Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 459 Ran An Knows How Expensive a Prisoner Is?

"Liu Gong is a minister respected by the widow, but his method cannot be implemented in the south."

Liu Heng sat in the upper seat and talked about his own views, "It is not the wealthy family that we want to migrate, but Yu Ding. It is not appropriate to take too strong measures. The King of Jiaodong wrote that he is willing to send Jia soldiers to escort Yu Ding in the country to the south. , the widow did not agree."

"At the beginning, the Qin State adopted such a method to mobilize 10 people to go south, which immediately led to public grievances. Those people who left their hometowns occupied places, blocked the checkpoints, established themselves as kings, and pretended to be emperors. This proves that such a method is not feasible, by the way, you are most familiar with this matter, what do you think?"

Zhao Tuo grinned, and Liu Heng was taken aback, this smirk was familiar to him.

Now he seemed to know the source of this smirk.

Zhao Tuo replied: "King Jiaodong is His Majesty's brother and is most loved by His Majesty, but even so, he is only a prince, and now the temple has to administer benevolent government, if he dares to send a soldier to forcibly escort Yu Ding to the south, then he will Just like those people who defied the heavenly order with the land of pill pills, sooner or later they will bring disaster to themselves. Therefore, if the local princes and kings have to do things, it is better to obey the heavenly order, and it is not advisable to make their own decisions."

"When I came here, His Majesty once said to me: The southern country is so bad, the northerners are not used to it."

"Therefore, at present, we should place the migrating people in Chu, Nanjun, Si and other places. These areas that were originally managed by the state of Chu have little language differences and no differences in living habits. All my current thoughts are: South in batches."

"It doesn't necessarily mean that people from the north will be migrated directly to places such as Jiaozhi, as long as the world has such a southward trend."

"Northern people are very afraid of the southern country, and they all believe that this is the land of barbarians, and they will die."

"Haoqiang learned that he was going to the south, and he was more afraid than going to Hexi"

Liu Heng laughed lightly, "Please, Your Majesty, take a look at this."

Liu Heng took out the paper and handed it to Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo took it and read it for a while, "Di Bao?"

"Yes, this is called the "Nanbao", which is a permission that I specially obtained from Your Majesty. Although it is called the "Nanbao", it is to be published with the North."

Zhao Tuo casually glanced at it, put it down in disdain, and shook his head, "Your Majesty has taken great pains to introduce the fertile fields of the southern country, the ease of life, and the useless and useless government of reducing taxes and no servitude."

"Oh? Why is it useless?"

"Because the king's newspaper is not the government of the temple, it is impossible for the officials to preach to the people, so only those scholars can come into contact with them. For these people who can value the newspaper, how can they care about the cultivated land in the southern country? What is it, taxes and life are not what they are after, the direction of the king's preaching is wrong!"

"Oh? What should the widow preach?"

"Your Majesty should preach about yourself."

"Ok??"

Zhao Tuo said seriously: "When the people of the world care about whether they can be reused or not, they should use Nanbao to show that Nanguo tolerates many schools, supports schools, can help them compile books, teach people, and more importantly, show the king. In the past, the king of Chu loved virtuous people, and he was deeply loved by scholars all over the world. People came from thousands of miles to defect to him. The country of Chu was once a country of barbarians and became a great country of culture and education. of."

"The same is true of Wu, Changsha, and Nanyue today. If you can change the views of the scholars, then the rest of the common people are just like others, and they have no opinion. The scholars say that the state of Wu is good. If the scholars say that the state of Wu is not good, even if the state of Wu is good, it will be useless!"

Liu Heng was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhao Tuo, "I'm not Father Zhong. If I take the initiative to win over scholars from all over the world, I'm afraid it would be a bit inappropriate."

Zhao Tuo was furious, "What are you talking about? Your Majesty has an order, as a minister, you will go through fire and water, whatever you do! As His Majesty's elder brother, why don't you do things that are beneficial to His Majesty for your own sake? Is it?! I regard you as a virtuous king, why should I cherish my body?!”

Liu Heng couldn't help laughing, "You're right."

"However, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is the negotiation of local officials."

