Dahan first prince

Chapter 43 Ping Dynasty Zhao, quit Huainan

In this way, Chu State, which ranks third in military strength in the Kanto, was handed over to Liu Bang by Chu Wang Liu chatting and laughing.

The younger brother is so well-behaved, as the elder brother, Liu Bang couldn't keep his face straight anymore, and he also put a little gentleness on his face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Jiao changed the subject for a while.

"His Majesty."

"Your brother just heard His Majesty's words: Qi's army and horses have changed, and they are planning to plot Huainan?"

As soon as Liu Jiao said this, King Jing Liu Jia hurriedly raised his head, and looked at Liu Bang's complexion a little abruptly.

Seeing brothers Liu Bang and Liu Jiao talking to each other without mentioning their own country of Jing at all, Liu Jia at this moment only felt a huge rock weighing on his heart!
Today's Liu Han clan includes the emperor Kunji like Liu Xi and Liu Jiao, the collateral second generations like Liu Xin and Liu Bi, and the direct second generations like Prince Liu Ying, Qi Wang Liu Fei, and Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi.

And Jing Wang Liu Jia is the most special one among Liu Han's clan.

——Among the dozens of relatives and children of the Liu clan, Liu Jia is the only one who has no direct blood relationship with the Supreme Emperor Liu Xie!
Liu Jia's connection with Liu Xie and Liu Bang's lineage can be traced back to the generation of Liu Xie's father, Duke Liang Feng.

To be precise, Liu Jia's grandfather was the elder brother of the late Supreme Emperor Liu Xie; Liu Jia's father was the cousin of the current emperor Liu Bang.

With such a distant blood relationship, Liu Jia was already at the edge of the clan. If it weren't for the many martial arts achievements during the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Jia would never have the possibility of being crowned king of Guandong.

But even though he had already been granted the title, Liu Jia still felt a certain sense of crisis in his heart as King Jing of the Han family.

Leaving aside, let’s talk just now—Liu Bang and Liu Jiao talked for a long time, and the topic covered Dai, Zhao, Yan, Qi, Liang, Chu, and Huainan, but Liu Jia’s Jing State was not mentioned!
This is enough to make Liu Jia feel terrified and terrified!

I don't know if he could see the doubts in Liu Jia's heart, Liu Bang only thought for a while, and then nodded slightly to Liu Jiao who was beside him.

"Of course!"

"The armament of the Qi State is originally intended to plot Huainan!"

"I originally thought that after the autumn of this year, I would return to Fengpei in the name of offering sacrifices to my ancestors, and call Yingbu to meet."

"If he answers the call, he will follow the story of the Marquis of Huaiyin; if he doesn't, he will send troops to attack him!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang's brows hummed a little tiredness.

"Ah~"

"Unexpectedly, before Huainan was ruled, Chen Xi, that thief, would be in chaos, Zhao!"

"That's why I temporarily ignore Huainan, first Ping Dai and Zhao, and then Xu Tu Huainan."

Hearing these words, Liu Jia felt a little more at ease in his uncertain heart.

Different from the inherent impression in the minds of later generations, the eradication of princes with different surnames was actually a consensus among courtiers and clans in the early years of the Han Dynasty.

Because at the beginning of the founding of the country, Liu Bang wantonly entrusted princes with different surnames. In fact, it was not considered "conferment for merit", but more of "using the throne to stabilize the forces of the former anti-Chu alliance".

Since they are stable for the time being, it is natural to break them one by one later.

Furthermore - Kanto is such a big place, if there is one more prince with a different surname, there will be one less piece of land entrusted to the clan princes.

As Liu's clan, relatives including Liu Jia naturally hope that there will be no princes with different surnames in the Kanto.

But different from Liu Jia's short-sightedness of "sweeping the snow in front of the door", Chu Wang Liu Jiao extracted a very crucial message from Liu Bang's words.

