Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Han Xin was personally appointed by Lu Bu...

As a general appointed by Lu Bu himself, Han Xin naturally moved into Qinchuan Palace and got a side hall as his residence.

While the palace officials were busy cleaning up the side halls and placing objects, Han Xin stood inside, looking here and touching there, feeling a strange sense of comfort in his heart.

He was lonely when he was young and had insufficient food and clothing. After joining the army, his achievements were not obvious and he was only a doctor.

Although this is a side hall that has not yet been tidied up, it is also solemn and gorgeous, with royal majesty everywhere, clearly demonstrating the expense of food and clothing for him as a general.

——It is completely different from his previous situation where he only had two pairs of old clothes, a mat in the barracks, and no proper place to put his precious military books.

Just watching all this quietly, he couldn't help but think about his new ministry and the ray of lofty ambition that he finally had access to.

All of them made him moved, delighted, excited and unfamiliar.

Han Xin solemnly placed the most precious military book on a spotless shelf, and then couldn't help but look around.

Not long after, Lu Bu, who had finished counting the pile of gold that Xiang Yu had rewarded and finally got empty, walked over in a swaggering manner. Seeing this cheap guy standing in a daze among the busy palace people, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Brother Han, what are you doing?" What's more? No matter how quickly the palace people clean it up, it will still take a while, so why stand there and eat ashes?"

Han Xin laughed dumbly, not wanting to express his ridiculous thoughts, so he wiped some ashes on the tip of his nose and agreed with Lu Bu's words.

The next moment, Lu Bu dragged him into the main hall, lit the lamps, and mysteriously moved away, leaving only a large sand table between the two of them.

While Han Xin was still confused, Lu Bu already looked serious, holding a wooden stick and wrote three lines on it with great force:

Town Hanzhong.

Lure the Han army.

Kill Liu Bang.

Han Xin: “…………”

Although it seems unkind to use the famous soldier immortal in the history books as a military advisor and prepare him to do the work of Gao Fuyi and Chen Gongtai alone, Lu Bu is really eager for revenge and can't care so much.

Lu Bu looked at Han Xin expectantly: "Brother Han, do you have any clever ideas?"

To put it bluntly, his ultimate goal is nothing more than 'killing Liu Bang'.

It's just God's will and the fact that the tattoo is useless. It took a hundred steps to do something that could have been done in one step.

Han Xin was so smart. He was stunned for only a moment before he figured out some inexplicable clues.

Although I don’t know how Liu Bang offended his wise brother, so much that he hated him so much that he wanted to put him to death...

But Xiandi was the only one who treated him with great talent in the past twenty years. He even chased him on horseback at night and recommended him to the overlord, giving him the coveted gift.

Don't say that Liu Bang has ambitions to compete for the world. Even if he falls to Bashu, he cannot be underestimated and will have to deal with him sooner or later.

Even if the other party is really a nobody worth spending energy to deal with, he will fulfill his wish for his wise brother no matter what.

Han Xin lowered his eyes quietly and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the cheap brother was so absorbed in his thoughts, Lu Bu, who was already accustomed to the troublesome behavior of these smart people, scratched his head and calmed down knowingly.

He tiptoed to the side without even letting out a breath, for fear of disturbing Han Xin's train of thought.

Once Han Xin was completely immersed in his thoughts, he didn't know the passage of time and didn't pay attention to the changes around him.

Soon, a rough plan gradually emerged, prompting him to write quickly on the sand table and jot down the general content.

It's just that it's difficult to make a decision now, and we have to wait until the specific enfeoffment is completed.

It wasn't until Lu Bu needed to ask for his opinion that he raised his eyes: "Xian——"

As soon as the words started, they stopped abruptly.

He stared blankly at Lu Bu who had closed his eyes for a long time and kept his previous lazy sitting posture, looking for Duke Zhou for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh.

Dear brother, dear brother.

Even for Han Xin, being awarded the title of a military general was an extraordinary leap. It gave him a precious opportunity to show off his talents and realize his ambitions for the first time. However, for the entire Chu army, it did not cause any waves.

Even Lu Bu was awarded the title of general because he led the former Qin capital army instead of using other generals to form separate armies. Therefore, the interests of other Chu generals were not touched, and there were fewer waves and obstacles.

What concerned the princes even more was the long-awaited enfeoffment presided over by the overlord Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was happy. After his staff arranged the matter of moving the capital to Xianyang, he happily divided them among the princes according to the agreement with the princes in advance.

Of course, although he claimed to be "distributed by merit," his merit was mainly determined by whether he followed him into the customs, or whether he contributed in the battle of Julu, or whether he had any kindness to the Xiang family.

