During his stay in Wancheng, under the noses of Liu Xuan and his gang, Liu Xiu successfully concealed his feelings and scheming, and performed very well.

You must know that at this time, the prestige of the regime was flourishing, Liu Xuan and his behind-the-scenes manipulators were in full control of the situation, and the "effect of bad money driving out good money" was in full swing

played a role, and most of Liu Xiu's supporters were silent.

Liu Xiu wants to quietly borrow the banner of "recovering the Han Dynasty" from Liu Xuan through his successful performance, which really requires considerable courage.

Wisdom and means.

Liu Xiu's little sister Liu Boji couldn't hold her breath for a long time! The eldest brother is so good, and he was hacked for no reason, there is no reason!

She was originally a heroine, with a straightforward and cheerful temperament, if Liu Xiu hadn't been desperately persuaded to stop her, she would have drawn her sword and found someone to reason!

After all, the flesh and blood are deep, and Bo Ji is very sad and angry about the murder of her eldest brother, and she is really uncomfortable.

At this time, she and Li Tong had just been married.

At this time, the coalition army knew that when Liu Xuan and his gang set up a trap to kill Liu Xuan, Li Tong's younger brother Li Yi was one of the backbones of several digging pits.

So, Bo Ji poured out her resentment on the groom Li Tong. At this time, who else can she blame if she doesn't blame her husband?

Once, in front of Liu Xiu, Bo Ji couldn't help but quarrel with Li Tong.

She cried and shouted to Li Tong:

"How can our Liu family be sorry for your Li family? Why is your brother bent on killing my eldest brother? You guys just take me and the third brother (Liu Xiu)

Kill it too! ”

Li Tong was the partner of the Liu Xiu brothers, and now he and Li Yi and Li Song have become celebrities in the original regime.

There is a lot of controversy about his character and ability, and we don't have a low opinion of him, so we'll talk about it when he comes out in the future.

His current identity is the general of the Zhu State and the Marquis of the Auxiliary Han, and he was ordered to guard Jingzhou.

As for whether he returned to Wancheng for his honeymoon in the past few days, or to help deal with the aftermath of his wife and brother Liu Xuan, we don't know. We only know that Li Tong is in Liu Xuan

The murder was very low-key.

Right now, being scolded by Bo Ji, Li Tong is also very aggrieved, and said angrily:

"Don't mess with me, will you?! I'll kill Li Yi first, and then kill Liu Xuan, a faint king, to avenge your eldest brother! ”

Liu Xiu was twelve points calm on the side, he hurriedly stopped Li Tong, and comforted Li Tong and Bo Ji and his wife, so as to suppress the anger in Bo Ji's heart.

Later, as Liu Xiu gradually got out of the predicament and his power continued to grow, Bo Ji finally understood the reason why the third brother was temporarily withholding it.

To be precise, Liu Xiu is currently forbearing, but not unforgiving.

Prudence, agility and stability, is Liu Xiu's style.

While fully demonstrating his obedience to the change, Liu Xiu never stopped his thoughts and actions. Only, he has his own way.

First of all, he used the good relationship he had established with the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces to further expand his good relationship and win as much sympathy and support as possible.

He was originally a master of dealing with interpersonal relationships, and he could get along well with all aspects of the coalition forces in peacetime, but now he deliberately does it, which is naturally more effective.

In particular, several key people gave him key support at this critical time.

For example, Feng Yi reminded him to pay attention to the Zuo Prime Minister Cao Jing, Cao Xu's father and son, as important cadres at the beginning of the change, he helped Liu Xiu speak everywhere.

There is also Liu Ci, everyone is familiar with him, he is Liu Xuan's cousin, and his positions are Guangluxun and Da Situ. Not only is his position important, but more importantly

has blood and family relations with Liu Xuan, and also has the grace of life and death for Liu Xuan, we have described it before.

Liu Ci has always liked Liu Xiu, his own brother, and Liu Xiu intends to contact him, so he naturally helps Liu Xiu speak everywhere.

Needless to say, in the current extremely complex and difficult political environment, Liu Xiu has successfully handled the relationship with everyone:

Those who should be blindfolded have been blindfolded, those who should be pacified have been appeased, and those who should have been fought for have been won over.

At the same time, Liu Xiu also reserved a way back for himself: once the situation in Wancheng deteriorated, he would immediately withdraw and start anew!

Let's say a little more about this, because we found that most of the historical materials only said that he took the initiative when introducing Liu Xiu's difficult years

Apologize to survive.

I carefully studied the activities of the parties concerned from the vast historical materials, and found that Liu Xiu was ready to draw if necessary while returning to Wancheng from the front line to apologize

Careful deployment of physical force!

