Chapter 643 The Most Powerful Army of the Great Han
Liu Chang is no longer the stupid young man he used to be.
After experiencing countless bloody storms, he seems to be a rogue, but he already possesses 80% to 90% of the abilities of a high emperor.
Of course, the elder believed that it was ten times better than him. This was 80% to 90% the evaluation given by Empress Lu and others.
According to Empress Lu, in fact, Liu Chang has reached the level of Emperor Gao in terms of recognizing people, employing people, and abnormal affinity. The only flaw is that Liu Chang is not as decisive as Emperor Gao... He is always
Subconsciously, he showed mercy, or in other words, he had more conscience.
Emperor Gao could be a very kind father, but in times of danger when his entire army was wiped out, he could abandon his legitimate son.
Emperor Gao could be a good brother worth keeping, but when it affected the overall situation, he could send people to kill his brothers.
But Liu Chang probably couldn't do these things. Empress Lu's words did not make Liu Chang angry. If he were ten years younger, he might have stood up long ago and slapped his chest to express that he must kill the enemy.
Cut off the head and give it to my mother.
He just looked at Queen Lu calmly, "Mom... I'm not looking down on you. I don't want to leave, not because of you... but because of myself."
Queen Lu was stunned for a moment and put away some of her anger, "I will wait for you to come back." Between mother and son, there was no need to explain too much, just one sentence, and both of them understood each other's thoughts.
Liu Chang's face was a little serious. He raised his head and said displeasedly: "This guy Lu Lu... he knows how to cause trouble for me..."
Empress Lu looked at him with a bit of disdain. She didn't know about this?
Now, this Zhuzi is at the peak of his strength. Whether it is strategy, combat power, affinity, or commanding ability, almost all aspects have reached the peak. His own bravery has not yet begun to fade, but his experience has been extremely rich... He is in thick
In the Hall of Virtue, he was like a bound tiger. He missed the feeling of galloping on horseback and killing all directions... But as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, or the son of Empress Lu, he could only give up.
Queen Lu was not worried about what would happen to her son in Shendu. Queen Lu had heard a lot about the war in Shendu. If they had the ability to hurt Liu Chang, the Peacock King would not be beaten to death.
Of course, for safety reasons, Empress Lu still had to add some amulets to her son.
"You have to go, but you can't go alone. You have to let the captain
Responsible for war command and let Zhou Yafu point out his actions
Go to Xiting Kingdom
Heading to Xiyanwei, Beibei Chengzheng takes command... Let colleagues in the field go to Guangxi
Your front army...Song Chang and Chai Wu will be on your left and right...Zhou Bo and Xia Houying will serve as your rear army...to support you at any time...You also need the northwest countries to send their own generals to obey your orders, and the most elite troops from the north and south armies will be deployed.
The cavalry..."
"Mom...Are you planning to let me take down the entire body poison???"
"I'm just going to teach my two disobedient brothers a lesson...Is this necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary. War is always the most important thing. It is related to the survival of the country. We should do our best... You don't have to interfere in this matter. I will let the captain prepare it!"
Liu Chang was stunned for a long time, then nodded and agreed. When the Taiwei appeared in Houde Hall again, he didn't look very happy.
His dangerous eyes looked at Liu Chang in front of him, and he seemed to be ready to give Liu Chang a shoe.
Han Xin was very reluctant to let Liu Chang go on an expedition. In the past, Emperor Gao had gone on many expeditions, but that was not the case now... At that time, the Han Dynasty would face the crisis of annihilation after losing a battle. Emperor Gao wanted to go out in person and do his best.
, but what are those small countries that are in trouble? They still need the Emperor of Han to personally go on an expedition, no matter how many benefits there are.
What happened to Liu Chang in Longxi last time has proved that he is the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty today. Once something happens to him, the entire Han Dynasty will immediately fall apart and everything will be destroyed.
From the overall perspective, Han Xin really did not want to let his disciples go to the battlefield.
Han Xin knows the battlefield very well, no one can compare to him
He knows better that this is the most dangerous place in the world. Under war, no one can guarantee their absolute safety, no matter how weak the enemy is. Han Xin never despises anyone, even if he is a poisonous person or someone with a poisonous body.
