Destiny Only Han

Chapter 487 Zhao Tuo: Come to deceive, come to sneak attack...

Nanhai County, Panyu County.

The night was dark, there were no stars or moon in the sky, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.

A cold light flashed in the sky, and after a while, there was a rumbling sound of thunder. The lightning became more and more frequent, and the thunder became louder and louder.

Rolling thunder shook the earth again and again, and the world seemed to be destroyed soon. Houses were shrouded in bluish-white cold light, and strong lightning almost reversed time and space, bringing the whole world back to daylight.

Between lightning and thunder, squalls and showers came in an instant, and the heavy rain poured down, like the Milky Way flowing backwards.

In the palace of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo woke up suddenly. Against the background of the flashing lightning, he could see the big beads of sweat all over his body.

At this time, the wind blew past, and the window that was opened due to the heat suddenly slammed on the window frame, and there was a sound of glass shattering.

"Come on, hold the lamp..."

Zhao Tuo patted the bed a little irritably. Beside him, a woman with soft features was awakened by the sound of glass shattering. She sat up gently and leaned against Zhao Tuo. .

"Your Majesty is having nightmares again? My concubine heard from the Han merchants from the north that dreams are always reversed..."

"What do you know!"

Zhao Tuo sat up impatiently and wandered around the hall like an ant on a hot pot.

The army of the Northern Expedition to the Han Kingdom has been away for many days, but there is still no news sent, which makes the string in his heart tense all the time. These days, he is restless and unwilling to eat, and the nightmares are one after another. .

Just now, he had a dream, dreaming that none of the [-] troops from the Northern Expedition survived, his crown prince was decapitated, floating on the water and going down the current, his body was scrambled for food by predators in the water, aroused Bursts of water!
Although he is not very superstitious, this kind of dream is obviously not a good omen!
If I had known earlier, he should lead the troops northward to attack Han, and let the prince sit in Panyu and supervise the country...

But he also has no choice. In the three counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyue Kingdom, there are millions of people in Yue. It is not enough to subdue the local Yue people by relying on hundreds of thousands of Qin immigrants. He has to admit the leadership status of those Yue leaders, or seal Hou, or Fengwang.

Therefore, Zhao Zhong, as Zhao Tuo's successor, needed certain military achievements to build up his personal prestige and deter civil and military officials and those Yue leaders.

After all, he is not young anymore. Jiangnan is wet and his husband died young. Who knows how many years he can live?
The important thing is that the Han Kingdom is weak, and the Han people are ungrateful for profit. They can sell state secrets for a few fruits and spices growing on the trees, and they will tell the truth about the Han Kingdom in every detail...

Zhao Tuo firmly believed that his understanding of the Han Kingdom was probably higher than that of the emperor of the Han Kingdom. If he hadn't been deceived by the Confucian scholar named Lu Jia and led the army to the north, he would probably be sitting in Guanzhong facing the south. It's him!
"Liu Bang, it's just a pavilion chief in Surabaya..."

He sneered and took a step forward, but suddenly he jumped up like an electric shock and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Lonely foot, lonely foot hurts..."

A flash of lightning flashed, and Zhao Tuo saw his left foot was bleeding profusely, obviously he had stepped on broken glass on the floor.

So he was furious. Each of these glass windows was shipped thousands of miles from the Han Dynasty. Because they are fragile, they are even more expensive than gold of the same weight. The window caused the glass to shatter all over the floor, and it even hit his feet!
"Come on, drag them out and beat them all to death!"

Zhao Tuo let the woman with soft features bandage the wound on his foot, turned a deaf ear to the hoarse cries and begging for mercy, and inadvertently saw a staggering figure appearing on the palace road in the distance.

An inexplicably familiar figure!

In an instant, Zhao Tuo's already suspended heart jumped up.

Under the lightning that suddenly flashed across the sky, he clearly saw the rain-soaked figure, which was his crown prince, Zhao Zhong.

"Father, it's over, it's over..."

"We, we were so miserably deceived by Han merchants..."

Zhao Zhong threw himself in front of Zhao Tuo, talking incoherently about how he led the Northern Expedition, was defeated first in the wilderness, and then was besieged by the Han army on the Bamboo Mountain and beaten violently, while those Qin soldiers knelt and surrendered one after another, leaving only those The Yue warrior who couldn't understand the Han army shouting on the opposite side fought bravely, but was either killed or captured. Only he broke out from the other side with his horse and escaped all the way back...

Zhao Tuo was silent for a moment, then asked with a gloomy face, "So, the entire [-] army was wiped out?"

Zhao Zhong nodded, not knowing whether it was rain or sweat rolling down his pale face.

"Why are you still alive! Why didn't you kill Gu too!" Zhao Tuo waved his hand violently and knocked Zhao Zhong down to the ground, his body trembling violently in either shock or fear.

The [-] troops were the elite he selected from all over the country. Once these people were wiped out, the Nanyue Kingdom would only have [-] troops stationed in Panyu.

