When Liu De came to Xuanshi Hall, there was a solemn atmosphere in the whole hall, and hundreds of generals and generals of all sizes crowded the hall.
Liu De took a look and found that many generals were blushing and excited, as if they had been given blood.
No matter ancient or modern, war is always the best stimulant for men!
"Your Highness..." Seeing Liu De's arrival, Prime Minister Shen Tujia quickly half-bent and saluted. Other generals also followed suit.
Liu De walked up to Shen Tujia and said, "Prime Minister, please get up quickly!" He then said to the generals, "Everyone, please get up too."
Then Liu De saw a giant map hanging in the middle of the hall.
This is a military map drawn on silk cloth. On the map, the direction of the river, the protrusions of the mountains, and even the location of the valleys are clearly marked one by one. Liu De even saw it on this map.
Use dotted and solid lines to mark national highways and rural roads, and use closed curves to show the differences in landforms.
Apart from the relatively simple painting and the blurry landmarks, there is nothing to fault about this map.
"This is the map of Chu drawn by Emperor Gao when he was conquering Yingbu in the south!" Shen Tujia introduced at the side: "It has been more than forty years now..."
In fact, Shentujia aside, Liu De also saw a line of explanatory text on the wooden tablets on both sides of the map: In the twelfth year of Yihai Maochen, the Shaofu will be dedicated to the Prime Minister.
However, it has been more than 40 years, so this map probably has only a reference value and is of little practical significance.
So Liu De turned his head and saw that the generals were paying attention to and discussing another map. To be precise, it should be a dozen maps of various sizes pieced together with silk cloth.
Next to each piece of silk cloth, there is a wooden tablet explaining where the map comes from and what it is used for.
What is different from the map drawn by Liu Bang more than 40 years ago is that these maps are specific to a certain county, with detailed markings on the areas where the Wu army is stationed, command posts, beacon towers, armories and other important facilities.
The location, in key areas, even has text descriptions. And from a time point of view, all of them are from the last ten years, five years and even last year. There are even maps of the Wu Kingdom that were drawn just last year. Some maps even indicate that they are the Shaofu of the King of Wu.
painted.
It seems that the Han Dynasty has been prepared for the Wu State for a long time! At least ten years ago, it had prepared for the possibility of Wu State's rebellion!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to find out King Wu’s family background so clearly!
The most interesting thing about these maps was that he saw distinctive symbols one after another on these maps.
Although it seems that these symbols have the same appearance, all of them are triangles. But if you look closely, you will find the differences.
There are triangles that look like towers and fortresses, there are triangles that look like tents, and there are even triangles that look like beacons at a glance.
The wisdom of the working people is infinite!
After simple processing, a small triangle replaced many special symbols of later generations.
Of course, these maps are limited by the technical level, mapping techniques and painters, so they look a bit blurry. If you are not an expert, you will not understand what these maps are saying even if you throw them in front of you.
Although Liu De had been a prince for more than ten years in his previous life, he had no difficulty understanding these maps.
However, he couldn't show it. He had to pretend to be studious and follow the generals around him for advice. The generals were naturally good teachers and patiently explained to Liu De the symbols and red and black lines on each map.
represent something.
In the eyes of these generals, Liu De is simply a rare military genius in the world, able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Not only that, the speed at which His Highness absorbs military knowledge is jaw-dropping. In just a moment, His Highness can already
After understanding the contents of a military map, one can also point out in a serious manner that a certain place is a gap or a defensive blind spot.
So many generals immediately had a good impression of Liu De.
At the very least, His Highness is a knowledgeable soldier, isn't he?
But who knew that Liu De had already memorized these basic knowledge by heart because of his more than ten years of life as a vassal king in his previous life, facing the map of the Hejian Kingdom and the defense map in the palace every day?
If he goes to lead the troops, his true colors will be revealed in one day.
"The emperor has arrived, and all the generals will greet you!" At this time, the eunuch at the door suddenly sang a promise.
Liu De and the generals quickly silenced each other, stood to one side and bowed: "Welcome my emperor!"
Liu De raised his head and took a glance, and found that the cheap man was now wearing armor and wearing a long sword on his waist. Surrounded by Chao Cuo, he walked into the hall with murderous intent. Obviously, he had made up his mind to touch Liu Bi.
Unfortunately, he forgot a very important thing. Since Empress Lu, every time the emperor of the Han Dynasty put on armor and wanted to start the war machine, the inevitable result was that the battle would definitely not be fought.
