Strength growth
But when Liu Xiu captured Lunu County, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, he stopped his horse and looked ahead worriedly...
In front is the real country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, is the seventh grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty and the king of Changshan, Liu Shun, who has more than 100,000 troops. In the troubled times, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers were like a mountain of gold and silver, which made Liu Xiu drool violently. However, the terrible thing is that this mountain of gold and silver has been robbed by Wang Lang. Liu Yang declared to the outside world, "I only listen to Wang Lang", with Liu Xiu's tens of thousands of people, to get Liu Yang's hundreds of thousands of people, I have to say one word - hang!
At this time, Liu Zhi had already seen Liu Xiu's worries, and he stood up and said to Liu Xiu, "Don't be afraid, Da Sima, I'm responsible for getting Liu Yang, you are ready to enter the city." Liu Zhi said that he could get Liu Yang by virtue of the tongue in his mouth! One tongue can be worth a million male masters, that is the patent of our Chinese ancestors. Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Li Shiqi and others are all masters of eloquence. One tongue can be worth tens of thousands of soldiers, and it abounds in Chinese history!
Zhendingguo is 60 kilometers away from Zhongshan country. Liu Zhi went on a trip, and the news came back immediately. Liu Zhi told Liu Xiu, "Liu Yang is very acquainted, and he is ready to change his position, not to listen to Wang Lang, but only to you Liu Xiu, please rest assured that Da Sima will enter the Zhending Kingdom"
With just one tongue, you can pull the patronage of hundreds of thousands of troops. Some people may say: Liu Xiu has picked up a big bargain? Wrong! Liu Xiuzhen doesn't think that he is picking up treasures, he thinks that what he is picking up is a big trouble. Because Liu Zhi also brought back Liu Xiu a condition for Liu Yang: the two families formed a political marriage alliance, and Liu Xiu married Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengtong as his wife.
The problem is that Liu Xiu already has a wife, that is, the beautiful Yin Lihua who married more than half a year ago. Now Yin is not by his side at Xinye's mother's house, but he will be picked up one day. What would she think if she saw that her husband had married another woman?
In the face of Liu Xiu's hesitation, Liu Zhi continued to agitate his tongue, "Liu Yang's position is very important. If I can move him, it means that Handan may also move him. Therefore, if you want Liu Yang's territory and those more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to truly belong to you, Da Sima, you must give up your feelings and make sacrifices."
In the end, after some joyful gongs and drums, both sides were overjoyed, and they could finally talk about the issue of military offensive with confidence.
Changshan County, Zhiyuanshi County, and House County were quickly captured. Then attacked Shanxian County, Shanxian County Commander was ready to open the city to surrender, but there was a big surname Su in the city who was unwilling to welcome Xiu, so he went to summon Wang Lang's general Li Yun. Geng Chun set up an ambush, lured Li Yun into battle, and stabbed him to death. After the county succeeded, it continued to attack Bairen County on the border between Zhao State and Julu County, which was defended by Wang Lang's general Li Yu. As a result, the front partial army led by Zhu Fu and Deng Yu was defeated by Li Yu, and the baggage was robbed. After Liu Xiu collected the defeated troops, he fought with Li Yu in Guomen. The big break was broken, and the robbed baggage was snatched back. Li Yu returned to the city of Bairen and could not hold out, and Liu Xiu led the army to attack for several days but could not succeed.
Liu Xiu was depressed under the Bairen City, and someone came to report that "Liu Jia, the king of Hanzhong, recommended two people to you to come to defect: Jia Fu and Chen Jun" Liu Xiu summoned him and asked about Liu Jia's situation, and the two replied, "Yancen occupies Hanzhong County, and there are hundreds of thousands. The king of Hanzhong led us to attack, and Yancen surrendered. We suggested to the king of Hanzhong that he should stand on his own feet and draw a clear line with the change regime. The king of Hanzhong did not dare, but recommended us to you" Liu Xiu named Jia Fu as the general of the prisoner and Chen Jun as Anji Peng.
Just after meeting Jia Fu and Chen Jun, someone suddenly came to report, "Your house has been cut down by the military market because of the law" Liu Xiu was furious: "How dare you kill my house because of the law?" Tie him up and come to me," Deputy Chen next to him hurriedly advised, "Duke Ming has always emphasized military discipline. Now that the sacrifice obeys the law and does not avoid relatives, how can you condemn the crime" Liu Xiu came to his senses, and on the spot he sealed the sacrifice as a traitorous general, and warned the generals to "prepare for the sacrifice." He will not even kill my housemate, and he will not give you face."
Bairen County could not be attacked for a long time, and Liu Xiu had to transfer his troops to attack Julu County in the northeast. After the defeat of Guang'a County, on this day, Liu Xiu looked at the map and couldn't help but think of Deng Yu's previous great theory of Anbang. couldn't help sighing and said to Deng Yu, "There are so many counties in the world, we have only won one now, and we want to get rid of the world, what year is this year?"
