Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 72 The Heart of the Brave

As soon as Liu Bang set off, halfway through the journey, he encountered the returning army of Xia Houying.

Xia Houying held a wooden box and respectfully walked in front of Liu Bang.

Open the wooden box, and inside is Ying Bu's head.

Ying Bu glared angrily, dying.

Liu Bang looked at it for a long time and sighed, "Take him back and bury him with his body."

The turmoil in Huainan happened quickly and ended quickly. The ordinary people hardly felt the turmoil, and it ended in an instant.I don't know if Ying Bu regretted not listening to the generals and planning to rebel before he died in battle.

Liu Bang was not in a hurry to go back, but instead came to visit Huainan on the frame.

Huainan is rich, second only to the state of Qi, and the local people probably don't know what happened. After seeing Liu Bang's frame, they shouted for the king, and they didn't know it was the emperor until someone reminded them.

Fortunately, the war did not spread to Huainan, and the situation in various places was not greatly affected. The Chaos of Chao Dynasty ended, and Huainan was no longer Liu Bang's heart disease.At this moment, Liu Bang finally calmed down completely. Looking at the scenery of Huainan Kingdom, his mood was infinitely calm.

However, the matter of Huainan Kingdom was a gust of wind in other places.

After learning that Ying Bu was killed, Lu Wan didn't get a good night's sleep, and woke up crying every day in a nightmare.

"What happened to the king?"

The princess asked worriedly.

Lu Wan shook her head, crying, and said nothing.

He dreamed of his best brother, but in the dream, his good brother wanted to kill him.

When the news of Huainan's pacification came back to Chang'an, Chang'an was immersed in joy.

Even Empress Lu had a faint smile on her face, and even after the news came back, Chang Liu had not been beaten by her grandmother for three days!
In the Tianlu Pavilion, the princes were all excited.

"I didn't expect that Ying Bu actually died when the war ended so quickly!"

"Yeah, I thought this war would destroy the land of Jingchu."

"Oh, I have long seen that Ying Bu is vulnerable!"

Liu Chang said proudly, several elder brothers looked at him, Liu Ruyi said sarcastically: "Now Ying Bu is defeated, you can see at a glance that he is vulnerable, it's really amazing! Why didn't I look like this? What about the long-term vision? Father really didn't give you the wrong name!"

"It was, what do you know?"

Liu Chang said proudly: "A few days ago, my father and I were in the Jiaofang Palace to receive the eldest sister, drinking and having fun. At this moment, my father suddenly sighed, and I hurriedly asked, and learned that my father was working for Yingbu. worry about things!"

"I told him, "Father, when you fought in the south and the north, you were not afraid of Qin's soldiers ten times as many as you. Xiang Yu was so brave, and he was defeated by you in the suicide area. Why should you worry about Qu Yingbu? Just send a few A qualified general, with your prestige, the enemy will be brave!"

The princes looked at each other as they listened, and for a while they couldn't tell whether what Liu Chang said was true or false.

Liu Ruyi said disdainfully: "If this guy's words are said to be believed, half of it is fine."

"There are probably some words, but it may not be what he said or what my sister-in-law said."

When Liu Chang was exposed, he was furious. He pointed at Ruyi and scolded: "Shuzian dares to slander the widow? The widow is not strong! The strong will change!"

Ruyi curled her lips, "If you have this time, it's better to read a few more books."

The princes chatted chatteringly about the battle situation. When they talked about Xia Houying, they were already very excited, and they were full of praise for him.

"Cough cough."

Gai Gong cleared his throat, and these talents came back to their senses and sat in their seats obediently.

"The real wise king will not be excited by war."

"War is a kind of disaster, far more than any kind of disaster. It will bring great suffering to the people. A truly benevolent and righteous king can do three things: avoid war, contain war, and resolve war as soon as possible."

"War is a last resort, not an opportunity to show one's bravery."

"War is for protection, not for bullying."

Gaige really told the story, the princes did not dare to refute, even Liu Chang did not dare, he kept nodding his head, teacher, you are right!exactly!

In this class, Duke Gai mainly told the princes about the war. Duke Gai was a staunch pacifist, although his swordsmanship was not very peaceful.

After the class, it is natural to practice the sword.

