"Prince, do you think they are too arrogant?"
Li Shiqi pointed at the little boys who were chatting, his face full of worry, fearing that they would cause big trouble.
"Angry? If you don't have a lot of energy, can you still call yourself a young man?" Liu Ying snorted. This old man simply didn't know what to say. He just gave up on his bad idea and came to teach himself a lesson!
Liu Ying was too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked directly to the middle of the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, full of emotion.
"You are all fine, I'm very happy! If our elders don't live up to expectations, we should shoulder more responsibilities. As a son of man, although we can't choose who our father is, we can choose what kind of person we become!"
"Everyone should read more, be sensible, be useful people, and do the right things. We must not imitate some people, idle around, and do not do their jobs. They talk big words everywhere, fight, gamble, and drink alcohol. As a new generation of young men, we must Show off the styles of different fathers."
Li Shiqi's old face slumped, no matter how he sounded, he sounded like a king in the inner world...
But the little ones listened very seriously and nodded in agreement.
That's right, as long as dog parents are of some use, it's not as if they are of no use at all!
"I have prepared a banquet for everyone to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust. Let's eat first and have a night's rest. We will start working tomorrow!"
The cubs agreed in unison, howling and rushing towards the living room.
In order to entertain them, Liu Ying prepared five big black dogs and used the Fan family's secret stew recipe, which was so delicious.
The little cubs' eyes were shining as they devoured their food, and their cheeks bulged, like a group of hamster spirits. Before I could swallow it, I couldn't wait to grab a piece, for fear of being snatched away.
After some fighting and fighting, his stomach was almost full, and he started talking nonsense again, saying that Xiang Yu was not worth mentioning, so he must cut off his dog's head and snatch his Wu Zui. Why else would the king not know how to employ people, so he would leave so many talented people unused and simply support the crown prince to succeed him...
Li Shiqi shook his head repeatedly, wishing to throw out all the words that were poured into his ears. You are so bold, you dare to say anything!
Lu Ze, on the other hand, had a smile on his lips, which was not surprising at all.
We can't say that Hao is different, we can only say that they are exactly the same.
It's strange to say that when Liu Ji was like this, he despised him. If his father hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have agreed to his sister's marriage... But now that he sees his nephew like this, he can only like him. This is a good boy who can do great things. !
Lu Ze happily shouldered the responsibility of the crown prince's eunuch, and the entire defense of Luoyang and surrounding areas fell on him.
In the previous battle of Xiayi, the Lu family suffered heavy losses, almost to the point where they were almost wiped out.
Anyone who can survive can be regarded as the elite among the elite. Lu Ze actively recruits soldiers, selects young men, enriches the troops, and accumulates weapons and food. The strength of the Lu family is recovering rapidly.
At the same time, Zhang Liang also returned from Hengshan Kingdom and met Liu Bang.
"Your Majesty, Wu Rui asked his ministers to bring a letter and was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty. However, Hengshan is a small and poor country with few soldiers and horses. It can only protect itself and cannot send troops to contain Xiang Yu."
Liu Bang took the letter of credence with a smile and said casually: "I didn't expect him to send troops. The key is food and grass. Can he cut off the supply and not give it to Xiang Yu?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Wu Rui was not only willing, but also promised to write a letter to Linjiang Wang Gong'ao, asking him not to follow Xiang Yu."
"Yeah?"
Liu Bang was overjoyed, and Xiang Yu enfeoffed eighteen princes. There were four kings in the old land of Chu. In addition to Xiang Yu, they were King Yingbu of Jiujiang, King Wu Rui of Hengshan, and King Gongao of Linjiang.
Now that both Yingbu and Wu Rui are on Liu Bang's side, only Gongao, the king of Linjiang, is left. If he is also won over, Xiang Yu will really become a loner.
"Mr. Zifang, is Gong Ao willing to return to the Han Dynasty?"
Zhang Liang looked solemn and shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, as a minister, Gong Ao was born in a noble family of Chu State, and now he is enfeoffed in the old capital of Chu State. He doesn't get along with Xiang Yu, but he may not have the intention to return to the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bang frowned and suddenly said: "Does he want to restore the old system of the Six Kingdoms and become the King of Chu himself?"
Zhang Liang nodded.
Liu Bang suddenly became furious. He slapped the table and cursed loudly, "Six countries, six countries, what's so good about the six countries? How come one or two of them want to restore the six countries?"
