Chapter 629: East and West Meet
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Kui Huan intended to take refuge in Liu Xiu, and the envoy who came to Luoyang was naturally very polite when he saw Liu Xiu.
In the main hall, the envoy respectfully knelt down to Liu Xiu and said: "Weichen is a sacrificial wine under the command of General Xiliang, Su Heng, I will see Your Majesty here!" ”
In ancient times, some large-scale celebrations had to be sacrificed to the gods with wine, and the people who sacrificed to the gods were usually the elders, and the official position of sacrificing wine was derived from this, which meant the elder and the chief.
Like the Doctor's Sacrifice Wine, which means the Chief Doctor, and like the Commander's Sacrifice Wine, which means the Chief Military Division. (During the Three Kingdoms period, Guo Jia's official position under Cao Cao was the military advisor sacrificial wine.) )
Liu Xiu looked at Su Heng who was kneeling below. Su Heng is in his forties, his skin is slightly dark, his appearance is thoughtful, and his temperament is different from that of Xiliang region, which is more elegant and elegant.
The first impression of Su Heng was not bad, Liu Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Su, please get up." ”
His official position of sacrificing wine is not Liu Xiu's, but Kui's seal, in Liu Xiu's place, Kui's Huan's Xiliang generals are all self-proclaimed, which is illegal, not to mention Kui's official seal? Hearing that Liu Xiu called himself Mr. Su, Su Heng didn't care, he owed Liu Xiu, and said: "The general has always admired His Majesty, and he deeply admires and admires His Majesty's benevolence and reputation, and is impressed by it. Weichen came to Luoyang this time, yes
On the orders of the general, I would like to show your majesty that the general is willing to be your majesty's minister, and look forward to your majesty's horse! ”
His remarks made all the ministers present happy. Kui Huan's ability is very outstanding, and there are countless capable people under his command, occupying Xiliang, no one can match it, and he is a veritable emperor of Xiliangtu.
It can be said that Kui Huan's prestige and status in Xiliang can be completely comparable to Liu Xiu's prestige and status in Hebei. If it is really as Su Heng said, Kui Huan is willing to bow down to his own side, it will undoubtedly improve his own strength a lot.
At that time, the northeast, north, and northwest of the whole country will be within the scope of your control!
And the most important point is that after Kui Huan surrenders to his side, his own side can form a flanking attack on the Red Mei Army in Chang'an. Luoyang is in the east, Xiliang is in the west, and the east and west sides can be encircled in Chang'an.
Liu Xiu listened to Su Heng's words, his heart was beating faster, and his blood was surging, but there was no expression on his face, he was still smiling, very calm.
He said with a smile: "The Wei family is a big family of Longyou, and the general is a young man, erudite and talented, I have already heard that if General Wei can help the Han family, it will be the blessing of my Han family and the blessing of the people of the world!" ”
Liu Xiu's words are not too exaggerated, the Wei family is indeed a famous family in the Longyou region.
Kui's uncles Wei Cui and Wei Yi are two heroes in the Longyou area, not to mention the famous ones in the Longyou area, even in the entire Liangzhou, they are also very famous.
As early as the last years of Wang Mang, when the rebel armies such as Green Forest, Red Eyebrow, and Tongma rose together, Wei Cui and Wei Yi planned to rebel.
After Kui Huan learned about it, he hurriedly stopped it, and his words were, soldiers, murderous things! What is the sin of the family? It is too risky to rebel, and once it fails, the entire family will be implicated and will be killed together. Wei Cui and Wei Yi didn't listen to Kui's clamour, gathered the knights of the rivers and lakes, rose up, and killed the Taishou of Hanyang County. It was only after Wei Cui and Wei Yi officially rebelled that they realized a very important problem, neither of them led the rebel army
In the end, the two found Kui Huan and let Kui Huan be the leader of the rebel army.
Kui Huan is very famous in Longyou, mainly because he has read the scriptures and books, and he has also been an official in the state capital, so he is both talented and prestigious.
