Liu Chang was sitting in the upper position, and the Northwest Three Fools were sitting on his left hand side. They were all looking directly at him. In Liu Chang's eyes, they were like three "huskies" sticking out their tongues at him.
Liu Chang glanced at Liu Xiang and Liu Xian, "This is not the Hongmen Banquet, and I am not Xiang Yu. What kind of armor are I wearing?!"
After hearing this, the two people hurriedly took off their armor on the spot, revealing their obscene clothes that were not suitable for the banquet, and sat down again.
Liu Qi glanced at his two stupid brothers. They dared to wear obscene clothes at the emperor's banquet. They bullied me and there are no historians here, right?
It’s true that I’m not afraid of being infamy for eternity.
Several generals were sitting on Liu Chang's right hand side. They looked very serious. The three great captains Zhou Bo, Chai Wu, and Xiahou Zao sat facing each other and the three princes and kings. Zhou Yafu and the others could only sit under them.
Because Zhou Yafu had the highest rank, he sat next to Xiahou Zao, but his face was already full of black lines at this moment, because Xiahou Zao had already begun to pat his shoulders and call him Zhou Sheng, and he wanted to call him Youzi directly.
In his mind, he was a prince and a prince who was on equal footing with Zhou Bo. He and Zhou Bo were sworn friends, and it was appropriate to call Zhou Yafu "Jie Zi".
He was completely uninhibited at the banquet. He was pulling Zhou Bo to say something, and then started pulling Zhou Yafu. Only Chai Wu sitting next to him was ignored by him. This was because of the "harmony" between Xiting Kingdom and Beiting Kingdom.
relations, the top leaders of the two countries have some conflicts with each other, especially in Xia
After Hou Zao attacked Chai Wu's son Chai Qi, this conflict became completely public. Liu Xuan and Liu Qi exchanged letters and had friendly exchanges. They cursed each other. They originally wanted to curse each other's ancestors, but suddenly they remembered this.
Both sides seemed to be at a disadvantage, so they went to scold the ministers around the other side.
Every big man has filial sons and grandsons, so the most serious insults usually start around the other person's family.
But the two people's mutual insults obviously cannot involve the family. What can be done? The eldest father who wrote the insult to each other was born as a pavilion chief?
Born from the same eldest father, there is no way they can defeat each other.
In order to receive Liu Chang, Liu Qi also took great care. He specially had a camel roasted to entertain his father. Sure enough, Liu Chang had never eaten camel before. When he saw the camel roasting meat, his eyes could not help but light up and he took a big mouthful.
I tasted this new thing with a big mouthful, and it was actually not bad. Because I had frequent interactions with Shendu, Xiting Country had a lot of spices, and the food was very delicious. Liu Chang liked the unique taste of the barbecue.
Liu Chang took a few bites and his eyes widened immediately, "What does this taste like? It's so fragrant. Why haven't I tasted it before in Chang'an??"
"What spices were added?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Father Zhong, this thing called benzoin is not poisonous to the body. It was brought by the poisonous people from the Kingdom of Anthia. I know that my father is good at meat, so I asked a big merchant who was poisonous to get it.
This thing is only found in Parthia. The Parthians called it very strange. It is called Zrea."
"The land of Parthia."
Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. Liu Xuan hurriedly poked his head out and said, "If Father Zhong is willing to eat it! I will lead the army to Anxi, capture the Anxi King, and force him to teach this spice!"
"
"Fart! How can you conquer a country just for a spice?"
Liu Chang cursed and said to Liu Qi happily: "Shuzi is really careful."
When the emperor is in the territory of the princes and kings, he usually takes the initiative to safeguard the authority of the princes and kings. He respects the princes and kings very much and cannot lose etiquette. If he disrespects the princes and kings, the ministers around the princes and kings will find ways to take revenge. For example,
Emperor Zhang Aogao, Liu Chang's sister-in-law, disrespected him and treated him as a
As his son-in-law, his disciples were ready to rebel and kill Emperor Gao. But Liu Chang obviously did not have such a problem. Even in the territory of these three guys and even in their palace, Liu Chang still beat and scolded them.
, saying that Shuzi is just praising them, and not taking action means that they did a good job.
As for whether Xiahou Zao would plot against Liu Chang because his lord was humiliated, Liu Chang thought it was unlikely.
