The second obvious change after the bloody battle in Kunyang was that the prestige of the Changshi regime and the coalition forces had increased unprecedentedly, but the internal contradictions had intensified unprecedentedly and split

It is irreversible.

Let's explain what we said, that is, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers endured humiliation and established outstanding achievements, among them, Liu Xiu took Wancheng to find the first dynasty

In Kunyang, Liu Xiu fought hard to eliminate Wang Mang's main force, thereby increasing the popularity of the first regime and making it basically control the situation.

However, the power of the children of Chung Ling, led by these two brothers, was dealt a heavy blow.

Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, as gentlemen, were not praised for their meritorious service, while Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Zhang Wei, Zhu Kun and others, who were villains, shrank their heads when they fought

The turtle was able to engage in conspiracy but was handy, and at this time it further controlled the power of the first dynasty.

It can't be helped, this is because: the gentleman is too good and only knows how to devote himself to work, and the villain is too mean and has enough time to calculate people.

Wang Kuang, Zhang Wei and their gang felt that the Liu family brothers, especially Liu Xuan, were currently in high esteem, and if they didn't plot against him, Liu Xuan's position would be very dangerous in the future. And if Liu Zhuo becomes the emperor, it will be very difficult for us to implement behind-the-scenes control, and it will be very difficult to make any small moves openly and secretly.

Don't you see, who doesn't respect the Liu brothers? Even Wang Mang's bounty for destroying his brothers and sons is higher than ours!

His brother and son are so good, we must quickly find a way to stumble and trap him.

Especially against Liu Xuan, we must be ruthless immediately. If you take him down, Liu Xiu will be able to clean it up.

This is June 23 AD, and Liu Xiu will never forget it. Because 3 things happened in this month that completely changed his life and, of course, changed

The historical trend of China.

The first thing is the Kunyang victory we just described.

The Kunyang victory was of great practical significance not only at that time, as we said earlier, but also in the history of war in China and even in society as a whole

In the history of development, extremely brilliant chapters have been written.

In his article "Strategic Problems of China's Revolutionary War" written by a great man in December 1936, he listed seven famous names in the history of Chinese warfare

Fewer wins more, and the weak defeat the strong, among which is this Kunyang victory.

This is a good article, and anyone who is interested may wish to flip through it.

What I would like to draw your attention to here is the great man's view of history and the timing of his writing.

As an indisputable great man in contemporary China, he has no one to compare with the grandeur of looking at history and summarizing history, and he also likes to use fine arts

Brilliant poems express their own view of history.

Everyone remembers that he wrote in the spring of 1964 "Congratulations to the Bridegroom. Read History", there are a few sentences:

ape phase separation,

Only a few stones have been grinded, childhood.

The flames in the copper and iron furnace were turned over, in order to ask when to guess,

It's just a few thousand cold and heat.

See, he stood at the pinnacle of civilization and overlooked history, what kind of apes are different, stone and iron, slash and burn, "just a few thousand cold and heat".

Although there are endless romantic figures in the history of our country, few of them can catch their eye.

You may be reminded of his February 1936 book "Qinyuan Spring. Snow", at that time he was preparing to lead the Red Army to cross the Yellow River east and rush to Hebei

Anti-Japanese front.

Since the word is wonderful and unprecedented, I also copied a few sentences:

Cherish the Qin Emperor and Han Wu,

Slightly lost literary style;

Tang Dynasty and Song Zu,

Slightly less coquettish.

A generation of Tianjiao,

Genghis Khan

Only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

See, the founding emperors and kings of the above-mentioned history have made great achievements, and some of them are magnificent, and they are also in the eyes of great men

Nothing.

However, the great man appreciated Liu Xiu.

Didn't he say that Liu Xiu was the emperor with the highest education, the most skilled in employing people, and the most proficient in warfare in Chinese history.

At the same time, let's not forget that when the great man wrote the above article in December 1936, our Chinese nation was in the midst of a full-scale armed invasion by the Japanese invaders

At this critical juncture, the party, the army, and the people he led are also in the most difficult time. At this time, he put 7, including Kunyang Dajie

It is by no means a joke to sum up a well-known battle example for the vast number of soldiers and civilians to see.

