Faced with Liu Ying's enthusiastic welcome, Guan Ying was frightened.
"The prince clearly knows that in terms of merit, this battle was commanded by General Han. In terms of heroic sacrifice for the country, there are countless brothers in Paoze. Guan Ying must not be proud of taking credit!"
Liu Ying had a smile on her face and glanced back at Shu Sun Tong. There were indeed arrogant soldiers, but it wasn't completely helpless, right?
Shu Suntong hurried forward and praised: "General Guan is neither arrogant nor impatient. He really has the demeanor of a famous general. His achievements in the future will not be lower than that of General Han."
Guan Ying's face turned red. How could he compare to Han Xin?
Uncle Suntong also had good intentions, but Guan Ying even said he didn't dare.
Liu Ying welcomed Guan Ying into Luoyang with a smile, and the soldiers who came with him were also properly settled. At this time, only Guan's father and son were left beside Liu Ying. Guan Ying stood with his hands down, his heart pounding wildly.
"Prince, I am being ridiculous, please punish me!"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "General Guan, Hangu Pass is unusual and cannot be passed easily... Guan A stopped you. I hope you, my father, will not blame you."
Guan Ying said hurriedly: "How dare you! I have thought about it, everything is because I am proud of myself and have no regard for the laws of the country. As the saying goes, if the state has ministers who criticize, the family will have sons who criticize me. If I have such a son, I can be regarded as having a successor."
Liu Ying laughed loudly, "Guan, did you hear that your father said you were a liar?"
The corners of Guan'a's mouth turned up, but he still said seriously: "I will take good care of the dog... It's my father's responsibility and he won't be allowed to make mistakes."
Liu Ying nodded happily.
After chatting for a while, Guan Ying suddenly said: "Prince, this time I conquered Wei, I got a strange man, and I am planning to give it to the prince first."
"Oh? Who is he? What ability does he have?"
Guan Ying chuckled and said, "Prince, please wait a moment. We'll know soon."
Not long after, some soldiers brought in a beautiful woman in civilian clothes and a jade skirt. She looked very young, no more than twenty years old. She has a fair complexion and delicate facial features, and is a complete beauty.
Both Liu Ying and Guan A were stunned. After a moment, Guan A realized it first. He couldn't help it, and he gnashed his teeth and cursed: "The dog father has no virtue! You can't even think of giving a woman to the prince? It's so embarrassing for Guan A." Family member! Shameless!"
Being scolded by his son in front of him, Guan Ying was also furious. The most important thing was that he was wronged!
"General Guan, even if I get older in a few years, I won't agree to what you do." Liu Ying said calmly, her face becoming serious.
Guan Ying hurriedly said: "Prince, you have misunderstood. This woman is not that kind of person...She, she is proficient in Yi Dao, good at fortune-telling, and can judge good and bad fortunes. She is very effective."
Liu Ying was also startled. There was nothing unusual about fortune tellers. Even in later generations, there were still so many of them.
But the problem is a young female fortune teller, which is quite surprising.
"General Guan, you won't lie to me, will you?"
Guan Ying shook his head decisively, "I don't dare to talk nonsense. This girl has been quite famous since she was a child. The First Emperor even sent someone to give her a hundred gold coins, saying that when she grows up, she can come to the court to have her fortune-telling. She even showed it to a woman. The prime minister said that this woman could give birth to the emperor. Because of this, Wei Bao brought the woman into the palace and received preferential treatment."
Guan A was shocked, "Is it so magical?"
Guan Ying snorted, "Do you think Nai Weng is a sycophant who offers his beauty? Just wait until you get back, and I will take care of you!" Guan Ying had found an opportunity to take revenge on this bastard, and he would never let it go.
Liu Ying looked at the woman and then smiled, "Then Wei Bao rose to the top just because he married that woman?"
Guan Ying sneered and said, "That's not true. Instead, the general was captured."
Liu Ying smiled and said: "That's it. You don't talk about strange powers and confusing gods. Confucius would not look down on such stories about ghosts and ghosts... The two hexagrams of Qian and Kun in the Book of Changes talk about a gentleman's constant self-improvement and his great virtues. If he can be iron-clad If you just say that your destiny can't be changed, doesn't that mean that your destiny can't be changed? Since your destiny can't be changed, how can you keep improving and be virtuous? If your destiny can be changed, why should you listen to people's random noises? If she really wants to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages How could he be captured by the Han army with his abilities?"
Liu Ying tortured her one after another, but Guan Ying was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.
Liu Ying didn't find it difficult for him, "Just find some cleaning job, and tell her not to tell people's fortunes anymore, so as not to get into trouble. If she wants to go home in the future, just help her contact her relatives and send her back safely." .”
This arrangement was very proper and thorough, with no flaws at all.
