Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 13 Vortex
Han Xin gave Liu Chang the feeling that he resembled Empress Lu, but was slightly different.

Indifference, loneliness, melancholy, or in other words, this is how Liu Chang felt throughout the entire era, except for the careless father and the group of stupid brothers, the faces of others always had an inexorable sadness. In the palace where you can't see the slightest green, above the gray and white buildings, people can't find the slightest happiness.

The suffering caused by the war is huge, and this suffering has not been improved because of the end of the war. The entire China is silently licking the wounds after the war, for those who died in the suffering and those who are suffering. tears.

Before Liu Bang, China had experienced more than 200 years of war. During these 200 years, there were nearly 300 million soldiers who died in battle.Behind every soldier who died in battle is a broken family, crying parents, a wife who misses her beloved, and a child who lost his father.

And the disasters caused by the aftermath of the war have taken many lives.

In later generations, the numbers that looked cold, were once alive at that time.

The war is over, but the wealthy farmland everywhere is overgrown with weeds.The parents who were sitting at the door waiting for their children are no longer there, but the able-bodied heads of the family still haven't come back.

Whether it is Han Xin or Empress Lu, their sorrows must have nothing to do with these, but it cannot be said that such an era has not affected all beings living in this era.

"Master, how are you going to teach me? Are you going to take me to the barracks?"

Liu Chang sat in front of Han Xin excitedly, without the slightest unease or restraint.

This made Han Xin a little surprised.

After Han Xin showed off his talents, almost no one dared to be so casual with him. Liu Bang was the only one who dared to make fun of him and joke with him.A fierce man like Fan Kuai only dared to bow down to him, but he didn't even dare to look up at him. A hero like Xiao He was the first to speak to him cautiously and did not dare to neglect him. As for Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Jiangguan, follow him. Lu, Cao Can, Xiahou Ying and the like, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Han Xin glanced at him before saying, "I can't go to the military camp."

"Then how do you teach it?"

"To learn the art of war, reading is useless, you have to start from the most basic things."

"Okay, let's teach you!"

Liu Chang picked up the pen and precious paper. This was the first time in his history that he listened to the lecture so seriously. After all, this was a course he was interested in. No matter who he was, he had a military dream in his heart, not to mention the fact that he was in the military. In ancient times, no one could resist the temptation to lead thousands of troops to conquer cities and lands.

"Five soldiers eat 150 shi of millet a year. If you are going to go out with [-] soldiers, and the expected combat time is two years, how much food do you have to prepare?"

"Um???"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, is this the art of war or mathematics?

And it's too simple.

"120 million stone."

Liu Chang said the answer without hesitation, and Han Xin's face was obviously surprised. Although there is already a multiplication table in this era, people who understand mathematics can calculate it in minutes, but Liu Chang can calculate it so quickly at his age. , is not bad, this is obviously different from what Han Xin thinks of the ignorant son.

"not bad"

"This is the art of war??"

"This is part of the art of war, but your answer is wrong, you need to prepare 200 million stone."

"Impossible, 120 million is right."

"There will be a waste of food on the way of the march. It is not guaranteed that there will be accidents, and the war period may be delayed. Therefore, at any time, the food prepared must be far greater than the food necessary for the war."

Liu Chang suddenly realized that this is very reasonable, although it is still simpler.

Next, the knowledge taught by Han Xin is the foundation of the basics. There is no advanced tactics that can defeat Xiang Yu as Liu Chang thought. Although it is only some basic knowledge, the person who lectures is Han Xin after all, and Han Xin is telling the process. He often gives examples, all of which are based on his own personal experience.

Liu Chang regarded it as listening to the story, and was particularly fascinated by what he heard.

"Master, how did you defeat Xiang Yu in the first place? Tell me, Xiang Yu is so fierce, how did you defeat him?"

During the break, Chang Liu pestered Han Xin and insisted that he tell him stories. Although Han Xin occasionally gave examples during his lectures, he asked him to explain in detail, but he was unwilling. He seemed very unwilling to recall the original His face was full of displeasure, and Liu Chang was allowed to roll around without saying anything.

Han Xin's character is completely opposite to Liu Chang's. He is incompatible with fire and water. Han Xin is a serious and rigid person. Because of his long-term military experience, he is strict with people and doesn't like to make noise. Liu Chang is also a talented person. , can't be quiet for a moment, it's very noisy.

Han Xin disliked this little apprentice very, very, very much. When Liu Chang was shouting around with his saber, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. With a black face, he asked the slave to grab this guy and ask him to come back tomorrow. .

