Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 152 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge (two in one chapter)

"Long. If you want to defeat the Xiongnu, the first thing is to put away your useless anger and calm down. Your anger at this time can be used to fight a few servants who dare not fight back, but you want to fight the Xiongnu. .Then wait for you to calm down first."

Since Liu Ying told Liu Chang about the letter, an unspeakable anger burned Liu Chang's body. He only felt that something was burning from his abdomen all the way up, burning in his heart, throat, and burning. On his face, he only felt that his whole body was hot, and he didn't listen to Liu Ying's words. There was only one thought left in his mind: slaughter Mo Dun.

In that state, Liu Chang's whole person was in a trance, as if something was about to burst open in his heart, and he didn't even feel the pain. When he sat in front of Han Xin and calmed down, he realized that, I don't know when, one of my toes became red and swollen, and it was itchy and painful.

Liu Chang had never been so angry in his life, his whole body almost exploded with anger.

"His Majesty."

"This minister is rude, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

When Liu Chang leaned over to salute Liu Ying, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped him up, "What is the eldest brother doing? Get up.. Are you alright?" Liu Ying stroked Liu Chang worriedly. His face was full of self-blame, "Eldest brother, I swear to you that I will rule the big man well, and I will definitely take revenge on the thief!"

Liu Chang calmly raised his head, "Brother, the national power of the Han is still unable to fight against the Xiongnu in full force. Brother, don't blame yourself, the safest way now is to restore the power of the people of the Han as soon as possible and cultivate more war horses. With the help of a group of sages, the big man will definitely develop soon, and the gentleman will take revenge, and it will not be too late for ten years."

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Ying was startled, and immediately grabbed Liu Chang's hand excitedly, "eldest brother! It's great that you can think so! Don't worry, that day will not be too far away. "

Liu Chang added: "Brother, although we can't do anything to the Xiongnu at the moment. However, if we retreat blindly, the Xiongnu will definitely despise us, and they will become more arrogant. I am afraid that the number of plundering Yan and Tang will be even greater. Much."

Liu Ying frowned and nodded, "You're right."

"The Marquis of Huaiyin told me that rashly going to war with the Xiongnu will inevitably affect the development of today's big Han, but we can use the two countries of Tang and Yan to launch a small battle to let the Xiongnu know that in the land of Yan and Tang, not everyone can be bullied. Such a small battle will not affect the development of Dahan today, what do you think, brother?"

"Small battle?"

"That's right, it's a small-scale battle, with only a few hundred people. It's good to let the Huns know that we are not afraid of fighting."

Liu Ying pondered, "That's fine, then I will issue an edict to Tang Guoyan."

"Brother, no need, let me take charge of this matter. After I go to Tang country, I will definitely fight a big battle with the Xiongnu. This time, I will practice my hand in this small battle."

Seeing Liu Chang's words being so serious, Liu Ying waved her hand, "Okay, I will issue an edict, you will be responsible for this time's counterattack, but eldest brother... it can only be a small battle, but you can't mess around! "

"Don't worry, second brother, when did I lie to you? It's definitely a small battle!"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Ying, who had trusted Liu Chang before, was suddenly shaken. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let Jibu do this for you."

"it is good!"

Liu Chang replied without hesitation.

Liu Chang took the imperial edict and left the palace.

Ji Bu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and the emperor had sent someone to tell him about the counterattack. Ji Bu frowned, not knowing what to think about.

After seeing Chang Liu come out, Ji Bu leaned over and saluted.

Chang Liu also hurriedly returned the salute. Chang Liu had heard the name Ji Bu a long time ago, but Chang Liu did not expect that his mother would arrange for him to be his lover.This person is simply an enhanced version of Luan Bu. He is upright, keeps his promises, and is very good at fighting. How can he fight? Liu Chang learned the day before yesterday, and none of the three big Shiren are his enemies in one round.

Among all the swordsmen Liu Chang met, this one was probably the only one who could compete with Gai Gong.

Moreover, he even dared to beat himself, which made Liu Chang a little angry, but thinking of his strength, Liu Chang still smiled kindly in return.When you are old, no, wait until the widow is old, and see how the widow beats you!

Chang Liu got into the car and said, "Go to Prime Minister Xiao's mansion."

Ji Bu drove for him and suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Luan Bu?"

