Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 207 I shall capture Zhao Tuo alive!

A group of talented people are complete, and a few years old are collected together.

Liu Chang looked at the people in front of him and pondered for a moment.

"Lu, you, Zao, he. The four of you accompany me to go."

The four people named by Liu Chang were extremely happy and hurriedly agreed, while the rest were displeased. Zhou Yafu immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Why do you prefer it so much? They can go, why can't we?"

Liu Chang glanced at Zhou Yafu and said, "Come, come, get up!"

Zhou Yafu stood up suspiciously, "If the king wants to beat me, I want to go with me too!"

Liu Chang stood in front of him, lowered his head, compared his height, pointed to his chest, and asked, "Do you know why you weren't allowed to go?"

Lu Lu laughed and said, "Wait until you grow taller!"

Zhou Yafu's face was flushed, and he scolded, "Although he is not tall, he is not a match for you!"

Liu Chang shook his head and said seriously: "The rest of the people are too young, this time to Wu country, it will take a long way, if something happens on the way, I can't take care of you, and wait. Wait, when you are a few years older, I will take you there!"

Chen Mai asked, "Your Majesty, they are young, but I am older, why don't you let me go?"

"You and Xiao Yan are not too young, but you are too thin and it's going to be a cold winter soon, how can you bear it? Besides, I'm not worried about them if you leave like this, you still have to sit in and watch for me. them."

Chen Mai let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "If I don't go, don't you have a counselor by your side?"

Xia Houzao said excitedly: "You don't have to worry, there is me too!"

Chen Mai glanced at him, shook his head and sighed again.

Xia Houzao and Xiao Yan are Guan Zhongleyi recognized by the Qun Xian, Xiao Yan is slow and always can't react, Xia Houzao doesn't have so many problems, he is simply stupid.Xia Houying has hired many famous teachers for this son, but none of them can last for a month, which is different from Liu Chang.

Liu Chang is unwilling to learn, disrespectful to the teacher, Xia Houzao is pure inability to learn!
After learning that Uncle Fuqiu had come to Chang'an, Xiahouying also sent someone to send Xiahouzao over, and he kept exhorting him along the way, asking him to obey and telling him how to answer other people's questions.

Uncle Fu Qiu didn't refuse at first, he just asked Xia Houzao which books he had read with a smile.
Xiahouzao remembered his father's explanation, and answered loudly, "On the Classics! Daodezi!"

Then Fu Qiubo saw off the guests.

However, he is not worthless, he is still quite strong, if he gets ruthless, if he really fights, Zhou Shengzhi may not be able to beat him. Of course, Liu Chang is not at the same level as them, so it should be considered another matter.

Liu Chang looked at them, and said earnestly: "If a man is established in the world, he should be famous for his immortality!"

"I would like to lead you to make achievements! Live up to your manhood!"

"After I leave, you must read often and practice your bowing skills, so don't neglect it!!"

"only!!!"

To a certain extent, Liu Chang's words were more useful than their grandfather's words. Liu Chang proudly raised Jiu Zhan and said loudly, "Ten years from now, everyone present here will have the honor of being a prince!"

"drink!!"

"drink!!!"

After meeting Qunxian, Liu Chang came to see Cao Shu again.

"Shu, this time I will go back and forth, it may take a long time. But don't worry, I have already arranged the personal soldiers I left behind and will protect your safety. I'm done. Your own business, come back immediately."

Cao Shu looked at Liu Chang, who was lying in her arms, and said with a serious look: "Your Majesty has to do something important, but how can you stay here for a long time? Don't your ministers have family members? You let them wait outside, Let them be busy with the king's affairs, but they come to meet me and do their own private affairs, what is the reason?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and shouted, "I'm here to see you, why are you driving me away?!"

"Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important, followed by family affairs. Please don't worry about me, Your Majesty, just do your own thing, and I will wait for Your Majesty's triumph."

Liu Chang's expression also became serious, he stood up suddenly and said, "Okay!"

"South Vietnam does not respect the emperor, and often pretends to be thieves to rob merchants and people. The people in Chu and Wu areas are in a state of fear. In order to defend against South Vietnam, they scrambled their troops and abandoned farming. They still need the relief of temples. I will go this time as a southern country. The people are in great trouble!"

Cao Shu took out a bag from her arms and handed it to Liu Chang.

"There is this thing, like my servant and the side."

