Chapter 922 The Real King

"An alliance of nations?"

Xiao He couldn't help but smile at this time and said,

"Although these city-states are small and have few people, their tone is great."

The entire territory in the northwest is actually very large, but the population of the city-state is not large. I don't know if the total number of these people exceeds one million.

Not even a fraction of Da Qin's.

They actually dare to call themselves an alliance of nations.

Han Xin also said with some regret at this time,

"Yes, there are indeed fewer of these people."

He also expected to use these people to exchange for a prince, but there were too few people and not enough credit.

Seeing Han Xin's regretful look, Xiao He couldn't help but wonder. Why did the other party seem to be afraid that these small countries would not unite?

When he was about to think deeply, Han Xin continued,

"So Brother Xiao, you don't have to worry, these people can't make any trouble."

"Just go ahead and fulfill your ambition, and then you will be worthy of being a prime minister."

Hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but feel slightly fascinated. Although his family conditions were not bad before, strictly speaking, he still belonged to a poor family, and the highest position was just a small official.

Now that he has the opportunity to stand at the highest position in the world, of course he will be tempted, but at this time he still said with a bit of humility,

"There are so many talented people in the court, I'm afraid it won't be my turn. I think brother Chen Ping is doing very well in the south."

Han Xin said with great certainty at this time,

"Brother Xiao, you don't have to be humble. In terms of management, just look at this heavy snowfall. Tens of thousands of sergeants like us were not greatly affected. This is all your credit!"

This time, the snow on the grassland was certainly heavier than that on the Great Wall, but Xiao He had made all preparations long before it snowed.

He was a little disapproving at first, feeling that the other party was too prepared to lock up.

But soon, the snow was unexpectedly heavy, but relying on the previous preparations, the army did not suffer too much loss.

He simply fell to the ground in admiration.

Of course, I have to say that Zhou Bo behind them is also a talented person. The two cooperated with each other to protect the Qin army on the grassland.

Xiao He wanted to be more humble at this time, but a Qin soldier hurriedly walked in and said,

"An urgent message from His Royal Highness the General and Prince!"

At this time, Han Xin quickly took the letter and opened it. After taking a look, the admiration for Xiao He became stronger on his face. He said,

"Brother Xiao, you are really good at predicting events. His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go back to the Great Wall immediately to prepare for the spring plowing."

Xiao He couldn't help but nodded slightly complacently, and then asked,

"Did the letter say anything else? I'll take care of these things before I leave. Brother Han, you should be more relaxed."

Han Xin quickly said,

"There is indeed a big event. Your Majesty is about to patrol the northern grasslands. He will first go to the place where the Xiongnu Royal Court is, then transfer here, and then return to Xianyang from here."

Upon hearing the news, Xiao He's expression suddenly became serious,

"His Majesty's northern tour is a major event. Brother Han must not take it lightly."

"Otherwise, His Majesty will be offended, and there will be nothing His Royal Highness can do."

Han Xin also looked solemn and nodded.

They all knew the reputation of the First Emperor, and they did not dare to touch the other party's majesty easily.

Han Xin quickly said,

"I will pay him a visit then and then come back to guard the border. I will ask Zhou Bo to accompany him. He is familiar with this kind of thing."

Xiao He nodded. When it came to dealing with people, Zhou Bo was indeed much better.

Soon the two of them finalized a general plan to receive Qin Shihuang.

"Brother Han, I will leave a document before I leave. You can give it to Zhou Bo when the time comes. Follow the arrangements above."

Han Xin nodded very obediently this time.

Now he only wants to get the king's title. As long as he can get through other things safely,

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince also wants us to see where the Huns that the old Shanyu left with him have gone."

Xiao He frowned slightly at this time.

"The Huns had already left the sphere of influence of the western city-states before winter last year, but we don't know much about the outside world."

"How do you know where they are?"

Xiao He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time, the world is really big now, but since His Highness the Crown Prince asked them, they still had to have an explanation, so he said,

"Brother Han, the city-state where Liu Bang is now is still nominally our land of Great Qin. You might as well write to him and ask him."

Han Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He just wanted to collect information there. This was a good reason, so he nodded and said,

"Well, I'll send a messenger to ask."

Soon the two of them finalized all the matters to be done, and at this time a messenger was heading towards the northwest city-state.

A few days later, in a city-state in the northwest of Daqin, although the temperature had only risen a little, the atmosphere was extremely warm because today was the day of the Six Kingdoms Alliance.

It is rare for the people of the city-state to encounter such a celebration, and everyone is extremely happy. This is also related to their insecurity. Everyone does not know whether they will be alive tomorrow, so carpe diem is the best choice.

At this time, in the palace of the city-state, Liu Bang was sitting at the top, with kings of several city-states on both sides. The atmosphere among everyone was extremely harmonious at this time, because from now on, they would be a very powerful force in the city-states of the Western Regions!

"Everyone, come and drink this cup together. From now on, we are a country of brothers!"

Liu Bang spoke loudly at this time, and there were attendants around him who translated his words to others.

Soon, the kings of several other cities cheered.

They rejoiced that they had found a solid backer.

But no one saw the cold light in Liu Bang's eyes.

These small city-states are not as good as a county in Da Qin. How could he think so highly of these self-righteous, short-sighted, so-called kings?

According to Zhang Liang's plan, forming an alliance is only the first step, and then it will be engulfed step by step.

Within five years, he will become the true king of all city-states!

Thinking of this, Liu Bang raised his head and drank the wine in his hand. As the smell of wine rose, so did his long-dormant ambition!

Yes, this is the courage a man should have!

While the banquet was going on extremely lively, an attendant hurriedly walked to Liu Bang's side and whispered something.

Liu Bang's expression changed slightly, he made an excuse and walked outside, and saw Zhang Liang waiting for him outside with a document.

When he saw Liu Bang coming out, Zhang Liang said solemnly,

"Pei Gong, there is a letter from Han Xin!"

"A letter from Han Xin?"

Liu Bang was slightly shocked. Although the two sides did not have a bad relationship, judging from the defensive look on the other side, it was clear that everyone knew what was going on.

"What did he say? Did he want me to go back?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said,

"I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case, but the other party is asking us to provide various intelligence, such as finding out the whereabouts of the Huns' old leader, Shanyu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang was stunned.

It seems that Han Xin really doesn't regard him as an outsider, so what is the other party's intention?
