As for this Hebei region, the strategic significance is extremely important.

for the south is still a wild land; The northwest is too remote; The Central Plains is both a granary and a political center, and it is not easy to change the territory of power; And Hebei

The region is also a granary, the people are fierce, it is still a good source of soldiers, and more importantly, from a geographical and military point of view, whoever owns it can be condescending

peep into and control the Central Plains and the eastern region.

At present, the situation in Hebei is extremely complicated, and there are three types of forces stirring up there:

First, the peasant rebel armed forces represented by Tongma, Datong, You Lai, etc., originally beat Wang Mang with red eyes, but now they have no target to fight, and they don't know

Whoever can be the first brother in the next step will turn around and cut the land to protect himself. They are full of energy and have nowhere to go, and they always want to fight with whom;

Second, some local officials of the former Wang Mang regime did not know where to go, some of them closed the office door and fled, and some tried every means to reconnect

They are very incompetent in developing production and arranging people's livelihood, while they are very good at eating the people and destroying public order;

The third is that the Liu clan, who came locally or from other places, took advantage of the social mentality of the people and the Han people, and formed alliances with various forces, intending to claim the title of king and emperor. These people are fish dragons

Mixed, but very appealing.

In short, everyone is very busy, today you call me brothers, tomorrow you turn your face and beat me again, and there are people next to you who take the opportunity to come up and insert a lever.

Almost everywhere there is a city head, or even a walled wall, the king flag will constantly change.

In the two questions mentioned in the folk song just now, Liu Xuan and other high-level officials may have been a little emotional when they saw that Fan Chonglai had surrendered, but they didn't see each other when they left

How abnormal it was, I thought that the problem of the Red Eyebrow Army was temporarily solved.

So, in this case, how to control Hebei was put on the agenda.

The core of the Genshi Dynasty believed that envoys should be appointed to open up and defend the Hebei region.

Objectively speaking, this perception is correct.

However, a business trip to Hebei is obviously a heavy job, and it is many times more difficult than going to an ordinary county to recover and restore the grassroots power.

This messenger must not only be loyal to the change, but also be wise and brave, and really capable of doing something.

When researching specific candidates, the core team was unable to decide on it because of differences of opinion. In the end, the opinions focused on whether to send Liu Xiu on this business trip.

In the past few months, Liu Xiu's life has been really difficult.

Although he won a great victory in Kunyang and even played a role in eliminating Xinmang, he never got rid of the effect of the "bad money" wanting to expel him. Especially Big Brother

Since Liu Jiu's murder, he has basically been in a state of suspicion and surveillance, and he has to constantly do heavy and dirty work.

It is all thanks to his extraordinary strategy and means that he has come to this day.

Liu Xiu's heart is like a mirror, in the First Dynasty, he will never be able to give full play to his wisdom, he will never be able to come out, and he will never be able to achieve it

The life ideal of himself and his eldest brother to "restore the Han Dynasty".

Therefore, he is always looking for an opportunity to take the flag from Liu Xuan and leave.

Liu Ci, the great Situ of the First Dynasty, has always admired Liu Xiu, and resolutely advocated and recommended Liu Xiu to go to Hebei on a business trip.

Liu Ci is a familiar face, as Liu Xuan's cousin, he has a life and death relationship with Liu Xuan, and he has a lot of weight in front of Liu Xuan and the core level of the beginning. while

When Liu Xuan became a puppet, Liu Ci was never willing to let the Liu clan always be angry, and always wanted to create some opportunities for his grandfather and brothers.

This time, he wanted to arrange an envoy to Hebei, and he insisted: "Among the disciples of the Nanyang clan, only Uncle Wen (Liu Xiuzi) can take on this important task." ”

(Zhujiazi is unique to Uncle Wen available.) ）

However, Da Sima, Zhu Kun and others resolutely opposed sending Liu Xiu out.

A few months ago, when the "bad money" dug up the pit to harm Liu Xuan, Zhu Kun, like Li Yi, was both the initiator and the main digger, and he was the most dominant

Moving, the most resolute, the hardest. Therefore, he was afraid of Liu Xiu's revenge, and he was always particularly vigilant against Liu Xiu, and always paid attention not to give him the opportunity to be alone.

