Chapter 53 Liu Xiu: I heard someone imitated me?

Zhongshan, Hebei Province,

In the courtyard, a group of people were sitting in the main room.

Liu Xiu and others were wearing armor and had sad expressions on their faces.

"This is the true King of Ding! After all, he is the seventh generation grandson of Emperor Jing! If you don't help your own people, why are you helping outsiders to beat your own people!"

The bearded Wang Ba held his helmet with red tassels on it and complained angrily.

"This has nothing to do with King Zhending. It's Liu Jie and Wang Lang who confused King Zhending."

Liu Xiu stopped Wang Ba's complaint.

After letting out a long sigh, he continued to wipe the sword in his hand and said in a low voice:

"Right now, I'm worried about Bo Xian. If Wang Lang's envoy is also in Zhending, I wonder if Bo Xian can return safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rough voice shouting:
  "Bo Xian is back! Bo Xian is back!"

Later, Yao Qi and Liu Zhi walked into the hall together with excited faces.

"Boss! Just be fine if you have nothing to do!"

"Boss! What did that old man, King Zhending, say?"

"Mr. Bo...it's only been less than a day. Has the lobbying failed?"

Seeing Liu Zhi coming back, everyone talked in a hurry.

Faced with everyone's inquiries, Liu Zhi first saluted Liu Xiu, who was concerned about his own safety.

After looking around at everyone, he said to Liu Xiu:

“It didn’t fail, but it didn’t succeed either.”

The impatient Wang Ba suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer:
  "Bossian! Stop making spiral farts here! Just tell me!"

"Uncle Yuan!"

Liu Xiu glared at Wang Ba, who kept silent.

"Boss, please continue."

Liu Zhi didn't care about Wang Ba's words, looked at Liu Xiu and said:

"King Zhending said that he could abandon Wang Lang and help Duke Ming, but there is one requirement."

"any request?"

Liu Xiu asked quickly.

Liu Zhi's face couldn't help but reveal a strange look.

"He requested...that Duke Ming marry her niece, Guo Shengtong."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the hall.

Through the door and window, Liu Xiu looked at the distant sky.

Then he looked at the brothers in the hall who all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Everyone is disgraced, and the armor on their bodies is full of marks from swords and arrows.

Liu Xiu raised his head and closed his eyes.

I thought of the tragedy of all the generals heading south to die when they were being chased in Jixian County.

I thought of the sweetness of bean porridge and wheat rice when I was hungry.

I thought of the cold beside the Hutuo River.

Thinking of Xindu City's help in times of need.

I got it……

With a long sigh, Liu Xiu opened his eyes fiercely.

"I promise."

……

[In 24 AD, Liu Xiu married Guo Shengtong in Qilishe. The Guo family in Beidi and the Liu family in Nanxiang were married because of the good combination of their two surnames. 】

[After the True Ding King Liu Yang is settled, the Youzhou area can be completely relieved. At least Liu Xiu is not afraid of someone stabbing him in the back when he attacks Handan again.

[With no worries, Liu Xiu began to lead the army to attack Wang Lang]

[Although with the help of some of Liu Yang's troops, Liu Xiu's military strength has also become much larger. 】

[But Wang Lang also had many soldiers, and the two sides began to pull back and forth near Handan. 】

……

A map of the situation in Hebei appeared on the sky screen.

Taking Handan as the horizontal standard line, Liu Xiu is in the north and Wang Lang is in the south.

The positions of both sides changed back and forth near Handan, and there was a stalemate.

suddenly!

