Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 206 How to play the anti-thief?Just relax a little

It's not just Jia Yi who thinks so, almost everyone can't understand Zhao Tuo's thoughts.

In the Tang Palace, the Scheers were talking fiercely.

"Then what kind of thing is Zhao Tuo, who is also worthy of my Lord to visit? He should come to see him naked!!"

Zhang Budo was furious. In his opinion, Zhao Tuo despised his own king. He shouted: "If he insists on the king to go, the king will lead the army of Chu and Wu to visit Nanyue!"

The other Shiren were not as radical as Zhang Budo, but they all felt that this was not feasible.

Luan Bu said seriously: "Although Zhao Tuo has surrendered, it is only in name. In fact, he is still the enemy of the big man. The king must not take risks with himself."

Zhaoping nodded, and said somewhat unnaturally: "Zhang Budo is right, he really can't go to Nanyue. On the one hand, he is not sure whether Zhao Tuo has any bad thoughts, and on the other hand, as the sage of the clan, how can he go? Meet an alien king like Zhao Tuo?"

Zhang Budo glanced at him, "After getting along with you for so long, it turns out that you can speak human words."

Zhaoping snorted coldly and ignored him.

Ji Bu said thoughtfully: "It's just, I don't quite understand. Then Zhao Tuo is not a fool, how could he do such a thing? He should know that the king will never go to Nanyue, why would he want to do such a thing? What about sending envoys?"

Jia Yi said: "I heard that this person is old, maybe he is not as good as before."

Liu Chang stroked his chin, also thinking about it.

"Perhaps it's time to meet his envoys and see what they mean."

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Luan Bu said quickly, "Your Majesty, don't be reckless about this matter. Zhao Tuo is a cunning fellow by nature, and you should not be gullible. I'm afraid that the envoy will provoke Your Majesty with his words, and Your Majesty will be impulsive."

With a look of disdain, Liu Chang shouted, "The widow is not wishful, how can it be provoked by words?"

Zhang Budo said, "Your Majesty, why don't I go to the envoy to arrest the ministers, interrogate them in person, and ask Zhao Tuo's purpose from him!"

"No!"

Luan Bu objected: "The strong enemy of the big Han is in the north, Zhao Tuo has no idea of ​​expansion, and only wants to protect his own land. Such a person is not a threat to the big Han, and he will be messing around in the country until the big Han is finished. If you have a powerful enemy, you can attack him. You don't have to worry at all."

"What's more, Nanyue is a barren and barren land. Now Zhao Tuo is doing the king's teaching there. In the future, when the Han takes back Nanyue, it will save a lot of effort."

What Luan Bu said was not wrong. In history, it was the King of Nanyue who completely incorporated Guangdong and Guangxi into the Chinese cultural circle. His contribution to Southeast China was enormous.

Nanyue is not easy to fight, but Nanyue cannot easily attack Dahan, and the threat to Dahan is far less than the Huns.

When Liu Chang returned to the palace, the queen mother was discussing this matter with several ministers.

Whether it is the Queen Mother or Chen Pingren, the attitude is the same, no.

Empress Lv looked very angry, she frowned and said solemnly: "Zhao Tuo, a traitor, has no intention of surrendering, he sent someone to invite Tang Wang to Nanyue, just to find a reason for the revolt. That's all, this traitor, I can't help but get rid of!!"

"Which traitor is your mother trying to get rid of?"

Liu Chang walked in, sat casually beside the Queen Mother, asked carelessly, and then glanced at Chen Ping.

This made Chen Ping quite unhappy, and he always felt that the Shuzi was referring to something else.

The queen mother looked at Zhou Bo with a stern face, and asked, "If you want to attack Nanyue, how many troops do you need?"

Zhou Bo was taken aback, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Chu Wu and other places need to send corvees to clear the way for the people, and recruit another 40 soldiers before we can go to war."

Empress Lu was furious and scolded: "When Chen Xi was in chaos, the total number of troops who attacked him was only [-]. Could it be that Zhao Tuo's forces are so much stronger than Chen Xi?! Are you deceiving me that I don't understand soldiers?! "

Zhou Bo said helplessly: "The Queen Mother, the terrain of South Vietnam is more complicated than that of the North. If you use soldiers from the North, it will be difficult to adapt to it, and the soldiers from the South are not the soldiers of the North Army. There is room for retreat, if they hide in the mountains, they will not be able to completely eliminate them."

"Therefore, a large number of southern soldiers are needed, step by step, and nibble at every step, in order to completely eliminate South Vietnam."