"Everyone is safe!" Emperor Liu Qi didn't care so much. At this moment, he was extremely excited. He felt that something hidden in his heart had awakened and was ready to tempt him.
Wipe out the princes, then raise troops to go north, defeat the Xiongnu, and achieve eternal hegemony that even Qin Shihuang has never had!
No emperor could refuse such a call to greatness.
"Give me a seat for you generals!" Emperor Liu Qi suppressed the impulse in his heart, tried to keep his tone calm, and waved his hands to give instructions, but Liu De still kept tapping the dragon's head on the throne from his fingers.
It was obvious that his father was very excited.
Emperor Liu Qi looked at Liu De and then ordered: "Liu De, sit next to me!"
"No!" Liu De nodded, bowed and walked to his side. Immediately, a eunuch came over carrying a seat and tables and placed them next to him.
After Liu De sat down and all the generals and ministers also took their seats, Emperor Liu Qi stood up, looked at the map hanging in the hall and on the wall, and said: "I have received an urgent report from Xingyang. King Liu Bi of Wu has arrived.
I have decided to rebel. All the generals are the humerus left to me by the late emperor, the generals of the Zhu Kingdom. How do you think I should respond? What will happen to the King of Wu if he rebels?"
Under the irrefutable evidence from Xingyang, even the anti-war Shen Tujia had no choice but to say anything at this time. He couldn't even care less about his grievances with Chao Cuo!
Instead, we must stand up and express our attitude, unite the government and the opposition, and deal with the possible rebellion of King Wu. Otherwise, if King Wu really rebels and the court is not prepared, the entire Jianghuai River and even the entire Guandong will be swept by war. By then, from the south of Xingyang
, will all fall into chaos.
So Shen Tujia came out to pay homage and said: "King Liu Bi of Wu, the head of the clan, if he rebels, it will have a great impact. The old minister thinks that crossing Wu and Chu is no longer reliable. Please ask your majesty to quickly order King Liang to return to the country and take charge of the defense of the river!"
"The Prime Minister and the old minister are planning for the country, and what he said is true!" Emperor Liu Qi nodded appreciatively after hearing this. Shentu was good at understanding the general situation and taking into account the overall situation. Otherwise, how could he have endured his stuttering until now?
Shen Tujia then reported: "The princes of Qi and Zhao need to be more vigilant. If the king of Wu really rebels, I think that Qi and Zhao will also make changes. Please choose a general to station in Xingyang to observe the emperor's festival and supervise the soldiers of Qi and Zhao. If something cannot be done,
, return to Xingyang and wait for help!"
After hearing this, Liu De couldn't help but praise, "Jiang is still hotter than ever!"
In the previous life, because Shen Tujia was already angry with Chao Cuo and vomited blood and died, no one in the whole court thought of this event. It was not until the chaos broke out in the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu that the cheap man hurriedly appointed Dou Ying as the general.
The emperor rushed to Xingyang, but by that time it was too late. King Liu Sui of Zhao, King Liu Biguang of Jinan, King Liu Xian of Zichuan, and King Liu Xian of Jiaoxi had all taken the first step to kill the Han ministers in the country and took military power in their hands.
Only the unlucky Huainan King Liu An was released from military power by his Prime Minister Zhang Shizhi and put under house arrest. Brothers in distress, Jibei King Liu Zhi was tied up with a knife by his own lieutenant, and did not have time to participate in the rebellion. Qi King Liu swayed back and forth in the house.
After struggling for a long time between rebelling and not rebelling, he was finally tied up by his own prime minister.
Later generations often talk about the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but the actual participants were the Ten Kingdoms.
However, Shen Tujia's words are too alarmist, at least, it is difficult to convince people.
Who doesn't know that the princes of Qi and Zhao are just a bunch of talkers, and there are many ministers who are pro-Han in the country, and most of the military power is controlled by ministers sent by the Han family.
Otherwise, how easy would it be for the imperial court to cut off the land? Just cut it off!
Even if it is an animal, if you cut a piece of meat from it, it will grunt a few times and dig its hooves, right? (To be continued...)
ps: Ah Xi~~ I don’t know how long I will be tormented by this dizziness and tinnitus!!!!!
Hmm~ That’s it for today. I’ll take a good rest. When I feel better, I will definitely pay off the debt~
