Chapter 456 Ran An Knows How Valuable a Prisoner Is?
"Liu Gong is a minister respected by everyone, but his methods cannot be implemented in the south."
Liu Heng sat in the upper position without hesitation and expressed his opinion, "The ones we want to move are not the wealthy families, but Yu Ding. It is not appropriate to take too tough measures. The King of Jiaodong wrote a letter saying that he is willing to send soldiers to escort Yu Ding in the country to the south.
, I didn’t agree.”
"At the beginning, the Qin State adopted such a method and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to go south, which immediately led to widespread resentment among the people. The people who left their hometowns occupied places, blocked passers-by, established themselves as kings, and overran and proclaimed themselves emperors, trying to defy heaven's orders with a small territory.
This proves that this method will not work. By the way, you are the most familiar with this matter. What do you think?"
Zhao Tuo grinned, and Liu Heng was stunned. He was very familiar with this silly smile.
Now he seemed to know the source of this silly smile.
Zhao Tuo replied: "The King of Jiaodong is your Majesty's brother and the most beloved by your Majesty. But even so, he is just a vassal king. Now the temple wants to implement benevolent government. If he dares to send soldiers to forcibly escort Yu Ding south, then he will
Just like those who used the land of Danwan to disobey heaven's orders, they will bring disaster to themselves sooner or later... Therefore, when local princes and kings want to do things, it is best to obey heaven's orders, and it is not advisable to make their own decisions."
"When I came here, His Majesty once said to me: The southern country has a bad land, and the northerners are not used to it."
"Therefore, at present, we should place the migrating people in Chu, Nanjun, Si and other places. These areas were originally administered by the Chu State. The language differences are small and the living habits are the same. All my current thoughts are
Head south in batches."
"It doesn't necessarily mean that people from the north will be moved directly to places such as Jiaozhi. It just needs to allow the world to have this southward trend."
"The people in the north are very afraid of the southern country. They all believe that this is a barbarian land and they will escape death."
"Haoqiang is more afraid when he learns that he is going to the South Country than heading to Hexi..."
Liu Heng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this."
Liu Heng took out the paper and handed it to Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo took it and looked at it for a moment, "Di's newspaper?"
"Yes, this is called "Southern Newspaper". I specifically received permission from His Majesty. Although it is called "Southern Newspaper", it is intended to be published with the North..."
Zhao Tuo glanced at it casually for a few times, put it down with disdain, and shook his head, "The king has tried his best to introduce the fertile land of the South, the ease of life, and the tax reduction and no-service policy... It's useless, it's useless."
"Oh? Why is it useless?"
"Because the king's newspaper is not about temple politics, it cannot be preached to the people by officials. Therefore, it can only be contacted by those scholars. For these people who can afford to read the newspaper, how can they care about the cultivated land of the South?
What’s the matter? Taxation and life are not what they pursue. Your Majesty’s preaching is in the wrong direction!”
"Oh? Then what should I preach?"
"Your Majesty should preach about yourself."
"Um??"
Zhao Tuo said seriously: "When the people in the world only care about whether they can be reused, they should use Nanbao to show that Nanguo tolerates many schools of thought and supports them to help them compile books and teach people. It should also show that the king
In the past, the king of Chu loved the virtuous and won the love of scholars all over the world. People came from thousands of miles to join him. The Chu country was once a barbarian country and turned into a great cultural and educational country. People in the world were full of praise and never called Chu barbarian again.
of."
"The same is true for Wu, Changsha, and South Vietnam today. If we can change the views of the scholars, then the rest of the people will just follow what others say and have no independent opinions. The scholars say that the country of Wu is good, even if the people of Wu are miserable, that is still good.
If the scholars say that the country of Wu is not good, even if the country of Wu has fertile land, it will be of no use!"
Liu Heng was silent for a moment and looked at Zhao Tuo, "I am not Father Zhong. If I take the initiative to win over the world's scholars, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."
Zhao Tuo was furious, "What are you talking about? Your Majesty has an order, and as a minister, you will go through fire and water without hesitation! As His Majesty's brother, are you still refusing to do things that are beneficial to His Majesty for your own sake?"
?! I regard you as a wise king, why should I cherish my life?!"
Liu Heng couldn't help but laugh, "What you said makes sense."
"However, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is still the negotiation between local officials."
"I have already communicated with the six county governors, and they will be responsible for preaching and sending people to escort Yu Ding... Matters in the Central Plains are beyond the reach of just a few people. You are from Zhao, so you must have some wise ideas?"
