Chapter 197: Presenting the Seal
Wei Liao nodded and said, "General, there is actually something I want to tell you very early, but I have never had the right opportunity. But today, I have to say it."
Xiang Zhuang was silent, he had already guessed what Wei Liao wanted to say.[]
Sure enough, Wei Liao said directly: "General, give the Qin King's jade seal to Han Xin."
Bailixian's face changed slightly when he heard this. He gave the Qin King's Jade Seal to Han Xin?! Bailixian instinctively wanted to object, but he swallowed it back into his stomach when he spoke.
If you think about it carefully, Wei Liao's words seem to be reasonable.
Xiang Zhuang was still silent, but he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
Wei Liao sighed and patiently advised: "General, every man is innocent, he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"
An ordinary man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. Wei Liao has already made his words very straightforward. Before he has insufficient strength, possessing the Qin King's jade seal will only bring disaster to Xiangzhuang.
Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, and Wei Liao's words undoubtedly made sense.
In history, wasn’t Sun Jian, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, ambushed by Liu Biao and defeated and died because of his private possession of the jade seal? Didn’t Yuan Shu have the idea of becoming emperor because of his personal possession of the jade seal and was eventually besieged by heroes?
So, really giving the Qin King's Jade Seal to Han Xin? Xiang Zhuang is really reluctant to let it go. This is a treasure!
However, the benefits of giving the Qin King's Jade Seal to Han Xin are also obvious, and this is undoubtedly a wonderful move!
When Han Xin obtained the Qin King's Jade Seal, his relationship with Liu Bang would immediately become very subtle. Although Liu Bang was the leader of the nominal kings, the Han State could not be compared with Qi State in terms of national strength or military strength. Once Han Xin possessed the Qin King's Jade Seal, he would no longer be able to obey the Han State's Jade Seal.
That's right, Han Xin is a trustworthy person and is indeed grateful to Liu Bang.
However, human nature is very complex. No one can guess or figure out what Han Xin's inner world is, but if you analyze it carefully, there are still traces to find.
Before he became famous, Han Xin could endure the humiliation under his crotch. After destroying Qi, he decisively submitted a letter to Liu Biao for the title of King of Qi. This shows that Han Xin is not only a real man who can bend and stretch, but also an ambitious person. He is also a little proud, and may also be a little lacking in mind and does not know the art of power and intent.
Later, when the Chu and Han were competing for power and stalemate, Wu She lobbied Han Xin to rebel against Han and become independent, but Han Xin refused. Fan Yang's debater Kuai Che also advised Han Xin to become independent. Han Xin was also unmoved and said the touching words of Liu Bang "removing his clothes and clothes, pushing me to eat and eat me." This shows that Han Xin is another person who values love and friendship.
A complex person like Han Xin is the king of Qi. He has more army than Liu Bang, more population than Liu Bang, stronger national strength than Liu Bang, and even more invincible in the world when fighting. Once he obtains the jade seal of the King of Qin, the possibility of offering it to Liu Bang is almost zero. This can be concluded from the fact that he submitted a letter to the King of Qi after he destroyed Qi.
After destroying Qi, Han Xin's first thought was not to hand over Qi to King Liu Bang of Han, but to submit a letter to ask for a farewell to King Qi. Now, after obtaining the jade seal of King Qin, Han Xin's first thought was definitely not to present the jade seal to Liu Bang, but to take the jade seal for himself, because the jade seal of King Qin could bring Han Xin higher glory - the throne!
Because of the previous analysis, Han Xin is also an ambitious person at heart.
Of course, Han Xin also values friendship, so as long as Liu Bang does not do too much, Han Xin will never take the initiative to get into a bad relationship with Liu Bang. In Liu Bang's lifetime, Han Xin is unlikely to ascend the throne to emperor, but after Liu Bang's death, after Han Xin's psychological and moral shackles were removed, he would probably be emperor!
It is precisely because Han Xin valued friendship that after presenting the Qin King's jade seal in Xiangzhuang, he would no longer make things difficult for the Chu army.
Because the ancients valued the title, treasures like the Qin King's Jade Seal were no less valuable than those of a country. Han Xin received such great benefits from Xiangzhuang. If he had to continue to make things difficult for the Chu army, let alone he could not pass the psychological barrier, even the powerful people of the whole world would curse him.
More importantly, after Xiang Zhuang presented the jade seal, the relationship between Qi and Chu will be greatly eased. Three or five years later, even if Liu Bang set up a large army to attack Da Chu again, Han Xin would probably not join in the fun again.
Gritting his teeth, Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Jin Xiang, "Go and find Mr. Wu She."
That night, Wu She took a small boat to cross the river quietly under the cover of the night. Wu She also carried a small bag with her, which contained the Qin King's jade seal that all heroes from all over the world dreamed of! Of course, Wu She was not alone, and Hu Yan Zhengde was accompanied by "protecting". The Qin King's jade seal was the most treasure in the world, and Xiang Zhuang must be careful.
As for why Huyan Zhengde was sent only but not others, the reason is very simple, because Huyan Zhengde was a Hun and lacked enough understanding of the value of the Qin King's jade seal and was not easily tempted. If he sent others, even a Chu army general like Huan Chu and Ji Bu would not be able to protect his unfavorable intentions when facing the treasure.
