Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 323

Guiyang, the weather in the north has turned cold at this moment, but it is still relatively hot here.

If he had known that this place was so hot, Chang Liu would never have called the southern kings here to draw up a covenant.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Guiyang belonged to the disputed area between Changsha and Nanyue. Of course, it belongs to Changsha now. Nanyue people have no objection to this. Anyway, Liu Chang did not hear them say anything wrong. Right.

Now that the basic strategy for South Vietnam has been negotiated, Chang Liu is ready to formulate a grand strategy for the entire South.

Therefore, he deliberately chose Guiyang as the middle point, and asked Changsha, Chu, Wu, Nanyue, Minyue, Dongyue and other ministries to send people to come. He wanted to solve the problem in the south completely, and he did not want to spend too much time. The sun is in the south, because the enemy he wants to enter is in the north.

From Fujian and Vietnam to the south, there are basically uninterrupted mountains and forests. Liu Changji was sitting and standing in the car. He had long since lost his jacket, and he only stumbled. There were various kinds of fruits on the desk in front of him. , juice dripped from the corners of his mouth, and there were two maids kneeling on both sides to serve him. Just for this scene, if you can leave a picture, future generations will not need to examine it at all. At first glance, it is the unforgivable Dahunjun.

Liu Xiang, who followed behind, looked at Father Zhong enviously. This is the style of being a king!
Lu Lu, who was driving, had to look back at Liu Chang from time to time.

"Don't look at it, look at you again, you won't be able to cultivate such a strong meat as a widow!"

Liu Chang gestured to the bulging muscles, with scars all over his body, criss-crossing teeth, that strong and mighty body, the eyes of the two maids who served him were straight, and every now and then he thought that the king was wiping his mouth and reaching out his hand. , unintentionally touched the king's shoulder and arm
Liu Chang was very proud.

Lu Lu hesitated, "Your Majesty, why don't you change your sitting position?"

"What's your business with the widow?"

"No, Your Majesty, it's revealed."

"What's the matter with you if you reveal it?"

"No, Your Majesty, that's right in front of me."

"Oh"

Liu Chang calmed down a bit, and Lu Lu also calmed down and asked, "Your Majesty, have you already decided on the candidate for the Prime Minister of South Vietnam?"

"Not sure yet."

"Your Majesty, I have someone I can recommend."

Lu Lu said very seriously.

"Tell me."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of me?"

"Very well, driving is becoming more and more secure. Who do you recommend?"

"Oh it's alright."

The frame of the King of Nanyue was behind Liu Chang and the others. Zhao Tuo was sitting in the car, but his face was very calm. The reason why the Nanyue Kingdom was able to establish a country was mainly because of the weakness of the Han and the strength of the Huns. Once the Han became strong, The territory of Nanyue Kingdom and the population of this country are simply powerless to resist.

In the confrontation with the big Han, Zhao Tuo tried his best to leave room for the two sides to have a chance to relax. His son was not good, and although his grandson was not bad, he was weak and sick all the year round. He was not as good as Zhao Tuo. Robust, Zhao Tuo didn't know how long he could live. He was sure that once he was gone, Nanyue would not be able to bear it. The development of Dahan was getting faster and faster day by day, and even Wu State had surpassed Nanyue, and there was no hope.

Now he just wants to protect the Zhao clan, and wants the Zhao clan to continue its influence in South Vietnam, and has no other ideas.

If he was 20 years younger, maybe he would still have the idea of ​​competing with the big man in the south, but now, forget it.

When the crowd arrived in Guiyang, Liu Chang left the crowd behind and went to inspect the people's situation.

Zhao Tuo lived in the county governor's mansion with the support of others. Zhao Tuo was very familiar with this place. After all, it used to be his own territory. Zhao Tuo was also a murderer. Nanyue was abruptly condensed into a ball, and even opened up the territory to expand the land, attacking the barbarians further south with their heads and mice running. Until now, the barbarians further south still recognize Zhao Tuo as their ancestor.

After a thousand years, they hoped to change the name of the country, and specifically asked the emperor at that time to use Nanyue as the country name and Zhao Tuo as the first king.

Although the emperor at that time was also a barbarian, he was still very disdainful of these guys. Are you also worthy of touching porcelain Nanyue?Touch porcelain Zhao Tuo?