"Of course there is... I came here this time with the strategy of garrisoning the fields. There are enemies in the north, so I have to guard the border to resist. In the south of me, there is a powerful country like Funan. Don't I need to guard the border? I am going to ask
It doesn’t take too many to build temples and guard the border in the south for resistance. Only 60,000 to 70,000 people are enough. In addition to the military camps, it is natural to organize a large number of landless remnants from the North to go to South Vietnam for centralized reclamation..."
"So, these farming operations are all taking place in South Vietnam."
Zhao Tuo looked at Liu Heng in surprise, "The country of South Vietnam has been around for more than a year. It has a vast territory and rich resources, and there are foreign enemies. Naturally, we have to do it in South Vietnam. When I was in the court, the ministers objected several times, thinking that South Vietnam was not a Chinese nation.
, being captured by Tingwei, your Majesty wouldn’t think so too, right?”
Liu Heng narrowed his eyes, "Of course not, but you said it yourself, the northerners are not suitable for South Vietnam, and South Vietnam is in the hearts of the northerners, it is a real barbaric land, why not arrange for these people to go to Wu State, I
I will send Yu Ding from the Kingdom of Wu to you for reclamation... Also in exchange... There is nothing the army can do. We can only hope that there will not be too many casualties. If there are too many casualties, Your Majesty will not be able to sit still.
..."
The two reached a consensus on many things, including how to relocate people, how to arrange the migration, how to carry out two important farming areas, how to carry out reasonable development, etc. When Liu Heng heard that Zhao Tuo was going to burn the mountains, his whole body was moved.
They were all shocked. Liu Heng did not approve of such behavior, and the price was too high. However, Zhao Tuo was very determined, setting up an isolation zone, and then burning the mountains. This was the most effective development carried out by the South Vietnam Kingdom.
politics.
The two people have the same ideas on many issues. Of course, they also argue on some issues and do not give in at all.
The banquet lasted into the evening, and Zhao Tuo returned to the inner room exhausted.
He didn't pretend this time, he was really tired. The attendant hurriedly came forward to change his clothes, brought hot water, and wiped his body. Zhao Tuo said displeasedly, "I would rather wear armor and go to the mountains to catch savages.
I am willing to deal with this guy... When talking to this guy, I have to be extra careful with every word I say. If he says something wrong, if he catches me, I will be punished to death. There are so many people in their clan, but this guy is...
The most like the Queen Mother!"
"There is something in the words, every word is a trap, how can there be such a difficult person? The key is that he can still hit the point in every word... I am so angry!
"
"Didn't your Majesty tell you the pros and cons regarding the newspaper? King Wu is not as good as you!"
"Bullshit! I'm just giving him advice, why not? He wants to decide the priority and directly turn me into his adviser!"
The waiter didn't understand, but thought it was very powerful.
"The king came here this time because he wanted to do things for his majesty. He has no other intentions. Why bother fighting with the king of Wu anymore? It's better to just listen to him..."
Zhao Tuo smiled disdainfully, "I have never seen anything, how could I lose to a young boy? Besides, the swords are both long and short. He is related to the elder, and so am I! To govern the Southern Kingdom, you have to be able to
We are mainly in South Vietnam. With the advantages of South Vietnam, if we can get the help of temples, we will definitely become a rich and powerful country like Liang in the future. This will be of great benefit to the clan, the Han Dynasty, and South Vietnam...
"
At this moment, Liu Heng also returned to the palace and gently rubbed his forehead.
Mrs. Dou stood behind him and helped him knead.
"Your Majesty, did the meeting go well?"
"This old man is really powerful... I couldn't defeat him either, but he has some abilities. I have never seen such a tough opponent, but sooner or later he will bow to me and obey my orders!"
Mrs. Dou smiled bitterly, "Why should your Majesty fight with him? He is already very old. If something bad happens..."
"Old?? I think he is stronger than everyone else! Although South Vietnam is also a Han country, there are too many foreign races, so the Wu Kingdom should be the main one. Wu should be established first, and then Vietnam should be conquered to prevent South Vietnam from becoming powerful. South Vietnam is a huge territory. If
If there are too many people, then Wu and Changsha will not be able to suppress him. He has the surname Zhao and lives together with Han and barbarians, so he has to be suppressed!"
