No one will give up showing his value to the emperor, and as a prince, he will not give up the opportunity to make his father feel like a great heir.
Liu Shen is young, but it depends on what kind of family he grew up in and who he came into contact with.
Some teachers who taught Liu Shen clearly or implicitly taught Liu Shen that as the eldest son of the emperor, he should be the best prince, and expected Liu Shen to assume more responsibilities.
The so-called undertaking more responsibilities is nothing more than becoming the prince and being the person who will lead the country in the future.
As Liu Shen's biological mother, Cui wansi taught Liu Shen without any disguise that she must run to the throne of the prince. Whether she can sit on the throne of the prince is not only related to Liu Shen's life, but also determines whether her queen can sit firmly. She also mentioned more or less how much effort and price the Cui family paid for Liu Shen.
Liu Shen, who has carried the hope of countless people since he was born, will not be ignorant no matter how young he is.
Of course, Liu Shen longed for the throne of Prince. What he was taught was that he should express his desire to become prince without disguise, but it was obviously not enough to have desire alone. He had to make his own efforts.
Han Dynasty, whether it is the Western or Eastern Han Dynasty, is obviously not born earlier than other brothers to sit on the throne of the crown prince. It is necessary to show their ability so that the emperor can think that he can inherit the great unification.
Should the Han Empire have no blood relationship with Liu, the hometown of the former Han Dynasty? Even Liu Yan can't judge this.
However, no matter whether the old Liu family of the current Han Empire has anything to do with the old Liu family of the former Han Dynasty, it is obvious that Liu Yan will not hand over the country to a mediocre successor.
Liu Yan sent Liu Shen to the army is a very obvious move. Once Liu Shen arrived in the army and did not show what he wanted to see, the impression score must be reduced.
On the contrary, if Liu Shen performs very well in the army, he can not only integrate into the army, but also be recognized by the officers and men, and even establish some meritorious deeds, it will certainly make Liu Yan feel happy and gratified.
"The father won't want to see a shrinking son!" Liu Shen shook his fist and said firmly, "I will be here until I enter Sasan!"
Xu Guang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He would say those words to Liu Shen. In fact, it was not his own idea. It was explained by his father Xu Zheng before he came.
And Xu Zheng is certainly not just expressing his will. Should it be the common idea of the military?
The military certainly hopes that the best candidate for the crown prince of the Empire will be close to him. There is no more effective way to deepen friendship and impression than to let him have more experience in the army.
The emperor's sending the eldest son of the emperor to the army itself is a great opportunity for the military to establish friendship with the future prince, and then let him go to the battlefield to participate in the war, eliminating the pure "going through the motions" and forming a real "relationship" with the military. If we let him participate in another war and make some meritorious contributions, will he not be successfully branded as an army?
The Han Army on the East Bank of the pengchi River successively pulled out.
The firearm troops behind the mat are a group of 5000 infantry and 1300 artillery. Their task is to destroy an enemy force in the middle and upper reaches of the Pinchi river.
"Our targets are the remaining Roman legions and their vassals." Liu Shen learned the news from his immediate superior: "compared with other enemy troops who fled successively, this enemy seems to have given up running."
In fact, it's not that marus escaped without his troops, but that they got bad news one after another before they were ready to break through.
The more than 200000 anti Han axis coalition forces on the main battlefield completely collapsed and seemed to be blocked by the Han army. After being blocked, there were still anti Han axis coalition forces who hoped to gather again.
The main force of the anti Han axis coalition army is dead and scattered, which is only one of the bad news. For marus, a unit that still maintains its organizational system, the devastating flight of the garrison of the hard-built third line of defense is the general bad news, and there is no need to care about other bad news.
It took two months to build a defense line that consumed unknown human and material resources. They had expected that even if the war ahead was not smooth, they could persist for about a month no matter how they retreated to this defense line. Unexpectedly, the hard-built defense line not only did not play a blocking role, but also was likely to become a forward base for the Han Empire to continue to advance westward.
