Chapter 0112: Peng Yue is not guilty, and King Liang deserves to die

Liu Bang's words immediately provoked everyone in the hall to hurriedly lower their heads, and they no longer had the intention of admonishing them.

With just that sentence, Liu Bang had already expressed his meaning very clearly.

- I didn't ask you if Peng Yue was guilty, what I asked was: Should the princes with different surnames sit in the position of King Liang!

If this question was raised five years ago, when Han Zuo was standing up, then the answer is self-evident.

Even in order to temporarily stabilize the strategic situation in the Kwantung region, Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Qu Rebellion, Chen Ping, and even Liu Jing (Lou Jing), the Marquis of Jianxin, would inevitably persuade Liu Bang to 'focus on the overall situation', stabilize the Kwantung region with the Snake first, and concentrate the main attention on the north, the Xiongnu north of the Great Wall.

But now, the Han family has experienced a Han-Hun Pingcheng Battle, and successively quelled the rebellions of princes with different surnames such as Yan Wang Zang Di, Linjiang Wang Gongwei, Han Wangxin, and a series of changes such as Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, who was demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping, and Han Xin, the king of Chu, was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, the answer to this question has changed.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

If you want to concentrate on attacking the Xiongnu in the north, the first thing the Han family must ensure is the stability of the Kanto!

At this stage, the Han family has already reached a consensus on the solution of 'complete stability in the Kanto region'.

——Except for the Wu family, the king of Changsha, who is a descendant of the king of Wu, the rest of the princes with different surnames should not exist in the land of Kanto!

In this way, the answer to Liu Bang's question is obvious.

Peng Yue, the founding father of the People's Republic of China, who has made outstanding contributions, should not be treated harshly.

But King Liang, who is a prince with a different surname, must be cleared!

At the very least, like Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, he abolished the king as a marquis and placed under house arrest in Chang'an.

Just as the heroes in the tent made up their minds and considered the wording, they saw Liu Bang's still tall and majestic figure, and slowly got up from the seat above.

When he paced to the center of the big tent, Liu Bang's face was no longer as angry as Fang Cai.

In its place, there is a sense of sacred mission that attaches importance to national affairs and the overall situation.

"Since the establishment of Han Zuo, my henchmen are in great trouble, and there is only one place!"

With a low roar in a thick tone, Liu Bang raised his hand sharply and pointed to the north.

"Northern Barbarian Huns!"

"The thought of my life, only to drive the horse outside the Yanmen Pass, to step on the residence of the barbarians, so that when they see the Han riding they do not dare to bend the bow, the Han people do not dare to straighten their waists in front of them!"

Qi Yu Xuanang declared his lifelong wish, Liu Bang finally took a deep breath, withdrew his fingers pointing to the north, put his hands behind his back, and his face was slightly gloomy.

"However, since the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, the king of Han Xinbei formed the Xiongnu, and when the Han and Hun Pingcheng fought a battle, I already understood."

"——If you want to fulfill my long-cherished wish, the first person to bear the burden is not to entangle the army to the north of the border wall, but to go to the princes with different surnames in the eastern part of the country, so as not to have the story of the Han King Xinmayi surrendering and condemning the Han to surrender to Hu!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Zhu Gongyan said that Peng Yue, the king of Liang, has made outstanding achievements and is loyal."

"Could it be that this is the case, so as to ensure that he has no second thoughts in the future, and has no intention of following in the footsteps of Han Wangxin?"

"Can anyone dare to be born, guarantee Yu in front of me with his life, and say that Peng Yue, the king of Liang, will never rebel until he dies?"

asked a question a little violently, and without waiting for everyone in the battle to give an answer, Liu Bang shook his head to himself.

"——Peng Yue has made outstanding achievements, how is he better than the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"In the past, I led the army to resist Xiang Yu's Chu soldiers, if there was no Huaiyin Marquis, I could have won the victory?"

"Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, can kill himself in Wujiang, and he has no face for Jiangdong's father?"

