Chapter 11 The Chu-Han Marriage
Nearly a month later, far to the northwest of Da Qin's mainland, there was an extremely vast land.
Countless green vegetation grows on the land,
But it's not those naturally growing grasslands, but criss-crossing fields,
Between the fields are seedlings and vines, mostly potatoes, and some other crops.
In the fields are countless farmers in simple clothes, busy.
On the road next to the field, there are people coming and going, everyone is running for themselves.
At the end of the road is a city,
All this seems to be no different from Da Qin.
At this time, an old figure on the city wall was looking at everything around him with a complicated expression, and murmured to himself,
"This is not my hometown after all."
Because no matter how similar this place is to Da Qin,
Everything has traces of Da Qin,
As long as you look carefully, you can find that the people here are completely different from the people in Da Qin.
All of them have white skin, blond hair and blue eyes, but they are somewhat similar to the people on the Daqin grassland.
Then with some emotion, he said to a middle-aged man next to him.
"Zhang Liang, do you think I will be able to return to my hometown in my lifetime?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang glanced at Liu Bang and said lightly,
"King Han, we have spent more than ten years. During this period, we have gone through many hardships and exhausted all our efforts."
"You are the King of Han who established today's Han Dynasty, and this is your hometown."
Liu Bang was silent for a moment. Of course he understood what the other party meant, but the older a person gets, the more he wants to return to the familiar place where he was born.
And he has had a premonition recently that his days may be numbered.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly coughing for a while, Liu Bang frowned slightly and asked,
"Have Da Qin's caravan arrived? The barbarians in the west have been making trouble more and more fiercely recently. I'm afraid there will be a big war in a few days."
"We need those things."
They have been expanding westward with the Huns over the years,
In the first few years, the expansion effect was extremely good. His big men had grown from a small territory to
It has developed to this day. In terms of the size of the territory alone, it is already comparable to the four or five medium-sized counties of Da Qin.
This is because he played a steady role and did not expand blindly.
The territory controlled by the Huns now is probably almost as big as that of Great Qin.
I have to say, this world is really big.
The population is just slightly smaller.
In any case, this kind of progress is satisfactory.
After opening up the territory, he also became king.
Only after arriving to the west.
They began to encounter some obstacles. The resistance of the originally weak barbarians suddenly became extremely determined.
The news they heard was,
Farther west, there was also a huge country called Rome.
It is also expanding to surrounding areas,
These barbarians have no way out, that's why they are so determined.
"King Han, Da Qin's caravan is already in the Huns' territory and will come soon."
"Only this time, these barbarians are coming with force. It seems that they are under great pressure."
Zhang Liang analyzed slowly at this time.
They are not afraid of these barbarians, but having a huge country to the west is not a good thing for them.
Liu Bang sneered at this time and said,
"These barbarians are now surrounded by enemies on both sides, but they dare to attack my big man."
"What does it mean? It means these people think that I am easy to bully."
"It seems that my king's long-standing gentle policy has given these people the wrong impression."
Affected by the Qin Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty expanded along the way, it was still very good to the people at the bottom.
Sometimes they even become prisoners of war.
There are still benefits to doing this.
Many barbarians who could not survive in other places came directly because of its reputation.
I am willing to live among the big men,
I am also willing to join the army and defend this place.
So the cohesion of the big men is still very strong now.
But the disadvantages have now emerged. After the other party faced pressure, they did not dare to fight to the death with those people.
But he dared to attack the big man,
"Tell Fan Kuai that our army does not need prisoners this time."
"By the way, let him bring Liu Heng with him."
Liu Heng is his and Bo Ji's son. He is now sixteen years old and considered an adult.
After hearing this, Zhang Liang hesitated and said,
"King Han, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. It is better for the prince to stay in the capital."
Liu Bang shook his head very calmly and said,
"Liu Heng is a kid with a cautious mind. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Now is the time for the big man to expand. He must have a different mind."
"Think about it again, what did Zhao Lang do when he was a teenager?"
When Zhao Lang was mentioned, Zhang Liang's eyes turned red obviously.
Now that the tyrant is dead, his hatred has naturally been transferred to the other party.
But he also knew that Liu Bang was right. When Zhao Lang was a teenager,
He had already led his people to start a rebellion and had the King of the Six Kingdoms in his hands.
So he said,
"What the King of Han said is that I will make arrangements right now."
Just when Zhang Liang was about to accept the order and leave, a messenger hurried over and said,
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have something urgent to report."
"We have contacted the Overlord of Chu State and brought back a letter."
Hearing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel a flash of confusion in his eyes. He hadn't heard any news about Chu for a long time.
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said with disbelief,
"Have you contacted Chu State?"
He did make this arrangement at the beginning, but after so many years, he almost gave up hope.
This world is really too big for them now.
But I didn't expect that I would contact the other party now.
He directly took the messenger and the letter in his hand,
He was about to open it, but he quickly restrained the urge, handed the letter to Liu Bang next to him, and then said,
"King of Han, searching for the State of Chu was my original order. I originally wanted to fight against the State of Qin together."
After giving a rough explanation, Liu Bang glanced at the other party with a complicated expression.
There will be no further investigation,
He opened the letter and after reading it, handed it to Zhang Liang, frowned and said,
"The world will not be peaceful again."
Zhang Liang also quickly read the letter and said angrily,
"The Qin Dynasty is indeed greedy. Now that they have unified the six kingdoms and taken over the grasslands and the Western Regions, Goguryeo will be theirs sooner or later."
"But they are still not satisfied. The Chu State has fled so far away, and they actually want to start a war!"
Listening to Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang said with some emotion at this time,
"Because they want the whole world."
As a king now, he can slowly understand the other party's thoughts.
Unifying the world is what every king should do.
Zhang Liang frowned and said,
"King Han, now the Chu State wants to unite with us to resist the Qin Dynasty. I will see if this can be done."
Now no one force can fight against a large force alone. Only by uniting can there be a glimmer of hope.
Liu Bang also nodded. He looked at the problem from a different perspective now, but he still said with a bit of worry,
"But how can we stabilize the alliance?"
There must always be a token for both parties to form an alliance.
At this moment, the messenger said with a bit of weirdness,
"Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that the Overlord himself said that he wanted to marry you..."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up slightly and he said,
"Did the Overlord say, get married?"
"King Han, getting married between Chu and Han is indeed a good thing!"