Knowing that the garrison on the third line of defense fled without fighting, marus, who guessed that albata must have escaped, knew very well that he and others were finished.
They are the Roman army. Everyone knows that the short legged army, even the forced army, can only run 30 miles a day. It is absolutely impossible to evacuate safely to sassanne.
After knowing that he could not withdraw, marus was calm when he scolded the Persians as waste.
They are really short legs. On the premise that they can't withdraw, they might as well stay in a temporarily strengthened camp because they go out and are caught up by the Han army.
"Tell the Han Army that I want to meet the highest commander present." Marus watched the Han Army pull out without any action: "as the first power in the world, I believe the nobles of the Han Empire will not refuse?"
A strong country will have the pride of a strong country. Even if it is destined to face failure, what it hopes is to get a dignified defeat.
Marus did not think that Rome was a weak country. Even if it was to be defeated, it should be defeated frankly. It was best to duel with the enemy who was also the supreme commander, and then die in the spotlight.
"Huh?" Qin song received the visitors from Rome. He thought it was the other party who wanted to surrender. Unexpectedly, he invited the duel: "you are doomed to defeat. Why should I agree to the duel?"
"Cyris is undoubtedly a powerful country, and Rome is also a powerful country." Jon bass looked strange: "we are different from those foolish countries. As a powerful country, we should have our own universal laws. Giving the supreme commander of the belligerents a decent ending is due mutual respect."
Qin song was stunned, then nodded and said, "I'll meet him."
Jon bass saluted respectfully and turned away.
Han people have the concept of "recognizing heroes and valuing heroes" and the concept of respecting the same strong. However, it is very difficult to meet an enemy who can give respect, especially when fighting with foreign nationalities.
"Roman, very interesting." Qin Song said to the left and right, "they are worthy of being a race similar to us. At the same time, they also have the bearing to know us."
They interpreted the meaning of the Romans as that the Roman general opposite was very clear about the outcome of the next defeat, intended to end the war here with his own decent disappointment, and exchanged his own death for the fact that the Han army could properly treat the Romans after the defeat.
"Our victory is in hand..." Zhao Ping said with less approval: "why should the school captain take personal risks? Moreover, the other party may not be able to cheat. He wants to try to cause chaos in our army by killing the school captain..."
"We are different from the army in the conventional sense." Qin song was very clear about the risks. Without any concern, he said, "killing me can cause chaos in the army? That's because the other party thinks too much. If I'm really killed, please ask Zhao Changshi to bury me with the owner of the enemy."
In the Han Empire, even the county soldiers would not collapse as soon as the commander died. It was the next level officers who automatically replaced them as new commanders. Although some degree of chaos cannot be completely avoided, fatal chaos is impossible.
Soon after Jon bass returned, their barracks doors were opened, and teams of fiery red Roman soldiers came out in line. Soon, one rectangular array after another was formed in front of the barracks, and one military array after another formed a horizontal array line.
After the arrival of the Han Army, 5000 riflemen dispatched 3000 array lines directly in front, 500 riflemen on the other two wings covered the artillery to build a position, and the last 1000 riflemen stayed in the rear as a reserve team.
The two armies stood at a distance of 500 meters until more than 10 people from the two armies moved forward, and then their array lines began to move forward until they were about 120 meters apart.
At a distance of 120 meters, people with good eyesight can't see each other's appearance with the naked eye. They can only recognize each other's general dress style.
"Do they dress like us?" Ji Hai lowered his voice and said to Cai Hao standing on his side, "they are red, we are red."
Cai Hao, the youngest son of CAI you, wondered, "is there something wrong with your eyes? Apart from the similar color, do we show two thighs? Do we wear that kind of hard leather armor? Do we only have short spears, shields and short swords?"
They compared, of course, the uniforms of the standing army of the Han Empire with cold weapons.
