I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 331 The frightened Liu Bi

The emerald green spots on the tips of the branches are dyed with bright yellow.

Butterflies fluttered in the courtyard, their wings reflecting dazzling colors.

Liu Bi took a deep breath of fresh air and said drunkenly: "Zihua, it's really sunny after the rain."

Looking at his intoxicated father, Liu Zihua naturally knew the reason.

He quickly answered: "My son also heard about General Tian's great victory, and it was indeed very satisfying.

Unexpectedly, there were nearly ten thousand thieves hiding behind us, but fortunately they have been eliminated now. "

At that time, three generals in succession led nearly ten thousand troops and returned in disastrous defeat. Many rumors said that the main force of the Han army had come over and they had been surrounded by the imperial court.

Therefore, there was a big shock in the Jing army.

Liu Bi ordered the killing of many people who spread rumors and caused trouble, so that the farce was suppressed and the morale of the army was barely stabilized.

Asking Tian Lubo to lead [-] elites out this time is enough to show how seriously his father takes this matter.

Therefore, it is normal for my father to be so happy about this great victory.

Seeing how alert his son was, Liu Bi nodded happily and said, "Yes. Lu Bo's victory is particularly crucial.

I dare to conclude that these thieves behind us are not the subordinates of the Lujiang Prefect. After all, he really has such elite troops, so it may not be that easy for us to break through Shu City. "

"Father's inference is good." Liu Zihua followed the meaning and continued.

Regardless of the fact that what my father said makes some sense, when a person is in a complacent mood, the last thing he can tolerate is rebuttal.

Liu Bi really laughed heartily.

Then, he looked at his son with satisfaction and said, "Your father once worked under General Han, so I know a little bit about military strategy.

By the way, do you know "The Art of War of Huaiyin" written specifically for Marquis Yangxia by General Han?

That's a good thing. I hurriedly browsed through the two small volumes in General Han's tent and benefited a lot.

Therefore, I will tell you today why Lu Bo was asked to lead a heavy army to encircle and suppress those thieves. "

Now in an extremely happy mood, Liu Bi said whatever he was thinking about.

Moreover, his "desire to share" is particularly prominent in discussions about the war. He is very similar to later generations of netizens who discuss politics without pictures, and middle-aged men who talk loudly in teahouses and restaurants.

"I'm all ears to my father's advice." Liu Zihua said flatteringly.

In fact, he had quite mixed feelings about the emperor of Chang'an.

If Liu Qi didn't have the chessboard to smash his brother to death, how could it be his turn to sit on the throne of prince.

Liu Xian far surpassed himself in terms of talent and training.

There are often people in Jing Kingdom who secretly say that they were picked to become the crown prince. When Liu Zihua found out, he was furious on the outside, but he knew in his heart that this was the truth.

With this luck, he was thinking about how to keep this hard-won luck.

Making my father happy is of course an important part of it.

Liu Bi rubbed his chin and said meaningfully: "As I said at the beginning, this group of thieves are not the local army of Lujiang County. From this alone, you can see that they are not simple.

According to what Huaiyin Hou said in his military book, before marching, one must ensure the stability of one's rear, so as not to fall into a dangerous situation of being flanked by two sides.

And this group of thieves is about to sneak into the territory of Yuzhang County. If they are allowed to cause trouble behind, it will not be a scabies disease, but a problem for everyone!
The incident of robbing the grain road has caused considerable losses to our army. If they are not completely killed, these thieves will definitely have bigger plans next.

Of course, Father, I was careless before and trusted those losers, but I adjusted quickly and asked Lu Bo to eliminate those thieves as soon as possible. "

After that, he gently twirled the few remaining beards with his fingers.

Obviously, Liu Bi felt that he "knows his mistakes and can correct them", and he can also quote scriptures, which shows that he has the demeanor of a general.

"What my father said is absolutely true." As a qualified flatterer, Liu Zihua hurriedly continued to flatter him.

Liu Bi shook his head intoxicatedly.

He continued with a hint of pride: "Zihua, my father told you that when doing big things, you have to be calm and calm when encountering anything, so that you won't make mistakes in panic and lead to bad things.

You are not young anymore. At this age, I have already governed Jing Kingdom for 14 years. Therefore, it will always be beneficial for you to study more. "

"My father is right, I will try my best to catch up with you." Liu Zihua said respectfully.

