Chapter 274: Bear Heart Secret Edict

Mr. Shusun himself has a "amazing" courage, especially afraid of going to the enemy camp, but he is better than the enemy. Whenever Xiang Kang has any more danger and there is no need to designate a diplomatic task for a special envoy, among Mr. Shusun's disciples, there are always people who stand up and strive to serve Xiang Kang for the teacher, even if they are likely to not come back, they are willing to do so.

This time, the same was true. After repeated consideration and careful discussion, Xiang Kang asked Mr. Shusun to recommend a disciple to him as an envoy of the Han army from his disciples. Shusun Tongcai told his disciples about Xiang Kang's meaning. His many nerd disciples immediately fought for this mission and almost fought on the spot. In the end, Mr. Shusun had no choice but to hand over this glorious and arduous task to his disciple Xia Wan through the draw of lots. He accompanied Sima Hu's envoy back to Luoyang to submit the letter of state, and persuaded Sima Husun ​​in person to abandon the secret and turn to the Han army.

The rebellious general of Zhao State, Sima Se, was originally too deep with the Han army. At present, Xiang Yu's overall strength is obviously stronger than that of the Han army. Sima Seoul would leave the world and form an alliance with the Han army unless he was stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this trip was not only almost impossible to succeed, but also likely to be given to Xiang Yu as a gift by Sima Seoul. However, Mr. Shusun's favorite disciple Xia Wan, who was completely brainwashed by the teacher with Confucian righteousness of the monarch and ministers, was not afraid at all. While accepting the task happily, he also bowed his head to Xiang Kang repeatedly, ensuring that the trip would definitely complete the task. No matter what method he wanted, he would persuade Sima Seo to turn to the Han army.

Xiang Kang did not treat this disciple of Shusun Tong who was fooled by his teacher. In addition to personally granting him an official position, he also promised to give the reward to his family when Xia Wan could not come back. In addition, he personally walked out of Xianyang Palace to see Shusun Tong's disciple Xia Wan off. Xia Wan was so moved that she was crying and wished that she could tie her wings and immediately flew to Luoyang to meet Sima Sei, imitating Su Qin and Zhang Yi, using his perfect tongue to persuade Sima Sei to abandon evil and follow the righteousness, and help Xiang Kang send troops to attack Xiang Yu. Even if he failed, he could still leave his reputation for eternity.

Unfortunately, after following Sima Hu's secret envoy to Luoyang with the gorgeous float, Sima Hu did not immediately summon Xia Wan, who was promoted to the Han army's envoy by Xiang Kang on the front line. Instead, he summoned the secret envoy of the self-army who had been forced to use a divisive plan for Xiang Yu before. He asked him about the envoy's experience. The envoy truthfully reported that he had been under house arrest by the Han army for a period of time, and then said:

"Later, when the Wei minister finally saw Xiang Kang's rebel thief, Xiang Kang's rebel thief was not only ordered to return to China with his envoy, but also asked the young envoy to bring you a word, saying that he also knew that the King, you arranged for the Wei minister to go to Xianyang, which was a helpless act of being forced by the King of Western Chu. It was not the original intention of your king, so he would never take it seriously, nor would he care about you with the King. He also had some heartfelt words that would make his envoy report to you in person."

Sima Se vaguely understood Xiang Kang's implicit voice, and hurriedly turned to Li Zuoche, who was regarded as Situ, and asked, "Guangwu Jun, what do you think? From Xiang Kang's tone, he seemed to know the truth."

"It should be like this." Li Zuoche replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, the King of Western Chu's plan has failed. Xiang Kang also guessed that you were forced to do this by King of Western Chu."

"Sir! How did he see through it?" Sima Xie cursed, and then without thinking, he immediately ordered: "Transfer the order to Xuan Xiangkang's son to enter the palace and Jin."

"King, wait, please wait." Li Zuoche hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiang Kang saw through the King of Western Chu's plan of alienation, and took this opportunity to send envoys to pay homage. He must have wanted to use the trick and take this opportunity to provoke the relationship between us and King of Western Chu. If you summon him, the King of Western Chu will definitely be very unhappy when he knows it. In the opinion of his subordinates, we should take down Xiang Kang's envoy immediately and send it to Pengcheng with his letter of state to the King of Western Chu. Only in this way can we clear the suspicion and avoid the King of Western Chu from becoming suspicious of us."

Sima Seok was a little shaken, but after thinking about it, Sima Seok immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you meet me. We are more careful when we figure out what tricks Xiang Kang's child wants to play. Otherwise, we will hand over the envoy of Xiang Kang's child directly to the King of Western Chu. If the envoy of that envoy said something bad for us, we will not know how to be fooled even if we suffer."

