Chapter 25 The Prophet
Zangyan sent Wu She out of Liaodong. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked him to convey his respect to the Overlord, hoping that the Overlord would send troops to rescue Liaodong as soon as possible. Wu She agreed one by one, said a lot of inspiring and beautiful words before riding his horse with his followers.
As soon as Zangyan turned around, Wu She turned his horse's head and headed straight for Jicheng under Han Xin's control. On the way, Wu She found out that a fellow villager was working in Han Xin's army, so she prepared some gold and silver to pay homage.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers outside Jicheng, and they were already in combat readiness. Wu She was brought into the city by a group of Yan soldiers under the banner of visiting this fellow villager. An officer riding a horse arrogantly pointed at Wu She's forehead with a horse whip and asked, "Where are you from? What are you doing in Yan State?"
Wu Shedao; "I am a Korean. I came to Yan State just to pay my respects to my friend 'Kuai Tong', hoping that he could recommend me to be a clerk under the King of Yan's account, and there was nothing else to ask for."
When the officer heard that it was Kuai Tong's friend, he immediately returned his clothes and smiled. Who wouldn't know that Kuai Tong was the biggest celebrity in front of the King of Yan, and he was better than Zhang Liang, the prime minister of Yan State.
"It turns out that he is Mr. Kuai Tong's friend. Please follow me to loosen the ties and loosen the ties."
The attitudes of these people made Wu She see hope. Kuai Tong has such influence in Jicheng and can definitely help. Kuai Tong almost couldn't recognize Wu She. He stammered for a long time before laughing, "So it's - Brother Wu - why did you suddenly arrive in Yan State? Didn't you hear that you were working together under the throne of the Western Chu King?"
Wu She looked at the soldiers escorting him out and sighed, "The King of Western Chu is about to be defeated, so I have no choice but to come to join you." Kuai Tong heard his implicit voice, stroked his goatee beard, and smiled, "The King of Western Chu is victorious in every battle, and he will defeat everything. How could he be defeated? Brother Wu will joke with me."
Kuai Tong was one head taller than Wu She, with a strong body, like a general, with a yellow face and a listless expression, as if he had been ill for a long time. Wu She shook her head and waved her hand; "Brother Kuai must not be an official voice anymore. Let's open the skylight to speak loudly. The situation of the Western Chu King is very beautiful, but in fact it is awful. Hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers, with swords and spears and armor as mountains, but there is no place to use martial arts. King Qin, Peng Yue, Wang Ben, Dong Yi, and the newly arrived in Huainan, and the Yan King Han Xin have woven into the pocket array, hitting the Overlord, the tiger, inside. The Overlord is about to have a different body and head. This matter can be hidden from the world, but it can't be hidden from Kuai Tong. Why do you have to joke with me and be careless?"
Kuai Tong picked up a glass of wine from the desk and handed it to Wu She, saying, "I've been dry and moistened my throat. I've probably already understood your purpose, and Brother Wu doesn't have to say much. However, this matter is not easy to do. We need to meet Zhang Liang, the prime minister of Yan State, and Ji Xin, to see what they said. General Lu Wan is fighting outside, but I am alone and can't speak. I will tell you the truth. The King of Yan is very stubborn."
Wu She and Han Xin are also old acquaintances, and they have a little understanding of Han Xin's character. They think Han Xin is just a bit arrogant and loyal to his friends. Therefore, they are only half-believing and half-doubting about Kuai Tong's words.
Kuai Tong held a banquet to entertain Wu She, and took Wu She to Zhang Liang's mansion at dusk. Zhang Liang also recognized Wu She, and when he saw him come in, he guessed sixty or seventy percent of the meaning. Wu She saw Zhang Liang bowing and kneeling down, Zhang Liang hugged him and sighed, "Sir, don't be too polite, they are all old friends, please take a seat." Wu She felt that Zhang Liang's words were a little desolate and tragic, very strange, bowed his waist and sat in the last seat. Kuai Tong walked over and muttered in Zhang Liang's ears for a while, probably saying that Wu She was the purpose of coming. Zhang Liang nodded, waved his hand, indicating that he had understood, and a dim light in his eyes showed his spirit, and said without any energy; "It's best to end this matter. Mr. Wu She should go back to China. The King of Yan would never cooperate with Xiang Yu, so I'm sorry I can't help."
