The three hundred and seventieth section of the pilgrimage
Half an hour later, Liu Che accepted Li Guang's audience in the main hall of Xuanshi Hall.
Liu Che remembered the last time he met Li Guang. At that time, Li Guang was still a Qianshi-level Qiaoqi Captain.
Now, with the east wind of Liu Bi's army, Li Guang is already a general with two thousand stones.
It's just that his general position was granted by Liang Wang Liu Wu...
Thinking of this, even Liu Che couldn't help but twitch in his heart.
In his previous life, Li Guang followed Zhou Yafu to attack Liu Bi, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and granted him the title of a prince based on merit, which was more than enough.
However, he happened to take the general's seal from Liu Wu, so he lost all the princes he got and was scolded and left out for a while.
Later, he was recommended by Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying and became the prefect of Shanggu.
While serving as the governor of Shanggu, Li Guang embarked on the road to becoming a famous general.
According to historical records, Li Guang was the governor of Shanggu and fought with the Xiongnu.
Sun Kunxie, the Duke of Dian, was so frightened that he wept and wrote a letter with blood, saying: Li Guang's talent is unparalleled in the world. He will fight with the enemy many times, fearing his death.
As a result, Li Guang was transferred to the post of governor of Shangjun.
It was during his tenure as the governor of Shangjun that Li Guang became a famous general recognized by the world.
Whether it was the story of killing the Hun sharpshooter with one arrow in front of the Huns army, or the story of Li Guang shooting the tiger, they have become eternal classic moments in history books.
Later generations once wrote a poem in praise of it: But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountains.
At this time, Liu Che looked at Li Guang and prostrated at his feet, respectfully, not to mention how happy he was in his heart!
This is just like the protagonist in later urban rebirth novels who turned Jack Ma and Mahua Teng into his employees.
This is something only those who have traveled through time and those who are reborn can taste.
It's just that it's so refreshing, after all, he has lived for three lifetimes. Liu Che has long been no longer the person who can't hide things.
He smiled slightly and said: "General, please get back on your feet quickly, royally, give General Li a seat!"
After Li Guang stood up, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Only then did Liu Che realize that Li Guang's arms were much longer and stronger than ordinary people. No wonder later generations misunderstood him as a general who was good at using bows and crossbows!
After Li Guang sat down, Liu Che asked: "I heard that the general was famous for his military training when he was a cavalry general. I don't know if the general has any secrets in military training. Please tell me!"
In the past, Liu Che had never had the opportunity to ask for advice on tactics from a general of Li Guang's level who was at the forefront of the development trend of the times.
At this time, when I met Li Guang, I was naturally curious.
Hearing this, Li Guang explained to Liu Che one by one the key points of his military training in Longyou with a proud look on his face. He also vividly explained to Liu Che several of his tricks in military training.
At the end, he bowed and said, "I believe that the way to lead an army lies in benevolence. Give benefits to the soldiers, and the soldiers will naturally use their lives..."
For Li Guang, this was an extremely rare opportunity to promote himself to the emperor, and he naturally knew to seize it.
Therefore, even though he is a taciturn person who doesn't like to talk much, at this time, he still talks endlessly.
After hearing this, Liu Che felt a little disappointed.
It's not that Li Guang's training methods are wrong.
In fact, Li Guang was quite good at training cavalry.
However, Li Guang's military training methods were too loose and blindly loose. To put it simply, they were too lax. The discipline of the army was almost useless!
As a time traveler, Liu Che knows the importance of military discipline.
An army without discipline is unlikely to achieve any victory.
Liu Che couldn't help but think of Cheng Bushi, another general as famous as Li Guang.
Cheng didn't know how to run an army, so he was almost at the opposite end of the spectrum from Li Guang.
Cheng Bu knew that in running the army, discipline was the first priority. Under his command, the units were hierarchical and had clear responsibilities. When marching, up, down, left, and right, they took over each other's cover. The front army and the rear army were closely connected, like a precision instrument.
,Every part must abide by the rules and regulations.
Li Guang's army, on the other hand, looked like a group of young and Dangerous boys going out to fight.
In the army, loyalty is more important than discipline. They often like to fight alone. When encountering the enemy, they will swarm up and beat the master to death with random punches.
Therefore, in history, it is not without reason that Li Guang's entire army was destroyed or even captured again and again.
"Perhaps I should meet Cheng Bushi..." Liu Che thought in his mind.
However, at this time, Cheng Bushi had not yet served as an official, and Liu Che did not know where to find this talented general.
"Perhaps, this examination can bring out Cheng Bushi..." For Liu Che, he admired generals like Cheng Bushi even more.
