Destiny Only Han

Huainan Palace.

Ying Bu with a gloomy face stood still after reading the letterhead sent by the messenger, his whole body seemed to be petrified, but the blood on his face was gone, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from his forehead and nose.

The letter stated that Liu Bang was about to tour the Jianghuai River, so he was asked to go to Peixian County to make a pilgrimage to the emperor, and then, together with King Jing and King Chu, led the emperor on a southern tour as a pioneer, and as the host, provided food, clothing, housing and transportation for the entourage.

Well, although it was written on the letterhead that Donggong would pay for the requisition of houses, laborers, food, wine and food, but this didn’t really matter to Yingbu.

His Huainan Kingdom covers a very large area. At the earliest time, it had jurisdiction over 63 counties in Jiujiang, Hengshan, and Lujiang counties, which is equivalent to the vast area from southeast Henan, southern Jiangsu to Zhejiang, Fujian, and northern Jiangxi. Nearly 40 million people!

Although a Yuzhang County was later cut off, reducing [-] counties on paper, the total population was actually reduced by only [-] to [-] households, which was at most the new population of Huainan State in one year.

In recent years, Yingbu has been persuading farming and mulberry teaching, introducing a large number of new plows and cattle, and continuing to expand the coverage of water conservancy projects on the basis of the old water storage irrigation projects such as the old ponds in Huainan during the Spring and Autumn Period. In one fell swoop, the area of ​​irrigated fields in Huainan accounted for more than [-]% of the irrigated fields in the world!

Well, at this time Guanzhong hadn’t built water conservancy projects such as Liufu Canal and Longshou Canal, and the reason why Liu Ying was not in a hurry to build water conservancy projects was that Guanzhong now implements the three-field system, and cattle and pigs are raised for God, strive to achieve a qualitative change from eating enough to eating well. As for the daily food, most of it is transported from the Kanto water.

Therefore, the Huainan Kingdom, which has at least three years of grain in its treasury, doesn't care whether it provides food to more than 1 people for free.

Yingbo was sweating profusely at the moment, as if he had been fished out of the water, mainly because he remembered an incident many years ago.

Pseudo-you Yunmeng captures Han Xin!
At that time, he released false news, misfortune, and covered up the heavy infantry that he secretly purchased the imperial court's express ban, which made Han Xin and Liu Bang turn against each other, and solved the military pressure of Chu State under Han Xin's control on Huainan State with one stone.

Well, he is not afraid of Han Xin, or rather, he does not think he is much worse than Han Xin. After all, he was once the number one general under the command of King Huai of Chu, second only to Xiang Yu, who came from behind...

As for Han Xin, there was no hero at the time, so he made Shuzi famous...

If it weren't for the fact that the Han army was not good at fighting, Xiao He's food from thousands of miles away, Liu Ying's new armor, and all kinds of amazing siege equipment, I am afraid that it is still unknown who will win the battle between Chu and Han!

Therefore, Yingbo is now worried about one thing, whether he will become the protagonist of folk stories sung by children.

Pseudo tour Jianghuai to capture Yingbu...

Although he goes to Chang'an City to pay homage to Liu Bang every year during the New Year, but on the one hand, he is a visitor from afar, and the important thing is that he has the trump card that he is not afraid of being detained by Liu Bang.

That is he has grown sons.

During the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu broke through the Jiujiang Kingdom. Although he killed Yingbo's queen and the queen's children, Yingbo became a bandit in his early years. "There are about seventy or eighty Mrs. Yazhai who have given birth to children for him, so naturally there is no shortage of sons.

Therefore, every time before Yingbo went to pilgrimage to Liu Bang, he would hand over the military and political power in the country to his concubine sons. After all, the crime he committed was a capital crime. If his sons wanted to survive, the only way to survive was to fight the court.

Because of this, he was sure that Liu Bang would not attack him, causing the entire southeast of the empire to fall into war again.

But this time was different. Liu Bang himself went to Peixian County and summoned him to go on a pilgrimage.

In this way, once he is taken down, he will immediately use the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven as the center, with the armies of Jing, Chu, and Changsha as the forerunners, and the armies of Lu, Qi, and Liang as the backup, and gather in ten months. Raised hundreds of thousands of troops, and marched into Huainan country in multiple ways!

In this way, the scope of the battlefield is concentrated in Huainan Kingdom, which is a corner of the Han Empire compared to the entire Han Empire.

In terms of the size of the Han Empire today, even if Huainan was destroyed and a population of two to three million people died, it is definitely within the acceptable range!
Moreover, when Liu Bang came in person and he was detained by Liu Bang again, I am afraid that if his sons want to rise up and fight desperately, those county magistrates and generals will secretly communicate with the court, and even turn against each other!

Therefore, he must not leave Huainan country even one step!
However, the princes and kings refused to be summoned by the emperor, which was equivalent to engraving the word "rebel" on their foreheads, and it was a sentence of death for themselves.

Therefore, you will die if you go to Pei County, and you will die if you live in Huainan...

At this moment, Yingbo seems to be in Daze Township, incarnated as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang...

Yingbo paced back and forth in the palace like ants on a hot pot, worrying about gains and losses, so much so that he ignored the flawed rhetoric of the guards who reported to him about the execution of adulterers and adulterers.

