36. The union that must be carried out

When the Green Forest Army was transferred in 3 ways, it was the time when Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers decided to quickly get out of Chungling and look for allies, and they were planning to go north to Nanyangyi

The new city soldiers and Pinglin soldiers who have led development are good partners for cooperation.

The Xinshi soldiers led by Wang Kuang and the Pinglin soldiers led by Chen Mu fought with the officers and troops several times in the south of Nanyang not far from Chungling, but they did not capture anything

It is cheap, and it is also eager to go north to Nanyang to seek new development, and the Liu clan, which has deep roots in Nanyang, is of course also a good cooperation option.

That is, both sides face a common problem:

Unite allies, grow strength, and join hands against the enemy.

That's easy to do.

At that time, the situation in the world was changing rapidly, and the relationship between friend and foe changed frequently. Everyone is divided and united, fighting and making peace, today is a friend, tomorrow is an enemy, even

It's still buddies who sit down and drink just now, and it's not a few who draw knives and slash when they turn their faces.

In order to truly realize the union of different military forces, in addition to having the right time and common interests, it is also important to have people who lead the way through the needle.

Liu Xuan sent his eldest brother Liu Jia as the representative of the Chung Ling Army, and took the initiative to go to Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and others to discuss the matter of joining forces.

Liu Jia, like Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu's brothers, is also the great-great-grandson of Liu Mai, Marquis of Chungling. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and Liu Xiu's father, Liu Qin, treats him as if he were his own.

carefully cultivated him and also sponsored him to study in Chang'an.

Therefore, he has a special family relationship with Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, and he is a good candidate.

Of course, he is kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and well-informed, and he is also up to the task.

Liu Jia's arrival was wholeheartedly welcomed by Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and others.

The two sides immediately reached an agreement to join forces in one place and jointly fight the enemy.

Facts have proved that the move of Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers to unite with the peasant rebel army was quite clever and was the best choice at that time.

However, this is also the only right choice, if the Chung Ling Army wants to continue playing.

This military alliance, let's call it the insurrectionary coalition or the coalition army, can be said to be of great significance and far-reaching influence.

It is said to be significant because it has brought some positive results.

For example, it has changed the socio-political-military balance of power.

For the coalition forces, it was evident that they had grown in strength, and after many battles, they quickly organized a force of more than 100,000 men; For the new reckless regime, yes

Cultivated and matured a formidable enemy.

At this time, Wang Mang looked at everyone like his own terminator and gravedigger.

Because of the birth of this military alliance, at least in the Nanyang area, Wang Mang will become very difficult if he wants to coax the rebel army to disperse or break it individually

Difficult.

Later, it was this coalition that buried Wang Mang and his ugly regime.

For example, this coalition army has opened up a posture to smash the old world and build a new world, attracting, training and training a large number of cadres.

Among these cadres, there are not only rare leaders like Liu Xiu, but also talents from all walks of life who have a literary and military strategy and can pass through the heavens and latitudes, and many of them are many

The fame in history is well-deserved.

It should be said that the early leaders of the Green Forest Army still had appeal, like Wang Chang and Ma Wu, who later made great contributions to Liu Xiujun's dominance in the world.

However, most of them have a low level of education and do not have high self-requirements, and people like Zhang Wei and others are still brave and ruthless people who like to kill indiscriminately and indulge.

The birth of the coalition army and the addition of brothers Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu improved the structure of the leadership group and the overall quality of the leadership group

A group of leaders with a high level of political strategy and the art of military command.

At this time, a large number of talents have gathered, and it is also a very eye-catching landscape. They are the most important social life drama of Liu Xiubian and Wang Mang

If you want to be an actor, it is necessary to introduce it to you.

Everyone knows almost the cast on Wang Mang's side, and there are still a few more to wait for them to appear.

Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu's lineup is also very strong, and when the two sides have made a few rounds of moves, and when the coalition forces have captured Thorn Yang, Li Tong and Deng Chen also led their relatives and friends to come

Help.

We have already met with the two of them, and they were the first to encourage and support Liu Xiu to raise troops, and their names are on the program list, and they will come

The role is also very heavy.

What we want to focus on is that there is a person who led the crowd to defect, which really made Liu Xiu overjoyed.

His name is Yin Zhi, and he is Yin Lihua's half-brother. Regarding him, we only had to name Yin Lihua when we introduced it earlier.

Yin Zhi's parents died in his early years, and his family background was ordinary.

