Wang Lang debuts
Liu Lin told Liu Xiu, "If you want to deal with the Red Eyebrow Army, it's actually very simple. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info The Red Mei Army is now on the east bank of the Yellow River, as long as Liu Xiu orders to open the Yellow River in Lieren County, Guangping County, and borrow the water of the Yellow River, they can all be drowned, isn't it concise and clear" Liu Xiu rejected Liu Lin's absurd suggestion. Then go north to Zhending.
Liu Xiu almost killed himself when he left! If he knew how terrifying Liu Lin's energy was, he would never send Liu Lin away. Liu Xiu's mistake was that he was on Liu Lin's territory, and he couldn't get along with Liu Lin. So, Liu Lin thought: Since Liu Xiu doesn't keep his master, he has his own place to keep his master. Soon, he found a superlative candidate!
13 years ago, when Wang Mang was emperor, a strange thing happened in the capital Chang'an: someone jumped out and announced that he was Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty. As a result, he was captured by Sun Jian, the general of the founding of the country. Wang Mang didn't say a word, and ordered to be beheaded! Today, 13 years later, another person suddenly popped up in Handan City and declared "Liu Ziyu is not dead, I am Liu Ziyu"
This kind of fraudulent claim to be a child of the royal family to enrich the rich is not new now. Farther 105 years ago, during the time of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, someone pretended to be the crown prince Liu Ju. At that time, this matter also caused a storm in Chang'an, including Huo Guang, who couldn't make a decision. In the end, it was Jing Zhao Yin Jun who decisively arrested the person. When I checked, it turned out to be a liar who made a living from fortune telling...
As the saying goes, "starve the cowardly, support the bold" The timid can't be a liar, the liar plays with an empty glove white wolf, if you can't trap it, that's life, if you can't trap it, it's the green smoke on the ancestral grave, and you will have endless blessings for several lifetimes!
This person who dares to call himself Liu Ziyu, whose real name is Wang Chang (or Wang Lang), is also a fortune teller in his name, and his profession is actually a charlatan! Wang Lang declared to the outside world: "My mother was the singer of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. After a happy time, she conceived me. And when my mother was pregnant with me, she dreamed that a yellow gas was covering her body, and then she gave birth to me. As a result, this matter was known to Queen Zhao Feiyan. Zhao Feiyan wanted to harm me, but fortunately, my mother used someone else's child to replace me, so she saved my life" In order to increase the legend and credibility, Wang Lang did not bother to speak, and continued to fool "I met a certain Langzhong when I was 12 years old, and I went to Shu with him; At the age of 20, he returned to Chang'an; Later, he traveled to Zhongshan Kingdom, traveled back and forth to the land of Yanzhao, and finally took root in Handan and became a fortune teller."
In fact, itself doesn't matter. The important thing is to make people believe it! And the first person who believes that Wang Lang is Liu Ziyu is Liu Lin is Liu Lin!
Soon, Liu Lin called Li Yu, Zhang Shen and several other big hooligans of Zhao State to the meeting. At the meeting, it was decided: support this fake Liu Ziyu and the real Wang Lang as the Son of Heaven and play a big one!
Obviously, although Liu Ziyu is of the same generation as Liu Lin and younger than Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, they are the absolute royal family! From Emperor Jing Qi, Emperor Wu Che, Prince Kuo, Emperor Xuan Xun, Emperor Yuan Xun, and then to Emperor Cheng, in the final analysis, even Wang Mang is Liu Biao's cousin! This line is much more red than Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu's roots! As long as you play the name of the son of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, I believe that the land of Hebei will respond to the wind!
Wang Lang's advertising does well, but it also depends on whether consumers admit it. In order to test the influence of Wang Lang's copycat product among the people, Liu Lin sent people everywhere to publicize "Liu Ziyu (Wang Lang) with red eyebrows"
Liu Xiu didn't listen to Liu Lin's words and drowned his red eyebrows. So the Red Mei Army prepared to cross the Yellow River to fight Liu Xiu. This has caused panic among the people. Soon there was information feedback back and said: The people are afraid of red eyebrows and support the establishment of Liu Ziyu as the Son of Heaven...
Now it's easy to do. In December, Liu Lin led hundreds of cavalry to attack Handan City in the middle of the night to receive the palace of the late Zhao Wang, and at the same time announced that Wang Lang, a copycat version of Liu Ziyu, was the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty. Then, Liu Lin and Wang Lang sent generals to seize territory in Youzhou and Hebei respectively, and issued proclamations to various states and counties. As a result, the vast areas north of Zhao State and west of Liaodong County responded one after another.
Wang Lang rose overnight, and Liu Xiuke was miserable. On Liu Lin's turf, he can't play with others, and the last resort is to escape. Liu Xiu had also thought of the direction of escape, and in January 24, Liu Xiu fled to Jixian County, Zhuo County, Youzhou in the north...
Liu Xiu fled on the front line, while Liu Xuan was busy moving the capital in the rear. Shen Tujian, Li Song and other generals who entered Chang'an and destroyed Wang Mang repeatedly sent people to invite Liu Xuan, "Luoyang City doesn't even have a decent palace, Your Majesty should come to Chang'an." In Chang'an City, except for the Weiyang Palace, which was burned down, the other palaces were intact" So in February, Liu Xuan left Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an again.