Liu Chang liked Han Xin very much. He felt that this melancholy uncle had an inexplicable charm, and his lectures were also very interesting, so he returned to the palace full of expectations.

Just returned to the palace, and before he had time to brag about his performance today with his mother, Liu Chang was brought in front of Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was concentrating on reviewing something, and Liu Chang stood on tiptoe and took a peek.

Only then did Liu Bang put away the bamboo slips, turned his head sideways, and looked at Liu Chang.

"Have you come back from Han Xin?"

"Ah."

"How did you study?"

"Very good, the teacher is very happy and very satisfied with me."

"Have you read the art of war? Or did he teach you personally?"

"The teacher taught me personally."

"Did he ask about you?"

"what?"

"It's just to ask you how you were in the palace, or to ask you about the situation in the palace or something."

"No."

"Then did he mention your mother, or your brothers?"

"No."

"Well, don't tell anyone what I asked you, or I'll smash your spinning wheel."

".understood."

Although Liu Chang is skinny, he still has a certain fear of Liu Bang. He knows that Liu Bang always does what he says, so after seeing his mother, he did not tell her what Liu Bang asked.However, what was confusing was that Empress Lu seemed to be suddenly interested in what he had learned from Han Xin.

Even Empress Lu asked the exact same question.

"Did he ask about the situation in the palace?"

"Did he ask me or your elder brother?"

The eldest brother that Empress Lu mentioned was Liu Ying.Empress Lu seems to only admit that she has two sons. When she talks to Liu Chang about other princes, she usually calls them by their first names. Only when she talks about Liu Ying, she will talk about your eldest brother. The same is true for Liu Ying. Only when talking about Liu Chang will you say your brother.

Of course, at the end of the conversation, Empress Lv also threatened and intimidated Chang Liu just like Liu Bang.

"If you say it out, I won't give you beef in the future."

It can only be said that his parents caught Liu Chang's dead end, preventing him from wanton nonsense outside.Liu Chang didn't even realize that he had fallen into a very terrifying political whirlpool, and no one dared to relax, and everyone was facing the same threat.

Liu Chang was still busy with his own affairs. He heard that Liu Chang was making a spinning wheel. Liu Ying came again and encouraged Liu Chang with a smile, saying that his behavior was worth learning from other princes.In the early Han period, when Confucianism did not arise, or in other words, did not deteriorate, no one harbored hatred for inventions and machines.

Qin and Han are very encouraged to invent and create. In the "violent Qin", if you can invent a new machine that is beneficial to the country, then you can be promoted.Of course, my big man will not copy "violent Qin". In my big man, if you can invent something useful, you can get rewards. The reward is usually to upgrade your title.It can be seen that my big man definitely did not plagiarize "violent Qin" at all.

Therefore, in this era, it is not ignorant to invent and create, and Liu Ying also supports Liu Chang's idea.

Liu Chang was initially reluctant to tell Liu Ying about it, mainly because he didn't want to listen to Liu Ying's big truth.

Liu Ying still spoke some great truths, from the importance of inventions to filial piety, and to the issue of folk clothing, from Taoism to Confucianism, and from Confucianism to Legalism, even Mohists also mentioned it.

It's just that Liu Chang couldn't understand his long speeches, just nodded stupidly.

Facts have proved that the eldest brother is still reliable. Although he gave Liu Chang a certain amount of mental torture, before leaving, he brought back all the tools and raw materials that Liu Chang needed.What Liu Heng, Liu Ruyi and the others can't handle, Liu Ying can handle completely.

Liu Chang was overjoyed, one big brother at a time, and Liu Ying raised her head happily.

ps: To clarify a few points, first of all, in order to allow Liu Bang and others to appear, Laolang deliberately increased the age of some princes. After all, these settings are for the sake of the plot, I hope everyone can understand.

In addition, regarding the historical blindness of the protagonist, I myself am a history student. In order to write a good protagonist in science and engineering, I asked a lot of friends who have worked and fit in with the protagonist's previous character design.Most of them knew about Liu Bang, Empress Lu, Han Xin and others. They knew about Liu Che, but they didn't know about Liu Heng. I asked about a dozen friends, but only two of them knew that Liu Heng was Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the old wolf doesn't like people arguing about these things. I hope everyone can focus on the plot and talk more about the plot, rather than these settings and attributes. I hope everyone can give more of their own ideas, understanding of the plot and Opinions, this will be very helpful for Laolang's next creation.

Thank you.
