Appendix 12: 'Old Yanshu'. The Chronicle of Emperor Taizu Wu. Volume Two - Ge San
The imperial court discussed changing the Yuan Dynasty to Zhongping.
When Taizu opened his mansion, he worshiped Han Dang as the general of the guard and subordinate to the Sima; Lu Fan was the commander of the general of the guard; Lou Gui, Xi Zhong was the general of the guard and engaged in the army, Wang Xiu, Zao Zhi was the general of the guard and the official, and Wei Yue was the leader of the cavalry.
At that time, Hanoi was frequently plagued by bandits. When Taizu arrived, the thieves fled, and the people encouraged him. Along the way, he saw white horses and ladles to welcome him. Taizu had heard that Sima Zhi in Hanoi had a reputation as a virtuous man, so he went to visit him, and they had a very pleasant conversation. He recommended Zhang
The three sons of the family, Fan, Cheng, Zhao, Chang Lin, Han Xuan, Yang Jun, Wang Xiang, Han Hao, Fang Yue, Hao Meng, Zhao Zi, Sima Lang, etc., were all promoted by Taizu. At that time, all the outstanding figures gathered together and served as officials.
In the temple, sesame and jade are planted everywhere; in the small room, there are dazzling displays of flowers. Taizu sat and looked at it, and said with great joy: "All the heroes in Hanoi have entered my palace!"
After staying for a few months, Hanoi was about to be conquered. However, Luoyang Nangong suffered from Zhurong, and Emperor Ling ordered the people to pay ten coins per mu for the palace repairs. Taizu did not hesitate, but You worked hard to do it. Within a few days, he also ordered all states and counties to send wood and inscriptions.
Shi, sent his troops to the capital. Taizu was furious and wanted to resist his rebellion. Suddenly he heard that the Yellow Turbans in Hebei had resurrected and that the former Julu Governor Guo Dian had died in the battle. He also heard that the imperial court had forced Sima Zhi to become the Julu Governor. Zhi couldn't bear to do it. He went to Mengjin and looked up to him.
He died of the medicine. Taizu rushed to Mengjin and met Gongsun Fan on the river. He said that Liu Kuan had passed away and left all his affairs to Taizu. There was a suicide note for him. Taizu wrote the letter and wept, so he went to Luo to ask for his words. Emperor Ling agreed.
Taizu then sold all the property in Luozhong, got a thousand gold, and sold all the fine wine. He told Master Liu that the wine was good, and invited all those who came to pay tribute to have a drink. He carried the spirit to Mengjin, and said goodbye to everyone. He cut bottles and drank with them, vowing not to leave a penny.
The money was used to buy officials, but he would eventually pay it back to clear up the imperial court. At that time, Yuan Shao was on the side, and he was very different when he heard about it, so he regarded Taizu as a powerful enemy.
Taizu went to be buried at the foot of King Kuanwu Mountain. After finishing his burial, he returned from the north to western Liaoning, Changlin, and Han Hao asked to follow him. The general of the guard left his seal ribbon in Luo, and Emperor Ling sent an envoy to pursue him. He accepted it three times.
When they arrived in the State of Zhao, the refugees knew many of the white-horse Yi Cong, so they followed them, and there were more than ten thousand of them. Taizu could not bear to abandon them, so he divided Yi Cong to protect them and slowly moved north. When they arrived in Guangyang, the number of followers increased, and Taizu was concerned about the old and weak.
The people were impatient of hard work, so they moved to Changping to work in the fields. They set up a general's palace there, where Baima Yicong was stationed and taught privately. Everyone from Lu Fan to the next worked on their own, with their hands and feet covered, and they worked hard and slept hard. They suppressed the powerful and cleared the land.
, inspected the hidden households, organized and trained a number of troops, and in three years the area prospered greatly. Famous scholars such as Ju Zong, Du Ji, Jingze, etc. all went to join him.
When Taizu lived in Guangyang, he often sighed to himself when he heard that Fu Xie had been martyred repeatedly in Liangzhou. After a while, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, sent Xu You as his envoy to talk about abolishing the establishment. Taizu angrily denounced him. When You left, Taizu left.
When he came to the Xinghe River, he sighed. Some people on the left and right knew what he meant, and they all advised: "The emperor is confused, so he ordered the princes to not tolerate the court. Today, the people have rebelled, and the soldiers are not enough to defend themselves. The people in Youzhou Township have been kind to the emperor, and they will obey him. I will do it.
Live in peace in Guangyang, lead the righteous disciples, and assist them when they see the truth, so as to help the world." Taizu sighed: "The emperor is really stupid, but the chaos in Guanxi, how can Fu Nanrong be blamed? Wang Fen's disobedience, how can all the officials in Jizhou suffer?
?At the same time, there are many obstacles in Guizhou Province, so we should do something about it." Then the left and right stopped.
In the winter of the fifth year of Zhongping, the general He Jin sent a letter to Taizu, saying that he would lose military power and might hinder the execution of eunuchs. When Taizu heard about it, he led his own private troops to Hanoi, and the Northern Army in Luozhong and Xiyuan were filled with Taizu's old troops.