Compared with those two guys who only wanted to go on an expedition with Liu Chang, Liu Qi had more things on his mind.
He asked cautiously: "What are you going to do, Father Zhong?"
In fact, the situation of body poisoning is very complicated, because they have many countries, and the two warring parties are nominally the brothers of the Han Dynasty. Strictly speaking, this is not the kind of problem that can be solved by fighting.
You need to figure out who to hit, how to hit, why to hit, etc.
Compared with war, Liu Qi cared more about how to let the Han Dynasty gain more benefits.
This is also where Liu Chang is extremely satisfied with Liu Qi. As Liu Qi grows older, he becomes more and more mature. He gradually loses the irritability and impulsiveness of the past, and is gradually moving towards the direction of Emperor Jing in history.
Emperor Jing in history was caught between
Between civil and military officials, Wen is not as good as his father, and Wu is not as good as his son. Because of some disgraceful deeds, he did not even enter the temple and had no temple name. However, the rule of Wen and Jing cannot avoid this Jing. If you say that he
It's really wrong to completely take the credit of father and son.
Emperor Jing continued his father's legacy, increased the accumulation of the treasury, and eliminated the biggest unrest factor in the country for his son.
If the power of the princes and kings remains as usual, do you think Emperor Wu would dare to directly go out to fight the Huns?
He himself was very capable, but he did not rule for a long time. If he lived long enough, it might be Emperor Jing and Zhou Yafu who went out to fight the Huns. After putting down the civil strife, Emperor Jing had even begun to deploy a counterattack plan against the Huns.
.
Liu Chang stroked his beard and said, "I didn't think too much. I want to get rid of the poison and fight."
"Father Zhong, you"
Liu Qi's eyes were a little shocked. This was not the answer he wanted to hear.
Liu Chang continued: "I know you have a lot on your mind. It's not easy for someone at your age to think of these things. But I am not going to the body to scheming. I don't have to choose a target. I don't have to think so much."
, I went this time because the big man needs to fight hard to make them feel scared, so it doesn’t matter who I hit, I’ll hit whoever comes forward, and I’ll hit whoever blocks the way. I’ll hit them until they are willing to kneel in front of me.
Until you beg for mercy!!”
"Father Zhong is wise!!"
Liu Xuan glanced at Liu Qi and cursed: "I know how to flatter you."
Liu Qi glanced at him and said, "Why, do you think Father Zhong is unwise? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no. Father Zhong is wise!!!"
Liu Qi did not intend to go on an expedition with Liu Chang. He expressed his own thoughts. He wanted to sit in Xiting Kingdom, wait for the arrival of the Taiwei, and be responsible for the chores in the rear area.
Liu Xun and Liu Xiang both thought he was afraid of the war, but Liu Chang patted his shoulder approvingly.
"By the way, Qi'an has already gotten married. You have to start a family as soon as possible. You can't just delay having a son. Do you understand? When you give birth to a child, I will take him back to Chang'an to teach him personally!"
Liu Qi was stunned and didn't understand Father Zhong's intention at all. He just nodded.
"I will definitely try to have more sons."
"Then when will Father Zhong prepare to leave??"
"Now!"
"But Lieutenant, he's still here"
"Set off!!"
King Bai Cheng has been in a very good mood these days. He has not been so excited for a long time.
He was sitting in a carriage. This carriage was built for him by the craftsmen according to the style of the carriages of the Han Dynasty. He liked this carriage very much. He used five horses to pull his carriage, which was not an embarrassment to the Mauryan King.
When he came to attack, he was so afraid. The strength of the two sides was too disparate. The big man even favored the enemy openly and gave them a lot of weapons. This made King Baicheng's heart almost sink to the bottom.
.
Fortunately, he was not treated badly here, and the big man sent a lot of supplies.
But he was not stupid. He could vaguely guess that the Han Dynasty had decided to resolve the matter on their own. In the early stages of the official war between the two sides, the war turned towards the Peacock Kingdom as everyone expected.
The Peacock Kingdom conquered seven cities in succession.
Baicheng was confused, but at this moment, things took a turn for the better. His general Aledoja expressed his opinion that the enemy was advancing too fast and could not be connected from end to end. Otherwise, they should give up the confrontation with their front army and attack directly.
The enemy's central army, causing them complete chaos!