When someone fights, Han Xin will definitely adopt the most cautious attitude and fight with all his strength... But the Queen Mother has already sided with Liu Chang. This silly big man of his has always been stubborn. He can only make him obedient by moving out of the Queen Mother. At this moment, the Queen Mother stands with him.
Over there, no matter how angry I am, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
Liu Chang probably also knew what the teacher was thinking.
He grinned, "My mother was worried that I would be in any danger, so I left the preparations to you... I believe that with the master commanding the army and sitting at the rear, nothing will happen to me!"
"Ha...it was originally something that only required Zhou Yafu to lead three thousand cavalry, but now it's great."
"While your mother is encouraging you to go on an expedition, she also wants me to gather all the great generals from the Han Dynasty to accompany you on your expedition... Originally, it was only about the northwest countries, but now it has begun to gather from all countries... hundreds of men, the best generals from all countries... Guang
The generals she wants to gather can form an army on their own... She wants me to select the most outstanding knights from each army... I want to gather 10,000 knights for you... These 10,000 knights will probably be the entire army.
The most powerful army of ten thousand in the Han Dynasty... Those Langguan can only serve as chiefs in the army... Colonels in various places can only serve as military princes..."
Han Xin found that he was a little confused about women's brain circuits. If you were worried about your son, couldn't you just tell him not to go?
Why bother??
In the powerful army arranged by Empress Lu for her son, Zhou Yafu could only serve as a captain at his level, leading more than a thousand people with the rank of permanent general of chariots and cavalry...Okay.
The supreme commander of these ten thousand people is still Han Xin.
Of course, Han Xin was only the nominal commander, responsible for formulating strategies for this army, and their general was still Liu Chang.
Liu Chang didn't find it troublesome, he laughed heartily.
"Many of these young doctors today have never been on the battlefield, just like Li Guang of Xiting Kingdom... This time, wouldn't it be nice for them to follow me and learn a lot? If you are brave but have never fought, you will not be able to become a warrior.
Qualified generals... I am cultivating more talents for the Han!"
Han Xin did not deny it, he just narrowed his eyes. There were a lot of people to be mobilized at one time. Even if he was as powerful as Han Xin, it would take some time to arrange personnel properly.
"You should think about those ministers... If they know that you are going to fight in person, they will probably kneel and die in front of you..." Looking at the proud Liu Chang, Han Xin couldn't help but remind him.
The word "body poison" is actually very sensitive, and they are very afraid of it.
The reason for fear was because of Liu Chang's crazy war-crazy behavior. After Liu Chang took power, he started wars in various places. The frequent wars almost collapsed the Han's treasury. The man who saved the Han at that time was named Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang
Chang and the ministers at the time worked hard to turn the tide and prevent the Han Dynasty from gradually going to destruction due to the war... The period of rapid development of the Han Dynasty was actually after the death of Zhou Chang. The Han Dynasty stopped the war, had no opponents, and developed rapidly.
It just improved.
But now Liu Chang is about to start another war. The destination is Shendu thousands of miles away.
At the beginning, Zhou Chang told his ministers many times that if a war broke out between the Han Dynasty and Shen Du, it would definitely bring the Han Dynasty into the quagmire of war and destroy the Han Dynasty.
Although Zhou Chang is gone, the ministers still remember these things. However, Minister Liu Chang of Xiangqi looked like he was not there one by one.
Thinking of those ministers, Liu Chang looked like he didn't care, "Master, don't worry! I already know how to deal with them!" "I am a wise king! As long as I argue with these ministers,
If you sincerely persuade them, they will definitely agree!"
Han Xin said with a straight face, "Let me think about it...are you going to call them together and then announce that you are going to go on an expedition, and those who object will be dragged out and killed?"
Liu Chang's eyes widened, "Master... If I do this, won't I become the king of Jie and Zhou? I can't do this... I want to adopt a gentle approach... Don't say such words again!"
Han Xin sneered, "Huairou? Then I
I want to see it..." "Gentlemen!! Now is the time when the Han Dynasty is in crisis. Since the Han Dynasty started doing business, commercial taxes have become an important source of finance for the Han Dynasty. But now, the two countries have not obeyed my edict.
