Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 884

"Captain!!"

"I can't do it!!!"

Chen Tao's face was full of despair, looking at Han Xin who was still smiling in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Han Xin shook his head, "Don't be modest, I used to belittle you and didn't see your abilities, but I can see clearly when I get along with you these days, no wonder Liu An said this is the art of cultivating immortals. Just in Shangfang, your abilities are indeed indistinguishable from ghosts and gods!"

Chen Tao would rather the Taiwei despise him.

The Taiwei thinks highly of them at the moment. In these days, the Taiwei began to give full play to his imagination and made a little request to Shang Fang. At first, Shang Fang was able to realize their ideas, like a landmine. , Delayed detonation, including firearms and artillery sights, fast loading, making the artillery mobile, etc. But after Han Xin tasted this taste, he began to let himself go gradually, and the requirements became more and more outrageous , Shang Fang can no longer complete his ideas.

At this moment, Han Xin actually asked them to make an aircraft that could carry soldiers over the mountains.

Chen Tao was completely dumbfounded, we couldn't even do the running on the ground, you let us do the flying in the sky? ?

But Han Xin felt that they would definitely be able to do it.

"Didn't you show it to me earlier? That thing that can go up to the sky when it is lit, if it is made big, can't it take soldiers to fly?"

What Han Xin was talking about was the hot air balloon. This technology did not come from Shangfang, but from the Prince’s Mansion. Liu An’s disciples studied for a long time, and came up with a very simple device, which sewed cowhide onto the fixed equipment. A fire was lit on the equipment, and the air inside the cowhide was continuously burned, so the cowhide ball began to take the equipment into the air. Liu An thought it was related to the air, and believed that hot air should be lighter than cold air, so it can generate buoyancy.

The prince's disciples were deeply convinced and devoted themselves to research in this field.

It was originally just a small toy in the prince's mansion, but after it was passed on to Shangfang, Shangfang improved it so that it could rise to a higher position. Han Xin saw their research, so Han Xin had this The idea is to let the hot air balloon fly with soldiers, control the rise and fall, and control its direction. This is very useful in warfare. Not to mention reconnaissance and the like, just drop explosives at a sufficient height, Who can stand this? ?

If a hot air balloon is made large enough, wouldn't it be possible to bring hundreds of people to the opponent's back?

Han Xin had many ideas, but the problem was that he wanted Shang Fang to do it for him.

Chen Tao was stunned, it's good that this thing can float, but how can it be so attractive?Besides, how will this person get down after he goes up?What if it exploded in mid-air?There are still many, many problems, which are not as simple as Han Xin thought!
The problem of the flame alone is difficult to solve. Unless a device that can breathe fire is made, otherwise it will generate heat that will float a group of soldiers. How much fire must be put on it!

Not only Chen Tao, but also the craftsmen around him all looked distressed.

The Taiwei came to cover them, which is of course very good. Since the Taiwei came to Shangfang, no one dared to bully them, and no one dared to comment on Shangfang. In the past, ministers often reported that Shangfang wasted money for the country. Yes, but now I dare not say anything.

Although there are benefits, but the Taiwei's whimsical ideas are really terrible.

Chen Tao had no choice but to explain the principle to Han Xin, and Han Xin listened very carefully to the difficulties involved. After he finished speaking, Han Xin said: "I understand that these things are really not easy, but you can do it freely, even if you can't do it." Come out, I will not blame you, if it is done, I will personally write a letter to the emperor, let him reward you, by the way, if someone says that you are wasting money, just let me know."

Chen Tao couldn't refute anymore, so he nodded in agreement.

Liu Chang arranged a brand new mansion for Han Xin in Chang'an. This mansion is much bigger than the mansion Han Xin used to live in, and the interior is quite luxurious. This time it was really built according to the princely level, and This mansion is very close to the imperial palace, and Liu Chang can arrive here in a short car.Han Xin was not so satisfied with his new mansion. The main reason was that the mansion was too big. Han Xin found it troublesome to walk back to the back room. Moreover, such a big mansion, with not many people, seemed empty and boring.

Han Xin wandered back to his mansion, looked at the still unfamiliar interior, muttered a few words, and was about to go into the inner room to sleep.

But Han Xin didn't get what he wanted, because when he walked into the inner room, a big wild boar was sitting on his bed, flipping through his military book with impunity.

Seeing the master came back, Liu Chang really didn't see him at all. He hurriedly got up, smiled and helped Han Xin to sit down beside him.

Those who didn't know thought it was Liu Chang's mansion.

Liu Chang has maintained this anti-customer-oriented lifestyle for many years, and everyone has long been familiar with it.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Nonsense, this is my mansion, where would I go if I don't come here?"

"I thought you would still live in Shangfang Mansion."

"It's you, why are you here??"

"Aren't I looking for a clean place to study? Reading is a good thing."