Zhang Han, who was first made King Yong by him, happily followed Xiang Yu's instructions and publicly stated that he was not worthy of being king. He resigned from the throne and changed his position to Zuo Sima of the Central Army to serve the Chu army. The land of Guanzhong and part of the Chu land were natural. The land returned to the overlord Xiang Yu; Xiang Yu's subordinate general Yingbu was granted the title of King of Jiujiang, Wu Bin, the woman in charge of the tattooing service, was granted the title of King of Hengshan, Ao Ao of the Chu Zhu Kingdom was granted the title of King of Linjiang, and part of the territory under the jurisdiction of the original Chu State was divided; Zhao Xie was granted the title On behalf of the king, Zhang Er became the King of Changshan, dividing the land formerly under the jurisdiction of the Zhao Kingdom; Tianshi, Tianan and Tiandu were granted the title of King of Jiaodong, Jibei and Qi respectively, dividing the land of the original Qi Kingdom; Zang Tu and Han Guang were granted the title of King of Yan and Liaodong King, divided the land of the original Yan Kingdom; Wei Bao and Sima Yan were the kings of Western Wei and Yin, and occupied the land of Wei; Han Cheng and Shenyang were the kings of Han and Linjiang, and occupied the original South Korea

land.

Xiang Yu had already decided on this enfeoffment, and only made two changes.

The first is about Liu Bang's enfeoffment: Xiang Yu took advantage of the partiality of the King of Chu and excluded Liu Bang. He was originally planning to enfeoff the two counties of Bashu, which he regarded as remote and bitter. However, not wanting to go through the incident, Liu Bang took the initiative to escape to Bashu. It saves him the effort of driving away.

As Liu Bang was a rebellious traitor who "secretly assassinated the King of Chu", he must be punished soon, and he was not worthy of being crowned king. And because Bashu is remote and occupied by thousands of Liu Bang's elites, an expedition to recover it would be both troublesome and yield little.

If you give him a false title, it will only offend someone. After discussing it with his advisers for a while, Xiang Yu simply put it aside and left it to be sorted out later.

The second is the enfeoffment between the original pair and Sima Xin and Dong Yi - he originally wanted to return east to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, and the land in Guanzhong could be divided into the land of the Three Qin Dynasties, with the original Qin generals Sima Xin, Dong Yi and Zhang Han respectively. King of.

After all, in his opinion, although the first two were far inferior to Zhang Han in terms of merit, they had done a great favor to his uncle Xiang Liang and deserved a generous reward.

However, after Lu Bu insisted on going his own way and promoted Han Xin as a general because of his "private relationship", and Zuo Yin Xiang Bo's ruthless betrayal, Xiang Yu could not suppress his inner subtlety when he encountered a similar situation again, and he became more cautious.

Since his merits are not enough to make him a king, he will only be rewarded heavily.

Xiang Yu was reading on the high platform, and when he handed out a sealing edict, the princes below had different expressions. The Chu generals were all cold and solemn, and there was silence everywhere.

Only Lu Bu, who looked solemn, felt at a loss.

Who are those?

He listened carefully at first, but soon realized that in the long and boring list of kings, he only recognized a shabby tattoo that even Liu Bang could chase away.

That rag can actually be crowned king?

Sure enough, this king... is really not worthy of me.

Looking at Ting Bu who was in high spirits and couldn't hide his joy, Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly and he rolled his eyes quickly. At the same time, he completely lost interest in continuing to listen and began to wander.

The enfeoffment ceremony was not over until he chopped Liu Bang into pieces for the sixtieth time in his mind.

Lu Bu followed the queue boredly - he couldn't leave yet, the princes and Chu generals had to go to the banquet together. After the banquet, it was time for the new kings to return to their respective fiefdoms.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, with each other drinking glasses and changing glasses, and the conversation was lively.

Lu Bu was always thinking about Liu Biosun who was far away in Bashu and could not meet him until every year of the monkey, so he had no interest in these social activities.

After he pushed lazily a few times, the others were no longer willing to make trouble for themselves anymore, so they stopped looking for him to talk to.

He was so happy that no one would bother him, but he didn't know that Xiang Yu, who was sitting above him, couldn't help but cast glances at him frequently because he didn't understand why he looked so gloomy.

However, neither Xiang Yu nor Lu Bu noticed that among the people attending the banquet, there was one person who always kept his interested eyes on Lu Bu, who was going his own way and looking lazy.

This person is eight feet long, a rare tall man among civil servants. He has a fair complexion and handsome eyebrows. He is less masculine and more frail than a scholar.

——Interestingly tight.