To put it simply, Liu Xiu's short-term specific plan is: to write first, not to mention revenge, but to review his own mistakes, and strive to successfully "revive the Han family"

Take away the flag, this is the best policy; Once the opera can't be performed, you must not sit still and immediately withdraw to use force, which is the middle policy; There is no decision.

Regarding his literary drama, it can be said that he performed very well, and everyone has seen it.

Let's take a look at his other preparation.

After Liu Xiu took his father's city and surrendered Feng Yi not long ago, he was very satisfied with Feng Yi's ability and loyalty, so he arranged for him to continue to deal with his father's city, including his father's city

Military and political affairs in the 5 counties of Yeongcheon County.

Feng Yi is very expert in fighting and governing affairs, he was originally the county of Xinmang Yingchuan County, and his duty is to patrol these 5 counties, and now he has the heart to follow Liu Xiugan,

It is determined to make these five counties a reliable base for Liu Xiu.

I don't know if you still remember, not long ago, Liu Xiu and Yu Wei of Kunyang Dajie attacked his father's city, and Feng Yi, who was still a deputy department-level cadre in Xinmang at the time, was ordered to patrol

These five counties, together with Miao Meng, the magistrate of Fucheng County, resisted, and Liu Xiu failed to take it for a while, so he had to retreat to the county's Jinche Township for temporary rest.

From this, it can also be seen that Feng Yi's outstanding personal ability and the rigor and solidity of the defense of the five counties.

Therefore, we said that when Liu Xiu arrived in Wan to make a review, he had already laid out the situation: arrange for Feng Yi to manage these five counties well, as his starting point at any time

A reliable base for turning the other cheek and immediately withdrawing from force.

When Liu Xiu was in Wancheng, some of Liu Xuan's group seemed to see Liu Xiu's move, so they sent other soldiers to attack Father City and other places.

Feng Yi was only loyal to Liu Xiu, and led the crowd to resist and never let the other party succeed.

Because Liu Xuan and his gang are pondering people behind their backs and playing tricks, most of them are not good at doing heavy work and fighting tough battles, and they have sent more than a dozen groups of people without a hand

The father city and other places were taken.

(Guangwu Nan is still Wan, and more than ten generations before and after the generals attacked the father's city, and they couldn't hold on.) ）

Liu Xiu not only prepared a reliable base for himself to start anew, but also quietly deployed his forces to develop in depth: arranging a number of right-hand men

Letter back to your hometown to develop your strength, and respond to yourself at any time!

Therefore, in the extremely complex political and military environment where his eldest brother was killed, Liu Xiu went to Wancheng to ask Liu Xuan for his guilt, which was not only scheming, but also self-giving

A very wide back road has been reserved.

In this regard, I might as well give you a brief introduction to a few of his right-hand men to see how he sowed fire.

In this way, firstly, let everyone know more about Liu Xiu's strategies and methods, and secondly, these people will appear many times in the future and have very wonderful performances.

Let them show up and say hello first.

Let's just talk about Cho Period, Wang Ba, and Sai Zun, they all have outstanding character cultivation and ability and talent, Liu Xiu sees them very accurately and leads them to himself

The road to the world has provided them with a broad political stage.

They are brave and loyal on the journey of following Liu Xiu, swaying a magnificent life, and making outstanding contributions, all of which are ranked among the "28 generals of Yuntai".

Cho period, the word times, is a native of Jiaxian, Yingchuan County (now Jiaxian, Henan).

He was a burly man, dignified in appearance, dignified, and faithful. He was originally born in a family of Xinmang eunuchs, and his father Cho Meng once served as the Taishou of Guiyang. dad

At the time of his death, Choshi served 3 years of mourning, and his filial piety was very respected by his hometown.

When Liu Xiu took Yingchuan, he was recommended by Feng Yi to summon Cho Qi and appoint him as "thief Cao Peng".

The duty of "thief Cao Peng" is to arrest thieves, which is a very important position.

Liu Xiugang was entrusted with an important task soon after he met him, which shows his trust in him.

Liu Xiu really didn't look away. Later, when Liu Xiu developed independently, no matter what happened, Choshi's loyalty to Liu Xiu never changed.

Choshi fought bravely and wittily, often taking the lead in charging into battle, slashing the enemy, even if he was wounded; He governed the army rigorously and commanded soldiers

Strict discipline, every time the city was attacked, and there was never a matter of plundering the common people, which was very rare at that time; He is loyal and sincere to Liu Xiu, except for very little

In addition to being sent on a business trip or serving as a local official, he loyally guarded Liu Xiu's side all his life, and he never left in life or death.

In such an excellent period, when Liu Xiu arrived in Wancheng and made a "review" to Liu Xuan, he arranged for him to return to his hometown to "stand by".

