Chapter 258

After the two lists were distributed, Gu Shanhe harvested more than 10 million emotional points.

In the side hall of the Imperial Palace, only Gu Shanhe, Ying Zheng, and Liu Bang remained.

In the next three hours, Gu Shanhe briefly told Liu Bang about the history of the entire Han Dynasty.

When Liu Bang knew the history of the entire Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's face looked like a dye shop.

One moment he was flushed with excitement for his promising descendants like Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, patting his thigh and cheering;

The next moment, he was so angry at the power of the relatives, Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han, and the troublesome things at the end of the Han Dynasty that he blew his beard and stared, almost overturning the table.

"Damn it! That old boy Wang Mang dares to usurp my Liu family's throne?"

"And those unpromising descendants, being played around by eunuchs and relatives!"

Liu Bang took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth, and complained to Gu Shanhe.

"Immortal Master, tell me, why can't the descendants of later generations all be like Liu Che and Liu Xiu to win face for me?"

Gu Shanhe smiled and poured him another cup,

"Little Liu, a dynasty lasts for hundreds of years, with ups and downs, and the metabolism of personnel is the norm. There are wise monarchs, and naturally there are muddled ones."

"The key lies in whether the foundation is solid, whether the system is reasonable, and whether it can be corrected in time."

"Now with the arrival of me and Brother Zheng, the future of the Han Dynasty may not be impossible to rewrite."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly from the side: "Little Liu, did you hear that? Don't just scold the descendants, first clean up the mess in front of you."

"The Xiongnu are still jumping around in the north, the Baiyue have not been fully subdued, and the vassal kings in the country have different thoughts... You, this emperor, are not sitting securely."

Liu Bang was choked and laughed: "Brother Zheng is right."

"So isn't this waiting for the Immortal Master and Brother Zheng to help!"

He rubbed his hands and leaned closer to Gu Shanhe.

"Immortal Master, look, what should we do next? Who should we hit first? How to hit?"

Gu Shanhe had long had a plan.

Helping Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty, to make up for regrets and achieve a more perfect unification is his mission for this trip and the key to brushing up the completion degree.

The biggest foreign trouble in the early Han Dynasty was undoubtedly the Xiongnu.

"To resist foreign aggression, one must first settle internal affairs, but now the Han Dynasty has just been established, and internal affairs are handled by Xiao He, Cao Can, and others, so there is no major chaos for the time being."

"And the Xiongnu have repeatedly invaded the border, which is a heart-and-belly trouble. We should use thunderous momentum to destroy the Xiongnu first and deter all directions."

"After that, the Baiyue, Southwest Yi, and even more distant lands outside civilization can be planned slowly."

Gu Shanhe spread out a simple world map he brought and pointed to the vast grassland in the north.

"Two Majesties, I intend to use 100,000 Qin troops as the spearhead, and 400,000 Han troops as the wings and reinforcements, combining 500,000 troops to go out of the fortress to attack the north, complete the work in one battle, and completely solve the Xiongnu trouble."

"500,000?!"

Liu Bang gasped. Since he ascended the throne, he had never fought such a wealthy battle!

The Baideng Siege was 70,000 against 400,000 and almost finished, now he can actually pull out 500,000 to take the initiative?

"Immortal Master, this... food and equipment..."

"Food and grass have the instant noodles and compressed biscuits I brought for emergencies, which can support the army for half a month of high-intensity combat."

"The follow-up will be coordinated by Xiao He to respond to the domestic food and fodder. Equipment..."

Gu Shanhe smiled slightly, "Since I am an Immortal Master, I naturally cannot just bring some food."

"Firearms are the key to victory."

"Firearms?"

Liu Bang's eyes lit up, "Is it that kind of thing that can sound like thunder and collapse the city wall from far away?"

"Almost, but more suitable for field combat."

Gu Shanhe nodded, "You can select agile soldiers in the army, be urgently trained by the firearm instructors (Han Xin and others) in the Qin army, and form the 'Divine Machine Battalion'. Combined with cavalry and infantry, it is enough to sweep the grassland."

"Good! Just do it!"

Liu Bang slapped his thigh and became excited.

"With the Immortal Master's immortal firearms and the elite Qin army brought by Brother Zheng, this time if I don't twist off the Xiongnu Chanyu's head and use it as a night pot, I will write my Liu character upside down!"

The army gathered, and the drill ground pointed soldiers.

500,000 troops gathered outside Chang'an City, banners covering the sun, and murderous aura soaring to the sky.

The Qin army was in black clothes and black armor, silent as a mountain, with a strict formation, carrying a bloody murderous aura from a hundred battles.

Although the Han army was slightly inferior in equipment and discipline, there were many people, and the morale was also very high under Liu Bang's encouragement and the rumor of "Immortal Master's help".

On the general-pointing platform, Gu Shanhe, Ying Zheng, and Liu Bang stood side by side.

Generals such as Meng Tian, Zhou Bo, and Fan Kuai stood solemnly under the platform.

