“The male wave?”
Xiao He was not surprised to hear this name, for it was not the first time.
It was only with a few moments of confusion that he said that
“Does Sir Han really think so highly of this Gongzi Lang?”
“You should know that although this Liu Bang is usually unkempt and seems to be a loose cannon, he is in fact a clear-headed person, good at planning and good at listening.”
“He is a man who can achieve great things, don’t miss the opportunity, Sir Han.”
He still admired Han Xin extremely much, and during the days he spent together, he saw his unique military talents.
This kind of talent might not normally be of great use, but in today’s world, this is an essential talent!
Although he was good at internal affairs and had no problem securing the rear, he was not so good when it came to the military.
Hearing Xiao He’s words, Han Xin hesitated and directly took out the half pouch of small gold pellets left on his waist and put it in front of Xiao He.
Xiao He looked at the half bag of small gold pellets and could not help but take a slight breath.
These gold pellets might not be earned by ordinary people in several lifetimes!
Xiao He asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Sir Han, what is the meaning of this. ”
Han Xin gave a bitter smile and said that
“I suppose Sir Xiao was a little curious before as to where I got so much money.”
Xiao He nodded; indeed, it was mostly Han Xin who paid for their exchanges these days.
When Liu Bang was almost exiled before, it was also the other party who paid for the settlement.
“To be honest, none of this money belongs to me.”
Han Xin told the story of his first meeting with Zhao Lang, and finally said, with a few moments of emotion
“After leaving this bag of gold grains behind, Gongzi Lang left.”
After hearing Han Xin’s words, Xiao He, however, said with some surprise that
“There is actually such a strange man in the world?”
Meeting with a person you don’t know, you just admire someone and want to buy them a drink.
And gave a bag of gold grains?
But Xiao He turned his mind to it and said, with a little hesitation
“Sir Han, it’s not that I’m being paranoid, do you think it’s possible that Sir Long has given it to the wrong person?”
This was a bag of gold grains, and even a wealthy family could not afford to be so defeated.
Even if Xiao He came from a wealthy background, he could not help but be a little staggered.
He did not believe that anyone would be so generous to a stranger who had not even had time to say his name.
Han Xin gave a laugh and said that
“In fact, I have thought so, after all, I am only a man of cloth, without power or influence, and I think I have some talent, but no one can recognize it.”
“But then I met Gongzi Lang again, and after exchanging names, I wanted to return the gold grains to him.”
“But who knew that Gong Zi Lang would say that it was for me and his wine money.”
Speaking here, Han Xin said with a few more moments of emotion.
“To say that it was you and I who were treated to this meal by Gong Zilang.”
Hearing these words, Xiao He looked at the wine in his hand and was somewhat stunned.
If it was really the same as what Han Xin’s had said, this Gong Zi Lang had really seen Han Xin’s talent!
Otherwise, he would definitely not have given so much money to the other party.
Of course, Xiao He didn’t mind, those with talent certainly deserved to be treated well!
After all, who would give a bag of gold grains to a mediocre person for no reason at all?
He even wondered if he had met the other side that day, would they have appreciated him so much? Would he have given more gold pellets than Han Xin?
“It’s just that now I don’t know where your son’s waves are, so I’m a little bitter.”
Han Xin said at this time with a bit of a low tone.
He also wanted to go over and look for Zhao Lang, but there was simply no way to find him.
Xiao He also listened with a little sigh, but then he thought of something and suddenly his heart moved and said that
“Sir Han, you said before that Gongzi Lang’s surname name was?”
Han Xin had always referred to the other man respectfully as Gongzi Lang, but had only said his full name once, and he did not care at the time.
Han Xin said back.
“Gongzi Lang’s full name is Zhao Lang.”
“Zhao Lang!?”
Xiao He’s whole body shook slightly as he heard it!
“Is it really Zhao Lang?”
Han Xin, somewhat unsure, returned that
“Naturally, it is Zhao Lang.”
Looking at Xiao He’s shocked look, Han Xin quickly responded, his eyes lighting up, and said
“Sir Xiao, have you heard of Gongzi Lang’s name?”
“I told you, Gong Zi Lang would definitely not be a nobody!”
Xiao He said, with a slightly complicated expression.
“Duke Han, do you remember not long ago, the head of Confucianism summoned Confucian students to Liao Dong to observe the ceremony?”
Xiao He was, however, a member of the Confucian family.
Han Xin froze for a moment and said back that
“I have heard of it slightly, but I do not know the details.”
Although he was a scholar, he was not a Confucianist, and the path he had delved into himself was military.
Xiao He said, with a complicated expression.
“The Confucian head has gathered all the people because of the disciples of the Income Gate, that is, those who are very likely to become Confucian heads in the future.”
“The disciple of the Confucian head is the one called Zhao Lang.”
When Xiao He finished speaking, he looked at Han Xin, and found that the other party stood up in almost ecstasy, saying
“I knew it, Gongzi Lang is definitely not a nobody!”
