Destiny Only Han

Chapter 250

Liyang in Guanzhong, Han Palace.

The lights are bright and the voices are buzzing.

In the hall, whole roasted suckling pigs, large roasted whole lambs, sliced ​​roasted ducks, stewed fat chicken, and seasonal fruits and vegetables are placed on a table.

Here, a night banquet is being held.

The seats of Liu Ying and Lu Zhi are side by side and slightly lower, while the main seat is vacant.

There is Liu Bang's seat, but he needs to defend Xiang Yu in Xingyang now, so he didn't attend this banquet.

But even if it is empty, his seat must exist.

Today's dinner is to celebrate a great victory ahead.

After Lu Wan and Liu Jia led the troops across the river, together with Peng Yue and his soldiers, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's second command to Xingyang, they captured Waihuang, Suiyang and other seventeen counties one after another, and plundered all the granaries of Chu State there.

With more battles, Xiang Yu was at a loss for doppelgängers. Anyone who wasn't a fool would have seen that the state of Chu couldn't last long.

As a result, many forces in the world who were watching, threw their olive branches to Han, a country founded by a group of grassroots.

In this regard, whether it is Lu Zhi, Xiao He, or Liu Ying, they all accept it according to the order!

A great man whose greatest wish is to be a teacher said well, the so-called politics is to make our people more numerous and the enemy's people less.

As for the future, we will talk about it in the future.

Therefore, when Lu Zhi entered the arena as the last host, the banquet officially began.

Amid the sound of bells and drums, two rows of dancers in Lu suits walked in, dancing and singing.

"Sile Panshui, thinly pick its celery. Lu Hou Lizhi, said to observe his flag. His flag is flying, and the sound of Luan is screaming. No matter whether it is small or big, it is from the public to the step..."

"Sile Panshui, thinly harvested algae. Marquis of Lu stopped, his horses swayed. His horses swayed, and his sound was clear. With color and laughter, the bandits were angry with the Iraqi religion..."

This is a song "Ode to Lu Panshui", which is used to praise Luhou's victory over Huaiyi.

Today, it is naturally used to praise Han's victory over Chu.

Under Shu Suntong's unblinking gaze, Liu Ying maintained a smile without showing her teeth, and together with Lu Zhi frequently gestured to everyone.

It's just different from Liu Ying's joy, Lu Zhi's smile is full of deep sadness.

After the banquet, Liu Ying was about to go north and left her side.

The son said on the river, the dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night.

Lu Zhi was a little amazed in her heart. Before, she had never noticed that time passed so quickly!

Now, Lu Zhi's eyes are firmly locked on Liu Ying, and he is not willing to leave even for a moment, for fear that if he is negligent, the other party will disappear!

What made her feel even more sad was that it was already late September, and in a few days, it would be the first day of October.

The Han inherited the Qin system, with October as the beginning of the year.

The first day of October is the first day of the new year.

On this day of family reunion, she has to be separated from her son.

How can this make her happy?
Well, far away in Xingyang, Liu Bang, who was also unable to reunite with her, was directly ignored by her...

Liu Ying held up the white water pretending to be spirits in the glass, and raised his glass to toast the guests frequently, but a hint of predation flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Gong Ao, king of Linjiang, passed away not long ago. Han sent envoys to offer condolences, but they were turned away from the country.

Before holding this night banquet, Liu Ying sent people flying horses to send the letter of credence, and invited Linjiang Wang Gongwei himself or sent an envoy to the banquet, but it was like a mud cow.

Not only that, but unlike Gong Ao, who was both right and left, and neither Chu nor Han could offend, Gongwei somehow flirted with Xiang Yu at the beginning of his ascendancy.

Just two days ago, he suddenly broke the trade agreement with Liu Ying, confiscated the caravan's goods and expelled them from the country!

What's more, Liu Ying's spies buried there reported that Gongwei was mobilizing troops and stepping up drills.

Judging from their movement of transporting grain and grass, the army of Linjiang State intends to go northward and attack Lu State, which is Nanyang County controlled by Lu Ze.

Gong Wei's intentions were very clear. He attacked Han from the south and Xiang Yu from the east.

Because of this, Lu Ze, who had already arrived in Liyang and planned to stay for a few days after the banquet, had to return to Wan County at night to prepare for the upcoming war.

Lu Zhi's sadness at this moment is also inseparable from the fact that he can only meet Lu Ze in a hurry and is about to part again.

However, Liu Ying has also sent people to Wan County to bring Lu Gong's family to live in Liyang.

In this way, it can alleviate the problem of Lu Zhi missing his relatives after he left, and it would be bad if Gong Wei, a master of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, broke through Lu Ze's defense line in World War I and threatened Wan County up.

Don't under the self-healing of the historical line, it becomes Xiang Yu threatening Liu Bang with Lu Gong, and Liu Bang changes the famous scene in history, saying things like you and my brother, my father-in-law is your father-in-law, you If you want to stew your father-in-law, remember to share with me...

Historically, this has been an unsolvable problem.

Even if Liu Bang knelt down and begged to surrender, Xiang Yu might not let Taigong Liu go, and if Liu Bang behaved in a firm and righteous manner, then according to Xiang Yu's nature, Liu Taigong might be familiar with him in minutes...