Liu Bi nodded slightly and sighed silently.

Among his sons, the eldest son Liu Xian was the most suitable to inherit the throne, but it was a pity that he died tragically at the hands of Liu Qi.

To be honest, the remaining heirs all have their own shortcomings, including being frivolous, irritable, and talentless... In comparison, the second son Liu Zihua actually stands out.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why Liu Bi raised an army.

There is no suitable heir in Jing Kingdom.

If any of his sons were outstanding, Liu Bi would have to swallow Liu Qi's aggressive attitude and bow his head to create a good political environment for future generations.

But Liu Bi was not satisfied with his remaining sons, including Liu Zihua.

Therefore, in these years, Liu Bi saw his ineffective sons and knew that as long as he passed away, they might not be able to survive three attacks at Liu Qi's hands, and the entire Jing Kingdom would fall apart.

Without thinking about the future, Liu Bi naturally missed the kindness of his late prince Liu Xian, and the only thing on his mind was revenge.

Therefore, he has been planning to raise troops, and finally broke out completely less than two years after Liu Qi took the throne.

It is really hard to believe that Liu Bi did this because he wanted to take control of Chang'an and ascend to the position of emperor.

After all, the princes and kings are close to the peak of glory and wealth, and he is over sixty years old. Even if he ascends to the throne of emperor, how many years can he sit on it?
"If Zihua has any questions on weekdays, you can come and ask your father." Liu Bi narrowed his eyes and said.

He still did not give up his dream of leading his army into Chang'an.

If one day it is impossible for Liu Xian to be resurrected, then it is still very necessary to teach a qualified heir among the remaining sons.

Hearing this, Liu Zihua thought for a while and immediately said: "As my father saw, where did the group of traitors who were just wiped out come from?"

After all, these thieves defeated all the previous waves of encirclement and suppression of Jing's army, which was not something they could do casually.

If the Jing army was really weak, Jiangxia and Yuzhang counties would not have fallen so quickly.

Liu Bi pondered for a moment and said: "I can't say exactly what the identities of these thieves are, but they emerged from Yuzhang County. It is probably because the Han army we defeated before was integrated."

The intelligence system of the Jing Army is almost zero, if not completely non-existent.

Liu Bi, as a prince before, was able to control a fiefdom with a radius of thousands of miles and was familiar with most matters in the south, which was already considered very good.But if he wanted to understand every aspect of the big man, he was too ambitious and weak to start.

Not to mention that after he raised his troops to rebel, the methods he originally used to gather intelligence basically no longer worked.

For things outside the Jing Kingdom, he basically had a dark eye. Even in the newly occupied counties, he didn't understand a lot.

Therefore, Liu Bi had no idea where the tens of thousands of thieves came from and who led them.

Seeing that he had brought up an embarrassing topic, Liu Zihua was about to make amends when he saw a personal guard standing at the door of the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, General Tian has sent us important military information." The guard bowed and saluted.

Liu Zihua suddenly had an idea and said: "Father, this is the result of General Tian's investigation. You are so eloquent. If you want to know something, the answer will appear directly by itself."

He knew the situation of this war.

Under the charge of cavalry and horse-drawn soldiers, only a few thieves who escaped in advance escaped with their lives, and the rest were basically surrounded and killed.

Those thieves fought to the end, so they captured very few prisoners, less than [-], and most of them were wounded soldiers.

But three hundred prisoners are enough.

My father ordered Tian Lubo to torture those people and get information about the thieves, so as to solve the previous doubts.

After all, after being harassed by a group of unknown people for nearly two months, who wouldn't feel angry?

Now that he had the opportunity to learn the true information about the other party, if it were Liu Zihua, he would not let this opportunity go.

"Hahaha, Zihua is right." Liu Bi laughed loudly, and then said to the courtyard gate, "Come in and report the matter."

The guard took a letter and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is the important information sent by General Tian."

"Zihua, please read it." Liu Bi handed it to Liu Zihua who was standing aside. He cried bitterly after learning about the death of his eldest son four years ago. Later, when there were any documents that needed to be read, he often asked others to read them for him. If something is very important, take a closer look at it.

