Han Shizu

Chapter 1181 Master Wang has conquered the enemy capital
"Your Highness, Qin Guogong and his party are approaching!" An aide and military officer in casual clothes came in and reported with his hands clasped.

Hearing this, Liu Yang, who was chatting with Murong Defeng, got up immediately, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, follow Gu to meet him!"

When he was about to go out, Yi Cheng was holding a roll of account books, hesitatingly preparing to present it.Seeing this, Liu Yang winked at Murong Defeng, told him to accept it, and ordered: "Check it out!"

"Yes!" Murong Defeng accepted the order.

"Yi Cheng!" Liu Yang looked at Yi Cheng again.

"The villain is here! Please order, Your Highness." Yi Cheng bent down very low.

"Prepare a banquet!" Liu Yang ordered lightly.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Yicheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "I wonder what your Highness wants from the banquet?"

"A request?" Liu Yang sniffed the smell of roasted lamb in the air, and said with a chuckle, "Let's prepare a whole lamb feast!"

The crown prince Liu Yang was out of the palace this time, of course not simply for a picnic visit, but knowing that Liu Xu, brothers Liu Fang and Zhao Kuangzan, who were on behalf of Tianxunhun, were about to return to the court, so they came here to greet him.

This is not the arrangement of Emperor Liu, it is considered Liu Yang's own opinion, after all, they are also brothers, and they have a good relationship since childhood.

On the side of the post road, under the guard of some casual attendants, Liu Yang settled down ahead of time and stood in the cold wind, wearing simple clothes, except for a cotton outer robe.

The car drove slowly, the dragon flag was flying in the autumn wind, and the knights guarded the front and rear. When they noticed Liu Yang, three knights galloped over to check the situation.

It's impossible not to pay attention, after all, the people around Liu Yang are all mighty and powerful, holding swords and crossing swords.However, when the accompanying military officer stepped forward to report his identity, one of the three knights turned around and reported, and the remaining two respectfully got off their horses to salute, begging for forgiveness for the crime of collision.

Liu Yang's mind is not so small, those who don't know are innocent, and they are also responsible.Not long after, brothers Liu Xu and Liu Fang, together with Dongping King Zhao Kuangzan, stepped forward hand in hand to salute Liu Yang.

"I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! With such a cool breeze, why bother the Crown Prince to welcome him personally?" Liu Xu stood in the middle and bowed long.

Seeing this, Liu Yang also showed a gentle smile, and said: "Brother, you and I brothers, you don't need to see each other, I also come to spring outing in leisure, and I heard that you are coming back from the northern tour, so naturally I should welcome you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Xu still kept his ministerial integrity.

Looking at Liu Xu, Liu Yang secretly sighed in his heart, their older brothers have always had a good relationship since they were young, but as they grow older, each of them starts a family, and as they get married, this relationship will inevitably happen some changes.

The biggest change among them is the difference between the monarch and his ministers, and the gap between the relationships is getting wider and wider.As for Liu Xu, he is probably the most obvious among all the brothers. He has always followed the rules and regulations, and he is very clear about brothers and ministers.

Personally speaking, Liu Yang didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this change.

"King Dongping, you have worked hard all the way!" Liu Yang bowed to Zhao Kuangzan again.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangzan naturally did not dare to accept it, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is too polite, I dare not be a minister!"

Compared to Liu Xu, Liu Fang was obviously much more natural. He clasped his fist at Liu Yang: "Second brother, find a place to talk about it. Brother, my stomach is empty. I don't know if there is a banquet prepared."

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help laughing: "I've been ordered to get ready, go, follow me to Yanxi Station, and clean up the dust for you! Please!"

"His Royal Highness please!"

In the old room of Yanxi Station, a sumptuous banquet was being enjoyed by four people.The hustle and bustle of the post was no longer there. After their identities were revealed, people outside consciously controlled themselves and kept their movements down, so as not to disturb the nobleman, whether they were eating or walking.

Several people drank and talked, and the atmosphere finally became more active. The most relaxed person had to be Liu Fang, who was holding a scorched lamb spine in both hands, and gnawed until his mouth was oily.

Seeing that several people noticed him, Liu Fang took a silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "The mutton cooked in our Central Plains must be more delicious!"

Then, Liu Fang asked Liu Yang: "Second brother, how is the battle in Dali going? I heard that the army is in some trouble!"

Without waiting for Liu Yang's answer, Liu Fang said again: "However, you are busy with military and political affairs, and you manage a lot of opportunities every day, and you can still spare time to go out of the palace. I think the war in the southwest has also made some progress!"

Wei Wei glanced at her fourth brother in surprise, only to see his confident and curious appearance.Next to him, Liu Xu saw him, and immediately said, "Si Lang is good at military affairs, if it involves military aircraft, it's inconvenient to talk about it."

