Dahan first prince

Chapter 185 It's Also A Husband
Half an hour later, Luoyang Palace.

Looking at the burly man in front of him, who had been tied up by the soldiers, sitting on the soft couch, Liu Bang, who had a gloomy complexion, couldn't help but frowned even more.
"Who is my way, who dared to resist my edict and seize the corpse of the traitor Peng Yue..."

"Hey!"

With a sarcastic sneer on his face, Liu Bang's complexion suddenly sank.

"Luan Bu."

"Er, can you be convicted of a crime?"

Hearing that Liu Bang asked the phrase "you can be guilty" in an extremely cold tone, Luan Bu didn't change his expression, he just straightened his already straight spine even more.

"Chen, I don't know!"

He said a word resolutely, and on Luan Bu's expression, there was a touch of relief and calmness that looked at death as home.

"The minister was originally a commoner, and he was born in Liang and worked in agriculture. At that time, the king of Liang was still the head of Guiyang in Suiyang, and he had a very close personal relationship with his ministers."

"After the death of the king of Qin, the second generation succeeded him. He was tyrannical and innocent. The world was full of mourning, and the people were in dire straits. The ministers were not satisfied with farming, so they had to go alone and serve as wine merchants."

"For so many years, the wine merchant of the minister was killed by the enemy, and the minister was also captured, and the goods of the wine merchant's enemy's family were sent to Yandi, and they were regarded as private slaves."

As he said that, Luan Bu's face was already filled with a little reminiscence.

"The servants were brave enough to suffer, and eventually the family of the enemies who killed the wine merchants and forced the ministers to be slaves were awarded the head. Fortunately, Zang Tu, the general of Yan at that time, knew him, and the ministers regarded him as the captain."

"Later Zang Tu rebelled for the King of Yan, and the generals whom Zang Tu raised as a minister should have sat dead."

"However, the King of Liang thought about the friendship in the past, and he did not hesitate to offend His Majesty's heavenly power, and offered money to ransom his ministers, and he used his ministers to think that Dr. Liang..."

Having said that, Luan Bu sighed with deep feeling, raised his head again, and looked at the emperor Liu Bang who was sitting on the head full of confusion.

"Peng Yue, the king of Liang, first saved the lives of his ministers, and then took the official position with his ministers, and even made him think that he was a confidant of humerus!"

"Such great kindness and great virtue, even if I go as a king of Liang, it will be difficult to repay one or two tenths of it!"

"Now that the King of Liang is dead, and the whole family is sitting together; I have received the grace of the King of Liang for saving his life and rebuilding his life. How can I sit and see the dead body of the King of Liang in a different place instead of being buried?"

"If all the people in the world are people who are afraid of power and do not cherish virtue, accept favors and do not think about repaying them, only care about their own wealth and life, and do not know what 'benevolence and righteousness' is, how can your majesty sit on the Supreme Nine-Five? For the king of the world?"

Listening to Luan Bu's calm tone and his resolute expression, Liu Ying's complexion became darker.

After staring at Luan Bu for a long time, Liu Bang slowly lowered his head and sneered coldly.

"When I killed Peng Yue, it was Peng Yue's intention to rebel. He committed a crime against the heavens. There is nothing to pray for."

"As well as the three tribes of my barbarians, Peng Yue, and others, it is also Peng Yue who is rebellious and outrageous, and his crime should be punished."

Saying this in a cold tone, Liu Bang raised his head with a sneer and looked at Luan Bu with only a little coldness in his eyes.

"It's you, Luan Bu!"

"I first recommended it to the rebel king Zang Tu, and then appointed him as a captain for me; but after receiving my kindness, I don't think about being loyal to the king!"

"Later, I was taken in by the rebellious Peng Yue, and I pardoned you for my death crime. I don't know how to be loyal to the king. I know that I ordered to ban Peng Yue's corpse, but I still insist on my own opinion and refuse to obey the order!!!"

As he said that, Liu Bang's tone became more severe, and his gaze towards Luan Bu became more fierce.

"how?"

"Could it be that my edict is no better than Peng Yue's king's decree?!"

"Could it be that what Er Luanbu eats is Peng Yue's salary, not my Han's millet?!"

Speaking of anger, Liu Bang stood up with a partial face, and clapped his hands heavily on the royal case in front of him!

