[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

After the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, and later he divided the princes of the world in Xiting.All the generals were enfeoffed as kings, and Liu Bang was also enfeoffed as the "King of Han".

However, Liu Bang put Xiang Yu on a lot of precautions. Although he was also crowned king, he was sent directly to the remote Bashu.Liu Bang was unable to compete with Xiang Yu at this time, so he obediently went to Bashu.As soon as he entered Bashu, Liu Bang burned the plank road to prove to Xiang Yu that he had no intention of sending troops.

After Liu Bang let Xiang Yu relax his guard, he immediately thought of taking Lu Zhi and his family members who were in Peixian County back to him.He knew very well that what he wanted was not to settle down in Bashu, and Xiang Yu would never allow him to live in Bashu.

Xiang Yu entrusted the feudal lords of the world in Xiting, and few of the vassals obeyed wholeheartedly.They caused Xiang Yu a lot of trouble at this time, leaving Xiang Yu temporarily unable to take care of him.However, if one day Xiang Yu calms down the other princes, then the thorn in his heart, Liu Bang, must be pulled out.

Even if Liu Bang wanted to rest his troops at this time, Xiang Yu would not let him go.When Liu Bang was in one day, Xiang Yu's throne was not justified.Only when Liu Bang is not alive, Xiang Yu will feel safe.

This war, Liu Bang is inevitable, and he has no idea of ​​escaping.His purpose has always been very clear, and in his heart Xiang Yu is also a person who stands in the way.

Liu Bang's current status is obviously impossible to return to Pei County in person, and Xiang Yu will not allow it.He sent his subordinates to welcome Liu Taigong and some of his other family members back.However, Xiang Yu sent troops to Yangxia at this time, which prevented Liu Bang's team from advancing, and naturally they could not achieve their goal of welcoming Lu Zhi and others back.

Liu Bang accelerated the development of his own power in Bashu, entrusting all capable people.Under his hard work, Bashu soon had enough soldiers and food.Liu Bang, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others secretly planned a grand plan to compete with Xiang Yu for the world.

Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as a general, Quan Ming repaired the plank road, secretly crossed the Chencang' strategy, quickly occupied the entire Guanzhong, and officially opened the curtain of the struggle with Chu and Han.

While Liu Bang was recruiting soldiers and horses, Xiang Yu had been busy crusading against the princes from all walks of life.Liu Bang raised his troops at this time, and it went very smoothly, and soon got the attachment of some princes.Surrounded by everyone, Liu Bang quickly occupied Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's lair.

Xiang Yu was recognized as the biggest force at this time, and he captured Pengcheng. In their view, the world could be won.For a while, many soldiers were somewhat complacent.They held a celebration banquet in Pengcheng, but at this time Xiang Yu quickly returned to defense and led a surprise attack with [-] elite soldiers.

Although Liu Bang had 60 or [-] troops around him at this time.However, many of them belonged to the princes from all over the country, and their hearts were not in harmony, and they were caught off guard. The casualties reached more than [-] in a short time.In the process of fleeing, more than [-] people were killed.

For a while, there were only dozens of soldiers around Liu Bang to protect his safety.The rest of the old ministries are all dead and scattered.These dozens of personal soldiers led him to escape from Xiang Yu's pursuit, and they were in a terrible embarrassment for a while.

.

"Father, don't be disappointed. You came from nothing three years ago, and you can do it now." Liu Fei reached out and poured a glass of water for Liu Bang, and placed it in front of Liu Bang.

Liu Bang knew that Lu Zhi valued Liu Fei very much. Although he would train and train Liu Fei on weekdays, most of the time he put him in the safest position.In Liu Bang's view, it is obvious that his side is the safest.Whether it's because of his identity or because of his confidence in his abilities.Therefore, even though everyone else was separated from Liu Bang, Liu Fei was still by his side.

It has been a few days since they escaped, but Liu Bang rarely spoke.As it is now, the posture of thinking without saying a word is very common.Liu Fei naturally knew that all his hard work would come to naught overnight and he would be very depressed.He has been instilled by Lu Zhi so many beliefs that sometimes he should not care too much about gains and losses, but he still can't see it now.

What's more, my father seems to have an obsession with rights.He had only seen this kind of obsession a few times when he was with his mother.At the celebration banquet in Pengcheng, there was genuine joy in his father's smile.He had rarely seen such a smile since they left Pei County.

It's just that the time that this smile exists is really short.Before the celebration banquet was over, they changed from winners to losers.And this time the failure was an absolute fiasco.

He was very worried that his father would be so depressed.It may not matter if other things fail, but if the battle for the country fails, it seems that the only way to go is death.Xiang Yu is not a person who can meet each other and smile away his grievances.

