In the face of the emergency situation in which Liu Yong and Zhang Bu were rampant, Fu Long was killed, and Gai Yan was unable to control the situation, Liu Xiu quickly made new arrangements:

The first is to remove Deng Yu from the post of Situ, Fu Zhan took over, and at the same time named the Marquis of Zhanyang; The second is to adjust the military deployment on the Eastern Front and arrange a luxurious lineup

Sima Wu Han took command and led the Jianwei general Geng Yi, the hussar general Du Mao, and the crossbow general Chen Jun to go out to attack, and Gai Yan cooperated.

The problem of Liu Yong and others on the Eastern Front has reached the point where it must be completely solved!

Since Gaiyan did not pursue Liu Yong with victory, Liu Yong's group won a precious respite.

In February 27 AD, Liu Yong sent an envoy to make Zhang Bu the king of Qi at the same time, and another separatist Dong Xian as the king of Haixi (according to Tancheng, in the southeast of present-day Shandong

The purpose is, of course, to shake up the spirits, hug together, and fight Liu Xiu again.

In the face of Liu Xiu's strong political and military pressure, Liu Yong had a headache.

After months of introspection and deep thought, this time, he also changed his strategy: Since Liu Xiu sent a luxurious lineup led by Da Sima Wu Han, I

can't make do, form an alliance with Zhang Bu and Dong Xian, and take over together.

The war on the Eastern Front expanded!

Originally, Shi Shi and Liu Xiu both gave Gai Yan the opportunity and stage to fully perform, but he could only sing martial arts, and he didn't sing well in literary opera, so he couldn't grasp it well

It's a pity that this is the time to express yourself and make contributions.

As the saying goes, times make heroes. Now, the current situation wants to create Lao Gai, but Lao Gai does not react, and the current situation has to create others.

Then look at Wu Han's, he is also everyone's acquaintance.

Wu Han is a good general. Although he has such and such obvious shortcomings, he is still recognized as a good general by historians.

In other words, in the military industry, he has achieved the ultimate and reached a peak that ordinary soldiers have not reached.

It must be explained here that Wu Han is a very complex person, and historians' evaluations of him are also very different.

The reason is very simple, he has too many imprints of the times, and his ideology, way of doing things and what he does have obvious duality

Sex.

For example, he is loyal to Liu Xiu and loyal to his duties, but sometimes he does not carry out orders and makes assertions; He was very strict in self-discipline and strict military discipline many times

Ming, but sometimes he connived at his subordinates to burn and loot; He coveted fame and competitiveness, but sometimes he strictly restrained himself and his relatives and distributed his own fields

property, and even on his deathbed, he begged Liu Xiu not to forgive his possible sins; Some historians say that he is "resolute and wooden", while others say that he has no mouth

talented, but virtuous.

In short, this is a figure of mixed opinion, those who dislike him say that he is a "fierce general who slaughters cities" and "greedy for merit and kills", while those who support him say that he is wise

Brave and honest, he is a "good general of the founding of the country".

However, we must also explain that Liu Xiu is very supportive of him.

The reason why Liu Xiu is supporting Wu Han will be analyzed in the future when we are a little free, and at that time we will also carefully analyze and summarize the various trends around Liu Xiu

Force Group.

Now, I'll tell you a little bit about it:

First, Wu Han is Liu Xiu's hometown, a native of Wancheng, Nanyang, and relatives and fellow villagers are very important at all times.

Second, Wu Han is a fierce man, no, he is a typical fierce man, a fierce man among fierce men.

He was born to fight, and he had many opportunities under Liu Xiu, and his performance was very eye-catching.

A few years ago, when Liu Xiu was developing in Hebei, whenever he wanted to flatten someone, he often put forward his intentions and requirements, Deng Yu made suggestions and formulated plans, and Wu Han was negative

Responsibilities are specifically implemented.

Wu Han led thousands of elite cavalry as the vanguard, whether it was attacking the city or cutting people, there were few things he couldn't do.

