[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Before Liu Bang and Liu Fei came to the room, they first smelled the aroma of food.From the smell alone, the two can tell how many dishes they like.They have lived in the Mangdang Mountains for so long, besides missing Lu Zhi, what they miss most is the delicious food made by Lu Zhi himself, even Liu Taigong and others have to stand aside.

Liu Fei directly broke free from Liu Bang's grip on his hand, and pushed open the door.Lu Zhi was setting the bowls and chopsticks in front of the dining table, and sure enough there were some of his favorite dishes on the dining table.He walked into the room quickly, reached out and grabbed Lu Zhi's sleeve.If it wasn't for the fear of affecting her movements, he would have been more willing to rush forward and hug Lu Zhi's waist.

In fact, Liu Fei hadn't done such an intimate gesture for many years.Ever since he became a little more sensible and knew that he was not Lu Zhi's biological son, he attached great importance to etiquette both at home and outside.He will try his best to do what Lu Zhi asks, lest Lu Zhi will not like it.

His actions this time are much more disciplined than in the past.It can be seen that it was a joy for him to return to Lu Zhi's side and Pei County.

As soon as Liu Bang stepped into the room, he could no longer take his eyes off Lu Zhi's face.This time, he and Lu Zhi had only been separated for more than ten days, which was less than half of the first month's interval.In fact, he didn't spend much time with Lu Zhi, even when he was the pavilion chief of Surabaya, he was outside all day long.

However, instead of making him get used to the separation these years, he missed her more and more.In this year, if he hadn't kept himself busy and had no time to think about her, he didn't know if he would be able to persevere.

"I've suffered a lot in the Mangdang Mountains this year! Come on, eat something first. I'll deliver some meals to my father, and I'll be back soon." Lu Zhi rubbed Liu Fei's head and could tell He still has no objection to his actions like this.Looking up at her, there is still full of admiration.

"Mother, go early and come back early." Liu Fei let go of his grip on Lu Zhi's sleeve.

Liu Bang and Liu Fei watched Lu Zhi leave. They sat at the dining table, and the table was full of meals that they liked very much and missed for a year.However, none of the two moved their chopsticks.They looked at the meals on the table and looked out the door from time to time.

"Why don't you use it first?" Xun Ying returned to the room and met the eyes of the two of them. She walked to Liu Fei's side while talking, and sat in the position she was used to.

"Naturally, our family wants to be together." Liu Bang said, and he reached out to put some of Lu Zhi's favorite dishes into her bowl.

When Liu Bang saw the dishes on this table, he knew that Lu Zhi must have known everything.If he just guessed that Lu Zhi helped him before, then he can be sure now.Otherwise, this time is neither breakfast nor dinner, why should she prepare such a table of rich dishes?

She arranged things in Pei County, so she would naturally know when they could come back and enter Pei County.Naturally, you can prepare in advance.

When he sent the letter into the city, he was actually a bit of a gambler.He bet that someone would get the letter. If no one responded, he would organize his subordinates to write some letters and throw them into the city.If one person does not respond, the dozen, dozens, or even hundreds will always have some effect.The rule of Pei County has long been riddled with holes, and there is no possibility of making up for it in a short time.

Things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations, and also beyond his expectations.However, he was calmer than anyone else.The moment the accident happened, he thought of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi has always insisted on staying in Pei County, maybe not just taking care of her father, she may have guessed that he will eventually take Pei County as his foundation, so he will stay in Pei County.It is always a bit difficult to attack a city from the outside.But if it is destroyed from the inside, it will appear simple.If it is internal and external cooperation, it is easiest to succeed.

This time, he can also be regarded as cooperating with the inside and the outside.It's just that the effort he put in is obviously much less than Lu Zhi's.He was a little bit dissatisfied with his ability, but more because of the joy he felt for Lu Zhi's devotion to him.

"That's right, without my mother, nothing tastes good!" Liu Fei swallowed the food in his mouth.Although he tried his best to maintain his dining etiquette, those who knew him could see that his dining speed was obviously faster than before.

"In the future, if we want to have a peaceful reunion dinner, I'm afraid it will not be too easy. Naturally, we should cherish this opportunity even more." Liu Bang put another dish in Lu Zhi's bowl.

Liu Bang was elected as the leader of the uprising in Peixian County. Naturally, it is impossible for him to guard Peixian County like a county magistrate.The reason for the 'revolt', which one didn't want to overthrow the rule of the Qin imperial family?After the time of the uprising is determined, I am afraid that the battle will begin.

He didn't know if Lu Zhi would be willing to follow him.If she is willing to spend more time with the two of them than in the past, then she will inevitably have to suffer from running around.If she is not willing to follow him, let alone having dinner together, even seeing each other will seem extravagant in the future.

