Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 13 Liu Chan's Secret Conspiracy
(Do you like war plots like Jixi’s individual war plots? Do you like deducting 1? Or is it deducting 2 from the macro? Or is the combination of macro and individual deducting 3? You can also mention any improvements in the description. This is my first time writing a war drama.)
When Lu Xun made up his plan to send Zhu Ran to explore, Liu Chan had just arrived in Zhuoxiang.

In the early morning, clouds and fog filled the river. Standing on the bow of the flagship ship, Liu Chan vaguely saw people in Zhuoxiang Water Army Camp through the fog.

On the left, Cheng Ji, who joined the army, and on the right, Chen Shi, the general of the water army, led the officers and men of Zhuo Township and stood on both sides of Yamen to welcome Prince Liu Chan.

When the crown prince disembarked, Cheng Ji and Chen Shi led the officials on both sides to step forward, bowed their hands and said respectfully: "Welcome Your Highness!"

Liu Chan was dressed in Xuanfu, and returned the salute: "Thank you for your hard work, the Eastern Expedition lasted for more than a year!"

Cheng Ji, Chen Shi and others shouted together: "Don't dare."
-
In the Zhuoxiang camp of the Han army, Liu Chan was occupying a high position in the tooth tent, and the officers and officials on both sides stood in line.

Liu Chan straightened his waist with his sword and said in a high voice: "The war in the East has been going on for a year. All the officers and men have worked tirelessly, overcoming thorns and thorns, fighting for thousands of miles, defeating Li Yi and Liu Ah, recovering Zigui, and going straight to Yidao. Dare to send troops and hide in the camp, you soldiers have worked so hard! Huo Yi serves the wine."

Huo Yi led all the attendants to pour the wine in bowls.

Liu Chan raised his bowl and said loudly: "The first bowl I respect the great Han soldiers who died in battle!" After speaking, he lifted the bowl slowly from left to right to the ground.

Zhao Yun took the lead and shouted: "Respect!" Everyone immediately raised their bowls and poured them on the ground.Huo Yi saw the drink on the plane.

Liu Chan raised his bowl and looked around the crowd, talking and laughing, "The second bowl is respectful to all the soldiers present here!"

Everyone raised their bowls and shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing that everyone drank it, Liu Chan raised the third bowl and said sharply: "Wu Gou has not been removed. I, Liu Chan, dare not respect you or drink this third bowl of wine." Among them, it seems that only the sound of pottery bowls cracking the ground can be heard.

When the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition heard this, Chen Shi and Cheng Ji shouted: "Wu Dog must be broken!" Random people threw their bowls to the ground.

Zhao Yun secretly sighed that he has the style of His Majesty, it is no loss that he is of the blood of the Red Emperor!
Seeing this, Liu Chan said: "Haha, seeing how the soldiers are like this, the military spirit can be used! Chen Shi Tingli, let Zhuoxiang Shui and Lu soldiers drink a bowl of wine tonight, and add meat to their meals."

Chen Shi handed over his promise.

All the people went out of the tent, and only Cheng Ji, who joined the army, stayed in the tent.

Cheng Ji, who joined the army, went out and clasped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please ask Your Highness to work in Zhuoxiang. There is no need to go to Yidao. The war ahead is dangerous. Your Majesty will return to Zhuoxiang soon."

Liu Chan nodded and said: "Yes, but only rewarding the army of Zhuoxiang, there will be complaints from other battalions. I want to send Huo Yi to work with General Huang Quan in the north of the Yangtze River."

Cheng Ji hesitated and said: "Your Majesty only let His Highness work in Zhuoxiang, not in Jiangbei."

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said: "I won't go, Huo Yi will go, Huo Yi is my prince's servant, and if he goes, he will work for me."

Seeing this, Cheng Ji promised, and Cheng Ji was about to leave the camp.

But I heard Liu Chan ask: "Ji Ran, how is your majesty's battle going?"

Cheng Ji was silent for a while, unwilling to conceal the battle ahead, and answered: "Lu Xun is cowardly, Sun Heng is trapped on the barren road, Wu Jun can't hold out, and wants to exhaust our army. During the summer season, the weather is hot. Your Majesty sent soldiers into the woods. It was the rainy season, and the morale of the soldiers was not high. Fortunately, the morale of the soldiers rose slightly after the rainy season."

Liu Chan asked: "Does Your Majesty have any other plans?"

