Chapter 100 The New Art of War of the Marquis of Huaiyin
Liu Bang still convinced Empress Lu.
The Jin State with Hanoi and Hedong as its center became the Tang State with Taiyuan as its loyal partner.
In this way, although the Tang State still looked down on the temple, the two arms of the temple firmly grasped the Tang State and could not be contained. Moreover, with the loss of the two most important counties, population became a big problem.
The main reason is that this place has experienced decades of war, and the household registration is far inferior to that in Qi, Huainan and other countries.
The land area is about the same as that of Huainan, and its strategic position is still very high. It cannot contain the temples, but if the princes outside the pass make any changes, they can also directly block their roads, which can be said to be a happy place for everyone.
Liu Chang was sitting in the Jiaofang Hall, still having a silly time.
"Hey, King Tang, hey, Han and Tang...hehe..."
Queen Lu was sitting alone, holding a bamboo slip in her hand, with no hint of joy on her face.
"Mom, I will be the King of Tang from now on. Haha, the King of Tang Liu Chang sounds pretty good!"
Empress Lu frowned and ignored him.
"Mom, why are you unhappy? The Kingdom of Tang is not far away. I can come to Chang'an to see you at any time."
"You don't have to come back. I'm just waiting for you to go to Fengguo soon... By then, my place will be quiet, and no one will make me angry anymore..."
Hearing this, Liu Chang also straightened his face and said angrily: "If you don't reply, I won't reply!"
The mother and son had another cold war, and no one paid attention to him. Liu Chang turned his back to Empress Lu, angrily waiting for his mother to comfort him.
The cold war lasted until dinner time. There were all kinds of delicious food on the slips in front of Empress Lu. The smell of beef drifted over from afar. Liu Chang smelled it hard, turned around and looked at it eagerly.
Looking at Empress Lu, Empress Lu ate the food with big mouthfuls and made noises from time to time.
Queen Lu put down her chopsticks and said, "Come here and eat."
"Huh! Don't eat it!"
After hearing what Empress Lu said, Liu Chang immediately turned around and raised his head high, not looking at Empress Lu.
The corners of Queen Lu's eyes twitched, "Don't make me say it a third time, come and eat!"
Liu Chang muttered something dissatisfied, walked up to Queen Lu with his head shaking, knelt down heavily, picked up the meat with a straight face, and started to bite into it.
Empress Lu pushed the meat in front of Liu Chang, then lowered her head and continued eating.
Liu Chang ate the meat and said while eating: "How unfair it is for my mother! My father knows my talents, but my mother despises me so much. Even when I wanted to be crowned king, you sent me a gift. I want to be crowned king."
King, you still scold me and want to kick me out...I know you all don't like me...When I have a child, I will never bully him like this..."
Empress Lu said nothing, just looked at Liu Chang and complained.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Um."
"go to sleep!"
"oh..."
Liu Chang turned around and walked into the inner room. Empress Lu continued to lie on the slip of paper, holding a pen, and started writing.
"I hereby order Yunzhong, Yanmen and other counties to fortify the city, set up more beacons, and send out the dead, prisoners, slaves, sons-in-law, sons-in-law, and Jia people from Zhao, Dai, Qi, Chu, Huainan, and Guanzhong
Taiyuan..."
"Let the people reclaim the land of Shangdang in Taiyuan and hoard food and grass..."
The next day, Liu Chang got up early in the morning. He had not forgotten that the fundamental purpose of making him king was not to show off to others, but to prove that his master was still useful. At the very least, he wanted to get him out of prison.
Coming out, even under house arrest, is better than going to jail.
Therefore, while having breakfast, Liu Chang, who had already forgotten the grudges last night, let out a long sigh, trying to arouse his mother's thoughts.
Empress Lu was eating her meal as usual and just ignored him.
"Alas... alas... alas... alas... alas..."
Empress Lu finally couldn't help it, put down her chopsticks, and stared at him coldly, "What do you want to do again?!"
"Mom, the place I want to go to is the place where the Fourth War was fought. There are Huns outside. If I go there rashly, I will definitely escape death!"
"Oh...so you need Han Xin to accompany you, right?"
"Wow! Mom! How did you know?!"
Liu Chang was indeed startled and his eyes widened.
Empress Lu sneered, "He is alive because of his past friendship. It is impossible for him to leave Chang'an alive. Don't think about it."
