Chapter 292: Political Discord: The Liu Imperial Family and the Family Class
"Frightened too much?!" Liu Wei thought about it for a while, and then scolded hatefully: "A few days ago, the rebels Yang Biao and Zheng Tai led the rebels to besiege the palace, which really scared me a lot, these traitors should be killed, they really should be killed!" ”
Jin Liang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, since you hate Yang Biao and the others so much, why don't you come and kill them?!" Watching their heads roll off will definitely dispel your demons and should help your body recover! ”。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Wei laughed and said: "Father Shang's words are exactly what I mean, then I will go to prison and behead them." ”
The truth of the matter is that when Yang Biao and others led the troops to besiege the palace, Liu Biao was indeed frightened, so that he couldn't get hard in the first few days, but as long as he rested for a few days, he could recover as before, but the ginseng tea offered by Jin Liang made Liu Biao's body and mind comfortable on the surface, and his heart was wide and fat, but it also destroyed his treatment of that aspect, and Yang Biao and others' grievances at this point may never be cleared.
Before the war, Jin Liang didn't want to have any hidden dangers in Xiangyang, and all the leaders who participated in the rebellion had to be killed, but Jin Liang didn't want to personally supervise the beheading, so he persuaded Dong Zhao and Guo Jia, who did not have much affection for the Liu Han royal family, to persuade Liu Wei to behead these family ministers, so that the living family ministers had a grudge against the Liu Han royal family.
The Empress Dowager He Lian and Princess Liu Hua have lived in the inner palace for a long time, and they don't have too strong political vision, and they can't see the foresight of Jin Liang and his advisers, they just think that it is not in harmony with the emperor's supreme supervisor to behead the minister, but the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, under the instigation of Jin Liang, insisted that he must see Yang Biao, Liu Hong and others fall to the ground with their own eyes, and the Empress Dowager He Lian had no choice but to agree to be beheaded by the Son of Heaven Liu Biao.
Taifu Lu Zhi, Taishi Cai Yong, and Taibao Ma Riyan shoulder the heavy responsibility of assisting the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, if they see Jin Liang instigating Liu Bian's rebellion to kill the traitors of the family, they will definitely dissuade them, but the three of them are sick at home and ignore the government affairs, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu and others are far away from Xiangyang, and the Son of Heaven Liu Wei will enter the trap set by Jin Liang.
Jin Liang had led 50,000 men and horses away, and although he wanted to kill the rebellious ministers with his own hands, he knew that these heads would be of better use.
Outside the north gate of Xiangyang, Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and other family ministers who participated in the rebellion, as well as the men in their families, these influential family figures who opposed Jin Liang's rule, all knelt in the direction of Jin Liang's army.
The Son of Heaven Liu Wei sat at the head of the city, looking at these ministers of the family, it was they who besieged the palace and let themselves be frightened, and the following was sluggish, even if he retook the divine pill that Shi Daoren had passed on to him before, it would be useless, Liu Wei hated the root of his teeth, and shouted: "Cut!" ”
The Liu Han royal family, which was ensured by the Jinliang Central Army, was still good in Xiangyang, and what Liu Bian, the son of heaven, said was still golden, and the holy decree was given, and the executioners sent by the criminal department raised their ghost head swords and slashed them fiercely, and the heads of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and other ministers of the family and the descendants of their families fell and fell into the dust.
The executioners were dumbfounded, staring at the men in a daze.
Liu Wei looked at it strangely, and hurriedly sent someone to ask why these executioners were in a daze.
Most of those executioners were newly elected central soldiers, although they had all had lives in their hands, but they had never seen such a strange scene, they trembled and pointed to the heads of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and others: "They don't blink an eye!" ”
Liu Wei hurriedly asked people to present the heads of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and others, and sure enough, the eyes of these family ministers were wide open, and the remaining eyes were half confused and half desperate.
When their heads were rolling down, they still couldn't believe their eyes, and it was Liu Wei, the son of heaven, who was in charge of beheading them.
Although Yang Biao, Liu Hong, and Bian Rang led the troops to besiege the palace, they just wanted to take the Son of Heaven Liu Wei into their own hands earlier, so as to eliminate the magic weapon on which the Jinliang Central Army depended, they never thought of abolishing Liu Bian, let alone seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne, they just wanted to restore the peak period of the family's monopoly on the government, they thought that they were loyal to the Liu Han royal family, but they did not expect that their loyalty was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs by Liu Bian.
The other ministers of the family who followed Liu Wei to watch the execution couldn't bear to witness, and some even closed their eyes.
