Dahan first prince

Chapter 171 Your Majesty!Your Majesty~~~
Thousands of miles away, the capital of Zhao is Handan.

In the middle of the night, the emperor Liu Bang could not sleep peacefully.

"Chen Xi..."

"Hu Qi..."

Wearing an underwear, lying on the soft couch with one hand resting on his forehead, Liu Bang couldn't help frowning as he looked at the briefing in his hand.

Under Liu Bang's low and annoyed whispers, Zhou Chang had already walked into the hall for a long time, and Zhou Chang didn't dare to open his mouth to pay his respects.

After such a long time, I saw Liu Bang's face froze!
"Zhou Chang!!"

"Why don't you come?!!!"

A sudden shout of anger finally provoked Zhou Chang to step forward quickly and bow his hands to Liu Bang.

"Chen...Chenchang..."

Just after halfway through the salutation, Liu Bang waved his hand a little irritably, and immediately signaled Zhou Chang to come forward.

When Zhou Chang came to him quickly, Liu Bang also sat up straighter on the soft couch, and the briefing in his hand was stretched out in front of Zhou Chang.

"have a look."

"Sent by King Yan..."

He took the briefing in response, spread it out, and looked at it carefully for a long time before Zhou Chang raised his head with a solemn expression.

Seeing that Zhou Chang seemed to be about to speak, Liu Bang waved his hand again with an easy-going expression.

"Don't rush to speak."

"I asked, if it is possible, you will nod; if not, you will shake your head."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chang also smiled gratefully at Liu Bang, and nodded immediately.

"Um······"

I saw Liu Bang slowly getting up from the soft couch, with his hands behind his back, pacing left and right for a while, and then looked sideways at Zhou Chang.

"Chen Xi's actions are at the end of the road, so Fang did not hesitate to lure the Xiongnu to the south for foreign aid."

"If I will plan, let the Xiongnu send troops to the south, and then join the Xiongnu and Chen Xi to destroy them..."

Without waiting for Liu Bang to finish his sentence, even as soon as he heard the words "the plan is the plan", Zhou Chang stood up excitedly!
When Liu Bang frowned suddenly, Zhou Chang forced himself to sit back on the banquet, and only a moment later, he shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing Zhou Chang's posture, Liu Bang's expression darkened a little, and he turned around a little excitedly, facing Zhou Chang, with his hands behind his back, and his upper body slightly leaning forward.

"The crown prince has already built the Zhengguo Canal, and even used the strategy of official grain and rice management to balance the price of grain in Guanzhong; from now on, the court will no longer be in danger of running out of grain!"

"So, can't it?"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Zhou Chang wanted to shake his head again, but after hearing the unwillingness in Liu Bang's tone, he couldn't help pondering for a while, and then looked at Liu Bang again with the intention of asking for instructions.

Looking at Zhou Chang's 'Can I talk?' almost written on his face. ', Liu Bang also waved his hands carelessly.

"Just say it!"

Zhou Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was allowed to speak, and tried to calm himself down for a while in order to speak more smoothly.

When Liu Bang frowned impatiently, Zhou Chang took a deep breath and gave Liu Bang a little bow.

"My... Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

"The power of the Huns... the power of the Huns lies in... Yu Qi (jì)."

In the middle of speaking, Zhou Chang patted his mouth slightly annoyed, causing Liu Bang to loosen his eyebrows a little, and his face became calmer.

Seeing that Zhou Chang was annoyed for a while, he seemed to have reached an agreement with the unsatisfied mouth, and tried to continue: "The Huns... the Huns... ·····The pawn, do the best... to ride."

"It comes... Comes and goes... As... Like the wind, chase... Chase... No... No... Impossible ······and."

"If... If you want to... War... War... The Huns, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Do it ······ Must ride······"

Seeing Zhou Chang whimpering for a long time without saying a word, Liu Bang couldn't bear it, and took a step forward with a gentle face.

"The Marquis of Fenyin wants to say: The soldiers of the Xiongnu are all cavalry. If I want to fight, I should be a cavalry army that can rival me?"

Seeing that what he wanted to say was said by Liu Bang effortlessly, Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded silently.

Seeing Zhou Chang nodding, Liu Bang straightened up helplessly, Yang Tian let out a long sigh, and asked softly with the last trace of unwillingness in his heart.

"If you want to fight the Xiongnu, or go north to drive Hu cavalry to Damu, how many cavalry do you need?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chang thought for a while, then patted his mouth angrily, then raised his hand in Liu Bang's direction, and raised his index and middle fingers.

"Two...twenty..."

"Ah~"

Hearing Zhou Chang say the number 'twenty', Liu Bang sighed again, stopping Zhou Chang from saying the last word.

"20······"

"20~"

Shaking his head full of regret, Liu Bang finally sat back on the soft couch shaking his head and sighing, showing helplessness on his face.