The hinterland of the Nanyue government is in Guangdong and Guangxi. You are just being subdued by him. What does a Zhao person who occupies the land in Liangguang and is the king have to do with you?The emperor, who did not want to reveal his name, changed the order of the names of South Vietnam they requested and became the current name.

But neither Zhao Tuo nor the barbarians under Zhao Tuo's command had anything to do with the group of people further south. Nanyue was in Guangdong and Guangxi, just went out to conquer and won some areas in the farther north.

Although the emperor, who did not want to be named, did not have much achievements, he was quite insightful in this matter. Sure enough, these self-confessed "South Vietnam" later clamored to return to the territory of South Vietnam.

When Liu Chang finished his day's inspection of the people's situation and returned to the prefect's mansion, Guanhou was waiting for him.

"Hahaha, Father Zhong!!!"

Liu Chang held Guan Ying's hand enthusiastically, but Guan Ying was very frightened by the sound of Father Zhong. The elders of the Han Dynasty were all suffering from the phobia of Father Zhong at the moment. The Jewish sons in the family will change their names in the future. They will simply be called uncles, not Zhongfu anymore.

Liu Chang can be regarded as the number one person who can complete the innovation of the title with one person.

Guan Ying's performance in this battle was very dazzling. After all, Fu Kuan only fought the big fool of Zhao Shi, while Guan Ying faced Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo took advantage of the terrain and fought Guan Ying. There were back and forth, but Guan Ying confronted Zhao Tuo in an unfamiliar place. He did not lose at all. He personally beheaded a few generals, and showed the Nanyue people what it means to be a ruthless man and a ruthless man. Merit ranked ninth!
Before Liu Chang came back, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhao Tuo and Guan Ying had just played against each other not long ago, and now they meet again.

Liu Chang saw this situation and pulled Guan Ying to sit beside Zhao Tuo.

"Hahaha, the widow thought it was the sixth brother who was coming in person, but you were unexpectedly the one who came."

Guan Ying's face was full of helplessness, "Your Majesty, one of his ministers is seriously ill, so he can't come."

Guan Ying didn't say it clearly, but Liu Chang almost understood it and asked, "I'm afraid it's a minister such as a servant?"

"These dogs are in the servants! It's full of filth!"

Guan Ying cursed in displeasure.

Lu Lu's face darkened and he decided to go out for a walk.

"Father Zhong, don't blame him. I ask you to blame him. You have done a great job this time. You can't do it without food."

Liu Chang said a few words, then pointed at Zhao Tuo and asked, "Father Zhong, what are the talents of this person?"

"It's not bad that the army is very strict, and there is no barbarian style, far more than Fujian, Yue, Dongyue and the like."

Facing Guan Ying's praise, Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Guan Hou leads the way, leads the way with the armored soldiers, charges from left to right, and fights for an hour without retreating. It really scared me, and I was almost captured by you!"

"Hahaha, what's this? Great Han generals, I'm just a person of moderation. If Cao Can, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Li Shang, they would have been headed by you long ago!"

Neither of them had a more sincere personality. With Liu Chang's help, they soon started chatting.

Guan Ying asked about Chang'an, but Guan A was the only one who didn't.

But Liu Chang didn't understand what he meant, and said seriously: "Guan A holds an important position under Liu Gong, and Liu Gong is full of praise for him. Now he can handle major affairs by himself. I heard that he is handling major affairs in Hexi."

"Liu Gong? Which Liu Gong?"

"Liu Jing."

"Oh"

Guan Ying nodded, "This stub is useless, I would like to trouble the king to take care of me."

"Please don't worry, he is not like before, and now he follows Liu Gong's blessing and family, and is deeply loved by the world's wealthy."

They waited here for a few days, and then people from other countries arrived in a hurry.

The state of Chu sent Wang Shou, the prime minister of the state, who was also a ruthless man. He used to be Liu Bang's valet. Later, he was successful in attacking Xiang Yu and made him a marquis. Liu Bang sent him to assist his younger brother, while the state of Wu came personally. The little king of Geyue naturally had to come in person.

But when these people all got together, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Before Liu Chang came, these people couldn't sit still.

"Zhao Tuo!!!"

The prince of Minyue widened his eyes angrily. Minyue first turned to Wu, and in the battle with Nanyue, he became Wu's servant army. Minyue and Nanyue have always had great contradictions. Before Tuo came to Nanyue, the two sides were in a perennial fight. Nanyue people often grabbed Minyue people to cook food, and the two sides fought hard.