A red arrow went straight south from the upper edge of the map to the Handan battlefield like an arrow from a string!
  ……

[Just when Liu Xiu and Wang Lang were fighting in Handan and bleeding like a river, Liu Aotian struck again! 】

[A group of thousands of wolf riders came straight from Liu Xiu's rear to Handan! 】

[The leader is Geng Yan, who lost contact with Liu Xiu and the others in Jixian County! 】

[It turned out that after breaking through Jixian, Geng Yan returned directly to Changping to persuade his father, Geng Kuang, the governor of Shanggu County, to join Liu Xiu. 】

[Then Geng Kuang sent Kou Xun to Yuyang and made an appointment with Peng Chong, the prefect of Yuyang, to send troops to support Liu Xiu. Each of the two counties sent 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry. 】

[Thereupon, Geng Yan and Kou Xun led the Shanggu soldiers to join forces with the Yuyang soldiers led by Wu Han and headed south. 】

[And along the way, more than 400 people including Wang Lang's generals, Jiuqing, and Xiaowei were killed! 】

[One hundred and twenty-five seals and ribbons were seized. 】

[Behead 30,000 Wang Lang’s troops. 】

[Capture the twenty-two counties of Zhuojun, Julu, Qinghe, and Hejian! Then he met Liu Xiu in Guang'a. 】

[Everyone turned to Liu Xiu and bowed their heads again! 】

[In May of 24 AD, Liu Xiu captured Handan. Wang Lang died in the rebellion. 】

……

{I no longer recognize the four words "Natou and then worship". }
  {I'm a little confused, please tell me to slow down...why did his soldiers suddenly increase so much! }

{That's it, that's it! do you understand? not understand? That’s right if you don’t understand! I also do not understand! }
  {Yuyang Shanggu? Damn it! Then isn’t this Youzhou Tuqi? The strongest cavalry of the Han Dynasty! }

{The key troops of Dingding Central Plains! }
  {It’s destiny, this guy is really destiny! }

{Geng Yan, known as Little Han Xin of the Eastern Han Dynasty! }
  {What about the Battle of Nanluan? Just eat? ! }
  {Not only the Battle of Nanluan, but also the Battle of Julu? }

{No way, do you have to make a choice? Moreover, there is actually nothing much to talk about in the Battle of Nanluan and the Battle of Julu. }
  {Actually, before the battle of Nanluan and Julu, there was a battle of Bairen County. Wang Lang sent general Li Yu to garrison in Bairen County, north of Handan. Li Yu directly defeated the vanguard Deng Yu. Liu Xiu saw that Deng Yu was defeated. He went up on his own, and then fought until Li Yu couldn't shrink back! }

{This contact war has only about 60 words recorded in official history. As for the detailed course of the battle, there is no record in the history books. It seemed that after Li Yu easily defeated Deng Yu, Liu Jiuxiu arrived at the battlefield, and then without anything to say, he just pushed over! }
  {Nothing, it’s just a joke. Similar records appeared many times in the early Eastern Han Dynasty! Every time Liu Xiu's subordinates couldn't handle it, Liu Xiu would do it himself! Then...the opponent was wiped out! This is the most terrifying thing about Liu Xiu! }
  {Liu Xiu is actually very good at fighting! His combat command ability was so strong that all the generals of his time were not on the same level as him! That's why these seemingly ink-free situations appear in history books. }
  {So...who can defeat Li Shimin or Liu Xiu? }

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Nangong Quefei Hall

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the admiration of future generations for his martial arts, Liu Xiu laughed heartily!

The ministers below looked at the emperor and laughed, not knowing why.

Although His Majesty has always loved to laugh, there is nothing to be happy about on the sky, right?
  Worship after receiving your head? Isn't that what it should be? This is Your Majesty!

Fighting bravely? Isn't that natural? This is Your Majesty!

Destiny? Need I say this? This is Your Majesty!
  Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?

besides…!
  Who is this Li Shimin? How dare you compare yourself to my Majesty!
  Liu Xiu, who was sitting at the top, laughed happily for a while!
  at last!

Finally someone talked about my military capabilities!
  I've said it before!
  What meteorites and meteors! What a storm!
  That's all a coincidence! Coincidence, do you understand?
  That is not my true strength!
  My true strength is terrifying!

