When Han Xin heard that Qin sent Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi to serve as an envoy, he almost laughed and tilted his chin. Those two idiots could do human affairs!

Fortunately, Lu Ze and Lu Shi had no holiday with Han Xin before. The relationship between the two sides was not very good and not very bad. There was always a three-point love when they met, and Han Xin didn't want to make things difficult for them.

After waiting for half a cup of tea in the hall, Han Xin came with his big sleeves and a big hip sword. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed. "It turned out that they were two brothers Lu, rare, rare."

When they arrived at the territory of the people, the Lu brothers did not dare to be crazy and quickly stood up and returned the greeting. "General Han, our brothers have come to make peace this time according to the will of the King of Qin."

Han Xin laughed and waved his hand to signal the two to sit down. A servant immediately presented incense tea!

Han Xin sat in the middle of the case and sneered, "Why did the King of Qin think of making peace with me, an unknown man? Didn't he send Wang Ben to wipe me out?"

Lu Ze almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself that you are not an unknown man, your reputation is known to everyone in the world.

Lu Shizhi said carelessly, "That's all the past. The King of Qin now appreciates and attaches great importance to you, General Han. In addition, our brothers often praise you in front of the King of Qin, so the King of Qin specially sent us to discuss with you." Lu Shizhi still couldn't forget to take the opportunity to be a good person.

Of course, Han Xin knew that these two idiots could not have any status in front of Ying Hu Hai. He didn't need Ying Hu Hai to appreciate it.

"Does the King of Qin want me, Han Xin, to surrender to the tyrant Qin? This is simply a joke. I, Han Xin, and tyrant Qin, have different hatreds from Dai Tian, ​​and the water of the Three Rivers cannot be washed clean. How could he have such a thought? Being crazy?"

Lu Shizhi gave a wink at Lu Ze, and Lu Ze smiled, "Let's not talk about these things for now. Our brothers are not all for the King of Qin. We also want to come and see Brother Han Xin. I really miss you a little since I haven't seen you for a long time. We also bring you a gift - haha ​​- come, bring everyone."

A wave of chaotic footsteps came, and a group of graceful and delicate girls in gold and silver appeared in line in Han Xin's sight. Lv Ze smiled and said, "General Han, I hope you accept it with a smile, our brothers are here to give you gifts."

Han Xin felt disdainful. These two boys had only a little success and could not get on the table. Han Xin is now a prince who is in power, and there are naturally many beauties around him. He glanced lightly and asked someone to take him down.

"Han Xin is ashamed to accept the affection of the two brothers Lu. However, the Qin King's orders were forbidden to obey Han Xin and asked me to be a minister unless 'the mountains are ridgeless and the sky is united, the winter thunder is shaking, and the summer rain and snow'."

The Lü brothers are so angry. Han Xin, you are so good. You can only eat and not vomit. If you accept the gift, you will not do anything. Lu Zexin said that this time I will pay.

Lu Shizhi frowned and said, "I said General Han, you are wrong to think so. The King of Qin has never said that you would be a minister for him. The King of Qin wants us to come here this time to make you the king." This statement seemed to be quite unexpected by Han Xin. Han Xin sneered, "Wang Ben's army is approaching, and even his place is almost gone, so why are you still going to be the king!"

Lu Shizhi smiled and took out a sheepskin from his arms and handed it to Han Xin; "This is the handwritten edict of the King of Qin, which enthroned General Han as the King of Yan. As long as you nod, Wang Ben's army will immediately withdraw from Yan State and will not invade the East again. The power of our Great Qin will never pass Juyong Pass."

Han Xin was moved and said, "Is it true or false?" He reached out to take the sheepskin.

Lu Ze patted his chest and said, "We brothers never lie." Han Xin smiled bitterly in his heart, but I'm afraid he never told the truth.

The Qin King's edict was covered with the seal of the King of Qin, which was indeed a false change. It clearly stated that as long as Han Xin agreed to the peace talks, he would be appointed King of Yan and granted him all Shanggu, Liaodong, and Liaoxi counties. The implication was nothing more than asking Han Xin to attack Han Guang and Zangtu.

Wang Zhu did this with his intention. He wanted to take advantage of the war between Han Xin and Han Guang to capture Qi. Han Xin was a military strategist, but he was a political idiot. Such a strategy should have been hidden from him. I think if Kuai Tong hadn't advised him many times back then, I would have been afraid that Han Xin would not even be able to sit on the King of Qi.

After reading the edict, Han Xin fell into silence.

