Destiny Only Han

Chapter 227 I Come to Think Today, It's Raining and Snowing
Winter and December of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong, south of the Wei River.

The heavy snow that has been drifting since yesterday evening has not stopped until now, on the contrary, it is getting bigger and bigger.

Liu Ying was wrapped in a black bearskin cloak, shivering shivering as she shivered under the reed shed.

He came here today to pick up someone on behalf of Liu Bang.

British cloth.

After the opponent was defeated in the six counties, he hid day and night all the way to avoid the pursuit of the Chu army, and finally arrived in Nanyang County, where he obtained Lu Ze's protection.

After that, under the arrangement of Lu Ze, he went straight from Wuguan to Guanzhong to meet Liu Bang.

The purpose of letting Liu Ying come instead of Liu Bang himself is that Liu Bang wants to put on airs to kill Yingbo's spirit.

At this moment, Liu Ying, who was roasting under the fire under the reed shed, raised the corners of her mouth upwards.

If his memory is correct, Liu Bang should be boiling water for washing his feet now, and when Yingbo came, he happened to meet him while washing his feet...

Well, it just so happens!

This is Liu Bang's usual trick. First, he makes the other party feel slighted and emotionally turbulent through the indecent gesture of spreading his legs and washing his feet.

Afterwards, Liu Bang took advantage of the opportunity to apologize again, and severely brushed up a wave of favorability.

So when Yingbo and his party arrived in the distance and saw Liu Ying instead of Liu Bang, the expression on Yingbo's face was obviously much darker.

After all, he can be said to be a lost dog now.

He only hated that his time of action was still much slower. If he had sent troops to attack Pengcheng in Chu State during the battle between Chu and Han in Xingyang, maybe it would not be the current situation.

Now, even though he felt slighted, Yingbo still held back his temper, waiting for Liu Ying to salute as a junior, and then return the salute as a guest to the host.

It's just that he was a little curious in his heart. He didn't know why Liu Ying, who was opposite him, looked at the long sword at his waist frequently.

By Yingbo's side, Sui He, who had returned from his envoy, stayed aside.

This is not because he is arrogant, but mainly because he is an envoy sent by Liu Bang. Before returning the scepter to Liu Bang, it is not suitable for him to contact anyone who has nothing to do with the mission.

…………

Lishan Mountain is probably the place where Huaqing Pool is located in later generations. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the hot spring here has been the place where the emperor bathed.

After the Qin State occupied Guanzhong, it was naturally the palace of King Qin.

And now, it has become Liu Bang's palace again.

At this moment, Liu Bang was wearing a single suit, leaning on the couch with his feet spread apart, and in front of him were two robust servants squatting in the hot spring, vigorously rubbing his stinky feet.

In front of Liu Bang, Yingbo's expression changed, he wanted to get angry but didn't dare.

Because of the problem of the style of clothes, according to Yingbu's usual understanding, if the light in the room is not dim, he should be able to clearly...

Deceiving too much!

Yingbo regrets it very much now. He knew that he had taken refuge in Xiang Yu. Although Jiujiang is also in danger, at least Xiang Yu is a straightforward person. Seeing who is upset, he just threw it into the hot pot...

Instead of now, he and Liu Bang are sitting here, soaking in hot springs, fighting in a foggy manner.

Not much speculation.

Yingbo and Liu Bang said a few words, then left.

It's just that when he left, looking at the heavy snow floating in the sky, he felt extremely sad.

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. It should be his current state.

"Look, draw the sword, hey!"

In a hot spring bath in the distance, Liu Ying watched Ying Bu's every move in the distance through the window, and turned around to yell at Zhang Buyi who came to the hot spring with him.

"what?"

Zhang Buyi became interested in an instant, and ran over quickly, and became a melon-eating crowd with Liu Ying.

It's just that he lost interest immediately.

He originally thought that what Liu Ying said about Yingbu drawing his sword should be a fight with Liu Bang.

After all, he cares about his heart, if he is treated like this, he will definitely not bear it.

"Bet on a recommendation, bah, it's a hundred dollars, he won't commit suicide!"

Liu Ying shook her head, only feeling a little baffled by herself just now.

Zhang Buyi on the side nodded heavily, expressing that he made the bet.

A hero like Yingbo at the time should be willing to bend rather than bend. It is normal for someone to be so humiliated and draw his sword to kill himself.

In fact, what Zhang Buyi wanted to bet on was that Yingbo would turn around and rush into the Wentang Palace to compete with Liu Bang in swordsmanship.

The humiliation of words should be paid for with blood.

This is the way of a knight wielding a sword!

But in the next second, his whole body drooped, looked at the arrogant Liu Ying, and said weakly: "Okay, you won, owe it first, and pay it back later."

Without him, Ying Bu put his sword into its sheath outside the hall, followed behind a sacrificial servant, and walked towards the main hall specially prepared for him in the hot spring palace.

And the meaning of paying back later is to decide next time.

Debt must be paid?
Bah, bad habits!

Liu Ying was too lazy to argue with him about the one hundred dollars, she just tore off her clothes and jumped into the bathtub with a plop.

