Chapter 061: The Battle of Fame
As soon as Liu Bang set off, halfway through the journey, he met Xiahou Ying's returning army.
Xiahou Ying held a wooden box and walked respectfully in front of Liu Bang.
When I opened the wooden box, it was Yingbu's head.
Yingbu glared angrily, and he didn't bat at death.
Liu Bang looked at him for a long time and sighed, "Take him back and bury him with his body..."
The turmoil in Huainan happened quickly and ended quickly, and ordinary people almost didn't feel the turmoil, and it ended in an instant. I don't know if Yingbu regretted not listening to the generals and planning to rebel before he died in the war.
Liu Bang was not in a hurry to go back, but came to inspect Huainan on a frame.
Huainan is rich, second only to Qi State, the local people probably don't know what happened, after seeing Liu Bang's frame, chanting for the king, until someone reminds them, they don't know that it is the Son of Heaven.
Fortunately, the war did not affect Huainan, the situation in various places was not greatly affected, the Zhao Dynasty Rebellion ended, and Huainan was no longer Liu Bang's heart disease. At this moment, Liu Bang finally calmed down completely, looking at the people and scenery of Huainan country, his mood was infinitely calm.
It's just that the affairs of Huainan are winding in other places.
After learning that Yingbu had been killed, Lu Juan didn't get a good night's sleep, and woke up crying in nightmares every day.
"What's wrong with the king?"
The princess asked worriedly.
Lu Juan shook his head, shed tears, and didn't say a word.
He dreamed of his best brother, but in the dream, his best 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 smile on her face, and even, after the news came back, Liu Chang hadn't been beaten by his mother for three days!
In the Tianlu Pavilion, the princes were all very excited.
"I didn't expect that the war would end so quickly, and Yingbu would really die!"
"Yes, I thought that this war would destroy the land of Jingchu..."
"Heh, I've long seen that Yingbu is vulnerable!"
Liu Chang said proudly, several brothers looked at him, Liu Ruyi sarcastically said: "Now that Yingbu is defeated, Chang can see at a glance that he is vulnerable, it is really powerful!" Why don't I have such a long-term vision? Father really didn't give you the wrong name! ”
"Originally, what do you know?"
Liu Chang said proudly: "Some time ago, my father and I received the eldest sister in the Jiaofang Palace, drinking and having fun, at this time, my father suddenly sighed, I hurriedly asked, and learned that my father was worried about Yingbu's affairs!" ”
"I told him, Father, you fought in the south and the north, and you were ten times as many soldiers as Qin at the beginning, and you were not afraid, Xiang Yu was so brave, and you were defeated and committed suicide... What is there to worry about? As long as you send a few qualified generals, you will have your prestige, and the enemy will be bold! ”
The princes looked at each other when they listened, and for a while they couldn't tell whether what Liu Chang said was true or false.
Liu Ruyi said disdainfully: "If this guy says something, just believe half of it." ”
"That's probably true, but it's not necessarily what he said... Maybe my sister-in-law said it..."
Liu Chang was pierced and furious, he pointed at Ruyi and scolded: "Vertical Zi'an dares to slander the widow? Outnumbered and not strong! Strong is changed! ”
Ruyi pursed his lips, "At this time, it's better to read a few more books." ”
The princes chatted about the battle situation, and when they talked about Xiahou Ying, they were already very excited, and they were full of praise for him.
"Ahem..."
Gai Gong cleared his throat, and these people came back to their senses and sat down in their places obediently.
"A true virtuous king will not be excited by war."
"War is a disaster, far more than any other, and it brings 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, not an opportunity to show your bravery."
"War is for protection, not for bullying."
Gai Gong told seriously, the princes did not dare to refute, even Liu Chang did not dare, nodded vigorously, teacher, you are right! That's right!
In this lesson, Gai Gong mainly told the princes about the war, and Gai Gong was a staunch pacifist, although his swordsmanship was not very peaceful.
After taking the class, it is natural to practice swords.