Lv Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How about General Han? This is not something that can be cedes land and become kings every year. Although you are from Chu, Xiang Yu will not be so kind to you. You are already incompatible with Xiang Yu. If you fall in love with Qin, you will be attacked on both sides. I am afraid that one day will be - haha."

A glimmer of light flashed in Han Xin's eyes, and the blue veins on his neck jumped out. It was obvious that he was angry by these two frivolous words of Lu Ze. It seemed that Lu Ze was really not suitable to be an envoy.

Seeing Han Xin angry, Lu Shizhi became wise in anger and laughed loudly, "The King of Qin is also afraid of offending both the King of Western Chu and General Han at the same time. In that case, our Qin State will inevitably be defeated one day."

Han Xin snorted coldly and forced himself to suppress his anger.

Lu Ze seemed to be shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly made up for it. "General Han is one of the few heroes in the world. In the past, Mrs. Lu and our brothers also admire General Han very much. I believe the general can understand the painstaking efforts of the King of Qin."

Han Xin thought that although Lu Ze was the most stinky, what he said was quite reasonable. In the current situation, Qin and Chu were the strongest among all the princes. Judging from my current strength, if they offended them all, they would be unable to get a good deal. Measurement of a country's strength is not only about the quality of the commander and the number of troops and the excellent weapons of the army, but the most important thing is the food and grass and the hearts of the people. Han Xin, the one I lack most now is these two. Without these two backings, it is impossible to fight against two powerful countries at the same time. I was originally a Chu country, and it would be best if I could get Xiang Yu's enthronement. But how could Xiang Yu be a stalker? Han Xin hated her teeth when she thought of Xiang Yu. I was different from this arrogant man Dai Tian.

"Haha!" Han Xin suddenly laughed and stood up; "If the King of Qin is really sincere, then the two will order Wang Ben from outside the city to withdraw his troops. After Wang Ben withdraws his troops, Han Xin immediately formed an alliance with the King of Qin. If the two cannot do it, they will just play tricks on me, and we don't need to talk about anything, please go back."

Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi thought to themselves, what's the difficulty? We were originally sent by the king. Wang Ben is what? Lu Shizhi said; "Brother, you wait here, I'll go out of the city to see Wang Ben." Lu Ze rolled his eyes. Everyone knew that staying here was a hostage, and no one wanted to stay. The second brother was really cruel. Lu Ze thought again, forget it, who made us the boss, and of course he carried it on his shoulders with a heavy burden.

Lu Shizhi left Jicheng and rode his horse to the military camp outside the city to meet Wang Ben. As soon as he met, he explained Han Xin's meaning. Lu Shizhi originally thought that Wang Ben would withdraw the camp without hesitation. Unexpectedly, Wang Ben did not argue and had no intention of retreating. Lu Ze was still in Han Xin's hands. At this time, it was definitely not fun to play with Han Xin.

Lu Shizhi was in a fire; "I said General Wang, you should express your opinion no matter what, whether to withdraw?" Wang Ben said something and almost pissed Lu Shizhi to death; "General Lu doesn't need to worry. This general has no right to withdraw troops at all. This general is given the order of the king, and the withdrawal of troops-"

Lu Shi's way; "Didn't the king's will say that as long as Han Xin is willing to accept the canonization, let the general withdraw?" Wang Ben sighed; "The problem is that Han Xin has not accepted the canonization until now." Lu Shiyi was stunned.

Wang Ben actually had two concerns about doing this. First, he had sent troops for six or seven months. He only captured Wei and Zhao and besieged Yan for three months. He made little progress. He had already had a complete set of combat plans in his mind. After a while, he might be able to capture Han Xin in one go and let him retreat like this. Second, he was afraid that this was Han Xin's treacherous plan. If Han Xin took advantage of his retreat and suddenly attacked, the army was defeated, and the Wei and Zhao would no longer be in the state.

These principles are just like Lu Shizhi, a layman general, who is playing the piano against donkeys, and Wang Ben has to mess with him.

Lu Shi was so angry that he was so arrogant. "Wang Ben, let me tell you, no matter what, my sister is still the wife of the King of Qin. If one day I give birth to a man and a half woman - be careful. Are you trying to kill my elder brother?"

Wang Ben did not dare to follow this sentence and sneered, "I will be responsible for the entire army and cannot listen to any orders. Without the will of the king, I will never withdraw my troops."

Seeing that Lu Shizhi couldn't scare him, his legs weakened and he knelt down to Wang Ben; "General, I beg you, my elder brother is still in the city. If Han Xin felt like we were fooled by him, my elder brother would definitely be gone."

