As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Han Xin said without hesitation: "I won't wait for 'then'. Please come with me immediately, sir."

After all, he had forgotten about him several times: Zhang Liang's previous reluctance to surrender to Chu could still be explained, but now he had made it clear that he was willing to submit, and it would be too rude to forget about him in prison again.

Zhang Liang also had this hidden worry, and seeing Han Xin's determination, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said happily, "Thank you, General."

Han Xin shook his head and said no more. He ordered the jailer to open the lock and politely invited Zhang Liang to come out. Then he seemed to remember that there was still someone in the prison.

Then he looked at Sui He, who looked torn, not knowing whether to continue to put on airs or to follow the will of heaven like Zhang Liang and surrender to the State of Chu, and said calmly, "What about you?"

Sui He struggled constantly, but finally gritted his teeth, willingly bowed and saluted, saying: "... If you don't mind, I am willing to serve the Emperor of Chu like a dog or a horse. Please introduce me to the general."

He knew very well that Han Xin came to the prison many times in person to persuade Zhang Liang, a fellow Han Chinese with whom he had once met.

He was angry and said something rude last time, and he was lucky that he was not hated or humiliated by others. How could he dare to hope that after Zhang Liang left, someone would come to the prison to question him

Moreover, without Zhang Liang, the only person he could talk to, even if he still had food and water and books to read in prison, he would probably go crazy sooner or later due to not seeing the sun all day.

However, Han Xin could even look past the insult from Zhen Er who humiliated him in the past, so how could he take the verbal dispute that day to heart

Having solved two problems at once, he was in a good mood, but he didn't show it on his face.

He just nodded calmly and ordered his men to release Sui He as well.

When meeting the king, one should first bathe and change clothes.

However, just as Han Xin was about to lead his men to his own residence, before he left the palace, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure riding a snow-white tall horse not far ahead: "Brother?"

Lü Bu, who had been kept in the palace by the foolish emperor for most of the night under the pretext of discussing military strategy, and who finally found an excuse to escape at dawn, was caught off guard by his cheap brother's shout. He was so startled that he jumped on his horse and turned his head abruptly, "Brother Han?"

He had excellent eyesight and could easily recognize the two people following Han Xin even from a distance.

He was full of confusion. When he rode up to them, a hawk jumped off his horse and stared at Zhang Liang and Sui He with sharp eyes. He blurted out, "The guards of the prison were evacuated here. Even they almost escaped?"

Han Xin shook his head in amusement: "Not really."

Then he told my dear brother in detail how he had visited the prison three times and successfully persuaded the two men to surrender.

Lu Bu's brows were tightly furrowed, and his pair of sharp tiger eyes kept looking at the two of them, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Liang was open-minded and smiled generously. He let the man stare at him while he looked back calmly.

He was extremely intelligent and knew that the reason why Xiang Yu was able to turn the situation around was most likely closely related to the man in front of him.

Except for the day when Zhou Yin was defeated and Sui He was caught red-handed by this god of death who personally led his troops into his official residence, Sui He had never had any dealings with Lu Bu.

Now that he was being stared at with a pair of murderous eyes with ill intent, even though he had no ill intentions, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt goosebumps all over his body. He almost couldn't resist the urge to take a few steps back.

Little did he know that this imposing General Lu was just leisurely admiring his past achievements.

I caught this one with my own hands, and I also held that one down with my own hands!

It’s a pity that my efforts to prevent disasters before they happen have not achieved any significant results.

Except for Sima Qian, no one knows how many great things Laozi has done!

When Lu Bu was satisfied, he looked away and looked at Han Xin, saying with concern: "Since I have nothing to do, I am willing to accompany you on this journey."

How could he care whether that fool would make good use of these two former Han army stalwarts

It was purely to prevent that fool from letting the cat out of the bag and letting the suspicious old brother notice the clues and cause trouble for him at this critical juncture.

Even though Han Xin was in a hurry, how could he know his brother's little thoughts

Although he is not good at planning for himself, he is definitely not ignorant of "avoiding suspicion".

It would certainly be beneficial and not harmful if I could have my most trusted brother by your Majesty's side to help me.

Han Xin thought for a moment and decided to accept the offer: "That's fine. Please, my dear brother, accompany me on this journey."

Lu Bu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded casually, holding the jade lion in one hand and casually resting the other hand on the sword at his waist. While chatting with Han Xin, he returned to the Fengxian Hall where Xiang Yu lived.

When Xiang Yu, who was resting his eyes in the bath, suddenly learned that his love was coming back, he stood up without hesitation.

He thought the palace servants were too slow in dressing him, so he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He just hastily put on an outer coat over his inner clothes and strode towards the hall.

So the group had just been led to the hall and had not even had time to sit down at their seats when they heard a heavy and powerful sound of footsteps approaching.

Everyone seemed to sense something, and except for Lu Bu who was still lazy, they all stood up and saluted.

As expected, the next moment, the person who appeared was the Emperor of Chu, with wet hair casually draped, bare feet, only an inner garment on his tall body, and an outer robe decorated with golden dragon patterns.

Everyone bowed to the ground, except Lu Bu, who looked shocked and stared at Xiang Yu who looked a little confused.