Zhao Tuo often suppressed Minyue in the future, and wanted to turn Minyue into his first line of defense against Dahan. If it wasn't for Liu Heng's arrival, Zhao Tuo almost did it.

The grandfather of the Prince of Minyue, who was in the process of crusade against Nanyue, was shot and died.

At this moment, he suddenly encountered the enemy who killed his father. Prince Minyue's eyes were red, he roared, he drew his long sword and rushed over.

Guan Ying was startled, but before he could react, the man rushed to Zhao Tuo's side.

At that moment, Zhao Tuo flexibly retreated, dodged the opponent's stab, swung the cane in his hand, and slammed it on the opponent's temple. The Prince of Minyue fell to the ground immediately. It was an old man who needed to be on crutches. When he saw the Prince of Minyue fell to the ground, several valetes who followed him rushed up with a shout. In front of him, he waved his crutches, and immediately beat the four people down.

The four fell to the ground, and Zhao Tuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in fear, "It's really dangerous. I'm about to die at the hands of these young people."

Guan Ying's mouth twitched.

Just now, for a moment, he felt that he couldn't beat the old man. This shot was really fast and ruthless, and the few fast walks couldn't tell that he was an old man at all.

King Wu hurriedly got up and asked the doctor to call for a doctor, while Zhao Tuo looked at the people from the various tribes who had a bad face, suddenly changed his face, and asked displeasedly, "Why does such a thing happen?"

"The king called us here to discuss important matters, but these people have messed up the overall situation because of private matters!"

"The old man knows that most of the people here have hatred against the old man!"

"Oh, although the old man is famous, he is not easy to deceive."

"If there are still enemies with me, you can do it now, the old man alone is enough."

Zhao Tuo glanced at the barbarians, and these people were immediately frightened. Zhao Tuo knew the characters of these people. Most of these people were the helpers of Nanyue. Feet, it just so happens that Liu Chang is not here, so I can use this to deter these thieves.

"Although this old man has experienced hundreds of battles, he is not afraid of anyone. All the gentlemen here."

Just when Zhao Tuo was threatening these barbarians secretly, Liu Chang walked in and looked at Zhao Tuo suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Oh it's all right."

"Your Majesty, just now the Minyue people attacked the old man and wanted to kill me."

Guan Ying stepped forward and told Liu Chang about the situation just now in a low voice. Liu Chang nodded, and Zhao Tuo was still reluctant, "Your Majesty, you have to decide for the Nanyue people."

"Okay, okay, I will call the shots!"

Liu Chang waved his hand and sat in the upper seat, and the rest of the people got up to pay their respects.

The musicians began to play and sing, and Liu Chang motioned everyone to sit down.

"Since the widow has been in power, if you go north, you will open up the land of Hexi, and if you go to the east, you will destroy the kingdoms of Korea. No one can stop the widow's army. Just like that, after the chariots are lined up, there is no end in sight! Throwing the whip into the river can cut off the water flow! Beating the drums is like thunder! When charging, it is like the ground moving!"

"Now the widow is in the south, is there anyone who doesn't follow?"

Liu Chang came with a stern face, looked fierce, and asked in a loud voice, but the king of Zhuyue was frightened to his knees, and they immediately bowed: "There is no one who dares not obey the king."

Liu Chang also said: "The few people leave Chang'an, and the officials along the road go out to visit the city. The king does not dare to occupy a high position. Today, the southern part is surrendered. Even if a bird or a beast encounters me, it must bow its head and become a minister. Those who do not obey will be punished!!"

After throwing out a few tyrant remarks, Liu Chang just looked at Zhao Tuo.

"The King of Nanyue has made great contributions to his country, and he will not be removed from his throne, so that he can help the country's prime minister."

Hearing this sentence, the people of Zhuyue became a little anxious. In the south of Wu State, there are many barbarians. These people are distinguished by tribes. Some have established a country, and some are still hunting, while Liu Bang No matter how big or small they are, as long as they are willing to surrender, they will be recognized and let them compete to their heart's content.

Nanyue has always been suppressing them, wanting to integrate them and make them like the barbarians in Nanyue, and educate them. Does the big man still support him?Why can't I change to a better person, such as myself?

