When Han Wangxin had gone, Han Cheng set about making preparations.
For Han Wangxin had already said that the King of Zhao had been driven out of Yunmengze.
Then his own place would be the other side’s landing place.
Sure enough, without making Han Cheng wait too long, Zhao Lang led his men to Han’s land.
“King Zhao, it has been a hard journey.”
Seeing Zhao Lang, Han Cheng greeted him with extreme solicitude.
Zhao Lang nodded, Han Cheng was considered his hardcore, there was no need to be too polite, and quickly asked
“Just now, this king saw quite a few of Han Wangxin’s men in your territory, what happened?”
“Did Han Wangxin provoke you again?”
Han Cheng laughed this time, however
“Han Wangxin came to persuade my king to surrender once before, so the king of Zhao need not worry.”
As he spoke, Han Cheng had already greeted Zhao Lang into the manor.
“Heard the news?”
Zhao Lang said with a smile as he looked at the stately home that had been prepared long ago.
Han Cheng smiled and nodded his head.
“Don’t worry, King Zhao, this king will never reveal your identity.”
“If there is anything on your side that requires the cooperation of this king, you can just say so.”
Han Cheng looked at Zhao Lang in front of him, and now his heart was nothing but admiration.
Zhao Lang had played the entire Xiang Clan in the palm of his hand all by himself.
If Han Wangxin wanted to fight with Zhao Wang, he was simply seeking his own death!
And the more he did so, the deeper his admiration, or rather awe, of Zhao Lang grew.
He was obviously younger than him, but so deep-rooted in mind.
To be honest, if he were himself, I’m afraid he would have already made his status as the head farmer known to the world, so how could he have held back until now.
He was also able to pit Xiang against him.
Listening to Han Cheng’s almost loyal words, Zhao Lang smiled blandly and then said that
“No matter, there is no need for King Han to purposely hold back, it just so happens that Han Wangxin’s territory is of great interest to this king.”
“Since he was the one who first let people into your territory, then we have an excuse!”
Since we are here, it would be a waste not to take Han’s land.
Han Cheng’s eyes lit up as he listened and said that
“Just listen to the King of Zhao!”
Soon, the two agreed on a plan.
Early the next morning, Han Wangxin received the news with a bewildered face.
“The King of Zhao actually dares to lead his men to rob my king’s territory?!”
Hadn’t the King of Zhao already broken up with the Nong family? Hadn’t he lost his power?
Why did he still dare to be so rampant?
With a glare in his eyes, Han Wangxin said
“What are you afraid of? Fight back for the king!”
The subordinate who came to report the news cried out, saying
“Your Majesty, we can’t fight!”
How could they possibly make a real fight with Zhao Lang?
Han Xin was stunned, he had forgotten that it was the King of Zhao who had broken with the Nong family and weakened, but that was relative to the Xiang clan.
There was still more than enough to take him on!
Almost instantly, Han Wangxin said, with a few moments of misery
“Quickly go and ask Xiang for help, don’t worry about the rest, just hold the county!”
Soon the messenger was heading towards the Qi land where Xiang Yu was!
In the Qi land, in Xiang’s camp.
The weather has gradually turned cooler and the soldiers in the camp, are preparing for winter.
Inside the army’s central account, Xiang Yu is looking at a map and assigning tasks to
“Now try to accumulate as much food and supplies as possible, after next year’s spring, this general will take his army and go north from Dingtao all the way.”
“Directly to Xianyang, there will definitely be a big battle with the Qin army then.”
Hearing these words, a hint of fear passed through the eyes of many people, the reputation of the Qin army is not something that is blown out of proportion, but hard fought!
Xiang Yu was not surprised and said, with a bit of bravado
“You must have heard the orders of the King of Chu, and as a great general of Chu, this General must naturally listen.”
“As long as you can follow this general to attack Guanzhong! Everyone will have the chance to be crowned king!”
This time, there was a searing gaze in everyone’s eyes!
At this moment, Liu Bang, who was sitting at the bottom, also had a burst of bright light in his eyes!
Crowning the King!
This is the crowning of a king!
Without noticing that next to Fan Zeng, there was a pair of eyes that were looking at him with extreme excitement!
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Xiang Yu told everyone to stand down.
Only after everyone had left did Xiang Yu say to Fan Zeng, who was beside him, that
“Yafu is a great talent.”
This plan was naturally proposed by Fan Zeng, and was further refined.
With this one order, not only was the monopoly of the kings of the six kingdoms on the throne broken.
It would also expose those ambitious Chu nobles. After all, with such an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to take a chance?
This in turn would take the pressure off the Xiang clan.
Otherwise, with the whole world staring at the Xiang clan, it would also be easy for things to go wrong.
It is definitely a brilliant move.
Even if more people follow into Guanzhong, it doesn’t matter, more kings will be divided up, instead weakening the power of the others.
When the time comes, it will be the Xiang family alone!
This is a true Yang plot!
Fan Zeng couldn’t help but reveal a smile too. It was certainly worth being happy to have Xiang Yu’s heart and soul convinced.
