"But I was negligent, this time to quell the rebellion, but there is a military situation-related matter, there is no need to ask for instructions to report, it all depends on the general to hold the overall situation. Liu Huai patted his forehead and granted Chu Yang's request.

On the same day, he set out from the palace to prepare enough soldiers and horses to the military field, and drove 50,000 soldiers and horses to march for seven days to 80 miles away from the city of Zhuzhou, and at the beginning of the day, Zhou Qian was released from the prison car, and called people to the front of the commander's car, saying: "I will let you go back today......

"Thank you Jun Hou Da En!" Before Chu Yang finished speaking, Zhou Qian knelt on the ground to thank him.

Being interrupted made Chu Yang a little annoyed, and he stretched out his hand and waved angrily: "Slow thanks!"

Seeing Chu Yang's murderous face, Zhou Qian, who had just been happy for a moment, suddenly looked like a frosted eggplant, and his whole person wilted, and he didn't dare to say a word, he only kept his movements and didn't dare to move.

"Let you go back, just for you to make meritorious contributions!" Chu Yang knew that Zhou Qian should be used, and it was not good to be too fierce, so he put away his anger and stopped for a moment, and waited for his tone to calm down a little before continuing: "If it is usual, you will definitely be torn apart! But you are really for your family's life, not really against Your Majesty, so you will be left with your life, and after the matter is completed, you need to be grateful to Your Majesty!"

Enwei and cast, so that Zhou Qian was moved to tears, kneeling to Chuyang and constantly kowtowing to thank him: "Please also ask the prince to command, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and Qian has no two hearts!"

"If he asked who the commander of the army was, and when he commanded the troops and horses, he replied that he did not know his name, and the soldiers and horses were only 30,000 because of the tight border defense. You go around again and again in order to make a profit. ”

"If he asks that even if the border defense is tight, it shouldn't be only 30,000 hours, how should the villain answer?" Zhou Qian hurriedly asked in order to be cautious.

"If he asks this question, you will answer that the domestic army has been transferred to Qizhou by me, and is waiting to send troops from Qizhou to Qin. Half of the 30,000 were also urgently called from the Imperial Guards. Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction, he could know that he took the initiative to ask questions, which showed that Zhou Qian had already paid attention to this matter.

After hearing this, Zhou Qian firmly remembered in his heart that he gave a salute to Chuyang Shen, and then twenty cavalrymen stepped forward to take him to Lingzhou.

Entering the city and calling the city gate to pass in, Duan Ying heard the news in order to win people's hearts, released Zhou Qian's family early, and went out of the city alone to greet each other, Zhou Qian immediately stepped forward to worship Duan Ying, and the two entered the city to assassinate the Shifu.

When he went up to the hall, Zhou Qian saw that the person sitting was one of the two rebellious princes, Liu Xin, the former king of the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Qian hated everyone present for being coerced by his imprisoned family, but at the moment Chuyang arranged an important errand for him, he didn't dare to put the emotions in his heart on the surface, so he secretly pinched his thigh, straightened his clothes and stepped forward to Liu Xin: "Meet His Royal Highness Prince Xin." ”

"Zhou Bei drove back, can you bring back good news?" Liu Xin said pretending to be happy.

Zhou Qian explained what Chu Yang gave him, and added a description that was more convincing to Liu Xin, and cheered Duan Ying on the spot as if the current situation was really as simple as Zhou Qian said.

I have to say that Liu Xin still has a little more brains than others, and at the moment when Zhou Qian finished speaking, he didn't believe the content 100%, not that he doubted Zhou Qian, but that he suspected that the deployment of soldiers and horses in the imperial court was not so simple.

Peeking at it and finding that Liu Xin's brows were furrowed, Zhou Qian secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and his eyes rolled and hurriedly said: "Now that the imperial court soldiers and horses have passed Zhezhou and are heading to Zhenzhou, if the relocation is delayed, I am afraid that the big thing will not be guaranteed!" ”

"Wait for my letter to invite Brother Wang to come. Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, quickly nodded and wrote a letter, asking the fast horse to send it to the city of Fuzhou, where Liu Chong was.

Zhou Qian secretly calculated in his heart that the capital city of Yingzhou and the capital city of Lingzhou were adjacent to each other for only a hundred miles, and he could go back and forth in less than a day, so he could wait.

Since Liu Xin did not suspect as much as he did just now, and had already allowed Zhou Qian to pretend to invite Liu Chong to make a decision, Zhou Qian, who knew that it was not good to startle the snake, did not dare to say anything, so he could only endure and wait for Liu Chong's arrival.

At noon on the second day, Liu Chong rushed to the city of Lingzhou with two hundred cavalry, and as soon as he entered the palace, Zhou Qian was the first to bow to him in order to better gain his trust: "Minister Zhou Qian, see Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Because of Zhou Qian's word His Majesty, Liu Chong, who was a little cautious, completely relaxed his guard, and the caution on his face disappeared, and after a moment of surprise, he laughed and stepped forward to help Zhou Qian up.

Seeing this, the rest, such as Liu Xin, Duan Ying and others, also followed Zhou Qian's example and worshiped Liu Chong as the emperor.

This move made Liu Chong extremely happy, and even asked people to make dragon robes and jade belts in the state skillfully on the spot, and drank and feasted in the mansion that night, forgetting all the soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom.

Liu Chong built a platform to worship the sky on the second day, took Lingzhou and Juzhou as the fundamental self-reliance, the founding name was Jiao, changed the first year of Wenxing, proclaimed himself Emperor Jiaowen, and allowed his brother Liu Xin to be Emperor Jiaowu, and the two took power together. made Duan Ying, the former assassin of Lingzhou, the prime minister, and Lin Yi, the assassin of Lingzhou, as the captain, and Zhou Qian was directly canonized as the imperial historian because of the word "His Majesty" who drove Liu Chong to stand on his own, and the success of the imperial court's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole.

On the same day, notices were posted in the cities of the two states to recruit the sages of the world as officials.

Zhou Qian thought that Liu Chong would definitely send troops to the Han after the founding of the country, but after three days there was no movement, and his mind was suffering from the early sun in ambush. ”

Zhou Qian hurriedly stood up and said, "The minister has his own music. ”

Seeing that he was the biggest contributor to the founding of the country, Liu Chong said with joy: "Quasi-play." ”

"The new defeat of Qin and Wei, Liu Huai is anxious for quick success, and is leading the soldiers and horses of Qingyun Hou to the north, and the war in the north is tight, and the soldiers and horses in the Han are all transferred, it is the time when the soldiers and horses are empty, and there is no need to be afraid of all places, and it is a good opportunity for Changyang to send troops! The so-called God-given opportunity cannot be missed, please Your Majesty will allow the soldiers and horses to go out of Changyang, and make a great cause early!" Zhou Qian said excitedly.

"What Aiqing said is extremely true, I have the intention of sending troops. It's just that I didn't think that I should send troops to Changyang, but first went east to seize Qiaozhou, first increased the land area of our country, and then went north when the strength was strong, and only by walking slowly can we achieve great things. ”

"With Your Majesty's plan, it is indeed the most stable, but this is too prolonged, and the chaotic situation should not be like this. ”

"In Qing's opinion, what should I do?" Liu Chong nodded secretly, in the current war situation, there is indeed not much time for himself to develop slowly.
