Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 276 That is Emperor Gao's singing
The Nanyue envoy sat in front of Liu Chang uneasy.

Luan Bu stood aside, also staring at the envoy.

Seeing the frightened appearance of the other party, Liu Chang couldn't help sneering.

"This envoy, you don't want to see the tragic situation of Nanyue's corpse being buried with millions of blood for thousands of miles?"

Liu Chang didn't hide it at all, and when he spoke, it was a threat.

The envoy was shocked and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Nanyue is on good terms with Dahan, and my Majesty is even close to you."

"Have relatives? How is it compared to King Qi? King Qi is also a close relative, but he is stingy, and he is unwilling to give the county to the widow to build a garden palace! The widow abolished his throne and ordered the general Jibu to take someone to kill him. His minister! How is Nanyue compared to Qi? How is Nanyue's king compared to Qi's king?"

Liu Chang asked fiercely.

The Nanyue envoy just shivered, his back was cold, and he was speechless.

In fact, when he heard that Liu Chang was in power, the first reaction of the King of Nanyue was not happiness, but fear.The strength of Nanyue is no better than that of the Huns, and the surrounding countries of Changsha and Wu continue to strengthen their national strength, and the situation in Nanyue is becoming more and more dangerous.

The big man's crusade against South Vietnam is not because the two sides are not on the same level in terms of population base. It is a struggle between a strong man and a child. However, the place where the child stays is too dangerous, and the strong man is also at risk of contracting diseases.Liu Bang did not think of crusades against South Vietnam, because he felt that destroying South Vietnam would do more harm than good.And Liu Ying didn't do this, just because she simply hated the war and didn't want to start another war.

Empress Lu had the idea of ​​swallowing Nanyue, but she still had to be concerned about the Xiongnu, and the ministers persuaded him to dispel such thoughts.

As for Liu Chang, Zhao Tuo knew too well what this thing was.

This fellow completely ignores the pros and cons. If the Nanyue country is weak, he will definitely attack, and he will not pay attention to whether there are any risks. As for the persuasion of the ministers, can Shuzi listen to it?He only listens to half of the advice of the ministers that is beneficial to him, but if he doesn't want to hear it, he completely ignores it.

After Liu Chang came to power, indeed, the situation was a little different.

Wu Guo suddenly put away his original peace, and Liu Heng began to train the army, and from time to time he would "hunt" in front of several important border gates in South Vietnam.

The King of Changsha is a soft-hearted man, but his prime minister, Guan Ying, is a murderer. He often stirs up troubles on the border of South Vietnam and beats the generals of South Vietnam, which is completely forcing the King of South Vietnam to rebel.

In the past, the neighbors around the Nanyue Kingdom were all coaxing Zhao Tuo with good words. They only hoped that the old man would not cause trouble for him, but now, they are persecuting Zhao Tuo in a different way. Turn your face with yourself, and chop off a few people's heads.

The appearances of the generals mostly follow their monarchs.

During Liu Bang's period, most of the local generals were cunning. During Liu Ying's period, they were very gentle. During Liu Chang's period, they degenerated into barbarians.

Not only in South Vietnam, but also in other places, the top and bottom are effective. The generals at the border often go out to provoke, which is to highlight the words "reckless and horizontal".Probably because they all know that if they do this, they will not be punished by Chang Liu, and maybe they will be rewarded. After all, Chang Liu doesn't like how they behave too cowardly.

Faced with more and more frequent provocations, the King of Nanyue has a headache. There is really no one in Nanyue, and the only one who can be regarded as a famous general is probably Zhao Tuo himself. Can't let Zhao Tuo lead the army himself?At his age, he still wants to touch Guan Ying?
Zhao Tuo felt that there was no need for this, so he hurriedly sent someone to Chang'an to show his love to Liu Chang.

When the envoy was leaving, Zhao Tuo told the envoy earnestly and earnestly that in the face of Chang Liu, you should praise him more. If you praise him comfortably, the country of Nanyue will be much better off.

"Your Majesty is a wise king. Your virtue is unprecedented, even a wise man like Yao and Shun can't match it."

After the envoy was speechless, he immediately used the method taught by Zhao Tuo to lick the words.

When the envoy praised him like this, Liu Chang suddenly looked happy and looked at him expectantly.

"Hahaha~~~"

"cough."