"May you have no disasters along the way. Wherever you go, birds of prey and beasts avoid disasters."

Liu Changchang laughed, and took Cao Shu into his arms, "Hahaha, all the disasters that Liu Chang passed by must make way for me!!"

Liu Chang proudly left Cao's house, and Cao Shu was reluctant to look at him. Suddenly, she felt a sudden vomiting in her heart. She resisted the nausea, stroked her stomach, and remained silent.

This time, Chang Liu did not go alone, but was accompanied by a minister.

It was not until Chang Liu was about to set off that the minister came reluctantly. The minister was not young, his hair was gray, but his body was still strong. He frowned and his face was very ugly. Liu Chang's side did not even come to see him.

Liu Chang had never seen this person among the ministers. Seeing this man so arrogant and despising himself, Liu Chang was also a little displeased, and when he got on his horse, he shouted loudly, "You, come and lead the horse for me! "

This man still had a straight face, walked to Liu Chang's side, took the reins, and really led the horse for Liu Chang.

This made Liu Chang a little surprised. He sneered and said, "If you don't dare to violate the order, why pretend to be an upright minister?"

"As a minister, I should obey the king's orders. I don't like the king, but I will not disobey the king."

The man replied calmly.

"Oh? You are not hypocritical, okay, get in the car!"

The man got into the car next to him, Liu Chang rode his horse, walked with him, and asked curiously, "Why don't you like widowers?"

The man said proudly: "Shang Tang and Zhou Wu used both civil and military affairs, so the country's fortunes were long. Wu Wang Fuchai and Zhibo used military and military affairs, and thus perished. Qin blindly punished and severely punished the country. , build more armor and weapons, despise other things, follow the strategy of violent Qin, and focus on farming and warfare."

"The minister is not talented, and he has suffered from the law of Qin, so he followed Emperor Gao to eradicate the violent Qin. How can he love the King of Qin now?"

Liu Changda laughed, "Do you think the widow can rank with King Qin?"

The minister laughed and said, "Although the king of Qin is tyrannical, he has great merit. The merit of the great king is not as good as that of the king of Qin, and even worse."

"You said that, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If the king kills me, then he will not only be able to compete with King Qin, but maybe even catch up with Jie Zhou."

Liu Chang laughed again, completely ignoring the man's sarcasm.

Zhang Budo sneered and said, "A man can't eat five cauldrons in life, and he should be cooked with five cauldrons in death! The king's Wenzhi martial arts, his own descendants commented, but you, a cowardly villain, have no face to mock my lord? Your Excellency is old. , the road is difficult and dangerous, but be careful to die halfway!"

"Your Majesty."

Luan Bu suddenly opened his mouth and looked a little uneasy.

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then called out, "It's also your Confucian, isn't it?"

The man didn't appreciate it, glared at Luan Bu, turned his head away, closed his eyes and rested.

Jia Yi rode his horse and walked to Liu Chang's side, motioning him to move forward a little bit, and when he came to the front, Jia Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person is called Lu Jia, he is a learned scholar with outstanding eloquence, he followed Gao at first. The emperor often sent vassals to various princes and persuaded them to submit to the Emperor Gao and made great achievements."

"When Zhao Gao killed Qin II and sent people to see Emperor Gao, he wanted to sign a covenant to divide up Guanzhong. Emperor Gao sent Li Sheng and Lu Jia to lobby. Lu Jia used his personal interests to tempt the generals of the Qin army and took the opportunity to break through Wuguan. Later, he went on an envoy to Nanyue, and Zhao Tuo respected him very much, and was willing to belong to Emperor Gao."

"He is proficient in governing the country, he wrote to Emperor Gao, and Emperor Gao spoke new words!"

Liu Chang was a little surprised and asked, "This man is so famous, so why haven't I seen him before?"

"After Emperor Gao died, Lu Jia said that he was ill and resigned, so the king never saw him."

"Oh, I understand, this is because I didn't dare to resist my mother, and I was forced to go to Nanyue. I felt resentment in my heart, so I did this to me!"

Jia Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person is talented and the Queen Mother respects him very much. Please don't embarrass him and let him fulfill his mission."

"The few know it! You are the Confucian who have the most affairs!"

"The king isn't either."

"I can send my mother to follow me to Nanyue. This person must have the ability. Don't worry, I will not delay his work."

Liu Chang touched his chin and said seriously.

