Destiny Only Han

Chapter 223
Jiujiang country, six counties.

The city was full of flames, and the sound of fighting and screaming was endless.

It took Yingbu half a year and half of the treasury's revenue to build the city defense fortifications. It took the Chu army less than an hour to demolish them all.

The innovation of siege weapons made the old methods of defending the city almost useless.

Now that the six counties have been destroyed, the infantry of the Chu army entered the city, burned, killed, looted, and searched for all valuables.

But the brigade of cavalry led by Xiang Yu still stayed outside the city and did not join the carnival at this moment.

This was not because their military discipline showed kindness, but because Xiang Yu was a little worried.

Yingbo's wife is the daughter of Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan next door.

He came here today to teach Yingbo a lesson, because he needed to prevent Wu Rui from sending troops to help.

However, as the sky was getting late, the expected reinforcements never arrived.

While Xiang Yu was relieved, he was also somewhat disappointed.

He came here in person this time, in fact, with the idea of ​​capturing two kings in one battle.

If it can be achieved, then the Chu army suffered a setback under Xingyang before, and the lowered prestige will return to the peak overnight, and they will make great strides forward!
However, killing a bird with one stone is not bad.

Just when Xiang Yu was about to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, Xiang Sheng, who was on the battlefield for the first time, rode up in the distance.

Xiang Yu turned his head to look, and saw Xiang Sheng holding a child in his arms, and a struggling woman lying in front of him.

"Big Brother... No, Your Majesty, look who I caught!"

Xiang Sheng threw the child on the ground, turned over and got off the horse, and was about to pull the woman off the horse when he was suddenly freed by the other party, and threw himself on the crying child lying on the ground without hesitation.

Xiang Yu was a little puzzled. After he looked over, he saw that the woman was wearing a jade-coloured blouse and a water-red veil skirt. If it wasn't for the messy bun at the moment, she looked a bit like the princely lady in the painting.

Xiang Sheng said with a little sneer: "This temper is really fierce... Well, this is Yingbo's wife and son! Although Yingbo himself ran away, the family did not escape!"

Xiang Yu's eyes were half closed, and he asked in a deep voice, "That is to say, you didn't catch Yingbu?"

Xiang Sheng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Xiang Yu, and hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Xiang Yu snorted coldly, pulled his horse and left.

His younger brother is really too muddy to support the wall!
Give him a chance, he is useless!

Xiang Sheng took two steps forward and shouted loudly, "My lord, what should they do?"

Xiang Yu said without turning his head from his horseback: "There are no idlers in the army, so let's execute them on the spot..."

Xiang Sheng was stunned, and turned to look at the terrified woman on the ground, feeling a little bit reluctant.

It would be such a pity to kill someone with such a pretty face...

But since Xiang Yu said that he was executed on the spot, that's the only way to go.

He sighed a little, drew out the shiny ring-sword at his waist, and walked forward step by step. The sun slowly set behind him, and death followed.

"Do not……"

Hundreds of miles away from here, several small boats went down the current like arrows leaving the string.

Sitting on the boat were Yingbo who had fled in a hurry, and the Han envoy Suihe who stayed in Jiujiang to supervise Yingbo's rebellion against Xiang Yu.

The speed of the city's destruction was so fast that Yingbo could only break out of the siege alone under the guard of the guards around him.

As for the family, there is no time to take care of it.

After getting rid of the Chu army's pursuit at this moment, Yingbo looked at the red sky in the distance, and two lines of muddy tears followed.

This situation is very similar to Xianyang City in those days.

It's a pity that he changed from the perpetrator to the victim.

Yingbu knew in his heart that his wife and children had fallen into the hands of the brutal and bloodthirsty Xiang Yu, and none of them would be spared.

The torrential river is endless, and this hatred will never be extinguished!
…………

Guanzhong Liyang.

With a small schoolbag on her back, Liu Ying walked under the silent palace wall with a sad face.

At this time, the sky has not yet dawned, but he needs to get up at the sound of the chicken, and go to the side hall of the palace to listen to the old master Shu Suntong, who speaks classical Chinese.

Just, very annoying!

Especially when there was no war on the front line and Liu Bang ran back to Liyang from Xingyang, Liu Ying paid 12 points of attention.

Without him, as a mother's boy, even if he recites the classical Chinese taught by the old master wrongly on weekdays, Lu Zhi always raises it high and lowers it twice.

Well, the shouts like killing pigs on weekdays are usually made by little loli Liu Le.

Since Liu Bang had no choice but to marry Lu Zhi and Zhang Liang, she abandoned the happy education in the past and became strict with Little Lolita again.

After all, not being pretty is already a shortcoming, if you look like a wild monkey again, you will be ashamed...

In fact, I am afraid of comparison in everything, mainly because Zhang Buyi, the longer he grows, the more he looks like Zhang Liang, like a woman and a good girl...

But after Liu Bang came back, everything became very different.

As the de facto patriarch, he naturally took over the power of discipline from Lu Zhi.

And because he had four or five more concubines at once, he was looked down upon by Lu Zhi.

He didn't dare, maybe because he didn't want to vent his anger on Lu Zhi, the unlucky one was naturally Liu Ying.

The so-called mother's debt repayment, or the cat-kicking effect, is probably like this.