Although the reputation of Yang Biao, Liu Hong, and Bian Rang was lost for thousands of miles with the leaflets and notices distributed by the Central Army, and Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and others, who had no reputation, seemed to be lost dogs, and died in vain, but after all, they were once loyal to the Han court, and they were beheaded by the Son of Heaven Liu Weijian in this way, which made the other family ministers feel cold.
Not all the big families are as ambitious as the Yuan family in Runan, and they are bent on usurping the Han dynasty and standing on their own, there are still many families who have preserved a trace of loyalty to the Liu Han royal family, Liu Weijian beheaded Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others, venting the anger in his heart, but also cutting off the loyalty of many family members to the Liu Han royal family.
This point will not be shown for a while and a half, and from then on, Jin Liang wants to sing more red faces, let Liu Wei sing more black faces to establish the majesty of the Liu Han royal family, one long and one side, sooner or later, Liu Wei will bury all the kindness accumulated by the Liu Han royal family for four hundred years, and at that time, even if Jin Liang wants to support the Liu Han court for a while, the subjects below will not agree.
Yang Biao's head fell to the ground, his position of Situ, Jin Liang asked Lu Zhi to recommend his friend Zheng Xuan, because the Qingzhou Yellow Turban blocked the road, Zheng Xuan could not take office immediately, Cui Yan always hoped that Jin Liang would send troops to pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but everything always had a sequence, Jin Liang still put down the rebellion of the family in Jizhou and Bingzhou before he could send troops to pacify the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, so the position of Situ was temporarily vacant for Zheng Xuan.
Liu Hong's head fell to the ground, his vacant position, Jin Liang asked Taishi Cai Yong to recommend Cui Lie, although Jin Liang tabooed Cui Lie's copper reputation, but at this time in Jizhou and Bingzhou, there was no reputation of the minister who could shoulder the vacant position.
Zheng Tai's head fell to the ground, and the position of his chamberlain in the Ministry of Rites, Jin Liang was willing to let Kong Rong, the minister of the North Sea, take over, but Kong Rong refused to take up the order because the Yellow Turban Army blocked the road, and Jin Liang was now busy quelling the rebellion in the state, and when he was free, he would clean up the Yellow Turban Army and Kong Rong together.
Bian Rang's position as the arranger, Jin Liang asked Ma Riyan to casually find a slightly famous figure from a neutral family to replace him.
And Jin Liang himself, because of his great contribution to defeating Dong Zhuo and pacifying the civil strife in Xiangyang, was crowned as a hussar general, and the feudal town was changed from 800 households in Wen County to 1,000 households in Wen County.
In addition to enjoying the joy of bed with mature beauties such as Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, Diao Chan, Zou Qing, Empress Dowager He, and Empress Tang, he often accompanied the nine-year-old Zhen Mi and ten-year-old Wu Amaranth to play, which is naturally the purest game, in order to deepen the relationship with them, I look forward to five or six years later, when they are in love, they can fall in love with themselves, and they will not be thousands of miles away from him because he is an uncle.
In order to prevent Zhen Mi and Zhang Ning from being soaked away by Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Wu Ban and other little Zhengtai and making themselves want to cry without tears, Jin Liang also pretended to suggest to his daughter Jin Lingqi that the Boy Scouts be changed into two divisions, one specifically for boys and one for girls, otherwise they will be mixed together and will not be conducive to fighting, who has ever seen a combination of men and women on the battlefield.
As soon as Jin Lingqi heard that it made sense, she separated the boy and girl, and from then on, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Wu Ban and other little Zhengtai It is difficult to see Zhen Mi, Wu Amaranth and other little Lori, and Jin Liang can see Zhen Mi and Wu Amaranth at any time, but Jin Liang will not develop the skills of those little Loli of the uncles of the Japanese Kingdom, and he can't make Zhen Mi and Wu Amaranth fall in love with him immediately in a short time, so he can only slowly enhance his feelings, and when they are mature, they can be picked again.
Jin Liang also recognized Lu Xun as his son, Jin Liang originally wanted to wait for the completion of the expedition, and then hold a formal ceremony to accept Lu Xun, but Lu Xun lived alone in Xiangyang after the death of his father Lu Jun, and insisted on supporting his father's coffin back to Wu County, but was stopped by Jin Liang, Jin Liang only said that now there are thieves everywhere, and the soldiers are in chaos, it is really not suitable to move, bury your father here first, and the situation will get better in the future. Then transfer back to Kure.
