"Why doesn't the military advisor dare to swear in the name of Huang Shigong?" Lin Han pressed again.
"Master, you are a Taoist practitioner. You don't care about worldly affairs and don't speculate on cause and effect. Why do you offend me?" Zhang Liang asked in return.
Seeing that Zhang Liang avoided the topic again, Lin Han did not pursue the matter.
"Liu Bang was furious because the King of Qi had claimed the title of King due to his merits. It was only after the military advisor's kind words of persuasion that Liu Bang was able to be patient and acknowledge the title of King of Qi, so that he could use the King of Qi's commanding ability to break Xiang Yu's army.
The military advisor had originally planned that Liu Bang would decline the reward and retire to the mountains after unifying the country. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was not killed in the Battle of Gaixia, so this plan could not be carried out.
Having been with Liu Bang for too long, the military advisor should have seen through him. King Liu Bang of Han is a philistine and mean-spirited person, and his wife, Lü Zhi, is even more ruthless. Yet, he now wants to persuade the King of Qi to return. Why is the military advisor studying the books of sages like this?
Zhang Liang was shocked both physically and mentally.
He finally realized how terrifying Lin Han was. It was their first meeting, and every word he said hit home.
No wonder the Chu army soldiers who surrendered at Gaixia were so flattering to Lin Han, and no wonder Xiang Yu survived the ambush and the situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
It turned out that there was an expert helping him.
He had no way of refutation of Lin Han's words.
"Your Majesty has one or two shortcomings, but he knows how to use people well. He is not the villain you are calling him," Zhang Liang argued.
In response to his explanation, Lin Han smiled calmly and said, "Liu Bang has taken away the military power of the King of Qi more than once. Originally, after the Battle of Gaixia, Liu Bang was afraid and should have taken away the military power of the King of Qi again. Unfortunately, the King of Qi led his troops away."
"That's just your conjecture."
Zhang Liang remained calm and looked at Han Xin.
"King of Qi, the king treats you like a confidant. The lands of Qi and Chu will become your fiefdom after Xiang Yu's death. Are you listening to the one-sided words of those around Xiang Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xin, who had been watching the two men arguing, drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"I believe it."
Han Xin's firm words made Zhang Liang pause and he was in disbelief.
"Why?"
"Because of this." Han Xin took out the brocade bag from his arms and threw it to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang was stunned when he saw the book in the brocade bag.
"This happened before, what's the explanation?"
"This brocade bag was given to me by the master before the siege of Gaixia. He made a bet with me that I should open it after Xiang Yu escaped. He gave it to me because he was afraid I wouldn't believe him."
"impossible."
Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed, as if he had heard something incredible.
"It's precisely because it's impossible that I believe him. Since the brocade bag came into my hands, no one else has touched it. The ambush from ten sides was my plan to encircle and kill Xiang Yu, and the siege from all sides was a plan you and I agreed on. Not to mention the Battle of Dongcheng and the incident at Wujiang. Sir, you have the ability to understand the secrets of heaven, so why shouldn't I believe you?"
After listening to Han Xin's description, Zhang Liang was sure that he was not lying.
"Sir, did you use a trick to switch the brocade bag?" Zhang Liang asked.
"When the King of Qi opened the brocade bag, I had just rescued the Overlord and fled to Jiangdong. How could I have used a clone to replace the brocade bag?
"The military advisor probably has his own plan in mind. He knows whether it's true or not, so why ask me? Thousands of miles away, I switched the brocade bag with the King of Qi. I don't think I have the ability of an immortal."
Zhang Liang was silent.
This matter is mysterious. If it happens to him, you have to believe it.
It is impossible for someone to replace the brocade bag with Han Xin without anyone noticing.
"King Qi, can you let Lin Han and I discuss this alone?"
"good."
Han Xin did not stop them. He waved his hand and left with Kuai Che.
Lin Han refuted Zhang Liang, making him even more certain that Liu Bang had ulterior motives towards him.
Only Lin Han and Zhang Liang were left in the tent.
