Chapter 286: Taizu Liu Bang's lifelong pain
Taizu Liu Bang was trapped in the siege of Baideng, and the high queen Lu Pheasant was absolutely disobedient.
- For today's Liu Sheng, especially Liu Sheng after being named the crown prince, these two things are almost engraved in his bones and cannot be forgotten for the rest of his life.
As for Liu Pengzu, he obviously didn't know much about these two things;
Although I generally know that these two things have happened, I don't know anything about the specific details, internal and external reasons.
Regarding Wei Juan's proposal of 'I'll tell you about these two things', Liu Pengzu naturally listened attentively and was unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity.
And now, when the Huns are knocking on the side again, Liu Sheng has not rejected the slightest need to hear about these two past events······
"Emperor Taizu Gao, as the Duke of Pei, rose up against Qin, until he entered the customs first, and escaped from the Hongmen banquet with difficulty, only after Xiang Yu beheaded the third son of the infant waist and abandoned the city, he was named the king of Han."
"After becoming the king of Han, Emperor Taizu Gao first returned to Guanzhong from Hanzhong, returned to Sanqin, and then summoned all the princes of the world to crusade against Xiang Yu;"
"It wasn't until the eighth year after the death of King Qin that Emperor Taizu Gao finally held a ceremony on the bank of the Bishui River after Xiang Yu killed himself on the Wujiang River, that is, the emperor's throne, and set up my Liu Han Guozuo ······"
After making a simple opening remark, Wei Juan took a breath, and then sat down on the main seat under Liu Sheng's humble support.
Subsequently, a well-known but little-known past was broken and crumpled by Wei Wan, and placed in front of Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu brothers without reservation.
"After unifying the universe, that is, the emperor's throne, Emperor Taizu Gao has already realized that the first major trouble of my Han family is the princes with different surnames led by Zang Di, the king of Yan, and Han Xin, the king of Qi."
"From the emperor's throne to the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao died, and during his seven years of reign, Emperor Taizu Gao devoted almost all his energy to the princes with different surnames."
"Even a few months before his death, Emperor Taizu Gao had just quelled the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan and was on the way back to the dynasty."
"People say: Emperor Taizu Gao, he was an emperor for seven years, and these seven years were all used to eradicate the seven princes with different surnames, such as King Gongwei of Linjiang, King Zang Di of Yan, Han Wangxin, King Han Xin of Chu, Zhang Ao, King of Zhao, Peng Yue of Liang, and Yingbu of Huainan - these seven princes with different surnames."
"But during this period, Emperor Taizu Gao also once set his sights on the Huns in the north."
"It was this glimpse that almost caused a catastrophe, and almost caused Emperor Taizu Gao to be buried in the bitter cold land of the north······"
···
"In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the King of Han believed in the order of Emperor Taizu Gao, and went to the northern border of Zhao and Zhao, mainly on behalf of the Great Wall of Northern Zhao - the first line of Mayi;"
"In the same year, Han Wangxin asked Emperor Taizu Gao: In order to ensure that when the Huns attacked, they could respond as soon as possible, and requested that Han Wangxin's capital be moved to the first line of the northern wall of the Dynasty - Mayi."
"After receiving permission, Han Wangxin led the army and stationed it in the royal capital Mayi."
"It's just that in the following year, when the Xiongnu went south and approached the city of Mayi, Han Wangxin, who was of the Han royal bloodline, surrendered to the Xiongnu without hesitation."
"Subsequently, he was with the Hun Hu cavalry under the command of Mao Dun, and even continued to go south as the 'Xiongnu vanguard', heading towards the hinterland of the Central Plains of our Han family······"
···
"Well, yes;"
"——Emperor Taizu Gao's second brother and the father of Liu Bi, King of Wu: Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, was afraid of the battle and fled at that time, and was deprived of the prince by Emperor Taizu Gao and deposed as the Marquis of Che."
"At that time, the king of the Dai Kingdom was in Jinyang, located in the royal capital of Han Wangxin: due south of Mayi."
"Knowing that Han Wangxin was about to surrender to the enemy, King Daiqing was shocked, put his country in disregard, and only took his wife and small and soft, and fled south before the Huns had even crossed the Great Wall of Zhao;"
"When Emperor Taizu Gao drove his own expedition and led the army east out of Hangu, Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, had already fled to Luoyang, the eastern capital······"
"Ahem, ahem······"
Speaking of this, Wei Juan's still solemn and solemn face only involuntarily stiffened a little.
And after the words 'Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing' and other words came into their ears, the two brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu also lowered their heads with shame and even shame.
- Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, is the only shame of the Liu Han clan so far!
