Chapter 052 Ying Bu's Hat
"Without your father and mother here, you will go to heaven, right?"
"A bunch of bastards!"
Liu Ying frowned. Even though he had a good temper, he couldn't help but get angry and curse at this moment.
The five people knelt in front of him in turn: Ruyi, Heng, Hui, You, and Chang. Except for Heng, the others lowered their heads, looking aggrieved.
"How could you be so cruel? The family of the Grand Marshal sent someone to say something that made me feel ashamed! My aunt even came to my house and scolded me! I apologized everywhere, but the princes teamed up to beat up the ministers' children. What is this? Huh?"
Liu Ying was getting angry, and his brothers lowered their heads, no one dared to refute him.
"Brother, this is not our fault. They were the ones who started beating our eldest brother first!"
"How dare you say that? You are the oldest, but you didn't stop them and even led them to beat people up! Ruyi, I am very disappointed in you! Is this how you set an example for them?"
"Second brother...I..."
"Stop talking! You...you give me your hand!"
Liu Ruyi stretched out his hand, and Liu Ying raised the wooden stick, but hesitated several times and was unable to put it down.
"Brother...if you want to fight me, do it quickly...don't scare me like this..."
"This is all for you!"
"Snapped!"
Liu Ruyi felt pain and was hit several times by his second brother. He withdrew his hands with a wronged look. Liu Ying looked at Liu Heng.
"Second brother... I didn't make trouble with them..." Liu Heng hurriedly explained when he saw Liu Ying's unfriendly eyes.
"I know that you are usually the most stable person, and I hope that you can pay more attention to them when I am not around, but what about this time? Such a big thing happened, and you were not aware of it?? Reach out!"
Liu Heng did not refute, but stretched out his hand and took the stick as well.
Liu Hui and Liu You simply didn't try to argue and stretched out their hands obediently.
Finally , it was Liu Chang's turn, and he also stretched out his hand.
"You don't have to reach out."
"Ah? Really? Thank you, brother!"
"Stick your butt up!"
"Why are they all thugs, but they only spank me? My butt provoked you, why do you all like to spank me?!"
"Stick it up!"
Soon, Liu Bang's singing was heard from the storage hall.
"Today, since you are all here, I just want to rectify the atmosphere in the palace. I will not let any prince go!" Liu Ying said angrily.
"You won't let any of them go? Ruyi, quickly send an envoy to Qi State to call the eldest brother over so that the second brother can deal with him! Oh, fifth brother, go and bring Jian over so that he can also be beaten by the second brother!"
"shut up!"
Liu Ying kept them in the storage hall for a whole day. It was obvious that Liu Ying was really furious. He probably had never lost his temper so much since he was born.
However, for the first time, Liu Chang felt that his second brother really had some similarities with his father!
…
After Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying, Chen Xi’s nightmare group was finally complete.
The third general to join the war was Guan Ying, who used to make a living by selling silk fabrics in Suiyang. When Liu Bang started his rebellion against Qin, he conquered cities and came to the city of Yongqiu County. Guan Ying followed Liu Bang as a Zhongjuan, and then began his life of fighting in the south and the north. Because of his bravery in battle, he was valued by Liu Bang.
He spent half of his life either rushing to the battlefield or fighting. He had fought against Qin, Chu, traitors, bandits, sieges, river crossings, mobile warfare, led armies, led chariot units, and served as a main general. He also had a place in Liu Bang's group of ruthless men. In any case, he was by no means comparable to Chen Xi.
Guan Ying led the Han army to defeat Chen Xi's prime minister Hou Chang at the city of Quni, and his soldiers killed Hou Chang and five special generals.
Then came the General of Chariots and Cavalry Jin Xu. I won't explain too much about this man, but just say that this ruthless man defeated Xiang Yu more than once.
This ruthless man led the Han Dynasty's chariot and cavalry troops to attack Chen Xi's troops in different directions, defeating them one by one and forcing Qu Ni City to surrender.
Then there was Cao Shen, who made the second greatest contribution to the founding of the country. He led the Qi army to defeat the troops of Zhang Chun, a general of Chen Xi, in Liaocheng and beheaded more than 10,000 people.
Zhou Bo marched through Taiyuan County to conquer Dai and arrived at Mayi, the old capital of Han Wangxin. After a long siege, he failed to capture the city and massacred the people. His soldiers killed Chen Xi's general Cheng Maqi, defeated the troops of Dai Wang Chen Xi, Han Wangxin, and Zhao Wang Zhaoli in Loufan, and captured Chen Xi's general Song Zui and Yanmen County Governor Yu alive.
