Destiny Only Han

Chapter 238 Lu Ze: Don't Come Over!
The moonlight is deeper and half a person, Beidou langan Nandouxian.

On the head of Xingyang City, Liu Bang dragged his exhausted body and walked slowly down the city.

Since the failure of the peace negotiation, the Chu army's offensive has become more and more fierce, and various ministries have been dispatched in turn, without stopping for a moment from morning to night.

Xiang Yu made it clear that he had seen through Liu Bang's deployment, so he decided to put all his eggs in one basket.

Liu Bang's policy at this time is actually similar to Tian Ji's horse racing.

The top-class horses are naturally the elite of the Han army led by Han Xin. These people are currently going through the land of Yanzhao, and they will go south to attack Qi after they have recharged their energy.

The medium horse is Yingbu who is being trained in Chenggao. He has sent people to Jiujiang to recruit the old troops, and is ready to kill back at any time.

As for the inferior horse, it is naturally the Xingyang Army led by Liu Bang himself.

Just as Sun Bin said, take the horse under the king and the other horse, take the king's horse and the other's horse, and take the king's horse and the other horse.

Now, Liu Bang, who claims to be the next Si, has almost tied with Xiang Yu, the Shang Si, so the Shang Si and Zhong Si of the Han Dynasty must bloody the Zhong Si and Xia Si of the Chu State.

Therefore, the only way for Xiang Yu to break the game is to attack Xingyang fiercely.

As long as Liu Bang can be killed after breaking through the city, the world will be settled!
For this, he spared no expense!

As the night darkened, Liu Bang returned to his room, but instead of falling asleep, he asked someone to fetch a bucket of cold water to wash his feet.

It's not that he likes to be clean and doesn't go to bed without washing his feet, it's mainly because he was born with stinky feet, after covering them in his boots for a day, even he himself can't bear it...

Just when he scratched the calluses on his feet, Wei Wuzhi walked in outside the door, and whispered, "Yuangu is here, is your majesty missing?"

Liu Bang tilted his head and thought for a while, he seemed to have some impressions of Yuan Gu, as if he was an old friend of Shu Suntong, and he was also an annoying Confucian scholar.

So he instinctively wanted Wei Wuzhi to tell the other party that he had already fallen asleep and would come back another day.

But after thinking about it, I just started washing my feet anyway, and there is still some time before going to bed, so I just listened to the other party's nonsense to hypnotize me.

Moreover, when he wants to sleep, let that Confucian scholar help him pour out the footwashing water!

Kill two birds with one stone!
Overjoyed, Liu Bang looked at Wei Wuzhi and nodded: "Let him in."

After a while, Yuan Gu walked in. The moon-white Confucian shirt was spotless, and the Confucian crown on his head was even straighter. Anyone who saw it would have to praise him as a gentleman.

It's just that Liu Bang curled his lips invisibly. In the past, he can be described in four words.

disheveled.

Therefore, sloppy ghosts and clean freaks naturally don't get along.

Yuan Gu took a look at Liu Bang, who was grinning so much that he was scratching his feet, but he was not angry, and sat directly in front of him, talking freely.

"The Han army and the Chu army have fought hard in Xingyang for a long time. Now the soldiers have reached the point where they are exhausted and miserable. If it continues for a long time, the city of Xingyang may not be protected. I don't know what my king is going to do about it?"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, he thought that the other party was here to preach again what Zi Yue Shi Yun and Hu Zhe Ye said, but he didn't expect that what the other party wanted to talk about turned out to be current events.

For a moment, Liu Bang didn't know how to answer.

Well, the main reason is that he really doesn't know what to do!

In his plan, Yingbo was to drag Xiang Yu from the south, and Peng Yue cut off the Chu army's grain road from the north, and then everyone waited together until Han Xin settled Qi, and then marched from east to west, from north to south, and killed Xiang Yu...

So he shook his head, sat up straight, wiped his hands dry, looked at Yuan Gu with piercing eyes, and waited for the other party to express his opinion.

Yuan Gu smiled slightly when he saw this, and said in his heart that Liu Bang, as people say, seems cynical and likes to insult others, but if you really have something to say, he will change his attitude immediately.

"I suggest that your majesty might as well leave Xingyang City to a general who can stand on his own to garrison, and then leave with great fanfare, lead the elite troops out of Wuguan, and station in Wan County."

"There, gather King Lu's army and make a big move to attack Pengcheng from Nanyang County."

"If this is the case, then King Xiang will definitely lead his army southward, and the Xingyang defenders will have a chance to breathe."

Liu Bang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly wanted someone to kick him out.

If he followed Yuan Gu's plan, he would have led the disaster to Lu Ze. I'm afraid that at that time, he would never want to sleep with Lu Zhi again...

Yuan Gu seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is benevolent, but you don't want the people of Wan County to suffer from war?"

Liu Bang sneered in his heart, this shit Confucian scholar always likes to use such high-sounding words to whitewash some bad things.

But he was indeed a little worried.

After all, Wan County is not as good as Xingyang, and there are several natural dangers around it, which can prevent Xiang Yu from deploying all his troops.

Yuan Gu went on to say: "I have heard that those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements."

