Liu Bang had just set out and halfway through the journey, he encountered Xia Houying's returning army.
Xia Houying held a wooden box and walked respectfully to Liu Bang.
Opening the wooden box, it was found that Yingbu's head was inside.
Yingbu glared angrily and refused to close his eyes until death.
Liu Bang looked at him for a long time and sighed, "Take him back and bury him with his body..."
The chaos in Huainan Kingdom happened and ended very quickly. Ordinary people almost didn't feel the storm. It was over in an instant. I don't know if Yingbu regretted not listening to the generals before he died in the battle.
, make plans to rebel.
Liu Bang was not in a hurry to go back, but instead took a carriage to inspect Huainan.
Huainan was wealthy, second only to Qi State, and the local people probably didn't know what happened. After seeing Liu Bang's carriage, they shouted "Your Majesty." It wasn't until someone reminded them that he was the emperor.
Fortunately, the war did not spread to Huainan, and the situation in various places was not greatly affected. The Zhao Dynasty Rebellion was over, and Huainan was no longer Liu Bang's concern. At this moment, Liu Bang finally calmed down completely and looked at the human, land and scenery of Huainan Kingdom.
, the mood is infinitely peaceful.
However, the matter in Huainan Kingdom has stirred up a storm elsewhere.
After learning that Yingbu had been killed, Lu Wan could not sleep for a whole day and woke up crying in nightmares every day.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
The princess asked worriedly.
Lu Wan shook her head, shed tears, and said nothing.
He dreamed about his best brother, but in the dream, his good brother wanted to kill him.
.......
When the news of Huainan's pacification came back to Chang'an, Chang'an was immersed in joy.
Even Empress Lu had a faint smile on her face. Even after the news came back, Liu Chang had not been beaten by his mother for three days!
In Tianlu Pavilion, all the princes were extremely excited.
"I didn't expect that the war ended so quickly and Yingbu actually died!"
"Yeah, I thought this war would destroy the land of Jingchu..."
"Oh, I have long seen that Yingbu is vulnerable!"
Liu Chang said proudly, and several brothers looked at him. Liu Ruyi said sarcastically: "Now that Yingbu has been defeated, Chang can see at a glance that he is vulnerable. It's really amazing! Why don't I look like this?
What about the long-term perspective? Father really didn’t give you the wrong name!"
"Originally, what do you know?"
Liu Chang said proudly: "A few days ago, my father and I were receiving my eldest sister in Jiaofang Hall, drinking and having fun. At this time, my father suddenly sighed. I quickly asked and learned that my father was serving Yingbu.
Worry about things!"
"He told him, father, when you were fighting in the north and south, you were not afraid when the Qin soldiers were ten times as many as you. Xiang Yu was so brave, but he was defeated and committed suicide by you... What does Yingbu have to worry about?
As long as you send a few qualified generals and your reputation is there, the enemy will be emboldened!"
The princes looked at each other in shock, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether Liu Chang was telling the truth or a lie.
Liu Ruyi said disdainfully: "Just believe half of this guy's words."
"These words are probably true, but they may not be those he said...maybe they were said by my sister-in-law..."
Liu Chang was exposed and became furious. He pointed at Ruyi and cursed: "How dare Shu Zi'an slander me? I am not strong yet! When I am strong, there will be changes!"
Ruyi curled her lips and said, "If you have this time, it's better to read more books."
The princes were chattering about the situation of the war. When they talked about Xia Houying, they were already very excited and they were all full of praise for him.
"Ahem..."
After Gai Gong cleared his throat, these people came back to their senses and sat obediently in their seats.
"A true wise king will not get excited about war."
"War is a disaster, far more than any other disaster. It will bring great suffering to the people... A truly benevolent and righteous king can do three things: avoid war, contain war, and resolve war as soon as possible.
"
"War is a last resort and cannot be treated as an opportunity to show one's bravery."
"War is for protection, not bullying."
Gai Gonggong told the story truthfully. None of the princes dared to refute, not even Liu Chang. He kept nodding his head. Teacher, you are right! You are so right!
In this class, Princess Gai mainly tells the princes about war. Duke Gai is a staunch pacifist, although his swordsmanship is not very peaceful.
After taking the class, it was natural to practice sword practice.
Needless to say, until now, Liu Chang is still unable to take a single move under Gai Gong. He is defeated every time. This makes Liu Chang quite irritable and even loses some of his previous self-confidence. Gai Gong, however, does not do it at all.