"For the horses of the Huns, those who are widowed ride two horses, and those who have more, even one rides three horses."

"If you want to get 20 cavalry, even if our Han family is small, you should also get 50 war horses..."

After speaking, Liu Bang finally shook his head full of regret, turned sideways, and laughed at himself at Zhou Chao.

"I am afraid that the day when my warrior of the Great Han will chase the Huns to the north with a halberd..."

"I'm afraid that after a hundred years, the crown prince will be bullied by barbarians..."

"At that time, I'm afraid that Yan and Dai will be on the side wall, and there will be years of wars, endless horses, and the people will not be able to live..."

Saying this in a heavy tone, Liu Bang sighed again, and finally looked out of the hall with distracted eyes, falling into short thoughts.

And beside Liu Bang, hearing Liu Bang's extremely pessimistic outlook, Zhou Chang subconsciously wanted to speak and try to say something.

But I don't know if it was because he was worried that the words would not flow smoothly, or because of other concerns, Zhou Chang finally lowered his head and did not speak again.

——Emperor Liu Bang, 61 this year...

Although Liu Bang's father, the late Supreme Emperor Liu Xie who died only last year, died at the age of 85, but Liu Bang's situation obviously cannot be compared with Liu Xie's.

——The late Taishanghuang Liu Xie, almost from birth until he was about 60 years old, was always a nobleman with rich clothes and good food!

It wasn't until the 22nd year of the first emperor, when the state of Wei was destroyed by Qin, that Liu Yu's father, Duke Wei Feng, fled from Daliang, the capital of Wei, to Fengyi with his sixty-year-old son Liu Yu and his "young grandson" Liu Bang, who was over thirty years old.

Even after the death of his father and the decline of his family, the late Supreme Emperor Liu Xie did not suffer too much.

——When Qin unified the world, Liu Xie was already a sixty-year-old man; Liu Bang, the third child in his family, was already over thirty.

At this age, even if the third son Liu Bang is unreliable, with the eldest son Liu Bo around, Liu Xing would not want to farm the fields himself.

Later, the "unreliable" third son rose up to fight against Qin, and Liu Xing played Cuju with his friends in his hometown Fengyi;
After the fall of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was crowned King of Han, and Liu Yu, who was held hostage by Xiang Yu and left in Fengyi, still played Cuju at home with his friends.

Later, Xiang Yu Wujiang slayed himself, and his son Liu Bang was established as emperor. In order to let his father play cuju with his friends, Liu Bang even moved his hometown Fengyi to the vicinity of Chang'an!

——The kind that even people are intact!
It is no exaggeration to say: from the birth of King Qin Zhaoxiang in the 25th year until his death last year, that is, the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, during the 85 years of his life, the late Supreme Emperor Liu Yu never had a hard day!
On the other hand, Liu Bang first spent the first half of his life in Fengpei's hometown, and he was lucky enough to marry a daughter-in-law when he was in his forties.

If Liu Bang failed to marry a wife, Liu Fei, the illegitimate son of Liu Bang and the widow of Cao in the next village, would probably be the only evidence of his existence in Liu Bang's life...
Afterwards, he raised troops to fight against Qin, and Liu Bang continued to fight for years, and even experienced such dangers as Hongmen Banquet, living in Hanzhong, and Pengcheng's defeat.

Up to now, it has been more than ten years since Liu Bang raised his troops to fight against Qin.

If it is counted from the time when Dangshan was released and led Zhou Zao, Zhou Chang and others to become bandits, Liu Bang has been fighting outside for nearly 20 years...

In the past 20 years, except for the recent few years after he became emperor, he could occasionally stay in Chang'an for a year and a half, and at other times, Liu Bang was almost either fighting or heading to the battlefield. on the way.

Such hard work, even a strong man in his 30s and [-]s, sometimes can't bear it, let alone the old emperor Liu Bang, who is over sixty years old and his teeth are starting to fall out...
"Ugh······"

"After this battle, only Peng Yue and Yingbu will remain among the princes with different surnames in the Kanto region."

"I hope His Majesty will do his best quickly, and return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and have a peaceful life in two years..."

With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Chang raised his hand without any trace, and wiped the 'sweat' on both sides of his nose.

And not far in front of Zhou Chang, Liu Bang finally recovered from his long thoughts, let out a long and leisurely sigh, and finally brought his thoughts back to his eyes.

"Um······"

"So, if Chen Xi has not conferred the title, the Huns will never go south?"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Zhou Chang regained his composure, and hurriedly nodded to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang nodded slightly, slapped his thighs with both hands, stood up, put his hands behind his back again, and took two steps slowly.

"Since that's the case, I will quickly put an end to the Chen Xi rebellion!"

"In addition, I should send an order to the King of Yan. No matter what, I should stop the Huns from going south!"

As he spoke, Liu Bang turned around and saw Zhou Chang nodding his head agreeingly, before pointing his finger at another brand new scroll of bamboo slips on the wooden table.