, came to visit one after another. When the eunuchs in Luozhong heard about it, they spoke to Emperor Ling and sent an edict to Zhang Wen, the captain of the Sili school, so that he could order Taizu to enter Luo. When they arrived, Taizu hung his sword on the gate. Zhang Wen sighed when he saw it.
He left in shame. In October, Emperor Ling's military parade was optimistic, but in the end he could not win, so he resumed military power.
In November, 100,000 thieves from Liangzhou invaded the Sanfu and marched towards Chang'an. The thieves were so fierce that they could not be defeated except by a famous general, so they crossed the river on a snowy night to invite Taizu. Feeling his sincerity, he agreed. He then worshiped Taizu as his general.
The imperial edict was issued to Sanhe and Five Schools, and an army of more than 20,000 people was mobilized to attack the west. After hearing that Cao Yu, Jia, a soldier in Taiwei's mansion, was good at strategy, he was recruited as a military commander and was in charge of military discipline. Most of the eunuchs in the five schools were eunuchs. When they heard that Taizu was a general, they were afraid.
When they arrived at Hangu Pass, Zhao Yanju, a brother of Zhao Zhong's clan, failed to arrive, so Taizu held the banner and beheaded him. The army was shaken, so he ordered Ruju to point his finger. When he arrived at Yong County, he joined Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo's army and set up camp in Lishui.
The walls are strong and there is no way out. We can only send out multiple scouts to detect the thieves' movements.
In the first month of the sixth year of Zhongping, Taizu learned that the thieves were defeated in Chencang and could not leave for more than a month. They ran out of food and wanted to retreat, so he organized his army and set up camp in the east of Chencang. At that time, Lu Fan arrived with an urgent letter, saying that Wuhuan and Xianbei were in rebellion in Youzhou, cutting off Liaodong.
, Zhang Ju occupied Guanzi City and pretended to be the emperor, but Taizu kept silent about it. He made an appointment with Song Zhuo, the leader of the thieves, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo Guo, etc., and decided to fight tomorrow. He sent a farewell letter to Sui, and implemented a counter-intuitive plan. On the tenth day of the lunar month,
, with Xu Rong commanding all the cavalry, and Lu Bu leading the white horse Yi Cong as the front, they defeated the thieves in one burst, beheading more than ten thousand people. They also sent Han Dang in advance to lead two thousand cavalry to defeat the enemy, and then drove the thieves to the Wei River. The thieves swarmed across the river on the ice, and the ice broke.
Thousands of people died in the trap. The remaining people surrendered, but there were more than 30,000. Those who escaped by luck were less than 10,000. Taizu thought that the thieves were evil in nature and feared power, so he punished them by killing eleven people. The leader of the thieves, Li Xiangru, was hammered to death.
Cheng Gongying and others. Han Sui and others saw it across the river. Their liver and gallbladder were split, and they dared not return to the east for the rest of their lives. After the incident, Taizu immediately sent the entire army to Song and returned to Youzhou with his white horse. Before leaving, he asked about the future of Xu.
, Xu said: "If the prince arrives late, he can go from Jizhou to Hanoi; if he arrives early, why not go to Bingzhou." Taizu said.
Guanzhong was in peace, and the imperial court gave Taizu a scepter for his merits, so that he could control all the counties in Foreland of Youzhou and Zhongshan, and the military affairs of Changshan County. In February, Taizu went to Fanzhou to know the enemy's situation, and he mobilized the elites of the five counties of Youzhou.
Riding, he led his righteous followers to Lulongsai. In Bingchen, Emperor Ling died.
In March, Taizu led Gao Shun's three thousand troops as the vanguard, followed by Wei Yue, who led seven thousand of his own troops out of the fortress. After a battle, he went to Guanzicheng, captured Zhang Ju, and beheaded him to inform Youzhou. He heard that Liucheng was empty.
, he stayed in Shun to guard the city, and led his troops across the Daling River in order to capture it urgently. Before they were halfway through, Duanbu Xianbei suddenly sent an envoy to report that Wuhuan Shanyu Qiu Liju had led 20,000 troops to lie down at Xiaoling.
East of the river, a starry night came. At that time, people were sipping hot soup in the open fire. The salty water turned pale and the soup flowed all over the ground. However, Taizu was unmoved. He sipped slowly, raised the bowl again and said, "This bowl can catch a thief!"
Naian'an. Taizu, seeing that the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, returned to cross the Daling River in order to join forces with Shun. The thieves pursued him in a hurry and fought on the river bank, but it was a bit disadvantageous. Zhao Yunshi was the commander of Qu, and seeing the situation urgent, he led the Eighteenth Army of his headquarters.
Riding together, they rushed into the formation, seven in and seven out, killing generals and grabbing flags. The enemy was invincible. With the help of Fen Black Otter, the enemy formation was defeated. Wei Yue, Han Dang, Lou Gui, etc. also came to the rescue one after another. Qiu Liju
Unexpectedly, they could not win, so they retreated back to Liucheng. It was raining heavily, and Taizu knew that the thieves would not be prepared. He led 15,000 horsemen to attack Liucheng at night.
