Chapter 440: Stepping into the Tiger's Mouth

Under such a background, I don’t know what Han Xin said to Yang Zi, so I actually let Yang Zi enter Xianyang Palace in person and expressed support for Han Xin’s visit to the Huns for negotiations in front of Ying Gao.

It is unknown how Han Xin's trick turned into Ying Gao, but he could still see that his sister really wanted Han Xin to go to the Huns from the bottom of her heart, and even expressed intentionally or unintentionally that she wanted to go with Han Xin. Ying Gao was so scared that he quickly agreed to her request and put Yang Zi back.

Seeing Yang Zi leaving with victory, Ying Gao couldn't help but secretly guessing that Han Xin, a guy, didn't expect that he was still very good at dealing with women...

But no matter how joking is, Ying Gao is most concerned about the Huns that Han Xin went to. Because he had already made an agreement with Xiang Yu, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Xiang Yu also agreed to Han Xin's departure, so this matter must not be delayed for long. Han Xin will set off within one or two days.

So on the night when they received Xiang Yu's reply, Ying Gao summoned Han Xin to Xianyang Palace. This time, the two of them stayed in Ying Gao's hall for more than an hour. It was not until the night was getting late that Han Xin returned to his mansion from Xianyang Palace with a serious expression.

"Brother, what changes have happened?"

Seeing Han Xin returning to the mansion, there was no relaxed expression on his face. Yang Zi, who had been waiting in the mansion, felt nervous and hurried forward and asked.

The reason why Yang Zi was able to go to Xianyang Palace to find Ying Gao in person and express his agreement with Han Xin to negotiate with Xiang Yu was because Han Xin once said to Yang Zi with a rare serious expression that he went to the Huns this time, but in fact, he could reduce the number of casualties of the people of the Qin and the Huns by hundreds of thousands. Moreover, Han Xin also stated that the level of being a general is not that it depends on how many enemy troops you have killed, but how many people you can save through war.

It was Han Xin's feelings that moved Yang Zi, which made her grit her teeth and forget that Han Xin might have suffered a crisis in the Huns, and that Han Xin must have the ability to turn danger into a bargain. Then she went to Xianyang Palace to express her position to support Han Xin to Ying Gao.

But after she expressed her position and returned to her mansion, Yang Zi almost immediately became timid. Of course, she knew what kind of virtue the Huns were, so she felt extremely nervous after a little disturbance.

"Nothing has happened. Xiang Yu's reply has arrived in Xianyang City. I am afraid that the Xiongnu will set off to go tomorrow. Mrs. Don't be anxious. The current Xiongnu is not the previous Xiongnu. The Shanyu position is Xiang Yu from the Central Plains. When I was in Jiangdong, Xiang Yu and I had a fate with Xiang Yu. In addition, my Qin Dynasty is far above the Xiongnu. Xiang Yu will definitely not let the Xiongnu, whom he had just established painstakingly, fall into a dire situation because he wanted to kill me. Therefore, I will return to Xianyang safely!"

Of course, Han Xin showed full confidence in front of Yang Zi, but obviously Han Xin had told Yang Zi more than once before, so this time Yang Zi still looked worried after listening to him and did not play any role.

"Madam, since the Lord became the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, you have known everything he has done, but when have you ever seen the Lord suffer great losses in what he has suffered?"

Seeing that Yang Zi showed no sign of improvement, Han Xin turned his eyes and thought about it and asked this question.

Yang Zi looked at Han Xin, then thought about it very seriously for a while, and then his eyes lit up. Obviously, he had never discovered that his brother had done anything to make him or make Daqin suffer after becoming the crown prince.

Even when the anti-Qin forces were so rampant before, his brother had never suffered any losses when he took the soldiers to fight, and he did not let the generals under his command die on the battlefield, even if it was only one. This was not Han Xin who was fooling her.

"So, is it because your brother has any secret advice?"

