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

As soon as he finished speaking, the temple messenger's head turned into powder.

The Zhanlu sword flew back into Liu Hong's hands.

Liu Hong stopped for a while, then quickly rushed to Songjiang camp.

A war is about to begin. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the vassal states, he must suppress those arrogant and powerful generals, otherwise they will fight on their own.

It is possible that a good hand of cards will be broken into pieces and defeated one by one by Emperor Qing.

Two days later, the 200,000-strong advance force led by Xiao Zhan had already engaged in battle with the scattered veterans of the Qing Kingdom.

Xiao Zhan's face was gloomy. Looking at the one-to-one casualty ratio, he couldn't help but throw the battle report to the ground.

"Who among you can tell me? In the situation of lack of food and clothing, and even few war horses, the soldiers of Qing Kingdom can still exchange one for one with our soldiers of Da Qi."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhan's heart was bleeding.

These are the private armies of the four great clans, and the capital they use to force Emperor Gao to give in.

If all were lost here, Emperor Gao might really try to divide Northern Qi.

None of the generals in the camp dared to say a word, and they were all trembling in fear.

Only Li Chengze, who was being served by Xie Bian, ate grapes and spoke lazily.

"What a normal thing! If it weren't for the lack of armor and food, I'm afraid Emperor Qing would have led an army of 100,000 to have a decisive battle with the advance army."

"These 250,000 men are veterans who once followed Emperor Qing in his battles. They are also the last of Emperor Qing's family wealth."

"As for the more than 400,000 soldiers led by Mr. Qin, they are just peasants with weapons."

"Otherwise, how could they have been defeated in succession and had to defend Hangzhou City?"

When Xiao Zhan heard Li Chengze's explanation, his heart suddenly turned cold.

Qingguo veterans? Those guys are war maniacs.

The 200,000 elite troops of the Han Kingdom were basically selected from the veterans of the Qing Kingdom.

Xiao Zhan suppressed his anger.

"What advice does Prince Qing have?"

Even though he was very unhappy with Li Chengze, Nanling County was the Xiao family's territory. In the end, Liu Hong made a light move and allocated a hundred miles of land to Li Chengze.

If Emperor Gao had not hinted, Xiao Zhan would have been able to become a king in the future, turn his family into his country, and promote him from a general of a vassal state to the Yingyang General of the Han Dynasty.

Otherwise Xiao Zhan would have wanted to quit.

Li Chengze showed his white teeth and smiled.

"What else can be done?"

"Of course we must defend the city strictly and not allow Emperor Qing to lead his army out of the city to fight."

"With the limited food supply in Jinling City, the army of 200,000 will be out of food after a siege of half a year."

This is a stupid method, which basically requires Xiao Zhan to admit that his leadership ability is not as good as Emperor Qing's.

Xiao Zhan wanted to get angry, but then he remembered the amazing record of Emperor Qing leading an army of 100,000 to launch three northern expeditions, causing the Northern Wei Empire to fall apart.

He pinched his nose and chose to acquiesce.

"Report, His Majesty has led the remaining 200,000 troops and is waiting outside Jinling City."

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, and visible worry appeared on his face.

Emperor Gao has arrived in just a few days! Could it be that he thinks that he is not capable of leading troops? This is too hasty.

From ancient times to the present, many major defeats were caused by the commander's micro-management.

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, raised his feet, and walked out of the camp, ready to persuade Liu Hong.

Everyone knows the temper of Emperor Gao. He is not the kind of stubborn and self-willed dictator.

As long as it is reasonable and well-founded, Liu Hong will definitely accept Xiao Zhan's proposal.

In the camp behind the advance army, Liu Hong calmly readjusted the combat mission.

It would be too difficult for Xiao Zhan to command a large army of 200,000 at one time.

Let Xiao Zhan command 100,000 troops, Uesugi Hu command 100,000 troops, Yan Xiaoyi command 100,000 troops, and Liu Hong personally lead 100,000 troops.

With ambushes on all sides and mutual assistance, Emperor Qing's ability to lead troops was constantly being cut off on multiple battlefields.

Emperor Qing is like Xiang Yu, one of the representatives of military situation, right? He is the pinnacle of command art, able to lead a large army, constantly tearing at the enemy's fragile defense line, and thus defeating it in one fell swoop.

Liu Hong used the power of many famous generals in the world.

Through Han Xin's strategic ability of military strategy, and the command ability of Shang Shanhu, Yan Xiaoyi, and Xiao Zhan, through the tactical allocation of soldiers' yin and yang, and the support of military skills.

Just as Liu Hong said, with all the soldiers in the world and the strength of all the generals, we will gang up on Emperor Qing!
When Xiao Zhan hurried over, he saw Cheng Jushu handing him an order. He took a look and fell silent.