In those fierce and cruel duels, in addition to directly commanding on the spot, Wu Han also likes to be the first to rush into the enemy formation, the first to enter the city, the first to cut people, and the first to provoke

The soldiers under him were all enthusiastic, scrambling, and desperate.

Third, Wu Han was highly recommended to Liu Xiu by Deng Yu, and Deng Yu was Liu Xiu's number one confidant and chief thinker.

Some historians say that he was not Liu Xiu's hair, not Liu Xiu's partner when he raised the army, and Liu Xiu was in the team when he was developing in Hebei.

In fact, looking at Liu Xiujun's subordinates on the way to the world, his real hair is only a few comrades, such as Zhu Fu, a native of Xiao County, who is lucky for him

Most of the civil and military generals who planned and traveled thousands of miles gathered under his command one after another on the road.

When Liu Xiu was in the most difficult time in Hebei, Wu Han defected to him.

At first, he didn't attract too much attention from Liu Xiu, it was Deng Yuhui's eye for people and repeated recommendations (several recommendations), so he was valued by Liu Xiu and continued

Entrusted with important tasks.

However, Wu Han is the kind of person who shines brightly when he gives a little sunshine, and every time he takes on a heavy responsibility, he will perform miraculous feats.

Of course, Liu Xiu was very satisfied with him.

Fourth, Wu Han is absolutely loyal to Liu Xiu, or a die-hard fan of Liu Xiu.

As early as when he was the county magistrate of Anle County, Hebei, he admired Liu Xiu and hoped to serve Liu Xiu.

(Han Su heard the elders of Guangwu, and he wanted to return to his heart.) ）

At that time, Liu Xiu was in the most difficult time in Hebei.

Wu Han resolutely abandoned his official position, did a lot of hard and meticulous work, went through hardships and obstacles, and took a group of friends to kill Wang Lang's military and political cadres, running hundreds of miles

attack, go to Liu Xiu.

Of course, he later gave many wonderful performances under Liu Xiu, and we have also said it.

After Liu Xiu pacified Hebei, among the earliest and most resolute henchmen and fans who persuaded him to ascend the throne was Wu Han.

Oh, yes! The dynasty has just been established, and the world is not yet peaceful, it is the time to employ people, who else can cadres like Wu Han use if they don't use them?

Speaking of which, we still have to clarify a situation, and to reiterate, Liu Xiu used troops against Liu Yong, first sending Gai Yan and then Wu Han, not against Liu

Never pay attention to it, and it is not an ineffective remedy with Lao Gai, but some time ago, Liu Xiu and Wu Han were too busy to spare their hands.

At the beginning of last year, when Liu Xiu attacked Liu Yong, he was playing combination punches against opponents from all directions.

And Wu Han, as the Minister of National Defense (Da Sima), failed to concentrate on planning the construction of national defense infrastructure, and was leading 9 generals to clean up the middle according to Liu Xiu's arrangement

Peasant armed forces and local separatist forces in the original areas.

Obviously, the Central Plains was unstable, and Liu Xiu's dynasty could not be at peace for a moment.

In the spring of 27 A.D., it was coming.

When the Great Sima Wu Han was purging the Central Plains last year, he basically fought wherever Liu Xiu pointed out, and he could settle wherever he hit.

Under the guidance of Liu Xiu, he led a luxurious lineup to gallop across the Central Plains, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in rivers, and cutting whom, basically

If you enter a no-man's land, there is no suspense about victory or defeat.

Therefore, the campaign to clear the Central Plains almost became a kind of display of his old Wu's personal demeanor, his colleagues called him "the victorious general", and the enemy was terrified.

However, Lao Wu came to the east this time, and the situation was a little different: the situation was a bit complicated, the process was a bit tortuous, and the people on both sides were a little chaotic

The contest is even more enjoyable.

In the first battle, Wu Han wanted to eat Su Mao, who was guarding Guangle.

Lao Wu's plan is considered in this way.