Well, Liu Xiu tried his edge for the first time in Kunyang.

Although this did not make him praise and promoted, it made him famous and popular, and also made the villains behind him jealous and uncomfortable

Annoying.

The second thing that happened this month was that Liu Xiuying married Yin Lihua, the village aunt he had admired for many years.

After the Battle of Kunyang, the first emperor Liu Xuan issued an edict to the generals of the coalition army to meet in Wancheng.

The court now has a nest, and everyone comes to the meeting.

Liu Xiu also came to Wancheng.

At this time, Liu Xiu was already a celebrity, and his great victory in Kunyang spread his prestige everywhere. The high-spirited Liu Xiu immediately sent someone to Xinye to Xiang Yin Lihua

Mother Deng Shi proposed.

Deng originally knew the Liu family and appreciated Liu Xiu very much, so he agreed to his request.

Liu Xiu is 28 years old this year, if he is not married at this age, he is also an older young man, and it is time to start a family.

Everyone may still remember Liu Xiu's two life wishes in his early years: to be the director of public security in the capital and marry Yin Lihua.

(Shi Eun should be the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua)

His current position is too often, partial to the general, and he is also in the first dynasty, and the actual power is of course a lot worse than that of Zhijinwu, but he can marry Yin Li

Huawei's wife is really a dream thing.

One day, in Chengli in Wancheng, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua got married.

He got his wish. At this time, he was 28 years old and Yin Lihua was 19 years old.

We have introduced Yin Lihua earlier, as an extremely rare and near-perfect woman in history, she not only looks like a hibiscus out of the water

, and his moral cultivation is impeccable, and he has been secretly in love with Liu Xiu for a long time.

It's just that there have been too many battles and bloody fights during this period of time, and Liu Xiu has no time to think too much about personal issues.

Yin Lihua also knew for a long time that the third son of the Liu family had the ability and good character, but in troubled times, everything was undecided, and she was willing and only

Deep in the boudoir.

Just like the lotus flower in the water, no matter how much smoke and dust there is in the air on the shore, she doesn't want to cater to it or get contaminated. When she met Liu Xiu, she was also willing.

The combination of a gentleman and a perfect woman is also a beauty made in heaven.

In the eyes of our people, the marriage of men and women was originally the norm of the world, and the marriage of emperors and generals was often a political necessity in the history of our country

Countless joys and sorrows have indeed confirmed this.

However, after we understand the union of Liu and Yin, we might as well think about it further, is there necessarily no love in the emperor's marriage? The pleasure of the common people

Do they have to be happy?

Since these two heroes and beauties have just visited the church, it must be abrupt for us to ask like this.

In the future, as Liu Xiujun's path to the world advances, their marriage will gradually bloom with a bright and warm beauty of human nature, and we have time to appreciate it.

Soon after the wedding, Liu Xiu was sent out to fight again.

In order to support her husband's work, the bride Yin Lihua went back to live at the new wild mother's house and did not hear a word of complaint from her.

The third thing is that Liu Xuan was killed.

It should be said that since the establishment of the coalition in the first place, its internal contradictions have arisen, and the most prominent manifestation is the contradiction between Liu Xuan and Liu Xuan. And he

Behind the two of them is the contradiction between the children of Chungling represented by Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers, and the former generals of the Green Forest Army represented by Liu Xuan and puppets.

What we said earlier about "common goals and different pursuits" within the coalition forces is mainly about the cooperation and struggle between these two forces.

If you look at the personal conditions alone, the quality of Liu Xuan and Liu Xuan is very different, and their abilities are very different. In other words, although the two belong to the same Liu clan

, is still not more than several generations of blood relatives, and the gap between people is still very large.

However, in order to facilitate the control of the situation and better control power, the former generals of the Green Forest Army, Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Zhang Wei and others, pushed Liu Xuan to come out and resolutely pressed

Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu brothers.

Since the control of the original regime and the coalition forces is still in the hands of Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Zhang Wei and others, Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu brothers and the children of Chung Ling are temporary

and had to be at a disadvantage.

