Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 753 Come to my country of Xia! !

On the Chang'an official road, a group of knights came galloping.

Their speed was very fast, and they rushed all the way. Even if they encountered those soldiers who wanted to interrogate them, they didn't mean to slow down, and rushed over directly.

The soldiers turned pale with fright, and were about to shout, but were hurriedly stopped by the officers on the side.

"Don't worry about it!"

"Didn't you see that flag?"

The soldier looked at Shichang aggrievedly, and said: "I see, but there is an order in the temple, even if it is a national lieutenant, he must be interrogated, and if he is held accountable in the future."

Shi Chang shook his head, "National Wei Banner plus Zhou Zi Banner, this must be Hexi Guowei Jianghou, this gentleman is unscrupulous, really cruel, don't provoke him easily, or you won't be held accountable in the future Their family is very powerful, one family and three lords, one is in charge of the North and South Army, and the other is in charge of the Yellow Head Army, who dares to provoke? Don't worry about it, in the future, there will naturally be someone who can stop him!"

The soldier didn't say anything more.

This group of people was the triumphant Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo was ordered to return to Chang'an after he wiped out the foreign Qiang.

Zhou Bo's expression didn't look very good, he was not very willing to resign.

The dissatisfaction of being forced to return to Chang'an was directly written on his face, and he was rampant along the way, probably venting his dissatisfaction in his heart. Zhou Bo was too easily swayed by emotions, and he was prone to some extreme behaviors.

The knight beside him was a little frightened at the moment.

These knights are all his confidantes who have followed him for the longest time, and they are still very clear about their general's character. However, the Zhou family is so powerful today that it has reached the point where any king would be afraid. At this time, Is it really okay to show an unwillingness to surrender military power?
Besides, although his own monarch is powerful, if the emperor wants to clean up, it is really not difficult.

It is true that Tiaohou is in charge of the Northern and Southern Army, but can Tiaohou still command the Northern and Southern Army to attack the palace?
Even if he wanted to, could he do it?

Why don't you just bow your head, give up your position, enjoy yourself in Chang'an with peace of mind, and pretend to be grateful for His Majesty's kindness. Why are you still unwilling to let go after you have made so many miraculous achievements in this life's battle?
They couldn't understand Junhou's thoughts at the moment, and they didn't know why he was so stubborn to do some stupid things.

When they ran all the way, they came to the third checkpoint.

Zhou Bo still didn't slow down, and still ran at full speed.

The soldiers guarding here discovered them very early. This is the last checkpoint to enter Chang'an. The army Sima guarding here turned pale with shock, and looked at the group of people in the distance in surprise.

"Sima! There are bandits! Get rid of them!!"

A soldier jumped out suddenly, and vigorously drew out the crossbow that he carried with him.

Jun Sima's face darkened. If the other soldiers had said that, he would have slapped him, but this man can't, because this man was educated in military science to be on duty.

In addition to the normal class time, the students of military science have to enter the North and South Army to be on duty, including patrolling and guarding the customs. Like those who entered the military school with meritorious service, they can serve as some officers, but they must pass the examination. And those who come in through the back door have to be soldiers.

And the person assigned to him is the cheating King Xia.

Sima was very helpless about this, and he was polite to him on weekdays.

"It is the Duke of Zhou, the captain of the state, who cannot be shot."

"Zhou Bo? So what about Zhou Bo? Even if my father comes, he will have to dismount and accept interrogation!"

Hearing Liu Ci's words, Sima seemed to think of something, and hurriedly arranged soldiers to stop him.

Seeing that several crossings were blocked by repelling horses, some soldiers held spears and quickly formed formation, Zhou Bo frowned suddenly, waved his hand, and a knight rushed past him, rushed to the checkpoint first, and said loudly: "Jiang Hou passes the barrier! Let it go quickly!!"

"Whoo~~~"

There was only a sound of breaking through the air, and the crossbow arrow flew over the knight's head. At that moment, the knight was so frightened that he almost fell off the horse, and his mind went blank.

what's the situation? ?Is this going to shoot me? ?
Even if it can't be released, it can't be shot directly, right? ?