From the four brothers of the generation of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang (the eldest Wuai King Liu Bo, the second generation of Qing Wang Liu Xi, the third Han Taizu Liu Bang, and the fourth Chu Yuan King Liu Jiao);
In the next generation, the only son of Liu Bo, the king of mourning, Liu Xin, the marquis of Tangjie, the two sons of Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, Liu Guang, the eight sons of Taizu Liu Bang, and the sons of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan;
and then to the grandchildren of the same generation as Tianziqi, as well as the fourth-generation children of the Liu family who are the same generation as Liu Sheng.
After careful calculation, from the establishment of the Han Kingdom by Emperor Taizu Gao to the present, the children of Liu Hanzong's royal family have already exceeded the 100 mark.
Among the hundreds of Liu Han clan relatives, there is only one person, Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, who has done such ugly things that humiliated the Liu family, and even shamed the Han people and Chinese civilization.
- Even Liu Xi's son, Liu Bi, is just a 'thief', not a coward······
"Taifu doesn't have to shy away from it."
"As early as that year, Emperor Taizu Gao once told the people around him: I, the Liu family, do not have such a shameful clan relative as Liu Xi;"
"When the first emperor was the emperor, the historian in the palace was also troubled by this, and the first emperor said: Emperor Taizu Gao did not pursue King Daiqing because of brotherhood, but what the truth is, it cannot be distorted in the slightest because King Daiqing has the surname 'Liu'."
"What's more, now, Liu Bi, the son of King Daiqing, has also been killed because of the rebellion."
"For the scum of King Daiqing and Wu Wangbi, who are in the same lineage, so that my Liu family has no shame to face the people of the world, Taifu, you don't have to worry too much······
Watching Liu Shengyun breeze lightly, one by one, 'scum', 'thief' and 'embarrassed', sweeping Liu Xi, Liu Bi and his son into the garbage heap, Wei Xuan's eyelids trembled subconsciously;
After recovering and savoring Liu Sheng's words, Wei Juan regained his composure and gave Liu Sheng a little gratitude.
- Liu Xi, the king of Daiqing, may be a controversial figure;
But Liu Bi, the king of Wu, is undoubtedly a chaotic minister and thief.
Considering the latter, combined with Liu Xi's identity as Liu Bi's biological father, the meaning of Liu Sheng's words, it is not difficult for Wei Juan to understand.
——Let's talk about it open~
- Our old Liu family has long since denied these two relatives~
"It's so conclusive, come to think of it, it's not all what His Highness meant?"
"Maybe even Your Majesty thinks the same way······"
thanked Liu Shengwei and thought secretly for a while, Wei Wan finally came back to his senses from this inexplicable surprise;
After a little hesitation, he continued to say: "Han Wangxin surrendered to the enemy in battle, and the king abandoned the country and fled, and the defense of my Han family on behalf of Zhao became a smooth road in an instant. ”
"In desperation, Emperor Taizu Gao had no choice but to personally lead the Guanzhong Wangshi to Daidi and hunt with Maodun."
"After Emperor Taizu Gao led the army to arrive, the morale and morale of the army in Daidi were greatly boosted, and they once defeated and retreated the Huns and drove them to the north of the Great Wall of Zhao;"
"It's just that after that, Emperor Taizu Gao was furious, and he rushed forward lightly, and personally led the vanguard north out of the Great Wall of Zhao and pursued to the area of Pingcheng."
"Unexpectedly, the Huns were treacherous, and they feinted defeat and retreated, and set up an ambush on the way;"
"Emperor Taizu Gao was careless for a while, fell into the trap of the Hun thieves, and with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the vanguard, he was surrounded by the Huns in Baishan Mountain······"
···
"This siege lasted for seven days and seven nights;"
"In these seven days and seven nights, the elite of the northern and southern armies of our Han family died no more than 100 in the battle between the two armies, but the number of deaths due to hunger and cold was as high as thousands."
"After the battle of Pingcheng, the tens of thousands of vanguard elites personally led by Emperor Taizu Gao will no longer have any more soldiers to fight."
"—Because on those seven days, the vanguard army was cut off from water and food on Baishan Mountain, and it coincided with the cold of the wax moon;"
"Even those who survived were mostly cut off from the fingers of their hands and feet, as well as the tips of their noses and ears due to frostbite······
···
"That is, since then, my Han family has had several clear judgments about the Huns, which have been unanimously recognized by the government and the opposition."
- One of them: the Huns rode more and came and went freely; Fighting, winning and winning few, walking, Hu Qi will be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, lingering. ”
"Therefore, if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Huns, you must send elite cavalry of the same strength to avoid the embarrassing situation of not winning a big battle and meeting defeat when you go."
"——Second: The Xiongnu are located in the north, and most of their soldiers are cold-resistant, and they are no more afraid of cold winter than the soldiers of my Han family."
"So before the decisive battle, my Han family must be prepared with many hands."
