Chapter 7 Waiting for the East Wind

Liu Zhuo nodded frequently when he heard this, although Liu Zhuo is a person with great wisdom, great courage, and great ambition, but he has never thought so deeply about the reasons for the success and defeat of the king in history, and still holds the idea of "success lies in the people, and the plan is in the sky", but he does not know that the will of the people is the foundation of the general trend.

Liu Xuan said: "The words of the virtuous brother are incisive and unique, which makes the foolish brother suddenly. Today, I know that Chu and Han are fighting for hegemony, and what my ancestor won was not by force, but by the people, and by adapting to the times. But the foolish brother still doesn't know anything, and he hopes that the virtuous brother will teach him. ”

Fu Qingyun said politely: "Brother Xu, please speak." ”

Liu Xuan asked: "The fifth brother said before, when the reckless thief usurped the throne, there was Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, Zhai Yi of Dongjun, and then Liu Kuai, the Marquis of Xuxiang, and Liu Du, the Zhending people, and other clan disciples played the banner of fighting thieves for the country and raised troops to raise troops.

Fu Qingyun smiled slightly and said: "Forgive the little brother for being disrespectful, when the reckless thief usurped the throne, how did his political achievements, virtues, and official rule compare with Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wai?"

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Victory!"

Liu Xiu said: "Emperor Cheng is promiscuous, pampered the singer Zhao Feiyan, fell to power, and finally ended up with exhaustion; Emperor Han Ai had a habit of breaking his sleeves, and favored the male attendant Dong Xian, ignoring political affairs, and being extravagant, resulting in corruption in the government and wanton looting and exploitation in the localities. As Qingyun Xiandi said, this is the people's heart and loss of power. Before the reckless thief usurped the throne, he sold his reputation and reputation, and was more humble and modest after being promoted and knighted, and distributed his chariot and horse sedan chair to the doorman, and all the money and gold mining were used to make friends with celebrities, win the hearts of the people, and get the name of Corporal Lixian. In the early days of the reckless usurpation of the throne, a series of measures were adopted to benefit the people, changing the fields of the world into royal fields, nationalizing the mountains and rivers and dividing them among the people for cultivation; and reforming the currency system and the official system, so that the people could have land for cultivation and prices would be stable, and the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment and recuperate. Wang Mang's desire is also powerful. Therefore, Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, and Liu Du, the Zhending people, played the banner of begging for thieves for the country, but no one responded. ”

Fu Qingyun said: "What Brother Xiu said is extremely true, An Zhonghou Liu Chong and others are not conforming to the times, but going against the general trend, and they can not be defeated. ”

Uncle Lin sighed and said, "It turns out that Zhai Taishou moved against the trend at the beginning, no wonder no one responded when the flag was raised, it was inappropriate." ”

Liu Xuan seemed to have an understanding, nodded, then shook his head again, and continued to ask: "Then if there is a big chaos today, and the people of Bingzhou, Wuyuan, Daijun and other places have risen up to resist recklessness, and those who have not succeeded, are they also going against the trend?"

Fu Qingyun said: "It is both homeopathic and counter-trending. Now the reckless thief has no way to lose power, and the people of the world are thinking about the Han, and at this time the move is in line with the people's will, which is to follow the trend. However, the name of the righteous army was Kuang Fu Han Chamber, but it was actually for their own selfishness, forming a group of parties, occupying the mountains as kings, robbing everywhere, poisoning the villagers, and becoming a gangster and a giant, which was deeply hated by the people. People suffer first before they benefit from it, and eventually turn the hearts of the people against them. It is to follow the trend and act against the trend, and there is no reason to be invincible. ”

Uncle Lin and Liu Xuan nodded again and again. Fu Qingyun was knowledgeable, his analysis was exquisite, his insights were unique, and everyone deeply agreed, and he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him differently.

Liu Xiu sighed: "Qingyun's words are simply word-for-word and thought-provoking. Homeopathy and contrarian trends are all in the hearts of the people!"

