A little bit of clarification here.

Choshi is an acquaintance of everyone. He was burly and majestic, wise and brave, and when he protected Liu Xiu to Xindu, he was appointed by Liu Xiu as a general and was under the command of Deng Yu.

A few days ago, when he was in Xindu, Liu Xiu arranged for Deng Yu, Feng Yi and other confidants to go to other places to recruit troops and horses, and attack the city, in order to deal with the discussion from Xindu

Wang Jun, Deng brought the Cho period.

Deng Yu took Cho to patrol Fangzi and other places to further investigate him in practical work.

When a leader examines cadres in practice, it is very easy for them to draw correct conclusions if they are motivated by public intentions.

Deng Yu found out that Choshi was indeed a talent who led troops to fight, so he promoted him to a partial general and allocated 2,000 soldiers.

Liu Xiu also recognized and satisfied with the performance of Cho and Deng Yu's appointment.

(Guangwu is very good.) ）

For the trust and reuse of the organization, Choshi is determined to repay it with good work performance.

Under Deng Yu's arrangement, Choshi led his subordinates to work independently, patrolling Zhending, Songzi and other places, and quickly captured Leyang (now Pingshan, Hebei

North), Qi (now Hebei Qicheng), Feilei (now Qicheng West) and other places, everywhere is successful, and all the attacks are overcome.

(Don't follow the true Songzi, attack Leyang, Qi, and fat. ）

Since Cho was later ranked among the 28th generals of Yuntai, and he himself will show characteristics that are worthy of people's thinking and learning in his future work, we will do our best

The amount does not omit his main achievements.

At this time, Feng Yi, who had been sent to Hejian (now Xian County, Hebei) to recruit troops, also returned, and Liu Xiu was like a tiger with wings and named him a partial general.

Liu Xiu led the army to attack Handan, and Wang Lang of course had to take it.

Everyone should pay attention to the fact that since Wang Lang was proclaimed emperor in Handan for more than 100 days in December last year (23 AD), the situation in Hebei has always been that Wang Lang is beating Liu Xiu.

Now, the situation has changed, and it's time for Liu Xiu to come to the door and beat him.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was about to hit the doorstep, and Shancheng was only more than 100 kilometers away from Handan according to today's calculation method, Wang Lang decided to follow Liu at all costs

Show off your tricks.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Hebei cannot accommodate two masters. In this struggle for hegemony in Hebei, either you die or I die, and there can be no third one

Options.

Wang Lang sent his general Li Yun to lead a heavy army to attack the city of Shancheng and take Liu Xiu directly.

At this time, Liu Xiu had just moved into the Juancheng Guest House.

Su Gong, a big family in the city, launched a rebellion, opened the city gate, and let Li Yun in!

The situation is critical!

(As for Shan, the ancestor stopped passing on the house, and the surname of Su Gong rebelled against Li Yun, the king of the city.) ）

Fortunately, the former general Geng Chun was very vigilant, discovered the signs of this rebellion plot in advance, and prepared a work plan long ago. He arranges precisely, rated

The soldiers resisted stubbornly and drove Li Yun out of the city.

(Pure pre-awareness, the generals rebel and fight.) ）

However, Li Yun is difficult to entangle.

He was not reconciled to be beaten out of the city by Geng Chun, and set up troops outside the city, showing that he had to defeat the city.

Liu Xiu felt that Shancheng was a new place, the mass base was not yet very solid, and it was difficult to guarantee that the rebellion that had just occurred would not happen again. In order to avoid the appearance of enemies

In response to the situation of external cooperation, he asked all the soldiers to stabilize their positions first, defend the city, and then wait for the opportunity to break the enemy.

Li Yun couldn't wait, I don't know if he was too anxious, or if Wang Lang had a special explanation for him, anyway, he really wanted to break through Shancheng and take Liu Xiu immediately.

As soon as he was kicked out of the city, he began to curse Liu Xiu's soldiers on the city wall.

Liu Xiu sent a general to fight him.

Generals against generals, soldiers against soldiers, fought for a long time, and there was no victory.

Due to the lack of on-site records and the thick smoke of history, we do not see who this general is.

Some history books say that this general is Cen Peng, I carefully checked the relevant records, no, because at this time Cen Peng has not been attached to Liu Xiu, his business

We'll talk about that later.

After this general returned to the city, Li Yun did not give up, so he led his troops to attack the east gate of Shancheng.

Outside the east gate, Li Yun still scolded in person, asking Liu Xiu's people to come out and fight him.

Maybe he scolded too badly, or maybe Liu Xiu's subordinates were mostly Confucian generals who were also familiar with poetry and books, and everyone felt that it was really unbearable: Fei Bian, this kid is not

Can!

So, the partial general Feng Yi slapped his horse out of the city and fought him.

