Chapter 488 Han Xin’s Death

 Chapter 487: Han Xin’s death

 The reason why Shi Lan betrayed Xiang Yu was neither for Qin Hao nor for herself, but for the sake of the common people in the world. Qin Hao naturally knew this.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Shi Lan helped Qin Hao a lot, and Qin Hao did lie to her from the beginning.

Of course, these are not the reasons for letting Shi Lan go. The most important reason why Qin Hao wants to let Shi Lan go is that Shi Lan still has value.

Looking at Shi Lan's leaving back, a sneer flashed across Qin Hao's lips: "Xiang Yu, as long as Shi Lan doesn't die, you will never be my opponent in this life."

Qin Hao's motive for letting Shi Lan go was not simple. It was the same as when he let go of Zhang Liang, because he was convinced that Zhang Liang would still return to his hands. Zhang Liangzhong must also know this.

And Qin Hao let Shi Lan go just to restrain Xiang Yu. If Yu Ji died, Xiang Yu would have nothing to worry about, so it was better to let Shi Lan drag Xiang Yu down.

Yu Shilan left Wancheng in a daze, but when she came back to her senses, she realized that she seemed to have nowhere to go after leaving Qin Hao, so she couldn't help but think of what Qin Hao said to her.

Shi Lan, you are worthy of everyone in the world, and you have to live for yourself from now on.

It was these words that gave Shi Lan hope to live again, and she felt endless gratitude to Qin Hao in her heart.

 Thank you, Lord, Shi Lan has nothing to repay in this life, but in the next life, he will tie a ring of grass to repay.

Looking at the Overlord Halberd on the horse, Shi Lan's eyes flashed with determination, and he had a vague idea in his heart.

　　————

 After the Battle of Sizhou, the war not only did not stop, but the scope of the war became even larger, extending to the whole world.

Yangzhou, with the addition of Sun Jian, the battle began to tilt toward the Han army again. Hong Xiuquan resisted hard but was unwilling to admit defeat.

Yuzhou, Li Mi did not dare to raise his head after Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's coalition forces fought against him. Now, what Li Mi wants to think about is no longer integrating Nanyang, but how to keep Yuzhou.

In Jingzhou, Bai Qi won three victories in the Nanyang battlefield. The Nanyang coalition forces were as frightened as tigers. Many county magistrates surrendered in despair. Bai Qi finally conquered more than 20 counties in Nanyang in only twenty-nine days.

However, although Bai Qi's achievements were brilliant, they were completely overshadowed by another person, and he was Han Xin!

During this month, the news that Han Xin ambushed Xianbei Shanyu Helian quickly spread throughout the Central Plains like a hurricane.

 Xianbei is the largest ethnic group on the grassland. It has caused trouble to the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty for decades. All Han people hate it, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Xianbei Shanyu Helian has no talent or virtue, and the Xianbei tribes are also dissatisfied. Therefore, the plundering south this time is second to none. The primary purpose is to establish power and conquer the ethnic groups. But who would have thought that Helian died at the hands of Han Xin? .

  The ambush and killing of Helian was naturally not the result of Han Xin alone. Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Song and Jiang all made great efforts, but who made Han Xin the chief planner? So this credit naturally goes to Han Xin.

 After the news of killing Helian spread, Han Xin became a well-known hero in one fell swoop, but his bad luck also came as a result.

He Lian was a Shanyu of Xianbei, but he was killed by the weak Han people, so how could Xianbei give up? Besides, the big man is still weaker than ever.

 After the death of Helian, the position of Chanyu was vacant. Kebineng, Budugen and Suli were all dissatisfied with each other, and finally decided that whoever killed Han Xin would become the Chanyu. Xianbei dispatched troops and horses to increase the intensity of the invasion, and at the same time sent envoys to ask the Han to hand over Han Xin to quell the war. Otherwise, 400,000 cavalry would go south directly until they invaded Chang'an.

The court had just experienced the rebellion of the deposed emperor, and loyal ministers either fled or were killed, so no one dared to speak up. Even Wang Yun, who had always been stubborn, chose to remain silent under the "general trend".

 After Liu Hong hesitated again and again, he decided to sacrifice Han Xin to quell the war.

In Liu Hong's view, Han Xin's official position was not high, and killing Helian was a big factor in luck, so it was definitely a good deal to be able to eliminate a big battle with him alone.

 As for the infamy after the war?

No matter how hard Liu Hong washes himself, he can't be whitewashed, so is there any need to care about the reputation?

Besides, this kind of thing must be done secretly, so who would know?

Liu Hong thought that what he did was foolproof, but in the end he was found out, and the culprit was Taipingwei, Da Sohe's mortal enemy.

After the Jiyouqing three-state coalition forces received the news, the coalition forces were furious for a while, and they all clamored to abolish the foolish emperor. The people of the three states were also scolding the foolish emperor for harming the country, but these scoldings had no effect at all.

 Zhuojun, the coalition camp.

When Liu Yu announced the court's order in public, Liu Bei was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Captain, even if General Han Xin is handed over, Xianbei will never retreat. This is just Xianbei's strategy to get us into chaos. Therefore, I will firmly oppose it.”

After Liu Bei, Yuan Shao also said: "Yes, dignity is earned by fighting and cannot be exchanged by one person. Abandoning generals and begging for peace is an act of digging one's own grave, so the last general is also firmly opposed to handing over Han Xin." "

After Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Song Jiang and other generals and governors also stood up to oppose it. They had no interest entanglement with Han Xin at all, but if the Han Xin could hand over Han Xin to seek peace, why couldn't he hand over them?

In grief over the death of the rabbit and the fox, the prefects all sided with Han Xin in a tacit understanding, but Han Fu stood up with a sad face and gritted his teeth and said: "If the war can be calmed down, I will be willing to hand over the dog son."

 “Han Xin is willing to sacrifice his life for the country.”

Han Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and said in a deep voice. Everyone could not help but be moved by Han Xin's dedication, but they did not realize that Han Xin's eyes were full of hatred at this time.

Liu Yu sighed, stood up, helped Han Xin up, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my dear nephew, as long as I, Liu Yu, am still alive, I will never hand you over."

“But the imperial court is under His Majesty’s orders?”

"Go to TM's court. I will never obey such a **** order."

 Liu Yu, who has always been known for his loyalty, actually refused to accept the court's order. This shocked the attention of countless people, who were also waiting to see Liu Hong's jokes.

Among the many clan members of the Han Dynasty, only Liu Yu could truly possess both ability and political integrity while possessing military power.

 So if Liu Yu proposes to abolish Liu Hong, both the military and political circles will definitely follow him, and Liu Hong's good days will really come to an end.

 Liu Hong, who was far away in Chang'an, realized that he had gotten into trouble again when he learned that even Liu Yu had refused the order.

Even this clan uncle, who has always been loyal, has dared to openly defy the decree. It shows that there are people in the world who are dissatisfied with him?

Liu Hong finally felt the seriousness of the problem, so he quickly issued an edict saying that this was a frame-up by Ni Ming. The court had never issued such an order, and he directly put all the blame on Zhang Sheng.

This move was almost ruined by Liu Hong, but fortunately he moved quickly enough, otherwise Liu Yu would have initiated another proposal to abolish the emperor.