Because the Weiyang Palace was burned, Liu Xuan lived in the Changle Palace, which was east of the Weiyang Palace and used to be the residence of the Empress Dowagers of the Western Han Dynasty.
The first thing Liu Xuan did after arriving in Chang'an was to issue an edict for amnesty. Even those surnamed Wang, as long as they are not Wang Mang's biological sons, are not guilty. So the Wang clan was complete, and the three assistants were peaceful.
The second thing Liu Xuan did was to accept the advice of Li Song, Zhao Meng and others, and prepare to crown the heroes as kings. However, the great Sima Zhu Kun proposed that the white horse oath of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, "must not be crowned the king unless the Liu family" Liu Xuan first sealed 6 kings with the same surname: younger brother Liu Ci as the king of Wan, nephew Liu Xin as the king of Ruyin, cousin Liu Qing as the king of Yan, Liu Qing's two nephews Liu Zhi as the king of Dingtao, Liu Jia as the king of Hanzhong, and a Liu Xiu's patriarch Liu She as the king of the Yuan clan (Liu Xiu called the emperor, Liu Zhi changed the title of King of Chengyang, Liu She changed the title of King of Surabaya, Liu Ci descended to the Marquis of Ancheng, Liu Xin descended to the Marquis of Ruyin, Liu Jia descended to the Marquis of Shunyang, and Liu Qing was killed by the rebels, His son Liu Shun was named the Marquis of Wu) and then 14 were named kings with different surnames: Wang Kuang was the king of Zhuyang, Wang Feng was the king of Yicheng, Zhu Kun was the king of Jiaodong, Wang Chang was the king of Deng, Shen Tujian was the king of Ping, Chen Mu was the king of Yinping, Zhang Wei was the king of Huaiyang, Liao Zhan was the king of Sui, Hu Yin was the king of Sui, Li Tong was the king of Xiping, Li Yi was the king of Wuyin, Cheng Dan was the king of Xiangyi, Zong Tong was the king of Yingyin, and Yin Zun was the king of Yun. 13 people were happy to be enthroned, but only Zhu Kun resigned.
Liu Xuan continued to crown Zhu Kun as the Zuo Da Sima and Liu Ci as the former Da Sima, and ordered him to go to Zhenfu Guandong with Li Yi. Then ordered Li Tongzhen Jingzhou and Wang Changxing Nanyang to be too guarded. The internal affairs were handed over to Prime Minister Li Song and Right Sima Zhao Meng.
Liu Xuan married Zhao Meng's daughter as his wife, and drank and feasted with Han and Zhao Er's ladies day and night. The ministers wanted to talk about things, but they were all drunk and couldn't see them. When you have to see it as a last resort, you also order the waiter to sit in the curtain and talk to the ministers.
Zhao Meng took advantage of the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven to gain dictatorship, and he was free to live and kill. Whenever someone said bad things about Zhao Meng, Liu Xuan was not polite, and he drew his sword and beheaded.
After Zhao Meng took power, he had a whim, and promoted a large number of cadres who could do things at the bottom. It's also shocking enough: these people promoted by Zhao Meng are experts in all walks of life, and many of them are professional households that slaughter cattle and sheep and cook in the palace. For this reason, there is a saying in Chang'an City, "Raise under the stove, Zhonglang will be." Rotten sheep stomach, ride the captain. Rotten sheep's head, Guan Neihou" Li Shu wrote a book to admonish, but was imprisoned by Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan didn't care about things, Zhao Meng was in charge, and the generals naturally followed. Everyone grabbed their own territory, did not listen to each other's commands, and even fought in order to grab the territory. In the end, Guanzhong was centrifuged, and the four seas rebelled... In short, what a garbled word!
In February, Kui Huan did not listen to the persuasion of the military advisor Fang Wang, and accepted Liu Xuan's recruitment to go to Chang'an with his two uncles, Kui Cui and Kui Yi. Fang Wang resigned. After arriving in Chang'an, Liu Xuanfeng Kui Huan was the right general, and Kui Cui and Kui Yi were still the white tiger generals and the left generals.
Although Liu Xiu didn't want to run, he had to run. Because if you don't run, you'll die! Wang Lang offered a reward of 100,000 households for his head, so that he had no place in this vast north! There is one thing that can also be proven: Once, Liu Xiu sent Wang Ba to the street to recruit troops and prepare to fight against Wang Lang, but he was sarcastically ridiculed by the people on the street, and Wang Ba had to come back in disgrace. Liu Xiu finally determined one thing: the market in the north belongs to Wang Lang and Liu Lin, and he, Liu Xiu, is not accustomed to the soil and water, and people don't believe in you at all!
This is not the first time Liu Xiu has suffered setbacks in his life, but it is the first time that he feels hopeless and helpless. But just when Liu Xiu didn't know where to go, someone told him very calmly, "Come to the north!" Stick to the north and fight with Wang Lang"
The person who said this was a bull, 22-year-old Geng Yi! The eldest son of the Upper Valley Gun. Influenced by his father, Geng Yi has been riding horses and shooting arrows since he was a child, playing with guns and knives, and dreaming of being a general...