First, Su Mao is a famous traitor, and he can tell the world: when this group of males is competing for deer, no one will end well.

Everyone already knows about Su Mao's experience of investing in Liu Xiu from the change, and then from Liu Xiu to Liu Yong.

Originally, in troubled times, if someone's bones are a little softer and they can't withstand threats and temptations, and their character is a little higher and they want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or their character is poor

It is more common to want to play some tricks and surrender appropriately, or to revolt.

Throughout the history of our country, there has always been no shortage of people who defected or defected. However, if anyone does this regularly, they will be despised by people.

Wu Han believed that Su Mao was originally his subordinate, and his political influence on Liu Xiu's betrayal was very bad, and he also felt discouraged, so he didn't take advantage of it

The opportunity to clean him up is really unreasonable.

Right! Who doesn't flatten him first?!

Second, Su Mao is the Great Sima appointed by Liu Yong, that is, Liu Yong's supreme military leader, and it makes sense to take him first.

In Wu Han's view, just as Liu Yong could not be recognized as the emperor, Su Mao, as the so-called "Great Sima", was also a fake.

However, as the two warring parties, the position and weight of the "Great Sima" on both sides are the same.

By the way, Wu Han was crowned Marquis of Guangping by Liu Xiujia last year, while Liu Yong was named the king of Huaiyang not long ago because of Su Mao's rebellion. That is

said that Su Mao's title was higher than that of Lao Wu.

To put it simply, Wu Han's high-profile expedition, if he comes up and takes down the other party's defense minister first, whether it is political significance or military value,

It's all very big.

Third, and most importantly, judging from the actual military situation, it is almost impossible for Wu Han to attack Su Mao first.

The reason is very simple, Guangle is not far from the junction of Liu Xiu and Liu Yong's spheres of influence, and it is the first important stronghold of Liu Yong encountered by Wu Han's Eastern Expedition.

If you take it, it's easy to fight; Otherwise, let it be there, and when Lao Wu went deep into the enemy's hinterland, he always had to think about not being beaten in the back, which was very difficult

Let go of your hands and feet.

Then let's take the Guangle sacrificial knife first!

However, things did not go as smoothly as Wu Han thought.

In the face of his old leader Wu Han leading a large army to press the border, Su Mao was not timid, and took his soldiers out of the city to face the battle. Of course, he also knows the spleen of the old leader

angry, at this time, there is no clue to pretend to run away.

The old leader is especially good at chasing people and slashing, and is good at killing people in pursuit, if he can't get the upper hand in face-to-face moves, it's basically useless to escape.

Outside Guangle City, Wu Han commanded the army to slam down, and Su Mao led the defenders to resist desperately.

In Wu Han, winning Guangle is a must-win; In Sumao, if you lose in the hands of the old leader, it will definitely be a dead end.

After several rounds of fierce battles, Lao Wu continued to make fierce moves, which was exactly what he felt when he stepped on the Central Plains last year.

Gradually, Su Mao couldn't resist and retreated to Guangle City.

(He fought several times with the Yong general Su Mao, and Mao was defeated and entered the city.) ）

Lao Wu has always been able to be ruthless against the enemy, and he did not relax, urging his subordinates to quickly complete the encirclement of Guangle.

He supervised the people to build a ladder around the city of Guangle, and attacked it in turn, and it was about to break the city.

At this time, Liu Yong, who was hiding in Huling, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly arranged for the general Zhou Jian to rescue Su Mao.

If Su Mao finishes playing, it will be cold lips and teeth, no! It will be a fire at the city gate, and it will affect the fish in the pond, and no! Wu Han's sharp knife stabbed straight over!

Hurry up and rescue Su Mao!

Zhou Jian quickly gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and rushed to Guangle like fighting fires.

Kill!

At this time, Wu Han underestimated the enemy.

Lao Wu has a heavy army in his hands, and he looks at this business trip very easily, because the opponent really doesn't look like an opponent: Liu Yong is just a nameless junior, nothing more than Liu

family ancestry; Su Mao was his former subordinate; Zhou Jianzhi and his ilk had never heard of it.