"Um······"

Seeing Liu Jiao pondering for a while, he tentatively said: "Your Majesty ordered my younger brother, King Jing, to finish the funeral quickly and return to the country. Could it be to guard against Huainan?"

Hearing this, Liu Bang nodded heavily.

"Although the change of Dai and Zhao was a little abrupt, it has long been concluded that the court wiped out princes with different surnames."

"In today's Kanto, apart from the loyal King Lu Wan of Yan, and the king of Changsha, Wu Chen, who is in the south of Wuling, there are only two princes with different surnames, King Peng Yue of Liang and Wang Yingbu of Huainan!"

Having said that, Liu Bang lowered his voice slightly, and looked at Liu Jiao and Liu Jia with a hint of sternness in his eyes.

"This time, I will lead an army east out of Hangu, and one of them will call Peng Yue to send troops on the way!"

"But if Peng Yue was called, he would be able to destroy more than half of the troops of Liang Guojun under Peng Yue's control during the time of quelling the chaos. Liang Guo should not worry about it."

"The other two are that after Chen Xi's rebellion, I should still return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, so as to get a glimpse of Yingbu's ambition..."

Hearing that Liu Bang didn't hide anything, he told Caotang's general policy towards the princes with different surnames in the Kanto region. Liu Jiao and Liu Jia felt at ease at first.

Looking at each other, Liu Jia followed Liu Jiao and got up from his seat, and came to Liu Bang, bowing solemnly.

"Since this is the case, the minister will return to the country soon, prepare troops and horses, and prepare for Huainan!!!"

Hearing this, Liu Bang nodded slightly first, and then said: "It's time to return to the feudal country."

"It's time to prepare your troops and horses, don't be in a hurry for now."

Seeing that Liu Jiao and Liu Jia showed a little doubt at the same time, Liu Bang could not help but sigh a little.

"Ah~"

"Dai and Zhao rebelled, and many people were involved in the rebellion."

"To the north of the great river, Yan, Zhao, Dai, Qi, Liang, Chu and other countries, as well as Yunzhong, Beidi, Longyou, and Shangxian counties, may all be affected by the war."

"Jinan, safety should be the top priority."

After a little explanation, Liu Bang raised his head slightly and looked at the thoughtful Liu Jiao.

"After returning to the feudal state, the king of Chu should remember: secretly raise troops, secretly store strength, and secretly command Huainan!"

"It is absolutely forbidden to display a large army in the western region, so as not to overwhelm the snake."

After telling all his arrangements, Liu Bangcai finally looked aside at the slightly anxious Liu Jia.

"The king of Jing is good at battle formation, but a little short of planning; after returning to the country, everything can be done according to the will of the king of Chu."

Seeing that Liu Bang was finally willing to speak to him, Liu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed as if he had been pardoned.

"My lord, please obey His Majesty's edict!"

——As a fringe figure among clan vassals, what Liu Jia is most worried about is being ignored by the emperor Liu Bang!

Being able to be commanded by the emperor, regardless of whether the job is good or bad, at least it can prove that Liu Jia is useful and necessary for existence.

After saluting, Liu Jiao and Liu Jia sat back in their seats and remained silent for a while, and finally Liu Jiao spoke again, breaking the tranquility of the hall.

"Brother Ji..."

Hearing that Liu Jiao called himself 'Brother' suddenly, Liu Bang subconsciously frowned, but after a while, his gaze suddenly became warm again.

"Hey!"

"Ajiao doesn't call me Brother Ji, but it's been a while?"

But Liu Jiao nodded with a smile, and when he raised his head again, there was a little pleading on his face.

"In a few days, I will return to Pengcheng."

"The eldest brother died early, and the younger brother has been the king of Guandong for many years, and there are many strangers to the clan's relatives, Kunji, nephews and nephews."

As he said that, Liu Jiao quietly turned the corner of his eyes, and said tentatively: "How about tonight, my brother is hosting a banquet at the palace, and my brother Kunji will gather for a while to talk about the long-lost friendship?"
