Chapter 366: Ascend the throne (IV)

Xiao He felt a little sudden about Liu Kan's decision to fight in the beginning of spring.

After resting for half a year, the policy of the decisive battle after the fall of the next year will be decided from the beginning. If a sudden change is made, various problems will definitely arise. This involves a series of things such as military recruitment and raising food and grass, which is by no means an easy task.

But the reason why Xiao He is Xiao He will never stand up and oppose it recklessly.

On the contrary, after returning home, he stayed up all night and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the advantages of Guanzhong in all aspects and concluded that it was not impossible to fight.

Of course, if this battle fails, the Guanzhong General's vitality will be severely damaged and will not be recovered for ten years.

In other words, the decisive battle in the spring requires the power of the whole country.

Fortunately, even if it fails, the Tang State can still be the foundation of Guanzhong and block Chu State. However, in Hebei, I am afraid that it will be abandoned. However, if it wins, the Tang State will reappear in the situation where the Qin Dynasty swept across Guandong and unify the world, which is worth a try.

Xiao He is a cautious person and knows that this matter is of great importance.

After making the judgment, he was not in a hurry to report to Liu Kan, but expanded the scope and analyzed it.

He even invited some old Qin ministers to discuss related matters. Three days later, Xiao He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and made a decision.

"It's okay for the king to launch an offensive in advance."

Xiao He said to Liu Kan: "Northern Xinjiang war has now stabilized, so it can be concluded as soon as possible and generals Shujian were stationed in Dongwusun.

But one thing is that it takes a surprise to launch an offensive in advance.

Once the action is taken, it is necessary to resolve the war in Heluo within ten months. Only in this way can the people of Guanzhong feel at ease.

The Battle of Heluo cannot be delayed for too long. It will change and will be detrimental to the people's hearts."

Liu Kan nodded with a smile and expressed his agreement with Xiao He's opinion.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Prince Qin has guarded the tomb for Mr. Gongshu for a long time, and has fulfilled the friendship between teachers and students.

After the spring, he will arrive in Xianyang... I will arrange for him to experience it with the Prime Minister. I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks about this arrangement?"

Liu Qin entered Xianyang?

This also shows Liu Kan's attitude.

From the perspective of words, Liu Kan was asking Xiao He for advice, but in fact, Liu Kan was asking: Is the time for him to enter Xianyang Palace?

For those who are superior, they should not speak too explicitly.

As the prime minister, Xiao He needs to understand the master's thoughts even more.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Kan said something, Xiao He understood what Liu Kan meant.

"Brother Li Ying must have arrived in Hanzhong now."

Xiao He replied: "By my guess, news will come in the next two days. I have ordered people to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac, which will lead to great events."

What is a big deal? Become the noble of the Nine Five!

Liu Kan nodded, then smiled and said, "Yesterday, my mother discussed with me and asked me to get married to Man'er as soon as possible.

I thought for a long time that it is better to get married early but not late. It is best to buy it together. Otherwise, it will be too luxurious to waste the people and cause money to mobilize many troops. I have ordered people to start resting in Xingle Palace. However, Xingle Palace was burned by Qin II in the past, and this name is a bit unlucky, so I want to rename it to Anle Palace to respond to the meaning of "born in distress and dying in happiness". There is no need to build a large amount of construction, just a small rest."

Liu Kan's meaning is very clear.

Ascending the throne, a wedding, and organizing two wedding events together can reduce a lot of trouble.

To some extent, discussing these things with Xiao He also means being close. This is Liu Kan’s own affairs, and saying these things to Xiao He is like Xiao He expressing an attitude: You are my confidant, otherwise I wouldn’t have to talk about these things.

In his previous life, Liu Kan was not a very scheming person.

But when he came to this era, he had learned some small means to win over people.

Xiao He was indeed very excited and crawled on the ground and said, "I will handle this matter properly and will never let down the king's love."

Liu Kan smiled slightly, nodded without saying a word...

In the middle of December, Wei Bao captured Pengcheng and killed King Mi Xin of Chu.

After occupying Pengcheng, he looted all the wealth of Pengcheng and called himself King Wen of Wei, which greatly boosted his momentum.

However, Wei Bao was also very clear that Pengcheng was not his foundation after all. Xiang Yu fought with Tian Rong in Linzi, and once he was out, he would definitely retaliate. Therefore, Pengcheng should not be left for a long time. After occupying Pengcheng, Wei Bao reactivated Prime Minister Zhou Shi and ordered him to lead his troops to capture Daliang... After all, Daliang is the foundation of Wei State. After seizing Daliang, he can take advantage of the victory to occupy Hanoi and be adjacent to Tang State.

Wei Bao is greedy and lustful, but he is not a fool.

He clearly realized that only the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty could stop Xiang Yu.

Since the covenant has been reached, how can we abandon it?

