[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

"This poem was designated by you." The second child had already pinned the sword to his waist, and looked at Chen Xu with his arms crossed. "You did it on purpose, right?"

"I just wanted to increase the difficulty of the game, I didn't expect..." Chen Xu shrugged. "So, read more, play less, practice martial arts more, and sleep less."

The machete swung his big knife vigorously, thrust it into the ground, and said, "The game is over, now you can die with peace of mind, right?"

Chen Xu said: "Actually, this poem has a history."

Liu Che: "..." He knows the origin of it best.

Chen Xu didn't wait for the machete to open his mouth, and said: "Taiyi situation, the horse under the sky, covered with red sweat, foam flowing ocher, suave, powerful, riding clouds, riding in the dark, with the same body, galloping thousands of miles, now Anpi, Dragons are friends."

Apparently, the bandits were not as knowledgeable as Xiao Liu, so Qi Qi set their eyes on the well-educated second child.

The second child said, "How dare you call yourself a dragon?"

"He is the current prince. If the emperor dies now, he will be the next emperor. Why can't he be called a dragon?"

Liu Che moved his mouth. Originally, he wanted to say something nice to his father. It would be too much to be so rebellious in front of him. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that compared with Chen Xu, his father was more inclined to Chen Xu. One point, and the current state does not allow him to reprimand.

The bandits were a little surprised when they heard what Chen Xu said.

Chen Xu said again: "I've heard of the name Big Dipper. Although there are only seven of you, you once set fire to the Huns' barracks and saved border cities."

Liu Che rubbed his chin, and speaking of it, he had also heard about someone setting fire to the barracks.

"Since you will help the people fight against the Huns' aggression, you must be patriots who defend your home and country. If so, why don't you do what you want in a place that is more suitable for you?"

Second child: "How do you know that what we are doing now is not what we want to do?"

"Could it be that you can go to the barracks with the Queen Mother?" Chen Xu said: "Now that King Liang's power is gone, the situation is not as good as before, and following the Queen Mother will only make life more and more difficult. Even if you don't care about life and death, don't you want to do something before you die?"

Liu Che: "..." Chen Xu is really a good candidate to be a lobbyist. Looking at the faces of these guys, you can tell that they have been shaken.

"I don't know why you insist on following the queen mother so much, or you can try to convince me?" Chen Xu looked at the second child with a slight smile.

Xiao Liu leaned in front of the machete and whispered, "Brother, I think what he said is quite reasonable."

"Hey, it's so easy to be persuaded."

"Since you can't convince me, why don't you let me try to convince you?" Chen Xu said, "You all have your own strengths, but you all have a heart of patriotism and love for the people. You should be more aware that it is impossible for the court to let a woman act , if you really kill me and the crown prince today and let the empress dowager take charge of the court alone, it will be justified when the Huns invade in the future."

"The queen mother is also a person with means." The second child said: "Why do you think the Huns dare to invade?"

"Where do you think the tax collection is used every year? It's all in the military camp." Chen Xu said, "You should be the one who sees it the most clearly among the six people. Now it's the end of autumn, and the Xiongnu are withdrawing their troops. When the severe winter is over, When the spring grass grows, they will lead troops to attack again, and the Queen Mother has the means, but she may not increase her troops to resist, and maybe she will use the military resources as the Xiongnu to reach an agreement to eliminate the war."

"The Queen Mother..."

"The Empress Dowager has never taken the lead in the battle, and it is very likely that she will do so." Liu Che said: "You have never been to the court, and you don't know how to fight secretly in the court. Those who do not agree to fight, the more they propose to cultivate their health, the more they will rush to the front when the Xiongnu invades."

The second child looked at Liu Che suspiciously.

"It would be an understatement to say that I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid anyway." Liu Che said, "From the time I was sensible, I was worried that Li Ji would get rid of me for the crown prince. The King of Liang got rid of me, and the Empress Dowager is more difficult to deal with than Li Ji, if I can live one more day, I will fight for my own life."

Second child: "..." He actually felt that Liu Che was a bit pitiful?

"You are worried all day long, why do you still want to be the prince?" The machete said: "If you don't covet the throne, you will be fine?"

"Born in the emperor's family, you only live comfortably in the world, but others can't tolerate you." Liu Che said: "Besides, I also have things I want to do."

The second child felt that his heart was shaking crazily, and couldn't help turning his head to look at his brothers, but they all looked at Liu Che pitifully, as if they were looking at a piece of slaughtered meat.Second child: "..."

