Chapter 51: Calculations

In the summer of the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the court of the Han Dynasty became more and more treacherous because of a series of inexplicable edicts of Emperor Jing.

Taiwei Dou Ying, appointed as a general, went to Longxi County to expand the border army of 150,000, and built a city. The post of general began in the Warring States period, the Han Dynasty followed, as the highest title of the general, located on the three dukes, the secretary and below are mostly held by noble relatives, leading the army to fight and grasp the power, the position is extremely high. However, this is not a permanent title, it is a supreme military commander that will only be established in wartime, and during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Dou Ying was briefly appointed by Emperor Jing as a general to guard Xingyang and defend against the rebels of Qi and Zhao.

Analysis of Longxi County is located in Tianshui County, and Li Guang, the Taishou of Shangxian County, is transferred to the new Tianshui County Taishou. In the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang, Longxi was one of the 36 counties, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and Longxi County was the northwest barrier of the Han Dynasty, adjacent to Gyeonggi. This time, 16 counties were divided into Tianshui County, and only 11 counties remained in Longxi, and Tianshui County stubbornly held the traffic artery from Longxi County to Gyeonggi. The most bizarre thing is that Emperor Jing handed over the Xiliu Battalion to Li Guang, and ordered him to lead the Xiliu Battalion to garrison Tianshui County, and if Xiqiang or Xiongnu soldiers invaded Longxi County, they could rush to help at any time.

Lieutenant Zhidu was appointed as the Taishou of Yanmen County, rectifying border affairs and resisting the invasion of the Xiongnu south. The reason why Emperor Jing appointed Zhidu, who did not have any experience in leading the army, was largely due to the insistence of the crown prince Liu Che. As a traverser, Liu Che knew very well that Zhi Du was fully qualified for this position. In the history books, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty will also appoint Zhidu as the Taishou of Yanmen two years later. The Huns have always admired the prestige of Zhidu, and they were terrified when they learned that Zhidu was appointed as the Taishou of Yanmen. Zhidu had just arrived in Yanmen County, and the Hun cavalry retreated with the whole army, away from Yanmen. Zhizhi died, and he didn't dare to approach Yanmen County. The Xiongnu once used wood to carve a puppet in the shape of Zhidu, set up as an arrow target, so that the Hun cavalry ran and shot, and the Hun cavalry was afraid of Zhidu, and no one could shoot.

Zhou Yafu, who was idle at home, was appointed as the Taishou of Peijun and the Minister of Chu. Speaking of which, I have to introduce the situation around Peijun. In the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jiao was named the king of Chu, and the 36 counties of Donghai County, Xue County, and Pengcheng County were placed in the Chu State. Pengcheng County was the core part of the Chu State in the Han Dynasty. In the third year of Emperor Jing, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, united the kings of Wu, Zhao, Jinan, Suchuan, Jiaodong, and Jiaoxi to launch the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. After the chaos, the state of Chu should have been placed as a county, but because Emperor Jing "respected the king of Yuan" and couldn't bear to refuse his worship, he set up Liu Li as the king of Chu and enshrined Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan. Therefore, the northern counties of Pengcheng County are still Chu State, and the southern part of Pengcheng County is placed in Pei County, and Xue County of Chu State is placed in Lu State. The most important thing is that the state of Chu and Peijun were adjacent to the state of Liang, which was the only vassal state of the Han Dynasty that maintained a practical reading power after the Wu-Chu Rebellion.

In the Taiwei Mansion, Dou Ying held the edict of Emperor Jing, and his face was full of sorrow. The captain leads the general, which seems to be extremely honorable, but behind it is a hidden murderous intention.

Emperor Jing, who was in Ganquan Palace, did not send someone to send a tiger talisman, and it seemed that he had no intention of going to the altar to worship the generals. A general who does not have a tiger talisman cannot mobilize a single soldier at all. The Han Dynasty only recognized the seal but not the person, and without the tiger talisman seal, even the emperor himself could not enter the military camp, let alone transfer troops.

Dou Ying understood very well that Emperor Jing meant to let him go to work alone, and the only thing he could control was the 150,000 new army that was expanded after arriving in Longxi County. How much combat effectiveness can the 150,000 new army, and the soldiers who are used to garrison and build cities? After arriving in Longxi County, not only will he be restrained by Wu Kuai, the Taishou of Longxi, but also the fine willow camp led by Li Guang, the Taishou of Tianshui County, will be eyeing him. But if Dou Ying acts rashly, the destruction will only be overnight.

If you don't go, you can't afford the crime of disrespecting the will, and you can only rebel. Now Lieutenant Zhi is taking refuge in the royal leisure villa in Nanshan, and the northern army defending the Beijing Division is temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Cheng, which seems to have an opportunity. But Dou Ying, as a cousin, knows Emperor Jing very well, he is definitely not as gentle and frugal as he looks, and he knows better than anyone how Chao Cuo died. Dou Ying believed that Emperor Jing had definitely left an endless backhand waiting for him in Chang'an City.