"But even so, isn't the Marquis of Huaiyin also the opposite of Chu, and degraded the king as a marquis for me?"

"Today, the princes have come here with me, isn't it because Chen Feng and the thieves are instigated by the Marquis of Huaiyin, and they want to rebel and make trouble?"

asked with a sad face, and Liu Bang's pale hair couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"——Peng Yue is loyal, how about Han Wangxin in the past?"

"As the grandson of King Han Xiang, after Ji's surname is Han, King Han believes that he will be crowned as the king, and continue Ji Han Sheji."

"But in the end, Han Wangxin also destroyed the dignity of the nobles and became a lackey of the barbarians?"

"Even now, the king of Han and Han in the past also inherited the order of the chief Di Maodun and made trouble outside the north wall of my Han family!!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang finally closed his eyes with a sad face, and let out a long sigh.

"Since the beginning of abundance, what I have seen and heard is a 'loyal minister and righteous man', which is really like the Qing of crossing the river."

"When he was ordered to be in danger, he risked helping Qin Sheji not to die, and then sacrificed Xiang Yu, and was named Qin Shaofu Zhanghan of King Yong;"

"I was ordered by the Lord to lead the army to pursue, but because of the idea of 'raising my own respect', I was able to escape from the tiger's mouth, and the Chu general Ding Gu;"

"There are also those who first rebelled against Xiang Chu, then rebelled against Liu Han, and finally died in the capricious Wei Wang Leopard······"

Sighing bitterly, Liu Bang slowly lowered his head and looked at Zhou Chang, who was not far from his side, obviously wanting to say something, but didn't know how to speak.

"The meaning of the Marquis of Fenyin, I understand."

"In the past, Gao Jinghou Zhou Ke adhered to Xingyang, and Peng Yue complemented each other and helped each other, so he had a very personal relationship."

"Now that Gao Jinghou is dead, the Marquis of Fenyin thinks that Gao Jinghou is the younger brother, and he should return to protect the deceased brother's old friend."

As he spoke, Liu Bang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed and sat back down, although his eyes looked at Zhou Chang, the words in his mouth were clearly said to everyone in the tent.

"In the autumn and July, when the Emperor Taishang died, and when I appointed the Marquis of Fenyin as Zhao Xiang, I made it clear that in the next few years, the weight of the court should be the princes with different surnames in addition to Liang and Huainan."

"And the responsibility of the Marquis of Fenyin, it is a few years later, when my relatives send a letter to the valley, and when I have asked the princes with different surnames who are not ministers, I will guard the north wall to prevent the northern barbarian Huns from blocking my plan!"

"Therefore, I think that Peng Yue is not guilty;"

"King Ranliang, you must not stay!"

"Does the Marquis of Fenyin think so?"

With a meaningful question, Liu Bang turned his head sideways and looked at the people in the tent again.

"Princess, what do you think?"

Hearing Liu Bang's undisguised calculation, everyone in the tent thought for a long time, and finally came to the center from both sides of the tent and bowed their hands to Liu Bang.

"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's edict······"

Seeing this, Liu Bang's face was a little worried, and he nodded solemnly.

"In this case, if Peng Yue, the king of Liang, intends to rebel, he should be investigated by Tingwei himself."

As he spoke, Liu Bang raised his head slightly, looked at everyone in the hall for a week, and finally locked his eyes on a 'young' general who was more than thirty years old.

"Therefore, the court lieutenant is not harmful, and he has been appointed by me as the right general, leading the soldiers of Jing and Chu, I am afraid that he will be flawless."

"Then General Wei Wang Tian will go to it and thoroughly investigate the intention of Peng Yue, the king of Liang, to rebel!"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Wang Tianqi was about to make a promise, when he saw Zhao Yao, the imperial historian who had been standing silently beside Liu Bang and had not said a word from beginning to end, stood up and bowed to Liu Bang with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you think that this matter should be more appropriate in the future?"

said this in a calm tone, and seeing Liu Bang's brows frowning slightly, Zhao Yao hurriedly bowed again.

