Chapter five hundred and eighty third quickly calm the chaos
At the critical moment, the person who pulled Geng Chun away was Liu Long. Liu Long was holding the sword, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword. He walked towards Liu Yang and said: "Your Majesty has an order, anyone who dares to plot rebellion will be punished.
Kill without mercy!"
Liu Yang came back to his senses, roared angrily, rushed towards Liu Long with his sword, swung his sword, and slashed fiercely at Liu Long's head. Liu Long just waved his sword outward casually, and heard a clang, Liu Yang
I felt my palms go numb, and the sword in my hand flew away.
Liu Long followed up with a side kick, which hit Liu Yang's chest firmly, sending Liu Yang flying backwards a meter away. He landed on the ground with a thud, and rolled back some distance before he could
Consider stopping.
Liu Yang lay on the ground, struggling and trying to get up, but a mouthful of blood spurted out first.
Liu Long walked up to him, raised his sword high, pointed it at Liu Yang's neck, and was about to chop it down. At this time, Geng Chun's voice came from behind him: "General Liu, wait a moment!"
At this time, Geng Chun had already rubbed the sand out of his eyes. His eyes were red, and even the surrounding areas of his eyes were red. Liu Yang thought he was dead this time, but suddenly saw Geng Chun stopping Liu Long.
Suddenly a glimmer of hope arose and he said urgently: "Boshan, for the sake of our long-standing friendship and for the sake of my aunt, you have to save me..."
Geng Chun walked up to Liu Yang, stood still, and said, "Just now, General Liu said something very right!"
"Ah? What...what are you talking about?" Liu Yang looked at Geng Chun in surprise.
"Anyone who dares to betray the emperor will be killed without mercy!" As he spoke, he waved his sword.
The edge of the sword drew a half-moon-shaped cold light in the air, which flashed past Liu Yang's neck. Liu Yang's face was still filled with horror, but the head on his neck had already fallen off his shoulders.
The reason why Geng Chun stopped Liu Long was not because he wanted to save Liu Yang, but because Liu Yang had to be solved by him personally. This was also a way for him to show his loyalty to the emperor. After all, he and Liu Yang were related. If Liu Yang secretly rebelled, Geng Chun would inevitably fall.
It is true that if he personally solved Liu Yang, others would stop making irresponsible remarks.
Looking down at Liu Yang's body with his head missing, Geng Chun was silent for a moment, then turned to Liu Long and smiled bitterly: "General Liu won't blame me for taking credit, right?"
Regarding Liu Yang's rebellion, Geng Chun was in an awkward situation. Liu Long could understand it. He also understood why Geng Chun wanted to kill Liu Yang himself. He smiled lightly, held his sword upside down, raised his hand and said: "Whatever Marquis Gao Yang said, as long as the rebellious ministers
When a thief is executed, it doesn’t matter whose hand he dies!”
Hearing this, Geng Chun was moved and bowed deeply to Liu Long.
In the room, Liu Rang did not run away, but was beheaded by Deputy Chen and others. Who would have thought that the three brothers Liu Yang, Liu Rang, and Liu Xi would be served in a pot at the door of their home.
After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Yang officially became King Zhending. With his contribution to Liu Xiu and his relationship with Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong, as long as he fulfills his duties and does not replace him from generation to generation, his descendants can always be in the throne.
He was really determined to be the local emperor here. But he didn't know which nerve in Liu Yang's brain was miswired, and he actually thought of replacing Liu Xiu and proclaiming himself emperor.
If you act secretly and don't let others know, then that's it. Liu Yang is better, he wrote, directed and acted in a drama about the sacred stone, and also made up a prophecy that "after Chijiu, Yin Yang will be the main one".
Throughout the ages, there have been very few people who dared to rebel as blatantly as Liu Yang.
The deaths of the three brothers Liu Yang, Liu Rang, and Liu Xi can be said to be stupid deaths, and they are solely to blame.
They thought that there were 10,000 soldiers and horses of their own outside the station, which would be enough to deter Geng Chun, Liu Long, and Deputy Chen. However, they overestimated their 10,000 soldiers and underestimated the courage of Geng Chun, Liu Long, and Deputy Chen.
Already.