What's more, now that the abolished prince Liu Rongyuan is in Linjiang Kingdom, once something happens, how can he support the new emperor? can't take advantage of the righteousness, Dou Ying is a relative, and if he wants to defend Chang'an City, it's a fool's dream. How many years have passed since the era of Lu Hou's chaotic government and the dictatorship of his relatives? Now the ministers in Chang'an City, even if they are mostly Dou Ying and his family, will not support him to usurp the Liu family's country, and may even kill him on the spot.

Dou Ying weakly lowered his shoulders, summoned the staff of the house, and gave him a careful advice. In the next few days, Dou Ying closed the door to thank the guests, did not contact anyone privately, and refused the send-off of many friends and guests, and quietly took more than a dozen personal guards to Longxi County in a foggy early morning. Now that he has decided to admit defeat, he should simply do it thoroughly, maybe the emperor can still remember the love of the year and leave the whole family a way to live.

As for Zhou Yafu, he had already set off, with many private soldiers in the house, wearing stars and moons all the way, galloping wildly, and now he can see Suiyang, the capital of Liang State.

"Father, you are old, and you had a serious illness a few years ago, but you can't afford this toss." Zhou Yafu's eldest son, Zhou Kuang, handed over the water bladder and persuaded him.

Zhou Yafu blew his beard and glared: "The stinky boy knows a fart!" The old man is only fifty and six this year, thinking that in the year of Lian Po Huajia, he can still fight rice and ten catties of meat, how can the old man be inferior to him? ! ”

"That's not what the child meant, but there are some things in his heart that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Zhou Yafu glanced at his son, who wanted to speak and stopped, he was very annoyed, the man who couldn't look at the twisted posture in his life, and shouted: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

Zhou Kuang had a bitter face, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "The child thinks that Your Majesty may have a lot of calculations this time......

Although Zhou Yafu is a reckless man, after all, he has been rolling in the court for decades, of course he understands what Zhou Kuang means, but he waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's just that I want to borrow the old man's hand to clean up Liu Wu's kid, as long as my eyes are not blind, who can't see it?" ”

Zhou Kuang was very speechless, his father was surnamed this one, he dared to say anything with a big grin, he usually suffered a lot, Jing Yanjing was often so angry with him that he was angry. When the Xiongnu general Wei Lu and the other five people returned to the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing was very happy and wanted to make them marquis to encourage others to submit to the Han Dynasty, but Zhou Yafu objected: "If these people who betrayed the country are made marquis, then how can we punish those ministers who do not observe the festival in the future?" Emperor Jing was very unhappy when he heard it: "The words of the waiting are pedantic and unusable!" Then he made all five of them marquis. Zhou Yafu was so angry that he resigned due to illness, and Emperor Jing also approved his request.

Now Emperor Jing suddenly reactivated Zhou Yafu, and also gave him a secret edict of "acting cheaply", making it clear that he wanted to use his arrogant and vulgar surname to deal with King Liang. You must know that the Han Dynasty's control over the army was very strict, and even if the general who led the army had a tiger charm and wanted to enter the army, he must also get the emperor's edict. The secret edict of "acting cheaply" gave Zhou Yafu great authority to act arbitrarily and arbitrarily, allowing him to act arbitrarily.

Zhou Kuang was very worried, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, after all, King Liang is the son of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty does not dare to disobey the Queen Mother in the open, but secretly let Father act cheaply, which is self-evident and sinister. Even if Father doesn't spare himself, he has to think more about his clan. ”

Zhou Yafu nodded, indicating that he understood. During the Wu Chu Rebellion, the Liang State was in danger, and Emperor Jing ordered Zhou Yafu to send troops to rescue, but secretly ordered the troops to stay. After the rebellion was put down, Emperor Jing was forced by the pressure of the Empress Dowager to punish Zhou Yafu symbolically. Now Emperor Jing is going to borrow a knife to kill people again, but he is afraid that he will come to say that the rabbit will die and the dog will cook, so he has to prevent it.

Zhou Yafu looked at Suiyang City in the distance, sighed slightly, and continued to fight his horse. Everyone else thought he was hot-blooded, but they didn't know that he had already seen what Emperor Jing meant, but he really had to do it. If the emperor does what he wants, it is not known what the future result will be; If it is disrespectful to the will, or if the yang is disobeyed, there will only be the disaster of destroying the family in front of you.

In the Ganquan Palace, Emperor Jing picked up the newspaper and said with a slight smile: "Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu are interesting, and they don't have to worry about it." ”

When Liu Che heard this, his face was full of jokes: "It's just that I want to clear up the matter of attacking and killing my son, but it's a secret, and I can't find out who did it." ”

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said quietly: "That's it, if you work hard and complain from now on, after the matter is completed, spare the lives of their people." ”
