Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Fan Jian was speechless and looked at Liu Hong in despair.

"Emperor Gao, I was your father-in-law after all. Don't you care about our old feelings now? Do my Fan family and Fan Xian really have to die?"

Liu Hong just looked at Fan Jian in silence.

Although Gousheng felt a little sorry that Liu Hong tore up the peace agreement directly, he still stood up and snorted coldly.

"Master Fan, there is no need to talk about these things now!"

"The truth will be revealed on the battlefield."

Fan Jian looked at Liu Hong deeply.

"Emperor Gao, you will fail and experience the greatest defeat in your life, because you don't know how strong Emperor Qing's ability to lead an army is."

"Back then, Emperor Qing led an army of 100,000 to the north and crushed the Northern Wei Empire, which had a million soldiers. Do you think the current Han Dynasty is comparable to the Northern Wei Empire?"

Liu Hong just picked his ears and was too lazy to talk to Fan Jian.

If Fan Jianzhen had such strong confidence in Emperor Qing, this group of people probably wouldn't be so anxious to seek peace.

There was constant fighting ahead of the navy.

The Qing Kingdom still had some naval foundation, including the remnants of the escaped Shazhou navy and the original merchant ships in Jiangnan.

However, the coalition forces of Cangzhou Navy, Jiaozhou Navy and Dongyi City Navy could not withstand even a little bit of the attack.

They could only passively defend and handed over the Zhoushan Islands where they were stationed to others.

"Emperor Qing is so pitiful! Until now, you are unwilling to help him with all your strength."

Liu Hong stood with his hands behind his back, watching the coalition forces of the vassal states seize land with the tacit cooperation of famous generals from all sides.

The Zhoushan Islands and Chongming Island were completely occupied.

The strength of Qing's navy was indeed like this! After all, more than 80% of the navy was recruited by Liu Hong.

However, Ye Qingmei's remaining three loyal naval members and the Qing Yu Tang merchant fleet, together, have at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.

As long as Emperor Qing and the aristocratic families work together, they may be able to firmly bind Liu Hong to the border of Zhoushan Islands.

It’s a pity that this group of people are not united!

Fan Xian and others have already found a retreat route and discovered a blank territory overseas.

The navy is their lifeblood, so how could they bear to be buried with Emperor Qing?

There was a hint of shame on Fan Jian's face, but he quickly regained his composure, turned around and left, looking deeply at Liu Hong before leaving.

"Emperor Gao, you will never know what price our noble families will pay in order to continue their bloodline and preserve their power."

"Well, I'm so scared!"

For some reason, Liu Hong became a little sharp-tongued when he led the army in person this time.

Fan Jian was so angry that he left Liu Hong's imperial five-colored ship in a panic.

Gousheng was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, why don't you hold Fan Jian and the others as hostages? If Fan Xian really breaks through to become a Grandmaster, we still have bargaining chips."

Liu Hong looked at the camp that was rising rapidly from the ground with a gloomy look.

"Gou Sheng, sometimes when you use schemes and tricks for too long, you forget about the overall situation."

"You will rise by this, and you will fall by this!"

"It is inevitable that the Han Dynasty will unify the world. Why should I do this? I will set a bad precedent and cause the hostage strategy in the future."

Since becoming the King of Han, he broke through and became a grandmaster.

Liu Hong rarely resorts to conspiracies and schemes or engages in power struggles as he did before.

No need! You can accept the infamy, as every great emperor has received both praise and criticism. As long as you follow the kingly way and act uprightly, no one can say you have done anything wrong.

Gousheng seemed to understand but not quite, and looked towards the direction of Jinling City helplessly.

Emperor Qing personally led 250,000 elite troops of Qing State, adopting the strategy of superior horses against medium horses, and waited for Liu Hong.

I'm afraid this battle will have to be fought.

Emperor Qing, standing on the city wall of Jinling, was extremely surprised to see Fan Jian returning in a rather disheveled state.

"What's going on? Is Liu Hong going to refuse such a peace agreement? Is he still the Liu Hong I know?"

Fan Jian looked embarrassed. He took a big gulp of tea and wiped his mouth.

"No! I don't know what's wrong with Liu Hong. He neither agrees to the treaty nor detains me."

Emperor Qing stood there in a daze for a long time, then he let out a breath and smiled bitterly.

"Now I understand why Liu Hong was able to conquer the world. I am ashamed of myself for not being as magnanimous as him."

The aristocratic families headed by Fan Xian have already found a way out. They are just waiting for the fall of Qing Kingdom and then immigrating to overseas.

However, Fan Jian chose to die with Emperor Qing.

Because he was Emperor Qing's foster brother, they grew up sharing the same milk. Later, he became Si Nanbo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and one of the founders of the Inner Treasury.

He raises the Tiger Guards, has the power to mobilize the Imperial Guards, and controls the most secretive intelligence.

In terms of emotion and reason, Emperor Qing really had nothing to say to Fan Jian.

Even though there was an idea to force the Fan family to step down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, plans could not keep up with changes and were never put into practice.

If that was the case, how could Fan Jian betray Emperor Qing and flee overseas to survive?

Emperor Qing looked at his childhood playmate and couldn't help but feel a little bit of true affection.

"I didn't expect that the one who was willing to be buried with Qingguo in the end was you, my brother."

Fan Jian waved his hands, too lazy to listen to Emperor Qing's attempts to win over people's hearts, it was too fake.

"What should we do now? We have dug two traps, but Liu Hong refuses to fall into them."