When Yang Zi heard Han Xin's previous words, an inexplicable confidence surged in his heart. This confidence not only came from his husband Han Xin, but also from his brother who had never known when he would be like a god's help in the next life.

"I can't mention this to you, but I don't know whether it's successful or not when I go to the Huns, but I won't be in any danger."

Such authentic words made Yang Zi feel relieved a lot. She decided not to add pressure to Han Xin's disciples, but went to the inner room alone to pack Han Xin's bags for this time. Yang Zi knew that since she was going to negotiate, she would definitely not be able to wear armor, so she had to make her husband unable to fall into the prestige of the Great Qin in terms of image...

That night, obviously, no matter what the situation is, it was a sleepless night for Han Xin and Yang Zi. So the next morning, although Han Xin was also cheering up, a discerning person could tell at a glance that this guy probably didn't sleep much last night.

Ying Gao also took great pains to go to the Huns this time. He knew that since you took the initiative to negotiate with Xiang Yu, you must not have to take a large brigade of guards to go there. This is a way to express hostility to Xiang Yu. Ying Gao and Han Xin will definitely not make this mistake.

But if Han Xin goes alone, Ying Gao is really unsure. After all, the tribes of all sizes of the Huns are crisscrossed. Even if Xiang Yu doesn't want to kill you in the Huns royal court, it would be enough if a tribe who hates the Qin people so much wants to ambush you after the news leaks.

So after Ying Gao weighed the matter, he borrowed ten most powerful guys from the imperial guards of Xianyang Palace, with only more than 200 people, and gave them a death order. Even if all ten of them could not come back, Han Xin had to be protected to Shangjun intact.

Finally, after Ying Gao personally sent them to the gate of Xianyang City, Han Xin and his eleven people rode their horses to Shangjun. After resting in Shangjun, they would go directly to the royal court of the Huns.

A few days later, in the Xiongnu royal court, Xiang Yu received news that a tribe he deliberately arranged was not far from Shangjun. A group of dozens of people rode out of the Great Wall Pass of Shangjun and rushed to the direction of the Xiongnu royal court. They could reach the Xiongnu royal court within two days.

"It seems that after my letter arrived in Xianyang City, Han Xin set out from Xianyang City, otherwise he would not have arrived in Shangjun so quickly. It seems that this time, Daqin was indeed a little sincere..."

In front of his confidants, Xiang Yu expressed his interpretation of the news.

"Your Majesty, Han Xin is a very important general in the Qin Dynasty. I heard that there is a vague possibility of replacing Meng Tian's brother Meng Yi becoming the next Grand Marshal of the Qin Dynasty. If we kill him in the territory of the Huns, then it is said that the tribes secretly killed him..."

In this case, Long Qi, who had almost never had a good impression of Daqin, had already said it once when he first learned about this. Now Han Xin has really come, and he couldn't help but say it again. Obviously, he really thought it was an excellent opportunity to kill Han Xin.

"If you make this statement again, there will be no place for you to stay in the Huns' court!"

Long Qi never expected that he thought this was a pretty good proposal, but he caused Xiang Yu to say this. However, Xiang Yu was like a god in his heart. He absolutely did not believe that if anyone else had to do this, he could do this with ten thousand defeated soldiers alone.

Although Xiang Yu, the Xiongnu Khan, seemed a little bad to the people of the Central Plains, to mention anything else, Xiang Yu's core confidant is still the people of the Central Plains he brought to him. However, even so, the leader of each Xiongnu tribe is still subdued Xiang Yu. This is amazing in Long Qi and they cannot admire him.

After being scolded by Xiang Yu, Long Qi immediately did not dare to speak out. Since Zhang Liang left and the news of his death came from Xianyang City, less than a year later, Fan Zeng was buried in peace, Xiang Yu's words became less than before. Except for Yu Ji, it was rare to see Xiang Yu's smile.