Deng Yu smiled, "I still say the same thing, your worries are superfluous." At present, the world is in turmoil, and the people's longing for a virtuous king is as strong as a baby's longing for a loving mother. So I think: the territory is not in size, there is virtue and spirit! Gather the hearts of the people with virtue, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, which has been the case since ancient times."
Liu Xiu looked at Deng Yu and then at the great rivers and mountains on the map. Can the future really be as optimistic as Deng Yu said? What a beautiful world it is...
Liu Xiu just wanted to run away in Jixian County, but he forgot about one person: Geng Yi, who strongly persuaded Liu Xiu to go north to Yuyang and Shanggu to borrow troops. Instinctively, Liu Xiu fled south, but Geng Yi pulled out his legs and fled north, and ran back to Shanggu County's father Geng Guo in one go.
Geng Yi didn't finish his breath, so he hurriedly told his father, "Hurry up and send troops south to attack Handan City", but he didn't expect his father to look at him strangely and said, "Don't worry, there is no need for us to go south at all, because Wang Lang has sent troops to the north, and he wants to do our father and son."
Geng Yi was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something. At this time, someone grabbed the words and said, "Isn't it just a Wang Lang, I'm afraid he will be very big" Geng Yi turned his head and looked, the person who said this was Gong Cao Kou!
Geng Yi couldn't help but be secretly happy when he heard Kou Sui's words. As long as this guy speaks, Daddy Bacheng will listen to him. Sure enough, Kou Sui and Min Ye analyzed Geng Guo like this, "Wang Lang is just an impostor, and it remains to be seen whether he can gain a firm foothold when it suddenly broke out." Relatively speaking, Liu Xiu, as Liu Xiu's younger brother, Corporal Lixian, is very famous, and it is more reliable to vote for him" Geng asked rhetorically, "It's okay to vote for Liu Xiu." The problem is that Wang Lang's power is in full swing, can we stop it with just a few of us?" Kou Sui said with a smile, "This is not true. The territory of Shanggu County is complete, and there are 10,000 horsemen to control the strings. We can choose our own path and determine our own future in troubled times. But if you are really worried, I am willing to go to Yuyang County in the east and unite with the Taishou Peng Pet there, so why not be afraid of Handan Wanglang."
After getting Geng's permission, Kou Sui urgently sent an envoy to Yuyang County. It was proposed that each side send 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry to help Liu Xiu attack Wang Lang.
At this time in Yuyang County, the protector Gai Yan, the Anle County Commander Wu Han, and the Hunu County Commander Wang Liang were also persuading Peng to reject Wang Lang and follow Liu Xiu. But the rest of the people persuaded Peng Pet to surrender to Wang Lang. Just when Peng Pet was hesitating, Wu Han met a Confucian student in the outer pavilion. Wu Han invited him to dinner and asked about the outside world. Confucian said, "Now Liu Xiu is everywhere to promote that the one in Handan City is a fake Liu Ziyu, and Hebei counties have gradually reattached themselves to Liu Xiu." Wu Han was overjoyed, on the one hand, he forged Liu Xiu's documents and distributed them throughout Yuyang County. On the one hand, he took this Confucian student to see Peng Chong, and finally said that Peng Chong rejected Wang Lang and followed Liu Xiu.
After Kou Sui arrived, Peng Chong promised to send 3,000 cavalry on the spot, led by Wu Han, Gai Yan, and Wang Liang, to attack Jixian County and kill Wang Lang's general Zhao Hong. And Kou Sui returned to Shanggu County, and Geng Jing also sent out 3,000 foot cavalry as agreed, led by Changshi Jingdan, Kou Sui, and Geng Yi, to meet with the 3,000 Yuyang army.
The 6,000-foot cavalry of Shanggu and Yuyang counties led by the 6 famous generals ranked second, fourth, fifth, tenth, eleventh, and eighteenth in the future Yuntai 28 will be very amazing! In a short period of time, he took 22 counties in the five counties of Zhuo, Zhongshan, Julu, Qinghe, and Hejian, and killed a total of 30,000 people below General Wang Lang, Jiuqing, and Lieutenant. And soon arrived at the foot of Guang'a City!
In Guang'a City, Tanmalai reported that there were many soldiers and horses in the city, but it was not clear whose troops it was. This made everyone extremely vigilant, Jing Dan Le Ma Yao asked "whose troops are in the city", and the city replied loudly, "It's the big Sima Liu Xiu"
Where in the world do not meet, it is really a good time to meet! Geng Yi, as the forerunner, hurriedly rode out of the city, and was about to enter the city to see Liu Xiu!
But when Liu Xiu heard that the soldiers and horses of Yuyang and Shanggu counties were coming, he was also very crazy. Therefore, there were rumors everywhere in Shiguang'a City, saying that Geng Guo and Peng Chong had surrendered to Wang Lang, so that Liu Xiu couldn't tell the truth from the false. Therefore, Liu Xiu ordered the defenders to be vigilant, and he personally climbed the Xicheng Tower to talk to Geng Yi. When Geng Yi explained his intention under the city, Liu Xiu was overjoyed and immediately opened the city gate to welcome the soldiers and horses into the city!
