A Step Into The Past: I Am Han Xin - C136
Wu Chen’s power had rapidly expanded, his military power had already flourished to over two hundred thousand, and the generals under his command were as numerous as the clouds. Amongst the many Chu State generals, he was the second to be handed over. Other than Left General, no one else could compare to him.
When the news of Zhou Wen’s huge defeat arrived, everyone was in an uproar. A few days later, someone reported the news of King of Chen killing Deng Zong. Therefore, the core members of the gathered troops would discuss this matter in the Handan Palace.
The chief of the Three Jin Alliance, Zhang Er, stated, “General has calmed down Zhao Di and is standing arrogantly in the north. Now that Zhou Wen had lost, if Qin Army managed to advance to the east, with an unstoppable force, Zhang Chu would be in danger. In the situation, the King of Chen was greedy for words, so all the generals wanted to attack the city and land, and most of them wanted to be destroyed in order to offend him. Now that General Zhao had accomplished great deeds and shocked the world, it was impossible for him to escape calamity. If I learn from Zhou Shi and receive Young Noble Zhao as my king, I can protect my life. ”
Wu Chen shook his head: “King of Chen and I are friends who have gone through thick and thin, we are going to rebel, how can we act against their intentions?” Zhang Er said in a stern voice, “If we can’t break it, we will definitely be disrupted. If he hesitated today, it would be like Wu Zixu’s fate, which was also Meng Tian’s. General, please be careful not to miss the opportunity! ”
Zhang Er’s prestige in Wu Chen’s army was very high, his words were very well-spoken, and with Zhou Shi as an example, everyone heard his words and nodded their heads, with a lot of support.
Zhang Er looked at Wu Chen, hoping that he would nod his head and agree.
However, Wu Chen remained silent for a long time and suddenly asked the guard, “What does the Great Situ think?”
That Shao Sao was originally an elder of Cheng Yang and was also an elder of the Great Swamp Country’s uprising. He had stratagem and trusted Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng had sent him to be his bodyguard, to keep him under surveillance, to let him make reports from time to time. Unexpectedly, he was in Wu Chen’s army, and was able to wear the same pants with Wu Chen, and become his trusted aide. The reports praised Wu Chen, and made Chen Sheng feel at ease. When Wu Chen calmed down the situation, the small report also stopped reporting.
Shao Sao was sly and cunning, he knew that Wu Chen had something to say, and said: To welcome Zhao Xie is a huge matter, we can discuss about it after the advisor returns.
The advisor was Kui Tong, who was collecting food outside, not in Handan.
After Wu Chen heard what Shao Sao said, he nodded and said, “Great Situ is right. We can discuss this matter when the Military Advisor comes back.”
Therefore, Zhang Er could only wait patiently for Kui Tong to return.
After a while, a special envoy of the King of Chen arrived at the Handan and ordered Wu Chen to lead troops to the west to deal with Wang Li.
Wu Chen’s climate had changed, and Zhang Chu was on the verge of death. Wu Chen treated the King Zhang Chu’s decree as fart, and it was naturally just empty words to make up for it …
When Kui Tong returned with food, he immediately had Three Jin Alliance Alliance Chief Zhang Er pay a visit to him the moment he entered the Palace. It turned out that Zhang Er was already impatient, upon hearing that Kui Tong had returned, he came to his house, and asked Zhang Er first to find out what was going on.
After Kui Tong heard Zhang Er’s suggestion to set up Zhao Xie, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry Alliance Leader Zhang, tomorrow I will arrange this matter in front of Lord Wuxin.” Zhang Er was overjoyed, thanking him and leaving.
Just as Zhang Er left, Wu Chen had someone summon him.
When Qu Tong arrived at Wu Chen’s residence, Wu Chen suppressed his anger and asked, “Zhang Er proposed to welcome Young Noble Zhao as a king, what do you think about the Military Advisor?”
Kui Tong laughed coldly, “Zhang Er is actually a reserved person. If your lordship does as he says, the trouble will not be far off. ”
Wu Chen was moved: “Military Advisor, please tell me, how do you practice favoritism? “What kind of disaster wouldn’t be far?”
Zhang Gong said: “As everyone knows, that Zhao Xie is a Deputy Chief of the Three Jin Alliance. Zhang Er had actually proposed to make him king just for his own sake. Zhao Xie was different from Wei Jiu, under the influence of Hedong, he had a group of trusted followers, and was also famous for being able to plan things for Li Zuoche. Since the Lord had made him king, he would definitely try to promote his trusted aides and expel them from the My Daughter. The Duke thought that the military and government of the Governor was just like Zhou Shi, they would not be able to obtain him. At that time, it was unknown whether or not he would be able to preserve his own life. And he, Zhang Er, is the Clan Master of the Three Jin Alliance, with his meritorious initiative, he can naturally rise to the top and receive the love of Zhao Xie. ”
Wu Chen raged: “Damn it! He was almost sold by this bastard! After this fellow proposed the establishment of the six nations in the King of Chen, he did not get any permission from the King of Chen. This time, he came to abet this king, and his evil heart refused to give up. “Wait until I take him down and punish him for his crimes.”
