Chapter 586: Great Seal Hero

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Jia Fu is not in Luoyang now, and the position of Jinwu is temporarily vacant, so Liu Xiu asked Wang Liang to temporarily come and do the part-time job.

Zhi Jinwu is directly in control of the security of the capital, Liu Xiu let Wang Liang hold such an important position, can it be said that Liu Xiu does not trust Wang Liang?

Liu Xiu is indeed very tolerant of these heroes who helped him build the country, even if they make unforgivable mistakes, Liu Xiu can tolerate them again and again.

The Wu Han army fought smoothly in Qinghe County, and won successive battles, defeating the Fifth School Army and the Danxiang Army again and again, forcing the two rebel armies to abandon the foundation laid in Qinghe County and were forced to retreat in the direction of Wei County.

The Fifth School Army and the Danxiang Army went straight to Yecheng, the county capital of Wei County, in an attempt to capture Yecheng, and then use Yecheng's strong city defense to resist the attack of the Wu and Han armies.

At present, it is the Wei County Taishou Cho period that guards Yecheng.

When Cho first arrived in Yecheng, it could be described as internal and external troubles. The minds of the people of the county government have changed, and all over the county, thieves have risen in all directions, and even near Yecheng, there are thieves who occupy the mountain as the king, openly oppose the government, and rob pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

After learning about the situation here in Wei County, Choshi made a quick decision to attack the thieves near Yecheng first, so as to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and kill the chickens and monkeys.

Around Yecheng, there is not only one thief, but several thieves, they are not rebels, but under the banner of the rebel army, blocking the road and robbing, killing people and stealing goods, posing a great threat to the people in and out of Yecheng.

One of the most rampant thieves is Zhuo Jing.

Zhuo Jing was originally a subordinate of Chen Kang, but after Chen Kang took refuge in Liu Xiu, Zhuo Jing resigned and became the king of the mountain near Yecheng.

At the beginning, he was just a small fight, and there were not many brothers under him, but after the Five School Army and the Danxiang Army wandered to Wei County, Zhuo Jing's courage gradually grew, recruiting people everywhere, and constantly robbing the caravans and people in the past.

Up to now, Zhuo Jing's subordinates have hundreds of people, and since he used to be an official of the Wei County Government, even now, there are many of his old colleagues in the County Government.

Zhuo Jing secretly contacted these old colleagues and encouraged them to join forces with him to join forces inside and outside to conquer Yecheng together.

For Zhuo Jing, Choshi was not polite at all, and led the army to attack directly. Choshi went to Yecheng to take office, and he didn't bring many subordinates, only 200 people.

However, the two hundred Han troops led by Choshi himself were defeated by the Zhuo Jing forces of hundreds of people.

Zhuo Jing was wounded and fled, and his subordinates killed more than 100 people in the battle, captured more than 100 people, and even Zhuo Jing's wife and children did not run away, and were captured alive by the Han army.

As soon as Choshi arrived in Wei County, he destroyed Zhuo Jing's forces, which can be said to have given those who were ready to move a big dismount.

After defeating Zhuo Jing, Choshi's prestige in the county army increased greatly, and then, Choshi led the county army, first pacifying the thieves around Yecheng, and then leading the troops to attack the thief army in Fanyang and Neihuang.

After a battle, the precarious situation in Wei County finally stabilized somewhat.

After solving the external crisis, Choshi then proceeded to deal with the crisis within the county government.

During Chen Kang's tenure as the Taishou of Wei County, he did not rebel against Liu Xiu, but he didn't care about it, and ignored it regardless of the deterioration of the situation in Wei County.

Now Choshi has taken over as the Taishou of Wei County, and what he has inherited is a big mess, and there are many officials in the county government who have fornicated with the thieves.

Choshi did not have time to discern who was loyal and who was a traitor among the county officials.

In the government of a county, there are so many officials, if you want to investigate them one by one, you have to investigate them for at least a year or two. It is also impossible to replace all the officials in the county government, and in that case, Wei County will only become more chaotic.

The method he adopted was to grasp the typical. Choshi chose the Governor of the county government.

The full name of the Governor of the Door is called the Governor of the Door, referred to as the Governor of the Door, or the Governor of the Thief. This official position is also extended in the later dynasties, and if the supply level is measured, it is a seven-grade official.

The name of the subordinate governor of Wei County is Li Xiong, the Li family is a powerful family in Yecheng, and Li Xiong is also the master who is dangling sideways in Yecheng, and no one dares to provoke him.

Li Xiong and his brother Li Lu have an excellent relationship with the Danxiang Army and have close contacts, and the two brothers got together to conspire together if they had nothing to do, how to welcome the Tanxiang Army into the city.

But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, and the conspiracy between the two brothers Li Xiong and Li Lu and the Danxiang Army was soon stabbed to the Choshi period.

When Choshi learned of this, he remained silent, and a few days later, during a county council, Choshi unexpectedly captured Li Xiong. Choshi asked Li Xiong on the spot if he had any fornication with the thief army.

