"kill!!"
Outside the city of Tongwan, the shouts of killing were shocking the sky.
Liu Taozi was wearing her armor and stood on the platform. The scorching sun was shining and sweating like rain, but Liu Taozi remained motionless, like a sculpture standing here.
This is a huge military base.
Along the flat ground outside the south official road outside the city, the Han army built a city that could accommodate more than 10,000 people.
Then, Liu Taozi used the Shuozhou soldiers who were accompanying him as the backbone, recruited a large number of young and strong local areas, organized new troops, and practiced day and night.
Tongwan City has now become a military center against the Zhou Kingdom. There are more than hundreds of scouts every day, and the city gates are rarely closed. The outposts are constantly changing personnel, and some small outposts are reserved.
I spent more than ten horses just to convey key news.
Within the city barrier, the new soldiers were divided into different formations and were undergoing military training.
The officers were all working very hard. The soldiers repeatedly arranged, walked, stopped, and retreated, which were the most basic content, but they were constantly repetitive practices.
The group led the horse into the city, and no horses were allowed to ride here. The leader handed the reins to others, and then walked quickly towards the direction of the high platform alone.
The person who came was Zu Ban.
Zu Ban always has different identities at different times. There are many types of counselors, such as those who are engaged in knowledge and culture, those who are engaged in internal politics and those who are with the army to go out for advice. Simply put, it is Shusun Tong, Xiao He, and Zhang.
There may be Han Xin, among the Liangs, but this type is generally considered military generals.
Zu Ban is the kind who can serve on the same stage. He can do knowledge and internal affairs. He is also good at going to the army and making suggestions. He knows a little bit of everything.
He walked up the steps quickly, his figure was agile.
Walking up to the platform, he hurriedly met Liu Taozi.
"His Majesty!"
"A great joy!"
"oh?"
"Yuwen Yong's life is not long!"
Zu Ban took out a memorial and handed it to Liu Taozi. Liu Taozi took it over, glanced at it a few times, and a little shock flashed in his eyes, "Sun Simiao?"
Zu Ban was stunned. Is it a bit too strange that His Majesty is looking for?
"Have you heard of this person?"
"Well, I heard that he is a doctor. I sent a message to Gao Lingjun and asked him to take care of him."
"only."
Zu Ban reminded again: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Yong's incident...:'
"Does my grandfather think it's credible?"
"I think it's credible. The fugitive has a certain identity and there is no reason to make up such a lie... Yuwen Yong is also a capable man. He didn't expect that he still has such a hobby. Take the elixir. OK, he has already reached the Pure Land.
The people of the world can suffer less from war. Immortal elixir! It’s really an immortal elixir!”
Zu Banda had a gloating expression.
Liu Taozi asked, "Then do we still need to change our current strategy?"
Zu Ban originally suggested that Liu Taozi should be quick and should not hesitate.
On the one hand, he asked Gao Yanzong, Yao Xiong and Wang Lin to be in charge of Henan, echoing each other, defending Nanchen and let General Jie Luguang be in charge of the north, and guarding against the Turks.
Then, a grain warehouse arsenal was set up in Tongwancheng, a fortress and schoolyard were built, and a new recruit was trained to enrich Xiazhou with food resources from Gong, Shuo and Hengzhou.
Gathering Gao Changgong, Jie Luxian, Kou Liu, Zhang Heizu, Tu Xiyue, Pi Jinghe, Poduoluo, Liu Chengcai and many other generals led their troops to Xia, and then led an army of 130,000 with Liu Taozi as the commander.
, with a number of 300,000, divided into three groups, and sent troops to attack the Zhou army at the same time, without giving it a chance to breathe, and was destroyed in one fell swoop.
In fact, there are still many opponents of Zu Ban's strategy.
Many ministers felt that with the current situation, as long as they slowly erode Guanzhong and force the Zhou army to retreat to Bashu,
It was formed that the Han Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, and then it was safe to hide its strength, manage its internal affairs, and train its troops. Five years later, it was the safest to attack with a large army.
But Zu Ban insisted on doing this. He felt that destroying Zhou was quick and destroying Chen was slow.
