Liu Xiu's northward crossing

In October 23, Liu Xin, the nephew of Liu Xuan and the son of Liu Xian, killed Liu Wang, who had been proclaimed emperor 2 months earlier, in Runan County, and killed Yan You and Chen Mao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In October, Liu Xuan convened a meeting of the generals and said, "Wanxian is too small, not an ideal place to build the capital, let's move to Luoyang" The generals said, "The leadership is wise, Luoyang is in the center of the world, the city is big, the land is fat, and there are many beautiful women, we have long wanted to move"

Liu Xuan has a vision. Since ancient times, Luoyang has not only been a good place, but also a good place to build a capital. I think that when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, first decided the world, the first capital was Luoyang, the most prosperous city in the world at that time. If it weren't for Lou Jing's proposal and Zhang Liang's seconding and moving the capital to Chang'an, it is estimated that Liu Bang would also want to take root in Luoyang for the rest of his life.

Also: The huge Luoyang City, compared with Chang'an City, seems to be more resistant to tossing. After Wang Mang became the emperor of the new dynasty, he also had the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang, although he did not make the trip later.

But moving the capital to Luoyang, there is a lot of preparatory work to be done: such as cleaning up the population, doing a good job of public security, building palaces, etc... So who should do all this work to? At this time, Liu Xuan's head flashed, and he shouted, "If you want to cure Luoyang City, you have to be alone" This person is: Liu Xiu, the general of the captivity!

So, Liu Xuan ordered Liu Xiuxing to go to Luoyang to renovate the palace in order to set the capital.

4 months ago, just after the victory in Kunyang, 29-year-old Liu Xiuying married the beauty of Xinye County, Nanyang County, 19-year-old Yin Lihua. When he traveled to Chang'an to study in Chang'an, the two major wishes of "the eunuch should be the ruler of Jinwu, and the wife should be yin and beautiful" was finally realized. This time, as a lieutenant at the same level as one of the Twelve Qings, he went to Luoyang, and temporarily separated from his beloved wife. Yin Lihua returned to Xinye County for two years. And two years later, Yin Lihua, who returned to Luoyang, probably never thought that her husband Liu Xiu had become the emperor, and at the same time, there was another beauty named Guo Shengtong by his side...

Liu Xuan didn't look at the wrong person, and Liu Xiu didn't live up to Liu Xuan's expectations. Officials were set up in Luoyang, proclamations were issued, and inspectors were engaged in the same as in the old chapter. Soon, all the systems of the Western Han Dynasty were restored, and everything was in order. Liu Xiu's work has been well received by everyone. At that time, some old comrades who had been officials of the Han Dynasty had already seen many Changshi generals pass in front of them. They all wore crowns and wore clothes close to the women, and they all snickered secretly. But when I saw Liu Xiu's subordinates, I couldn't help but cry and sigh, "I really didn't expect: after so many years, I can see the prestige of the Han Dynasty again" So everyone turned to Liu Xiu instead of Liu Xuanyi...

Liu Xiu's work was completed, and Liu Xuan was welcomed into Luoyang City. Luoyang City is indeed a piece of fat, but don't think that when you enter Luoyang City, your ass will sit firmly. Liu Xuan believes that his career is getting bigger and bigger, but there are not a few people who grab business. There are people who hang the Liu clan and proclaim themselves emperors, and there are also people who stand on their own mountains and eyeing Luoyang City... So, now is not the time to be happy. Instead, expand the territory and strive to unify the world!

So, Liu Xuan sent an envoy to recruit all the counties and states in the world to surrender, promising that the first goal of "restoring the title of the first to surrender" was to recruit another powerful rebel army: the Red Eyebrow Army led by Fan Chong! At the beginning, Fan Chong came to Luoyang with more than 20 generals, met Liu Xuan, and accepted the surrender. Although Liu Xuan made all of them liehous, he did not give them a fiefdom. Fan Chong and the others couldn't help but be disappointed. After staying in Luoyang for a few days, he returned to the Red Eyebrow Army, ready to compete with Liu Xuan for this world!

Liu Li, the eighth grandson of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty and the king of Liang, Liu Li, was deposed as a concubine in the first 4th year of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty because of his communication with Wei's relatives. His son Liu Yong seized the opportunity today, 19 years later, and went to Luoyang to meet Liu Xuan. was re-named King of Liang by Liu Xuan.

Li Xian, the commander of Lujiang County appointed by Wang Mang, did not give Liu Xuan face, and he proclaimed himself the king of Huainan.

