Chapter 028 How do you know?
"My king! There is no time to hesitate!"
"Liu Bang has already left. I heard that all the Han troops stationed near Chang'an are going to go out. Chang'an has become an empty city! This is our best chance!!"
The scholar knelt in front of Han Xin and cried out in grief.
He could not understand why the King of Chu, who was so decisive and resolute in battle, was so hesitant and cowardly in other aspects!
When he was in the State of Chu, he had advised Han Xin to take the initiative, but Han Xin kept hesitating, until he was captured alive by Liu Bang. Now, he began to hesitate again, saying that he "wanted to rebel, rush into the capital and seize Liu Bang's throne", but he just refused to take action.
"Liu Bang hasn't left yet... At this moment, there are nearly 100,000 Han troops stationed outside Chang'an City. Do you want me to take action now?"
"It's not about taking action now, but about being prepared now. When Liu Bang leaves, we should take action immediately without any further hesitation."
"Um."
The two were about to say something else when Liu Chang jumped into the inner room.
"Master, here I come."
Liu Chang's howl made the scholar tremble with fear, and he suddenly held onto the ground to avoid losing his composure in front of Han Xin. Facing such a disciple, Han Xin did not blame him for anything, but just snorted coldly, "You came quite early today, what's the matter? Were you driven out by your mother again?"
"No, Master, you don't know. Yesterday I analyzed the war in Zhao Dai, and my brothers were really impressed by me! Ruyi even pestered me and said that she also wanted to learn military tactics from you, the teacher! Haha, they usually look down on me, but this time, I really showed off my pride!"
"oh……"
Han Xin, who knew his temper, just said "oh" indifferently, but Liu Chang was very anxious. He shouted: "This time it's true, they are really shocked and admire him very much, I'm not bragging!"
"oh……"
"Hey, it's true! It's definitely true this time!"
"oh……"
Liu Chang was almost crying with anger. Seeing the master and disciple making a scene in front of him, the scholar came to his senses, his face full of anger.
He stood up suddenly, stared at Liu Chang, and said angrily: "I heard that when a minister wants to see the king, he must shout his name in front of the king. When a child wants to enter his parents' room, he must bow loudly and ask for the meeting fifty steps away from the door. How can you, a disciple, barge into your teacher's inner room without announcing your name?"
"I am not his child or subject."
"You! You are a mouse with body, but you are rude to me. You are rude to me! Why don't you die quickly?"
Liu Chang was stunned and looked at Han Xin blankly, "What did he say?"
"He said you were rude and might as well die."
"I……"
Liu Chang was furious. He picked up the bamboo slips in his hand and threw them at the scholar fiercely. "Bang~~". The bamboo slips were relatively thick, and the lethality was not low after being rolled up. What's more, Liu Chang's strength was outrageous, much greater than that of his peers. After all, this was a body that could lift a tripod at the age of sixteen. In history, those who lifted tripods were all ruthless people.
When the heavy bamboo slips hit the scholar's face hard, the scholar cried out in pain and fell down.
Han Xin was quick and stretched out his hand to help the scholar, thus preventing him from suffering a second injury. The bamboo slips fell to the ground, but the scholar's face was covered in blood. His nose was severely injured, and one of his eyes seemed to be affected as well, and he could hardly open it.
Han Xin was shocked and quickly scolded: "How could you hurt someone?!"
"Who told him to scold me first? Do you know who my father is? If it happens again, I will ask my father to arrest you and make you build a palace!"
Liu Changke doesn’t care whether the other party is injured or not. He even dares to beat his own brothers, so why would he be afraid of a little scholar like you?
The scholar was hit so hard that he felt dizzy. Han Xin had no choice but to ask Gu to take him away. It was obvious that Gu didn't like him very much either. He carried him away like a sack. Liu Chang thought the teacher would be furious, but in fact, Han Xin didn't mention the matter during the rest of the class.
Han Xin was very protective of his subordinates, so his subordinates respected him very much and were even willing to join him in the rebellion...
"How do you judge?"
"I judge that Chen Xi will occupy Zhangshui and Handan, abandon part of the territory of Dai, and concentrate his forces in Zhao..."
"wrong."
"ah?"
"You are still using the same thinking as in the Battle of Changping. This is not the Battle of Changping. The invaders are not the Qin people. There is also a restless Yan State in the north..."
"How does he resist then?"
"He can't be stopped no matter what. He has no advantage in any aspect, including manpower, food, generals, terrain, and people's hearts."