"I've heard about my husband's stay in Pei County. It's a good thing to be able to lead everyone to revolt. There will be many opportunities for us to have dinner together in the future. As long as we return to Pei County, I will wait here." Xun Ying's speech speed As always no changes.

There was an unconcealable loss in Liu Bang's sight. Since Lu Zhi said it, there is no possibility of changing it.He once tried to get Lu Zhi to take back his thoughts, but in the end he was still persuaded by her.Even so, he still couldn't help asking. "Pheasant, don't you want to join the army?"

In fact, what Liu Bang wanted to ask more was whether she was unwilling to be by his side, but after saying this, she wrapped herself in a coat to cover up his almost well-known thoughts.

Xun Ying slightly shook her head. "There will always be someone guarding here in Pei County. I'm here, so you can rest assured."

With Lu's pheasant in Pei County, he would feel much more at ease.Liu Bang also understood what Lu Zhi said that someone was always guarding Pei County.His father, elder brother and others are all in Peixian County. If he succeeds in the future, I am afraid that there will be many enemies.Although it is said that in many cases, the disaster is not as good as the family, but if you push people into a hurry, there is no morality.

Lu's pheasant stayed in Pei County and stood by the rear for him, which naturally ensured that his family would be safe.However, he also has to endure the longing for who doesn't know how long.

Liu Bang's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.He stuffed the meals on the table into his mouth mechanically, but he couldn't really taste the taste of those meals.

Every time Lu Zhi is more considerate than he imagined, it can be said that these considerations are always for his own good.But sometimes, he really hoped that Lu Zhi would be less thoughtful.That way, that's also a reason to keep her around.

"I understand." After a long time, Liu Bang answered.It was not easy for them to meet this once, but this meeting is destined to be short-lived.After that, what awaited them was the separation at an unknown time.

What made him feel the most unbearable was that there was never any nostalgia for him in Lu Zhi's eyes.Even if she has been together for more than ten years, she can pay so much for him, but it has nothing to do with feelings.

In addition to bitterness in Liu Bang's heart, he was also somewhat fortunate.Fortunately, he didn't get carried away and wanted to climb on Lu Zhi's bed just because he became the person in charge of Pei County.Otherwise, I'm afraid it will only be more disappointment now.

As early as when he knew his mind, he knew that this was destined to be a long chase.However, he will still be injured because of Lu Zhi's neglect of him.

Lu Zhi had never lied to him, so after he gained power, he and Lu Zhi could become a real husband and wife.He thought more than once, even if he didn't get Lu Zhi's affection, he still wanted to get her.

She put all her thoughts on cultivating him. If he can't get Lu Zhi's love, then others can't get it either.The person who can get Lu Zhi should be satisfied.Liu Bang deliberately ignored the unwillingness in his heart.

Liu Fei began to eat with relish, and now he has almost filled his stomach.He looked up at Lu Zhi, then at Liu Bang, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he often saw his father changing ways to please his mother, he could also often see his mother's unmoved look.However, he really can't help in this regard.

……

The people of Pei County elected Liu Bang as "Pei Gong" and led them to revolt. Liu Bang naturally obeyed the public opinion.After discussing with Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Xiao He, Cao Can and others, Liu Bang chose an auspicious day to set up an altar to tell the world and set up a red flag.Liu Bang claimed to be the "Son of the Red Emperor" and led more than [-] people to raise the banner of anti-Qin.

After Liu Bang's uprising, he began to attack the surrounding counties as he imagined.Even though he was not far from Pei County, he couldn't find a chance to go back and visit.It hasn't been long since the incident happened, and he can't hurt the morale of the army. Even if he misses it, he can't tell anyone.Even in front of Liu Fei, he never mentioned family affairs once.

There is no lack of women around him, since he was proclaimed as 'Pei Gong', many people want to send women to his bed.He now has some rights, and even though he himself is nearly fifty years old, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny.On the outside, he doesn't look old at all, and if he is said to be in his thirties, some people will believe him.

On the surface, those women looked more charming than Lu Zhi, but they couldn't arouse his interest.In the past, he liked to look at people's appearance the most, but now he only likes Lu Zhi.Except for Lu Zhi, no matter how good the other women are, it will be difficult for him to arouse the slightest interest.

However, he did not show repulsion on the surface.If someone brought a woman to the door, he would open his mouth and talk a few words.When he was young, he understood the minds of some women very well, but now he has a little more precipitation, and it is easier for those women to be intoxicated.This actually allowed him to get a lot of news from it.