Lao Wu was very contemptuous of Liu Yong and his men.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, this law often has examples, and at present, Wu Han is not exempt from vulgarity.

When Zhou Jian led an army of 100,000 to rescue Su Mao, in order to prevent Zhou and Su from gathering together, Wu Han sent a light cavalry to meet him.

At the same time, in accordance with his usual style, Lao Wu personally led the team, took the lead, and rushed in front of his comrades. He seemed to want to slap Zhou Jian personally

Push it aside and cool off!

However, unfortunately, Zhou Jian has too many people and horses, and he is not so easy to fight.

After a fierce battle, Lao Wu's elite light cavalry did not gain the upper hand.

No, Lao Wu didn't have the upper hand, but quickly got the upper hand.

Although his light cavalry was extremely brave, it could not hold up the opponent's large number of people.

Although Lao Wu's soldiers numbered tens of thousands, they did not have enough manpower to surround Guangle City.

And the light cavalry that he could pull out to intercept Zhou Jian was only a few thousand at best.

And Zhou Jian came all the way with more than 100,000 troops, obviously taking advantage of the numbers.

You can imagine the actual situation on the battlefield at that time:

If Zhou Jian's more than 100,000 horses were waiting there in formation, Lao Wu's thousands of light horsemen would rush into battle, that is, to fight with movement and with his ferocity

Brave, you can cut a hole anywhere.

And when both sides are in motion, the situation is completely different.

More than 100,000 people moving in the same direction has a great impact in itself, or rather, it is almost a torrent.

And Lao Wu's light cavalry had to cut down dozens of people on each side in order to contain this torrent.

Of course, Lao Wu must always be on guard against Su Mao rushing out of Guangle City.

In this way, after a fierce battle, Wu Han was gradually outnumbered, and his light cavalry could not stop this torrent from pouring into Guangle City.

Seeing this situation, Lao Wu was angry again, and called his subordinates to resist the enemy desperately, and he slapped his horse forward and killed the enemy again.

Suddenly, a cold arrow flew from there, hitting the horse's head under his crotch. The horse jumped in pain and tossed him to the ground.

The left and right relatives hurriedly rushed forward and desperately rescued him before protecting him back to the camp.

The commander was wounded, and the generals had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Zhou Jian led the crowd to rush into the city and meet Su Mao.

Wu Han's fall from the horse was a bit accidental, and it was also a bit accidental.

But there was no way, he fell very hard, and when he returned to the camp, he lay down and couldn't move.

It was this accidental and unexpected fall that almost changed the tide of the battle.

There is no way, the era of cold weapons is originally an era of individual heroism.

Whether it is a hero or a bear, there are many examples of things that happen or bad things because of fate.

Lao Wu was very frustrated and anxious.

In the evening of the same day, his knee injury did not improve, and the pain caused him to inevitably snort twice.

His injury directly affected everyone's fighting spirit.

At this time, the hussar general Du Mao and others came to report truthfully, saying that the enemy was at present, and because Minister Wu (Minister of Defense) was injured, the brothers were all in their hearts

I'm scared, it's a question of how to fight the next battle.

(The enemy is in front of him, and the public is wounded, and the hearts of the people are afraid.) ）

It can be seen from this that although Wu Han's army was very strong in combat, it largely came from his own strict management of the army and his vanguard and exemplary role.

As soon as he heard that the army's heart was shaken, Wu Han didn't care about the pain, and immediately sat up, wrapped up his wounds and walked out of the camp tent, and arranged for his subordinates to slaughter cattle and serve wine, and reward the soldiers.

At this feast of eating meat and drinking wine, Lao Wu delivered an important speech, which was actually a pre-war mobilization for a new round of fighting.

Almost all historians who paid attention to Wu and Han recorded this scene in some detail.

If a military reporter is present, he or she can report like this:

On the fields outside Guangle City, the spring breeze blows, and there is a slight warmth in the cold.

