Section 312: The Xiapi Crisis

Four days later.

On Dingyou in the tenth month, the vanguard of the Han army commanded by Zhou Yafu crossed Changyi and arrived in Suiyang, where they joined forces with the Liang army led by King Liu Wu of Liang.

When the news came, the whole of Chang'an was in an uproar.

In the past fifty years, Chang'an has not lost any war with the princes and kings.

Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, Liu Xingju, these heroes of the past, used their heads to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the central army of the Han Dynasty.

The old example of Yingbu tells people that no matter how majestic the rebels were before and how many local armies and princes' armies they defeated, as long as the central army from Chang'an turns against the local princes' armies, all the advantages of the rebels will be in vain.

Unfortunately, Chang'an didn't have time to celebrate yet.

A piece of bad news came.

On the day when Zhou Yafu's army vanguard joined forces with Liang Jun, he went down to Pi to change his banner.

A man named Zhou Qiu trapped and killed Xiapi County captains, threatened the city with massacre, and coerced Xiapi County's landlords, powerful men, and officials to raise troops to respond to Liu Bi.

Zhou Qiu raised troops from Xiapi, coerced the county soldiers and landlords, powerful officials and gentry in Xiapi, and marched north.

Peijun is in emergency!

JAC is in a hurry!

Qilu is in a hurry!!

After Liu Che heard the news, he also sighed.

The court's face was completely lost this time!

Moreover, soon even the lining will be lost...

Zhou Qiu can be considered a character, although Liu Che did not remember that there was a guy named Zhou Qiu in history before he traveled through time.

However, in his previous life, this person was one of the few bright spots in Liu Bi's camp.

Single-handedly, he captured Xiapi, integrated Jianghuai, captured cities and territories along the way, and repeatedly defeated the local Han army that went to encircle and suppress Han troops.

In the end, he actually let him snowball into an army of more than 100,000 people.

Chengyang King Liu Xi ordered Chengyang Lieutenant to lead 30,000 people to attack. As a result, the entire army was wiped out...

If Wu Chu's sudden death had not caused him to become so disheartened that he retreated to Pi, and then died suddenly on the way to retreat, the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu might not have been calmed down so quickly in his previous life.

At the very least, if this person is determined to stand on his own feet, at the very least, the entire Jianghuai River will rot. The chaos between Wu and Chu will last for months or even years.

"Cao Mang is so heroic..." Liu Che sighed with emotion.

This Zhou Qiu is indeed considered a hero.

It's a pity that the pearl cast a secret shadow!

"Tell me, who is this Zhouqiu?" Liu Che put his hands behind his hands and looked at an official kneeling in front of him.

This official is Yang Xin, the governor of Xiapi County.

In his previous life, this man was the official whose head was beheaded by Zhou Qiu as a sacrifice to the flag. In this life, he came to Chang'an to report on his performance because of his performance evaluation. Therefore, he escaped with his life, but his county lieutenant took the knife on his behalf.

"Reporting back to my family, the person from Zhouqiu is the Zhou family of Xiapi. The Zhou family is one of the powerful men in Xiapi. Four years ago, this man killed someone while drunk. He was wanted by the guilty officials and fled to Wu Ni's place..." Xiapi

The governor of the county, Yang Xin, did not look like a frontier official at this time. He was as miserable as a bereaved dog.

The entire Xiapi County rebelled. This crime is not a small one!

When investigated, even if he is given a lighter sentence, he cannot escape the charge of dereliction of duty.

If the imperial court takes action, he will be killed!

When Liu Che heard this, he turned around and looked at the map.

When Han Xin became king of Chu, he made Xiapi his capital. After Han Xin dethroned the king, Xiapi was separated from Chu State and served as a barrier between the Jianghuai countries and Wu and Chu in the southeast.

Xiapi County was probably located in Jiangsu in later generations. During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Bu was killed by Amo in Xiapi.

To the north of Xiapi County is Chengyang Kingdom, to the east is Pei County, to the south is Wu Chu, and to the west is the sea.

