Chapter 949: Do you think Gu and Xiang An of Western Chu are the great ones?
In the middle of the night, Liu Ji, Xiao He, and Han Xin were sitting in the garden of the Han Palace, changing cups.
Said to be the Palace of the Han Dynasty, it is actually the palace of the city lord of Nanzheng City. Liu Ji was named King of Han and made Nanzheng his capital. The palace of the lord of Nanzheng City was also given the nondescript name of "Han Palace".
.
"According to what Mr. Han Xin said, the King of Chu and General Xiang An... are at odds?" Liu Ji held the wine glass, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and took a sip of the wine without drinking more.
Drinking is to liven up the atmosphere, not to get drunk, Liu Ji is very clear about this.
"But, they are twin brothers and have grown up together since childhood. In today's world where feudal lords are in dispute, why does Xiang An have a conflict with his brother?" Xiao He frowned slightly, and the hand holding the wine glass did not move at all.
Don't lean towards your mouth.
Han Xin's posture was casual, he finished a glass of wine in two gulps, and started drinking by himself again.
"Are there few examples throughout history of brothers turning against each other and becoming enemies?" Han Xin said while drinking, looking at Liu Ji, "Your Majesty, in Xin's opinion, in terms of talent for governing the world, there are only two people in the world."
"One is the king, and the other is Xiang An."
"The King of Chu is immoral, and the world has concealed it. When the world was divided, conflicts had already begun to appear, and after that, the dispute between the two men was so fierce that it was feared that it could overthrow the Epang Palace."
Liu Ji stroked his beard. When he was in Xianyang, he was too preoccupied with frustration and self-pity. Then he organized his army and headed to Bashu, without paying any attention to what happened in Xianyang.
"Is there such a thing?" The expression on his face was very real, that was pleasure.
He was familiar with both of these people, but they both had enemies with him. Dog bites dog, and it is best to kill one of them.
"Then what happened? I remember you were with Xiang An, why did you leave now?" Liu Ji took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Xin.
Han Xin paused while holding the wine glass and sighed slightly.
"Because... they are brothers, even if they quarreled like that, they did not turn against each other."
"From what you say, do you hope they break up?"
"What Xin is looking forward to is not a breakup." Han Xin's face was stern. He put the wine glass on the table and looked at Liu Ji without flinching. "What Xin Xin is looking forward to is just a separation."
"Xiang An's talents should not be subordinated to the King of Chu, absolutely not!"
"If Xiang Ankenyi believes in his words and breaks away from the King of Chu to establish his own business, the Central Plains and even the whole world will be in his hands!"
Han Xin's remark was so powerful that it shocked both Liu Ji and Xiao He.
"...So it's like this..." After drinking the contents of the cup, Liu Ji slowly placed the cup on the stone table, gaining momentum, "I probably understand why you left Xiang.
It’s safe.”
"You just said that there are only two people in the world who are talented in governing the world, and they are me and Xiang An. Now, I want to ask you." Liu Ji stood up, his eyes full of power, and asked Han Xin with his hands behind his back, "
Do you think that Gu and Xiang An of Western Chu are the great ones?"
Han Xin was not ambiguous at all.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that your talent is a little inferior to Xiang An's." Han Xin also stood up and bowed slightly to Liu Ji, "But... Your Majesty, none of you know how to do it."
Restrain your brother in every way."
As soon as Han Xin said this, although it sounded derogatory and made Xiao He who was sitting next to him not wanting to speak, Liu Ji burst into laughter instead.
"After hearing your words, I feel relieved!"
"That's good, that's good, come here -!" Liu Ji clasped his hands behind his back and shouted outside the garden.
Not long after, two guards came in and knelt down in front of Liu Ji.
"There is a mansion with three entrances and three exits on the west side of the palace. From now on, it will be the residence of Duke Xin!"
"Xin Gong will stay here and wait for a few days. When the troops are ordered, I will worship Xin Gong as the commander-in-chief of Shangzhu Kingdom and the general! His salary will be two thousand dan and he will drive two horses!"
Liu Ji laughed and arranged Han Xin's treatment, while Xiao He next to him was stunned.
"Your Majesty, you—" Xiao He stood up and wanted to persuade Liu Ji.
"Old Xiao, there is no need to persuade me!" Liu Ji directly stretched out a hand and blocked everything Xiao He wanted to say with a smile on his face, "As early as in Hongmen, even though I entered the chess game, I was defeated.
Assassination with swords, but not nothing."
"Mr. Zifang was in the east seat at the banquet. He sat with Han Xin and had a lot of exchanges."
"Later, Fan Zeng and others wanted to kill me. Mr. Zifang and I fled to the south bank of the river. I asked him, what kind of talent is Han Xinzhi?"
Liu Ji turned around and took Han Xin's hand, who was a little dazed. As the king of Han, he bowed slightly. Everyone was shocked.
"Sir, Han Xin's talent...is unparalleled in the country!"
...
The night is already deep.
Han Xin followed the two guards to the mansion arranged by Liu Ji to rest. Liu Ji and Xiao He were the only ones who were still drinking and changing cups in the garden.
"Your Majesty, I have a question." After Han Xin left, Xiao He finally took a few sips of wine and looked at Liu Ji with some confusion.
"Huh? What's the matter, Lao Xiao, feel free to ask, feel free to ask!" Liu Ji looked quite happy, drinking one glass after another, as if he couldn't stop. There was already a drunken blush on his face, which was very obvious under the moonlight.
"Han Xin said before that the king's talent is not as good as Xiang An's. It was clearly belittling the king. Why did the king laugh instead and promised Han Xin many benefits?" Xiao He raised his hand, puzzled.
asked.
"Old Xiao, what do you think of Han Xin?" After listening to Xiao He's words, Liu Ji was stunned, but did not answer Xiao He's words. Instead, he lowered his head, looked into Xiao He's eyes with interest, and asked.
.
"This man is arrogant and arrogant, but he can't hide his talent. And Mr. Zifang said so, so he must have his own uniqueness." After a moment's hesitation, Xiao He commented with some caution.
"Yes! You are just arrogant!"
Bang!
Liu Ji suddenly slapped the stone table, making a loud noise, which startled Xiao He.
"It is precisely because of his character that he will not lie to me here, which proves one thing."
"He... really plans to follow me, and with his character, he will never serve the two masters separately!"
"In this way, as long as I don't drive him away, he will always be by my side and make suggestions with me. How can I not keep such a talented person!?"
"As for saying that my talents are not as good as Xiang An's..." Liu Ji smiled disdainfully, "It doesn't matter!"
"If I get angry when someone tells the truth and reject talents, then I'm going to be a shitty co-owner of the world! I'll die here in Bashu!"
After drinking another glass of wine, Liu Ji abandoned Xiao He and staggered towards the palace accompanied by the maid.