Guo Baokun, who commanded 30,000 troops in Dongyi City, was so frightened when he saw that Liu Hong wanted to have a decisive battle that his eyelids twitched constantly.

I couldn't help but give him an admonition.

"Your Majesty, Qing is short of food and clothing. We should besiege it but not attack it. We should use the method of persuasion and appeasement to continuously recruit soldiers from Qing."

"Wait until Emperor Qing has nowhere to retreat, then take the initiative to start a decisive battle!"

Liu Hong looked at Guo Baokun with appreciation. It seemed that his experience during this period was not in vain.

At the very least, Guo Baokun was able to put into practice the ordinary strategic thinking he had learned from military books.

"If possible, of course! But I have been trying to persuade the soldiers of Jinling City to surrender for nearly a month."

"There are only a few scattered ones, less than 10,000, who escaped from our army late at night. The rest are diehards, or private armies of aristocratic families. They cannot be controlled by us."

Xiao Zhan's face turned red and hot. Their Xiao family was already a powerful family and could easily raise an army of 100,000.

The aristocratic families in Nanqing have no more than a few thousand private armies, scattered together, and cannot be worthy of being in a respectable position.

Liu Hong ignored Xiao Zhan and continued speaking.

"Have you ever heard that a weak army will win? When the 250,000 troops of Jinling City have nowhere to retreat, they will eat their last full meal and fight us to the death."

"Are you sure you can stop the 100,000-strong army led by Emperor Qing?"

Shangshan Hu, Yan Xiaoyi, Xiao Zhan and others were speechless and did not dare to make any bold promises.

Yan Xiaoyi frowned, stroked his beard, and spoke slowly.

"Then your majesty, if we start the decisive battle now, I'm afraid Emperor Qing will escape."

Liu Hong looked at this group of people with some concern and gave a sly smile.

He signaled Cheng Jushu to distribute the victory report to all the generals.

"Ah, how is this possible?"

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"Qin Ye is also a famous general of the time, and he led an army of 400,000 to defend Hangzhou City, even though these troops were put together from all over."

"It's not like we can't hold it for a year. Let Han Xin lead the 200,000-man Han army to march straight in."

According to the battle report, Han Xin had led an army of 200,000 and blocked the retreat route for those fleeing from Jinling City to Hangzhou City.

Although it was not explicitly stated that Hangzhou City was on the verge of collapse, Qin Ye was no longer able to leave the city to fight.

However, these generals could also understand from the lines Han Xin's unparalleled leadership ability and the elite level of the Han soldiers.

They are worthy of being Emperor Gao’s direct troops in his campaigns.

Xiao Zhan laughed cheerfully.

"If we were in the middle of a fierce battle with Emperor Qing, General Han Xin would personally lead an army of 200,000 soldiers to descend from the sky and capture the city of Jinling."

"I'm afraid Emperor Qing has no way out."

For a moment, the morale of these generals was greatly boosted.

I can't help but imagine how many princes will be born after killing Emperor Qing. Emperor Gao has never been stingy with his meritorious officials.

Liu Hong also laughed and spoke slowly.

"Emperor Qing has sent me a letter, inviting me to go outside the city for a chat. He wants to start the decisive battle, so I will naturally follow his wishes."

Many generals hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Emperor Gao is the greatest master in the world, how could there be any accidents?

What's more, there are 400,000 troops outside the city, waiting covetously. These generals are just waiting for Emperor Qing to lose his composure and reveal a loophole!

Outside the city of Jinling, hundreds of craftsmen were constantly building pavilions.

Even though Emperor Qing is at the end of his rope, he still wants to maintain his imperial demeanor, so the style of the pavilion cannot be bad.

The pavilion is named Yique Baoyue Pavilion, and countless white dragon totems of the Qing Kingdom and Jinde culture are carved in it.

It also symbolizes that there are always regrets in life, just like the regrets in Emperor Qing's heart.

Emperor Qing waved his hand, indicating that the craftsmen could leave.

Liu Hong came slowly in front, looked at the courtyard curiously, and glanced at Emperor Qing.

"Are you trying to save face by putting up with it? I'm afraid your 250,000-man army can't even afford food!"

"And there are so many gold and silver treasures adorning the pavilion. If we give them to the soldiers, it will at least appease some people."

Emperor Qing smiled and took a sip of tea.

"This is the difference between you and me. These originally belong to me. Even if I want to give them to them, I am willing to give them to them."

"Instead of being forced by the situation!"

These words made Liu Hong silent.

No wonder the Qing Kingdom controlled the three major warehouses of the inner treasury for decades. It only improved the military equipment of the Qing Kingdom, and the rest was better than nothing.

It took Emperor Qing decades to invent gunpowder based on Ye Qingmei's oral instructions.