Li Zuoche, who had carefully studied Xiang Kang's style of conduct, advised him again, but unfortunately Sima Ke refused to obey and still ordered the summons firmly. Li Zuoche had no choice but to remind Sima Ke not to believe Xiang Kang's words, so as not to be deceived by the shameless Xiang Kang.

Mr. Shusun's proud disciple Xia Wanye finally had the opportunity to make contributions to Xiang Kang. After being summoned to the so-called Henan Hall, Xia Wan, who received the true teachings of Mr. Shusun's etiquette, was gentle and kind, and expressed his respect to Sima Husun's respect for the complicated Zhou rituals. Unfortunately, Sima Hu, who was a martial artist, did not know how to appreciate the ancient style than Xiang Kang, and quickly interrupted: "No need to be so polite, say, what do you Han King send you here to do?"

"Report to the King of Henan, my king sent a young envoy here." Xia Wan replied politely: "I want to persuade the king to abandon the secret and turn to the light, respect our Han King to fight against the alliance leader, and join forces with our Han army to advance eastward to fight against the great rebellious pseudo- overlord Xiang Yu."

Before Xia Wan finished speaking, the civil and military officials who accompanied Sima Huo to summon him could not help laughing. Sima Huo couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiang Kang's son wants me to respect him to fight against the leader of the alliance and join forces with him to fight against the King of Western Chu? What is he? How dare I let me respect him as the leader of the alliance?"

"The king is so bad. Why can't my king of Han be the leader of the alliance?" Mr. Shusun's favorite disciple Xia Wanli asked with confidence, and then said: "At the beginning of the world's rebellion against Qin, the king of Han was the prime minister who raised the banner of righteousness. He led the people to rebel against Qin one day earlier than King Zhang Chu Chen Sheng. Later, my king was invincible again. After King Zhang Chu was defeated, he continued to fight against the violent Qin and created opportunities for the princes in the world to restore the six countries! He broke the Wuguan and entered Guanzhong, captured Ziying to pacify Qin, and destroyed the violent Qin for six hundred years with his own achievements. Who can do the world? How can he not be able to defeat the violent Qin?"

After speaking passionately, Xia Wan said even more proudly: "What's more, Emperor Yi has issued a robbery to our lord, the King of Han, and ordered our lord to join the loyal and righteous people in the world to fight against the fake King Xiang Yu who was deceived by his ministers. Our lord, King of Han, was even more justified and unwilling to do so!"

Hearing this, Li Zuoche, who was sitting beside him, immediately his muscles stiffened and he complained in his heart, knowing that Sima Sei had fallen into Xiang Kang's trap. Sima Sei's heart was thrilled and asked, "What did you say? What did Emperor Yi promulgate to your King of Han?"

"The edict of clothing and belts!" Xia Wan loudly answered the noun that Xiang Kang had invented first, saying: "The communist emperor in the world was deceived by the fake king Xiang Yu, and was rewarded and punished. He could not be independent and could not be allowed. He could only hide the edict in the brocade belt and send his confidant people to Guanzhong to hand it over to our lord, so that our lord would act according to the edict! Our lord should naturally become the leader of the alliance to fight against rebellion!"

Sima Seung's face changed, and after a while, he smiled and said, "It's nonsense! Xiang Kang's son is indeed bold. He dares to forge the edict of the Emperor of Yi, and is not afraid that the world will not tolerate it. He will die in the future without a place to be buried!"

"Master, my lord, the King of Han knows you won't believe it." Xia Wan immediately replied: "My lord, the King of Han, only if the foreign ministers ask you, why did you help the fake overlord Xiang Yu design to alienate the king and minister of our Han Kingdom, and my lord, the King of Han will see through in advance?"

"What did Xiong Xin tell her secret?!" Sima Sei's heart thrilled again, and immediately suspected the unlucky Chu Yidi Xiong Xin for Xiang Kang.

"King, now you should understand what people want?" Xia Wan took the opportunity to persuade Sima Jue and said, "Xiang Yu was unrighteous and used his ministers to deceive the king. First, he personally abolished the promise of Emperor Yi, and wanted our lord, the King of Han first entered Guanzhong without rewarding him. Then he divided the unfairness and bullied the princes of the world. Now he also made power and formed a party to bully the King of Chu, defiling the country and harming the people, poisoning people and ghosts, and everyone in the world to fight against him! Everyone can punish him! As a minister of Emperor Yi, you should rectify the righteous army, promote martial arts and show his power, and work with our lord, King of Han to fight against the false king Xiang Yu, restore the country, and create a great achievement for all generations!"

