Chapter 567 Four days is more than enough time!
Han Xin kept calling people "trash," which drew angry and embarrassed looks from everyone.
How do you know His Majesty hasn't changed his mind?
"His Majesty is wise beyond compare, and we can all understand that, so how could he not see through it?"
"With such arrogance, no wonder you met your end..."
"Oh, what happened to me? Tell me then?"
Han Xin stared intently at the last person.
"No matter what my fate is, it's because my achievements overshadowed my master, and I deserve my punishment. But what about you? What about all of you?"
“You have not achieved anything that overshadows the master. No, many of you are useless and have not even achieved anything. You have only gotten what you deserve by standing here and talking to me.”
"It was only because His Majesty took pity on you that he gave you a few bones to eat. In my eyes, you are only fit to kneel and speak to me!"
His words left everyone speechless.
In terms of merit, Han Xin secretly crossed the Chencang pass, defeated Zhang Han, captured the Three Qin regions, destroyed several states, and then besieged Xiang Yu at Gaixia.
Even if you tied them all together, they might not be able to carry Han Xin's shoes.
Even in Liu Bang's own eyes, among these founding heroes, only Zhang Liang and Xiao He had merits comparable to Han Xin.
But now that Xiao He has remained silent, these people can only rage in vain.
"Trash is trash. Open your dog eyes and see for yourselves, am I right?"
Just then, the scene on the sky also reached this point.
With Wen Yang's escort, Zhang Liang returned to Xuchang safely.
Upon seeing Liu Bang, his gaze immediately fell upon the sand table in front of him.
Surrounded on three sides, yet not attacked while remaining surrounded on all three.
This was not an attempt to completely destroy the Han Dynasty; rather, it resembled a further attempt to force the emperor to abdicate.
"Zifang, you..."
Before Liu Bang could exchange even a few pleasantries, Zhang Liang stepped forward and kicked over the sand table in front of him.
Liu Bang: "?"
"Your Majesty, Jiao Bo is dead!"
"He died in the big man's prison, he..."
As Zhang Liang recounted the scene, Liu Bang stood frozen in place.
The words of reprimand that were originally intended to be spoken could no longer be uttered.
After receiving the previous reply and learning about Huang Hao, he could imagine that Zhang Liang and the others' experience in the capital must have been unsuccessful.
But he just couldn't understand why the Shu Han, or rather Huang Hao, dared to be so aggressive.
"Lord Jiao, he is unaware that His Majesty is merely participating in the challenge."
"In his heart, His Majesty is the emperor of this Great Wei. He can accept His Majesty's idea of returning the throne to the Han Dynasty and is willing to work towards it."
"Liang was also thinking about why he would choose to end his life in such a resolute way."
"Probably, he was willing to respect His Majesty's choice, but when he learned that Shu Han wanted His Majesty to abdicate in such a humiliating way, he wanted to use his own life to stop the signing of the alliance and give His Majesty a chance to choose again."
Jiao Bo had no other choice but to use this method to stop the signing of the alliance.
He knew full well that returning the throne to the Han was one thing, but signing this humiliating treaty was another.
Once this alliance is signed, his emperor will no longer have the good name of returning the world to the Han dynasty; instead, he will be condemned for all eternity!
He did not want this to happen, so he chose to end his own life to break the alliance and give his emperor another chance.
Even though His Majesty still insists on going his own way, he has done everything in his power.
"Your Majesty, perhaps we really were wrong in this matter!"
"Those involved are often blinded by their own interests. We really don't need to recreate the Han Dynasty three times in this challenge. What we should be doing is completing this challenge and ensuring the true continuation of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years!"
"..."
At this moment, Liu Bang's original plan, his last attempt, was shattered by this news.
After a moment of stunned silence, he took two steps forward and crushed the small battle flags on the sand table on the ground with one foot after the other.
"Wrong, wrong, it was definitely wrong."
"I was getting stuck on a rut before."
"Such a mighty man has indeed reached the end of his days, he truly deserves to die!"
"Zifang, thankfully you returned in time, and thankfully... Jiao Bo is here."
At this moment, he slowly raised his head, his face devoid of any superfluous expression.
“This big man is no longer my big man, and has no connection with me whatsoever.”
"Such an absurd emperor, such a damned eunuch."
"I do not recognize their legitimacy!"
Liu Chan?
He truly deserves his place on the list of tyrannical rulers!
With Zhuge Liang as his advisor, he was barely passable, but once Zhuge Liang was gone and Huang Hao was all he had left, he became a complete tyrant!
Such a foolish ruler does not deserve to rule the world!
"Your Majesty, should we now end this challenge?"
Zhang Liang asked softly.
“It is indeed time to end this. I was so wrong before that I even clung to a sliver of hope until today.”
"Convey my decree."
"Order Chen Tai and Wen Qin to launch a general offensive."
"They are permitted to use any means necessary. Whoever is the first to storm the capital must not harass the common people. However, when facing officials and gentry from Shu Han, they may never sheath their swords. Everything they seize is spoils of war, which they may distribute as they see fit!"
"Whoever captures Huang Hao and Liu Shan alive will be granted the title of a thousand-household commander and promoted to the third rank!"
"I hereby order Wen Yang to accompany me and lead 80,000 troops from Xuchang to attack the capital!"
Zhang Liang wrote down all of the decrees, then thought for a moment and looked up to ask.
"Shouldn't we order them to arrive within a certain timeframe and launch an offensive? Otherwise, if we can't launch a simultaneous attack from three sides, we won't be able to maximize our advantages."
"How about a month?"
A month?
Liu Bang remained silent for a moment, then his gaze turned slightly cold.
"Seven days!"
"We will march day and night, and launch the final offensive in seven days!"
"With Jiang Wei dead, the powerful figures he had recruited fell apart."
"This mere Shu Han has neither soldiers nor generals. It's not a tough nut to crack, but rather an easy victory!"
“If they can’t catch up, then there’s no need to rush. Even with only 80,000 troops in Xuchang, you can still conquer the capital!”
"Wen Yang, where is Wen Yang?!"
In the end, Liu Bang simply started shouting.
The next moment, Wen Yang, who was waiting outside the door, heard the commotion and quickly entered the main hall.
"The general is here!"
"With 80,000 troops, I am the commander-in-chief and you are the deputy commander. Can you arrive at the capital within seven days and capture it?"
"If you can do this, I will bestow upon you the title of Marquis in the capital, in front of all the people and gentry of the land, a hereditary Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, the Champion Marquis!"
"At the same time, your Wen clan can replace any other aristocratic family, and I will grant you equal status!"
"But let me make this clear from the start: if you fail to capture the capital first, then everything else is for naught!"
Wen Yang's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Bang's words.
seven days?
If you travel day and night, you can arrive in less than two days.
Take a day to rest and recuperate.
Four days is more than enough!