Standing on the side, Luan Bu hurriedly cleared his throat, interrupting Liu Chang who was smiling smirkly, Liu Chang hurriedly reacted, and said with a straight face, "It's no use praising the widow! I hate flatterers!"

The envoy hurriedly said: "My minister is just telling the truth, how can you flatter the king? Who would dare to flatter in front of a wise man like the king? When I came, the king of my family told me that in the past, I had a relationship with the great man. There are many misunderstandings, but now it is the king to govern the Han, so we must show the greatest respect to the Han. The king is both civil and military. When more than a thousand people defeated the Huns and chased away in the army, who knows? Who? How dare you disrespect the king?"

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang laughed again.

"Your Majesty. Let's get down to business."

Luan Bu reminded again.

"Yes, we also talked about the South Vietnam thing, to show our respect, how can one county be enough?"

"Your Majesty! My country of Nanyue is weak, not as strong as Tang, nor has a territory like the Great Han, no wise king like the Great King to govern, no worthy ministers like the Great King's subordinates to assist, nor is the Great King the brave champion of the three armies. The commander-in-chief. The bravery of the king is invincible in the world."

Although this envoy was timid, he could speak very fast, and he always used various methods to blow Liu Chang down, making him flirtatious.

Luan Bu sneered and said: "Of course, when Chang'an was chased by Cao Xiang, when he was chased by Ji Cong outside the fortress, and when Jing State captured the young king and the old prime minister, the king's bravery was already admired by the world. Got it."

Liu Chang glared at Luan Bu, but the envoy didn't dare to brag any more, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty should know the national conditions of Nanyue, the Majesty is Xunzi and then passed down, Huang Laodi came out, the vein of the military family, the legal family sages, the world still has Is there anyone who is more learned than the great king? The great king's influence on the knowledge of the hundred schools of thought, and the influence on the sages of later generations, has survived for thousands of generations!"

Luan Bu nodded, "It's true, the king's actions have a great effect on the sages of later generations. The king has probably done almost everything that Qian Shihun can do. In the future, ministers want to use allusions to satirize that time. It's good to quote the king directly, it can be said to have a huge influence!"

The envoy looked at Luan Bu helplessly. Although this king is a donkey, the guy under his command is really powerful, and he blocked his mouth with a few words.

Liu Chang glanced at Luan Bu, and his face became serious again, "Let's get down to business!"

"Your Majesty, Nanyue is no more than three counties. We would like to dedicate one county to build a garden palace for Your Majesty, collect the rare and exotic animals and all the treasures in the south, and let your Majesty enjoy them! Even if it is given to the king, it is of no use."

"Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, just give it to me and it's over!"

"Your Majesty, Nanyue is willing to fully obey the orders of your Majesty. Your Majesty can send the Minister of State to manage the affairs of Nanyue, and you can open border gates and no longer fortify the big Han."

The envoy spoke again, and this time, Luan Bu was a little moved. If this is the case, then Nanyue has really become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. This is a way. Today's big man wants to recover and govern South Vietnam. He has to pay a price. If he can recover in this way
Just when Luan Bu was a little moved, Liu Chang showed extreme toughness.

"Three counties, none of them can be missing!"

"Otherwise, the widows will set off tomorrow to destroy you in Nanyue, and the whole country will be executed without any chickens and dogs!"

"I ask you, to give or not to give? To fight or not to fight?"

"Your Majesty!!!"

"To fight or not to fight?!"

Liu Chang asked loudly, but Luan Bu got up and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask the envoy to go back and think about it."

Liu Chang waved his hand, and the envoy left. After he left, Luan Bu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if Nanyue can truly surrender, it will be beneficial to the big man. Why does the majesty want to be aggressive? How can a county be compared to making Nanyue a vassal of the whole country?"

"Luan Bu, you can see that he has promised to become ministers to the whole country. This is definitely very afraid of us, and it also shows that they have no confidence to fight against us."

"At a time like this, we have to keep persecuting them!"

Liu Chang said confidently.

Luan Bu also had a more intuitive understanding of the king's "bullying" character.

"But, Your Majesty, the big man is short of food."

"It's the same sentence again! Lack of grain, lack of grain, lack of grain!! I am a big man with countless arable land, why is there always a shortage of grain?!"