The King of Baicheng had no choice but to listen to the general's advice.
Under the general's surprise attack, the Peacock Kingdom was quickly defeated. The tactics were extremely successful. Peacock's army of 100,000 was turned into scattered sand and could not be gathered together. There was chaos at the front and rear. The Peacock King was beaten so hard that he almost died.
He fell into the hands of hundreds of people and fled in embarrassment with hundreds of people. The successor of a certain hundred thousand people who did not want to be named was found.
King Bai Cheng never thought that this battle would be won so easily.
This battle directly destroyed the spirit of the Maurya Kingdom. Their soldiers suddenly lost their combat effectiveness. No matter how good the weapons were, they turned into wooden sticks in their hands. The morale of the hundred soldiers was greatly boosted, and a large number of "big men" were captured.
make".
Immediately they completed the upgrade of their ordnance, and they began to launch a counterattack.
That Aledoja was indeed a very talented general. He was only in his twenties, but he had already shown extraordinary military talents. What King Baicheng didn't know was that the successors after him began to
Reuse the truly powerful generals in the country and promote those with low backgrounds.
They continued to use the old military aristocracy, thus greatly improving their military capabilities. They defeated their old enemies, destroyed the Ganhua Dynasty, occupied Magadha, and became the largest country in the south. They even became close to the Peacock through colonization.
A large country in the territory, confronting the Kushan Empire from the north to the south.
They are the first country to step out of the "circle of noble generals". Their generals are no longer held by nobles, but are determined by ability. Therefore, they have gained a very strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time and defeated those nobles.
The general is so powerful that he can even challenge the Kushan Empire at its peak without fear.
This change began with Purnotsanga, the king of the Hundred Vehicles today. Just like in history, he defeated the regicide and shattered his peacock dream.
After defeating the Peacock Kingdom, King Baicheng began to feel a little different in his heart.
He regained those lost lands and even started to launch a counterattack to occupy the land of the Maurya people. The attitude of the surrounding small countries also quickly changed towards him, and they even began to send troops to support him.
In recent years, the Peacock Kingdom has relied on its own strength to bully small countries. They have long been dissatisfied. He has embraced the big man again. These people can only let themselves be bullied. But now that they have been defeated, these people naturally scream
He rushed up.
The regicide turned out to be nothing more than this?? The great man turned out to be nothing more than this??
The vigilance in their hearts disappeared immediately. If Baicheng could do it, why couldn't they?
This is the reason why the attitudes of various countries towards Han envoys changed.
They are no longer afraid of these powerful countries. Baicheng allows them to see the weak side of powerful countries.
The army of King Baicheng doubled from more than 30,000 to more than 60,000, and they were all troops sent by small countries to help him.
They also want to take a bite of meat from the peacock.
King Baicheng was still a little afraid to accept it at first, and wanted to wait for the envoy of the Han Dynasty. But after accepting such flattery all day long, some changes seemed to have occurred in his heart. Although the Emperor of Han Dynasty was very powerful, he was not poisonous after all. This was
There is no need to obey the orders of the Emperor of Han regarding matters within Shendu. The Emperor of Han will also understand him, right? People like the Regicide really do not deserve the protection of the Emperor.
When he learned that those small countries were robbing peacocks, and by the way, they were robbing the merchants of the Han Dynasty, he did not say anything.
This is all because of the regicide. If you make up for it after defeating the enemy, the Emperor of Han will not be angry, right?
Unconsciously, his mentality had changed.
The confidence to defeat powerful enemies began to affect his judgment. As for the kings of those small countries, they had probably gone crazy.
General Aledoja frowned, unwilling to pay attention to the stupid generals around him.
These are the nobles sent by those small countries. They are here to snatch the credit. Even when they saw Aledoja, they were very kind and said that they would allow Aledoja to kiss their feet. We don't care.
With your humble status, come and kiss our feet! This is your privilege!!
Then Aledoja spit thick phlegm on the man's outstretched leg.
If King Baicheng hadn't come forward, I'm afraid they would have started a war at that time.
After Aledoja defeated the Peacocks, he suggested to King Baicheng not to pursue the Peacock Kingdom rashly. If the Peacock Kingdom was defeated, it would be in ruins. The big man would not allow himself to attack them. He could attack those small countries. They did not.