Qu Tong shook his head. “Absolutely not! Zhang Er had worked hard for Zhao Pingtian and had a rather high reputation among the dukes. He has been in charge of the Three Jin Alliance for many years, if he were to touch this person, it would cause the current situation to become unstable. ”
Wu Chen resentfully said: “Luckily, the Military Advisor reminded me, what he said is true. However, if I do not punish him, it will be hard for me to quell the anger in my heart. ” Kui Tong laughed, “My lord, please first stabilize this man. When the situation is stable, we can make our move.” Wu Chen then asked how to stabilize Zhang Er, which led him to a passage: “Not only did I not punish him for his crimes, I even promoted him to an official.”
Wu Chen nodded his head: “As the Military Advisor sees it, let this fellow be free and unfettered for a while. But if we do not stand up Zhao Xie, Zhang Chu will not be able to win, so how can we control Zhao Di? ”
Kui Tong laughed loudly, “Master has extended his territory for a thousand miles, and has over two hundred thousand soldiers. He should be able to establish himself as king, why should he sacrifice Zhao Xie for the sake of others?”
This was what Wu Chen was waiting for. It was just that after what Zhang Er had said two days ago, no one dared to speak ill of him. Hearing Kui Tong’s words, he was overjoyed. He then said, “Does the Military Advisor think I can become the next King?”
Kui Tong said resolutely, “Of course! If the lord were to establish himself as king, who would dare to say a word of disapproval? Merely a mere King of Zhao, how could he be worthy of mention! Does your lordship wish to rule the world? ”
“The world! This Sovereign has not considered it this far yet. If there’s anything that the Military Advisor has, please tell me! ” Wu Chen’s eyes lit up.
“The independent King of Zhao is only a temporary measure to pacify Zhao Di. Since the master of the city is Zhao, he cannot be self-styled, but should take advantage of the influence of the great generals in the north and in the south to strengthen himself in Hanoi. If I can do this, I will reject the river in the south, and have Yan in the north, Yan in the north, and the land in the sea in the first of four. Once the world has changed, we can go south and enter Qin Creek. When we have succeeded, we can also obtain the throne. ”
Wu Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this: “The Military Advisor is very farsighted, so it turns out he had long planned this out for me.” Channels: “I submit to the Lord, so I will try my best to share the Lord’s worries.”
Wu Chen said worriedly: “The Military Advisor’s words are kind, but once Master Qin has pacified Zhang Chu, he will definitely come and destroy my Zhao State, then Zhang Han will be a famous general for now, he will be more courageous and intelligent, Right General Zhou Wen will not be a match for him, if Master comes, who can reject him?”
Channeling: “A player. If Master has obtained this person, then what is there to fear from him, Zhang Han! ” Wu Chen asked anxiously: “Who is that person?” The passage said: “This man is my junior brother, the one with the Huaiyin, Han Xin, and is my master’s true disciple.”
Wu Chen replied with an “Oh” and said, “This king has already heard of Han Xin’s name. The King of Chen had wanted him to replace Zhou Shi and gather as many disciples as possible. Recently, he heard that the King of Chen was looking for him everywhere, asking him to take Zhou Wen’s place. Does the advisor know where he is? ”
The passage: “I have already heard that he is currently at the Weidi. After Master becomes the next King of Zhao, I will personally go to the Wei State to find him.” Wu Chen then said: “A handsome talent like Han Xin, don’t let him get it first.”
Thus, the two discussed their performance tomorrow.
The next day, Wu Chen called for everyone to discuss it in his residence.
This time, Zhang Er took the initiative to make Wu Chen his own King of Zhao, and even produced a form that he had been trying to persuade him to come out for the night, to give it to Wu Chen.
Zhang Er was stupefied. He didn’t think that Kui would go back on his word and make such a move.
Wu Chen did not ask about the others, but only what did Great Situ Shao Sao think. The cunning Shao Sao immediately figured out what Wu Chen was thinking, and said: “Monarch and King of Chen have an important matter to discuss, and if the Monarch can be the King, then the Monarch can also be the King. In the current situation of the Jun Family, only the King of the South will be able to escape from these shackles and avoid any unexpected calamities. ”
Zhang Er was just about to say something when he was refuted by Kui Tong, “Why don’t you welcome Young Master Zhao to rest —” All the lords are thinking of wealth, is it better for Zhao Xie to be the king, or for the master to be the king? ”
Immediately, everyone reacted and tried to persuade Wu Chen to be the king. Zhang Er knew that the great matter was over, so he could only change his words and advise Wu Chen to become the new King.