The cold weapon regular army of the Han Empire has red robes on the upper body, black trousers on the lower body, leggings on the lower legs, armor evolved from armor to plate armor, and some will wear willow leaf armor or fish scale armor.
The regular army of Rome has been wearing short robes or clothes for thousands of years, with hard leather armor or lobster metal forged armor on the upper body, skirt armor on the lower body, but no pants and metal Leggings on the legs.
As Cai Hao said, what is the same except that the color is close?
"Temperament, I mean temperament!" Ji Hai forcibly defended: "look at them. Even in the face of the current situation, they don't look like they have been counselled. They have our 50% style."
Cai Hao nodded in relative agreement.
"Shut up!" Xu Guang warned Ji Hai more than once, but he never changed: "next time, you don't even have to fight with a military stick. Let you charge alone!"
Xu Guang was speechless that their firearm army had long been not a traditional uniform, but a more straight military uniform, and the color of the military uniform was also changed to dark green. What strength did the two scum talk about.
In the middle of the battle, Qin song has faced marus about five meters apart.
"Dear general cyris." Marus turned down from his horse, untied the shield tied to the war horse, took out the short sword around his waist, and said, "it's a great honor to have this fight with you, which is destined to be recorded in poetry, under the attention of the two armies."
They didn't carry a translator. Without anyone to translate, Qin song couldn't understand what marus was talking about.
Qin song didn't plan to dismount at first. He was going to have a riding war. Seeing that marus dismounted and invited a step war, he thought about turning over and dismounting.
As he was going to fight a cavalry battle, Qin song wore Knight style armor. When he got off the horse, he needed to return the knight style skirt armor in order to facilitate the infantry battle.
Marus saw that Qin song stood in place and waited when he returned the skirt armor that would become a burden. He somehow understood that the other party wanted to fight on horseback before.
Riding is a long weapon, which is more suitable. Qin song just held a horse.
Since it was a step battle, Ma Shuo must not be so suitable. Qin song handed Ma Shuo to his own soldiers. He also took off the shield from the war horse. However, compared with the large-area Tower Shield held by Ma Ruth, his shield is a smaller round shield, and then took out the war sword around his waist.
The two protagonists of the duel took a few steps forward when they were ready, and the soldiers from both sides retreated.
"It's actually to meet your wishes before you die." Knowing that marus didn't understand, Qin song still said, "I could shoot you with a crossbow on my horse just now."
Marus had learned Chinese, but the learning time was too short. He could only understand a few words. He just understood the word "riding a crossbow" and nodded: "you have the pride of nobility."
It means that he agreed to fight, followed the fighting method of the former commanders of the two armies, and did not use outside moves.
During the dialogue, the two men have stepped forward to launch an assault. After approaching, there is the metal collision sound caused by the intersection of the sword and the shield.
The two men were fighting, and their respective armies were cheering for their master general.
The Romans called the name of marus.
On this side of the Han Army, they shouted in unison, "Wan Sheng!"
There are so many people looking at themselves and shouting cheers. Qin song and marus in the fight are more excited, and the fight is more fierce and wonderful.
"Is it necessary to do this?" Liu Shen asked Huang Xin, his immediate boss: "press it directly, destroy the enemy, and it's over?"
Huang Xin would not neglect Liu Shen and patiently explained: "due to the propaganda of the Persians and Romans, the Han's wind evaluation in all ethnic groups is very bad. Duhu and song Changshi think it is necessary to improve the Han's wind evaluation. The reason why Qin Xiaowei agreed to the Roman general's request is that there is a way to achieve the goal."
Qin song seized the opportunity to sweep Malus to the ground with his sweeping legs, and did not let himself bully him. With a sword, he split the short sword in Malus's hand, and the tip of the sword pointed in the middle of Malus's forehead.
The Roman cheer stopped in an instant.
The Han Army roared even more excitedly, "Wan Sheng"