However, the King of Baicheng did not listen. Later, he opposed the participation of these small countries in the war, thinking that these people would affect the combat effectiveness, but the King of Baicheng still did not listen. Aledoja was different from those people at this moment. His face was full of worry.
.
The nobles smiled proudly and showed off the jewelry in their hands, "Jewelry of a big man! Haha, I snatched it from a Han merchant. He couldn't believe that I would kill him before he died!"
"You were one step ahead!"
"We can't let some coward hear this."
Someone said loudly and glanced at Aledoja.
"Peacock's army of 100,000 people used Han weapons and was easily defeated by us, but someone was as scared as a mouse. He was always worried that the Han people would come and kill him. What's the difference between Han people and Peacock? They could send 100,000 people.
A big army?? Hahaha~~~ They are here just in time and can seize another batch of ordnance."
Everyone laughed loudly.
Aledoja's face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead.
Aledoja has been severely discriminated against since he was a child, because according to their local beliefs, although he is not untouchable, he is still the lowest untouchable. He went to the battlefield at the age of eleven. After so many years of war,
, although he was swallowed up one by one and fought
Although he has finally climbed to the position of general, he is already lucky. Under the caste system, people like him have almost no chance to get ahead. This time, it is because he saved the country. Otherwise, he would definitely not be qualified.
Be on an equal footing with these people.
Even though he made such a great contribution, after he had a conflict with these bad people, the king still favored these bad people.
Aledoja was helpless and pretended not to hear what they said, but the more they talked, the happier they became, and even began to talk about how they killed those merchants.
This made Aledoja even more angry. His parents died in a hunt by such people. Just because they didn't see them or kneel down to greet them, they were brutally executed. At this moment, Aledoja even started to be a little malicious.
I hope that the Han army will suddenly appear, and then we can see how these warriors fight against the Han army.
The army of 60,000 people was quickly heading towards the capital of Peacock. Aledoja wanted to rest several times, but how could these high-caste nobles who wanted to pick peaches allow it?
Aledoja was riding a horse and was moving forward. Suddenly, he stopped.
"Stop!!!"
He yelled loudly, startling the people behind him.
Aledoja frowned, jumped off his horse, and began to lie on the ground.
The nobles couldn't help but laugh when they saw him sticking out his butt. Just as they were about to taunt, Aledoja suddenly jumped up and said, "There is an enemy! Get ready to meet the enemy! Get ready to meet the enemy!"
!!”
At that moment, the nobles' expressions suddenly changed, turning pale as paper. They pulled out the knives from their waists and looked around them warily.
"Enemies? Where are the enemies?"
"Boom~~~"
Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the distance, and the whole ground began to tremble slightly, as if some huge monster was approaching.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sound of muffled thunder became louder and louder, seeming to ring in everyone's heart. The trembling from the ground also became louder and louder. Aledoja suddenly raised his head.
On the high mountain in the distance, a figure appeared.
A white horse and a knight in heavy armor.
The man and the horse were extremely tall, and they galloped out from the hillside. After a while, countless knights emerged from behind him. The densely packed knights, more and more knights galloped from the valley. For a moment,
They were like an ocean, surging forward.
The upper castes were stunned and trembling all over.
"Han Han."
Under the gaze of everyone, the knight collided with their front army. Aledoja roared and started charging on his horse.
The knight just crashed into the crowd. He waved the weird weapon in his hand. His whole body seemed to turn into a millstone in an instant, directly crushing all enemies approaching him without slowing down. The army has dug a bloody path, and no one can touch him. His weapon can knock four or five people away with one horizontal blow, and can even smash a soldier's head with one blow. This is where hundreds of people live. It was very hot. So they generally had no armor. When the knights rushed into them, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, they started a crazy harvesting mode. The knights ran into the front army and directly crushed them, like an unstoppable torrent, heading towards Rolling in with them.
The knight who was charging at the front just advanced all the way, killing the former army and immediately collapsed. The cavalry were crushing them all the way, like mowing grass. Before he could react, the tall knight was already facing Aledoja. After looking at him, the other party seemed to realize that this was a general, and there was even a sinister smile on his face.
At that moment, Aledoja, who was charging, stopped and without a moment's hesitation, turned around and ran away.
"Aledoja! You."
He chopped off the upper caste's head with one knife and flew past them without stopping.