Wu She did not tell Kuai Tong about his strategy to unite the Huns against Qin. He wanted to use a series of strategies to stabilize Han Xin so that the Huns could occupy Jicheng without realizing it. However, he did not expect that Zhang Liang had such an attitude. His heart, like a charcoal, was immediately extinguished by cold water, and black smoke rose and rose on his face.
"Prime Minister, please think twice. This matter not only concerns the survival of Western Chu but also the Yan State--" Wu She stood up excitedly. He knew that Zhang Liang was not confused.
Zhang Liang is indeed not confused, and he is much smarter than him. What he wants to say is the same as a mirror in his heart, but he knows that with Han Xin's narrow mind, it is absolutely impossible to abandon his personal hatred with Xiang Yu and join forces to deal with the tyrannical Qin.
Wu She didn't know what Zhang Liang was thinking, and was still talking nonsense: "Can the Prime Minister know the danger of Yan State at this moment? The reason why Yan State survived was because all the princes were rebelling against the tyrannical Qin, among which the King of Western Chu had the strength to swallow the world, and the Qin State's judgment war had never been interrupted. Now, for his own interests, the King of Yan wanted to destroy the King of Liaodong Han Guang and annex the three counties of Liaodong as soon as possible, but have you ever thought about it? Once Han Guang was eliminated, the Qin people would have won a complete victory in the east.
Next they will go south to deal with Western Chu. The Western Chu was surrounded by food and grass, and there were insufficient soldiers. They would definitely be defeated. Western Chu was defeated. King Hengshan Wu Rui and the leader of the minority leader Yue Wang, who was behind Wu Rui, would definitely raise white flags. At that time, Ying Bu occupied Huainan, Dong Yi killed Han*, King Qin unified east and south, Guan Ying unified Qi State, and Peng Yue stationed in Liangdi, leaving only one Yan State alone, trembling in the bitter cold in the north. In my opinion, I am afraid it will become a thorn in the eyes of the Qin people.
Yan State was surrounded on three sides, facing the Huns in the north, and there was no way out. Please think twice." When Wu She said this, he avoided the seat and lay on the ground, giving Zhang Liang a big gift.
Zhang Liang had his own thoughts in his heart. On the one hand, he knew that Han Xin had hated Xiang Yu to his bones and could not cooperate with Chu State; on the other hand, Wu She's words sounded reasonable at first glance, but in fact there were many loopholes. Although the Qin people were a country of tigers and wolves, Western Chu was not a group of ambitious barbarians. No matter which force was bigger, the life of Yan State would not be easy in the future. Han Xin's strategic intention was actually correct, but the idea was too memorable and the time for choice was not very good. Han Xin and Zhang Liang wanted to take advantage of Qin Chu.
The opportunity to compete for hegemony quickly expanded its strength, defeated Han Guang and unified Yan State, then invaded the Goryeo Peninsula, and sent troops to seize a large piece of land under the control of the Huns, and established a powerful country in the north that could compete with Qin Chu. This was a solution. But now the problem is that if Han Xin insisted on following the original strategy, it would be equivalent to invisibly helping the Qin people, and the balance between Qin and Chu would be broken, and Yan State would lose the opportunity to continue to develop. What should we do?"
Seeing Zhang Liangchen's face, Kuai Tong was hesitant and said quickly, "Since the Prime Minister cannot make a decision, it is better to report to the king and ask the king to sever his own punishment. No matter what, Mr. Wu She is also an envoy of the King of Western Chu. According to etiquette, King Yan wants to meet the previous one." The implication is to ask Zhang Liang to recommend him.
Zhang Liang could not hear what he meant. Since becoming the King of Yan, Han Xin has a lot of temper and likes to scold his subordinates. When he is unhappy, he will find fault and vent his anger. Kuai Tong is afraid of hitting a nail, so he deliberately kicked the ball to Zhang Liang's feet. Although he saw through the trick, Zhang Liang did not refuse. Han Xin has always been very polite to him. It is related to national affairs and the Cheng is quite kind. However, he had already thought that the ending was decided. Wushe, there was no chance.