In this kind of situation where the virtuous and the foolish are misplaced, and right and wrong are not distinguished, the rough work and heavy work are all done by the Liu Xuan brothers, and the power and interests are all Wang Kuang and Liu Xuan.

I'm sorry, because you're so good, you have to do the hard work! Otherwise, we won't be able to do it.

Because you're so good, we have to keep stumbling and digging traps for you! Otherwise, we will always seem to be not as good as you.

If you are too good, you will have to pay a price, and if you are incompetent, you may not have many opportunities.

When Liu Xuan was proclaimed emperor, although he also arranged positions for Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, everyone knew that he and the tricks behind him were extremely distrustful of the two brothers of the Liu family.

Not only that, the more Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers did more work and the more prestige they had, the more worried and vigilant Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan and others became.

After winning Wancheng and Kunyang, it was precisely because the two brothers of the Liu family did a good job that the foothold and reputation of the first regime were also gained

It has also improved.

So, Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan and others felt that they had to immediately unload the mill and kill the donkey, and first wiped out Liu Xuan.

In fact, for the conspiracy and trickery of Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan and others, Liu Xiu, who is careful and rigorous, has long been aware of it.

He was keenly aware that the danger around him was rapidly growing and spreading, so he reminded his eldest brother that things were not good ("things are not good"), and he wanted everything

Be careful.

Liu Xuan just regarded Wang Kuang's muttering behind their backs as a small-bellied chicken intestine, and smiled disapprerovingly and said:

"They've always been like that!"

Liu Xuan didn't pay any attention to the brewing conspiracy at all, and there were two reasons for this:

First, he has always been upright and chivalrous, never wanting to plot against friends, never destroying people behind his back, and never considering what others would do

Plot against yourself. He is honest and outgoing, and likes to talk to his face and do things in the open.

To put it simply, he's not a man who likes and is good at intrigue.

Not liking to engage in shady tricks is of course an advantage, but it is dangerous to not see and guard against other people's cold guns and arrows.

Second, he is high-spirited, arrogant, and sharp.

You may remember that a few years ago, he laughed at his third brother Liu Xiu for being keen on farming. Now, he thinks that he is strong in martial arts, bravely crowning the three armies, and making outstanding achievements

does not take ordinary people in his eyes, including Liu Xuan and those behind him.

This should be a disadvantage, at least not an advantage.

That is to say, Liu Zhuo is good at attacking cities and villages, and likes to set up a good scene with people, sign a life and death agreement, and then cut off, and I also believe that ordinary people can't cut themselves.

As for making tricks behind his back and stumbling under his feet, he despised and was unwilling to do it.

We unfortunately found that Liu Jiu saw his own advantages very clearly and played well. However, he did not have a deep understanding of his shortcomings

This often makes him neglectful of guarding against his enemies and not good at protecting himself.

If this is a big deal in daily life, it can be fatal, and at a critical moment, it may be fatal.

This is like the "barrel principle" in management and economics.

This principle, also known as the "barrel effect" and "short board effect", was first proposed by the American management scientist Peter, which means that a barrel can be filled

How much water depends not on the longest plank, but on the shortest one.

For example, Liu Xuan, everyone on the earth knows that he wants to achieve hegemony. And whether he can get his wish or not depends entirely on how brave he is to fight, but at the same time

Depends on how many fatal flaws he has available for others to exploit.

It is very important to make use of your strengths and weaknesses, give full play to your strengths and strengths, and at the same time fully understand and skillfully avoid your own shortcomings

life issues.

This barrel theory plays a role everywhere in social life, and we will analyze it further in the context of reality later. We're too busy at this point, first

Put it aside, because the trap against Liu Jiu will soon be dug up.

For Liu Xuan not to take advantage of the great victory in Kunyang and Wancheng to quickly move his army north, but to the generals of the Wancheng Conference, Liu Xiu saw at a glance that there must be an article in it, but instead

Remind the eldest brother to pay attention to safety.

It's a pity that Liu Jiu didn't care.

At this time, the changes of Li Yi, the king of the dancing yin, did not hide from Liu Xiu's eyes.