Spring cold showers in Huaqing Pool, hot spring water slides and gels.

Concubine Yang Gui in the later generations should be here to clean up her innocence, and then the servant helped her delicate and weak, and it was the time of Xincheng Enze.

But this is not the point, but Liu Ying understands that Yingbo has been completely subdued by Liu Bang.

Today, among the dozen or so princes and kings that Xiang Yu entrusted to Xianyang that day, only Gong Ao, who is stubborn, and Wu Rui, who is suspected of being a traverser, are left on the fence.

The rest have either joined Liu Bang's camp or been wiped out by Liu Bang.

Well, people like Wei Bao and Han Cheng are already kings, so they are no longer among them.

So at this moment, although the general situation in the world seems to be that Chu State is attacking and Han State is defending, the actual situation is that Han State is making great strides in successive defeats, while Chu State is gradually slipping into the abyss of extinction in successive victories.

The unification of the world is just around the corner.

What we have to do now is to wait quietly, and wait for those farmers who put down their hoes to gradually grow into qualified fighters in the test of iron and blood.

Then, whoever commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away!

In Liu Ying's heart, there was actually some urgency.

The nascent state of Han has two enemies, one is the Chu people in the south, and the other, of course, is the Huns in the northern grasslands.

In particular, taking advantage of the turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Mao Dun led the Huns who had recuperated for more than ten years to go south again, and recaptured the entire Hetao grassland and the large area of ​​fertile land at the foot of Helan Mountain, which was called the Yinchuan Plain by later generations.

At this time, the Huns not only had nomads, but also a large number of people from the Central Plains who robbed them, as well as people from the Central Plains who had turned to the Huns because of the war.

If you let it go, the Huns will conquer east and west, completely destroy Donghu, Yuezhi, and small countries such as Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, and Xinli. After mastering a full set of smelting technology, they will really make peace As in history, it is called a giant across the northern grasslands!
And at that time, even Liu Ying could only do nothing but follow the original historical line, recuperate and wait for the right time.

After all, the temperature at this time was much higher than when the Meng Yuan rose in later generations.

Therefore, the vast grassland can support more herdsmen.

The Mongolian Yuan, which unified the Mongolian Plateau in later generations, had about 130 thousand households at its peak, and the number of cavalry available for recruitment was between a dozen and 20.

Relying on these battle-tested cavalry, coupled with the most advanced smelting and siege technology, the Mongols became the nightmare of Eurasian countries in that era.

At this moment, the Huns with similar production levels have 30 people who control strings, which is actually credible.

Well, although the Huns used leather pots to cook meat at this time, not every Mongol at that time had an iron pot!

Even though there is a saying that one Han should be five Hu, but it was a decisive battle on the frontal battlefield.

The crux of the problem is that most of the 30 string-controlling Huns had eight or twelve legs, and even some local tyrants had more than twenty legs.

Infantry and cavalry fought in open fields, the latter having the mobility to choose when and where to fight.

Therefore, without the blessing of the merciful Gatling Bodhisattva, if you want to defeat the nomadic cavalry, you can only compete with their cavalry against cavalry.

In today's Han Dynasty, there are only a handful of generals with combat experience of commanding more than [-] cavalry.

Not to mention, commanding [-] cavalry to fight the enemy in a decisive battle in the vast wilderness.

Such a big battle, even if Han Xin is allowed to come, it is still uncertain.

Otherwise, Liu Bang has no reason not to swing his troops northward to completely solve the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

Therefore, in the Battle of Baideng, the Han and Hungarian sides faced each other for the first time. After they were shocked by each other's strength, they retreated tacitly and signed a peace treaty.

A man as talented as Mao Dun probably won't lose to Temujin, and he will never give up such a godsend opportunity of destroying Liu Bang and annexing the entire Han Kingdom just because of his wife or a few beauties!

And what Liu Ying has to do is to hurry up as much as possible, and grab a bite of meat from the Huns before the Huns have completely defeated the Yuezhi people and completely controlled the Hexi Corridor.

Well, to be precise, it is to put aside disputes and jointly develop.

Among Liu Ying's current crown prince guards, there are many Huns who could not get along on the grassland because of the tribal hegemony, and fled to the south to make a living.

In fact, these simple herdsmen are not inferior to the Rongdi recruited by Liu Ying in Longxi and the Guanzhong people who were transformed by Rongdi in terms of loyalty.

After all, no one is willing to give up on a wealthy father who spends a lot of money.

In a feudal society where nationalism had not yet been born, no matter if you were a native of the Central Plains or a native of the grasslands, in fact, the one who had the milk was the mother...

I'll fuck you if I'm full, otherwise I'll fuck your mother...

Dameng of later generations, the reason why many of the Ming army who took refuge in Houjin, broke out stronger than in the old club, is because the new boss is generous.

Not only is food and housing included without deducting wages, but a wife is also assigned!
Soaking naked in the hot spring, Liu Ying whistled to the shy Zhang Buyi.

"I'm leaving, are you with me?"