Where did the lunatic come from? ?

Sima was also terrified. He turned his head abruptly and looked at Liu Ci who was on the side. Liu Ci put away his crossbow and cursed: "Let him call Guan again! Don't shoot this dog!"

This kind of action finally forced Zhou Bo to stop. Zhou Bo may not have thought that this group of people would shoot and kill without saying a word.

The knight returned to Zhou Bo's side in panic. Zhou Bo slowed down and rode his horse slowly to the front of the checkpoint. He looked seriously at the army commander in the distance, his eyes were full of murderous intent, which made people shudder.

Jun Sima swallowed his saliva, the notoriety of this man has spread all over the place, beheaded general.

Who dares to provoke him?
This King Xia has harmed me.

But in this situation, he didn't dare to be cowardly, so he had to say stiffly: "Greetings, Junhou!! Please get off the horse!!"

Zhou Bo sneered, his face grim, "Who dares to shoot me??"

"Whoo~~~"

Hearing the sound of piercing the air again, arrows flew past Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo's steed neighed, and the knights behind him were frightened.

Holding a strong crossbow, Liu Ci aimed at Zhou Bo in the distance, and shouted, "Get off the horse!! Otherwise, the next arrow will kill you!!!"

Jun Sima only felt his scalp go numb.

Zhou Bo was not afraid. He stared straight at the doll who dared to shoot himself with a crossbow. Looking at that familiar face, he seemed to recall something, and the knights behind him had already surrounded him. I couldn't hide my panic, and hurriedly shouted: "Let's dismount! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!!"

Liu Ci looked at the army Sima at the side, and said, "Sima! You can send someone to take them down! They broke through maliciously!"

The army commander did not dare to move, so Liu Ci had no choice but to give the order himself. The soldiers at the checkpoint directly surrounded them, asked them to dismount, and handed over their weapons. Zhou Bo was very calm and did not show any resistance.

"Jianghou, you have made a big mistake if you want to lead the troops through the checkpoint. I will take you back to Chang'an according to the law! I will hand you over to the captain of the city gate! What do you have to say?!"

Zhou Bo shook his head, but did not speak.

Liu Ci and many soldiers surrounded them and led them to walk towards Chang'an Street on foot. Liu Ci followed Zhou Bo with a proud expression on his face.

He looked around, then whispered, "Jianghou! Jianghou!"

Zhou Bo ignored him, and Liu Ci continued, "Jianghou! I am King Xia!"

"Does King Xia want to kill me?"

"What are you talking about? I admire Junhou very much. I know what Junhou has done in Hexi Kingdom. It is really admirable. Those fools who can't deal with it are stunned by you. Hahaha, in my opinion, in the whole world, only the prince can be called a tiger general!"

Listening to his flattery, Zhou Bo asked calmly, "Then the king still wants to shoot me and my people?"

"This is to protect you, don't you know? I did this because I was instructed by my father. Don't blame me, my father knows that you must be unhappy to let you go back to Chang'an. You forced your way through the checkpoint in Longxi, so send me to intercept it."

"Oh? Why did Your Majesty do this?"

"All the ministers are staring at you. You are a three-time prince. You are too conspicuous. Over the years, there have been many articles impeaching you. My father rejected them all. I am just curious. Why do you do this?" What do you do? Breaking through the checkpoint, what's the point? Just to vent your dissatisfaction?"

Zhou Bo's tone was a little heavy, "The reputation is too obvious. Since His Majesty wants to get rid of me, you might as well get rid of me."

"Oh! Self-defilement?"

Liu Ci nodded, and then said: "You are thinking wrong. It's not that my father can't trust you. The reason why you were dismissed is because military science really needs you, and there is no war in Hexi country. The original intention is to let you rest assured. Raise it for a few years, and teach those young offspring by the way. Why do you need to defile yourself? You really despise my father."