When they set off from Chang'an, it was the coldest season. After walking, it was covered with snow. Fortunately, there were no old and frail people in the team, and Duke Zhao also stayed in Chang'an.The rest of the people were all strong and not very afraid, but Lu Tazhi and the others were not afraid to rejoice when they saw the heavy snow. If they were not in a hurry, they would have wanted to have a snowball fight or something.

In the county towns they passed, not a single magistrate dared not come to meet Liu Chang.

It can be seen that Liu Chang is still very famous, and the officials are also very polite to him, bowing their heads and daring not to say much.

Sitting in the room, Liu Chang exhaled hot air, grabbed the hot meat impatiently and wanted to eat it, and was not afraid of burning his hands. As a minister who was traveling with him, Lu Jia was naturally here, but he was more meat-eating than Liu Jia. Chang is much more refined and slow, while Liu Chang eats the meat and asks inarticulately, "It's freezing cold, can you still hurry?"

Lu Jia raised his head and said earnestly, "When I was sent to various countries for Emperor Gao, I was not even afraid of swords and soldiers, so how can I be afraid of the cold wind now?"

"Going further south, it will be warmer."

"It's not snowing over there."

Lu Jia didn't answer, Liu Chang ate a few more bites of meat and asked, "You follow me to Nanyue this time, how did the queen mother instruct you?"

"The queen mother asked me to find out the truth of Nanyue and check the situation of Zhao Tuo."

"Oh, you know Zhao Tuo very well?"

"Meeting each other is considered a friend."

"What does he look like?"

Lu Jia glanced at Liu Chang and said, "It's extremely ugly."

When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately laughed, "Without prestige, can you still be king?"

"Lord Lu, if you can pacify Nanyue this time, you will be considered a great achievement, but what are your ambitions?"

"I'm stupid, I don't have any lofty ambitions, I just want to go home and spend my old age in peace."

"Hey, I see that your body is very strong, how can you return to your hometown? Have you ever thought of coming to my Tang Dynasty as your chancellor?"

"Never thought about it."

"Hey, you don't know that my Tang country has a very high salary. As long as the talents who go to Tang country are not worried about food and drink, each mansion is more luxurious than the other."

"When I went to Nanyue, the king of Nanyue gave me a lot of gifts, which are still enough."

"Uh, Tang Guo still has a chance to be a marquis!"

"I don't understand war, and without military merit, I can't be named a marquis."

"You keep saying that Tang's policy is wrong, but you refuse to change it. Is this what a gentleman does?"

"A humble person does not dare to be called a gentleman."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment before he said, "Okay, since you don't want to, then forget it! The widow doesn't force it!"

"Thank you, King."

The next day, they set off again. Chang Liu had already gone to the south once. Therefore, he did not appear as curious as last time, but the four fellows were very excited about it all, and he was tired of riding. , they took the same car, and occasionally encountered pedestrians passing by, and they were extremely excited.

Liu Chang reprimanded them justly and sternly, "What's it called! We are not barbarians! We must know the etiquette!"

Seeing the officials along the road tremblingly come to greet Chang Liu, Lu Jia shook his head helplessly, and it was difficult for these officials.

They kept on their way, and finally, Liu Chang saw an old acquaintance again.

Nanyang County Governor Lu Qing.

Lu Qing was not as frightened as other officials, he was very happy to come to meet Liu Chang.

Liu Chang followed him into the inner room, and the rest were resting outside. Lu Qing hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to attack Nanyue?"

"Is it still not certain that you have not received the edict?"

"Yes, it is said to let me follow the order of the King of Chu."

Liu Chang said displeasedly, "Father Zhong doesn't know about soldiers, so how could he be the commander?"

Lu Qing nodded in agreement and said, "But with the king here, the king can order on behalf of the king of Chu and lead us to crusade against Nanyue!"

"Hahaha! You are right! It should be!"

Liu Chang said happily: "After I met Father Zhong, I asked him to hand over the army to me to be the commander-in-chief!"

"It's best to capture Zhao Tuo alive, and then attack Nanyue."

"You have to get ready!"

"only!"

After Nanyang, Liu Chang and the others really came to the south. With the passage of time, there will be no heavy snow in the sky, and spring flowers are blooming everywhere.The southern part of Dahan is a completely different scene from Chang'an. There are many mountains and forests, and there are many beasts. There are no roads in many places, and it is not easy for carriages to pass.

For the first time, Chang Liu saw a beast on the road.