To be honest, this Li Yun is also a good hand in war, otherwise, at this time, he would not dare to scold Liu Xiu in public even if his head was in water.

Feng Yi fought with him, but when he saw that he couldn't take advantage, he had to collect his troops and return to the city.

At this time, Li Yun's strength came up:

Who said Liu Xiuneng? Who said Liu Xiu's subordinates could? But that's it! I'm going to have to take you!

Of course, his head did not enter the water at this time, but into the fire:

I had a fever.

He saw that Liu Xiu closed the city gate, and the two generals sent couldn't do anything to him at all, so he didn't give up, so he continued to scold outside the east gate. Scolded for a long time

And no one paid any attention to him.

Full of unwillingness, Li Yun turned to the south gate and scolded.

At this time, the partial general Choshi went out of the city to meet him and fought with him.

Just when Choshi and Li Yun had not yet decided the winner, a female general in the city, Pegasus, ran out and replaced Choshi and took Li Yun directly.

She is Liu Xiu's little sister Liu Boji.

She's already angry! She couldn't help it a long time ago! She has to come out to beat Li Yun!

Because Bo Ji moved too fast, as for how she and her husband Li Tong returned to the third brother Liu Xiu, we can only talk about it later.

Bo Ji is strong in martial arts, good at fighting, strong and competitive, how can she allow Li Yun to always be strong! What's more, the scolding surnamed Li is too ugly!

Just now, if someone hadn't persuaded her, she would have gone out a long time ago.

Right now, she didn't wait for Choshi to make a decision, so she couldn't wait to go into battle.

Right now, not long after she fought with Li Yun, she sold a flaw, pretended to be defeated, and fled.

Li Yun was already on fire in his head, and it was already very hot, so he didn't know that it was a plan, and he chased after him.

Seeing that Li Yun was deceived, Bo Ji quietly took a bow and arrows.

At this moment, the former general Geng Chun Pegasus arrived, greeted Li Yun, shouted loudly, and beheaded him under the horse.

When the soldiers brought by Li Yun saw that the main general was gone, they fled in fright and ran cleanly.

Liu Xiu's soldiers were unscathed.

Speaking of which, some comrades may think that Liu Xiu killed Li Yun with wheel tactics.

Not really.

Li Yun sent it to the door, but he couldn't drive it away, and he kept scolding. He wants to be funny, and he can run away at any time before he dies.

As you know, there are many ways for cats to eat mice.

For example, cats can eat directly in front of them, sneak up from behind, and more dramatically, use their paws to tease a mouse and then take a sudden.

Of course, either way of eating is cruel. However, since rats harm people, cats can harm mice.

Just like war, since it is inevitable, the participants want to win; And if one side makes a move, the other party will of course fight back.

That's why everyone recognizes that "soldiers don't get tired of cheating".

Liu Xiu killed Li Yun just now, you said it was wheel tactics, you said it was cat and mouse, and even you said that Liu Xiu wanted to warm up his subordinates, it was not nothing

Makes sense.

We also said that Liu Xiu's use of troops is often excellent in strategy and tricks, and there are no certain rules

A more relaxed one.

Last year, not long after Bo Ji and Li Tong got married, the eldest brother Liu Xuan was killed.

However, the three Li Tong brothers were celebrities in the First Dynasty, and Li Tong himself was appointed as the local magistrate of Jingzhou.

(The beginning of the Tongzhi Festival returned to Jingzhou)

As we told you earlier, the eldest brother Liu Zhong was hacked by the first group, the second brother Liu Zhong was killed by Wang Mang's officers and soldiers as soon as he got into trouble, and the third brother Liu Xiu was everywhere

was ostracized, and Beckie couldn't swallow these breaths no matter what!

Family feuds are like a sea, she must not swallow this breath!

Therefore, when the third brother went to Hebei to open up a new world, she waited for the opportunity to say goodbye to her husband and came to Hebei!

It's a pity that everyone was very busy at that time, and they didn't care too much about when and where she found Liu Xiu, only that she helped the third brother Jian

He is eager to make a career and wants to go into battle when he has the opportunity.

Everyone also knows that although Bo Ji is a woman, she is witty and brave, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary men.

By the way, at this time, Liu Xiu's development in Hebei has obviously taken a turn for the better, and Li Tong, Deng Chen and other close relatives have rushed to join us

When they come, let's see the opportunity to narrate.

Well, Berge has a fight.

Liu Xiujian pointed to the Bai people, and the keeper of the Bai Ren City was Wang Lang's great Sima Li Yu.

Li Yuben was a local tycoon, and in order to hold shares in Wang Lang and Liu Lin's Handan puppet regime joint-stock company, he used his family wealth to recruit troops and horses to respond to Wang Lang

, entered the board of directors of the company.

