Chapter 752: The Great King's Banner Changed at the Head of the City
In the third year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou conspired with his confidant Li Ye, and after killing Shi Hongzhao, Yang Wei, and Wang Zhang, the commander of the Ma army, Guo Chong, and others were ordered to kill Wang Jun, Guo Wei, and others, and ordered the Zhenning army to kill Li Hongyi, the commander of the guard infantry army, Wang Yin, in an attempt to eradicate the old generals' forces that were flying and domineering in the previous dynasty.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongyi secretly revealed the edict to Wang Yin. Wang Yin was shocked and immediately sent someone to Guo Wei for help.
Seeing that the matter was urgent, Guo Wei immediately made a decision, and used the strategy of the strategist Wei Renpu, forged an edict, and falsely passed on the holy decree to declare that Liu Chengyou ordered Guo Wei to kill the generals, which caused the generals to be angry, and jointly recommended Guo Wei to raise troops to crusade against the traitors in the court and the Qing monarch.
After Liu Chengyou heard the news of Guo Wei's rebellion, he was furious, and sent Yin Houyi of Kaifeng, Zhang Yanchao, the envoy of Baodajun, and Yan Jinqing, the envoy of Ke Province, to lead troops to resist Guo Wei, and sent the eunuch to reconnoiter the movements of Guo Wei's soldiers and horses.
On November 14 of the third year of Qianyou, Guo Wei led his troops to cross the Yellow River, and he was accidentally caught by Guo Weijun.
Liu Chengyou, who was arrogant and complacent about getting rid of Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei in one fell swoop, would be willing to take out Guo Wei's recital and show it to Li Ye and others.
As a result, all of Guo Wei's relatives left in Kaifeng were pushed to the execution ground, and Guo Wei's two biological sons, Guo Dong and Guo Xin, did not escape, and Guo Xin was still in infancy.
Hearing this, Guo Wei was extremely sad, fainted on the spot, woke up with a sword section, vowed to avenge the annihilation, the soldiers were even more sad and angry, defeated the soldiers and horses of the Han court in Qilipo, and then Guo Wei conquered Kaifeng.
On November 21, the third year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou was killed by Guo Yunming on the way out.
After Guo Wei led his troops into Beijing, he met with the Empress Dowager Li and asked the Empress Dowager Li to listen to the government and support Liu Yun, the Wuning Festival of the Liu clan, as the emperor. Later, in the name of hearing the news that the Liao soldiers suddenly went south, he took all the soldiers and horses and led the whole army to the north. When passing through Lanzhou, the army mutinied, and the soldiers shouted to support Guo Wei as the emperor, and Guo Wei was dressed in a yellow robe.
Immediately, Guo Wei returned to Bianliang and forced the Empress Dowager to appoint him as the "supervisor of the country" and take charge of state affairs.
On the first month of the following year, Guo Wei officially ascended the throne and became the emperor, the country name was Da Zhou, the Yuan Guangshun was changed, and the capital was Bianjing (that is, Kaifeng), and the Han Dynasty was declared extinct.
Guo Wei went from raising troops to becoming the emperor, which took less than two months, which was much faster than Liu Zhiyuan. It was only three years from the establishment to the demise of the poor Han. The head of the city changed the banner of the king, Liu Zhiyuan endured the rivers and mountains that he had endured for several years, and the lord changed hands in a blink of an eye, and the Han Dynasty perished from then on, known as the "Later Han" in history.
After the news of Guo Wei's proclamation of the emperor, the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu and Taiyuan Yin Liu Chong, also claimed the emperor in Taiyuan according to the twelve states of Hedong, changed his name to Liu Min, and still used the name of the Later Han Dynasty, and the country name was still Han, which was called the Northern Han Dynasty.
(There are too many historical figures in this place, so I won't introduce them one by one, the first year of Guangshun is 951 AD.) Hehe, the yellow robe is not Zhao Kuangyin's first creation, Zhao Kuangyin is just a kind of example. )
"Guo Wei's emperor is so easy!" Li Fengyun sighed, "When I first met Guo Wei in Xinzhou, who would have thought that he would rebel and become the emperor, what an honest and loyal person!"
"With the help of Tiance Mansion, Guo Wei took the world, it was a matter of course, but the whole family was beheaded, and Guo Wei also paid a huge price. Gongsun Wuwu sighed, "It's strange, why didn't the person behind him rescue Guo Wei's old child out of Kaifeng in time, isn't this person all the way with Guo Wei?"
Li Fengyun was silent, the competition for the world is like this, once he participates in this game, it is equivalent to shooting everything in the casino. A person's life, even the life of the dearest, is only a gamble. This is the price of competing for the world, but for thousands of years, all kinds of heroes are still happy to do it. He couldn't do that anyway. Maybe he didn't have relatives in the real sense of the word since he was a child, so he cherished the people in front of him extraordinarily.
It's just that the development of the world is difficult to change because of people's likes and dislikes, although he doesn't have the heart to compete for the world, but he also participates in this crazy game. All along, he has been delaying his marriage with Su Yunong as much as possible, not because he doesn't want to marry Su Yunong, but because there is a fear in his heart that he doesn't know very well, worried that one day Su Yunong will also become a bet on the gambling table.
But creation makes people, the world is unpredictable, and Miao Jiang's trip made him have to marry Su Yunong and Yelu Hongyan.
Tiance Mansion secretly helped Guo Wei, he already knew, he didn't understand, his relationship with Tiance Mansion was not bad, why Tiance Mansion didn't mean to cooperate with him, could it be that Tiance Mansion was so optimistic about him?
"Fengyun, since Guo Wei has been proclaimed emperor, shouldn't we make a congratulatory watch in order to seek temporary peace?" asked Gongsun Wuwu.
Li Fengyun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Guo Wei's foothold is not stable, and Liu Chong of Hedong is also the emperor, so it is not appropriate for us to come out now." Anyway, Guo Wei is not an idle person, he wants to beat us, even if we bow down to us, he will also beat us! ”
"Who do you think Guo Wei or Liu Chong will win the world in the end?" asked Gongsun Wuwu again.
"I can't see it!" Li Fengyun said, "Guo Wei has the help of the Tiance Mansion, and it is not a problem to occupy the Central Plains." But Liu Chong is not simple, Hedong has been run by the Liu family for so many years, and it can be said that it has a strong foundation. Moreover, the terrain of Hedong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Guo Wei wants to take Hedong, I am afraid it is not so easy. Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic, when will there be real peace?"
The two were talking, when suddenly a personal soldier came in and reported: "General, there is a guest surnamed Xiao outside the mansion who claims to be the general's old man and wants to see the general." ”
"Who is the guest surnamed Xiao?" Li Fengyun couldn't think of who it was, he didn't know anyone surnamed Xiao, but most of them were Liao, he didn't want to show up in Liao to find him to do something, did he still think he could buy him?
Li Fengyun said hello to Gongsun Wuwu, and then followed his soldiers to the living room of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion. I saw a dark and thin old man, drinking tea in the living room.
"Xiao Guoshi, why are you here?" Li Fengyun was stunned.
Xiao Qirui raised his head, with a hint of chill in his eyes, and said, "What, can't this seat come? Don't forget, you still owe the Queen Mother a promise." Li Fengyun, you shouldn't forget it, right?"
How could Li Fengyun forget that what should come will come eventually, he still remembers the promise, Shu Luping asked him to help Yelu Deguang's eldest son Yelu Jing become the emperor of Liao. But is it easy?
