Chapter 84 My Lord's Foundation Will Surely Be Completed



Jiang Tian opened the general selection option.

Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Li Guang, ...

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, all the famous generals emerged.

To Jiang Tian's delight, he saw the military genius Han Xin.

Throughout history, China has produced countless military generals.

However, only Han Xin can be regarded as a military genius.

This person's martial prowess may be far inferior to that of Xiang Yu and Dian Wei, but the military genius Han Xin was a marshal.

This person has the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

Even ordinary soldiers or civilians could exert a powerful advantage in Han Xin's hands.

At his peak, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, commanded a million soldiers. However, he was besieged at Gaixia. Han Xin's "Song of Chu on All Sides" led to the surrender or defection of Xiang Yu's Chu army.

Han Xin believed that the more soldiers the better.

With the military genius Han Xin, it might be possible to break the deadlock between Zhang Shicheng's 200,000-strong army and the Liao army's 100,000-strong army.

Jiang Tian did not hesitate to use all his anger points to exchange for the military genius Han Xin.

That evening, Jiang Tian and Xiang Yu discussed matters in the county government office.

"Xiang Yu, where is Zhang Shicheng's main force? Have you been able to scout it out?"

"My lord, I have already dispatched more than a dozen scout cavalry units. No matter where Zhang Shicheng's main force goes, it cannot escape our eyes."

“Yes,” Jiang Tian nodded. Zhang Shicheng’s large-scale troop movement would involve a large number of civilians.

These people were their shields, their slaves, and their food.

"Seize the opportunity and take the initiative."

"Yes," Xiang Yu said, cupping his hands in greeting, "these rebel armies are nothing but ants, utterly incapable of being defeated."

"We cannot be careless," Xiang Yu's men were few in number and lacked training.

They haven't held onto Dragon City for long, and their foundation is not yet secure.

It's hard to say what would have happened if they had encountered Zhang Shicheng's main force.

"Reporting...My lord, someone outside requests an audience," Luo Xiaohu said, bowing respectfully outside the hall.

"Who is it? Bring them in."

The visitor identified himself as Han Xin.

Han Xin... why is this guy only arriving now?

Luo Xiaohu quickly brought Han Xin in.

"This humble subject, Han Xin, greets my lord." The man bowed deeply.

Jiang Tian took a look and saw that the man was dressed in plain clothes, which were covered with patches.

Wow, this must be Han Xin before he even debuted!

You system, you old bastard.

Jiang Tian cursed under his breath.

When he redeemed Dian Wei and Xiang Yu from the system, the two of them were also without equipment, but they were Xiang Yu and Dian Wei at their peak.

This Han Xin is dressed in tattered clothes, and looks exactly like Han Xin during the time when he was being helped by the river by the washerwoman.

"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Jiang Tian quickly stepped forward and helped Han Xin up from the ground.

"You haven't eaten, have you?"

Han Xin gave an awkward smile, then touched his stomach, which was growling loudly with hunger.

"Bring me a roasted lamb leg, two pounds of flatbread, and a jar of good wine."

"promise……"

Upon hearing this, Han Xin's eyes immediately lit up; he had never tasted such good food back in his hometown.

"My lord, please don't be so polite. Just give me a pancake." Han Xin timidly held up one finger.

"That won't do." Jiang Tian patted Han Xin on the shoulder. "Prepare a banquet. Today, I will drink with Xiang Yu and you. I am overjoyed to have the God of War's allegiance."

"My lord, you flatter me. I am but a commoner, how could I be worthy of the title of God of War?" Han Xin was secretly pleased, but he was still a novice who had just started out.

Han Xin hadn't expected Jiang Tian to think so highly of him.

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, walked over and looked Han Xin up and down: "I remember I also have a fellow named Han Xin under my command. He is the halberd bearer in my tent."

you do not say.

Han Xin served under Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu was incompetent at employing people. He had military geniuses like Han Xin and Fan Zeng under his command, but he didn't use any of them.

Han Xin looked at Xiang Yu and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "@Han Xin, a commoner, greets King Xiang."

Xiang Yu's hometown was Suqian, Han Xin's hometown was Huai'an, and Liu Bang's hometown was Xuzhou. These places are not far apart.

They had known each other for a long time.

Moreover, Xiang Yu was already a handsome young man who was famous throughout the countryside before he raised his army.

The group arrived at the restaurant.

The table was already laden with all sorts of delicacies.

Jiang Tian sat down, with Xiang Yu and Han Xin sitting on either side of him.

"Today I've brought out some fine wine that even Xiang Yu never tasted, so you can all drink to your heart's content." Jiang Tian spent fifty rage points to exchange for five bottles of 65° Red Star Erguotou.

When Jiang Tian placed the five bottles of Red Star Erguotou in front of them, the two were taken aback.

"Two bottles each for you, I'll just have two glasses." Jiang Tian helped them unscrew the bottle caps.

A strong aroma of wine wafted over.

"Good wine... truly good wine!" Xiang Yu happily picked up the wine bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the entire bottle clean.

Xiang Yu felt a fiery streak travel from his throat all the way down to his stomach.

Han Xin tilted his head back and drank two large gulps of water before he began to cough violently.

"Han Xin, drink slowly," Jiang Tian said with concern.

Han Xin nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your concern, my lord."

Jiang Tian tore off a piece of roasted lamb leg and stuffed it into Han Xin's hand: "Eat more."

"promise……"

Han Xin grabbed a roasted lamb leg and put it in his mouth.

"Xiang Yu, this roasted lamb is no ordinary roasted lamb. Eating it will make you stronger."

Xiang Yu wasn't interested in the roasted lamb, but he was extremely interested in the wine; he had never tasted such delicious wine before.

Xiang Yu drank four bottles of wine before his face turned red.

"Drink slowly, too much alcohol is bad for your health." Jiang Tian handed over a roasted lamb leg, which Xiang Yu accepted with both hands.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone had enjoyed a meal.

"Han Xin, before you came, Xiang Yu and I were discussing strategies to defeat the enemy."

Han Xin put down the piece of lamb leg bone he was holding: "What worries you, my lord?"

"The Great Xia Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles. Outside the Great Wall, the Liao, Xiongnu, Northern Mang, Northern Liang, Khitan, Xianbei and many other countries were eyeing us covetously."

Domestic displaced people rose up in large numbers, and rebellions continued.

Zhang Shicheng's 200,000-strong army is on its way from Zhengyang.

Beyond the pass, a Liao army of 100,000 men stood watchful outside the formidable Great Wall.

"What is your current official position, my lord, and how many troops do you command?"

"I conquered this county government, but there are no official positions here. My men... two soldiers, one Xiang Yu and the other Dian Wei, both of whom are as brave as ten thousand men."

The cavalry is training, but fewer than two thousand are ready for battle.

Han Xin immediately understood that Jiang Tian's official position was stolen, not conferred by the imperial court.

"My lord, the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty are not of much concern to you."

"My lord, you only need to focus on developing your own strength. When you are strong enough, you can contend for the world. With me, Han Xin, by your side, you will surely be able to achieve your goal of becoming king."
