Chapter 35: Five State Heroes
Liu Xiu took a group of brothers who were willing to follow him to Kanto.
A group of people from Nanyang County are naturally unfamiliar with the place when they come here, which reflects the importance of study tours and fame.
After the introduction of his classmates and friends, coupled with Liu Xiu's reputation for bravery, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness in the world, he successfully met the Marquis of Anyang in Anyang, Hebei.
Liu Xiu is no longer the farmer he was back then, after going through so much, he is now a real hero, and he is the kind of person who has almost no shortcomings, from personal morality to civil and martial arts, it is admirable.
As soon as Anyang Hou chatted with Liu Xiu, he sighed with emotion: "The Marquis is the descendant of the Liu family, please follow me to see Yinghou, if you can get Yinghou's approval, your great wish will be smooth." ”
Yinghou!
Liu Xiu's heart was shocked, this was one of his main goals when he came to the land of the five states in the eastern part of the country, the only one he could be sure of would not be to watch the destruction of the Great Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Yinghou's relationship network is extremely strong, especially the shrinking turtle of the Lu family, without Yinghou taking the lead, it is impossible to come out.
Liu Xiu of the Duke of Zhao was not ready to meet him, because he felt that it was impossible for the Duke of Zhao to make a move, and then Yinghou was extremely crucial.
Although the Yinghou State was greatly influenced by the Zhao Principality, it was a semi-independent Hou State after all, as long as it was not the Zhao Principality that must destroy the Han Dynasty, the Ying Hou State treated the Han Dynasty and other Hou States no longer in a particularly big way.
Luo Zhong didn't expect that Anyang Hou would bring a Han clan relative, and it was also a famous Han clan relative, the meaning of this was too obvious.
The Marquis of Anyang wants to support a descendant of the Liu family who has the ability to level the world and restore the Sheji of the Han Dynasty.
He couldn't help but think of what Lu Hou said, "Waiting for a descendant of the Liu family who upholds the mandate of heaven!" ”
What is Destiny?
Nobody knows.
What we have chosen is the man of destiny.
These top princes of the Han Dynasty made the same choice when faced with the same situation.
Luo Zhong didn't ask those big questions, but said: "Uncle Wen, when you were studying in Zhaocheng, I remember that you supported Wang Mang's restructuring and confiscation of Haoqiang land, why did you suddenly change your mind now?" ”
Liu Xiu was originally a little excited because he saw Luo Zhong, but when he heard this, he instantly fell down.
After a long time, he said: "In the past, I saw that there were strong and lawless people in this world, and there were people who resisted, but they were weak, so I thought that Haoqiang must be eradicated.
But what I see now is a world in which the people wither like autumn leaves, and the number of people who die in war far exceeds those who die because of the exploitation and oppression of the powerful and the officials.
What will happen if the world continues like this?
With tens of millions of people, how many are left?
Mountains covered with bones, rivers of blood, all the tragic images and tragedies that people can imagine and cannot imagine will appear in front of me, and they will erode my inner conscience all the time.
The sages said that no matter what kind of situation a person has reached in this life or what kind of blow he has suffered, he should never abandon two things, that is, conscience and ideals.
I was probably wrong before, and now I'm going to correct it.
Haoqiang is not a fierce beast like fire and water, as long as it can be controlled, who can say that Haoqiang will definitely be harmful to the world?
How many heroes of my big man are from wealthy families?
As long as it doesn't swell to the point of horror. ”
Luo Zhong didn't comment when he heard this, but pointed directly at Liu Xiu's heart and asked: "The emperors of the past dynasties would rather pay the price to suppress Haoqiang, and now you want to compromise with Haoqiang, if you let the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty know, they will definitely think that you are unscrupulous." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu calmed down, "What is the purpose of suppressing Haoqiang?"
Is it to suppress Haoqiang and suppress Haoqiang?
Who will bear the price of those payments?
Is it the ordinary people?
That's enough for them.
Let's let the world settle down first, this must also be what the people want.
As for the heroes who do evil, when the world is stable, it will probably be easier to succeed in governing one place at a time. ”
It's easy to talk about doing it one place at a time, but it's hard to do it at that time.
Luo Zhong glanced at Liu Xiu deeply, there are two things in this world.
One is that the merit is in the future, but the sin is in the contemporary era, and this kind of thing has never been worth advocating.
The other is good for the present, but in the future, if the descendants are not good and cannot be consistent, there will be a legacy.
But there is no doubt that having the ability to appease the present is already a dragon and phoenix among people, and having a benevolent heart is even rarer.
"Let's go see Lu Hou."
……
The relationship between the Kanto Zhulie Hou family is complicated, and now Liu Xiu understands why Wuzhou is called Wushi Land again, he almost went to one family, got recognition, and then got a letter of introduction and went to the next one.
In terms of power, these liehou families are not considered to be top, but they have been entrenched for so many years, and there are too many old in-laws, and the voices in the counties are far from being comparable to those ordinary heroes.
Most of these liehou families are also in-laws with the scripture family, and even have the background of the scripture family.
With Liu Xiu's departure from Linzi, he set up a banner in Yanzhou, known as the "Xinghan Army", with the red scarf as the banner, and soon the heroes of the counties went to him.
There are businessmen with a lot of wealth, there are world-famous heroes, there are scholars who are full of wealth, and there are wealthy families who come to vote.
Liu Xiu's heart was secretly shocked by the influence of the five surnames and seven families, but they didn't know that these families themselves were also muttering, wondering if a certain family had ended up in person, and the strength of the formation was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Liu Xiu's reputation in Heluo is still very effective, especially in today's world, he is the crown of excellence, and many people yearn for it.
If you change to a suspicious monarch, even if you have to face the reality, the seeds of doubt in your heart must also be planted deeply, but Liu Xiu is different, he is truly loyal.
As long as those who come to vote, he will be courteous and virtuous, and treat each other with sincerity.
The fact that General Pingkou, who disappeared in the land of Heluo, actually appeared at the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which was quite shocking news for any force, especially for King Jiaodong and King Zhao, who had a feeling of being stolen.
In the imperial court, because of this incident, Luo Qi and Wang Mang were almost about to part ways, and the holy decree for Liu Xiu to be added to the official title was not delivered, but Wang Mang's arrived.
After Liu Xiu has thousands of elites, the pressure is even greater.
This is like starting a business, the princes of Kwantung valued his personal ability because of his status as a clan member of the Liu family, so they gave him angel investment, but whether he will be completely on his ship in the follow-up depends on his follow-up performance.
Liu Xiu knows very well that he can be valued by these liehou families, and the identity of the Liu clan occupies a large point, otherwise no matter how strong his ability is, he will not be considered, but the Han who has been bred for two hundred years, the most important thing is the Liu clan.
King Zhao led the army to attack Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was not afraid, but laughed loudly: "Will it fail to defeat the crowd with outnumbered?"
He camped in Hebei, which reminded me of the battle in which Xiang Yu, the commander of the army, defeated the Qin army. ”
So he led the army to cross the river, Liu Xiu was not a soldier like Xiang Yu, but King Zhao and Zhang Han were even more different from each other, Liu Xiu continued to harass King Zhao's grain road, but in just a few months, King Zhao had to gather the main force to fight with him.
At this time, Liu Xiu instead strengthened the wall and cleared the wilderness, and began to consume Zhao Jun's sharpness.
For half a month, the final night attack on the Zhao army, a battle and a defeat, and the soldiers pointed to Jiaodong, the world shook!
