[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

"Father, hug!"

Liu Fu sat upright, one in each hand, holding his two sons together on his lap, "Let's see, it's sinking again, I really didn't eat less!"

"Father, I want to ride a big horse! You let me ride a big horse!" the youngest son cried.

Liu Fu pinched his nose and shook his little head, "How old are you, and you still want to ride a big horse? Does anyone have high kneecaps?"

"It's not the big horse," said the eldest son, "it's the big horse that Eunuch Zhao often let us ride! Father, hurry up!"

Zhao Duo's face twisted into a bitter gourd, "Little ancestor, I'm going to play with you, my majesty is not a big horse."

Liu Fu understood, "What a boy! You want to ride your father and me like horses!"

"Father—" the youngest son coquettishly elongated his voice, and kissed Liu Fu's face several times with his wet little mouth. Hugging his face vigorously, Liu Fu laughed loudly, "Want to ride?"

The two sons shouted together: "I want to!"

"Okay, then dad will let you two brats ride for a while!"

Zhao Duo was taken aback, and quickly stopped him, "Your Majesty, this is impossible!"

"Nonsense! There's nothing you can't do." Liu Fu slapped each of his little buttocks with both hands, and slapped off the sons who were stuck to him. Each of them glanced at them, and then put his hands on the ground with a serious smile. Kneeling on the ground, "Which of you two will go first?"

The palace people saw that the king had knelt down, and hurriedly knelt down together. Zhao Duo walked forward with his buttocks on his knees, "Your Majesty, come here as a slave!"

"That's all right," Liu Fu commanded, "Liu Zhang, come to me, Liu Zhan, you go to Zhao Duona."

Liu Zhan flatly refused: "I don't want to ride Eunuch Zhao! I want to ride Dad too!"

Liu Zhang had already rolled onto Liu Fu's back, seeing that Liu Zhan was coming up too, he pushed him away with all his strength, "Father told me to ride, you go to Eunuch Zhao's place!"

Liu Zhan continued to straddle Liu Fu with his legs up, "No, I want to ride too! Why can you ride?"

"Because Dad let me ride."

"I'm also Daddy's son, why can't I ride?"

"Just can't ride!"

Seeing the two boys quarreling on his back, Liu Fu said, "Liu Zhang, get off me first."

Liu Zhang reluctantly went down, Liu Fu got up from the ground, raised his finger and pointed at his back, "Anyway, there is only one father, and there is no difference between the two. Let's fight, come on, have a good fight." Let's break it, and whoever wins will come up in the end."

He walked to the side, sat on the bluestone slab, leaned against the vermilion painted railing, and said to Zhao Duo: "Go, bring me some melon seeds."

Zhao Duo took the order, dumbfounded.

"Accordingly, in this kind of thing, we should put literature first before martial arts, and courtesy before soldiers, but you two are so old that you don't know all the words, so let's stop talking about those literature." Liu Fu took the melon seeds , "Crack" opened one, "If you want to talk about martial arts, tsk, everyone can't even draw their bows, and they can't even hold their swords. In this way, you two can swing the eight fists, and I will decide the winner for you."

When Liu Jing came over, the two little nephews were rolling into a ball on the ground, surrounded by palace people, but no one was fighting. The worst thing was Liu Fu, who was half lying on the side, nibbling melon seeds in his spare time!

As if he didn't think it was messy enough, he yelled while eating, "Liu Zhan! Work harder, don't be kept under the pressure, won't you be beaten!"

"Liu Zhang, if you put your leg on him, he won't be able to get up!"

Liu Jing couldn't bear it anymore, bent down and pulled one away with one hand, and shouted at Liu Fu: "Brother, what are you doing! Is there anyone like you!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Fu spat out a mouthful of melon seed husk, "You don't know, when you don't remember anything, I just beat you for fun."

Liu Jing didn't come up in one breath, and almost lost his breath.

Liu Fu beckoned and called his sons over. The two sons wanted to hug his waist, but he pushed them away in disgust, "Your body is so dirty, don't rub it on me!"

