Dahan first prince

Chapter 234 I!Pardon the death penalty! ! !

"Whoo~"

"It's autumn..."

In the autumn and August of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, on the south bank of the Huai River.

Watching the Huainan soldiers under his command come to the river bank and lay a pontoon bridge on the not-too-turbulent river, Ying Bu only tightened his skirt a little, and then turned sideways with a suspicious face.

"Hong County, there has been no change so far?"

Hearing this question, the guards beside Ying Bu hurried forward two steps and cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

"My lord: never."

"It has been two days since the king's army arrived in Huaishui, but the spies reported: Qi Xiang Pingyang Marquis Cao Can, with tens of thousands of Qi soldiers, stationed in Hong County, and even more strictly ordered the brothers and feet of Hong County not to go out of the city to meet the enemy."

"In the past ten days, Cao Shen's troops also worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. They were surrounded by strong walls and clear fields for [-] miles around Hong County, and they seemed to want to defend to the death..."

At the end, the guard's face was full of excitement.

"Your Majesty!"

"That is to say, Cao Shen has no intention of fighting and is waiting to cross the Huai River. Why doesn't your majesty take a detour to enter Chu?"

"The last general has heard that the King of Han's family is now in Qixi..."

"really?!!"

Before the personal guard finished speaking, he saw Yingbu suddenly turned sideways, looking at the distant clan brother beside him with extremely astonished eyes.

"The prince's army is really in Qixi?!!!!!!"

After the personal guard nodded heavily with joy, Yingbu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then finally smiled contemptuously, stepped forward, and stepped on a raised mound.

"Hey······"

"hey-hey!!"

"There is no one in the Han family..."

"There is no one in the Han family!!!"

With the tone of gradually becoming angry, Yingbo's face could not help but hang a touch of sincere joy.

"Brother Zhong, do you still remember: what did you say when the widow started an incident in Lu'an?"

Hearing Yingbo ask such a question in an inexplicably confident tone, the guard only smiled lightly and stepped forward, bowing slightly to Yingbo.

"The great king said: Han generals can fight the great king, only Han Xin, Peng Yue, and the king of Han!"

"Besides, Han Xin and Peng Yue are both dead, and the King of Han is even older, so he will not be able to come in person. Therefore, in this battle, the king will surely win!"

Listening to the elder brother repeating the words he had said with full admiration, Yingbo's face was filled with joy as if he had already won.

At the end of June, when Yingbo made up his mind in Lu'an, the capital of the kingdom, and decided to raise his own troops, in order to motivate his soldiers, he did say this sentence.

In his heart, Yingbu really believed that in the past few decades, the only few people who could "equally share" with him were Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin, Liang Wang Peng Yue, and the current Liu Bang.

It's just that, when he first said the phrase 'King Han is old, he must not come in person', Yingbo's psychology was actually not very solid.

——The old age of the Son of Heaven is no secret!

As early as ten years ago, when the world was still divided by the Eighteen Routes princes entrusted by Xiang Yu, and was divided into two camps of "Chu-Han", similar topics had already appeared in Yingbo's ears.

Yingbu has heard such words as "the king of Han is old, nothing can accomplish great things" and "the king of Han is old, he will die soon". Yingbu has heard it no less than a hundred times.

The results of it?
——The phrase "the king of Han is old and decayed, he will die soon" has been shouted from the period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony more than ten years ago to the present!

This year, the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, the seventh year of Liu Bang's succession to the throne, Liu Bang, who has always been evaluated as an "old man", still sits on the throne of the Son of Heaven with all his beard and tail.

Not only that, in the past ten years, Liu Bang has been dragging his age of over half a century, maintaining a high-intensity crusade of "every year on average, a family of princes with different surnames will be destroyed"!
On the other hand, in the past, those heroes who claimed to be "heroes of the prime of life" and thought that they were "far from being comparable to Han Wang's old age" were basically old and dead.

From Overlord Xiang Yu to Chu King Han Xin; From Yan King Zang Tu to Liang King Peng Yue...

To this day, almost all the "heroes of the prime of life" in the Chu and Han Dynasties have turned into dead bones in the tomb.

And the "old man", the emperor Liu Bang, who was secretly thought by these people to "definitely live soon", is still alive today.

Therefore, more than a month ago, when Yingbo yelled the phrase "Liu Bang is old and cannot lead the army to fight" in front of Huainan soldiers, Yingbo himself was still muttering in his heart.

——The words have already been shouted out.

The Huainan soldiers already had an inherent impression of their own king as "I'm afraid of Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Liu Bang".

What if Liu Bang really came in the end, what should I do?
This question has appeared in Yingbo's mind more than once.