……

Tang Dynasty·Lizheng Hall

Queen Changsun was playing with Kong Mingsuo with Li Mingda.

Then he saw Li Shimin walking in quickly and angrily, picking up the cup on the table and drinking it all in one gulp.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty come to the Tai Chi Hall?"

Queen Changsun looked at the angry Li Shimin and couldn't help but ask.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin was about to vomit his bitterness when he saw Li Mingda playing with toys on the bed and lowered his voice again:
  "Don't mention it! I just said "I am as good as Guangwu" and that country bumpkin caught me and gave me a lesson!"

Li Shimin put the tea cup back on the table with a gloomy look on his face.

"Why is the emperor so humble? He will understand when he listens!"

"I, the Tang Dynasty, have conquered the past and present! All nations have come to court! Isn't this the truth!"

"If I hadn't been humble and respectful, I would have chopped that melon off long ago!"

"Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty recruited heroes, worked hard to govern, and brought prosperity to the world. He was safe all over the world! He has the virtue of ruling the world! He has made great contributions to the peace of the world!"

"How similar to me! What's wrong with the comparison!" Empress Changsun looked weird as she listened to Li Shimin's words.

Li Mingda, who was playing with Kong Mingsuo on the bed, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.

"Father! Why is Emperor Guangwu similar to you? Isn't Emperor Guangwu in front?"

Empress Changsun also blinked her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Li Shimin with interest.

Li Shimin was suddenly speechless.

snort! The only one who can make me bow my head is Emperor Wen!
  It would be great if the rest can be compared with me!
  But it’s not good to say it in front of Xiao Sizi, right?

Not the image of a loving father!
  Li Erfeng cleared his throat, looked at Li Mingda who was waiting for an answer with his big round eyes, and said with a smile:
  "Xiao Sizi is smart! My father didn't notice the flaw in his words, but Xiao Sizi did! Xiao Sizi is awesome!"

Seeing Li Erfeng smiling kindly, Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled so wildly.

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
  Calyx Xianghui Tower,
  Wearing a trembling red peony on her head, Yang Yuhuan threw away the empty wine cup and leaned into Li Longji's arms with blurred eyes.

Pointing at Liu Xiu in the sky, Jiaohan said:

"Sanlang, why is Liu Xiu so powerful? So many people come to him?"

Li Longji, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, held Yang Yuhuan in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

After hearing what Yang Yuhuan said, he said with drunken eyes:
  "Deng Yu once said, 'The public recommends scholars sincerely and reviews the heroes. Everyone in the world is happy to drive, and everyone will return to the virtue of public service.'

'In the first battle at Kunyang, Wang Mang defeated 400,000 men. When the world heard about it, everyone was shocked and the public was convinced. '

'The military and government are in harmony, the young and the elders are polite, reward the good as if it is not enough, and punish the evil as if it is far away, this is the public and civil society. '

Deng Yu’s words have already made it clear. "

"The virtues of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are admired by everyone, his martial arts are admired by everyone, and his martial arts are trusted by everyone."

Yang Yuhuai held his forehead and sat up straight.

"I don't understand. My head hurts."

"Hahahaha! Then you won't listen! They are all dead ancients! It's nothing special!"

Li Longji looked at the sky and laughed.

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
  Zhu Zhanji sat on the dragon chair and asked softly to Zhu Qizhen in his arms:

"Son, do you know why Emperor Guangwu was able to win the hearts of people in Hebei?"

Zhu Qizhen, who was only five years old, said with a milky voice:
  "The child doesn't know."

Zhu Zhanji looked at his lovely son and said with a smile:

"Because Emperor Guangwu's Battle of Kunyang is the key to his ability to win people's hearts."

Zhu Qizhen:?

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's confused look, Zhu Zhanji paused. continued:
  "Before the Battle of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu was indifferent, but after winning the Battle of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu was a true phoenix! He was famous all over the world and was admired by everyone!"

