Chapter 30 Facing the Steps

Last time, the little eunuch Huang Hao found out that Xu Jing was meeting with Concubine Wu, and hurried to Liu Bei's bedroom to report to Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty, today the Taifu went to the palace to give a lesson to the two princes, and after the class, he talked with Wu Guifei for a pillar of incense." This Huang Hao is Liu Bei's secret agent in the palace.

"Peng!" Liu Bei, who was half-lying on the bed, smashed his fist on the bed, and the bed board through the mattress actually smashed him with a bang. Huang Hao, who knelt on the ground and replied, was also taken aback.

"You did it." Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said. I don't know if you are referring to Xu Jing or Wu Guifei in his mouth, the two young princes were naturally ignored by him.

"What did they say?" Liu Bei asked fiercely.

"The slave maid didn't know that the slave maid was not on an errand in the greenhouse hall and could not enter the greenhouse hall, so he could not find out the specific content of their conversation." Huang Haocheng said in fear.

Liu Bei thought about it, too, this Huang Hao is just a small yellow door, he has no power and power, and he is not on an errand in the greenhouse hall, how can he listen in so much detail.

So he said: "Well, you have done a good job, I will promote you to a regular attendant now, and I will be specially asked to inquire about all kinds of news in the palace, especially pay attention to the news from Wu Guifei." In the future, you will report to me who he has met and what he has said, you know? ”

"No, the slave and the maid thank your majesty." Huang Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. couldn't help but make him unhappy, he jumped directly from Xiaohuangmen to Zhongchang Servant, promoted three levels in a row, and suddenly rose to the highest level that a eunuch could do.

The highest rank of eunuchs in the Han Dynasty was Zhongchang Shi, which originally had only four, but later increased to ten, or even twelve. Although there is more than one Zhongchang attendant, there is indeed no higher-level eunuch above the Zhongchang attendant, and then it can only be the emperor.

Of course, at that time, there was no title of eunuch, eunuch was a name that only existed after the Tang Dynasty, and of course, there was no palm print eunuch, Bingbi eunuch, such as a cow 13 storage zài above 10,000 people under one person.

However, even if the power in the palace was not excessively centralized, there were still eunuchs in the Han Dynasty. The Ten Standing Servants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty are a good example. Although the power in the palace was scattered among the ten attendants, they still colluded and finally buried a dynasty.

After kowtowing and thanking him, Huang Hao went out to do errands happily, and once he had the power in hand, he had to hurry up and arrange manpower, lurking in various places in the palace, especially in the palace of Wu Guifei, His Majesty had already specially explained, and he had to arrange some manpower to monitor that place.

Not to mention the thrilling palace fighting scenes, the camera turns back to Lingnan, where Liu Hou's army encountered the army that Dongwu had been waiting here for a long time in Cangwu County.

Bu Qi personally led an army of 50,000 to set up a large array on the outskirts of Cangwu City, waiting for the arrival of the Shu army. The two armies confronted each other, and Liu Hou drove his horse out to the front of the battle as usual, intending to have a dialogue with the opposing general.

The reason why he dared to come out was that he was wearing a superb inner armor and a plate armor outside, and ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt him. However, he didn't think about it, if the other party shot with a bed crossbow, his armor would actually be no different from papier-mâché.

Bu Qi also drove forward, and came to a place 20 steps away from Liu Hou, and the two stopped and began to fight.

"It's Liu Chan, the prince of Shu Han?" Step ahead of the curve.

Liu Hou looked up and couldn't help but secretly praise a general. I saw that this general was tall, wearing a golden crown, with a handsome face, wearing bright silver chain mail, holding a spear, and a white horse in his crotch, which made Liu Hou feel like he saw Zhao Yun.

"It's me, uncle, who are you?" Liu Houdao, he is very unaccustomed to the self-title of this king and this palace.

"Uh......" Buqi has never heard people call himself like this, especially in the battle formation. Usually, everyone generally calls him an official position or title, such as calling him Jiaozhou Assassin Shi, General Zhengnan Zhonglang, General Pingrong, and Marquis of Feng Guangxin, but I have never heard of such a peasant title.

"In the next step, the prince is invited, I don't know what the prince wants to lead the team to Lingnan?"

Liu Hou rolled his eyes again, this guy asked knowingly, could it be that the so-called celebrities of this era are all this virtuous.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Uncle Buzishan, do you believe me when I said I came to hunt? But what are you doing here, uncle? Did you come to meet me? I've always kept a low profile, you don't need to be so polite, go back. Liu Hou saw that he was handsome and mighty and compared with Zhao Yun, and deliberately said uncle on the left and uncle on the right.

"Hmph, it's okay for the prince to hunt, but why did he invade my territory of Dongwu?" It seems that he is not disgusted by the title of uncle, too, Liu Hou is only a teenager, Buqi is already in his forties, and he has not been polluted by those messy thoughts in later generations, Liu Hou may still take it for granted that he calls him uncle.

"Uncle Bu, it's not right for you to say this, the whole world is not the king's land, now this world is still the world of my Han, Lingnan is also the territory of the Han, as the prince of the Han, can't I go hunting in the territory of the Han? What did you just say about Soochow? Is it a country? ”

Although Sun Quan is not the emperor, he is already the king of Wu, and everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the emperor. Eastern Wu was now ostensibly a region attached to Cao Wei, but in fact it was no different from an independent kingdom, but it was not quite right.

Seeing Liu Hou pretending to be stupid here, Bu Qi sneered and said: "The Han Dynasty has long since perished, and your father claims to be the emperor, but he is really just a grass king, and the territory he occupies is only a state, and he dares to call it a country, and he also dares to call it orthodox of the Han Dynasty, which is simply ridiculous and generous." ”

"Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the Han Dynasty has gone through more than 400 years, and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how can it be so easy to perish. Now it's just because some rebellious ministers and thieves are ambitious and want to seize the world of our Han family, and they are plotting to occupy the land of our Han Dynasty, and our Han Dynasty is temporarily in a corner.