Cheng Ji shook his head and said helplessly: "A few days ago, Your Majesty sent General Wu Ban to lead thousands of people to camp on the flat ground to lure the enemy, and led more than [-] elite soldiers to ambush in the forest. His Majesty is not allowed to lead troops out of the forest.

Wu Jun is too timid. The army has been on the march for a year, and the soldiers are very homesick.Fortunately, His Royal Highness went eastward to work for the army, which boosted morale a little. "

Liu Chan tested Cheng Ji and said in a low voice: "Ji Ran, Your Majesty has the idea of ​​being a teacher!"

Cheng Ji understood Liu Chan's implication and wanted to see if he agreed with the withdrawal of troops.

Cheng Ji looked down at the ground silently, as if unwilling to answer Liu Chan's question.After all, throughout the ages, when there were conflicts between the prince and his majesty, the ministers in the middle seemed to have no good end.

Seeing this, Liu Chan stopped pressing Cheng Ji, and changed the topic: "I once heard that when Ji Ran was the head of Han Chang, Pang Xi wanted to rebel, so he asked people to ask Ji Ran for soldiers and horses, but Ji Ran refused. Pang Xi also sent someone to tell Ji Ran, threatening Ji Ran's family and killing your son.

But Ji Ran said: "In the past, Leyang was a general, and he drank the soup from his son. It is only right that father and son have no kindness."Although I have returned to the soup today, I will drink it. '

Ji Ran is so loyal to the country, so strong, why is he unwilling to speak out now? "

Cheng Ji cupped his hands and had to answer: "It's not that he doesn't want to answer His Highness, but he doesn't know how to say it. Ji Ran only knows that the soldiers are homesick. Whether or not His Majesty's teacher is not with Ji Ran is up to His Majesty, and the country is now His Majesty."

When Liu Chan saw Cheng Ji's words, Liu Chan was silent, so he asked Cheng Ji to withdraw.

Seeing Cheng Ji leaving the account, Liu Chan sighed heavily. Although he is the crown prince, Liu Bei is still there, unable to mobilize Cheng Ji and others. He wanted to persuade Cheng Ji, but Cheng Ji's words obviously didn't want to mix himself and Liu Bei. between.

Besides, what Cheng Ji said was right, in the current environment of dual monarchy, the country is still Liu Bei, as Cheng Ji has already done, not to mention that Liu Bei single-handedly promoted the navy general Chen Shi.

One of the important reasons why I can mobilize Huo Yi and Dong Yun to obey my arrangement is that they are also influenced by the dual monarchy.

Liu Chan thought to himself that he had to get the military command of Zhuoxiang Shuilu Camp to have a chance to turn the tide, but how should he do it?It would be great if Fei Yi was here, I miss Fei Yi*2.
-
Liu Chan pondered for a while, and then someone called Wang Ping and Huo Yi in to discuss and make a decision.

Seeing the two people coming, Liu Chan said, "Ji Ran, I don't want to participate." He also talked about the cause and effect with the two of them.

When Wang Ping and Huo Yi learned about Cheng Ji's attitude, they were troubled. Wang Ping pondered for a while and said, "It's better to tell General Chen Shi the reason and see if General Chen Shi is willing."

Liu Chan shook his head and said in a low voice: "Chen Shi is Your Majesty, he joined the army with his own hands, just like Wei Yan in Hanzhong."

When Wang Ping heard "like Wei Yan", he knew that Chen Shi would not hand over the army to the crown prince without His Majesty's military order, let alone the crown prince was going to sink the ship.

Seeing this, Huo Yi gritted his teeth and offered a plan: "The prince didn't hear that Mr. Xinling stole the amulet to save Zhao!"

Liu Chan's eyes lit up, Wang Ping didn't understand the allusion, Huo Yi explained: "Warring States, King Qin Zhao sent troops to attack Zhao, Queen Wei sent Jin Bi to lead [-] soldiers to rescue Zhao, King Qin Zhao threatened King Wei, King Wei dared not save Zhao After hearing this, Lord Xinling stole the tiger talisman, killed Jin Bi, and personally led the army to rescue Zhao, and the siege of Zhao was relieved."

Liu Chan adopted Huo Yi's strategy in his heart, and turned to Wang Ping. Wang Ping nodded knowing Liu Chan's intention, "Yes, I will persuade Master (Zhao Yun) with pros and cons."