Geng Guo, the Taishou of Shanggu County, was originally given by Wang Mang. Not long ago, it was recognized by Liu Xuan. Geng Yi went to Chang'an on his father's order to negotiate with Liu Xuan about the matter of returning to Shun, but when he went to Songzi County, Julu County, something happened: Wang Lang assumed the name of Liu Ziyu and swept the land of Hebei, and the momentum was strong!
The two attendants who followed Geng Yi on a business trip, Sun Cang and Wei Bao, said, "Liu Ziyu is Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and his royal blood is much closer than Liu Xuan. And this side is close to Handan, why don't we go to Liu Ziyu, and don't go so far as Chang'an to join Liu Xuan" Geng Yi heard this, drew his sword and shouted, "It's just a copycat version of Liu Ziyu, it's actually a group of robbers, and it will be exterminated after all." You have to stand on the right side at the critical moment, don't know how to die when the time comes."
Geng Yi's words did not intimidate the two attendants. Sun Cang and Wei Bao saw an opportunity, so they left Geng Yi and went straight to Handan to surrender to Wang Lang. This time, Geng Yi realized that the problem was big! But suddenly Geng Yi thought about it: Isn't Liu Xiu close in front of him now? It's better to go to him nearby! So Geng Yi quickly went north, and finally caught up with Liu Xiu in Lunu County, the capital of Zhongshan State. followed Liu Xiu to the north and arrived in Jixian County.
At this time, Wang Lang's official document offering a reward for Liu Xiu's head from 100,000 households also went down to Jixian County. Facing Liu Xiu, who was desperate and fled south, Geng Yi told him very calmly, "Don't panic, Da Sima, you must not flee south now, you can only continue to go north, otherwise you will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger." The northeast of Jixian County is Yuyang County, and Taishou Peng Pet is your hometown; To the northwest of Jixian County is Shanggu County, and Taishou Geng is my father. If you can levy these two counties, it will be used to deal with the Xiongnu's 10,000 cavalry control strings. Then what are you afraid of Wang Lang and Liu Lin in Handan?"
Liu Xiu nodded, he seemed to hear something. But Liu Xiu's generals had an unprecedented unanimous opinion: even if they die, they will flee south, and they can't continue to go north!
There are three reasons for the generals: 1 Geng Yi has just arrived, who knows if it is reliable? Just a few words from him to collectively go north? For example, Peng Pet and Geng are not good? Didn't that just get out of the tiger's mouth and join the wolves again? 2 Liu Xiuzhi is in charge of the army and is famous, and now even such talents can't get a copycat version of Liu Ziyu, and it is not accidental that he was forced to lose his family. It only shows that our foundation is not in the north, but in the south; 3 Almost all of the entire north is already Wang Lang and Liu Lin's, and they are outnumbered, even if ten thousand horsemen from Shanggu and Yuyang come to help, it is also a question whether they can fight with them.
To sum up, it is necessary to flee south! The south is our hometown, and if we want to die, we will die on the way home!
The generals argued endlessly, waiting for Liu Xiu to make a final decision. Liu Xiu pointed in one direction and said firmly, "Don't fight, let's go in that direction" It's the north...
Liu Xiu continued: "Everyone is not wrong. We are persona non grata guests in the north compared to the south. But now, I've found a host to welcome us! This person is Geng Yi who is standing in front of you now! Geng Yi is our master of the North Road."
However, as soon as Liu Xiu's words fell, a shocking news suddenly came from outside - Jixian County is the capital of Guangyang Kingdom. Liu Jie, the sixth grandson of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and the son of Liu Jia, the former king of Guangyang, raised troops in Jicheng to respond to Wang Lang! At the same time, the envoys of Handan City have arrived outside Jixian County, and all the officials of Jixian County have run to greet them!
The north is really not the place where we stand! I saw Liu Xiu sigh and shout loudly, "It's not good, let's run for our lives"
Liu Xiu's bones are open to the blood of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, thanks to Liu Bang's excellent escape genes, Liu Xiu instinctively led everyone to flee to the south gate! When he rushed to the south gate, he found that the south gate was closed. Liu Xiu drew his sword and rose up, and killed with a roar. After a chaotic battle, everyone put the goalkeepers in place and rushed out of the door!
After rushing out of the city gate, Liu Xiu and his party walked through the city and the pond non-stop, running wildly along the road. I don't know how long I ran or how far I ran, but I just know that everyone is hungry. There was a pavilion called Wupu Pavilion on the side of the road, and the hungry group decided to eat in the pavilion.
It was winter, and the north wind was blowing across the sky like a knife. Liu Xiu was cold and hungry. At this time, Feng Yiduan came to a bowl of bean porridge, "Da Sima, drink a little to warm up" Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi in surprise and excitement, and asked, "Where did you get the bean porridge?" Feng Yi said, "Da Sima, just drink it, it doesn't matter where it came from"