“So you are a disciple of the head of Confucius! No wonder he has such vision and breadth of mind!”
“No, I’m going to find Gongzi Lang now!”
With that, Han Xin stood straight up, he couldn’t wait any longer!
Only the next instant, he stopped again and said that
“Sir Xiao, I see that you also have great ambitions in your heart, so why don’t you come with me to find Gongzi Lang, we can definitely achieve something great!”
During these days, Xiao He knew Han Xin, and Han Xin did not know Xiao He.
Although Xiao He was only a minor official, he was familiar with all the affairs of the county.
What kind of ability and wisdom is this?
Gongzi Lang has always loved talent, if he brings Xiao He over, he will certainly make the other side happy!
It would not be in vain that Gong Zi Long had treated him with kindness!
Hearing the invitation, Xiao He was slightly moved.
If that man was really the Gong Zi Lang that Han Xin had mentioned, then it would be a good choice for him to defect to the other side, at this time.
Now that the world was in turmoil, it was also an opportunity for the plutocrats.
But, what if the other party is just the same name?
Just then, a figure hurried in, and seeing the two, his eyes lit up as he walked towards them.
As he walked, he said.
“Duke Xiao, Duke Han! I’ve found you guys!”
“Brother Lu? What’s the hurry?”
Xiao He asked, somewhat puzzled.
Knowing that time was now extremely tight, Lu pulled the two men directly aside and said in a low voice that
“My elder brother has an important matter to discuss with you two!”
With that, he faintly revealed that Liu Bang’s intention.
Xiao He’s eyes lit up as he listened, he was right, Liu Bang was really a man who made things happen!
At such a time, he could be so decisive!
What’s more, he had found the key at a glance, the county town.
If they took the county seat, they would gain the recognition and control of the surrounding area!
The most rare thing is that with only a few hundred men in their hands, they dare to think of taking the county town!
This is the characteristic of a man who has achieved great things!
Bold, meticulous and thick-skinned!
Daring to think, daring to do, undaunted!
It is a pity that many people only see each other’s thick skin and think that Liu Bang is just a loose cannon.
There are so many people with thick skin in the world.
Why are others not qualified to be successful?
But Han Xin, who was unmoved, said.
“Both of you, I have decided to go to Liaodong immediately.”
He did not have that in mind now.
ÒHowever, Lu paled slightly at hearing this, how could he let the other side just leave when Han Xin knew about such things?
If they were informed, they wouldn’t be in danger of losing their lives, but their plans to plan the county would be foiled!
Xiao He also did not want the other party to leave like that, and after a moment of contemplation, he said that
“Sir Han, let’s not mention that you have a long way to go, nowadays the world is in turmoil, there are many thieves along the way, and the road is even more dangerous.”
“And let’s not say that in case that person is not the Gongzi Lang you are talking about.”
“Even if you were to go now, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to help Gongzi Long!”
“Why don’t you do something first, so that if Gong Zi Lang hears your name, he will come looking for you on his own initiative, which is better than you blindly looking for him?”
“By then, if you can have your own manpower, it won’t be in vain that Gong Zi Long has treated you with kindness!”
Hearing Xiao He’s words of advice, Han Xin was also somewhat impressed, and the other party was right.
It was indeed not very useful to go to Gong Zi Lang just like that.
Seeing Han Xin’s hesitation, Xiao He struck while the iron was hot, saying
“The matter is settled, Lu Ò, you take Duke Han back to prepare the manpower, I will call my colleague Cao Sen and see if I can convince the magistrate!”
Cao Sen, like him, was also the main official puisne of Pei County.
Han Xin hesitated, and then nodded his head.
Lu did not expect things to go so smoothly, he had thought it would take some more time, so that he could go back as early as possible!
At once, he said.
“Good, good, we will act quickly!”
Soon, several people moved.
Han Xin also followed Lu Xin as he sped all the way back to the Suribachi Pavilion.
Then he headed directly towards Liu Bang’s house.
Just before passing his house, he saw the door of his home half-open and a slightly familiar sound coming from inside.
“Fan Kuai! I told you to recruit men, why are you here!”
“Do you know whose woman she is!”
Another voice said.
“Hey, big brother, it’s just a woman, isn’t it? What’s the big deal, I didn’t hold back, did I?”
“All right, all right, I’ll go and recruit people.”
Soon, Fan Kuai’s figure appeared at the door.
When Lu saw Fan Kuai, his face immediately turned white and he rushed towards him, exclaiming that
“Fan Kuai, I’ll beat you to death!”
The two of them immediately wrestled, but of course Fan Kuai did not lay much of a hand on him.
Liu Bang heard the commotion and rushed out as well. With great difficulty, he separated the two men and angrily rebuked
“They are all brothers in their own family, is it worth it for a woman?”
ÒLu said, defiantly.
“Brother, it’s him who’s at fault!”
Liu Bang said, frowning.