The barracks were brightly lit inside and outside, and Mr. Wu Han, Minister of Defense of the Liu Xiuhan Dynasty, was holding a grand swearing-in banquet.

At the main banquet where senior generals and key commanders were present, Minister Wu attended with a knee injury, which greatly boosted everyone's morale.

After the relevant generals arranged some specific work, Minister Wu Han delivered an important speech.

Minister Wu said:

"Although there are many enemies, they are all a rabble of gangsters and robbers. When they win, they compete for power and profit, and if they lose, they will protect each other

If you don't help each other, you don't talk about integrity and loyalty. Now, the emperor sent us to the east, and it is the time for us to make meritorious contributions and pay homage to the generals. The essential

The time has come, let us fight together to fight for victory! ”

Minister Wu's remarks were concise, impassioned, and heroic, and received a warm response from the vast number of officers and men.

Everyone was in high spirits, gearing up, and said that they would follow Minister Wu to cut down more enemies.

(So the sergeant was enraged, and the man was furious.) ）

Over there, on the city wall of Guangle, Su Mao and Zhou Jian, who were in one place, did not dare to slack off at all, and always observed Wu Han's actions.

Under the cover of night, a new bloody battle was brewing nervously.

Besides, Su Mao and Zhou Jian, after joining forces in the city, while strengthening the city defense, made the same mistake that Wu Han made at the beginning: underestimate the enemy.

Although Su Mao was a subordinate of Wu Han in the past, he had been busy surrendering, and was directly led by Zhu Kun and Gai Yan, and Liu Xiu was the same as Lao Wu

The style of generals is not the only one, so I did not have the opportunity to understand his strength, nor did I seriously study his strategic and tactical ideas.

Zhou Jian has not yet made a move with Wu Han.

The two believed that Wu Han was not a fierce man as people legend, and he had the advantage of troops and a solid city defense, and he could be bullied or even bullied

to destroy him.

Based on the situation at that time and later, we can know that Su Mao, Zhou Jian and Wu Han are not heavyweights at all.

These two guys naively thought they had 100,000 troops at their disposal.

In fact, the composition of this so-called army of 100,000 is very unreliable: this is a team that was temporarily put together for the emergency rescue of Guangle, and it is strong

The suspicion of the fierce "rabble".

Over there, the Wu and Han armies pressed the border, and even surrounded Guangle, according to Liu Yong's order, Zhou Jiancai collected some stragglers and groups of hungry people,

Assemble this team.

Of course, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so Zhou Jian has no time to arrange and train this team at least.

In short, this is a very amateur team, which can be called a "rabble".

In general, the "rabble" tends to have the following characteristics:

First, there are numbers, and since everyone is organized in a very unrefined way, they can get a lot of people.

The second is that there is no quality, everyone often comes together for some kind of realistic or even vulgar purpose, and no one pays much attention to the goal of struggle, ism,

Faithfulness, so people do not pay attention to things, and even despise the world.

The third is to have a group of courage, relying on the large number of people, and like to rush up when encountering anything, and fight on the head, knock down whoever you can, and scare whoever you can.

Fourth, there is no lonely courage, and when it comes to the critical time, no one is willing to stand up and take the lead in taking the lead and taking responsibility.

Su Mao and Zhou Jian's mistake was not to lead such a group of rabble, but to the fact that they did not understand the above characteristics of the rabble at all, on the contrary

thinks that the 100,000 or so buddies under his command are a usable force.

The next morning, just after dawn, Zhou Jian commanded his rabble to open the city gates, hoping to use the numerical advantage to launch a counter-encirclement of Wu Han's Han army.

Su Mao sat in the city.

(On the day, Jian and Mao sent troops to besiege Han.) ）

This angered Lao Wu's subordinates!

Fuck, that's ridiculous!

That's bullying!

Flatten them!

…………。

Wu Han was confident, and immediately ordered the team to stabilize their positions and quickly organize the most elite soldiers in their hands to break the enemy.