Liu Zhang pursed his mouth, his eyes were wet, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Liu Fu raised his jaw, "Has the winner been decided? Nope. They were all born by the same father. They fight back and forth, whoever wins, and is covered in ashes for no reason, making it a joke for others to see for a long time." .”

Liu Zhan had been weak since he was a child, and had been making trouble for so long. At this time, his face turned red and he started coughing. Liu Fu said to Liu Zhang, "Take your brother out to rest for a while. It's fun to change clothes, go!"

Liu Zhang nodded, but didn't move. He opened his two small arms towards Liu Fu and raised his face, "Father, kiss!"

Liu Fu turned his gaze around his face three times, but couldn't find a clean place to slap him, so he rejected him coldly.

Liu Zhang cried, took Liu Zhan's hand and walked out.

After the people left, Liu Fu turned to Liu Jing with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Tell me, the two brothers compete for a position, can there be any good?"

Liu Jing felt that there was something in his words, and shook his head, "Let's watch while walking, we are fine."

Liu Fu laughed out loud, as a sign of agreement.

"Brother, I'm here to tell you something." Liu Jing said seriously, "You already know about Chen Qian's corruption, right?"

Liu Fu gave him half of the melon seeds, "Got it, Yushi said it early in the morning, it's not a big deal."

"This is corrupting the state affairs, why is it not a big deal?" Liu Jing was about to put the melon seeds in his mouth, but he put them down again when he heard the words, and frowned.

Liu Fu smiled, "You don't understand, we are in charge of Baofenjin."

"There is no one who divides money between the king and the courtiers." Liu Jing scoffed.

"Chen Qian was poor since he was a child. It is said that things must be reversed. Now it is natural to love money. You have never seen his house in Taiyuan. After he surrendered, he was burned by King Zhao. The courtyard at home is built just like the imperial garden. Now that the world is uncertain, it is the time for employing people, and he loves to collect money, so let him collect a little, it's not like I, Dayong, can't afford him."

Listening to his voice, Liu Jing said "Hey", and was about to speak when Liu Fu interrupted first, "Go and eat your melon seeds."

"Hmph... I heard that Mister was also very poor in the past, so why is he always rebellious?" Liu Jing chatted for a while, then suddenly asked: "By the way, Mister, did you believe in Taiyuan?"

"It's all routine."

"Then..." Liu Jing looked at Liu Fu, "Have you written to him yet?"

"Of course it's also a routine, otherwise what would I write for him?" Liu Fu sighed, he patted his hands lightly after he finished eating melon seeds.

"You can write with him as we both write letters." Liu Jing said in a low voice, "When I was in Luoyang before, whenever you wrote me a letter, don't look at your husband's secretiveness and silence. In fact, you are more interested Everyone is big."

Liu Fu remained silent, remembering that when he was in Zhaodi, Wang Sheng crossed the Yellow River and returned the troops to him. Before he left for Chang'an, he went to see him off. After staring at him for a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty, when you are free, write a few letters to your minister." He was stunned for a long time before he realized that Wang Sheng had also been jealous of Liu Jing. .

Liu Fu came back to his senses and looked down at his palm, "There are a lot of medicinal materials sent, so he can understand my thoughts. It's just that before Xiangyang is recovered, my heart is hard to calm down."

Liu Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Fu stood up, "That's all! I have to discuss with the generals about recovering Xiangyang."

Feng Shui turns.After Liang Yu usurped power, Liang Yan's sons were in chaos. Liang Yu was busy putting out the fire and had no time to look north.So one year after the fall of Xiangyang, Liu Fu raised an army of 15 again and went south to recover Xiangyang.

True to his word, he ordered Geng Yu to lead 3 men as the vanguard, while he himself led a large army to march behind. As soon as the supply of food and grass was supplied, Kuai Mao of Chang'an and Yuan Mu of Luoyang would jointly deploy it.