"The crown prince has always wanted to take back the Xiongnu, isn't that in line with your wishes?" Chen Xu looked at the second child with sincere eyes. "I can guarantee that within three years, you will see who is the real master."

"Three years?" The machete said, "We are going to kill you now."

"Wait." The second child said, "You really advocate fighting against the Huns?"

"If I am the emperor, how can I allow others to touch my land and kill my people?"

"Good job." Xiao Liu slapped his hands. "Just say this to you, I won't kill you."

Brother Machete slapped Xiao Liu on the head: "When can you speak for everyone?" Then he said to Liu Che: "For the sake of what you said, I won't argue with you. "

"Although we don't kill you, it doesn't mean that the Queen Mother will let you go." The second child said: "The Queen Mother is cautious. After all, she didn't train us."

Chen Xu felt a chill in his heart.

Liu Che said: "Since she wants to kill me, she can't send her own people. She must be trying to put the blame on you. After you kill me, they will use the excuse of arresting you to silence you."

"Yes." Xiao Liu clapped her hands. "That's right, I just wondered why the Queen Mother asked us to do this."

Chen Xu sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Since this is the case, we can't let the Queen Mother succeed."

"That's right, since we are all grasshoppers on the same boat now, how about going to your place to play tonight?" Little Liu said excitedly, "All night long!"

"Are you trying to die?" The machete slapped Xiao Liu again. "This is the Son of Heaven."

"Didn't you say that dragons are friends?"

"Do you believe what he said casually?" The second child said, "Don't worry about it, you didn't pay attention to Zhang Qian even if I told you to."

"That little guy." Xiao Liu said: "I lost to me very quickly, and I already got it in one night."

Both Liu Che and Chen Xu were stunned.In such a short time, Zhang Qian has already sold himself?

After everyone agreed, they returned to the hut, and saw Zhang Qian squatting on the side crying, and a young man was sitting beside him with his legs crossed.

"Okay, don't cry, it's just one night, it's over."

"Just one night." Xiao Liu said, "In order to follow your crown prince, I don't even want the little white rabbit that the queen mother gave me."

Zhang Qian turned his head to look at Liu Che and Chen Xu, and cried even louder.

Liu Che and Chen Xu: "..."

Although the wave passed in this way, when Liu Che returned to the court and saw the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother did not react in any surprise, but since the Queen Mother has made up her mind to get rid of Liu Che, she must have other arrangements. He made up his mind to use the few people in his hands to stumbling the Queen Mother.

If the queen mother is too busy to arrange for someone to kill him, the best way is to attack the king of Liang, but Liu Che's current power is not enough to attack the king of Liang, so he has to attack the queen mother's "natal family".

The reason why Empress Dowager Dou is more powerful than the prince, and can even challenge the emperor, is not only because she is the empress dowager, she has King Liang, but also because she has many "relatives" in the court.Although Liu Che couldn't move King Liang, it was still possible to trouble them.In the past few days, they found out their faults and sent them to the prison.

The cronies of Empress Dowager Dou immediately felt themselves in danger, and they all went to seek help from the Empress Dowager.

Liu Che lay happily in Zhang Qian's room, and asked Zhang Qian, "How was your night with Chen Liu?"

Zhang Qian looked at Liu Che expressionlessly: "Didn't they say they followed you? Why did they all have the surname Chen?"

Liu Che shrugged: "You can't follow my surname Liu."

Zhang Qian: "Hmph."

"Seriously, I heard that you were here last night, one night...the lights were on."

"I have deliberately avoided this question, why do I have to ask? I am also a person who wants face." Zhang Qian tightened his buttocks and leaned on the cushion. "The prince has nothing to do, so go back quickly."

"Hey, don't be so mean, I just want to ask, when will I play with Chen Xu for the night." Liu Che blinked. "I saw Chen Liu at Princess Guantao's mansion today. He looked very happy. I really want to know what you guys did."

"You still don't want to play this with Chen Xu." Zhang Qian still had no expression on his face: "You must be the one who hurts the butt the next day."

"Why does the butt hurt?" Liu Che looked at Zhang Qian curiously.

Zhang Qian turned his face away: "I don't want to say it."

"I heard that when the maid came to serve in your room this morning, her clothes were all over the floor. Are you meeting each other sincerely?" Liu Che looked at Zhang Qian's room again.

"Let me tell you, he's just a pervert." Zhang Qian deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words, and then turned his face away. "I don't want to think about what happened last night at all, it's just a nightmare for me."

Liu Che: "Huh?"

"You wouldn't want to know."

