Humane Yongchang

Chapter 487

When it snows heavily in northern Xinjiang,

Southern Xinjiang is still bathed in warm and bright sunshine.

In the city of Xiou King, a terrifying black tiger as big as a water tank was quietly lying on the altar outside the ancestral temple.

A thick and strong man with disheveled hair and only a piece of animal skin wrapped around his body, held a bone knife to cut open the chest of the black tiger, and took out a scarlet heart that was still steaming from it, which was as big as a basin. He held it high above his head and opened his bloody mouth wide open.

The viscous bright red blood in his heart fell into the mouth of the thick and strong man with a silky pull.

His throat surged, and he swallowed all the hot blood from Heihu's heart into his stomach.

Only when there was no more blood dripping from his heart, did he respectfully send the basin-sized heart into the bronze three-legged cauldron that was burning with raging flames in front of the altar, and the flames in the cauldron immediately rose as high as a floor!
Seeing this, the rough man felt as if he had been slapped with chicken blood, excitedly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and raised his arms and shouted: "Ouke! fuck him)"

In an instant, thousands of savage Baiyue strong men around the altar all raised up their multifarious weapons and shouted hoarsely: "Ouk!"

"Oak!"

"Ouk..."

In the center of Wang Yang, who is dressed in different clothes and languages, Liu Bang, who is dressed in the belt of Gao Guanbo from the Han family, is so out of place that he wants to dig a hole and bury himself!

At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: "Naigong is a dignified son of Huaxia, why is he here?" '

He looked around with a sigh in his heart.

Rough, ugly, dirty buildings.

All the dark, foul-smelling, hideous Baiyue people.

Disdainful glances everywhere.

Undisguised coldness and malice...

Regret grew wildly in his heart like weeds in spring!

In other words, Li Shiqi died earlier.

If Li Shiqi was still alive now, he would definitely cut him into pieces!

Although it was true that he was unwilling to be a Han minister at the beginning, he decided to turn out to be a big man.

But if it weren't for Li Shiqi to sow discord, maybe he would have held back his breath?
What if?
If he hadn't turned out to be a big man, he would still be sitting in the monastery, sleeping with beautiful women, drinking fine wine, and holding 20 soldiers...

How could he end up in this barbarian land?

Li Shiqi, damn it!

Damn it!

"General Liu."

The peculiar Huaxia dialect awakened Liu Bang from his remorse.

He took a closer look, and saw that the rough man on the altar just now had changed into a gorgeous purple robe, and even his long messy hair was tied up in a bun and fixed on the top of his head with a golden crown.

Whether it's purple robes or golden crowns, they are all in the formal Kyushu style.

But it fell into Liu Bang's eyes, but it felt awkward.

'Washing the monkey and crowning...'

He muttered something in his heart, but not only did he not show the slightest change on his face, he even showed a little gratitude: "Boss Song."

The country of Baiyue is similar to a federation or an alliance. The leader is not a king, but a "chief".

And this rough man is the contemporary leader of Xiou, whose name is transliterated as Yiyu Song.

'Yixu' means leader, both a status and an honorific title.

'Song' is his first name, which means "mountain wolf" in Baiyue language. Baiyue people do not have a surname, only a first name.

After he bowed down, Song Song pretended to be displeased and said with a smile: "General Liu is too polite. In our Daxiou, there are no such common etiquettes. Since you have fallen into the arms of the Father God, then you and I will be like you." Like brothers, regardless of high or low!"

After Liu Bang heard this, the gratitude on his face became more and more intense, he got up and bowed again: "The leader of Song Dynasty taught you the lesson well, and the last general will definitely remember it in the future!"

Yiyu Song looked at his respectful appearance, and finally stretched out his hands to support him in satisfaction, pointing to the many Xiou soldiers who had not dispersed to the left and right, and said proudly: "General Liu, what do you think of my son?"

Liu Bang looked at these Xiou soldiers who were carrying weapons and rations on their bodies, guessing the intention of Song Song in his heart, and praised without hesitation on the surface: "I am really a master of tigers and wolves!"

Translator Song became more and more satisfied, grabbed Liu Bang's forearm with one hand affectionately, and pulled him towards the palace together: "How is it compared to the Han army?"