“However, Yu’er, you should not relax, the world is huge and there are bound to be people with great heads and horns!”
Xiang Yu said with great pride at this time.
“Yafu, don’t worry, whoever dares to disobey me, I will beat him until he does!”
But Fan Zeng did not persuade him this time, he knew that Xiang Yu’s way was to be domineering!
The King of Zhao was now ruined.
With him looking after him, it was not impossible for Xiang Yu to conquer the world by using the hegemonic way.
Just then, a messenger came in and said that
“An urgent report from Han Wangxin, the King of Zhao and Han Wangcheng have joined forces and are encroaching on his territory.”
Soon the messenger made the matter clear.
Xiang Zhuang’s eyes glared and said, with a bit of anger
“This King of Zhao is actually not stopping now!”
Fan Zeng heard this news, but revealed a smile and said that
“This is a good thing, even against Han Wangxin, the King of Zhao is actually joining forces with Han Wangcheng?”
“Tell Han Wangxin to just hold off the King of Zhao, after that, we’ll just make up for his losses!”
“Hahahaha, from today onwards, the King of Zhao is no longer a threat at all!”
Hearing these words, Xiang Zhuang first froze, then understood and also revealed a smile.
On the other hand, Xiang Yu, who was sitting at the uppermost hand, looked a little gloomy.
It was Xiang who had been targeting Zhao Lang.
In the end, it was he who had wronged Zhao Lang.
Fan Zeng’s face was slightly solemn at this time, and he said that
“This time, although the matter of the Nong family has been successfully resolved, it has also given a warning to the old man.”
“The Hundred Schools of Thought are still not to be taken lightly.”
“The previous Confucianism’s head of the incoming disciples, but I did not care about it, but the matter has passed, and there is no need to dwell on it too much.”
Fan Zeng with a few seriousness, continued to say that
“Now, I have heard that the Mo family has also moved, and it seems that the Mo family is gathering people to gather in the land of Wei.”
“The Mo family’s machine art is extremely conducive to siege, so we cannot miss it this time.”
“Xiang Zhuang, you go and send someone to make contact, if you can get the help of the Mo family people, it won’t hurt to pay some money.”
Xiang Zhuang nodded hastily, he was now completely at Fan Zeng’s beck and call.
Fan Zeng quickly ordered everything down, remembered something, looked backwards and asked, at once
“Well, where is Zhang Liang?”
At this moment, outside the military tent, Liu Bang was walking back with Fan Kuai.
“Big brother, you’ve already brought more than 10,000 men now, what are we still going to fight for?”
“When we return to Pei County, you will be the county governor! We won’t have to worry about wine and meat for the rest of our lives!”
But Liu Bang didn’t respond to the other side at this time, as he usually did, because for the first time he felt that he was actually that close to the throne!
Liu Bang remembered the time before when the royal families of the six kingdoms were together, while he could only drink wine with Xiang Bo on the side.
If only he could also be on an equal footing with those royal families.
Only now he had the troops, but after Xiao Bo’s failure to see them, he always felt a bit inadequate in terms of planning.
Cao Sen, who stayed behind, didn’t seem to perform as well as he had before.
Just as he was distressed, a slightly trembling voice suddenly came from the side of the
“Duke Liu Bang! But is it really you!?”
As soon as Liu Bang looked up, he saw a slightly familiar figure looking at him with extreme excitement.
Liu Bang froze only slightly, and then said, with extreme surprise
“Duke Zhang Liang!”
In the next instant, the two men were shaking hands on all fours in excitement!
—
Time passed, and a few days later, the last of the autumn leaves in Zhao Lang’s courtyard, too, finally fell.
The second winter after coming to the Great Qin had come.
Zhao Lang had no time to grieve for spring and autumn at this time, but instead dealt with the business before him.
These days, they had almost completely taken control of Han Wangxin’s territory, leaving only one county to the other side.
Originally, they thought Xiang would retaliate back, but to their surprise, they hadn’t moved.
It was just as well that Zhao Lang had time to digest the territories.
What was even more strange to Zhao Lang was that even Han Cheng had no problem with him taking the entire Han land.
Therefore, the Handian nobles who followed Han Cheng also obeyed Zhao Lang almost completely.
By getting rid of Han Wangxin, Zhao Lang could be said to have taken control of the whole of Handi in real terms!
Although Handi was small, this was an extremely good result!
“Although we have taken Handi, we cannot let our guard down, Han Wangxin must be waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack.”
Zhao Lang said to Han Cheng, who was at his side.
Han Cheng nodded extremely obediently and said that
“King Zhao, don’t worry, this king will definitely pay attention.”
Han Cheng now had nothing else on his mind.
From the very beginning when he met Zhao Lang, he still had some reveries, after all, he was at least a royal.
But the more he got to know Zhao Lang, the less he had any desire to compete with his opponent.
It was not until the last time when Han Wangxin came to report that he was certain that for a small country like Han, it would be better to follow Zhao Lang honestly and choose to submit.
Moreover, not long ago, the news that those who entered Guanzhong first from Xiang could claim the title of king also came through.