However, Empress Lv did not quite believe in these remarks. In the end, she still distrusted people like Zhou Bo. Liu Ying always trusted her ministers unconditionally, while Empress Lv did the opposite and always doubted them. Ministers, in history, Empress Lv also often discussed national affairs with her attendants, and lacked trust in these ministers.

At this time, Guo Meng, the general who served as Taiwei Zuo, got up and said proudly: "I only need 10 horses to capture Zhao Tuo alive and bring him to the Queen Mother!"

Empress Lu was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Liu Chang laughed loudly from the side.

Guo Meng frowned and asked: "The minister and the king have never had a festival, and they have always respected him. Why does the king laugh at the minister?"

Liu Chang said, "I didn't laugh at the general, I just remembered a very interesting thing."

"Don't interrupt me, sir!"

Empress Lu said displeasedly, Liu Chang shook his head, and said: "Mr. Gai once asked me to manage history. He once told me one thing. When King Qin wanted to annex Chu, he asked General Wang Jian. Wang Jian said that he needed 60 people. , but the young general Li Xin said that 20 people are enough, so the king of Qin appointed Li Xin as his general. Immediately, Qin suffered an unprecedented defeat. No wonder Gaigong asked me to manage history. Useful."

Hearing what Liu Chang said, Empress Lu frowned again and pondered.

Guo Meng said angrily, "I am not someone like Li Xin."

"My teacher once told me that to destroy South Vietnam, at least 20 soldiers are needed. You can go out with 10 horses? It's a pity that my father didn't let the general attack Xiang Yu. If the general came, I'm afraid Leading 3 people can kill Xiang Yu, right?"

Guo Meng's face was red and his ears were red, and he was suddenly speechless.

Empress Lu said: "Zhao Tuo is capricious and has no faith, so he shouldn't just let him go!!"

"Mother, you don't understand soldiers, you don't know, this South Vietnam is not better than the Xiongnu, although it is not as strong as South Vietnam, but in that terrain, if you let the Northern Army go over, you will be killed and injured before encountering the enemy. To destroy Nanyue, we can only use the troops of Chu and Wu, and it is best to divide their tribes first, and canonize the leaders of the tribes under Zhao Tuo as kings, reward them with a lot of money, and disrupt Zhao Tuo’s country!”

"Gather some people as the guides of the big Han, and lead them to go deep into South Vietnam, set up more cities and camps, control water sources, block roads, use fire to attack more, open roads, and migrate people." Liu Chang said seriously about his plan, He was very serious.

Zhou Bo, who was listening on the side, looked at him with some doubts.

Liu Chang talked eloquently, and after he finished speaking his thoughts, Empress Lu asked hesitantly, "How long will this take?"

"About five or six years, or longer."

This made Empress Lu immediately dismiss the idea of ​​crusade against Zhao Tuo in the short term, but Zhou Bo couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is this the plan of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Liu Chang was furious, "I was speaking for the general just now, how can the general despise me so much? I have learned the art of war with the Marquis of Huaiyin for decades. Do I still need to ask the master for such a simple strategy?!"

Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "This strategy is not simple. Your Majesty has the capital of a famous general."

Liu Changda was overjoyed, "Mom, why don't you go and fight Nanyue, let me go on an expedition!"

Empress Lu glanced at him, and it was clear that this Shuzi was Li Xin!
Empress Lu still looked at Chen Ping and asked, "What should I do about this?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, "The Queen Mother, you can invite Zhao Tuo to come to Chang'an to hold the ceremony, and then you can let the emperor come to watch the ceremony for him."

Liu Chang couldn't help but pursed his lips, tsk tsk, as expected of you!

"Mum, I want to see that envoy, but I always feel that Zhao Tuo suddenly sent an envoy, there must be something else. Maybe he wants to collude with me and rebel together. If he really has such an idea, Then I will pretend to cooperate with him and take the opportunity to destroy him, if his army is in South Vietnam, it will be very troublesome, but if he dares to attack, the country of Chu can completely destroy his army!"

Liu Chang suddenly said.

The faces of several ministers turned pale, and the ghost knows whether you are really cooperating or not cooperating.

"Okay, let's go see you first."

"But, remember, don't be rude to him. Since you can't deal with Zhao Tuo for the time being, you can't provoke him."

"Mother!! Don't worry!! I have followed Zhang Xiangxueli for many years! I never do anything rude!!"

Liu Chang said proudly.