As the two largest vassal kings in the south, they have the same opinions on the issue of developing the southern country and are natural allies. However, both of them have great ambitions and are unwilling to be driven by others. In many aspects, they both
They maintain their own ideas and refuse to give in. This is the conflict between them.
However, generally speaking, there is no problem for the two of them to work together, but it will be a bit tiring, and you have to be careful of being bitten at all times.
The situation in the north and south of the Han Dynasty gradually became clearer.
The south is a duel between two ruthless people, while the north is a group of barbarians who are seeking death crazily. Except for Liu Qi, no one is reliable.
Of course, the most unreliable one is in Chang'an.
.........
"Mom!
You must not stop me today, I will execute Zhou Bo!
"
Liu Chang said angrily.
"I sent troops without telling you. This guy is addicted to beheading. I have to let him try what it feels like to be beheaded!"
"
Empress Lu looked at Liu Chang particularly calmly, and then nodded.
"good."
Liu Chang stopped abruptly.
"No, Mom, you have to pretend to be a good person. You have to persuade me. I want to kill the founding minister, how can you still say yes?"
Empress Lu calmly replied: "As a prince of a prince's country, sending troops privately is a capital crime. We can just execute him directly. Why bother?"
Liu Chang patted his thigh and said helplessly: "But after all, he is Zhou Bo, the great Han Dynasty Jianghou. He has fought in the south and north for so many years and has made great achievements. He will definitely be admitted to the Zhongxin Pavilion... Although he has good merits, he can't
He is indeed a loyal minister... He is also Yafu, Shengzhi, Jian's father..."
"Are we going to execute him like this?"
Queen Lu glanced at him disdainfully, "It's hard to achieve great things if you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted."
Liu Chang pursed his lips, completely giving up the idea of cooperating with his mother. According to Liu Chang's idea, he should be particularly angry, and then he wanted to execute Zhou Bo. There was a person of equal status to him.
He came out to dissuade Zhou Bo. After pulling him several times, he punished Zhou Bo severely and then released him.
At this time, Liu Chang began to miss his elder brother. Second brother, it is rare that I can use you, why are you not here?
My mother is also qualified, but the problem is that my mother's character is not very good at being a red face and a white face. She can only be a white face and a whiter face, and my mother is still the one with the whiter face.
What's going on? Chief Liu said he wanted to kill him, but his mother had already come back with Zhou Bo's head.
Should the teacher take action?
Seeing her son's embarrassed face, Queen Lu said helplessly: "Just leave this matter to me. However, you have to remember that as a king, there are some things that you must do.
Those who kill are merciful and only do bad things."
"This is not Zhou Bo's first offense. He did the same in Yan at that time. He privately sent troops to attack the barbarians in the Xianbei Mountains who did not participate in the war. You did not ask for the crime. Later in Hexi, he was greedy for military glory and almost killed the soldiers and civilians of two cities. You
Pardon him again. He has more than 300 armors hidden in his home. Ting Wei found out that you pardoned him again... This is already the fourth time. If you don't teach him a lesson... how are you going to govern a big man?
!”
"To deal with an arrogant person like him, we need to make him wake up completely!
"
"You don't have to worry about this anymore."
It can be seen that Queen Lu is really angry this time.
After returning to Houde Hall, Liu Chang called Liu Zhang over.
"After Zhou Bo comes back, you send people to keep an eye on him. If my mother really wants to kill him, you protect him and don't let anyone hurt his life..."
Liu Zhang immediately accepted the order, "Father Zhong, there is something I don't quite understand..."
"you say."
"Zhou Bo has disobeyed the emperor's orders several times, why do you continue to condone him so much?"
Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, "A crime that does not lead to death."
"Among the four crimes Zhou Bo committed, attacking the remnants of Donghu is nothing. I will kill them sooner or later. Even if I send troops to attack Xiqiang, if he can say something, I will not say anything more. As for Zangjia,
Which general doesn’t have one at home? Who doesn’t like to have a good collection of armor when they fight on horseback?”
"Only the fact that he almost killed Luan Bu bothers me. However, I have also fought in a war, and I can understand that people will definitely die in a war. Others can die, and my deceased can also die. That is,
I can die too, it doesn't matter...the anger is just because of personal feelings."
"In the past few decades, Zhou Bo participated in all wars, destroying Qin, conquering Chu, pacifying civil strife, and conquering the Xiongnu. He fought in more than a hundred battles, took the lead, ascended more than ten times, destroyed more than 70 cities, and captured countless
With a hundred thousand plans and hundreds of battles, he fought his way from Zhongjuan to the position of Taiwei. He is a true warrior... It would be a pity if such a powerful general died in my hands."
