Chapter Fourteen
This was an unexpected gain. I thought that a mess of arrows would definitely shoot Han Xin to death, but I didn't expect that this kid was quite lucky to escape this disaster. However, even if he could escape the chaos of arrows, with these Han troops, he could protect him from the siege? Needless to say, this time, he indeed captured Han Xin, a famous general who has been alive for all ages.
Xiang Yu felt ecstatic. He had some concerns about this person before. Now, if he catches Han Xin, it would be equivalent to cutting off Liu Bang's right-hand arm. It would be easy to see how tenacious Liu Bang's child could be.
"General Han, please get up." Xiang Yu chuckled with a hilarious halberd on the horse's back.
The two Han soldiers immediately helped Han Xin up. Although Han Xin was hit by three arrows, fortunately they didn't hit the vital part. Even so, he stood up with the help of the two. The leg that was hit by the arrow trembled continuously, and the earnest blood kept flowing out of the wound. Han Xin looked pale and said, "Bao Wang, Han Xin is captured by the Bo Wang now, and he only wants to die, and hope that the Bo Wang will fulfill it."
Want to die? Xiang Yu was stunned and caught Han Xin in a local way. Should he kill or persuade him to surrender? Since he could not shoot the arrows to death, it means that God did not want such a talent to die in internal friction. If Western Chu got Han Xin and Liu Bang lost Han Xin, the great cause of destroying Han would soon end.
"Haha, I said General Han, since you are seriously injured at this moment, I advise you to rest for a while before deciding whether to live or die. What do you think?" Xiang Yu laughed.
"Overlord, Han Xin serves the King of Han, and is loyal and will never betray him. The overlord will defeat Han Xin as soon as possible so as not to regret it." Han Xin sneered, and the muscles on his face twitched due to pain.
Loyalty? This means that he refuses to serve Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu's face turned gloomy, but he still waved his hand and said, "Come on, take General Han back to Dingtao with a car to recuperate. These personal soldiers still follow General Han."
After saying that, before Han Xin could argue, he pulled the horse and ran towards Dingtao.
Han Xin, Han Xin, this military genius who was killed by Empress Lu in the bell room of Weiyang Palace was hidden because of the birds that were gone, and was cooked because of the death of a cunning rabbit. It was a crime of conspiracy when it was about to be rebelled. It was really an injustice for all ages. But is it such a master worthy of his loyalty? If Han Xin's plot and Xiang Yu's bravery, would the arrogant Maodun dare to take his grassland cavalry south to herd his horse? God gave Xiang Yu a chance to start over. Today, Xiang Yu also wants to give Han Xin a chance to start over.

After a day of war, the people in Dingtao City were still frightened and closed their doors. Even the brave merchants did not dare to open the door to do business. The patrol soldiers had changed from the red Han army to the black Chu army, and there were crisp beats on the quiet streets.
The sun rose, and the uneasiness in the city had basically been calmed down by the silence all night. Fan Zeng sent people to post more than a dozen Anmin notices in the city, which was roughly said that the army of the Western Chu King had taken over the entire city of Dingtao. The overlord would treat the people in Dingtao City like his own elders, so that the people of Dingtao City should not be afraid and panic, do not believe others' rumors, and produce and live as usual.
At this time, in the meeting hall of the Dingtao County Governor's Office, the generals of the Chu army were discussing the next plan of the army. Liu Bang retreated to Xingyang as expected by Xiang Yu, and the terrain in Xingyang and Chenggao was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In history, Liu Bang confronted the powerful Chu army with natural danger for more than two years. Later, Xiang Yu finally drew a gap with Liu Bang as the boundary because the supply from the rear was insufficient, and both sides stopped.
Is it still going to take two years this time? No, absolutely not. If consumed, the power of the Central Plains will inevitably be weakened to the point where it is unable to resist the Huns' Iron Cavalry. The battle with Liu Bang will end as soon as possible. If possible, the battle will end within one or two months, and then rest for the people, accumulate strength to compete with the Huns.
"Liu Ji'er, I'm hiking in Xingyang and not coming out. I wonder if you have any good plans to solve it?" Xiang Yu's tiger eyes scanned the people in the hall and asked.
"The Overlord, Xingyang is in a strong position and cannot be attacked urgently. If the attack is ineffective, it will only hurt the lives of the soldiers. The last general has already advised the Overlord that our army should advance in three directions and attack the Han army together. Now that Dingtao has been taken down, the last general is willing to lead a side army to attack Zhao north and capture Zhao King Zhang Ao and Liu Ji's daughter to the Overlord's tent. If Zhao, if the land in Zhao can be brought down, our army can attack Guanzhong and Xingyang and Chenggao on three sides, so that Liu Ji's army will be defeated." Xiang Fei said with great enthusiasm.
At a young age, he was a general in the first army and was about to destroy a huge enemy. Throughout history, not many people have reached his level.
"In order to attack the enemy from three sides, Ying Bu still needs to go out of Wu Pass." Ji Bu reminded from the side.
"Haha," Xiang Fei smiled, "General Ji said very well, but Ying Bu is a hero in the world. He was defeated by Wuguan in the previous period. If the overlord sent him to attack the key points with all his strength today, he would definitely be in a wait-and-see situation. If our army attacked Zhao and attacked Xingyang smoothly, he would definitely send troops to Wuguan. If our army's progress was not smooth, and he would be defeated or retreated, he would remain silent to preserve his strength, and perhaps he would be against Chu and Han again."