Needless to say, until now, Liu Chang still can't take a single move under Gai Gong, and every time he is seconded, which makes Liu Chang quite irritable, and even a little lost his previous self-confidence. Gai Gong ignored him at all, and did not show mercy to his subordinates because of this, and the offensive became more fierce.
"Bang~~"
Liu Chang's wooden sword was picked up by Gai Gong, and his wooden sword easily touched the center of Liu Chang's eyebrows.
Liu Chang looked at Gai Gong in a daze, looking a little depressed, and sighed.
"Master... How do I feel like I'm losing faster and faster..."
"Until now, I still haven't been able to take a trick from you... Am I not suitable for sword training? ”
"I've been practicing for so long, why can't I practice?"
Liu Chang sat on the ground in frustration, did not pick up the wooden sword on the side, frowned, and began to lose confidence for the first time.
Gai Gong stood in front of him, stroking his beard, "To practice swords, technique is not important, the most important thing is to practice your state of mind." ”
"I don't understand."
"The truth in the world is interconnected, swordsmanship is like this, other things are like this... If you practice swordsmanship, you can't back down, you have to believe in yourself, and you have no hesitation, so that you can be regarded as practicing at home..."
Liu Chang was still at a loss.
Gai Gong had no choice but to change his words, "Do you know how Xiahou Ying killed Yingbu?" ”
"Of course I do! Listen to them, it was assassinated with a spear! ”
"Then do you know why Xiahou Ying was able to kill him?"
"They said they were stabbed to death while Yingbu was exhausted."
Gai Gong shook his head, he stroked his beard, and said seriously: "Before death, people are often the bravest, desperate blows, not exhausted... And the reason why Xiahou Ying was able to kill Yingbu was because of his momentum, he believed that he could kill Yingbu, but Yingbu hesitated and was distraught, which is why he lost to Xiahou Ying. ”
"Uh... Could it be because Xiahou Ying rode in a chariot and Yingbu fought on foot? ”
"No, listen to me... No matter what you're practicing, or what you're going to do, never hesitate, don't hold back... If you decide to do something, believe that you can do it! A person with this spirit will never be defeated! ”
"When I was younger, I was just like you... Lawlessness, no one in sight, looking down on any samurai, fighting to the death with people... After messing with things for half a lifetime, after losing all my family, I learned from the pain and decided to study to solve the confusion in my heart... And just like that, I read the book for thirty years... There was no confusion in my heart anymore. ”
"That's what I want to tell you, whatever you do, be persistent, don't give up, have faith... As long as you put your mind to it, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”
"I see!"
Liu Chang shouted, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, jumped up violently, and continued to start the duel with the teacher.
.....
"Bang!"
The wooden sword struck in one place, and Luan Bu's eyes were a little frightened.
The next moment, Luan Bu's sword had already slashed at Liu Chang's neck.
Liu Chang smiled and put away the wooden sword, and shouted, "Come again!" ”
Luan Bu pursed his lips, he had never seen such a talented person as Childe, thinking that at the beginning, Childe was in front of him, he was simply full of flaws, practicing sword with him, that is, playing with children, but how long has it been, if you want to say that Childe's growth, he is definitely the one who feels the deepest.
By now, he has to cheer up so that he will not lose face in front of Childe, Childe's strength and speed are increasing rapidly, and his technique has gradually become proficient.
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of ruthless person he would be when his son grew up? Could it be that he is another figure like a Chu overlord?
When he was studying with his teacher, he had heard others say that the overlord of Chu led dozens of horsemen to rush into thousands of people, kill the generals and capture the flag, and no one could be the one, at that time, Luan Bu usually despised these rumors, how could there be such a fierce man in the world? But seeing the eldest son in front of him, Luan Bu's heart was a little shaken, maybe there really is such a person.
Just when Luan Bu was thinking nonsense, there was a sharp pain in his abdomen, and at a glance, Liu Chang's wooden sword was against his abdomen.
Liu Chang grinned, "Luan Jun, your heart is in turmoil, people must have confidence in themselves and have an indomitable momentum!" How can you retreat? ”
"What Childe said is extremely true!"
"Do you know how Xiahou Ying defeated Yingbu?"