When the Chen State is destroyed in the future, this strategy can be adopted to accumulate strength and use national strength to crush it.
But this cannot be done with Zhou State.
Once Zhou State gains a foothold in Bashu, the gap in national strength will reach an exaggerated level, and it will not be so easy to win it down, and the losses will be extremely heavy.
Of course, Liu Taozi still agreed with Zu Ban's strategy. After all, in recent years, Liu Taozi has basically relied on Zu Ban's strategy to complete the great cause of replacing Qi and entering Guanzhong.
Zu Ban heard Liu Taozi's inquiry, but shook his head.
"No need to change."
"This move is even more beneficial to us."
"Attack Zhou quickly and slow down the map. This strategy cannot change. If Yuwen Yong dies, we will have more things to do."
"Although Yuwen Xian is a man with talent, he is not a king."
"Yuwen Xian has strategies and strategies, is good at appease and control, knows people and responsibilities, charges and leads the way, how can he say that he has no king's talent?"
"No great ambition, less courageous, less judgment...\n..\n. He is a handsome talent, a prime minister, but he is definitely not a king."
"People like Yuwen Yong may not be as good as Yuwen Xian when it comes to combat, governance, and understanding people. There are no mediocre people who recruited by Yuwen Xian, but Yuwen Xian is still not as good as his brother. Yuwen Yong is decisive in his work,
Being good at being forbearing, being able to kill people, knowing the situation, and having ambition to unify... Of course, it is not as good as Your Majesty."
As Zu Ban spoke, he did not forget to praise Liu Taozi.
Then, he continued to talk about Yuwen Xian, "Yuwen Xian cannot reform and strengthen his power like his brother, nor can he do the checks and balances of subordinates. Once Yuwen Yong dies, his prince's descendants will be arrested. Perhaps Yuwen Xian is on the throne, but
With Yuwen Xian's character, ::.\nOnce we send the prince back, he will even assist the prince in his throne, but he will not be able to rise to the throne...\n. This is where he is inferior to Yuwen Yong."
"If Yuwen Yong can come back to his senses and have Yuwen Xian help, it will be really not easy for us to destroy Zhou State. Now Yuwen Yong is dying, hahaha... It can be said that God helps me!"
Zu Ban looked at Liu Taozi, "Your Majesty, if Yuwen Yong is really dead, we can send the prince back."
"You can even select some prisoners and return with his prince."
"Our Han Dynasty has always governed the country with loyalty and filial piety and educated the world with morality. How could his son not be remembered by his father's death?"
"However, I have to go to see the prince first and see his character. If he is a good person, then leave him and let the other sons go there. If he is a poor person, then he can send him back....\n
."
Liu Taozi then spoke, "It's a bit unbearable."
"Your Majesty has seen him, but I have never seen him."
"Yuwen Xian is virtuous and attaches great importance to his reputation. If the prince returns to China, he will assist the prince and will never be independent. However, those who are under Yuwen Xian are looking forward to making achievements with Yuwen Xian, so how can he believe in a small person?
Where is the doll?”
"I expected that there would be civil strife. Even if there was no civil strife, or if Yuwen Xian himself took office, it would disperse Yuwen Xian's thoughts and cause certain strife. This would be beneficial to our strategy of destroying Zhou quickly."
"In the end, sending the prince back can reduce the enemy's vigilance...
Zu Ban grinned, "They all felt that the Han Dynasty had just obtained so many territory and would not attack again in the short term. At this time, they would not be able to let people go back and tell them about their thoughts of getting along harmoniously.
I thought we would attack with a large army...\n:"
Zu Ban's smile always looks a little sinister.
Liu Taozi agreed deeply.
"Okay, let's follow what my ancestor said."
The official road leading to Xiazhou has been repaired many times.
With the heavy maintenance of the temple, Xiazhou's traffic problems have finally been well alleviated.
And now there are many horse and carriages coming and going on the official road, endlessly.
The entire Han Dynasty was quietly preparing for this war, and a large amount of supplies were transported to Xiazhou. In name, these people went to Xiazhou to build an palace there.