"What if you, Master, were to command Chen Xi's army?"
"Then your father will never come back."
Liu Chang suddenly felt that he still had a lot to learn from his teacher. His usual bragging was only superficial, not deep enough, nor vast enough. Look at the bragging of his master, it was natural, and there was a kind of arrogance in the plainness. This is where he should really learn from his teacher.
At this moment, the scholar gradually came back to his senses in the side room. He stared with his eyes wide open, his face extremely red. For the scholars of this era, you can kill them, but you must never humiliate them. Being hit like this by a little kid is definitely a great shame .
He should draw his sword and kill Liu Chang right now. If he couldn't do it, he should commit suicide. He could not bear such humiliation no matter what.
This is an era when humiliation is more unacceptable than death.
But the scholar could not do this for the time being. If he rushed in and killed Liu Chang now, his great cause would be ruined. If he committed suicide, he would no longer be able to assist Han Xin in achieving great things. Therefore, he could only clench his fists in anger. When Liu Bang left and the Marquis of Huaiyin succeeded, he would definitely cut this bastard into pieces to wash away the shame he had suffered now!
After Han Xin finished showing off in front of Liu Chang, he continued his class. This time, it was no longer a simulated battle against Bai Qi, but a simulated battle against Xiang Yu.
This isn't much better.
"Xiang Yu's main camp is stationed here. He sent out cavalry from the left to harass your rear..."
"I will lead a thousand cavalrymen and charge into his camp! Capture Xiang Yu alive! I win!"
"Capture Xiang Yu alive? Xiang Yu is strong enough to lift a tripod. He can charge into battle and fight against hundreds of enemies alone. How can you capture him alive?"
"Oh, isn't it just lifting a tripod? When I grow up, I will definitely show you how to do it. What's so difficult about it?"
"Relying on personal bravery, one can only be a good vanguard, like Fan Kuai, but not a good general."
"Teacher, is Fan Kuai good at fighting?"
Han Xin hesitated for a moment. Han Xin himself looked down upon these reckless men, but since Liu Chang asked, he had to answer.
"Do you know the military merit system?"
"of course I know."
"According to the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, if you beheaded more than two people or captured more than three people in battle, you could be promoted to a higher rank."
"Um."
"Fan Kuai went to the battlefield for the first time and cut off 15 heads, and was directly promoted from a public official to a state official."
"The second time I climbed the city wall, I was the first to do so, beheaded 23 people, and was promoted to the rank of senior official."
"Defeat Li You's army, behead sixteen of them, and be awarded the title of Shangjian."
"Besieged Dongjun, beheaded fourteen people, captured eleven people, and was awarded the title of Five Great Officials."
"We attacked Wuguan, killed one captain, took ten heads, captured 140 people, and surrendered 2,900 people."
Liu Chang's eyes widened and he took a breath of cold air. Wow, this upgrade speed, this efficiency, in terms of personal bravery, Fan Kuai can be regarded as one of the ceilings of the Han Dynasty. Being the first to climb the city in a battlefield of tens of thousands of people and kill dozens of people is really amazing.
Other generals gained levels by conquering cities, but Fan Kuai simply used beheading to skip levels.
Liu Chang left his teacher again, and the scholar couldn't wait to walk into the inner room.
"Is everything all right, sir?"
"I will kill him!"
The scribe said angrily.
"He is my disciple."
Han Xin said coldly. Under his death gaze, the scholar did not dare to say a word. After all, he was facing a powerful man who could make the powerful Fan Kuai kneel down to pay his respects. Han Xin's words completely angered the scholar, but he did not say anything more. It seemed that even if Han Xin succeeded, he would not touch Liu Chang, but he could not remain indifferent.
Fortunately, he did not come alone this time. He still has many followers outside. Wait until Liu Bang leaves and see if you can still be so arrogant!
Shortly after Liu Chang returned to the palace, when he was about to go find his fourth brother to play, Empress Lu walked into the Pepper Room angrily.
"You bastard! What did you do today?!"
Empress Lu asked angrily.
Liu Chang was so frightened that he said hurriedly, "I didn't do anything."
"Kuai Che is a famous and wise man! How dare you fight him?"
"Mother~~~~"
Liu Chang realized that Empress Lü was really angry, and explained aggrievedly: "He scolded me first..."
Suddenly, Liu Chang's expression froze. He seemed to realize something and his face became more serious.
He slowly raised his head and his eyes became sharp.
"Mother?"
"How do you know that I beat Kuai Che in the teacher's house?"
