I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 15 Make Him Believe
"Old Wangtou, you have caused me misery!"

"I'm tired of guarding the Qiantang Gate, but it won't kill me."

"That guy is your son-in-law, but you refused to tell me, and even asked me to drink the wine from Si Bei Lou..."

"Speak for yourself, can you and I afford to offend the people of the Qin family?"

From far away, Liu Bang heard Ji Wu's complaints.

"Fart your mother! You insisted on following yesterday, when did I persuade you?"

"Furthermore, what did you, Uncle Ji, say on that boat last night? You're going to rebel!"

"Even if there is no such thing, you can't keep your bird's head. It's better to listen to the advice of the major general and join the Yue family army together. Killing two golden dogs is not a loss."

After knocking on the door, there was no movement in the room. Liu Bang shouted:
"Old father-in-law, here I come!"

Seeing that it was him, Old Wangtou opened the door, and then slapped him: "You think I didn't die fast enough, do you?"

After saying that, seeing no one following him, he asked again: "Where's Eldest Sister? You didn't bring her with you?"

Liu Banghun didn't care, nodded to Yue Yun who was sitting beside him and said:

"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid you don't know what your son-in-law is capable of."

"You have a great ability! If you have the ability, you will suffer under Qin Liu's hands yesterday? If you have the ability, can you be more capable than Qin Xiangye?"

Snapped!
Liu Bang patted Yue Yun's letter to Xin Ciying on the table, and said:
"Comparing with a family slave is nothing. Don't you want to know my first and last name? Let me tell you today. I am a Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe, a Zhimi Pavilion scholar in the current dynasty, and a householder!"

Hearing this, Ji Wu, who was paralyzed on the bed, immediately sat up: "You bastard, you can't even talk about anyone, and you dare to pretend to be a Jinshi."

But when Yue Yun saw the letter on the table, it was written by himself, of course there was no fake, and he cupped his hands towards Liu Bang and said:
"Master Xin, it's because the young general's eyesight is dull, and he failed to recognize you last night."

During this trip to Lin'an, he sent a total of more than 100 letters, but so far only Su Fu has met.

Earlier today, I learned from Su Shangshu that the official's brain was injured, and now it is possible to fight or not.

In this way, then he should strengthen contact with these main combat factions, so as not to be preempted by Qin Hui.

Although, the opportunity has always been with Qin Hui.

Xin Ciying's rank is not high, but he is a person who can be by the official's side at any time. This kind of person not only beat up the servant of the Qin family last night, but now he shows his identity to meet him.

In any case, this person's attitude is quite clear.

Liu Bang also cupped his hands and said, "Major General, you are being polite. Firstly, this trip is to show a certain position, and secondly, I want to tell the Major General something important."

"Xin Shibo, but please speak up."

The old Wang was very suspicious at first, but now that Yue Yun had acquiesced in this person's identity, he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow for a while.

The sad thing is that my daughter was harmed by this person. If it is easy for ordinary people to say, he is still an official... The most important thing in Song Dynasty is an official, but he is an official who can be valued by the major general .

Then, my eldest sister must be young.

I am happy, but it is also because he is an official, counting up to eight generations, his old Wang family has never married an official.

Liu Bang didn't speak bluntly, but took out two more money from his pocket: "Old father-in-law, take them out for a walk, and come back later."

Old Wangtou bowed and brought the money with both hands: "Master, are we really alright?"

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay... Not only is it okay, the good life of your Wang family will be in the future."

"Thanks to my uncle, thanks to my uncle."

He kicked Wang Xiaoer who was still returning to the cage awake, and the old Wangtou led Ji Wu back out.

As soon as he went out, the old man's waist immediately straightened up: "Sibei Building! Let's take you two to have a meal!"

The house was completely quiet.

"Xin Shibo, what important event do you want to tell your nephew?"

Liu Bang frowned and looked at him: "I'm afraid the emperor still wants to negotiate a peace."

Like a drop of cold water dripping into a hot oil pan, Yue Yun's brain exploded instantly.

When someone else said this, he might think about it, even this person who guards the official's house every day actually said the same!
Could it be, is it God's will?

Seeing him so disappointed, Liu Bang said: "It's not that it's settled, but there is still a turning point."

"Xin Shibo!" Yue Yun almost shouted, "What's the turning point?"

"Whether it's a fight or a fight, it's just to see if you can beat it. If you can beat it, then a fool will not fight. Do you think your emperor is a fool?"

The emperor is not necessarily a fool, but a coward is not allowed to run away.

And he's a coward, isn't that common sense?