Chen Ping took a leisurely sip of his wine, while seemingly sincerely flattering his colleagues around him, while watching everything in the field with aloofness and indifference. Only when he looked at Lu Bu, he became a little more interested.

——According to his understanding of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's temperament, if Lu Bu had not appeared in the chaos, the situation would not be what it is today.

As soon as the banquet was over, the guests dispersed, and Lu Bu, who had been drinking something that made the birds feel like birds in his mouth. It was more like fruit water than wine, and he suddenly became energetic and ran out with great strides.

When he returned to the palace, facing Han Xin who greeted him enthusiastically, he reluctantly twitched his lips and handed the list of kings he had secretly obtained from Fan Zeng into his hands.

As soon as he got the list, Han Xin quickly left him alone, hunkered down at his desk, and concentrated on studying.

Lu Bu was delighted when he saw this.

——Hahaha, I’ve definitely made a fool of myself!

His strengths have always been in bold and hearty hand-to-hand combat. How could there be any reason to "force" him to use his brain all day long? Only that stupid overlord could do such a wicked thing!

Now that he finally had a reliable and smart person to study for him, he was really happy.

It's a pity that Zhang Liang is in prison. This person is born with a fair complexion that is pleasing to the eye, but he is also full of bad intentions. However, he is able to confuse people's hearts and is dedicated to being a traitor.

So I can only keep it closed, unable to be used for a while.

Lu Bu thoughtfully let Han Xin fall into deep thought, while he slumped down comfortably on the couch to relieve the heat and eat, euphemistically saying that he would not be disturbed.

Just when his eyelids gradually closed and he fell into a drowsy state, the excited Han Xin pushed him awake with his ruthless iron hand: "Good brother, good brother!"

Lu Bu suddenly returned to the moment when Cao Cao flooded Xiapi and Gao Fuyi eagerly woke up himself in the gentle village. His head shook suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he sat still in an instant: "Ouch!"

Han Xin was stunned by his "ouch", but he didn't care about that anymore. He hurriedly dragged him to the sand table, opened and closed his lips, and began to talk to him about the plan incessantly.

Lu Bu had a serious face, but in fact he was not yet awake. He sat upright and listened for a long time, and his eyes gradually changed from mosquito-repellent to a face as pale as earth.

"Brother Han, wait a minute."

He had to stretch out his hand, interrupting Han Xin's generous statement, and confirmed with a trembling voice: "According to Brother Han's plan, how long will it take at the shortest time to catch that Liu Mouse?"

? "

Han Xin thought for a while and replied confidently: "It may take eight years for an ordinary person, but with the ability of a good brother, it only takes four years at most."

In his opinion, Liu Bang was quite cautious and cherished his life most of the time, except that his entry into the customs was too smooth this time, which caused him to lose his mind.

Although Bashu is not the barren land and water that outsiders imagine, it is not something that can be easily captured by just 4,000 elite soldiers. Liu Bang fled in a hurry, and it would take at least a year and a half to gain a foothold.

For at least two or three years, he would be unable to stir up trouble, let alone pose a decent threat to the Chu army. Even if Lu Bu's opinions were valued by Xiang Yu, he would not be able to mobilize his troops to expedition to the useless Bashu in a short period of time.

In contrast, there is an imminent threat: although Xiang Yu's enfeoffment is based on merit, it is inevitably biased, and there are many emperors and ministers in this list who mix and separatize the country. It is bound to be difficult to coexist, and there will definitely be a war. The struggle between strong and weak.

If what he expected was true, when everyone returns home, the war is bound to start again.

The earliest ones to win were probably Tian Rong, who had made great contributions to the rebellion against Qin, but refused to fight against Julu because of his disagreement with the Xiang family, and therefore lost his title, and Peng Yue and Chen Yu, who also did not receive the title, but were quite prestigious and powerful.

Even if the three of them, Tian Shi, Tian Yasuda, are united, it would be difficult for them to compete with Tian Rong, let alone the three of them working on their own?

But if the world falls into disputes again, it will be trouble for Xiang Yu, and it will also be a rare opportunity - especially if he has the ambition to dominate the world and imitate the First Emperor.

When the rebels are defeated one by one and the fiefdom is taken back, the overall situation is stable, and then they can be free to deal with Liu Bang.

Or if Liu Bang watches the beacon smoke rising outside the pass and is ready to make a move, he can station more troops than Hanzhong, lure the snake out of the cave and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

"Ha...haha...four years..."

After getting a clear answer, Lu Bu nodded in a daze, then fell back with his eyes wandering.

——With his eyes open, he fainted from anger on the spot.