Lao Wu still insists that in this era of heroism, the real battle never depends on the number of people.

His most elite force is about 3,000 people, mainly composed of 3 parts: 4 elite soldiers, yellow turban special forces, and Wuhuan commando.

This is a special forces unit with extremely high combat effectiveness.

Wu Han personally mobilized before the battle.

He wore armor, a prancing horse and a halberd, and directly arranged tasks and tactics.

Immediately afterwards, he announced the discipline of this team, which is very simple and practical, just two:

One is to advance when you hear the drums, and the other is to retreat and cut down.

(Hearing the sound of thunder and drums, they all shouted and marched, and those who came later were killed.) ）

Taking advantage of the faint light of the morning, the rabble under the command of Zhou Jian pressed over.

Wu Han saw that the enemy was approaching, and suddenly beat the drum himself, ordering his special forces to attack!

To the sound of agitated snare drums, the soldiers of the special forces rushed out like a whirlwind and desperately fought into the enemy formation.

Everyone is already in high spirits!

Everyone has long been passionate!

The rabble was stunned all of a sudden, and some of them became headless ghosts before they could react.

The special forces of the Han army are like entering a no-man's land, flattening the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.

As soon as they saw something more violent, the rabble quickly dispersed.

Run!

The rabble turned around and ran back, and the special forces could not let go and chase after them.

Chasing people and fighting is Wu Han's forte.

The rabble here is holding their heads and scurrying, eager to step into the city gate. The special forces have faster legs and feet, and they are eager to rush into the city in half a step.

The guards at the city gate didn't expect the people who had just gone out to come back quickly, and they didn't have time to close the gate at all.

In this way, the two armies of men and horses who fled and pursued almost rushed to the city gate.

Of course, it was also into the city, and at this time, the rabble was fleeing for their lives, while the special forces were slashing people and annoying, and they wanted to destroy Su Mao's lair.

Seeing that Wu Han was too fierce, Su Mao's only reaction was: Run!

So, he and Zhou Jian left Guangle City and the vast rabble, and rushed to Huling as if they were dead.

(The army was defeated, and it returned to the city.) Han Chang drove the pursuit, fought for the door and merged, and broke it. Mao, Jiantu walked. ）

Wu Han immediately took control of Guangle City.

Almost at the same time as the Wu and Han wars Guangle, Suiyang, which had just been taken by Gai Yan more than half a year ago, had a change: the local people rose up to rebel and welcome Liu Yong.

(Suiyang people are anti-city and welcome Yong.) ）

With the welcome and help of the people of Suiyang, Liu Yong returned to his "capital".

This Suiyang accident shows that Liu Xiu has not been recognized and accepted by the local people.

Gai Yan's Eastern Expedition had just achieved a preliminary victory, and he was busy with sacrificial activities in the hometown of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty in Pei, Chu, Linhuai, and other counties, to curry favor with Liu

A lot of work to stabilize people's hearts, restore people's livelihood, and stabilize society has not been done, at least not enough.

As Liu Xiu's ordinary fan and apprentice, Lao Gai is not the most worthy of Liu Xiu's true biography. He only knows how to conquer the city, but he doesn't know that the city of people's hearts is not only the most

It's hard to attack, and it's the hardest to defend.

Now, seeing that Liu Yong had returned to Suiyang, Lao Gai panicked, and immediately gathered his team and surrounded Suiyang again.

Besides, Wu Han couldn't heal and rest after taking Guangle City, leaving the hussar general Du Mao and the crossbow general Chen Jun to defend it, and he immediately led it

The large army pursued Su Mao and Zhou Jian.

Seeing that Su, Zhou, and Liu Yong rushed into Suiyang together, he immediately led his troops to join Gai Yan and surrounded Suiyang.

The soldiers are fast, and the poor will chase.

This is Lao Wu's style.

