Chapter 0220: The Second Generation of Hou, a Rare Occurrence in History!
"Hey ······"
"Waiting for the opportunity to move the account, west into Huaiyang for a long time to stay in ······"
Fengyi Palace, looking at the 'Edict of the Son of Heaven' on the silk cloth in his hand, Liu Ying's mouth only quietly swelled with a knowing smile.
——As early as a few days ago, when Yu Fengyi swore to raise troops and did not leave Fengyi for the first time, Liu Ying had already predicted: for his decision to keep Fengyi, the Chang'an court will inevitably have a strong material discussion.
Gai because before the war, the Chang'an court had already concluded that Yingbu would either take Huaiyang in the north and then enter the Liang Kingdom in the west; Or, it is to march east to Jing, attack Chu and Qi in the north, combine the soldiers and horses of the three kingdoms, and then march westward, seeking a decisive battle with the main force of Guanzhong on the line from Suiyang to Xingyang!
And now, the news of the death of King Liu Jia has spread, and the Kingdom of Jing has basically completely fallen into the hands of Yingbu.
Under this premise, there is almost no doubt about Yingbu's next strategic goal.
- Chu State!
Yingbu, who has won the Jing State, will never return to Huainan by the same way from the direction of attacking the Jing State, but will inevitably go north and plot against Chu and Qi!
Yingbu's sneak attack was successful, and all of them looked at Chu, but Liu Ying, as the commander of the counterinsurgency, stayed in Fengyi, which is located in the territory of Chu?
If it is Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, then such a move will naturally only attract praise - Your Majesty is really mighty, and he is not afraid of thieves at all!
But Liu Ying's doing so will lead to the opposite result.
No, before Liu Ying could make further arrangements for the war, the edict from his father Liu Bang came.
It's just that from the few numbers on this warrant, Liu Ying found a very interesting and intriguing word.
"Waiting for the ······"
"Hey, hey, hey········"
Standing up with a strange smile, Liu Ying's face only swelled up slightly.
"Dad, this is because the queen mother 'Xingshi asked', so I had to send such a handwritten letter······"
Shaking her head and smiling playfully, Liu Ying sighed a little and carefully took back the silk book.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ying finally straightened out his clothes, and immediately looked up in the direction of the palace gate, his face suddenly straightened.
"Please join the palace and discuss it!"
·
A moment later, the main hall of Fengyi Palace, which was already small, was filled with more than a dozen burly and well-armored generals.
In the top position, Liu Ying is also dressed in a military uniform, and between her eyebrows, there is not a little fortitude.
"The princes have come from afar, and there is a lot of hard work, and today's military discussion should not be in a hurry."
"However, the Huainan thieves are prosperous, but they are all under the Jing in a few days, and now they are looking at the Chu land, and the army is about to march!"
With a solemn expression, Liu Ying finally got up with a calm face and bowed his hand to everyone in the hall.
"At the moment of national affairs, I dare not be careless."
"This battle is the first battle of the lonely master, and the enemy he encounters is even more Yingbu!"
"If you are lonely, if there is an occasional inappropriateness, I hope that the public will not hesitate to ·······"
Listening to Liu Ying's polite apology, everyone in the hall naturally bowed their hands, saying that there was no need for this.
And when Liu Ying straightened up again and looked at the dozen or so familiar faces in the hall, Liu Ying's heart couldn't help but feel a touch of relief.
Today is the tenth day of the seventh month of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, when King Yingbu of Huainan raised troops to rebel.
About eight days ago, Liu Ying received news: Yingbu brazenly raised troops, attacked Jing State, and defeated the main force of Liu Jia, the king of Jing, in a battle, and Liu Jia's whereabouts are unknown.
Seven days ago, Liu Ying swore an oath outside the Fengyi Ancestral Hall, which can be regarded as a complete apportionment: the master came here to beg for thieves!
Five days ago, the news that Liu Jia, the king of Jing, had died in Fuling; Four days ago, all the spies of the Chu State withdrew from the territory of the Jing State, announcing that the Jing State had completely fallen under the control of Yingbu.
And today, on the tenth day of Yingbu's rebellion and invasion of Jingguo, the counterinsurgency generals who were originally sent by the Son of Heaven in all directions had already gathered in Fengyi Palace and stood in front of Liu Ying.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help but turn her head a little, and looked at the three people sitting in the hall with meaningful eyes, Yingyin Hou Guanying, Longshu Hou Zhouzao, and Thorn Puhou Chai Wu.
——According to the previous statement given by the Chang'an court, Guan Ying and Zhou Zao were in the name of 'inspecting on behalf of the Son of Heaven', and went to Flying Fox with Flying Fox Captain Chai Wu to inspect the daily drills of the Flying Fox Army.
But in fact, in the early morning of the second day after Liu Ying got the news of 'Yingbu raising troops' and immediately drove Liu Fei, the king of Qi, and Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, back to their respective royal capitals, the three people of Guan Ying, Zhou Zao, and Chai Wu, who were 'ordered to go to the Flying Fox', had already arrived in Fengyi!
