Chapter 23 [Great Liang Empire]
Li Zhen repeatedly failed to rank in the Xiantong and Qianfu years, so he hated the scholar and said to Zhu Wen: "This generation claims to be a clear stream, and it is better to throw it into the Yellow River, and it will always be a turbid stream." ”
Zhu Wen laughed and followed. In the second year of Tianyou (905), Zhu Wen, under the instigation of Li Zhen, killed the left servant Pei Shu in Huazhou Baimayi (now Huaxian County, Henan) overnight, and killed the left servant Pei Shu, the new Qing Navy Jiedu made Dugu Loss, the right servant shot Cui Yuan, and the official department Shangshu Lu Yan,
More than 30 people, including Wang Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Chong, Zhao Chong, the servant of the Ministry of War, and Wang Zan, the squire of the Ministry of War, threw their bodies into the river, which is known as the "disaster of the white horse" in history.
Since then, the power of the Tang government has been basically swept away.
Qingzhou Wang Shifan
Wang Shifan, a native of Qingzhou. Legend has it that in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu divided the world into Xuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Kyushu. Then let the Kyushu state pastor contribute bronze and cast Jiuding,
The famous mountains and rivers in Kyushu, the strange things are engraved in the body of Jiuding, and a tripod symbolizes a state, of which Yuzhou Ding is the central tripod, and Yuzhou is the central hub.
After the deed was completed, Jiuding was concentrated in Yangcheng, the capital of the dynasty. Since then, Kyushu has become synonymous with China, and Jiuding has become a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country. Among them, Qingzhou roughly refers to the area east of Mount Tai and west of the Bohai Sea.
Its scope extends far beyond today's Qingzhou City. After the Jin Dynasty, the scope of Qingzhou was greatly reduced, and the administrative office was also moved to the territory of today's Qingzhou City, so it gradually became the name of the region.
Wang Shifan's father is called Wang Jingwu, and he was a general in Pinglu in his early years.
Pinglu was established in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (719) and ruled Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning). During the Anshi Rebellion, Pinglu was anyway. In the second year of the last century (761). Jiedu made Hou Xiyi forced by Shi Chaoyi to move south to Qingzhou. Since then, Qingzhou has the name of Pinglu.
In the first year of Guangming (880), the giant thief Hong Balang robbed his house in Qi and Di Prefectures. Disrupting social order has become a factor of social instability, and Pinglu Jiedu has ordered An Shiru to order Wang Jingwu to suppress bandits. At that time, the society collapsed, the world was declining, and the people's hearts were not ancient.
There are endless incidents of employees copying squid from their bosses in various feudal towns, and everyone is not surprised by this kind of thing. Not ashamed, but proud, Wang Jingwu then did the same,
He didn't go to eradicate the giant thieves, but turned around, hit back to the lair, and blasted the boss An Shiru away, and since then he has taken over Pinglu and become his own boss. Afterward. The unlucky boss An Shiru has worked hard and hard,
finally made a comeback, and successfully became the envoy of righteousness. But it didn't take long for the delegation of power to lead to a mutiny, and as a result, they fought among themselves. was benefited by Zhu Wen, and Yicheng became Zhu Wen's bag from then on.
It's not terrible for a person to be unlucky once. What I am afraid of is bad luck again and again, and An Shiru relies on the experience of being copied twice. successfully squeezed into the list of five generations of strange human beings. At first, Wang Jingwu surrendered to Huangchao, and soon after, he defected to Tang.
Subsequently, he sent troops to help Wang Duo, the prime minister who was the commander of all the provinces and camps, and the investment was successful, and he was officially appointed by Wang Duo as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival.
During the Dragon Period, Wang Jingwu died of illness, and the 16-year-old boy Wang Shifan took over the power.