Li Yi, as Li Tong's younger brother, once followed Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu to raise troops together, and is currently an upstart. He is not only a good person, but also a person who is not willing to be lonely

, and is very snobbish, accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder.

Now, seeing that the initial distribution of power in the first regime has become a foregone conclusion, and the Liu Xiu brothers have been squeezed out, he has long fallen to Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan, Zhu Kun and others.

often flatters them (the first noble general), and has a particularly good relationship with Zhu Kun, and often sneakily messes with him.

After Liu Xiu carefully observed and analyzed, he reminded his eldest brother: "This person can't be trusted anymore." ”

(This person cannot reply)

Liu Xuan didn't think so.

Once, Liu Xuan feasted the generals. According to the predetermined plan, Wang Kuang and Liu Xuan wanted to solve Liu Xuan on this occasion.

Because Liu Xuan is indeed too good and popular, he can't find a reason now, and he must be destroyed quickly.

I'm sorry Liu Xuan, although we are outsiders in external fighting, we are still very expert in internal fighting.

In front of everyone, Liu Xuan deliberately made a family routine with Liu Xuan, and asked Liu Xuan to untie the sword he was wearing to take a look.

In the Han Dynasty, it was customary for men to wear swords and beautiful jade, with swords like heroes and beautiful jade being compared to gentlemen. If anyone's swords and jade ornaments are eye-catching,

It shows that he is very interesting and personable.

As far as the sword is concerned, the sharpness of the blade, the chic shape, and the exquisite decoration are not only a fashion and hobby, but also an elephant of identity and status

Attack.

We have not seen the original of Liu Xuan's sword, and with his good martial arts and good fighting, it must be the top grade of the sword.

No, when he saw that Liu Xuan wanted to see his beloved things, Liu Xuan almost didn't think about it, and took down the sword for people to present.

Liu Xuan took the sword and pretended to play and appreciate it as if it was the same thing.

At this time, according to the predetermined plan, an embroidered imperial historian named Shen Tujian presented jade to Liu Xuan.

This predetermined plan for Liu Xuan's trap is like this, Liu Xuan should take the jade jue and lift it, and then the nearby warriors swarmed up and immediately beheaded Liu Xuan.

However, for some reason, Liu Xuan did not lift it after receiving Yu Jue, and the following scene was not performed according to the scheduled script.

(At the beginning, he took the Bosheng sword and regarded it, and the embroidered clothes were made with the Yujue, but he couldn't send it.) ）

As for why Liu Xuan dropped the chain at a critical time, historians have different guesses. Some say that Liu Xuan is afraid of Liu Xuan, and he has a weak heart when he comes to him; Some say Liu

Xuan said kindly, and couldn't bear to do it.

Liu Xuan believes that Liu Xuan is cowardly and incompetent, and he is afraid of himself.

Liu Xuan did not give an order, and of course the warrior did not move. After the end, Liu Xuan left in a big way.

However, I think that the people attending the banquet at that time, except for those who drank too much, or deliberately pretended to be fools, should have been able to smell the smell of gunpowder.

For example, Liu Xuan's uncle Fan Hong was also invited to the banquet, and he saw the murderous intention.

After the meeting ended, Fan Hong hurriedly said to this big nephew:

"When Xiang Yu held a banquet to meet Emperor Gaozu (referring to Liu Bang) in Hongmen, the strategist Fan Zeng raised the jade jue he was wearing to Xiang Yu at the banquet, which was a gesture

Kill Emperor Gaozu. Today, doesn't Shen Tujian's performance seem to be ill-intentioned? ”

(In the meeting of the former Hongmen, Fan Zeng raised Jue to show Xiang Yu.) Is it good to build this intention today? ）

When Liu Jiu heard this, he still didn't think so, and laughed.

When some historians analyze this period of history, they think that Liu Xuan's carelessness caused the disaster of death, which of course makes sense, but it is not necessarily true.

Because no matter how careless a person is, it is impossible to know that there is a disaster of killing without using a preservation strategy, let alone Liu Xuan.

To use an analogy, if a person knows that a deadly brick is coming and does not dodge, then he must have too much water in his head.

More often than not, people are in danger but don't know they are in danger, and that is a matter of level of awareness.