Of course, Xia Wan's passion was in vain. Sima Seo didn't listen to a word at all. He blinked his eyes and just went to see Li Zuoche. Li Zuoche remained silent and said for a while: "Master, why not take a look at Xiang Kang's letter of national letter."

Sima Sei thought it was true, and quickly ordered Xia Wan to present Xiang Kang's letter of nationality. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang did not mention the so-called lace edict in the letter of nationality, but he just mocked Xiang Yu's whimsical imagination and tried to use a sub-scheming to alienate the Han monarch and ministers. In addition, he explained the power to Sima Sei, clearly pointed out that Sima Sei would be used by Xiang Yu as cannon fodder, and urged Sima Sei to turn against each other and form an alliance with the Han army to fight against Western Chu. So after reading it, Sima Sei couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why didn't your King of Han mention the lace edict in the letter of nationality?"

"Of course it is to protect Emperor Yi." Xia Wan immediately replied: "Xiang Yu's fake king is ruthless and must have sent a spy to monitor the king in Luoyang. When we learn that our Lord Han King presented you with a letter of nationality to you, we will inevitably ask for a look. If our Lord Han King mentioned the major matter of the robbery in the letter of nationality, the false king Xiang Yu would definitely take the blame, kill Emperor Yi, and trap our Lord for being unkind and unrighteous. Therefore, our Lord Han King was considering the safety of Emperor Yi, so he deliberately did not mention the robbery in the letter of nationality."

After saying that, Xia Wan quickly added: "Don't worry, my lord, the King of Han is definitely not talking nonsense. If the King does not believe it, he can send his confidant to Xianyang and ask my lord for a robbery to watch it."

Sima Hu was skeptical, but he turned his gaze to Li Zuoche again. Li Zuoche first took Xiang Kang's letter of state to read the content carefully, and then gave Sima Huo a wink. Sima Huo understood and hurriedly ordered Xia Wan to retreat for the time being, and then asked Li Zuoche: "What do you want to say to Mr. Guangwu?"

"Xiang Kang is indeed tall." Li Zuoche sighed and said, "When it comes to the riot of the enemy, the King of Western Chu really doesn't even deserve to carry his shoes. He just found an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he immediately fought back and pointed directly at the key point of the King of Western Chu. Now it's the turn of King of Western Chu to get in a dilemma."

"What exactly does Guangwu Jun want to say?" Sima Seo became more confused as he heard it, and said, "Is the matter of wearing a belt edict true or false?"

"Of course 99% are fake." Li Zuoche replied without thinking: "And this envoy of the Han Kingdom was definitely a deadly death who was not aware of the inside story. He was probably a stubborn dead soldier. Even if he was tortured, he would never admit to the King of Western Chu that he had mentioned the edict in front of you, which made the King of Western Chu even more suspicious and unable to judge."

Speaking of this, Li Zuoche suddenly understood something and said with a hurried smile: "It's indeed amazing. Originally, Xiang Kang could have let our messengers see the so-called robbery he forged, and brought us fake news without sending the death room. However, he must have considered that our messengers were afraid of being implicated and did not dare to report truthfully when they came back, so he simply sent the death room directly. It was so meticulous that it was simply creepy."

"Guangwu, please make it simpler and more explicit. I don't understand." Sima Seo smiled bitterly and said, "You are really sure that the robbery is fake?"

"Of course, it's certain." Li Zuoche replied: "Emperor Yi is not a fool. Even if he is willing to kill the King of Western Chu, he will definitely not fall into words and leave a risk of leaking the news. Even if he really hopes that Xiang Kang will lead the princes of the world to capture Pengcheng and rescue him from the King of Western Chu, he will never send someone to directly pass on the imperial edict to Xiang Kang, giving Xiang Kang the opportunity to remove him through the hands of Western Chu."

"Then we don't have to worry." Sima Seo was relieved immediately and said, "Just just hand over Xiang Kang's letter of state and the envoy to the King of Western Chu. Anyway, the false is not true. The King of Western Chu will know the true or false as long as he asks Emperor Yi."

"King, we don't believe it, but the King of Western Chu may not believe it." Li Zuoche said with a wry smile: "The King of Western Chu took away the power of Emperor Yi and had already formed an irreconcilable grudge with Emperor Yi. He must be always wary of Emperor Yi. He heard the edict of the robbery. How could he not be suspicious of Emperor Yi? No matter how Emperor Yi explained it, the King of Western Chu would definitely think that Emperor Yi was making a quibble, and would only hate Emperor Yi even more."