The imperial court then sent Cui Anqian as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, and Cui Anqian was the former envoy of the Loyal Army who played polo and used his territory as a prize to win his territory. Zhang Chan sent people to meet Cui Anqian, and Wang Shifan ordered Lu Hong to lead his troops to attack Dizhou. Unexpectedly,
Lu Hong went out on the front foot, and then rebelled on the back foot, and took the soldiers and horses given to him by Wang Shifan to go back and kill Wang Shifan. When Wang Shifan learned about it, he didn't jump like thunder.
scolded Lu Hong's ancestors for eighteen generations, but sent an envoy to reward Lu Hong heavily, and said to him: "Because of my ancestors, I was elected by the army as a festival envoy, because I am still young,
Incompetent, if you look at the face of your father, let him have descendants to sacrifice, it is your mercy, if you think I will not succeed, then please leave a small life of mine, so that I can guard the tomb of my ancestors, regardless of your opinion,
I am completely at your disposal. Lu Hong saw that Wang Shifan was sincere in his words and had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, plus he thought that Wang Shifan was just a yellow-haired boy,
It is estimated that he does not have much ability, so he lost his guard and planned to go back to talk to Wang Shifan about the handover work. Wang Shifan is a hairy boy, and he really can't turn the sky on his own ability, but he found a helper, and this helper is Liu Jun. LIU Jun,
Shandong Mizhou Anqiu people, since childhood love military strategy, like to dabble in history, there are these two hobbies are amazing, all the methods of calculating people, murdering people, and striking people throughout the ages can find precedents here, so Liu Jun has the name of "one step and one hundred plans".
Wang Fan ordered Liu Jun to kill Lu Hong, and told him that after the matter is completed, you will be promoted.
Liu Jun secretly set up an ambush on the main road, and cleanly killed Lu Hong at the banquet. Then, Wang Fan rewarded the soldiers, personally led the army to capture Dizhou, killed Zhang Chan, and saw that the general trend had gone, Cui An absconded back to Chang'an.
Later, Zhu Wen sent troops to attack Yan and Yun Erzhou, and Wang Shifan, who was a neighbor of Erzhu, knew that he was invincible, so he ignored the truth of death and danger in times of peace.
Ignoring the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation that neighbors should help each other, an olive branch was thrown to Zhu Wen, and since then, the two sides have become good friends of Qin and Jin and have not attacked each other.
In 901, Han Quanzhu kidnapped Zhaozong to Fengxiang, Zhu Wen sent troops to besiege, Fengxiang fell into a desperate situation, Han Quanzhu asked Zhaozong to issue an edict to call on the surrounding Jiedu envoys to attack Zhu Wen, Zhaozong had no choice,
You can only do so. After receiving the edict, Wang Shifan wept bitterly and said to his cronies: "We were originally vassals of the emperor, and our father was in trouble, but there was no one who struggled to save him.
Whose sin is it to connive at the rebels to be so rebellious, so that the emperor loses his temple and does not come to the rescue when he is in danger? I will go to rescue the emperor today, regardless of success or failure. ”
So he sent people to contact Yang Xingmi, and asked the generals to disguise themselves as merchants, and started incidents at the same time in Bian, Xu, Yan, Yun, Qi, Yi, Henan, Meng, Hua, Hezhong, Shaanxi, Yu, Hua and other prefectures under Zhu Wen's rule. Grandpa Marx taught us that we must be good at grasping the key points in doing things.
To grasp the main contradiction, Wang Shifan was born more than 1,000 years early. Failed to hear the cosmic truth of our Marx's grandfather, his Marx's grandson. Therefore, although the war blossomed everywhere, the result was withering everywhere. The generals of Pinglu who planned to start an incident were all captured,
Only Liu Jun's department is a lone flower. Like many war movies, in order to spy on the truth and reality, Liu Cheng sent people to dress up in disguise, buy oil in foreign clothes, and sneak into Yanzhou City.
Eventually, he discovered a water-storing cellar outside the city that could be used to lure troops in. So Liu Yan led 500 troops, entered the city at night, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky. Occupied Yanzhou overnight. After entering the city, Liu Junjun had strict military discipline and did not commit any crimes in autumn, so the citizens lived in peace.
