the 'job-hopping' conditions he offered were so generous that no one would be tempted, but Han Xin was still the right one for him. It turned out that he was not sincere enough. , but the point that made Han Xin change jobs was not touched at all.
Thinking about it again, Qin Hao's face showed a trace of anger: "I didn't expect Han Xin to be so greedy. The conditions set by this king can already make him a supreme minister and a subordinate, so he can't even pay for it." Are you satisfied? Do you still want me to give way to him?"
"The conditions offered by the Lord are indeed generous, but even though Han Xin is a very human minister, he is still just a human minister, and what he wants is probably more than just a human minister."
Guo Jia smiled calmly.
Hearing this, Qin Hao was stunned. He had seen through the essence of the matter, and his expression became brighter.
Let’s use an analogy. Qin Hao and Han Xin are both chairman of two companies. Qin Hao's group wants to acquire Han Xin's group after it grows bigger, but Qin Hao can only make Han Xin a senior executive and cannot give him shares.
Han Xin was originally the chairman of a large group, but now he is asked to work for Qin Hao as a wage earner. I am afraid no one will be happy with this change.
So, in general, it is not that Qin Hao did not give Han Xin enough power, but that Han Xin wanted to be a shareholder. He did not want to be just a minister who could be manipulated by others. He wanted to have independent military and political power.
Han Xin was a prince, and he knew that when a king wanted to manipulate his ministers, it was just a matter of words.
Just like Yue Fei, he is definitely a model of loyalty, but does loyalty have a good ending? Qin Hao said a word, and Yue Fei was **** to the end without even the slightest chance to resist.
Han Xin is different from Yue Fei. He and Qin Hao do not have any emotional basis, so he does not trust Qin Hao as much as Yue Fei does, so he will naturally worry about being settled by the Queen after surrendering.
In addition, Han Xin, who had already been a prince, had tried the poison of power. If he was asked to give up all his power and become a minister honestly, he would naturally not be able to do it.
However, the strength of the Qin army is too strong. Even if Han Xin personally leads the army, even if the princes of Hebei unite, they are still no match. Therefore, Han Xin will inevitably have the idea of surrender.
In Han Xin's opinion, the most perfect way to surrender is to be attached to the Qin army and become a small prince. This kind of power may not be as great as Qin Hao's, but it is better than a wage earner like Yue Fei who has nothing.
Han Xin’s demands seemed very low, but Qin Hao could not agree to such conditions.
If he agreed to Han Xin and allowed him to be independent from the Qin army, then if he attacked Cao Cao and other other princes, they would also demand independence. Would it be difficult for Qin Hao to agree?
So, this precedent must not be set.
“Are you willing to surrender but reluctant to give up military power?”
A sharp look flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said calmly: "Then I will make you a bare commander first, and then we will see if you still surrender."
Qin Hao originally wanted to get rid of Han Xin directly. After all, Han Xin was the commander-in-chief second only to Bai Qi. If he was always his enemy, this would undoubtedly be a big obstacle to his unification of the world.
But now that he knew that Han Xin wanted to surrender, Qin Hao would naturally not kill him again. After all, a Han Xin who was alive and serving him was of greater value.
"Immediately send a flying pigeon message to Bai Qi and Zhang Liang, asking them to capture Han Xin alive." Qin Hao ordered.
)
After the soldiers left, Qin Hao immediately smiled and said: "Okay, in order to make this drama more perfect, we should also lead the army to pursue Han Xin.
The order was passed down, and the pursuing army was always on standby. After the fire in Beiying was extinguished, it would immediately launch a pursuit to the north. "