After all, it is reasonable that Liu Taozi needs a palace to stay in Xiazhou.
The thieves on this road have long disappeared.
Among many teams, a carriage escorted by cavalry seems particularly special.
Prince Yuwen Zan sat in the car timidly, the fear and helplessness in his eyes were so clear and pitying.
Xu Guogong Yuwen Shan sat beside him, gently holding his hand, constantly comforting him.
"Your Highness, don't panic. I'm sure the thief will not dare to commit murder on your Highness."
"Everyone goes east, why are you leaving me alone?"
"Don't deceive me anymore. Could it be that Grandpa sent troops and Liu Taozi wanted to threaten me?"
Yuwen Zan expressed his guess, and Yuwen Shan was silent immediately.
"Your Highness, you really don't have to worry too much."
"Since we were captured, the Han army has been quite polite to us and has never humiliated us... :.\n. If you see the King of Han later, please do not be impulsive, do not take risks, and do not anger him...
""
Yuwen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"I understand, don't worry."
Yuwen Shan nodded, and looked at the prince with a little pity. What a good child.
Yuwen Yong spent his time teaching his son. Although the method was a little more intense, he would beat and whip him at him and asked him about his studies and other aspects every day. However, such teaching was not useless, at least
Among his peers, Yuwenzan performed quite well, smart, kind to others, and treated his servants very gently and politely. Everyone thought that this doll would definitely be good if he succeeded to the throne in the future.
Yuwen Yong was not very satisfied with him and had to put pressure on him every day to let him study and exercise more.
The carriage had been walking for a long time, but its speed finally slowed down and then stopped.
Yuwen Zan heard a conversation coming from outside.
He mustered up the courage to let Yuwen Shan take him out of the car.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the carriage had now parked beside a house with many Shentu around it.
There were hundreds of people surrounding this place.
The officer who brought him here was talking to an old scholar with kind appearance.
The old scholar's eyes walked around the soldiers and fell on Yuwen Zan, and then he walked over quickly.
I saw him saluting Yuwen Zan with a smile.
"Han minister Zu Ban, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yuwen Zan was a little moved. This was the first time since he was caught that someone was so polite to him. He even said that he was paying homage!!
Yuwen Zan hurriedly stood up and helped the other party up.
"Ancestor...Your Madam doesn't have to be too polite."
Zu Ban then asked, "The soldiers have never been embarrassed along the way, right?"
"No, never."
"That's good."
"Your Highness is wearing thin clothes, so let's go into the house first."
Zu Ban took Yuwenzan into the post house and asked Yuwenzan to sit in the upper seat. Yuwenzan was about to take a seat, but Yuwenshan hurriedly pulled him and then signaled.
Yuwen frowned and looked at Zu Ban, "Please ask Zu Gong to sit down."
Zu Ban suddenly laughed, "No obstacle, no obstacle, Your Highness the Crown Prince will be the king of the country in the future, I am just a minister,
What reason is there for anyone to sit on the head of a king? Or ask Your Highness to sit down."
Then, Yuwen Zan sat down directly.
Zu Ban greeted him enthusiastically.
The topic has always been driven by Zu Ban, and he guided the other party to talk about the past little by little. Yu Wenzan gradually let go of his guard and chatted with Zu Ban in a passionate way.
From the conversation, Zu Ban learned about Yuwen Yong's strict education on him, and also heard some of the complaints about his father hidden in Yuwen Zan's words.
Zu Ban made people drink wine, and Yuwen swallowed his saliva when he looked at the wine, but he still insisted that he didn't drink it.
At this moment, Yuwen Shan finally spoke and interrupted the two guys' conversation.
"I wonder what the King of Han called us here for?"
Yuwen Zan was a little unhappy. He had a good chat with Zu Ban. If he had a friendship, he might have suffered less in the future. What do you mean? Can you stand be ashamed of me?
But he did not have an attack, but Zu Ban couldn't tolerate it. He said angrily: "I talk to Your Highness, where can you speak!"
"If it weren't for the prince's face today, I'll drag you out and kill you first!"