"Wei." Liu Zihua responded with a happy face.

My father asked me to read the documents sent by General Tian on behalf of him. This was because he trusted himself.

You must know that the ones he came into contact with before were all ordinary documents sent by ordinary ministers.

In comparison, there is a qualitative change now.

With a smile on his face, Liu Zihua slowly unfolded the letter in his hand, preparing to read out the information recorded on it with the fullest enthusiasm.

After a while.

"Zihua, why don't you say anything?" Liu Bi turned his head in confusion. He was waiting to hear what he heard, but to his surprise, there was no sound from his son.

"Ah, ah, father..." Liu Zihua's voice trembled faster than the branches under the strong wind.

Liu Bi frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Speak well and read Lu Bo's letter."

"Okay." Liu Zihua took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, in this battle, all the enemies have been wiped out, and the remaining ones have been wiped out. After interrogating the prisoners, I learned that the enemy army was composed of the Marquis of Yangxia and the Marquis of Ruyin. Recruit from the countryside and lead them here."

"What, what?" Liu Bi, who was originally looking solemn, suddenly stuttered, "Marquis of Yangxia? Marquis of Yangxia Chen Jiangning? If I remember correctly, isn't he over 70 years old this year? Can he lead the army in person? It should be the son of Marquis Yang Xia. Did Tian Lubo make a mistake in his torture? Go and summon him."

He asked several questions in a row, spoke very fast, and looked slightly anxious.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Zihua had never seen such a panicked father before, and he quickly stood up and agreed.

He thought that just now his father was teaching him that he should be calm in the face of everything. Panic will lead to mistakes. But why do you look so panicked now?
Of course, Liu Zihua only dared to mutter a few words in his heart, but did not dare to say these words in front of his father.

Hurrying through the porch, he shouted to his guards to prepare their horses, and rushed straight to the military camp outside the city.

Left alone in the courtyard, Liu Bi paced sadly, praying that Tian Lubo had mistaken the situation.

"Marquis Yang Xia, Marquis Yang Xia, it's not like that..."

Liu Bi didn't care about the Marquis Ruyin recorded in the intelligence.

The world is full of Chehous, so I single out one of them. His influence is limited to the counties. He raises his own army to rebel. He is originally an enemy of these Chehous who have been favored by the Liu family. He doesn't care about killing a Ru. Yinhou.

What's more, a second-generation Chehou is nothing in his own eyes. There are more than one or two second-generation Chehous who have been secretly killed by him in Jing Kingdom over the years.

Keyang Xiahou...

The sun was shining brightly and it was extremely warm on his body, but Liu Bi felt an unstoppable chill rising on his back.

Even if he rebels, he knows that certain restricted areas cannot be touched.

Chu State, Huaiyin, Yangxia.

These three places are at the top of my list because their generation is still alive.

Liu Bi could not afford to offend these fierce men during the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Even if he succeeds in his rebellion in the future, he still has to ensure the power of these families.

While he was feeling restless, he heard the footsteps of Liu Zihua bringing someone back from the door.

"Father, I have invited General Tian here."

"Meet your majesty."

"Yes." Liu Bi nodded slightly and suppressed the annoyance in his heart. He looked slightly worried and said, "Uncle Lu, the information you reviewed is correct, right?"

"This report to your Majesty will be absolutely error-free," Tian Lubo assured.

This determined tone made Liu Bi feel even darker.

He pursed his lips and asked with the last hope: "Then Marquis Yangxia, are you sure the prisoners didn't make a mistake and mistakenly thought that the son of Marquis Yangxia was Marquis Yangxia? I heard that most of Yangxia's affairs were left to his son. , it is normal for ordinary soldiers to have fallacies in their cognition."

Yang Xiahou was much older than him. He lived in seclusion and rarely dealt with worldly affairs.

According to common sense, how could he lead his army to interfere in the war?

Tian Lubo denied this statement, "Your Majesty, the prisoners described the appearance of the leader. They said he was in his seventies and often patrolled among them. He should be the current Marquis of Yangxia."

boom!
Liu Bi felt like a thunderbolt from the clear sky was exploding in his ears, and his face turned gloomy instantly.

He is really the Marquis of Yangxia.

What evil did I do!
"It's over, it's over." He muttered desperately.
