Destiny Only Han

Chapter 17 Gaoyang Alcoholics
Dang County, south of Luoshui, north of Yongqiu County.

When the wind stops and the snow stops, a round of red sun rises slowly, and the sun shines on the earth, covered in silver, adding a layer of warmth to the cold beauty.

The red sun shines on the water through the ice and snow among the branches and leaves, reflecting rainbows, which makes people dream suddenly.

On the edge of Luoshui, scattered military tents, on a piece of tattered flag, there is a big Chu character.

Liu Bang walked out of his tent, walked straight to the water's edge, untied his belt, and began to relieve the bladder that had swollen all night.

Downstream from him, Lu Wan, who was washing her face, froze suddenly, stared at Liu Bang for a full two seconds, and rushed over with a strange cry.

"Don't make trouble, I really didn't see..." Liu Bang blocked from left to right, with a smirk on his face.

After Lu Wan punched him twice, she looked at Yongqiu County in the distance, shook her head and said, "It's been two days, but I still haven't beaten him, why don't I just forget it..."

Most of them are warriors who have become monks halfway. With a little bit of recklessness, they can do their best with others. As for conquering a county with a city wall and a tenacious defender, it is beyond their capabilities.

Usually, when attacking a city, you would temporarily build some ladders, and then let Fan Kui lead a group of desperadoes with a sword and a shield. If you can attack the top of the city, then they will rush forward. Or just give up...

So facing Yongqiu County where Qin soldiers were stationed, they surrounded it for two days and lost hundreds of people but failed to take it down. Lu Wan began to retreat.

Liu Bang thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he didn't want to just give up.

The first to enter Guanzhong is the king.

This is King Huai of Chu's promise to him, and it is also his hope that he will travel thousands of miles in spite of his old age.

So after capturing Changyi that day, he learned of Xiang Yu's victory in the north, so he led his people westward overnight.

Only by entering Guanzhong before Xiang Yu can he become the King of Qin.

The man should be so!

This is the oath he made in his heart when he witnessed the majesty of the First Emperor that day!

Yongqiu County, this is an important road blocking the only way to attack Daliang.

Conquer Daliang, then march westward, subdue Sanchuan County, and then go straight in to become the King of Qin!
This is Liu Bang's plan after hard thinking and meditation along the way.

This road is also the only road Liu Bang is familiar with.

When he brought corvees to Guanzhong to build the tomb for the first emperor, he took this road, which is unforgettable, so he can't go wrong!

Liu Bang sighed, and said to Lu Wan: "Let Xiao He take people to build more ladders, pay attention to the height, don't build the city wall at that time, and find that it is shorter!"

Lu Wan nodded heavily. Since Liu Bang insisted on this, he would accompany him to the end.

Since they were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, they will die in the same year, the same month, and the same day!
After Lu Wan left, Cao Shen led people to come from a distance, looked at Liu Bang, saluted, and said: "The army is running out of salaries. Since the siege of the city is going to continue, we must send people to recruit some from Qianshou's home."

"Requisition?" Liu Bang frowned suspiciously, then smiled and said, "Stop recruiting, we have plenty of food, so don't take other people's things for nothing."

Cao Shen nodded, and was about to leave when Liu Bang babbled a little, as if he wanted to say something.

So he stood where he was, staring at Liu Bang.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Liu Bang couldn't help but said: "I heard that Gaoyang near here is rich in fine wine, help me get a few jars... I promise, I won't drink too much!"

They marched westward all the way, leaving behind all the good wine, beautiful girls and so on.

Well, except Qi Ji who is already pregnant.

After all, if you leave her behind, you will lose two lives.

Cao Shen smiled and said: "A few jars are not enough, I will help you get a cart!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Shen bowed his hands and turned away.

In fact, he was already hungry for alcohol.

After all, starting from Pei County, they all have today and no tomorrow. It is impossible to stop drinking and eating meat.

…………

Gao Yang.

Because Yongqiu County, dozens of miles away, was besieged by the Chu army, there was no one in the market here.

No matter the wealthy family or the head of Guizhou, they either distributed weapons to their family members in an attempt to protect themselves, or hid them in the cellar of their homes to prevent their lives from being endangered when the rebellious army raided their property.

Inside the wooden gate, an old Confucian scholar in his sixties with half-bald hair was making wine.

"One last... no, two..."

He also wanted to hide, but he is a prison gate, similar to the porter of later generations, so this is his responsibility, well, the main reason is that he has no money to drink after losing his job!
At this time, there was a clatter of horseshoes outside Lifang.

Then there was a knock on the door.

The old Confucian scholar looked through the crack of the door and saw a tall, thin man with several scars on his face, holding a yellow horse in his hand.

"Is Ji Huai outside the door?" He asked with some uncertainty.

He still vaguely remembered the appearance of this person, he was the youngest son of a businessman in Lizhong, after the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising that day, this kid who was idle all day ran over.

I just heard that he had died outside, but I didn't expect to be alive again today!
"It's me!" Ji Huai took a step back and asked the old Confucian scholar who was guarding the gate to take a closer look at himself.

After confirming that it was correct, the old Confucian scholar opened the inner door and put Ji Huai in, and suddenly saw that his horse was still strapped with armor and a weapon, so he asked, "Who is this?"

Ji Huai said with a smile: "I am now in the Marquis of Wu'an army, a knight of Wu'an!"

"Warrior knight?"

The old Confucian scholar couldn't believe it. According to his understanding, martial arts knights are the elite of the army. They are required to be 'under forty years old, over seven feet five inches long, strong, fast, and superb. Those who circle back and forth, cross ditches, climb hills, take risks, overcome great swamps, ride powerful enemies, and disrupt the masses are called warriors of martial arts. '

As an old Confucian who grew up watching Ji Huai bare buttocks, he knew that Ji Huai did not meet the standards of a martial knight except for his height and age!
Seeing the questioning eyes of the old Confucian scholar, Ji Huai suddenly felt a little dissatisfied: "Old man, don't look down on me! Look at my armor, I snatched it from a Qin army commander!"

The old Confucian scholar looked him up and down again, and felt that Ji Huai was indeed completely different from when he first left home. The previous flamboyant and flamboyant spirit disappeared, replaced by a fierce and brave spirit.

He nodded, and was about to praise the other party, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Whose army do you think you are in?"

Ji Huai said proudly: "Marquis Wu'an!"

The old Confucian scholar said like a cannonball: "But the Marquis of Wu'an, who is known as Pei Gong, is Liu Bang from Pei County who killed the White Snake Uprising?"

Ji Huai nodded and became more and more proud.

The old Confucian scholar put on a flattering tone and said: "I heard that Marquis Wu An is a man with great ambitions. When you return to the army, tell him that there is an old Confucian scholar in Gaoyang named Li Shiqi who is sixty years old. , eight feet tall, everyone calls him a crazy student, but he himself doesn't admit it, he thinks he has a genius in his chest..."