And the army he wants to build is more suitable for people like Cheng Bushi.
As for Li Guang?
Liu Che thought for a while, maybe the future commander of the Huangpu Military Academy in the Western Han Dynasty would be more suitable for him.
It is undoubtedly much better to have peaches and plums all over the world than to charge into battle, lose troops and generals, and finally end up dying of grief and anger!
Moreover, Liu Che felt that Li Guang should be positioned as an excellent officer trainer rather than a sole general.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, Liu Che still showed an appreciative smile on the surface and said: "General, he really deserves his reputation!"
"Your Majesty, you praise me..." Li Guang quickly bowed.
In fact, he already knew that this meeting was an assessment for him to serve as Weiyang Palace Guard. Therefore, he was quite nervous.
After all, he just made a fool of himself not long ago, which almost caused an uproar in the Chang'an government and the public. Some people are still using this to impeach him.
"I have discussed with the Empress Dowager and intend to let you serve as the Weiyang Palace Guard. Are you willing?" Liu Che asked. This matter has become a foregone conclusion. The Empress Dowager has already used the seal, so,
Today is actually just a formality.
…………………………
Two days later, Liu Che issued an edict, ordering King Liu Wu of Liang to go to Chang'an to see His Majesty.
When Liu Che issued this edict, he was actually very conflicted.
If possible, he did not want to send his uncle Liu Wu to Chang'an.
After the emperor's father passed away, Liu Che encouraged Chao Cuo to write a letter, saying that although the Wu thieves were determined, the country was not yet peaceful. The king of Liang still needed to be in charge of Suiyang to intimidate Xiao Xiao.
Either way, use this reason to keep Liu Wu in Suiyang, making it impossible for him to come to Chang'an to interfere with the smooth transfer of power.
But after putting it off for two or three months, I couldn't put it off any longer.
The Empress Dowager in the East Palace misses her young son as much as the weeds that grow wildly in midsummer.
This time, she even resorted to a unique trick - a hunger strike!
Liu Che couldn't hold on to the old lady's hunger strike at first, and he didn't dare to hold on anymore - the Han Dynasty claimed to rule the world with filial piety. Unfilial piety was the biggest sin.
Besides, Liu Che couldn't bear the consequences of really offending an empress dowager who missed her son.
At present, although the Empress Dowager wants to imitate Empress Lu, it is still unlikely that she will be crowned emperor.
However, it is simple, easy and enjoyable to teach the unfilial emperor's grandson a lesson and send the unfilial son to a high temple to face the wall and reflect on his faults.
Of course, politics is all about transactions.
Since Liu Che, a filial emperor, fulfilled the East Palace's wish to see his beloved little cotton-padded jacket Prince Liang.
Well, the Empress Dowager finally nodded in agreement, something that Liu Che had always wanted to do.
The next day, Liu Che made an imperial edict and changed the title of King Liu Yan of Hejian to the King of Jiangdu. He changed Guangling County to Jiangdu Kingdom, and conveniently placed several counties next to Guangling that are close to the Yangtze River and leading to the sea into the scope of Jiangdu Kingdom.
inside.
Then, Zhufu Yan and Zhou Ren were kicked to Jiangdu Kingdom. Zhufu Yan was appointed as the Prime Minister of Jiangdu, and Zhou Ren was appointed as Lang Zhongling. They were responsible for laying the foundation for Liu Che's great navigation strategy and being the pioneer.
At the same time, in order to express the importance and care Liu Che, the elder brother of the emperor, has for his younger brother.
Liu Che appointed Feng Tang as the prime minister of Jiangdu Kingdom and Zhang Shizhi as the censor of Jiangdu Kingdom. These two important ministers, who were famous all over the world, were responsible for assisting Liu Yan.
This also means that Liu Che has temporarily given up on his plan for the Central Advisory Committee.
Liu Yan got the benefit, and as the eldest brother, Liu Rong naturally couldn't go empty-handed.
Immediately, Liu Rong, the king of Changshan, moved to be the king of Huainan, and Liu Fei, the king of Zhongshan, annexed the Changshan Kingdom, merged Zhongshan and Changshan into one, and was still called the King of Zhongshan.
In order to achieve this goal, Liu Che not only compromised the East Palace when King Liang entered Beijing, but also handed over the power of changing titles to other princes and kings.
The future status of the two counties of Zhao, Chu, Kuaiji and Yuzhang were all decided by the East Palace.
After this incident, Liu Che felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The Empress Dowager of the East Palace is like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
Even though, in fact, the old lady in the East Palace was not very involved in politics, she rarely hindered Liu Che's administration, and she did not want to turn Liu Che into a puppet like Cixi or others.
