When the army of 60,000 Qing kings from the southwest began to march northward, Suiyang, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, had a Dianjiang Tower built by Liang Wang Liu Wu during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu. Liu Wu once stood on this high platform and swore his oath. Relying on the power of a country and several generals under his command, he just blocked the Wu-Chu coalition forces, and the heads he captured after the war even vaguely exceeded the number of the imperial army.
Today, the person standing on the general stage is no longer Liu Wu, but his grandson, the contemporary Liang Wang Liu Xiang. Back then, the Liang Kingdom was here to resist the Wu-Chu coalition who raised troops in the name of the Qingjun side, but today the King of Liang has taken up the banner of Wu Chu and carried out the Qingjun side.
The prestige of King Liang is already extremely high, and this time he even took out the handwriting of the emperor's eldest grandson Liu Jin directly at the general stage. This time his reputation as Qing Junzi became more justified.
Liu Jin, the emperor's eldest grandson, was Liu Xiang's nephew. His nephew was persecuted by traitors, so it was natural for him to stand up for him as an uncle. Moreover, this nephew is also the eldest grandson of the emperor who has the priority to inherit the throne. This not only makes the name of Qingjun side justified, but also gives him a name of justice.
"There are also soldiers from Zichuan Kingdom, Shu County and other places who are fighting against the emperor. This action is not only to punish the treacherous ministers, but also to vindicate the prince and restore the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson!" Liu Xiang announced loudly to the soldiers in the audience. He stood on the general stage wearing armor, and the armor he was wearing at this moment was the idol he admired most in his life, and was used by his grandfather Liu Wu.
Liu Xiang was extremely proud of his actions. He even believed that these actions were no less than those of his grandfather. This was to save the Han Dynasty and the great Liu family. He seemed to feel that his grandfather was watching him from heaven. After being the King of Liang for more than 20 years, Liu Xiang has never felt so high-spirited!
Although today¡¯s Liang State is only half the size it was when Liu Wu was in power, it still occupies more than 20 cities, and they are all large counties and wealthy areas. There are more than ten generals under the stage, sixty or seventy thousand armored soldiers, and the banners and banners are like a rainbow.
"I will follow the king to the death, rehabilitate the prince, and restore the throne to the eldest grandson!" All the soldiers in the audience knelt down and worshiped. Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound soared into the sky and echoed throughout the heaven and earth for a long time.
When the news that Liang Guo and Zichuan raised troops in response to the Qing emperor's side message began to spread in the east of the Han Empire, the news that the emperor's eldest grandson Liu Jin was still alive also spread. At this time, even the troops of King Qin who had begun to march towards Chang'an were hesitant. When the armies of Liang and Zichuan converged, and a total of 100,000 troops from the two countries marched towards Chang'an, these troops of King Qin actually put away their flags. , quietly returned to their hometown, and even a few directly changed their flags, transforming from the army of King Qin into the army on the side of King Qing.
"Are you saying that my eldest grandson is still alive? And this time not only Jianwei of Shu County raised troops to come to Qingjun's side, but also the King of Liang and the King of Zichuan also raised troops?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood in the Jiaofang Hall of Weiyang Palace, standing on the messy Begonia. In front of the tree, after listening to Zhang Anshi's report, he asked with a complicated expression.
"Nowadays, very few people in the world have responded to King Qin's edict, and even some rumors have appeared in Chang'an" Zhang Anshi lowered his head and continued.
The current situation is even more fierce than the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms between Wu and Chu. Today, Chang'an City has long been reduced to a mess.
"The 60,000-strong army in the southwest, the 100,000-strong army of the Liang Kingdom and the Zichuan Kingdom in the east. He is indeed the Marquis of Anyang Such a deep city, such a deep scheming With such a teacher, I wonder if it is Jin'er's luck or misfortune?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have the anger and panic he expected, but instead said in a slightly appreciative tone, but in the end it turned into a heavy sigh.
"Where is Anyang Hou's army now? What changes are happening in Chang'an City now?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reached out and gently brushed the branches of Begonia and continued to ask Zhang Anshi. He still called Huo Guang Marquis of Anyang. A few days ago, the ministers at the court had discussed taking away Huo Guang's position as governor. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not issue an edict to deprive Huo Guang of the title of Marquis of Anyang.
Zhang Anshi turned his head slightly and looked behind him, then took a step forward and said in a lower voice: "According to a secret report from the Northern Prefect, Anyang Hou's army did not cross the river and go to Anping, but left Yanze in the north and entered the northern grasslands. They detoured to the direction of Wuyuan Yunzhong, which had fallen. The people in Chang'an were panicked, and the civilians who had been recruited in a hurry had no fighting spirit, and they were unwilling to fight against the armies of the Southwest and King Liang. Because Rumors also began to spread in Chang'an His Majesty was bewitched, and there were even rumors that His Majesty was under house arrest"
"He went to the rear of the Huns? What's going on with the General of the Second Division now?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhang Anshi in disbelief and asked anxiously. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been in power for decades, so he naturally had some secret news channels, and some of the news could reach Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly, bypassing foreign dynasties.