With the introduction of Zhang Liang and Kuai Tong, Wu She naturally easily met Han Xin. Han Xin’s life is also very comfortable now. The room full of fragrant beauties live in a spacious mansion, wearing silk and satin, guards and maids are in groups, and officials entering and leaving the palace gate are surrounded by them. There are layers of personal soldiers in front of the gate of the palace, and there are crossbowmen behind the palace to be on guard. They sing and dancing all day long, drinking and listening to music, and enjoy it.
As soon as Zhang Liang approached the palace gate, he heard the orchestrastic songs and dances inside, and the soft jade and warm fragrance, and couldn't help but frown. Wu She didn't find it strange. The king usually has this kind of virtue. But Zhang Liang felt that at this moment, before it was time to enjoy himself, Han Xin's ambition was almost wiped out by the makeup.
"Report to the king, the prime minister and the censor Mr. Kuai Tong, to ask for a meeting."
Han Xin looked at her legs crossed, took a sip of the mellow and dark red grape wine, and said lightly, "Xuan!" Zhang Liang, Kuai Tong and Wu She came through a group of singers, with pores all over her body standing up, and she couldn't help but have an indecent physiological reaction. She hurriedly lowered her head and bowed her waist, walked quickly to Han Xin's desk, and lay on the ground to salute: "See the king, Zhang Liang has something to do." Han Xin looked at Zhang Liang and said with a stern face, "Get up and talk."
Zhang Liang and Kuai Tong stood up, and Wu She still knelt down. Zhang Liang said, "This is the envoy from Western Chu, Mr. Wu She." Wu She bowed her waist like a yawning dog and shouted loudly; "Wu She, the envoy of Western Chu, will meet the King of Yan, the King of Yan will live forever, and the King of Yan will be invincible in the world."
The flame shot out from Han Xin's eyes and almost turned into two laser rays to hit Wu She's body with two transparent holes: "Emunique of Western Chu, hum, what are you doing in my country of Yan? Don't jump, get out of me-" With a thud, Han Xin swept the cups, plates, bowls, and fruit wine pots on the table, stood up and said sternly; "How could the dignified Western Chu King send someone to see me? You must have made a mistake."
When the maid and singer saw the king getting angry, he immediately ran out like a wind and clouds. The palace where he was singing and dancing just now was instantly lingering with a layer of invisible murderous aura.
"You have reported to the King of Qi that Wu She did not come by the orders of the King of Western Chu. In fact, the King of Western Chu ordered Wu She to go to Qi to lobby Guan Ying. However, Wu She met a Taoist priest on the way. He had a great magical power and boundless magic power. He could turn stones into gold, refine water into oil, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, travel thousands of miles a day, understand the heaven and earth, and travel thousands of years above and thousands of years below. He guided me to see the King of Yan."
Not only did Han Xin say this, but even Zhang Liang and Kuai Tong almost fell into a stroke and were paralyzed. They thought to themselves, what medicine is sold in Wushe's gourd, and what kind of mess is it?
Han Xin suddenly laughed, sat back at the desk with a smile, and hummed, "You said you met a Taoist priest who could fly and escape from the sky?" Wu She said firmly; "That's right, it's true." Han Xin said; "Then, what does this have to do with me?" Wu She raised her head slightly.
Han Xin said; "Sitting for the seat."
Wu She sat down at the desk, bowed her hand, took a deep breath, and took out a long and long speech. Zhang Liang hurriedly said, "Please tell me a long story short, the king is very busy." Wu She said, "This matter must be said from the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that the king will not understand the mystery." Han Xinxin thought that only Wang Ao and Fan Zeng, the wise men in the world can still make me admire a little, and the rest are just mediocre talents. What Wu She said is clearly fabricated, and I won't even believe half of the sentence, but then he can have fun.
"Okay, then you can talk slowly."
"King. The Japanese minister followed the order of the King of Western Chu to lobby Guan Ying. He passed by a mountain and came to a crossroads. He lost his path and didn't know where to go. There was a god on the mountain who could drive a flying dragon and travel around the world. He blocked my way and said to me, "I see that you are smart in heaven and have a spiritual aura. Why don't you go back to the mountain with me to practice and will surely achieve the right result in the daytime ascending to the sun." Seeing that he has strong magic power, I naturally didn't dare to contradict me and hurriedly told me.