However, as the emperor, Liu Che still felt constrained.
At this time, Liu Che finally understood why piglets in history killed their mothers to save their offspring.
…………………………………………
Liang Wang Liu Wu was very proud and proud at this time.
This great uncle of the Han Dynasty had reached a peak in his life at this moment.
The embarrassment and confusion that Wu Chu felt when he besieged Liang Kingdom were no longer visible to him at this time.
Now Liu Wu is the leader of the country.
The whole world said that this great king was a rare virtuous king.
Public opinion in Shilin favored him even more.
Many well-known literary figures turned to him one after another.
For example, this year, Mei Cheng, Zou Yang and others who publicly petitioned Wu King Liu Bi to launch an army came to Suiyang in person and became guests in his palace.
This further fueled Liu Wu's complacency.
Amidst the flattery, Liu Wu's mentality also quietly changed.
Especially, now that the late emperor has passed away, Liu Wu feels that no one can ride on his neck anymore except the Empress Dowager of the East Palace.
Even in the dead of night, he would have some crazy thoughts in his mind.
"The emperor of Chang'an is young, and at this time when the lord of the country is in doubt, I personally went to Chang'an to act as regent as the emperor's uncle. After the emperor comes of age, gets married and takes charge, he will return the power..." Once this idea took root in his mind, he
Like vines growing wantonly in the wilderness, it quickly occupied his entire mind.
Among his ministers, sycophants such as Yang Sheng saw his thoughts, so they often deliberately said in front of him: "The king has resisted the Wu thieves and ensured the peace of the country, which is a great achievement! Moreover, the late emperor once said:
After Qianqiu has passed, he will be crowned King of Liang, and the king will enter Chang'an. He can follow the story of Zhou Gong Yi Yin and assist the emperor..."
These words really scratched Liu Wu's itch and made him unable to restrain himself!
Liu Wu felt more and more that a mere Liang country had wronged a great talent like him.
He should be like Zhou Gong Yi Yin...
However, Changan kept using various excuses to force him to stay in Suiyang.
He couldn't do anything for a while.
Entering Beijing without permission is a serious crime!
Although Liu Wu was already a little excited at this time, he did not have the courage to violate this ancestral family law.
Finally, when his neck was about to break, a decree came from Chang'an: the King of Liang was ordered to come to Beijing for an audience.
After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Wu immediately set out on the road to Chang'an with three thousand guards and his civil and military ministers.
………………………………
In later generations, on the Han River plain, an alliance was being held.
As the host, King Shinban wore a brand new black royal robe, with a sword on his waist, and even his beard was specially trimmed in the most popular style in Chang'an.
He grabbed the ornament around his waist with all his strength, and intentionally or unintentionally, he showed it off in front of several other kings, making these kings look jealous and glare with anger.
In this land of later generations, there are now more than a dozen ethnic groups, large and small, living there.
More than a dozen kingdoms were established.
Originally, the boss of this land was Qi Zi Chaoshan, a remnant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, who ruled this wild land for hundreds of years.
At the end of the Warring States Period, in order to expand its territory and protect itself, the Yan State launched a conquest of the areas ruled by Qi Zi Korea.
The army of the State of Yan, which had been defeated repeatedly in the Central Plains, arrived in Korea. It was invincible and conquered, and the Korean army retreated step by step and gave up a large area of land.
As a result, the Korean rule over this land collapsed.
Chiefs of countless ethnic minorities became kings one after another.
But nominally, he still regarded Zhizi Chaoshan as the suzerain.
However, the good times did not last long. A few decades later, China was in chaos. Lu Wan, who had failed in the Chinese Civil War, under the command of Wei Man, launched a war against Qi Zi Korea and destroyed this regime that had existed for hundreds of years.
Its remnants fled to this land further south and established a country called Mahan.
Naturally, the rulers of Mahan hated the Weiman Korean regime with deep hatred.
As the former master, King Makoto had a great influence on other kingdoms.
Unlike later generations of Koreans who would always announce themselves as Koreans, the Mahan people especially like to flaunt themselves as Chinese.
At that time, there was a war in the late Qin Dynasty, and many people who originally lived in the Yan Kingdom fled to this place in order to escape the war.
These people have no food or clothing and are dying.
It was Chaozi Korea, who still ruled the area at that time, who came to help.
In the area south of Zhenfan Country, a space was set aside specifically to provide for Chinese refugees.
Local tribes were also mobilized to help reclaim wasteland, build houses, and provide food and firewood for heating.