"Er Luanbu, is Han Chenxie?!"

"Er Luanbu, if you want to follow the example of rebelling against Peng Yue, you can rebel against my Han Zuoxie!!!"

Following Liu Bang's heavy hand on the imperial case, and the two extremely angry roars, the huge main hall of Luoyang Palace fell into a long silence.

Beside Liu Bang, the imperial historian Zhao Yao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but he did not forget to turn his head quietly and look at Luan Bu under the imperial steps with resentment.

Feeling the strange silence in the hall, and the two fierce eyes cast on him from above the imperial steps, only a bitter smile slowly appeared on Luan Bu's face.

Uncomfortably moving his hands tied behind his back, and adjusted his kneeling position a little more comfortably, Luan Bu carefully lowered his head and kowtowed lightly.

When he straightened up again and looked at the emperor Liu Bang on the imperial steps, Luan Bu's face was full of endless determination.

"Your Majesty~"

"His Majesty!"

"Peng Yue, King of Liang, deserved death for his crime!!"

"Your Majesty~~~"

With several mournful cries in succession, Luan Bu looked at Liu Bang with endless pain and pleading.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that in the past, when Your Majesty belonged to King Huai of Chu Huai, the Emperor of Righteousness, what did Peng Yue do when he wanted to be the teacher of benevolence and righteousness to challenge the Qin Dynasty?"

"——When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang set up Daze Township, Your Majesty was still the head of Qin Sishui Pavilion, and his troops were only a few hundred; however, Peng Yue recruited the defeated soldiers of the princes in Juye, and already had thousands of soldiers!"

"Even so, Your Majesty attacked Changyi from Dangbei, and Peng Yue and His Majesty were neither relatives nor relatives, so didn't you send troops to help?"

When he asked this question full of misery, two lines of tears were already on Luan Bu's face, and there was even a little choking in his tone of voice.

"Changyi has not yet fallen, and His Majesty led the army to the west, and the troops were still only a few hundred; however, Peng Yue gathered the defeated soldiers of Wei, and he had thousands of troops!"

"When His Majesty enters Guanzhong first and breaks through Xianyang, the number of dead is only tens of thousands. However, Peng Yue has not been appointed by His Majesty, and secondly, he will not be dispatched by His Majesty. He still leads his troops with more than [-] elite soldiers. He will follow His Majesty's army around him as foreign aid!"

"Even when Xiang Yu entered the customs and held a banquet at the grand gate, Peng Yue was not a subject of His Majesty, so he still did not forget to send scouts to investigate, lest His Majesty might be surprised!"

"After the Hongmen Banquet, Your Majesty will be crowned King of Han, and Peng Yue's troops are still nothing more than duckweeds without an owner. You will not be granted the seal of your Majesty's general, but you will be your Majesty's shield!"

"Your Majesty thinks that such a person, An Neng has the intention of rebelling and judging Han?"

With Luan Bu's mournful, bitter, and discontented words revealed all the time, Liu Bang's expression could not help showing a little emotion.

Seeing that Luan Bu sniffed his nose full of sorrow, turned his head to the side, wiped the tears on his face with his shoulder, and raised his head again.

"In the first year of the Han Dynasty, Tian Rong established himself as the king of Qi, which attracted Xiang Yu to go north to conquer; Peng Yue was appointed by His Majesty, worshiped as a general, and went to attack the Chu army in Jiyin."

"Xiang Yu sent General Xiao Gongjiao to meet the enemy and flee for Peng Yue's defeat, so that His Majesty can focus on the affairs of the Three Qin Dynasty, and there is no risk of Xiang Yu breaking Hangu again to disrupt the Three Qin Dynasty."

"In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty marched eastward with an army of princes, intending to take Peng Yue, the king of Wei, but Peng Yue refused His Majesty's kindness and let the king of Wei sit in Wei Bao!"

"——If Peng Yue is really ambitious, how can he reject His Majesty as the King of Wei at that time, and only wish to be the Prime Minister of the King of Wei?!"

Choking with sobs, he asked again, and Luan Bu's expression and tone gradually became agitated.

"In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty was defeated and fled to Pengcheng, and the situation in Xingyang was at stake. If Peng Yue hadn't repeatedly attacked, taking the risk of being encircled and disrupting Chu's grain road, how could Your Majesty have turned the crisis into safety?"