, also sent troops to defeat Wuhuan in Liaodong, and chased and killed the enemy chief Su Puyan. Wuhuan was defeated. The court discussed the posthumous title of Emperor Ling, saying "Ling", and changed it to Yuan Guangxi.
In April, Qiu Liju's Zilou Ban led Xianbei Kebi Neng's 10,000 cavalry to attack Liucheng. Taizu defeated them and killed Lou Ban. The Wuhuan king's descendants were cut off, so he moved his tribes, built three guards in western Liaoning, and organized the people into households.
, and each gave rewards and punishments. Wuhuan returned to his heart and served as Taizu's pioneer for several decades.
Prince Bian ascended the throne and the Queen Mother came to court. General He Jin and Yuan Shao conspired to kill the eunuchs, but the Queen Mother refused to listen. Jin then summoned three groups of border troops and recruited five groups of troops. He also wanted to use Taizu as backup to suppress the situation and threaten the Queen Mother. The letter arrives
In western Liaoning, Taizu laughed when he saw it and said: "It is appropriate to have eunuchs and erect officials in ancient and modern times, but the master of the world should not use false power and favor to do this. Since his crimes should be punished, the evil of the Yuan Dynasty should be punished. One jailer is enough, why bother with them one after another?
Are you summoning an outside general? If you want to kill him, the matter must be revealed. I am afraid that I will see his defeat before I arrive." Not long after, Shi Chang's servant Guo stabbed into the Jiade Hall of Nangong. Luozhong was in chaos, and everyone attacked and killed each other.
"Book of the Later Han Dynasty". Only Gongsun Yue led troops to escort his family members to Hanoi to protect their descendants.
Taizu returned from outside the fortress and went to Juyang. He gave a banquet to all the heroes of Youzhou with two thousand stones, and also met the state pastor Liu Yu. Yu thought he was weak, so he entrusted the government of the state to Taizu.
In the seventh month, Taizu heard that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, abolished the establishment, and poisoned the Queen Mother. He met in Changshan to make an alliance and vowed to fight against it. There were many governors in Hebei Province and they recommended Taizu as the leader of the alliance. Tian Feng heard about it and offered his advice.
Bingzhou captured Luoyang Guanzhong. Taizu was happy and worshiped him as the right army commander Zhonglang General. So Lu Fan stayed behind and Cheng Pu assisted him. He sent 20,000 troops to fight against Zhuo. At that time, Yuan Shao also joined the Suanzao Alliance to fight against Zhuo, and many princes in the Central Plains followed him.
Tao Qian held an alliance in Xuzhou, and many princes from Huaiyang followed him. Zhuo was frightened by the news and wanted to move the capital to Guanzhong.
When the counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dingxiang in Bingzhou heard that Taizu had arrived, they all joined in with each other as if the clouds were turning and the sun appeared. However, the Xiongnu pseudo-chan sent troops to loot and block the road at Xubuguduhou. Taizu went to Mayi.
After the great defeat, they captured and killed Xubu Guduhou and drove the remaining troops to the west of Hexi. In the twelfth lunar month, when they arrived in Taiyuan, the prefect Yang Zhong relied on the fortified city of Jinyang and wanted to resist. However, the famous clans in the city turned against him, killed him and dedicated the city.
In the first month of the first month of the Yuan Dynasty, the Xiongnu chanyu Yu Fuluo and others were confined to the Shangdang. Feeling the virtue of Taizu's right position, he led his troops to surrender, but Taizu still led his headquarters. Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, suddenly lost the Xiongnu.
With the help of Taizu, he offered his county to Taizu and went south to Hanoi. Gongsun Yue and others were originally trapped in Hanoi, so they went to Jinyang via Shangdang to visit Taizu. Taizu was overjoyed when he saw it, and stayed with Yue to guard Jinyang, and ordered him to recruit soldiers to guard Shangdang.
, since he organized his troops and left Hedong to attack the Baibo bandits. The bandits were the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Taizu wanted to put them down quickly, but also worried about avoiding the battle. Famous soldiers and guards from Hedong proposed suggestions, and they should use their strength to force the thieves to attack.
The ancestor accepted him and hired him as a member of the palace. He set up camp at the Gaoliang Pavilion and used many scouts to disturb the thieves' rear.
In February, the bandits Guo gathered a hundred thousand people to attack. Taizu sent out 20,000 cavalry of the entire army to counterattack, and wiped out more than 10,000 bandit cavalry. Gaoshun troops were also used to guard the camp, and many trenches were set up with deer and firewood. The bandits arrived at noon.
At dusk, the dead and wounded were lying on their pillows, and they could not get out. At dusk, Taizu went out of the camp and led 20,000 cavalrymen to line up in the east. His army was well-organized and their armor was dazzling. They were dazzling in the setting sun, like gods, and the thieves looked at him with horror.
Taizu saw that the thieves were shaking, so he ordered the whole army to cheer, stopped, no drums, and led the crowd forward. The thieves array saw the flag wavering, but before they could reach ten steps, they stopped suddenly. The thieves were suddenly surprised, and the formation gradually collapsed. This happened again and again.