Liu Chang said with emotion.
Sometimes Zhou Bo's military achievements are really exaggerated, which makes people wonder if this brother has taken some medicine. He is very much like some grass-cutting players. They want to participate in any small battles. After killing someone, they rush on the road without stopping.
In order to obtain the achievement of full participation, let the big and small bosses all die in your own hands...
After Liu Bang was crowned King of Han, he launched a series of battles.
Zhou Bo first followed the attack on Huaili, and after a good confrontation, he turned to attack Zhao Bi, went north to attack Qixian, then attacked Zhangping and Yao Yin's army, then went to the west to pacify Dingyi County, returned to capture Yuncheng, Pinyang, and successfully
Defeated the army of the county magistrate of Xixian County, besieged Zhang Han in Feiqiu, attacked the bandits of Ba, attacked Shangzou, moved to guard Xiaoguan, attacked Xiang Yu in advance, captured Qu Ni, returned to guard Aocang, and then pursued Xiang Ji.
...
Zhou Bo's life consisted of traveling, fighting, and beheading. Traveling, fighting, and beheading.
Even when he later suppressed the civil strife, he still maintained this non-stop mowing posture. When he heard that King Xin of Han was planning to rebel, Zhou Bo went to conquer Huoren County without stopping, marched forward to Wuquan, defeated the Hu cavalry, and then defeated King Xin of Han in Tongqian.
The army then went to the north of Wuquan and defeated the Hu cavalry again. The returned army surrendered six cities in Taiyuan, marched to the city of Jinyang and defeated Han Wangxin and the Huns' cavalry.
He pursued the enemy and defeated Han Xin's army again at Bishi, pursued eighty miles north, returned to attack the three cities in Loufan, and took the opportunity to defeat the Huns cavalry in Pingcheng. In the end, this guy actually led people to guard the Chi Road.
Annihilated the defeated troops that came running over.
Liu Bang was dumbfounded. When Zhou Bo was doing these things, other generals were still on the way. Liu Bang immediately promoted Zhou Bo to the rank of Grand Lieutenant...
This was even more true in the attack on Chen Xi later. It was about non-stop work and getting it done. He almost finished everything that other generals should do first and won them all.
The general was sitting in the prison car at the moment, looking out of the prison car with disheveled hair.
Zhou Bo never thought that one of his military expeditions would have such serious consequences.
When entering Chang'an, he was surprised to see a young man standing at the gate of the city. It was his youngest son Zhou Jian. Zhou Jian looked blankly at his father in the prison car, then knelt on the ground, cried and knelt down.
.
Zhou Bo slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fists. His body was firmly fixed in the prison car and he could not move.
Zhou Bo was not taken to Tingwei Prison, but was taken to an ordinary cell in the county government office.
After getting off the prison car, Zhou Bo was tied up and pushed into the cell.
A jailer looked at the tall general in front of him with disdain.
"Are you Zhou Bo? Which one is plotting rebellion?"
Zhou Bo didn't even look at him, he just raised his head slightly.
The jailer struck violently, hitting Zhou Bo's abdomen with the hilt of his sword. Zhou Bo bent down in pain, then gritted his teeth and straightened his body.
"I want to see Your Majesty...I am not guilty!
"
"Hahaha, how can you, a prisoner, be qualified to see His Majesty?!"
The jailer laughed and struck again, but Zhou Bo couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground in pain.
"This guy refuses to plead guilty, but he can be executed every day, five times a day, so that he can remember it for a long time!
!”
In the prison, Zhou Bo was tied up by Wu Huada and tortured and humiliated by the jailers in various ways every day.
However, Zhou Bo remained silent and gritted his teeth.
"I am the great Han Chehou... I want to see your majesty!
"
"Everyone in this prison is a prisoner. Where did the Marquis Che come from?"
"I have ten thousand houses and countless money. If you let me see Your Majesty, I will give you one thousand gold..."
"Hahaha, you should keep this thousand gold for yourself and bury it with you!
"
“Come here, help this guy confess his crime!
!”
Zhou Bo was lying on the ground, no longer as majestic as before, with disheveled hair. Several vicious jailers stood in front of him, throwing the food directly on the ground and asking him to pick it up and eat it.