"The intention of the King of Yan is that when Chen Xi sent envoys to ask the Xiongnu to rush to help, I should also send envoys to the north to frighten the Xiongnu from going south."

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Zhou Chang was about to nod, when Liu Bang retracted his hands behind his back and narrowed the corners of his eyes slightly.

"However, I think that instead of sending envoys to the north, it is better to display tens of thousands of troops on the north wall!"

"With hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers stationed, and with high walls and strong cities to rely on, even if the Huns intend to go south, they should be afraid and not go forward!"

"If the Xiongnu insist on sending troops south, I can even fight and use up the spirit of the northern barbarians!"

"In this way, if something unexpected happens to me in the future and a new king succeeds me, the north wall of our Han family will also enjoy peace for several years..."

Hearing Liu Bang say 'display the army on the north wall', Zhou Chang first looked anxious!
After hearing the following sentence, "If something unexpected happens to me", Zhou Chang's face was anxious, but then quietly turned into a touch of worry...

"Could it be..."

"Could it be that Your Majesty has already felt that his life is numbered..."

While thinking about it, I saw Liu Bang turning around slowly, looking at Zhou Chang, the previous palpitating determination was no longer there.

"The Marquis of Fenyin thinks, what should I do..."

"Adhere to King Yan's advice, send envoys to scare off the Huns, or stick to your own opinion and try to fight the Huns?"

Hearing Liu Bang's helpless tone, and seeing Liu Bang's slightly pleading eyes, Zhou Chang didn't know how to answer for a while.

As usual, when Liu Bang asked "Should I fight the Xiongnu", Zhou Chang would definitely be the first to stand up and explain to Liu Bang in all directions without any dead ends: it is not the time to fight the Xiongnu.

But now, looking at Liu Bang's eyes looking at him, Zhou Chang no longer knows how he should refuse the faint prayer...

——A father who feels that his time is numbered, in order to prevent his son from being bullied by his unruly neighbors after his death, he wants to teach his neighbors a lesson before he dies!
What's more, this father didn't expect to kill or subdue that unruly neighbor, he just wanted to hurt his neighbor and create a little fear in his heart, so that after his death, his son could grow up steadily for a few years...
"minister······"

"minister!"

In an instant, Zhou Chang could no longer hold back the surging tears, gushing out of his eyes like a water pipe losing its valve.

Boom!
A dull sound came, which also made Liu Bang's nose sore.

Without waiting for Liu Bang to step forward and help Zhou Chang, who was kneeling on the ground, Zhou Chang was prostrate on the ground crying, hitting his head on the ground with a bang...
"His Majesty······"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty~~~"

These few "Your Majesty", Zhou Chang finally did not stutter.

But listening to the "Your Majesty" accompanied by kowtows, Liu Bang couldn't care less about being happy that Zhou Chang stopped stuttering.

"Whoo~"

Gently opened his trembling lips, exhaled carefully, and suppressed the tears in his eyes, Liu Bangcai slowly stepped forward and gently lifted Zhou Chang from the ground.

When Zhou Chang lifted his head with tears running down his cheeks, revealing the somewhat reddened swelling on his forehead, Liu Bang could only hold back his tears and squeezed out a twisted smile.

"Hey······"

"hey-hey······"

"The children and grandchildren are still crying when they are around their knees..."

"If the grandson at home sees you and thinks you are Zhou Chang, I have deceived you..."

Hearing Liu Bang say this in a gentle tone, and even calling himself "Wu" which is rare in several years, Zhou Chang didn't bother to raise his head at all, and just covered his mouth tightly with his hands, so as to prevent the crying from being heard as much as possible. outside the temple.

Seeing Zhou Chang like this, Liu Bang didn't try to persuade him much. He just patted Zhou Chang on the shoulder as he did many years ago when Zhou Chang, Zhou Zao and others trapped their brothers in Dangshan.

"Let's go."

"I see..."

"Spring is coming, according to Hu people's customs, the Xiongnu should lead their troops north to chase water and grass."

"Chen Xi wants to lure Hu Qi to the south, Hu Qi, the Huns, probably won't come..."

After saying that, Liu Bang finally turned around in a very lonely manner, wiped his eye sockets wet by the wind and sand, and waved his hand to Zhou Chang who was behind him.

"Let's go..."

"Tomorrow, I will send an order to King Yan to send envoys to the north to scare away the barbarians..."

　Huh~ That's it for today.

　　In the next few chapters, everyone should be able to guess what will happen in the bell room of Changle Palace.

　　In these chapters, I'm afraid I need to spend more time and polish them.

　　If it goes well, it will be sent out this evening. If it doesn't go well, it may not be until tomorrow morning, or even tomorrow morning.

　　Call ~
　　Soldiers~
　　Nervous hands are a little trembling.

　　That's it, good night everyone.
