Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 905 Becoming a Man
Building ship port.

This is the port established by the Lou Chuan Army. It is located at the southernmost tip of Shendu and is responsible for the safety of this sea area.

The general who sits here is the school lieutenant of the Louchuan Army, called Tian Jia. This is a very young school lieutenant who is deeply loved by Zhou Shengzhi and stays here.

After the mighty fleet arrived here, many ministers in the body had already got up to greet them.

Shentu Jia and A Lie rushed to meet each other, with Shentu Jia in front and A Lie behind.

Liu Chang was very happy to help them up, and the soldiers kept getting off the boat, one after another, Ariel looked at the soldiers from time to time, his eyes were full of envy, what Liu Chang brought These armored soldiers perfectly interpret what is called a tiger wolf teacher. These people are strong, covered in armor, and fully armed. There are more than 3 people under Ariel's command, but can those 3 people draw such a thousand dollars? Secondary armor, this is really a big problem, mainly because the armor of these soldiers is not ordinary armor, this thing is called fish scale armor.

With the development of Han forging technology, fish scale armor has become a common equipment of Han generals. This armor has a great effect in defending against sharp weapons, and can even block bows and arrows from a long distance. The elite team brought out by Liu Chang , This is simply wishing for two sets of one person.

The weapons they carried were also dazzling.

Ariel looked at the spear shining with cold light, almost overflowing with envy.

This is the most advanced equipment in Dahan, the essence of Dahan's smelting technology.

They even had many weapons that Ariel had never seen before, such as some firearms, and strange wooden pieces hanging on their bodies. Ariel wanted to catch a soldier and ask them.

However, in the southern part of Shendu, the climate is very, very hot, and the heat is unstoppable. It is really unbearable for those soldiers to wear such armor. At that moment, some generals led them to build camps and take off their armor. Not big men The armored soldiers do not have strong perseverance, but in such hot weather, unnecessary casualties are prone to occur while wearing armor. The soldiers got busy, and Ariel just stared at them.

"Allie Allie"

Liu Chang yelled several times in a row, Aleigh woke up suddenly, turned his head quickly, looked at the emperor at the side, and hurriedly saluted and said: "I lost my mind, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Liu Chang smiled complacently, "It's okay, it's okay, these are the elite of the big man, why, you want it too?"

Allie shook his head hastily, "Don't dare. It's just that the soldiers under my command are nothing compared to these elites."

Liu Chang interrupted him, and said seriously: "Don't underestimate yourself, the soldiers you brought are not too bad. I heard that you brought the soldiers to fight against the Parthians a few days ago. Repelled Anxi's main army?"

Ariel scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "It's not the main force."

Shentu Jia on the side laughed and said seriously: "General Ale is too humble. The Anxi people bypassed Pakistan and sent cavalry from the north to explore the road. They wanted to determine the local map and route and interfere with commerce. General Lie led the cavalry to fight against them, completely defeated Anxi's cavalry outside the stone city, and killed General Anxi with his hands. I have already reported this credit to the temple. I'm afraid I missed it with Your Majesty."

Liu Dachang laughed, "You are worthy of being my general! Well, that's how it should be. How can we let the intruder get away with his body?"

Xiahouzao and the others also laughed, Xiahouzao even stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and even chatted with him with poisonous language, Zhou Shengzhi was stunned, this guy actually has such a skill? ?

Xia Houzao and the others took A Lie to chat, while Liu Chang took Shen Tujia a few steps.

"How's the situation?"

Liu Chang asked.

Because Shendu is too far away from the temple, Shen Tujia and the others will handle everything, without waiting for the temple's reply.

Shen Tujia narrowed his eyes and slowly talked about the situation.

"Shendu has been relatively calm these days. The countries of Shendu have accepted the rule of the big man, and there is no more resistance, and there are no major conflicts in various places. The goods of the big man are more and more circulated here. It can be seen that the local people are proud of wearing Han costumes, and the nobles all speak elegant words. I originally wanted to thoroughly promote elegant words among the people, but the nobles actually objected. They think that the people at the bottom should not use elegant words.”

Shen Tujia shook his head helplessly, "The most difficult thing to deal with now is the Peacock King."

"King Peacock is a Gongyang Confucian scholar. After he inherited the throne, he wanted to abolish the past system and use the principles of saints to govern the local area. Therefore, in the country, his relationship with the nobles is very bad and very rigid."

Liu Chang knew about Shendu, the Confucian-born peacock king, that the slayer was named the peacock king by him, and his prince studied in the Taixue, and later returned to China to inherit the throne.

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Has he not given up yet?"

Shen Tujia shook his head, "These people who ruled Gongyang are a bunch of lunatics, you don't know, this person wrote letters to King Xia, and the Gongyang Confucians in Taixue, telling about the situation here. Yang Confucian came all the way from Chang'an to help him. The Peacock King always wanted to change. He ordered the abolition of slaves three times, forbidding nobles to kill slaves, and ruined several nobles, distributing their land to the rest of the people. Speaking of it, I also admire him, he is an upright person, but his behavior caused me a lot of trouble."