Zhou Bo didn't say a word, "It's not self-defilement, I just want to see His Majesty earlier and make it clear to His Majesty face to face. I can still fight again. Now that I am poisoned and need a general, I am willing to go."

"It's no wonder my father said that you are a tiger general in the world. Sure enough, but at your age, how can you suffer from poison? Even if you don't want to teach in Chang'an, you shouldn't take such drastic actions. If you I didn't stop you, let you break through, then tomorrow the memorials of the ministers will flood the Hall of Houde, and then you will be imprisoned for questioning, maybe even the general of the chariot and rider will be implicated, is this what you think Want to see it?"

Zhou Bo didn't speak, his face remained serious.

But Liu Ci approached him with a smile, "Your Majesty, I actually think you shouldn't go to poison yourself. You are too old. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility."

"Why don't you come to my country of Xia!"

Liu Ci immediately raised his head, "My country of Xia has 50 iron cavalry, all of them are in armor, and are invincible in the world. What we lack is a general who can command an army. If you are willing to go to the country of Xia, I am willing to worship you as a general and let you command the army." Dajun, there are a lot of wars in our place, and there are Hu people who are not willing to submit to defect and fight with us year after year, if you are in the country of Xia, then what else do I need to worry about??"

Liu Ci looked at Zhou Bo with sparkles in his eyes, and it could be seen that he really wanted Zhou Bo very much.

Zhou Bo was a little surprised, "Is this what His Majesty meant?"

"No, that's what I mean. Father is actually asking me to stand up and tell you to stop, saying that you will definitely stop when you see my face, and then tell the officials that even a pawn can Let you stop and accept the interrogation, and no one will write a letter saying that you are too powerful and rampant."

Zhou Bo was taken aback for a moment, and then became furious, "Then why did the king shoot me?"

"Didn't I want to impress you more? In this way, you won't be able to forget me in the future, and you might come to my country of Xia one day. Besides, holding a strong crossbow and forcing the general back, Speaking of which, I also have light on my face.”

Hearing the self-report of this perverted brat, Zhou Bo really wanted to beat him up.

Just now, when the arrow was shot, he once thought that His Majesty was going to kill him, because his family had made too much contribution. When he was taken to Chang'an by Liu Ci, he was thinking that His Majesty might be He wanted to hurt his prestige and give his son a prestige, but he thought so much, but he never thought that it was this kid who made his own decisions and changed what was originally beneficial to him into a behavior that was beneficial to himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I suddenly felt that it would be nice to stay in Chang'an!"

While Liu Ci was still talking about his beautiful blueprint for the Xia Kingdom, Lu Chan led the people and hurriedly appeared here. Seeing the intact Zhou Bo, the panic on Lu Chan's face dissipated a little, no one knew When he heard that a soldier was about to shoot Zhou Bo, he was so terrified, especially after knowing who the soldier was, Lu Chan hurriedly called on Zhou Bo and asked him to get in the car. Liu Ci wanted to follow, but was caught Lu Chan pushed it away.

"You son of a bitch!! Your father is so angry! I told you to stop someone, forget it, you go to watch first! You will suffer at night!!"

"Ah? Father can't cross the river and tear down bridges. I'm following his orders."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chan and Zhou Bo left the place quickly.

Sitting in the car, Lu Chan nodded and bowed in apology.

"It surprised you, and I should be the one to handle this matter. That Shuzi can't handle anything, even if you dare to shoot and kill, it's lawless!"

I don't know if it was because of Liu Ci's words, but Zhou Bo no longer had the anger he felt when he left Hexi Kingdom. He asked very calmly, "I only have one question, please answer me truthfully! Your Majesty What is the reason for recalling me this time?"

Lu Chan smiled wryly, "Don't think too much, Your Majesty still likes you very much, especially after you solved the Wai Qiang. Although Your Majesty didn't say it clearly, you can't hide the joy in your heart. It's really true that Your Majesty asked you to come back." The purpose is to make your life better. After all, you are at this age, and the battlefield is dangerous. Now many veterans are in Chang'an's military school."

