Chapter 239 I Believe In You
Before this, no one had heard Wang Buxu talk about anything about being crowned king.
Even to the King of Qi, the promise was only to be granted the title of Marquis of Qi.
Even the King of Qi, who surrendered with a country and dozens of cities, was only given a marquis.
So might someone else get the throne?
As for the matter of conferring a king, there are also different opinions now, and everyone has their own different opinions.
Some people think that after hundreds of years of war during the Warring States Period, one should not be crowned king.
Qin Shihuang considered the problem from this perspective.
Some people think that if you don't make the king, the world will be unsafe, so you should make the king.
You can consider setting a condition, but it must not be blocked.
These people have been busy and running, but their arms can't hold their thighs. Qin Shihuang said no, that's no.
Wang Buxu had previously publicly stated that the Han Dynasty would follow the Qin system, so everyone gave up the idea of being crowned king.
But no one thought that the fact that the king was not hungry did not mean that he would not be crowned king, but that he would not be crowned king in Zhuxia.
Maybe some people will feel depressed after hearing this. If we don't appoint kings in all Xia, then why do these kings still have to do it?
But Xiao He saw Wang Buxu's far-reaching strategic vision.
It is feasible to make kings in lands other than Zhuxia, provided that you conquer these lands.
This may not be something that can be solved in three to five years, but it is a good way to divert internal conflicts.
Any rational person should be able to see the wisdom of the King of Han.
Seeing the scene of Xiao He surrendering, Wang Buxian felt really happy deep in his heart.
Some famous historical ministers are not just names, but they have real facts.
As time goes by, with more and more powerful generals and famous ministers under his command, Wang Buxu now really has the capital to expand.
Looking at Xiao He, he said arrogantly: "In order to fight against the outside world, we must first stabilize the inside. We, the monarchs and ministers, will work together and work hard to unify all the summers before the autumn harvest next year and stabilize the inside as soon as possible!"
"I will do my best..." Xiao He stated his position repeatedly.
The situation now is more obvious. First of all, the Han army is strong enough, the Han country is strong enough, and the Han country and the Han army can fight this battle.
Whether it is a quick offensive and defensive battle or a slow and slow battle of attrition.
Even Han could afford to fight, but Chu couldn't afford to fight at all.
The King of Han was very shrewd, and he still had many years to go before becoming stupid.
The Han army was very powerful, and batch after batch of outstanding generals rose from the ground and emerged from their cocoons.
On the contrary, if the Chu army did not make progress, it would be regressing.
It can even be predicted that as time goes by, the gap between Han and Chu will become wider and wider.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go and convince Liu Ji. If I can get Liu Ji, the Chu army will be in chaos." Xiao He continued to ask for orders.
"No, now is not the time!" Wang Buxu shook his head and rejected Xiao He.
"No!" Xiao He was speechless, but he could only accept it.
Wang Buxian's answer was very sophisticated, which made Xiao He very confused.
The previous rejection could be seen as distrust, but the current rejection made him feel that it was really not the right time.
What is the point of trying to persuade people to surrender at this time?
If it fails, it will arouse the Chu army's vigilance.
If we wait until the Han army completes the encirclement before trying to persuade them to surrender, the probability of success will be very high, and even if they fail, it will be okay, because the Chu army cannot escape.
The monarch and his ministers looked at Suiyang City in the distance with different thoughts. The flag of the Han army had been hung on the city.
A large number of figures could be vaguely seen running.
But the fighting in the city was actually not intense.
The city walls were lost and the city gates were lost.
The Han army, which had changed its strategic purpose, would naturally not worry about anything else at this time.
Guan Ying directly mobilized 50,000 main troops, entered Suiyang from the four city gates, and then cleared out the remaining enemy troops along the way.
There is almost no real fighting.
The Chu army is not a fool, even if these are the elite of the Chu army.
Now that Suiyang has clearly been defeated, what's the point of their stubborn resistance?
Who will come to rescue them? If they can delay the Han army for a day or two, what's the use?
Can the Chu army turn defeat into victory?
When everything is impossible, what's the point of what they do except losing their lives?
When he stood at the foot of Suiyang City again, Guan Ying felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
"Two years ago, you left this city gate and now you are standing here again. How do you feel?" Wang Buxu asked lightly, standing behind Guan Ying.
"Your Majesty, I have lost my composure..." Guan Ying quickly saluted.
"It doesn't matter, a good man should have feelings. If he doesn't have any feelings, he won't dare to reuse him!" Wang Buxu smiled slightly.
Suiyang is a large city and the seat of the county seat of Dang County. It is the city with the most developed economy, population and culture in the entire Dang County.
Guan Ying was doing business here back then, and of course, he himself was from Suiyang.
This time it was a return to his hometown in glory. When he left, he was just a small businessman that no one looked down upon.
Two years later, he became a general of the Han army commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.
Guan Ying worked very hard, but the time was too short, so all things considered, it was because he met the right person that he was able to achieve what he has today.
"Your Majesty, I...I don't dare to go in..." Guan Ying looked at Wang Buhung with a troubled expression.
Although the city was completely controlled by the Han army, Guan Ying still did not dare to enter.
"What? Are you worried about your family?" Wang Buxian looked at Guan Ying.
"Yes, I was not worried about the war with Qin before, but when we start a war with Chu, I..." Guan Ying couldn't continue. He was worried that after entering the city, he would see his empty home and the missing people.
family.
"Go in! Your family is waiting for you at home! Meet them and have a chat. When the army sets out again, let Xiao Xiang arrange for someone to send them to Luoyang Mansion." Wang Buxu said slightly.
He smiled and said to Guan Ying.
"No!" When he heard that his family was fine, the gloom on Guan Ying's face instantly dissipated, but now he was not in a hurry to go home.
As long as he knows that he is safe, he has just captured Suiyang and there are still many things for him to deal with. He can just go home at night.
Xiao He, who had been standing by the side, suddenly became wet with cold sweat after hearing Wang Buxu's words of comfort.
Even Guan Ying, a general of the Han Dynasty, did not know the safety of his relatives, but the King of Han who had never been to Suiyang knew that Guan Ying's family was waiting for him at home.
Is this just an advantage of intelligence?
of course not.
Xiao He understood very well that the King of Han secretly 'protected' Guan Ying's family, so he knew very well that Guan Ying's family was safe.
But this protection for him also has another meaning...
Wang Buxian didn't know what Xiao He was thinking. He looked at Guan Ying's happy back and said with a smile: "Thankfully I made arrangements this time. Otherwise, Guan Ying would probably go to the city crying now..."
