On April 8, Liu Xiu came to Chang'an. After paying homage to the gardens and tombs of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, he ordered Geng Yi, Gai Yan and other seven generals to set off and take the Longdao to conquer Gongsun Shu!www.biquge.info

Please note: Liu Xiu's troops have to cross Longshan, and Longshan is the territory of Kui. But Liu Xiu said that I was going to fight Gongsun Shu. It's okay to say this, but you want to be hustle? That's the wisdom of insulting the hustle and bustle! Those who are familiar with the art of war know: Liu Xiu's scientific name is - borrowing the way to cut down Yu. Liu Xiu is an old Jianghu, and Kui Huan is also an old Jianghu, and no one can fool anyone. Obviously, Liu Xiu's real target is not Gongsun Shu, but Kui Huan!

Then, Liu Xiu issued another edict and called his cousin Laishe, "You take my edict and go to see Kui Huan again." Tell him: I'll give him one last chance. If he is stubborn, he will not blame me for being rude."

Laishe's father Laizhong married Liu Xiu's aunt and gave birth to She. When Liu Xiu traveled to Chang'an, he had a lot of contacts with his cousin and had a good relationship.

But this kinship almost killed my cousin! After the Liu Xiu brothers rebelled in their hometown, Wang Mang conducted a large-scale search for the Liu clan in Chang'an. Lai Shu was arrested, and after being rescued by the guests, he was finally pulled out of prison. After many years, my cousin also traveled to many places, and finally defected to Liu Xiu and was named Taizhong Doctor. Lai, who was promoted, took the initiative to ask Liu Xiu to send him a task.

At that time, General Liu Xiuzhu was very worried about Kui Huan and Gongsun Shu, but Lai Shu thought it was not worth worrying about. He told Liu Xiu like this, "When the Kui Huan family rebelled, he voted for Liu Xuan first, which shows that he still supports the Han family." In my opinion, as long as the hustle and bustle is dealt with, Gongsun Shu will not have to worry about it. Back then, in Chang'an, I had a good relationship with Kui Huan, so let me go to Tianshui County to lobby Kui Huan, that is very suitable" Liu Xiushen thought so, and Feng Laishe was a special envoy, and traveled back and forth between Tianshui County and Luoyang many times. To be honest, Lai Xi failed to deal with Kui Huan, and his results as an envoy were not very satisfactory. Of course, he didn't run in vain, it was after his coaxing and intimidation that Kui Huan sent his son Kui to Luoyang as a hostage.

Lai Xi took the last edict issued by Liu Xiu to Kui Huan and went on the road. Seeing Kui Huan, he came to convey Liu Xiu's meaning straight to the point.

But after reading the edict, Kui Huan said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, let me think about it, and then reply to you after thinking about it" Kui Huan thought about it again, but a few days have passed, and there is no response at all.

Lai Xi finally got impatient to wait and took the initiative to meet Kui. As soon as they met, Lai Xi shouted, "Your Majesty's words, I have made it very clear to you; You can see his sincerity very clearly. Thou hast sent thy sons into thy service to the country. But now it's pushing and pushing, what does it mean" Lai Shu said and said, his head rushed with blood, and he couldn't help but draw his sword and rise, stabbing Kui Huan, and yelling, "If you want to be exterminated, please say it directly." I will fulfill you for Your Majesty."

Kui Huan was shocked, turned around and fled. The guards will surround you. But those who came as if nothing had happened, holding the talisman in one hand, calmly boarded the car, and prepared to leave. But when Laishu got into the car, he was completely surrounded!

Kui Huan has ordered: If you want to play ruthlessly, let him taste what it means to come in vertically and go out horizontally today!

Just as Niu Han, the loud general, was about to start, he was stopped by another general named Wang Zun, "It's easy to kill Laishe, but this deal is not cost-effective: 1 Laishu is Liu Xiu's envoy and Liu Xiu's cousin." If he kills him, Liu Xiu will use this to raise troops to ask for guilt; 2 At this time, Kui Sui was still a hostage in Luoyang. If he kills Laixi, Kui will also fall to the ground... No matter how you calculate it, we lose a lot."

In the end, Kui Huan had no choice but to return to Luoyang. But at the same time, he also made up his mind - to start a war with Liu Xiu and compete to the end!

On May 21, Liu Xiu returned to the capital Luoyang from Chang'an. He had just entered the city on his front foot, and bad news came on his back foot: Kui had rebelled!

The first battle of the Kui Huan rebellion was to encircle and suppress the Han army in the depths of Longshan. He sent Wang Yuan to cut down trees in the back, block the retreat, and then suddenly attack! This move was ruthless enough, and Geng Yi, Gai Yan and others were all defeated. In the case of Ma Wu's elite break, the generals fought their way out of the encirclement.

The news soon spread to Luoyang. Kui Huan is the first to strike. That being the case, Liu Xiu had no choice but to make a move! This time, Liu Xiu decided that he had to choke Kui Huan's throat until he had cramps in his feet and foamed at the mouth!