Regarding the independent situation of Red Mei in the east and Li Xian in the south, Liu Xuan really had no time to take care of it for a while. The first thing he had to take was the land north of the Yellow River, specifically Jizhou and Youzhou. The envoy Han Hong was ordered to go to Yuyang County, and named Peng Chong as a partial general, and did Yuyang Tai Shou; Feng Wu Han was appointed as the commander of Anle County. Another messenger traveled to Kamiya-gun, but he was confronted by a fierce man and nearly messed it up. At that time, the Taishou Geng of Kamiya County handed over his seal to the messenger, but after the night, he felt that the messenger did not seem to have any intention of returning the seal. Geng Kuang's subordinate Gong Cao named Kou Sui led his troops straight into the envoy's mansion and forced the envoy to return the seal. Geng's position as the Taishou of Shanggu County can be regarded as preserved.

Solve Youzhou, and then Jizhou. This requires sending a general with a cronies! Who should be sent? Liu Xuan suddenly shouted, "Liu Xiu, this job has to be him"

But someone immediately shouted, "This matter cannot be handed over to Liu Xiu to handle," and the person who shouted against it in a high-profile manner was called Zhu Kun, who was a very important general under Wang Feng, a soldier in Xinshi. When Liu Xuan was killed, it was he and Li Yi who conspired to design the director. Zhu Kun opposed Liu Xuantuo and Liu Xiu's great responsibility, not only representing himself, but also representing the interests of the group standing behind him!

According to my observation, for a long time, in the major matter of opposing Liu Xuan, it is rare to see Wang Feng, a soldier in Xinshi, and Chen Mu, a soldier in Pinglin, take the initiative to speak. They didn't speak, not because they were too lazy to speak, but because they had such an excellent representative as Zhu Kun, they didn't need to come forward in person.

There is no need to say more about Zhu Kun's opposition to Liu Xuan's entrustment of Liu Xiu. In his opinion, Liu Xiu is too dangerous. Kunyang's victory is famous all over the world, but he has never seen him proud of his achievements. In addition, the first contribution to the construction of Luoyang City is also Liu Xiu's. If he is allowed to level Hebei again, won't the limelight in the world be stolen by Liu Xiu alone? If this continues, one day Liu Xiu will eat the world alone, so what will they eat?

Thinking about it further, one day Liu Xiuru is so strong that you can't move him, what will happen if he turns around to settle the old account of murdering Liu Xiu? Don't say steal the limelight from you, I'm afraid you may even lose your life! Liu Xiu is like a venomous snake that can't bear it, it's really dangerous! So in any case, the matter of settling Hebei must not be handed over to Liu Xiu to do! If it can't be handed over to Liu Xiu, who should it be handed over? Of course, it's Xinshi and Hirabayashi soldiers...

But at this time, there was a person who stood up and said, "This matter must be done by Liu Xiu", the person who said this is not famous, but his official rank is very large, and his identity is not simple. It was Liu Xuan's own brother, Liu Ci, who succeeded the killed Liu Xuan as the chief situ. Liu Ci publicly stated: If you want to quickly take Hebei, only Liu Xiu has this ability!

One said no, the other said yes, how can this be done? Liu Xuan hesitated. But soon, Liu Xuan suddenly announced: ordered Liu Xiu to act as the Great Sima Shi, cross the Yellow River north with the festival, and comfort the states and counties.

The reason why Liu Xuan made a sharp move was not decided by patting his head, but by his younger brother Liu Ci talking to him in private. Liu Xuandun made the above decision as if his head was enlightened.

What exactly did the brothers say? Only ghosts know, but people can guess. It's not hard to guess it. In the final analysis, it is still those two words - game! The so-called bystander is clear. Liu Ci clearly saw that if Liu Xuan wanted to be the emperor for a long time and be happy, he must be able to suppress the Xinshi soldiers and Pinglin soldiers. But relying only on their brother's little prestige, they are basically no match for others. So in order to strengthen their own strength, they must hold Liu Xiu!

Shanghai Tang boss Du Yuesheng has a very famous sentence "Don't be afraid of being used by others, others can use you, which means that you are very useful" For Liu Xiu, whether it is Liu Xuan, Xinshi, or Pinglin Bing, he is not afraid of being used by them. They can use you Liu Xiu, which means that you are still very useful to them, and in this case, it is still very safe...

Liu Xuan named Liu Ci as the prime minister and sent him to enter the customs first and renovate the palace room of the Zongmiao. Prepare to move the capital to Chang'an again.

In October, Liu Xiu crossed the Yellow River north to inspect the officials, depose the officials, pardon the prisoners, remove Wang Mang's maladministration, and restore the name of the former Han officials. There was no offense all the way. At this time, Liu Xiu was warmly welcomed, and the officials and people of various counties took the initiative to dedicate the city and offer cattle and wine to the road. I believe that if the generals of Xinshi and Pinglin see this scene in front of them, they will all go home with red eyes immediately. But Liu Xiu did not have a trace of pride, but was preoccupied, refused all banquets, and kept everything simple.

On this day, when I came to Zhiye County, Wei County, someone came to report to Liu Xiu, "There is a person surnamed Deng who also crossed the Yellow River in the north, and he chased you on a horse, do you want to summon him?"

