Let's talk about red eyebrows here first, let's take a look at Deng Yu.

A few days ago, when Red Mei was ruining Chang'an, Deng Yu did not obey Liu Xiu's order to take Chang'an immediately, but was stubborn and continued to divide his troops to attack

Upper counties. At the same time, he returned to the division to recruit supplementary soldiers, collect and accumulate food, and recuperate.

Speaking of which, we seem to understand that Liu Xiu asked Deng Yu to take Chang'an immediately, at least hoping that he would quickly settle his bare eyebrows, so as not to make this crazy team

Wu Lao is ruining Chang'an. And if Deng Yu obeyed Liu Xiu's orders, Red Eyebrows would at least not be so presumptuous in Chang'an.

Of course, that's not all.

Deng Yu's mistakes began.

He moved the command center from the west of Yuyi to Dayao, leaving the crossbow general Feng Su and the chariot general Zong Xin to guard the Yi.

It is said that Deng Yu knows people and knows everything well, so that Liu Xiu is reused as the chief think tank, and he should be very stable in thinking about problems and doing things.

But this time, he looked away at the two generals under his command.

Due to the age, we can't know what considerations Deng Yu had for leaving these two generals to guard the rear, but we only know that this was an obvious mistake.

Feng Yu and Zong Xin are of the same rank, they are both generals; The characteristics are the same, both have great ambitions.

I don't know who said it, but both tides and ambitions have one thing in common: they are both surging. This phrase couldn't be more apt for these two guys.

There is a saying in China that you can't tie two fierce horses in one trough. Another common saying is that you can't tie two donkeys in one trough.

Now, these two guys are such fierce horses or donkeys.

As soon as Deng Yu left, Feng and Zong fought, and the goal was very simple: who had the final say here.

The power was so tempting that the two generals fought so hard that each led his own soldiers and horses to destroy his colleagues.

The world is so chaotic that these two unknown people are also ready to take their lives to make a profit in the game of heroes and bears

benefits.

(The two fight for power.) ）

Feng and Zong can't be regarded as good birds, as soldiers, they haven't seen any performance in attacking the city and protecting the people and the country, which can be remembered

, only this time in the nest fight.

The consequence of this nest fight was that General Feng Yu killed General Zong Xin.

As soon as he saw a fire in the backyard, Deng Yu immediately returned to the army to fight it.

General Feng did not stop doing two things, and led his troops to fight against Deng Yu. He also planned to defeat his coach Deng Yu, that is, to develop in the Tianshui area to the west.

Who knew that Deng Yu originally held the main force, but he couldn't control Feng Yu.

Deng Yu knew that this time was in big trouble, so he had no choice but to report Liu Xiu truthfully.

Deng Yu's envoy hurried to Luoyang.

When Liu Xiu heard the report, he asked the messenger:

"Who is Feng Su's closest and most trusted person at present?"

The messenger replied:

"Protector Yellow Defense."

Liu Xiu is the real governor who knows everything and sees the fire.

Based on his own understanding, he concluded that Feng and Huang would definitely not be able to cooperate for too long, and the two would soon fall out.

Power can drive people crazy, and loyalty can make people strong.

Liu Xiu definitely asked the messenger to go back and report to Deng Yu:

"The next person to arrest Feng Su must be Huang Fang."

(Those who bind Feng Yu will be Huang Fang.) ）

At the same time, Liu Xiu sent Shangshu Zongguang to take Fu Jie to recruit Huang Fang.

This fight lasted for more than a month, and the end was not Liu Xiu's estimate, Huang Fang took Feng Su, controlled the soldiers who accompanied Feng Su's rebellion, and sent him to

Luoyang pleaded guilty.

(After more than a month, he was stubborn and blamed everyone.) ）

Feng Su was sent to Luoyang, saw Liu Xiu, bowed on his knees, apologized repeatedly, and was pardoned by Liu Xiu and saved his life.

At this point, we have two misgivings about this infighting:

First, with Deng Yu's wisdom and strategy, why did he leave Feng Yu and Zong Xin, two generals of the same level, to guard the rear? Or why is it not clear

Who is in charge? Who is the main person responsible for guarding the rear?

Is Deng Yu really unaware of the situation, or is he confused for a while?

The second is that Feng Yu killed his colleague (Zong Xin), fought against his superiors (Deng Yu), and wanted to develop independently to the west, which is actually a typical rebellion, why Liu

Xiu didn't punish him severely, but wanted to pardon him?

Is Liu Xiu really lenient, or is there something unspeakable?

Also because of the age, we were not at the scene, and there was a lack of information to dissect the truth. All we know is that what we say above is true.

By the way, there's a little bit of an episode in this.

On the way back to Luoyang after Zong Guang completed his mission, Wang Kuang, Hu Yin and others, the original generals, came to surrender.

Not long ago, when the First Dynasty broke up, these guys surrendered to Red Eyebrow.