Taking advantage of the situation, he turned to attack Yunzhong County, captured the county governor Chu, the prime minister Ji Si, and the general Xun, and pacified seventeen counties in Yanmen County and twelve counties in Yunzhong County.
Fan Kuai defeated Yin Pan's army in Guangchang and captured Qi Wu'ang in Wuzhong. He also defeated Chen Xi's other generals, the Xiongnu army and Wang Huang's army in the south of Dai County, and took the opportunity to attack Han Wangxin's army in Chanhe, where his army killed Han Wangxin.
At this point, Liu Bang's group of tough guys was finally gathered. Except for the three generals, almost all the others who could come came. The rebels in the Zhaodai area were beaten badly.
With their combined efforts, Chen Xi couldn't hold out for long. They kept attacking and Chen Xi was always defeated. The Zhaodai area was soon recovered, Chen Xi's army was completely defeated, and he himself began to flee.
At this time, Liu Bang also felt that it was time to go back. He handed over the aftermath to Zhou Bo, who had performed very well in this battle, and returned to Chang'an first.
Empress Lü was waiting for him in Luoyang, and the two were going to go back together.
…
Empress Lu read the silk book in her hand with a calm expression, without any sign of change.
"Let him give up his original plan... Don't be impatient, wait for the right opportunity... Don't miss any chance..."
After giving a few serious instructions, Lu Hou burned the letter and asked the warrior in front of her to leave.
The warriors hurried away in the direction of Huainan State.
No one knew what Empress Lü was thinking, but she did arrange her own people around all the princes of different surnames, so that they could clearly know their every move and their words and deeds. If Peng Yue had not left that night, Empress Lü would definitely have known that Liu Chang had met Peng Yue in advance.
Empress Lü has always been committed to getting rid of the princes of the opposite sex, perhaps for Liu Ying, or perhaps just for the sake of the Han Dynasty, because it was not only Empress Lü who had such thoughts, but also Xiao He. Liu Bang also thought so.
Wouldn't he understand that Peng Yue had no intention of rebelling? Even if he had misunderstood it before, wouldn't the officials have seen it later when they reviewed the matter?
Perhaps Liu Bang knew the truth very well, but he was unwilling to expose it. So what was wrong with using this reason to get rid of a vassal king of a different surname?
As for the first time Liu Bang showed mercy to Peng Yue, it was more like it was because of his guilt.
…
Huainan State, six counties.
In a private house, a doctor was treating a young and beautiful woman.
After checking the woman's condition, the doctor earnestly advised: "Your condition is much better than before. You need to change your medicine, but I don't have many of them here. I will find them for you as soon as possible. Please follow my instructions and take the medicine on time. If you continue like this, you will get better soon."
"Thank you very much."
The woman smiled and nodded, then asked the maid beside her to present a gift.
The two were talking when a man came to pay his respects. He was not alone, but brought many attendants and gifts with him. He stood respectfully in front of the woman and bowed to her.
The woman was a little surprised. "Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"
"I am the senior official Ben He. My residence is next door. I heard that you were receiving treatment here, so I came to visit you. This is the small gift I prepared..."
Ben He had all the gifts delivered. The doctor obviously knew this neighbor. He smiled and greeted him. He took the initiative to introduce him to the princess, saying, "Doctor Zhong treats people with sincerity. Although he just moved in not long ago, he is very kind to the neighbors around him. He is a very reliable person."
The princess smiled and said, "If you want to make the king value you by giving me gifts, I'm afraid you won't succeed."
"I came to see you only because I am a subject's duty, not to flatter you... and I have no intention of gaining your respect..."
"I have prepared some good wine for you... Doctor Zhang, I wonder if the princess can drink?"
"I can drink a little."
The princess often came here to see a doctor. Every time she came, the doctor would come to see her and give her gifts. The princess always accepted the gifts, which made her feel uneasy. So one day, when she was drinking with Ying Bu, she smiled and said, "Doctor Ben He is such a loyal and honest man!"
Ying Bu's face changed drastically.
"You have never met him in the palace, how do you know he is a loyal and honest person?"
"Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand me... When I went to see the doctor, Doctor Zhong's house was next door... He often sent me gifts... and drank with me..."
"you……"
Ying Bu's face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