Liu Fu took a boat and went down the Danshui River. As soon as he arrived in Shangluo, he heard the news of Geng Yu's success in Xincheng.He walked downstream for a few more days, and then he heard the great victory of Huyao City, the great victory of Rang County, and the great victory of Xinye... The victory news came one after another. At the beginning, Liu Fu would hold it in his hand and praise him. They became numb, and some even looked at it twice, and wiped the table as soon as the good news from Gucheng was delivered.

He knew Liang Jun's strength very well. With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it was okay to fight on the boat, but if he really pulled it to the ground to fight in the field, except for the army that accompanied Liang Yu in the battle, the rest were nothing to worry about.He never put Liang Jun in his eyes, and the real headache was Xiangyang City - he could look down on the southerners, but he couldn't look down on the city walls of Xiangyang.

Liu Hao's ability to defend Xiangyang City for nearly a year without reinforcements is enough to prove that the city's strength cannot be underestimated.After Liang Jun captured Xiangyang, he wanted to use it as a springboard to plot the Central Plains. He also knew that Liu Fu would send troops to fight for this place sooner or later, so he has been expanding the defense and consolidating the city defense for the past year. The real tough battle is yet to come.

When Liu Fu saw Geng Yu again, he felt that he was very different from before he left for the expedition.He is like a polished spear, no matter whether he will break or not, he just keeps stabbing forward.What he wanted was a wise general, not a desperado who didn't know when he was going to die under the city wall of Xiangyang.So when Liu Fu's army arrived at the city of Xiangyang, the first thing he did was to replace Geng Yu.

"Your Majesty, let the last general go!" Geng Yu was so anxious that he almost begged.

In all battles of siege, Liu Fu never personally participated in the battle, and he was also in charge of the central army at this time.He purposely brought Geng Yu by his side, but he didn't let him go to the battle, and let him watch every day, trying to grind his temper.He sits on the chariot every day, commanding the siege without moving. By the way, he looks at Geng Yu from the corner of his eye, admiring how anxious he is like a fish on a grill, flipping over and over again. appearance.

"My lord, I beg you at the end!"

"What's the rush? I'm not in a hurry." Liu Fu said with a serious expression, "With such a high city wall, I don't want to think of other ways. Every day is a storm, and it doesn't matter who goes into battle!"

Geng Yu hurriedly said: "There will be a plan in the end!"

"Oh?" Liu Fu raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it."

"Now that our army is pressing down on the border, Liang's army is afraid. They will not be able to hold on. Attacking the city by force will only increase the loss. It is better to let the army retreat a little bit and pretend to attack elsewhere; send another army to pretend to dig the Han River to fill the city. Liang The army must send troops to compete with me for the river embankment. At this time, we can't fight with strength. We should delay with them. If we seem to win, we will lose.

"Okay!" Liu Fu was delighted, looked around, and asked intentionally, "Who can lead the army?"

Geng Yu knelt at his feet with a "boom", "Your Majesty! The last general is willing to go!"

Liu Fu looked at him deeply, "Okay! General, don't let me down."

Geng Yu really did not disappoint him. Liang Jun broke out of the encirclement and increased his troops three times in a row at the river embankment. Liu Fu personally guarded the outside of Xiangyang City, and deliberately let people relax the siege, leaving an opening for them to go out.The two sides fought at the edge of the Han River for several days, and it was hard to tell the winner. Finally, the ambush soldiers of the Yong army came out and made dumplings for them all. The battle ended in less than half a day.In the end, only Geng Yu's army came back, and Liang Jun was either killed or taken prisoner. He fled back to the city with the remnant soldiers, and even mixed in with the spies specially sent by Yong Jun.

On that day, Liang Jun came out at night. Yong Jun thought they were going to attack by surprise, so they shot arrows one after another.After putting it on for a while, I didn't hear the sound. After approaching with a torch, I realized that they were all tied up straw figures.Liu Fu naturally understood what was going on. He knew that Liang Jun had further considerations besides using this to supplement the arrows.If his predictions are correct, after Liang Jun has played the trick of straw men borrowing arrows a few times, when Yong Jun is relaxed and no longer guarding against their bluff raids at night, he will send down a real person one time and kill them by surprise. .There is no way to guard against this kind of plan, after all, you can't guard against it every night. If you want to distinguish the true from the false, you will be led by the nose. Liu Fu is old in military affairs, so naturally he has his own way.