Liu Yang raised his hand to stop Liu Xu, and said with a light smile, "It's not a secret anymore! As Shiro said, a major breakthrough has been made in the Dali War. Ten days ago, the Privy Council received the victory report from General Wang Renshan, which caused great damage to our army. The troublesome Nongdong Mansion has been breached, [-] enemies have been killed, and more than [-] people have been captured."

Glancing at the three of them, Liu Yang continued, with a smile on his lips: "Three days ago, the Privy Council received another report from Wang Quanbin, the recruiter from the Southwest. Before Nongdong broke through, General Wang led the West Road Army, It took one and a half months to cross the high mountains and valleys in the north-central part of Dali, break through more than two thousand miles, and hit the city of Yangjubaa, the capital of Dali.

The main military force in Dali is deployed in the Nongdong, and the city is empty. Faced with the descending of the old general Wang, Dali's monarchs and ministers were caught off guard.Although he embraced the danger of Cangshan Mountain and organized a stubborn resistance, he lost in a hurry after all. General Wang went into battle in person, not taking a chance to catch his breath, and spared no effort to attack day and night, resisting for three days, and the city of Yangjubaa was broken! "

"Old General Wang is always strong and strong, a real hero!" Hearing this, Liu Fang couldn't sit still for a while, clapped his hands and praised: "With such an old body, he has done such a courageous thing, and he has accomplished such a remarkable feat, which is admirable. I wish I could follow suit, crush the enemy's capital, and capture their rulers and ministers!"

Liu Fang's eyes were full of brilliance, and once the excitement passed, he couldn't help but said, "If I had known that the imperial court was going to send troops to the south, I would never have gone to the Northwest for a walk! Tell me, is Dad worried about me calling for a war? Deliberately let me go to the northwest."

As soon as he said this, Liu Xu frowned, and immediately reprimanded lightly: "Si Lang, don't be rude!"

Liu Fang is not an impolite person, he probably knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he smiled embarrassingly, and he didn't learn the lesson of resisting his brother.

Looking at Liu Fang, Liu Yang sighed slightly: "The difficulty of the southern expedition is far beyond your imagination. Even I will not easily agree with you to take risks in the mountains in the southwest!"

Hearing this, Liu Fang expressed dissatisfaction: "I know your scruples. The mountains are high, the forests are dense, the barren land is full of poisonous insects and miasma. However, I also went to Lingnan back then and participated in the Southern Expedition. It is not so terrible!"

Listening to his words, Liu Yang said seriously: "Do you know how many soldiers were lost in the Southern Expedition until the city of Yangjubaa was destroyed?"

Noticing Liu Yang's serious expression, Liu Fang looked more serious and asked, "There were a lot of casualties?"

Liu Yang replied in a deep voice: "According to the reports of the two kings, the casualties and missing soldiers amounted to [-]. Among them, half of the soldiers were injured without fighting. The West Route Army led by General Wang, marched for days, They risked their lives to attack again, and there were more than [-] people when they set off, and after the city of Yangjubaa was captured, only half of them were left."

Liu Fang finally fell silent, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy with some light data. After all, it represented the bloodshed and sacrifice of countless soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xu sighed softly: "One general is successful and his bones are dead! The soldiers of the Southern Expedition have worked hard, they are all heroes, and the soldiers who sacrificed should all enter the Zhaolie Temple!"

Suddenly, he felt that the meal was not delicious. Seeing the performance of these brothers, Zhao Kuangzan took the initiative to speak up and said, "Since the city of Yangjubaa is broken, Dali should be basically pacified!"

Liu Yang nodded, then shook his head again: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. After the city was broken, the monarchs and ministers of Dali led the remnant soldiers and fled to the southeast to Shanchan Mansion. Although the West Route Army broke the city, it also suffered huge casualties. Exhausted, too late to pursue.

Now the big Han occupies only a few prefectures and ministries in the northeastern part of Dali, which is far from controlling the whole territory.Shanchan Mansion is also an important place in Dali, and its monarchs and ministers died here. According to their stubborn resistance, the war may not end in a short time.

However, now that the capital city is broken, the monarchs and ministers have fled, and the whole country is in shock, the local forces in Dali are even more afraid to make enemies with the big man. In the southeast, Lu Huaizhong sent Pan Chongche to lead the army to threaten.

It can be said that the battle situation in Dali has basically stabilized, and it is only waiting for the follow-up pursuit.The Political Affairs Hall has received an edict and started to deal with the governance of Dali after the war."

After listening to Liu Yang's words, Liu Fang stood up, raised his glass and said, "With this cup, I would like to honor the soldiers of the Southern Expedition and commemorate the dead heroes!"

Seeing this, Liu Yang, Liu Xu, and Zhao Kuangzan also stood up.

Zhao Guogong Liu Fang is still a lover.