The original purpose of the harsh treaty was to force Liu Hong to withdraw his troops while the coalition forces of the vassal states were disbanded.

Emperor Qing led 100,000 elite soldiers to defeat the coalition forces of the vassal states, and then attacked Huanglong and destroyed Kyoto. As for breaking the treaty, people all over the world despised him.

The Qing Kingdom is about to perish, who cares about these insults?

As a result, Liu Hong had a brain cramp and refused to agree to peace talks.

Then Fan Jian intervened, hoping to make Liu Hong have evil intentions and imprison him.

The national strength of Qing has been drained, but the aristocratic families still have silver, grain and private soldiers. Especially the power in Fan Xian's hands is comparable to one-third of Qing.

If Fan Jian was placed under house arrest by Liu Hong, then it would be natural for Fan Jian to commit suicide.

Fan Xian, no matter what Prince Jing has to do, he must contribute his strength to help Emperor Qing and avenge Fan Jian.

Fan Xian, who was hiding in the shadows, might be unable to help but be exposed.

In the end, Liu Hong refused to fall into the trap and let Fan Jian come back.

This doesn't go against common sense at all.

Is he still a human being if he doesn't take advantage of even the smallest advantage?
Emperor Qing and Fan Jian fell into silence.

The morale of the people in Jinling City was low, and all the soldiers of Qing State were pessimistic about Liu Hong's plan to mobilize the whole world to attack Qing State.

The Han Dynasty was defeated. After a few years of recuperation, it could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to march south to attack Qing.

What about the Qing Kingdom? These 800,000 troops are already the limit of the country's strength. If they are gone, there is no way to make up for them.

Emperor Qing gritted his teeth and punched the city wall.

"I don't understand! Why are the soldiers of Qing all discussing the unification of the Han Dynasty, as if the battlefield in Nanjing is destined to be disastrous for us?"

"Decades ago, I set out on a journey from Kyoto and launched three consecutive northern expeditions, causing the Northern Wei Kingdom to fall apart. The world was almost unified."

"Wherever the Qing army went, the people lined the streets to welcome them. It can be said that they had the best of both worlds, and the vibrant and flourishing world is still before our eyes."

"After just a few decades, will Jiangnan become my burial place?"

The more Emperor Qing spoke, the more excited and passionate he became.

Finally, he even roared towards the sky.

"No matter what, the force in this battle is 800,000 versus 600,000. The advantage is on my side!"

Listening to Emperor Qing's passionate speech, Fan Jian couldn't help but frown and sigh.

At that time, Qing Kingdom had people, land, silver and grain. Ye Qingmei's caravan and the three major workshops of the inner treasury continuously replenished Qing Kingdom.

The people in the occupied territories all believed that they could live a better life in Qing Kingdom.

And what does Qing Kingdom have now? Apart from being safe in a corner, it is almost nothing.

If Ye Qingmei didn't have some savings in Jiangnan, she could barely afford the extravagance.

If Emperor Qing wasn’t a grandmaster.

The Qing Kingdom is long gone.

Of course, Fan Jian also understood that Emperor Qing was trying to cheer him up.

If the Emperor of Qing felt that Qing was going to perish, then Qing was probably truly beyond salvation.

"Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty's coalition forces have used Chongming Island and Zhoushan Islands as bases, occupying Songjiang County and defending the city."

Order the commander-in-chief to kneel on the ground and report.

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Emperor Qing, even Fan Jian frowned.

Liu Hong unified the world, which sounds very domineering.

As a result, the troops were led cautiously, and they were stationed in two places to support each other.

Liu Hong is a direct triangle with stability. He says nothing and builds an iron wall first.

Emperor Qing's face turned red, and after holding it in for a long time he couldn't help but curse out loud.

"This grandson! Does Liu Hong still have the aura of an emperor of all ages? Didn't he say loudly in the court that the first battle would be the decisive battle and that the outcome would be decided in one battle?"

"What does it mean to be built into a turtle shell!?"

At the Songjiang County government office, Liu Hong gave instructions on various matters in an orderly manner.

He knew his own abilities very well, and leading an army of 100,000 was the best he could do. Fighting a large-scale battle would be courting death.

If it weren't for the coordination and unification by famous generals from all sides, Liu Hong might not have been able to arrange the military orders smoothly.

So just take it slow and steady.

Anyway, this is in Jiangnan, the base camp of Qing Kingdom, and the war has not spread to the territory of Han Kingdom. What it has weakened is the war potential of Qing Kingdom.

Liu Hong made up his mind that as long as he didn't make any mistakes, it would be fine even if the military formation was too old-fashioned and monotonous.

If we attack slowly and nibble away at it gradually, we can also destroy the Qing Kingdom.

As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, how can Emperor Qing find his loopholes?

Gousheng stood behind Liu Hong, reporting on the army's deployment situation.

"Your Majesty, Chongming Island is home to the Han Dynasty's Jiaozhou Navy and fleet. Zhoushan Islands is where the Cangzhou Navy and Dongyi City Navy are stationed."

"With 30,000 naval forces and 10,000 land forces protecting them, it is impossible for the Qing navy to destroy two naval bases in an instant and cut off the retreat of our Han army."

"Songjiang County's 380,000 troops have already been stationed on the spot, guarding the two major naval bases."

Liu Hong nodded, feeling much more relieved.

Before the battle begins, find a retreat first, otherwise the navy base will be wiped out.

That would not be a southward expedition to attack Qing, but a modern-day Sun Zhongmou, who gave away his life in the battle of Nanjing.

Liu Hong thought about it carefully for a while.