He has a good character, is loyal and diligent, serves his stepmother Deng (that is, the biological mother of Yin Lihua and Yin Xing), and takes care of his sister and brother very dedicatedly.

When the Chungling Army first started up, Yin Zhi was studying in Chang'an, the capital. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately left his studies and returned to his hometown Xinye to lead his family

and more than 1,000 people with family and friends participated.

The addition of the brother and family of his dream lover is self-evident in his encouragement to Liu Xiu.

Yin Zhi was appointed lieutenant.

He was very knowledgeable, fought bravely, and made many military exploits.

He later played a special role in helping Liu Xiu conquer opponents, rule the world, and establish a family, and also showed a noble character.

also has his name on the program list, and his role is also very heavy.

At the same time, in addition to Liu Jia, Liu Xiu also has two eldest brothers in his own family who are also going to appear at this time, and they can all make the wind move.

One is named Liu Ci and the other is Liu Xuan, both of whom are the grandsons of Liu Li, who was the Taishou of Cangwu, and they are still friends of life and death. And Liu Li and Liu Xiu's grandfather Liu

Hui, they are all the grandsons of Liu Mai, Marquis of Chungling.

Everyone is optimistic, the few people just named and introduced, either now or in the future, are all relatives of Liu Xiu.

In the social life drama, although Liu Xuan and Liu Ci are not the main actors, and they do not have many scenes, they affect the drama at several critical times

The development of the plot of the play also affects the fate of the protagonist Liu Xiu.

So it's important for us to tell their stories and help you figure out where they came from.

When the brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu raised their troops, Liu Ci joined as a clansman and has been acting with the army.

And Liu Xuan defected to Chen Mu's Pinglin soldiers earlier. He joined the rebel coalition as a junior cadre of the Pinglin soldiers (Andijang).

This is not to say that Liu Xuan's consciousness is high, or that he is more reckless, but there is something else hidden.

It turned out that Liu Xuan and Liu Ci, like Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan, were all descendants of the Western Han royal family, but when they came to them, they were already commoners.

After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he comprehensively degraded the Liu clan, and most of the Liu clan was deprived of his title, and many of the clan's children seemed to have no status in society, often

Insulted.

Once, when a villager leader (pavilion chief) in Chungling was drunk, he called Liu Zizhang and played with him.

Liu Zizhang is Liu Ci's uncle and Liu Xuan's father.

It is likely that the pavilion chief's attitude was very bad, and he broke in or cursed, Liu Zizhang felt that he was insulted, and in a fit of anger, he killed the pavilion chief.

It may also be because Wang Mang usurped the Han world at that time, and this case was not seriously handled.

Many years later, in order to avenge his father, the son of the pavilion chief killed Liu Zizhang's son Liu Qian (that is, Liu Xuan's younger brother).

Liu Ci's elder brother Liu Xian, in order to avenge his cousin Liu Qian, killed the pavilion chief's son again.

This kind of retribution led to the death of many people, and finally attracted the attention of the government.

Because under normal circumstances, Wang Mang's government doesn't care much about the lives and well-being of the common people. However, many lives have been lost in social order

, which may affect the stability of the regime, the government feels that it has to be interrogated.

Liu Xian was imprisoned and executed.

Liu Ci is also a man of temperament and vows to avenge his brother.

So, together with his nephew Liu Xin (Liu Xian's son), Liu Ci sold his farmland, scattered his family property, and made friends to prepare for revenge.

Once, when the opportunity came, Liu Ci and Liu Xin took a few friends to set fire to the pavilion chief's wife and children, and then fled to other places.

Later, when the amnesty was encountered, Liu Ci and Liu Xin's uncle and nephew returned to their hometown.

In this family vendetta, Liu Xuan, as the main party to the rights, behaved very well-behaved.

He was cowardly and timid by nature, but the incident was caused by his father, and his younger brother was killed, and even his cousins were so righteous that he couldn't pretend to be a fool.

Therefore, he also gathered a few friends and wanted to avenge his younger brother.

One day, Liu Xuan invited a friend to a banquet and invited the local sheriff (You Bi) to the banquet, which was obviously also related to the vendetta murder case.

However, the banquet was smashed, and everyone drank and drank the story.

At the banquet, one of Liu Xuan's friends played a drunkard and annoyed the sheriff with the strength of the wine!

This friend drank too much and was dishonest, and shouted wildly:

"Hot boiling and stir-frying, the two captains come late, and they are used to adjust the taste."

Such words and deeds are somewhat funny.