Needless to say, until now, under Gai Gong, Liu Chang was still unable to take a single move, and every time he was beaten, this made Liu Chang quite irritable, and even lost some of his previous self-confidence.However, Duke Gai ignored him at all, and didn't show mercy to him because of this, and the offensive was even more violent.

"Bang~~"

Liu Chang's wooden sword was picked up by Gai Gong, and his wooden sword easily touched the center of Liu Chang's eyebrows.

Liu Chang stared blankly at Gai Gong, his expression a little depressed, and he sighed.

"Master. Why do I feel like I'm losing faster and faster?"

"Until now, I still can't take your move. Am I not suitable for sword training?"

"After practicing for so long, why can't I practice?"

Liu Chang sat on the ground in frustration, did not pick up the wooden sword beside him, frowned, and for the first time began to lose confidence.

Gai Gong stood in front of him, stroking his beard, "Practicing swordsmanship, technique is not important, the most important thing is to practice your state of mind."

"I do not understand."

"Principles in the world are interoperable, swordsmanship is like this, and other things are like this. If you practice swordsmanship, you can't back down. You have to believe in yourself and never turn back. Only then can you be considered a master of practice."

Liu Chang was still confused.

Gai Gong had to change his words, "Do you know how Xia Houying killed Ying Bu?"

"Of course I do! Listen to them, it was stabbed with a spear!"

"Then do you know why Xiahouying was able to kill him?"

"They said it was stabbed to death while Ying Bu was exhausted."

Gai Gong shook his head, stroked his beard, and said earnestly: "People before death are often the most courageous, they fight to the death, but they are not exhausted. The reason why Xiahouying was able to kill Yingbu was because of his Imposing manner, he believed that he could kill Yingbu, but Yingbu was hesitant and confused, that's why he lost to Xiahouying."

"Will it be because Xiahouying rode a chariot and Yingbu fought on foot?"

"No, listen to me. No matter what you practice, or what you're going to do, never hesitate, don't back down. If you decide to do something, then believe that you can do it! People with this spirit, will never be defeated!"

"When I was young, I was just like you. I was lawless, arrogant, looked down on any samurai, and fought with people to the death for half my life. After losing all my family members, I learned from the pain and decided to study to solve my inner confusion. That's it. I have read books for 30 years and my mind has gradually become less confused.”

"This is what I want to tell you. No matter what you do, you must persevere. Don't give up easily. You must have confidence. As long as you make up your mind, nothing is impossible."

"I understand!"

Liu Changda shouted, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, jumped up suddenly, and continued to start the showdown with the teacher.

"boom!"

The wooden sword struck one place, and Luan Bu was a little scared.

The next moment, Luan Bu's sword had already slashed at Liu Chang's neck.

Liu Chang put away the wooden sword with a smile and shouted, "Come again!"

Luan Bu pursed his lips. He had never seen such a talented person as the son. He thought that back then, the son was full of flaws in front of him. Practicing swords with him was just playing with the children, but how long did it take? , To talk about the growth of the son, he is definitely the one who feels the deepest.

By now, he has to cheer up so that he won't lose face in front of the son. The son's strength and speed are rapidly increasing, and his skills are gradually becoming more proficient. All kinds of weird moves, hitting Luan Bu sometimes. It's hard to parry.

He couldn't imagine what kind of ruthless man he would be when he grew up?Could it be that he is another figure like the overlord of Chu?

When he was studying under his apprenticeship, he had heard people say that Chu Bawang led dozens of cavalry and could rush into thousands of people, beheaded and captured the flag. According to the rumors, how can there be such a fierce person in the world?But seeing the son-in-law in front of him, Luan Bu's heart was a little shaken, maybe there really is such a person.

Just when Luan Bu was thinking about it, a severe pain came from his abdomen. At a glance, Liu Chang's wooden sword touched his abdomen.

Liu Chang grinned, "Jun Luan, your heart is in a mess. People have to have confidence in themselves and have an indomitable momentum! How can you retreat?"

"What your son said is very true!"

"Do you know how Xia Houying defeated Ying Bu?"

ps: Brothers, it has been confirmed that it will be on the shelves on March [-]st, and it will definitely be updated at that time, to repay the former leader, the Silver Alliance, I have been frantically depositing manuscripts recently, just to let everyone have a good time!thank you all!