So he ignored the wound on his foot, stood up and held Zhao Zhong by the collar and asked, "Where is Hengpu Pass? Has Hengpu Pass been lost?"

Zhao Zhong shook his head, said with trembling lips: "Hengpu Pass is still there, the Han army somehow stopped chasing after reaching Nanyan (yě) County..."

Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the idiot son in his hands, but he was extremely annoyed. If his eldest son hadn't died young, it would not be the turn of this incompetent person to be the crown prince!

As a former Qin official, he knew very well why the Han army stopped pursuing them. This was because the county soldiers left the country privately without orders and regarded it as conspiracy.

And from Yuzhang County to the power center of the Han State, the straight-line distance is thousands of miles away, and it takes at least a month for official documents to come and go, and this is not counting the time for the Han State to form a resolution and discuss whether to fight or make peace .

Therefore, if Hengpu Pass has not been captured, it means that he still has enough time to dispatch troops and strengthen the city defense.

At the same time, he is also planning to send envoys to Han to ask for peace. As long as the two sides can stop fighting, he will not hesitate to evacuate his treasure house and return all those glazed wares that are as dear as life!
..............................

At the same time, Guanzhong, Chang'an City, and Weiyang Palace.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and the earth is silvery white. Dou Yifang is sitting under the window coffin, threading needles, and is holding the soles of her shoes. The soft moonlight shines on her gentle and sweet face, and a pair of pure and lovely deer Her eyes made her look pure and innocent.

Liu Ying will go south tomorrow to pacify the South Vietnamese country, so she had to give up her previous plan to make a suit of clothes for Liu Ying, and seize the time to make a pair of shoes first.

The mountains and rivers are far away, the roads are bumpy, a pair of thick and snug shoes can make her son-in-law more comfortable, and avoid hurting him and hurting her heart...

Under the moonlight, Dou Yifang was so concentrated that she sang a ditty from her hometown in a voice that she could only hear, so that she ignored a short and fat figure that sneaked under the wall.

Holding a few sharp white fangs in his hands, the figure moved under the window little by little, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the singing, and an auntie smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.

I got it, I got it... the CP she knocked on is sugary!
"who?"

"Meow..."

Hearing the cat meowing from outside the window, Dou Yifang was stunned for a moment, with a bit of anger at being insulted to IQ on his face, but this anger flashed away and replaced with a clear smile.

"So, it's a cat..."

After she said something in a voice that could be heard by people outside the window, she sat down straight away and continued with the female worker in her hand. She could finish the work with the last bit left, so she had to race against time.

She was very familiar with that voice, so naturally she didn't bother to care about it, and if she wanted to achieve her wish, she had to rely on the other party's strength. After all, she was just a little maid, and the other party was a marriage appointed by His Majesty the Emperor.

And outside the window, the little loli Liu Le thought she had concealed it, lightly patted her increasingly handsome chest, stuffed the few fangs she held in her hand into her waist pocket, and squatted on the ground bit by bit towards the distant ones. The bedroom moved over.

Well, those two fangs are the crocodile teeth, which the little Lolita forcibly broke off from the specimen...

She is going to find a skilled craftsman to make those fangs into daggers, and give the slightly shorter ones to Liu Ying, Liu Fei and others as gifts. As for the two almost average-sized ones, they are naturally She keeps it to herself to play...

In this way, when Lu Zhi found out that Xingshi was going to question him, he could also drag Liu Ying out as a shield!

perfect!

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

In the early morning, Chang'an City South Campus.

The flags and banners are unfurled, the red cards with high corners, the swords, axes and halberds are as dense as a forest.

Gathered here are Liu Ying's [-] infantry cavalry, and the remaining infantry needs to be recruited from various counties and counties, and take different roads to Changsha Kingdom to join him.

This battle is different from going north to fight the Xiongnu. The Nanyue Kingdom lacks cavalry. Coupled with the previous seclusion, even the tendons and horns needed to make bows and crossbows are also very scarce. The east wall is repairing the west wall, repairing those strong bows and crossbows that are more than 15 years old.

Therefore, all the cavalry of the young army changed into heavy armor and rode those cold-blooded heavy horses that were strong and tall, but not fast.

After a while, the war drums were thundering, and the yellow canopy floated slowly from afar. Liu Bang personally went on stage to nominate generals, and awarded Liu Ying the Baiyan Huangyue and Yinshou soldier talismans that could make decisions on the fly.

In the sound of the whole army shouting long live, Liu Bang was wearing black clothes and a crown of heaven, and he climbed up the steps with his left hand holding his sword.

After Liu Bang stepped onto the general platform, Liu Ying was wearing bright silver armor, with red tassels trembling on the top of the helmet, and stood at the bottom surrounded by Han Xin and eight soldiers.

This is the etiquette established by Shusun Tong. The emperor, facing the south of the steps, ordered to give the festival battleaxe, and the general received it.

"Really don't let me go with you?"

"No, don't talk about it! Daddy, hurry up, this set of armor is good-looking, it's too heavy..."