"You said!!! Is that servant Zhao Tuo trying to lie to me!! Does he want to kill me?! Or does he want to fight with me?!!"

Liu Chang rode on the envoy's body, pinched the envoy's neck with both hands, and roared angrily.

"You said it!! Why didn't you say it!! Are you looking down on me, Chang Liu?! You thought I wouldn't dare to cook you?!"

Liu Chang growled.

Luan Bu coughed, and then said, "Your Highness. Of course you can't tell when you are pinching his neck. Let go, he's rolling his eyes."

"Oh."

Liu Chang immediately let go of his hand, the envoy coughed violently, looked at Liu Chang with panic-stricken eyes, wiped his tears, and then wailed: "My king has no ill intentions! I just admire King Tang and think I just want to meet King Tang!"

"Meet me? Nai Gong is not a beautiful woman, what is there to see! Don't tell the truth!"

Liu Chang was furious, he pressed his minister to the ground, and raised his fist.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This man can't hold your fist!!"

Ji Bu hurried forward, grabbed Liu Chang's fist, and discouraged him.

"No, this fellow deliberately concealed it, I have to kill him!"

A few of them came forward at the same time, and just stopped King Tang, the envoy hurriedly got up, took a few steps back, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, my lord is sincere. Before I came, my lord had repeatedly instructed , I must meet the king of Tang, and the king also said that if the king thinks that the journey is far away, we can also meet in the state of Wu.”

"Huh?? Meet in Wu country? Zhao Tuo goes to Wu country?"

Liu Chang doesn't believe it anymore, isn't this fellow afraid of being caught?
"You can bring people to meet you on the edge of Wu State."

Only then did Liu Chang understand that the co-author was preparing to meet on the border. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. It was because of the terrain that South Vietnam was difficult to fight, not because of the strength of the soldiers. , will definitely crash.

"Does he really admire me?"

"Nature is true"

"Hahaha, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Liu Chang stepped forward with a smile, supported the envoy and sat by the side, the envoy touched his throat, but I want to say, you have to give me a chance to speak. I just entered the palace and didn't say a word. , was pressed to the ground and nearly strangled to death. Even the barbarian kings in the south would not be so rude to him. This Tang king was even more barbaric than the barbarians. Compared with him, the southern barbarians seemed to be knowledgeable and reasonable. suave.

Liu Chang put his arms around the envoy's shoulders and wrapped his arms around his head, and asked in a low voice, "Does the King of Nanyue want to rebel?"

The envoy was shocked, "Don't dare! Your Majesty never had such thoughts!"

Liu Chang was angry again and scolded: "A man lives in the world, how can he live in the world for a long time?!"

Zhang Budo looked extremely excited. If Luan Bu hadn't dragged him, he would have stepped forward and shouted long live.

The envoy looked at Liu Chang in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty going to rebel?"

"Of course! I have already made a perfect plan! All the princes are willing to obey, and Tang is extremely powerful. What does the King of Nanyue think? Would you like to fight with me?!"

The envoy was stunned, trembling, and said, "Great... Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very concerned about your Majesty, why do you want it?"

"Humph! In this world, Liu Ying is sitting, but I, Liu Chang, can't sit?!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is right!"

Zhang Budo shouted.

The rest of the house people also shouted, "It should be like this!!"

Looking at the rebels in this room, the envoy's face was pale and his hands were trembling, "My king doesn't have such thoughts."

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and said viciously: "In that case. It seems that I can't leave you alone. I will kill you first, causing the war between Dahan and Nanyue, and I will start a fight from it! Luan Bu! I hacked him!!"

"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!! Forgive me!!"

The envoy looked pale, knelt in front of Liu Chang, and said, "My king has admired His Majesty for a long time. If His Majesty can condescend to go to Wu and meet my Majesty, my Majesty may not be unwilling to assist His Majesty in the uprising!"

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and asked, "After the uprising, who belongs to this world? Divide it together, or do you respect me?!"

Looking at Liu Chang's fierce face, the envoy hurriedly said, "I don't know!"

"Huh? Luan Bu!"

"Respect the king! Respect the king!"

"Hahaha, okay, let's have a banquet!"

Liu Chang held a banquet to entertain the envoy. The envoy sat aside and just smiled. He wanted to see whether Liu Chang really wanted to rebel or was cheating on himself, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like this. It's fake, his lover looks like the same, especially one of the younger lover, who is so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Liu Chang gulps the meat and asks proudly, "How many troops do you have in South Vietnam?"

"Your Majesty, the army of Nanyue is only [-]."