Liu Bang: "The victorious Han army is far away!"

Translation called Song: "Then how about the northern expedition to Kyushu with the army built by my son Lang?"

Liu Bang thought inwardly that it was true, but he looked at Yiyu Song with feigned surprise on his face: "The leader intends to go to the Northern Expedition?"

Yi Song nodded casually, but from the corner of his eye he looked at Liu Bang closely: "How? The timing is not right?"

"Now is really not a good time!"

Liu Bang replied without thinking.

Yi Song closed his eyes and continued with a smile: "But how did I hear that now is the best chance to attack the big man?"

Liu Bang looked at him pretending to be surprised: "Who dares to talk nonsense in front of the leader! He should be killed!"

Translator Song said arrogantly: "You don't care who said it, you just say it, is it right?"

"This……"

Liu Bang pretended to ponder, but he didn't panic at all!

In fact, when he received Yiyu Song's call, he had already guessed why Yiyu Song called him into the royal city.

After thinking about it, he knew nothing more than understanding the situation of the Great Han, preparing for the Northern Expedition, or going to the Northern Expedition now...

When he entered the city and saw so many heavily armed Xiou warriors, his hypothesis was undoubtedly confirmed.

So he had already thought about how to answer this question.

Promise is impossible to promise!
He never even surrendered to the king of Han, how could he surrender to a barbarian?
Isn't that the more you get around, the more you go back, making you laugh forever?

What's more, he still points to the capital in his hand, spreading branches and leaves in Baiyue, prospering, and doves occupying the magpie's nest, how can he take it back to make wedding dresses for Baiyue people?

But it is impossible to refuse.

He and the Baiyue people had their own ghosts.

You plot my interest.

I miss your money.

Therefore, he must demonstrate unique and irreplaceable use value, so that Baiyue people can continue to tolerate and thrive in the land of Baiyue!

Instead of slaughtering them with a knife, killing chickens and taking eggs...

It is very difficult to grasp the proportion of this!
After much deliberation, Liu Bang finally came up with a "advance as retreat" method!

After losing Li Shiqi's unreliable external brain.

His own IQ finally reoccupied the high ground.

"If you want to say that the big man is currently setting up prisons in Kyushu to eliminate dissidents, the people of Kyushu are in dire straits, and people are in panic. All families who have accumulated good fortune look forward to reinforcements like long droughts for rain. If the leader can take this opportunity and lead the army into the belly of Kyushu, surely Can respond to every call, follower like a cloud!"

After Liu Bang paused for a moment pretending to ponder, he opened his mouth to talk about the Kyushu Public Trial Conference. His words were frank and outspoken, as if he really stood in Baiyue's perspective and tried his best to plan for them.

"However, the Kyushu has been in chaos for six years, and now the heroes of all walks of life rule the elite soldiers of hundreds of battles, all attached to the Xuan Banner of the Great Han Dynasty. There are more than 200 million men with armor, and the army is so powerful!"

"If the King of Han takes the power of invincibility and unification of the world to defend the three armies, the morale of the three armies will inevitably skyrocket. They look forward to war, dare to fight, look forward to war, and fear nothing."

"That's why the big man is currently at a time when his internal strength is the weakest and his external defense is the most tyrannical."

Song Jiang looked at him suspiciously.

He instinctively doubted Liu Bang. After all, Liu Bang is a Chinese, and the truth that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts" is not only understood by Chinese people!
However, the situation Liu Bang said is generally the same as the situation he obtained through other means.

And Liu Bang's inferences about the military power and morale of the Han Dynasty are also very reasonable!
Jian Yi asked Song not to speak.

Liu Bang also said: "In the humble opinion of the last general, the key to the Northern Expedition to the Great Han at this moment lies in whether the Bolang Army's frontier defenses can be torn apart. As long as we can break into the hinterland of the Great Han, this battle will surely be victorious. Still unknown!"

Fighting waves?
Translated Song felt inexplicably contemptuous.

If you want to tell him how strong the Han army is, they really have no idea.

After all, they didn't fight the Han army much.

But let's talk about Bo Langjun, an old enemy...

They are so familiar!

The Bolang army is not weak.