, the whole army of thieves was shaken, and scattered left and right. The leader of the thieves, Guo Taizu, looked at him from a distance, and knew that he could not do anything. He also understood Taizu's intention, so he killed himself and sent his bodyguard to a box with his head to surrender. Taizu inspected the surrendered generals and killed those who looted the countryside.
Those who are arrogant and lawless will be punished, and those who behave well will be comforted, and everyone will have peace of mind. Then he united his troops, approached Maojin, and peeped into the river.
At the beginning, Zhuo heard that Taizu was coming, so he burned the palaces, temples, officials and homes, and moved millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. They drove them on foot and on horseback, and even crossed each other. Hungry bandits plundered them, and the road was filled with corpses for two hundred miles.
There were no survivors inside. When Taizu arrived at Maojin, Zhuo also arrived. Taizu offered a reward across the river, saying that whoever killed Zhuo Zhuo would be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the rank of marquis. Those who left the whole body would be rewarded with ten coins. Zhuo was furious and died.
Unable to do anything, he entered the Pass to the west. Lu Bu was left behind, Jia Xu guarded Taolinsai, Zhang Ji guarded Pujin, Niu Fu, and Li Ru guarded Shaanxi County. Taizu crossed the river and instigated rebellion against the old troops Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, etc., killing Fu and Ru.
In May, Taizu divided Lou Gui, Tian Feng, Han Dang and others to attack Pujin, and led his partial troops to Taolinsai. Gui and others fought hard for the whole day, while Lai Xuhuang sneaked across to pick mulberry, and attacked for 240 miles in six days, defeating the enemy.
In three cities, they defeated Pujin and beheaded Zhang Ji. When Jia Xu heard about the battle in Pujin, he lured Lu Bu to rescue him and offered himself to Taizu. He also admonished him to attack Xiwu with light troops and capture Dong Zhuo first. Taizu did so and stayed behind.
The soldiers guarded the pass, and they led seven thousand cavalry to advance rapidly, crossing Chang'an without entering. In five days, they arrived at Xinwu and surrounded it. Zhang Liao was appointed as the commander of the other tribe, leading two thousand cavalry, and set up camp at Wuzhangyuan to prevent their reinforcements. Zhuo's general
Wang Fang returned from Sanguan to rescue him. In the night of Liao Dynasty, he attacked his army, killed him, and sent his leader into Wu.
Since Zhuo was surrounded, the people in Guanzhong attached themselves to Taizu, and within ten months, they came to surrender one after another. The generals also defeated the enemy and came to help, and became incorruptible. Wei Yue and others killed Zhuo's younger brother Min, and sent him to Wu. Liangzhou Ma Teng,
When Han Sui heard that Min was dead, he handed over a petition to surrender and offered his son as a righteous obedience. Taizu accepted it. Zhuo Guan Wu's surroundings became thicker, and he also heard that Taizu sent the overlord's broken blade to Wu, which he had given as a gift when he merged with the state. Wu finally could not
To avoid this, Taizu wanted to destroy his family, so he ordered Diao Chan to prick him. When Taizu came to Wu, he was surprised when he saw it, so he accepted her and made her his wife. It was also said that Wang Ping of Liangkang and Zhuo's granddaughter Bai Yuan were married, and it was passed down that
The most outstanding one is Sanfu.
Taizu attacked Zhuo Bi and returned to Chang'an. He was greeted by hundreds of officials and ordered to see the Han emperor. Taizu went to Weiyang Palace and criticized the world. He blamed the emperors for their lack of moral integrity, eunuchs and eunuchs who brought disaster to the country, corrupt ministers, hypocritical families, and tyrannical mergers.
The generals on the border were domineering, and everyone was ashamed, and no one dared to resist. Taizu said: "From today on, I will whip the world, comfort the soldiers and calm the people, and I will do it myself!" After living in Chang'an for several months, he issued the "Order for Seeking Talents" and paid homage to Xun You.
He became the lieutenant general in the rear military division; he collected the bad money minted by Dong Zhuo and recast it into new money; he cleared the fields to check hidden areas and suppressed mergers; he used work instead of relief to help the people; he eliminated redundant personnel and reduced military supplies. The atmosphere in Guanzhong was changed into a new one.
Zhaoji, Cai Yong's daughter, admired Taizu for a long time. When she saw the new policy, she said: "This is a true hero!" She recommended herself at night and Taizu accepted her, and she became Mrs. Cai.
In the first month of the first month, the court discussed changing the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an. An old friend, Tian Kai, went to Chang'an to pay a visit to Taizu. Taizu was overjoyed and rode a captain, and invited him to stay in General Wei's Mansion, where he slept on the same bed and met Empress Xiaozhuang. Kai was cautious at first, but gradually relaxed.
So Kuo Lue had no courtesy and spoke to Taizu about the word "hu". Pang De was angry and asked to kill him, but Taizu refused and said: "Gongzhigu is an old friend of my youth, a local and an old friend from the same county."