"Yes," Xiang Yu nodded, "He would not do anything without sweetness, so our army must win completely when attacking Zhao, otherwise if Ying Bu takes the opportunity to surrender to Han, the world will be unpredictable. Therefore, I am willing to go there in person to fight Zhao, so I hope to succeed in the battle, to shock the Han army and force Ying Bu to send troops."
"Who can defend the enemy in front of Xingyang?" Ji Bu asked.
"Of course, the general leads the army to defend the enemy. Only when the general takes charge can he be relieved." Xiang Yu chuckled, pointed at Xiang Fei and said.
"How dare you not work for a person?" Xiang Fei saw that the overlord was so respectful, and quickly knelt down and bowed.
Xiang Yu took a step forward, helped Xiang Fei up, and said, "General, please get up. I wonder how many soldiers and horses the general will leave here?"
"The last general thinks that the attack on Zhao cannot be slowed down, nor can it be lost. Therefore, the more powerful army of the overlord is, the better. The last general only has 50,000 elite troops, which is enough to guard against Liu Ji's sudden attack." Xiang Fei's confidence soared.
"Although Gu went to Zhao in person this time, he did not take the banner of Gu, so there were not many soldiers. Before Xingyang, a large flag of Gu was set up and supplemented with heavy troops. Gu could go north with confidence. The general should not refuse. He could leave 100,000 troops to the general. Gu and General Ji Bu sent troops to cross the river. He attacked the enemy under the banner of General Ji. The enemy would not have much defense and could go down in one go." Xiang Yu continued.
"The Overlord's practice of this clone technique will make it difficult for Liu Ji to distinguish. Zhang Ao was young and had no plans. Can he not be captured by the Overlord?" Xiang Fei applauded.
While the few were talking, a soldier suddenly rushed to the outside of the conference hall and knelt down and reported: "Over King, Han Xin asked for a meeting."
Han Xin? Shouldn’t he be recuperating now? What’s the matter with him? Is he trying to find a way out?
"Let Han Xin keep it in his house, and I will visit him in person." Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said loudly.
"No." The sergeant took the order and left.
All the generals in the hall showed dissatisfaction, Ji Bu was the first to express his dissatisfaction and whispered: "Old King, Han Xin was originally a slinger in our army, but he betrayed the Overlord and defected to Liu Ji. He was a villain who betrayed the righteous. Later, he led the army to become enemies with the Overlord many times. The battle at Gaixia almost cost the lives of my king and ministers. How could the Overlord be too many Han Xin and neglect the hearts of the soldiers?"
Xiang Yu was stunned. He did not expect that not killing Han Xin would make many generals in the camp dissatisfied. When he looked at the others, he also showed the same expression as Ji Bu.
"Haha, everyone, although Han Xin was a rebel soldier in our Chu camp, he was very good at using troops, which is rare in the world. When he was in an isolated tent, he did not know talents, so he turned to Han Han. It was actually the fault of his son. Now he can capture Han Xin. If he is allowed to submit to our Western Chu, he will add a general in Western Chu. Liu Ji Shao has his arms, and one will have another deterioration. The victory or defeat will be obvious in half a year." Xiang Yu said to the generals calmly without changing his expression.
"Han Xin has always been strange. I am afraid he is determined to be Liu Ji and refuses to surrender to the Overlord. If the Overlord keeps him and kills him for a long time, the people in the world will laugh at the Overlord's unwilling mind. If he does not kill, he is afraid that he will escape in the future, and our army will have another strong enemy." Xiang Feisi said after a moment.
Xiang Yu smiled slightly and said, "The General and all the generals are worried. Han Xin is a man with great ambitions. The reason why he turned his back on his own will and surrendered to Liu Ji is just to do what he learned and to take revenge. Now that our Western Chu will destroy the Han Dynasty, the Hu people are ready to move. This is the place where heroes use their skills. How could Han Xin see that his great achievements are ahead without fighting?"
"The overlord's words are reasonable." Someone in the hall finally agreed with Xiang Yu's words.
Xiang Yu looked at the speaker and saw that the person who spoke was a debater in the army named Wu She. This Wu She was the one who went to Qi State to persuade Han Xin to join forces with the Overlord to attack Liu Bang. Unfortunately, although Han Xin hesitated, he finally chose to support Liu Bang, which made Xiang Yu difficult to take care of the head and tail and had to swear with Liu Bang. Now Wu She is going to mention the old things again?
When Wu She saw the overlord approving, she boldly said: "Overlord, generals, Han Xin's talent is unparalleled. If you kill him rashly, it would be a pity. I ask the overlord to let him follow the king's throne and persuade Han Xin to surrender with his words."
"Come on, last time you went to persuade me, wasn't you disappointed? This time, I don't want to make things boring." Ji Bu said angrily when he saw this guy who was eating with his tongue.
"General Ji is out of here," Wu She said, "There is a Taoist at this time, and at that time, when Han Xin was rushing to Qi to lobby Han Xin, which was when Han Xin was extremely powerful, so it was difficult to succeed. He entered Han Xin as a prisoner under the rank of the overlord. The momentum of Chu's rise and Han Han's decline had already been revealed. How could Han Xin not consider the reason? A man with ambition would not be willing to die in a hurry. Therefore, he asserted that the overlord would leave this and would have a debate in the lower level. Han Xin would surrender."
"Okay, Wu She will go with me. If the lobbying fails, it will not be too late to kill again." Xiang Yu waved his hand and drew a comma to the debate. It will take him until he talks with Han Xin. Xiang Yu was patient and planned to wait for another one or two more hours to draw the end.