When the newly appointed "Deputy Commander of the Divine Machine Battalion" (the main commander is concurrently held by Meng Tian) came out, an interesting scene happened.

I saw a teenager whose face still had some greenness, but whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle and whose posture was tall and straight, and a middle-aged man with a calm face, deep eyes, and the demeanor of a great general, came out at the same time and responded "Nu!"

The two looked at each other and were stunned.

"You... who are you?"

Middle-aged Han Xin looked at the teenager in front of him who was almost exactly the same as himself when he was young, and a stormy sea surged in his heart.

Teenage Han Xin was even more dumbfounded, pointing at middle-aged Han Xin, and then looking at Gu Shanhe on the platform, stuttering.

"You... you... Immortal Master, he... how can he..."

Gu Shanhe smiled and opened his mouth: "Han Xin, this is the mystery of parallel time and space."

"The two of you are the same person from different time and space."

Parallel time and space? The same person?

Hundreds of thousands of people on the drill ground, including Liu Bang, Xiao He, and others, were confused, but they roughly understood—

The Han Xin of this world has been named Marquis of Huaiyin, and the Han Xin of another world is already a great general under the "Immortal Master" and "First Emperor"!

Teenage Han Xin's eyes burst into amazing brilliance, and his eyes looking at middle-aged Han Xin were full of worship and longing.

Middle-aged Han Xin had a complex expression, nodded to teenage Han Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Diligently work hard, the future is promising."

He seemed to see himself who was depressed and served as a halberd-wielding man under Xiang Yu's account.

The "Soldier Immortals" of the two eras met in this peculiar way, destined to collide with more brilliant tactical sparks on the future battlefield.

The night before the expedition.

Liu Bang rubbed his hands and looked at Gu Shanhe eagerly.

"Immortal Master... that... sword flying... can you let me experience it? Just once! I promise not to move around!"

Ying Zheng looked at him with contempt: "Look at your lack of ambition."

Gu Shanhe laughed: "Okay, let's take the Majesty and the King of Han to see the night view of Chang'an and the magnificence of our army camp."

After speaking, his heart moved, the Heavenly Dao Sword came out of its sheath, suspended in the air, and instantly became larger, enough for three people to stand.

Gu Shanhe stepped on it first, Ying Zheng followed closely, standing as stable as Mount Tai.

Liu Bang had weak legs, and under the support of a breeze from Gu Shanhe, he stood up tremblingly, clutching Gu Shanhe's sleeve tightly.

"Rise."

The flying sword slowly rose into the air, several feet off the ground, and then began to fly at low speed along the Chang'an city wall and the continuous military camps outside the city.

The night wind brushed his face, and under his feet were the lights of ten thousand homes and the camp bonfires like stars falling to the ground, which was spectacular.

"Wow—! It flew! It really flew!"

Liu Bang closed his eyes tightly at first, then secretly opened a slit, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, shouting and screaming.

"Immortal Master! You are truly a living immortal!"

Although Ying Zheng was not the first time (Gu Shanhe had taken him to fly), he was still excited to experience it again.

After flying a circle, Liu Bang's feet touched the ground, and he bowed to Gu Shanhe:

"Immortal Master! From now on, you are the Immortal Master of the Great Han! Just like Brother Zheng's side, you must bless my Great Han country to be solid forever and my descendants to be prosperous!"

Gu Shanhe helped him up, which was considered accepting this "part-time job".

Anyway, one is the National Teacher, and the other is the Immortal Master, which does not conflict.

With the coordination of the two Soldier Immortals Han Xin who are proficient in infantry, cavalry, and fire coordination tactics.

Coupled with the suppression of veteran generals like Meng Tian, and the "black technology" (gunpowder, simple artillery, improved crossbow arrows) provided by Gu Shanhe and sufficient logistics (instant noodles are enough).

This war lost suspense from the beginning.

The main force of the Han army attracted the Xiongnu cavalry to gather, and the Qin army "Divine Machine Battalion" set up hundreds of simple cast-iron artillery and tens of thousands of fire guns in the preset position.

When the Xiongnu cavalry launched a charge as usual, what greeted them was a terrifying metal storm never seen before!

"Boom boom boom—!"

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

The artillery roared together, shaking for a hundred miles, and the shells fell into the dense cavalry group, blowing people and horses over.

The fire guns fired in turns, lead bullets like rain, within a hundred steps, leather armor was like paper.

The Xiongnu were confused, their bows and arrows could not reach the enemy at all, and the war horses were frightened and ran around in the loud noise and smoke.

Immediately after, the rested Qin heavy infantry and Han cavalry killed from both wings to harvest the defeated soldiers.

The battle turned into a one-sided massacre and pursuit.

The Xiongnu Chanyu fled north in a panic, his troops suffered heavy casualties, and there were countless captives.

The Qin-Han coalition army swept across the desert south, completely solving the Xiongnu trouble.
