Many things in the world seem to be very complicated, but in fact, the truth is very simple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In Ma Yuan's view, whether a king is open-minded and can achieve great achievements does not depend on how big your shelf is, sometimes only one posture is enough.

Liu Xiu's calm and easy-going civilian posture has been deeply imprinted in Ma Yuan's heart since then. Ma Yuan believes that in today's troubled times, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king. And Liu Xiu is exactly the one who should be chosen, I believe that the world will definitely belong to him in the future...

Liu Xiu asked the Zhonghuangmen to welcome the horse into the palace, there was no armor in the palace, it was like a friend's home, cordial and easy-going. Ma Yuan said, "Your Majesty treats me like this, aren't you afraid that I am an assassin" Liu Xiu smiled and said, "You are not an assassin, but a lobbyist"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ma Yuan sighed and said, "I have been friends with Gongsun Shu for many years, and I finally went to Chengdu to see him once, but he played a prestige and put on a show for me." Compared to His Majesty, he is really far behind."

On November 19, Liu Xiu arrived in Wan County, Nanyang County. On December 20, we arrived at Liqiu again. At this time, Qin Feng, the king of Chuli, had been attacked by Cen Peng for nearly two years, and more than 90,000 people were killed, with only more than 1,000 people left under his command, and the food was about to run out. Liu Xiu sent an envoy to surrender, but Qin Feng still did not surrender. So Liu Xiu ordered Zhu Hu to besiege Qin Feng's old nest Liqiu on behalf of Cen Peng, and let Cen Peng and Fu Jun lead their troops south to attack Tian Rong in Yiling.

Gongsun Shu gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Hanzhong and accumulated countless grains. He also built a ten-story ship, carved the world's pastors, and kept the seal. Then Li Yu and Cheng Wu were sent to lead tens of thousands of people out of Yizhou to rendezvous with Lu Kun in Chencang County, the right Fufeng, and prepare to attack the Sanfu area.

Feng Yi sent troops and defeated the Shu army. Li Yu and Cheng Wu rushed back to Hanzhong. Feng Yi returned to defeat Lu Kun. In this battle, Kui Huan sent troops to help Feng Yi for his meritorious service, and Liu Xiu personally wrote a letter to express his gratitude. Several times after that, Kui Huan and Feng Yi joined forces to defeat the Shu army.

Gongsun Shu was helpless, so he sent a messenger to seal the great Sikong and Fu'an king. Kui Huan sent troops, and Gongsun Shu was furious.

This year, because of Taishan Haojie and Qi King Zhang Bu soldiers. Wu Han recommended Chen Jun as Taishan Taishou. After Chen Jun arrived, he defeated Zhang Bu and settled on Mount Tai.

On January 17, 29, Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang.

In January, Liu Xiu sent a festival to send horse aid back to Longyou. As Liu Xiu said, Ma Yuan is not an assassin, but an authentic lobbyist. Accepting horse aid has a role that cannot be underestimated in dealing with the hustle and bustle.

Sure enough, after Ma Yuan returned to Tianshui County, Kui Huan couldn't wait to ask him about his trip to Luoyang.

Ma Yuan said: "According to my observation, Liu Xiu is really not ordinary. In terms of strategy, intelligence, courage, learning, mind, and measurement, there is no one in the world who can compare with it."

Kui Huan looked at Ma Yuan with a gloomy face, "Then according to you, if you compare Liu Xiu with Gaozu Liu Bang, who is more powerful?"

Ma Yuan replied: "Liu Xiu, I'm afraid it's not as good." Gaozu's personality can be good or evil, and it is indispensable. Liu Xiu is different, he likes to be a politician, self-disciplined and modest, and he doesn't like to drink and mess around like Gaozu "When I heard the hustle, my face turned black." Ma Yuan seems to be raising Liu Bang, but in fact, he is changing his way to praise Liu Xiu. Kui Huan seemed to see: Liu Xiu's terrible name is like a nightmare in the night, becoming a shadow that he will never get rid of...

On February 27, Liu Xiu named Kong An, a descendant of Yin Shang, as the Duke of Yin Shaojia.

In February, Su Mao led five school soldiers to rescue Chuihui, and attacked Zhou Jian inside and outside the city, defeating Ma Wu. When Ma Wu fled, he passed by Wang Ba's camp and shouted for help. Wang Ba didn't hear it, and only ordered the wall not to come out. The subordinates persuaded him, and Wang overbearing said, "Su Mao recruits outlaws, and his momentum is very sharp." Ma Wu also hoped that our army would come to the rescue, and their morale would definitely not be high. If our army goes out of the camp to engage in battle, it will inevitably lose both. Now that I am closed and stubborn, and I do not show help, the thief will take advantage of the victory and advance lightly, and Ma Wu will fight to the death without help. I will not go out of the camp until the thieves are tired, so as to bear their defeat, and this battle will be won."

