In order to show sincerity, King Han Xin of Han gave up Yuci City to temporarily station the Han army in rest and rest.

The next day, King Han Xin personally escorted five thousand stones of military rations, thousands of carts of fodder and five hundred cattle and sheep to Yuci to reward the Han army. Lu Tai did not be polite to King Han Xin, and accepted it with a smile.

At the head of the city, Lu Tai said to King Han Xinsu: "King Han, I have never prepared fine wine, I can only use water instead of wine. I thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal soldier walked in with a kettle.

"I'll do it." Zhou Guanfu suddenly took the lead two steps and grabbed the kettle from his personal soldiers.

Seeing Zhou Guanfu pushing him toward him with murderous intent, King Han Xin was so shocked that he knelt up. The general of the Han army, Jie Fu, who stood behind King Han Xin, not only did not dare to step forward, but instead took several steps back. At this time, King Han Xin and the Han army in Jinyang had already heard of Zhou Guanfu's killing Ji Zhuo among the thousands of troops.

The Han army is not unfamiliar with Jizhu, and he is a famous general in the desert!

"You must not be rude to defeat him." Lu Tai frowned and gently stopped Zhou Guanfu.

Zhou Guanfu then groaned and slammed the kettle heavily on the desk in front of King Han Xin of Han.

After drinking Zhou Guanfu, Lu Tai asked King Han Xin again, "Do you dare to ask King Han, do you know the current situation in our country?"

"I really don't know when I say something to the general." Although Han Xin, the King of Han, wanted to show goodwill to Lu Tai, he really didn't know that there was news from Sanchuan in Guanzhong. For more than half a month, he has been focusing on how to resist the invasion of the Huns, and he has no longer paid much attention to the situation between Chu and Han.

Lu Tai was speechless, but his eyebrows were covered with a strong look of worry.

It has been more than a month since the Battle of Mianshui. I don’t know whether the king is alive or dead? And whether the Chu army has already attacked Guanzhong? I hope that Ya Xiang can turn the tide and defend Guanzhong. If Guanzhong has been lost, then his tens of thousands of cavalry will become homeless and lonely.

In the deep mountains and old forests, a group of more than ten Han troops overcome all obstacles and are moving forward with difficulty.

This team of Han army was the Han army Imperial Guard who rushed into Yaoshan more than a month ago.

However, their battle robes were already ragged by thorns, and their leather armor was also scattered, and they were all unkempt and haggard, almost the same as the savages.

Uncle Sun Ying split the bushes of thorns blocking in front of him with a sword, cut off a few small trees, cut off the branches and leaves, and put them on two slippery rocks. Then he turned around and told the Imperial Guard who was carrying a stretcher behind him: "Be careful not to slip!"

The two imperial guards did not dare to neglect them, so they carefully laid down the large stone platform with more than half a person on the stretcher. Chen Ping slowly slid down the stone platform with a crutch, and then came to the stretcher and asked with concern: "King, King?"

Liu Bang, who was lying on the stretcher, opened his eyes slightly, raised his right hand and waved.

Since the defeat of the Mianshui River, Liu Bang fled all the way and was frightened. After entering the mountain, he slept in the open again. After all, he was an old man in his seventies. After entering the mountain, Liu Bang fell ill a few days after entering the mountain. Although Chen Ping was proficient in medical skills, herbal medicine was everywhere in the mountains. However, Liu Bang was old and his physical condition was getting worse day by day.

Looking at Liu Bang, who was almost unable to open his eyelids, Chen Ping's eyebrows were filled with a strong look of worry. The king's condition was getting worse every day, but when he looked up, there were still mountains ahead with heavy peaks and peaks. I don't know when he could walk out? Could it be that the king really collapsed in the mountains?

Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Sun Ying found an open space and prepared to camp.

Just as Uncle Sun Ying put down his backpack and was about to look for water, he suddenly found something out of the corner of his eyes. Uncle Sun Ying didn't care much at first, but soon, he suddenly turned around and stared at the ridge not far ahead. Uncle Sun Ying's abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of more than a dozen imperial guards, and they turned their heads to look forward.

The next moment, more than a dozen imperial guards stood up at the same time, showing ecstasy expressions.

"Cooking smoke!" Uncle Sun Ying finally shouted in surprise inexplicably, "It's Cooking smoke!"

"Hmm?!" Chen Ping, who was putting his veins for Liu Bang, turned around and looked in the direction of his uncle Sun Ying's finger. Sure enough, he saw a faint smoke rising from behind the ridge. Although it was still a long distance away, Chen Ping could still clearly judge that it was not the mist in the mountains, it was the smoke in the cooking!

There was someone in front of him! Chen Ping's eyes were filled with ecstasy and finally walked out of Yaoshan!

"King!" The huge happiness filled Chen Ping's chest in an instant, and then turned to support Liu Bang's stretcher, crying with joy, "King, there is someone in front of us, we have come out, hahaha, we have finally come out, you have been saved, you have been saved, hahaha..."

Liu Bang on the stretcher did not respond at all.

"King? King!" Chen Ping's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly leaned into Liu Bang's ear and shouted, "King, we have all rushed through such a dangerous mountain road. There is a smooth road ahead. If you want to hold on, you must hold on, King!"