Of course, the further one is gone.As early as a few years ago, he knew that he couldn't bear to touch other women besides Lu Zhi.

Even though it was just like this, somehow his reputation as a romantic got out.After all, it is also a fact that he 'all comers are welcome'.But no one believed that he was chatting with a woman for an hour or two in the room, even those around him thought he was romantic.

Many people know about his youth, although he restrained himself a lot after marrying Lu Zhi.However, no one would believe it, and since then he has not been close to women.The impression left on people is indeed difficult to change.

Except for Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and his son Liu Fei, others still regard him as a romantic prodigal son.Liu Bang didn't even think about correcting this point.Those women were sent to him, which was a bit different to him.They told him things they shouldn't have said, and even if they were sent back the next day, they would only try to hide it.

Occasionally, Liu Bang can also encounter a few people who are not good at oil and salt, although he can't make a fool of himself.But there's nothing wrong with asking people out on the grounds that you're tired.No one said that a romantic person must sing every night.

Liu Bang used Pei County as the starting point, and continued to attack the surrounding counties and counties to expand his power.Apart from him, many people from all over the country responded to the uprising, including many former nobles from the Six Nations.Among these people, Xiang Yu is the most powerful one, and Liu Bang's current strength is obviously not as good as it is.

Xiang Yu was the son of Xiang Yan, the Ming general of Chu State. He and his uncle Xiang Liang led more than 8000 Jiangdong disciples to revolt, and soon became the leader of many rebel armies.

In the first year of Qin II ([-] BC), Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who sparked an uprising, were killed.As the leader of the rebel army, Xiang Yu summoned all the generals of the rebel army to Xue County to gather, and supported Xiong Xin, the heir of the former Prince of Chu, as King Huai of Chu.

King Huai of Chu can become the new King of Chu not because of his great power. On the contrary, his own strength is not worth mentioning compared to Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others.However, because there is obviously some power struggle between the rebels, they will not obey each other.King Huai of Chu, who has the blood of the royal family, is actually the best candidate for leadership.

Although the ostensible king of the rebel army was King Huai of Chu, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang had the greatest say.They are also the strongest.

Under the leadership of King Huai of Chu, the rebel army fought against the Qin army, and the two sides won more battles than lost.Xiang Liang's successive victories are somewhat arrogant and careless.A proud soldier is bound to be defeated, and he finally died on the battlefield.

After Xiang Liang's defeat, the Qin army felt that the Chu army headed by King Huai of Chu was not good enough.They went to attack the forces of Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun was weak, so he asked King Huai of Chu for help.

After discussing with the generals, King Huai of Chu divided his troops into two groups.Headed by Xiang Yu and Song Yi, the troops along the way led the army directly to rescue Zhao Guo.On the other way, Liu Bang led his thousands of troops to contain the Qin army from the rear.King Huai of Chu and the generals agreed that "the one who enters Guanzhong first will be the king."

The strength of Liu Bang's side is not as good as that of Xiang Yu, and he does not have the supplies of the princes like Xiang Yu along the way.And the number of people around him cannot be compared with Xiang Yu anyway.It stands to reason that he has almost no chance of winning.

But Liu Bang went all the way west to Guanzhong, and he didn't fight a few tough battles at all.Most of Qin's troops are attacking Zhao, and the defense is relatively weak.

In [-] BC, Liu Bang successfully invaded Wuguan and came to the city of Xianyang.At this time, the court of the Qin State was already in chaos. Seeing Liu Bang's soldiers approaching the city, they naturally became even more flustered.

Zhao Gao, the prime minister of Qin State, killed Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, and asked Liu Bang for peace. However, Zhao Gao's summation did not directly offer Guanzhong, but wanted to share the world with Liu Bang, and Liu Bang naturally refused.Zhao Gao himself wanted to become king himself, but he had no suitable reason, so he supported Ziying to become king.

In the end, Ziying found an opportunity to kill Zhao Gao and regain the Qin regime.However, at this time, the Qin State obviously had no possibility of salvation, and Ziying was desperate, so he offered Liu Bang the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Liu Bang was playing with the Chuanguo Yuxi in his hand, and there was a bit of excitement on his face that could not be concealed.Chuan Guo Yuxi represents the highest right.Naturally, it is impossible for him not to be excited. If he can really keep this right, then his hard work for these years will be completed.Similarly, Lu Zhi's wish was also realized.

What he gets is not only rights, but also beauties.In contrast, the allure of beauty to him is stronger than power.

However, he soon calmed down.These people under him obviously cannot compete with Xiang Yu's soldiers.If he takes the position of King of Guanzhong, he will be the next King of Qin in a short time.