Liu Bang patted Liu Fei on the head, his eyes were darker than before. "I'm not disappointed, I'm just introspective."

"Reflection?" Liu Fei met Liu Bang's gaze, and he could see that Liu Bang's gaze was not too disappointed, and his expression seemed to be the same as usual.It's just that he looks more dangerous.

Liu Bang was not a sharp-edged person. It seemed that their family was somewhat influenced by Lu Zhi, and they liked to hide their sharpness under the surface.Now Liu Bang looks a little duller than usual.

Liu Fei didn't hear Liu Bang's answer, because the carriage they were riding in stopped suddenly.The two looked at each other, and both saw the vigilance in their own eyes.Liu Fei took a slight step forward and guarded Liu Bang behind him.

Liu Bang's martial arts is not inferior to that of Liu Fei, but he rarely shows his martial arts outside.Liu Bang always brought Liu Fei by his side to protect Liu Fei, but in front of most of his subordinates, they felt that Liu Fei was protecting Liu Bang.

Liu Fei did have the idea of ​​protecting Liu Bang.He always looks like he wants to resist danger for Liu Bang when he is outside.Even if Liu Bang is not weak, it has nothing to do with Liu Fei's intention to protect him.

Xia Houying escorted Liu Bang, Liu Fei and the others to escape, and naturally they took very remote paths.However, on such a journey, they ran into several carriages.Although the carriage on the opposite side didn't look like a soldier, Xia Houying didn't dare to be on guard.

There are more than four or five people in this carriage.If there are really soldiers hiding in it, even a few are possible.The dozens of them seemed quite a lot, but they were obviously not in good condition during the escape these few days, and it was not bad for them to be able to use half of their strength.

Xia Houying and the others originally wanted to bypass these carriages, so it is best for the two to live in peace.But these carriages stopped directly in the middle of the road, obviously in a gesture of not allowing anyone to excuse them.This made Xia Houying even more vigilant.

"I don't know if you can make it easier for me." Xia Houying walked to the front, and the soldiers around him were obviously vigilant.

Hearing his voice, the people in the carriage seemed to have some movement.Then a woman in a red dress stepped down from a carriage on the opposite side.

Red clothes are worn on people, some people wear them to be festive, some people wear them to be kitsch, but this woman wears them with the dignity and generosity of a young lady.This is a gorgeous color, but it is completely overwhelmed by her appearance and temperament, making people not think how dazzling the red dress is.Instead, he was the first to notice him.

Seeing such a lady-like woman, Xia Houying breathed a sigh of relief.No matter how unavailable this feather is, it is impossible for a woman to intercept them, not to mention that Xiang Yu is now in full swing, and it is not unavailable.

"I wonder if Madam can help me?" Xia Houying saw the woman getting out of the car.Judging from her attire, this woman is obviously already married.Calling Ma'am is a sign of respect.

"Is Liu Jike in the car?" Xun Ying asked.

Xia Houying didn't realize it for a while, but it was the personal guards around him, some of whom followed Liu Bang in the early years and knew Liu Bang's deeds in Pei County.Before Liu Bang became Pei Gong, he had always been Liu Ji.

Since he became Pei Gong, few people called him by his name, but called him 'Pei Gong'.Now that they have become King of Han, they changed their name to 'King of Han'.

"Pheasant." Before the others could react, Liu Bang and Liu Fei jumped out of the car one after another.

The few guards around him who reacted naturally affirmed their own thoughts. Some guards wanted to go up to protect Liu Bang, but they were also stopped by others.

"Mother." If there were people who wanted to stop Liu Bang when he opened his mouth, then after Liu Fei spoke, everyone quietly faded away, and the nervous mood relaxed.

At this time, they looked at the queen Lu Zhi curiously, but they had all heard about the affair of the King of Han.It can be said that the king of Han never refused women, but no woman could get a name by his side.

They all knew that the King of Han had a queen, and the eldest son of the King of Han followed him all the time.For this queen, she is only famous and has never met.Just being famous, they already have great admiration for this queen.To be able to endure in Han Wang's heart for a long time, she must be a woman with infinite charm.

Seeing Lu Zhi at this time, they didn't feel any disappointment in their hearts, but they felt that the Queen of the King of Han should be like this.Although Lu Zhi's appearance is not outstanding, but that temperament is rare.Not to mention, many of them have heard that Liu Fei was taught by the queen herself, and they have long admired the queen.

Liu Bang walked up to Lu Zhi and held her palm tightly.His eyes were almost greedy to inspect Lu Zhi's facial features. He hadn't seen Lu Zhi for a long time.I don't see you for a day, and I think about it like crazy.Perhaps in his heart, he was already insane.