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Cang, Wang Ling, and Chen Bi, who were known to the outside world as 'going to Handan for a temporary stay', arrived at Fengyi Palace on the day of the news of Liu Jia's death.
By last evening, the two commanders of the counterinsurgency, Quzhou Hou Lishang and Xinwu Hou Jin She, who declared to the outside world that they would 'go to Suiyang to appease the hearts of the people in Liangdi', finally ended their affairs and were able to arrive at Liu Ying's Chinese army tent.
Such high efficiency is probably difficult to see in modern warfare in later generations·······
"The general is here, Captain Flying Fox, is there a risk that the military will be unstable?"
Hearing Liu Ying's sudden question, in the seat on the left, a man who was not too tall, but his limbs were very thick, stood up, and bowed his hand to Liu Ying.
"Your Highness need not worry."
"Since the battle of the Han and Hun Pingcheng, Your Majesty knew the trouble of the north wall, and when he established the Flying Fox Commander, all the Flying Fox Commanders and Commanders and 7,194 soldiers have never slackened for a moment!"
"His Majesty's trust is respected, and he is honored with the title of general, and he is awarded the responsibility of the Flying Fox Captain, and the military regulations have already been established: the Flying Fox Captain is from the minister to the subordinates, and the 'General Death and Death' shall prevail."
"- Wu Bai, died in his place; Shi Chang died, Wu Bai replaced him; Tun Chang died, and even Chang replaced ······"
"If you are so close to the minister, if you unfortunately die in the side wall, you have already set the successor captain, and you will be the captain of the minister, so as to take charge of the flying fox!"
His expression was full of pride, and Chai Wu's face also swelled with pride.
"Today, the ministers have been ordered to this point, but the 'replacement order' is saved, and the Flying Fox Captain will be foolproof!"
Listening to Chai Wu's resolute and even faintly swaggering words, Liu Ying only smiled slightly and nodded to Chai Wu.
But in fact, Liu Ying clearly knew: since the start of Chang'an, Zhou Zao, Guan Ying, and Chai Wu have not set foot on the direction of the Flying Fox, that is, the Yan-Zhao realm!
Although I don't know the specific route of these three people, Liu Ying can also roughly guess: since Liu Ying set off from Chang'an, went to the east of Hangu, and arrived at Fengpei, these three people may not have left Liu Ying for more than 100 miles.
If it weren't for this, even if these three people had grown wings, they would not have been able to accomplish the feat of 'receiving the news, packing on the hour, and galloping to Fengpei to obey orders' in one night and two days.
Guan Ying, Zhou Zao, and Chai Wu are like this, and the other two teams are not much different. Makama
"An Guohou's trip, can everything go smoothly?"
Hearing Liu Ying turn his head to look at himself again, and ask a question, Wang Ling's face was only slightly bitter, and he smiled and bowed his hand to Liu Ying, and lowered his head slightly.
"Thank you for your ·······"
"The ministers and the Marquis of Beiping and the Marquis of Boyang were ordered by His Majesty to make this trip to Handan, although there were a little extraneous branches in everything, but it was generally smooth."
"From Chang'an, the starry night galloped to Handan, and when it arrived, the minister did not dare to delay for a moment, and faced Zuo Xiangguo in person."
"The ministers are waiting for this to be ordered by His Majesty, and the soldiers in Handan Pass are going south, and the Marquis of Wuyang has not said much, so he will join the soldiers."
"Got from Handan's division of troops, the ministers and the Marquis of Beiping and the Marquis of Boyang still did not dare to rest, led the army day and night, went south and sneaked into Huaiyang, and secretly guarded Huainan."
As he spoke, Wang Ling did not forget to turn his head sideways, smiled at Zhang Cang beside him, nodded slightly, and continued to say: "When His Royal Highness's military order arrives, the minister will discuss with the Marquis of Beiping and the Marquis of Boyang, and finally agree: The Marquis of Boyang will stay in Huaiyang, and the main army will do things; The ministers and the Marquis of Beiping hurried to arrive at Fengyi and waited in front of His Royal Highness's tent·······"
Listening to Wang Ling's slightly weird tone, he simply explained the actual process of 'arriving in Fengpei from Handan within three days', and Liu Ying's face suddenly appeared a touch of embarrassment.
Regarding the strangeness in Wang Ling's tone, even if Wang Ling didn't say it explicitly, Liu Ying could still guess it after a little thought.
——Left and right are just Wang Ling, Zhang Cang, and Chen Bi going to Handan, taking out the edict of Liu Bang, the son of heaven, and Fan Xu, who controls the Handan army and is still entangled with Chen Xuan, stretches out his hand to ask for soldiers and horses.
And as the current commander sent by the Chang'an court to end the rebellion of Chen Xuan, Fan Xu is worried about the abnormal change of 'why Chen Xuan suddenly eased up', and he is naturally not very happy to hear that Wang Ling is still going to divide troops from his own hands.
If you are bold in guessing, Fan Xu is even likely to choke back the royal tomb that was ordered to divide the troops with a sentence of 'will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted'!
As for how Wang Ling succeeded in dividing his troops from Fan Xu's hands in the end, it is most likely that Zhang Cang came forward and put a reason that Fan Xu could not refuse no matter what.