In May, Liu Xiu issued an edict: The officials and people of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, and Beidi counties were mistaken by the hustle and bustle, and the people of Sanfu suffered from the trouble of red eyebrows, and those who violated the law and did not do so would be pardoned.

On June 24, Liu Xiu issued an edict to reduce and merge the counties of the world and reduce the number of officials in the province. In the end, a total of more than 400 counties were reduced in office, and one of the ten was replaced.

In June, Liu Xing, the Taishou of Daijun, attacked Lu Fang's subordinate general Jia Lan, and was killed in Gaoliu County.

In the summer, Lelang Taishou Wang obeyed the order to attack the king who occupied Lelang County and refused to obey the orders of the Han. In the end, his subordinates killed Wang Diao and opened the door to welcome the new Taishou.

In the summer, Li Tong led Hou Jin and Wang Baer to defeat Gongsun Shu's troops in Xicheng County, Hanzhong County, and then returned to Tuntian, Shunyang County, Nanyang County. Wang Ba is in Tuntian, Xa County, Hongnong County.

On September 4, Liu Xiu issued an edict to pardon the criminals of rebellion and rebellion in Lelang County.

30-day solar eclipse. Liu Xiu accepted Zhu Fushangshu's opinion, and he was the governor of the state and the county guard. On October 11, Liu Xiu issued an edict asking the ministers to recommend a virtuous and upright person, and asked for blunt advice. In November, Liu Xiu issued an edict: In Wang Mang's era, officials and ordinary people who did not comply with the laws of the Han Dynasty and became slaves were all exempted from being concubines.

On December 27, the great Sikong Song Hong was dismissed. On the 28th, Liu Xiu issued an edict: Previously, due to years of war, the amount was insufficient, and I implemented one tax per ten. If the grain is sufficient, the old system of 30 taxes and 1 should be restored.

Liu Xiu believes that after the victory of Kuiqi Longshan, it will inevitably take advantage of the situation to go east. Therefore, the top priority is to choke several important passes for Kui Hustle to go east, so that he will not be able to escape from the Longshan range even if he dies. So Liu Xiu ordered Geng Yi to garrison Qi County, Feng Yi Garrison Luyi County, Xizun Garrison Huang County, Wu Han and other generals to sit in Chang'an... This is a rare luxury lineup since Liu Xiu started his army! Almost all of his best generals have moved to the west! Liu Xiu seemed to tell Kui Huan: This will be the end of a dead place without a place to be buried!

As Liu Xiu expected, after Kui Huan's first victory, in December, he sent Wang Yuan and Xingxun to lead more than 20,000 people out of Longsd. It's a genius game. From a tactical point of view, Huangxian County is the head of the snake, and Luyi County is the tail of the snake, and the Qi County in the middle has no time to take care of it; From the point of view of strength, the fierce Geng Yi was stationed in Qi County, avoiding this battlefield madman, and directly attacking Feng Yi, which is equivalent to avoiding the real and imaginary, and the odds of winning are extremely great...

But Kui Huan's genius style of play has met a genius formation breaker! When Feng Yi heard the battlefield alarm, he ordered to rush desperately! Finally, before the patrol arrived, they all went into the city and hid. And Xing Xun, who didn't know anything about it, thought that he was fighting an empty city, but was defeated by Feng Yi. At the same time, the sacrifice in Wangxian County also defeated Wang Yuan. Then, Geng Ding, the chief of Beidi County, and others turned their backs on the Han.

Feng Yi, who had won the battle, went all the way north to Yiqu in Beidi County, where he defeated Lu Fang's generals Jia Lan and Xiongnu Ao Yan Ri to chase the king. So all the counties of the north, and the upper and the settled counties fell.

After Kui Huan raised troops, Dou Rong wrote a letter to Liu Xiu and Kui Huan respectively, but Kui Huan ignored him at all. Dou Rong's letter to Liu Xiu was sent to Luoyang by his younger brother Dou You. But when Dou You just walked to Gaoping County, Anding County, the road was impassable due to the hustle and bustle of rebellion, and Xi Feng took a small road to send the letter to Luoyang. Liu Xiu rewarded Dou Rong and Dou You brothers very well. So Dou Rong gathered the soldiers and horses of the five counties of Hexi and wrote to Liu Xiu again, and the two sides agreed on a date to jointly attack Kuihuan.

Dou Rong ordered Liang Tong to send someone to assassinate Zhang Xuan, a debater sent by Kui Huan to lobby him a year and a half ago, and officially broke off his friendship with Kui Huan. Sent troops to attack Jincheng County, defeated the party of Kui Huan, first sealed He, and then waited for the arrival of Liu Xiu's army. Liu Xiu specially ordered the right to help the wind to repair Dou Rong's father's grave and sacrifice it with a prison. The treasures contributed by the Quartet, Liu Xiu often sent envoys to Dou Rong.

