In January of the 23rd year of Jianwu (47), the barbarians of Nanjun rebelled. The www.biquge.info was pacified by Liu Shang and moved his people to Jiangxia County.

On May 8, Da Situ Cai Mao died. In August, Grand Sikong Dulin died. On September 13, Chen Liutai Shouyu was appointed as the Great Situ. On October 9, the servant Zhang Chun was appointed as the Grand Sikong.

In October, Goguryeo led the people to Lelang County and asked for attachment.

In December, Wuling County's barbarian Jingfu Xiang rebelled one-way, and Liu Shang was ordered to lead more than 10,000 people up the river to quell the rebellion. As a result, in the first battle of Wuxi, Wuling was defeated and lured the enemy to go deeper. Liu Shang advanced lightly against the enemy, but was ambushed. Liu Shang's entire army was annihilated, and he was killed.

This year, Bi sent another Han man named Guo Heng to meet Xihe Taishou with a map of the Xiongnu and ask for the Han Dynasty to be attached. This matter was learned by the two Gudu Marquis who were sent to monitor Bi that year. They hurriedly came to see Pu Nu Shan Yu and suggested that at the Dragon Temple Conference in May this year, they would be killed! At that time, a younger brother gradually put the king under the tent of Pu Nu Danyu, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly came to report to his brother. He was more frightened and angry, so he gathered 4-50,000 soldiers from the eight divisions, and prepared to wait for the two bones to come back, kill them, and then officially start the army! On the way back, Guduhou saw Bi's army and hurriedly fled back to his headquarters. Pu Nu Shan Yu sent 10,000 horsemen to attack again, but seeing the prosperity of the soldiers and horses, everyone did not dare to return.

In January of the 24th year of Jianwu (48), Bi sent an envoy to Wuyuan Saixia, expressing his willingness to be a feudal domain of the Han Dynasty forever and jointly fight against Pu Nu Shan Yu's heart. Liu Xiu asked the ministers to discuss this matter, and the ministers all thought that "the world is initially decided, and China is empty." Yi Di's love is difficult to know, and it is not allowed" only Geng Yi's third brother and Wuguan Zhonglang will think that Geng Guo "should follow the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and accept it." Let him fight Xianbei in the east for the Han Dynasty, reject the Xiongnu in the north, lead the four Yi, and complete the border county" Liu Xiu adopted Geng Guo's words, and Xu Bi was attached.

In July, Wulingman rebelled and attacked Linyuan County, Wuling County. Liu Xiu sent Li Song and Ma Cheng to lead the troops again, but they lost again... At this time, Ma Yuan jumped out and asked to go on the expedition! Liu Xiu just smiled and shook his head in disagreement. The reason is simple: Ma Yuan is old!

The years are unforgiving, Liu Xiu rebelled at the age of 28, it seems to be just a blink of an eye, and he is 54 years old this year. Ma Yuan is 8 years older than Liu Xiu, and his 62-year-old beard has turned white. At this time, 19 of the 28 generals of Yuntai have died, and 8 people who are still alive (1 person cannot find the year of death) have long since retired, and only Ma Yuan is still relying on it...

Ma Yuan seemed to see Liu Xiu's thoughts, "Your Majesty doesn't think I'm old and think I'm useless" Liu Xiu just smiled and didn't speak.

Ma Yuan said, "No matter what, I took the job in Wuling County, no one wants to snatch it away" Liu Xiu asked, "Can you really still fight?" Then you ride a horse and show me" Ma Yuan didn't say a word, took out the horse, jumped on the horse quickly, looked at Liu Xiu in a tangled manner, and didn't speak...

Liu Xiu smiled again: "Okay, you old man, you are still so energetic." Okay, Wuling County's job will let you" At this point, I believe no one has seen Ma Yuan's problem. But Liu Xiu has seen it: Ma Yuan's biggest weakness is two words - good work!

It is a good thing for people to have ability, but if the ability is used in the wrong place, it becomes a burden. Ma Yuan's lifelong dream is to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather. The ideal looks beautiful, but in Liu Xiu's opinion, it feels awkward!

"Lian Po is old, can he still eat" King Zhao sent people to inspect Lian Po, because there was no one in Zhao State, so he would think of him. But Liu Xiu is still alive, and there are not a few people who can fight. Lian Po wanted to save the country but couldn't, but Ma Yuan was always vigilant that others wanted to rob him of his big job. Therefore, Ma Yuan and Lian Po are not the same thing!

Ma Yuan didn't know: the world belongs to theirs, and even more so to young people! If you don't come down, you can't get up... You played the glorious title of "Horse Leather Shroud", blocking the way of many young generals, you are happy to death, but can young people be happy?