"I ordered you to start a war without authorization and cut off the trade routes of the Han Dynasty. The Taiwei sent me three reports asking me to put an end to the Shendu rebellion. I regard the world as the most important thing and dare not follow it."
In fact, it is reasonable to go on expeditions in order to protect trade routes. In history, the great Han Dynasty went on many expeditions because they wanted to protect their trade routes, and even sent "strategic weapons" to protect trade routes...
But, it doesn't make sense for the emperor to personally conduct conquests in order to maintain trade routes.
The ministers couldn't help but hold their breath.
Liu Chang continued: "It's just that the Queen Mother also came to advise me to put state affairs first... Nowadays, body poison is particularly important to the big man. If we let him go this time, we will have to pay a higher price next time."
To attack him, I am a wise king who obeys all advice... Therefore, I have called you here today just to discuss this matter. Do you think what the Taiwei and the Queen Mother said is acceptable?"
Liu Chang looked at the ministers, and Han Xin, who was standing among the ministers, turned very dark.
What a gentle way... It turns out that your gentle way is to sell me out??
Liu Chang continued: "The Taiwei also said that he would drag out the ministers who objected and kill them...but I think it is inappropriate. It is normal to have different opinions. How can we do such cruelty?"
The temple fell silent.
Once the emperor is too strong, the balance between the ministers and the emperor will be disrupted. Just like now, Liu Chang said that the only thing the ministers can do when encountering such a thing is to force each other to death.
Everyone looked at Sangong.
Zhang Cang seemed to have known about it for a long time. There was no trace of emotion on his face. He just squinted his eyes as usual, looking like his old eyes were dim. Zhang Buyu had already become fanatical and almost shouted that he would follow His Majesty to destroy his body. Too much
Wei stared directly at His Majesty with very cold eyes, as if he was about to get up at the next moment and punish the ministers who opposed him...
"Your Majesty! I think something is wrong." Everyone was shocked and turned around to look.
Chao Cuo stood up seriously, completely ignoring Taiwei Han Xin who was standing next to him.
The ministers never thought that in this situation, the only person who dared to stand up and refute the Queen Mother, the Taiwei, and the Emperor was actually Chao Cuo, whom they usually wanted to kill the most.
At that moment, the ministers who always shouted loudly about traitors and traitors fell silent.
The ministers who claimed to be upright chose to give in several times during their confrontations with the emperor, while the one called the traitor stepped forward several times.
Chao Cuo said: "Your Majesty, it is right to protect trade, but your Majesty should not go out personally. There are many generals in the country, so why do you need to put yourself in danger? Besides, the poison is very far away. If your Majesty goes there, it will definitely take several years.
In those days, how can the Han people be governed when the king has been away for so long? Your Majesty, please do not listen to their advice and send a general to Shendu in your stead."
Liu Chang was not surprised. As a famous iron-headed boy, neither the Queen Mother nor the Lieutenant could scare this guy.
This guy usually doesn't want to provoke these people, but if he feels something is wrong, he will ignore the other person's identity.
Liu Chang was not angry, but the country still needed such people, just like Zhou Chang back then, and Chao Cuo now.
"What you said makes sense... However, this trip to Shendu is not just to maintain the trade route... This is for the Taiwei's strategy, to completely solve the internal problems of Shendu so that they can follow the big man more firmly.
, other generals can also quell the war, but they cannot reach this level of strategy. If I go there in person, it will be to inspect my own vassals, which will be more beneficial to the future... As for the problems of the world, the prince has already married, and there are wise ministers in the country.
There are quite a few. With their help, I believe that the prince can manage the country well."
Hearing these words, the ministers felt a little horrified. The prince ruled the country? How many years did he go?? Won't this cause any big problems?
But the core ministers still didn't say anything, especially Zhang Cang, who even seemed a little sleepy and wanted to catch up on some sleep.
Chao Cuo became even more anxious, "Your Majesty! Although the prince is married, he is still young. How can he
How about governing the Han Dynasty on your behalf? Besides, the prince is not a king, just a prince... There has never been a way in the world for a prince to govern a country. So you... you...
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, remembering something, and waved his hand, interrupting Chao Cuo's words.
