Destiny Only Han

Chapter 617 Han Xin: Don't Come Over!

"what?"

"The prince is crazy, it must be like this!"

After a while of whispering and Liu Bang's astonishment, Liu Ying stood up slowly, cleared her throat and said:

"The lion is trying its best to fight the rabbit... Well, a lion is a kind of beast. A lioness looks like a tiger with no pattern. Let me ask you to catch two and bring them back for you to see."

"Yingbu is not to be underestimated. When he was under Xiang Ji's command, he was the number one brave general. He always fought first in every battle. He fought with Pu Gu, who was killed by Xiang Ji, with a spear and a shield. He was also called Shuangbi!"

"Although the king of Jing is good at fighting, after all, the land of Jing country is remote, there is a lot of water in the territory, the population is not large, and the number of troops is far inferior to that of Huainan country..."

"As for King Chu and King Changsha, well, even though Uncle Liu Jiao followed his father into Guanzhong and destroyed Tyrant Qin, he has never had the experience of leading an army alone, let alone Wu Chen, who is not as good at leading troops in battle as Where is my sister..."

"If they are allowed to lead their own troops to fight rashly, not to mention that they cannot communicate effectively with each other and support each other, and it will definitely give Yingbo a chance to defeat each other!"

Listening to Liu Ying's words, although Liu Bang's face darkened, it was undeniable that what Liu Ying said was somewhat reasonable.

Liu Jia was able to fight, but the soldiers of Jing State could not. After all, the Yunmeng Daze was vast and boundless at this time, and many of the farmlands of later generations were still soaking in the water. Most people in the country made a living from the sideline business of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry. Naturally, they could not beat the farmland next door native farmers.

In history, after Yingbo's rebellion, Liu Jia's Jing Kingdom was the first to attack. Liu Jia was defeated and fled and died in Fuling. All the wealth and army of Jing Kingdom belonged to Yingbo!
Then there was the state of Chu. The soldiers of the state of Chu fought against each other in three groups, and then there was no more. After Liu Jiaozhan was defeated, he ran all the way to Xue County, which is Shandong.

The situation in the world was so corrupt that Liu Bang had no choice but to launch a comprehensive call-up order. Not only the troops of the princes were mobilized, but even the prisoners in the prison cells were all incorporated into the army.

In this way, Yingbo was finally defeated.

It was also in this battle that Liu Bang, in order to boost morale, took the lead, was hit by Liu Shi, and then called a curtain call.

So when Liu Ying heard that the old man despised Yingbo, she was going to fight again with the tactics that had been proven and failed in history, so she had to stop this tragedy from happening!

Liu Bang pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Zhang Liang, then looked at Liu Ying and asked, "Then what is your highness the crown prince's opinion, why don't you tell Nai Gong?"

Liu Ying put her hands on her waist:

"First of all, send someone to bring back Han Xin, who is traveling in mountains and rivers. After all, he is the one who reported Yingbo, so naturally he will clean up the mess!"

"Secondly, let Jing, Chu, and Changsha recruit men to join the army, but not to attack Huainan, but to defend themselves from the city, fortify the walls and clear the country. When necessary, they can lose land and save people, and retreat the main force to avoid large-scale battles with Yingbu. Everything is waiting for us to lead the army to arrive before fighting Yingbu!"

"Finally, gather the armies of Liang, Lu, and Qi, and bring together the elites drawn from Guanzhong, a total of 20. It is said that a million will go south to destroy Yingbu!"

"The crown prince has finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes?"

After Liu Ying finished speaking, her eyes faltered, she stared in all directions, her arrogance leaked, until he was hit by a throwing cushion.

"Ouch! Dad, why did you hit me?"

"Why, don't you accept it? Tell you, it's only right for me to beat my son! Besides, why do you want to find Han Xin again? If he is dead butcher Han, we will all have to eat pigs with hair? Could it be that I am a big man and no one else?"

After Liu Bang finished speaking, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo immediately acted indignantly, his face was full of insults, and he would never forgive your expression unless you let them play the vanguard!
Liu Ying picked up the mat and threw it aside, said with a smile:

"That's not what you said. Daddy, why do we fight to the death and exhaust ourselves, and he, Han Xin, can enjoy traveling around mountains and rivers with his wife in his arms? It's not fair!"

"So, let him come over to command Qianjun, or let him come over as a staff officer, do some dirty work, and serve us in a better mood, and reward him with three melons and two dates to make him happy..."

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "What the crown prince said is very true. It is the so-called "eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries. Since the Marquis of Huaiyin is a subject of my big man, he will naturally do his part for my big man..."

Liu Bang was silent for a while, then said: "That's fine, let him come here just to do odd jobs, and I will be the commander in this battle!"

Liu Ying answered immediately: "That's for sure! I'm the deputy commander!"

Fan Kuai also came over: "I am the vanguard..."

Zhou Bo said concisely: "No, I am the pioneer..."

Then, they grabbed each other's collar and wrestled together...