"And the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai have either participated in the Battle of Kunyang or have heard of it."

"This huge prestige and his behavior of appeasing the people when he first entered Hebei are the key to winning the hearts and minds of the people in Hebei!"

"So, son, when you succeed to the throne, you must also have a heart to love the people and a heart to be brave! Do you understand?"

"My child understands!"

Zhu Qizhen replied loudly:
  "Hahaha! Okay! Then my father will ask you!"

Zhu Zhanji asked with a smile.

"If you become emperor in the future, will you be able to bring peace to the world?"

Zhu Qizhen's childish yet loud voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

"can!"

"If someone violates the national law, do you dare to personally lead the Sixth Division to quell it?"

Zhu Qizhen replied boldly:

"dare!"

Hearing Zhu Qizhen’s childish words without thinking,

Zhu Zhanji happily placed Zhu Qizhen on the golden dragon chair, then took off his dragon robe and surrounded Zhu Qizhen.

His Highness's ministers immediately fell to their knees.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

……

[After conquering Handan City, Liu Xiu found a large number of letters in Wang Lang's palace. They were all letters exchanged between Liu Xiu's officials and forces and Wang Lang during the war between the two sides. 】

[If Wang Mang faced this situation, he would chop off these people's heads and dig their mansions into cesspools. Just like the Li Tong family in Wancheng. 】

[But Liu Xiu showed superb political wisdom and used a "tactic" that countless people in later generations imitated]

……

On the canopy,
  In the palace of Prince Zhao of Handan City, everyone gathered here.

Liu Xiu put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky,

The soldiers behind him carried out large boxes one by one and placed them in front of everyone.

"Does anyone know what these are?"

Looking at the boxes, Liu Xiu asked slowly to the people in front of him.

"Ming Gong! Could these be the gold and silver jewelry from Wang Lang's mansion?"

"Good guy, how much does this cost?"

"Da Sima, how embarrassing this is, hahahaha!"

Several generals laughed and laughed, and there was an atmosphere of joy.

Liu Xiu didn't say anything, just waved.

The soldiers behind him opened the box and poured out all the contents.

Suddenly, rolls of bamboo slips and pieces of silk were piled up into a small mountain.

Some of the people gathered looked confused, while others looked terrified.

Liu Xiu picked up a roll of bamboo slips at random and said softly:
  "Everyone, do you know what this is?"

Some people are trembling and need help from others to stand firm.

Others glared at those who were unsteady, just waiting for Liu Xiu's order!
  But Liu Xiu did not order the arrest of those people.

He threw the bamboo scroll in his hand back to the pile of books and ordered people to pour kerosene on it.

Liu Xiu looked at the face in front of him and said loudly:
  "Before, Wang Lang was so powerful that I didn't even know the way forward, let alone you."

"But from today on, I hope everyone can unite as one!"

Liu Xiu took the torch from the soldier behind and threw it on the pile of books.

"boom!"

The flames burst out! Burning!
  "As for these things that are in the past, let them be in the past."

Looking at Liu Xiu's smiling face.

Some fell to their knees and cried.

……

[He burned all these correspondences in a fire to show that he could forget the past. 】

[Hebei is initially determined. 】

……

Da Qin,

"..."

Ying Zheng looked at the fire on the sky and blinked.

This operation...this kid...

The bamboo scroll in his hand creaked.

…How wonderful it would be if this was the descendant of a widower…

many! good! ah!
  ……

Cao Wei,

In a military tent, there was silence.

All the soldiers were speechless, and their eyes could not help but glance at the lord sitting at the top.

Cao Cao, who was wearing a mysterious robe and stroking his beard, pretended not to know.

how? Emperor Guangwu can't burn me?

No matter who has used this trick before, it just works!
  The worst thing is to settle accounts in the future!

 Liu Xiu was like a sheep, and many emperors in later generations plucked his wool.