"I have written letters with the six county governors. They will be responsible for preaching, and I will send someone to escort Yu Ding to come. The matter of the Central Plains is beyond the reach of a few people. You are from Zhao, and you must have great ideas?"

"Of course there are. I came here this time with the strategy of garrisoning the fields. There are enemies in the north, so we have to guard the border to resist. In the south of the few people, there is also a powerful country like Funan. Don't you need to guard the border? I am going to invite the temple. It doesn’t take much to defend the frontier in Nankai, as long as 7 to [-] people are enough, in addition to the military settlements, it is natural to organize a large number of landless soldiers from the northern kingdom to go to South Vietnam for intensive reclamation.”

"In that case, all these fields are carried out in South Vietnam."

Zhao Tuo looked at Liu Heng in astonishment, "Nanyue is a country that is familiar for more than a year, with a vast territory and rich resources, and there are foreign enemies. Naturally, it will be carried out in South Vietnam. I was in the DPRK and the ministers objected several times, believing that South Vietnam is not a Han country. , was captured by Tingwei, wouldn't the king think so too?"

Liu Heng squinted his eyes, "Of course not, but you said it yourself, the northerners are not suitable for Nanyue, and the southerners are in the hearts of the northerners, it is a real wild land, why don't you arrange these people in Wu country, I will I will send Yu Ding of Wu State to you for reclamation. It is also in exchange for the army and the widows are helpless. I can only hope that there will not be too many casualties. If the casualties are large, Your Majesty will not be able to sit still."

The two reached a consensus on many things, from how to migrate the people, how to arrange the migration, how to carry out the two important farms, how to carry out reasonable development, etc. When Liu Heng heard that Zhao Tuo was going to burn the mountain, the whole person was stunned. They were all taken aback. Liu Heng did not approve of such behavior. The price was too high, but Zhao Tuo was very determined. He set up an isolation zone and then burned the mountain. This was the most effective development carried out by the Nanyue Kingdom. government.

The two have the same ideas on many issues. Of course, they also argue on some issues without giving each other at all.

The banquet continued into the evening, and Zhao Tuo returned to the inner room exhausted.

He didn't pretend this time, he was really tired, the attendant hurried forward, changed his clothes, brought hot water, and wiped his body, Zhao Tuo said displeased; I am willing to deal with this fellow. When talking to this fellow, we must be very careful with every word. If a word is wrong, if he catches the handle, it will be punished to death. There are so many people in their clan, but this fellow is the most similar. The Queen Mother!"

"There is something in the words, and every word is a trap. How can there be such a difficult person? He can still talk about the key point in every word. I'm so angry!!"

"The matter of the newspaper, didn't the king tell the benefits? King Wu is not as good as you!"

"Bullshit! The widow has become a suggestion for him, is it better than the widow? He is going to decide the priority and directly turn the widow into his advisor!"

The valet didn't understand a little, but he thought it was very powerful.

"Your Majesty came here this time, originally to do things for His Majesty, and he has no other intentions, so why bother with King Wu, it's better to listen to him."

Zhao Tuo smiled disdainfully, "I haven't seen it before, how can I lose to a hairy boy? Besides, it's also a sharp sword, and it has its length. I am the main force of Nanyue, and with the advantages of Nanyue, if I can get the help of the temple, I will definitely be a wealthy country like Liang in the future.

At this moment, Liu Heng also returned to the hall and gently rubbed his forehead.

Mrs. Dou stood behind him and helped him knead.

"Your Majesty, did the meeting go smoothly?"

"This old man is really good and I couldn't win this guy, but he has some skills. I have never seen such a difficult opponent, but he will obey me sooner or later!"

Mrs. Dou smiled bitterly, "Why should the king compete with him? He is already very old, and if something happens, it will be bad."

"Older?? I think he is stronger than the widowers! Although Nanyue is also a Han country, but there are too many foreign races, it is still dominated by Wu State. First develop Wu, and then govern Yue. There are too many people, so Wu and Changsha can't be suppressed, his surname is Zhao, and the Han people live together, so he can't help it!"

As the two largest vassal kings in the south, the two hold the same opinion on the issue of developing the southern kingdom. They are natural allies, but they both have great ambitions, and they are both unwilling to be driven by others. It is to maintain their own ideas and refuse to give in. This is the contradiction between them.

