Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 267 Corporal Li Xian
Changle Camp, Lutai Xingyuan.

Liu Bang entered the table, and said: "Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, Liu Bi!"

Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, and Liu Bi, who were standing on the left and right, stepped out and stood at the bottom of the steps.

Liu Bang waved his hand again, and Suihe Suihe stepped forward two steps to stand in front of Liu Bang's case, and then announced loudly: "The decree: Promote Changle Captain Lu Tai as Hussar General, Zhou Guanfu and Liu Bi as lieutenants, command Longxi, The Changle Camp has [-] fine riders, and they will conquer Hexi recently to fight against the Xiongnu and calm the frontiers.”

"Here!" Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, and Liu Bi suddenly agreed, all of them looked excited.

Ever since Changle Battalion was formed into an army, Lu Tai had long been looking forward to a good battle. It is said that a farmer is a farmer, no matter how much he trains, he is still a farmer. Only after undergoing the bloody baptism of war can he truly grow into an elite soldier. Lu Tai didn't want him to be just a group of well-trained farmers, what he wanted was a team of iron-blooded cavalry who had experienced many battles.

As for whether the opponent is the Huns or the Yuezhi people, Lu Tai doesn't care, because in Lu Tai's eyes, only Xiangzhuang's Chu cavalry, others are not worth mentioning. As for Zhou Guanfu and Liu Bi, they are two As a militant, they usually want to make some noise when there is no war. Now that they hear that there is a war to be fought, and it will be fought against the Huns, let alone the excitement.

When Lu Tai came forward, Liu Bang took out the tiger talisman from the brocade box on the case, handed it to Lu Tai and said, "Generally, this is the tiger talisman for dispatching troops from the Longxi camp. I will give it to the only [-] cavalry widows in the Han Dynasty." You, in this battle with the Huns, you must show the prestige of our big Han cavalry, and you must not let the widows down."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Lu Tai took the Tiger Talisman, and responded abruptly, "I will definitely not disgrace my life!"

Liu Bang turned his head to look at Liu Bi who was behind Lv Tai again, and said in a deep voice, "Bi'er, it's better to follow the widow when you are under the general Hussar's tent, you must obey the command of the Hussar General, if you dare to disobey orders on the battlefield, Even if you are the widow's nephew, it won't save you, do you hear me clearly?"

"Nephew understands." Liu Bi said loudly, "Nephew will definitely look up to General Hussars!"

Liu Bang nodded happily, and left the Changle camp surrounded by Sui He and dozens of generals.

Lu Tai, Zhou Guanfu, and Liu Bi sent Liu Bang to the outside of the gate until Liu Bang and the accompanying cavalry guards disappeared, and then Lu Tai turned around and handed the tiger talisman to Zhou Guanfu, saying: "Shengzhi, you immediately take the tiger talisman to the Longxi camp. Once the soldiers and horses are dispatched, we will go north immediately, and we will meet up in Wuzhi County in the north."

"Here!" Zhou Guanfu suddenly agreed, took the tiger talisman and took the order.

Watching Zhou Guanfu get on his horse and go away, Lu Tai shouted loudly again: "Blow the horn, the whole army muster!"

Suddenly, deep and distant horns sounded in the Changle camp. Amidst the continuous sound of the horns, teams of Han soldiers in full outfits surged out of the tents, and rushed towards the stables like a tide. Soon there was the sound of horses neighing one after another in the camp, and in less than a quarter of an hour, teams of cavalry had already rushed to the field of the colonel.

On the field of the university, a large red banner was fluttering in the wind. The upper left corner of the flag was embroidered with golden silk thread in four small seal characters of "Big Han Hussars", and in the middle was embroidered with a big "Lv" with black silk thread. Words, Lu Tai's white robe and white armor, with a goose crown on his head, had already straddled his horse and stood under the banner.

In Xianyang City, the flow of people is like weaving.

Amidst the rapid sound of horseshoes, more than ten riders galloped from the street. Wasn't the first rider the Han King Liu Bang who had just returned from the Changle camp in the western suburbs?Pawns and passers-by on the street ran away one after another when they saw this, within a short time, dozens of horsemen rushed to the gate of a post house, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping, who had been guarding outside the gate for a long time, rushed down the steps.

Liu Bang got off his horse and said loudly, "President Guo, is that scholar you mentioned staying here?"

Xiao He stepped forward and bowed to Liu Bang, saying: "Report to Your Majesty, Bai Mo, a scholar from the East of the Guandong, is staying here."

"Let's go." Liu Bang flicked his sleeves and went first, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping hurriedly followed, but Ye Zhe Sui He and the dozens of generals who accompanied him all stayed outside the gate. This is Xianyang after all. Before going up, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping had already secretly checked the entire post house to make sure that there was no danger inside.

Liu Bang and the others entered the backyard of the post house, only to find that the upper room where Bai Mo lived was closed.

Xiao He was about to knock on the door, but Liu Bang gently stopped him, Liu Bang said: "Look at this time, this Mr. Bai may have just fallen asleep, let him sleep for a while, don't wake him up."

Chen Ping said: "Your Majesty, let's wait in the front yard."

Liu Bang waved his hand and said, "No need, just wait here."

After all, Liu Bang stood under the eaves of Bai Mo's upper room. Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping had no choice but to follow Liu Bang to stand under the eaves. The wait lasted for more than half an hour!Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping already had a hint of impatience on their faces, but Liu Bang had a calm expression on his face, as if he was quite meaningless.

