Chapter 13 Gaps

After Liu Bang won the world that year, he learned that King Wu of Zhou gave the world to his direct blood relatives, and he hoped that these direct blood relatives could come with the emperor to protect the Liu family's world.

He even said to his most loyal Xiao He that even if the princes and kings rebelled and won the world, and the world was still surnamed Liu, there would be sacrifices in his mausoleum.

This is obviously the mentality of no matter what he is after my death, and it is the beginning of the world.

It is clear that his descendant Liu Che has a different opinion on this.

According to the original Han classics, the taxes of the vassal states belonged to the princes and kings, and the county officials were under the jurisdiction of the princes, and the princes and kings had their own guards and could command the county armies under the jurisdiction of the kingdom.

All this made Liu Che, a person with infinite greed for power, extremely uncomfortable, and tried every means to change this situation and finally achieve the goal of monopolizing power.

It is against such a backdrop that the strife in Crouching Tiger Land emerged.

At the beginning, King Chengyang's small show off and gift-giving behavior was slightly changed by the emperor, and it became an effective means to weaken the kingdom.

The point is the armor.

In the Han Dynasty, only those above the rank of tribal commander could be called armorers, because they were covered with leather armor, and their ability to survive on the battlefield far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, and they were a symbol of the most powerful force in the empire.

Later, as the war became more and more cruel, the country became more and more wealthy, and the leather armor became an iron armor with higher defensive power.

Every three years, the emperor would harvest the armor of the vassal states, and he was unwilling to let the vassal states accumulate more standing and strong armorers, even if they had to pay a certain sacrifice, this was much better than the scene of the vassal states being full of armor.

A low horn sounded, and the Zhige Jiashi who was chasing Huo Quai's illness stopped, and the front team changed to the rear team, and retreated to the main formation in an orderly manner.

Yun Lang was very disappointed, he had already buried the ropes in the shallow layer of earth, and once the armorers rushed to the foot of the mountain, he was going to use these suddenly tightened ropes to trip the armorers, and then capture them alive and strip them of their iron armor......

A Ge armor soldier suddenly stopped and shouted at Huo Quai: "The king said: Slippery boy killed my inner servant and favored minister, and this matter will not be closed with Wei Qing!" ”

Cao Xiang looked at the place where the rope was buried under his feet, and then looked at the Zhige armor in the distance, very unwilling.

Li Dang pulled out his knife and said, "Or, I'll go and lure them over?" ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said: "There is no chance, just now it was the best opportunity, and if we come again, we will be unreasonable, attacking the vassal king, and it is difficult to explain wherever we go." ”

Cao Xiang looked at the vassal king who was surrounded by armor and left, and said in a low voice: "We can't afford to provoke those five thousand iron armor, can't we afford to provoke these three hundred armor soldiers?" ”

Yun Lang kicked Cao Xiang and said, "Can you think of some good ideas?" Your Majesty doesn't like the vassal king, but he hasn't let us kill the vassal king yet.

It was because we were not a threat to them that we were allowed to come close, otherwise the armor would have already begun to drive us away. ”

"Boys, it would be nice to be a little bolder, it's a pity!" A gruff voice came from overhead.

Yun Lang and the others hurriedly looked towards the mountain bag, only to see a big man with two young men who were struggling hard, looking at them with a smile.

Huo Qu was sick and couldn't see that he was captured alive, so he was furious, and urged the war horse to go up the high slope, and he couldn't help but say that the spear in his hand was stabbed out.

The strong man laughed, lifted a soldier and sent Huo Quai's spear over, Huo Qubing hurriedly withdrew the spear, but saw that the big man actually threw the young soldier in his hand towards him.

The young soldier stubbornly gritted his teeth and kept silent, Huo Qu was very anxious, so he had to throw away the spear in his hand, reach out and catch his companion, and the black horse under his crotch was suddenly forced, neighed, and took two steps back to stabilize his body.

Seeing that Huo Qubing had caught the young soldier, the strong man laughed and said, "It's not bad, I'll pay you back another one." ”

As he spoke, another young man was also thrown over by him, Huo Quzhi let go of the young man who caught him, and stretched out his arm to pick up another subordinate again.

The strong man laughed, and his body followed the young man who threw him out, and opened his claws the size of a fan to grasp Huo Quzhi viciously.

His hand had just reached out, and suddenly he heard the buzzing sound of a crossbow arrow, his face changed greatly, and his body rushed forward, and he fell to the ground, even so, his ears were hot for a while, and his hand was exactly on his face, and he actually touched the blood of his hand.