"In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty's army was still trapped in Xingyang, and there was a serious shortage of food and grass. If Peng Yue hadn't broken Changyi and obtained tens of thousands of grains and rice, what would His Majesty's army have to eat?"

"In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty finally gained power again, except Xiang Chu and became the king of the world!"

"The conflict between Chu and Han is said all over the world: Your Majesty personally led the army to fight against Xiang Yu's soldiers, the King of Liang attacked the Chu Liang Road and disturbed the army's morale, and the Marquis of Huaiyin moved thousands of miles, and finally determined the universe!"

"If at that time, Peng Yue hadn't led the army to join forces with His Majesty and the army of the Marquis of Huaiyin, would Your Majesty have made Xiang Yu Wujiang slay himself, and made Han Zuo his ancestor?"

He asked several questions one after another with extremely miserable words, and Luan Bu's face was already covered with tears and snot.

"Han Zuo was established, and His Majesty wanted to confer Peng Yue the King of Liang, and Peng Yue resigned his Majesty's award three times, and he finally accepted the conferment as a last resort!"

"Even if he is granted the title, the King of Liang will always go to Chang'an to pay homage to His Majesty, kneel down and bow his head to be a minister, without any disrespect!"

"Only this year, the king of Liang is old and sick, so he can't go with his majesty to attack Chen Xi, so he bears grudges for his majesty; and the king of Liang has always had a grudge against the eunuch, and his majesty got false accusations from the eunuch of Liang, so don't investigate and kill the king of Liang and his family. ..."

Having said that, Luan Bu shook his head with a miserable expression, and knelt down on the spot weakly.

"Your Majesty the King of Liang was loyal, and Yu Han Zuo made great contributions, but he could not end well..."

"This minister is only thinking of King Liang's kindness, but going to collect King Liang's body, I will punish His Majesty soon..."

"Alas..."

"Unfortunately..."

Sighing with vicissitudes on his face, Luan Bu finally raised his head with lax eyes, looking at Liu Bang full of despair.

"Now that the king of Liang is dead, the minister has also collected the body of the king of Liang."

"The kindness has been repaid, and the minister has no intention of living."

"If your majesty has any remaining crimes, I just ask your majesty to give you a tripod, and cook the minister with water..."

"In this way, even if I die, I will have no regrets..."

After saying that, Luan Bu lowered his head again, tied his hands behind his back, pressed his forehead lightly on the floor, and never got up straight again...
And on the imperial steps, listening to Luan Bu put the past in front of him bit by bit, Liu Bang's face was filled with endless feelings and sighs.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Bang knew clearly in his heart that what Luan Bu said was basically true.

When raising troops to fight against Qin, Peng Yue was indeed a unique alien under Liu Bang's command.

——Peng Yue, who had no appointment, no dispatch, and was not even related to him, followed Liu Bang's army hard-workingly throughout the entire anti-Qin period.

When Liu Bang wanted to attack the city, Peng Yue stepped forward to help;
If they were defeated, Peng Yue would put martial law on the periphery to cover Liu Bang's army to clean up the battlefield; if they were not defeated, Peng Yue would always stay at the end to cover Liu Bang's smooth retreat.

Liu Bang was attacked or even besieged. Although Peng Yue would not rush to help directly, he would always use other methods, such as invading the enemy's food roads and attacking enemy reinforcements, to relieve Liu Bang's pressure.

In this way until Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, broke through Xianyang, experienced the dangers of the Hongmen Banquet, and was crowned King of Han, Peng Yue and his tens of thousands of soldiers were still an 'independent guerrilla'.

Xiang Yu enfeoffed the eighteen princes, and Peng Yue's guerrillas were not 'claimed' by any of the eighteen princes.

It wasn't until the first year of the Han Dynasty, when Liu Bang launched the "Returning the Three Qins" plan, and when he was worried that Xiang Yu would intervene, Peng Yue finally got Liu Bang's first appointment.

——One piece of imperial edict and one general's seal, Liu Bang exchanged for Peng Yue to lead his army east out of Hangu, and defeated Xiang Yu's general Xiao Gongjiao in Jiyin, completely blocked the pressure from the Guandong direction, and allowed Liu Bang to concentrate , Concentrate on pacifying Sanqin, which is now Guanzhong.