About half an hour later, the sky suddenly became dark and cloudy, and then it rained cats and dogs. From time to time, there was a gust of wind wrapped in a torrential rain and poured into the eaves of the corridor, and Liu Bang and the others soon got wet all over.

Xiao He frowned, and wanted to knock on the door again, but Liu Bang stopped him.

While Zhang Liang and Chen Ping smiled wryly, they were also a little moved. The King of Han could respectfully wait for a little-known Kwantung scholar like this. Even King Wen of Zhou is no more than this, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but glanced at the slightly opened window in front of him, if this Bai Mo didn't show up again, he would really be a man of arrogance and arrogance.

If Bai Mo is really such a crazy student, even if he has talents, they are probably limited.

As Zhang Liang thought about it, the door of the upper room was pushed open gently from the inside, and a "sleepy-eyed" white-clothed scholar walked out of the door, and saw Liu Bang and the other four standing under the eaves outside the door , I was "frozen" for a while, and then asked Xiao He, "Xiao Guoxiang, who are you... and who are these?"

Xiao He didn't answer, just snorted lightly.

But Liu Bang wiped the water from his face, clasped his fists and bowed to the scholar in white, and said, "This must be Mr. Baimobai, a traveling scholar from Kanto, right? I'm going to Liu Bang..."

"It turned out to be the King of Han in person!" The white-clothed scholar hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

At that moment, Bai Mo let Liu Bang, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping into the room, and invited Liu Bang to sit at the table, while Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping sat down with him, and Liu Bang introduced Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to Bai Mo, Bai Mo quickly got up, bowed and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Zhang and Chen who have admired their names for a long time."

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping also got up to return their salutes one after another, and then took their seats again.

Liu Bang pondered for a moment, then said with concern: "I heard from the Minister of State that Mr. has two strategies of 'Jun Yao's service and equal calculation of Fu', which can solve the predicament of lack of money and food in Guanzhong. Is this true?"

"Really." Bai Mo nodded and said, "It's just that the second strategy is easy to say, but difficult to implement."

After all, without waiting for Liu Bang to ask questions, Bai Mo took the initiative to tell Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping about the benefits and disadvantages of Junyao's service and Ping Shuan Fu. The power is far from comparable to that of the Kanto countries, because after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he forcibly moved the world's wealthy families into the Guanzhong.

Both Zhang Liang and Chen Ping agreed deeply. It is really not easy to equal Yao's service and calculate Fu!

Liu Bang frowned deeply. There are many aristocratic families in Guanzhong, and there are countless gentry families. If it weren't for the three chapters of the agreement to please most of the aristocratic families and gentry in Guanzhong, Liu Bang would not be able to quickly pacify Guanzhong. Later, Xiang Yu's army After leaving Guanzhong, it is impossible for him to counterattack Guanzhong so quickly.

Liu Bangneng's status today is inseparable from the strong support of the Guanzhong family and gentry.

However, if the reform is carried out, if the Yaoyao service is adopted and the tax is calculated equally, it will offend the aristocratic family and the gentry in Guanzhong to the death. Liu Bang doesn't care much about being scolded for being ungrateful and poking the backbone. The problem is that once the aristocratic family and the gentry in Guanzhong join forces to fight back , the Han Dynasty will fall into a dangerous situation of turmoil when it is established.

This is really a dilemma. Change may cause turmoil in the whole country. If there is no change, the Han Kingdom is likely to be left behind by the Kanto countries, especially the Chu State. Now, the reform of the Chu State is in full swing, and the Qi State Guo, Liang Guo, Zhao Guo and Yan Guo are not idle, they are all determined to change there.

Bai Mo said again: "My lord, although change is difficult, it is not without hope."

"Oh?" Liu Bang was slightly moved, and said eagerly, "Please teach me, sir."

Bai Mo said: "Dare to ask your majesty, how does the great Han compare to the weak Qin when Xiangong was presented?"

Liu Bangdao: "Although a widow is not as good as Xiangong, the great Han is much stronger than the Qin State when Xiangong was presented. Qin was the weakest of the seven kingdoms at the time of Xiangong, but the Dahan is the most powerful vassal state in the world today."

"Of course." Bai Mo nodded happily, and said, "Qin was the weakest of the seven kingdoms when Xiangong was presented, and there was a strong Wei on the sidelines, yet he dared to make changes and succeeded in the end. Today, the Great Han is the strongest prince in the world. , and there isn't any powerful enemy country watching over you, what is there to worry about, Your Majesty?"

After a pause, Bai Mo said again: "As long as Your Majesty makes up his mind and gives enough trust to the reform ministers, it's actually not difficult to do the same for Yao and calculate the endowment!"

Liu Bang nodded, and said solemnly: "If I am determined to change the law, would you like to stay?"

Hearing the words, Bai Mo got up, first bowed deeply to Liu Bang, and then said: "The king is virtuous, although the ancient King Wen and Qin Zhixian are not as good as him, but I don't have the talents of the prince and Wei Yang. Thanks to the great man for such a courtesy, dare you not kill yourself? report?"

"Good!" Liu Bang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "From now on, sir is the left chancellor of our Great Han Kingdom, and he is fully responsible for the reform!" After finishing speaking, Liu Bang took off his sword and handed it to Bai Mo himself, revealing his murderous intent, "The widow Wang Jian is here. If anyone dares to obstruct the reform, no matter who he is, the left minister can kill first and then play."
