"In a sense, they are acting for the Central Plains from beginning to end, for the... safety of the Central Plains." Liu Ji walked back from the window, sat at the head of the hall, and looked at the absent-minded Zhang Liang and the bewildered Zhang Liang.
Xiao He said, "This is the answer I came up with after combining their operating styles for many years."
"And why they parted ways...the answer is actually very clear."
"Even if we work towards the same end point, there will always be many different roads. Since the roads are all different..."
Liu Ji didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhang Liang and Xiao He already understood.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about... Xiang Yu's massacre of the city?" Xiao He looked up at Liu Ji with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Yes, Xiang An is more benevolent than we thought, so he can't stand Xiang Yu's policy of massacre."
Liu Ji's voice was filled with sighs: "Thinking about all the past events, I guess there must have been a lot of hatred between him and his brother."
"Zhangshuikeng killed two hundred thousand Qin troops, massacred the city several times, and chose to divide the world when it could end the world's strife..." Liu Ji rubbed his chin with his fingers, "Zifang, Lao Xiao
, In fact, after being entrusted to Bashu, you all know my anger, but I am also thinking about one thing."
"The world is at your fingertips for Xiang Yu. Judging from his previous actions, he does care about the safety of the Central Plains. But why would he give up his position as the leader of the world?"
"If he didn't divide the world, I, Liu Jilian, would not have the chance to resist like I do now, and General Han would not leave Western Chu and come to my Han Dynasty to help me sweep across the Qin Dynasty. It is equivalent to saying that I can restrict him like this now.
It should also be attributed to Xiang Yu himself." As he said that, Liu Ji couldn't help but laugh, and he laughed very rudely.
"After thinking about this, I suddenly realized that... I don't seem to need to hate Xiang Yu so much."
"And now, Xiang Yu's biggest helper, his brother Xiang An, a good general who is good at fighting, has also been forced away by him..." Xiao He sighed and shook his head, "This person's actions are really strange."
"Your Majesty, Xiang An, we..." Zhang Liang, who was distracted, raised his head and looked at Liu Ji with a hint of unbearability in his tone, "How should we deal with it?"
"Now that he has betrayed Xi Chu, he is no longer our enemy...right?"
Zhang Liang is proficient in the art of Huang Lao and his level is quite high. Therefore, he understands the difficulties that the Central Plains has faced over the years and knows many things that have happened.
Everything is recorded in the thought plate.
There were loopholes in the Central Plains formation due to wear and tear, and alien races from abroad were eyeing it. But all of this disappeared more than ten years ago.
It happened that King Liu Ji of Han Dynasty went out to investigate, and it was Xiang An who led the army to kill the foreign races. And through the reasoning of time, it is almost certain that more foreign races before were also killed by the two brothers. If it were not for the two brothers
With the efforts outside the Pass, I am afraid that the various princes in the Central Plains have no time to fight among themselves and bleed with blood. Instead, they have been almost crazily cannibalized by the thousands of foreigners.
What they did is probably more than Liu Ji knows.
As a member of the Demonic Way, although Zhang Liang has already entered the world, he faces Xiang Yu and Xiang An who saved the Central Plains...
"Zifang, I know what you are thinking." Liu Ji's voice woke Zhang Liang up.
"But I will not choose to give away the final spoils just because the other party is a noble or great person." Liu Ji sat in a high position, his eyes serious and full of ambition, as if he came from the prehistoric times.
Are they the same beasts? He looked at Zhang Liang.
"Rather, it is precisely because of greatness and sublimity that it has the value of challenge."
"So I will never give up."
“Even if it’s Yao, Shun, and Yu, even if it’s the First Emperor, no matter who my opponent is, even if it’s gods, demons, and monsters, I will never give up the Central Plains that belongs to the Han Dynasty!”
"So... help me to achieve the great cause of the Ninth Five-Year Plan."
"I also promise you that if I am the one who wins in the end, I will... be willing to spare Xiang An's life."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Liang stared blankly at Liu Ji who stretched out a hand to him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
While Liu Ji's monarch and ministers were in harmony, the military camp outside Gaonu City.
"Ah ah ah ah ah----!!!!"
Han Xin angrily smashed everything on the desk to the ground, and then kicked the desk over angrily. He stood there with clenched fists, his chest heaving violently, his mouth half-opened, and his expression was as ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone.
Several generals and the messengers who reported the news were stunned and stood beside them in a daze, at a loss and not daring to speak.
Han Xin took a few breaths and finally calmed down. He suddenly turned his head, and all the generals discussing the matter in the camp subconsciously shrank their necks.
"...Everyone, get out first, get out." Han Xin tried his best to make his tone less emotional.
When everyone left the camp, Han Xin suddenly seemed to have lost his strength and sat on the ground with a look of despair.
He only has one thought in his mind now.
No, Lord Xiang An, why are you thinking of leaving Xichu now???
Why? Why exactly?
You, couldn't you fucking run away from that psychopath as soon as possible?
What a good opportunity it was back in Xianyang. You took me with you and we gave Xiang Yu a knife in the waist. How good it was.
Then you didn't want to run away at the beginning, you just dragged me, forcefully dragged me. Even after I ran away, you still dragged me.
And now, I have been running away for a long time, and I have changed my family. You think about running away again. I heard that the running scene was quite big, and I almost died together with that lunatic.
"Lord Xiang An, you - why are you doing this..." Han Xin thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he was slapped on the face with a "pop".
He was really broken.
If you want to run, you should run early! You just run after I run. Doesn’t this mean that I——
Han Xin sat up and looked at the messy tent he had made. He let out a long sigh, slapped himself twice, and then slowly started to tidy it up.
Compared to Liu Ji, Han Xin definitely cares more about Xiang An and recognizes Xiang An's talents more.
However, Han Xin did not intend to change his family again.
Liu Ji never despised Han Xin, nor criticized Han Xin harshly. He even gave Han Xin great military power and handed over all the operations in the northern part of the Central Plains to Han Xin. It can be said that he did not rely heavily on him.
"So, this time, we are really... becoming opponents..."
Picking up a bamboo slip, Han Xin straightened the desk, as if spitting out his soul, and let out a long sigh.
"With your talent, now the birds leave their cages and the real dragons enter the sea... I'm afraid it will be the day when we really meet each other..."