As an official, why do you do this?" De Chu spoke with Zhang Ji, Jing Ze and others, Ze said: "We should show him with authority and courtesy." Tomorrow, Taizu will hold a meeting with the three auxiliary generals and officials at Mingguang Palace to discuss Hebei.
War. Kaiben did not call for help. He invited him in with empty words. When he entered the Guangming Palace, he saw countless ministers, all sitting in a row. Pang De led Yi to join the army, and Jingze led tigers to fight the army. They also wore robes surrounding the palace and outside, and Kai took his place.
Sitting in the corner, Kai Sui was shocked, knowing that Taizu was magnanimous, and he later became more cautious in serving Taizu.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao wanted to fight for Zhuge Liang and presented himself as a general of chariots and cavalry. He established an alliance with Suanzao and most of the princes in the Central Plains. Shao was generous on the outside but taboo on the inside. He did not bother to conquer the west and focused on annexation. Within a few years, Bao Xin died.
They forced Liu Dai, chased Kong Rong, imprisoned Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, killed Qiao Mao and Zang Hong, and annexed their land and subordinates, so that they could become powerful. Then they drove Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and defeated the governor of Bohai, Gongsun Zan, and collected Jushou and Xin Ping.
Xin Pi, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Yu Jin, Zhang He and other civil and military officials wanted to go to Hebei. The imperial court issued an edict and denounced them as national traitors. After hearing the edict, Zeng did not change it slightly, and rounded up Guan Yu to Handan. Taizu
Angry, the general returned from Bingzhou to Hebei to fight against it. Shao's army besieged Handan and was too anxious to leave. Yu backed the city and set up a stronghold. Every time he went out, he would be captured. The killings were heavy and the morale of Shao's army was low. Shao Nai left 20,000 troops trapped in Handan.
, the rest of the army rested during the Liang period.
In August, Taizu led two thousand white-horse soldiers to advance to Jingxing. Zhang Yan, a bandit from Zishan, blocked the way. There were more than 20,000 thieves. Taizu sent three thousand soldiers from the county and five thousand troops to attack.
After crossing the river and setting up camp, the sentry riders returned at night. They heard that Zhang Yan's camp was constantly smoked and could be seen under the moonlight. Taizu then knew that the thieves wanted to carry out a secret attack in Huaiyin. He called all the military advisors to confront him, but the matter was hasty, and all the soldiers
No one knew what they were doing, but Taizu laughed, claiming that he had a plan, and would know it tomorrow, and left and right in panic. The next day, Taizu gathered the entire army, destroyed the camp, cut off the pontoon bridge, and called the cauldrons to sink the boats. He sent the entire army forward and reached the valley.
When they met, Zhang Yan divided half of his troops, leaving only ten thousand troops, and they were all mixed together, so they were wiped out in a battle. Yan killed himself, and the rest of the troops surrendered. Taizu showed him how to arrange it in Yan's stronghold, and everyone began to realize it, so they praised it and said: "Ming Ming
The Duke's strategy is actually based on King Xiang's old strategy and the old wisdom of Lin Huaiyin Marquis." Taizu smiled again and said to him: "You are so wrong. Zhang Yan divided his troops and actually made a desperate move, so it is called Huaiyin's old strategy, but it is actually
King Xiang's old plan: I abandoned the camp and moved forward, destroying the cauldron and sinking the boat. In fact, I knew the enemy's strategy and attacked its weakness. Therefore, it is called King Xiang's old plan. It is actually Huaiyin's old plan. And my husband, how can Han Xin be able to defeat Xiang Yu?"
At the end of the month, Taizu came to Zhending and ordered the fine cavalry from Youzhou to gather. He found that Handan was very strong, so he did not rush to rescue him, so as to gather more troops.
In September, Shao heard that Taizu was coming from the east and raised 300,000 troops to besiege Handan. On the sixth day of the month, Handan was in danger. Zhang Fei led 500 cavalry to help and killed Shao's general Lu Kuang. Xu You heard that Fei's troops were all cavalry.
Knowing that Taizu had arrived, he urged Shao to withdraw his troops and defend Yecheng. When Taizu saw most of Shao's army arriving in the Liang period, he sent 20,000 cavalry to attack Chen Gong's army behind him. Shao's entire army had more than 8,000 cavalry, and they fought hard to defeat the rear.
The casualties were all over and the palace officials were able to escape. Taizu then withdrew his troops and arranged for a decisive battle with Shao in three days' time.
On that day, Shao's army formed a formation and placed the remnants of the cavalry in front of the formation, hoping to lure Taizu into a trap. Taizu was unmoved and instead used his body as bait to lure Shao's army forward. When the formation dispersed, he followed with his white horse.
As the vanguard, tens of thousands of cavalry broke through the formation and defeated it with one blow. Shao's army was defeated, and those below Chang Shi Chen Gong were killed in the battle. Shao, Jushu, Xu You, Guo Tu and others abandoned their carriages and fled at night, but met Wei on the road.