-No one dared to urge the current emperor to come out to meet foreign officials in such a disheveled state!

Lu Bu saw this and for some reason he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.

Xiang Yu thought that only his beloved general had returned for some matters, but he missed the other three people mentioned in the palace servant's words. Although he was shocked in his heart, his face remained calm and he still looked dignified.

"Get up."

Xiang Yu and Lu Bu looked at each other, then sat down in the main seat and gave orders in a light tone.

Everyone then stood up, and when they looked up and saw the majestic Emperor of Chu, whose clothes were disheveled and his hair was wet, they couldn't help feeling at a loss.

If the monarch is disrespectful and disrespectful, what should the ministers do

Seeing this awkward situation, Lu Bu had no choice but to suppress the inexplicable unhappiness that had just come to him and try his best to think.

—It’s all this fool’s fault for being so careless in doing his job and focusing all his attention on studying those ridiculous love poems!

After cursing this fool dozens of times in his heart, Lu Bu suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind.

Got it!

He has always been quick-witted and would often do something when he felt like doing it, so he just took advantage of the situation and did it.

He first raised his hand to pretend to wipe his tears, then sighed in front of everyone: "When I was fighting outside, I heard people say that Your Majesty is wise and kind to scholars. I was afraid of losing talented people in the world, so I held my hair three times after washing, spit out food three times after eating, and welcomed you with my shoes turned upside down... I can serve such a wise ruler, what else can I ask for!"

As for where he heard this, Lu Bu had already forgotten it.

Xiang Yu had an indifferent look on his face, but his eyes were filled with confusion.

Where are the talented people

When did he act like this for a 'talent'

Xiang Yu lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly calm, but in fact he was at a loss as he looked at his beloved who was crying and sobbing, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Hearing this, Han Xin suddenly understood.

Facing the King of Chu, who did not show his true colors but was actually taking practical actions and was eager to recruit talents, he was both impressed and deeply respected.

He had never been good at flattery and usually showed off his abilities in front of his superiors, but at this moment he bowed down with a sincere heart and praised the silent Xiang Yu endlessly.

Even Zhang Liang, who had experienced many ups and downs but had a calm mind, and Sui He, who was worried and didn't know what his future would bring, were moved by the Emperor of Chu's earnest attitude in seeking talents.

The original eight points were forced and in compliance with fate, but five points were quietly transformed into willingness.

Lu Bu howled symbolically for a while, but when he saw that he had successfully fooled everyone, he quietly stopped.

—Ha, I’m really smart!

Lu Bu thought proudly, how many people in the world can find such quick witted people who can help fools out of situations anytime and anywhere

Taking advantage of others' unpreparedness, Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, raised his chin complacently, raised his eyebrows at the stunned Xiang Hanzi, and raised the corners of his mouth high.

Xiang Yu was aroused by this and was thinking about what to say.

Han Xin's face was already serious, and he made his intention clear.

After learning that Zhang Liang and Sui He were willing to surrender, Xiang Yu nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. He just said: "Han County is still short of a governor. If your father-in-law has not made any arrangements for the time being, you can take over this position. What do you think?"

Although there is no South Korea anymore, there is Han County.

After hearing these words, Zhang Liang felt relieved.

He knew very well that even if Xiang Yu dared to use him, there was no way he would abandon his confidant and employ an enemy surrender, not to mention the fact that there was also the grudge that Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo had been tricked and allowed Xiang Yu to escape from prison.

Xiang Yu, who always valued his relatives and held grudges, was willing to let him return to his hometown to report on his work, which was an extra favor.

He bowed deeply, his cold forehead pressed against the soft felt blanket, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty... I am willing to go."

Xiang Yu nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Sui He who looked nervous, and said in a deep voice: "Yafu is short of manpower, after noon, you can go to his house and ask."

Fan Zeng always wanted to recruit as many useful people as possible who came to him.

Sui He never expected that Xiang Yu, who was known for his cruelty, would be so magnanimous and willing to put aside past grudges and employ him.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, then bowed hastily to express his gratitude.

Xiang Yu said absentmindedly, "Everyone leave... Fengxian stays."

Everyone had no suspicion and immediately left the hall, leaving only Lu Bu behind.

As soon as the person left, Lu Bu, who had just been sitting lazily and leaning back, acting non-threatening, suddenly changed his demeanor.

He stood up suddenly, staring at his long wet hair, letting the water drip down, soaking most of his upper body.

But after Xiang Yu took the initiative to keep him, he just stared at him without saying a word, without moving for a long time.

Lu Bu frowned again and again, unable to bear it any longer, and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know how severe it is when the heat of July hits your body!"

Xiang Yu seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing this, he asked without thinking, "How is it so powerful?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.

Xiang Yu was not on guard against Lu Bu. Although he caught a glimpse of the black shadow out of the corner of his eye, he did not try to avoid it and let it hit him directly.

It turned out that Lu Bu had taken off his outer robe, threw it over with a sullen look, and walked out of the hall without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "Hurry up and wipe it dry, or you will miss the opportunity to send troops!"

After saying this, he ran away, leaving Xiang Yu in the hall.

Xiang Yu silently took off the outer garment and held it tightly in his hand. He then stared at the back of his beloved general who was running away quickly, as if thinking about something.