Shen Tujia seemed a little hesitant.

The nobles who are poisoned are really inappropriate. They are nothing compared to the tyrants of the big men. Many of their actions against slaves are unspeakable. They are so cruel that it makes the scalp tingle. It is even more terrifying than King Zhou. The Peacock King wants to change this, distribute the land, abolish slaves, unify the currency, and promote the law. Is this wrong?In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Benevolent governance and love for the people are what the great man pursues.

However, although these ideas are good, they can cause some controversy, which makes the nobles very dissatisfied, conflicts break out, and the country is very unstable.

Shen Tujia didn't know how to treat the Peacock King anymore. After all, body poison was not the domain of the big man, and the big man also had his own interests in body poison.

Seeing Shentujia's hesitant expression, Liu Chang laughed.

"General Shentu, do you know why all the ministers don't object when the big man goes out now?"

"Because the big man is strong"

"No. It's because of Fochub."

"Ok??"

Shen Tujia looked at Liu Chang suspiciously, and Liu Chang said seriously: "When we went to North Korea, many people in the country opposed it. They all thought that the big man had become a brutal country, and they went to attack other countries, wasting money and sacrificing their lives. The lives of the soldiers are only for plunder, no different from the Huns, it was Fuqiu Gong who overcame all opinions and put forward a plan."

"I understand."

Shen Tujia recalled it for a while, and then suddenly realized, because that incident was very influential in the big man, and few people didn't know it. Liu Chang continued: "Duke Fuqiu said at the time that this big man's mission is also."

"He believes that the countries around the Han Dynasty do not know the truth and right from wrong. Know the truth and right and wrong, so that the local people will no longer suffer from hunger, cold, and bullying by tyranny."

"He then published a book to support his point of view, and then everyone in the country stopped opposing the expedition."

"I think, in terms of interests and life, the big man still has to choose to be a man. I am a big man who is a state of etiquette. It is by no means that the Peacock King of the Huns wants to change the situation in the country. Of course, he is still young and his ideas are too radical, but you can also A little bit of help. Those nobles don’t have to be wooed. I don’t want my officials to stand beside these insects because of their interests. The big man needs poisonous food and cloth, but this does not mean that in order to get these, The big man has to starve to death and force the poisonous people to death, regardless of the life and death of the local people."

"This is not the practice of the state of etiquette, nor is it a long-term practice."

"Despicable methods are not suitable for big men, do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Tujia frowned slowly, and said seriously: "I see."

"Hahaha, don't take these nobles too seriously, don't you still have Ariel? If your reasoning doesn't make sense, let Ariel tell them."

Liu Chang relieved Shentujia's worries, and he immediately knew what to do.

Everyone rested in this port for a few more days, but Shen Tujia had already left.

But Ariel has always stayed outside the mansion where Liu Chang lived.

Xia Houzao couldn't stand it any longer.

"You came in, the filial piety period has passed, just eat a few cups with the emperor, why stay outside the door?"

Allie said solemnly: "It's okay, I'm here to guard, you can eat and drink as much as you want."

"Nonsense, even if you're not guarding here, we can eat and drink at ease. Who can be detrimental to the emperor here?"

"You must guard against it!"

"Prevention means that there are thieves coming out. Are you protecting the emperor or the emperor protecting you? I'm not kidding, the emperor is more than enough to beat you."

"This is the duty."

Xia Houzao was taken aback, and grabbed Ale by the neck, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he dragged him and walked into the mansion. Liu Chang was sitting in the courtyard, discussing the landing plan with Zhou Shengzhi beside him, when he saw Xiahouzao Xiong hugged A Lie, A Lie struggled hard, Xiahou Zao blushed, dragged him to the mansion with great effort, and shouted out of breath: "Yafu! Yafu! Bind this guy!!"

Liu Chang glared at him, "Let go!"

Only then did Xia Houzao let go of his hand, and said helplessly, "This guy refuses to come in, so I have to drag him in myself. I didn't expect that the strength is not weak, and I almost lost my face."

Liu Chang smiled and waved, and let Ale sit beside him.

A Lie sat next to Liu Chang anxiously, probably because of his past background, A Lie has always been sensitive in these aspects.

After Liu Changshang settled the rest, he looked at A Lie, "What are you doing outside the door? Do you want a reward?"

Ariel hurriedly got up, and said in fear: "That's not the case, Lord Shentu ordered him. He said he was going to handle important matters, and asked me to stay and protect His Majesty. Lord Shentu also told me what you said to him. "

Ariel seemed quite moved, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I cannot repay my minister even if I die."

Xia Houzao and Zhou Yafu looked at each other, not understanding what they were talking about, of course Liu Chang knew it, and he said kindly: "Don't say that, I don't want you to die, it's not my benevolence, it should be like this .I am not those vassal kings who are poisoned, I am the Son of Heaven."

Allie saluted him again.

Seeing A Lie coming, Zhou Shengzhi walked to his side with a smile, "You came just in time. I have one thing and I want your help."