The day before leaving Xiangyang, Lu Xun still insisted on carrying his father Lu Jun's coffin back to Wu County, but Jin Liang couldn't. had to hastily recognize Lu Xun as his adopted son, and let Lu Xun worship Hu Zhao as his master and learn military politics. At the same time, he sent a letter to Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, to explain the matter.
Lu Xun lived in the General's Mansion and lived with Lü Meng, and was raised by Lü Meng's mother, Gao.
This time, Jin Liang led the army to the expedition, and did not take Zheng Tai's family rebels in his eyes, so he brought all the three righteous sons of Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng to see how cruel the real war is and accelerate their growth. Jin Liang also wanted to take Jin Lingqi with him, but was stopped by Cai Yan, who was eager to protect his daughter.
Two days later, Jin Liang led an army of 50,000 to the Fushui camp, and the scouts of Zhao Yunbu, Jia Xu's Military Intelligence Department, the favored Central Intelligence Department, and Wu Yuan's Dark Xiang Division successively transmitted the latest information.
Xue Lan, the captain of Zhao Guoguo, had been killed in battle, and the rebels of the Jizhou family coerced Liu Liang, the king of Zhao, as a puppet, and played the slogan of 'Yasukuni is difficult to clear the monarch'. Integrating 150,000 horses, known as 200,000, after a little rectification in Handan, he wanted to go straight to Xiangyang.
The thirty-eight Jizhou families did not have the most powerful Wang family like the Bingzhou rebels, and none of them had a particularly obvious advantage. Zheng Tai, who had no soldiers and horses, only popularity, was elected by them as the chief of Jizhou.
Zheng Tai was timid and did not dare to go to the front line to fight with Jin Liang, so he retreated in Handan and sent Liu Hui, who had a high prestige in the Jizhou family, as the commander-in-chief of the front, and led 120,000 horses to prepare to cross the water and attack Xiangyang.
Zhao Yun, the vanguard of the Central Army, skillfully arranged and bluffed on the south bank of Fushui, and 20,000 horses set up a camp of 90,000 horses, Liu Hui did not dare to cross the river easily, and when Jin Liang's army really came, Liu Hui did not dare to cross the river.
Jin Liang looked down on the timid family figures, and smiled contemptuously: "They don't dare to cross the river, so we will do it!" ”
Zhao Yun had already set up a camp for 90,000 horses to live in before this, and Jin Liang led 50,000 horses to quickly station.
Liu Hui saw that the banner of the Central Army in the camp on the other side was more victorious, and suddenly all understood, and couldn't help but secretly regret it, if he could see through the suspicious plan of Zhao Yun, the vanguard of the Central Army, in time, and immediately make a decision to force the crossing of the water, then why is it so difficult to advance and retreat, now it seems that Jin Liang has come to the camp of Fushui in person, the central army is strong and strong, and cannot attack quickly, so he can only wait for Zheng Tai and Ruan Yu to unite the world's families to discuss Jin Liang's big policy can be implemented smoothly and disperse a part of Jin Liang's people.
Jin Liang did not immediately send troops to cross the river, he rode a red rabbit horse, accompanied by Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng and others, carefully looked at the water potential of the water, and then looked at the troop layout of the rebels on the other side.
Guo Jia quickly followed Jin Liang's instructions to make a sand table the terrain and troop layout within 20 miles on both sides of the river, and Jin Liang ordered the civil and military generals above the brigade commander and brigade to join the army, and Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng listened in the tent.
Dong Zhao and Guo Jia looked at the sand table, remembering the scene when the lord and them did the sand table deduction for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't help but secretly admire, the lord is really a god and a man, and even the family and the army can guess in advance, and they also made a deduction with them, but they didn't expect things to be so close to what they deduced in advance.
In addition to Dong Zhao, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, other civil and military generals were attracted by the sand table, when they understood the function of the sand table, and learned that it was invented by Jin Liang, they all bowed down and complimented: "The Lord is a celestial talent, set up this sand table, will be able to defeat the enemy and win, and the horse will succeed." ”
Jin Liang understood the limitations of his talents, and hurriedly waved his hand, he didn't want to let himself forget that his biggest dependence was the memory brought by the crossing because of the flattery of these civil and military officials, if not, he was only weaker than the original Jin Liang.
Jin Liang asked everyone to take a closer look at the sand table, and after everyone looked at it, Jin Liangfa asked: "Everyone, is there a way to break the enemy?!" ”
Everyone fell into deep thought, although the Central Army is good at bluffing, blinding the opponent, and putting 70,000 horses in a posture of 140,000, but when fighting with real swords and guns, no matter how good the disguise is, after all, the strength of the Central Army is far inferior to the other side.