In the eyes of the generals under their command, this manifestation is more like a king. Although they still can't change their words and often call Xiang Yu a major general, in their hearts, the word "小" has long been removed by them.

After scolding Long Qi, no one dared to say anything anymore. At this time, Xiang Yu called out Yu Ziqi, who was usually quite steady, and took him with a team of men to take Han Xin to the Xiongnu royal court.

This is obviously considered to be Xiang Yu expressing his kindness to Han Xin. Xiang Yu was still very curious about Han Xin. He wanted to see how the young man who followed him every day and said something that seemed like a fantasy in his mouth.

In Xiang Yu's opinion, his mistakes in Han Xin were one of the biggest mistakes he had done over the years. He could not imagine what would happen if he had been so brave at the beginning, believed Han Xin's words, and then did as he said, but obviously, nothing would have happened now.

Although Han Xin is just a general in the Xianyang Palace court, Xiang Yu certainly knows his age and his potential. When Xiang Yu looked back on the past, he secretly thought that the most powerful figures that emerged in this era were probably Ying Gao, Han Xin and himself.

He is of the same age and has his own strengths, but obviously Ying Gao has a better foundation. Although he has no force, he must be better than him and Han Xin in terms of intelligence. He lost to Ying Gao several times, but he did not feel wronged, but he felt that he was born at the wrong time.

Around noon the next day, Yu Ziqi took Han Xin to the royal court of the Huns. What Han Xin saw was a cavalry with not many people, but with distinct armor, sharp weapons, and strong mounts. This was no longer the same concept as the Hun cavalry that Han Xin had remembered before.

Their armor has been strengthened many times, and their weapons are no longer shoddy objects of the Huns before. What surprised Han Xin even more was that stirrups, which were almost exactly the same as their cavalry, had appeared on the feet of every Hun cavalry he saw.

If you don’t have any unexpected tactics when fighting with such a cavalry, you can almost be the result of life-for-life exchange and both sides suffer losses.

This is the conclusion that Han Xin came to after walking around the Huns' court. He had not seen Xiang Yu, let alone what Ying Gao asked him to say. However, when Han Xin came to this, he felt that his trip to the Huns would definitely be very worth it. Of course, it must be when he could go back safely.

"General, Shanyu prepared a banquet for the general in the tent. I want to work hard all the way, so please take a shower and come and enjoy it."

Yu Ziqi pointed to a large tent in front of him, obviously it was for rest preparation for Han Xin, and then pointed to a tent that was much taller than other large tents. Obviously, it was very likely that Xiang Yu held a court similar to the Qin Dynasty on weekdays.

At least so far, Han Xin has not found that Xiang Yu has a tendency to be unfavorable to him. He believes that with Xiang Yu's temperament, if he wants his own life, he would not have taken such a lot of effort. He probably would have given him the result halfway.

So Han Xin shook his head and tried not to think about this. He walked into the big tent set up by Xiang Yu for himself, took a comfortable bath with the warm water that had been prepared in the tent, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the big tent according to the time Yu Ziqi said.

On the way, Han Xin and Yu Ziqi got along well. He learned that Yu Ziqi was originally a nobleman in Dang County, but his sister had arrived at Xiang Yu. Through indirect inquiries, Han Xin learned a detail about Xiang Yu, that is, Xiang Yu attaches great importance to Yu Ziqi's sister, and Xiang Yu's only wife, Yu Ji.

Ying Gao valued his wife so much. All the officials in the Qin Dynasty knew about it. However, even under such circumstances, Ying Gao still married another wife under pressure. As for Xiang Yu, although the territory of the Huns was full of foreign beautiful girls who had a fatal attraction to the people of the Central Plains, Xiang Yu still had only one wife, Yu Ji.

What does this mean? Is this woman because Xiang Yu is reluctant to go to war with the Qin Dynasty? These possibilities have all appeared in Han Xin's head, and he is also preparing to learn as much information as possible during this meeting with Xiang Yu.