He was in charge of the core business of the joint-stock company: to be the Great Sima, to be in charge of the army.

Now, his biggest business is to act as an important obstacle for Liu Xiunan to take Handan, stationing troops and people, waiting for work, and trying to prevent Liu Xiu from going south.

He decided to do whatever it took to get the business done.

Since the opening of the joint-stock company for 100 days, the main product is the development and utilization of the "Liu Ziyu" brand "Emperor" preemptively registered by Wang Lang, who is a fortune-teller. Due to the tight packaging

Secret, flickering, the joint-stock company once had a very hot business:

In Hebei, the company's advertising, products and salesmen are highly sought after by military and civilian cadres in various counties.

Except for a few places such as Xindu and Hecheng, everyone uses the company's products, and there are only those who reduce their holdings and return goods like Liu Yang, the king of Zhending.

Liu Xiu, as a counterfeiter, was even thrown away from having no place to work for a time.

Now, Liu Xiu's anti-counterfeiting work has achieved phased results, and he is about to find Handan, the headquarters of the joint-stock company.

Li Yu was determined to stop Liu Xiu from going south. I must stop Liu Xiu! Once he destroys the company's headquarters, the company is finished, and I will lose all my money!

Come on!

Liu Xiu beat the Bai people, using the chief thinker Deng Yu and the partial general Zhu Fu.

Deng and Zhu may not have known about the Bairen guards and the deployment situation, and went straight forward with the power of the Wang's army's successive victories, thinking that it would be a piece of cake to take down the Bairen.

While discussing the advance of Wang Jun and the deployment of Li Yu, I will briefly introduce Zhu Fu. Deng Yu is everyone's acquaintance.

We introduced Zhu Fu at a time when the war was frequent, not because of his outstanding virtue and ability, but because he had a special relationship with Liu Xiu and his own personality.

Some of Liu Xiu's qualities can be reflected in him.

Zhu Fu, whose name is Shuyuan, is a native of Xiao County, Peiguo (now Xiao County, Anhui).

You may remember that when Liu Xiu was 8 years old (3 AD), his father died, so he fostered his uncle Liu Liang, who was the magistrate of Xiao County at the time, and began to go to school.

From then until he was 15 years old (10 AD), he returned to his hometown Nanyang with Liu Liang, and he spent 7 precious years of his youth in Xiao County.

It can be said that Zhu Fu and Liu Xiu are half fellow countrymen.

We are no longer able to investigate the details of Liu Xiu's life in Xiao County back then, because he was a grassroots cadre whose family was in decline and was being ostracized by the new reckless regime

Ministry of children, people did not pay much attention to him at that time.

However, this experience left a young, warm and very beautiful memory in the depths of Liu Xiu's soul.

During this period, Zhu Fu became his very good friend.

As early as the uprising, Zhu Fu came to Liu Xiu and followed him.

Liu Xiu came to Hebei on a business trip as the acting Grand Sima of the First Dynasty and appointed Zhu Fu as the secretary (chief bookkeeper) and let him partner with Feng Yi. Soon, Liu Xiutong

When he promoted him and Feng Yi, they were both named partial generals.

However, Zhu Fu does not have the virtue and talent of Feng Yi.

Deng Yu and Zhu Fu's loyalty to Liu Xiu is by no means ambiguous, but compared with Liu Xiu's other subordinates and fans, neither of them is an expert in war.

No, Deng and Zhu led their troops to attack the Bai people, and they did not understand the defense of the enemy in front, and they were violently blocked by Li Yu, and their men were defeated

Flee in all directions, leaving behind a large number of baggage.

(When Wang Lang's general Li Yutun Bairen, the Han soldiers did not know how to advance, and the front generals Zhu Fu and Deng Yu were broken by Yu, and they lost their baggage.) ）

Since the offensive and defensive battles, Liu Xiu has not failed like this for a long time.

Hearing the news of the defeat at the front, Liu Xiu immediately decided to take command in person. He gathered the fleeing soldiers and took Li Yu directly.

In Guomen, Liu Xiu commanded the soldiers to defeat Li Yu and recapture the baggage lost by Deng Yu and Zhu Fu.

Li Yu retreated back to the county seat of Bairen and strengthened his defense, but Liu Xiuqiang could not attack.

At this time, someone suggested to Liu Xiu that instead of spending time with Li Yu here and affecting Handan, it was better to attack Julu (southwest of present-day Pingxiang, Hebei) in the east and directly threaten Handan in the north.

Liu Xiu took this suggestion and immediately led a large army eastward to conquer Guang'a (present-day Longyaodong, Hebei).

In March 23 AD, Liu Xiu stationed the army in Longyao, and while resting, he further planned to destroy Wang Lang and set Hebei.