"The best thing is to ensure that the supply of grain, grass and baggage to the front line is continuous, and to prepare enough clothing, bedding, and even spirits for the soldiers to keep them warm."
"-Third: the Huns, most of them are not war-loving;"
"If you want the Huns to also experience the pain of our Han family's restless border and the people being plundered, my Han family's strategic policy may not be to behead the enemy, but to seize the land ······"
The tone was low, and there were some solemn words inexplicably, which provoked Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu to nod, and each secretly clenched their fists.
I don't know how long it took, but finally pressed the angry brothers in their chests for the time being, and finally Liu Pengzu opened his mouth, slightly deliberately diverting the topic a little.
"I've heard of these things, too."
"Emperor Taizu Gao was trapped in the siege of Baideng, and he had seven days and seven nights;"
"In the end, it was Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping who offered advice on the side, and bribed the Yan family, who was favored by Mao Dun, so that Emperor Taizu Gao was able to get out of trouble."
"It's just that from the first time I heard about it, I always felt that something was wrong."
"-He, Chen Ping, really has such a great ability?"
"Even if Chen Ping really has this ability, it's too easy to deceive, right?"
"A favored Yan clan said a few words, and he relieved the siege of Emperor Taizu Gao's Baideng······"
"Is that really puzzling?"
Feeling that the hall was getting deeper and lower, and even vaguely carrying a murderous atmosphere, Wei Wanrao had already been mentally prepared, but he was still stabbed by the piercing coldness in Liu Sheng's eyes, and he subconsciously struck a spirit.
When Liu Pengzu's obviously deliberate words came into his ears, Wei Juan, who realized Liu Pengzu's intentions, took the opportunity to shift the topic.
"Chen Ping, you don't have this ability."
"Even if there is, that short period of seven days is not enough for Chen Ping to complete a series of measures such as 'discussing countermeasures', 'arranging manpower', 'contacting the Xiongnu clan' and 'offering a lot of money'."
"The truth of the facts has nothing to do with Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping······"
Stiffly smiling and shaking his head, Wei Juan didn't forget to turn his head sideways without a trace, and secretly looked at the change in the expression on Liu Sheng's face.
When Liu Sheng also showed a little doubt, Wei Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart;
The truth of that year was also known to Wei Wan and the brothers Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu.
"The fact is: the vanguard of Emperor Taizu Gao has run off water and food, and the Hu cavalry under the command of Mao Dun has also reached the point where he is about to run out of food."
"The vanguard troops under the command of Emperor Taizu Gao suffered heavy casualties because of the cold, and most of the Hu cavalry under the command of Emperor Taizu was so frozen that their hands and feet were stiff, and they couldn't hold bows and arrows at all."
"Coupled with the snow and frost, Hu Qi didn't dare to gallop at all."
"Therefore, during the seven days and seven nights of the siege of Baideng, it seems that Emperor Taizu Gao led the army and surrounded Emperor Taizu Gao in Baishan Mountain, but in fact, it was a confrontation between the two sides, and no one dared to act rashly or take the initiative to attack."
"By the seventh day, the main chariot army of hundreds of thousands, who was left behind by Emperor Taizu Gao and galloped to the aid of the starry night, had gradually approached the area of Baishan Mountain."
"If on the eighth day, Su Bao Mao Dun still does not leave Bai Mountain, then on the evening of the same day, the main force led by Fan Xu, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and others will definitely surround the Bai Mountain, and counter-surround the Bai Mountain.
"That's why I gave up that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, gave up encircling and suppressing Emperor Taizu Gao, who was trapped in Baishan Mountain, and had no choice but to flee north."
···
"After that, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the main force to move north step by step, steadily moving north, and recovering the northern part of Daibei, especially the many lost territories north of the Great Wall of Zhao, as well as the land of the old Qin."
"When the war was over, he sent an envoy to sue for peace;"
"Emperor Taizu Gao also understood that at that time, the primary trouble of the Han family was the princes with different surnames, so he agreed to the request of Mao Dun."
"——In order to stabilize the border areas and free up his hands to solve the princes with different surnames, Emperor Taizu Gao even planned to marry himself and the daughter of Empress Dowager Lu and the sister of Emperor Xiaohui: Princess Lu Yuan to the Xiongnu in order to make peace."
"Although in the end, Empress Dowager Lu firmly stopped Emperor Taizu Gao, but from then on, 'to stabilize the Huns with peace and proximity, in exchange for the stability of the border passes, concentrate on solving internal hidden dangers, and recuperate', it has become the national policy that my Han family has always implemented for the previous emperors for decades."
"And the purpose of this is to wait for the right time."
"——Waiting for my Han family to accumulate enough strength to be able to complete the battle and solve the trouble of the northern Huns in one fell swoop, so as to open the opportunity for peace for all generations······"