It was a big scorpion with a huge body, and it was not afraid to see pedestrians.The personal soldiers were a little uneasy, and they took out their strong crossbows and made preparations, but Liu Chang was not afraid. He looked at the big scorpion curiously and looked very excited.

"This is Zhan! I've never seen it before, and he looks really strong!"

"Your Majesty! Do you want to shoot?"

Zhang Budo hurriedly asked.

Jia Yi shook his head, "Your Majesty, this season is not suitable for hunting."

Liu Chang watched for a moment, and immediately became furious, "How dare you stare at me!!" After speaking, Liu Chang wanted to go down to find Nai to fight, which frightened the few Shiren, they tightly Holding Liu Chang, Jia Yi shouted, "Your Majesty!! No way!! Shoot it! Shoot it anyway!"

It's a pity that when they stopped the king, Dazhao left here swaggeringly.

Liu Chang got on the horse, still a little angry, "Didn't you see it? That Dazhu was actually staring at me just now! He didn't take me seriously at all! If you stopped me, I'd have to give it a punch!"

"Your Majesty, Zhu is ignorant of etiquette, don't blame him, let alone that old Zhu is strong."

After everyone persuaded, just now they comforted Liu Chang.

At this moment, Lu Jia suddenly said: "In the beginning, Wang Liao of Wu had a son named Qingji. The son Qingji was extremely powerful and fearless. He once went out hunting and fought a female rhinoceros with his bare hands and captured it. The king knew about him. How did you die?"

Liu Chang asked curiously, "I don't know, how did he die?"

"He was killed by a severely disabled man!"

"Ah? Leave? I remembered!"

"Your Majesty still knows. Qingji thought he was brave and acted arrogantly, so he died under his arrogance."

"The bravery of the king today is the same as that of the son Qingji. I just hope that the king will not follow suit."

Liu Chang looked unhappy and asked, "At the time my master had a client named Kuai Che, do you know how he died?"

"do not know."

"When I learned the art of war with my master, he kept telling me about the past, and he satirized the past with the present, so he was killed by me!"

"I hope you don't follow suit!"

Lu Jia's face was dark, and he didn't pay any attention to the stubby.

Liu Chang and the others didn't know how long they had walked, traversing mountains and mountains, crossing the water by boat, and finally came to the original Jing Kingdom, but now there is no Jing Kingdom, only Zhang County.The King of Chu did not come to meet him, but the King of Wu.

King Wu also just returned to Wu State, and the two brothers meet again.

King Wu was still very happy. Although he was not very good at expressing his emotions, he was still very excited.

"Eldest brother.. I didn't do anything to prepare. I just gathered some soldiers and prepared the boat. Father Zhong is mobilizing the army."

Liu Chang nodded, Wu Guo had no strength, and he had to rely on Chu country to do it.

"Has Zhao Tuo ever sent someone here?"

"He has sent people here many times to discuss where to meet."

"Well, the location is up to us!"

"Ah."

Liu Chang called Liu Buha and ordered: "You go and ask the generals of Wu State to see where the terrain is the flattest and it is not easy to escape. I heard that Zhao Tuo and the others don't have any war horses. We will make good use of them. at this point!"

"only!!"

"Luanbu, you go to contact Zhang Junwei and let him pick out five hundred warriors who are familiar with the terrain and are strong and good at fighting!"

"only!!"

"Zhang Budo, you go and contact the King of Chu!"

"Tell me, Father Zhong, and ask him to bring the army into Wu State in advance. Don't make any noise. When I capture Zhao Tuo, I will rush over and listen to my orders!"

"only!"

"Jibu, you are responsible for escorting that Lu Jia."

"only!"

Liu Chang quickly ordered, Wu Wang looked at him enviously, Liu Chang ordered everyone, and then he moved his muscles and muscles, smiled and said to Wu Wang: "I met Zhao Tuo this time, when the banquet was held. , I will take the opportunity to lure him to rebel, if the plan is feasible, then annihilate the army he attacked, if the plan is not feasible, then I will catch him on the spot, take him back to Wu State, and wait for his soldiers to go out to rescue Zhao Tuo. At that time, we took the opportunity to defeat his army on the familiar terrain and take the whole of South Vietnam!"

Liu You said with some worry: "It's very dangerous."

Liu Chang said proudly: "I heard that Zhao Tuo is old and weak, and the widow is young and strong. What danger can it be to catch him?"