"The General of the Second Division has been fighting the Huns in Fushi for several days. The current situation of the battle is unknown." Zhang Anshi continued to answer. It is difficult to transmit information in this era, and it will take a long time.The accuracy is also extremely low.
"I know, let's go downAlways pay attention to the movements of Chang'an City." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand, as if he was a little tired, and asked Zhang Anshi to step back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not take any measures to deal with the lack of public support and rumors in Chang'an City. He just asked Zhang Anshi to pay more attention.
"I excuse myself." Zhang Anshi bowed and retreated. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned around and looked at Haitang in front of him.
This crabapple, which was once carefully taken care of by Wei Zifu, is now a mess of branches and leaves, and it no longer looks like it used to. Without the care of its owner, it would be as inconspicuous as a wild tree by the roadside. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often came to Jiaofang Hall recently. No one lives here anymore, and there are no palace maids and guards. The stone slabs outside the hall are also covered with weeds. The once magnificent Jiaofang Hall is completely deserted.
Memories are always bitter, especially this kind of seeing things and thinking about people. Liu Chegui was an emperor, but he could not escape his emotions. When Wei Zifu was no longer in Jiaofang Palace, he still stepped into this deserted palace to find the memories that belonged to him and Wei Zifu.
There were several beloved women in Liu Che's life, including Empress Chen, who left an eternal legend about the beauty hidden in a golden house, Mrs. Li, who comforted her lovesickness with paintings after her death, and Mrs. Gou Yi, who is now accompanying this elderly body. , and finally it was Wei Zifu who left countless regrets.
"Queen" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty whispered to the messy Begonia, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say a word.
??????????? Actually there is still a very strange thing happening up to now, but because the courtiers are busy with the chaotic war and the appointment of the prince, almost everyone has ignored this issue. That is, Queen Wei Zifu has been dead for more than half a year, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never officially issued an edict to abolish Wei Zifu's position as queen.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Empress Chen, he clearly issued an edict, which said, "The empress was out of order and confused by shamans. She deposed the queen and moved to Nagato." ¡¯ But until now, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has not issued any edict to depose Wei Zifu from the position of empress, and he has not even had the opportunity to collect the empress¡¯ seal and ribbon.
On the wilderness north of Wuyuan County, a cavalry team of 80,000 people marched southward in mighty force. This is exactly the 80,000-strong army that Huo Guang raised in the name of Qing Junzi. They did not go from the normal Yongzhou land to Youfufeng and then to Chang'an. Instead, they chose to take a detour north and came to the north of the occupied Wuyuan County.
"Grand Governor, why don't you go directly to Chang'an via Yongzhou, and why do you have to go around the grassland in a big circle?" Shangguan Jie rode beside Huo Guang. He had been holding back this question for a long time. Seeing Jiuyuan City right in front of him, Finally Shangguan Jie couldn't bear it anymore.
"Do you three know the intention of becoming a master?" Huo Guang did not answer Shangguan Jie immediately, but asked several people on the other side.
The ones who allowed Huo Guang to call himself his master were naturally Liu Jin, Liu Xijun, and Zhao Yinhua.
"Teacher, are you worried about the Huns' army? Our army went around to the rear of the Huns, hoping to catch them off guard?" Zhao Yinhua said immediately. Zhao Yinhua is the older of the three. In addition, she has been by Huo Guang's side in recent years, and recently assisted Huo Tang in handling Privy Council affairs. Her vision and wisdom are no longer what they used to be.
"We still have to wait for the opportunity to fight the Huns. We first came to the five northern counties, mainly to gather the scattered soldiers. I don't believe that Fuli Hou's army of more than 100,000 people collapsed like this. They must be scattered around Shuofang and Bingzhou. In addition, I always feel that the Huns are not simple this time. Although I don¡¯t know the specific battle process between them and Fulihou, but to defeat Fulihou so quickly and force him to draw his sword and kill himself, the Xiongnu¡¯s opponent this time is definitely not simple. We, the 80,000 people, may not be able to defeat the 200,000 Xiongnu army." Huo Guang said solemnly, his words revealing deep worries.
"Aren't you going to Chang'an?" Shangguan Jie asked with some confusion. Listening to Huo Guang's words just now, it seemed that he wanted to compete with the Huns' 200,000 troops before going to Chang'an.