With a strange scream, the body rolled on the ground continuously, and after two ups and downs, it was already hiding behind a huge willow tree, carefully looking towards the place where the crossbow bolt flew over.

Huo Qubing put down the subordinates he had caught, picked up the spear inserted in the ground again, and yelled at the strong man behind the willow tree: "Lian Ting, you get out of here!" ”

The strong man looked nervously in all directions, the two crossbow arrows just now really frightened him, among them, the first crossbow arrow was definitely going to his head, although he was wearing heavy armor, he didn't dare to expect the heavy armor to be able to stop the crossbow arrow.

Just now, he could see very clearly that the crossbow arrow that had grazed his ear, the entire arrow had penetrated into the loess, and with such force, he did not think that the heavy armor could stop it.

"Huo Quai, the ballista is not something that your third-rate army should have, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will condemn you?"

Before the sting could be heard, another crossbow bolt was heavily pierced into the willow tree, more than half a foot into the wood.

Lian Yu carefully hid his body and said in a loud voice: "Captain Huo, they are all colleagues in the army, you don't have to insist on watching a certain family make a fool of yourself, right?" ”

Cao Xiang slowly walked up from the foot of the mountain and looked; Lian Zhen smiled and said: "You humiliate me as a captain, this is no longer a personal vendetta that can be compared, even the commander, you are in the northern army, and you are humiliated to the point that I ride the captain, I can only blame you for your bad life." ”

Lian Zhen smiled and said: "It's just a joke, Master Hou doesn't have to care about it." ”

Cao Xiang stopped and said with a smile: "Okay, the crossbowman has finally arrived behind you, yes, yes should stay away from you, so as not to be captured alive by you." ”

Cao Xiang saw that Huo Qu's illness seemed to be looking for the idea of Lian Zhen going alone, and hurriedly said: "To get sick, if you can outwit it, you don't have to be a rival." ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said: "This person is the number one warrior in the five divisions of the Peking University Battalion, and his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, and I am not his opponent." ”

Lian Zhen smiled and said, "Why don't you get out of the way, how about we say goodbye?" ”

Huo Quzhi said to Cao Xiang again: "This person is well-known in the army for his narrow-mindedness, and his temperament is even more famous, let him go today, he will definitely take revenge in the future, so I can't let it go!" ”

Cao Xiang frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to kill your own siblings?" ”

Yun Lang's voice came from the grass: "When you continue to suffer from the chaos, kill it, and say that you were killed by the king of Chengyang." ”

As soon as Yun Lang's words fell, Lian Yu roared angrily, covered his head and face with both hands, and rushed out from behind the willow tree like a bull, and the two soldiers stabbed him with spears, and Lian Zheng stabbed his arms hard, clamped the spear, and with a little force, he threw out the two young men who refused to let go of the spear with their guns.

The crossbow machine roared wildly, and even the sting held his head in both hands, and actually shrunk his whole body into a ball of flesh and rolled down from the top of the mountain.

Yun Lang walked out of the grass with an iron-armed crossbow, and looked at Lian Yu, who fled with a smoke, and said with a smile: "Running so fast, I'm really unwilling, I want to shoot him with an arrow." ”

Cao Xiang snorted coldly: "Since you want to kill him, why did you deliberately miss just now?" ”

Huo Quzhi looked at Lian Zhen who ran away and sighed and said, "Let's go, camp thirty to the north." ”

In one day, he saw two different styles of bravery, which was a great blow to the cavalry captain, whether it was the indomitable momentum of the Chengyang Wang's subordinates, or the amazing stung like a rabbit, these young people felt extremely heavy pressure.

Huo Quzhi suddenly stood on the war horse, and shouted loudly in front of his subordinates: "Give us another three years, and the warriors of the world will bow down at our feet!" ”

Yun Lang, Li Kang, and Cao Xiang immediately answered and shouted: "Let the captain be happy!" ”

The rest of the boys immediately followed suit, and the small valley suddenly echoed with the oath of the Captain's subordinates.

An elderly palace guard of the Nagato Palace Guard arched his hand and said: "Captain, we haven't been in battle for many years, even how much training is not enough, why don't you ask the captain to report to Gillian and nobles, and allow the last general and others to choose their sons and nephews to come to serve?" ”

Huo Quzhi looked at the Nagato palace guard and said, "I will let you wait as you wish!" ”
