Destiny Only Han

Chapter 616 Liu Ying: I never hold grudges, I will avenge them on the spot...

Linzi, the palace of King Qi, has a long and deep corridor.

"Get out of the way!"

"Do not."

Liu Ying tried her best to break through the defense, but she was still blocked by Fan Kui, and she couldn't surpass Fan Kui by even one step.

Liu Bang beat drums and gathered generals, just because this is the palace of King Qi, and there is no corridor bridge that Liu Ying can directly reach the inner hall, so as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he was overtaken by Fan Kuai, who was holding up the hem of his clothes and striving to be No.1.

As a man with a football field built in his mansion and two teams, Fan Kui played football at home when he was not working, and sometimes played friendly matches with teams raised by nobles of the same level.

Of course, the latter is mostly accompanied by gambling, drinking, and then everyone is shirtless, and the nose is bruised and the face is swollen...

Because of this, Liu Ying's fake movements could not be concealed from Fan Kui at all. He even held the hem of his clothes with one hand with great interest, and rubbed Liu Ying's head with the other hand from time to time to express his humiliation...

I will never forgive this guy, and I will complain to my mother when I get back... Liu Ying gritted her molars, ignored Fan Kui's frequent teasing expressions, and continued to run forward with a sullen head, waiting for an opportunity to overtake.

Finally, let him find a chance.

Although Fan Kui was a relative and a meritorious marquis, he was not qualified to walk on the sword, so while Fan Kui was standing at the gate of the hall hurriedly taking off his shoes and handing over his sword, Liu Yingfei kicked him on the ass, He staggered from the kick, and immediately broke free and rushed into the main hall.

Well, the shoes Fan Kuai wears are not old-fashioned shoes, but lace-up thick-soled thin boots, calfskin limited edition...

After rushing into the main hall, Liu Ying adjusted to the brightness in front of her eyes, looked at Liu Bang who was standing facing the spread map, her eyes were a little straightened, and she swallowed back the blurted words of war.

Liu Ying noticed that what Liu Bang was wearing now was not the loose and short Chufu he was used to, nor was it a Xuanyi dress, but a set of somewhat old armor, as if he had once been in Gaixia. In the battle, the outfit worn by Xiang Yu to determine the final winner!
Therefore, Liu Bang in front of him, although the dark circles on his face made him look a little haggard, but with his head held high and his chest held high, against the backdrop of his military uniform, he was no longer as depressed and depressed as he was when he heard that Huainan Wang Yingbu wanted to rebel.

Well, Liu Bang's depression is understandable. After all, Yingbo used to be his robe who fought side by side. He also thought to himself that he had never done anything wrong to Yingbo, but Yingbo still betrayed him...

And most importantly, the news of Yingbo's rebellion was actually sent by Han Xin!
This made him face Han Xin's possible ridicule in the future, how could he puff up his chest and reply?
Therefore, in the corner of the palace, Chen Ping, the lieutenant of the guard who had rushed from Chang'an City after receiving the news, always kept a face of shame and indignation, hiding in the shadows, gnashing his teeth from time to time, and cursed silently.

After all, he is positioned as a 'factory owner'...

Now Han Xin can not only shake in front of Liu Bang, but also show off his might in front of Chen Ping!
Hearing the sound of footsteps entering the hall one after another, Liu Bang raised his head slightly and waved his hands:
"All sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Before Fan Kui sat down completely, Liu Ying quickly took away Fan Kui's futon and put it under her body. While sitting more comfortably, Liu Ying took revenge for his previous humiliation...

"mean!"

Fan Kui rolled his eyes, and took advantage of the situation to change from sitting cross-legged to sitting cross-legged. He just looked up at Liu Bang, his body tensed like a spring, ready to jump up at any time to seize the opportunity to lead the army to fight.

And around him, except for Lu Wan who looked sleepless, everyone including Zhou Bo also had the same posture as Fan Kui.

During the Taiping period, military merits were hard to come by. As military officials, they naturally would not let go of any opportunity. As for Lu Wan, an extremely human minister, he has already been sealed, so he looks like a salted fish every day...

After Liu Bang waited for everyone to sit down, he looked around and found no figure of Han Xin, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Now that Yingbu intends to rebel, what should we do?"

Fan Kuai jumped up first: "It is said that Yingbo can fight, but others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid! Since he dares to plot rebellion, I am willing to lead the army to fight, go straight to Lu'an, and capture and kill this Lao!"

Zhang Liang lightly tapped the table with his index finger, and said in a deep thought: "The Marquis of Wuyang is very courageous, but Huainan is a big country after all, with a population of millions and hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. It is better to think of a safe way."

Liu Bang also nodded in agreement, he had been thinking about this all the time when he came back from Yeyi.

The place where the Huainan Kingdom fought the Fourth World War was mostly surrounded by flat rivers, so it could accommodate millions of people for a decisive battle. This was actually what he wanted to see the most, but the crux of the problem was, how would Yingbo fight?
Will he fight a guerrilla with him, just like Liu Jia Luwan did with Xiang Yu back then?

Now that he is the emperor of the Han Empire, all the smashed pots and pans belong to him, and his heart aches...

When the hall fell into silence, Xia Houying stood up and said, "I have a guest named Xue Jian. His ancestor was Ling Yin of Chu State in the past. He is a man of great strategy and wisdom. Your Majesty may as well ask him what to do." Deal with Huainan King." (Note 1)

Liu Bang has always been good at listening to other people's opinions. Since Xia Houying said it, he naturally has nothing to do.