Liu Chang pretended to be furious and cursed: "Come here! Arrest those who disobey the emperor's orders! Put them in jail!" Chao Cuo didn't even have time to say anything and was taken away.
The ministers looked at Chao Cuo who was dragged out with confusion. If they had encountered such a thing in the past, they would definitely have celebrated each other and asked for Chao Cuo to be dismissed. However, at this moment, they did not have any reaction... Although this
He was a female official and a traitor, but after all, he was punished for admonishing His Majesty. It would be a bit shameless to impeach him at this time. At least, the ministers in the early Han Dynasty were more shameless.
After the court meeting was over, Liu Chang hurried back to Houde Hall. Before setting off for the expedition, he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Han Xin did not go to Liu Chang to question him, but instead began to arrange the deployment of this powerful army for Liu Chang.
In the prince's residence, fully armed Cheng Bushi and Zhang Fu stood in front of Liu An.
The two of them were wearing armor and strong swords, looking majestic and majestic.
Ju Meng looked at the two of them with some envy.
As for why the two of them looked like this, it was because "I saw a military message last night. The tyrant ordered his troops. There were twelve volumes of military books, and there were names in each of them..."
Cheng Bushi and Zhang Fu were also among those being recruited. Both of them were a little confused. We were not officials, and we had no positions. We were just the prince's companions. Why did we have to follow him to the battlefield?
Liu An looked at them with a smile.
"My father is determined to train you... This time when you go to the battlefield, you don't have to think about making achievements. Instead, you should learn more about the art of war from your father... and learn how to use soldiers."
They are not qualified to go to the battlefield, and my father wants to take them with him, obviously to train Liu An to be general-type talents who can lead troops in the future.
Ju Meng felt a little aggrieved, "I was not recruited."
Liu An comforted him: "You are better at fighting privately than fighting. Besides, there are many things around me that I need your help with. How can you leave together?"
Hearing Liu An say this, Ju Meng's mood immediately improved a lot, and he nodded happily.
Liu An looked at the two people in front of him again. Cheng Bu did not know how to read the art of war and was extremely cautious and steady. Mr. Zhang was brave and did not want his life at all. Even those who could fight better than him were unwilling to provoke him. He was still in Chang'an.
There is a nickname called "Zhang Luizi", which means that this person is a little crazy and may have a brain problem.
When Liu An was in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Fu relied on his bravery to conquer the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
He doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he only speaks when he drinks too much... But Liu An would rather he don't talk, because he offends others as soon as he speaks. He looks down on many powerful people, always comparing them to pigs and dogs... He even dares to talk to others when he drinks too much.
Liu An takes action...
The personalities of the two are completely opposite, and so is their fighting style. Cheng Bushi frowned. He was more worried about Liu An than himself. The emperor was going to go on an expedition, and major events would fall on Liu An. He was very worried about this man.
Whether the young His Highness can control the situation and deal with so many old dogs... Each of these old dogs is more cunning than the last, which will test Liu An's ability.
"Your Highness...why don't you just let me stay..." Liu An chuckled and shook his head.
"It's okay... I know what you are worried about... You don't have to worry... I know what to do, and I will do it well, because I know what they need and what I can give them..."
After listening to Liu An's words, Cheng Bushi didn't say anything more. The two of them said goodbye to the prince and headed to the school grounds.
Liu An lowered his head and returned to the inner room. Tiying was chatting with some maids. When she saw Liu An walking in, she walked up happily. The two were newly married and were still in a very tired stage.
"I heard that my father is going to fight beyond the Great Wall... I want to give him an amulet..."
"Amulets? Mother has found hundreds of amulets for him... You might as well find some fine wine and let him drink it on the road..."
Liu An smiled bitterly and sat down, although
Although he was very confident in front of his subordinates, Liu An was also a little scared at the moment... The staff in the temple, the three ministers and the nine ministers, none of them were easy to talk to. They were all capable ministers under his father's command, and those dignitaries were all
My elders... It is really not easy to control these people and lead them to do something...
Tiying seemed to notice Liu An's uneasiness and gently held his hand. "Your Highness... He will definitely be surprised when His Majesty comes back... You are the smartest person I know, and you will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
