Destiny Only Han

Chapter 57 Counting Heroes

In Yebingfang, Pan Gong led Liu Bang and his son to a place where they would not be disturbed by busy craftsmen.

There seemed to be a bit of nostalgia in his eyes:

"Qi Mo insisted on 'non-attack', especially after the Five Kingdoms defeated Qi and Tian Dan returned to the country, he was unable to compete with other countries, so he could only close the main roads and seek self-protection."

"On that day, Wang Ben narrowly destroyed Yan Zhisheng and attacked on a large scale. Qi Wangjian didn't want to see the loss of life, so he followed the example of when Chu State attacked Song Dynasty. Gambling in the city."

"The two parties agreed that if Qi Mo wins, the Qin army will withdraw its troops, and the king of Qi will enter Xianyang to become a vassal of Qin. If Wang Ben wins, then Qi will surrender and become the prefecture of Qin."

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Qin is worthy of the surname Ying, bet with others once, and win twice! Winning is embarrassing!"

Liu Bang froze for a moment, frowned, and reprimanded: "It's so heroic to bet on the country with one word! If you talk too much, you kid, be careful that I will beat you!"

Liu Ying puffed her cheeks, and said unconvinced: "It's all over, let's count the heroes and heroes, let's look at the present!"

Pan Gong stared at Liu Ying with a smile on his face, without saying a word.

Liu Bang tapped Liu Ying on the head: "You little brat, which hero do you know, which hero?"

You wait for me, and when you get back, you will sue Lao Lao Liu for being tricky... Liu Ying raised her head and said:

"There is a man, the head of Guizhou in common clothes, a knight-errant with a sword, and everyone in the world calls him an elder. He freed the prisoners, killed the white snake at night, and raised his troops to punish the Qin Dynasty, with the intention of helping the world! My father said, is such a person a hero? !"

Liu Bang twirled his beard, with a reserved smile on his face: "Of course, he is not only a hero, but also a great hero, a great hero!"

Shameless... Liu Ying stopped talking to Liu Bang, and turned to look at the stunned Duke Pan: "Then it must be King Jian of Qi who lost, but according to the bet, it is enough to sacrifice the country and submit to him. How could he encounter the disaster of killing himself?"

Pan Gong sighed, nodded and said: "After the two sides fought fiercely all day and night, Qi Wangjian tried every means, but in the end he lost to Wang Ben, so he surrendered to Qin according to the agreement."

"However, Qin State intends to unify the world, and Qin Mo also wants to unify the Mo people in the world. King Qi Jian is the king of Qi State, and also the leader of Qi Mo. If he does not die, both King Qin and Zhao Ping, the leader of Qin Mo, will have trouble sleeping and eating! "

Liu Ying closed her eyes slightly, and remembered the text she had memorized: "Benevolence and justice are not done, but the offensive and defensive forces are different! Poor, lamentable..."

"Benevolence and righteousness are not applied..." Liu Bang murmured softly, looking at Xiao Douding, who was holding his hands behind his back, closing his eyes and shaking his head, he felt that the style of painting seemed a little crooked.

However, he felt that what Liu Ying said today should have been heard from Zhang Liang or Lu Ze.

Liu Ying pretended for a while, then looked up at Pan Gong and asked, "Qi Mo is done, what about Chu Mo?"

There was a look of grief on Pan Gong's face: "Chu Mo upholds the principle of 'non-attack' and punishes violence with the sword. At the beginning of Qin's destruction of Chu, general Li Xin led 20 troops to the south, but under the great efforts of Chu Mo and Chu general Xiang Yan, With cooperation, the Qin army was finally defeated..."

Liu Ying nodded. He knew that after Qin's first conquest of Chu failed, the First Emperor immediately went to Wang Jian himself, admitted his mistake face to face, and mobilized a large army to destroy Chu.

Pan Gong paused for a moment, sighed and said:
"Although the state of Chu repelled Li Xin, the unification of the world was clear at this time. When Wang Jian led 60 Qin troops to invade, Xiang Yan was defeated. In the end, he overthrew the army and killed the general, and committed suicide."

"At that time, the rangers of Chu and Mo who served in the Chu army, because they admired Xiang Yan as a man, and because they didn't want to be the people of Qin, they all committed suicide. After this battle, there was nothing left..."

After Liu Ying was silent for a long time, she raised her head again and asked, "If Qi sent troops to attack Qin when Qin and Chu faced each other, would the outcome be different?"

When Wang Jian attacked Chu, in order to consume Chu's national power, he held on for less than a year. If Qi could send troops to attack Qin, or cut off the Qin army's food supply, the general situation of the world may not be known yet.

After all, this time the Qin army came out in full force, just like the Battle of Changping that year. Although the Qin army won in Changping, its vitality was severely injured, and it was not until Lu Buwei was in power that he finally recovered.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Bang couldn't help laughing. He really thought his little boy was a monster, and he didn't expect to ask such a naive question.

What a laugh... Liu Ying raised her eyebrows, and looked at Liu Bang with some regret.

"You don't understand that, let Naigong teach you!" Liu Bang raised the corner of his mouth, considering his words, well, mainly recalling what Zhang Liang told him not long ago.

He pondered and said: "Qi, like South Korea, was severely eroded before Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Even without Qin, I'm afraid it won't last for a few years."

"It's just that the Qi State chose to close its doors and wait for the right time, while the South Korean monarchs chose the most short-sighted 'bribing Qin'..."

"Well, I understand this!" Liu Ying nodded: "The land is the Qin Dynasty, and I still hold the salary to put out the fire. The salary is not exhausted, but the fire is not extinguished..."

Liu Bang touched his head and continued: "However, this is a helpless move for South Korea. After all, he is sandwiched between Wei, Chu, and Qin. Every day is a day."

"However, the Qi State was once glorious for a long time, but after the five kingdoms defeated Qi, it fell into a slump. Although Tian Dan was restored to the country, the national strength has already declined, and there is no possibility of hegemony anymore."

"And the most important thing is that after the Battle of Changping, Qin State invaded Handan, intending to destroy Zhao in one battle, but was repelled by Lord Xinling, and then led the five kingdoms to attack Qin. If King Anli of Wei State was not stupid, I'm afraid that Qin State will perish long ago!"

When he talked about Mr. Xinling, his eyebrows were beaming, quite like the way fans in later generations would look like when they saw their idols.

"It was at this time that the Qin State was unable to go eastward, so the goals of the Central Plains countries focused on the Qi State, which had no danger to defend and was in a state of collapse."

"Thus, Chu, Wei, and Zhao began to attack Qi State frantically."

"The state of Chu occupied Huaibei and annexed Sishang, and captured Jucheng, one of the five capitals of Qi; the state of Zhao occupied Jixi and northern Jibei, and captured Gaotang, one of the five capitals of Qi; One of them, Pinglu, even broke through the Great Wall of Qi State, Bingfeng fought all the way to Lixia (now Jinan), directly threatening Linzi, the last capital of Qi State."

Liu Bang smiled suddenly, raised his hand and lowered three fingers:
"Three of the five capitals were taken away, the danger of Jishui and Taishan almost disappeared, and the southern Great Wall also existed in name only. With such deep hatred, when Qin State attacked Zhao, Wei, and Chu, Qi State did not send troops to help Qin State. Enough benevolence and righteousness, if King Qi wants to send troops to help his enemies, I'm afraid Qi people will not agree!"

After Liu Bang finished speaking, he had a really awesome expression on his face.

Facing his eyes eager for praise, Liu Ying had no choice but to stick out her thumb: "I have insight into the world, my child worships me!"
