Chapter 11: The Rebellion of Chen Feng (2)
After three days of rain, Chang'an's baggage troops set off first. On the other day, the 30,000 troops who were gathered together in Chang'an Jingzhong went out of the east gate to prepare for departure, the flag was half rolled, the horn was blown high, and dozens of powerful generals such as Zhou Bo, Fan Xu, Guan Ying, and Li Shang rode high-headed horses and waited for Liu Bang under the city gate. Liu Bang wore a bronze helmet and a suit of armor and went out of the city majestically, Xiao He, Empress Lu, and the prince followed, and Zhou Bo and others all dismounted and saluted.
Liu Bangfu Xiao He instructed him to guard Guanzhong, assist the prince, no matter how big or small it is, and decide according to the situation, if there is something that cannot be solved, he can discuss with Empress Lu to implement it. Xiao He gave up his hand.
Liu Bang stepped aside, stroked his back and whispered, "I don't know when the rebellion of Chen Feng will be calmed down, and during the period when I sent troops to Guandong, Guanzhong was handed over to you." I have taken a lot of troops with me, and the pass is very empty, so you can pay attention. I have explained to Xiao He that if there is a major incident, I can discuss with you to solve it. Empress Lu nodded, "I know." Suddenly grabbed Liu Bang's wrist, looked at Liu Bang and asked eagerly, "There are generals in the customs who can quell the rebellion of Chen Xuan, why did you personally go east?" Liu Bang looked at Lu Hou with an anxious look and seemed to care about his physical condition, Liu Bang knew that his physique was poor, but he pretended to chuckle and beat his chest to Lu Hou, "Ryoma spirit, don't worry about my body." Empress Lu held Liu Bang's arm and said solemnly, "Han Xin is at home, why don't you let him lead troops to pacify Chen Xuan?" Liu Bang's smile gradually retracted, and he approached Lu Hou and said solemnly, "It rained for a few days, and I summoned Han Xin to let him lead his troops to pacify Chen Xuan, but Han Xin insisted that he was sick and not suitable for traveling. I can't force it. Empress Lu gritted her teeth with a solemn face. Liu Bang said, "If Han Xin doesn't go, I can't calm Chen Xuan?" Han Wangxin and Yan Wang Zang Di, weren't they all pacified by me personally? The Marquis of Huaiyin had a shelf that he had to do, and at this time he wanted to come, and I still needed to consider whether to take him. Liu Bang said this completely to dispel Empress Lu's worries, so he made a very relaxed appearance.
Empress Lu didn't dare to relax at all, always with a solemn face, and instructed Liu Bang, "Chen Xuan's forces have spread all over Hedong and Hebei, and they are unstoppable. Thou shalt not lead the city alone from the generals, for it is no longer your own work to conquer the city, but it is better to sit in the middle of the battle. Liu Bang laughed with a 'poof', "I don't attack the city, why do I go to Handan?" Chen Feng must have expected that I would be the Emperor Taishang's funeral and would not personally lead the troops to come to the crusade, and my appearance in Hebei would definitely make Chen Feng's army feel very confused. Chen Feng is anti-me, I can go. Empress Lu took a long breath, and after thinking about it again and again, he felt that Liu Bang's words were reasonable, and nodded slightly. Suddenly, Empress Lu's eyes flowed, and she hesitated repeatedly, and finally opened her eyes and asked Liu Bang solemnly, "The poisoning of the Emperor Taishang, if it is found that there is another person who poisoned him, what if?" Liu Bang immediately had a serious face, a pair of old eyes like knives and gritted his teeth, "Punish the crime of complicity and rebellion, dare to kill the emperor, and the clan is still small." Empress Lu's eyes flashed, and she asked calmly, "If you find out this person, you will kill it?" Liu Bang said without thinking about it at all, "I don't want him to live for half a day." A smile crossed Empress Lu's face, and then she regained her composure and said to Liu Bang, "Don't worry, I will often go to worship the Emperor." Liu Bang attached his hand and patted Lu Hou on the shoulder.