Since Bashu dispatched troops, he has been eager for success.He didn't train those subordinates well.He only wanted to win more rights as soon as possible, and wanted to bring her to his side.Since then, the zither and the zither have been in harmony, and no one has separated them.

He paid a heavy price for such eagerness.At this moment, he felt that it was worth it.Now that he saw Lu Zhi again, she was still the same as he remembered, and she was still his favorite.

"Pheasant, why are you here?" Although Liu Bang was happy, he still asked.Since Lu Zhi said that she would guard the rear for him, Lu Zhi would not leave Pei County unless it was absolutely necessary.

"It's not only me, but my father and the others are also here." Xun Ying patted Liu Bang's tightened palm that made her feel a little painful.

Liu Bang looked up, and what he saw was not a carriage.Several carriages were together, and he could vaguely recognize that the driver was a servant of the Lu family.Obviously, not only the Liu family was among these people, but the Lu family was also among them.

If it's just the Liu family, it's okay to say that the Liu family is dilapidated and there are not many valuable things in the house. Even if they leave, only Liu Zhong's family is a little troublesome.However, after so many years of operation, the Lu family has taken root in Pei County, and they left together, which would cost them a lot of benefits.

"I heard that you were defeated and fled in Pengcheng, so you left Pei County with your father and others. Xiang Yu arranged for some soldiers to stop you on the way, but I escaped." Xun Ying said calmly as usual .It seemed that no matter how frightening things were, she could sum it up in a few words.

Those who heard her words didn't think that things were really as easy as she said.The soldiers on Liu Bang's side admired Lu Zhi even more.They were also fleeing from Xiang Yu's pursuers, so they naturally knew the difficulty.Most of them are still strong soldiers, Lu Zhi and the others are more ordinary people, so the difficulty will naturally increase a bit.

"Xiang Yu..." Liu Bang's tone was visibly vicious.When he was defeated, there was not much anger in his heart, but more introspection.When he heard that Xiang Yu sent troops to Pei County, he was really angry.

No harm to the family!This is something that all street gangsters know, and even some conscience gangsters will not put their minds on the family members of their enemies.Even if it is a gangster, who can not have a few family members.If you catch me today, I will catch him tomorrow.With this coming and going, who else would dare to hang out on the streets?

Xiang Yu was first the leader of the rebel army, and now he is the overlord of Western Chu.Speaking of which, he is also a great figure in the world today, but he attacked Liu Bang's family.At this time, Liu Bang regretted a little. When he broke through Pengcheng, he didn't let people kill Xiang Yu's beauty in Pengcheng.Even if Xiang Yu might not care much, he can't face it!

"My lord, this is not the time to catch up on the old days. The subordinates think that we should leave here as soon as possible. The pursuers sent by Xiang Yu will arrive here at some point." Xia Houying said hastily.Originally, they were dealing with one side chasing soldiers, but now it has become two sides.The longer they stay, the greater the danger.

"Pheaser, will you get in the car with me?" Liu Bang glanced at Xia Houying. Although he was a little annoyed that Xia Houying interrupted his conversation with Lu Zhi, this also proved that Xia Houying was really loyal to him and put great things first. Heavy.After they got into the car, they had plenty of time to talk to Pheasant.

Xun Ying glanced back at the carriage carrying Liu Taigong and others, before she could speak, Liu Fei grabbed her skirt. "Mother, you can ride in a carriage with my father and me, so that grandfather and the others can relax a bit."

"Okay, let me go over and tell them to follow your carriage." Xun Ying met Liu Fei's gaze, and she finally nodded.

Xun Ying walked to the front of the carriage and said a few words before getting into the carriage with Liu Bang's support.

"Pheasant, the Lu family must have suffered a lot from leaving Peixian this time, right?" Liu Bang poured a glass of water for Lu's pheasant after getting into the carriage.There was guilt in his eyes, if it wasn't for him, the Lu family wouldn't be like this.

"Fortunately, the Lu family came to Pei County to escape from the enemy. Now that we move to another place, everyone doesn't feel so disgusted." Lu Zhi said.

"Don't worry. What the Lu family lost today, I will return a hundredfold in the future." Liu Bang said very solemnly.The Lu family is considered a big family in Pei County, but in the whole world, it is not a big family.Liu Bang can even guarantee that if he really wins the world, he will give the Lu family more than a hundred times.However, he did not exaggerate too much.What he was doing at this time was to show Lu Zhi his determination.

"En." Xun Ying nodded, she reached out and put the cup on her lips, and took a sip of the already slightly cold water.If they were at home, they would definitely drink warm water, but they were not so particular when they were fleeing.The coolness in the water is unlikely to have any effect on warriors like them.