At the same time, he is also very aware of Liu Xiu's energy, lest Liu Xiu's independent development will be difficult to control in the future.

Isn't that great now?!

Put Liu Xiu under his nose and refrigerate it, hang it up, let him do the heavy work, and refrigerate it when he is done, he doesn't sing, right?

Treat Liu Xiu as a tablecloth, use it vigorously when it should be used, throw it aside when it is used up, and step on it again, he has no temper, right?

In this way, we are all safe and assured.

Over there, Liu Ci repeatedly proposed to send Liu Xiu to Hebei, and he really wanted to create some opportunities for this cousin; Here, Zhu Kun and others are resolutely opposed, they are really

Worried that Liu Xiu would stand alone and be difficult to control.

At this time, everyone knows that Liu Xiu is a person who shines when he gives a little sunshine.

Liu Xuan is a wise and decisive person, so he is caught in the middle, swaying from side to side, wandering.

At the beginning, Liu Xuan did not insist on killing Liu Xuan, a brother of his own family. What's more, in the face of the arrogant Liu Xuan, he doesn't have the courage at all

Measure. It was Wang Kuang, Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei, Li Yi and others who manipulated behind their backs, and he worked with them to hack Liu Xuan.

In that incident, Wang Kuang, Zhu Kun, Zhang Wei, Li Yi and others were the direct culprits, and Liu Xuan believed that he was responsible for leadership.

After that incident, Liu Xuan was very conflicted about Liu Xiu's mentality: he felt guilty and wanted to use Liu Xiu's strengths, but he was afraid that Liu Xiu would make it rain if he got the wind, which would be difficult to control.

Under the circumstance of swaying from side to side and repeatedly hesitating, Liu Xuan wanted to make up his mind to hand over this job to Liu Xiu several times, but was opposed by Zhu Kun and others.

(At the beginning, if you want to send Guangwu to Hebei, all the generals think that it is impossible.) ）

At this time, Prime Minister Cao Jing and Shangshu Cao Xu and his son resolutely supported Liu Xiu's trip and played a key role.

Liu Xiu accepted Feng Yi's suggestion and always paid attention to establishing and maintaining a close relationship with the Cao father and son, and finally played a key role at this critical time.

As we said earlier, the Cao family and his son are deeply trusted by Liu Xuan, and they have a good relationship with Wang Kuang and Zhu Kun, and they are very powerful in the Genshi Dynasty and are very good at doing things

son, has always helped Liu Xiu speak everywhere.

Right now, when Bian Xiu and Ting Xiu were at a stalemate, the two of them exerted their strength. Especially Cao Shangshu, he did his best to cooperate with Liu Citing and Liu Xiu

, turning the scales of power.

(and degree Hebei, Xu is powerful).

In October 23 AD, due to the success of Liu Xiutao's obscure plan, Liu Ci's bitter recommendation and Cao Jing, Cao Xu's father and son were strongly supported, and it was indeed a business trip to Hebei

Hard work, rough work, and the political vision of Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang, Zhu Kun and others is too shallow, and the first dynasty appointed Liu Xiu to break the generals and act as the greatest

Sima traveled to Hebei on a business trip, and his job goal was to recover, pacify, and manage the city.

(It is to send Guangwu to destroy the general to do the great Sima thing.) In October, the festival crossed the river in the north and comforted Zhou County. ）

Liu Xiu finally got his wish.

This was the most important and historically influential cadre appointment of the Genshi Dynasty, and it finally handed over the most colorful banner of "reviving the Han family" to Liu Xiu.

Of course, this flag can be copied or given to multiple emissaries sent to various places.

However, handing it over to Liu Xiu is very different from handing it over to someone else.

This is true of any object, and the role it plays in the hands of different people cannot be compared.

Since then, Liu Xiu has entered the sea like a dragon in shallow water, and a tiger in a cave has come out of the deep mountains.

In this way, in dealing with the two issues of life and death for itself, the First Dynasty first inadvertently annoyed Fan Chong and the Red Eyebrow Army, and now seriously put it

The strategically important Hebei was handed over to Liu Xiu, who finally matured his opponents, finally made irreparable mistakes, and fully demonstrated his short-sightedness and incompetence.