Yue Yun looked at Liu Bang a little strangely, and said: "Fight, of course we can beat it! Apart from the Jin Wushu, there is no one in the Wanyan family who can be called a general. This time we can fight to Zhuxian Town. That is the best proof."

"If it wasn't for the official order to come back, the city of Bianjing would have fallen into my hands now, and the Jin people would have been driven back to the north of the Yellow River."

Speaking of this, he felt endless regret.

"No." Liu Bang shook his head.

Ok?
"Does Xin Shibo also think that we can't beat the Jinren?"

"You should be more aware of Song's defense than me."

"Even if it is, so what?"

"Wu Lin in Xingzhou prefecture controls Hanzhong and other places, which are the barriers of Bashu; your father watched Jingxiang in Ezhou, he can attack the Central Plains when he advances, and defend Huguang when he retreats; Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun are all here in the pile of land in front of Lin'an Mansion. With the help of the natural moat of the Huaihe River, the Jin soldiers are naturally unable to attack."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Of course there is no problem. As a defensive line, it should be the best."

"Then..." Yue Yun was a little puzzled.

"Your father took the Central Plains from Xiangyang, Han Shizhong attacked Shandong from the right, Wu Lin was going north from Hanzhong, and the three routes marched north together. This is the most ideal route for the Song Dynasty at present."

"However, there are a few problems."

Liu Bang closed his eyes, and the map of Song Kingdom came to mind:
"First, the land where the horses are raised is in the hands of the enemy, and the three armies all focus on infantry. If you fight in the north where the plains are all, you will lose a lot of people before the battle begins."

Anyone who has been a soldier knows this, but the Jinren are still weak in attacking the city... Yue Yun doesn't believe that he can't beat the Jinren just by saying that he has no horses.

"Secondly, since the infantry is the most important thing, the speed must not be as fast as the golden man. They can come and fight the autumn wind and leave. Can you?"

Yue Yun said: "Don't chase the poor, just take over the homeland."

"Yes, then thirdly, if the Jin people don't guard the city, do you want to let it go to you? If you want it, will you send troops to guard it? If you don't send it, he will take it back for you, so what should you do? If you don’t want it, then why are you talking about the Northern Expedition?”

"Of the 10 people in your father's hands, how many people will be left in Kaifeng? How many people will be left in Xingzhou?"

Yue Yun said unconvinced: "The officials don't know anything about military affairs! When did our Great Song Dynasty lack people? As long as, as long as..."

"Just what?"

"As long as the imperial guards are with us, if the golden man comes, he will fall into the trap of himself, and will only be caught by us!"

Of course, after saying this, Yue Yun lost all confidence.

Let the emperor move his imperial army to go to the Northern Expedition, it is better to think about how to persuade Jin Wushu to surrender.

After all, there is still a slight possibility of the latter.

"Forbidden Army? How many people are there?"

Sighing lightly, it seems that the emperor is not the only one who doesn't know about military affairs.

"Xin Shibo, the officials are worried about this matter, that's why they think we can't fight?"

"There is one more..." Seeing that he didn't answer his own question, Liu Bang became interested in the imperial army, "Xixia."

"Xishia?"

"That's right, it's Xixia."

"You mean that Xixia and the Jinren have colluded?" Yue Yun frowned, "Where did the news come from?"

"There is no pass, but we must be prepared for this. If Xixia makes a move, the left army in Hanzhong will only have the ability to protect themselves... In this way, the Jin people can go straight from my left, your father The farther the Northern Expedition goes, the greater the possibility of encountering enemies at both ends."

"However, this is only a hypothesis after all. Xixia has an appointment with me, Da Song, so he definitely won't help that golden dog."

"It's better to be like this. If Xixia doesn't intervene, more than half of the Northern Expedition can be done."

"But..." Liu Bang changed the subject, "How to convince the emperor is the most important thing."

Yue Yun thought for a while: "I still need to discuss this matter with my father, but with the officials, I will ask Xin Shibo to help me talk... This time the Northern Expedition will not be successful, and there are already other voices in the army. If we negotiate a peace agreement, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will never return to the north again."

Liu Bang already had an idea in his mind, but Yue Yun didn't ask, so he was too embarrassed to say it.

As for the other voices in the army he said... If it was him, he almost beat Bianjing down, but he was called back by the emperor, and all the places he fought back were sent back... Do not rebel against the emperor That's it.

"When will your father come to Lin'an?"

Yue Yun pinched his fingers and calculated: "It will take about seven or eight days."

Liu Bang nodded, full of expectations for this general who was regarded as a god by the Jin people.