"Luan Bu went to contact a good brother of mine."

"Good brother? I don't know who the noble is?"

"Eh is a good friend, confidant, and the relationship is very good."

"His name?"

"Ask so much for what!"

"What about no doubt?"

"He went to Yan Kingdom."

"Where's Mr. Zhao?"

"Go to Zhao Han and other countries."

Ji Bu was taken aback, "Didn't your majesty say a small battle? Why do you still go to Zhao Han and other countries??"

"Oh, it's just a small battle. Tang Kingdom doesn't have many war horses, so I asked them to borrow horses from various countries."

After talking, they came to Xiao Mansion.

After getting out of the car, Ji Bu accompanied Liu Chang into the Xiang's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Xiao Yan hurried over, "Your Majesty!"

Liu Chang smiled, "Is your father here?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, go!"

Xiao Yan took Liu Chang's hand and walked directly into the inner room without complaining.Since the death of Emperor Taizu, Xiao He has basically disappeared from outsiders. He closed the door and thanked guests. He spent the whole day tinkering with new laws in the house and constantly improving them. Today's big man is continuing according to Xiao Xiang's thoughts. Moving forward, Xiao Xiang's mood also became good, and he was happy all day.

But when he saw Liu Chang who walked into the inner room with a smile on his face, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Oh King"

Liu Chang completely ignored the unwelcome look on Xiao He's face and sat in front of Xiao He with a smile, "Long time no see, Father Zhong is okay?" After speaking, he picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, " Uh, it's not very delicious, next time I will bring the fruit from the Marquis of Heyang to Zhongfu, it's really delicious."

Xiao He helplessly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, "Your Majesty is here, what's the matter?"

"Father Zhong, now that you are no longer in office, why are you staying in the mansion all day? Why don't you go out and play in the mountains and waters, this is better for your health. I heard that there is a horse-wearing mountain in the state of Zhao, and the beauty of the mountain is really impressive. "

"Your Majesty is trying to trick the old man into going to Zhao State and be responsible for the logistics of the war for Your Majesty?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Father Zhong is wise! Father Zhong's wisdom is unmatched by anyone else."

"My lord, I already know about the affairs of the court."

"However, the king should know that this is the enemy's aggressive plan. Now is not a good time to send troops. The big man still needs to develop."

"I know that Father Zhong didn't know anything about my father's death. Before my father's death, he hugged me and said to me, don't make my mother angry, and protect the family. Of course I know this is a violent law, but whether it is public or private, this is a A battle must be fought and must be won.”

"Since my grandfather, the faint-hearted Ming monarch, was besieged by the Xiongnu, I was surrounded by the Xiongnu, and my ministers in the Han Dynasty have been extremely frightened by the Xiongnu. There are still many tribes outside the Great Wall, and they are at war with the Xiongnu, but they are still reluctant. The reason for forming an alliance with the Great Han is because I do not believe that the Great Han has the strength to fight against the Huns."

"Modun is also testing this time. If we don't fight back, then the looting of the Huns will only become more frequent. The people of the Central Plains may be able to develop steadily, but what about the people of our Tang country? What about the people of the Yan country? Zhao What about the people of the country? Do they deserve to be plundered?!”

"I have no strength to fight the Huns in an all-round way, and the Huns also have no such strength. I have a good brother from outside the Great Wall. He once told me that there are many contradictions within the Huns. They are united by many tribes. The language and customs are completely different. On the other hand, the Huns are very harsh to other tribes. At this moment, Modun is purging the nobles of other tribes in the country.”

"My brother has already ordered me to take charge of this battle. If Father Zhong is unwilling to help me, then I can only rely on myself. If it is because of food logistics, the army is defeated, the casualties are heavy, and the great Han is on the verge of extinction. It's all your fault, Father Zhong! How can you bear it, Father Zhong?! Have you read all the books you've read all these years in vain?!"

Listening to Liu Chang shamelessly targeting Xiao He, he yelled, Ji Bu blushed and fidgeted, and hurriedly cleared his throat.

Then Liu Chang said sincerely: "Please help me, Father Zhong! I won't use too many troops, and I won't mobilize people on a large scale."