At this time, there was another person who couldn't sit still. He was so anxious that he wrote to Liu Xiu, "You guys are fighting so hot, don't let me be idle, please let me go to the battlefield to show my loyalty"

The person who wrote to Liu Xiu was Ma Yuan. After Ma Yuan escorted Kui to Luoyang, he had nothing to do, and there were many followers, so it was not easy to raise such a large group of people. So he asked Liu Xiu to let him work in Shanglinyuan's old business: reclamation and farming.

Although Ma Yuanren was in Shanglin Yuantian District, the news that Kui was clamoring for a rebellion had long been hyped. Ma Yuan wrote to Kui Huan several times, persuading him to turn back, but Kui Huan just ignored him. When Kui Huan really rebelled, Ma Yuan had to explain to Liu Xiu that the rebellion had nothing to do with him. And in the interest of loyalty, please allow him to meet and state the strategy to eliminate the hustle and bustle...

Liu Xiu immediately summoned Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan told Liu Xiu that "Kui Huan is like a hundred-legged insect, if you want to trample him to death, you must first cut off his hundred-legged feet." For example, the generals of the Kui Huan Department are Gao Jun, Ren Yu, Yang Guang, and the chiefs of the Zhuqiang tribe. As long as they are subdued, Kui Huan's natural death is not far away."

Ma Yuan's plan is very much in line with Liu Xiu's intentions. Liu Xiu allocated 5,000 horsemen to the front line on the spot, and lobbied one by one according to the above list.

However, Ma Yuan only left on the front foot, and Kui Huan sent a letter to Liu Xiu on the back foot. The meaning of the letter is very interesting: "Your Majesty's army is coming, and my officials and people here are panicked after hearing the news, and they spontaneously organize an army to save themselves, and I can't control it." Now that things have come to this, I am ready to personally go and call back the troops who killed those who came out of Longshan. Please also ask Your Majesty to give me a chance to change my mind, even if I die, I will be grateful."

Liu Xiu looked at the letter and secretly laughed in her heart. Circulate this letter to the hundred officials. After everyone saw it, they were excited, and collectively asked Liu Xiu: Kui Huan, this old guy is too shameless. If we don't give him some color and beat him back to his original form, he really thinks he is a fool! So we suggest: kill the hostages immediately!

Liu Xiu smiled and did not agree. In fact, Liu Xiu has already come up with a trick to deal with Kui Huan. No matter how cunning a fox is, it is only a fox after all, and it will never escape the pursuit of a good hunter. And Liu Xiu was born to be a master of fox hunting!

Liu Xiurang sent a letter to Kui Huan, "You want to repent and reform, this is good." However, in order to show your sincerity, please send another son to Luoyang as a hostage. If you really send it, I will ensure that you enjoy your old age in peace" Finally, Liu Xiu added, "But if you want to fool me again, don't reply to me." I'm 36 years old this year, and I hate other people's rhetoric the most."

Seeing the hustle and bustle of this letter, he finally despaired. knew that he couldn't play Liu Xiu. He wrote this letter under the name of pleading, but in fact, he wanted to stabilize Liu Xiu and temporarily let himself breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't expect to be recognized by Liu Xiu!

Now he has only one way - to defect to Gongsun Shu and fight Liu Xiu to the end!

This year, Liu Xiu ordered the dismissal of the governor of the Tianxia Prefecture.

This year, Liu Xiu issued an edict to let the princes take the country.

This year, Liu Xiu sent Liu Sa to envoy the Xiongnu again six years after the last mission, wanting to restore the old good. As a result, Hudu and the corpse Dao Gao Ruo Yu singlely sent an envoy to pay tribute on the one hand, and supported Lu Fang on the other hand, and was violent as before. Liu Xiu also sent Zhonglang to return Han Tong.

On January 2, the 7th year of Jianwu (31), Liu Xiu issued two edicts: one would pardon all criminals in the world except for capital crimes. The other advocates thin burials to the world.

On 17 February, Liu Xiu ordered the dismissal of the lieutenant of the Imperial Guard. On March 4, Liu Xiu issued an edict to dismiss the light chariot (chariot soldiers), knights (cavalry) and material officers (infantry) of all counties in the world, and let them disarm and return to the field, and return to their hometowns.

30th, solar eclipse. Liu Xiu issued an edict begging for bluntness. Zheng Xing wrote a letter suggesting that Liu Xiu should follow an example and rule by example, and he didn't have to bow down to everything. Soon after, Liu Xiu had a conversation with Zheng Xing about the suburbs. Liu Xiu was extremely obsessed with the study of the diagram because he was trying to help him become the emperor, so he said to Zheng Xing, "I want to judge it with the diagram, how" Zheng Xing replied, "The minister is not a prophecy" Liu Xiu was immediately furious, "Is Qing going to be a prophecy?" Zheng Xing replied in panic, "The minister has not learned anything from the book of diagrams, and there is no way to think about it" Liu Xiu let Zheng Xing go.