The two talked again, and reviewed the previous battles.

The more Yue Yun heard it, the more surprised he became. He didn't expect that there were civil servants like Xin Ciying in this court.

And Liu Bang frowned the more he listened... The Jinren were not as powerful as Qin Hui said, but they were far from being comparable to the ordinary Xiongnu.

If you really want to fight, it is really hard to say whether you will win or lose.

After staying here for two hours, Liu Bang also planned to leave. He was going to go back and study the soldiers of the Song State.

Just when he got up, he was bumped into by Wang Xiaoer who broke in.

"What's wrong?"

This kid was out of breath, and it looked like he had run enough.

"Brother...brother-in-law, Si...something happened in Sibei Building, my father told me to let you go there quickly."

"Why, did you meet someone from Qin Xiangfu?"

Yue Yun wanted to leave, but was stopped by Liu Bang: "Qin Hui has already sued you in front of the emperor about what happened last night, so don't go anymore, just do what you should do with peace of mind."

"but……"

"I can go."

Knowing that now is the critical time, Yue Yun did not insist, but said:

"If there is any trouble, please let me know as soon as possible."

Liu Bang agreed, and then pulled Wang Xiaoer out:

"What's the matter, you tell me!"

As the two walked, Wang Xiaoer told the story.

When he got downstairs, Liu Bang gave Yang Yizhong his eyes, signaling them to follow him.

It turned out that it was indeed related to what happened last night.

But it wasn't Lao Wangtou and Ji Wu who had the accident.

It was the three prostitutes who were drinking with them in the box last night.

Qin Hui and Qin Liu both suffered a loss, and Qin Hui failed to get Yue Yun's punishment. The anger of these two people naturally spread to Liu Bang and the other three.

But the whereabouts of the three of them could not be found. Qin Xi lay on the bed so angry that he couldn't even drink the medicine. Seeing that Wang was about to lose his temper, Qin Liu thought of these three prostitutes.

Others can run, but Si Beilou can't.

So, together with the people of Lin'an Mansion, they took down the three prostitutes.

They were taken down without interrogation or custody, but tied up three people directly in front of the Sibei Building, and Qin Liu personally whipped them, and tortured them in the street.

The poor three really didn't know anything, and begged Qin Liu to let them go, but instead of letting them go, the fellow insisted that they were the accomplices of the gangsters, and poured hot salt water on the three of them, and put them on the ground. Barely exposed to the sun, it seemed that none of the three could survive.

Ji Wu wanted to stand out, but was stopped by the old Wang Tou, and ordered Wang Xiaoer to find Liu Bang, just to see if his uncle could show his strength.

It would be good if it could be done, but if it couldn't...it could only be regarded as the suffering of the three of them.

For Liu Bang himself, the truth is the same.

He is generally not interested in things he can't control.

But if you can manage it, it's because of yourself, so you can't look at it like this.

When he and Wang Xiaoer arrived, they saw that the street in front of the Sibei Building was full of onlookers. Qin Liu moved a chair and sat in the shade, covering his face with a cattail fan, as if he was lunch break.

And in front of Qin Liu... those three women were already in the dust, and now it was May, and they didn't wear much.

Now, all three of them have their hair disheveled, there is no longer a piece of good meat on their bodies, and there is no sound of begging for mercy.

Old Wang tugged Ji Wu's sleeve tightly, his fingers turned white from being pinched, seeing Liu Bang coming, he managed to squeeze out a smile and said:
"Young Master is here... These three little ladies have suffered a great crime."

"En." Liu Bang responded, looking at the three of them, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Qin Liu stretched his waist, held the cattail fan in his hand, stood up and said:

"Everyone has seen that these three people colluded with the bandits and hurt my little husband. This is the end!"

After saying that, he walked up to the three of them, lifted the chin of one of them with a cattail leaf fan, then spat in distaste, and said to the yamen servant beside him:
"It's almost done, let's take off their clothes, so that the judges can inspect the products of Sibeilou!"

He said this loudly, and the girls in the crowd turned their heads when they heard it, and even many gentlemen frowned.

Upstairs in Sibei, the old bustard was crying like a tearful man, and the man beside her didn't say a word, just staring down.

"Ok?"

Qin Liu seemed to hear someone talking, and approached one of them: "What did you say?"

The girl had long lost her strength, and her body was so numb that she couldn't feel the pain. She stopped and paused, and finally let Qin Liu hear her words clearly.

Just at this moment, the slave immediately jumped up, turned around, took the whip, and slammed it towards her.
