Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 345 The Marquis of Huaiyin!Will you go to war!

Emperor Gao was not as good as Han Xin in fighting, Zhang Liang in strategy, and Xiao He in governing the country, but he was able to achieve great things because he could use these three people.

As for why Emperor Gao was able to appoint these three people, this has to mention the two advantages of Emperor Gao, knowing people and social fear.

Emperor Gao has a wide range of friends, no matter what kind of people, he can quickly make friends, no matter what circles he can get into, there is no estrangement at all, he has never cared about anyone's vision, and the king has also inherited and promoted it very well. This is a major feature of Emperor Gao.

It took him only three hours from knowing these barbarians to deciding to take them to clean up the Dian Kingdom.

As a well-known master of fire in Chang'an, Liu Chang made the leader suffer a lot in a few words, showing his great dissatisfaction with the Dian Kingdom. It is composed of the Chu people, with the unique arrogance and frivolity of the Chu people, and shows a strong sense of superiority in the face of the surrounding tribes.

They stipulated that within the Dian Kingdom, people were not allowed to ride on horses and carts, and if they were found, they would be executed immediately.

Only noble men could ride horses, and noble women could ride in carts.

They have a Ji Tian ceremony every year, and the queen is responsible for it. This sacrifice is very different from the agricultural sacrifice in the Central Plains. This difference is mainly reflected in the field ceremony in the Dian Kingdom.You must know that killing and offering sacrifices has always been strongly condemned in the Central Plains. Since the Zhou Dynasty, those who dare to kill and sacrifice have been cast aside. Now, even the most stupid kings dare not say that they will bring living people. sacrificial.

The leader here said angrily: "These savages, even we know the truth of using grass people to replace living people, they arrest the dead from all over the world every year, kill them for sacrifice, and sometimes even take our people to sacrifice. !! They know Dahan won't trouble them with our business."

Mr. Fan touched his nose and said nothing. In his opinion, both the Southwestern barbarians and the Dian barbarians are savages.

The more the leader said, the more annoyed he became, and in the end, his tone was almost complaining.

"The officials insulted us and counted the cultivated land and the grain produced. The emperor ordered to exempt the land tax, but he said that we are not in the agricultural register, and we cannot be exempted from farming for generations. Why can't we be regarded as farmers?!"

"Dian people dare not provoke people in the county, but they are rude to us. We use bows and arrows to protect ourselves. Officials say that we rebel. As long as we rebel, they will be promoted, sooner or later."

When the leader said this, Zhou Shengzhi, Fan Yan and the others' faces changed drastically.

Lu Lu scolded angrily: "What do you want to do?!"

Complaining that the temple is not good for him in front of Liu Chang is a provocative act in the eyes of Qunxian. Is this a plan to openly rebel?
The leader woke up with a start, and hurriedly said: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, the king spares my life!"

At this moment, Liu Chang's expression was extraordinarily solemn.

There was no more flirtation, he pulled the leader and sat down again, poured himself the wine, and drank it all at once. The wine flowed from the corner of his mouth and slid all the way into the placket of his clothes. Liu Chang frowned. He looked even more majestic, and everyone around him dared not speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became deserted.

"The widow will tell you the truth, the widow originally wanted to use you to conquer the Dian Kingdom."

"But when you say that, the widow is a little angry."

The leader was even more frightened, his face pale, "Your Majesty. I didn't mean it"

"Don't be afraid. Let such a group of people govern Bashu, please the merchants, and humiliate the people. This is indeed the fault of the temple and the emperor and the young mansion are unknown and should be punished!"

"However. The Dian Kingdom entered by a dog! How can outsiders be qualified to bully the common people who are unwilling to bully?!"

Liu Chang slammed a fist on the case in front of him, his eyes widened, and his anger rushed towards the crown.

The leader was stunned.

Liu Chang said angrily: "In the Han Dynasty, all my people are my people. In the land of Bashu, the widow has found two qualified county governors. These two grew up with the widow since childhood, and one of them even got his grandfather. The true biography of the book will definitely be able to clean up the officials in various places. In the future, you don't have to worry about the problems of the officials."