Yue, you said that Yue would be released with the words of supporting the bandits. Yue returned to the camp, drank until he was drunk, and made some grievances. Tomorrow, Taizu will know Yue's words and deeds, gather all the generals, and kill him.
After Shao returned, Yu Qiang cheered up and ordered Feng Ji to be the general shogunate. Xin Ping was in charge of the city defense, hoping to lure Taizu to attack the city and engage in a fight with trapped beasts. Taizu was stunned when he heard this and regarded Liang Qi as a worn out shoe. He ordered Guan Yu and Xu
Huang, Zhang Liao and others led 30,000 elite troops to attack Wu'an, seize Chaoge, capture Liyang, and cut off the southern road of Shao. They then led 10,000 weak soldiers, crossed the Zhang River, stationed themselves in Guangzong, and lured Shao to attack. They then led the main force to confront Shao.
Shao waited for a long time and Taizu did not arrive, so he retreated to Yecheng. When he heard that Guan Yu had gone to Liyang, he was greatly afraid.
Pingyuan. However, with an army of 80,000, they surrounded Guangzong for more than ten days and could not move down, and their energy became increasingly depressed.
In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Taizu himself sent 60,000 troops to attack Shao, and Yu also led 20,000 troops to help. When Shao heard that Taizu was coming, he abandoned Guangzong and headed east. Taizu hurriedly pursued him. Xu You offered his plan to the border near the Qinghe River.
An ambush was set up on the bridge. Taizu was raising his front, and Emperor Taizongren was sitting on a high platform, watching Gao Shun's ambush shield severely defeat the Shao army and kill Fengji. The Shao army was defeated, and all the tribes fled far away, many of them surrendered.
After Taizu overturned the Shao army, he divided the five prefectures of You, Ji, Si, and Qing into You, Ping, Ji, Ying, Qing, Yong, and Si, and merged the nine prefectures of Shaanxi, with Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Cheng Pu, and Guan Yu.
After that, he became the shepherd. Then he entrusted the war affairs with Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui, and Han as his deputy. He took Emperor Taizong Ren back to the north to inspect the spring plowing.
Shao fled eastward from Qinghe Plain to Liaocheng at the mouth of the Yellow River in February. Seeing Zhu Ling, Taishi Ci led the Liaodong fleet to cross the sea and surrounded Liaocheng tightly. He was exhausted mentally and physically and died on the city. You and others surrendered. Jushou
After hearing Shao's death, he committed suicide. Shaozi Tan surrendered to Yecheng.
In March, Taizu arrived at Gaoyang, summoned Zhang He to surrender, and sent him to take over Gongsun Zan's tribe. He worshiped Zan as a guard and left for Chang'an. In May, he entered Jinan and had to kill Xu You because of the border bridge. The rest were pardoned.
After his death, he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Shaanzhou, and the people of Qingzhou were at peace. Then, Gaomi Zheng Xuan was promoted to Taichang, he built a university, conducted scientific examinations, established a three-chief system, and opened Youzhou people's settlements as households, and divided the land among them.
Farming was reestablished in the four prefectures of Hebei, Ying, Qing, and Shaanxi. The stalls were assigned to the land tax. It was said in the world to save the people and was praised as a good deed at home.
For three years, the Central Plains was in turmoil. Jian, Cao, Bei, Biao, Shu, cloth, etc., were attacking each other vertically and horizontally, and the people were in dire straits. Taizu established industry and property in Hebei, and moved the people into villages to create households, and the people were happy. In the autumn, Gongsun
Yue and Gongsun Fan both went out of the fortress and hunted Xianbei in the Yin Mountains. They captured more than 20,000 people and beheaded more than 10,000 people. Kebi was able to flee far to the north of the desert. From then on, there was no Shan Yuting in the south of the desert.
In the fourth year, the Bronze Bird Tower was built on the bank of Zhang River in Yecheng.
In the seventh month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han tied his hair and Taizu went to congratulate him from Yecheng. When he arrived in Chang'an, the crowd was horrified by the ugliness. Wang Yun and all the rebels made a plan to Taizu and reiterated the old oath. Not long after, eight people attended the meeting, and the leader came out.
Fourth, the minister asked to be the general, but he was not accepted. The general invited Dong Cheng, the captain of the city gate school, and the left Zhonglang general to lie down. Wang Bin, the right Zhonglang general, was worried about it. They met in chaos and raised troops to attack the arsenal, but nothing happened.
Seeing the defeat, he was executed. The two sons of the Wang family were ordered to be killed, and they were brought into the palace to deal with Dong and the two nobles. Taizu sighed and said to him: "I have been in the Han Dynasty for several years. Although I started well, I can't finish well. I am already very ashamed.
, How can we do nothing to rectify the violation of ministerial ethics?" Although the left and right responded, it was not worth it. Taizu pardoned Wang Yun and left Gongsun Zan to guard Chang'an. From the general, he conquered Shu. When he arrived at Chencang, he made Liu Yan's eldest son Fan the pastor of Yizhou.