"Your Majesty, not long after the turmoil in Chen, winter is coming; His Majesty drove the expedition in person, in order to calm the rebellion of Chen Xuan, and feared that Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, were all watching Yu Dai and Zhao. ”

"At this time, if Your Majesty sends General Wang to Liangdi, wanting to offend Peng Yue with 'rebellion', I am afraid that Wang Yingbu of Huainan will jump over the wall in a hurry!"

"If this is the case, it is Chen Xian's chaos in the Dai, Zhao, Yingbu rebellion in Huainan, Your Majesty's north and south can not be taken care of, and then when Chen Xuanqian's donkey skills are poor, or when Han Wangxin's story is followed, the Huns and Hu cavalry are ······"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yao's words were quietly stagnant, and his gaze at Liu Bang also had a little deep meaning.

"Your Majesty, dividing troops in the face of a big war is a taboo for soldiers?"

Hearing Zhao Yao's analysis, everyone in the tent couldn't help but be a little surprised.

- Fortunately, the minister can also have such an opinion?

While everyone was thinking, Liu Bang also nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled slightly meaningfully, and looked sideways at Zhao Yao beside him

"Peng Yue's matter, could it be that the Imperial Doctor has another high opinion?"

Seeing Zhao Yao smiling shyly, he said: "I don't dare to call myself high-minded, only a little foolish for Your Majesty's consideration······"

After a little politeness, Zhao Yao turned sideways, bowed to everyone in the tent, and immediately told all his thoughts.

"Today, Chen Feng is in chaos in Dai and Zhao, although His Majesty Xingyan, Qi, Jing, and Chu, and the troops in Heguan are attacking, but if Chen Feng leads the Huns and Hu Qi to help, and quelling the chaos, I am afraid it will not be the work of March and May."

"That being the case, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, should stabilize their hearts first; Wait for Chen Feng to calm down, and then make plans. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yao couldn't help but turn around and bow to Liu Bang again.

"Your Majesty just said that with General Wei Wang Tianqi as the court lieutenant, and to investigate Peng Yue's rebellion, but if this is the case, I am afraid that Peng Yue has no objection, and he should have no choice but to raise troops."

"Minister's will, Your Majesty can temporarily settle down Peng Yue's affairs and focus on Chen Xuan's troubled affairs; When the chaos is settled, in the name of 'rewarding the merit of quelling the chaos', the general of the guard is moved to Liang Guoxiang. ”

"General Wei is Liang Xiang because of his merits, and Peng Yue is defenseless; And General Wei moved to Liang Xiang, so he could secretly collect Peng Yue's crimes, and he could also use Liang Xiang's name to strip Peng Yue's soldiers and horses. ”

"In this way, when General Wei has raised enough evidence of Peng Yue's crimes, and is in charge of the soldiers and horses of Liang State, His Majesty wants to condemn Peng Yue again, it will only be a matter of an edict and three or two court captains and jailers······"

After saying that, Zhao Yao bowed his hand deeply, and immediately retreated to Liu Bang's side, reverting to the previous appearance of 'His Majesty's personal guard'.

Savoring Zhao Yao's words, the hearts of everyone in the hall were unprecedentedly facing Zhao Yao, the 'fortunate minister'.

Aside from qualifications, meritorious deeds, etc., just in the strategy shown in Peng Yue's matter, Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, is by no means inferior to Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping!

Listen to what Zhao Yao said?

- If you send someone to catch it directly, Peng Yue will jump off the wall in a hurry, even if he didn't plan to rebel, in order to survive, he can only do it!

So what to do?

In the name of 'promotion due to merit', Wei General Wang Tianqi was appointed as the prime minister of Liang Guo, while collecting (fabricating) evidence of Peng Yue's rebellion, and at the same time justifiably depriving Peng Yue of his military power!