Fu Qingyun said: "What Brother Xiu said is extremely true, the so-called more help for the righteous and less help for the unrighteous is the same principle through the ages. ”

Liu Xuan said earnestly: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool has spent his years in vain, and now he understands the key to success or failure. ”

Fu Qingyun said: "Brother Xuan is too polite, please speak." ”

Liu Xuan arched his hand and said humbly: "If there is a big chaos today, and all parts of the country have risen up, the foolish brother, as a child of Gaozu, is naturally not willing to lag behind, but I don't know how to act, so I can adapt to the times, please teach me." ”

Liu Xiu asked for advice so sincerely, which surprised Uncle Lin and Liu Xiu, and also made Fu Qingyun a little cramped. Fu Qingyun scratched his head and said, "Brother Xuan has seen the outside, and he doesn't dare to give advice." The younger brother just read a few more books, and he just talked about the soldiers, and he was willing to consider it with the two brothers and Uncle Lin. ”

"Today's trend, the court has been decayed and erosive, there are barbarians and Huns outside, there are people swarming inside, people are thinking about Han, and the people in the world are eager for the British lord, which is a good opportunity to make a reckless move, but there is still a lack of east wind. ”

At the same time, the Liu brothers asked, "How do you say it?"

Fu Qingyun said: "Throughout the ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved great things are all good times, occupy advantageous land, and win people; now the time has come, and the brother is a hero, and the children of the clan surnamed Liu in Nanyang County are the only ones who are looking forward to the horse and are harmonious; the time, the place, and the people have obtained the second, but the lack of land. ”

"What about the location?" asked Liu Xuan eagerly

Fu Qingyun said: "The younger brother knows a little bit about geography, Nanyang City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is the alluvial plain of the Yiluo River where Luoyang is located in the north, the Guanzhong Plain centered on Chang'an in the northwest, the Jianghuai Plain in the east, and the Jianghan Plain in the south. Therefore, Nanyang County must be heavily guarded, and the city is strong and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the clan surnamed Liu raises an incident outside the city, it is afraid that attacking the city is a dream in a dream, and once the army arrives, I am afraid that it can only be scattered as birds and beasts and fall into rootless grass; if it rashly moves in the city, it will be caught in the urn, and the whole army will be annihilated, which is not good for the land. ”

Liu Xuan asked anxiously: "How to break?"

Fu Qingyun said: "We need to wait for the east wind and take advantage of the momentum to build momentum." ”

Fu Qingyun didn't sell Guan Zi either, and immediately continued: "The junior brother followed Uncle Lin all the way to Nanyang City, and saw that the remote mountains and wilderness rebels had been poisoned everywhere, but the place near the city was relatively stable. It can be seen from this that the chaotic people within the boundaries of Jingzhou have not yet become a climate, and a large group of powerful bandits has not yet been formed, and it has not yet been able to contain the officers and men of Nanyang City. The younger brother said that he needed to wait for the east wind, that is, he would wait until the chaotic people formed a gang and became a gangster and threatened the city of Nanyang, and then he could start an incident, which was to take advantage of the situation!"

Liu Xuan said happily: "Brother Xian, he really woke up the person in his dream with a word, and made the foolish brother suddenly enlightened." So how do you build momentum?"

Fu Qingyun said: "To build momentum is to create a current situation that conforms to the will of the people. After the incident, we should first draw a clear line with the rebellious people, clarify the purpose of supporting the Han family, spread the accusations of reckless thieves in the world, formulate a program of action based on the well-being of the people, strictly enforce military discipline, do not commit any crimes against the people, abolish harsh punishments in the occupied areas, and implement a policy of light punishment and light taxation, so that the people can have their own fields, live in their houses, and recuperate with the people. ”

Liu Xuan stood up and poured a sip of wine, and said with great joy: "The virtuous brother is really Zhang Liang, Xiao He is reborn! ”

Uncle Lin and Liu Xiu also claimed together. Fu Qingyun secretly wiped a handful of sweat, thinking that what he said was nothing more than moving a lot of history over and speculating and selling. When it comes to knowledge, I am a fifteen-year-old boy, how can I have deep insights. Like Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and others, they were all heroes, but at that time, the news was closed and they lacked a grasp of the overall situation, so they couldn't stand on the shoulders of historical giants like Fu Qingyun and look at the overall situation from an outsider's perspective.