In the end, Kui, who strongly opposed the rebellion, became the leader of the Xiliang rebel army. Kui's forces in Xiliang began to build up step by step from this time.
Later, the Green Forest Army captured Chang'an, and Liu Xuan became the first emperor of Chang'an. Kui Huan led the Xiliang rebel army to Chang'an and took refuge with Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan attached great importance to Kui Huan, and soon canonized Kui Huan as the right general.
Wei Cui, Wei Yi and others also retained their original titles.
It's just that not long after the Xiliang rebel army defected to Liu Xuan, they couldn't stay in Chang'an, especially Wei Cui and Wei Yi, who had great opinions on the first imperial court. The reason why they rebelled at the beginning was because of Wang Mang's tyranny, which made the world miserable and the people miserable
, the Sanfu area is in a miasma, and the people's grievances are boiling.
However, Wei Cui, Wei Yi and others, who are not from Liu Xuanyan's lineage, are soft-spoken, and they can't manage it if they want to, and it's useless to say it.
In the eyes of the brothers Wei Cui and Wei Yi, this Liu Xuan, I'm afraid it's not as good as Wang Mang, he desperately rebelled for the sake of the people of the world, but in the end, he can only assist such an emperor, is it worth it?
The two of them are calculating, so it's just the opposite! With the old brothers of the rebel army, they went north to Xiliang, and they didn't stay in Chang'an.
The two of them told Kui Huan about their plans. After all, Kui Huan is the leader of the Xiliang rebel army, rebelled against Liu Xuan, led the Xiliang army back to his hometown, and had to lead them to do it. But Kui Huan listened to the words of his two uncles, and was scared out of white sweat. And rebellion again? This is really thinking that my life is too long! Kui Huan superficially supported Wei Cui and Wei Yi's decision, but behind the scenes, he kept the matter secret to Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan
After learning of this, he was furious and directly ordered the execution of Wei Cui and Wei Yi, and praised Kui Huan for giving him a message, and promoted Kui Huan to the imperial doctor.
Relying on betraying his two uncles, Kui Huan was able to gain a firm foothold in the Imperial Court, and he also got along with Shen Tujian, Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, Hu Yin and other leaders of the Green Forest Department.
Later, it was revealed that these ministers were plotting to kidnap Liu Xuan. After the defeat, Kui Huan fled back to Xiliang, collected the old department, quickly controlled the entire Liangzhou, and became the soil emperor of Xiliang.
Kui Huan is such a person. Speaking of which, he is indeed a capable person, he must be talented and talented, and he must be capable and capable. will employ people, corporal Lixian, civil and military generals under his command, countless people; knew how to use troops, and in a very short period of time, he pacified all the forces that opposed him in Xiliang; will be scheming, Kui hustle and bustle in Xiliang, and there is not much movement, but it is very cool
state, but unknowingly controlled by him.
In terms of personal ability, even if Kui Huan is not as good as Liu Xiu, it will not be too far behind, but in terms of guts, Kui Huan is much worse than Liu Xiu.
As long as the word rebellion is mentioned in front of him, the first thing that comes to his mind is that his life is not guaranteed.
If Kui Huan is more bold, with his strength and prestige in Xiliang, he can completely follow Liu Xiu, Gongsun Shu, Liu Yong, etc., and claim the emperor himself. It's just that Kui Huan really doesn't have the courage to be the emperor.
At this time, the Luoyang Palace was not in the palace. Su Heng listened to Liu Xiu's praise of Kui Huan, and his face suddenly showed joy, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty thinks so highly of the major generals, thank you!" As he spoke, he bowed his head.
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him gently, signaling him to be flat.
He said slowly: "Right now, the red-eyed thief army occupies Chang'an, and the soldiers of our Han army can't attack it for a long time, if General Wei can send troops from Xiliang to attack the enemy and break the thieves in Chang'an City, it will be just around the corner!" ”
Su Heng's face was straight, and he said categorically: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, I, the Xiliang soldiers, will definitely go to the soup and go all out!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled, and praised: "Su Sai Wine is good! ”
The change in his address to Su Heng is also tantamount to showing that he has accepted Kui Huan's submission.
