Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

An order came into Xiao Ran's field of vision.

After clicking it and seeing the customer's name clearly, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and saw the order content:

[Customer: Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty]

[Time: 200 BC, seven years! 】

[Customer demand: The Han Dynasty is in danger! Hope heaven will send talented people! Save me from fire and water! 】

[Remuneration: ten thousand taels of gold]

【Orders! 】

A thousand taels of gold!

This Han Taizu is so grand!

But Xiao Ran also knew that this list was a bit difficult.

It's not that the big man is rich, but that he suffered heavy losses in the siege of Baideng, and Liu Bang almost died there.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin on the side looked over and their voices were surprised.

"Han Taizu? What is this situation? The founding emperor even asked the company for help."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised, and turned to look at Xiao Ran, "We have heard of the Baideng siege, but wasn't this dilemma finally solved? Why would we still issue orders?"

The moment he saw the order content, Xiao Ran was already aware of Liu Bang's dangerous situation.

"This Baideng siege is also the result of Liu Bang's underestimation of the enemy."

"In the sixth year, the Xiongnu went south, attacked Taiyuan, and besieged Han Wangxin, a prince with a different surname who was stationed at that time. Not long after, Han Wangxin surrendered to the Xiongnu."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table angrily, and he couldn't help but curse.

"This King of Han is extremely stupid! Surrendering to the Xiongnu will put the backbone of our Han people! When we teach our descendants, we also focus on scolding him."

The Han people have been harassed by the Huns in all dynasties, and Li Shimin also hated the Huns.

"As a prince with a different surname, it is ridiculous to seek refuge with the Xiongnu!"

Xiao Ran shook his head and continued with a smile: "To say that King Xin of Han surrendered to the Huns, it was also Liu Bang who pushed him."

How can an emperor push the princes to surrender to the enemy?

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately answered.

"In the autumn of the sixth year, the Xiongnu Chanyu led his army to besiege King Xin of Han. He could not defeat him, so he wrote a letter asking for peace."

"If peace was negotiated, maybe the Huns would not have gone south so quickly, but Liu Bang knew about it."

"Liu Bang suspected that Han Wangxin was secretly collaborating with the Huns, and wrote a letter to blame Han Wangxin. It was precisely because of this that Han Wangxin was worried about being executed, so he simply agreed with the Huns to go south together and capture Taiyuan County."

The allied forces with the Xiongnu went south, which completely confirmed the reputation of uniting the Xiongnu. Han Wangxin naturally worked hard when attacking the Han Dynasty.

After talking about the reasons for Han Wangxin's rebellion, Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless. If he were Han Wangxin, he might not be able to help but reply and scold Liu Bang.

There's nothing wrong with suing for peace if you can't defeat him. You said it would be better if this big man sent troops to support him than to write a letter to accuse him of collaborating with the enemy!

"This move is really..."

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to judge.

Li Shimin calmed down, took over the conversation, and made the same conclusion as Xiao Ran.

"The biggest reason is to underestimate the enemy."

Xiao Ran's evaluation was fair, and he slowly talked about the Siege of Baideng, "After Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu allied forces went south, Liu Bang personally led the army to attack the Xiongnu, and his morale increased greatly in the name of suppressing Han Wangxin's rebellion."

"The Han army entered Taiyuan County and won consecutive victories. In one battle, Han Wangxin's army suffered heavy casualties. The Han army took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu coalition forces again."

The early victory was very satisfying. Zhu Yuanzhang looked relieved, but he had some appreciation for Liu Bang.

However, Xiao Ran's next words made Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin sigh.

"The Han army attacked Jinyang, and the Huns were stationed in Daigu. Liu Bang ordered people to investigate the truth and found out that only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left among the Huns."

"Liu Bang ordered the attack, but the counselor stood up to dissuade him. He was reprimanded and detained by Liu Bang."

"It is precisely because of this that Liu Bang was trapped on Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights."

Xiao Ran also felt a little emotional in his heart. People in the world have always criticized Liu Bang more than praised him, but this is really not a random evaluation by the world.

The most slanderous thing about him is his character.

"Okay, that's it for the Baideng siege. I'll be back soon."

……

Seven years, winter.

Climb the mountain in vain.

The cold wind was fierce, and Liu Bang and his counselors were sitting in the tent.

They have been trapped here for three days and three nights, and suffered heavy losses trying to break out.

Chen Ping chewed a piece of tree bark and stared at the drawn topographic map of Baishan Mountain, trying to find a way to survive.

"Your Majesty, Baishan Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is too difficult to break through."

"It's better to write a letter asking for peace. Maybe we can get some rest time."

Desperately realizing that there was no way to survive, Chen Ping once again put forward his own ideas.

Liu Bang's face changed slightly and he reprimanded loudly, "Even if I die in battle, there is no way I can seek peace!"

He went out to fight in the name of countering the rebellion. If he sued for peace at this moment, his prestige among the people would be greatly reduced.

Other generals also disapproved of peace.

"The Huns have charged and killed us several times. They obviously want to trap our Han army here. How could they agree to sue for peace?"

Chen Ping sighed helplessly and told the truth calmly.

"It's the middle of winter now. If we don't seek peace, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to hold on for long."

They had not prepared much food for the attack, and they were trapped on Baishan Mountain for three days and three nights, and they ran out of food.

Coupled with the cold, many soldiers lost their fingers due to freezing.

"Don't mention this matter again!"

Liu Bang knew that there was nothing wrong with what Chen Ping said, but he still insisted not to seek peace.

Putting his hand on the map, Liu Bang gave the order without any doubt, "Break out from here tonight, I will personally lead the troops, and I will make sure that the Xiongnu will be frightened by our Han army!"

Several generals frowned. They did not agree with such a risky approach and did not dare to persuade Liu Bang.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"That's where the Huns are heavily guarded, and they won't be able to break through successfully."

Which brave person dares to point out the mistake in public.

Several generals and Chen Ping followed the sound and saw that the young man who had appeared in the tent at some time was dressed very strangely.

Liu Bang was shocked and angry, "Who are you!"

The general who came to his senses immediately pulled out the weapon from his waist and stood in front of Liu Bang, staring at the young man with vigilant eyes.

"I'm Xiao Ran from Super Dimension Company, and I'm here to help you break out."

Xiao Ran accepted their gazes calmly. This time the order was not difficult, but easy.

The most important thing now is to talk to Liu Bang first.

"Liu Bang, I've taken your order. If you want to break out, we can sit down and chat."

At this time, soldiers who heard the noise outside rushed in and immediately surrounded Xiao Ran. They didn't notice anyone coming in just now.

Even in the face of life and death threats, Xiao Ran still stood there calmly, which made people admire him.

Chen Ping was the first to speak out, "You claim to be able to help the Han army break through, but do you have soldiers and horses in your hands?"

"No."

"What's your clever plan then?"

"No."

Xiao Ran shook his head, his answer was disappointing.

Without soldiers, horses, and clever strategies, how could they solve their immediate difficulties!

Liu Bang stared blankly for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to believe Xiao Ran.