As a result, Su Mao and Zhou Jian's two troops surrounded Ma Wu, and Ma Wu also ordered a duel with the thieves. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, but Wang Ba still stood still. In the middle of the army, Lu Run and dozens of other heroes finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke their hair to fight. Wang Ba then ordered to fight. And without opening the front door, he led the elite horse to sneak out of the back tent and go around behind the enemy. This time it became Su Mao and Zhou Jian who were attacked before and after, and they were defeated in a panic. Wang Ba and Ma Wu each collected their troops and returned to the camp.

A few days later, Su Mao and Zhou Jian sent troops to challenge again, and Wang Ba only sat in the tent, drank with the military officials, and talked and laughed freely. Suddenly, a thief arrow flew in, hitting the wine bottle in front of Wang Ba, and Wang Ba was still calm. The military officials asked to go to battle one after another, "The enemy has been defeated once the day before yesterday, and it is easy to attack today," Wang Ba shook his head and said, "Otherwise." Su Mao came with a guest soldier, and I expected him to be short of food, so he challenged again and again, hoping to win for a while. I just need to close the camp and rest and wait for work, so that I can surrender the soldiers without a fight" Su Mao and Zhou Jian had no choice but to collect their troops and return to the camp.

That night, Zhou Jianzhi's nephew Zhou Yu rebelled in the city. The king of Liang, Liu Xuan, fled to Xifang County, Shanyang County to join Jiaoqiang, Su Mao fled to Xiapi County, Donghai County to join Dong Xian, and Zhou Jian died on the way to escape.

In February, Liu Xiu got the news: Peng Pet, who was determined to start his own business three years ago, the newly listed company has collapsed, and Peng Pet himself has died... Liu Xiu couldn't believe his ears: Isn't Peng Pet quite good? Why don't you break down?

Here's the thing: Peng Pet's wife has been having nightmares lately, and strange things often happen around Peng Pet. When I asked the diviner, I got the answer, "The soldier starts from it." You don't need to guard against the outside, but when you guard against the inside" Peng Pet thought about it: After being a disciple, Lan Qing was originally a hostage of Liu Xiu in Luoyang, could it be that he wanted to conspire to change? Peng Pet ordered the queen Lan Qing to be transferred to the border and not to be inside. At the same time, Peng pampered himself to worship the gods and fasted in the quiet room.

Zimi and the other three palace attendants didn't know what to do with Peng Chong, so they secretly plotted to kill Peng Chong and his wife and surrender to Liu Xiu. On this day, while Peng Pet was resting in bed, the three tied Peng Pet to the bed, and then went out to pretend to spread Peng Pet's order "The king is fasting, and the foreign officials are going to rest" and tied all the slaves and maids to the secret room. Then summon Peng Chong's wife.

Peng Chong's wife walked into her husband's fasting room, and when she saw this scene, she immediately exclaimed, "slave rebellion", and as soon as she called out these two words, she was beaten by three people, and Peng Chong's wife did not dare to make a sound. Then Zimi and another person followed Peng Chong's wife inside to search for treasures. A third person was left to guard Peng Pet. Peng Pet whispered to him, "I treat you well, and I know that you are coerced by Zimi." If you let me go, I will marry my daughter Zhu to you, and my property will be divided equally with you" Although the third person was quite moved, he looked outdoors and saw that Zimi was in the courtyard, and he didn't dare to loosen Peng Pet's bonds.

Zimi looted all of Peng's jewels and loaded a total of six horses. then forced Peng Pet's wife to sew two sacs so that she could hold something. Peng Chong's wife didn't dare to disobey. It was late at night when the sewing was completed. Zimi untied Peng Pet's bindings, forced him to write a handwritten edict, and told the general of the city gate, asking Zimi and others to go to Zihou Lanqing, and open the door immediately, without ordering him to stay... After Peng Pet wrote as he said, Zimi raised his knife and cut off the heads of Peng Pet and his wife, put them in a bag, opened the city gate, and went straight to Luoyang.

The next day, when the door of the fasting chamber was not opened for a long time, the people entered over the wall, and saw only two headless corpses, all of them terrified. Shangshu Han Li and others investigated the murderer and buried the body; While preparing to set up Peng Wu, the son of Peng Pet, as the king, he was killed by the national teacher Han Li, and took Peng Wu's head to surrender to the sacrifice outside the city. Subsequently, all of Peng Chong's clan were killed.

Zimi came to Luoyang and presented the head of Peng Pet and his wife, and was named the unrighteous marquis by Liu Xiu. Later generations commented on "Since the clouds are unjust, why are they marquis"

In this way, such a big fire, burning vigorously, burned itself completely overnight! Hey, the world is so funny, the world is too impermanent... Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Started to do the aftermath work: appointed Guo Ling as Yuyang Taishou. As for Geng Qian, who was one with Peng Pet, Liu Xiu asked his uncle Fan Hong to go to Shanggu County with a festival, and in the name of "the border county is cold and bitter, not enough to live for a long time", Geng Guo was welcomed to Luoyang, given Jiadi, invited by the court, and named Geng Shu, the second son of Geng Guo, as the Marquis of Mu Ping.