Although the original purpose may be to obtain more of the Chinese population and the advanced farming technology they have mastered.
However, after the demise of Chaozi Korea, its survivors had to rely on the support of these Chinese refugees and local indigenous tribes to fight against the sworn enemy Weiman Joseon regime.
As a result, refugees from China began to have a say in the Maharashtra-Korean regime.
Although these people are in the land of Yi and Di, they have been educated by Huayi Dafang for so many years, and naturally they have deep-rooted thoughts of returning to their roots.
These are the guys who spend all their time in Mahan preaching about the inclusion of the Han Dynasty.
It was also the efforts of these guys that made most of the tribal regimes east of Manchu Korea admiring the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
I wish I could immediately throw myself into the warm embrace of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, become a glorious Han Chinese, become a Chinese people with great etiquette, and the beauty of service is Xia.
King Shinban is an example of someone who was brainwashed by these guys.
Not to mention King Ma Han.
For more than fifty years, Mahan, Zhenfan and more than a dozen nearby tribes, large and small, eagerly went to pay tribute to Chang'an as long as they had money in their pockets, so as to be proud of being canonized by the Emperor of Chang'an.
The reason for this alliance was that King Shinfan found a way to make a fortune in Chang'an. In the woods, ginseng, which was as valuable as a wild vegetable, turned out to be a hot commodity in China.
After more than half a year, Zhenfanguo has made a lot of money.
Naturally, other tribes and countries came to our door one after another, wanting to make a fortune together.
By the way, let’s make an appointment for everyone to go to Chang’an for pilgrimage.
"Ah, ah, you don't know, the current emperor, when I went there last time, held my hand and said that he wanted to ask the late emperor to give me the surname Liu!" King Zhenfan said arrogantly.
Other kings or chiefs showed off.
When the kings heard this, they all looked as if I didn't study well and you were deceived by me.
As the co-owner of nearby tribal countries, Ma Hanwang Qiu Chou even sneered bluntly: "King Zhenfan, stop fooling me. Will the Emperor of China give people national surnames at will?"
When King Zhenfan heard this, he immediately jumped up and questioned him about other things. He might not be so angry, but the current emperor of China had indeed promised to give him the surname Liu as a reward!
So, he took the robe that he had been reluctant to wear, and it was only reported today that he was showing off the royal robe, sword and ornaments given by the late emperor of the Han Dynasty, and asked the other kings: "Which of you has ever been so rewarded by the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
Pass?"
He even took out the precious King's Seal hanging on his waist and showed it off: "Look, look! Hanzhenfan King's Seal!"
"Which of you has one?"
All the kings and chiefs immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, this ancient barbaric land has gradually been civilized by the Chinese from Yan and Qin.
The arrival of Chinese culture has accelerated the development of regional civilization. At the same time, it has also made these chiefs and kings very envious of life in China.
In particular, the fathers and grandfathers who had gone on pilgrimage to Chang'an had a look of stupidity on their faces when they came back, praising China's strength and prosperity.
This further deepened their attachment to the Emperor of Chang'an.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chang'an is the holy land in their minds.
Who wants to be the king? Even the people will not recognize the legitimacy of his rule without even going to Chang'an.
Why are Shinban and Mahan so powerful and able to become the recognized co-leaders of all countries?
It's because they often go to Chang'an for pilgrimage...
King Shinban was as proud as a victorious rooster, holding his head high and looking at a group of kings who had been defeated by him.
Then, he put away the 'Han Zhen Fan Wang Seal' with great care and said: "Wait this year, I will take you to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and you will know that I did not lie to you!"
King Zhenfan recently found someone to make up Chinese history, and he knows that there is a saying called the Spring and Autumn Alliance, the overlord.
He summoned the kings this time just to take this opportunity to spread his wealth, and then become the overlord and leader of the alliance.
The others didn't know King Shinban's thoughts, and they all laughed immediately when they heard his words.
Everyone is willing to go to Chang'an!
Since King Shinfan has opened this door, naturally King Shinfan will reimburse all the expenses!
In the ancient tribal kingdom system, most people's minds are still simple.
Ma Han Wang Qiuqiu asked inappropriately: "I am going to Chang'an. Is Wang Xiancheng going to cause trouble for us?"
As soon as these words came out, other people who were originally in high spirits suddenly became dejected.
The Wei family of Wangxian City has been obstructing and intimidating these small countries and tribes, not allowing them to make pilgrimages to Chang'an, and they only want to be the co-lords of the Yi and Di in the East!
In the past, everyone passed through Weiman North Korea's territory quietly, but this time with such a big fanfare, I am afraid that Wang Xiancheng's army will definitely intercept, even rob and kill people on the road.