He himself went to Yan State to meet the king. Who knew that when the Taoist heard this, he laughed so hard that he fell back and forth. I was very surprised and a little angry, so he said to him the reason for civilization. The Taoist said, "You are so stupid. You don't see two ancient people coming towards you. You can know what happened to you when you ask them." I was stunned and saw the black fog in front of me, and there were two magnificent shadows hidden in the black fog, and asked quickly, "Who is it?"
The Taoist laughed and said, "Isn't it Meng Tian and Bai Qi? Bai Qi was the Qin general, Nan Zheng Chu. He attacked Yingdu for several months. Millions of the six countries became ghosts under his sword. Since then, the six countries were no longer able to compete with Qin. The First Emperor unified the world, which was already ruined. Meng Tian drove the Qin general north to expel Rong Di and defeated the Xiongnu. The soldiers who controlled the string were as if they saw a god. They were so scared that they ran away without fighting. The Xiongnu was forced to withdraw from Hetao, and the land of thousands of miles was Qin.
The country is so successful. What a merit. These two are famous generals, and their merits are unparalleled in history. In the end, they were beheaded. The king of Yan you are going to meet will not be long after according to the calculations of this Taoist priest. The country of Qin and tigers and wolves like to do the most is to repay kindness and revenge, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. The greater the credit you make, the faster you will die. I advise you not to go to Yan State to meet a dying person, and go back to the mountain to practice with me.' I saw that it was crazy
He talked nonsense and grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand and shot him hard. However, the Taoist priest was in the air with free seven-colored auspicious clouds protecting his body. The arrows seemed to have shot into the quagmire and disappeared in an instant. There was neither heaven nor landing. I was so scared that I was covered in cold sweat. However, I still dissatisfied and cursed sternly. "You demon, you are clearly demonic. King Yan Hong Fu Qitian, how could you end up with the two short-lived ghosts Meng Tian and Bai Qi?"
The Taoist priest laughed, and with a wave of his robe, eight big words appeared in the air. He continued, "The fate of the King of Yan was good, but he had already taken the wrong path, so it was difficult to turn back. These eight words are a portrayal of his second half of his life. You can think about it carefully, just because it is related to the secrets of heaven, so I am not convenient for me to reveal it." When I saw that the eight words were written, "It is hoped for success and life will be ruined" I said; if you wrote it wrong, it should be "Success and fame"
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "I have already told the secret of heaven for most of the time. I may be punished after returning to the Heavenly Court. But I am in love with you and really want to help you. I will not say anything anymore. You kneel down and kowtow, I will accept you as my disciple, and teach you my innate Bagua Fuxi magical powers so that you can also tell fortunes and fortunes. If you meet the King of Yan, you will see it clearly. Isn't that happy, and it also proves that I have not lie to you.
When I saw the Taoist priest's magical powers, of course he was willing to learn. So the Taoist priest jumped off the dragon, drew many figures with branches, and said a lot to me, telling me all the numerology. Finally, when I fully understood, I said to me, 'This is the innate Eight Trigrams played by King Wen Fuxi. The name is called "Qimen Dunjia" and can be predicted in the future. It has the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. Today I will teach you, it is the fate of the two of us. Remember, even if you die, you cannot reveal it. Otherwise, not only will you be hit by the thunder in heaven, but even those who hear it will inevitably die in a sudden disaster. After that, the Taoist priest turned into a burst of blue smoke and rode a dragon, disappearing without a trace. I wanted to chase after and ask the Taoist priest's name, it was too late."
Wu She said so much in one breath. Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Kuai Tong were like a storyteller. He listened with relish and his neck became stiff. Kuai Tong even asked, "Can the gods still be found!"
Han Xin suddenly woke up and thought, is it true or false? He was also half-believing and half-doubted. Han Xin still believed in the matter of gods and ghosts from his heart. Not only Han Xin, but Zhang Liang believed it even more, but neither of them had really seen each other, so he felt a little envious in his expression.
The entry point that Wu She found is very good.
"You said that the god has taught you the magic of the "Qimen Dunjia" that can give you a face to face, okay, okay, I don't say whether you are a liar, let's confirm it, you can give me a face to face. If you see it correctly, everything will depend on you. If you are not sure, please go back to the country to report to Xiang Yu, and say that Han Xin and him have nothing to say, so we will meet each other in the future."