At that time, Ge Congzhou was the envoy of Yanzhou, and he led the troops outside, but his family stayed in the city. Liu Jun carried forward the noble humanitarian spirit, did not abuse Ge Congzhou's family, but provided courtesy, and ascended to meet Ge Congzhou's mother.
At the same time, select strong men to stick to the city. And to give gifts to ordinary people out of the city. Liu Jun and the soldiers shared weal and woe, ate and slept together, and defended the city together. But Ge has been from the surrounding cities for a long time and no reinforcements have arrived,
No one from outside the city could get in. The people in the city wanted to go out, but Wang Yanwen, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, couldn't bear it anymore and went out of the city. Straight to Ge Congzhou, of course. He didn't fight, he surrendered. Many of his subordinates also followed. Seeing all this,
Liu Jun was as calm as ever, as always, he only let his subordinates say two words, one was to Wang Yanwen: "Please take less people out of the deputy envoy,
If you are not sent to someone, do not bring it. One sentence was addressed to all the officers and soldiers: "Do not stop anyone who is sent out with an envoy, but those who leave without permission must be killed." ”
Is there a problem with that? It seems that there is not, but Liu Yan obviously did not send Wang Yanwen out of the city, and the person who said these two sentences shouted out at the top of his voice according to Liu Yan's instructions. As a result, when the defenders heard it, they were at a loss for what to do,
The people who escaped all stopped, looking left and right in confusion, thinking that the others were not running away, but carrying out military missions as planned.
And when Ge Congzhou heard it, he was also stunned all of a sudden, but he knew one thing very well, that is, Wang Yanwen must be a spy, so before Wang Yanwen, who threw himself into his arms, opened his mouth, he would cut him down the city with a knife. One step at a time, it really lives up to its reputation,
Two sentences solved all the crises and fooled everyone. Later, Wang Fanfan's army gradually weakened, and Ge Congzhou continued to persuade Liu Cong to surrender, Liu Cheng said: "I also want to surrender, but I can't.
I can't surrender until the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy surrenders. "This can make Wang Shifan miserable, since Liu Cheng said so, let's beat Wang Shifan first.
At that time, Zhu Youning was preparing to attack Wang Shifan.
Zhu Youning is Zhu Wen's nephew, and his father is Zhu Wen's second brother Zhu Cun, who died before he was born and made a revolution with Zhu Wen, and died in Guangzhou.
Wang Shifan wrote a letter to Li Keyong asking for help, but when Li Keyong replied to praise Wang Shifan's actions, Li Maozhen had already relented to Zhu Wen, and after slaughtering Han Quanxue, he offered the emperor to Zhu Wen for peace.
In the late spring of 903, Zhu Wen, who had his hands free, returned to Xuanwu and prepared to attack Wang Shifan in a big way, and Zhu Youning had also defeated Wang Shifu's younger brother Wang Shilu's attack on Qizhou, cutting off the connection between Wang Shifan and Liu Yan.
Wang Fan saw that the defense was difficult, so he asked his neighbor Huainan Yang Xingmi for help. Yang Xingmi sent his subordinate Wang Maozhang to help.
Wang Maozhang and Wang Shifan's other younger brother, Laizhou Assassin Wang Shizhu, jointly captured Mizhou. But by this time, Zhu Youning had already captured Bochang and Dengzhou. Wang Shifan led the sergeants of Deng and Laizhou to set up fences to resist the enemy.
Zhu Youning defeated the Dengzhou soldiers first, but he also suffered a serious loss of troops. Wang Shifan and Wang Maozhang took the opportunity to join forces to counterattack and killed Zhu Youning. Later, Zhu Wen personally led an army to attack Wang Shifan and Wang Maozhang, and the two sides did not win or lose, but the labor dispatch workers were never their own employees.