As an envoy, he persuaded his father to surrender; he took Zhao Qian of Chengdu as his disciple to appease the county chiefs in Yizhou; he took Zhao Yun, the Cavalry Commander, as the vanguard to leave Sanguan and strangle the Wudu Road; he took General Gongsun Yue of Zhenxi as the rear army, and together with
Zhong Yao, the herdsman of Yongzhou, was transporting grain and grass. Not long after, the envoys did not return, the rear army did not arrive, and the grain and grass were not collected. Wuwei Pang, an official from the four western counties of Liangzhou, arrived. They all talked about the chaos in the western region, the harassment of Xianbei in the west, and the people of the four counties.
In response to his sorrow, he spoke sincerely, with tears streaming down his spine, and many people at the banquet shed tears. Taizu felt his loyalty and sighed at his sincerity, so he cut the case and swore an oath, and changed his army to the west. Han Sui and Ma Teng were frightened when they heard this.
Teng Zichao led the team for justice, knelt down to Teng, and persuaded him, so he surrendered and worshiped Jinwu as his commander. He then wanted to flee west, but before he could go, he heard that Zhao Yun had dug through Wushan and set up camp on Didao to cut off its access.
, so he had no choice but to go east and ask for surrender. Taizu worshiped him as General Pingxi, and he was the protector of the Western Region. He stationed him in Gancheng to maintain the Silk Road trade routes. He was promoted to the champion general and given the rank.
Liangzhou was established, and Taizu divided it into two states, Zang and Liang, with each setting up a garrison. He returned to the south to conquer Shu, and when he arrived in Hanzhong, the prefect Zhang Lu came back alone, but Taizu still guarded it, and Zhao Yun led an army to garrison.
The general was about to return to the capital, but he suddenly heard that the Emperor of Han was bewitched by the Yang family and abandoned the imperial mausoleum of Gongqing to go eastward. Huben Zhonglang followed him from Jingze, and the Taiwei Liu Yu blocked the Qingming Gate. The Emperor of Han sent his attendant Yang Qi to send his troops
He killed him and fled to Nanyang. Taizu had no choice but to abandon Shu and return to Chang'an.
In the first month of the sixth year, the ministers came to the table and told the story of Zhao Gong. They proposed to add Taizu Yan Gong as military commander of the eleven prefectures in Hebei Province, and to entrust the five counties of Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Guangyang and Zhuo. Taizu's three words were accepted.
When the Yan Kingdom was founded, three phases, four platforms, six divisions and twelve temples were established. The importance of the seven phases had not been seen since the Han Dynasty. It spread throughout the world and attracted the attention of scholars. People with lofty ideals came in droves, and Ye's subordinates couldn't understand it.
In April, Taizu sent three lines to Nanyang to advise the Han Emperor to return to Chang'an in the hope of being safe, but in the end he found nothing and had no choice but to raise troops. Cao Cao and Liu Bei also joined forces to reject him. Cao Cao sent troops and Liu Bei prepared grain.
.
In the fifth month, Taizu led Xu Huang and Zhang Jiao as the vanguard to cross the river and pull out the white horses. Cao also sent Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 cavalry to Yanjin. Taizu inspected it and personally led the army to hunt, and Zhang Liao's formation killed Yuan. Cao retreated to the south of Pu River.
After setting up camp, Taizu also marched to the north of the water, each with a hundred thousand men, and faced each other in the camp. After staying there for ten days, he thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, so he ordered Lou Gui to guard the camp with infantry, and he rode 40,000 people westward, hoping to
Entering Sizhou, marching to Zhongmou, directly attacking Chenliu, and taking Cao Cao's back. When they arrived at Guandu, Cao Cao had already built a fortress and was waiting. Taizu sighed and noticed that his troops were few, so he ordered the generals to attack quickly. The battle was not over yet, Cao Cao had already
He led a large army to rescue him. When the battle was over, Taizu's army gradually gained victory, and then defeated them, killing them in vain. Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Lu Dai, Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Wang Bi and others all died in the battle. But in the end
Unable to conquer the fortress, at daybreak, Cao Ren led 30,000 troops to arrive. Taizu also withdrew his troops and built a fort across the river to the north. Taking advantage of the strength of the army, he abandoned all the troops north of the Bian River and defended Guandu. Taizu also moved his camp to Guandu.
, the confrontation remains as before. Taizu has been in control of the sea, and the barbarians and the Chou have been suppressed. His army and troops are mostly based on the methods of Sun and Wu.
Those who follow the orders will win, those who disobey will be defeated. When facing off against the captives, the mind is at ease, as if not wanting to fight. However, when the decisive opportunity comes to seize the victory, the momentum is overflowing, so every battle will be defeated, and the army will not be lucky to win. Use force throughout your life,
He has no rivals, only Cao Cao can compete with him.
By mid-September, the war was getting more intense, and Prime Minister Lu Fan's eldest son died in the battle. Taizu heard this and said nothing. Emperor Shiren was not crowned, and all his attendants were working on the white horse. The next day, they all entered Guandu, and everyone on the left and right was shocked.