Now that my father has inherited the unification and is working hard, I believe that it will not be long before he will be able to kill the unsubscribed ministers and revive the prestige of my Han dynasty. I think Uncle Zishan, you are also a talent, and my father is the most talented. You are now attached to the rebel thief Sun Quan and acting for the tiger, which is really an insult to the lintel.

Why don't you belong to me, become Hanchen again, and contribute to the recovery of the Han Dynasty. In the future, a hundred years later, when you go down to Huangquan, you will not be shameless to see your ancestors. ”

"Haha, it's funny, do you think that just a yellow-mouthed kid like you can rebel against me with just two words?"

"Alas, I thought Uncle Bu was a smart man, but it turned out that he was also a short-sighted man. Please think about it, if you once submit to my Han Dynasty, then the land of Lingnan will be in my hands. Eastern Wu only has the territory of more than a dozen counties in Chu and Fujian, and one side faces the sea, and is surrounded by Wei and my Shu Han on three sides.

As long as my second uncle sends troops from Jingzhou to the east, and I go north from Lingnan, under the attack from both sides, the destruction of Soochow is just around the corner. ”

"Hmph, are you muddy when I am a million-strong master of Dongwu? Besides, as long as I hold Lingnan and seal the southern gateway of Dongwu, there will be no reinforcements for your labor expedition, there will be a shortage of food and grass, and the annihilation of the entire army will be just around the corner. It is ridiculous to talk about encircling our country. ”

"Uncle Bu, I had several contacts with your Dongwu army in Jingzhou last year, and I believe you already know the combat effectiveness of our army. If you still don't know, you can go back and ask Lu Meng, he knows better. Now, the combat strength of our army is more than a step stronger than when we were in Jingzhou last year, do you think your 50,000 people can stop our army?

If you were to defend the city, it might have taken a lot of effort, and now you dare to go out of the city to fight with me, hehe, you will definitely find that this battle is the biggest mistake you have made in this life. Therefore, even if you refuse to submit to me, it will be easy for me to obtain Lingnan. ”

When Bu Qi heard Liu Hou's words, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he had a very bad premonition in his heart. Judging from the expression of this prince, Bu Qi didn't think that Liu Hou was talking big. He also heard news from his friends in the DPRK and China, saying that the Shu army had powerful firearms and thunderbolts, which were extremely lethal.

Lu Meng, Sun Lang, and Lu Xun suffered big losses at the hands of the prince in front of them. It's just that he didn't take it to heart after hearing it. Because these stories are so bizarre, the weapons that appear in the stories are like divine weapons, what makes a deafening loud noise, what breathes fire, what kills the middle, and what thunderbolt can blow several people nearby to pieces.

If there are these means, isn't this prince a fairy-like figure? Did he think he was the third prince? The most ridiculous thing is that it is said that a warship of the Shu army forced away thousands of various warships in Eastern Wu.

Bu Qi felt funny at the time, this storyteller can't brag, is there anything more unbelievable in this world?

However, today to see the peak of the Shu army, Bu Qi felt frightened, he had never seen a unit with such a military appearance, just now the Shu army trotted out, everyone's movements were neat and neat, there was no bit of mud and water, each squad under the command of their respective officers, quickly arrived at the designated position.

The entire squad does not exceed ten breaths per squad. The queue of tens of thousands of people is neat and tidy, both vertically and horizontally. Just now, it has been standing for a stick of incense, so many people were stunned, no one spoke, and everyone stood straight, motionless, solemn and revealing a faint murderous aura.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, many years of leading and training career made him know that these Shu soldiers in front of him were definitely the elite of the well-trained elite. Even if they didn't have those legendary weapons, it would not be easy for their troops to defeat them. But now he has no way out, so he can only fight hard.

"Hmph, you milky boy dare to brag in front of this general. Just your 40,000 horses, trying to occupy the vast area of Lingnan is simply a fool's dream. My 50,000 horses, as long as your army is delayed for some time, my soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu will continue to enter Lingnan, and then it will be when you die and have no place to be buried. ”

"Believe me, your 50,000 horses, not to mention how many days of delay, may be wiped out by me in a moment or three. If you hide in the city and pretend to be a turtle, you may be able to delay me for 3 or 5 days, but now you are fighting with me, and you are here to deliver us food.

Believe me, Uncle Bu, I really didn't lie to you, I am also for your good, for the good of these 50,000 lives, if you surrender, these 50,000 lives will be saved, if you are obsessed, they will die in vain. That's 50,000 lives, not 50,000 pigs. Do you say that you will go to hell in the future, and you will still have the face to see them? Ask yourself, are you worthy of them? ”

Liu Hou said to Bu Qi with a sincere face. Bu Qi was still a little worried at first, but when he heard it, when Liu Hou said that he would go to hell, he was furious.

"Hmph, boy, I've seen arrogance, I've never seen you so arrogant, don't talk nonsense, Bu Mou is here to see how you can kill me 50,000 people in one moment. It's really ridiculous that I dare to say that 40,000 people can wipe out 50,000 of my elites in one moment or another. ”

After speaking, Bu Qi didn't wait for Liu Hou to answer, turned the horse's head and returned to the formation. Liu Hou also shook his head and urged the horse to go back, and did not forget to add a sentence before going back:

"You are responsible for these 50,000 lives, and when you think of losing 50,000 lives in vain because of today's wrong decision, you will definitely regret it, and you will spend the rest of your life in repentance every day. This is called a lifelong regret. ”