In fact, up to now, he actually still has a trace of luck in his heart. He feels that Liu Bang is an honest elder. Make an allowance for the mistakes he made a few years ago.

After all, nowadays, with iron smelting technology and coal and iron workshops blooming everywhere, the steel production of various vassal states has been increasing year by year. For example, the prohibition of the vassal states except the army directly under the Han Dynasty to install heavy infantry armor has actually long been In name only!

Not only was he secretly imitating the iron armor, but the Changsha country next door even went into the mountains to arrest the slaves of the Yue people, and those slave arresting teams subordinate to Changsha King Wu Chen even equipped with half-length breastplates!
It's the kind of plate armor that is almost immune to slashing with swords, even in the face of halberds and battle axes!
Therefore, what is the point of tens of thousands of heavy infantry armors?
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time in the palace, Yingbo decided not to turn back...

After all, all these years of prosperity and wealth have worn away not only his determination to kill and kill, but also made him more resentful of his life. Whenever there is a slight possibility, he will not fight to the death.

But everything must be prepared.

Yingbu recruited his confidantes who stood in the palace and asked them to send messengers and scouts. The former was looking for friends in the Han court to inquire about news. The real purpose of this trip!
As for the latter, it is even simpler. Those people went to the three neighboring countries of Jing, Chu, and Changsha to inquire about news, to see if there were any signs of army mobilization and food and grass transfers.

Especially grain transfer!
Wars have always been about fighting for money. After all, military strategists have a saying that the method of using soldiers is to drive thousands of chariots, to ride a thousand leather chariots, to carry one hundred thousand armour, and to feed food for thousands of miles. , The service of the car armor costs a thousand dollars a day, and then a teacher of one hundred thousand will be raised!
Therefore, as long as there is no large army mobilization in the neighboring vassal states, there are signs of food and grass transshipment, which is enough to prove that Liu Bang's trip is not really aimed at him...

Of course, it is not ruled out that they will be deceived by strategy.

Therefore, it is necessary to combine the information obtained from the Hanting Central Committee, and listen to it to understand!

This is Yingbo's first-hand preparation. As for the second-hand preparation, it is natural to gather his allies and prepare to fight Liu Bangyu to the death!
In fact, his best ally is the Changsha Kingdom next door. After all, his former queen was the daughter of Changsha King Wu Rui, who is now the sister of Changsha King Wu Chen.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu's attack on Jiujiang Kingdom was too fast, and he didn't have time to escape from the six counties with the queen. In other words, he could only use the queen and his party as bait to divert the attention of the Chu soldiers who were chasing him. Use this to escape death!
Therefore, from that day on, he and Wu Rui have been strangers to each other, even equal to enemies!
After all, after hearing the news of the tragic death of her daughter, Wu Rui's wife, who was not in good health, was deeply saddened. She fainted and vomited blood on the spot, and died of depression within a few years.

Ying Bu believed that if it wasn't for the weak national power of Changsha, Wu Rui would have gathered his troops and horses, and would have fought to the end with him and Xiang Yu, two direct and indirect female murderers...

Therefore, Yingbo's ally can only be Minyue on the other side.

Although there is still the Eastern Ou Kingdom between him and the Minyue Kingdom, this is the fundamental reason why he and the Minyue King are allied by blood and become brothers of different surnames.

Minyue Kingdom and Dongou Kingdom share the same ancestor, they are both descendants of the former Yue King Goujian.

When Sun Wujiang, the sixth king of Yue, Goujian, tried to take advantage of the fire to annex Chu, and become a hegemon in the southeast, he was pushed back by Chu, and the country was destroyed. Yue, together with Wu, which was occupied by Yue, all became Chu. The borders of the country...

However, Wujiang's eldest son Yu established the Minyue Kingdom in the Fujian area, and the second son's hoof established the Dongou Kingdom in the south of Ouyu Mountain, that is, the Zhejiang area.

Because of this, the Minyue Kingdom has a strong claim of the Eastern Ou Kingdom, and has been trying to arrange various reasons to pour dirty water on the Eastern Ou Kingdom, trying to convince the Han Kingdom that the existence of the Eastern Ou Kingdom is a mistake, and they must be destroyed...

Of course, it is best for Minyue Kingdom to annex Dongou Kingdom.

It's a pity that although Minyue Kingdom's small calculations were good, Liu Bang, or Liu Ying did not agree, and even sent envoys to reprimand them.

If you move, the country will be destroyed!
The one that will be destroyed is of course the Minyue Kingdom!

However, although the Minyue Kingdom was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, it actually obeyed the tune and did not listen to the announcement. Except for the regular pilgrimage to Liu Bang every year and the presentation of a few cars of the Minyue Kingdom’s special products, all the military and political power in the country was controlled by Fujian. In the hands of the king of Yue, the prime minister and lieutenant of the country were all appointed by the king of Minyue, not by the Central Committee of Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in the covenant between Yingbu and the King of Minyue, the two parties acted as an offensive and defensive alliance against the central government of Han, and divided up the Eastern Ou Kingdom.

A moment later, the dove, a symbol of peace, circled upwards with a signal of war, and flew towards Minyue Kingdom.