.Suddenly I heard that Guan Yu crossed the river in white clothes, took down Pi, and defeated Zhou Yu. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard that he had no chance of victory, so he took the risk and accepted Huang Gai's plan and sent him to pretend to surrender. He set up eight battalions in ambush at Wuchao and sent seven troops to hide.
They marched to attack Yecheng. Taizu understood the plan and counterattacked and defeated it. Seven armies marched north, but none of their horses returned. Nine camps in Wuchao were killed and wounded. Cao and Liu's famous generals were all scattered. Cao had no choice but to abandon his official position and flee south.
, was sold by Lü Bu and executed himself outside the White Gate Tower in Wancheng. When Taizu heard about it from Xu, he felt as if he had lost his liver and gallbladder, and was heartbroken. He gave full power to the Central Plains to Lü Fan and returned to Yecheng. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty heard about Cao's death and went south to Jiangxia.
In the seventh year, Xu Shu succeeded in attacking Shu, and Shu surrendered. At that time, Jia Xu was the prime minister, and he and Taizu conducted seven questions and seven answers at the Tongque Terrace, which was later called the "Tongque Questions and Answers". This is the model of Yan Dynasty for all generations.
He is said to be a famous minister for thousands of years.
In March of the eighth year, Taizu arrived at Luoyang. On the twenty-seventh day, Lu Fan commanded the entire army to defeat Liu Bei's army. Bei was killed in battle, and Xiashou entered Luo. Taizu was buried in Beimang as a commoner. Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Shi Xie all surrendered.
, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang from Jiangxia, and the chariot and cavalry general Jingze sank in the river.
In the Gengyin month of the fifth month, Taizu received Han Zen in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. The book says: "I have been in power for ten years and have been overthrown by the world. Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of my ancestors and loyal ministers, I have survived the crisis. However, I look up at the astronomical sky and observe it.
In the hearts of the people, the number of Yanjing has come to an end, and the fortune depends on the Gongsun family. Therefore, Yan Gong has established great achievements in martial arts, and also has bright virtues to respond to his expectations. The number is clear, and it can be known from faith. If you travel on the great road, the world will be the commonwealth.
, select the virtuous and capable, so Yao of the Tang Dynasty did not favor his sons, but his reputation spread to infinity. I envy and admire him, now he follows Yao's canon, and his Zen is in Yan Gong."
Taizu was ordered to fulfill the throne of the emperor and establish the Yuan Dynasty. He warned the officials and said: "Yan Ji has just begun, and I am really comforted. I have ascended to the great treasure, and the honor and favor are the highest. What more can I do with the body of a husband? I thank you all, and shed your blood."
We have followed each other for ten years, and we have been fighting to the death. Hundreds of officials have contributed, and all the surnames are virtuous. The emperor examined the emperor's concubine, and helped the whole family. The two divisions were generous and gave virtue and strength. My brother and my younger brother will never leave. I am the enemy.
My friends, we work hard together. The destiny of man is fulfilled, and man is determined to conquer nature. Three generations of unification have conquered the later generations. The Qin and Han territories are uncontested and strong. Heroes work hard, and heroes raise their arms. China is built, and the country is sustainable. The heroic spirit returns, and the soul is here.

In the second century after Taizu ascended the throne as emperor, he became Emperor Taizong Ren and became the Supreme Emperor. He enjoyed playing with cats every day. He stayed there for ten years and was buried in the Tailing Mausoleum. His temple name was Taizu, and his posthumous title was "Wu".
Zan said: Huan Ling is unruly and has ruined the world. The Han Dynasty lost its deer and was driven away from all over the world. Taizu lost his parents when he was young and started as a county official. He was a warrior in a border county.
If it weren't for his own hands, he would have succeeded in becoming an emperor. Why? It may be said that Taizu was good at military strategy and diligent in military affairs, so he was invincible. However, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian were elite soldiers. They were not incapable of fighting. They died of women and children without any
Taizu's benevolence cannot be extended to his whole family. Or it can be said that Taizu took charge of heroes and was thirsty for talents, so he was able to achieve success. However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both lenient and benevolent to their subordinates, and were praised by the world. Their success in getting scholars was different from that of Taizu. Xun Yu
, Lu Su is not weaker than Lu Fan, Shen Peiye; Cao Ren, Zhou Yu, are comparable to Han Dang and Cheng Puye. Zhang Fei's bravery is like Guan Yu; Dun Yuan's loyalty and diligence seem to be Yue Fan. However, they can resist
Taizu was defeated again and again. As for the third one, the heroes were tied up and the heroes died. This is really sad! As for Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc., they were even less able to do anything. Alas, the world knows Taizu's wisdom and courage, and
I am not familiar with his benevolence. The benevolence of Taizu was not to please the family, but to serve the poor families, just like the imperial examination; it was not to serve as a group of officials, to benefit the people, like to equalize the land. However, the temples are so high and far away, and the system is so deep, they cannot be soaked in for hundreds of years.
We can't understand it clearly. We succeeded in governing, made rituals and music, promoted culture and education, and spread science. We passed it down to our descendants, and there are rules for the world. Is it a coincidence that Yan Zuo's long-term achievements are twice as long as those of the Han Dynasty?