And most importantly, Xiang Yu didn't really want to cook Liu Taigong, but wanted to use this behavior to give himself an entry of Liu Bang's killing his father and enemy.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, great revanchism prevailed. When Liu Bang arrived, he could only attack with the whole army, both public and private, and fight Xiang Yu to the death!
But the problem is that the situation at that time was that Xiang Yu was eager to fight decisively to restore the decline of the entire battlefield, but for Liu Bang, as long as he procrastinated, he would win for sure!

So Liu Bang could only use this seemingly shameless approach to save Liu Taigong's life, and at the same time express to the Han army behind him that he had no plans to fight.

So, the ball was passed back to Xiang Yu.

In fact, according to Xiang Yu's nature, if you don't care, just kill him casually, but for the Xiang clan, if Xiang Yu really let Xiang Yu kill Liu Taigong, then the entire Xiang clan would become Liu Bang's enemies.

After the war, I'm afraid that the whole family will be wiped out, and no chicken or dog will be left behind!

Because of this, Bo Xiang, who represented the Xiang family, tried his best to persuade Xiang Yu to save Liu Taigong's life.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yu, who agreed to let Liu Taigong go, must be full of sadness in his heart...

After being caught by Chen Ping's countermeasures, the generals under his command were renounced, and the blood-related Xiang clan, because of personal interests, hurriedly drew a line with him at this critical moment, and watched him slide step by step. abyss.

The strength to pull out the mountain is overwhelming.The time is not good and the time will never die.There is nothing to do when the dying is not dying! What is the reason for the dying...

This ballad expresses Xiang Yu's sorrow at that time.

But Yu Ji, who saw through Xiang Yu's thoughts, drew her sword and killed herself, leaving Xiang Yu alone, bearing the bitter fruit of failure alone.

Therefore, on the edge of the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu, who was dismembered by knives, looked very sad... What a fart!
It's obviously super cool, right?

At that moment, the Qin soldiers who were murdered in Xin'an, the civilians who were massacred in Guanzhong and Qidi, these millions of innocent souls, truly let go of their grievances and entered a permanent sleep!

In the Liyang Palace, when there were singing and dancing, the Han army barracks far away in Liangdi were also full of joy and laughter.

The Han army was laughing, Hu Qi was laughing, and Peng Yue's water bandits were also beaming with joy.

With the joining of the elite Han army, the strong city that these water bandits could only look at in the past is like a grass curtain, which can be broken with one poke.

The money, food and treasures that Chu had worked so hard to accumulate for several years were swept away by them.

So today, eat enough meat and drink enough!
And tomorrow, there will be rewards for meritorious deeds, and everyone's pockets will become bulging!
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Peng Yue, Lu Wan and Liu Jia gathered together to discuss the next step.

Peng Yue's idea is naturally to take advantage of the victory and pursue Pengcheng in one go!

That is the heart of the Chu State, and in the treasury, most of the wealth that the Chu army looted from Guanzhong and Qi in the past is concentrated there, and there are countless gold and silver treasures!

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the world's wealth is concentrated in the city of Pengcheng!
But Lu Wan didn't think so.

They made such a big move in Liangdi, Xiang Yu had no reason to ignore it.

If the main force of the Chu army returns to aid when they attack Pengcheng, they will be forced to start a field battle with them.

Although at this time the Han army is all elite, and there are thousands of cavalry, plus the help of Peng Yue's army.

War is fearless, but there is no certainty of victory.

And when the troops were divided, the mission of their army was very clear.

Invade the enemy's rear and accumulate burns instead of fighting with the main force!
Therefore, Lu Wan's idea is to temporarily retreat to the north, relying on the big river, and cooperate with Han Xin's army on the other side.

As for the seventeen county towns that were taken down, after removing the supplies, it would be fine to leave only some local surrendered soldiers to maintain law and order.

If Xiang Yu calls, return it to him first, and then take it back when he returns to the main battlefield in Xingyang!

Well, Fang Tangjing calls an expert!
Therefore, Lu Wan and Peng Yue, who had a disagreement, looked at Liu Jia who was busy cooking.

"Stop eating, starving ghost? Tell me what you think!"

Lu Wan snatched the leg of lamb from Liu Jia's hand, put it in her mouth and started chewing.

After Liu Jia looked at Lu Wan with contempt, he uttered two words softly: "Withdraw to the north."

"That's it? Is it over?"

"It's over. Well, give me back the leg of lamb..."

Looking at the two people circling around him, Peng Yue felt a little dizzy, but immediately burst out laughing.

…………

To the east of Xingyang, the camp of the Chu Army.

At this moment, in Xiang Yu's Chinese army commander's tent, dark clouds were densely covered, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After looking around, Xiang Yu contemptuously cast a contemptuous glance at the taciturn Zhonglimei and the others, and said to Cao Jiu, Grand Sima Haichunhou who had just been transferred from Kuaiji County:

"No matter how Liu Ji challenges you, you only need to stick to the camp and not go out to fight! I will return to the east within fifteen days..."
