Reincarnation in multiple worlds and a life span of five hundred years have made Liu Xiu mature, steady, wise and conservative in character.
During the Three Kingdoms War, each battle seemed risky, but in fact it was all about using strong troops to defeat weak troops, or more people to defeat fewer people. We never made strategic advances just to show off;
During the Three Prisons Rebellion, the main force in countering the rebellion was Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong. Liu Xiu was just pretending. Let the young people do the pretense. He is an old man and needs to show off.
In the world of Qin's mission, he was the most failed Qin Shihuang. He compromised with Chu's foreign relatives and Lu Buwei. He only repaired the Great Wall and advanced fortresses. He did not build Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, Afang Palace, Chidao, or prefectures.
The county system is to the end, the revolution is to the end, it is just the county system, taking the middle road.
Compared with the passionate and domineering Qin Shihuang, he was undoubtedly the weakest and most failed Qin Shihuang. But so what, pretense cannot be eaten, passion cannot be eaten, and domineering cannot be eaten. After all, it depends on food.
Eating and governing the country rely on compromise and balance.
If you can't show off, don't show off!
Only children show off, old people never show off.
As for the eternal emperor, the peerless king, the great talents and great strategies, the wise and mighty warriors, the title of wolf and Xu, etc., whoever wants them wants them, but he doesn't want them.
"It turns out that I am already over five hundred years old and an old man...I am no longer too lazy to act cool!"
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly.
Vaguely, I have already thought about the ending of my eldest brother. Character determines fate. What kind of character determines what kind of fate.
…………
After the Battle of Kunyang, from an overall perspective, the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and all the main forces fled to the cave and disappeared. However, from a local perspective, a certain military strength was still maintained in various places, and it was still relatively strong.
Liu Xiu returned to the front line, and after reorganizing his troops and horses, he continued to expand his forces northward, trying to open a channel to attack Luoyang.
There is Fucheng County more than a hundred miles northwest of Kunyang, which is the only way to Luoyang. Liu Xiu decided to capture it.
But unexpectedly, Liu Xiu encountered strong resistance from the defender Miao Meng, the magistrate of Fucheng County, and could not attack for a long time. Liu Xiu sent someone to inquire and found out that Miao Meng himself was not good at military affairs and was specifically responsible for commanding the defenders.
The man in the city was a bailiff named Feng Yi.
Feng Yi, courtesy name Gongsun, was a native of Fucheng County. He worked as an official in Yingchuan County. His duty was to guard the five counties including Fucheng, Xiangcheng, and Jiaxian in the south of Yingchuan. Since the Chungling Uprising Army captured Nanyang,
, especially after the Battle of Kunyang, the entire county of Yingchuan was shocked. Feng Yi saw that the situation was critical, so he joined forces with his father, the mayor of the city, Miao Meng, to defend the city and resist the Han army's attack with all their strength.
Liu Xiu attacked several times in succession, but still failed.
That’s it!
Retreat your troops and attack other cities!
Liu Xiu is not stubborn. If he can fight, he will fight. If he can't fight, he will leave.
…………
"The Green Forest Army has retreated!"
Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked out of the city gate and began to inspect nearby states and counties.
Wherever the division is, there are thorns and thorns. After a large army, there will be bad years.
Walking in the nearby villages, Feng Yi was surprised to find that this green forest army was somewhat special. Wherever they passed, business was fair and the people were stable and unmolested.
While patrolling to Jingche Township, I suddenly encountered a green forest army and was caught off guard.
The Green Forest Army was caught off guard, and Feng Yi was captured alive.
The army withdrew and Liu Xiu was planning the next plan. Suddenly the tent opened and Ma Wu walked in and said: "General, I'm lucky this time. I went out on patrol and happened to catch Feng Yi!!"
With that said, Feng Yi was tied up and brought to the camp.
Liu Xiu asked and Ma Wu answered.
Ma Wu was just patrolling as usual, but he met Feng Yi and caught him. He was very lucky.
Liu Xidao: "General Feng, you are so unlucky!"
"I was caught by the general because I was unlucky. I am willing to admit defeat. If the general wants to kill me, I will kill him. As for surrender, it is impossible. I will not serve two masters if I am loyal, and a good girl will not marry two husbands!" Feng Yi said, closing his eyes.