Because the red eyebrows have no political vision like the beginning, just like Fan Chong and other high-ranking cadres who surrendered back then were not looked down upon, these guys are also

Not looked down upon by the red eyebrows.

Fuck, you guys have a lot of cadres today!

At this time, the high-level of the red eyebrows were already very arrogant and tyrannical, and they didn't take these old cadres in their eyes at all, and they were often ashamed

Insult them.

Wang Kuang, Hu Yin and others were very depressed.

One must build on a firm foundation?!

Now seeing that Zong Guang is here on a business trip on behalf of Liu Xiu, the brothers secretly found an opportunity and surrendered to him.

These days, the buddies are fighting and killing, and they are too tired, so let's surrender to Liu Xiu!

These days, I have been in contact with so many people, and Liu Xiu is still kind. Of course, he was still an acquaintance.

Zong Guang accepted the surrender of these guys, and took them and Feng Su back to Luoyang.

Who knows that these "bad coins" have no ability to fight the world, and they are also very unbearable.

When Zong Shangshu took everyone to Anyi, Wang Kuang and Hu Yin wanted to regret it and plotted to escape. Zong Shangshu was very annoyed and immediately took them

They were all beheaded.

(To Anyi, the Tao wants to die, and it is widely known to be killed.) ）

Poor Wang Kuang and the others came out with their heads in their hands, leaving a well-known name at that time and in later generations, but they ended up dying like this.

As soon as the fighting in Deng Yu's side subsided, news came from Luoyang that he had been crowned a knight.

Liu Xiu did not blame his disobedience and negligence in employing people, which led to the fight. In order to express his reward and encouragement, Liu Xiu specially sent an envoy to the front line in Chang'an to announce it

The order of the imperial court: to crown Deng Yu as the Marquis of Liang and eat the taxes of 4 counties.

At this time, Chimei was already so hungry that he ran away from Chang'an, and Deng Yu took the opportunity to lead his troops into Chang'an.

He stationed his army in Kunmingchi, southwest of Chang'an City, and held a banquet to reward the three armies and celebrate the victory.

In fact, Xiao Deng is praising himself.

Because the red eyebrows were not beaten away by him, but the people themselves ran away hungry, and when they ran, they were still aggressive and arrogant.

And Xiao Deng himself has not directly dealt with Chimei so far, and he also took a bear from Liu Xiu for this.

Not only that, but his subordinates are fighting in the nest, everyone has seen it, if Liu Xiu didn't come forward, it is difficult to say whether he could settle it.

Xiao Deng is indeed a talent, but he really has nothing to celebrate at the moment.

Even if he was welcomed by the common people a few days ago, he has nothing to show off - the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard!

Then we would rather believe that Xiao Deng is completely to inspire the morale of the army, and at the same time remind everyone not to forget the victory a few days ago and Liu Xiu's trust.

Yes, if it weren't for Liu Xiu's absolute trust, even if Xiao Deng had a lot of credit, he would have been removed from his post and investigated for disobedience and rebellion among his subordinates.

In return, he has always been loyal to Liu Xiu.

Now, Xiao Deng has just settled down in Chang'an, and the first thing he does is to express his respect for Liu Xiu and the Liu clan.

Here's how he responded:

First of all, he led the soldiers to fast for a few days and make all preparations to worship Liu Han's ancestors.

Secondly, he chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, prepared generous gifts, and led the crowd to Liujiagao Temple to worship with great fanfare.

Xiao Deng's respect for the Liu family is sincere.

After the worship was completed, he arranged for someone to collect the tablets of the 11 emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, and specially sent envoys to escort them to Luoyang and handed them over to Liu Xiu for arrangement.

Third, this is not counting, he also personally inspected the cemetery of the emperor Liu of the Western Han Dynasty, and after verifying, he immediately arranged for officials and soldiers to guard it carefully.

When Deng Yu was resting in Chang'an, his red eyebrows were in trouble in the mountainous area on the border of Shaanxi and Gansu today.

They were severely short of provisions, and they encountered heavy snowfall, starvation and cold, and most of them suffered casualties. This was not the end, and when they moved to Longxi (present-day southeastern Gansu), they were again blocked by Yang Guang, the general of the Kui Huan Army.

At this time, Lao Kui gave great assistance to Deng Yuxi's expedition.

After he fell out with Gengshi half a year ago, he returned to his hometown Tianshui, recruited troops, recruited talents, and called himself the general of Xizhou, and stood on his own feet.

In fact, Lao Kui has always been optimistic about Liu Xiu, but he didn't have the opportunity to make friends.

He defected to Genshi a few days ago, and he was somewhat unwilling, because he looked down on these "bad coins" of Genshi.

As soon as Liu Xiu became emperor in Hebei, he persuaded Liu Xuan to quickly hand over the state affairs to Liu Xiu's uncle Liu Liang, but was refused.

Lao Kui's meaning is very clear, let's let Liu Xiu lead everyone.