They wanted to refute Liu Chang and persuade Liu Chang, but looking at Liu Chang's expression and remembering what he said just now, no one dared to muster up the courage to oppose it.

Zhao Tuo immediately took command.

"King Tang, the King of Nanyue is old now, and I am afraid that he is incapable of governing the country. It is best to send a capable prime minister to assist him."

The only one who dared to speak was naturally Wu Wang Liu Heng.

When it comes to business affairs, Liu Heng is also called King Tang, and Liu Chang asked, "Can you recommend it?"

Liu Heng nodded and said seriously: "I recommend Shen Tujia, the governor of Huaiyang County! This person can be the Prime Minister of Nanyue. In addition, the widow is willing to send Censor Chao Cuo to Nanyue to assist the King of Nanyue."

"Shen Tujia?"

"Where are you from?"

Liu Chang asked slowly.

"This person is from Liang, and he is young. He used to follow Emperor Gao as an ordinary soldier and attacked Xiang Yu. He was promoted to a team leader because of his military achievements. Later, he followed General Xiahou to attack the rebel army of Tubu, and was promoted to captain, and then followed the crusade with Hou Huaiyin. The Xiongnu, the feudal lord, is now the governor of the county."

The two brothers sang together here, and Liu Chang also showed a surprised expression, "It must be extraordinary to be promoted to the governor of the county by Jiashi."

"Okay, let this person be the prime minister of the country."

Liu Chang made a decision and looked at everyone again, "I'm a big man, and I have always been rewarded for merit. No matter what background, as long as you can make military contributions for the big man, you can get promoted. The few people are treated equally, and the people of Baiyue are all in this way!"

"Thank you king!"

Liu Chang decided on several canonizations, rewarded a large number of Nanyue ministers to appease them, and then talked with Wang Su of Chu State about the whole of the south.

"The king of Chu is the elder of the widow, and the state of Chu is the leader of the southern states. In the future, you can ask the king of Chu first, and then make a decision. This time, the widow will travel from north to south, and see the road going south, with little arable land and fierce beasts. There are many, far less powerful enemies like the Xiongnu in the north and the south, and the widow decides to reduce or exempt the taxes of the southern country and govern the southern country.

"Wu Wang is the elder brother of the widow, and the widow also admires his talents. The king of Chu is old and can check it on his behalf, and the decision-making is still up to the king of Wu!"

Liu Heng was stunned, why is this different from what we discussed earlier?

But in front of so many people, it was impossible for Liu Heng to refute Liu Chang, so he pinched his nose and recognized it.

Liu Chang immediately announced several orders. Compared with the complicated situation in the north, the strategy of the south is very simple. Governance, before connecting the north and the south, it is still necessary to integrate the south first, so that they can connect with each other first. With the king as the core, and the king of Chu as the supervisor, we will unite all countries to develop together, so that they can unite as soon as possible.

After reading all the orders, Chang Liu ordered the animals to be slaughtered, and the meat was divided among the people, so that they made an oath to fulfill many of Chang Liu's orders.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to rest, but King Wu stayed behind.

Liu Heng was very helpless to Liu Chang, who always cheated on his brother.

"Chief. Do you think that you have too many older brothers when you think of me as the leader of the southern country?"

"Hahaha, what is the fourth brother talking about? Looking at the south of the Yangtze River, other than the fourth brother, who else can manage it for me?"

"Didn't you say that the king of Chu should be the leader?"

"Father Zhong is old, fourth brother, do you have the heart to see Father Zhong working so hard?"

"Fourth brother! How can you bear it!"

Liu Chang asked bitterly.

Liu Heng frowned and pondered for a long time, "Okay, since you trust me so much, then let me govern. However, all countries may not obey me. If I want to govern, then give it to the ministers who participated in the concert. Quan, but also allow me to go to various countries, I can't seal and go out of Shiyi. Otherwise, the king of Chu will still be the leader."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, the widow has agreed!"

Liu Chang grinned and asked in a low voice, "Fourth brother, what did I just say? Is it domineering enough? Just for what I said today, I specially held this banquet!"

"That's why you asked me to bring Taishi Ling??"

"Yes, yes, my own Taishi Ling is not reliable. Later generations will write histories for the widowers, and they will definitely collect historical materials everywhere. If they are as domineering as the widowers, it is recorded in the history books that the later generations will admire the widowers. !"

Liu Chang said triumphantly.