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Zhou Bo got out of the carriage.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the tyrant standing in front of him.

Zhou Bo was startled and hurriedly saluted.

But Liu Chang helped him up, "Hahaha, why did Marquis Jiang do this? It surprised you, my scorpion has always been like this, don't worry, I will discipline him well. Come on!"

Liu Chang grabbed his hand and led him towards the palace.

"Why do you have to take such actions to self-defile? This makes me really unhappy. Do I still fear you old generals like my father, that foolish king? I let you come back just for your own good. Do you think I am worried about you? What is the reason for this?"

Liu Chang started complaining mode, talking in a rambling manner.

"If you don't want to teach here, just tell me directly, will I disagree? Do you still need to use this method to protect yourself in front of me??"

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhou Bo didn't dare to say anything more.

The two came to the Hall of Houde, and Liu Chang pressed him to the position beside him, "Jianghou, I know your temper, you are a person who is not very good at hiding yourself, and you can't hide your emotions. , my master said that once you have some credit, you will be easy to get ahead, but I like you very much. There are fewer and fewer generals as tough as you. Let’s just say this foreign Qiang. For so many years, no one has dared to dare To hunt them down, you led those surrendered Qiang soldiers to the plateau. I know that the weather there is harsh. You can withstand those and defeat all the thieves. I am extremely convinced of you. This matter can be changed. Other founding generals may not be able to do it."

"There are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with you. Most of them say that you are domineering and beating your colleagues, ignoring the king's orders, etc. Hahaha, but I don't care. Sometimes, a general can't lose his temper at all. .”

Liu Chang said with a smile.

Zhou Bo was silent for a long time before he said: "It's not because I don't want to part with the military power in my hand, but I'm not old enough to fight again. Please go and be poisoned. It's enough to be a lieutenant. I will never let the Anxi people threaten the land of the great man." .”

Liu Chang doesn't dare to let this person get poisoned. Others dare not say anything, but if this person goes, the big man and Anxi will definitely fight and explode completely. This person's temper is extremely bad. If you don't kill them all, you won't stop. When you beat Chen Xi, those Huns who were chased all the way to the desert are the best examples. Such a violent temper is too unsuitable for poisoning. Liu Chang scratched his head , "Well, if there is a war with Anxi, you must be the chief general."

"You go back to rest first, Yafu and the others must miss you very much, you go back to rest, and we will discuss these things after you have rested!"

Seeing Zhou Bo off, Lu Lu looked a little surprised.

"I thought His Majesty would punish him severely. Didn't Your Majesty always say that he is rebellious and needs to be beaten from time to time?"

"Why is he beating at his age? There's no need for that. Speaking of which, his military achievements should have surpassed that of Cao Shen at the time. Only the complete recovery of the Outer Qiang is incomparable to others. Although the Outer Qiang has a small number of people, But after all, it is a trouble that is difficult to eradicate. He has fought for the country all his life, and I can bear some bad temper. But judging from his meaning, it is obvious that he is not willing to stay in the Military Academy, but I dare not let him Get rid of the poison."

In the evening, Liu Chang had just finished his meal, and Liu Ci walked into Houde Hall carelessly.

"Father!! When will Marquis Jiang follow me to Xia Guo?"

"Go to Xia Kingdom?"

Liu Chang stood up slowly, "Why did he follow you to Xia Guo?"

"Now only the Xia Kingdom is still at war, and our Xia Kingdom also lacks a general. Isn't he the most suitable? If Father doesn't want him to go, it's fine for the Marquis of Huaiyin, and it's not impossible for the King of Nanyue to go. Of course, I will not refuse Li Jijiu, if they can go together, that would be great."

Liu Chang asked in a cold voice: "You have a good idea, but I want to ask you first, I asked you to stop Zhou Bo, why did you shoot him and the people accompanying him?"

Liu Ci raised his head.

"Just tell me if I forced him to stop?!"