But without Lian Po's Bolang Army, how strong can it be?
But immediately he felt a little vigilant again: "I heard from General Liu's words that he supports me in leading our clan, son Lang, a great man in the Northern Expedition?"

"The last general is a defeated army, how can he have the face to plot for the leader again."

Liu Bang bowed his hands in embarrassment and said: "The last general is just reporting the advantages and disadvantages of this battle to the leader. Whether or not the Northern Expedition will be decided by the leader!"

Go, why not go!
If you don't send them off, how can you be beaten by the King of Han?

If you don't send them off, how can I occupy the magpie's nest?
Did Nai Gong say so much to scare you off?

Nai Gong is clearly trying to avoid responsibility later, so he said the ugly words first!

He wasn't worried at all that the Baiyue people would be intimidated by his words.

How old is Liu Bang in Baiyue?

How could the conquest of hundreds of thousands of troops be influenced by him, an outsider?

In the case of predicting the process and results,
Sure enough, after hearing this, Yi Yu Song's doubts were all gone, and he said happily: "Then please ask General Liu to lead his subordinates to guide the children of our clan and point directly to the hinterland of the Central Plains!"

Liu Bang responded immediately: "The last general dares not obey his orders!"

The smile on Yu Song's mouth was about to widen, when he heard Liu Bang say again: "It's just that I will not dare to lie to the leader about something, and I will turn my back on the big man because of the fact that the king of Han seized my military power, and sweep him away in front of the people of the world. The face of the King of Han, the King of Han hated the last general to the bone, and he had publicly told his officials several times that if the last general dared to set foot on the territory of the Han Dynasty, he would personally lead the army to attack him, and vowed to tear the last general to pieces and smash his bones to ashes..."

The implication is: go, I dare to go, but are you ready to face the wrath of the King of Han?

The smile on Yiyu Song's face froze, and after a few breaths he said angrily: "If you can't be a guide for my clan's children, then what use is it for my clan to wait for you!"

He didn't doubt Liu Bang's words, because Liu Bang was indeed the only Han traitor in the world, and it was normal for the King of Han to hate Liu Bang to the bone.

Liu Bang bowed to the end with a face full of shame: "The last general is incompetent, so he can only work in the rear for the leader and brothers in the clan, cultivating food, escorting food and grass, making ordnance and other chores..."

Yiyu Song's complexion improved a lot, but he still scolded contemptuously: "Why don't you dress up like a woman!"

Liu Bang greeted him with a smile, without batting an eyelid.

……

"White up?"

Chen Sheng stood outside the cell, overlooking the white-haired old man sitting cross-legged in the cell.

The cell was not tidy, it was dark, damp and moldy everywhere, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of excrement and urine.

But the white-haired old man sat cross-legged in the center of the cell, giving people a sense of cleanliness from the mud and not stained. Even the gray linen robe on his body seemed to reflect a hazy white light in the dim sky.

"This old thief, a shortcut..."

He murmured in a low voice.

Hearing his voice, Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and glanced at him.

Even though it was the first time they met, he recognized Chen Sheng at a glance, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "The crime will be wiped out, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, King Wannian!"

Before Chen Sheng could open his mouth, a voice full of interest suddenly came from the cell behind Chen Sheng: "Old ghost, you really are nothing!"

Chen Sheng frowned, and raised his hand without looking back.

At that moment, a large group of royal guards rushed into the cell behind him, pinned down the occupants to the ground, and dragged them out of the cell like a dead dog.

The residents in the cell were also stubborn, staring at Chen Sheng without saying a word, and let the royal guards drag him out.

After a while, there was a sound of whipping outside the cell.

Bai Qi waited patiently, but he didn't wait for the sound of whipping to stop, instead he heard a muffled moan of pain.

His heart finally beat... The king of Han's heart is stronger than he imagined!

After a while, the royal guards dragged in the man who had just been dragged out like a dead dog again.

The difference was that when he was dragged out, the man was still erect, looking tough.

When it was dragged in again, the man was already as soft as a rag, and there was a thick bloodstain on the ground...

Looking at the person coming, Chen Sheng said softly, "Where do you have the courage to interrupt when I'm talking?"