However, in general, there is no problem with the two of them working together, but they will be a little tired, and they have to be careful of being bitten at all times.

From the north to the south of Dahan, the situation gradually became clear.

The southern part is a duel between two ruthless men, and the northern part is a group of barbarians who are desperately trying to die. Except for Liu Qi, none of them are reliable.

Of course, the most unreliable one is in Chang'an.

"Mom!! Don't stop me today, I have to execute Zhou Bo!!"

Liu Chang said angrily.

"Send troops without notice, this guy is addicted to beheading, I have to let him try what it feels like to be beheaded!!"

Empress Lu looked at Liu Chang very calmly, and then nodded.

"it is good."

Liu Chang stopped abruptly.

"No, mother, you have to pretend to be a good person, you have to persuade me, I want to kill the founding minister, how can you say yes?"

Empress Lu replied calmly: "As a prince of a vassal state, sending troops privately is a capital offense, so it is enough to execute him directly. Why is it so troublesome?"

Liu Chang patted his thigh and said helplessly: "But after all, he is Zhou Bo, a great Han Marquis, who has fought in the South and the North for so many years, and has made great achievements. He is definitely going to be placed in the Zhongxin Pavilion. It is a loyal minister, he is still Yafu, Shengzhi, Jian's father."

"Do you want to kill him like this?"

Empress Lu gave him a disdainful look, "Be kind and gentle, it's hard to achieve great things."

Liu Chang pursed his lips, completely dispelling the idea of ​​cooperating with his grandmother. According to Liu Chang's idea, he should show a particularly angry look, and then he will execute Zhou Bo. There is a man of the same status as himself. He came out to dissuade him, and after pulling several times, Zhou Bo was severely punished, and then released.

At this time, Liu Chang began to miss his elder brother, second brother, there is a rare place where you can use it once, why are you not here?

Grandma is also qualified, but the problem is that Grandma's character is not suitable for red face and white face. What's the matter? Liu Chang said he was going to kill him, but his mother came back with Zhou Bo's head.

Do you want the teacher to do it?

Seeing her son's embarrassed face, Empress Lu said helplessly, "Just leave this matter to me, but you have to remember that as a king, there are certain things that you cannot help but do. Killing people is kind and soft-hearted, it will only do bad things."

"Zhou Bo is not the first offender. He was in Yan at the time, and he did the same. He sent troops privately to attack the Hu people in Xianbei who had not participated in the war. You did not ask for the crime. Later, in Hexi, he was greedy for military exploits and almost killed the soldiers and civilians of the two cities. You Once again pardoned, he has more than [-] armors hidden in his home, and Ting Wei learned that this is the fourth time you have pardoned again, if you don't teach him a lesson, how will you manage the big man?!"

"To deal with such an arrogant person as him, is to make him completely sober!!"

"You don't have to worry about this anymore."

It could be seen that Empress Lu was really angry this time.

Back at the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang called Liu Zhang over.

"After Zhou Bo comes back, you send someone to watch him. If your mother really wants to kill him, you protect him and don't let anyone hurt his life."

Liu Zhang immediately took the order, "Father Zhong, there is something I don't quite understand."

"You said."

"Zhou Bo has disobeyed the monarch's order several times, why are you so indulgent to him?"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, "Sin does not lead to death."

"Among the four crimes committed by Zhou Bo, the crusade against the remnants of the East Hu is nothing. Sooner or later, I will kill them, that is, to send troops to crusade the Western Qiang. If he can say a word, I will not say anything more. As for the Tibetan armor, Which general doesn't have one at home? Who doesn't like to collect armor when fighting on horseback?"

"Only the fact that he almost killed Luan Bu has made me brooding, but I have also fought wars, and I can understand that people will die in battles, others can die, and those who give up can also die, that is I can also die, it doesn't matter. The anger is just because of personal feelings."

"In the past few decades, Zhou Bo has participated in all wars, destroying Qin, attacking Chu, pacifying civil strife, crusades against the Xiongnu, having fought more than a hundred battles, taking the lead, climbing more than ten times, destroying more than [-] cities, and winning dozens of Hundreds of thousands of strategies, a hundred victories in a hundred battles, and Zhong Juan all the way to the post of Taiwei, a real warrior is such a fierce general, it would be a pity if he died in my hands."