"We want to attack Anxi from the waterway. We need to let Anxi adjust the deployment of troops. I need you to take your soldiers and pretend to attack Anxi to involve their troops."

That night, Allie summoned many generals under his command.

Everyone sat in the mansion, and Ariel sat on the upper seat, looking at the people below.

Allie's army is currently the most poisonous army, and most of its members are the low-level people who were originally despised. In the past, because of their caste, they were either unable to go to the battlefield or had to fight. Discrimination is everywhere from promotion to promotion, and those mediocre people who have nothing to do are holding important positions. The caste system is the main reason why the combat effectiveness of poisoned soldiers is low. No one is inherently weaker than others, but under such a system, Those generals are mediocre, no matter how much credit the soldiers make, they will not be promoted, and the victory or defeat of the war has nothing to do with them.

Under such circumstances, how could they fight hard with the enemy?Of course, it is an army that will collapse at the touch of a button.

Ariel looked at the people under his command and said seriously: "Everyone, you all know how we were treated in the past. The emperor came this time to discuss major issues with Shentu Gong. His Majesty believes that we should support Peacock. King, abolish many unfair systems. Distribute farmland, allow us people to wear beautiful clothes, speak elegant words, let our children also enter schools to learn characters, and give the same rewards as us, and those who have military merits can be rewarded .”

"In the past, we fought for others, and victory and defeat had nothing to do with us. But now it is different. Now, we are fighting for ourselves. We can also get corresponding promotions and rewards, and our children and families can also To be respected is to live a human life."

"Everyone, we will feign an attack on Anxi this time to attract their main force and give His Majesty a chance to land."

"This time, I hope that everyone can follow me and don't retreat! Unless I die in battle, I will not retreat!! We will create the most landing time for Your Majesty!!"

Everyone stood up abruptly, drew out their knives one after another, and shouted: "I would rather die than retreat!!!"

"The whole army rests and sets off tomorrow!!"

The emperor hadn't left the port yet, but Ariel's poisoned soldiers had already left.

Everyone didn't have too much hope for the poisonous soldiers. Although this army is already the most capable army among the poisonous soldiers, there is still a gap between them and the rest soldiers. It usually takes six poisonous soldiers to replace them. A Parthian soldier, this is already considered to be a capable general of Allie. Let them feign an attack, just to attract the Parthian's idea, so that they can take the opportunity to attack their royal city.

When Ariel led the army quickly through the territory of the Ba Kingdom and rushed towards the territory of Anxi, the Anxi border guards were shocked, and hurriedly dispatched soldiers to attack Ariel's army, trying to take advantage of the fact that these people came from afar. Opportunity to eliminate them, do not give them a chance to rest.

But no one expected that the poisonous soldiers suddenly exploded with astonishing combat power. Under Ariel's charge, they directly tore through the Anxi people's defense line and chopped off the head of General Anxi who came to stop him.

When Ariel held up the enemy's head and shouted with all his strength, the poisonous soldiers took advantage of the situation and stormed, and even captured the Anxi border.

The Anxi people were completely shocked. The king of Anxi first angrily denounced the incompetence of the frontier guards, and then mobilized troops to destroy this poisonous army. They believed that these troops were the main force of the big man. Captured the border.

Allie began to arrange a defense line at the border, and was ready to head-to-head with Anxi's main force.

At this time, a large number of light cavalry appeared in the north of Anxi, and they plundered in groups in Anxi. In a short period of time, dozens of villages were plundered by them, the roads were paralyzed, and the scouts were killed. This caused even greater shock to the Anxi people. The king of Anxi believed that the big man was about to start a general attack on himself, and hurriedly deployed troops to the north and south. The strong men in the country were continuously recruited, and the Anxi Empire began its own Preparation.

Anxi's first batch of troops rushed to the south, with a total of more than 5 people, and launched a fierce attack on Ariel in the south, but Ariel remained unmoved and repelled their attacks one after another. , and even took advantage of the night to take the initiative to attack and burn down their siege equipment, which made the Anxi people frustrated. As for the north, the situation was even worse. They ran behind and watched them act recklessly, and whenever they got tired of chasing, the opponents would suddenly gather together, from scattered to whole, and directly counterattack the Parthias. They almost thought it was the Huns who declared war on them, but the Huns It has been moved to a place further west, what is the situation? ? ?
The pressure from both sides kept the resting king awake at night. They even withdrew their defensive forces in the west and turned to the defense of the east in an all-round way.

At this time, in the thick fog of the night, a huge fleet slowly appeared on the sea south of Anxi, and countless warships approached the shore silently.

"Boom~~~~"

With the sound of thunder, the sleeping soldiers woke up. When they boarded the sentry tower, the battleships in the distance had already lined up, and with the flickering flames, huge shells rushed towards them. The tower was submerged in an instant and completely turned into ruins.

Under the cover of the battleship, the soldiers easily completed the landing and rushed towards the city.

Xia Houzao charged forward, his eyes wide open, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and roared angrily.