Thinking about Deng Yu and the others retreating, why is Ma Yuan unwilling to retreat? Suddenly, Liu Xiu figured it out: Ma Yuan has been going well since his debut, and he seems to have never suffered defeat. As long as the horses come out of the horses, there is no enemy that cannot be handled. Ma Yuan wants to die on the battlefield, right? Think of the Horse Leather Shroud, right? Good! For the sake of the deceased, I decided: This time it will be for you! Let you die on the battlefield...

Liu Xiu ordered Ma Yuan to lead Ma Wu, Geng Shu, Liu Chen, Sun Yong, and more than 40,000 soldiers to fight against Wuximan.

In October, Bi set himself up as the Xiongnu Shan Yu under the support of the eight Xiongnu adults, and followed the name of his grandfather, who was a minister to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and became the first Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu to Hu Han Evil! At this point, the Great Huns were completely divided! The Northern Xiongnu Punu Shan was about to withdraw from China's historical stage under the blows of Dou Gu, Geng Bing and others; The Southern Xiongnu Hu Han Evil Shan Yu sent an envoy to the Eastern Han Dynasty to pay tribute to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zang Gong played for this reason, "the Huns suffered from hunger and natural disasters, and there were splitting man-made disasters, and the ministers were willing to lead 5,000 horsemen to go deep into the Huns and make meritorious contributions to His Majesty" Liu Xiuxiao did not allow "the house of constant victory, it is difficult to worry about the enemy." I think for myself"

In January of the 25th year of Jianwu (49), Liaodong foreign merchants invaded Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu, Taiyuan and other counties, and Liaodong Taishou sent envoys to surrender. Then, the priest summoned Xianbei Dadu to protect Bihe, and said to Bihe, "Do you want to make meritorious contributions?" Want a reward? Then go fight the Huns! Take the head of the Huns to receive the reward" without saying a word, lead the troops to fight the Huns! In the first battle, more than 2,000 Xiongnu heads were killed, and they were exchanged for rewards to sacrifice to the priests. Since then, he has attacked the Huns every year, and has constantly taken the head of the Huns to receive rewards. Since the Huns are weak; Xianbei and Wuhuan were incorporated into the tributary, and in the end there was no police.

In January, the Southern Xiongnu Hu Han Evil Shan Yu ordered his younger brother Zuo Xian Wang Mo to lead more than 10,000 troops to attack the Northern Xiongnu Pu Nu Shan Yu's younger brother Xue Zuo Xian Wang, and captured him alive. Pu Nu was shocked by it, but it was more than a thousand miles away. His subordinates, the Marquis of the Bone and the Marquis of the Right Bone, led more than 30,000 people and surrendered to the Southern Xiongnu. In March, the Southern Xiongnu Hu Han Xie Shan Yu sent an envoy to contribute to the Han Dynasty again, and sent his servants to Luoyang, in order to rebuild the old covenant between his grandfather Hu Han Xie Shan Yu and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty with Liu Xiu.

In March, Ma Yuan led a large army to Xiajun County, Changsha County. Here, he had a quarrel with the lieutenant general Geng Shu. There is only one thing in the quarrel, that is, which offensive line to choose is more realistic.

There are two ways to attack Wuling County. Ma Yuan believes that Hutou Mountain should be crossed, this road is very dangerous, but it is very close, which can reduce food consumption; Geng Shu thinks: You should take Chong County, Wuling County, the road is a bit far, but it is easy to walk and safe.

It should be said that Ma Yuan is a senior, but Geng Shu of the Young Zhuang faction doesn't eat you at all. The two of them are arguing, and it is best to have only one way: each of them reports to Luoyang separately, and whichever Liu Xiu approves, he will go according to which... After the report was typed, Liu Xiu quickly replied. Ma Yuan won, and Liu Xiu approved his route. Ma Yuan was very proud, but he didn't know that he had jumped into a huge pit dug for him by Liu Xiu! As soon as the army plunged headlong into Hutou Mountain, Ma Yuan found that he had jumped into a terrible trap!

Ma Yuan broke the barbarian army in Linyuan County, Wuling County, and captured more than 2,000 people. Then, the barbarians changed their tactics, occupied dangerous terrain, and held on without fighting. The water in Hutou Mountain is turbulent, and neither the warships nor the grain ships can move forward. Even more terrible: the weather is getting hotter, the plague is rampant, and a large number of soldiers are dying. What's even more terrifying is that the 63-year-old Ma Yuan also fell ill!

The Han Dynasty expeditionary force is like a warship sailing to land, if you want to advance, you can't retreat, you can't retreat, and you are stuck alive in Hutou Mountain! Ma Yuan was placed by his subordinates in a stone cave by the stream. The cave was damp and dark, and he lay still, staring blankly. It's like a withered lamp, as if a light breeze can be extinguished...