"Mom, it's okay not to leave Chang'an. Let him come out of prison, let him live in his original mansion, and arrange for people to watch him. I want to continue to learn from him... Mom, you also know that in the future, I
They will definitely fight against the Huns, and I will never allow them to plunder my people!"
"The troops of the Xiongnu are very powerful, but they are not invincible. Back then, Lord Wu'an of Zhao State defeated the Xiongnu in one battle and wiped out the entire army of 200,000 Xiongnu... I consider myself worse than Lord Wu'an.
I’ve learned a little bit, it’s not that I’m not as good as him, I just still need to learn. Can you get the master out and let him continue to teach me?”
"no."
"Mom~~ Just help me. Who else can teach me the strategy to defeat the Huns except him?"
Queen Lu hesitated for a moment, "Every time you go to class, Luan Bu must accompany you."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about Luan Bu, it's okay to send ten more servants to monitor!"
Liu Chang was delighted, and Empress Lu said: "I will go and tell Your Majesty that if he does not agree, don't blame me."
Liu Chang knew in his heart that the matter was settled, because every time he begged his mother, she said so, but she could do it every time, which was exactly the opposite of his father, who promised him nothing every time.
You will definitely not be able to do anything in the end.
Sure enough, within two days, Empress Lu summoned Luan Bu and explained a lot of things to him, and then asked Luan Bu to take Liu Chang to find Han Xin.
Along the way, Liu Chang was particularly excited, bragging to Luan Bu how well he and Han Xin got along, and how much the master liked him as a disciple.
As expected, Han Xin was still arranged in his original residence. The difference was that there were soldiers standing at the door, and there were also soldiers in the courtyard. These soldiers were all known to Liu Chang. They were originally guards in the palace.
Liu Chang happily greeted them and rushed into the inner room.
"Master!!!"
Han Xin was stunned and turned around. Before he could react, Liu Chang had already put his arms around his neck.
"Don't cry!"
Han Xin interrupted "Liu Bang's singing" directly, and then looked at the apprentice seriously, "The food in the palace must be good..."
Liu Chang was also looking at the master. The master looked much thinner than before, with only a skeleton left, not much flesh on his face, and scars on his body, but his face was still calm, without the original anger.
It's unfair, as if everything has been ignored.
Meeting Han Xin again, Liu Chang couldn't help but hurriedly started talking about his experiences during this period. These words became more and more outrageous. Not to mention Han Xin, even Luan Bu couldn't stand listening anymore. He frowned.
, lowered his head, and imitated Chen Ping, and began to close his eyes and rest.
"Okay, no need to say more...I have already heard about these things."
Han Xin interrupted Liu Chang who was chattering and asked again: "Have you ever been crowned king?"
"Prepare to seal it! King Tang! Hahaha, Taiyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, Shangdang, Shangjun, maybe even Beidi can be given to me!"
Han Xin's expression changed drastically and he asked: "Where are Hanoi and Hedong?"
"Um...not given."
Han Xin wanted to say something, but he glanced at Luan Bu and endured it.
"By the way, Master, this is my disciple. His name is Luan Bu. He is a disciple of Confucianism. He has read the scriptures thoroughly, knows astronomy and geography, and has good swordsmanship..."
Luan Bu blushed when he heard this, and hurried forward to pay homage to Han Xin.
Han Xin just nodded calmly.
"Master, let's hurry up and ask you to teach me how to defeat the Huns!"
Liu Chang said very seriously.
Han Xin said disdainfully: "You can't even walk, and you want to learn to run?"
"Forehead...."
"Have you forgotten what I taught you back then?"
"I haven't forgotten. Master, you also know that I have a photographic memory. I can draw inferences from one instance to another. I remember everything very clearly!"
Han Xin asked a few questions, and Liu Chang's answers were correct. Luan Bu was a little surprised. The young master really didn't brag this time. His memory is really good.
Han Xin nodded with satisfaction and continued to teach Liu Chang the art of war.
"The first thing I want to teach you is that the art of war can be applied to anything...Generals use the art of war on the battlefield, but the king can use the art of war in temples and throughout the world..."
Luan Bu looked shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back and walked to the door, not daring to come any closer.
Liu Chang listened to Han Xin's words carefully. After experiencing so many things, this guy finally knew how to study with peace of mind.
ps: Brothers, I don’t know if I can finish the fifth chapter today. I stayed up all night thinking about the plot and I kept feeling sleepy.