Wang Ba, whose name is Yuanbo, is a native of Yingyang, Yingchuan County (now west of Xuchang City, Henan), born in a scholarly family and a cadre family

He served as a county magistrate Cao Peng, and he himself served as a prison officer.

However, Wang Ba is very ambitious, usually generous in words and deeds, and ambitious, always thinking that he is a prison official and does nothing.

His father was more open-minded, so he arranged for him to travel to Chang'an to look for development opportunities.

When Liu Xiu first raised troops to pass through Yingyang, Wang Ba returned to his hometown and led his relatives and friends to pay respects, expressing his willingness to follow Liu Xiu to make contributions.

He said sincerely and humbly: "General, you have raised a rebel army, I do not measure myself, I admire your prestige and virtue, and I want to follow you to march and fight, with my own body

Service. ”

(The general is a volunteer soldier, stealing without knowing the amount, greedy for Weide, and willing to join the army.) ）

Liu Xiu saw that he was magnificent, and treated him politely, and said sincerely: "I always dream of getting the help of talented people, so that we can achieve something together."

career, perseverance, hard work. ”

(Dream of the Magi, the success of the karma, how can there be two.) ）

From then on, Wang Ba began to follow Liu Xiunan to fight in the north. Liu Xiu didn't look away at Wang Ba either.

In the bloody battle of Kunyang, Wang Ba followed Liu Xiu's side and made great contributions.

Later, Wang Ba has always loyally followed Liu Xiu, fought all his life, defeated the enemy, governed the locality, stabilized the frontier, and made countless feats.

What's even more commendable is that when Liu Xiu was in the most difficult time, the relatives and friends who came with Wang Ba couldn't stand the suffering and left one by one.

He firmly followed Liu Xiu and did not change his original intention.

Liu Xiu was very moved by his loyalty, and said: "The people who followed me from Yingchuan have all left, and only you are the only one who stays

Let's work together! ”

(Yingchuan passed away from me, and the son was left alone.) Step up your game! The wind knows the strength of the grass. ）

The image metaphor of "the wind knows the strength of the grass", which is loyal and reliable to people, was originally given by Liu Xiu to Wang Ba.

At present, such a loyal and reliable Wang Ba was also arranged by Liu Xiu to return to his hometown Yingyang to develop his strength.

There is also a priest, the grandson of the word brother, who is also a native of Yingyang County, Yingchuan County, and Wang Ba is a fellow countryman.

He liked to read since he was a child, and although his family was wealthy and he worked in the county government, he lived a very frugal life and treated people with humility and courtesy.

When his mother died, he built the grave with his own soil.

Once, a local grassroots cadre bullied him, and he actively befriended the chivalrous warrior and killed this cadre.

Originally, the people in the county thought that he was a weak and cowardly scholar, but after this incident, everyone was afraid of his courage.

(At the beginning, the county was also soft and soft, and it was all fearful.) ）

After Liu Xiu's victory in Kunyang, he returned to the army and passed through Yingyang, and asked to see him several times as a county cadre.

Liu Xiu admired his temperament, demeanor, and appearance, so he took him in and appointed him as his disciple.

Later, as Liu Xiu's Confucian general, he crisscrossed the field and won many battles; He enforces the law like a mountain and does not avoid relatives and enemies; He was self-denying and faithful throughout his life.

Sai Zun has been loyal to Liu Xiu all his life, coupled with his noble character, outstanding ability, and outstanding meritorious service, he has always been highly valued and trusted by Liu Xiu.

Now, the same loyal and excellent priest has also been arranged by Liu Xiu to return to his hometown to "stand by".

Well, with Feng Yi's 5 counties as reliable bases, and such a group of die-hard fans as good and loyal as Feng Yi, Liu Xiu is not alone.

Therefore, we said that Liu Xiu's arrival in Wancheng for self-examination was by no means a matter of being caught and sent to the door for Liu Xuan and his gang to clean up. On the contrary, he is on the defensive

The purpose is to borrow the banner of "recovering the Han Dynasty" from Liu Xuan and the first dynasty.

Of course, this is the best policy, but also a risky move.

He did it!

In the past few months when Wancheng was refrigerated, it was both dangerous and suffocating, and Liu Xiu finally managed to get through it!

In these difficult days, his bride Yin Lihua also gave him valuable support.

These days, Yin Lihua has always been by Liu Xiu's side, taking care of his life meticulously, accompanying him to be sad, crying with him, and accompanying him to think and long

Looking forward to the future days, he felt the warmth of his family in the tiger's den and the ice cave.

It wasn't until he was sent on a business trip by Liu Xuan again that Liu Xiu arranged for his wife to go back to Xinye's house again.
