Chapter 024: Correction
Liu Chang is a sentimental person.
After spending such a long time with Han Xin, he really didn't want his master to do anything stupid.
No matter what he wants to do, it is basically unlikely to succeed, and he will only waste his life in vain.
But Liu Chang found that he was too young and could not do anything. Would the teacher listen to a young boy like him?
The princes left quickly, taking the drawings of the spinning wheel with them and quickly returning to their countries. They left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to fulfill their promise to reward Liu Chang. Only Liu Jiao sent someone to deliver a few books on military strategy. It is said that these books on military strategy were ones he had treasured for a long time, and there was no second copy of them in the world.
Liu Jiao probably heard about Liu Chang's study with Han Xin, so he specially gave him the Art of War. Liu Chang couldn't say how happy he was, but Liu Ruyi was really envious. He asked to borrow the book several times, but Liu Chang refused to lend it to him.
Anyone can borrow it except you.
After Liu Ruyi tried a series of methods including flattery, mindless licking, provocation, and saying the grapes , she finally gave up helplessly.
Liu Chang also mentioned these military strategies to Han Xin, but Han Xin didn't care at all. According to him, the military strategies written by predecessors were not for future generations to read. As a future generation, writing a few military strategies that will be passed down through the ages should be the most basic ability, right?
Liu Chang said:?
Han Xin had a guest at home. Usually, Han Xin's house didn't have many guests. Even if someone came, they were probably people of Xiao He or Fan Kuai's level. But this time, the person who came was very unusual. He was just an unknown person, a white wild man.
Liu Chang didn't like this man very much. He was older than Han Xin, had a goatee, and looked pretty good. However, every time Liu Chang saw him, he felt uncomfortable. His eyes kept looking around, and he always had to think for a long time before speaking. When he spoke, he was slow and shook his head, with the tone of a naturally arrogant nobleman.
But Han Xin seemed to treat him with great courtesy. Liu Chang rarely saw Han Xin respect someone so much. Even to his father, Han Xin was no more respectful.
Whenever Han Xin was teaching Liu Chang, this guy always liked to interrupt, but Liu Chang could see that this guy had not read any military strategies, and most of what he said was mixed with big principles, but he never got to the point, just like Liu Ying. No, at least the second brother would give benefits after he finished speaking the big principles, but this guy was just talking nonsense.
Han Xin's previous cold attitude did not last long. After Liu Chang urinated in the corner of his house, Han Xin broke down again and started to attack again. The scene of Han Xin's lecture was like a war. Han Xin roared with all his strength and kept asking: Why can't you understand such simple content? ? Is there something wrong with your brain?
Liu Chang also muttered: "Ask the guy with the goatee over there and see if he can answer! I have never even been to a military camp in my life, and you ask me how to defeat Bai Qi? How do I know? At most, I can help Bai Qi dig a pit!"
Han Xin couldn't help but curse: Bai Qi buried people like you!
The scholar was stunned to see the master and the apprentice swearing at each other. This was probably a scene he had never imagined. At this time, people still respected their teachers very much. Although the father is the leader of the son had not yet appeared, the father's authority was quite sacred and inviolable. The teacher's authority was also inviolable. In this era, if you were not filial to your parents and did not respect your teacher, your crime would be more serious than digging a pit and burying hundreds of thousands of people.
The scene of Han Xin teaching his disciples shattered the scholar's world view, outlook on life, and many other views. In short, they were all shattered by him.
But he didn't dare to say anything in front of Liu Chang. After Liu Chang was beaten and left, the scholar couldn't wait to shout: "How dare this boy be so rude to the king?"
Han Xin turned around suddenly with murderous eyes, and the scholar was also frightened.
Han Xin came back to his senses, put away his murderous aura, and said calmly: "My disciple has such a temperament."
The scholar half-closed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty was so powerful in Chu. Your words were as powerful as gold. No one dared to respect you, and no one even dared to look up at you. But now you have to confront this brat."
Han Xin frowned and said nothing.
"My king, you didn't follow my advice at the beginning. Do you regret it now?"