You can see it as an insult, or you can see it as a pure drunken talk, the key depends on how the person concerned understands it.

However, the sheriff believed that it was intended to insult him.

Such a public insult could not be tolerated by the sheriff. He just wanted to exert his power, but he was tied up again and beaten (tied up and beaten hundreds).

Isn't this a tiger swatting flies on the head?!

Anyway, at this time, the world is a little chaotic, and the government does not pay attention to rules and regulations. The sheriff himself was beaten and insulted, and he wanted to punish people, both in public and private

It still doesn't take much effort.

Liu Xuan saw that something was wrong and was afraid of accidents, so he simply ran away and ran to Pinglin to hide.

Since this case had already attracted the attention of the government, the local officials saw that Liu Xuan had run away, so they arrested Liu Zizhang and put him in prison.

Liu Xuan heard that his father had been arrested in Pinglin, and he was very scared and distressed. He felt that the government might not let this matter be settled, and if he was wanted, he would

It is also very hard to make an endless life of escape.

So, he had a plan: to cheat death. He let out a rumor that he was sick and dead.

In order to perform this fake play well, he also made a coffin and let people transport it back to his hometown for burial.

(Bringing people back to the tomb with mourning)

The magistrate thought that Liu Xuan was really dead, so he released Liu Zizhang.

After all, Liu Xuan, who cheated to death, was false-minded, he didn't dare to go home, so he had to hide in Tibet and wander around.

Later, he heard that Chen Mu, a native of Pinglin, had raised a counter-flag, so he came to defect.

He felt that this was the only way to end his life on the run.

Chen Mu saw that he was from the Liu clan and thought that he might still be of some use to the rebellion, so he took him in and gave him one in the ranks of the Pinglin soldiers

Petty officials do: Anji Peng.

Therefore, Liu Ci and Liu Xuan are not only cousins, but also have friends of life and death, so the relationship is naturally very iron.

We say that the birth of the insurrectionary coalition had a far-reaching impact, not only because it was significant and had many positive results, but also because it was produced at the same time

A complex and vast system of interests, thus rewriting history.

This complex and huge interest system, simply put, is composed of Liu Xiu's brothers' Chung Ling Army, Wang Kuang, Chen Mu's Xinshi, and Pinglin Bing

A community of interests has been formed on the basis of common interests, and its basic characteristics are:

Common goals, different pursuits.

The common goal of the two sides is to eliminate the new reckless regime, and the different pursuits are somewhat interesting.

The elimination of the Xinmang regime by the sons of Chung Ling was to revive the Han dynasty.

Wang Mang usurped the Han and belittled the Liu clan, making the Liu clan live a very hard and faceless life.

The soldiers of Xinshi and Pinglin, like the common people, thought that the purpose of eliminating the Xinmang regime was to survive and live with dignity.

Because of the ironclad facts in front of us, with Wang Mang as the first brother, everyone can neither eat nor be oppressed, and there is really no way to live anymore.

Everyone's opinion on the destruction of Wang Mang is absolutely unanimous, does this need to be said?

And in the process of destroying him, and what will happen to everyone's respective interests after destroying him, is another story.

That is to say, on the big stage of social life, watching Wang Mang's clumsy and stubborn performance hurt everyone very much, and the brothers wanted to go to it

Tai kicked him down.

And after kicking Wang Mang away, how the brothers will perform has to be discussed separately.

Interests, this terrible interests.

I like history, I like to talk to the ancients, and I like to savor the people, events and cultural elements that have survived through time

When you are alone, letting the smoke of history drift through your mind quickly or slowly, it is really an unparalleled learning enjoyment.

However, history also often confuses me:

Why do good people don't live long, bad people live for a hundred years, gentlemen are often stranded, and villains often have green lights?

Why do different people have different, or even completely opposite, views on the same historical figure, phenomenon, or point of view?

Why can't we avoid the recurrence of strikingly similar tragedies in history, and let the strikingly similar good people and comedies stay with us forever?

…………

I haven't fully figured out these questions yet, but I've learned one thing:

The history of mankind is actually the history of human interests, and how to look at interests, pursue interests, and arrange interests determines you for specific individuals

Your position in history also determines your views on other historical issues; For a specific regime, it determines the extent to which it can win over the people

and, ultimately, how far it can go.

Well, just when we introduced the plot and the main actors, the urging gongs and drums of the social life drama had been beaten N times, and the audience had already been waiting

Be impatient.

Let's get started!