The man was limp on the ground, leaning against the cell with his upper body weak, gasping for blood, he desperately raised his head and looked at Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng looked at him blankly, his eyes getting colder.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, four breaths, five breaths... The man finally couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure pouring down, he lowered his head and said in a suffocated voice: "The guilty general, Li Mu, was quick to speak for a while, the king lost his dignity , His Royal Highness, please forgive me!"

Chen Sheng's eyes relaxed, and he said softly: "As a general in command, judging the situation is the most basic skill, but you just made two mistakes!"

"First, you miscalculated the strength of the enemy and us."

"Second, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles."

"If you make such a fatal mistake, you will die!"

Li Mu replied aggrievedly: "Your Majesty the King of Han taught that sins will be kept in mind, and I dare not forget them without teeth!"

Chen Sheng held up his hands and walked slowly in the corridor: "You two are sensible people, why I invited you to the capital from all the way, I think you already know it well."

"I won't talk about the unnecessary nonsense. In a word, both of you are guilty of crimes. I can come here in person, which is already the highest courtesy I can give you!"

"As for this insignificant skirmish between me and General Lee...

"If we still have the opportunity to sit down, I will personally pour wine to General Lee and apologize."

"If he hadn't had that chance, General Li would not have kept this small conflict in mind."

"Well, I'll only say it once!"

"Whether you are willing or not, you two have a good talk!"

His voice fell.

Li Mu couldn't help but look at his bloody lower body.

Bai Qi couldn't help but look at Li Mu's bloody lower body.

Doesn't matter?

You call that irrelevant?

Which master taught you to surrender like this?
You call him out, we promise not to kill him!

……

Mingtang is as warm as spring.

Chen Sheng personally filled a bottle of syrup, and presented his hands to the pale-faced Li Mu. He said with a smile on his face, "General Li is injured and should not drink alcohol. I will use water instead of wine to apologize to General Li. I beg Li Mu." General Haihan!"

Li Mu had just bandaged the wound, and the wound was still hurting like a knife cut, and he was able to attend this dinner because he had to hold on to his unruly spirit.

But at this moment, he looked at Chen Sheng, who had a calm face, without any reluctance or embarrassment, but he couldn't go along with his tone no matter what, and when he got up, he couldn't help but said to death: "Why did the king be so arrogant before?" Congratulations?"

Bai Qi sat across from Li Mu, and he raised his wine bottle to signal to the iron-headed boy with admiration, and at the same time he pricked up his ears to listen.

In fact, it is also difficult for him to understand Chen Sheng's "unique" method of recruiting and surrendering.

In ancient times, when the generals of the enemy were recruited, there was no one who honored the virtuous and the corporal, promised high positions, gave great benefits, and even had the ability to love the enemy generals. The example of magnanimously releasing them back to the camp has been passed down as a good story...

Like Chen Sheng, if you dare to utter the word "no", you will be cut into one hundred and eight paragraphs immediately, and you will not be relieved if you miss a paragraph. If you search all ancient books, you will definitely not find a second one. !

"General Li once led the soldiers of King Yan's Mansion to plunder the common people of my Han people through their teeth to support the Youzhou Army's food and grass. This is a great revenge!"

Chen Sheng was not angry, but looked at Li Mu in surprise and said, "Why should I endure and respect an enemy?"

This theory sounds right, but Li Mu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while. He opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

"I understand, I understand, General Li wants to say, you are talented, right?"

Chen Sheng waved his hands, making Li Mu's tongue uneasy, and Li Mu, who was so impatient and pale, said calmly, "Well, for example, you were beaten up by a wealthy family. , is this hatred?"

Li Mu nodded.

Chen Sheng: "Then if I want to seek revenge on this big family, does it have anything to do with whether he is rich or not?"

Li Mu thought for a while, then shook his head.

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded: "Since it doesn't matter, why should I speak nicely to him because he is rich? Does his money have a copper coin relationship with me?"

"In other words, General Li first made an enmity with me, and then resolutely refused to join me, so even if you are full of military skills, you are the best in the world in commanding troops...does this have something to do with me?"

"Since it doesn't matter, why should I respect you, just because of your big face, just because of your age?"

Li Mu pondered for a while, hey, it seems that this is the truth!