In February, Wu Han led Geng Yi and Wang Chang to defeat Fuping in Pingyuan County, and obtained a group of rebels, and pursued the remnants all the way north to Bohai County, with more than 40,000 people surrendered.

Geng Yi didn't attack Peng Chong, but Liu Xiu didn't let him be idle. Liu Xiu pointed to the east and said to Geng Yi, "You lead Liu Xin and Chen Jun over there to help me get that Qi King Zhang Bu."

On March 8, Liu Xiuxi named his uncle, Liu Liang, the king of Guangyang, as the king of Zhao and began to enter the country.

In March, before Geng Yi could make a move, Liu Xiu received a message that almost made him vomit blood: This world is really divided! Someone has betrayed him again. What made Liu Xiu vomit blood even more was that the person who betrayed him was actually the person he once trusted the most: Pang Meng was originally the general of the Xiajiang soldiers. After Liu Xuan became emperor, he was named Jizhou Mu. Later, he voted for Liu Xiu in HB.

It is said that hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated. However, in Liu Xiu's view, cultured hooligans are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the hooligans who can disguise! Pang Meng is more modest and obedient, so he was taken by Liu Xiu and appointed as a servant. After getting more and more favored by Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu even publicly praised Pang Meng in front of people, "You can support the loneliness of six feet, and the person who sends the life of a hundred miles, Pang Meng is also" Liu Xiu has always looked at people very accurately, but this time he just looked away, and he was so serious, it was really embarrassing!

However, since Pang Meng is so trusted by Liu Xiu, he deserves a bright future, why does he want to rebel? Could it be that the brain was kicked by a donkey?

As soon as Liu Xiu inquired, it turned out that the problem was herself! The thing is broken in an edict. At that time, Liu Xiu asked Pang Meng and Gai Yan to attack Dong Xian together. But Pang Meng found out: Liu Xiu's edict was only given to Gai Yan, but he didn't!

Pang Meng couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart: As Liu Xiu's favorite, why did he only give the edict to Gai Yan, but he didn't? Could it be that Gai Yan said something bad to Liu Xiu to make Liu Xiu think that he was unreliable? After thinking about it, Pang Meng finally came to the conclusion: Gai Yan must have made a small report to Liu Xiu. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Liu Xiu not to give himself an edict!

Whether Gai Yan gave Liu Xiu a small report to Pang Meng, only God knows; Whether Pang Meng had any tricks caught by Gai Yan is only known to the ghost. As a thief, the heart is weak, and another theorem is introduced from this theorem: if you don't be a thief, your heart will not be empty... But the more Pang Meng thought about it, the more empty his heart became, and he was even so afraid that he rebelled, which shows that there must be a ghost in his heart!

So, Pang Meng, who was suspicious of dark ghosts, suddenly raised troops to attack Gaiyan. This battle of revenge was very relieved. Pang Meng defeated Gai Yan, and then garrisoned the north of Taoxiang in Rencheng County, Dongping County, and united with Dong Xian, the king of Haixi, and proclaimed himself the king of Dongping.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that Pang Meng also wanted to be king. The news that Gai Yan rebelled after beating him up for a small report was rife on the rivers and lakes turned out to be a big conspiracy that had been brewing for a long time!

At the beginning, Li Yi, an old Jianghu, couldn't escape Liu Xiu's eyes. But Liu Xiu never thought that Pang Meng, a wolf with ambition, had been lurking by his side for many years, and he was blinded by him. Liu Xiu, who was extremely embarrassed, was about to vomit blood, and his lungs were about to explode. So he immediately issued an order: "The old thief will not be destroyed, and my heart will not die!" You all give me strong soldiers and horses, and you will meet Suiyang. When I personally supervise the battle, I will definitely slaughter Pang Meng."

Pang Meng broke through the county of Chu County to govern Pengcheng and captured Sun Meng alive. When Sun Meng was about to be beheaded, the county official Liu Ping lay on Sun Meng's body, suffered seven injuries, and cried for death. Pang Meng was grateful for his righteousness and ordered Sun Meng to be released. Sun Meng had been recovering for a long time, thirsty and wanted to drink water, and Liu Ping poured blood into it.

In March, Cen Peng captured Yiling, Tian Rong fled to Shu, and was named the king of Yijiang by Gongsun Shu. Tian Rong's wife and tens of thousands of soldiers were all captured by Cen Peng.

After that, Cen Peng began to prepare for the destruction of Shu. ordered Feng Jun to garrison Ba County to govern Jiangzhou, Tian Hong to garrison Nan County Yi L County, Li Xuan to garrison Nan County Yi D County, and he himself led his troops back to Jingzhou and Jinxiang of Nan County and JL County. At the same time, he began to recruit all the barbarians and canonize their rulers.