With Chen Ping's repeated shouts, Liu Bang's closed eyelids finally jumped twice, and his long-knotted lips also stuttered gently. Chen Ping's heart sank, and he quickly put his ears to Liu Bang's mouth, and he faintly heard Liu Bang say: "Hurry, summon the prince quickly, Xiao He and Bai Mo come..."

The next evening, a fast horse rushed into the east gate of Xianyang like a wind storm.

The knight on the horse was dusty and looked ferocious. He was wrapped in a yellow silk cross-body on his back, and two scarlet pennants were inserted crosswise behind his left and right shoulders, with the word "urgent" embroidered on it.

"Does go!"

"Does go!"

"Do away from them all!"

"One hundred thousand are in a hurry, those who block the way will die!"

Although he was in the downtown area, the knight on the horse was still running wildly, roaring repeatedly.

An old man pushing a cart couldn't hide, and was knocked to the ground by a running horse. When the idle person nearby stepped forward to help the old man up, the rider had already gone far along the long street. Only the sound of horse hooves, which were "Get De De", was like a storm, and it was still rolling and stirring on the long street, and it lasted for a long time.

Since the completion of Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace has become the East Palace of Crown Prince Liu Ying.

After Liu Ying died of illness, Liu Heng was enthroned as the crown prince and soon moved to Changle Palace.

Liu Bang personally led a large army to conquer the Chu State. Crown Prince Liu Heng was ordered to supervise the country. He was trembling and walking on thin ice. In addition to the regular court discussions held in Changle Palace every day, Liu Heng would also occasionally summon the old prime minister Xiao He and the Yajin Bai Mo to the palace. Especially after the news of the defeat of Mianshui was returned, Xiao He and Bai Mo to the palace became more frequent.

No matter what, Liu Heng was only eighteen years old, and in Liu Bang's mind, the most ideal candidate for the prince was always Liu Ruyi, so he was not concerned about Liu Heng's cultivation. Therefore, Liu Heng had no experience in taking office in power. Now he suddenly faced such a severe and complex situation, and naturally he was in chaos.

At this time, Liu Heng was summoning Xiao He and Bai Mo to discuss matters, and he was reluctant to let the two of them go home.

"Please rest assured that your Highness, the old prime minister has already arranged everything." Bai Mo had to comfort the young prince over and over again, "The two generals Li Shang and Mei Jing have been rushing to Hanzhong and Sanchuan day and night. These two are long-standing generals who have experienced many battles. If they are in charge of Sanchuan in Hanzhong, there will definitely be no problem."

After a pause, Bai Mo said again: "As for Wu Pass, it is probably not easy to recapture it from the Chu army. However, I and the old prime minister have already decided. I will just wait for the end of the month to mobilize all the servants in Guanzhong to build a new pass west of Taolin and south of Weishui. In this way, even if Wu Pass cannot be captured, the Chu army will be blocked by the newly built pass."

"Very good." Liu Heng said repeatedly, "You must never delay the construction of the pass."

"The prince can rest assured." Xiao He said, "The old minister should ask about this matter in person."

"Very good." Liu Heng hurriedly knelt down and bowed respectfully to Xiao He first, and then said, "If there is an old blind man who is in charge of this matter himself, I think there will be no mistakes..."

Before he finished speaking, a waiter suddenly raised Huang Ling and rolled into the side hall with both hands. While walking, he shouted: "The king is urgent, the king is urgent, the king is urgent, the king is urgent..."

"Father?!" Liu Heng turned around suddenly, showing a happy expression.

"Is there news finally there is something wrong with the king?" Xiao He and Bai Mo were also slightly shocked.

Before a moment, the waiter came to the stairs with Huang Ling. Liu Heng opened his hands and took Huang Ling from the waiter and opened it. He then took out the edict from it. After reading it in a hurry, Liu Heng's face turned pale in an instant!

Xiao He hurriedly snatched the edict from Liu Heng, and before he could finish reading it, he cried out and fainted on the spot.

"Old Prime Minister?" Liu Heng, Bai Mo was shocked and rushed forward to help Xiao He up. At the same time, he asked the attendant to summon a doctor to the hall to treat Xiao He. Taking advantage of this gap, Bai Mo picked up the edict and read it in a hurry. His face changed drastically. The King of Han actually urgently ordered the crown prince, the prime minister and himself to go to the rope pool. It seemed that the deadline was coming!

But in a moment, more than a dozen imperial physicians hurried into the side hall with their medicine boxes.

After applying the golden needle to the acupoint, Xiao He finally woke up quietly, but his eyes were still dull and his complexion became extremely gray, which was clearly the scene of abandoning the world.

Bai Mo is also a man who is proficient in medical skills, so how can he not see Xiao He's appearance?

Bai Mo called Liu Heng outside the hall and sighed: "Crown Prince, hurry up and go to the rope pool."

"But..." Liu Heng turned around and looked into the hall and said in embarrassment, "The old prime minister is seriously ill, how can he go?"

Bai Mo said sadly: "The old minister is afraid that he will not be able to go to the rope pool. We need to set off quickly, let's set off now!"

At that moment, Bai Mo urgently summoned the attendant to change clothes for Liu Heng, and ordered the Imperial Guard to prepare two fast horses. Then he stepped on the fast horse with Liu Heng, and only brought more than a hundred cavalry of the Imperial Guards, and rushed the rope pool day and night. (To be continued.