He didn't care which time Liang Jun was false and which time was real, as long as Liang Jun sent someone down at night, no matter whether it was true or not, he would send troops on duty at night to make noise and attack the city, and beat him for real.As soon as he attacked the city, Liang Jun had to get up and take precautions no matter whether he was in a dream or not. Later, Liang Jun finally didn't dare to let anyone down at night, but Liu Fu had tasted the sweetness and refused to stop.He also knew the benefits of falsehood and reality, so he used his own way to deal with his own body, relying on his large number of people, sometimes he really attacked the city, and sometimes he just sent a small team to pretend to attack.At night, there is not much difference between 1 people and 1000 people. Liang Jun can't tell the truth from reality. It didn't take long for the army to become exhausted.

Seeing that the time had come, Liu Fu assembled all 15 troops outside Xiangyang City, and divided them into three teams to attack day and night.The city wall that Liang Jun had smeared with blood a year ago was again painted with Yong Jun's blood this time.At this time, there is no shortcut, and when the pile of corpses is as high as the city wall, they will be able to enter Xiangyang City.

As the setting sun went west, under a blood-red sky, the city gate of Xiangyang was finally knocked open amidst a rumbling noise.Geng Yu stepped onto the city wall first stepping on the corpse, carrying a bloody Yong character flag, and planted it on the top of the city with all his strength.

He knelt down, grasped the flagpole with both hands, put his forehead on the ground, raised his head again, and sighed with tears: "Geng Yu will never fail the general for what happened today!"

Liu Fu was not in a hurry to enter the city, he ordered people to pile up a mound of earth outside Xiangyang City, each soldier had to add a handful of earth, and he himself carried a pot of earth and slowly sprinkled it.This is a jar of homeland he brought all the way from Chang'an, and he wants to let his uncle and those soldiers who died in a foreign land know——

Chang'an is here, they are going home.

His uncle died here, not even a body or a piece of clothing left, and the same goes for all the soldiers who died here.He built a huge tomb for them, but there were no bones in it, not even their clothes, only the soil soaked in blood—the blood of a comrade who had just died and was used for a year Memorial to the soldiers who died here before.The three armies shouted in unison: "The soul is back!"

The cries startled the crows in the distant forest, their black wings fluttered across the crimson sky, attracted by the flesh and blood, they couldn't go circling above them.Liu Fu sat high on his horse, watching the city of Xiangyang in silence.This is a city wall built of bones and filled with flesh and blood, every inch of it is covered with blood.I don't know how many brave souls gathered here throughout the ages, looking at the great banner of the Yong army, and it is planted on this city again today.

The big flag with the word Yong on the top of the city suddenly swelled up and made a buzzing sound!

The setting sun was cut off by the distant mountains, and blood poured down from the sky, dyeing the surrounding fields in a bright red color.Looking at the dilapidated city wall, before Liu Fu's eyes, there suddenly appeared a picture of Liu Hao leading the remnant army to defeat the Liang army's offensive again and again at this time a year ago.He stood quietly on the horse, as if he was watching the tall figure that he had looked up to since childhood collapse in such a bloody color; he watched the Yong army in the city change from 2 to [-], to [-], to [-]. None of the last ones left.

He suddenly felt a wave of bewilderment and desolation beating in his chest, which he couldn't get rid of, so he asked for a pen and paper, and wrote frantically on the horse's head:

The flags were reset across the Han River, and the jackdaws turned to Jingxiang in horror.

Hundreds of feet of the dangerous city are suddenly dyed, not the blue blood but the setting sun.

Then he threw down his pen, swung his whip sharply, and rode his horse towards the city.