"As for the problem outside."

Liu Chang slowly got up again and wiped the wine stains off his face, "Just wait a few days."

"Win! Let's go!"

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, he turned around and was about to leave. The leader hurriedly stood up and wanted to say something, but Liu Chang didn't give him the chance at all. The sages surrounded Liu Chang and followed him out of the village. Zhou Shengzhi was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, why do you need to be so angry? The barbarians of Bashu are only [-]. They are different from each other, and they live in different places. ."

"It is feasible to use them to capture the Dian Kingdom."

Zhou Shengzhi stroked his chin and said seriously, "No matter how many people die in battle, the king will not feel distressed."

While Zhou Shengzhi was talking, Liu Chang wrapped his neck around him and dragged him to his front. Zhou Shengzhi was so hounded that he couldn't move. Liu Chang asked earnestly, "Shengzhi, can a widow be the Sixth Form of the Central Plains? The king of the county, or the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty naturally wants to be the emperor, then the emperor should abdicate to you long ago!"

Zhou Shengzhi instantly confessed, and Liu Chang said: "Since he is the emperor of the world, what is the difference between the people of Shu County and the people of Chang'an? Are the people here not the people of the widow?"

"You recognize them as subjects, but they may not agree with you!"

"Hahaha, Li Bing can do it, but no one can do it?!"

Liu Changda laughed and pushed Zhou Shengzhi away. Zhou Shengzhi didn't dare to say anything more, and looked at Mrs. Fan as if asking for help. Mrs. Fan laughed loudly, "Your Majesty is right! They paid the tax. , then you have to protect them, otherwise, why do you want them to pay taxes?!"

Zhao Mei looked at Fan Yan with some surprise. How do you say it is like a thief?Receive money and keep people safe? ?

Liu Chang agreed, he patted Fan's shoulder, "Although you are not as smart as them, and a little stupid, they can't say anything you say!"

Hearing the king compliment him, Fan Fan couldn't help but laugh. After laughing for a while, the smile suddenly solidified again, stupid? ?
"Then what is the king going to do next?"

Lu Lu asked.

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Go and behead."

"Who cut it?"

"The King of Dian."

"Your Majesty, although the Dian Kingdom is weak, it can still gather tens of thousands of troops. We have hundreds of people."

Zhou Shengzhi frowned. He didn't object to cutting down the King of Dian, but he was worried about Liu Chang's safety. No matter how weak the Dian Kingdom was, it would still be a country. With hundreds of thousands of people, it would be a bit difficult for hundreds of people to destroy such a country. .

Zhao Mei was also a little hesitant, "Your Majesty, the Dian Kingdom has never intended to oppose the Great Han. You don't have to crusade them at all. If you want them to surrender, you can follow the example of Nanyue."

As he was talking, Liu Chang looked at him faintly, "The King of Dian is not the King of Nanyue. Not every small country is qualified to live in harmony with widows."

Zhao Mei, with the identity of the outer prince, couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that a few sages under his command were hesitant at the moment, Liu Chang was suddenly unhappy, "Why, you are actually afraid of the Dian Kingdom?"

"Hundreds of people use it well, how difficult is it to destroy his country?"

"Don't forget, the master of the widow is the Marquis of Huaiyin! The widow has studied the art of war with the Marquis of Huaiyin for more than [-] years. Are you still afraid that this little Dian kingdom will not be managed?"

"But Your Majesty, you are only in your early twenties"

"It's not important, the important thing is that we are not barbarians like the Dian Kingdom. We have many tactics and tactics for us to choose. If we make good use of these, even barbarians ten times our size can be easily defeated!"

Hearing what the king said, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

They are not worried that they can't beat it, but they are afraid that something will happen to the king.

Zhou Shengzhi said more clearly: "If the king insists on dealing with the Dian Kingdom, then I am willing to be the vanguard of the king. The king cannot charge first. If I agree to this matter, I will follow the king to fight. Kill me, and then go and cut down the King of Dian!"

"Hahaha, okay, you fellow, Lu! Find some guides! The few people will go to meet the King of Dian, and use him to sacrifice this year's farming!"

