When Ying Shimin saw Han Xin and Liu Bang, they were inside the military tent.

He looked at the unremarkable and weak young man in front of him, and he couldn't truly associate him with the title "Military Immortal."

As for the guy next to him, who looked untidy, there was no need to ask; it was undoubtedly Liu Bang.

"Are you Liu Ji?" Ying Shimin asked.

"Liu Ji, the village head of Sishui Pavilion in Peixian, pays respects to Your Majesty." Liu Bang knelt down and performed a grand ceremony.

As he bowed, he stole a sidelong glance at his own actions, which Ying Shimin ignored.

"I heard that when you saw the Emperor Qin on his hunting expedition, you said that a great man should be like this. Did such a thing happen?"

"Emperor Qin is wise and martial. Which man wouldn't aspire to that?" Liu Bang was surprised, not knowing how his bold words from back then had reached the ears of the person in front of him. Nonetheless, he improvised and quickly responded to this potentially deadly question.

Ying Shimin laughed heartily upon hearing his answer.

"We know that you have great ambitions and are respected in Peixian. Currently, General Meng Tian is defending Shangjun against the Xiongnu, and he is in need of capable assistants. We grant you the title of General of Clouds and make you the Marquis of Hanzhong. Take your brothers from Peixian and humbly go to Shangjun, demonstrating your abilities to the Xiongnu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Bang gratefully accepted his orders and left the military tent.

Before he left the tent, Ying Shimin added teasingly, "Be careful of the White Mountain."

Liu Bang didn't understand the meaning behind those words, but he nodded in acknowledgement.

After Liu Bang left, Ying Shimin turned his interested gaze towards Han Xin.

"You are Han Xin, from Huaiyin."

"Yes." Han Xin bowed in response.

"Do you understand the art of war?"

Han Xin's eyes brightened. "Naturally."

Ying Shimin led Han Xin to a map, briefly introduced Xiang Yu's military route and the division of Qin's forces, and asked Han Xin where Xiang Yu's army would go next and how he should respond.

Han Xin touched the map, stared at it for a while, and then pointed to Pengcheng.

Ying Shimin smiled.

This person was undoubtedly the "Military Immortal" Han Xin written about in historical books.

Because his thoughts aligned completely with his own.

"Mengyi! Prepare the platform! I'm going to appoint Han Xin as the Grand General!"

Back then, Liu Bang had the audacity to appoint Han Xin as a general based on Xiao He's recommendation. How could Ying Shimin let Liu Bang take all the credit?

On that day, Liu Bang traveled to the northern region, and Han Xin ascended the platform to be appointed as a general!

Following Xiang Yu, the Military Immortal Han Xin arrived, followed by the Crimson Emperor Liu Bang.
