Destiny Only Han

Chapter 334 Liu Ying: Convince others with virtue!
"Has Han Xin's envoy arrived?"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Liu Ying was a little confused for a while.

"The king of Chu said that he is sick, so he can't come to our army as a councilor..."

"It's not that. It doesn't matter whether he is a councilor or not. The important thing is, did he say anything else in the letter he wrote to you?"

Liu Bang stared at Liu Ying with a serious expression, making Liu Ying even more confused.

Liu Ying shook her head: "His letter only said that he was ill, so he couldn't travel far..."

Liu Bang looked at Xia Houying in silence, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Liu Ying also looked at Xia Houying and asked softly, "Did something happen?"

Xia Houying lowered his voice and said, "When Your Majesty and I were here, we received a secret report saying that Zang Tu sent many envoys to various vassal states, intending to unite them and rebel together!"

"what?"

Liu Ying's eyes widened immediately, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

It is very easy for the Han army to deal with a country of Yan, but if all the feudal princes and kings are rebellious, I dare not say that the Han Dynasty is in danger of falling, at least the land east of Xingyang may not be preserved!
What's more, his five-year plan, or his plan to restore Qin's old frontiers, will all be in vain!
"What are you panicking!" Liu Bang scolded softly, reaching out his hand to stop Liu Ying's shoulder: "with me here, the world will not be in chaos!"

Although Liu Bang's voice was very low at this moment, it made Liu Ying feel confident in an instant.

Although sometimes he despises Liu Bang very much, but it is undeniable that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Empire, is the number one in this era!

Xia Houying also nodded and said:

"When we were on this road, Han Wang Han Xin, Zhao Wang Zhang Ao, Liang Wang Peng Yue, and Huainan Wang Yingbu had already sent the head of the envoy of Yan Kingdom. As for Changsha King Wu Rui and Minyue King Zou Wu Zhu Ye explained this matter in the table above, and executed the envoys of Yan Kingdom in front of their respective ministers..."

"Only the king of Chu, Han Xin, neither sent an envoy nor explained the situation... Before coming here, His Majesty and I were still speculating that the crown prince has a good relationship with him, and whether he will tell you about the envoy of the Kingdom of Yan." said……"

After listening to what Xia Houying said, Liu Ying let out a long sigh and looked up at Liu Bang: "Does father think Han Xin will rebel?"

Liu Bang stared blankly at the front, and after a moment of silence, he still shook his head slightly: "I don't even know if I'm a father..."

Although he treats Han Xin well, the things the other party has done over and over again have greatly reduced his trust in Han Xin.

So Liu Ying also sighed and shook her head.

Han Xin didn't dare to turn against him, after all, he hadn't been cornered yet.

But, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Ying got along with him in those years and knew that he was an out-and-out political idiot, I'm afraid he would be worried that he would collude with Zang Tu of Yan State to fight against Liu Bang together...

So, for some people, it is better to stay obediently in Chang'an City and be a Marquis of Huaiyin...

After a while, the carriage drove into the camp.

What broke the silence was a grunt from Liu Ying's stomach.

He is now in a period of vigorous metabolism. A certain Yuan Lang who has passed through Han Xin said well, eat at twelve o'clock, and be hungry at 12:30!
Although Liu Ying missed the target at this time, he was not far away.

So he looked up at Liu Bang: "Father, are you hungry?"

Liu Bang nodded cooperatively: "I'm hungry, what do you think I want to eat?"

Liu Ying thought for a while: "One finger thick pork belly, fry the skin until golden, then add onion, ginger and star anise pepper to stew, finally slice it, put it in a bowl, and pour the blended fermented bean curd juice on it. Steam it in a wok until it becomes soft and rotten, then use it to sandwich steamed buns..."

For a moment, Liu Bang, who was not hungry at first, felt that he was also hungry: "It's so complicated, so you can eat it if you eat it?"

Liu Ying nodded vigorously: "Although it sounds complicated, if someone prepares the ingredients a day in advance and steams them in the pot in the morning, it will be just right for you to eat hot!"

Liu Bang asked again: "Is there any wine? Well, drinking is prohibited in the army. Is there any rice fermented water?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "No, only sugarcane fermented juice..."

So Liu Bang immediately pulled Liu Ying, and strode happily.

Behind him, Lu Ze looked at the two people who were leaving speechlessly for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked loudly, "What's the password for today?"

Liu Bang said without turning his head: "Destroy this imperial food!"

....................................

In the early morning, when the sun had not yet fully risen, the gates of the Han barracks opened wide, and groups of soldiers in armor and with bread in their dry food bags came out in formation.

If you are hungry, you will have no physical strength, and if you are full, you will have no fighting spirit.

In the era of cold weapons, the efficiency of killing people on the battlefield is not good, so many times there will be a hand-to-hand battle for a day.

The food they carry is to enable them to maintain their combat power during the stalemate stage of the battle and the subsequent pursuit stage.

As the Han army walked out of the camp one after another, under Zang Tu's order, the Yan army quickly appeared in every corner of the camp, holding long spears and hard crossbows, watching closely the smoke and dust billowing in the distance.

