A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 145 Han and Sun’s old grudges, the war ends
February
Two hundred thousand troops of Chu and Zhao were displayed at the border of Taiyuan County and Dai County.

King Chu Han Xin sent an envoy to meet King Bai and handed over a letter from King Chu to King Bai, which said:
"In the past, Sun Yin of your country bullied me for no reason. Today, as a king, I have raised 200,000 troops to collect debts. I hope that King Bai will distinguish right from wrong and hand over the culprit. Otherwise, there is no need to blame me for not thinking of the feelings of the same dynasty and sending troops. Collect the debt in person. Thinking that your noble lord is also a king, I postponed it for thirty days. After thirty days, there was no reply, and the two sides will see the difference in Taiyuan."

In addition to the seal of King Chu, there is also the seal of King Zhao.

The envoy of King Zhao also arrived and explained the reasons why King Zhao helped King Chu. Firstly, it was because Han Xin had an old relationship with his late father Zhang Er, and secondly, because the Bai Kingdom was indeed in the wrong. Killing people to pay for their lives and debts to pay back their money are perfectly justified. I hope King Bai thought carefully.

Chaoge, Bai Guochaotang, Bai Qing listened to the words of the two envoys, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"The two envoys will go down and rest first. I will reply to you later."

"Your Majesty, you must not agree. If your Majesty hands over his ministers just because of a piece of paper from another country, who will trust Bai Guo again? By then, all the talents in the world and even the country's talents will defect to other countries, and Bai Guo will I will be lonely." A minister from the public family came out and said.

Bai Qing looked at Sun Yin who was among the military attaches and found that he had his head lowered and was speechless. He suddenly thought of the Sun Yin family's migration to Taiyuan. Han Xin's attack on Taiyuan was all in Taiyuan. What is the connection between this?

But he never thought about betrayal. After all, the Bai family has been in the family for hundreds of years and has never suffered betrayal. Because the ancestors have the skill of recognizing people, they rarely misjudge a person. In addition, the Sun family has thousands of people. Yin is also the current patriarch, and they are all in the Bai Kingdom. How dare he?
Bai Qing said: "No matter what, I will never use my ministers to please the monarch of another country. The people of the country have chosen me to be the king of a country, so I should treat them as their children. How can I betray my children?" In exchange for my stable parents?"

Sun Yin in the queue listened, his eyes flashing. At this time, Wang Zhang in front of him stepped out and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but even so, I see that King Chu's grace period is only thirty days, so it is better to send the envoy first." Delay in Chaoge in order to gather the army and take measures to defend Taiyuan."

Bai Qing said it was good, and another minister said: "Your Majesty, now that the common leader of the world is the Han Emperor, why not send an envoy to the Han Emperor to ask for resolution while making preparations? If successful, wouldn't it be possible to avoid a big war?"

After Bai Qing thought for a while, he agreed with the opinions of several people, and then ordered: "Send the order, the army will be 200,000, with General Wang Zhang as the commander-in-chief and Lieutenant General Sun Yin as the deputy-general. In addition, the commander-in-chief will be awarded. Li Su Li Chi Jie sent an envoy to the Han Emperor's palace to reverse the incident of Bai Chu."

"I will obey the king's order!"

February 15th

Bai's envoy Su Li went to Licheng in Qidi and met with the Han Emperor. He explained the matter of Bai Chu to the Han Emperor and explained that personal grievances should not be elevated to the grievances between Bai and Chu.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty replied: "I already know what Bai Shi said, but I am the common master of the world, and my intention is to protect the supreme prince of the world and appease the common people of the world. Now the King of Chu is the king of a country. How noble is his status? If If the King of Chu is humiliated, what good will it do to me, other princes and kings, and even King Bai?

So I think it’s better to leave that Sun Yin to the King of Chu. I know that the King of Chu is not a murderous person. At most, he suffered some insults. Being insulted by a king, what does it mean? What do you think? "

Su Li listened to the Han Emperor's remarks, which were simply too ridiculous, but for the sake of the Bai Kingdom, he could only say: "Foreign ministers heard that in ancient times, the human race was created by Nuwa Empress using divine soil and divine water according to the innate gods. This It is enough to prove that the human race is born sacred.

When Nuwa created humans, the human race had its own consciousness. At that time, everyone was noble and equal, and there were no slaves or emperors. Nowadays, there are three, six or nine classes in the world, including princes, nobles, common people, and slaves, but we all know that they are all human beings.

Because they look exactly like us, with black hair, yellow skin, two hands, two feet and one head, so why do princes have to be more noble? And why do common people think they should be honored? The foreign ministers thought that it was not the princes who were honored, but the contributions they made to the world.

Just like the people of the world respect and love Your Majesty, is it because of Your Majesty's status as emperor? The foreign minister thinks this is not the case, because His Majesty has ended more than a hundred years of war, brought a stable life to the people of the world, and given the people of the world a chance to live, so the people of the world are willing to respect you.

As the foreign minister just said, everyone is the same, so it cannot be said that because Han Xin is the king of Chu and Sun Yin does not have a king's title, it means that Sun Yin must accept Han Xin's humiliation willingly.

Any humiliation of others is not deserved. Therefore, although Sun Yin was at fault, his crime is not worthy of death. If your majesty allows it, I hope your majesty can stop King Chu's irrational behavior and leave Sun Yin to be dealt with by Bai Guo himself. The country promised that Sun Yin would get the punishment he deserved.

This will not only show His Majesty's tolerance, but also show His Majesty's majesty, and make everyone in the world know that Your Majesty is a reasonable person. In this way, everyone will be willing to come and serve Your Majesty, right? "

Emperor Han looked at Su Li's talk and couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes. However, in order to get more talents like Su Li, Emperor Han held back and said:
"Of course what you said makes sense, but I can still tell the difference between the request of a prince and the minister of a country. This is the reality."

