Destiny Only Han

Chapter 335 Liu Bang: I can bear more!
In the north of Quni County, Longtuo.

This small place that was not well-known in the past, now there are two huge army formations scattered across the wilderness.

It's just that opposite the Han army rushing in like a tide, the flag of Yan State waving in the wind quickly lowered, and it was replaced by an undyed, slightly yellowish white cloth.

Although there was no saying that the white flag was hoisted to indicate surrender at this time, the abnormal color of the flag still made Liu Bang a little puzzled.

Just beside him, Liu Ying jumped three feet high, but when Liu Bang looked at him, he turned into that very cute look again.

The closed gate of the Yan army's fortress was suddenly opened. Zang Tu, wearing plain clothes and a straw rope tied around his neck, came out with bare feet.

Obviously, he is Qin Ziying who left the city and surrendered in cos.

This is exactly what Liu Ying wants to achieve.

A commoner emperor who was born as a knight-errant like Liu Bang is not the same as a pure political animal born in the court and raised as Emperor Han Jing and Han Wu.

He is a person who takes face very seriously.

The most important thing is that if people respect him one foot, he will pay back one foot!
For example, when Liu Bang escorted the corvée to Xianyang to repair the tomb of the First Emperor, Xiao He gave him an extra two hundred yuan as travel expenses when he parted.

Liu Bang remembered this trivial matter for a lifetime.

So when entrusting the meritorious officials, Xiao He was granted an additional [-] households.

What is the concept of two thousand households?

For example, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, exterminated Wei, Yan, Qi, and Dai. This series of feats of annihilating the country finally brought back a rank of [-] households...

So at this moment, Zang Tu accepted Wu She's suggestion in order to give Liu Bang enough face and bring the whole situation back to a situation that Liu Ying can control.

In fact, judging from historical records, Liu Bang never had the idea of ​​killing others.

For example, Peng Yue, Liu Bang suspected that he wanted to rebel, so he sent someone to take him down and beat him to the end.

Originally, the matter came to an end here, but I couldn't help but someone fanned the flames...

So, Peng Yue, died...

And then, Yingbo began to rebel...

Liu Bang: ...

So, support the divorce... Liu Ying knowingly pointed to Zang Tu who walked out barefoot in the distance, with a childish face: "Hey, isn't that the King of Yan?"

Liu Bang lowered his head and looked at Liu Ying, with a look of tiredness in his eyes.

My own little boy knows that whenever he pretends to be a child, he must dig a hole for others.

What I don't know is, who is he planning to dig a hole for?
For a moment, after Liu Bang despised him, his heart was filled with apprehension.

His eyes were slightly closed, he watched Zang Tu's every move coldly, and he was certain of one thing in his heart.

Such a big reversal before and after, if you say that it has nothing to do with this seemingly innocent kid beside you, the dog will not believe it!
So, he decided to stay the same and see how things develop next.

In fact, the war against Yan was not Liu Bang's whim, but a plan after discussing with Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He and others.

Not only the Yan State, but also the vassal states such as the Liang State and the Chu State are also included in this package plan.

The destruction of the country, or the reduction of the vassal, is something that must be carried out in the Han Dynasty today.

In the past, Zhou destroyed Shang, and Zhou Tianzi divided up the feudal states, mainly to suppress the restoration of merchants, and because of the traffic conditions and productivity conditions at that time, it was a last resort.

But at that time, Emperor Zhou was the father of the princes, and he could destroy whoever he wanted...

After all, there are six divisions of the Son of Heaven, the second division of Fang Bo, and the first division of princes... No, to be precise, there are fourteen divisions in total in the Son of Heaven!

However, following the coquettish operations of King Zhou Zhao and King Xuan of Zhou, Yin Eighth Division and West Sixth Division lost all casualties, so the later Zhou Tianzi changed from father to "your mother and maidservant"...

However, after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and became supreme, he abandoned the enfeoffment and used the coexistence of the county system and the monarchy system, which was not a lesson learned from the demise of the Zhou Dynasty.

The fundamental reason is that with the development of productive forces and the innovation of the system, the control of the aristocracy over the political power has been weakened, and the foundation of the enfeoffment system has disappeared.

The enfeoffment system is not enfeoffment for the sake of enfeoffment, because only enfeoffment can effectively manage the villages and towns scattered all over the world.

And when the power of the low-level nobles is replaced by non-hereditary low-level officials such as village chiefs and countrymen, enfeoffment will no longer be the establishment of a management system from branch to branch and then leaf, but only the achievement of individual warlords.

Therefore, Qin, which has been established for hundreds of years and has enough officials to take over local power, naturally does not need to entrust the princes as princes and kings.

The Qin State's rush to the street has nothing to do with whether it is divided or not. It was simply limped by the Legalists, so that they did not regard the leaders of the world as human beings.

But the Han Dynasty and the Qin State are incomparable. The Qin State can not be separated, but the Han State cannot.

It can only be entrusted first, and then slowly take back the power from the princes and kings.

After all, as long as you are not stupid, you will understand a truth.

That is, this group of princes and kings who control administrative, legislative, taxation, military and other powers, are called courtiers, but are actually warlords who ruled one side, and they are the root of the turmoil in the world!