When the evidence of Peng Yue's rebellion is collected (fabricated) completely, and the military power of Liang State is also controlled by Liang Xiang Wang Tianqi, then Peng Yue can be rectified without much effort······

"Zhao Yao is ······"

"In the future, stay away!"

"Neither shall it be offended!"

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yao, and then quietly lowered their heads.

It was not until this moment that the dozens of founding fathers in the hall who had made outstanding achievements and made great contributions in the process of the establishment of the Han Zuo Dynasty finally returned to the future.

- Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, is definitely not a simple fortunate minister!

Liu Bang is still the emperor who has a discerning eye and will never promote a cat and a dog as the minister of the court because of personal feelings!

Looking at the reactions of everyone in the hall, Liu Bang couldn't help but smile, glanced at Zhao Yao beside him without a trace, and nodded slightly.

"That is, the public opinion is good ······"

With a long sound, Liu Bang did not forget to look at Wang Tianqi, the general of the guard, who was standing on the side of the tent.

"General Wei thinks, is this okay?"

Seeing Wang Tianqi hear this, he did not hesitate to bow down.

"The minister only knows how to lead the army to conquest, and he does not shy away from the art of vertical and horizontal planning, what His Majesty orders the minister, and the minister will report to His Majesty!"

Hearing Wang Tianqi's angry reply, Liu Bang finally chuckled and nodded, and then slapped his thighs with both hands, and got up from his seat again.

"Hey!"

"In this case, according to the order of the Imperial Doctor, wait for Chen Feng to calm down, and then discuss Peng Yue's rebellion!"

In an undoubted tone, making the conclusion that 'this matter will be put on hold for the time being', Liu Bang did not forget to look at Wang Tianqi with a smile again.

"In this battle, General Wei has to be more attentive."

"Otherwise, when the war is over, I have the heart to pick it up, and I am afraid that the princes of the DPRK and China will also be dissatisfied?"

Hearing Liu Bang say this slightly ridiculously, everyone in the tent couldn't help but laugh twice.

Then, I saw Liu Bang's face soothe slightly.

"King Yan and Qi Xiang's army, have they all arrived?"

Hearing this question, he saw Quzhou Hou Lishang bowing down: "Your Majesty! ”

"Fifteen days ago, King Yan had led more than 70,000 soldiers, starting from Jixian County, and now it has reached the junction of Yan-Dai!"

"Qi Xiang Fu Kuan also led more than 50,000 Qi soldiers, and 50,000 soldiers of Jing and Chu who did not harm the Hou Gongshang, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they have reached Julu!"

"In addition, although Peng Yue, the king of Liang, said that he was not sick, he also sent Wuyuan Marquis Wei Hao to lead more than 30,000 Liang soldiers, and he should arrive in Handan in a few days for His Majesty to send!"

Hearing Li Shang's words, Liu Bang only nodded silently.

"Wei Yan was sent to ······"

"Peng Yue, Peng Yue..."

"My cronies are also squeezed out for you, so how can I believe that you Peng Yue has no objection?"

Sighing and shaking his head in his heart, Liu Bang looked at the eyes of everyone in the hall, and finally a decisive look emerged.

"Yan died 70,000, Qi died 50,000, Jing and Chu 50,000, and Liang 30,000."

"There are more than 200,000 Rui soldiers in Guanzhong led by Hezhen, and in this battle, there should be more than 400,000 available soldiers!"

Full of confidence in saying this, Liu Bang pouted with a smile that was about to be ridiculed, and looked around the people in the hall.

"With this army of 400,000 and the destruction of the traitor Chen Xuan, do I still need to do it myself?"

"But do you still need to ride my horse to rush to the front of the battle to boost the morale of the army?!"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, the faces of everyone in the hall couldn't help but flush a little red.

——After this battle, there were more than 400,000 soldiers in the Han army, and I don't know how many people worshiped the generals, and how many people were awarded the title of meritorious marquis······