As the ground trembled, the Huns who had just slumped on the ground screamed loudly. They wanted to run, but they couldn't exert their strength, and they rolled and crawled towards their horses.

This is the Western Regions, and it was the reinforcements sent by the Huns to rescue Hutu who were attacked.

In the past few days, these Huns lived a miserable and happy life. Han Xin organized Tang, Hexi, Longxi, and even part of the Northern Army to launch a large-scale attack on the Huns. As he was familiar with the geography and had a lot of war horses, he always ignored the Han army and came and went freely.

But on this battlefield where both sides are unfamiliar, the situation is different. Today's big man, of course, lacks warhorses. However, he has been able to organize a large-scale cavalry battle. Under the command of Han Xin, several legions set off at the same time. , the Tang State Corps took a detour and broke the road of the Huns from the north. The Longxi Corps cooperated with the Northern Army and captured Loulan all the way, while Han Xin was sitting in the Hexi Corps, driving the main force all the way.

Zhou Bo was very silent these days.

His previous arrogance and arrogance were no longer visible.

He has always felt that the gap between himself and Han Xin has been continuously shortened. After the older generation left, Zhou Bo was still fighting, and the fighting became more and more fierce. This made his confidence increase day by day. If the current self was to direct the war with Xiang Yu at the beginning, he would not necessarily lose.

However, when Han Xin took over the battle this time, Zhou Bo instantly felt the huge gap between the two sides.

There is a kind of person that cannot be viewed with common habits of thinking. Zhou Bo thinks that his accumulated experience and skilled tactics are nothing in front of Han Xin. According to today's world, Han Xin is the first, Zhou Bo Can be the second, but the gap between the first and the second seems a bit huge.

Zhou Bo recalled several times what Cao Can said at the beginning. Cao Can once told him: The more battles he fought, the more he admired the Marquis of Huaiyin.

The other generals didn't seem to notice any difference. Zhou Bo won the battle, and Han Xin also won the battle. There was no big difference. Only Zhou Bo saw the problem, which made Zhou Bo instantly understand that he was just catching up. At the beginning of Cao Can's level, he only understood the difference between the Marquis of Huaiyin and himself.

When Zhou Bo was fighting, because of the shortage of troops, he was forced to close the door and beat the dogs, and even once wanted to sacrifice some people to destroy the enemy.Han Xin's troops are also not many, but the enemy he faces is several times his own, but Han Xin's tactic is to turn the opponent into a minority everywhere, forming in various parts to fight more and less, even the scout encounter is so stunned. It was a miserable fight against the Xiongnu and the [-]-[-]-strong army under the coercion.

The other generals just thought that Han Xin could command the troops of Tang and Longxi, so they fought more fiercely, but Zhou Bo could see that if Han Xin was in command of the previous battle, there was no need to think so much. The command ability is enough to fight the smear to find the teeth.

The generals suddenly discovered that Zhou Bo seemed to have changed people, and his aggressive demeanor disappeared without a trace.

Han Xin just smiled at Zhou Bo's change.

This guy is actually quite good, although he is far inferior to himself, but among those people back then, he was considered to be the best. His son is not bad either. Practice.

"Lieutenant"

Qin Tong had a bitter look on his face. Looking at Han Xin in front of him, he still mustered up his courage and said, "Although I don't like Taiwei Zhou, but Taiwei Zhou is a strong general after all. You let him be responsible for transporting food and grass. Isn't it a bit"

The surrounding generals secretly raised their heads and looked at the "mind-eyed" Marquis of Huaiyin in front of him.

That's right, Zhou Bo was dispatched by Han Xin to be responsible for the transportation of food and grass, logistical supplies, etc.

These generals all thought that this was Marquis Huaiyin's insult to Zhou Bo, his disdain for him, and his punishment. Wouldn't that make sense for such a tough general to be in charge of the logistics? ?
Han Xin was equally strict in governing the army. He kept his face straight, and Qin Tong was also a little scared. However, Han Xin didn't get angry because of it. He just asked calmly, "Did Zhou Bo ask you to intercede?"

