Linzi County, Linzi City.
The city gate is heavily guarded and pedestrians around will be checked.
Lin Han arrived outside the city gate, walked in leisurely, asked for the location, and went to the mansion where Han Xin was staying.
As soon as Lin Han stopped outside the mansion, the guards at the door looked at him warily.
"Please inform General Han that the Overlord's envoy is here to visit." Lin Han said.
Hearing the Overlord's name, the guards dared not delay and immediately entered the palace to pass on the message. Moments later, a middle-aged scholar came out to greet him.
"My name is Kuai Che, and I have come to greet the envoy." The scholar introduced himself and looked at Lin Han: "What is the envoy's name?"
"Lin Han." Lin Han said with a bow.
"Lin Han?"
Kuai Che pondered the name in his mind, but he didn't think of such a person around the Overlord. However, since the other party claimed to be the Overlord's messenger, he must not dare to lie, otherwise he would lose his head.
"The messenger, please come in." Kuai Che led Lin Han into the mansion and asked, "I wonder what the messenger is here for?"
"Of course, I'm here on behalf of the Overlord to recruit General Han." After learning Kuai Che's name, Lin Han did not hesitate to state his purpose: "The outcome of the Chu-Han conflict depends on General Han."
"This..." Kuai Che was greatly surprised.
Lin Han turned a blind eye to his strange behavior, thinking that as a counselor beside Han Xin, Kuai Che was an independent person who urged Han Xin to establish himself as king, and did not side with either Xiang Yu or Liu Bang.
"Does Lord Kuai have anything to say?" Lin Han asked.
"No." Kuai Che shook his head.
"Master Kuai, do you think General Han will help Liu Bang or Overlord?" Lin Han asked casually.
"I don't know."
"Lord Kuai, the Chu-Han contention was a battle for the destiny of China. General Han will have a future only if he chooses the right side." Lin Han said.
"This matter should be discussed personally by the envoy and General Han," Kuai Che said cautiously.
When Lin Han entered, Han Xin was in the courtyard of the mansion, holding a bamboo slip of military book in his hand, reading it attentively.
Only when Lin Han arrived did Han Xin put down the military book and look at him.
In Han Xin's eyes, Lin Han saw wisdom and depth, the temperament of a gentleman, and friendliness amidst majesty.
"Lin Han, nice to meet General Han." Lin Han said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The envoy comes on behalf of the Overlord. What's the matter?" Han Xin asked.
"Naturally, I want to recruit General Han to come to Chu and help the Overlord pacify Liu Bang."
After the words were spoken, the atmosphere became subtle.
Han Xin looked at Lin Han deeply, then suddenly became serious and said, "You are not the Overlord's envoy."
Lin Han was stunned and started laughing.
"General Han, you have a keen eye. I'm not the Overlord's messenger. How did you tell?"
Kuai Che's expression changed with shock, and Han Xin stopped him before he could call for guards.
"Xiang Yu is a proud man. When I surrendered to him, he paid me no attention and made no use of me. Since I have defeated the State of Chu, it is impossible for him to send an envoy to ask me to help him." Han Xin explained the reason and said, "Your Excellency has come here pretending to be the Overlord's envoy. You must have some ulterior motive. Please speak frankly."
"I came here to save you."
"Save me?"
Not only was Han Xin surprised, but even Kuai Che next to him was shocked when he heard the answer.
Han Xin is now very popular and has the power to influence the world situation, but Lin Han said in front of Han Xin that he wanted to save him.
madman?
But looking at Lin Han's appearance, he is not a madman.
There are only a handful of people in the world with such temperament, and they are all outstanding people in high positions.
"What do you mean?" Han Xin asked.
"Did King Liu Bang of Han send anyone to contact the general to jointly attack Xiang Yu?" Lin Han asked back.
Han Xin looked at Kuai Che, who shook his head, indicating that he had never mentioned this.
Liu Bang sent someone to contact him to jointly attack Xiang Yu. Few people knew about this, but Lin Han knew it, so the two had to be vigilant.
"Liu Bang wants to break the Treaty of Honggou and attack Xiang Yu in the near future. When the time comes, how will General Han stand?" Lin Han asked.
"How do you know this? How can you save me?" Han Xin asked.
"General Han's stance is related to life, even the lives of your people," said Lin Han.
"What do you mean?" Han Xin asked coldly.
"Stand on Liu Bang's side. After Liu Bang rules the world, General Han will be the first person Liu Bang kills. Even General Han's clansmen will suffer, and their entire clan will be exterminated." Lin Han said calmly.
Kuai Che's expression changed drastically, but Han Xin remained unmoved.
"Why should I trust you?"
"General, do you want Liu Bang to recognize your title as King of Qi?" Lin Han asked.
After these words were spoken, Han Xin and Kuai Che were shocked.
Even fewer people knew about this, but Lin Han knew it.
"So what?" Han Xin asked.
"General Han is not a direct descendant of Liu Bang. He led the army to attack Qi, but now he wants to be king and equal to him. General, do you think Liu Bang is not shy about it at all? Or does he not care at all?"
"Do you want to sow discord between me and the King of Han?" Han Xin asked unkindly.
"General Han, have you ever heard of the story of Fan Li and Wen Zhong?"
When Han Xin heard this, his pupils shrank. Kuai Che next to him was shocked and confused, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The subtle changes in their expressions did not escape Lin Han's eyes.
“When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked.”
Lin Han was indifferent. In his opinion, this matter had nothing to do with him. He was just an outsider.
"General Han, how do you think Liu Bang compares to the King of Yue? General Han pacified Qi and contained Chu, his achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor, and he now holds great power. Liu Bang rose from humble beginnings, and Xiang Yu spared his life and let him escape many times, but now he wants to renege on his promise and break the peace treaty. General Han, you are not one of Liu Bang's direct subordinates. Do you think Liu Bang would let you hold military power?"
After that, Han Xin remained silent.
Kuai Che next to him was a little anxious. Seeing that Han Xin didn't say anything for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak.