Liu Chang said with emotion.

Zhou Bo's military exploits are sometimes really exaggerated, making people wonder if this Xiongtai has taken any medicine. He looks like some grass-cutting players. He wants to participate in any small battle, and if he kills people, he will rush on the road non-stop. In order to obtain the achievement of full participation, let all bosses, big and small, die in their own hands.
After Liu Bang was proclaimed King of Han, he launched a series of campaigns.

Zhou Bo first followed to attack Huaili and Haozhi, then turned his head to attack Zhao Ben, attacked Qixian County in the north, then attacked the troops of Zhangping and Yaoyin, and then went west to pacify Dingyi County, and returned to take Yuncheng and Bingyang. Destroy the army of the county chief of Xixian, besiege Zhanghan in Waste Hill, attack the robbery army, attack Shangzou, turn to guard Liaoguan, attack Xiang Yu, take Qu Ni, return to guard Aocang, and then pursue Xiang Ji
Zhou Bo's career is to travel, fight, behead, travel, fight, behead.

Even when he followed the quelling of the civil strife, he was still mowing the grass non-stop. Hearing that Han Wangxin had rebelled, Zhou Bo kept going to subdue Huoren County, marched forward to Wuquan, defeated the Hu people's cavalry, and turned around to defeat Han Wangxin in Tongqian. The army went to the north of Wuquan to defeat the Hu cavalry again, returned to conquer the six cities in Taiyuan, and marched to defeat the cavalry of Han Wangxin and the Huns under Jinyang City.

Chasing the enemy and defeating Han Xin's army in Bishi, pursued [-] miles north, returned to attack the three cities of Loufan, took the opportunity to defeat the Huns' cavalry army in Pingcheng, and finally this fellow actually took someone to guard the road. annihilated the runaway soldiers.

Liu Bang was dumbfounded. When Zhou Bo was doing these things, other generals were still on the way. Liu Bang immediately promoted Zhou Bo to be the captain.
Later, the attack on Chen Xi was even more so. It was about a non-stop, and it was over. He almost finished everything that other generals were supposed to do first, and they won.

And this general, sitting in the prison car at the moment, looked out of the prison car with a disheveled hair.

Zhou Bo did not expect that one of his military dispatches would bring about such serious consequences.

When he entered Chang'an, he was surprised to see a young man standing at the gate of the city. It was his youngest son Zhou Jian. Zhou Jian stared blankly at his grandfather in the prison carriage, then knelt on the ground and cried and kowtowed. .

Zhou Bo slowly closed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, his body was firmly fixed inside the prison cart, and he couldn't move.

Zhou Bo was not taken to the Tingwei prison, but was taken to the ordinary cell of the county government.

After getting off the prison car, Zhou Bo was bound and pushed into the cell.

A jailer looked at the tall general in front of him with disdain.

"You are Zhou Bo? Who is the rebel?"

Zhou Bo didn't even look at him, just raised his head slightly.

The jailer slammed into action, a sword hilt smashed into Zhou Bo's abdomen, Zhou Bo bent down in pain, and straightened his body again with clenched teeth.

"I want to see Your Majesty and I am innocent!!"

"Hahaha, you prisoner, how can you be qualified to see His Majesty?!"

The jailer laughed and started again, but Zhou Bo couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground in pain.

"This fellow refuses to plead guilty, but he can be executed every day, five times a day, so that he will have a long memory!!!"

In the prison, Zhou Bo was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and was tortured and humiliated by the prison guards every day.

However, Zhou Bo remained silent and gritted his teeth.

"I am the great Han Chehou. I want to see Your Majesty!!"

"In this prison, there are all prisoners, where did Chehou come from?"

"I have [-] food towns and countless wealth. You let me see Your Majesty, and I will give you a thousand gold."

"Hahaha, you should leave this thousand gold to be buried with you!!"

"Come on, help this fellow confess his guilt!!!"

Zhou Bo was lying on the ground, no longer the majesty he used to have, his hair was disheveled, and several vicious prison guards stood in front of him, threw the food directly on the ground, and asked him to pick it up and eat it.

"enough!!!"