So a moment later, a young man with a square face and a goatee in a khaki dark coat came in and bowed in circles.

Liu Bang waved his hand: "Marquis Ruyin said that you are very resourceful and have some insight into Yingbo's rebellion. You might as well tell me about it."

Xue Jian bowed down again and said humbly: "You Yin Hou's misrepresentation, I really dare not take it seriously. However, it is unwise to know what to say, and it is disloyal to know and not speak. A minister who is disloyal will die, and his words will not be judged." I deserve to die too. Therefore, my Majesty will let you speak in vain, and Your Majesty will listen to you in vain. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Resisting his desire to doze off, Liu Bang nodded and said, "Okay, just say it, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, and you'll be rewarded if you're right!"

The corners of Xue Jian's mouth were slightly raised, and he bowed to Liu Ying and Xia Houying who were sitting next to Liu Bang, and talked freely.

"There is nothing strange about Huainan King's rebellion. If Huainan King adopted the best strategy, then the area east of Xiaoshan would not belong to the Han; If I take the worst policy, I will be safe as a man, and so will Your Majesty!"

In Liu Bang's silence, Liu Ying sniffed and asked, "What is the best policy? Forget it, let's just talk about the worst policy. I know Yingbo, and he usually can't make a correct judgment..."

In an instant, there was laughter everywhere.

But Liu Bang knocked Liu Ying on the head with his hand, and said to Xue Jian with a smile: "The crown prince is joking with you, don't take it seriously. You may wish to tell me what you think."

"Obey." Xue Jian bowed and saluted, and continued:

"The so-called best strategy is naturally to send troops to occupy Wuyue and Chu before our army is assembled, and then go north to conquer Qi and Lu, meet Liang Wang, and issue a call to the county magistrates in Yanzhao, promising to share the world !"

"In this way, the area east of Xiaoshan will no longer be under the control of my Han family!"

Listening, Liu Fei's face showed a trace of anger, and Lu Ze, who was also sitting in the salted fish, looked like Lu Wan, who was in a daze and didn't hear anything.

"The middle strategy is to follow the example of Xiang Liang in the past, annex Wu and Chu, send troops to the Central Plains, seize the grain of Ao Cang for his own use, and block the Han army in Guanzhong within Chenggao. If this is the case, the outcome is unknown."

"As for the worst strategy, it is to capture the land of Wu and Yue, and then send troops to defeat the country that threatens him the most, and plunder the official warehouses of Zhi Su Neishi's mansion near Huainan country, and use the looted food and Jing country's wealth Ship it back to the country, and abandon the land of Huaibei, deploy defenses along the river, separate one side, and call it lonely!"

At first Liu Bang listened to Xue Jian's up and down strategies, with a ritual smile on his face all the time, but when he heard the bad strategies he said, he finally moved a little and felt somewhat insightful.

So he nodded and asked, "In this case, which strategy will Yingbu choose?"

Xue Jian looked at Liu Ying and said with a smile, "As His Highness said, the King of Huainan will choose the worst strategy."

Liu Bang asked again: "Why do you see it?"

Xue Jian replied confidently: "The king of Huainan was originally a prisoner of Lishan. He fought for the state of Chu, the great Han and Xiang Ji, not for the purpose of destroying the tyrant Qin and helping the world, but only for his own glory. Fugui! Therefore, I affirm that he will choose the worst strategy!"

Well, what he didn’t say is that both the upper and middle strategies are aimed at fighting for the world. When Yingbu was in his prime, he didn’t have the ambition to fight for the world.

Liu Bang nodded:
"Very good, very good. What you said is very good, and Marquis Ruyin's recommendation is also very good!"

"Just do it."

"Send an imperial edict ordering the kings of Chu, Jing, and Changsha to lead their own armies and attack Huainan from the east, west, and south, so as to prevent the rebels from crossing the border! In addition, let the governor of Yuzhang, Ying Yinhou Guanying led his troops to the north, and joined forces with Changsha King Wuchen to fight..."

"As for our army..."

It's just that before Liu Bang finished speaking, a voice that had just finished its voice change period, Liu Ying's voice, sounded in the hall.

"I disagree!"

Note 1: "Historical Records · Tattoo Biography": Teng Gong (Xia Houying) said: "The minister and guest of the former Chu Ling Yin Xue Gong, he has a plan, you can ask."...The above said: " Good." Feng Xuegong Qianhu.

"New Book of Tang Volume 73 Table No.13 [-]": The Xue family comes from the surname Ren.The youngest son of Zhuanxu, the Yellow Emperor's grandson, was entrusted to Ren, and the twelfth grandson, Xizhong, was enfeoffed as Xia Chezheng, and Yu was enfeoffed as Marquis of Xue, and his place was Xue County in Lu State... The son ascended the official position and King Huai of Chu was the Duke of Pei. Because the country is the clan, the so-called Xue Gong is also.Yun gave birth to Yun, Yun gave birth to Ang, and Ang gave birth to Ni, which is Chu Lingyin.Ni Shengweng, Weng Shengjian, in the early Han Dynasty offered a plan to destroy the tattoo cloth, and made Qianhuhou.

It can be seen from this that Xia Houying's so-called Xue Gong refers to Xue Jian, the grandson of Chu Lingyin Xue Ni.