Liu Xuan's meaning is also very clear, I just tasted the sweetness of being a brother, how can I easily give it to others? Besides, I can't do it.

(It was rumored that Guangwu was enthroned in Hebei, and he said that he was more in charge of Guangwu's uncle, the third elder of the country, and he didn't listen.) ）

At present, although Lao Kui dominates the northwest, he is by no means willing to be just like this.

The beauty of power can be chased by anyone!

The world is so big, anyone can gallop on horseback!

In the chaos of the world, anyone can calculate others and strengthen themselves!

……。

About Lao Kui, I have always wanted to have a good chat with you, because Liu Xiude is outstanding and has a brilliant life, regardless of his position and point of view, according to himself

The energy level is really up to his opponent, and there is only one person!

But the world is really too chaotic, Liu Xiu is really too busy, Lao Kui is really too low-key a few days ago, we are chasing Liu Xiu and his fans

When explaining, I often don't care about saying too much.

Even now, Lao Kui's assistance to Deng Yu's expedition to the west is doing more and saying less. But rest assured, his wonderful performance is still to come.

You may still remember that when Deng Yu's subordinate Feng Yuwo rebelled just now, there was a lot of commotion, and Deng Yu couldn't control the situation for a while.

Feng Yu's original plan was to kill his colleague Zong Xin, resist his superior Deng Yu, and then withdraw to the west and become independent. However, he led his troops to Gaoping (

present-day Ningxia Guyuan), it was blocked by Kui.

Feng Su was defeated miserably, and even many military baggage were captured.

(Arrogant counterattack, broken in Gaoping, all the baggage.) ）

It can be said that the proper handling of the Feng Yu rebellion incident, in addition to Liu Xiu's strategy, Zong Guang's mission, and Huang Fang's cooperation, was arrogant in the western military

Support is also key.

Deng Yu was very satisfied with Kui Huan's performance.

After asking Liu Xiu, Deng Yu specially sent an envoy and issued a document to appoint (in fact, it is to recognize) Kui Huan as the general of Xizhou, with jurisdiction over Liangzhou and Shuofangyi

With transactions.

(So Yu Cheng sent an envoy to hold the festival and order to be the general of Xizhou, and he had to ** Liangzhou and Shuo Fang. ）

The seat of Liangzhou was in Zhangjiachuan, present-day Gansu, and Shuofang was located in the Yellow River Basin north of present-day Jixian County, Shanxi, and Yichuan, Shaanxi. And "the general of the western state."

The position of "army" was used by Kui Huan for his own creativity to promote himself, and Liu Xiu specially admitted it afterwards.

Now, seeing that after the red eyebrows withdrew from Chang'an, they were killing people, grabbing land, and robbing things everywhere, and they also thought of the development of Longxi, so Kui Huan sent his own general Yang Guang out of the horse

, striking the red eyebrows.

In Shanglong (now Longshan, Gansu), Yang Guang hit his red eyebrows with a head. Red eyebrows were defeated, turned around and ran. Yang Guang refused to give up, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and in Wushi (

Between Guyuan South in Gansu Province and Jingyang, the red eyebrows were flattened again.

(And the red eyebrows went to Chang'an, wanted to go west to Long, sent the general Yang Guang to meet the attack, broke it, and chased the defeated Wushi and Jingyang.) ）

Flattened again and again, hungry and cold, Red Mei was cornered, so he had to return to Chang'an east.

They think that Chang'an is too easy to bully!

When passing by the mausoleum of the Western Han Emperor in Xianyang today, they did something inferior to beasts again.

They not only ravaged the living, but also the dead.

They dug up the Western Han Emperor's Mausoleum one by one and looted the burial items inside.

That's not all, they also insulted Empress Lu's body.

According to the regulations of the Western Han Dynasty, many concubines were buried with jade boxes (or jade clothes), and the corpses were still well preserved when they were excavated, just like when they were alive, with red eyebrows

And the cattle raped him.

(It was returned, excavated the tombs, took its treasures, and then insulted the corpse of Lu Hou.) All thieves send them, and those who have jade boxes are all alive, so they are more filthy with red eyebrows. ）

Deng Yu learned in Chang'an that Chimei had fought back again, and hurriedly sent troops to block it. In Yuyi (present-day west of Yuzhen, Shaanxi), fierce fighting ensued between the two sides.

Unfortunately, Deng's army was defeated.

Since Feng Yuwo fought in the nest, Deng Yu's prestige has not only been affected, but the combat effectiveness of the troops has also weakened. At the same time, his level of decision-making and organizational leadership ability

The force is also not as good as before.

Like a mad dog in a hurry, Red Eyebrows still has considerable combat effectiveness.

Take Chang'an, you must take Chang'an!

Otherwise, we won't have a place to stay!

Red eyebrows stalked towards Chang'an, Deng Yu couldn't parry, had to withdraw, retreated to Yunyang (now northwest of Chunhua, Shaanxi), and waited for an opportunity to fight again.
