Chapter 30 failed lobbyist
However, as soon as Zhang Liang left, Xiang Yu's lobbyist Wu She arrived behind.Qi was defeated, and the dragon was killed in battle. Xiang Yu was in chaos and panicked. He sent Wu She, a native of Xuyi, to lobby Han Xin to oppose the Han and unite with Chu, and to divide the world into three parts and become the king of Qi.
At this time, Wu She gave full play to his eloquence, and he was not polite after meeting him. He said to Han Xin:
"Liu Bang's first crime is trying to continue the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. The people of the world have suffered from the tyranny of Qin for a long time, so everyone worked together to overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. size, acquired land to match.
"Under such a good political environment, everyone should stop the war, keep their own place, return to their own feudal kingdoms, give up fighting, recuperate, and seek lasting peace and well-being for the people of the world. But what about Hanwang Liu Bang? He moved against the current situation of the world, sharpened his sword, and raised his sword suddenly, which ran counter to the good wishes of the people of the world. He frequently violated other people's sovereignty and plundered other people's fiefdoms to satisfy his own political ambitions.
"Liu Bang's second major crime is that he has no personal reputation and has betrayed King Xiang many times. Liu Bang has fallen into the hands of my lord Xiang Yu many times. Every time he has said good things to King Xiang, such as showing his loyalty to King Xiang Or make an in-depth inspection, saying many times that once he is released by my lord, he will repay his kindness, keep his promise, and stop his rebellious activities against King Xiang. But before the ink on his review book was dry, he started plotting to overthrow him Subversive actions by the Xichu government. His treachery and unreliability is what it is."
After talking about Liu Bang's two major crimes, Wu She made some extensions and inferences about Liu Bang's character and Han Xin's future fate.He said to Han Xin: "General, you have to be careful. Liu San'er is not a good person. He eats people and doesn't spit out his bones. He is duplicity. He is more sinister and terrifying than the wolf grandmother in fairy tales. I will remind you privately that he will not hurt you now." It does not mean that he will not harm you in the future. The reason why you are alive now is definitely not Liu San'er's kindness, but because you still have value to him! In other words, the reason why you are still alive now is completely It’s because my lord Xiang Yu is still alive. If King Xiang is eliminated today, he, Liu San’er, will come to deal with you immediately. Therefore, you can only live if King Xiang is alive. If King Xiang is gone, you will follow in his footsteps. Daddy General, you and King Xiang are really a community of life! I hope you will put your interests and life first."
Seeing that Han Xin hadn't been moved yet, Wu She went further to "enlighten" Han Xin based on the overall situation of the world. Whichever side, the balance of victory will lean towards that side. To put it bluntly, Liu Bang is just using the king now. Once Xiang Yu is defeated, Liu Bang's next target will be you. Please think twice. Old friendship, familiarity with each other, friendship is like fine wine, timeless, why don't you and King Xiang get rid of the past and get back together? If you are willing to abandon Han and unite with Chu, you can be side by side with King Xiang and King Han And three parts of the world are kings? If you give up this opportunity, you must take refuge in the king of Han, attack Chu, and finally be wiped out by the king of Han, I am confused, should a really smart person make such a bad plan?"
Although Wu She understood it with reason and affection, Han Xin declined and said, "I have served the King of Chu for so many years, but I have only become a small doctor, not a man with a halberd. No one listens to my words. There is no one to use tricks, so I left Chu and returned to Han. The king of Han granted me the seal of a general, let me lead tens of thousands of people, undressed me when I was cold, gave me food when I was hungry, and obeyed me , That’s why I have achieved what I am today. The King of Han is so close and trusts me, I will not have good results if I betray him. I will not betray Han until my death, please thank Xiang Yu for my kindness.”
Although Wu She did not complete his mission, after he left, Kuai Tong continued to do Han Xin's ideological work.
