Chapter 276: Xiao He voted for Qin?
Xiang Bo was so frightened that he lost his mind.
The soldiers of the Qin Kingdom were all dressed in black clothes and armor, with expressionless faces and strong murderous aura all over their bodies, like evil ghosts who had just escaped from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on the battlefield.
"No, I, Uncle Xiang, still have to live, I can't die yet." Uncle Xiang cried on the ground, turned around, and wanted to exit towards the door.
"Uncle Xiang, you are a timid person, but you still recognize Han?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang loudly in Uncle Xiang's ears.
Xiang Bo looked around and saw a Qin general with bright armor and extraordinary bearing standing in front of him, stepping on his stomach with a pair of big feet.
"Han Xin, it's you. Uh, it hurts so much. General Han, it's such a pleasure to meet you." Xiang Bo was shocked and angry. He didn't expect to see Han Xin in this place and on this occasion. This man who once served in the Chu army
A frustrated general.
"It's not a coincidence, but Marquis Wu specially called me back to express a bad temper. Uncle Xiang, tell me what the purpose of coming to Qin this time is." Han Xin said with a joking smile.
"Marquis Wu, by the way, it was Marquis Wu who asked me to come in for an interview. The Overlord has a message and wants me to tell Marquis Wu personally." Xiang Bo struggled to get up and shouted loudly.
"Overlord, are you talking about the person with double pupils, who always only has his own eyes and no one else exists?" Han Xin sneered.
Once upon a time, Xiang Yu was like a god who needed to be looked up to in Han Xin's heart. No matter what Xiang Yu said, Xiang Yu would implement it without hesitation. However, after experiencing the ups and downs of these years, Han Xin, who was already standing on the same platform, fiercely
Looking back, I suddenly realized that the person I was looking up to was nothing more than that.
As a general who leads the army to fight, Han Xin will not think about what happened inside the Chu State. He will only think about the Qin army advancing all the way eastward, and its momentum is extremely fierce. During this critical period, the Chu army had nothing to do.
As a result, it was as if Xiang Yu could no longer bear the losses in the battle of Hulao Pass.
"General Han, my king wants to ask Marquis Wu to stay in Chenggao for a while. This is the message. Oh, it hurts me to death." Xiang Bo screamed in pain when Han Xin stepped on his waist hard.
"Cheng Gao met, is this really what Xiang Yu said?" Han Xin said half-convinced.
"It's absolutely true. If I tell you half a lie, will you kill me?" Xiang Bo cried out in pain.
"Okay. I will take you to see Wu Hou now. If you tell anything untrue then, be careful about your life. And the beautiful concubines you raised in Pengcheng." Han Xin threatened fiercely.
"How do you know?" Xiang Bo was shocked. For a lustful man, women are his fatal place. Xiang Bo regrets that he is over fifty years old, but he still doesn't have a son, and the mother-in-law in the family
Lions are really fierce. In desperation, this man raised several beautiful animals outside the wall, hoping that they would bloom and bear fruit outside the wall.
How Han Xin knew, of course, there was someone from the Military Intelligence Department secretly providing information. After the fall of Zhao, Yan Le began to adjust the main strength of the Military Intelligence Department personnel to two directions, one was the Chu State, and the other was outside the Western Regions.
Such an adjustment was also recognized by Li Yuan.
Xiang Yu and Mao Dun are the two enemies of Qin in the future.
Xiang Bo was dragged by Han Xin like a dead dog from the door into the heavily guarded meeting hall. Here, Xiang Bo not only met Li Yuan, but also unexpectedly met several old acquaintances.
Lu Jia, the former debater under Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, is now a high minister of the Qin State. Lu Jia, who just returned from Lingnan, still has signs of being tired from all the travels. From his slightly joyful expression, it seems that he can
It can be seen that this celebrity who surrendered after being forcibly captured by Li Yuan was in a good mood.
Lu Jia's appearance was not unusual. Xiang Bo just glanced at the proud Lu Jia indifferently and then turned his searching eyes to the other people in the hall. This was a rare opportunity to get to know important figures in the Qin State. If
If he is lucky enough to be able to return to Pengcheng, the presence of these people will be his bragging rights.
"Xiao He, why is he here?" When Xiang Bo glanced curiously at the person in front of him on the left, his eyes immediately seemed to be frozen and he could not move.
Who is Xiao He, the old brother of Liu Bang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty? How could such a person who has a deep feeling of pain for the Qin Kingdom come to such an important occasion as the Qin Dynasty's court meeting? Could it be said that it was Xiao He who defected to the Qin Dynasty?
When Xiang Bo thought of this, he was immediately confused and at a loss. This change in his heart made him feel that nothing in this world was impossible.
The truth of the facts is sometimes like a fog, which makes people unable to see the direction. Xiao He's surrender to Qin, at least for now, is just the beginning. As for what will happen in the future, no one can know the future so clearly.
, unless he is a magic stick.
After Xiao He and Xia Houying were captured, they originally thought that they would not survive. Considering the enmity between Qin and Han, there was indeed no need to spare their lives.
Li Yuan's opinions were crucial on how to deal with two important figures in the former Han Dynasty, Xia Houying and Xiao He. After considering many factors, Li Yuan only gave one order to escort these two loyal subordinates of Liu Bang to Guanzhong.