In the end, Liu Bang didn't come.

Not only did he not come, he even sent the current crown prince as if he was giving him a gift bag.

——A little doll who is only fifteen years old, has nothing to do, and has not yet become an adult!
Now, that Xiaowa even stationed her own tent of the Chinese army in Qi County, which is only two hundred miles away from Chu-Jing, and only a hundred miles away from Hong County!

And it's not in the city, but in the western suburbs of Qi County!

Thinking of this, Yingbo's brows already had a hint of longing quietly.

The Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which was compiled and carved by Heshibi, seems to have appeared in Yingbo's field of vision, as long as he stretches out his hand, it can fall into Yingbo's hands;
The old emperor Liu Bang's old body also seemed to have knelt in front of Yingbo, kneeling and kowtowing with a miserable face, praying for Yingbo to "continue life and death" and leave a common line among Liu's clan. It is good to pass on the incense of the old Liu family;

even!Even Prince Liu Ying, who is two hundred miles away from here!They have all appeared in front of Yingbo!

"The king of Huainan is wise and powerful, and he should establish the country and rule the world; the boy is only a man, so he dare not do anything to the king of Huainan..."

After leaving such a sentence, a young figure with a vague expression pulled out his sword in front of Ying Bu, and gently put it on his neck...

"Ha ha······"

"what·······"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!"

"I! Pardon me to death!!!"

There was a loud shout without warning, which caused the Huainan soldiers who were busy building the pontoon bridge on the river bank to stop their movements one after another, and immediately cast their blank eyes on the mound not far behind.

It was also at that moment that the guards beside Yingbo reacted extremely quickly, came to Yingbo and knelt down on the ground, opened his voice, and shouted a sentence that made everyone dumbfounded.

"minister!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"

The familiar tone of the guard came to his ears, and finally made Yingbu regain his mind from his reverie.

Seeing his clan brother kneeling in front of him, and the Huainan soldiers standing there under the mound, not knowing what happened, Ying Bu pondered for a moment, and finally stopped his back.

"Send my edict!"

"At dusk today, the army will cross the Huai River! At noon tomorrow, we must arrive in Hong County!!!"

By this time, all the soldiers in Huainan were bewildered, and finally gradually turned into a touch of panic and a little bit of uneasiness.

In the end, all these disturbing emotions turned into a loud roar.

"Follow Your Majesty's edict!!!!!!"

Hearing this deafening and comfortable roar as if soaked in warmth, Yingbo greedily enjoyed it for a moment before turning around with a smile.

Nodding meaningfully to the clan brother beside him, Ying Bu started to walk towards the military tent in the distance.

"Letter to Liu'an: forcefully expropriate people's food, and quickly lose the army for use!"

An extremely firm order made the face of the guard on the side tense, and he immediately stepped forward with hesitation.

"Kings."

"Liu'an is the king's capital; if the people's food is collected in Liu'an, it will be later..."

"Afraid that the name of the king will be unfavorable?"

But when Yingbo heard the words, he turned around with a smile on his face, and patted the guard on the shoulder with ease.

"Extraordinary times, extraordinary things!"

"Waiting to cross the Huai River, I want to leave a branch of the old and weak in Hong County, and pretend to attack; I will personally lead the capable soldiers and go straight to Qixi!"

Speaking of this, a strange light appeared in Yingbo's eyes.

"This battle is a decisive battle for the widow to destroy the Han!"

"But with this victory, there will be no one left, which can prevent the few from destroying the Han and replacing them!"

"Such a big battle is imminent. If the food and grass are not enough, how can I reward the army? How can we talk about breaking the Han Valley?"

Hearing Yingbu's words, even though his heart was full of doubts, the guard could only nod helplessly.

"Since this is the case, I will send another person back to find some beef and mutton for the king to reward the army."

Seeing the clan brother's reaction like this, Ying Bu smiled in satisfaction, and patted the guard on the shoulder again.

At the moment when he turned around and turned his back on his clan brother, a sentence that surprised Yingbo himself jumped out of Yingbo's mouth unexpectedly.

"Um······"

"From now on, don't call him 'The King' any more."

After leaving such a sentence, Yingbo walked towards the distant military tent with a strange smile.

Behind Yingbo, looking at Yingbo's back, the guards only frowned quietly, and looked back at the Huainan soldiers who were building the pontoon bridge in full swing.

In the end, the guard frowned tightly, quietly carrying a touch of deep worry.

"Chu land has not yet been obtained, and he has proclaimed himself emperor..."

"Ah~"

"I hope that this matter will not bring disaster to the king..."