Liu Bang and Empress Lu gave each other some instructions, Liu Bang passed by the prince's side, the prince did not dare to look up at Liu Bang because of the poisoning of the emperor, only to see Liu Bang's black boots stop under his eyes, the prince quickly arched his hands and bowed deeply, "Father, father." The prince trembled as he spoke. Liu Bang is also angry with the prince because of the emperor's affairs, and now the prince is trembling and scared and looks quite unlikable to Liu Bang, Liu Bang hates iron and steel but it is not good to provoke Empress Lu when he is about to leave Beijing, and if she is displeased, others will be implicated, at this time, Chang'an will also be inseparable from Empress Lu's guard, so Liu Bang thought about it again and again and squeezed out a smile, patted the prince on the shoulder, "Take care of the country." With that, there was nothing else to say, and he turned and walked towards the car. The prince hurriedly responded, "Son, son, son knows." When he looked up, he saw that his father was already in the car in the distance.
Li Shang led his troops forward, and Zhou Bo and Ying escorted Liu Bang's chariot left and right, and behind the chariot was the mighty infantry following closely. All the way mighty and did not dare to stop, take the road to Shangdang, but saw that the outside of Shangdang City was surrounded by water, the rebels only cared about surrounding the officials and people in Shangdang City, but relaxed the reinforcements from Guanzhong, Liu Bang left Chai General Chen Wu 5,000 people to attack the rebels besieging Shangdang at night, and he took a large army to bypass the towering Taihang Mountains, across Tangtang Zhangshui, although he encountered many small rebels along the way, but asked Zhou Bo and others to clean up effortlessly. Liu Bang tensed his nerves all the way and sent people to observe the stationing of the rebels and the terrain in Hebei that could be used to fight, as well as the movement rules of Chen Xuan's rebels and the current location of his subordinates. Carefully all the way until Handan, Liu Bang relaxed and laughed a few times, and was immediately welcomed into the palace of King Zhao by Zhou Chang. Liu Bang immediately asked Zhou Chang where the soldiers led by the princes and kings of the world were gathered, and Zhou Chang was stunned and said that he had not seen the kings or the armies of the vassal states. Liu Bang's face immediately sank and he was speechless, thinking that he had recruited the world's soldiers in Handan in Chang'an, but today he heard Zhou Chang say that he had not seen a soldier, Liu Bang was angry, he was not happy and very angry, he kicked the door open with a black face and entered the inner hall and sat on the mat and breathed. Zhou Chang, who is usually upright and good at direct advice, did not dare to speak casually at this time, and waited aside. "Slap-", Liu Bang was angry when he took the case, and the bamboo slips on the case trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "It is said that the king is the head of state, and the minister is the humerus, if there is trouble today, where is the minister of the humerus?" Liu Bang was furious, Longmu became popular, overturned all the bamboo slips on the case, and said to himself, "Yan Chuqi is still far away, maybe the soldiers have not arrived, it can be forgiven, Liang Guoben is not far from the southeast of Zhao State, and it will be half a day's journey to Handan, Peng Yue will not come to the Hume Han room?" Liu Bang roared, "Zhou Changโ" Zhou Chang immediately approached and surrendered his hands to obey the order. Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Send someone to go to Liang Guoyi, invite Peng Yue, and send him to lead his troops north to crusade against Chen Feng in the near future." "Yes." Zhou Chang withdrew to arrange this matter, and someone went south to Liang that night.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bang had dinner and summoned the generals in front of him, and all the generals were ready to fight a few battles with Chen Feng's rebels. The Art of War: The terrain, the help of the soldiers. Expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger from far and near, and the way of the general. You see that Chen Feng is not south of Handan and blocks Zhangshui, so easily let me enter Handan, and his people and soldiers lack wisdom, so you know that he can't do things. The generals nodded yes to each other.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Chang gave up his hand with a panicked face, and eagerly persuaded, "Don't be careless, Qu Rebellion, Dongyuan, Xiangguo, and Julu have all been invaded by rebels, and twenty of the twenty-five cities in Changshan County have been pulled out, please kill the captain of Changshan." The generals were all noisy about this, and they all went out of their shifts with excitement and asked for orders to fight the enemy. Liu Bang immediately stopped to eat, raised his hand slightly to signal the generals not to act urgently, and after a little thought, he asked Zhou Chang, "Is the captain the opposite?" "Not really." Liu Bang nodded slightly and said, "They will be coerced, not their own intentions, they are not guilty." After that, he began to eat again, and asked Zhou Chang, "Can the person you choose who can be a military general have results?" Zhou Chang arched his hand and said, "There are four people who are already waiting outside the hall." Liu Bang was happy, let Zhou Chang pass it into the hall, after the four entered the hall, Liu Bang stared at the four people in front of him, although they were men, they all had no backbone, although they were not rickets, but they were not tigers and bears, and after reading eight times, they felt that the four of them did not have the temperament and ability of military generals, and were only slightly more violent than ordinary people. Liu Bang was angry and laughing, pinched his forehead slightly and looked at Zhou Chang helplessly, and Zhou Chang stood aside with a loyal face. Liu Bang didn't want to be angry with Zhou Chang, so he transferred his anger to the four people in front of him, and scolded the four of them, "Can you wait for a kid to be a general?" I'm ...... Let's go. "I didn't bother to scold them. The four of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. "That's it, I'm going to seal the thousands of households, and they're all generals." Liu Bang waved his hand, but the four of them were named generals of a thousand households in the blink of an eye.