"Since the division of Xianyang, King Lu ordered people to strengthen the city's defenses and gather food and grass. After that, he gathered tens of thousands of scattered soldiers in the battle of Pengcheng."

"Only in this way can Xiang Yu give up his strategy of attacking Wuguan in the south and enter Guanzhong from there."

"Besides, my king is just pretending to attack Pengcheng, just to mobilize the Chu army to go south."

"As long as the prince and the general in the north can completely pacify the land of Zhao and unite with Yan and Qi, it will be time for the king to return to Xingyang."

"As soon as the king leaves, even if the Chu army goes south, it will inevitably divide some troops to prevent our army from advancing eastward in Xingyang. After he divides the troops, no matter whether it is Xingyang or Wan County, the pressure on city defense will not be as it is now. so big..."

After Yuan Gu finished speaking, Liu Bang was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he laughed loudly: "Yuansheng said that other people are good fighters and have no great achievements. If I look at it, you are the good fighter!"

What Yuan Gu said was justified, he planned to leave Xingyang City with great fanfare at dawn tomorrow, return to Guanzhong for two days of comfortable life, and then leave Wuguan and enter Wan County.

As for the city of Xingyang, Zhou Bo and Zhou Ke could defend it together.

Anyway, as long as he is gone, Xiang Yu usually won't launch a fierce attack.

After all, the king is the first to capture the thief... Bah, the dragon has no head!
…………

Handan.

Standing on his carriage, Liu Ying saw through binoculars a group of warriors with saber-rattling coming towards the east.

These people are not the army, but the security force of a caravan belonging to Shangxiantang.

What they guarded was the salt produced in the Hedong Salt Pond.

The whole winter has passed, and Yanchi has carried out a new layout roughly according to the method he said.

Now that summer is here, under the influence of the mountain, the hot draft blows the salt pond. In almost five or six days, tens of thousands of catties of brine are evaporated and white salt is precipitated.

Yes, refined salt.

In the earliest days, people there used the most primitive fishing method to mine salt.

That is to say, it is exposed to the sun every day, crystallizes naturally, collects labor and fishes, and produces salt all relying on the power of nature.

But in this way, the salt collected will inevitably contain impurities such as magnesium sulfate, so the salt tastes bitter.

And Liu Ying adopted, of course, a one-step method of cultivating fields, watering and sunning.

Both artificially dig a shallow pond on the ground, then introduce brine from the salt lake into the shallow pond, wait for the water to evaporate partly, and then pour fresh water.

In this way, the temperature of fresh water is low and the temperature of brine is high. After the two are reconciled, impurities such as magnesium sulfate will accumulate and form a 'nitrate plate'.

Therefore, what is collected again is refined salt that is no longer bitter.

At the gate of the city, Zhang Er looked at Liu Ying standing on the roof of the carriage, and his heart felt hot.

This is not because of the benefits that can be obtained in exchange for the [-] shi of table salt shipped from afar, but because he covets the telescope held in Liu Ying's hand.

As a man, he also once had the dream of planning a strategy and winning thousands of miles away.

Although the battles he personally commanded all ended in failure...

However, Liu Ying still wants to have the telescope in Liu Ying's hand that can greatly improve the general's ability!
In particular, Han Xin and Cao Shen have them, but he doesn't!
You know, don't worry about scarcity but inequality!

It's just that Liu Ying is his junior after all, and his skin is not as thick as Liu Bang's, so he is naturally embarrassed to ask for it.

Although Liu Ying knew it well, as long as Zhang Er didn't take the initiative to speak, he would definitely not take the initiative.

Although Zhang Er is a big boss, only Liu Ying knows that this person will not live long, so it is useless to lick him.

And he doesn't lead the army, or, whether it is Han Xin or Cao Shen, he will never let him get involved in the army.

This is not just prevention, but more importantly, the incompetence of the first general will exhaust the entire army.

Zhang Er has used his first half of his life to prove that he is an incompetent general...

Moreover, transparent glass without bubbles is not available, and natural crystals of the same quality are even rarer.

The most important thing is that Liu Ying is worried that this technology of making telescopes will be exposed and be passed on to the Huns by Xiang Yu or some guys who eat inside and out.

Therefore, Liu Ying does all the production of each telescope by herself, and never pretends to others.

In this way, when people only know what it is and don't know why it is, even if others want to imitate it, they are completely confused.

Under Zhang Er's endless envy, Liu Ying closed the binoculars with some rudeness, and then let Han Tan, who raised his hands, hug him off the roof of the car.

His carriage was widened and tall, and if he jumped off it rashly, he would easily sprain his feet.

And Lu Zhi said it well, you must take good care of yourself when you go out!
As a mother boy, it is natural to listen to his mother!

Witnessing such a scene, Zhang Er was stunned at first, then a little contemptuous, and finally laughed out loud.

Heh, you don't want to get a telescope from me in your life... Liu Ying patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, took out a folding fan from her waist, opened it with a brush, and shook it gracefully.

At this time, it is May in summer, which is about June and July in the Gregorian calendar. On the one hand, it is hot, but more importantly, it is awesome!

Zhang Er frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Why did you draw a bird and a worm on your fan?"

Liu Ying corrected: "It's sparrows and crickets! Sparrows, food, crickets!"