Don't give a good job, at this time Wang Maozhang thought that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, so he withdrew the army at night, and Zhang Xun, the general of Yang Xing's secret department who had taken over Mizhou, also evacuated, so Wang Shifan lost foreign aid. At that time, Wang Shifan still had an army of more than 100,000 and high morale.
The generals asked for a decisive battle with Zhu Wen. But after repeated failures, the reinforcements went again, and his younger brother Wang Shike also became a prisoner of the other party's prison, Wang Shifan was disheartened and decided to sue for peace.
He sent Li Siye, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and his younger brother Wang Shiyue to ask for surrender, and left Wang Shilu as a hostage. At that time, Zhu Wen was afraid that Li Maozhen, who had recovered his vitality, would come to take revenge.
So he accepted Wang Shifan's surrender and reappointed him as the queen of Pinglu, but sent his own generals to take over Dengzhou, Laizhou, Zizhou, Dizhou and other places, so that Wang Shifan could only actually control Qingzhou.
Liu Yan also led Yanzhou to surrender under the orders of Wang Shifan. Ge Congzhou was both grateful and admired for this opponent, so he especially recommended Liu Jun to Zhu Wen.
said that he had the talent of a general, and prepared a good horse in brocade clothes for him to invite him to Kaifeng, Liu Yan said: "Thank you for your kindness, but before receiving the will of the king of Liang's pardon, you took a fat horse and wore a fur coat,
Forgive me for not daring to obey my fate", so he rode a donkey in plain clothes and swayed all the way to Kaifeng. With the recommendation of a powerful general, Zhu Wen also attached great importance to Liu Jun and sent someone to give him a crown and belt, and Liu Jun said: "I am a person who has been imprisoned for a crime.
The request is tied to the view". Zhu Wen resolutely did not allow it. After meeting, Zhu Wen soothed him with kind words and gave him good wine, and Liu Jun said that he had a small amount of wine and could not drink more. Zhu Wen said: "How big is your amount of attacking Yanzhou." Juwen thinks he's a genius,
Appointed him as the capital of Yuancong. At that time, Zhu Wen's generals were like clouds, and they were all old teams who followed him all the way to the southern and northern wars.
And Liu Jun, as a general, suddenly became the head of the generals, accepted the generals' salutes, and was calm, Zhu Wen looked at him more and more. Soon, he was promoted to stay in the queen of Dunzhou,
Since then, Liu Jun's official fortune has been prosperous. Liu's story has come to an end for the time being, and his story will continue to be introduced later. But now we're going to look at the reasons for Liu's success.
First of all, he is indeed talented himself, so he has been recognized by others. Secondly, he was a good man, loyal to his superiors, kind to his colleagues, and kind to his enemies,
There is always room for doing things, and he stops in moderation and does not rush to kill, so he was recommended by Ge Congzhou and accepted by his colleagues.
Again, he is not arrogant and gives people a sense of modesty and prudence, so he finally let the bosses let down their vigilance,
He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. We have reason to believe that Liu Jun's art of dealing with the world was practiced by him after absorbing countless lessons from his predecessors in the history books. So, dicks, don't play online games all day long and watch fantasy and play dota, study like Liu Jun, and take a good look at history books.
Speaking of Wang Shifan, after he surrendered, Li Zhen was ordered to welcome him back to Bianzhou for another appointment, and before leaving, Zhu Wen said to him: "Wang Shifan has surrendered,
I want to ask the emperor to let him serve elsewhere, and you will work hard for me and explain my meaning to him. After Li Zhen arrived in Qingzhou, Wang Shifan handed over to Li Zhen the seals of the Jiedu envoy and the observation envoy, as well as the account books and keys.
But Wang Shifan suspected that Zhu Wen wanted to harm him by transferring him elsewhere, so he cried and begged Li Zhen to spare the lives of his whole family, and Li Zhen said to him in his heart: "Doesn't the prince know about Zhang Xiu in the past? At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu repeatedly went against Cao Cao, and Cao Gong did not harm him. (To be continued......)