Hearing that Liu Bang had no reason to appoint four people who had no merit as generals, Liu Bang's left and right generals all advised, "From Shu Han to the defeat of Xiang Ji, there are no people who have failed to succeed, and today these four people are specially sealed, dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the merit of the four people in front of you to be awarded?" Liu Bang smiled and comforted the generals left and right, "Feier and the others know." Chen Feng rebelled, several surnames in the Zhao Dynasty and the two places, I recruited the world's soldiers in Chang'an with Yu Yu, and the generals also knew that there was no one who had not arrived so far, and I brought only 30,000 soldiers from the pass to resist Chen Feng and the Hu army, thinking about it, only the soldiers in Handan City were available, why should I spare 4,000 households and not comfort the children of Zhao State? The generals suddenly understood, "The emperor is wise." Liu Bang smiled, his eyes seemed to see Le Yi in the Warring States Period, Le Yi left Zhao into Yan after the rebellion of King Zhao Wuling's sand dunes, helped King Yan Zhao revitalize Yan and defeated Qi, won the trust of King Yan Zhao, after the death of King Yan Zhao, King Yan Hui succeeded to the throne but because of the discord between the people and replaced Le Yi with a robbery, Le Yi was afraid that he would return to Yan and return to Zhao again, King Zhao Hui was overjoyed and courteous, and sealed Le Yi in Wangguanjin, looking at the kings. Liu Bang was stunned and muttered to himself, "I don't see you looking at Junle Yaqing back then." The generals on the left and right all looked at each other, as if they were not convinced.
Liu Bang ignored the general, raised his eyes and asked Zhou Chang, "Does Le Yi still have descendants in Zhao now?" Zhou Chang thought about it and said, "When the minister visited Zhao Guo at the beginning, he specially visited Le Yi's hometown Lingshou, and the family was mostly defeated. Liu Bangchang nodded with an 'oh', "There are no more than three generations of wealth and wealth." I have a heart, the Le clan Shaoxu Kun is not in decline when I am in power, and Uncle Le is temporarily the Marquis of Dongxiang and is named Hua Chengjun. Zhou Chang arranged this. Zhou Chang once again surrendered his order.
"Report-", between the discussions, a small soldier rushed outside the hall, and when he came in, he panicked and reported, "Your Majesty, Chen Xian's rebels have occupied Qinghe counties again, and they are bound to invade Handan." The report of the little soldier immediately stimulated the generals' hearts to ask for war, and they all went out to ask for battle. Liu Bang felt slightly flustered in his chest, closed his eyes and calmed down a little and asked the little soldier, "Are the generals mighty?" Who are the generals? The little soldier said, "Wang Huang Man, Qiuchen and others were all businessmen in the past. Liu Bang slapped the case and laughed, "Hehe, if you think about it, I can solve it." If you can buy the department, you will try to buy it with financial resources, and the businessmen love money, so that they will go to Chen Xuan. โ