Due to his excessive self-confidence and limited level of understanding, Liu Xuan did not see that he was being greeted, and he did not see that the trap under his feet had been dug and tripped

The son has already been supported, so he is gullible to believe Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan and others, and is stubborn in the face of Liu Xiu and Fan Hong's advice.

Liu Xiu, on the other hand, is different, he sees people and things with a deep sense of fire, and in today's words, his political acumen and political insight are incomparable to ordinary people

on.

Although it is said that "disasters are mostly hidden in the subtle, and occur in people's ignorance", the "disasters" in this "subtle" have never escaped Liu Xiu's eyes

, he repeatedly reminded his eldest brother to pay attention to safety.

It's a pity that Liu Jiu is too confident and stubborn, and he thinks that no one in the coalition forces dares to attack him.

It's a pity that Liu Xiu was separated soon after his marriage and was sent north to attack the city, because the first regime had just opened, and there was a lot of rough and heavy work

Be.

At this time, Liu Xiu, in addition to repeatedly reminding his eldest brother, what else could he do?

As Liu Xiu judged, things generally developed according to the predetermined plan of Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan and others.

Wang Kuang and others are determined to plot against Liu Xuan, but they have to be flexible according to the specific situation in terms of when, where, and what method to use

Grip, as for the reason, it's easy to do.

At the last banquet, everything was designed, and the opportunity was missed due to Liu Xuan's indecision.

But it doesn't matter, as long as we are hard-hearted, it is only a matter of time before Liu Xuan is hacked, and the reason is to grab a lot of them casually. And then again, it's hard

Do you need a reason to engage in conspiracy and trickery?

There are often many reasons to plot against a person, regardless of whether you can meet people or not, especially when the so-called reasons are purely excuses, it can be said that you can pick them up

That is.

What should have come is still coming.

Liu Ji has a favorite general named Liu Ji, who is also a relative of the Liu clan and family. He is brave and brave in the three armies, can fight habitually, and often charges into battle, yes

Everyone was unstoppable and brave, and they followed Liu Xuan to make no achievements in battle, and his reputation was also very loud.

However, he and Liu Jiu have a common characteristic, that is, they are jealous and hateful, and they are straightforward.

People with this characteristic are very easy to be plotted for.

A few months ago, Liu Ji was leading his troops to fight in Luyang (now Lushan, Henan), and when he heard that Liu Xuan was called emperor at home, he was very annoyed and said bluntly:

"Originally, it was Brother Liu Xuan who mobilized everyone to rise up and fight the world, what is this new general?"

("Those who started the army to do great things, Bosheng brothers, what is the evil in the beginning of this change?") ”）

His remarks clearly expressed his stance on the contradictions within the coalition forces and his contempt for Liu Xuan and his gang.

Of course, when these words reached Liu Xuan and them, they were naturally very jealous.

In fact, this was also the true thoughts of most of the coalition soldiers at that time, but everyone didn't say it, including Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu's brothers, and Deng Chen

and others, also temporarily recognized.

Everyone can see through it, because the political ecological environment is too complex and too bad, and they don't explain it thoroughly.

This is exactly the same atmosphere as in the fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes", Liu Ji is the innocent child.

It's just that at that time, due to the creation of the First Dynasty, there was not even a nest, and there were still a lot of work for Liu Xuan and them to do, but Liu Xuan and others did not dare

, it is also inconvenient to plot against Liu Ji.

Now the situation is different, and it is time to deal with Liu Xuan immediately!

Wang Kuang, Liu Xuan, Zhu Kun and others decided to make the trap bigger, dig the trap bigger, and destroy the two Lius together.

One day, Liu Xuan issued an order in the name of the emperor appointing Liu Ji as the "general of resistance to power".

In fact, there is no such position in the list of cadre positions in the First Dynasty.

Liu Xuan's appointment focused on insulting Liu Ji. Anyway, the dynasty has just opened, and there is no rule for anything, including personnel appointments and dismissals, what do you want

Play as much as you want.

Liu Ji categorically refused to accept this appointment!

This is what Liu Xuan and the others want!