Wu Chen feigned modesty for a while, and finally “could not bear to ignore everyone’s intentions”, and agreed to be called king.
Therefore, he chose the auspicious day to visit the outskirts of Handan City, using the ground as the altar, and Wu Chen as the King of Zhao. Shao Sao had the oldest qualifications and bestowed the right Prime Minister; Chen Yu had fought meritorious deeds and bestowed the title of Great General; Li Liang, Han Guang, Zhang Quan, Chen Shi and the other generals were bestowed the title of General; even Zhang Er, who was initially supporting Young Noble Zhao, was bestowed the title of Prime Minister of The Left.
After Wu Chen ascended to the throne, he ordered General Han Guang to lead fifty thousand lions to the north to take over Yan City.
On the other hand, Kui Tong, the official disciple, was afraid that Han Xin would snatch the position first, so within two days of taking over the position, he was forced by Wu Chen to leave the Handan to go to Wei State. All along the way, they galloped on horseback and arrived at the Clear Stream Ghost Valley.
After Han Huaichu heard the story of Wu Chen creating his own King of Zhao, he smiled and said, “Second Senior Brother, that Zhao State side is filled with unpleasantness, why aren’t you supporting the Zhao State, and do you have the leisure to go back and pay respects?”
Qui Tong stuttered, “When I heard that Master had died, my grief was as great as the loss of my parents. King of Zhao pitied me, granted me leave, and let me return to the mountain to be your sacrifice. ”
Han Huaichu looked at Qui Tong for a while and said, “I see that you are in high spirits and your face is flushed red. You don’t seem to be grieving at all. Could it be that Senior has other things to do, has other business to do at Wei State, and taking a master is just a convenience? ”
Zhang Gong laughed: “Good for you, Han Xin! Nothing can be hidden from you. That’s right, Senior Brother, I came here for something else. ”
Han Huaichu thought that since there was no military or national event, it would be inconvenient to ask, so he did not probe further.
Quai Tong took out another two hundred gold and gave it to anyone who wanted it. He accepted it with a smile and said, “With this amount of money, I can start planning for the reconstruction of Ashram of Guigu.
Qui Tong said, “Our training hall is too big. It’s too difficult to restore your original appearance, and it’s also not practical. It would be better to build a few houses as a memorial service. ”
Han Huaichu also felt that rebuilding the Ashram of Guigu was too difficult, upon seeing that Kui Tong had also said the same, he changed his mind and said: “Second Senior Brother’s words are reasonable. Let’s start with the Martial Arts Practice Hall and the Debate Hall.
Ashram of Guigu were divided into three factions. Not only was it the cradle of the Wen Chen’s generals, it was also the Taoist training grounds. Before it was destroyed, there were dozens of small and big institutions, as well as a training field for the disciples to ride their horses and shoot arrows and practice their martial arts. In order to train his disciples in actual combat, he had also set up a simulation battlefield on the hillside for the purpose of practicing. There were hundreds of ancient books and records, and all of them were full of sweat.
The Martial Arts Practice Grounds and Debate Hall were the most suitable places to train. Not usually. Occasionally, the Sect Leader would come out and open two branches to observe the disciples’ skills. All of the disciples expressed their opinions and were gathered together; it was extremely lively.
The reason why Han Huaichu obtained the secret manual《 Fourteen Ghost Valley》 was because he had displayed his talent in a military chess deduction and was seen through by his master, Guigu Xuance, who then passed down the most precious treasure to him.
Han Huaichu proposed to cultivate the Martial Arts Practice Hall and the Debate Hall.
As the sun rose, the artisans gradually arrived, and wherever Han Huaichu went, he would accompany Qu Tong to Guigu Xuance’s grave to clear it, and then go to the construction site to start his own project.
Han Huaichu accompanied Kui Tong and walked along the mountain path to his master’s tomb.
After walking a few steps, Kui Tong suddenly raised the topic, “Does Junior Brother Han know why I’m returning to the mountain?” Han Huaichu was surprised: “Didn’t Senior Brother have a business trip, did you happen to come here?”
“My work is for you, junior brother.” Qitong said in surprise.
“As it turns out, that King of Zhao Wu Chen was also like Wei Wangjiu, and wanted this little one to come out of his mountain to serve him.”
Pretending to be confused, he said in surprise, “For me? Senior Brother, you came all the way from the Zhao State for me, Han Xin? ”
Kui Tong stared at Han Huaichu with his sharp eyes and said sternly: “That’s right! King of Zhao found out the name of his junior, and ordered me to ask for your assistance, and was willing to hand over the Immovable Nation Weapon to my junior, if junior has any intentions? “