Su Heng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of official position the general will be after returning to His Majesty?" ”
This question is to ask the key, and it is also to ask what Kui Huan cares about the most.
At this time, Liu Xiu perfectly showed his super high emotional intelligence. He knows the person Kui Huan, understands his past, and understands what Kui Huan wants most now.
He said with a smile: "As long as General Wei is willing to return to the Han family, it will be a meritorious service to the Han family, and I can canonize General Wei as the general of Xiliang, in charge of Liangzhou and Shuofang!" ”
Shuofang County is not in Liangzhou, but in Bingzhou, bordering Liangzhou. What Liu Xiu means is that as long as you are willing to submit to me, you can continue to be your Liangzhou Emperor, and I can also give you one more Shuofang County.
Liu Xiu is also generous to others now, after all, the state is not within Liu Xiu's control, he promised to hand over Shuofang to the jurisdiction of Kui Huan, for him, there is no pain, no loss.
I have to say that Liu Xiu is too good at thinking about people's minds. What Kui Huan wants most now is his legal status in Liangzhou, so that he can rule Liangzhou openly.
Liu Xiu completely figured out his thoughts. Now Kui Huan proclaimed himself the general of Xiliang, and after taking refuge in Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu still named him the general of Xiliang, and his official position and even official name have not changed at all.
It seems that Liu Xiu didn't treat Kui Huan well and didn't give him an official rank, but in fact, even if Liu Xiu gave Kui Huan the title of king and made him the head of the three dukes, Kui Huan would not agree, and it was impossible for him to leave his Liangzhou lair.
Su Heng was overjoyed when he heard Liu Xiu's words, and immediately kowtowed forward, and said loudly: "General Weichen, thank you Your Majesty!" ”
No matter what the reason, in short, Kui Huan's defection to Liu Xiu has far-reaching impact and great significance. It not only added a big boost to Liu Xiu's Jianwu Imperial Court, but also made Liu Xiu's great cause of reunification a big step forward. The direct consequence of Kui's hustle and bustle to submit to Liu Xiu was that the Red Eyebrow Army's westward retreat was blocked. As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, Mo Yan calculated that it was not feasible for the Red Mei Army to retreat eastward, and Liu Xiu would definitely set up many obstacles in the east of Chang'an, so why
It is advisable to retreat to the west.
But how could Mo Yan have calculated that Kui, who was the king and hegemon in Xiliang, would suddenly bow down to Liu Xiu on a whim and become a subordinate of the Luoyang court.
In the current turbulent times, the pattern is changing so fast that no one can calculate what will happen tomorrow.
During this period of time, Luoyang has hardly received any good news, either Youzhou is tight, or the Han army is tight in Nanyang, and Liu Xiu's heart is also cloudy, as if a big stone has been pressed.
Kui's hustle and bustle is the only good news during this time, and it also makes Liu Xiu's mood a lot brighter.
Before Liu Xiu had time to be happy for a while, a shocking news came that Yin Guiren and Xu Meiren had disappeared.
Hearing Zhang Kun's report, Liu Xiu couldn't believe his ears, two big living people, one is a nobleman and the other is a beauty, are actually missing in the palace?
Zhang Kun brought in a little eunuch from outside the main hall, and after the little eunuch came in, he knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed forward again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave should die, Your Majesty spares your life!" Slaves and maids should be damned, please be merciful to Your Majesty! ”
Looking at the little eunuch who kowtowed like pounding garlic, Liu Xiu frowned and looked at Zhang Kun in puzzlement.
Zhang Kun bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid has already been interrogated, it is this thing that is not long-eyed, and it is out of the palace with Yin nobles and Xu Meiren!" The little eunuch was so frightened that he sweated like rain, and he kowtowed again and again. Liu Xiu's face sank and asked, "What the hell is going on, explain it clearly to me!" ”