During the Battle of Gaixia, Zang Tu had seen the Han army's attacking ability and those strange but lethal weapons.

Later, he asked his engineers to copy a batch, but it was always in vain because of the lack of drawings of many key parts.

Therefore, the only way is for all the staff to stick to the camp and wait for the arrival of reinforcements...

Although, Zang Tu knew very well in his heart that judging from the current situation, those short-sighted people must have ignored his plea for help.

But people always have hope.

....................................

When Liu Bang saw Zang Tu's arrangement at the shogunate of the Han army, he felt that it was right in his arms.

So under his arrangement, the whole army imitated the tactics used by Han Xin when he attacked Xiang Yu's camp in the Battle of Gaixia that day.

He was in charge of the central army, Li Shang and Zhou Bo were in charge of the left and right armies respectively, Fan Kuai and Lin Zhi were in the vanguard, and Ding Fu and Guan Ying commanded the Yanzhao cavalry and the Langzhong cavalry, like two spread wings, with their wings spread out.

Amidst the rumble of drums, gravity trebuchets dragged by eight horses moved forward slowly.

On both sides of the catapult, there are soldiers of the Han army holding spears and crossbows.

Many veterans recruited from Guanzhong had hatred in their resolute eyes.

The tradition that has continued from the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States to the present tells them that the revenge of the ninth generation can be avenged!

Although they had no enmity with the people of Yan, Zang Tu, king of Yan, was the culprit who looted Xianyang and killed countless people of Qin!

When they were about to leave, the wives, daughters and sisters at home not only enjoined them earnestly:

No, don't go back!
And also gritted his teeth and said: Brother, don't let the enemies far away!

Well, the so-called 'don't return' means that if you can't gain military merits, don't come back...

Under the national policy of Qin State's century-old farming and war, Qin people have developed this tradition of being happy when they hear the war. Even though Qin State is gone now, Han inherited the Qin system and still uses the military merit system, which is more powerful than Qin State's original version. Be generous at least twice!
The drums are rumbling and the whistle is loud.

The Han army united as one, slowly pressing down on the Yan army's camp like a big mountain.

Liu Ying stood beside Liu Bang, leaning on the railing, and couldn't help sighing.

He originally thought that he would have to practice for at least three to five days before a decisive battle.

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as Liu Bang arrived, he immediately launched the final decisive battle against the Yan army.

This disrupted all his plans!

The reason why he fought so hard to win the former general of the army who attacked Yan this time was to resolve this matter peacefully.

But as long as the Han army and the Yan army start fighting at this moment, Zang Tu will undoubtedly die!

And he will never have the chance to rewrite history!

After all, in his opinion, the princes and kings rebelled one after another, and Liu Bang put out the fires all over the country as an old man, which was the worst and worst ending.

To fight outside, you must first be safe inside.

Endless internal friction, the cheapest one in the end is the Xiongnu who are constantly integrating internal resources and slowly expanding!

The current stage is the last time to contain the Huns.

Once the Huns are allowed to completely control the Silk Road and establish contact with many countries in Central Asia, skills such as animal husbandry and metallurgy to improve comprehensive national strength will be improved to a certain extent.

And most importantly, the Huns have truly acquired a factor necessary to become a powerful country.

Strategic depth!

In later generations, the reason why the Han and Xiongnu died for hundreds of years was because the Xiongnu had a large enough land and a steady stream of blood from the Western Regions, so that they could become centipedes, dead but not stiff!
Therefore, Liu Ying's philosophy is naturally to face the internal situation, compromise if possible, and try to use political means to resolve conflicts.

After all, there is no class enemy between the Han Kingdom and the various vassal states at this time...

Liu Ying looked sideways, avoiding the rising sun, just stomped her feet, and swore in her heart: Kuai Che, Wu She, if you can't even do this little thing, then he will dig a lifetime of gold for Nai Gong !
....................................

Kuai Che sneezed violently on the cloud carriage of the Yan Army Zhongjun, and then sniffed at Zang Tu's gaze and said, "It's cold in the north, maybe it's because of the wind and cold last night..."

Beside him, Wu She pointed to the Han army who was about to be destroyed by the dark clouds in the distance and said: "My servant dare to ask the king, can this battle be won?"

Zang Tu slowly closed his eyes without saying a word.

Wu She asked again: "Has Your Majesty ever thought about the consequences of fighting against the Heavenly Soldiers?"

Seeing that Zang Tu didn't speak, Kuai Che leaned over and said, "Your Majesty was guilty of trying to get involved in Daijun before..."

Zang Tu interrupted, "That's not Dai Commandery, it's the abandoned land of the Qin Dynasty occupied by the Huns..."

Kuai Che blushed and roared: "Whatever it is, trying to confront His Majesty at this moment is a capital crime! Not only you will die, but your entire Zang family will die! A chicken and a dog can't live! Let's go, don't follow This dying man babbles!"

Wu She was forced to take two steps by him, then suddenly turned around and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not always true. His Royal Highness said that it is not destiny that chooses us, but we choose destiny... In the midst of certain death, there may be a chance of survival !"

In an instant, Zang Tu turned around suddenly: "Please teach me, sir!"