Doesn't that mean that the predecessors paid respect to the enemy generals and corporals, in fact, they repaid their grudges with virtue?

No, no, no, Corporal Lixian, how could it be wrong?

Li Mu racked his brains to think, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong!
Bai Qi, who sat across from him, figured out a little taste.

The fundamental difference between the attitude of the King of Han towards the enemy generals and the attitude of the famous emperors and generals of the ancient Ming Dynasty towards the enemy generals lies in the position of...

Those famous generals who can raise their hands high against the enemy generals and respect the virtuous and corporal, they are standing on their own standpoint, or the standpoint of princes and generals!
Standing on their own ground, they look at the soldiers and horses under their command, just like a shepherd looks at his flock and a merchant looks at his goods.

What they saw were property, not human lives!
Treat human life as property and weigh it on a scale...

You can hear: Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find?
You can hear: Does kindness command soldiers?

So those famous generals, they can show their high hands to those enemy generals, respect the virtuous corporals... After all, they are exchanging a batch of ordinary goods for a valuable one. It is natural for a profitable business to have a better attitude!

Do not believe?

Then why in ancient times it was only heard that the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty raised their hands high to the enemy and respected the virtuous and corporal, but they did not hear that the gentleman of the benevolent person raised his esteem to the enemy who destroyed his family and respected the virtuous and corporal?
In other words, you invite the wives, children, and children of the soldiers who died in battle, and ask them if they would spare the enemy general?

The king of Han put himself in the position of the people and soldiers under his command.

He regards the people as his elders, if you rob his elders of food and grass that they save and save, can he give you a good face?

You should be glad that he could resist not killing you: Fortunately, what you robbed was only food and grass!
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why he and Li Mu could sit here.

But Han Xin and Zhang Liang sent them on the spot after the defeat...

Bai Qi couldn't help but took two big gulps of the syrup, suppressing his shock.

Seeing that Li Mu was still struggling with this problem when it was over, Bai Qi took the initiative to help him out and said, "I would like to report to the king, the last general asks for orders, and is willing to be the leader of my king's teacher and ten husbands, to kill the enemy and defend the border for my great man, so as to redeem the past as a mistake. Going astray, it is an unforgivable crime to harm the king's teachers and soldiers!"

Chen Sheng glanced at Bai Qi in surprise, he didn't expect him to have such an awareness, and then he waved his hand in relief: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. With your talents, you are indeed too inferior. You The use of troops focuses on the location and the situation, and I want to promote you as the chief of staff of the Suzaku Military Region, who will be fully responsible for planning and deploying the Suzaku Military Region's battle against Baiyue!"

After a pause, he went on to say: "I appreciate your strategic thinking that takes killing the vital forces of the enemy as the core of your tactics. I just hope that you are not an expert in civil wars or an outsider in foreign wars!"

"The peace of China for the next 500 years is in our hands. If my 200 million armored men are swords, then I hope you can be a sword bearer, wield an inexhaustible sword, and make great achievements , Open the foundation of eternal peace!"

Just two or three sentences, only a few hundred or so words, but the words can be as white as a hundred-year-old body, boiling like an eighteen-year-old boy, full of heart: "If you can meet this enlightened master, you will have no regrets in three lives!" '

Bury the sword for a Jiazi, draw the sword and watch the king!

Seeing that Bai Qi had opened his mouth several times but could not utter a word, Li Mu tacitly helped him out and said, "I report to the king, the last general asks for orders to go south with Chief of Staff Bai to fight the wave army, and create a barrier for my great Han in the southern border! "

Chen Sheng glanced at him, shook his head and said: "It is enough to have Chief of Staff Bai in southern Xinjiang, you don't have to join in the fun, you use troops like mountains and thunder, I want to promote you as the chief of staff of the Xuanwu Theater, responsible for the management The Xuanwu Military Region's combat planning and layout against Inu Rong..."

"Xuanwu Military Region? Youzhou Army?"

When Li Mu heard this name, he was not happy but worried.

Chen Sheng poured him a bowl of syrup again: "If you don't have the confidence to deal with the little conflict before, you can also go to the Baihu Military Region and supervise the construction of the Hexi Corridor."

Li Mu blushed immediately, and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"
