"How dare he do the thing of conferring Zen status on Mount Tai before he has become the common ruler of the world!?"
Xiao He angrily threw the bamboo slips used to convey orders to the ground.
Xiao He was in charge of logistics, including all kinds of rituals. Naturally, he knew what Taishan Fengchan represented, and he also knew more clearly how audacious Xiang An was.
"Does he think that the world is already within his grasp!?"
Bang!
Xiao He slammed the table hard, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was a bit dull.
Liu Ji sat in the front seat, trying his best to control his emotions and breathing deeply.
Xiang An's enshrining of Zen in Taishan is equivalent to sending a letter of war to all the princes in the world, and it is the kind that shouts it directly in your face.
Liu Ji accidentally pulled off a gray beard and let out a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, things have happened. Since Xiang An dares to climb Mount Tai to set up an altar, he must be prepared to be attacked by a group of people." Liu Ji looked at him with a fierce look in his tiger eyes.
Zhang Liang said, "We must arrange the next step of the battle as soon as possible."
During the recent period, Liu Ji has been controlling a small group of troops to constantly harass and contain Xi Chu, intending to erode Xi Chu's power relatively peacefully in this way, and wait until he can successfully defeat Xi Chu in the future.
However, this plan has been slow to make progress.
If we want to maximize Xiang Yu's military strength and energy, we must give full play to Han's biggest advantage today - its large number of people.
Relying on the advantage of large numbers to extend the battle line infinitely, even if the Western Chu soldiers were very strong individually and won almost every local victory, they could not bear the long battle line and too many battles.
However, Liu Ji could not reach the long northern border of Western Chu.
The reason is naturally that Xiang Yu's biological brother, Xiang An, the king of Northern Chu, separated from Western Chu and established his own country.
After Xiang An became independent, Western Chu and Northern Chu had little contact. They occupied the land downstream of the Huai River and focused all their attention on the north.
"Han Xin has done his best, we can't blame Han Xin." Zhang Liang shook his head, feeling helpless.
Han Xin was able to continuously destroy the three kingdoms of Zhai, Sai, and Wei in the north with no money, soldiers, or food. He was already considered a superman. If he asked for more, it would seem that Liu Ji was a bit unworthy of a monarch.
"But there is nothing we can do. If we want to quickly solve the problem of Xi Chu, the northern border is too important." Liu Ji shook his head and sighed slightly.
Even if Xiang An was enshrined in Mount Tai and shouted a letter of challenge in the faces of all the princes in the world, including Liu Ji, Liu Ji could not regard Xiang An as his main opponent at the moment.
After Bei Chu went through a period of emptiness and weakness last year, it destroyed Yan State this spring and surrendered to Liaodong State. Now its morale is high and there is no shortage of money, soldiers and food. If he rashly touches Xiang An's brow at this time, Liu Ji knows,
To be unlucky.
"Actually, it's pretty good now." Xiao He also regained his composure, spread his hands and said, "Xiang An took half of Xiang Yu's elite troops with him when he left, otherwise the pressure we face will only be greater."
The three of them regained their composure and turned to analyze how to avoid fighting Xiang An, and they did not talk about the fact that Xiang An killed Peng Yue before.
They are all adults. If Peng Yue dies, he will die. Xiang An can be granted the title of Zen if he wants. It is really not a good idea to fight Xiang An now. Let Han Xin keep Xiang An's attention on the northern defense line is the best choice.
It's one thing to be angry, it's another thing to be calm, to be tactful and not trembling.
"The State of Zhao probably won't be able to hold on for too long. I'm afraid that King Zhao will ask for help from Xiang An." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, then frowned and knocked on the table.
"...I should say something that I shouldn't say. What I'm more worried about is our general." Xiao He sighed, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Don't worry about Han Xin, he won't betray." Liu Ji looked confident, "It would be better to say that based on this, he will be more eager to play against Xiang An."
"He is a war madman. He will be very happy as long as there is a war, let alone such an opponent." Liu Ji had a confident smile on his face and rubbed the cup gently with his index finger. "As long as the war does not end, we will
There is no need to worry about Han Xin betraying him."
"...Is this so? Your Majesty, you just have to be sure." Xiao He shook his head and took another sip of tea.
"The next step is to continue our plan..." Liu Ji narrowed his eyes and looked east, in the direction of Xi Chu.
"We have to continue to 'lose'..."
...
Han Xin didn't have much reaction to the fact that Xiang An was granted Zen status.
"What does this matter have to do with me? Am I some kind of prince?" Han Xin looked at Kuai Tong and Kuai Ge father and son with a blank look on his face, tilted his head and asked.
Kuai Ge glanced at Kuai Tong and gritted his teeth.
"General, actually, I have something that I have long wanted to clarify with the general!"
Kuai Ge knelt on the ground on one knee and looked up at Han Xin with determination in his eyes.
Han Xin glanced at Jiang Ge, who was looking confused next to him, and frowned.
"What are you two doing?"
"I have the courage to ask the general to break away from Liu Ji, King of Han, and establish himself as king!" Kuai Tong lowered his head and said loudly to Han Xin.
"...What did you say?" Han Xin's vigilant expression turned into shock, "...General Kuai, do you know what you are talking about?"
"...General, let me explain." Kuai Ge walked to Kuai Tong's side and knelt down.
"The general has been a soldier all his life, and his contribution to the Han Dynasty is known to all the world. However, how did Liu Ji, the king of Han, treat the general?"
"Everyone knows how scarce the supplies of the army fighting in the North are."
"But even at this level, the general can still destroy three countries in a row. I think that the land of Han cannot tolerate the talents of a general!" Kuai Tong raised his head and looked at Han Xin with a burning gaze, "The general is not as good as
This country has established itself as a king, and we will serve as ministers to assist the general. With the general's ability, we will definitely be able to compete with the two Chu and one Han, and even control the world in the future - "
"alright!"
Kuai Tong's eyes shone and he wanted to continue speaking, but was directly interrupted by Han Xin.
Han Xin looked at Kuai Tong, who was stunned because his speech was interrupted, and sighed.
"I said, Lao Kuai, we are all our own, and you understand me." Han Xin shook his head, stood up, walked to Kuai Tong's side, and patted Kuai Tong on the shoulder.
"I am not that material and will not become a good king."
"So, don't talk about this matter again in the future."
Han Xin patted Kuai Tong on the shoulder again and walked out of the camp.
Kuai Tong and Kuai Ge, father and son, were left in the commander's tent, feeling lost.
"I am the king? How is that possible?" Han Xin muttered as he walked out of the camp and smiled to himself.
"What kind of king can a madman who relies on war to live be?"