"You came to me just to humiliate me?"
"No, no."
"I came to see the king this time just to give him a chance to correct his mistakes."
"oh?"
"Back in Chu, I saw that Liu Bang had ill intentions, so I suggested that you contact the King of Huainan and the King of Liang to preemptively besiege Liu Bang. But you didn't listen to me, and said that the King of Huainan and the King of Liang were not worthy of sharing the world with you. You insisted on waiting until Chu's troops were strong before taking action alone. This was the first mistake your Majesty made."
"Later, Liu Bang asked you to come and greet him. I told you not to go, but you said Liu Bang would not dare to attack you, so you went alone. As a result, you were captured alive by Liu Bang. This was the second mistake you made."
Han Xin smiled disdainfully but said nothing.
"I came here this time in the hope that the king would stop and correct the mistakes he made."
"Oh? How do I correct it? How do I make up for it?"
"I came from Dai. I heard that before Chen Xi left Chang'an and went to Zhao, you called him to your palace."
"I forgot."
"You told him: The area you are stationed in is where the best soldiers in the world gather. And you are a minister trusted and favored by His Majesty. If someone reports you as a traitor, His Majesty will definitely not believe it. If someone reports you again, His Majesty will be suspicious. If someone reports you a third time, His Majesty will be furious and personally lead troops to encircle and suppress you."
"I will start an uprising for you from the central government, and you will start an uprising at the local level. If we work together, we can take over the world."
Hearing this, Han Xin finally couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"
The scholar grinned and said confidently, "I also know that the king took that boy as his apprentice in order to start an uprising in the capital. He wants to learn about the palace from him at any time. If necessary, he can also attack the palace through him. Is that right?"
Han Xin showed hesitation on his face and did not answer.
The scholar was shocked and asked in astonishment: "Is the king really willing to accept that boy as his disciple?"
"of course not!!"
"Just like you said! I was just using him!"
Han Xin became a little irritable again, but these words gave the scholar more confidence.
The scholar smiled calmly and said seriously: "Please let me tell you about the situation in the world."
" Everyone can see that things are about to change in Dai. If Liu Bang sends troops to attack Dai, the King of Huainan and the King of Liang will certainly be afraid. The King of Huainan contacted you at the beginning and has great ambitions. He has been preparing for war over the years, and Huainan also has a capable army. If a war really breaks out, Liu Jiao and Liu Jia may not be able to defeat him even if they attack from both sides."
"Liu Jiao became king only by virtue of being Liu Bang's younger brother. Although Liu Jia had military merits, he was far inferior to the King of Huainan. He was just a junior."
"In Daidi, the King of Yan is even more vulnerable and is definitely not Daidi's opponent. Liu Fei is just a kid and has no ability at all."
"The north and south are rising at the same time, with the King of Liang in the middle. As long as the King of Huainan and Dai can defeat Yan, Chu, Jing, and Qi, he will definitely turn to us. By then, most of the world will be in our hands. Liu Bang will be in a state of panic. At this time, you can lead your men to attack the palace and kill Lu Zhi and Liu Ying. Then the world will be at your fingertips!"
Hearing the words of the scholar, Han Xin did not show any excitement or other expressions. He was Han Xin, and he could see the situation of the world without anyone telling him. Perhaps he could see it even further than the scholar in front of him. After all, he was Han Xin.
However, Han Xin was always indecisive, perhaps because of his arrogant character, or because of his early frustration. In short, Han Xin in politics was almost two different people from Han Xin in military affairs. Han Xin in war was very decisive, without hesitation, and did things as soon as he said he would, without any dragging his feet. Few people could last long under him.
But once it came to other aspects, Han Xin became hesitant and could not make up his mind. Back in Chu, this scholar repeatedly advised him to act earlier. Couldn't he see that Liu Bang began to doubt him? But he was hesitant in various ways and dragged on until he was captured alive by Liu Bang.
This time, the same choice was once again placed before him. He once again began to hesitate and think about the pros and cons. The difference was that this time, there were not only ambitious people around him who were trying to persuade him to rebel.
