Liu Yang is an authentic Liu clan, who has been running Zhending for generations, and has a heavy army, and is known as the "King of Zhending".

In the contest between Liu Xiu and Wang Lang, Zhending and its owner undoubtedly played a pivotal role.

Liu Xiu calmly analyzed the situation. He believes that Liu Yang must be taken, otherwise it will be useless to crusade against Wang Lang.

As for how to take down Liu Yang, he thinks that it is nothing more than three strategies: upper, middle and lower.

Of course, the next strategy is to fight to the death, and from the perspective of power comparison, it is really mysterious to win. Even if the king's army has an excellent commander and a general with both wisdom and bravery

Soldiers, who can formulate and implement superb military strategies, and even outwit them in the end, are bound to pay an extremely heavy price.

You can't take this step until you have to, but be prepared for it.

The middle strategy is to talk while fighting, but this trick seems to be a bit unqualified to use. It is said that Liu Yang has a lot of personality, and he may say, fight and fight,

What to talk about?

The best policy, of course, is to surrender and surrender Liu Yang's troops without a fight.

However, this work is too heavy and technically difficult.

Liu Yang will say, if I want to submit to you Liu Xiu, I will be obedient when you first came to Hebei. Besides, just a few people, I have 100,000 elite soldiers in my hands, I want it

Is it really submissive to you, what can you say about emotion and face? Who among us is subject to whom?

Of course I know that you Liu Xiu is excellent, but look at the bear appearance of the First Dynasty behind you!

Liu Xiu carefully analyzed the situation and Liu Yang's personality and situation, and felt that Liu Yang was not completely out of the possibility of fighting, and decided to send Liu Zhi to the Liu family

In the name of this business trip, I went to really say that Liu Yang would descend.

Let's try it first.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhima succeeded, and soon came back to resume his life:

Liu Yang admired Liu Xiu's virtue and ability very much and promised to surrender.

(The ancestor sent the plant to say Yang, Yang is down.) ）

However, Liu Zhi also brought back one and only condition for Liu Yang: Liu Xiu must marry Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengtong as his wife!

This is a very interesting condition for Liu Yang, and it is even a bit like a big pie falling from the sky: I will submit to you and give you 100,000 elite soldiers, and one

Pretty niece.

However, this condition seems to be divided into two sides, A and B, as mentioned above, and B side: I submit to you, and you must be my child (nephew and son-in-law)!

Liu Zhi also gave a detailed introduction to Guo Shengtong's family, social relations, and personal conditions.

After repeated weighing and careful thinking, Liu Xiu agreed to this condition.

Because the combination of Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong is not only an extremely important historical event, but also extremely important to many other things and other people

We should put Guo Shengtong in a grand launch.

Guo Shengtong, a native of Hongcheng (now southeast of Shijiazhuang, Hebei), has been a local family for generations.

Her father, Guo Chang, once gave his half-brother a multimillion-dollar property and was widely praised locally.

(Father Chang, let the property of the field house be millions and the half-brother, the people of the country are righteous.) ）

Guo Changguan went to the county Gongcao, married the daughter of King Zhending Gong, called "Guo Lord", and gave birth to a daughter is Guo Shengtong, and a son is named Guo Guo.

This Zhending Gong Wang is Liu Yang's father, and Liu Yang is Guo Shengtong and Guo Guo's uncle.

Guo Chang died early, and Guo Zhu lived in his mother's house with his daughter and son.

Lord Guo is polite and thrifty, has the virtue of motherhood, and her special status as the "daughter of the Wang family", so she not only maintains the long-term prosperity of the Guo family, but also takes care of the child

Sub-education learned of Shu Dali.

It can be seen that Guo Shengtong is an extraordinary girl: she has deep social relations, is from a cadre family, and is also a prince; The bloodline is eye-catching, on the body

It flows the blood of half of the former Han royal family; The tutor is good, and she herself is literate.

Of course, in this troubled era, there is also a very important point that her uncle Liu Yang, who treats her as his own, has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and no matter who her uncle beats, he will return

Whoever is submitted to it, people cannot take it lightly.

Liu Xiu agreed to marry her, obviously after complicated considerations and fierce struggles in his heart, because he already had a wife, and she was also his favorite:

Yin Lihua.

Also because, here's a domino he can't avoid:

If he wants to continue the road of dominating the world, he must establish his own troops and base in Hebei; In order to do so, Wang Lang must be defeated; Defeat the king

Lang must take down Liu Yang; If you want to take down Liu Yang, you can either marry his niece Guo Shengtong, or hit the stone with an egg, and use the ten thousand people in your hands to beat Liu Yang to be treated

Law's 100,000 elite soldiers.

Everyone knows that marrying Yin Lihua as a wife was Liu Xiu's dream when she was a teenager. He raised troops to rebel, made a marquis and worshiped the generals, and finally returned with a beauty. As often

On business trips, he often arranged for his wife Yin Lihua to return to Xinye's mother's house for a temporary stay.

It can be said that since he got married in June last year (23 AD), he and Yin Lihua have been together less and more apart, and his attachment to Yin Lihua has always been the same.

However, now, a very harsh political reality is in front of him, the very good Guo Shengtong is waiting in front, and the very strong Liu Yang is waiting to return

Words, what to do?

As soon as Liu Xiu hesitated, Liu Zhi said:

"I have already taken it upon myself to agree to this family business on your behalf."

(The plant is good at doing things.) ）

Liu Zhi believes that Liu Xiu has no choice.

Then marry.

Regarding Liu Xiu's marriage to Guo Shengtong, historians and folk have deduced a lot of stories, leaving a lot of vivid legends, but because of the importance of this matter, it is strict

Su, this article does not dare to make waves again, and it is inconvenient to introduce these stories and legends to you.

In order to write this article, I have been searching for a long time in the vast historical materials, and I want to explore the truths of Liu Xiujun's path to the world

People and things.

Only by blowing sand and seeing gold can we discover the truth behind the phenomenon!

Almost all historians agree that this family affair is a typical political marriage. There's certainly nothing wrong with that.

But is a politician's political marriage a cold math problem?

In fact, this article cannot answer this question. The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

I suggest that you pay attention to how Liu Xiu handles her relationship with Yin Lihua, Guo Shengtong, and their mother's family from now on, I believe there is an answer.

In March 24 A.D., spring returned to the earth, and everything recovered.

In the mansion located in Qili, where the Guo family has lived for generations in Zhending, the lights are lit up inside and out, and there is joy everywhere.

Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong held a grand wedding here.

This marks the official formation of an alliance between Liu Xiu and Liu Yang and Guo's two local powerful factions.

On the day of the wedding, Liu Xiu and Liu Yang held a banquet to entertain the soldiers of the Wang army. Liu Yang was extremely excited, and personally played music and sang at the banquet to express his blessings

Congratulations, cheering.

(Yang hits and builds for joy.) ）

Liu Xiu was very satisfied, he got the more than 100,000 elite soldiers he urgently needed. For him, these elite soldiers are enough to make him proud of the world!

Liu Yang is very satisfied, he found an extremely good husband for his niece, which is almost equivalent to having an extremely good son.

Of course, the reason why Liu Yang set aside the change with one hand and Wang Lang with the other, and finally picked Liu Xiu, in addition to thinking that Liu Xiu was really good, he had more

Shrewd and profound calculations:

Whether he returned to the beginning or to the king, he said that he was only a hero at best, and he would have to accompany the funeral after they finished playing

； If he becomes Liu Xiu's uncle through marriage, he will have everything Liu Xiu has in the future!