Wei Bao believed that Xiang Yu's army was dragged down by Qi, and it was a critical moment, so it was impossible to react immediately. When Xiang Yu took action, he had already taken down Daliang and moved the capital. He occupied Daliang and was not afraid of the Chu army and horses.

But Wei Bao was wrong...

On the morning of December 22, Xianyang City was decorated with lights and colorful colors, and it was extremely lively.

Although it is still winter, the breath of spring has spread all over Guanzhong.

The weeping willows on the domineering are green and dancing in the wind.

Liu Kan led all civil and military officials to board the car and drove out from Xianyang.

He parked the car on the official road and waited quietly.

Behind him, the eight hundred and hundreds of Pilis and the lieutenants standing solemnly on both sides of the road, each with bright armor, swords, guns, swords and halberds, particularly shining.

Just after Chen Shi, a group of people appeared from the end of the road.

Most of them wear strange costumes, all of them are BMW horses.

The big flag dances with the wind, and the golden characters written on it are: Tang Guodianke, Neishi Tingwei, and in the middle is the character "Chen".

Under the big banner, a man who looked in his thirties and had a strong black lean sperm straddled a majestic black Wusun Tianma, wearing a black robe, a steel knife on his waist and hips, was full of energy.

When Liu Kan was still ten miles away from the battle for carriage, the troops stopped abruptly.

The man urged the horse to move forward, following more than a dozen people. At the same time, Liu Kan also drove a carriage. When both sides were still a mile away, the man immediately strangled the war horse, slammed the saddle, knelt on the ground, and crawled on the official road, "Minist Chen Ping, was ordered to go on the northern border, and achieved success in three years... Today, he led the envoy of the Dongwusun Kingdom to come and report to my king, and wished me a long time to live the life of the king..."

The entourage behind them also dismounted.

One of them, who looked closely, turned out to be a tall and beautiful woman.

High cheekbones, slightly sunken eye sockets, and particularly fair skin.

She stood behind Chen Ping and stared at Liu Kan in the car with curiosity.

It was Liu Xin who drove for Liu Kan. He held the horse and widened his eyes, looked at the woman vigilantly, and subconsciously placed his hand around his waist.

"Lotus, don't be rude, why don't you kowtow to the king?"

Chen Ping whispered, and the woman knelt down reluctantly.

"Daozi, get up quickly."

Liu Kan stepped forward, helped Chen Ping, looked up and down, and then said softly: "Daozi, you have lost a lot of weight."

Chen Ping's body was originally a bit obese, but after three years, he became thinner.

After hearing Liu Kan's words, Chen Ping felt warm in his heart, "Ping finally failed the king's trust, even if he suffered a little, it was nothing.

This is the daughter of Jasmine, the queen of Dongwusun Kingdom. This time I was ordered to come with me to pay homage to the king."

Liu Kan nodded, "Okay, get up."

After saying that, he grabbed Chen Ping's arm with a swing, "Daozi, you have stirred up the storm in the north over the past three years, allowing me to develop with peace of mind and work hard. Now that the Mobei is pacified, you should be the first to be the master. From then on, Mobei is pacified... Daozi, your contribution is in the country. Come on, come and climb the city with me, let's enter the city."

Chen Ping was startled and hurriedly said, "I have done my duty. What kind of virtue do you have to share with the king?"

"I said you have it, you have it!"

Without saying a word, Liu Kan pulled Chen Ping and got on the car.

Although Chen Ping lost weight, his strength did not weaken. But even so, Liu Kan pulled him into the car effortlessly.

As Liu Xin drove the car, there was a loud gong and drums in an instant, and shouts came one after another.

This was also specially ordered by Liu Kan to meet Chen Ping.

Standing beside Liu Kan, Chen Ping seemed particularly excited. After a long time, he whispered: "Master, I don't know if Ping is late to come back?"

Liu Kan smiled, "The show has just begun."

There was nothing to say along the way, and Chen Ping's accompanying people were properly arranged.

However, the lotus followed Chen Ping and followed Liu Kan to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Xiao He stood on the steps with a smile. He and Chen Ping are also old acquaintances, but this time they did not leave the city to welcome Chen Ping.

Liu Kan instructed someone to take Lianhua to the back house.

Then he sat down in the courtyard and asked in surprise: "Daozi, what's the point of bringing that foreign woman?"

Chen Ping had a pseudonym Yuan Ping, and had an affair with Queen Yuezhi and plotted against the Yuezhi Kingdom. Liu Kan knew a little about it.

Some people in the court also discussed it privately, and Chen Ping's virtue was also lost.

But Liu Kan didn't care, but instead appointed Chen Ping as Dianke and the court lieutenant.

Dianke was a barbarian in charge of naturalization, while Tingwei was in charge of criminal laws and laws, and had great power. However, Chen Ping also had another identity, that is, Wang Fu of Dongwusun Kingdom and the right prime minister.