Thinking of Xiang Yu's fierce temper, Sima Seung certainly did not dare to deny this possibility. After thinking for a moment, Sima Seung simply said: "How about this, let's not interfere with such a thing. Just kill Xiang Kang's messenger with one knife and just pretend that he didn't know about it."

"Xiang Kang had long expected that we might do this." Li Zuoche sneered: "He deliberately asked his envoy to take a float to Luoyang with great fanfare to let the King of Western Chu know that he had sent someone to contact us. In addition to us, other princes would definitely send people to spread the so-called rumor of the robbery. At that time, other princes would report secrets to the King of Western Chu, but you will never mention this matter. The King of Western Chu would not suspect that you had secretly colluded with Xiang Kang and were interested in plotting against him?"

Finally, it was Sima Se's turn to be disgusted and disgusted, and said in great difficulty: "What should we do? Should we only take action first and tell Xiang Yu in detail first, so as not to doubt that the ruthless man would suspect us?"

Li Zuoche quickly weighed the pros and cons, and found that no matter whether he helped Xiang Yu expose Xiang Kang's shameless discord, the self-armed army could not avoid the fate of being driven by Xiang Yu as cannon fodder. When he turned to Xiang Kang, who was still accumulating strength, he would definitely call Xiang Yu to retaliate immediately. No matter how he chose, he would only get angry. Only by continuing to work hard can he have the chance to minimize the losses of the self-armed army, and he quickly made up his mind.

"King, it seems that we can only do this now." Li Zuoche said: "I will write a letter to the King of Western Chu for you, tell him the details of the matter, and also clearly point out Xiang Kang's vicious intention and sinister purpose of deliberately spreading rumors. He tried to persuade him to act calmly, and not pursue the truth or falsehood of the edict. He asked the Emperor Yi to express his edict to the world and condemn Xiang Kang's crime of rebellion for his crime of rebellion. In turn, he first seized the moral superiority, and then slowly took it."

"What should I do if that envoy from Kang Xiaoer?" Sima Xie asked hurriedly.

"You can decide for yourself if you are irrelevant to death." Li Zuoche said: "If the king is determined to cut off contact with Xiang Kang, he will give him directly to the King of Western Chu. If the king wants to leave room, he can also directly reject Xiang Kang's request and drive his envoy back to Xianyang, the King of Western Chu. You can use the two countries to fight against each other and not kill them."

Li Zuoche was surprised. After a little calculation, Sima Sei actually said, "Then drive Xiang Kang's messenger back. We have to rely on him to sell salt to us, which completely tear our face. Not only do we have to rely on all the land thousands of miles away to supply salt, but we can't secretly communicate with Xiang Kang's children and sit down and discuss it."

Li Zuoche didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart: "No wonder Qin was able to unify it, and for the sake of a little salt transportation, he was reluctant to break up completely. How could the princes outside the pass talk together?"

He sighed secretly, and was currently consuming Sima Sei's salary. Li Zuoche, a typical professional strategist at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, still did not oppose Sima Sei's decision. He just picked up a pen and wrote a book. He told Xiang Yu about the so-called robbery in Sima Sei's tone, and clearly pointed out that Xiang Kang spread this rumor to alienate the monarch and ministers of Xiang Yu and Xiong Xin, and even wanted to use Xiang Yu's hands to get rid of Xiong Xin, completely kill Xiang Yu with the emperor to give up the moral advantage of the princes, so that Xiang Kang would become famous in the future to use military forces against Xiang Yu.

In addition, Li Zuoche must of course persuade Xiang Yu to act calmly, and understand that even if the clothes and belt edict are really true, he cannot attack Xiong Xinchu. He must wait until Xiang Kang, who poses the greatest threat to Xiang Yu, and then decide how to deal with Xiong Xin. He is confident and sincere, for fear that Xiang Yu will not obey.

After reading Li Zuoche's wonderful letter, Sima Seo applauded and said that even if Xiang Yu was still a little rational, he would definitely act calmly after reading this letter and would not let Xiang Kang's vicious intention succeed. Unfortunately, Li Zuoche shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just to leave everything to fate. With Xiang Kang's child's treacherous behavior, he would never expect to completely anger the King of Western Chu through a rumor. After he used us to release the news, he would definitely have more sinister tricks."

"What other evil tricks do Xiang Kang's children have?" Sima Seo asked curiously.