King Zhenfan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, everyone, just follow me. I promise that Wang Xiancheng will not dare to stop me. Otherwise, when the heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty arrive, the Wei family will become a fan!"
As King Zhenfan spoke, he repeated Liu Che's warning to Prince Weiman of Joseon last year to everyone.
When everyone heard it, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had already warned him. How could Wang Xiancheng be such a jerk?
It really pissed off the father of the Han Dynasty. Once the heavenly soldiers arrived and the little guards filled Korea, wouldn't they be destroyed immediately?
So, everyone was ready to go back and pack their luggage.
Some people even decided in their hearts that it was such a rare opportunity and they should take their sons, daughters, etc. with them.
In the Han Dynasty, if there is a chance, let them stay wherever they can.
Three days later, an unprecedentedly large Dongyi delegation walked swaggeringly under Wangxian City, the capital of Weiman Korea.
Originally, many people were worried, fearing that an army would suddenly rush out of Wangxian City and rob them or even hijack them.
But from the beginning to the end, the Wei army in Wangxian City, which used to be like wolves and tigers, has remained silent. Even the gate of Wangxian City is closed.
This made countless tribal chiefs who had been oppressed and humiliated by Weiman North Korea suddenly feel that their ideas were clear.
Some people even deliberately provoked the city.
As a result, Wangxian City was completely silent.
Therefore, the envoys were even happier than they had won a battle. Pushing large and small carts of tributes, they happily passed through the territory of Weiman North Korea and headed towards the holy land in their hearts, Chang'an.
……………………………………………………
In Wangxian City.
The Wei clan's North Korean monarchs and ministers stood at the top of the city with livid faces and watched all this.
The king of this generation, Wei Zhun, felt as if someone was hitting him in the face with a hammer.
The tributes in large and small carts pushed by the servants of the envoy even attracted the generals of Wei's North Korea. They couldn't be complacent and shouted: "Your Majesty, please give the order. There are so many things, let's go and grab them."
Come on! The Emperor of China may not pay attention to these small countries!"
But Wei Zhun didn't dare to take risks.
Wei's Korea was just a political regime established after Lu Wan's defeat, the scattered old tribes gathered together and conquered Zhizi's Korea.
Throughout the country, there are only a few thousand soldiers to fight. If we include slaves, we can muster up to 10,000 or 20,000 people.
However, the Han Dynasty was so big and vast.
As long as the soldiers of a county are mobilized, the Wei family will die without a burial place!
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Zhun made a decision.
He said to his eldest son: "Yan, I plan to send you to take people to the Xiongnu. Please make the Xiongnu Great Chanyu the suzerainty. As long as the Xiongnu Great Chanyu is willing to support us, then we don't have to be afraid of Chang'an!"
As soon as he said these words, he immediately won unanimous praise from other noble generals.
Unlike other Chinese refugees and immigrants scattered further east.
The main body of Wei's Korea was composed of the old troops of the defeated army who rebelled against the Han Dynasty and ruffians.
They have no sense of identity with Chang'an.
I even think that if the Chinese invade the barbarians, the barbarians will be conquered.
Nowadays, they have been given haircuts, pigtails, and earrings. They no longer regard themselves as Chinese, let alone Han!
In the hearts of these people, the Xiongnu actually made them feel more favorably.
After all, the old master Lu Wan surrendered to the Huns.
Moreover, they have always had contacts with the Xiongnu, and they are full of confidence in the strong strength of the Xiongnu.
In the eyes of these people, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not allow them to bully and plunder the tribes and countries in the east.
Then, they could simply deny the Han Dynasty as their suzerain and defect to the Xiongnu, which would have a much better future than the Han Dynasty.
It's just that the former king, out of wariness of the Huns and fear of becoming a puppet himself, has always resisted this proposal.
At this time, Wei Zhun was so stimulated that he no longer cared about whether he was a puppet or not.
At least, being the puppet of the Xiongnu can still survive. If the Han people come and kill them, their gang of rebellious officials, thieves, and murderers will all die without a burial place! (To be continued)
ps: ps: After checking the information, I realized how chaotic Korea was at that time!
The so-called three Koreas are actually one political power~~~~~~~~
Well, then again, the three Koreans, that is, the survivors of Yuzi Korea are still very interesting!
According to historical records, during the war in the late Qin Dynasty, Qi Zi Chao opened an area in eastern Korea specifically for Chinese refugees as a shelter.
This is the Jinhan region, one of the so-called Three Koreas.
In addition, it seems that today is my birthday in the Gregorian calendar?