Because Emperor Qing regarded these things as his private property, he was unwilling to share them, for fear that others would learn from, imitate, and surpass him.

Just like the Qing Dynasty.

After a long pause, Liu Hong spoke slowly.

"Emperor Qing, do you know why you always lose?"

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, then spoke without hesitation.

"It's all because of your conspiracy and trickery that the noble families have become divided and many of my plans cannot be realized."

"No, you don't realize the fundamental problem. It can be said that you are not a qualified emperor."

Liu Hong shook his head.

"I have summarized the way of the emperor."

"The king walked a noble and upright path. He used ideals to rally the hearts of his subjects and used morality to regulate his country. Even if he died, his subjects would still loyally assist him.

Offspring. "

"The middle king takes the path of tyranny and oppression. This kind of monarch believes that he does not need to trust his subjects. As long as he uses force to subdue them, everything will go according to his will. This is not wrong, but this type of monarch usually kills those subjects who have made contributions, because he knows that there is no trust between the monarch and his subjects."

"Your Majesty, you believe in conspiracy and intrigue, regard political tactics as truth, ignore the development of the country, and play with the balance. A country ruled by such a monarch cannot be strong. It is like a pool of stagnant water, gradually rotting and stinking, and eventually the building collapses and fails miserably."

"As for a monarch who is worse than yours, he is no longer worthy of being called a monarch."

It was the first time that Emperor Qing heard such unprecedented imperial techniques, which were so clear and concise that he could not help but marvel at them.

It seems that there is a reason why Liu Hong was able to unify the world.

Liu Hong looked at Emperor Qing with sharp eyes.

"Emperor Qing, which of the three types of kings do you think you are?"

The kingly way, the domineering way, the cunning way!

Emperor Qing pondered for a while and smiled bitterly.

"It's a middle-to-low level path! Even if I practice the domineering Qi, I'm not even worthy of being domineering. I thought about killing the princess, Fan Jian and others, but I failed in the end."

It is precisely because Emperor Qing played the balancing act that the emperor and his ministers became alienated, meritorious ministers felt insecure, and the aristocratic families were unable to seek power from above and could only further exploit the people from below.

There was no tension in the conversation between Emperor Qing and Liu Hong this time.

The two sides discussed the matter at hand and the reasons for the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Qing originally thought that he would become hysterical and refute Liu Hong at all costs.

But he didn't. After all, he was an emperor for several decades. During his time in Danzhou, he was proficient in poetry, books, rituals and music, and was called a wise king.

Ye Qingmei was misled and thought about getting vaccinated.

Liu Hong nodded slightly and answered with great certainty.

"Emperor Qing, this is why you have everything, and why you will lose everything!"

"Conspiracies, schemes, and tyranny are only temporary. If you cannot return to the right path, you will surely rise and fall with them!"

Emperor Qing was in a daze for a long time, then he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air from his mouth, and his eyes became firm.

"When a strong wind blows down a paulownia tree, future generations will judge its merits and demerits!"

"I have no way out. Let me see what kind of trend the so-called kingly way is to destroy my Qing Kingdom."

The dispute between Liu Hong and the aristocratic families was a struggle between the common people and the powerful, so he launched a reform and redistributed the interests.

The dispute between Liu Hong and the temple is a dispute between progress and backwardness, and a difference in the concepts of scientific and technological development.

The battle between Liu Hong and the four great masters is a battle between innovation and complacency.

And now, the struggle between Liu Hong and Emperor Qing is between the way of kingly hegemony and the way of cunning hegemony.

Facts have proved that everything Liu Hong has done so far is right.

Emperor Qing straightened his body again and stared at Liu Hong.

"Before the decisive battle, I have one more question."

"Why are you always right, and everything I do now is wrong?"

This is what Emperor Qing doesn’t understand the most. Liu Hong is a human being, not a god.

Even Ye Qingmei made many big mistakes, which cost her her life.

Why do so many seemingly self-destructive actions prove Liu Hong's foresight?

Could it be that there really is a child of destiny?

Liu Hong was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

"I am just standing in front of the tide of the times, using history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall."

It has the twenty-first century and five thousand years of cultural accumulation.

Even if Liu Hong made a mistake, he could immediately reflect and adjust because he had received systematic training in Marxist dialectics.

For this group of people, it is basically a dimensionality reduction attack.

When Emperor Qing heard Liu Hong's ambiguous words, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"From the history books, I only realized the unification of the world, but you have gained so much."

Emperor Qing stood up slowly, looking like he had let go of a lot of his worries.

He has returned to his image as an emperor who is arrogant and can survive anything.

Since we have gone so far in the wrong, there is no going back.

Then turn these mistakes into brilliant fireworks and leave yourself a glorious exit. (End of this chapter)