Although the Central Army has 70,000 horses, but the 20,000 field guards are weak, it is estimated that it is no better than the rebels of the family, and can only resist the other party's 20,000 horses, Wei Yue's fifth division was newly formed not long ago, the soldiers have not yet returned to their hearts, and there are many losses and fatigue when attacking the manor of the traitors of the family, Jin Liang only brought back half of his guards Flying Tiger Division from the Bishui battalion, and this half of the men and horses were also divided into 10,000 horses to enrich the Longxiang Army, the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army, leaving only 10,000 elites, Zhao Yun's 20,000 men and horses have frequently dispatched ambushes to ambush the twelve Jizhou rebel families in the past month, and they are already exhausted, and their combat strength is not as good as before.
And the 38 Jizhou family rebels have only fought two major battles, attacking the two fortified cities of Julu and Handan, but these two cities can capture the whole city and respond to the family rebellion, so the 120,000 family rebels have hardly experienced decent battles, and it can be said that they are waiting for work to deal with the central army.
Dong Zhao proposed: "My lord, now that the enemy is outnumbered and our army is tired, it is only right to temporarily garrison troops on the south bank of the river, block the rebels from crossing the river, and wait for Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yan of the Bishui battalion to lead the troops back to help." ”
Others also echoed Dong Zhao's opinion.
Jin Liang did not deny Dong Zhao's judgment, because this was an obvious fact, he didn't want to save face, so he had to send troops recklessly.
Jin Liang asked Guo Jiadao: "How long will it take for Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu to arrive at the Fushui camp?" ”
Guo Jia gave a detailed description of the situation of Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu with a suspicious face.
A month ago, Zheng Tai's 4,000 soldiers left in Xingyang had not had time to contact the families in Chenliu and other places to attack Jin Liang's back road, and they were captured by Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Xu Shu, who were the first to attack, and a good Xingyang Zheng family was wiped out by Jin Liang because of Zheng Tai's rebellion, if it weren't for Jin Liang's memory of Zheng Tai's younger brother Zheng Hun has been loyal and meritorious to him, the Xingyang Zheng family is afraid that it will disappear from this world.
Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu returned to the army this time, and they transported half of the Zheng family's property in Xingyang back to Xiangyang.
Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu, in the past half a month, exchanged prisoners and women of childbearing age with Dong Zhuo, and reorganized the Western Liang Army and the Kwantung Army prisoners. Jin Liang was originally going to let them stay in the Bishui camp for another month, and return to the army after the prisoner exchange was completed, rectified and completely reorganized, but Zheng Tai escaped from Xiangyang, and the rebels of the Jizhou family in the 38th were huge, and the rebels of the Jizhou family were also swept away, Jin Liang was forced to have no choice, and five days ago, he sent someone to inform Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu to return to the army, and the remaining tasks of exchanging prisoners and taking care of the wounded soldiers were handed over to the forbidden department.
Jin Liang's top priority now is to quickly quell the rebellion of the family in Jizhou and Bingzhou, so he left only 20,000 horses in Xingyang County south of the Yellow River, which was Zhang Liaoshi, and these 20,000 horses were withdrawn from the camp in Bishui to Xingyang City, and continued to exchange Xiliang prisoners and Dong Zhuo for women of childbearing age.
In order to get back the captives from Jin Liang, Dong Zhuo had already begun to send troops to Yuan Shu's Nanyang County and Yingchuan County under the control of Yuan Shao to rob the women.
Zhang Liao was ordered by Jin Liang to bring 8,000 men and horses with Xu Shu to support Sun Jian's siege of Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and Jin Liang appointed Yu Ban as the deputy commander to stay in Xingyang City. Jin Liang was afraid that Dong Zhuo would attack Xingyang City without keeping his reputation, so he asked Zhang Jaw, the lieutenant of Hanoi, and Xu Huang, the lieutenant of Hedong, to maintain a high-pressure posture against Luoyang at all times, forcing Dong Zhuo to only defend and not dare to attack.
Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yan received Jin Liang's general order, quickly ordered all the elites, a total of 50,000 horses, and hurried to Xiangyang.
But for some reason, they were frequently attacked and harassed by the Yanzhou family forces on the way back to the army, and those small groups of family forces were all repulsed, but the speed of Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yan's return army was greatly affected, and they only reached the south bank of the Yellow River five days later, and it was at least ten days away from Fushui.
Jin Liang frowned and said, "Why do those Yanzhou families frequently harass our Central Army?!" Your military intelligence department must quickly find out the reason! ”
In fact, Jin Liang already had a rough idea that the worst situation was coming, but he couldn't tell the situation in advance. (To be continued.) )
