Chapter 12 Plotting to capture Liu Yun
What the soldiers didn't know was that things were by no means as simple as they imagined, and during the fifteen-day march, a lot of things happened in Houhan. When Guo Wei had just led the army to attack Kaifeng City, someone had already sent troops to crusade against Guo Wei, that was the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty, His Excellency Liu Chong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, who had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and could fight well, and was one of Liu Zhiyuan's most effective generals before. was arranged by Liu Zhiyuan on the front line of the war with the Khitans.
Liu Chong is a great wall of the Later Han Dynasty, and after Liu Zhiyuan's death, Liu Chong became the first warlord of the Later Han Dynasty. He never joined the court to report on his work, and never paid national taxes, and used all the taxes to expand his army, and we can imagine the size and quality of his army. Liu Chong was actually slow from the beginning, and when Guo Wei rebelled, Liu Chong didn't know anything: when Liu Chonggang knew that Guo Wei was rebelling, Guo Wei had already entered Kaifeng: when Liu Chong ordered his troops to prepare to attack, Guo Wei had already elected his son as the emperor, and there was no chance to fight Guo Wei.
Liu Chong's son became the emperor, Liu Chong slapped his thigh, great, ten years less struggle, what are you fighting Guo Wei, and revenge Liu Chengyou, you him. What could be better than this result? There is no need to fight, the territory of the Later Han Dynasty is in hand, and he is now the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Chong is not a fool, he can't say that he believes Guo Wei all, he immediately sent a messenger to Beijing to find out the truth, the most important thing is to meet Guo Wei and the Queen Mother, the news quickly came back, the news is true, especially when the envoy met Guo Wei, Guo Wei cried incessantly, crying that he was guilty. Since ancient times, no emperor has been killed by soldiers. Guo Wei's cry moved the messenger, this is Guo Wei's hidden pain, Guo Wei has a tattoo on his face, it is a sparrow, this is Guo Wei was stabbed when he was in the army before. Since ancient times, soldiers in the army will tattoo a blue on their face so that they can easily catch you after escaping, and there is no way to remove this tattoo, and the only profession that needs a tattoo as a soldier is a robber, which is why a good man is not a soldier. We don't have this statement now, and now brother soldiers are a profession that people worship.
We all know that Guo Wei has a nickname, called Guo Qi'er, because Guo Wei has this tattoo on his face.
Liu Chong thought about Guo Wei's recent performance, the withdrawal of troops from the capital, and the reason for killing Liu Chengyou, and Guo Wei also said that we have sent Feng Dao, the most virtuous and respected Taishi in the court, to meet the new monarch, and asked Liu Chong not to doubt it, and quickly invite the new monarch on the road. It can be understood whether Guo Wei really supports the new monarch. The fact is that Liu Chong really asked Guo Wei to play it, and he played it thoroughly.
Hearing the news, Liu Chong was relieved. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Liu Chong prepared everything and sent his son on the road as soon as Feng Dao arrived. Child, just run forward, the faster you run, the sooner you can sit on the throne, and the sooner your father and I can become the emperor.
But at this time, Liu Chong's military advisor raised objections. It turned out that this was the last time God saved the Later Han Empire, but Liu Chong didn't appreciate it at all, and he kicked God's smiling old face with one kick. Who is the one who calls for a stop? Taiyuan Shaoyin Li Xiang, Li Xiang said: "My lord, think about it, why didn't Guo Wei hand over the throne to others, but to your father and son?" Doesn't this just show that Guo Wei is jealous of you, in order to stabilize your father and son? Now we should not send Gongzi to the capital, we should take advantage of Guo Wei's unstable foothold, just robbed the capital and lost the hearts of the people, led the troops out of Taihang Mountain, called on the heroes of the world to fight Guo Wei, and put down the traitors in one fell swoop. Even if it is a faction, it should carry heavy protection with it in case of accidents. Li Xiang's mind is running extremely fast, and the head of analysis is the Tao, but unfortunately, Liu Chongman's mind is full of the throne and the throne, and after Li Xiang's tirade was over, Liu Chong said concisely: "Come on, cut Li Xiang for me." Li Xiang died like this. In this way, Liu Chong killed the First Army Division under his command, just because this person did not listen to his words. It can be seen how difficult it is to be a loyal minister.
Then, Liu Chong sent his son Liu Yun to Kaifeng City at a rapid pace, and Guo Wei had already left Kaifeng City at this time and moved to the border. When Liu Yun saw that Guo Wei was gone, he also put his mind at ease, and then began to move towards Kaifeng openly.
However, Liu Yun ended here, and when Liu Yun walked to Shangqiu, less than 100 miles away from Kaifeng City, Guo Wei calculated that Liu Yun would never have time to run back to Jinyang, and suddenly Huang Qi became the emperor, and quickly sent troops to occupy Kaifeng, and then patted his subordinate generals Wang Jun and Guo Chong to go to Shangqiu and "protect" Liu Yun, in fact, he held Liu Yun hostage.
Then when Guo Wei entered Kaifeng City, Liu Yun had become a prisoner, and Liu Chong still didn't know it. Everything is still because of Liu Chong's most fatal flaw, the communication is too slow. Guo Wei became the emperor like this.
Will it end so simply? What kind of reaction will Liu Chong have? We'll talk about that next time.
