Xiao He walked quickly all the way to the outside of the camp and saw Zhao Lang waiting outside.
The camp of a great general, even if it was the crown prince, had to be informed, this was a military rule.
“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Arriving in front of Zhao Lang, Xiao He hurriedly saluted and
“Please also invite Your Highness the Crown Prince to enter the camp.”
Zhao Lang revealed a smile, and before he could speak, Nu, who was on the side, frowned and said.
“Xiao He, the master has arrived, why didn’t General Han come out to greet him?”
This was of course to be greeted by the main general, even if it was Meng Ten’s camp.
This was also the rule.
Xiao He revealed an awkward smile and said, in quick succession.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, as soon as Han Xin he came back, he fainted and fell asleep, Fang called out for a while but didn’t wake up.”
Upon hearing this, Nu then stared and said.
“What call…”
Only before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Lang stopped him and said to Xiao He, the
“General Han is tired and it’s only right that he rests, so I’ll go see him and leave.”
After saying that, he walked towards the inside, Xiao He hurriedly followed, and while walking, he said.
“Your Highness, Han Xin has hardly closed his eyes for the past few days, and he only eats one meal a day, commanding his army to lay traps.”
“With the methods of driving, luring the enemy, breaking the road to drive the enemy troops in front, and then besieging them, he was able to use the infantry to kill these Xiong Nu cavalrymen, so his energy and spirit were greatly depleted.”
Recommended to me as a book chase by an old book lover I’ve known for ten years! It’s so damn good, I use it to read aloud and listen to books to pass the time while driving and at bedtime, and you can download it here!
“This speaking etiquette is all a blur.”
Xiao He tried his best to use simple and straightforward words, saying what Han Xin had gone through in the past few days.
When Han Xin had the favour of inviting him under the moon, he did not want the other party to have a gap with Zhao Lang.
Zhao Lang nodded, this day, he also read the battle report of the accompanying army.
According to the reports, in such a large area, it should be impossible to surround the cavalry with infantry.
You can’t rush them.
But, instead, Han Xin divided his army into hundreds of units, and then spread them out like a chessboard.
And then he sets up the layout.
He drove the Xiongnu into the traps he had set up in advance by driving them away, luring them, breaking their paths, and so on.
In order to kill so many people.
Even though the Huns were already defeated and panicked, the calculations and corrective actions required were unimaginable.
It must be said that Han Xin’s command of the army was unrivalled.
Even Mengtian could not do it.
Zhao Lang quickly said.
“I know, I just came here today to check on General Han, it’s good to know he’s okay.”
With that, he entered Han Xin’s tent.
Han Xin was lying on the Qin army’s travelling bed, sleeping soundly.
Zhao Lang couldn’t help but shake his head.
Seeing this scene, Xiao He squeezed out a smile and walked over to Han Xin’s side, intending to kick the other party to wake him up, but he couldn’t care less at this time.
If you really want to offend His Highness the Crown Prince to death, you are afraid that Han Xin will have to sleep for a long time.
Having followed Zhao Lang for so long, he knew how the Crown Prince’s heart was.
He’s not ruthless, he’s really ruthless!
But before he could move, he saw Zhao Lang unclasp his cloak and cover Han Xin’s body, saying.
“Although it’s summer, there is wind, and it’s easiest to catch a cold after being weak.”
“Keep an eye on it.”
After covering the cloak, Zhao Lang continued to pour a cup of water and placed it next to him, saying.
“After waking up, drinking some water is also excellent.”
Seeing this scene, Nu was directly dumbfounded, Xiao He also couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, then hurriedly said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, this kind of thing, let me come…”
Zhao Lang waved his hand and stopped the other party, then poured another cup of water for the other party and said with a smile that
“Brother Xiao, these days, it’s also been hard on you.”
The deployment of supplies in the Northlands had been slowly handed over to Xiao He long ago.
It was thanks to the other party that Zhao Lang was able to complete such an arrangement.