In his previous life, Zhou Qiu first marched eastward and captured nearby cities, and then marched north to Chengyang, where he had fierce battles with the army of Liu Xi, king of Chengyang, and defeated them many times. Even Liu Xi's lieutenant was killed by his formation.

In the past life, many people said afterwards that if Liu Bi could give Zhou Qiu more support, even if it was just to give him 10,000 more veterans.

Then he can quickly defeat the Chengyang Kingdom and open up the communication between Wu Chu and Qi Lu.

The seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu will no longer fight independently.

The entire battle situation must be rewritten!

Of course, these are all arguments that only make sense after the fact.

The reality is that Liu Bi even refused the request of his veteran general Tian Lubo to divide his troops.

Therefore, in fact, Zhou Qiu only looks powerful.

As long as Liu Bi was defeated in the frontal battlefield, Zhou Qiu would be "suddenly killed" by his subordinates on the way to retreat.

What Liu Che is really interested in is - what is the state of affairs in the Jianghuai counties?

Twenty years of peace, far away from Chang'an, and blocked by the Three Kingdoms of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The local tycoons are really having fun!

This time, Zhou Qiu was able to change Xiapi's banner single-handedly. In the next month, his army snowballed to more than 100,000.

This fact shows that in the Jianghuai counties, the powerful local bureaucracy has become too powerful.

It's time to cut some leeks.

Liu Che lowered his head and thought for a while. He knew that now was not the time to pursue these old events.

After defeating Liu Bi, there will be time to settle the accounts later.

Now, for the sake of stability, neither Liu Che nor his emperor father will investigate who is responsible for this matter.

The key now is to protect Pei County, especially Pei County and Feng County.

Otherwise, the ancestral land of Longxing will be occupied by others.

Chang'an's face will really be lost!

Liu Che waved his hand and said: "Please go down first, I want to be alone for a while!"

After saying that, he ignored Yang Xin and headed straight towards the main hall of Jiaguan.

Thanks to Liu Bi's rebellion, no one dared to trip up Liu Che's food price protection policy.

From the court to the place, the light is green all the way.

Many people regard this matter as a welfare policy implemented by the royal family to win over the people.

Therefore, there is much cooperation and even help.

With the smooth progress of the grain purchase, more than 20 million five-baht coins flowed into the market smoothly, and the leverage power of finance began to take effect.

Due to the circulation of this new batch of money and the clear statement of the imperial court's attitude, despite the current turmoil in the world, the price of food in Guanzhong has not fluctuated.

A stone of new rice is now sold at a grain store in Chang'an City for fifty-five yuan.

This price is only slightly higher than the price of rice after the new rice was launched last year, and is far lower than the peak price of rice in Chang'an during the Wu-Chu Rebellion in the previous life, when the price was more than 100 yuan per stone.

Because of this incident, the prince Liu Che completely laid a foundation of fame among the people of Guanzhong.

Therefore, many people believed in the rumor that Liu Che was the successor designated by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.

Unless he was the successor appointed by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and was a naturally kind and kind king, how could he care so much about the common people?

The common people are so simple and honest.

At this time, fame is the prince's wings, even a sharp blade.

Like in his previous life, Liu Rong's reputation was not very good, so he could be easily deposed by the emperor.

And like Emperor Hui, even if Liu Bang wanted to depose him, he thought about it for a long time and finally did not dare to take action. Another example is Xiaozhu's prince Liu Ju, because he had a reputation as a kind and kind king, so when Jiang Chong wanted to arrest him, he could If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, he could almost repeat the story of the Sand Dune Incident or the Xuanwu Gate.

Liu Che came to Jiaguan to review the internal and external accounts of the Crown Prince's palace in the recent period.

He knows very well that as a superior, he only needs to grasp two keys to make the people below him obedient.

The first one is personnel.

The second one is finance.

If you do a good job of these two things, you won’t be afraid of people below playing tricks, plotting, or even losing your tail. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