Liu Che: "But I really want to know now."

Zhang Qian looked at Liu Che silently: "Is it interesting to dig someone's wound?"

"I brought the camel hair cape brought by the caravan from the Western Regions today." Liu Che said, "Do you want it?"

Zhang Qian remained expressionless.

"I heard that the emperor will mention sending people to the Western Regions to open up business routes in the morning court tomorrow."

Zhang Qian was startled, and then changed his expression again: "Chen Xu mentioned this to you not long ago, right? It's impossible for the emperor to take the initiative to mention it. Besides, the Xiongnu have just withdrawn their troops, and it's time to cultivate their health and rest."

"Okay, give me whatever you want, tell me." Liu Che hardened his voice when he saw that he was too soft, and said, "I order you as a prince, and ask you as a friend."

Zhang Qian sighed tiredly, and said weakly: "That guy whose brain was kicked by a donkey actually asked me to play Go with him. Whoever connects five chess pieces first wins, and the loser wants to play Go." Spanking..." Zhang Qian gritted his teeth when he recalled what happened last night: "It's too perverted to be stripped and spanked."

Liu Che: "..." He regretted asking this matter.

Zhang Qian turned his head again, and said to Liu Che: "I heard that Chen Xu told him about this game. He used to throw dice with others, and he changed his attitude. He also wanted to find a handsome boy. What the rabbit sent to him did to him, I can't stand it, it's the humiliation of my life."

Liu Che: "..." He really shouldn't have asked...

Chen Liu in Guantao Princess Mansion sneezed.

Chen Xu said, "Can you do it?"

"Of course." Chen Liu nodded vigorously. "I'm the best at this kind of thing."

"I'm a little worried about leaving it to you." Chen Xu said worriedly: "Originally it would be most appropriate for Xiaosan to go, but the prince wants his help again, so you must be careful."

"You also know how fast I am, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm just worried that you will meet some little white rabbit or cat again, and forget about the business."

"I won't." Chen Liuchao and Chen Xu blinked. "I think Zhang Qian is pretty good, and he doesn't have to worry about no one playing with me in the future."

Chen Xu: "..." Poor Zhang Qian.

"Hmm." Huo Qubing on Chen Xu's chest called out "I want grandma".

Chen Liu took two steps back. "I think it's getting late, I have to hurry, so I might as well leave now."

"Ah, then go quickly." Chen Xu glanced at Chen Liu.This Chen Liu is very playful, but he doesn't like to play with children. At first, he thought he could leave it to his brother to play. Who knew he couldn't even handle Huo Qubing.

Chen Xu looked at Chen Liu's figure running away, and made milk powder for his brother himself.

After drinking the powdered milk, my brother suppressed Huo Qubing, smack smack his lips. "I went out and brought back seven people. They are all in good health, but mine is the best."

My brother looks at people like he looks at meat...

"You sent him to poison King Liang, aren't you afraid that the emperor will trouble you?"

"Trouble me?" Chen Xu smiled. "I'm afraid the emperor has to thank me."

"Didn't the emperor love Liang Wang the most? Even knowing that Liang Wang assassinated the ministers of the court, he was indifferent."

"How do you know that he is indifferent? He just thinks of the empress dowager's face. He thinks it's hard to do anything because of the friendship between brothers for many years. It's more because of the empress dowager's power and her love for King Liang." Chen Xu said: "I It’s different, I’m a princeling, whether it’s for the prince or my own interests, I have every reason to do the same.”

Brother: "I'm not used to you being so budget-conscious all of a sudden."

Chen Xu: "Haven't we always lived so carefully and carefully?"

"No, you used to only plan for yourself, but now you plan for Liu Che."

"Because I'm a princeling." Chen Xu patted his brother's head. "If Liu Che becomes the emperor, even if there is no empress in Jinwu Zangjiao, he will not attack Princess Guantao's mansion. At that time, I will gradually withdraw the influence in my hands. He thinks it is because of me to help him. They will kill Princess Guantao's mansion."

"Hmm." My brother thought to himself: It would be great if things were really as simple as you think.

"Speaking of which, Zhang Ze often comes to see you recently." Chen Xu said, "When did your relationship become so good?"

"Isn't it good to have a good relationship with the ghost messenger? Although this guy was sent to the mortal world, his magic power is still there, and it will definitely be useful in the future." After drinking the milk, the elder brother wiped his mouth, He said again: "How is it? I'm very smart, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Xu responded, and secretly said in his heart: "It would be great if things were really as simple as you think. That Zhang Ze doesn't seem so simple."