"It's not true. It's just that we all feel that Tai Lieutenant Zhou is better at fighting than us."

"Then don't have to say more!"

Han Xin waved his hand and said directly: "I have already seen the approximate position of Ji Congee, the army is enough to rest, and after two days of rest, they can set off without urging the soldiers, let them rest well, who dares to express themselves privately Practice soldiers, want to please me. Behead!"

"only!!"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, but they felt a little helpless, alas, poor Zhou family father and son, who is not good to offend, offended the Taiwei, they secretly looked at the door.

Zhou Yafu was standing upright at the door at the moment. He was kept by Han Xin and became a messenger. He was a messenger.

One of the father and son is in charge of food and grass, and the other is to pass on letters and military orders. I am afraid that this time there is no military merit.

Just when Han Xin ordered everything and let the generals leave, a reckless young man broke into the camp. He gasped and walked in front of Han Xin, "Prefect!"

Han Xin looked at the big fool in front of him, "What's the matter with you?"

Xiahouzao's face was red and his ears were red, and he shouted angrily: "The captain has no eyes! He actually used my brother as a messenger! Do you know how good he is?! He also used Zhou Bo as a counselor, you know how to fight."

He only said half of what he said, and Guan A, who was on the side, rushed up in horror and covered his mouth.

"Taiwei, Taiwei, I've been fighting for a few days, and my head has been injured!"

Xiahouzao was furious, and was about to pull the water away, but Chen Mai also hurried forward. The two of them dragged Xiahouzao out, and it took a lot of effort to drag this fellow out.

Han Xin was calm from beginning to end, and didn't even look at Xia Houzao.

It wasn't until he was dragged away that Han Xin looked at Zhou Yafu who was standing at the door and shouted, "You actually let others break into the tent. You are standing here tonight, don't rest!"

"only!!"

After walking out of the tent, Xiahouzao was still a little angry, "You two traitors, he treated Yafu like that, you still help him?!"

Gu A's anger almost jumped up, "What do you know! The king didn't dare to yell at him, you're better, you want to beat him?! Your father is still lying at home, you can't wait. You want to take your father on the road, right?!"

"Hmph, if you die, you will die, so what are you afraid of?!"

Guan A looked at Chen Mai helplessly, but Chen Mai narrowed his eyes, "Stove. You almost ruined Yafu's good thing."

"Good thing??"

"The Marquis of Huaiyin kept Yafu by his side. It was clearly to teach him personally and to cultivate him as his own disciple. If you make such a fuss, if the Marquis of Huaiyin doesn't teach him, how can it be good?"

"what???"

Xia Houzao suddenly realized, "Oh, didn't I ruin his good thing? I'll go and apologize to Hou Huaiyin!"

"No, if you are good for Yafu, stay away from him. Be your vanguard!"

Guan A said displeasedly.

The two finally sent this guy away, and Guan A looked at Chen Mai and asked suspiciously, "What you said is not true, right? Does Marquis Huaiyin really want to teach Yafu?"

Chen Mai shook his head gently, "The teacher may not teach himself, it depends on how much Yafu can understand. In fact, the Marquis of Huaiyin values ​​their father and son a lot, right, have you received the king's edict? Let the two of us prepare to go to Bashu to be the county governor."

"Oh, I got it. Bashu, I can't even speak the language there, I'm afraid I can't understand what they are saying. How to deal with this?"

Guan A looks a little embarrassed.

Chen Mai is very confident, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can understand what they are saying, it is enough for them to understand what you are saying."

The army is still preparing for the war, but Zhou Bo is carefully counting the food and grass and arranging the supply route. Zhou Bo found that every time Han Xin fought, he could arrange the food and grass in the most suitable place in advance, as if he could predict in advance where the war would be. It happened the same, the time and place were so precise. Zhou Bo felt that he still had a lot to learn.

ps: Some readers think that I am in the dark of Sima Qian. In fact, if you look at the comparison, you will know that Sima Qian’s record is more real, Zhang Budo is that. The record that was indescribable and untrue before was from Sima Xi, and Sima Qian has also verified and expressed himself How can this be said to be black.