When they opened the door of the inn and walked out carrying the heads of the three brothers Liu Yang, Liu Rang, and Liu Xi, the 10,000 Zhending troops outside were stunned and frightened.
Geng Chun thrust the sword in his hand into the ground, raised Liu Yang's head high, and shouted loudly: "Liu Yang received God's grace in vain and premeditated rebellion. Now we are ordered by the emperor to execute him on the spot.
As a warning to others! If you continue to be loyal to the rebels and insist on betraying the emperor, you will end up like this! If you can find your way back from your mistakes and be loyal to the emperor, you can forget the past!"
His words made the officers and soldiers of the Zhending Army break out in cold sweat. A general of the Zhending Army dismounted his horse, knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "The last general does not know the king... Liu Yang has conspired to rebel, and the last general will
The emperor has no two minds!"
Liu Yang is the backbone of the Zhending Army. If he rebels, the officers and soldiers of the Zhending Army will follow him without saying a word. But now that Liu Yang is dead, who else will they follow to rebel?
A general opened the door, and the rest of the soldiers present knelt down and said in unison: "We have no objection to the emperor, and we ask Marquis Gaoyang to see clearly!"
Geng Chun, Liu Long, Deputy Chen and others did not waste much words. They held Liu Yang's head and easily subdued the 10,000 Zhending army outside the station.
Next, Geng Chun took this ten thousand Zhending army back to Zhending City and eradicated Liu Yang's gang members with lightning speed.
Even though Liu Yang is the real king, Liu Xiu really didn't put in much effort to quell Liu Yang's rebellion. After Geng Chun and others successfully killed the three core figures Liu Yang, Liu Rang, and Liu Xi, Zhen Ding
Without a leader, Liu Yang's henchmen ran away, died, and were caught. Liu Yang's group fell apart almost overnight and was wiped out.
None of Liu Yang's family members escaped, and they were all captured by Geng Chun and others. After stabilizing the situation in Zhending City, Geng Chun asked Liu Long to return to the capital and report the situation in Zhending truthfully to Liu Xiu.
It stands to reason that treason is a serious crime, and those who commit this crime will definitely be executed. However, in handling Liu Yang's rebellion case, Liu Xiu showed a gentle, kind, and magnanimous side. wavv
He gave Liu Yang a generous burial, and not only did he not kill any of Liu Yang's family members, but he also canonized Liu Yang's son Liu De, allowing Liu De to inherit the throne of King Zhending and continue to be king of Zhending.
Liu Xiu's approach greatly won the favor of Liu's clan members, scholar-bureaucrats and the common people.
No one hopes that the world will have a violent emperor who is cruel and easy to kill. Everyone hopes that the world will have a magnanimous and benevolent emperor. And Liu Xiu just fulfilled people's expectations.
In addition, he did another thing that pushed his reputation up a lot again. After Liu Yang was killed for treason, Liu Xiu not only did not offend Guo Shengtong, but instead made Guo Shengtong the queen and Liu Qiang the prince.
In making Guo Shengtong his queen, Liu Xiu was completely following the trend. He originally planned to make Yin Lihua his queen, but Yin Lihua refused to accept it. Liu Xiu had no other choice, so he had no choice but to make Guo Shengtong his queen.
If Liu Yang hadn't happened, he would have made Guo Shengtong his queen, which would not have greatly improved his reputation. But coincidentally, Liu Yang rebelled at this juncture. Invisibly, Liu Yang served as a stepping stone for Liu Xiu.
.
How generous the emperor must be to make the traitor's niece a queen? Both the scholar-bureaucrats and the common people were full of praise for Liu Xiu's actions and virtues.
In fact, people all over the world have misunderstood Liu Xiu. If Liu Yang did not rebel and Liu Yang was not dead, Liu Xiu would really need to think twice about making Guo Shengtong his queen.
Liu Xiu was a student of Imperial College, and he was also a minister. He kept the lessons learned in history in mind.
How did the previous dynasty fall? It was at the hands of his relatives. The relatives had too much power, which led to Wang Mang's successful usurpation of the throne.
Behind Guo Shengtong was King Zhending, who established Guo Shengtong as his queen. Liu Yang was both the king and half-captain. He had too much power and might repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
Yin Lihua is different. Although she comes from the Yin family, the Yin family can only be regarded as a famous family and does not have much strength. After Yin Lihua is established, her relatives will never have monopoly.
