Liu Xuan's surrender
But the rebellion doesn't believe in tears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Chong quickly organized government agencies. The three public and nine Qing teams are all complete. Fan Chong was very modest, and only hung himself up with the position of a royal historian. Xu Xuan is the prime minister, Feng An is the left big Sima, and Xie Lu is the right big Sima.
Liu Xiaqing made red clothes for Liu Penzi, and the Xuan car was a big horse, so that the service was ridden. But Liu Penzi regarded it as inconvenient, and still secretly wore old clothes and went out to play with a group of herdsmen. In the end, Liu Xiaqing was forced to live in one room and was not allowed to enter or leave. Fan Chong and others don't often go to greet them, but they just call on the world under the pretense of their name.
But no matter what, everything is ready, and the Red Eyebrow Army is about to attack Chang'an City!
On July 5, Liu Xiufeng, who was only 24 years old, was the great Situ and the Marquis, and he ate 10,000 households. Then you have to choose Da Sikong and Da Sima. Liu Xiu named Wang Liang the great Sikong on the 11th according to the proverb on the "Red Fu Fu" that helped him claim the emperor, "Wang Liang is the main guard of Xuanwu". is also ready to appoint a little-known Pingdi general Sun Xian as the great Sima according to the proverb, and now everyone is gone. So on the 16th, Wu Han was named the Great Sima. Jing Dan is the general of the hussars, Geng Yi is the general of Jianwei, Gai Yan is the general of Huya, Zhu Hu is the general of Jianyi, and Du Mao is the general.
Fu Zhan was once appointed by Liu Xuan as the Taishou of Pingyuan County. At that time, the world was in turmoil, but Fu Zhan governed Pingyuan County peacefully. At this time, Liu Xiu also asked Fu Zhan to serve as the secretary of the book and asked him to pawn the old system. At the same time, because Deng Yu was abroad, Liu Xiu worshiped Fu Zhan as the prime minister, and acted on behalf of Deng Yu.
Deng Yu crossed the Yellow River in Fenyin County, Hedong County, entered Xiayang County of Zuo Fengyi on the opposite bank, and defeated more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Zuo Fudu Duke Cheng under Liu Xuan in Ya County.
Liu Mao, the younger brother of Liu She, the king of the Yuan clan, proclaimed himself a new general between Beijing and Mi counties in Henan County, and later captured Yingchuan and Runan counties, with more than 100,000 people. Liu Xiu ordered Jing Dan, Geng Yi, and Chen Jun to attack. In the end, Liu Mao surrendered and was named King of Zhongshan.
In July, Liu Xiu came to Zhihuai County, Hanoi County. Ordered Geng Yi and Chen Juntun to defend against the enemy army east of Chenggao and Xingyang. He then ordered Wu Han to lead 11 generals, including Zhu Hu, Cen Peng, Jia Fu, and Jian Rong, to surround Zhu Kun's Luoyang City. In August, Liu Xiu re-entered Ha Duong County, Hanoi County. Liu Xuan's feudal Emperor Tian Li surrendered.
In August, Li Song returned from the city and stormed Chang'an with Zhao Meng. After more than a month of fighting, Wang Kuang, Zhang Wei and others were finally driven out. Liu Xuan returned to Changxin Palace. However, just as Liu Xuan was immersed in the joy of victory, a terrifying cloud of crushing the city had drifted towards Chang'an City.
This black cloud is not Deng Yu's army, but the army of tigers and wolves with red eyebrows! The Red Mei army has reached Gaoling County, northeast of Chang'an City and Zuo Fengyi. Wang Kuang and Zhang Wei surrendered directly, and then helped the Red Mei Army to attack the eastern capital gate of Chang'an City. Li Song went out to battle and was captured alive. Li Song's younger brother Li Kuang was the captain of the city gate, and he took the initiative to open the city gate to welcome the Red Mei army into the city.
In September, the Red Eyebrow army entered the city. Liu Xuan rode out of Chang'an City again from the kitchen city gate. Liu Penzi's eldest brother, Liu Gong, who was named the Marquis of Shi by Liu Xuan, had to be imprisoned and wait for Liu Xuan's fate because the Red Eyebrow Army supported him as his third brother. But now that Liu Xuandu has fled, Liu Gong can only come to see Liu Zhi, the king of Dingtao, with the shackles, and Liu Zhi will remove the shackles for him. The two went to chase Liu Xuan along the Wei River together.
Yan Ben, the right assistant commander appointed by Liu Xuan, was suspicious at this time and wanted to dedicate Liu Xuan to the red eyebrows to invite merit. So in the name of leading troops to protect, Liu Xuan was robbed to Gaoling County and sent troops to guard day and night. Liu Xuan's generals surrendered to the Red Mei Army one after another, but only Prime Minister Cao did not surrender and was killed.
