"This time Liu Bang tore up the Treaty of Honggou and counterattacked Xiang Yu, but he will definitely fail. Afterwards, Liu Bang will send someone to agree to General Han's self-proclaimed King of Qi and promise him a fiefdom as long as General Han sends troops to besiege Xiang Yu. If so, General Han will agree to surrender to Xiang Yu and jointly rebel against the King of Han. If not, General Han can take my head." Lin Han said confidently.
Hearing this, Han Xin shook his head and did not agree to Lin Han's bet.
"Due to my merits, the King of Han has appointed me the King of Qi. This is inevitable. If I agree to rebel against Han with just a few words, wouldn't that be unkind and unrighteous?"
"It seems that General Han is going to follow Wen Zhong's path. That's just fate." Lin Han shook his head and smiled.
"Why are you so sure that the King of Han will kill me after he conquers the world?" Han Xin asked.
"Your achievements are so great that they threaten the ruler. You are not a direct descendant of Liu Bang, but you have contributed to the unification of the empire. Now, you have claimed the throne due to your achievements, and Liu Bang can do nothing to you. Isn't he afraid that you will rebel again and seize his empire? Could it be that General Han believes that Liu Bang is a kind person?"
"Xiang Yu is stubborn and self-willed. He can't even tolerate Fan Zeng. He is not a good leader. I once followed Xiang Yu, but he was too arrogant and abandoned me. He thought he was invincible. He is not a good leader." Han Xin shook his head and said.
"After the Overlord destroyed Qin, he divided the world into fiefdoms and kept his word. Although he is stubborn and conceited, he values trust and loyalty. If he changes his stubborn and conceited character one day, would you be willing to follow him?" Lin Han asked.
Han Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Hearing the softness in Han Xin's words, Lin Han knew that he was beginning to be moved, and that was enough.
"General Han, we'll meet again at Gaixia someday. Remember, don't surrender your military power, or I won't be able to save you."
After Lin Han gave some meaningful instructions, his body floated into the air and slowly left.
Looking at Lin Han's flying figure, Han Xin and Kuai Che were both shocked and had to think deeply about what they had just said.
After leaving Linzi, Lin Han went straight to Changyi.
Changyi is where Peng Yue is now. Han Xin destroyed Qi and contained Chu. After hearing that Xiang Yu's troops had retreated, Peng Yue led his troops to attack again and captured Changyi. He is now in Changyi City.
On the way, Lin Han heard news from the front line that King Liu Bang of Han had raised his troops again to pursue Xiang Yu.
Lin Han was not surprised and hurried to Changyi.
Peng Yue can be said to be the most miserable among all the ministers who were purged by Liu Bang.
In order to purge the foreign princes, Han Xin and Peng Yue were the first and most powerful ones. Peng Yue's fate was even worse than Han Xin's. After being killed, he was made into meatballs by Lü Zhi and distributed to the princes.
As for whether he could convince Peng Yue, Lin Han was not very confident.
Because among all the princes, Peng Yue was one of the princes who attacked Xiang Yu the most, and he was also one of the three main forces that besieged Xiang Yu at Gaixia.
Peng Yue attacked the Chu army all year round, cut off the Chu army's food and grass in Liangdi, and sent them to Liu Bang as military rations. He led troops to destroy the Wei State. Peng Yue did not get the position of a prince, but only the prime minister. He had a grudge in his heart, and when he was besieging Xiang Yu, he was initially reluctant to send troops to help. Later, Liu Bang promised him the position of a prince, and then he sent troops to Gaixia to besiege Xiang Yu.
This laid a hidden danger for him to solve in the future. After the world was stabilized, Peng Yue was executed along with his three clans on the charge of treason by Lu Zhi and chopped into meat sauce.
After entering Changyi, Lin Han saw a lot of soldiers and horses.
After finding out where Peng Yue was staying, Lin Han went there on his own.
"I am Han Xin, the envoy of King Qi, and I come to see General Peng."
The same routine was used to inform Peng Yue's guards. In this chaotic world, without an identity, one cannot easily step into this door.
Sure enough, not long after, someone came out and politely welcomed Lin Han in.
When I met Peng Yue in the mansion, I found him to be a bearded man with a rough face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which implied the power of a high position. Although he was born into a bandit family, he still had a bandit-like heroic spirit.
"Is the messenger from the King of Qi here?" Peng Yue asked loudly, "What does Han Xin want from me?"
"Something happened. The King of Qi asked the general whether he wanted to go and besiege Xiang Yu." Lin Han asked.
"Would Han Xin come to me to ask about this?" Peng Yue laughed, then suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Han Xin's envoy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the staff and soldiers present were shocked and drew their swords in alert.
Unexpectedly, he was exposed after just one sentence. Faced with this situation, Lin Han did not panic. He said calmly: "General Peng is indeed a man of great talent. He discovered so quickly that I am not the King of Qi's man. However, I did come here for something."
"What's the matter?" Peng Yue's eyes were cold and he couldn't explain it clearly. He would not let Lin Han leave easily.
"I'm here to rescue General Peng."
Save him?
Peng Yue and many of his staff and generals were all stunned and laughed wildly.
They seemed to have heard the funniest joke of the year.
"Is it funny?" Lin Han asked back.
After he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the place, and they seemed to no longer find it funny.
"General Peng, what do you think of Liu Bang's breaking of the Honggou Peace Treaty?"
"Who are you? Pretending to be the envoy of King Qi is a capital crime. How dare you ask questions to General Peng?" A general under Peng Yue was furious.
"I'm just a nobody. I met General Peng under a false name, but I had no choice. Otherwise, General Peng wouldn't let me in." Lin Han said frankly.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Without sufficient reasons, your head will belong to me." Peng Yue said coldly.
"Liu Bang tore up the Treaty of Honggou and attacked Xiang Yu again. He invited General Peng to go and besiege him. He will definitely promise him a generous reward. After Xiang Yu's death, it will be the end of the general." Lin Han said.
"Do you think Liu Bang will kill me?"
"Not now, but in the future. Does General Peng think that if Liu Bang can tear up the peace treaty with Xiang Yu, he will be willing to share the world with you?" Lin Han asked back.
"Xiang Yu is tyrannical and self-willed. His claim to the throne is misfortune for the people of the world." Peng Yue said, "Do you think such a lowly tactic of sowing discord will work against me?"