In Suiyang City, Liu Yong, Su Mao, Zhou Jian and other "monarchs and ministers" had no choice but one way to go: to stay in the lonely city of Suiyang.

Outside Suiyang City, Wu Han steadily set up camp and deployed iron bucket tactics to besiege this lonely city.

During the study work, Minister Wu fully affirmed General Gaiyan's method of attacking Suiyang more than half a year ago, that is, to besiege and besiege it.

Of course, Minister Wu has also improved and innovated this tactic, and he has only grasped two key links and applied this tactic to perfection.

The first is to encircle, to surround strictly, and to fight urgently.

Minister Wu arranged for the troops to completely surround Suiyang City, and every day they had to beat and knock on the city wall (day and night), putting great pressure on the people in the city.

The second is sleepiness, to be very sleepy and hungry.

Minister Wu arranged for the troops to harvest all the crops and edible weeds around Suiyang City (harvest its wild grain). Of course, who wants to run into Suiyang

The city gave Liu Yong food and drink, which was not allowed at all.

In this way, Suiyang's supplies were not very abundant, and it became even more nervous after a few tosses and turns by Gaiyan and Liu Yong.

In front of him, the remnants of Su Mao and Zhou Jian's defeated soldiers hid in again, and the supply of grain and grass became even more tight.

According to historical data, Minister Wu did not besiege the city for a long time, and Liu Yong's people "all had dishes for the soldiers".

However, Minister Wu is not in a hurry at all, what he has is supplies and time.

In response to the anxiety and panic of the enemies in the city, he ordered: Let's surround it like this first!

In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for more than 3 months, and the food in Suiyang City was exhausted (the city was exhausted).

Liu Yong was very embarrassed, and there was really no way but to resort to his usual move: run!

Wu Han had long expected that the enemy would have this day, adjusted his tactics, and decided to destroy the enemy in the movement.

He loosened the pocket of the siege a little.

Liu Yong seized the opportunity, left his younger brother Liu to defend the city, and escaped with Su Mao and Zhou Jian, and ran all the way to Yudi (now Bozhou, Anhui).

Northeast).

Of course, Minister Wu would not let go, and immediately arranged for Gai Yan and other generals to pursue (the generals were in a hurry).

Liu Yong was so embarrassed that he hurriedly dropped his baggage and continued to run for his life. Lao Gai put away his baggage and continued to chase after him.

When it was about to be drunk, Su Mao and Zhou Jian had already run away. The frightened Liu Yong almost became a loner, and only his subordinate Qingwu followed.

Everyone should note that the reason why Qingwu is still following at this time is not because he is loyal to Liu Yongtai, but because he has not found a better way to escape.

However, Keigo's method has finally come.

Qingwu is not too famous, and the only trace left in history is to accompany Liu Yong to escape for his life this time. At the same time, he also became a result

For the history of a very alternative escort.

Running with the main runner and running to death is definitely a black landscape in the history of our country.

Come on! It was a desperate escape.

Tired to death, starving to death, with no clue in front of you, and the chasing soldiers behind you, it is indeed easy to despair.

If you think about it carefully, Liu Yong is not as blessed as Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was often in a desperate situation when he was developing in Hebei, and the apprentices and fans around him still followed him; Liu Yong came to flatter and fly camp when he was safe

The dogs are as numerous as rain, and like clouds, and when the great calamity comes, they are immediately scattered.

Now, Keigo is not a bird or beast, he wants to be a hunter.

Keigo followed, becoming more and more desperate, more and more bored, and more and more eager to be a hunter.

Running and running, Qingwu took advantage of Liu Yong's unpreparedness and cut off his head with a knife. Liu Yong was caught off guard, and he didn't know what was going on with this knife when he died.

Immediately, Keigo turned his horse's head and took Liu Yong's head to beg for surrender to Gai Yan's men who were chasing closely.

That's a good thing!

Lao Gai immediately arranged for someone to accompany Qingwu to Luoyang, report to Liu Xiu, and ask for credit.