Luan Bu glanced at Liu Chang. It wasn't because you cut taxes and didn't listen to advice. What can you do?

Probably also noticed Luan Bu's look, Liu Chang asked unnaturally: "Do you think this has something to do with the tax reduction for widows?"

"Sigh Your Majesty, the tax reduction is a good thing. Although the temples are suffering a little bit, the people are much better. However, in the future, Your Majesty will need to ask the ministers to make a policy. You can't make a direct decision. Your Majesty does not allow the courtiers to speak, and then he blames them. The ministers did not persuade themselves, the king should follow the example of King Wei of Qi..."

"Imitate King Qi Wei? Who is Doctor Acheng today?"

Luan Bu's face darkened, "I asked the king to imitate King Qi Wei's ability to listen to advice, not to let the king imitate him to cook the doctor in Acheng!!"

"People in the world govern history by learning from those who are good and admonishing themselves with those who are evil. Why does the great king want to learn from those who are evil and exhort him with those who are good?"

"Hahaha, Luan Sheren, don't be angry, widowers are all jokes!"

"Ah, what is your Majesty going to do with South Vietnam?"

Liu Chang became serious, "I accept them when they give gifts, but the policy towards South Vietnam cannot be changed. They are giving gifts now because the kingdom of Wu and Changsha are becoming more and more prosperous, especially the kingdom of Wu and Yuzhang County in the kingdom of Wu. There is a mine that produces copper, so the fourth brother recruited desperadoes from all over the world to cast money here, and boil the sea water to make salt in the east.

"Even Chu's national strength is no longer comparable to Wu's. If this goes on, the fourth brother will be able to destroy Nanyue sooner or later by his own ability."

"Although Changsha is not as wealthy as Wu, Guanhou can train more soldiers and often plunder barbarians from all over the world who come to Changsha for farming and sooner or later they will be able to face South Vietnam alone."

"Although Zhao Tuo is strong, if he encounters a few people, he is powerless!"

Liu Chang obviously had the idea of ​​destroying Nanyue, but Luan Bu put forward his own opinion, "Your Majesty, when it comes to warfare, the King of Nanyue is not as good as you and Guanying, when it comes to governing the place and winning the hearts of the people, he is not as good as the King of Wu, but when it comes to education. Barbarians, no one can match Zhao Tuo's influence in Nanyue, why didn't the king reuse Zhao Tuo and use him to expand the Han's territory further south?"

"Zhao Tuo is related to the king, he is talented, and the barbarians in the south are willing to obey him. The king uses the king of Wu as a shield and the king of Nanyue as a sword. Who would dare to disrespect the king in the southern kingdom? Zhao Tuo has no intention of competing with the king, he All he thinks is that he wants to protect his country and clan, and let the sacrifices continue."

"Wouldn't it be better if the king could tolerate him, turn South Vietnam into a country of Han, send troops from South Vietnam, and expand territory?"

Luan Bu caught Liu Chang's great joy and likes to expand his territory, so he persuaded him from this aspect. Liu Chang couldn't help but ponder, "But, will Zhao Tuo really surrender?"

"Why not? He is also an outstanding man, and he naturally knows the truth. Now the Han is strong, the people are prosperous, and the country is thriving. The North is the Huns, the East is destroying Korea, the West is connecting the Western Regions, the Wu State and Changsha State are strong, and the Chu State and Qi State are Their backup, the domestic generals are ferocious, and there is a Taiwei like Han Xin to command the army, and a wise king like the king sits in charge, how dare he not submit?"

In the last paragraph, Luan Bu said it very reluctantly. After all, he is not Zhang Budo, so there is no way for him to speak nonsense so smoothly.

Liu Chang grinned, "Yes, just do it!"

"However, I have to ask a person what he thinks."

"Your Majesty finally knows how to ask for advice from others." Luan Bu was a little surprised and asked, "Who to ask?"

"My master, Marquis of Huaiyin!"

Liu Chang stepped into the Taiwei's mansion, and what caught his eye was a group of busy officials. The original Taiwei's mansion was relatively calm for a long time, and there were not too many things to do until When Han Xin arrived, things became completely different. Han Xin was different from Zhang Cang in that he did what he said he would do. In the short period of time after he became a Taiwei, Han Xin had accomplished several great things one after another.

