Chapter 0013: One Year and Nine Months
A moment later, the bedroom of the Phoenix Hall was already brightly lit.
Liu Ying stood solemnly in front of a wooden case, spread out a huge Kanyu with a length and width, and immediately used his fingers to draw it on the Kanyu.
As for the servant girl who had volunteered to come before, at this time she was holding an oil lamp and standing beside the wooden desk with a resentful face, acting as a human lampstand.
And the handmaid's resentful expression, as well as the slender figure that I saw pitiful, Liu Ying couldn't care about it at all at this time......
"Substitute ......"
"Zhao ......"
"Qi ......"
Looking at the slightly obscure small seals on Kanyu, Liu Ying couldn't help but straighten up slightly, put her thumbnail to her mouth as usual, and gnawed it regularly.
"Go, go to the East Kitchen, get a piece of soot."
With a cold command, Liu Ying naturally took the oil lamp in the handmaiden's hand and placed it on top of the wooden table.
As for why we are looking for soot, it is because: in this era, the customary writing material is not paper, but bamboo slips......
Unless it is particularly urgent or solemn, such as military reports, war reports, as well as sacrificial texts, edicts, etc., silk cloth will be used as a writing carrier, in most cases, whether it is the people or officials, and even the meeting minutes above the court, are written with bamboo slips as the main writing carrier.
The writing carrier is bamboo slips, which naturally means that the writing instrument at this time is not the brush in the impression of later generations, but a knife and pen used for lettering.
Obviously: on the front of the Kanyu with the sheepskin as the bottom and the 'Territory Map of the Kwantung Princes' written on the top, Liu Ying can't make any marks with a knife and pen.
Soon, the maidservant returned to the dormitory with a grieving face, and a garment covered with charcoal, bringing back some pieces of swarthy charcoal.
Liu Ying took a piece of charcoal without hesitation, and refocused her attention on the Kanyu in front of her.
"Let's go down."
"Bring the door shut."
Ruthlessly retreating the maidservant, when the sound of the palace door slowly closing came, Liu Ying finally frowned, and used the charcoal in his hand to draw a large dark circle on the right side of Kanyu.
"Qi ......"
After thinking about it for a while, he drew two circles in the middle of Kanyu, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the two circles in one, and Liu Ying's face finally came to a clear place.
"No wonder."
"No wonder you start from the Qi Kingdom!"
As far as Liu Ying saw at this time: above Kanyu, the entire Kanto land from Hangu Pass in the west, the East China Sea in the east, the Great Wall in the north, and Wuling in the south is occupied by one vassal state after another!
In the northeast corner of Kanyu, the Yan State stands alone, bordering the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Qi State in the south, Dai in the west, and Zhao in the southwest; In the north, it is the Great Wall, that is, the border between Han and Hungary!
The Dai State to the west of the Yan State and the Zhao State to the southwest were under the control of the Dai Prime Minister Chen Feng at this time; Once Chen Xian Tiexin rebelled, Dai and Zhao will be out of the control of the Chang'an Central Committee as soon as possible!
At that time, Qi will become the only passage from the Han dynasty to Yan and directly connect with Yan by land.
In other words, once the Qi State is also out of the control of Chang'an, the Yan State, which is located in the northeast corner of the Han Dynasty's territory, will completely become an 'enclave'!
Dai and Zhao are out of control, Yan State is out of contact, and Qi State is out of control again, which is equivalent to the entire Kanto region north of the Great River (Yellow River), which is out of the control of the Han family!
So, Lu Pheasant started from Qi State and coerced Liu Bang to dispel the idea of easy storage, is it really as simple as 'letting the northeastern half of Guandong get out of control'?
Far more than that!
Only lowered his head slightly, Liu Ying saw: Immediately south of Zhao State is Guanzhong outside Hangu Pass, the last gateway to the eastern part of the country: Liang State!
Hundreds of miles west of the Liang State is the last line of defense in Guanzhong: Hangu Pass!
And the Liang Kingdom, as well as the Huainan Kingdom south of the Liang Kingdom, and the Changsha Kingdom further south, were all kings by princes with different surnames at this time!
Once there is a situation where 'half of the Kanto region is out of the control of the central government of Chang'an', then these vassal states with different surnames as kings will inevitably have variables!
Needless to say, King Yingbu of Huainan, nor Wu Chen, King of Changsha, take Peng Yue, King of Liang, as an example: if Peng Yue is soft-hearted and blocks Hangu, he can completely cut off the road for the central army of the Han Dynasty to go east to Hangu.
In this way, the Han family, which completely loses the entire Kanto region and only controls the Guanzhong region, will become the Qin State when the world has not yet been unified!
What's more, if Peng Yue is ruthless and directly leads troops to attack Hangu Pass, it will directly pose a threat to the Guanzhong area!
However, when the northern half of the Kwantung region was completely out of control, and the Liang State and Huainan Kingdom in the southern half were ready to move, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu and Liu Jia, the king of Jing, who were inserted in the center of the Han dynasty in the Jing and Chu regions, could only pinch mud in the swamps of the southeast coastal area.
By then......
"Han, it will be the next Qin!"
"Guanzhong, it will become another Qinzhong!"
"And I will also become the crown prince of Han, not the crown prince......"
Muttering softly, Liu Ying couldn't help but shudder.
- This is the reason why Liu Ying was shocked when she heard the calculation of the old lady Lu Pheasant, and even lost her mind on the spot!
Empress Lu Pheasant, with no military power in her hands, and even her own rear position was shaky, just by virtue of a letter sent to Linzi, the capital of Qi, she gathered the energy that made the entire Kanto region completely break away from the control of the Han Central Committee in an instant!
The remnants of the pre-Qin Fen VI spent countless manpower, financial and material resources, and spent nearly a hundred years before and after the complete unification of the Kanto region by the ancestral dragon Yingzheng, but now with the flick of Lu Pheasant's fingers, he is ready to re-split back into the post-Warring States era!
"In this way, Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi can only be Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi......
"The rear position, the storage position, and even the pacification of Chen Xuan's rebellion, Liu Bang can only rely on Lu Pheasant's will, and there is no countermeasure......
Secretly muttering to herself, Liu Ying's grim face did not diminish at all, but became more gloomy because of this conclusion.
If someone else is changed, or even Liu Ying herself in her previous life, she will inevitably feel jubilant when she learns that her mother has such monstrous power.
But at this moment, after seven years of puppet emperor career, Liu Ying, who has returned to the starting point, is not happy at all.
Because Liu Ying clearly understands that Lu Pheasant's sophistication and ruthless political skills do not only mean that in the next two years, Liu Ying's storage position is solid.
This also means that two years later, when Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty died, it would become Liu Ying's own task to wrestle with such an old and ruthless politician......
"Whew~"
"Two years."
"No, it's a year and nine months!"
Shaking her head solemnly, she smeared a few black circles on Kanyu with her bare hands, and Liu Ying couldn't help but feel that time was pressing.
"Time is running out......"
Turning sideways between muttering, Liu Ying felt that there seemed to be a figure in the corner of the wall outside the door of the palace?
"Who'!!"
With a loud shout, Liu Ying pushed open the door of the store in the blink of an eye, only to see that the maid from before was sitting on the ground in shock, shaking her head in horror.
"The maid, the maid didn't hear anything......"
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
Looking at the frightened gaze of the maidservant who was so shocked that she couldn't find a hole to drill into, Liu Ying's dark eyes slowly burned out the last trace of temperature......