Serving in the Longxi area in the far west.
The west border is thousands of miles away from Guandong.
The customs and customs of a foreign country, the desolation of the grasslands outside the Great Wall, and the threat of the Huns' invasion were all tangible. Li Yuan had some hope that after broadening their horizons, Xia Houying and Xiao He could change.
People will change.
This is the fundamental reason why humans are different from animals.
Likewise, feelings will change.
Just like the clouds in the sky, they are unpredictable. Liu Bang's era will eventually pass. The second half of Xiao He and Xia Houying's lives are destined to be different from those in history.
Seven months have passed.
According to Luojia's report in Longxi, Xia Houying has not changed much. He is still very silent and works as a horseman in the border county. As far as his job is concerned, Xia Houying has done a very good job. Even the Qiang people who have lived here for generations
, and have to agree with Xia Houying's horse-controlling skills.
After Xiao He arrived in Longxi, he began to be responsible for recording the transaction records of the border trade between Qin and Hungary. This barter trading method was spontaneously formed by local herdsmen. The Qin State only opened special trading houses in Didao and other places.
, responsible for inspecting and registering passing goods.
This is a brand new job, and it is also an opportunity that Li Yuan gave Xiao He with special care.
Liu Bang's humiliating performance in the battle of Nanyang County, Xia Houying had been fighting at the front and did not see it with his own eyes, but Xiao He was actually in front of Liu Bang all the time. He tried his best to persuade Liu Bang but still did not change Liu Bang to abandon the entire army.
Xiao He's decision to escape independently made Xiao He feel extremely disappointed.
After three months in Longxi, Xiao He, who had lost contact with his family for a long time, gradually accepted this ordinary life. He newly married a Qiang woman.
He has regained his second spring. Not long ago, Xiao He's woman became pregnant.
With the continuation of future generations, Xiao He's mind gradually calmed down. He could just be a scribe in peace and spend the rest of his life peacefully. There was nothing to regret.
After learning about Xiao He's current situation, Li Yuan immediately ordered Xiao He and his family to be taken from Longxi to Chang'an, and then ordered people to escort Xiao He from Guanzhong to Handan in Zhaodi, Guandong.
On this way, Xiao He learned the news that the former Han King Liu Bang died in Zhangshui. Although he didn't know what Li Yuan meant by asking him to come all the way east, Xiao He still proposed to go to Zhangshui when he met Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had no objection to the request of offering sacrifices to an old friend and only ordered General Su Jiao to lead a group of cavalry to escort Xiao He there.
This is the true situation that Xiang Bo saw when Xiao He was also at the court meeting. Not only did Xiang Bo not know the details, but even Han Xin, the general of the Qin Army, did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Yuan's gourd.
When Xiao He and Han Xin passed each other, the two celebrities who were once entangled just looked at each other coldly and separated back to back.
"Report it to Marquis Wu, and the Chu envoy Xiang Bo brought it to you." Han Xin said loudly, bowing his head.
"Uncle Xiang, you just said that Xiang Yu wanted to invite me to stay in Chenggao for a while, but what do you mean?" Li Yuan asked, staring at Uncle Xiang who was afraid of approaching.
Under the huge disparity in status, Li Yuan's seemingly careless question made Xiang Bo's heart suddenly pick up in his throat. This man was not a good person, but a ruthless man who slaughtered all the princes. Even Liu Bang,
Princes like Chen Yu died in his hands, and Xiang Bo's life was a mere one, let alone one.
"Report to the Lord Wuhou, Overlord, oh, no, that's what Xiang Ji meant. There is a letter in Bo's personal clothes, which needs to be delivered to Wuhou in person." Xiang Bo said without taking any turns.
At Li Yuan's signal, the soldiers from both sides rushed forward and stripped Xiang Bo naked from top to bottom. These soldiers were also ruthless. Not only the coat, but also the underwear was not left to Xiang Bo.
In front of everyone in the hall, Xiang Bo could only shrink down and hold his arms in his arms to cover his shameful parts.
"There are only two heroes in the world who are my brothers. It's a pity that we are separated from each other in Hulao. We haven't seen each other for many years. Now I have a discussion. I would like to share it with my brother. If you are interested, we will make an appointment on May 15th, when the moon is full.
When I met him in Chenggao that night, I believe that with my original brother’s courage, I will not let down my brother Yu’s heart.”
Xiang Yu is a proud man.
There are almost no people he can call his brothers. Even Liu Bang and Xiang Yu talk like an old man from Pei County when they are angry. This time, he went out of his way and regarded Li Yuan as a brother, which was rare.
In the letter, Xiang Yu spoke with deep affection, as if Li Yuan and he were brothers who had not seen each other for many years and had a good time talking about each other over wine. However, in fact, there was no talk of drinking together between the two of them. The only meeting they had was at Hulao Pass.
They draw their swords at each other and fight to the death.
To go or not to go, Xiang Yu posed the difficult problem to Li Yuan. There was no way to tell the winner on the battlefield. Xiang Yu, the overlord with overwhelming strength and arrogance, wanted to regain the game in terms of courage. (To be completed.)