Therefore, Liu Xuan immediately led the generals and thousands of soldiers to Liu Ji's residence on the grounds of disobedience, arrested him, and ordered him to be beheaded.

Speaking of which, I don't know if you understand: a new emperor issued a document to promote a cadre, and at the same time scolded him in the title of his position.

This cadre did not appreciate it, and the new emperor immediately made a big move, personally led an army to arrest him, and wanted to kill him.

It may sound like a game, but it's true, it's a historical fact.

Although Liu Xuan and his manipulators controlled the power of the coalition forces, because their ability level was too inferior, not only did they not do the heavy work well, but they also engaged in conspiracies

The tricks are clumsy, and they make an elaborate political campaign like a child's play.

As soon as Liu Xuan saw that his love was about to be poisoned for no reason, he immediately stepped forward to argue.

Liu Xuan and others also want this effect!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Kun and Li Yi urged Liu Xuan to immediately arrest Liu Xuan together.

On the same day, Liu Xuan and Liu Ji, two rare generals, were killed at the same time.

plotting against Liu Xuan with others is Liu Xuan's most kind of adventure.

We have said earlier that the history of Liu Xuan's escape from his hometown and his fraudulent death is indeed not glamorous. In the months that he has been a brother, he has also been king

Kuang, Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei and others are under their control.

He is like a clumsy actor, who is timid, has no acting skills, and has no preparation, and is pushed onto the stage by others, so he has to stiffen his head

Leather holds. As for how to act, we must also look at the faces of the few people who pushed him on stage. He wanted to shake a few times, his limbs stiffened, he wanted to say a few words, his tongue straightened,

Nervous and sweating.

This time he engaged in a conspiracy, he finally held back his strength, and was taught by others to cut down the excellent actor Liu Xuan!

However, Liu Xuan will never have the opportunity to do such a big move in the future, and he will not even have the opportunity to perform soon: because of this ugly

The stage was demolished soon after!

The incident of Liu Xuan's assassination is a typical case of "bad money driving out good money", and it is the extremeization of the phenomenon of misalignment of the virtuous and foolish.

Through this incident, the First Dynasty openly showed that it was a regime that did not want to be good.

First of all, our political goal is to compete for power.

Although we call on everyone to rise up to overthrow Wang Mang and revive the Han family, we promise that everyone will live a good life when the time comes, sorry, that's just an excuse,

It's okay if you say it's a disguise. As long as we can grab real power and its associated benefits, we will do whatever it takes.

Let's put it bluntly, for our own sake, we not only cut our enemies, but also often cut our friends.

Secondly, the principle of our cadres is that those who follow us prosper and those who oppose us perish.

What is a good cadre? Those who are obedient are good cadres, and we don't care whether they have good or bad morals or abilities.

What the? You say that some of our senior cadres rob women in addition to things? It's not easy for everyone to come out and mix, so let's have fun.

What the? You say Liu Jiu is a good cadre? Shut up.

Of course, Liu Xuan is not without merits, he is an old comrade who revolted earlier, and it was he who created the great alliance of the children of Chungling and the three Green Forest Army

Together, we have today's situation. It is true that he has a good heart, strong ability, and great credit.

However, he has a good heart and eyes, and makes us look like villains; He is so capable that we look incompetent; He has so much credit that it has made us all so

Like a dry eater.

However, if he continues like this, everyone in the world will think that he Liu Xuan should be a brother!

You say, if you don't hack him again, will you be able to do it?

Besides, Liu Xiu and they are attacking the city and fighting the enemy in front, which is too dangerous for us to dare to go; That's too much work for us to take!

We're in a hurry when we're idle in the rear!

Finally, you ask us what policies and measures we have to seize the world and govern the world?

I'm sorry, we just thought about conspiracies and plots against Liu Xuan for a while, but we haven't had time to think about it.

At the same time, this question is too professional to let the business person answer it later.

After Liu Xuan was killed, Liu Xuan immediately appointed his cousin Liu Ci as the Great Situ to fill the vacancy of Liu Xuan.

At this time, Liu Xiu had just bid farewell to his newlywed wife Yin Lihua, and took advantage of the aftermath of Kunyang's victory to be ordered to go north to attack Yingchuan.