Zu Ban changed his face very quickly, and Yu Wenzan was shocked. Yu Wen Shan pursed his lips and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zu Ban found that he was scared by the prince and hurriedly apologized. Yuwen naturally wanted to express his understanding.
Gradually, Yuwen also started to drink, and the two of them started to exchange interests and hobbies.
Although Yuwen Zan is still very young, he is already beyond ordinary people in terms of developing interests and hobbies. For example, wine, sex, fun, good clothes, hawks, music, architecture, etc., the two old and the young,
It can be said to be a similar smell.
Yuwen Shan was so angry that he looked at the slutty face of his or her orthods, and his or her priests were so angry that he could distinguish the shape of a woman's buttocks from outside his clothes.
Who the hell is Liu Taozi using?!
But before he could get angry, Zu Ban changed his mind.
"The King of Heaven is about to send the prince back."
"Crown Prince is willing to return to China?"
The wine cup in Yuwen's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Although Yuwen was not very happy in Zhou Kingdom and was beaten by his grandfather every day, he was better than being a prisoner!
Send yourself back?
Is this a test?
Yuwen Zan didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Zu Ban continued, "Does Your Highness not want to go back?"
"No!"
Yuwen Zan immediately said, "If the Heavenly King can send me back, I am grateful and will definitely persuade my father not to attack each other... and live in harmony..."
Yuwen Luo talked about the benefits of sending herself back in a daze, and Zu Ban nodded with a smile.
"That's right."
"We are unwilling to continue fighting with Zhou State again. If both sides can get along well with each other, that would be a great thing."
"However, the war is not over yet, and there are still wars in Chang'an and other places. It is probably not easy to send the prince to the present. ::. When the war is settled, we will send the prince back to the country. Before that,
I have to worry about your highness staying in Tongwan City for a while."
"well!"
Yuwen Zan regained hope and said cautiously to Zu Ban: "If you can go back, your great kindness and virtue will be great.
Never forget it!!”
Zu Ban entertained Yuwenzan and continued to eat something, and then asked someone to take him to a mansion in the city.
Yuwen and Yuwen Shan walked out of here, said goodbye to Zu Ban, and got into the car.
Sitting in the car, Yuwen Zan finally showed his inner excitement. He rubbed his hands uneasyly, "Are they really going to send me back? Is it true?"
Yuwen Shan frowned and said unhappily: "Your Highness, Zu Ban is a villain. He is absurd and shameless in his words. He should not trust him easily, nor should he imitate him....\n.\n"
Yuwen Zan showed a sincere expression, "How could I follow my example? I just now was just a vain and a slander!"
"I am not a person who is afraid of death. It's just that my mother and my relatives and friends are in the hands of the enemy. How can I not bow my head for them? How can I not talk to Zu Ban very happily?"
After hearing the explanation, Yuwen Shan couldn't speak.
Zu Ban stood in the distance, watching the carriage leave, and then he laughed again.
The one who perishes Zhou is you!!
He immediately asked someone to lead a horse and ran towards the military camp where Liu Taozi was. Now, he can make the next plan.
"You can send it back, you can definitely send it back."
"This child looks kind and timid on the outside, but is vicious and cruel on the inside. He has no talent. He only has some sinister tricks. He also thinks he is very clever, complacent, pretentious, fun, and has little morality... He is jealous of the virtuous and is jealous of the virtuous.
, without any loyalty and filial piety..."
"This person is so suitable. It's awesome to deal with someone like Yuwen Xian!! Why didn't I find him early?!"
"A man like him can compare to a hundred thousand troops!!"
Zu Ting has a very high opinion of Yuwen Zan.
Liu Taozi was not surprised.
"Next, you can send troops slowly to capture Guanzhong and other places, and then wait for new news to come from Yuwen Yong..."
Liu Taozi suddenly asked, "I heard that the Chen people had taken Jiangling. Now the Lord Chen has lost his word, the merchants have decreased again, and the army on the border has begun to increase again... Are the Chen people ready to turn against each other?
"
"Why is Your Majesty worried about Chen State?"