For example, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, when the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty wanted to use troops against the Xiongnu, the princes and kings who were enfeoffed began to prepare their troops and horses, preparing to "replace him"...

And the so-called unsolvable Tweet Order was also based on the fact that the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion had been quelled and almost all the vassal states had been abolished.

After all, it was Jia Yi in the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty who formally proposed the Tweeting Order at the earliest.

But at that time, the central government of the Han Dynasty simply did not have the strength to implement it.

Yangmou has always relied on strength.

If the empty talk can succeed with just a few words, then Wu Chu would have split into many small countries long ago, and there would be no Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

In fact, in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was not the Tweet Order that caused the greatest damage to the princes and kings, but the even more incomprehensible "Gold Lost Marquis".

Gold is the gold used by princes and princes to assist sacrifices when offering sacrifices to the Taimiao.

At that time, Qi Guoguo wrote a letter asking to attack Nanyue, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially announced to the world, hoping that more people would respond and donate some money.

However, the princes of the world completely ignored it.

So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty squatted at the gate of the ancestral temple, checked the fineness of the gold, and slapped more than 100 princes at once...

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

In the middle of the day, following Zang Tu's surrender, the soldiers of the Yan army, who didn't want to and couldn't beat them, handed over their weapons with joy on their faces, and obediently walked outside the camp and sat on the ground.

Although the Han army guarding them showed some bad looks, but the Han army had strict discipline, and no one dared to speak or humiliate the other party.

On the contrary, under Liu Ying's instructions, the surrendering soldiers set up stoves one after another, and the sweet aroma of the dough cakes began to waft in the wind.

For a while, those soldiers of the Yan Army who were accustomed to eating millet and sorghum kept swallowing their saliva, eagerly waiting to be fed...

Well, Yan State lived in a corner and lacked communication with the Central Plains, especially Qin State, which represented the most advanced farming technology, so the level of agricultural production almost remained at the end of the Zhou Dynasty.

Naturally, poor food means poor combat effectiveness.

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

Zang Tu commanded the camp of the Yan army.

Liu Bang sat on the main seat, crossing his legs and looking proud, while in front of him was Zang Tu, who was prostrate on the ground with bare feet.

Liu Bang asked in a cold voice, "Are you convicted?"

Zang Tu lay on the ground and said in a low voice, "Convicted."

Liu Bang refused to let go: "What's the crime?"

After being stunned for a moment, Zang Tu continued to say in a low voice, "You shouldn't have invaded Dai's land..."

Before Liu Bang continued to speak, he said in tears: "The sinner is willing to give up the position of King Yan and apologize for his death. I only hope that Your Majesty will show mercy and forgive the criminals' family..."

For a moment, apart from Zang Tu's weeping, there was no sound in the big tent.

Liu Bang couldn't help but start to have trouble.

Executing Zang Tu and handing over the Yan Kingdom to the control of his own people who he can trust, this is the purpose of his personal conquest.

But now there is no real battle between the two sides, and Zang Tu has given up all his dignity at this moment and put his posture in the dust.

In this case, if he really killed the other party, not only would his conscience be offended, but what would the world think?
After looking around for a week, Liu Ying took the initiative to stand up, looked at Liu Bang and said, "I feel that King Yan had the merits of destroying Qin in the past, and later he was responsible for killing Xiang Ji. If the death penalty is imposed, it may not be appropriate..."

Seeing what Liu Ying said, Lu Ze stood up and echoed, "The prince's words are reasonable. After all, Zang Tu has made meritorious service to the country. It is enough to deprive the throne of King Yan, and the death penalty should be spared!"

Liu Bang looked at Zang Tu, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and at Liu Ying, who kept winking at him, and said with a slight smile, "Since King Lu also said so, then Zang Tu should be spared the death penalty!"

He looked at Liu Ying and said: "Zang Tu has made great contributions to the country, so there is no need to punish him as a commoner. He will abolish the throne of King Yan, demote him to be Marquis of Guannei, and move his family to Liyang..."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Liu Ying bowed her hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness should be a model for the world!"

Seeing that Liu Ying said so, Lu Wan, Fan Kui and others in the tent also immediately came out, boasting about Liu Bang...

Liu Bang smiled reservedly and said nothing, but when everyone ran out of words, he knocked on the table and said, "Don't stop, keep going!"

Liu Ying resisted the urge to put her middle finger up, and stood there quietly.

Zang Tu surrendered, and the war in Yan State naturally ceased to exist.

However, this border area far away from Guanzhong and located between the Xiongnu, Donghu, Liaodong barbarians, and Jizi Korea cannot be effectively directly administered by the central government of the Han Dynasty.

Thieves come to fight.

But if we wait until the order from Guanzhong arrives, the war may not be what it was before.

Therefore, it is imperative to seal the king.

Liu Bang looked at Lu Wan, nodded lightly, and immediately shifted his gaze to the generals in the tent: "The land of Yan cannot be without a king, the generals think, who should be the king of Yan?"

Liu Ying was about to answer first, but suddenly felt her sleeves sink, and a long-lost voice came out of her mind.

"Cotton... cotton?"

ps: Look, the system is still alive!

In addition, eat big melons, have no intention of writing...