——The division of Handan soldiers is intended for the prince to use to quell the Yingbu Rebellion·······
"Whew~"
"Fan Xu, ah·······"
"According to this posture, after this battle, I will still take this guy, so as not to be taken away by my father on his deathbed to pull the pad back······"
Liu Ying remembers very clearly: in his previous life, Fan Xu was finally charged with 'rebellion' by Liu Bang because he turned a blind eye to Liu Bang's request to 'divide Handan's troops to the south and help defeat Yingbu' in the process of quelling Chen Feng's rebellion.
If it weren't for the angels sent by Liu Bang to 'kill thieves', Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, who were afraid of the queen Lu Pheasant and even the son of heaven Liu Bang, and Fan Xu, one of the eighteen meritorious marquis of Wuyang, one of the eighteen meritorious marquis of the founding of the country, I am afraid that he would have died before Liu Bang!
Even in the end, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo came out of 'The Son of Heaven is about to die, and the queen will be the queen mother in the future; Kill Fan Xu, we can't afford the wrath of the Queen Mother's consideration, imprisoned Fan Xu until the day Liu Bang died, and handed Fan Xu into the hands of his sister Lu Pheasant, who was already the Queen Mother, but this incident also made Fan Xu completely lose his military power since then, and finally withdrew from the center of the court.
- The first emperor let you die, the queen mother guaranteed that you would not die, you danced Yanghou, what a big face?
- If you want to stay in the court, will the big guy still have pills?
Compared to the previous life, in this life, the situation has changed dramatically.
In the case of safe storage and close relationship with his mother Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying, who is still only the prince, has begun to subconsciously plan for the future and the days after becoming the Son of Heaven.
And Wuyang Hou Fan Xu, as a crucial member of the Lu family, especially among the founding fathers, the only one who can get involved with Liu Ying and is the most capable person among relatives, for the future Liu Ying, the existence of Fan Xu will be very necessary.
- Being a relative means that you can be trusted; If it can be played, it means that it can be reused; It is a maternal relative, which means that Donggong will not be unhappy because of this.
"Alas·······"
"We'll see when the time comes."
"It's a big deal, just have a drink of old wine with the old king's tomb and hide this matter·······"
Thinking to herself, Liu Ying's heart couldn't help but have some negative feelings about the name 'Fan Xu' for the first time.
"Right Xiangguo."
After asking Chai Wu and his entourage, who went to inspect the Flying Fox Army, and briefly greeting Wang Ling, who went to Handan to divide his troops, Liu Ying's eyes finally stayed on the body of Quzhou Hou Lishang.
"What about Nanyang and Nanjun?"
For Liu Ying's question, Li Shang had already had a draft, and almost as soon as Liu Ying asked the question, he did not hesitate to give it away.
"There are 50,000 soldiers in Liang, and they have been divided into Nanjun and Nanyang two counties, and the courtiers will send their relatives as generals!"
Just a simple sentence made the expressions in the hall different, and everyone, including Liu Ying, invariably revealed a look of relief.
- Qu Zhou Hou Shizi Liji!
It is no exaggeration to say: Li Ji is definitely the best second generation of the Father in the entire Chinese history!
Not to mention Liu Han, it is Cao Wei, Yang Sui, Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Zhu Ming in the future, all of whom have never had such an excellent second generation of fathers.
Under normal circumstances, no matter which dynasty it is, only about thirty percent of the heirs of the founding fathers can barely be called the posture of a middle-aged person.
The remaining seventy percent are basically all wine bags and rice bags!
And the second Qu Zhou Hou Liji is a rare outlier in ancient and modern times.
Because in a strict sense, Liji itself cannot be regarded as the second generation of meritorious marquis.
- but the Founding Fathers Benxun!
In the process of Liu Bang swallowing the world, the exploits of the 'Qu Zhouhou' family were basically all obtained by the joint efforts of Li Shang and Li Ji's father and son!
If it weren't for the fact that there was a father on his head, who was ranked sixth among the eighteen meritorious marquis of the founding of the country by Liu Bang, the son of heaven, and there was a clan uncle who died tragically, Li sent a bill on his own merits, which would be completely enough to be a marquis!
It's just that due to the fact that 'both father and son are marquises, which may lead to confusion in the extension of the title', Liji's exploits were converted into about 2,000 food estates, which were added to his father's Quzhou Marquis.
- Anyway, in the future, the title of Marquis of Quzhou will still fall to Li Ji, who is the prince of the world, and there is no difference.
And in the circle of the second generation of Gonghou, and even in the circle of the founding fathers, the prince of Quzhou Hou Shiji, is known for his 'extremely steady soldiers'!
Let Li Ji capture a city in a short time, there may be an accident; But if you let Liji stick to one place, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass, there will be no problems!
In other words: with 50,000 Liang soldiers led by Li Ji, even if Yingbu wants to go west, he will not be able to break through the defense line of Nanjun and Nanyang at all!
It is even very likely that when he heard that the chief general stationed in Nanjun and Nanyang was the prince of Quzhou, Yingbu would sigh.
- Alas~
- Going west, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it······