…………

"Chen Kang asked Yu Boyu, "Have you heard anything different about me?" He said to him: "Not yet. After trying to be independent, the carp tended to pass the court. He said: 'Learning poetry?" Poetry, speechless.' Carp retired to study poetry..."

In the classroom, Shu Suntong stroked his beard, foaming from the mouth.

In front of him, Liu Ruyi was sitting on the ground playing with her fingers, with a confused face, Liu Fei and Liu Le were drowsy, and only Liu Ying was trying to remember what the old master had said for a long time.

There is no way, Liu Bang, who was angry with Lu Zhi in the morning, is recuperating in the corner at this moment, just waiting for random checks after class, so that he can justifiably vent his evil fire...

If you get angry with me, I will beat your son!

Uncle Sun Tong, who was sitting cross-legged, was very happy today. After he became the prince and tutor of the Han Kingdom, many old friends from the past came to him and asked him to help him introduce him, so that he could become an official in the Han Kingdom.

However, although the old master is a Confucian scholar, he is not pedantic at all.

Conquer the world immediately, rule the world immediately.

Now is the critical moment of the battle between Chu and Han, so he did not introduce those weak scholars to Liu Bang, but introduced many bandits and robbers he made friends with when he was living in the grass.

For this reason, he was often scolded by relatives and old friends.

So what makes him happy today is that Liu Ying has completely moved the book revision club in Hanzhong, that is, the work of re-transcribing the rescued classics and historical books, to Guanzhong.

Moreover, after the expansion of the scale, those guys recommended by Shusuntong who are full of poetry and cloud will be included in it.

Today, the old man's prestige among Confucian scholars is no less than that of Confucius' direct descendant, Kong Yu, who is the leader of the contemporary Confucian government.

Well, Confucianism has actually been laid out in the Han Dynasty for a long time.

Liu Bang used to have a guard by his side, named Kong Ju, who was Kong Yu's younger brother.

Shu Suntong ignored Liu Fei and Liu Le, who were drowsy, and just looked at Liu Ying with bright eyes in relief.

On weekdays, each of these three guys sleeps faster than the other. Now, the crown prince has finally grown up and knows the meaning of words written by the sages!
Ruzi can be taught, and Ruzi can be taught!

So Shusun changed his language and decided to use another method to let Liu Ying understand the point of what he said before.

If you don't study poetry, you can't speak.

He looked at Liu Bang who was carrying a bamboo stick, and asked Liu Ying with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the poem Zhao Nanye Youdeer?"

I won't be sleepy if you say this... Liu Ying's eyes lit up and she nodded.

This poem, but it is often 404 existence in later generations!
Amidst Liu Bang's astonishment, Shusun Tong said without haste: "In the first year of Zhaogong, during a banquet between Zheng Guo and Jin State, Hanhu, the ruling minister of Zheng State, gave a speech to Zhao, the representative of Jin State who was sent as an envoy. Wu Yin recited this poem."

"Although this poem describes the process of young men and women from getting acquainted to falling in love, it has a profound meaning in this formal occasion of diplomatic relations between the two countries."

After he finished speaking, not only Liu Ying moved forward twice, but even Liu Bang in the corner became interested.

Although Zhuangzi once said, my life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit.If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is almost over!

But after finding the right way, learning is actually a happy thing.

Obviously, Shusun Tong aroused Liu Ying's curiosity through the method of "Shu Er Tu Tuo Xi".

Well, in the pre-Qin period, the folk customs were open, especially the little boys from noble families, basically they had to learn about personnel when they were teenagers.

In this way, after being well-informed, you will not be too obsessed with women when you grow up.

"In the past, Jin Wengong defeated the Chu army in the battle of Chengpu, and then King Zhuang of Chu defeated the Jin army in the battle of Bi. Up to this banquet, the battle between Jin and Chu has lasted for a hundred years."

"And Zheng Guo happened to be located in the buffer zone between Jin and Chu."

As Shusuntong said, he remembered something, with a slight smile on his lips.

"People say that it was towards Qin and Mu Chu, but in fact, during that time, Zheng Guo was in the dynasty of Jin and Mu Chu. The two powerful countries in the north and the south couldn't afford to offend them, so whoever came to attack them would serve them as servants..."

Liu Ying nodded lightly. At that time, Zheng Guo and later South Korea were all trying to survive in the cracks, and there was really no way to do it.

In Liu Ying's contemplation, Shu Suntong broke out again: "The countries are intertwined, and the alliance has actually happened quietly."

"Combined vertically and horizontally?"

Liu Ying frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Shusun Tong said with a smile: "When Jin and Chu were fighting for hegemony, whenever Jin lost, they would spend a lot of money to lure Wu, which is south of Chu, to launch an offensive against Chu."

"Chu's way to deal with it is to contact the Yue State in the south to attack the Wu State, and the second is to make friends with the Qin State to the west of the Jin State and let the Qin people go east."

"And once the Qin people go east, Zheng Guo will be the first to bear the brunt..."

Liu Ying suddenly chuckled and recited an article she had read and recited in a low voice.

Zhu Zhiwu retreated from the Qin division.

"The Marquis of Jin and the Boss of Qin besieged Zheng, because he was more rude than Jin and inferior to Chu..."

Uncle Suntong stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad, a child can be taught..."