Liu Ying walked around the two muscular brothers with a look of disgust, and wanted to walk out of the hall, but suddenly saw Cao Shen who was huddled in a corner with a look of "I can't see me, I can't see me", So he turned his head and yelled at Liu Fei: "Brother, I will use your Xiangguo!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Fei's consent, he dragged Cao Shen, who looked unwilling, to the outside of the hall.

He is going to capture Han Xin, and the trivial matters such as dispatching troops and raising food and grass need to be handed over to others. Cao Shen, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, is naturally the best candidate.

Perhaps, this is the day's choice to hit the workers.

Well, Liu Ying is heaven.

But when he was about to walk out of the palace gate, Liu Bang called him back again.

"I forgot to ask just now, why did you say that you should lose land and save people, and don't fight Yingbo? Isn't this taking the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige? Yingbo is not so terrible!"

Liu Ying leaned over and said, "Father, have you forgotten what was written on Han Xin's note? Yingbu imitated artillery and explosives! I can't say whether he made the artillery, but he must have explosives!"

"Dad, you don't know the power of explosives. No matter how strong the city wall is in front of explosives, it is almost like paper! So there is no need to waste precious manpower on defending the city!"

Well, if the Han State had a population of hundreds of millions at this time, it would be very cost-effective to use manpower to consume the enemy's war resources, but the total population of the Han State today is only tens of millions, so manpower, or human mine It is extraordinarily precious.

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

Huainan country, six counties, royal palace.

Although the guards sent out to hunt down the adulterer have not yet returned, the spies sent by Yingbu to the neighboring states of Chu and Jing have returned, saying that they have not seen any signs of troop mobilization, only that they have seen a large amount of food being loaded into vehicles transport.

However, these grains are not transported to the border area with Huainan State, but are transported in the direction of Guanzhong.

So, Yingbu let go of his hanging heart.

He is very familiar with this method of transshipment of grain, not only in the neighboring countries of Jing and Chu, but also in the Huainan country under his control, twice a year, basically before the harvest of the current season's grain.

Although the granary was established in the vassal state, it is not actually under the jurisdiction of these kings with different surnames. The person who manages the granary is actually Zhisu Neishi, one of the nine ministers.

In other words, these granaries belonged to the Hanting Central Committee and were the treasury.

In recent years, after the central government of the Han Dynasty became rich, it specially set up an institution to stabilize grain prices, and to prevent cheap grain from hurting farmers.

When the harvest of grain in a good year is three or five buckets more, and the farmers sell the grain and are maliciously bargained down by the grain merchants, the official warehouse will buy unlimited grain from the farmers according to the guide price that is almost the same as that in the default year.

Anyway, in today's Guanzhong Plain, the total population of dozens of counties surrounding Chang'an City has already reached tens of millions, and no amount of food is enough to eat.

Therefore, in order to allow farmers to grow grain with peace of mind, and to allow the breeding population, mainly those low-income groups to eat, there are hundreds of official warehouses set up by the Zhisu Neishifu all over the world.

During the harvest season, a large amount of grain is purchased according to the guide price, and then the stored grain is transferred to Guanzhong one after another. Before the second crop of grain matures, all the grain in stock is transferred away at one time and pulled to state-owned grain stores in various places in Guanzhong for sale.

Well, because it is purchased at the lowest price and sold at the lowest price, the quality of the food is naturally not as good as those private food shops, and most of the time there is even no service.

After all, store owners and shop assistants who sell food are similar to civil servants, or salesmen in the planned economy era, with dead wages. They don’t get a commission if they sell more food, and they don’t lose if they sell less food. dead face...

However, Liu Ying asked people to rectify a lot, for example, they specially posted a slogan 'No beating and scolding customers' at the door...

Well, transporting all the grain away before the grain harvest season is not only to free up the grain depot, but more importantly, to prevent "rats" from burning the warehouse!

After all, the running water does not rot, the door hinges do not moth, and the grain depot is cleaned twice a year, so the rats dare not go too far.

So Yingbo heard the news of cleaning up the grain in stock, and suddenly felt that his previous judgment was somewhat reasonable.

Liu Bang should simply come to Jianghuai to play, not to capture himself!
After all, Liu Bang has not returned to his hometown since he became the emperor. He also went to the north for several daily tours. Only the landmarks left by the first emperor in the north were checked in. Activities such as offering sacrifices to Dayu and Kuaiji Mountain in the south when the first emperor went to the south were not reproduced. .

The most important thing is that the soldiers and horses went first before the food and grass were moved. Now that the food has been transferred, if there is a real war, what will the soldiers eat?
Ying Bu poured himself half a glass of wine with a beaming face, and imitated the way Liu Ying taught him, shaking the glass slowly, sniffing the aroma of the wine.

In fact, he didn't really like to drink this kind of low-alcohol wine, but there was nothing he could do. Ever since he drank with Liu Bang in Guanzhong until he vomited blood, he couldn't drink those spirits anymore.

However, Yingbo is now slowly accepting this girly way of drinking, and gently takes out half a walnut from a jade plate beside him and throws it into his mouth, chewing and drinking the wine.

The fragrance of the nuts and the dryness of the fine wine complement each other.

To be precise, it smells like money. After all, the walnuts he eats are imported from the Western Regions, almost as heavy as gold...