Wang Ben thought to himself that if it delays the king's serious affairs and destroys the overall strategy, it is better to think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

"So, this general can withdraw the infantry and chariot soldiers to Dai County first, and the rest of the cavalry will continue to siege the city until Han Xin accepts the enthronement and tells the world."

Wang Ben did this first and effectively prevent Han Xin from taking the opportunity to raid, and secondly, he also prevented Han Xin from using his delayed strategy.

Lu Shizhi was still not very satisfied with Wang Ben's actions, but he looked at Wang Ben's stiff expression and knew that it would be useless to continue talking. He got up, rushed out of the tent, and rode back to Jicheng to reply.

Wang Ben's retreat was more rigorous than the attack.

During the retreat, the chariot soldiers and infantry strictly formed a semicircular defensive formation, retreating step by step, one formation followed the other. The soldiers were steadily and moved neatly, without any confusion. Although the speed was very slow, it was absolutely safe. The chariots and infantry cooperated with each other to form barriers that were stronger than the hills, calmly responding to threats that might come from all directions. In addition, Wang Ben ordered the main cavalry team to be divided into three groups, 30,000 people blocked the main road and held the camp. The other 20,000 were stationed in two forks respectively, ready to support the infantry teams that were retreating at any time.

This is impossible because after the last war, Wang Ben was very afraid of Han Xin.

Han Xin didn't think about taking advantage of Wang Ben's retreat to launch a sudden attack. He even thought about taking over the land of Wei and Zhao and then going to negotiate with the King of Qin. Wouldn't that be more perfect? ​​But when Lu Shizhi came back, he knew that there was no possibility. Wang Ben, an old guy, was too vigilant.

Three days after Wang Ben's infantry retreated, Han Xin accepted the title of King Qin and officially ascended the throne to become King Yan. Han Xin did not ask for the opinions of generals and counselors about this matter. He just said hello to Zhang Liang and others in the end. He felt that he had the ability to grasp the universe and there was no need to listen to others' longing.

Zhang Liang actually did not object to this matter, because he did not expect that the King of Qin was fighting against Qi.

Since the Qin King gave Han Xin all the land in Liaodong and western Liaoning, then King Yan Han Xin had an excuse to lead troops to expel King Han Guang of Liaodong. In addition, Wang Ben's army had all withdrawn from Yan State, so he was even more scruples.

In January of the sixth year of Qin II, Han Xin issued an edict to the world and officially became the King of Yan. In February of the same year, he raised 80,000 troops and headed straight to Liaodong to attack Han Guang and the old King of Yan Zangtu.

Although Han Guang and Han Xin were both surnamed Han, their abilities were very different, and he and Han * were in a match. There was no way. Han Guang could only ask for help from the guardian god Xi Chu King, but the Western Chu King was busy dealing with the rebel general Ying Bu at this time and could not be cloned at all, so he could only let it go.

Almost everything was under the calculations of Wang Zhu, Wang Ao and others. In addition to Qin and Qi, four major forces: Han Guang, Han Xin, Ying Bu, and Xiang Yu were all bound and unable to be separated. Only Qin and Qi were left, and they were outside the war. The time to conquer Qi was completely ripe.

Chen Ping came to Qi when Han Xin was king a month ago. Chen Ping came with a lot of money. After entering Linzi, he first met Tian Yezi, Tu Zhanyilong Tianqing and others, indicating that he was ordered to rescue Li Shiqi. The three of them received a generous gift from Wang Zhu, and felt that just saving people would not harm the interests of Qi, so they privately recommended him to meet Qi's prime minister Tian Heng.

When Chen Ping arrived at Qi, he immediately felt that this ancient oriental country was different from several other grass-roots countries that had been destroyed. There were palaces with steep walls and a vast vast vast land of fertile land. The palaces of King Qi in Linzi were magnificent, which was not inferior to the Dazheng Palace.

In addition, Chen Ping carefully analyzed the geography of Qi and the defense of the main gates along the way. He found that this place was indeed a strategic location that was inevitable.

Qi is located in the east of the East China Sea, north of the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River, south of Mount Tai, and hundreds of miles of Great Wall. Its land is vast and the situation is very good. Although the main forces of Qi were destroyed by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Pengcheng, its remaining forces still showed a strong cohesion, and there were many heroes who were convinced and dissatisfied. Just like the words that Tian Yezi often said, "We are Qi Huan, the descendants of Qi Wei, and we will not be afraid of any threat."

Indeed, Duke Huan of Qi and King Wei of Qi did leave the seeds of stubbornness and strength on this land. This place is not easy to conquer. (To be continued)