Zhang Liang was startled, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"
Liu Bang sighed and told Zhang Liang what Li Shiqi had suggested and what Liu Ying refuted.
After Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, the prince has learned the lesson, otherwise things would have been ruined!"
Liu Bang rolled his eyelids and muttered: "Without that fool, I wouldn't have been fooled, no!"
Zhang Liang just laughed, since he was stopped anyway, there was no need to worry.
After a moment of silence, Liu Bang raised his head again and said, "Mr. Zifang, I sincerely ask for advice. Is it really advisable to restore the Six Kingdoms?"
Zhang Liang looked solemn and pondered for a long time before saying: "I used to be a minister of South Korea. In order to avenge the destruction of the country, I assassinated the First Emperor in Bolangsha. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their troops to revolt, I traveled east and west again, aiming to restore the country. But these years When I came down, I had a different view. Xiang Yu enfeoffed the princes and tried to conquer the world with force, but war broke out and the world could not have peace for a moment. This shows that the unification of the world is the general trend and is irreversible."
Liu Bang listened silently and nodded repeatedly. Zhang Liang said this, which shows that he is right.
"It's just that the world has not been unified for long, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are still there. There are always people who can't see the overall situation and have delusions." Zhang Liang sighed: "Gong Ao and Li Sheng are all such people. But the prince was under Feiqiu City. That discussion made me think differently."
"Oh? Tell me." Liu Bang leaned forward and asked.
Zhang Liangdao: "The prince distinguished the people of the New Qin and the people of the Old Qin. I thought that the people of the Old Qin were against the people of the Six Kingdoms, and the people of the New Qin were Han when they entered the Han Dynasty... The Six Kingdoms have been destroyed, the Qin State has collapsed, and the world is always full of people. New people are replacing old people, the New Qin people are getting bigger and bigger, and the Han people are getting more and more. One day, no one will mention the dream of restoring the Six Kingdoms anymore."
Liu Bang took a deep breath, thoughtfully, and after a long time, he scratched his beard and smiled happily.
"According to what Mr. Wang said, this great man in the world will fall on that Zhuzi?"
Zhang Liang bowed and said, "It belongs to the prince's generation."
Liu Bang smiled and said: "It's almost the same. After all, this son of the widow has some abilities, much better than the rotten scholar."
The old gangster's face was full of pride, and he added: "Mr. Zifang, now the overall situation has been decided. I will deal with Xiang Yu in Xingyang. You can go to Luoyang."
"Luoyang? Let me assist the prince?"
"Well, watch that little boy for me." As he said, Liu Bang grabbed a wooden stick from the side and handed it to Zhang Liang, "If that little boy is disobedient, take this stick and teach him a lesson for me! Give him a lesson!" Fight, no need to show mercy."
Zhang Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm different from you, okay?
But speaking of which, Zhang Liang was good at strategy, and he was not as skilled as Chen Ping and others in specific conspiracy calculations and intrigues.
Staying in Xingyang won't help much, so it's better to go to Luoyang and assist Liu Ying.
"In this case, I will take my leave."
Zhang Liang set off immediately and rushed towards Luoyang.
When he arrived at the east gate, he planned to go in, but found an interesting scene. He saw a young man holding an abacus and leading a few soldiers to stop a convoy.
"Stop, there is something wrong with your accounts and they need to be rechecked!" the young man said with a sullen face.
The motorcade didn't stop, but someone stuck his head out and said to the young man: "Guan's son, don't you recognize me?"
The speaker was Lu Shizhi, Lu Ze’s younger brother, Lu Fei’s elder brother, and Liu Ying’s second uncle!
"We know you!" Guan A said solemnly with a sullen face.
"Why check if we know each other? We are all members of our own family, how can I cheat the king?" After saying that, Lu Shizhi asked his men to drive forward without caring at all.
Guan A on the side was furious. He just waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward. They lifted the curtain of the car with a sharp long knife and directly blocked Lu Shizhi.
Lu Shizhi was shocked and said angrily: "Shuzi, do you want to rebel?"
Guan Aheng said: "Rebellion? Violation of laws is rebellion! We enforce the law impartially!"
With that said, Guan'a waved his hand again, and the soldier actually directly lifted Lu Shizhi out.
Then he ordered all carriages to be seized and the goods on them to be counted.
After an hour of busy work, the calculation was finally clear, and Guan'a clicked his tongue and said: "There are fifty bolts of silk missing... As expected, you unsatisfactory elders will only corrupt the law and rule the big man, and you still have to look at us. Promising young!"