Su Li still wanted to fight for it, but the Han Emperor stopped him and said, "Okay, you can go back and tell King Bai that there is nothing I can do for you, and I just hope that he can hold on. But I see that you are quite talented, and I wonder if you are willing to join the court." official?"

Seeing that his goal could not be achieved, Su Li felt a little frustrated. He also heard that the Han Emperor wanted to invite him to serve as an official in the Han Dynasty, so he refused and said: "Thank you for your Majesty's attention. However, a loyal man will not serve two masters, and the king will not treat me badly. Please forgive me." I refuse."

Although Emperor Han knew he would be rejected, he still felt a little regretful as the delicious food slipped away from his mouth. He waved his hand to indicate that he could leave. After Su Li saluted, he exited the lobby.

February 19

Su Li returned to Chaoge and told Bai Qing the result. Bai Qing sighed after hearing this: "It seems that we can't avoid a battle!"

At this time, 200,000 White troops were about to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter Taiyuan County.

February 24th
The White Army arrived at Jinyang, the county town of Taiyuan County.

March 1

Seeing that King Bai did not reply, Han Xin learned of his choice and ordered his army to cross the border brazenly. The White army in Jinyang got the news and went to stop him. March 5
The two sides faced off in Yangquan. Originally, the Bai army was the defensive side. Therefore, as soon as Wang Zhang arrived in Yangquan, he set up the turtle formation, dug deep trenches and built high walls. Lianpo's formation came back to the world, which was also instructed by Bai Qing.

Before setting off, Bai Qing said: "Han Xin has always used his troops like a god. Although our army is equal in number, we may not be able to defeat them. So when you arrive in Taiyuan, don't fight them. Just don't defend yourself directly. The Chu army is far away." If you come, you can't bear to be far away from home and stand in a cold place all year round. Therefore, after a year at most, the Chu army will collapse." He also emphasized again and again that he must not be tempted by Han Xin to send troops, and he should be like Xuanwu and remain motionless.

But when Wang Zhang had done everything and arranged the subsequent transportation of grain and grass, he looked at the Chu army on the opposite side and saw that they were also building high camp walls. Wang Zhang was puzzled.

March

When the frontline military report came to Bai Qing, it read: "Our army and the Chu army are still in confrontation, and there are no casualties."

Bai Qing was confused, what medicine was Han Xin selling? Bai Qing would not know that the man behind all this was the common leader of the world, Emperor Han.

March 18

The 200,000 Han troops who originally crossed the river to Dong'a County, Dongjun were ordered to return to Julu.

March 25
Two hundred thousand Han troops successfully returned to their previous military camp in Julu, and the Han Emperor quickly returned to Julu.

March 27
Bai Guo, Chao Ge, Tai White House, Bai Qing is sitting in his seat, preparing to check today's new information.

Bai Qing received a piece of information from the Shadow Guard: "Chief of the Shadow Guard of Julu County: On March 25th, a large group of Han troops stationed in the west of Julu City. The reason is being investigated and a copy of the Chaoge is being circulated."

Suddenly something came to mind and he ordered: "Bring the information from East County nine days ago!"

"Here!"

"Chief of the Shadow Guards of Dongjun: On March 18, 200,000 Han troops arrived in Dong'e County. For some reason, they turned back to where they were going and copied the imperial song."

After reading it, I took the information next to me that was handed over by the shadow guard of the Genealogy Hall three days ago:
"He clan leader: This year there are twenty-five new members of the He clan, five have passed away due to old age, and one son, who is thirteen years old, is quite talented in literature. The clan has decided to consume one of the three quotas and recommend the other to Bai Xue. Attachment: On the 25th, a group of honor guards entered the Zhao palace, suspected of being the emperor's official driver."

Bai Qing kept tapping on several boxes and muttering: "Dong'a, Julu, Emperor Han..."

Then he walked to the map of the world and stared at it carefully. Suddenly he saw a city and exclaimed: "Handan!"

Suddenly he turned around and walked to several cases. He was about to write when he suddenly thought of something again and murmured: "Taiyuan, Han Xin, Sun Yin..." His face changed: "Liu Ji, what a good plan!"

Then he wrote quickly on a piece of cloth, and after finishing writing, he shouted: "Here comes someone!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Send someone to send this letter to Handan and hand it over to the King of Handan. Hurry!"

"Here!"

The messenger stuffed the letter into a bamboo tube, made it waterproof, then slung it cross-body behind his back and tightened it tightly to prevent it from falling off due to bumps on the horse's back. Then he got on the horse that had already been fed with fodder and "driven~" the messenger came from the palace. The door sped out.

Bai Qing stood on the steps of the palace, watching the messenger rush out, and murmured: "I hope it's too late!"

March 28
Handan King Bai Wei had arranged a very grand welcome ceremony and was welcoming important people in the east of the city. In the distance, a gorgeous motorcade gradually arrived. Yes, it was Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Yesterday, a Han envoy came to inform: "His Majesty the Emperor wants to tour Handan, please prepare the King of Handan."

Bai Wei asked: "When will we arrive?"

The Han envoy said: "Your Majesty has set out from Julu today and will arrive tomorrow."

Although Bai Wei was a little confused as to why the emperor, who was originally visiting Qidi, suddenly wanted to go to Handan, but since the emperor had notified him in advance and did not bring many troops, he was not afraid.

But I still have to write a letter to tell my elder brother, and then everyone will send a letter. It is just a secret letter channel, and the messenger is not in a hurry, because it is a letter written by the King of Handan to the King of Bai, so confidentiality is more important than speed. I guess the two Can be delivered at a later date.
