At some point, Han Xin fell into a deep sleep, but as soon as it was daylight, he woke up and lay on the couch for a while, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Knowing that he could no longer fall asleep, he struggled to sit up and leaned on the bed. On the couch, the right hand habitually caresses the left chest.At this time, he suddenly realized that he hadn't felt palpitations for a long time.

His physique was not good. When he was a teenager, both his parents died and his family fell into poverty. He also disdained to do business.However, the meal is not so easy to eat, often after a few meals, the host will give him a face, and he is naturally embarrassed to go again.When he is very hungry or tired, he often suffers from palpitations, and it takes a while for him to recover.Fortunately, he had no worries about food and clothing, and his physique improved accordingly.

Han Xin washed up hastily, and after breakfast, he ordered his personal bodyguard Ah Zhong to invite Kuai Che, the counselor, and Li Zuoche, Minister of Qi, to discuss the alliance with Xiang Yu.

Li Zuoche was the grandson of Li Mu, a famous Zhao general during the Warring States Period, and was named Guangwu Lord by Zhao Wangxie.Two years ago, Han Xin and Zhang Er led an army to attack the state of Zhao. The commander of the state of Zhao at that time was Chen Yu, Lord Cheng'an, who led an army of tens of thousands to station Jingxingkou in Taihang Mountain.Li Zuoche suggested to Chen Yu that it was difficult for Han Xin's army to transport food and grass, the soldiers were hungry and tired, and Jingxing's terrain was long and narrow, so that vehicles and horses could not walk side by side, so it was better to defend than attack.As long as you strictly observe it, you can be foolproof.In addition, Li Zuoche asked himself to lead [-] troops, and after going around to Han Xin's army by a small road, he cut off his food and grass. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu refused to listen and insisted on a decisive battle with Han Xin's army, and was finally defeated.

After this battle, Han Xin ordered that Li Zuoche should not be beheaded in the army, and anyone who could capture him alive would be rewarded with a thousand gold.Sure enough, Li Zuoche was captured alive and sent to Han Xin's account. Han Xin immediately untied him, treated him with the courtesy of a teacher, and asked him about Po Yan and Qi's strategies.Li Zuoche was moved by Han Xin's sincerity, and suggested that he take care of the people of Zhao State, and send someone to say that he would surrender to Yan State and Qi State, and Qi Yan could be determined.Han Xin adopted his suggestion, and Yan Guo surrendered without a fight.

Liu Bang made him the Queen of Qi, and Han Xin worshiped Li Zuoche as the Prime Minister of Qi.

Soon, Kuai Che and Li Zuoche came together.Since Li Zuoche did not attend yesterday's banquet, Han Xin told the story of his promise to form an alliance with Xiang Yu.

Li Zuoche frowned while listening, and said, "I really can't see why King Xiang insisted on meeting in person? Neither the King nor King Xiang has any reason to act lightly at this time."

Han Xin suddenly thought of something, laughed, and said: "Yesterday, Zhong Limei also said that King Xiang is willing to come to Zizi for a meeting."

Li Zuoche couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is just a joke. He is not afraid that when he was in Linzi, Liu Bang took him to his lair again?"

Han Xin said in a daze, "I'm also puzzled. But since I've agreed to Zhong Limei, I can't go back on my word. In fact, Hu Ling is far away from Shouchun, so I'm really worried for King Xiang. By the way, Zhong Li Is Miao still in Linzi?"

Ah Zhong interjected, "General Zhongli left Linzi early in the morning."

You walked so fast, was it because you were afraid that he would go back on his word, so you left quickly?Han Xin touched his chin involuntarily.

Kuai Che suddenly let out an "ah", seeing Han Xin and Li Zuoche all staring at him, he hurriedly said, "Could it be that King Xiang has other plans? Your Majesty, look, the south of Huling happens to be Pengcheng..."

Han Xin murmured: "You mean, Xiang Yu intends to stay in Pengcheng? This is indeed his way of doing things, but how could he know in advance that I will designate Huling as the meeting place?"

The three discussed and discussed, but nothing came out. Han Xin shook his head and said, "That's all. Since I have promised Xiang Yu, let's make an alliance. It will be next month today, and both parties have time to prepare. Mr. Kuai, You and I will go to Huling, Li Xiangguo, and Qi will be entrusted to you."

He glanced at the crowd and said: "This matter must be kept secret, and those who violate the order will be executed."

"Here."

Han Xin immediately sent an envoy to the state of Chu to inform Xiang Yu that the meeting was scheduled for March [-]th.On the one hand, in the name of inspecting Qi, eight thousand elite riders were selected and handed over to the general Wu Chi to lead.

The next day he was about to leave, but Kuai Che had something on his mind. Zuo thought about it and couldn't rest assured, so he drove to find Han Xin, but he told the driver to turn around and visit Li Zuoche.

Li Zuoche was very surprised when he saw Kuai Che's greeting card. Seeing that it was getting late, he knew that he must have something important to do, so he hurriedly led him into the study.

"Mr. Kuai is here, what's the matter?"

Kuai Che sighed, and said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much. When the king is out, please pay special attention to Kong Xun and Chen He."

Li Zuoche was slightly surprised, but after thinking for a while, he understood what Kuaiche meant, and said, "You mean..."

"These two people were originally old men who followed Liu Bang in the uprising in Dangshan. Later, after the battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang sent them to the king as captains. He has been promoted to the rank of general."