It could be said that it was a labour of love.
Xiao He took the water and said in return.
“Many thanks, Your Highness the Crown Prince, it’s all part of my duties.”
Zhao Lang smiled and said back.
“Brother Xiao is being too formal, in the beginning we were also brothers ah, it’s just that the war is busy, these days it’s rusty.”
Seeing Zhao Lang talking about what happened before, Xiao He also revealed a smile, the image of Zhao Lang falling on his face to welcome him, he still always remembered it in his heart.
Of course, he would never be arrogant because of this.
The promises and closeness given by the higher-ups, which ones could be taken seriously and which ones couldn’t, he knew clearly in his heart.
But no matter what, Zhao Lang was already treating them with the courtesy of a national scholar!
After chatting a bit, Zhao Lang got up and left, saying.
“Brother Xiao, then I’ll leave first, you have a good rest as well.”
“When we return to Xianyang, we’ll meet up some more.”
Xiao He naturally answered yes, then sent Zhao Lang away.
When Zhao Lang left, Xiao He returned to his tent, only instead of going to rest, he stared blankly at Han Xin.
It wasn’t until late afternoon that Han Xin woke up leisurely, looked at Xiao He and then at the cloak on his body, his complexion moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything more.
Then he picked up the water next to him and drank it all in one go.
Only after finishing who he drank did he say to Xiao He.
“Why haven’t you gone to rest?”
Xiao He said coldly that
“His Highness the Crown Prince came to see you, and even covered you with a cloak and poured water.”
Han Xin nodded, of course he recognised Zhao Lang’s cloak.
Seeing that Han Xin was still a picture of disbelief, Xiao He said with hatred at this time that
“His Highness the Crown Prince treats us with the courtesy of a national scholar!”
“In the future, if you’re ever so arrogant and go wrong again, I’ll kill you myself!”
Seeing Xiao He speaking harshly, Han Xin couldn’t help himself this time and said.
“I am a general, to fight and make a success is my vocation, of course I want a title and reputation, His Highness the Crown Prince tolerates me, what are you mad about!”
Hearing this, Xiao He froze for a moment, then reacted, pointing at Han Xin and said.
“You!… Hmph, just do it, if you were a suspicious one! I’m even afraid that you, Han Xin, will die without a corpse!”
After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left the tent in a huff.
When Xiao He left the place, Han Xin looked at the cloak left behind by Zhao Lang and couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
He certainly didn’t have any rebellious intentions.
Not to mention Zhao Lang’s affection for him, but let’s just say that the way the Qin army fought nowadays was predictably and definitely gunpowder-based.
In a battle like this, command was certainly important, but even more important was logistics.
Without logistical support, a lone army, would not be able to make it.
Therefore, he has no reason to rebel.
As for his arrogance.
Hmph! He has the qualifications for arrogance!
If he couldn’t even tolerate that, then he wouldn’t be the Gongzi Lang who had been so generous to him in the first place.
At this time, the Crown Prince’s camp.
Zhao Lang was dealing with military affairs, and Nu stood next to him with a not-so-happy look on his face.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Zhao Lang said blandly.
Slave returned at this time and
“Master, Nu is just thinking that that Han Xin is also too arrogant. ”
“In Nu’s opinion, why don’t we…”
Zhao Lang said back, without any good sense of humour.
“How about? How about killing them all? Kill them and you go to war?”
Meng Tian had already advised him, how could he still do such a thing?
Nu clicked his tongue in embarrassment, how could he know this.
Just then, a sound of horses’ hooves came from outside the camp, Zhao Lang looked over with some confusion.
Nu quickly changed the topic and explained.
“Master, that should be a messenger back to Xianyang.”
Zhao Lang nodded, and a trace of emotion arose in his heart, finally going back, I don’t know how the cheap old man is doing.
Outside the camp, a group of messengers, were speeding towards Xianyang.
