Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 14 The protector of the great Han princes

"The art of war in the past is not written for the people of today!"

Facing Liu Chang's confusion as to why he didn't explain the art of war to himself, Han Xin replied in this way.

This is a very confident man. He said solemnly: "People like Sun Wu, when they wrote the art of war, the princes fought melee, and the generals at that time fought, they were all thinking about how to destroy the enemy's land and people, how to make themselves The country can be stronger than other princes."

"But it's different now, the world is one. If you send troops to crusade against Qi, can you burn down Qi's houses, kill Qi's people, and reduce the population of Qi?"

"So, a general who embraces the art of war of his predecessors and doesn't know how to be flexible will definitely be destroyed."

"A real general can not rely on the art of war, but has his own ideas and understanding of the battlefield, clearly knows his own strengths and the enemy's weaknesses, and uses his strengths to beat the enemy's weaknesses!"

Han Fei then talked about what he thought was the most important thing in running an army, military law.

"The common denominator of all the famous generals in the world is that they govern the army in a strict way."

"What I mean by strictness is not to beat the soldiers or treat them harshly, but to let them obey the orders, completely obey any order of the general, and not question this is the most important part of the drill. I want the soldiers to do this. There are many methods that the general can use, the first is to establish his prestige, to make himself majestic."

"Especially if you can't smile like you, you are not serious. If you don't correct your attitude, you will never be a good general!"

Han Xin looked at the foolish Liu Chang and criticized angrily.

"Master, how can I establish my majesty as quickly as possible?"

"kill."

"You can't just kill people casually in order to establish your majesty. Is there any other way?"

"Take the lead in doing what you ask your soldiers to do."

To be honest, Han Xin’s courses are not as high-level as Liu Chang thought. Han Xin has always taught Liu Chang in the most easy-to-understand words, not at all inscrutable, and Liu Chang can understand them easily. And also understandable.

His learning progress cannot be said to be slow, but Han Xin is not satisfied, it may be a conflict of personality, anyway, he is not satisfied no matter how he looks at it.

"In Tongxing area, what kind of position should be occupied first?"

"We should seize the high ground!!"

"Bastard! What else?"

"and also."

"A place with high terrain, facing the sun, and a place with unimpeded grain roads!"

"But you didn't teach me the last two."

"Can't you think of it if I don't tell you? Don't tell me you want to take me with you when you go to war in the future and ask me anytime?"

"Master, you are a bit unreasonable!"

"Unreasonable? If you are my son, I..."

"Master, do you have a son?"

Han Xin suddenly fell silent, his face kept changing, finally nodded and said, "There is one."

"Where is he?"

"Huaiyin."

"He's much older than you"

"Then is he as serious as you, Master?"

"do not know."

"Why don't you know?"

"What nonsense! Let me ask you, the enemy camp in the distance has less flying dust and rises and falls from time to time. What does this mean?"

"How do I know?"

"madness!!"

Han Xin was not like this at first, Han Xin was a serious and majestic man, but he was completely broken by Liu Chang.This Zhuzi asked some things that Han Xin didn't want to mention all day long. He talked about things that were not big or small.

"Gu! Throw this stick out for me!"

Gu is the name of Han Xin's tall and mighty soldier. This man like an iron tower will execute any order of Han Xin without thinking. This guy is so tall, but Liu Chang is not afraid of him.Because after wandering around Han Xin's mansion for a long time, he discovered that this guy is actually a very simple and honest person.

Han Xin once rescued him from a prisoner of war and ordered him to be his own soldier. This guy decided to repay Han Xin with his life.

When Han Xin was captured by Liu Bang, this guy went crazy and knocked down six mighty warriors in a row. Even Liu Bang thought this guy was good, so it was a pity to kill him, so he spared his life.

Gu grabbed Liu Chang, like grabbing a little chicken, and Liu Chang yelled: "Master! Then I will come back tomorrow~~~"

After sending Liu Chang out of the mansion, Gu came in again and stood by Han Xin's side.

Han Xin, who usually reads at ease, couldn't help complaining to Liu Chang, the only guard he trusted at this moment, "I have never been so angry in my life, even his father, could not make me so angry. This guy is simply An ignorant villain who is a hundred times as stupid as his father!"

Hearing Han Xin complain, Gu suddenly grinned.

"why are you laughing?"

"The Lord has not spoken to me for a long time"

"Ok?"

Sometimes, resentment and anger are pent up in the chest, and venting is the best solution.

Both Liu Bang and Empress Lu were very interested in Han Xin at first, and always asked Liu Chang about things in Han Xin's mansion, but after a while, they stopped asking.When Liu Chang saw people, he would brag about what he had learned from Han Xin, saying that Liu Hui and the others were all stunned.

Only Liu Ruyi dismissed it.

"After all, you just learned to transport food, observe the terrain, and observe the enemy's camp?"

Liu Ruyi said disdainfully: "These things, if you read a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", you wouldn't go out of your way to learn them."

"Really? Come on, let me ask you, the enemy camp in the distance has less flying dust and rises and falls from time to time. What does this mean?"

"It means that the enemy army is inspecting the terrain and preparing to set up camp. This is a very suitable time for an attack."

Liu Ruyi replied calmly.

Liu Chang's eyes widened, "How do you know?"

"Because I have read Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Liu Ruyi looked at Liu Chang proudly, and felt very happy when he saw Liu Chang's out of breath. The palace was really boring, and teasing the stupid little brother was his greatest source of happiness every day.It may be a beautiful thing to eat and sleep to tease Liu Chang.

"Third brother."

Liu Heng opened his mouth suddenly, and stared at Liu Ruyi closely. Liu Ruyi couldn't continue to bully this younger brother, so he could only say, "I don't know that at your age, but you are still good, keep learning. Ahaha. .”

Liu Hui also encouraged and said: "In the future, the person who will protect the Son of Heaven will be you, the eldest brother. How lucky you are to be taught by the Marquis of Huaiyin. You must study hard. If my vassal states meet Enemy beyond the Great Wall, you can come and save me."

"Don't worry! In the future, I will protect you well, by the way, except for Liu Ruyi." Liu Chang said seriously.

"Hahaha, I don't need your little doll to protect me!"

"Third brother."

"Cough, forget it, I don't care about you little doll."

In the Jiaofang Hall, the textile machine has been formed, and the last few important steps of installing the pulleys are missing.Everyone was really surprised. At the beginning, when Liu Chang said that he was going to make a textile machine, no one believed it.

They thought it was just a child's absurd idea. Even so, they still respected the child. Liu Heng and Liu Ying found all the tools for him, and several others encouraged him in various ways, but including Liu Heng, No one thinks that Liu Chang can really be made.

They just think that Liu Chang's idea is very good. At least, he has the desire to be filial and considerate of the people of the world.But none of them thought that Liu Chang really made a name for himself. When the complicated machine full of unique charms gradually took shape, Empress Lu was very surprised.

Regardless of whether this thing can work or not, just making such a thing is already worthy of praise.

Liu Chang worked very seriously, and he was actually a little worried. He didn't know if he had made a mistake in a certain link. After all, this was the first time in his life to make a textile machine. Although the machine was very simple and primitive. After he finished assembling After getting all the parts, Liu Chang didn't inform Empress Lu or anyone else. Instead, he asked the court lady to find some silk or hemp for him. He wanted to try the function of this machine first, and then tell his family.

If it fails, don't tell them for now, and build another one after tearing it down.