#############
Three days later, Han Xin's 50,000 army arrived in Dong'a County. As for the 20,000 vanguard army led by Cao Shen, they had already passed Dong'a, less than a hundred miles away from the White Horse.
When they advanced to Dong'a, the Qi army did not enter the city, but instead set up a camp outside the city.
Although the King of Qi was invited by the King of Liang this time, the State of Liang did not have the obligation to provide military rations to the Qi army.
Speaking of which, it is difficult for all counties and counties in the Liang State. Except for a few wealthy families and rich gentry, most common people can only rely on peeling tree bark and digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Seeing the people of Liang State so difficult, Han Xin for no reason remembered the scene when he was in a downturn in his early years. He was immediately sympathetic and ordered Lou Jing to say, "Asia, you will write a letter and send it back to Linzi. In addition to the five thousand hu of wheat seeds originally planned to be lent to Liang State, an additional five thousand hu will be added to Dongjun as soon as possible."
"Now!" Lou Jing responded, "I will go back to compile the book..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the personal military captain Cheng Hei suddenly stepped into the tent and bowed in his hand, "King, there is a guy who claims to be Wushe of Xuyi outside the gate. I want to see you."
"Wushe? Isn't he a debater under Xiang Zhuang's account?" Lou Jing was not in a hurry to leave.
When the Chu army was at its end, Wu She persuaded Peng Yue and Lu Ze to fight in Ao Cang with his perfect tongue, but in turn gave Xiang Zhuang a chance to go to Luoyang, Hangu, and Xianyang, which almost shook Liu Bang's foundation in Guanzhong. From then on, he became famous all over the world. Now Wu She's famous name is almost everyone, everyone knows it.
"It's this guy again." Han Xin shook his head and said, "Please come in."
"Here!" Cheng Hei bowed and took the order. After a while, he led the two into the tent.
The man in front was wearing a blue robe, and Han Xin still had a vague impression. It was obviously Wu She. The man following Wu She made Han Xin gasp. He was so arrogant. He was nearly half a foot tall. In the winter, he only wore a beast-skinned robe. His arms were exposed, and his muscles were as thick as the thighs of ordinary men!
Han Xin looked back at Cheng Hei. Cheng Hei was nine feet tall and had a waist of ten. He was considered a strong man in Qi State, but he was still slightly inferior to the big man in front of him.
Cheng Hei obviously realized that the man in front of him was not a Yi Yu person. Although his weapons and Wu She were searched before entering the tent, Cheng Hei still held his sword to protect Han Xin in front of him.
Wu She ignored Cheng Hei's little plot and paid homage to Han Xin according to the etiquette of the envoy: "Wu She, the staff member of the General of the Great Chu, will meet with the King of Qi."
Han Xin replied, "Mr. Wu She, are you safe?"
"Thank you for the blessing of the king." Wu She smiled slightly and stood up with the flow.
Now Han Xin introduced Lou Jing to Wu She again, and Wu She also introduced Hu Yan Zhengde to Han Xin and Lou Jing. When he heard that Hu Yan Zhengde was a Hu man from the Huns, Han Xin couldn't help but secretly wonder, thinking that Xiang Zhuang is really capable, even the Huns can recruit under his command. This is much better than his cousin Xiang Yu.
The guest and host took a seat, and Han Xin said: "Sir, I don't know what is the price for you?"
Wu She didn't say much nonsense, turned around and reached out to Hu Yan Zhengde. Hu Yan Zhengde took off the bag on his back and handed it to Wu She. Wu She put the bag on the table again, and then untied the bag. Under the black linen bag, there was another white linen bag. Untied the white linen bag, and there was another yellow silk bag inside!
Han Xin and Lou Jing were a little surprised. What kind of treasure is this? It needs to be covered with three layers of skin?
In a while, Wu She had already untied Huang Ling's burden. In an instant, a beautiful jade seal was presented to Han Xin and Lou Jing without reservation. Lou Jing was knowledgeable. When he saw it, he suddenly felt like he was stung by a hornet. He suddenly bounced up and said in a trembling voice: "This, this, this, this, this...the jade seal of the King of Qin?"
"What?!" Han Xin's face changed drastically when he heard this, "The King of Qin's Jade Seal?"
Wu She sighed in her heart. Anyway, he couldn't figure it out anyway. Why did the General give the Qin King's jade seal to Han Xin? Thinking about the time, the former king took a lot of effort to take the jade seal from Liu Bang, but now he wants to give it to Han Xin for free. Why?!
Besides, if the Qin King’s jade seal is returned to Han Xin, does it mean that Han Xin is the emperor who is destined to be?
So in the future, after the General ascended the throne of Chu, wouldn’t he be complacent to Han Xin? So how could this work?
However, Wu She had no choice but to do so when he was so arrogant, he held up the Qin King's jade seal with both hands, held it high above his head and said to Han Xin: "According to the General of the Great Chu, present the Qin King's jade seal to the King of Qi!"
Han Xin came up almost anxiously and took the jade seal with both hands.