Li Zuoche nodded, he knew that Han Xin had originally arranged for these two men to be side generals, each leading a side division, to join him in the Battle of Gaixia.But when Han Xin led his troops back to Qi, the two did not stop them.

Kuai Che said again: "As far as I can see, Liu Bang arranged the two of them next to the king, not necessarily without the intention of monitoring the king. The king has a kind heart and treats them well, but..."

Li Zuoche nodded and said: "I understand, don't worry, sir."

Only then did Kuai Che let go of his worries and bid farewell.

On the second day, Han Xin bid farewell to Li Zuoche, took Kuai Che, Wu Chi, and [-] cavalry, and headed south from Linzi.

Late spring in March.The land of Qi State was already green with green grass, mixed with peanut trees, and flocks of warblers flying around.In the farmland on both sides of the official road, there are also busy farmers everywhere, a scene of peace.When the common people saw King Qi driving, they knelt on the side of the road one after another. They thanked King Qi from the bottom of their hearts.

Ever since Han Xin leveled the throne, he worshiped Li Zuoche as his chancellor, lightly paid his taxes, and let go of fighting. The lives of the people have become much better than before.From time to time, people would hold bamboo baskets containing eggs, beans, corn, vegetables, etc., and stuff them for passing soldiers.Seeing this, Han Xin couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.In fact, it has always been his dream to seal King Litu with his military exploits, and it has also been a recognized rule in the world since the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period.Wasn't Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya back then, because of his great achievements in destroying Shang, he was conferred by King Wu of Zhou as the Duke of Qi?Han Xin believed that he also had the ability to govern a country.In his previous life, didn't he manage the state of Chu very well?It's a pity that Liu Bang later won Chang'an...

The Qi army went all the way to the southeast, and they had reached the border of Qi State, so Wu Chi reined in his horse to report, "Your Majesty, we have already reached the border of Qi State, should we continue to move forward?"

Before Han Xin could answer, Kuai Che raised his horsewhip and said, "Continue heading south! Don't you see that His Majesty is in high spirits? I heard that the scenery ahead is very beautiful and there are many prey. Your Majesty is going to hunt!"

The corner of Wu Chi's mouth twitched, he cupped his hands on the horse, and steered the horse forward.The Qi army went out of the state of Qi and entered the land of Lu. After traveling for a few days, they happened to pass through Dong'e.But I saw Dong'e City, the city gate was closed tightly, and there were many banners and flags on the top of the city. Many soldiers stood under the banners, each of them bent their bows and set up arrows.

Han Xin couldn't help laughing, and said to Kuai Che who was beside him: "What are they doing? Thinking that Gu is going to attack Dong'a is impossible? But Gu didn't bring any siege equipment."

Kuai Che laughed and said, "Your Majesty is famous, so it's no wonder that Dong'a defender was frightened."

Han Xin smiled and sighed: "He is also loyal." Back then, after Xiang Liang died, King Huai of Chu granted Xiang Yu the Duke of Lu, and Lu happened to be Xiang Yu's fiefdom.In the previous life, after Xiang Yu slayed himself by the Wu River, all the original Chu lands surrendered to Liu Bang, only the Lu lands refused to surrender.Liu Bang later had people hold Xiang Yu's head and came to Ludi. They believed that Xiang Yu was really dead, and finally surrendered helplessly.

Han Xin immediately sent an order to the Qi army to silence the flags and drums, bypass Dong'e City, and continue southward.The guard of Dong'e City couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had received an amnesty, he strictly ordered the soldiers not to attack the Qi army.

On this day, the Qi army marched about a hundred miles north of Huling, and saw a forest with lush vegetation.There is a small stream meandering through the forest, the water is clear, and blue-gray fish are seen swimming in the stream from time to time.Going down for about a mile, the stream converges into a small pool, surrounded by trees, which is very quiet.

Han Xin liked the scenery here very much, so he couldn't help reining in his horse, looked up at the sky, saw that the sun was about to set, and said, "Set up camp here."

With an order, in the open space near the small pool after leaving the woods, those of the Qi army camped, those who fetched water fetched water, and those who cooked cooked.Han Xin got off his horse, beckoned Ah Zhong, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from King Xiang?"

Because the trip was confidential, this time Ah Zhong was in charge of the scouts personally to inquire about the news.He shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Han Xin felt a little disappointed, but counting the days, today is only March [-]th, two days before the alliance meeting, and the capital of Chu State is farther away from Huling, not to mention that Xiang Yu has to go north, and he has to be protected by embankments. When Liu Bang found out, he felt relieved.

He took out the fishing rod, found a big tree to lean against, hung the bait on the hook, threw the hook into the stream, and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.

Back then in Huaiyin, after he was disliked by people for eating a meal, he had to learn to fish in the river to satisfy his hunger.At first he couldn't catch a single fish all day, but later, his fishing skills became more and more proficient, and he could always catch a few fish every day.Otherwise, relying on the food provided by his floating mother, he probably wouldn't be able to survive to join Xiang Liang's army.

Thinking of the poverty in the past and thinking about the present, Han Xin's face could not help softening, he relaxed his back, leaned against the big tree, and showed a relaxed and comfortable smile on his face.

At this moment, he suddenly felt vigilant, as if someone was secretly spying on him, and it seemed to come from the direction of Xiaotan.Han Xin hurriedly turned his head to look, but there was no one at the small pool, but four or five sika deer, strolling leisurely out of the woods, ran to the pool and bowed their heads to drink water.

Are these beasts looking at me?Han Xin couldn't help laughing.
