Chapter 144: Out of the East
In Chang'an, countless armies are being assembled.
Not long ago, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, officially launched a rebellion under the name of "Qing Jun's side".
In the past, the prophecy of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, that "there is chaos in the southeast", was finally fulfilled.
When the news came, the whole country was in an uproar.
The generals rushed to the palace one after another, asking to lead troops out of Kanto and suppress the rebellion.
In the Xuanmuro Temple.
At this moment, there are only two people, Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty slammed the inscription of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, to the ground, and his face was very ugly.
"I really didn't expect that King Wu would really turn the other around, and I treated him well."
Chao Cuo said disapprenously:
"King Wu dug mountains to mint money, boiled the sea for salt, lured the world to be arrogant, and had a heart of disobedience, it was not a day or two."
In the minister's opinion, sooner or later he will rebel. Beforehand, we were fully prepared, and his rebellion at this time was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you can take back the land of the three southeastern counties from now on."
When Emperor Han Jing heard this, his mood was better.
He asked suspiciously, "I have heard that many princes have already allied with King Wu. Can we really win this battle? ”
Chao mistakenly said: "We will win." ”
Subsequently, he analyzed:
"The imperial court has worked hard for decades, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and the strength is by no means comparable to the princes of the Kanto region."
"Even if a few scheming princes rebel with King Wu, they will definitely not be opponents of the imperial court."
"At present, the most important thing is to stabilize King Liang. The state of Liang is between the imperial court and the rebels, whether we go out of the pass to quell the rebellion or the rebels attack the pass, this is a must-pass place. ”
"As long as Liang Guo is loyal to His Majesty, we are already invincible."
"Subsequently, His Majesty personally led the army to the expedition, and His Majesty transferred grain and grass machinery in Guanzhong, and it was easy to quell the rebellion."
Emperor Han Jing listened to Chao Cuo's words, and his mood was very complicated.
Liang Guo's position is very critical, and he knows this.
For this younger brother, Emperor Han Jing still trusts him very much.
After all, he is a compatriot, at this time, if even King Liang can't be relied on, who else can he rely on?
Now, King Liang is in Chang'an, and he must be asked to return to Liang to prepare for war as soon as possible.
However, Chao Wrong's words pierced Emperor Han Jingdi's sensitive nerves.
Chao Cuo actually persuaded Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to drive the expedition in person, and he hid in the rear alone.
This is a bit unauthentic.
Emperor Han Jing glanced at Chao Cuo quietly.
The seeds of resentment have been planted.
But he still didn't say anything after all, and turned his head and instructed the attendants beside him:
"Hurry up and invite King Liang and Zhou Yafu to come to the discussion."
。。。。。。
Soon, King Liang, Zhou Yafu and others all came to the Xuanshu Palace.
After the meeting, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty first scolded Liu Biao, the king of Wu, for being ungrateful.
The crowd responded.
The scolding was almost over, and Emperor Jing of Han and King Liang said:
"The state of Wu has been plotting for decades, and now that it is rebelling, it is bound to be fierce. King Wu is going north, and your Liang State is the first to bear the brunt, and the pressure is very high, can you bear it? ”
King Liang swore and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never let the rebels pass through the land of Liang." The younger brother wanted to ask the imperial brother for advice, so he returned to Liang to prepare for the war. ”
When Emperor Han Jing heard this, he was a little moved, and said: "Fighting tiger brothers, at the critical moment, it is still your own brothers who can be relied on." ”
"Someone!" Emperor Jing of Han greeted, and suddenly someone handed over a five-colored glazed sword box.
Emperor Jing of Han opened the sword box and took out a sword from it.
I saw that there were seven beads and nine jade on the sword, and the blade was often like frost and snow, and the brilliance shot people.
Emperor Han Jing said: "This is the sword of Emperor Gao to cut the white snake, and today I gave it to King Liang." King Liang holds this sword, if I come in person, officials below 2,000 stone can be cut first and then played. ”
When King Liang heard this, he was shocked, Emperor Jing of Han not only gave him a sword, but also gave him unlimited power of life and death.
With the promise of Emperor Jing of Han, he could go sideways in Dahan.
After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty gave the sword, he gave the King of Liang countless armor and equipment, grain and grass, which were as big as 3,000 carts.
These materials are enough for Liang to use for two years.
King Liang was overjoyed.
Although he is not short of money, the speed at which he burns money is no joke when he starts a war, and if he doesn't do it, he will burn the entire treasury empty.
Now, with the support of Emperor Han Jing, he can let go of his hands and feet and do a big job.
Subsequently, Emperor Han Jing said: "Without further ado, after you have met your mother, you will leave to return to Liang immediately." ”
When King Liang heard this, he turned around to leave.
At this time, Emperor Jing of Han grabbed King Liang and looked at him meaningfully.
After a long time, he said slowly: "Brother Wu, you also know that my brother is not in good health, if I have any three strengths and two weaknesses in the future, Dahan and Mother, please take care of you." ”
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's words are tantamount to saying that he will give the Han to him.
The matter of establishing the prince in the past was mentioned again by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty today.
When King Liang heard this, he fell to the ground, sincerely afraid.
。。。。。。
After King Liang left, Emperor Jing of Han immediately discussed countermeasures with everyone.
At the moment, the situation is unclear, and it is not known how strong the rebels will be, and how many princes will obey King Wu to rebel together.
After everyone discussed, they agreed that the army should leave the customs immediately, and King Wu could not be given a chance to develop.
The rebellion must be controlled in the southeast, and King Wu must not be given the opportunity to attack Guanzhong.
The most important place in the world is Aocang in Xingyang.
It has the convenience of a canal and stores a huge amount of grain.
As long as the imperial army's army can firmly occupy this place, there will be no worries.
In comparison, the importance of Hangu Pass has been greatly reduced.
Hangu, which was able to resist the princes of the world when Qin merged with the Six Kingdoms, was no longer glorious at this time.
At the end of Qin, everyone could conquer Hangu Pass.
If Xingyang is lost, the main force of Wu State will be able to directly attack Guanzhong, and Hangu Pass will definitely not be able to stop it.
Therefore, the current countermeasure of the imperial court is to march into Xingyang quickly, hold the key points, and flexibly respond to the rebellion.
The strategy has been set, and the next step is to choose the general.
In fact, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not have much choice.
In recent years, there have been no major wars in the Han Dynasty, and no famous generals have been born.
The founding ministers of that year, their children have rapidly decayed, and there are very few who can lead troops.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty knew that he was two catties, and did not follow Chao Cuo's advice to drive the expedition in person.
If you go, I'm afraid it's another emperor called the door.
After thinking about it, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty finally selected Zhou Yafu as the commander, commanded the entire army, and went east to quell the rebellion.
Zhou Yafu is the son of Zhou Bo, and he has no status or prestige.
His ability to command the army is even more unique, and he was once praised by Emperor Wen of Han.
At this moment, he is the only one who can take on this important task.
Subsequently, Zhou Yafu quickly ordered troops in Chang'an and went to Kanto.
The team stretched for hundreds of miles, and the strength of the troops was rare in ancient times.
