Lin Han and Zhou Yin returned to Jiangdong with the heads of Ying Bu and Liu Jia.
When Xiang Yu saw the heads of Ying Bu and Liu Jia, he was overjoyed.
Looking at Zhou Yin again, he was already kneeling on the ground: "Overlord, I was bewitched by a ghost in the past and betrayed you. I feel guilty for many days. I hope Overlord will forgive me."
"In the past, the King of Japan was stubborn and didn't listen to others, and he also made some mistakes. Now that you have returned and killed Ying Bu and Liu Jia, your merits and demerits offset each other. I say I will pardon you and naturally won't blame you anymore. Get up." Xiang Yu sighed.
In the past, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
The siege of Gaixia completely woke him up. If he wanted to conquer the world, it was useless to rely solely on tyranny, otherwise the people of the world would not submit to him.
"Thank you, Overlord." Zhou Yin was overjoyed and stood up quickly.
Lin Han brought three glasses of wine.
"Overlord, General Zhou, were once comrades who shared life and death together. When they met, they smiled and forgot all grudges. Over a glass of wine, they talked only about the future and not the past."
"good."
Xiang Yu readily agreed and picked up the wine glass.
Seeing Lin Han's expression, Zhou Yin didn't hesitate and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The two men put down their wine glasses and laughed out loud.
Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu and others were delighted to see this. Xiang Yu's change in character was his greatest achievement after the Battle of Gaixia.
With 80,000 troops in Jiujiang and 30,000 remnants they recruited in Jiangdong, they can march west again to attack Guanzhong after the autumn harvest.
…
For ten days, both sides lived in peace and Xiang Yu's military training plan continued to be implemented.
A piece of news was passed to the Chu army camp by a spy.
Han Xin was assassinated and injured.
The news shocked the Chu army.
At such a moment, Han Xin was assassinated?
"Overlord, I need to go to Linzi." Lin Han said, "I'm afraid Han Xin's assassination is related to Liu Bang. Han Xin's affairs are related to the overall situation of the world."
"Go, sir," Xiang Yu agreed without hesitation. "Take my healing elixir with you, and give my regards to the King of Qi. If you can win over the King of Qi, I can share the world with him."
Xiang Yu gave Lin Han the medicine he used to treat his wounds and asked him to take it with him.
At this time, Xiang Yu knew the importance of Han Xin, and Han Xin had nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
Lin Han said goodbye and rode away.
After seven days of non-stop travel, Lin Han arrived outside the Prince of Qi's Mansion in Linzi.
As soon as he dismounted, he was surrounded by guards, who watched him vigilantly. During this period, the number of guards at the Prince of Qi's mansion had increased several times.
"Please inform King Qi that my old friend Lin Han wants to see you." Lin Han said calmly.
Hearing that it was Lin Han, the leading guard did not dare to delay and hurried into the mansion to report.
Soon, the captain of the guards hurried out, waved his hand and asked the guards to step back and welcome Lin Han in.
In the backyard of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, after passing through layers of guards, Lin Han finally saw Han Xin in the house.
But to his surprise, Han Xin was not injured, but Kuai Che was lying on the bed, dying.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Han asked in surprise.
"When an assassin came, Kuai Che blocked the knife for me." Han Xin said.
"assassin?"
Lin Han thought that Liu Bang was probably anxious and had resorted to this desperate measure.
"Before coming here, the Overlord asked me to bring him some medicine for healing. I hope it will be useful. Please ask the doctor to give it to Lord Kuai." Lin Han handed the medicine given by Xiang Yu to Han Xin.
Han Xin did not take the medicine and said calmly, "The assassin was captured. He said that the Overlord sent him to assassinate us."
Lin Han was stunned.
"Could it be that the King of Qi believes that this was truly the work of the Overlord?"
"The facts are not clear, but the assassin said it was the Overlord's order." Han Xin said coldly.
"Will this strategy of sowing discord work?" Lin Han said, "Such a superficial strategy of sowing discord, King Qi, don't you believe it?"
"The assassin has the Overlord's token on him." Han Xin threw down an identity token.
"King Qi, I'm afraid you don't believe this either, so I can enter this room safely. This is such a superficial scheme. The scheme Chen Ping used to plot against Fan Zeng and others is far more superficial, like child's play. If King Qi believes it, I'm afraid it will become a huge joke."
"Obtained through torture." Han Xin said.
"The other party is well prepared and can easily frame someone with a simple interrogation. King Qi, why not have someone treat Lord Kuai's injuries first? I will then interrogate him about the assassin. I guarantee with my life that this matter has nothing to do with the Overlord. Now that Zhou Yin has returned, Ying Bu and Liu Jia have been executed by me, and the situation has reversed, it can only be that Liu Bang is anxious and resorting to this desperate measure.
Although the Overlord is tyrannical, he acts with integrity. He didn't kill Liu Bang at Hongmen, let alone now. Your death would not benefit the Overlord in the slightest, and even 300,000 troops would fall back into the hands of the King of Han. I'm afraid the King of Qi already has the answer in his mind, but he just doesn't want to believe it."
"I must give an explanation, and the people below also need an explanation." Han Xin said.
"Is the assassin still alive?" Lin Han asked.
"Alive, in prison."
"There are two methods, do you use them or not?"
"explain."
…
The assassin, who was still in prison, suddenly heard footsteps. Without even raising his eyes or resisting, he was tied up by the jailer and dragged out of the prison.
Then they were pinned down on a bench, their bodies and hands and feet tied up, and a bucket hung above their heads, through which water dripped.
Water torture!
After everything was done, the jailer ignored him and let the water drops fall on his head without asking him any questions.
"Is this method feasible?" Han Xin looked at the situation in the prison through the window.
"This is torture, even the toughest man will break. I think this man is a dead man. Without using special means, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make him tell the truth." Lin Han said, "Have the jailers alternately add cold and hot water, and serve him well. In a few days, he will have the answer."