Liu Xiu repeatedly wanted to appoint Yin Lihua as his queen. First, he was really obsessed with Yin Lihua and had deep feelings. Second, it was also a very important consideration for him to prevent his relatives from taking over the throne.
The butt determines the head. After sitting on the throne and becoming the supreme emperor, many times, one cannot just act emotionally and needs to consider all aspects of the issue.
It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but the starting point for considering things is different. The emperor cannot consider problems based on his own preferences, but must consider problems from the perspective of the world.
Once he takes the whole world as his position, the emperor often appears to be ruthless, even unreasonable.
Liu Xiu had just proclaimed himself emperor and was a self-made founding emperor. In the profession of emperor, which requires extremely high professionalism, he could only be regarded as an intern with no experience.
He himself was also groping while doing it, how to be a good emperor who could not only rule the world but also win the love of the people.
Liu Yang's rebellion did not involve too many people. As Liu Yang's son Liu De succeeded to the throne, the situation in Zhending quickly stabilized.
However, the troubles that troubled Liu Xiu did not end there, they were still waiting for him one after another!
On the orders of Liu Xiu, Wu Han led Wang Liang, the commander-in-chief, and Wu Jiafu, the commander-in-chief. He advised the general Zhu, the general Du Mao, the Yanghua general Jiantan, the partial general Wang Ba, the cavalry commander Ma Wu, Liu Long, and Yinshi.
, a total of nine generals, commanding more than 100,000 troops, sent troops to Wei County and Qinghe County, hoping to wipe out the five military schools and the Tanxiang Army entrenched in the two counties in one fell swoop, and completely eradicate these two henchmen.
As the Grand Sima, Wu Han was naturally the commander-in-chief of the entire army and had command authority over the entire army.
However, Wu Han and Wang Liang had differences on how to destroy the traitor army.
According to Wu Han's wishes, our side will advance into Qinghe County first. If the rebel army in Qinghe County fights to the death with our side, we can take advantage of the situation and annihilate them. If the rebel army is unwilling to fight with our side, they will inevitably flee to Wei County.
At that time, we can fight a decisive battle with the traitor army in Wei County. Now the prefect of Wei County is in the Qiu period. With the Qiu period in our army to help us, we can annihilate the traitor army and get twice the result with half the effort.
However, Wang Liang felt that Wu Han's strategy was too risky.
Instead of quelling the traitor army in Wei County, we skipped Wei County and went directly to Qinghe County to exterminate the traitors. This would be too risky a move.
We must know that the rebel army is probably connected with Liu Yong. If we venture into Qinghe County, once Liu Yong's army attacks from the direction of Yanzhou and responds to the rebel army, we will face the danger of being attacked from both sides by the enemy.
Wang Liang's idea was that his side should attack steadily and attack the Weijun rebels first, and then advance step by step towards Qinghe County.
Wu Han could not agree with Wang Liang's strategy. It was precisely because the rebel army was likely to have contact with Liu Yong that he had to attack Qinghe County first and completely cut off the connection between the rebel army and Liu Yong. If he followed Wang Liang's strategy, in the end,
It is very likely that they will force all the rebels to Yanzhou. If they cannot be eradicated, they will come back sooner or later and they will still be a scourge.
On the matter of how to destroy the thieves, Grand Sima Wu Han and Grand Sikong Wang Liang had serious differences. One advocated taking steps step by step and fighting steadily, while the other advocated taking dangerous steps and annihilating the enemy by leaping. Neither of them could convince the other and started arguing.
No less.
In the end, Wu Han was also annoyed and decided: "I am the Great Sima and the commander-in-chief of the entire army. This battle will be fought according to my plan!"
Wang Liang was extremely unhappy when he saw Wu Han using the title of Grand Sima to suppress him. He said: "If Wu Gong insists on attacking Qinghe first, then you and I will fight separately. You will attack Qinghe, and I will attack Wei County."
!”
Wu Han was almost furious, who would divide the troops with you? I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and all officers and men of the army should obey my command. If I give you part of the troops, what can I use to fight against the rebels?