He cleaned up a group of generals. The reason for the cleanup was that these people had no military merit, and they took the important positions entirely by virtue of their father's title. He immediately promoted a large group of young people. Among them, the one that Han Xin valued the most was one of the sages. The Zhou Yafu, who was facing Han Xin's blatant exclusion of dissidents and the placement of cronies, made everyone extremely frightened.

This is to rebel.

After all, Han Xin has a criminal record. Just like Chang Liu, no matter what he does, everyone will think that he is trying to rebel.

After Han Xin completed the blood change in the army, he re-deployed the current Dahan army according to his own ideas, mainly in Longxi, Beidi and other places, slightly reducing the army in Yunzhongdai Yanmen and other places. The strategy is tilted towards the northwest.

When Liu Chang came into the inner room, Han Xin was busy writing orders. Han Xin was unscrupulous and did not worry about whether he would be suspected. He even dared to skip Liu Changlai and order such a move to the army. If someone else came, Liu Changfei would blow him up. But in the face of Master, Liu Chang is still very tolerant.

"Master! What are you writing?"

"Bashu is in chaos!"

Han Xin didn't lift his head, and continued, "This is a good opportunity to train the young and strong in the army. I'm going to let Zhou Yafu take the young generals to fight the rebellion."

"what?"

Liu Chang asked in surprise: "It's just a few hundred people making trouble, do you need to send so many people?"

Han Xin glanced at Liu Chang, "If you are a local county governor, and there are rebels in your jurisdiction, will you tell the truth or try to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible?"

"Well, I understand, but, even if it is reduced, it will only be a thousand people."

"Bashu is full of savage people. These people have always made troubles from time to time. From Emperor Gao to now, there has been no complete peace in Bashu. Now the land of Bashu is full of food. I plan to take this opportunity to give Bashu a hundred years of peace."

Liu Chang immediately understood what Han Xin meant, he nodded, "Okay, then let them go."

"Master, I have come to discuss with you an important matter. An envoy has been sent from Nanyue."

Liu Chang told Luan Bu's words earnestly, the only difference was that what Luan Bu said turned into what a few people thought.

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Han Xin said without hesitation: "Recharge your energy and nibble step by step, you can keep his clan and sacrifice, but his country must be completely under your control, it is best to bring Zhao Tuo to Chang'an. Come, or move to Wu, so that he can't govern South Vietnam, but keep his throne!"

Liu Chang nodded thoughtfully, but Han Xin said displeasedly: "South Vietnam is just a trivial matter, you don't need to do it yourself. What you should consider is the Western Regions. Now all the countries in the Western Regions have fallen to the Huns, I am going to send troops to crusade. Congee and Wusun, let them lose control in the Western Regions, if the Western Regions are completely open to them, then Chang'an will be in danger. Longxi must be managed well"

Compared with Nanyue, Han Xin was more interested in the Western Regions. Under Han Xin's conception, all parts of the Han Dynasty had the Great Wall and dangerous terrain to guard against powerful enemies. Only the Western Regions were a big hole. If the Xiongnu completely occupied the Western Regions, then In the future, they will have more options for sending troops. Their cavalry is extremely fast, and the defense line of the big man will be longer. They will be harassed on all sides, which is very unfavorable to the big man. Therefore, the Western Regions must be in the hands of the big man as soon as possible. inside.

"Okay, now. The food is a little short. Master will wait. Soon, I will be able to gather the food. At that time, I will be the pioneer, and the master will be the commander. Let's fight Ji Conge and Wusun together!"

After coming out of Han Xin, Liu Chang had a plan in his heart.

At the same time, on this day, the sinners who were escorted from Qi State were also beheaded for public display.

Although Cao Cheng was not beheaded, Liu Chang abolished his marquis, which made him think at home.

Ji Bu officially took over the power of Qi State and began to replace Qi King to rectify Qi State.

In the dark of night, Liu Chang sat on the steps outside the Xuan chamber hall, looking at the bright moon in the distance, the cold wind gently caressing his body, he didn't feel cold, just felt refreshing.

"The wind is blowing~~ the clouds are flying~~"

"Wei Jiahai ~~~ back to my hometown~~~"

"Ander Mengshixi~~~ Guard the Quartet!!"

Luan Bu stood not far away and looked at Liu Chang who was singing softly.

He drew his sword and danced to the king's song.

The sword light is cold, and the singing is heroic.