The barbarians on the mountain, seeing this scene down the mountain, they were all happy, so they waved their flags and shouted, rushed down the mountain, and launched an attack on the horse reinforcements... The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! A never-before-seen despair was like a plague, clutching Ma Yuan's throat. He didn't expect that he would fight against the barbarians countless times in his life, and he had never lost. But this time, it's unprecedented to lose!

But Ma Yuan still hasn't given up! Whenever he heard the shouts of the barbarians, he had to ask someone to help him get out of bed, and struggled to crawl to the entrance of the cave to observe the enemy. Fight, in the name of heroes, as long as there is a breath of anger, fight to the end! Looking at the tragic hero's back of Ma Yuan, the tears of the guards on the left and right couldn't help but flow out...

Ma Yuan is about to fall, but not everyone is saddened. We can see that there is a group of people who are preparing to fire their guns and march forward, ready to trample the horses to the end!

The first person to jump out to step on the horse to help was the deputy general Geng Shu! Geng Shu wrote a letter to his brother Geng Yi, venting bitterness. In Geng Shu's view, Ma Yuan is old, and his thinking is also old. If he hadn't been stubborn and didn't follow his own advice, the expeditionary force would not have been trapped in Hutou Mountain. Well, now you're dying. But I, as well as the expeditionary force of the Great Han, will also be buried with you!

So Geng Shu counted the two sins of Ma Yuan in the letter: 1. Being arbitrary and not listening to other people's opinions, resulting in a failed calculation and choosing the wrong offensive route; 2. Conservative thinking, when the barbarians assembled, they did not attack decisively, but like a small trader in the Western Regions, they had to camp at every step, missing the opportunity to destroy the enemy. In the end, Geng Shu added another one: I predicted that there might be a plague outbreak in Hutou Mountain, but it turned out as I expected...

Geng Shu's letter, of course, is not over by pouring bitter water. After the eldest brother Geng Yi received the letter, he understood everything, but he didn't say anything, just handed it over to Liu Xiu. Soon, Liu Xiu made a statement. Liu Xiu's opinion is indeed surprising - he vowed to hold Ma Yuan responsible!

Since Liu Xiu's rebellion, generals have rarely been held accountable. When Wu Han slaughtered Chengdu City, Liu Xiu scolded Wu Han for being unjust. But the result? After Wu Han returned to the army, he was rewarded very generously, and there was no sense of accountability at all. and Deng Yu repeatedly refused to listen to the edict, and Liu Xiu did not blame the Red Mei Army for its repeated defeats. On the contrary, Deng Yu and Wu Han ranked first and second among the heroes!

Liu Xiu wants to take Ma Yuan, in his political career, this is groundbreaking! Some people may not be able to figure it out, Liu Xiu has never been very talkative? How can you be ruthless this time, and not even let go of an old general?

In fact, Geng Yi didn't think Liu Xiu's action was strange, and it is estimated that Deng Yu wouldn't find it strange. Because they all know: Although Liu Xiu is easy to speak, he also has a bottom line in doing things. It's a pity that Ma Yuan has repeatedly broken through Liu Xiu's bottom line!

What is Liu Xiu's bottom line? That is, the generals should not be too greedy. Based on this principle, as long as anyone with a little political acumen can see it: Ma Yuan is good, and Liu Xiu will have to clean him up sooner or later!

Here, I can tell you very responsibly: This time, Liu Xiu is going to be serious!

Think about it first: Throughout Liu Xiu's military career, did he make extremely wrong military decisions? Not! On the contrary, he was out of the battlefield, and he was able to strategize, make accurate judgments, and successfully command front-line generals to fight. I believe that Deng Yu and Wu Han have a deep understanding of this.

On an ancient battlefield where there is no satellite positioning, no telephone and telegraph, Liu Xiu has many chances of winning, which is really a great miracle. Such a military wizard, you can't accept it! But now the question comes: when Ma Yuan and Geng Shu's report reached Luoyang, Liu Xiu, a military genius, actually approved Ma Yuan's plan? Didn't Liu Xiu see that there was a fatal flaw in Ma Yuan's plan?

I think: When Liu Xiu saw Ma Yuan's report, he was already smiling in his heart. For many years, he has never missed a decision. But this time, he's going to miss it on purpose! For Ma Ai, but also for Liu Xiu himself!

In the political game, Liu Xiu wants to wash off the old card of Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan must be out! Otherwise, a number of young heroes will not be able to get ahead! For example, Liu Xiu's eldest son-in-law Liang Song, and Liu Xiu's second son-in-law Dou Gu!