In order to encourage the enemy to rebel against the water, after going through a series of procedures, Liu Xiu canonized Qingwu as a liege.

(The generals are in a hurry, and they will always behead Qingwu and surrender forever, and make me a liehou.) ）

Liu Yong hung up like this, but his farce of claiming the emperor did not come to an end, some of the actors were still performing energetically, and the audience had not yet dispersed.

When we talk about this, some comrades may see something to some extent, for example: Minister Wu Han's performance is a little abnormal, and his actions are a little restrained.

Right!

According to the common style, Minister Wu is fast, fierce, and scheming.

That is, as we said earlier, whether it is the person who annoys him or supports him, he still has more concentrated opinions on his basic action style, that is

: Fast, ruthless, yin.

However, since the Eastern Crusade against Liu Yong, although everyone looks back, Lao Wu's basic action style is not too obvious, and the above three characteristics are not prominent.

In other words, Minister Wu's crusade against Liu Yong was a bit of a drag, although his personal performance and some of the battles were remarkable, but, on the whole

, the movements still seem procrastinated, incoherent, hesitant, timid.

In this way, although Liu Yong and his allies were always hit hard, they only had a chance to catch their breath, so that it was not long before Liu Xiu personally stepped forward to take the east

The situation is settled.

Why? Why can't Minister Wu's actions be released?

Answer: For Liu Xiu.

The area of Pei, Chu and Linhuai, including Guangle and Suiyang, is the hometown of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, and has been regarded as the "imperial hometown" for more than 100 years.

It's just an "imperial township", and it can't be moved or messed around.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the people of the imperial township enjoyed many moral honors, political conveniences and tax benefits.

When you are a common person here, you can brag as the emperor's hometown, or you can pay less or no taxes. It's easy to be an official here, but it's also worth it

Be careful.

In order to show that he is the orthodoxy of the Liu Han royal family, Liu Xiu has always respected this area as the "imperial hometown".

Not long ago, when Gai Yan pacified the place, he first built the Liu Bang Temple and established a sacrificial system, instead of doing in-depth and meticulous mass ideological work and consolidating political power

Work, presumably for this reason.

Second, Liu Yong is the royal family of Liu Han.

The "royal family" is not easy to deal with, because the royal family is much more complicated than the ordinary people's family, who is closer to whom, who is with whom

The relationship is far away, it is unreliable.

Today's enemies may be tomorrow's friends, no, for some purpose, the relationship between friends and foes between the royal family can be completely instantaneous. outside

Not to mention the surname, no one can clear up the grievances and grievances of the Liu Han clan since Liu Bang.

Suffice it to say how complex the political and economic relations of the whole society are, then how complex the relations of the royal family are. Or rather, complex social politics

The governance of economic relations must always be manifested as a certain state of royal relations.

Since the relationship between the royal family is difficult to talk about to outsiders, let's take it easy!

Therefore, Minister Wu Han was ordered to clean up Liu Yong, just like rushing into a porcelain shop to catch chickens, you have to take care of the proportions of your actions, and you can't let the chickens run away, and you can't

Breaking porcelain is actually a technical job.

It's a very technical job!

Let's talk about Liu Yong's afterlife.

As soon as he hung on his side, in Suiyang City, his younger brother Liu Fang immediately led the crowd to surrender.

However, when it came to this, Minister Wu couldn't laugh at all.

Because although Liu Yong is hanging, his descendants and subordinates are still there, their hearts are not dead, and they are ready to fight to the death at any time.

Su Mao and Zhou Jian originally planned to flee to Yuxian County with Liu Yong, but when they ran and looked, Liu Yong's head was cut off.

In a panic, they immediately changed their minds and fled to Chuihui (present-day north of Mengcheng, Anhui) with Liu Yong's son, Liu Xu.

In Chuihui, Su Mao and Zhou Jian jointly supported Liu Yong's son Liu Wei as the king of Liang.

Liu Yong's rampant general Yi fled to the western defense, where he had his first career, and supported his own troops.