“I know! The two of you go in there, Lu Ò you beat him up, Fan Kuai, you are not allowed to hit back!”
With that, he drove the two inside.
Then only when he reached Han Xin, with a few apologies, he said
“Sir Han, I have made you laugh.”
Han Xin, not wanting to get involved in all this crap, said straight away that
“Even if your Excellency’s men are not yet recruited, I will go and recruit them.”
These days, he had paid a lot of money for Liu Bang, but all the same.
He also befriended many people together with Liu Bang.
Everyone was quite fond of him as a generous gold master.
There would be no problem for him to recruit people.
Liu Bang laughed at this point and said
“Good, then it will be hard for you, Sir Han.”
When Han Xin had left, Liu Bang, however, looked at Han Xin’s back as he left and frowned slightly.
He could certainly sense the other party’s rustiness.
He just didn’t know what the problem was, he didn’t think there was anything inconsiderate about his usual dealings, ah.
Liu Bang still had to think about it, but the sound of Lu and Fan Kuai arguing came from the room.
Liu Bang shook his head helplessly, then turned around and went in.
Later that evening, Han Xin returned to Liu Bang’s residence with a hundred or so men.
Only to find that Xiao He, with a man in tow, had also appeared.
Sitting around with several of Liu Bang’s men, his face did not look too good.
“Duke Xiao, why are you here too?”
Seeing Han Xin, Xiao He showed a bitter smile and said that
“Brother Cao and I have almost convinced the county magistrate, but we did not expect that a villain would enter the slander.”
“The magistrate has changed his mind and is ready to arrest us, so we have to escape first.”
“Sir Han, how is your progress in recruiting people?”
Now it was only possible to rely on manpower to force an attack.
Han Xin returned that
“In the rush of time, only a hundred or so men have been recruited; first thing tomorrow morning, I will have these men go to the surrounding area and recruit men separately.”
“I promised them that the more people they recruit, the higher their positions will be afterwards, so they will definitely do their best.”
“And this way, it will be much faster!”
Hearing these words, Xiao He’s eyes lit up, this was indeed a good way, much faster than going to recruit people on your own.
He had indeed not misjudged the man, Han Xin was indeed a great military talent!
“It’s just that even recruiting thousands of men would be useless,”
At this time, Cao Sen, who was at the side, said with a frown.
“There are still hundreds of Qin troops inside the city, and with the city walls, there is no way for us to break through.”
At this time Liu Bang, however, narrowed his eyes slightly and then said that
“One hundred men are enough.”
“Tomorrow we will go and attack the city.”
Now, time is of the essence, and when someone else takes the county, he will have lost his head start!
Everyone looked at Liu Bang in surprise, thinking the other man was mad.
Liu Bang spelled out his plan at this point.
Xiao He and the others listened in amazement, not expecting Liu Bang to have such a knowledge of the human heart!
Even Han Xin was slightly surprised. In one afternoon, Liu Bang had not only pacified Lu and Fan Kuai.
In the face of frustration, he actually had such a strange strategy again.
Knowing people’s hearts!
Something extraordinary indeed!
Early the next morning.
Of course Liu Bang appeared at the gates of the city with a hundred or so men.
The city gates were suddenly closed and Qin troops appeared on the city walls.
Liu Bang, however, was in no hurry, but had his men use bows and arrows and shoot some cloths with words written on them into the city.
It read, “Now the world is in revolt, the Qin army is brutal, the magistrate of Pei County has gone back on his word, and once the uprising army arrives, the city will be ready for the rebellion.
The Qin army will definitely use the people in the city to defend the city!
When that happens, everyone’s family will be destroyed!
Why not kill the magistrate and join him in defending our homeland!
This is Liu Bang’s strategy of attacking the heart!
That night, a clamour arose in the city and it was not long before the people opened the city gates.
Liu Bang entered Pei County, embraced by the crowd.
As soon as it was light, Liu Bang struck up his banner and
Pei Gong!
Over the next ten days, Liu Bang recruited men quickly.
The whole of Great Qin, however, fell into an eerie calm.
But everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Soon, news arrived that the northern Qin army was preparing to attack Xingyang and Dingtao in two directions.
At the same time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu swung their troops northwards.
In Pei County, Liu Bang was sitting in his former county magistrate’s office, drinking wine with his men and feeling a little smug.
Little did he know that in just ten days he had gone from being a small pavilion commander to the position of Duke of Pei!
His mind could not help but grow even bigger.
“The county magistrate was reached so easily.”
“Then this county sheriff, I am not unable to.”
Just as he was thinking, Xiao He hurried in and said that
“Lord Pei, General Xiang Liang is passing through this land and is preparing to go north to support the King of Qi, should we go and pay our respects?”
Liu Bang had not yet spoken, but Han Xin, who was at the side, had a slight movement in his heart.
Going north to the land of Qi?
That’s the direction to Liaodong!
Gongzi Lang, is in Liaodong!