"Well, I will do what I say, Pheasant." Liu Bang nodded. All the promises he made to Lu Pheasant must be fulfilled.This is not a question of character, even if he lied to the whole world, but in front of Lu Zhi, there will be no lies.

"No matter what happens, you will do it?" Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bang more seriously.

"Of course." Liu Bang nodded.He didn't think about what would happen if he didn't have the ability to do it?When he revolted in Pei County, he always felt that he could win the world.Although his old department is now separated, after reorganization, he is somewhat stronger than when he was in Pei County.

"Mother, I will supervise father!" Liu Fei said with a smile.He doesn't feel that his father needs his supervision. With his father's mentality of wanting to please his mother, he can do his best.

"I'll write down what you said." Lu Zhi looked away from Liu Bang, and rubbed her fingers on the rim of the cup. "The people of the Lu family are fine. But... Father, you have to take care of me a little more."

Liu Bang knew that Lu Zhi's father was Liu Taigong.Lu Gong has always been supportive of Liu Bang's actions, but Liu Taigong, as his biological father, has no trust in him.When he became Pei Gong, he should still have a kind face towards him.However, now that he was defeated and fled, and even hurt his family, this is probably unforgivable in Liu Taigong's view.

Even when he was a gangster, he was just doing nothing by himself, and Taigong Liu was already very dissatisfied with him.Now his own achievements have evaporated, and at the same time, he has also implicated his family.It even hurt Liu Zhong, who Taigong Liu thought was the most promising, and made him lose his livelihood.It would be very strange if Liu Taigong could give him a good face.

"I know, I've been used to my father's attitude for a long time. Pheasant, you haven't been embarrassed by your father, have you?!" Liu Bang smiled disapprovingly. He really got used to Liu Taigong's attitude towards him as he said. .

In Liu Bang's view now, the closest person to him is Lu Zhi, followed by Liu Fei, and then Taigong Liu.

"No matter how much father has resentment towards you, he can't do anything to me." Xun Ying slightly shook her head, in her opinion, Mr. Liu is not such a difficult person to get along with.Lu Fei was married to Liu Bang, and in Liu Taigong's view, it was a great honor to glorify their Liu family.

Although Lu Zhi did not continue the incense for the Liu family, Liu Bang already had a son named Liu Fei. Although Taigong Liu was a pity, he could figure it out.In addition, Taigong Liu has been taking care of Lu Zhi most of the time these years, how could he be dissatisfied with Lu Zhi.On the contrary, he felt that Liu Bang owed Lu Zhi a lot.

Liu Bang also thought of Liu Taigong's attitude towards Lv Zhi, but he didn't completely relax when he felt uncomfortable. "Will Pheasant be disappointed by my failure this time?"

But Liu Bang knows that many people now think that Liu Bang is a lost dog.Especially those princes and kings who defected to him on the way may have changed their direction now.If he wants to take back the old troops, he must take back only his old troops in Peixian County, as well as some soldiers he trained in Bashu.

Even after this catastrophe, the soldiers around him will not have so much trust in him.It is possible that some soldiers want to find the next monarch.

Liu Bang also knew that, apart from himself, Lu Zhi probably wanted him to succeed the most.If he can win the world, it will be the fulfillment of Lu Gong's prophecy.He is the most honorable person Lu Gong has seen in his life.Who else in the world is more honorable than the Lord of the World.

"No. You have to believe in yourself." Xun Ying slightly shook her head, she naturally wouldn't.Although, Liu Bang's defeat this time did surprise her.She thought that under his teaching, Liu Bang would not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.But unexpectedly, although she changed Liu Bang a lot, the general trend of the world did not change much because of her.

Of course, one thing must have changed.That is, she took Liu Taigong and others to escape Xiang Yu's pursuit.In this way, naturally there is no theory that Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bangzhi with Liu Taigong's life.Historically, Xiang Yu said that he would kill Liu Taigong to make soup, but Liu Bang was not threatened by Xiang Yu.On the contrary, he responded, 'When I was ordered to conceive the king with you, I became brothers.My father is your father, you must kill your father, don't forget to give me a bowl of soup'.

Such a response really made Xiang Yu give up the idea of ​​killing Liu Taigong.But it left him with the stain of 'unfilial piety'.Perhaps, this is a trick.But the common people don't necessarily see it that way. From their point of view, the emperor may have dignity and state affairs, but he is indeed unfilial.It is really detrimental to the majesty of the emperor.

Xunying has always been, either do not do it, or do the best.She also avoided such an accident.

"Of course, I will believe in myself." There was a smile on Liu Bang's lips, and his eyes were bright.The shadow of Xun Ying was clearly reflected in his pupils.

Because I believe in you, I must believe in myself.He, Liu Ji, was cultivated by Lu Zhi himself.