What he wanted to get the rights in the first place, he can't remember very clearly now.Now he knows that he wants to get the right to really get Lu Zhi.What he is looking for is definitely not overnight happiness.

"Pei Gong, now is not the time for pleasure." Fan Kui was the closest to Liu Bang, and he was also the first to speak of consolation.

When Liu Bang heard Fan Kuai's words, the joy on his face subsided a little.However, he didn't relax in the movement of playing with the Chuanguo Yuxi, on the contrary, he rubbed the surface of Yuxi more meticulously.The words engraved on it are ordered by the sky, and they will live forever. 'The few words were reflected in his eyes even more clearly.

He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the ambition and hatred for Xiang Yu in his eyes.As much as he wanted to fulfill Lu Zhi's wish as soon as possible, he hated Xiang Yu so much.Even he knew in his heart that now he is not strong enough, even if there is no Xiang Yu, there will be others.He can only let go of the next step to the sky for the time being, and slowly map it.Even at this moment, he is the closest to his dream.

"Pei Gong, you have to learn the lesson of the demise of the Qin Dynasty. The situation in the world is unclear. If you enter Guanzhong at this time, I am afraid that I will stand on the opposite side of the uprising generals." Zhang Liang's consolation was obviously not as cryptic as Fan Kuai's. The opening is very crisp.

"What do you think?" This is what Liu Bang often said.Even if he has the ability, he is not prepared to do everything by himself.Moreover, this way is sometimes more comprehensive than his own consideration.Although, this is indeed easy to increase the bad thoughts of his subordinates, he needs to control it to a certain degree, so that the initiative is in his own hands.

"Subordinates think that we can retreat to the Bashang. Show the enemy to be weak." Zhang Liang said.He directly positioned Xiang Yu and others as 'enemies', which shows that he is not willing to let Liu Bang submit to others.

As a general, he was like a rat living in a granary.The bigger the granary, the more he can get.Naturally, he also hoped that the granary would grow bigger and bigger.

Liu Bang nodded, met Zhang Liang's gaze, and signaled him to continue talking.

Zhang Liang lowered his head slightly, showing a gesture of respect and submission.Liu Bang's performance has always been somewhat "incompetent", often asking for their opinions, and sometimes even seems to be "obedient" to them.However, those who followed him knew that Liu Bang didn't understand anything, but he seemed to be testing their abilities.

If he didn't understand anything, he wouldn't always ask them to back off just when they had finished their thoughts.It will also not be like now, no matter how long he pauses, as long as his proposal is not finished, Liu Bang will always look at him.If their proposal is incomplete, Liu Bang will ask Liu Fei to supplement it.

This Liu Fei is the son of Liu Bang, he is only [-] years old now, but he has been fighting with the army for many years.His martial arts are not much inferior to those of young and middle-aged people.Moreover, in terms of resourcefulness, Zhang Liang even felt that he was not inferior to him.

At least, every time Liu Fei opened his mouth to supplement, he would not make a mistake.Even if he was praised by Liu Bang, there was no trace of pride and complacency at this age.This made Zhang Liang restrain his edge a lot.No matter how much Liu Bang trusted him, he didn't dare to be too reckless.

Although he is smart, he is not indispensable in this army. "Pei Gong, my subordinates think that after we retire to Bashang, we can call some famous people in Xianyang City and make an agreement with them for three chapters, expressing to them that we have no intention of harming the people."

Liu Bang nodded, Zhang Liang is indeed a useful talent, even worse than Fan Kuai in military affairs. "Okay, you can let it go."

It is inevitable for him to leave Guanzhong, but taking this opportunity to make three chapters with the people will undoubtedly leave a good impression on the people. "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world" If they take Guanzhong again in the future, the resistance will be slightly weaker.

"The subordinates will make proper arrangements." Zhang Liang naturally knew that Liu Bang was asking him to summon those celebrities.If it is really clear to the common people, there must not be too few celebrities.However, in his opinion, this is also the simplest thing.The strategy he offered, only if he let go of it himself, can he feel more at ease.

According to Zhang Liang's statement, Liu Bang led the army to retire under the hegemony.Zhang Liang quickly summoned some celebrities, and they agreed with these celebrities in three chapters: "The murderer will die, and the wounding and theft will be punished." This move really reassured the people, and made the people of Xianyang a little more friendly to Liu Bang's army.

Although Liu Bang showed a somewhat weak attitude, there was King Huai of Chu's statement first.His entry into Guanzhong first was a thorn in Xiang Yu's heart.Xiang Yu set up a "Hongmen Banquet", but Liu Bang escaped to heaven with the help of Zhang Liang and others.

Later, Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang again, but he lost his chance.