When the news came, Liu Xiu was very kind, and issued an edict on the 6th: Liu Xuan was named the king of Huaiyang. and issued a statement that if anyone dares to kill Liu Xuan, he will be punished as a great treason; If there is anyone who escorts Liu Xuan to my side, he will be given the title of marquis.
On the 19th, Liu Xiu issued an edict: The name of the world should be rewarded by the world. Therefore, Zhuo Mao, who is over 70 years old, is the first of the hundred officials, the Taifu and the Marquis of Baode.
Although Liu Xiu ascended the throne and became emperor, he still lacked a decent capital. And the world is big, only two places are the most kingly: Chang'an don't think about it, Liu Xiu only thinks about being able to set the capital Luoyang.
At this time, Luoyang City was surrounded by regiments, and sooner or later it would fall into the hands of Liu Xiu. But when is this 'sooner or later'? Liu Xiu didn't know either. Months have passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that Zhu Kun in Luoyang City is still stubbornly defending, to be honest: Liu Xiu is really anxious!
Human nature has weaknesses. As long as you grasp its weaknesses, you can do more with less. Just like dealing with Li Yi, he killed him without a single soldier or shot. So what method can you use to get rid of this tora in front of him? At this time, Liu Xiu thought of a trick: since Zhu Tu doesn't eat hard, why not try to feed him soft food? Liu Xiu thought of someone.
Liu Xiu summoned Cen Peng, "You are now my court captain, but you were also Zhu Kun's captain before." I'll send you a mission, go and say that the tuna will be surrendered," Cen Peng received the order, came to the city of Luoyang, and looked at each other with the tuna in the city. Cen Peng did a long day of ideological work on the city. Before that, Zhu Kun said, "I understand what you said." But now there are two things: 1 Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Xuan was killed by design with me Li Yi; 2 I dissuaded Liu Xuan not to send Liu Xiu to Hebei... If I vote for Liu Xiu now, will he be jealous of these two things and disadvantage me?"
Cen Peng was right to think about it, this question has to go back and ask the leader first. So he turned around and left, relaying these words to Liu Xiu as they were. Liu Xiudao: "You go and tell Zhu Kun: Those who do big things will not take these little resentments to heart." As long as he is willing to surrender, I will protect him and I will not kill him. With the Yellow River as a witness, I, Liu Xiu, will never break my word"
Cen Peng ran back to Luoyang City and shouted Liu Xiu's words to Zhu Kun in the city. After hearing this, Zhu Kun lowered a ladder made of soft rope from the city and shouted to the city, "Cen Peng, if what you said is true, climb up and talk to me."
Cen Peng looked at the rope ladder, stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the rope and was about to climb up. At this time, I saw Zhu Kun looking up to the sky in the city and laughing, "Okay, you don't have to come up." I believe in you" Zhu Kun told Cen Peng: he was willing to surrender, and he would definitely go to see Liu Xiu in person in five days.
Five days later, on the 26th, Zhu Kun really went out of the city. But before leaving, Zhu Kun ordered the generals to guard the city, "You must be optimistic about Luoyang City." If I can't come back this time, you will lead the army out of Yuyuan Pass and go to Yingchuan County to join Yin Zun, the king of Yun."
In the final analysis, Zhu Kun still doesn't trust Liu Xiu very much. He asked someone to tie himself up and go to see Liu Xiu with Cen Peng. Liu Xiu personally untied Zhu Kun and served the marquis at a banquet. He also ordered Cen Peng to send Zhu Kun back to Luoyang City safely that night.
This is the mind of those who have achieved great things, and Zhu Kun is completely convinced! The next day, he and Su Mao and other generals opened the gate of Luoyang City and led the crowd to surrender. He was named General Pingdi and Marquis of Fugou.
Immediately afterwards, the servant Shi Dushi was ordered to enter the city to pacify the people of Luoyang and prohibit the soldiers from plundering. General Xiao Guang was abused by the army, and Du Shi issued an edict ordering him to strictly enforce military discipline. Xiao Guang didn't listen and was killed on the spot by Du Shi. After Liu Xiu found out, he specially summoned Du Shi and gave him a halberd. From then on, the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were all feared and did not dare to do wrong. Luoyang is then Da'an.
On October 18, Liu Xiu entered Luoyang, but Xingnangong was not His Royal Highness and issued an edict to officially designate Luoyang as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
After getting Luoyang, the next thing is to see how Deng Yu takes Chang'an City. But to tell the truth, the current Chang'an City is simply chaotic, and Deng Yu alone may not be able to clean up the huge mess in Chang'an City!