Han Xin squinted his eyes, wondering if he believed his explanation, but he made people put away his tactics, but Liu Chang secretly hid the tactics in his sleeves, and then said: "As expected of the master, you wrote I’ve seen the military tactics of the navy, and it’s very good. I’ll take it back and read it for a few more days. I think it’s time to change the name. The big man is not building a navy, but a navy. In the past, he just patrolled in various rivers. Surroundings, catching water thieves, but now you are going to sail to overseas places, so your art of war should also be renamed."

"No change."

"Why?"

"If I change my name, I'm afraid it won't be my art of war, and I'll have to be deceived by someone"

Liu Chang was very puzzled by this, "Ah? How is it possible? You wrote this in the first place, so can someone steal your book? With me here, you don't have to worry about this!"

"It's you I'm worried about!"

Han Xin put away the rest of the art of war and asked, "Apart from marking your own name, what else do you want?"

"Oh, there is also the matter of Shangfang Mansion."

Liu Chang said with a smile: "These days, Chen Tao has been tortured by you a lot, master, this person is not young, but he can't stand such torture."

"I just gave him some advice."

"I've heard it all. You asked him to make a plane, right? So, as expected of Master, I thought it was too much for me to let him take a train. You actually let him make a plane. It's a good thing you didn't let him do it. a missile or something"

Han Xin said seriously: "In fact, there are many inventions. They think they are useless, but I think they can be applied in warfare. They made a toy that can float after lighting a fire, but they didn't find it. The magical effect of the gunpowder, and the new gunpowder that burns extremely dazzlingly, this thing is best used to fight cavalry.”

Han Xin said a lot of things one after another. These things have their own uses in Han Xin's eyes, but they were buried by Shang Fang.

Liu Chang was thoughtful, "Hot air balloons. You said that you asked them to make a hot air balloon with people flying up? This is feasible."

Liu Chang gently stroked his beard, "As long as the buoyancy is strong enough, if you can make an airship or something, you can really bring a lot of soldiers and parachute directly behind the enemy."

Han Xin was taken aback, "Do you have a way to do it??"

"I dare not say that it can be done, but I can give them a lot of suggestions. Maybe it can be done."

While the two were chatting, Liu Jie's shout suddenly came from outside, and they both looked at the door at the same time.

Liu Ye walked in very happily. Like Liu Chang, she didn't need to report wherever she went, she just ran in. But after she bumped in, she was surprised to find that her father was also here. She rushed over happily, and Liu Chang smiled and let her sit beside her.

"Why are you here too?"

Liu Jing said proudly, "I'm here to learn the art of war from my father!"

Liu Chang glanced at Han Xin, "I've been scolded for so long for using this art of war, but she can come directly to learn it?"

Han Xinxin started, "She won't write her name on my art of war, besides, she will come to Funan to learn some naval warfare, isn't it right?"

Liu Jing hurriedly said: "Father, you don't know something. I am very hardworking now. I studied politics with my fourth uncle in the morning, and came to my uncle to learn the art of war in the afternoon. Don't delay. By the way, my uncle even praised me today. , say that I have the qualifications of a wise king!"

Han Xin asked curiously: "Did he say that you are different from your father? Are you a wise king?"

Liu Chang said with a straight face, "If I have half the success, I can be regarded as a Mingjun."

Of course, Liu Heng couldn't wait to talk about her learning experience with Liu Heng. She said seriously: "I found that the most important thing in governing government affairs is to know how to employ people. My uncle can remember all the hundreds of officials in the mansion. Who is good at what, who can do what, and who has any shortcomings, he remembers very clearly, he even has a notebook to record the affairs of these officials. I almost recognize all the officials now. Then you know who to let do the work.”

Liu Chang was quite disdainful, "What is this? When I was seven or eight years old, I already knew the entire court officials, and when I was ten or so, I knew all the soldiers who patrolled the streets."

Liu Jing continued: "My uncle also taught me a unique skill. In governing the country, you need to be careful and pay attention to details. When my uncle is in charge of government affairs, he can even go through the specific tasks that he needs to do in his mind. on the purchase of supplies.”

Han Xin looked at her dotingly, "It seems that you learned well from him, and you must study more seriously in the future to become a generation of Mingjun. Okay, then I will teach you the art of war. Come, take this book "

Han Xin took out a book of the Art of War and handed it to her, completely ignoring Liu Chang who was on the side, and started giving lectures on his own.

Liu Chang stayed for a long time, but felt bored, so he left in a hurry.

The things Han Xin said were too basic, for Liu Chang, there was really no need to continue learning.

After walking out of the mansion, Liu Changfang took out the Art of War that he hid and handed it to a soldier.

"Send me this Art of War to Funan Kingdom, hand it over to Xia Houzao, say that I wrote it for him, let him learn more, and then wipe out all the water thieves around me!!"

"only!!!"

Funan country.

This is a border of Funan Kingdom, and it is also the largest rainforest area in Funan Kingdom. There are almost no pedestrians, no people, and no cities here. It borders the sphere of influence of Dian Kingdom, but the two sides never communicate, mainly because This rainforest is very difficult to walk through.

Xia Houzao led a mighty group of men and horses, standing here, holding various weapons, confronting a group of soldiers in front of him.

The reason why Xiahou Zao appeared here was because of chasing and killing thieves.