Pay no attention to him, and don't show mercy to him because of this, but the offensive becomes more fierce.
"Bang~~"
Liu Chang's wooden sword was thrown away by Gai Gong, and his wooden sword easily touched Liu Chang's eyebrows.
Liu Chang looked at Gai Gong blankly, looking a little depressed, and sighed.
"Master...Why do I feel like I am losing faster and faster..."
"So far, I still can't take any of your moves... Am I not suitable for practicing swordsmanship?"
"After practicing for so long, why can't I practice?"
Liu Chang sat on the ground in frustration, not picking up the wooden sword beside him. He frowned and began to lose confidence for the first time.
Gai Gong stood in front of him, stroking his beard, "When practicing swordsmanship, technique is not important. The most important thing is to practice your state of mind."
"I do not understand."
"The principles in the world are all interconnected. Swordsmanship is like this, and other things are like this... Once you practice swordsmanship, you can't shrink back. You must believe in yourself and never look back. Only in this way can you be considered masterful..."
Liu Chang still looked confused.
Gai Gong had no choice but to change his words, "Do you know how Xia Houying killed Yingbu?"
"Of course I know! I heard they said he was killed with a spear!"
"Then do you know why Xia Houying was able to kill him?"
"They said they stabbed Yingbul to death when he was exhausted."
Gai Gong shook his head, stroked his beard, and said seriously: "People are often the bravest before they die. A desperate blow does not mean exhaustion... And the reason why Xia Houying was able to kill Yingbu was because
Because of his momentum, he believed he could kill Yingbu, but Yingbu hesitated and was confused, which is why he lost to Xia Houying."
"Um...could it be because Xia Houying rode in a chariot, while Yingbu fought on foot?"
"No, listen to me... No matter what you practice or what you want to do, never hesitate or shrink... If you decide to do something, then believe that you can do it! There is this
A spiritual person will never be defeated!"
"When I was young, I was just like you...lawless, arrogant, looking down on any warriors, and fighting to the death with others...I had been in trouble for half my life. After losing all my family members, I learned from the pain and decided to read and unlock my inner feelings.
Confusion... Just like this, after reading books for thirty years... I have gradually lost all confusion in my heart."
"This is what I want to tell you, no matter what you do, you must persevere, don't give up easily, and have confidence... As long as you make up your mind, nothing is impossible."
"I understand!"
Liu Chang shouted, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, jumped up suddenly, and continued to fight with the teacher.
.....
"boom!"
The wooden sword hit one spot, and Luan Bu's eyes were a little frightened.
The next moment, Luan Bu's sword had struck Liu Chang's neck.
Liu Chang smiled and put away his wooden sword and shouted: "Come again!"
Luan Bu pursed his lips. He had never seen anyone as talented as the young master. He thought back then, the young master was full of flaws in front of him. To practice swordsmanship with him was just to play with the children. But how long had it been?
, when it comes to the young master’s growth, he is definitely the one who feels it the most.
By now, he had to cheer up so as not to embarrass himself in front of the young master. The young master's strength and speed were increasing rapidly, and his skills gradually became more proficient. Luan Bu was sometimes beaten with various weird moves.
It's hard to resist.
He couldn't imagine what kind of ruthless person the young master would be when he grew up? Could he be another King of Chu?
When he was studying as an apprentice, he once heard others say that the overlord of Chu, with dozens of cavalry, could rush into thousands of people, kill the generals and seize the flag, and no one could stop him. At that time, Luan Bu usually despised these people.
According to rumors, how could there be such a fierce person in the world? But seeing the young master in front of him, Luan Bu felt a little shaken. Maybe there really is such a person.
Just when Luan Bu was thinking wildly, he felt severe pain in his abdomen. When he saw it, Liu Chang's wooden sword was pressed against his abdomen.
Liu Chang grinned and said, "Luan Jun, you are upset. One must have confidence in oneself and have the courage to move forward! How can one retreat?"
"What the young master said is absolutely true!"
"Do you know how Xia Houying defeated Yingbu?"
ps: Brothers, it has been confirmed that it will be released on March 1st. There will be updates by then to repay the past alliance leaders and the Silver Alliance. I have been saving manuscripts like crazy recently, just so that everyone can enjoy it when the time comes! Thank you.