Liu Xiu's edict has been issued for more than a month, and Liu Xuan, the king of Huaiyang, is still hiding, ignoring Liu Xiu's edict. At this time, the Red Eyebrow Army also issued an edict in the name of Liu Penzi's Son of Heaven: "Within twenty days, Liu Xuan will surrender and be crowned the king of Changsha." After the deadline, it will no longer be accepted"
As soon as this edict came out, Liu Xuan's heart was moved. He didn't follow Liu Xiu, who was good, but wanted to follow Liu Penzi. Things gather by like, people by groups, this is really true. Green Forest and Red Eyebrows are both from robbery, and when they come together, they can be regarded as smelling similar.
Liu Xuan sent Liu Penzi's eldest brother Liu Gong to negotiate with Xie Lu, who was sent by the Red Eyebrow Army. The parties soon reached an agreement. Liu Xuan followed Xie Lu to see Liu Penzi: meat and ribbon. After Fan Chong got the emperor's jade seal, he looked up to the sky and smiled, turned around and left... Finished! Liu Xuan was thrown into the empty courtyard, his heart full of fear. With his professional sense of smell, he could smell death coming at him!
As I said earlier: The Red Eyebrow Army came to attack Chang'an, but it was black and black. This time, Fan Chong used the king of Changsha as bait to lure Liu Xuan to surrender, just for the legendary emperor Yuxi. As long as that thing is in hand, is Liu Xuan still worth living?
After Fan Chong left, the red-eyed generals prepared to kill Liu Xuan immediately. At this time, Liu Gong hurriedly caught up with Fan Chong and shouted loudly, "If you kill him today, I will die in front of you" Although Liu Penzi is a puppet, his brother's roar finally understood Fan Chong's roar. You can be shameless, but you can't be so shameless! Crossing the bridge and demolishing the river, forgetting righteousness for profit, is really unkind!
Fan Chong patted his head, suddenly a little embarrassed. After a long time, I saw him raise his head and say, "Okay, then pardon Liu Xuan and make him the Marquis of Weiwei", but Liu Gong still insisted on the previous discussion. Under Liu Gong's coercion, Fan Chong finally agreed to crown Liu Xuan as the king of Changsha.
and let Liu Xuan live with Xie Lu, and Xie Lu is responsible for protection. Of course, Liu Xuan's most important protector is Liu Penzi's eldest brother Liu Gong. It's just that Liu Xuan's life is only in the last month...
Liu Xuan was lucky to escape. But can you hide from today, can you hide from tomorrow? Can you dodge open guns, but can you dodge hidden arrows? The thought of this made his heart half cold. He firmly believes that in the shadows of the corner of history, there is an ambush of a group of masters of dark arrows, who will sooner or later shoot at his back...
Liu Xuan was right. Indeed, there is a group of cold arrow masters hidden in the ranks of the Red Eyebrow Army. They are the generals who fought Liu Xuanda in the palace and defected to the Red Mei Army after being driven out of Chang'an City. For example, Wang Kuang, the leader of the new city soldiers, is one of them!
Wang Kuang was very wronged. Those who do bad things are his subordinates. However, whatever bad things are, people want to plant them on his head. There's no way, he's the leader, without him nodding, can those people mess around? So no matter whether Wang Kuang thinks this way or not, but that's what people think. It can also be seen from this: the leader of troubled times is not something that ordinary people can be! Of course, Wang Kuang cast his red eyebrows, but no one saw clearly with any eye, and he wanted to release a cold arrow to Liu Xuan. But someone saw that Zhang Wei was about to throw a hidden gun. Zhang Wei was the general of the Xiajiang soldiers, and his leader Wang Chang was once in a group with Liu Xuan.
The current Chang'an is just one word: chaos! There is chaos outside and chaos inside. The common people in the Sanfu area on the outskirts of Chang'an camped and garrisoned, and the Red Mei Army was the enemy, vowing to snatch Liu Xuan back.
The people are not used to seeing the red eyebrows, mainly because the internal management of the Red Eyebrows army is too chaotic. The soldiers went up to Chang'an Street, as long as it was pleasing to the eye, it was all their own! When you go out, don't rob white, don't rob. What revival of the Han dynasty is all nonsense.
In fact, when the Red Eyebrow Army first rose up to make a revolution, it was still a bit ideal. He once played such a slogan: "Kill people to pay for their lives, and indemnify people for injuries", but after many years, people have changed as soon as their faces are broad, and those revolutionary slogans have long been thrown out of the clouds!
Over the years, the people of Chang'an have never encountered a benevolent and righteous army that does not steal or rob. However, one day, there was earth-shattering news on the outskirts of Chang'an: a troop came, and they didn't take a stitch from the masses!
The people rushed to preach, and in order to see the legendary righteous army with their own eyes, families brought the old and the young to the roadside to wait for them. When I came to see it, it was indeed a well-disciplined army. And the leader of this army is Deng Yu! Deng Yu probably never dreamed that he would be so popular. The road was full of revolutionary fans, and everywhere there were people shouting to join the revolutionary ranks. On average, thousands of people joined each day, and the force soon swelled to a million. Deng Yu's name shocked Kansai!