Xiahouzao successfully made good friends with the local tribes, and persuaded them to hand over the warriors in the tribe, and formed a strong army to crusade against domestic thieves. These thieves were simply vulnerable to Xiahouzao. They didn't expend too much energy, just beat the thieves along the way to death. In order to deal with Xiahouzao's crusade, these thieves even formed a coalition army and wanted to ambush Xiahouzao with great momentum, but in the end it caused Xiahouzao's side The cost of the death of six people, and then the whole army was wiped out.

By this time, the prestige of General Xiahouzao's ever-victorious reputation had only spread throughout the Funan Kingdom, and the attitude of the tribal leaders towards him had changed again. They used to admire Xiahouzao only because of his status, but now it is Because of his bravery, including those soldiers who followed him, they also changed from the initial reluctance to the current fanaticism. After fighting dozens of victories with Xia Houzao, they were convinced and absolutely obeyed Xiahouzao. Xia Houzao wants to lead them to rebel, I'm afraid they won't hesitate.

Xia Houzao didn't care much about the spoils along the way. The soldiers who distributed them to him took great care of them and protected their weaknesses.

These local warriors have never been treated like this, and besides, the leader of his family is the first to charge every time, and no one can stop him. Ever since, his army has become a united army capable of fighting, and there is no fear in his heart. Well, when fighting these thieves, it is almost one enemy against a hundred, and the situation is completely reversed.

The thieves fled all the way to the rainforest in the north because of panic, thinking that they could escape Xiahouzao's pursuit in this way. Many ministers in the country also suggested that since the other party hid in the rainforest, stop the crusade. Anyway, there is no one there, let them Just don't dare to come out, let them fend for themselves.

But Xia Houzao disagreed. He believed that in the face of these thieves, they must be wiped out completely, so that everyone in Funan Kingdom would know that being a thieves is a dead end. No matter how far they fled to the cliffs, they would be arrested and executed. In this way, the local area can be better governed. He insisted on crusade, and no one could stop him. In this way, Xia Houzao led the army all the way into the rain forest. The people he brought were originally locals, and they were not afraid to drill into the rain forest After several pursuit battles, Xia Houzao chased the thieves to the border of Dian Kingdom.

But now, these people who are confronting Xia Houzao are the soldiers of Dian Kingdom.

The man standing in front of Xiahouzao with a knife is Xiahouzao's old opponent in the past, Chai Qi.

The two met each other on a narrow road, and when they met again, they immediately became angry.

Chai Qi's father, Chai Wu, was in Beiting Kingdom, and Xiting Kingdom was at odds with Beiting Kingdom. Xia Houzao had scolded Chai Wu many times, and even beat Chai Qi. The relationship between the two parties was extremely bad.

Chai Qi looked at the guy in front of him with displeasure, and said with a sneer: "You repeatedly brought soldiers to break into our Dian Kingdom, are you planning to rebel?!"

Xia Houzao raised his head and said disdainfully: "Those thieves think you are more bully. Every time I chase after you, I run to you. What can I do? If you have the guts, don't attack me." Shout, go and kill those thieves who escaped in!"

Chai Qi suddenly became angry, and he cursed angrily: "You son of a bitch, you shameless thief, it took me six or seven years to completely wipe out the thieves here, you deliberately drove those thieves away Are thieves entering our country? Can you chase them all the way to my place??"

"Fart! Those are all military merits. I don't have a good relationship with you. Why did I give you military merits? They ran too fast, and you are too cowardly. Why can't you deal with a group of thieves?"

Chai Qi gritted his teeth, "Mr. Naigong is all for destroying the country, can you see those thieves?"

"When Naigong was in Xiting Kingdom, he destroyed six kingdoms, and he succeeded in destroying the kingdom six times. How many times have you accomplished?"

"You are just fighting some tribes!!"

"You're still fighting savages!"

Neither of the two gave way to the other, and the soldiers and warriors on both sides began to push and shove.

At this tense moment, I saw a carriage coming from a distance, and soon came to their side, one of them jumped off the carriage, looked in the direction of Xia Houzao, and walked away with a smile Come over and hug Xiahou Zao in front of you.

Xia Houzao was stunned. He looked hesitantly at the person in front of him who had suddenly molested him, and was about to punch him when suddenly, he thought of something, and even his voice trembled.

"No?? Is that you?? No???"

Xiao Yan raised his head, eyes flushed, "It's me, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right? You are in the north, I am in the south, I miss you every day, but I can't leave"

Xia Houzao was even more excited. He took the hand of his childhood friend, his eyes were also red, "By the way, you are in the country of Dian. I should come to you. I forgot. We haven't seen each other for ten years." yes."

Xia Houzao suddenly said to the people around him: "Put away all the weapons!!"

Everyone hastily withdrew their troops, but Xiao Yan just glanced at those soldiers, and they also made the same action.

"Brother! Let's go! Let's have a good talk about killing thieves. In the future, our two countries will be an alliance! It doesn't matter who comes, we will fight our way out of this rainforest, and we will be like a family from now on! !!"