Close your eyes and wait for death.
Liu Xiu remained silent and said nothing.
Those who resist will die, and die-hard elements will always be shot without mercy.
With a wave of his hand, Feng Yi was imprisoned.
Advisor Feng Xiaodao said: "General, Feng Yi is my cousin. He has great talent. If he can submit, he will be of great use!"
Ding Wei also said: "Feng Yi is both civil and military, outstanding in talent and learning, and is a talent of Wei Qing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can defeat the Xiongnu if he gets Wei Qing; if the general gets Feng Yi, he will be able to control all sides!"
Lu Yan said: "Feng Yi is so talented, it would be a pity to kill him!"
Feng Xiao is Feng Yi's cousin. Ding Wei and Lu Yan are not only members of the same county and township party with Feng Yi, but also have been friends for many years. The three claimed that Feng Yi is a genius in the world and cannot be killed! If he can surrender, he will be killed.
People will be of great use in the future!
Liu Xiu said: "A good girl will not marry another husband. It is too difficult for a widowed woman, a loyal woman, to cheat on her and elope!"
Feng Xiaodao said: "Zhuo Wenjun is a widowed man with noble character and unmoved by external things, but he was still fascinated by Sima Xiangru and did not hesitate to elope. Even though they were separated from each other, they still loved each other! How can a general be more talented than Sima Xiangru?
Difference!"
Liu Xiudao: "You can go and persuade Feng Yi!"
The three of them were immediately overjoyed and bowed to express their thanks.
The three people left and went to persuade Feng Yi. However, half a day later, the three people appeared again, but their faces were gloomy and there was no trace of joy.
Feng Xiaodao: "Feng Yi has a stubborn character. He says that the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king."
Nodding, he went to the prison and summoned Feng Yi in person.
When he arrived in prison, Liu Xiu saw Feng Yi and talked about the reason for raising the army and why he raised the army. He spoke gracefully and touchingly, and asked: "Feng Yi, are you willing to surrender?"
Feng Yi listened but didn't take it seriously. It's hard for a smart person to be fooled.
Feng Yi said: "General Liu is inspired by his righteousness, how dare Feng Yi disobey his orders! It's just that he has an old mother at home who needs someone to serve him. Now you use Feng Yi, just a common man. If the general lets me go back, I am willing to persuade him
County magistrate, please surrender five cities!"
Liu Xiudao: "Okay! If the general wants to leave, then leave!"
With that said, he personally untied the rope for him.
Feng Yidao: "The general is not afraid that I will go back on my word and never come back. If I sit in my father's city and other places, it will be difficult for the general to defeat me!"
"Give others a chance, and give yourself a chance! Generals are filial people and will not do unjust things!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "It is said that when Wang Jian defeated Zhao, he encountered Li Mu and they fought for a year, but he could not defeat the enemy.
.Wang Jian used counterintuitive tactics, King Zhao fell into the trap, Li Mu was killed, and the Kingdom of Zhao was destroyed!"
"Even if there is no counter-intentional plan, the Zhao State will undoubtedly be destroyed. One year of confrontation cannot defeat the enemy; then three years of confrontation, Li Mu will die. In the face of the general trend, how can Li Mu resist!"
"By taking advantage of the general trend, even pigs can fly, a prodigal can become an emperor through the ages, a gangster can become a wise king, the rich second generation can become a wise man, a beggar can become an emperor... But if you go against the trend, even if you have
Talented people are just cannon fodder!"
Feng Yi was silent. After returning, he did not break his promise. He persuaded Miao Meng, the county magistrate of Fucheng, saying: "Most of the generals of the Green Forest Army are gangsters. They only know how to plunder and harm the people. Only General Liu's troops have never looted." , never disturb the people. Observe his words and listen to his actions. He is definitely not a mediocre person and is worthy of trust!"
Miao Meng nodded.
The next day, the two men led their troops to surrender, and Liu Yan easily captured five places including Fucheng, Xiangcheng, Jiaxian, Cheng'an, and Linying.
Immediately afterwards, he led his troops to capture Yingyang, and his reputation was great!
On this day, just as he was about to continue marching northward, a shocking news came from the rear: the great Situ Liu Yan was convicted and killed!