That was the greatest threat to the King of the Six Kingdoms!
By following Zhao Lang, he could at least keep his throne!
He could see that Zhao Lang would not treat his own people badly.
Of course, making this decision was not so easy.
He even thought about it in his dreams, and even sighed at length countless times.
But he is confident that his decision was not wrong.
After saying that, Han Cheng left extremely dryly, ready to go and carry out Zhao Lang’s orders.
But this scene, on the contrary, caused Zhao Lang to mutter a little.
Had Han Cheng taken the wrong kind of medicine?
Lately, he was almost obedient to him, more so than a slave!
After barking an order to the man beside him, not long after, the junior who had been following Han Cheng came over and
“Has there been anything unusual about King Han recently?”
Zhao Lang asked with a faint frown.
No matter what, he must have this situation mapped out.
Xiao San nodded slightly nervously at this time.
Zhao Lang’s face was solemn, there was really something wrong!
Quickly asking.
“Did King Han come into contact with someone?”
Hearing this, Junior froze for a moment, and then said that
“No.”
“House Master, this is unusual, these last few days, I have often heard King Han calling your name in his dreams.”
“Also, usually when there’s not much people around, King Han is sighing and laughing, still calling out your name!”
Zhao Lang: “… ”
Zhao Lang would not be a bit at once.
If Han Cheng had betrayed him, it would be enough for him to deal with it secretly.
But what was this situation now?
Zhao Lang let out a faint breath at this time and said that
“I know, Little Three, keep an eye on King Han and protect him as well, and report back to me at any time if there is anything unusual.”
Xiao San led the order and went away.
Just when Zhao Lang was somewhat puzzled, Nu walked in and said that
“Master, manpower has been arranged in all parts of Handi, so if there is a situation, we will be able to respond soon.”
Zhao Lang nodded, now counting Liaodong, Yunmeng Ze, the Hu People’s Grassland, Qi Di and Han Di, his strength, although somewhat scattered, was finally able to take on the others head on.
“Has there been any news recently?”
Intelligence work was still something Zhao Lang viewed as important.
Nou thought for a while slightly and said that
“Recently, all the families have been repairing and preparing for their entry into Guanzhong after the beginning of next spring, there is nothing special news.”
Zhao Lang nodded, he had to say that although he had pitched a lot of money to the Xiang clan, this was indeed a brilliant move by the other side!
Nu remembered something at this time and said that
“Oh yes, master, there is also a message coming from the side of the humble ones these days.”
“There seems to be a recent movement in the Mo family, and the Mo family’s venerable son claims to have taken half a step into the realm of the Grand Master.”
“He also said that he has invited all the sons and daughters of the world to gather in the land of Wei this winter, saying that he will announce his new discovery of having stepped into the Great Master, and that he will also introduce his teacher.”
Hearing this news, Zhao Lang instantly became interested.
Last time in Xianyang, he had missed the opportunity to befriend the Mo family, but this time he couldn’t let it go no matter what!
If he could recruit some Mo family disciples, then his own strength would rise again by a large margin!
If he could recruit some of the Mo family’s children, his strength would rise again, and he would be able to carry out his plan with greater certainty!
Moreover, the land of Wei is not far from here, and he is also good friends with the King of Wei, so this time, he is determined to win!
As for why he chose Wei Di, Zhao Lang could understand.
The current situation was such that Xianyang was definitely not an option.
Only the land of Wei, in the middle of the countries, had easy access.
Soon afterwards Zhao Lang said that
“Get ready, this winter, we’ll make a trip to the land of Wei!”
The slave quickly led the order and left, but Zhao Lang was in a mental reverie that
Teacher of the Mozi Vantage, what a character that would be!
It would be great if he could get involved in some way.
At this time, Xianyang, inside Zhao Lang’s original manor house.
In a clearing, a roaring fire was burning.
On top of the fire, instead of a bronze pot, there is an ugly iron pot with a sealed lid.
On the lid, several small holes were left.
Inside the holes, a rush of watery steam was rising!
Bai Lao, the great son of the Mozi family, looked at this scene with glowing eyes, and said to Tie Zhu, who was also dumbfounded, at the side
“Is this the iron pot that Mister asked you to build?”
Tie Zhu nodded, this was the iron pot that Zhao Lang had asked him to make earlier.
But it was only now that it was built.
Vantage said with extreme excitement that
“This is the ‘air pressure’ of which Sir spoke!”
Zhao Lang had said something to him about qi, but he was only now showing it with this iron pot!
“If this air pressure is enough to hit, isn’t it able to lift things that cannot be lifted by human hands?!”
Vantage thought with extreme excitement.
Soon after, he said.
“There was a message from a disciple of the Mozi family before, that he had seen Sir in the land of Wei.”
“The news has gone out, and the gentleman should have heard the news, now that the world is in turmoil, I can’t wait any longer!”
Now that there are fewer and fewer people on the estate, and Uncle Fu has left, something must have happened!
He must find Mister as soon as possible and then use the power of the Mo family to protect him!
Vantage quickly ordered that
“Depart tomorrow for the land of Wei!”