When Liu Xiu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh, he's here, call him in" The person who came was Deng Yu, the first hero of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the first of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai! In fact, Deng Yu followed Liu Xiu, and it was not a matter of one or two years. 9 years ago, 13-year-old Deng Yu and 20-year-old Liu Xiu met by chance when they were studying in Chang'an. Deng Yu decided that Liu Xiu was an extraordinary person, so he followed his relatives and returned to his hometown Xinye County for a few years. After Liu Xuan became the emperor, Xinye Haojie recommended Deng Yu to Liu Xuan, but Deng Yu would rather die than follow Liu Xuan. He told the heroes, "Don't talk nonsense, I already have someone in my heart"

Die-hard fans and idols are embarrassed to see each other. Liu Xiu asked Deng Yu, "Your Majesty authorized me to be knighted and appointed as an official, you came all the way to me, do you want to ask for an official" Deng Yu replied "Wrong" Liu Xiu looked at Deng Yu in surprise, "Oh, then why did you come to me" Deng Yu replied, "Not for anything else, I just want to be your follower, make contributions with you, and let my name also leave a mark in the history books" Liu Xiu smiled.

Deng Yu's words have just begun. Next, he gushed endlessly and said a set of political theories that made Liu Xiu refreshing. Deng Yu's discussion is very long, and the meaning is about as follows: Now Liu Xuan is named the Son of Heaven, but as long as the two forces of Red Eyebrows and Qingli in the east are not settled, he will not want to sit and enjoy the world. For no other reason than that there are hundreds of thousands of them. Liu Xuan's ability is mediocre and cohesive. The generals under his command are even more mediocre, just thinking about promotion and making a fortune, how can there be any long-term plan for the world and a strategy for building a country? In ancient times, there must be two conditions for those who have achieved great things: time and personnel. From the perspective of the time, after Liu Xuan became the emperor, the sky was strange and extremely ominous; From the perspective of personnel, Liu Xuan is mediocre and by no means a big thing. Although you are now a vassal auxiliary, you are ultimately subject to others and cannot be autonomous. And your Kunyang victory is famous all over the world. The military and the government are all in harmony, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the world is convinced. Therefore, for the sake of today's plan, you should take advantage of the situation, recruit heroes, buy the hearts of the people, create the great cause of Gaozu Liu Bang, and save the people from the dire situation. And with your ability and popularity, it is not difficult to achieve this great cause...

Since the start of the army, this is the first time Liu Xiu has heard such deafening words. Deng Yu's words are like seeing the sun through the clouds. In Liu Xiu's view, as long as the world is not settled, his safety is no problem. But if one day, the world is calm and nothing happens, I am afraid that his sword will be put on the shelf by Liu Xuan, and his safety will be unknown. And Deng Yu woke up the person in his dream, instead of making wedding clothes for others, it is better to be the main guest and be his real master!

Fans, it's still hardcore! Suddenly, an inexplicable commotion surged in Liu Xiu's heart. It's an impulse that is buried deep in the heart and never noticed. Seriously, Liu Xiu was excited. This excitement does not mean that he has found a know-you for many years, but that this know-how is like a light in the night, pointing out a direction to the future for him!

As long as I have a direction, as long as my heart is full of hope, no matter how far the future is and how bumpy the road is, I will go on without hesitation! An old Liu Xiu is dead, and a new Liu Xiu is about to be born...

At that time, Liu Xiu was killed, Liu Xiu talked and laughed in front of people, and grieved later. There are often tear stains between the pillows when sleeping. At that time, only the chief bookkeeper, Feng Yi, found it carefully and often persuaded him. Liu Xiu said: "I know. At this time, following Deng Yu, Feng Yi also said, "The government is chaotic, and the people have no support." Now in terms of public appointments, officials and subordinates should be dispatched, counties and counties should be distributed, unjust cases should be resolved, and Bu Huize should be cleaned up, and he will be able to become a big deal in the future."

Liu Xiu continued to travel north and came to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and Geng Chun came to ask for a meeting. Liu Xuan once sent Li Yi to appease Shandong, Geng Chun's father Geng Ai asked to surrender, and was named the Taishou of Jinan County. Geng Chun was named the captain of the cavalry, awarded the Fu Festival, and was ordered to pacify the cities of Zhao and Wei. At this time, I saw Liu Xiu's subordinates and subordinates in Handan, each with its own law. Then he was respectful and deeply accepted.

Liu Xiu was in Handan, and a local distant relative of the Liu family took the initiative to come to the door. This person's name is Liu Lin, and he is the seventh grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty and the king of Zhao, Liu Pengzu, and he is considered to be Liu Xiu's nephew. What is very terrifying is that Liu Lin not only has a noble bloodline, a very famous name, but also a lot of energy! This is because Liu Lin's father, Liu Yuan, was the late King of Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty. From Liu Pengzu to Liu Yuan, six generations have worked hard in Handan City, Zhao State, with great influence and deep roots...