Guan Ying originally thought of dedicating a strange woman to win the favor of the prince, but unexpectedly, he received some teachings instead. But no matter what, he was still convinced.
"I obey."
Guan Ying agreed, turned around and asked someone to take the woman down.
This woman stared at Liu Ying with her brows furrowed. She seemed to have a lot to say, but she couldn't say it. She didn't dare to say it, so she could only be pushed away...
When Guan Ying was sent, the most important thing was definitely not this woman. But those tens of thousands of young and strong prisoners!
"The battle in Xingyang was too hard. All the more than ten county towns originally captured by the Han army have been lost. The Chu army attacked the grain transport corridor several times. Fortunately, the soldiers sacrificed their lives and managed to survive. Now the King of Han is in urgent need of additional troops and horses, and there is no time to waste. .”
Zhang Liang reminded Liu Ying.
Liu Ying also knew these things, so she smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I have a plan, don't we have Zhang Han here!"
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's true, no one knows this better than him!"
Zhang Hanke is not only proficient in Qin's system, but he is also excellent in military training.
In just a few months, a bunch of scattered prisoners can be turned into a powerful force sweeping the world.
This military training ability is not even weaker than Han Xin!
"The military situation is like a fire, please sir." Liu Ying bowed deeply.
Zhang Han immediately said: "This is my responsibility. If you give me half a month, these prisoners will be able to transform themselves."
Liu Ying readily agreed. No matter how anxious he was, he should spend as much time as possible. He did not want these people to surrender to Xiang Yu immediately when they arrived in Xingyang and sell the old gangster.
Liu Ying asked Zhang Han to train troops. At the same time, Sui He and Zhang Cang were responsible for allocating military supplies and equipment, while Lu Ze arranged for horses, livestock, ships and vehicles.
Up and down, everything was busy.
Half a month passed by in a hurry, and all preparations were almost completed.
Liu Ying felt very heavy and took the initiative to talk to Zhang Liang and Uncle Sun: "Two gentlemen, I plan to go to Xingyang for a visit."
Before the two of them could stop him, Liu Ying continued: "Two days ago, I got a secret report from Chen Ping, saying that when my father went to the city, he was shot by the Chu army... He was also young, but he had to risk his life. Yaishi, it’s really not easy.”
When Liu Ying said this, her tone was heavy and worried.
Zhang Liang and Shusuntong looked at each other, but they couldn't find any reason to obstruct them.
The nature of father and son is human nature.
Although the two men dislike each other, they both care about each other.
"Well, I'll accompany the prince to Xingyang."
Zhang Liang took the initiative to assume the responsibility, and followed Liu Ying, taking 15,000 fresh troops and a large amount of weapons and supplies, and hurriedly set off towards Xingyang.
Different from the last time, the smell of war in Xingyang at this time is getting heavier and heavier.
The scattered cavalry of the Chu army appeared from time to time.
The Han army was heavily guarded and fought from time to time.
Especially after getting out of Cheng Gao, it became even more obvious.
"Master, it's not easy for me!"
Liu Ying sighed again, and Zhang Liang nodded silently.
Fortunately, they did not encounter a large group of Chu troops and entered Xingyang smoothly.
When Chen Ping saw the reinforcements, he was dancing for joy. When he saw that Liu Ying had sent them in person, he couldn't help but thank him.
"I'm going to see my father."
Liu Ying took the initiative and went straight to Liu Bang's palace.
Chen Ping hurriedly followed, and when he reached the door, the guards hurriedly ran inside to notify Liu Bang.
Liu Ying stopped immediately, "No need, I want to surprise my father."
With that said, Liu Ying ran inside.
The guard's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Chen Ping pleadingly.
Chen Ping was startled and realized, Oh, King Han, why are you so ridiculous in broad daylight?
He chased after him with long strides.
Liu Ying was chased by Liu Bang, and she ran so fast.
Chen Pingbai had grown so big that he couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Liu Ying rushed directly to Liu Bang's residence, kicked in and out of the door, and rushed in.
"Father, I'm here to see you!"
As soon as he entered in a hurry, he heard a panicked yell, "Get out!"
Behind the thin curtains, there are two figures faintly...
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, turned her head suddenly, and ran out angrily.
He ran into Chen Ping head-on and immediately said: "Mr. Chen, the two armies are fighting, a life and death battle! How can you allow the king to do this? You have neglected your duty!"
Chen Ping's face turned red. He admitted that he had neglected his duty, but the question was how could Liu Bang listen to him!
"Prince, I have given you my advice. I just didn't pay attention. Wei Bao's family sent it to me a few days ago, and the king fell in love with a concubine..."
"Wei Bao's concubine?" Liu Ying suddenly thought of something and blurted out: "The one who can give birth to the emperor?"