As for the phrase 'Liu Han's victory over Xiang Chu was the result of the joint efforts of Liu Bang, Peng Yue, and Han Xin', strictly speaking, there is no problem.

After Pengcheng's defeat, if Peng hadn't attacked more frequently and harassed Xiang Yu's rear, then Liu Bang, who was trapped in Xingyang, would never have the strength to go east again even if he defended Xingyang, and the battle in Gaixia will determine the universe.

If it weren't for Peng Yue to stabilize the Xingyang battlefield and buy time for the Qi king Han Xin at that time, Han Xin would not be able to outflank thousands of miles and cut Xiang Yu's back, and eventually Xiang Yu would end up committing suicide in Wujiang.

It can even be said that: Overlord Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang, Peng Yue, and Han Xin through the division of labor.

Moreover, compared with Han Xin, who is proud of his talents and always reveals his disobedience, Peng Yue, a guerrilla master with an extremely "insidious and cunning" strategic style, has never shown any ambitions that he shouldn't have...

"I killed Peng Yue not for no reason, let alone without investigation."

"When Peng Yue was convicted, Tingwei Wang Tianqi searched the letters between Peng Yue, Chen Xi and Han Xin from the Liang Palace."

"In Prince Liang's palace, there are also several disciples, citing the fact that Peng Yue conspired to rebel."

The words that pretended to be calm did not change Luan Bu's expression, and finally made Liu Bang's expression twist, and a little anger suddenly appeared between his brows.

"—Even if he is innocent, Peng Yue is also my subject!"

"The king wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die!!!"

"What's more, in the past few years, princes with different surnames have caused chaos in the Kanto, and the war in the Kanto has lasted for more than ten years!"

"I killed Peng Yue for the sake of the world!!!!!!"

There was a sudden burst of violence, and Liu Bang's face was immediately filled with murderous intent.

"The disadvantages of princes with different surnames, this temple matter!"

"A mere Doctor Liang, how can he know the benefits and harms?!"

Hearing Liu Bang's roar, Luan Bu, who was on his knees and prostrating numbly, finally straightened up with distracted eyes.

"The disadvantages of princes with different surnames, the ministers know themselves."

"However, King Liang, the crime does not warrant death."

"What's more, it is very important for a minister to receive the kindness of the king of Liang; if he receives the kindness of others, he should repay it with virtue."

"The king of Zongliang should die, and the minister should not kill his relatives righteously, in order to betray the way of loyalty and filial piety."

Saying this in an extremely gentle tone, Luan Bu's face only showed a little more determination.

"Your Majesty is nothing more than a reckless man. Your Majesty doesn't need to talk too much with you."

"The king of Liang is about to die, and the minister has no intention of living."

"But please give me the tripod, Your Majesty, the cooking minister is..."

Seeing Luan Bu's reticence, and even a vague attitude of "I'm just helping relatives and not helping, kill or cut as you please", Liu Bang felt even more annoyed in his chest.

He stared at Luan Bu for a while with an uncertain expression, and finally Liu Bang sat down on the soft couch with a gloomy face.

"Hey!"

"hey-hey."

Suddenly there were two chuckles, causing Luan Bu in the hall and Zhao Yao beside the imperial couch to raise their heads involuntarily.

Seeing Liu Bang shook his head with a playful smile, patted his thigh lightly, and let out a long sigh.

"In the past, there was Tian Shuzhong and Zhang Ao, who went to Chang'an to die together; now there is Luan Bu, who repays the old kindness, mourns Peng Yue and collects the corpse..."

"hey-hey······"

Laughing twice with mixed emotions, Liu Bang finally got up from the couch again, and looked at Zhao Yao who was next to him meaningfully.

"Let it go."

"Although this man is from Liang, he has the majestic appearance of Yan Zhao's husband."

After saying that, Liu Bang turned around with a strange smile and walked towards the apse.

After walking out for two steps, Liu Bang froze, as if thinking of something, he turned his head thoughtfully.

Looking at Luan Bu in the hall with a dazed expression, and then at Zhao Yao who was surprised, Liu Bang smiled strangely.

"Luan Bu."

"You are willing to return to Chang'an with me, as the prince's wings?"