Leaving Xiao He's mansion, Ji Bu was driving a car and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, you are doing this. It's true. I don't even know what to say. You are the one who insists on fighting, but when something goes wrong, it is Xiao Xiang who is responsible. Just now Xiao was about to start. Besides, Xiao Xiang is old, you Is it too much to ask him to go to Zhao State to take care of the logistics for you?"

"Your Majesty, among all the princes, you have the largest territory and the largest number of people under your control. You should set an example for the princes in the world. You said to Your Majesty that it was a small battle, but now it seems that you are sending people. To contact the various princes, and send people to contact people outside the Great Wall, and also need Xiao Xiang to sit in the rear, this is not like a small battle, king, how many people do you want to use?"

"Your Majesty?"

Before Liu Chang could answer, Ji Bu turned his head suspiciously, and saw that the car was empty, and there was still Liu Chang's figure.

"Where's my king?!?!"

Obviously, Luan Bu and the others were in a hurry and forgot to train Ji Bu for newcomers.

But at this moment, Chang Liu was in Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Bo squinted his eyes and looked at King Tang in front of him. He didn't have much friendship with King Tang. Although Liu Chang came to Zhou Mansion frequently, he met Zhou Bo very rarely.

"Taiwei, this is the imperial edict."

"Your Majesty wants me to fight back against the Huns with the power of Tang."

"Please lead the Northern Army to Tang Country, the food and grass materials will be borne by Tang Country, Xiao Xianghui will sit in the rear, Chen Hou will accompany him to make plans, and you will be responsible for commanding the Northern Army and Tang Yan's army. ."

Zhou Bo was a little surprised. He picked up the edict and looked at it seriously. It really was an edict from the Son of Heaven.

"His Majesty was reluctant to send troops during the court meeting, why do you want to send troops now?"

"It's not the same, this time, it's just a small battle. My master is mainly responsible for it. I'm just running errands for him." Liu Chang lowered his voice and said, "However, you still have to keep this matter a secret, and only use the The Northern Army, as well as the soldiers from Tang Yanzhao and other places, will not recruit too many soldiers..."

"Commander of the Marquis of Huaiyin?!"

Zhou Bo was startled, then nodded, "I see."

"Then I'll go to the palace now and ask His Majesty for the Tiger Talisman."

"No hurry, Your Majesty is busy with food and grass, you can go back in the evening."

"only!"

When Liu Chang left from the Taiwei's Mansion, the three cubs of the Zhou family kept up with him, "Your Majesty? Are we going to go to war with the Huns?"

"Yeah, I recently came up with a strategy to defeat the Huns and sent letters to various places. This time, I will command the army and defeat the Huns!"

"Your Majesty Shenwu! What is a Mordun? You can only escape when you see your Majesty!"

"Correct!"

Listening to the praises of the three, Liu Chang also raised his head and grinned, "Of course, let alone bluffing, even if Bai Qi is reborn, I can catch him alive! The Marquis of Huaiyin heard my plan, and they were all Throwing down on me is far better than calling me a successor!"

"Your Majesty? Where are we going next?"

"There are a lot of people to look for, Chen Hou, General Xiahou, General Guan, and Wuyang Hou. These people are all looking for."

It took half a day for Liu Chang to visit all the fathers of Zhong'an in Chang'an. He treated different people with different words, such as Chen Ping. Sure enough, when Chen Ping heard that Empress Lv was involved, he didn't refute it. When he treated Fan Kuai, he used aggressive methods to provoke him. Fan Kuai yelled, and wished he would chop off Mo Dun's head now.

As for Guan Ying, it is to use the emperor's edict to press him and make him ready.

When it was almost evening, Liu Chang returned to Jiaofang Hall.

"Don't think about it, I won't agree."

Liu Chang stayed with Han Xin for two days, and Empress Lv had already learned of their conversation. At the moment of meeting, Empress Lv directly refused.

Liu Chang seemed to have expected this for a long time. He smiled and sat in front of his grandmother, "Today, I went to see my brother, and immediately, all the ministers came to me."

"Xiao Xiang is willing to sit in the rear, Chen Hou is willing to go out with the army, the captain is willing to lead the army, Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, Xia Houying and others are willing to fight. Since the death of my father, I have never seen them come together so hard. do the same thing."

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, "You used the emperor's decree to deceive them, right?"

"how can that be possible?"