It's embarrassing to see each other here and now. Liu Xiu smiled at Geng Yi and said, "Handan sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Shanggu and Yuyang counties are their people, how do you guess I fought back?" I also bragged that these two counties were our people, but this cow really blew you here" Liu Xiu named all six people as partial generals on the spot; And named Geng Guo and Peng Pet as generals, and named Liehou.
Liu Xiu and Geng Yi successfully met. The next step is to go straight to Handan. And the first emperor Liu Xuan also sent people to help at this time.
Liu Xuan sent two groups of people: when Bao Xuan was killed by Wang Mang, Lu Ping, the governor of Shangdang County, also wanted to kill Bao Xuan's son Bao Yong, but was protected by Shangdang Taishou. Now Liu Xuan appointed Bao Yong as a scholar and a general, and ordered him to lead his troops to Pingding Hedong County. After Bao Yong defeated the Qingli rebel army in Hedong County, Liu Xuan appointed Feng Yan as the general of Lihan, stationed in Taiyuan County, and guarded Tianyi with Shangdang Tai, and swept away the annexation of the state together.
In addition to Bao Yong, Liu Xuan sent Shangshu Ling Xie to lead six generals including General Zhenwei and Ma Wu to Hebei to help Liu Xiu. After Xie Gong and Liu Xiu joined forces, they went to attack Julu County. However, Wang Lang's general, Wang Rao, defended Julu City for more than a month, and Liu Xiu and Xie Bow couldn't capture Julu City.
At this time, Wang Lang became impatient. The troops were divided into two routes: one route attacked Liu Xiu's rear Xindu County, and the other route led by Ni Hong and Liu Feng to lead tens of thousands of people to aid Julu County. As a result, the big surname in the capital city, Ma Chong, opened the city and surrendered to Wang Lang. All the family members of Li Zhong, who stayed in Zongguang and accompanied Liu Xiu in the army, were arrested. Li Zhong was furious, and at this time, Ma Sui, the younger brother of Ma Pet, was also a lieutenant in Liu Xiujun, and Li Zhong cut Ma Sui with a knife. All the generals were shocked, "Aren't you afraid that your family will also be killed by Ma Pet like this?" Li Zhong said angrily, "For the country and forget your home, how can you not kill the thief" Liu Xiuzhuangzhi asked Li Zhong to lead his troops to seize the capital and save his family. Li Zhong quickly snatched back the Xindu City and stayed behind to serve as the Xindu Taishou.
In the face of the giant deer reinforcements sent by Wang Lang, Liu Xiu led his troops to Nanji County to engage the other party, but the front army was defeated. Fortunately, Jing Dan and others led the assault cavalry to kill, and only then did they defeat the enemy army and behead thousands of people. Liu Xiu was overjoyed: "I have heard that the turquoise cavalry used to fight against the Xiongnu on the border of Youzhou is the elite soldier in the world. Today's battle really deserves its name"
At this time, Geng Chun offered Liu Xiu a plan: "Instead of being trapped in Julu, we should use elite troops to attack Handan City directly." Once Handan City is in hand, Wang Lang is punished, Julu City will naturally fall into our hands" Liu Xiu decided to adopt Geng Chun's plan and advance towards Handan. It turns out: the strategy is the right one!
In April, Liu Xiu left Deng Man to lead a small army to continue to attack Julu City, and he personally led the army to advance into Handan! As a result, Wang Lang's army was defeated and retreated. Finally, Wang Lang sent someone out and said, "Don't fight, let's sit down and have a good talk" to negotiate surrender, it is still acceptable, as long as the price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied, and everything is easy to discuss.
Soon, Wang Lang sent a doctor named Dewey to be the negotiator. As soon as he saw Liu Xiu when he went out of the city, Dewey's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said in a preemptive voice, "To be honest: the son of heaven in our city is not the legendary fortune teller, he is really Liu Ziyu, the son of Liu Biao."
Liu Xiu laughed when she heard it. It's like a person who sells a product in the market, holding up an inferior fake and swearing to you, "This is the real thing, if it's fake", but everyone comes out to mix, it's not easy, and it's understandable to fool around. But then again, it's all about now, and it's not up to you to decide. The right to speak is not with you Wang Lang, but with me Liu Xiu! Liu Xiu said very unceremoniously, "I'll tell you honestly: even if Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty can jump out of the coffin now, he can't become an emperor again!" What's more, Wang Lang is still an impostor, so don't think about the lion opening your mouth today."
Dewey was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said, "Our leader said: It's okay to surrender, but you have to give him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
Liu Xiu smiled and shook his head. Dewey didn't know: Wang Lang pretended to be Liu Ziyu's name, set up Handan City, chased him all over the north, and was so hungry that he almost couldn't run, if it wasn't for the help of the sky, he might have died several times! So Liu Xiu said, "I can spare Wang Lang and not die, this is already cheap for him, and I want to seal the Marquis of Wanhu" When Dewey heard this, his face changed greatly, and he turned his head and brushed his sleeves away!