"After passing the order, immediately separate the troops, with five thousand people in each army, and go to the five counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen to collect the remaining soldiers. Also, be careful, the Huns did not bring any food and grass, they must be plundering the big men. If you go to collect the remaining soldiers, you will definitely encounter those small Xiongnu troops. At the same time, send messengers to the two northern captains of Shuofang and Bingzhou, asking them to lead the remaining soldiers and horses of their troops to immediately assemble to Xihe County to calm down, and with the emperor In the name of Changsun, I order all the remaining armies in the north of the two armies, and we will go and pacify them in two days." Huo Guang ordered. He knew that there must be many troops hiding or scattered in the north of the two armies, and at this time he would also do his best. Possibly increase your own strength.
The Xiongnu army marched straight in. They only captured a few major strategic locations, and after defeating the Han army, they continued southward. Each of these border counties has five captains. Even if most of the troops were recruited by Lu Bod from the beginning, there must be some left behind in these captains' offices.
When Huo Guang began to gather the remnant troops in the five northern counties, he went to Fushi, where the 200,000 Xiongnu troops had already besieged the place. Since Li Guangli led the troops to garrison in Fushi, they have been fighting with the Huns for more than ten days. .
The Huns would attack the city almost every day, and this time the Huns were completely different from the past. They would even force the Han people to attack Fushi. Let these common people virtually become the vanguard and human shield of the siege, and if Fushi's defenders want to defend the city, they have to forcefully attack these Han common people.
Under Li Guangli¡¯s order, these Han troops had to shoot bows and arrows at their compatriots. Fortunately, in the end they were able to block the Xiongnu attack with difficulty. However, after ten days, not many Huns died, but at the hands of the Fushi defenders, no less than 100,000 Han people died
This war was not only tragic, but also put the hundreds of thousands of Fushi Han troops on the verge of psychological collapse. To defend the city, they had to keep killing their compatriots. Going out to fight or not defending the city would cause even greater disasters. Casualties and endless inner suffering even gave many Han soldiers the idea of ??committing suicide. Although there are still 100,000 troops in Fushi City, the invisible oppression seems to destroy the city at any time.
On a hillside to the north of Fushi City, the Xiongnu Chanyu Uwei looked at Fushi City surrounded by King Xian of You, King Guli of Left and Right, the Great Protector of Left and Right, and dozens of nobles of different sizes.
"With this clever plan, I'm afraid that Fushi will be destroyed within three days!" King Youxian looked at Fushi City with satisfaction. Although it was more than ten miles away, the depressing and miserable atmosphere in Fushi City was still there. He could still feel the atmosphere. In this regard, King Youxian admired his nephew even more. When he called the Great Chanyu, he became more fluent and rarely showed some respect.
Originally, King Youxian had a lot of conflicts with Uwei. Even because the power of Uwei's court was shrinking, King Youxian even had the idea of ??replacing him. However, this time they joined forces and went south to invade the Han Dynasty, King Youxian attacked Wuwei. Wei's attitude slowly began to change. The Huns are a nation that respects the strong. In their eyes, there is no reason to argue. Only the strong will be respected. King Youxian gradually felt that Uwei was different from all the previous Shanyus. This kind of The change was not about strength in terms of force, but it made King Youxian feel that Uwe was a strong man worthy of respect.
"He Shidao" Uwei called out a name in a low voice. He looked at Fushi City indifferently, his eyes seemed to pass through the rows of swords, spears, axes and axes, and he could see the Han commander in the central building of Fushi City.
"The villain is here!" Behind Uwe, a middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a scribe bowed and responded. This man has a long beard and looks like an authentic Han Chinese. If he were placed in Chang'an City, he would definitely look like a learned master.
"Take this Shanyu's promise and go find the General of the Second Division named Li Guangli!" Uwei said in a calm tone without looking back, his eyes still staring at Fushi City.
"The villain obeys the order, and it is determined that the Great Chanyu will recruit Li Guangli to surrender." The Han lady named He Shidao bowed his hands and said. Few people know about his past. Even the people closest to Uwe Shanyu don't know much about He Shidao. They only know that this Han is the first counselor of Shanyu Uwe, just like the Bank of China said back then.
"The way to conquer a country is to attack the heart first, and to attack the city from the bottom; to win with the heart is the top, and to win with the army is the bottom. What a reasonable statement The wisdom of the Han people is really unfathomable"
He Shidao has disappeared long ago, and no one knows how he entered Fushi City. On the uphill slope where only Uwe stood, his low moans could be heard. The other Huns couldn't understand this sentence at all, and even King Youxian didn't understand what it meant. But all the Huns felt that their Great Chanyu had really changed and became a bit like those cunning and insidious Han people!