"They are all willing grandmothers. You should have known about the master's words a long time ago. Now is the best time to fight back. Mo Dun used aggressive tactics and was waiting for us to send troops. Since he wants us to send troops, Why can't he get his wish? According to the master's strategy, we may not lose!"

"What's more, this time, you don't have to recruit people, you don't have to go deep into the grasslands, you only need the troops of the Northern Army to fight back against the Huns."

"My master's rebellion is very unreliable, but when it comes to fighting skills, can't you still trust him?"

"Now that your elder brother is on the throne, you have always wanted to give him prestige. If you can defeat the Xiongnu this time, who would dare to look down on your elder brother?!"

"Mum! Time doesn't wait for me! If you miss this opportunity, you can only go deep into the grasslands to fight against Modun in the future, then there is really no chance."

Empress Lu hesitated.

"Mother, I know you want to put the world as the most important thing. This time, the world is the most important thing. As long as you can defeat the Xiongnu once, even if it only kills a few hundred of him, you can change the current situation! You can harvest it outside the Great Wall. More allies can make the people no longer fear the Huns!"

"As long as this battle can be won, no one can match the prestige of my brother. If we lose, Xiao and I will bear it all alone!"

Empress Lu made a decision.

Inside the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Ying stared at Zhou Bo and the others in front of her in a stunned manner.

"When did I send the Northern Army out?"

Just as they were staring at each other, Empress Lu walked in with Chang Liu.

"This battle must be fought."

When Empress Lu spoke like this, the generals were overjoyed, and Liu Ying looked at them in a daze, "But, the materials needed for the Northern Army's expedition."

"It's all up to me, Tang Guo!"

Liu Chang said, sat in the group of ministers, and then said seriously: "The widow is ready, the Yuezhi outside the Great Wall is familiar with the terrain outside the Great Wall, and has been defeated by the Xiongnu many times. I have sent people to contact Han. , Liang, Chu and other places will soon be transported to Zhao, and Xiao Xiang will set off for Zhao to be responsible for logistics."

"The widow has sent a letter to Zhang Xiang, and the captain can lead the Northern Army to Tang Country as long as he thinks about the battle. For other things, Zhang Xiang will arrange it properly."

Liu Chang said loudly, and everyone looked at him and nodded.

"Captain, I'll go out with you!"

"No!"

"No way!!"

"No!!!"

Empress Lu, Liu Ying, and Zhou Bo said in unison.

Liu Chang was stunned and looked at them, "This time the war will be taken care of by the widow, and the widow will not go, what kind of decency is this?"

"Your Majesty is young, and since the battle has been determined, leave it to us!"

Liu Chang jumped up and scolded: "Good you Zhou Bo, the widow is busy with this matter, but in the end you came to pick the fruit? This time, the widow must go on an expedition, and no one can stop me! The widow must personally Go and chop off Mo Dun's head!"

Zhou Bo looked at Empress Lu, and Empress Lu said slowly, "Someone here."

When four or five soldiers rushed up and left Xuanshi Hall with Liu Chang in his arms, Liu Chang continued to struggle and shouted: "You cross the river and demolish the bridge! Let me go! Let go of the widow!! The widow will cook you!!"

Liu Chang's voice became smaller and smaller until he couldn't hear it.

Only then did Empress Lu look at Zhou Bo and said, "This battle uses the strategy of the Marquis of Huaiyin. For the specific situation, I will send someone to ask Marquis of Huaiyin and let you know at any time."

Empress Lu finally decided to use this powerful weapon. The generals did not say much about the issue of the Marquis of Huaiyin, but asked, "What about the Tang Kingdom?"

"I'll be in charge."

Empress Lu stood up and said coldly, "The whole army obeys my orders, and all countries follow my orders."

"only!!!"

The generals saluted Empress Lu one after another, and the person in command of the overall situation changed from King Tang to Empress Lu. For some reason, everyone just felt a lot more at ease.

After that, Liu Chang was imprisoned in the Jiaofang Hall, and there were six or seven soldiers staring at him. He could only understand the situation in various places through letters. The war completely fell into the hands of Empress Lu. , but she knew how to use people, she arranged everyone in their most suitable positions, and began to plan this battle against Hungary.

After Liu Bang, one person stepped forward again and united all the generals together, forming a great force.