"One hundred thousand? Oh, my Tang Dynasty has 30 soldiers!"

"Nature is not as good as the king."

"How much food do you have in South Vietnam?"

"There is little arable land, and there is not enough food."

"Oh, the grain of my Tang country is piled up like a mountain, enough for my army to last three years!"

"The mighty king!"

The envoy looked at the arrogant, reckless, and arrogant king in front of him, and his heart was full of speechlessness. What kind of family environment created such a prince?
After the banquet was over, the envoy said goodbye and left. Liu Chang then looked at the few people around him and asked, "How is the widow acting? Does it look like a rebel?"

"Like, it's too similar! If it can be a little more restrained in the future, it will be more like it!"

Liu Chang said with a smile: "Zhao Tuo has always had different intentions, but he doesn't dare to act rashly. If he finds out about my situation, he will definitely encourage me to make trouble. At that time, he can deceive him and make him feel that the state of Chu His army went to pacify the rebellion, and when he took the opportunity to attack Wu, he wiped out his army in one fell swoop, so that South Vietnam could be pacified!"

Ji Bu pondered for a long time and shook his head, "I'm afraid Zhao Tuo will not be so easily fooled, he is a talented person."

"Even if there are no soldiers who can deceive him, you can still catch him at the border of Wu State!"

"If you can't even catch him, then you can also inquire about their facts and see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Anyway, we won't suffer!"

But at this moment, the envoy who returned to the post house was a little restless.

He did not expect Chang'an's situation, especially the move of Tang Wang, which was beyond his expectations.

Perhaps, South Vietnam can use Tang Wang?
The envoy was still thinking about this when he went to see the Queen Mother the next day.

"The King of Nanyue is honorable, how can King Tang go there? Why don't you invite him to Chang'an, and the emperor will come to watch the ceremony!"

The queen mother rebelled against the army, but the envoy was not surprised. He replied calmly: "The king is old and wanted to come to Chang'an to see the emperor very early, but I can't hurry."

"Tang Wang is also young, so I'm afraid he won't be able to catch the road."

Empress Lu replied coldly.

Then the envoy said: "My great king can meet with the king of Tang on the side of Wu Yue."

Hearing this sentence, Empress Lu was a little suspicious. Why did this Nanyue King just want to be good at it?She didn't rush to refuse, but just said: "This matter has to be answered by the emperor, you go back first."

After sending the envoys away, Empress Lv summoned the ministers again.

"The queen mother, if we only meet at the border, that may be an opportunity for a big man!"

Chen Pingren did not object this time, and Zhou Bo hurriedly said, "Maybe we can take this opportunity to recover South Vietnam!"

After discussing with everyone for a long time, the queen mother decided to deal with this matter, and then let them go back.

Zhou Bo walked out of the palace and was ready to go back in the car. The guests around him whispered, "Patriarch. This is a good opportunity to destroy that powerful enemy!"

"Oh?"

Zhou Bo glanced at him and asked, "How to destroy it?"

"We can force Zhao Tuo to kill him or we can do it ourselves and frame the blame for Zhao Tuo. Although he is strong, he is good at drinking. If he is poisoned,

Zhou Bo suddenly pulled out his saber, stabbed the guest in the abdomen with one sword, and then pulled it out. The guest looked at Zhou Bo blankly, Zhou Bo pushed him off the carriage, and scolded angrily: "This is a total defense against foreign enemies. This is the case! Nanyue is my enemy! How can I abolish the public for personal reasons, and lose the big because of the small?!"

Zhou Bo left with a stern face, but the other guests began to collect the body for the man.

At this moment, Chang Liu was in the Jiaofang Hall, listening to the constant chatter of the Queen Mother.

"If you encounter a beast, you are not allowed to hunt! Let the armored soldiers deal with it!"

"Don't eat the things that Zhao Tuo sent! Don't drink the wine that Zhao Tuo sent! Don't get close to the women that Zhao Tuo sent!"

"I have prepared something for you, just eat these! Don't talk to passers-by for no reason! Don't get close to anyone, even the old and the weak!"

"When someone asks for help, let your benefactor go, and don't go there yourself!"

"I see, I see, Ama, how many more times do you have to say it?"

"It's not the first time I've been there"

"Ah."

"Go get ready, I have arranged a few imperial doctors for you."

Liu Chang jumped up and rushed out of the Jiaofang Hall.

Empress Lu looked at his back, stretched out her hand, and wanted to say something, but she didn't have time to say it.