Li Xiong is a very bachelor, and he admitted on the spot that he did have an affair with the Danxiang army, if Lord Taishou wants to kill me, kill me now, if you don't resolve your hatred, you can kill my Li family.

was captured by himself, Li Xiong can still be so horizontal, this person is really interesting. Choshi did not immediately move Li Xiong after receiving the report, but secretly investigated Li Xiong's family history.

Li Xiong's father has passed away, and there is only one old mother and a younger brother Li Lu in the family, but Li Lu is not in Yecheng now. Don't look at the Li family, there are not many people, but in Yecheng, and even in the entire Wei County, the Li family has a wide range of contacts and close contacts with many famous families

Mess.

Choshi looked at the arrogant Li Xiong and said meaningfully: "If you think that it is better to be a thief than an errand, then I can fulfill you now!" ”

After saying this, Choshi ordered his subordinates to take Li Xiong, along with his mother, out of Yecheng. Li Xiong thought that he was going to die this time, and even the entire Li family was in danger, but he didn't expect that Choshi not only didn't kill himself, but also let himself and his mother go. After Li Xiong and his mother were taken out of Yecheng, they went to join Li Lu. meet

After that, Li Xiong told Li Lu the truth of the matter.

After Li Lu heard this, he was also very moved, and then, Li Lu followed Li Xiong and his mother, returned to Yecheng, and outside the west gate of Yecheng, he pleaded guilty to Choshi.

Before Choshi left the city, Li Lu had already committed suicide outside the city gate. When he left the city and saw Li Lu's corpse, he couldn't help but sigh again and again.

He ordered that Li Lu be buried with courtesy, that Li Xiong's affair with the thief army would not be investigated, and that Li Xiong be reinstated. The practice of Cho period not only won the favor and respect of the people of Yecheng and even the famous families, but also made the officials of the county government feel a lot. Choshi period to lightning after the ear

, quickly calmed down the internal and external troubles of the Wei County Government, and greatly stabilized the situation in Yecheng and even the entire Wei County.

The Fifth School Army and the Danxiang Army were chased and killed by Wu Han all the way and fled to Yecheng. When the thieves tried to capture Yecheng, they suddenly found that the county officials who had fornicated with them in the past were now the ones who desperately resisted their entry into the city.

These two thief armies were attacked head-on by the county army led by Choshi, attacked the city several times, and were repulsed several times, and the losses were huge. In desperation, the Fifth School Army and the Danxiang Army could only choose to retreat and retreat to the Zhangshui area east of Yecheng.

As soon as they retreated to Zhangshui, the main force of the Han army, led by Wu Han, also arrived. The two sides fought a decisive battle on the shore of Zhangshui.

In this battle, the Wu Han army united with the Wei County Army in the Cho period to launch a flanking attack on the thief army. The two sides fought from day to night, and finally the thief army was defeated by the Han army, and almost all the army was wiped out.

The number of war dead and drowned of the thief army is innumerable, and the number of captured thief soldiers alone is more than 100,000 people.

After this battle, whether it was the Fifth School Army or the Danxiang Army, they were all greatly injured. The few remaining remnants fled north.

At this point, the troubles of the thief army in Wei County and Qinghe County came to an end, and Wu Han led the army, returned triumphantly, and returned to the dynasty.

Soon after Wu Han led his army back to Beijing, Liu Xiu began a second large-scale feudal campaign. Liu Xiu wrote very clearly in the edict, "After people's desires are satisfied, what they are most afraid of is greedy for pleasure, only caring about the pleasure of the moment, and forgetting the laws and regulations of the country." The generals have great achievements and want to pass on fame and fortune from generation to generation, so they should walk on thin ice

Conscientious. ”

At the back of the edict, Liu Xiu also added a sentence very considerately: "Those who have made significant achievements, but have not been rewarded, not famous, and have not been crowned officials, need to report to Dahonglu in time, and Dahonglu will report to me, and I will hire and reward them separately." ”

Liu Xiu rewarded meritorious heroes on a large scale, but those who had significant merits were basically crowned marquis, which made many scholars and doctors dissatisfied, and they also looked red. A doctor directly admonished Liu Xiujin: "The emperors of ancient times, the feudal princes, the fief is less than a hundred miles. The court is strong, the place is weak, this is the correct way to govern the country, and now, the princes are as large as four counties, it is no longer legal, and I hope that Your Majesty is three

Think! ”

The four counties he said naturally referred to Deng Yu. Deng Yu's fief, with four counties, is the largest fief among Liu Xiu's heroes.

After listening to the doctor's advice, Liu Xiu laughed and said disapprerovitically: "In ancient times, the people who died were all because the monarch was mediocre, and I have never heard of those who perished because the fiefdom of the meritorious heroes was too large. ”

At that time, the doctor was an official name, in charge of books and dictionaries, and was well versed in historiography. In layman's terms, the doctoral class is a group of old scholars.

Liu Xiu did not take the doctor's advice and continued to make the heroes marquis. He sent a messenger to send the seal of the prince to the recipient, but every recipient of the title heard Liu Xiu's edict conveyed by the recipient. "Those who are in a high position and can do it without arrogance or rashness, even if their status is high, they will not fall; Those who are illustrious, but who are cautious and law-abiding, will not overflow even if their family background is prominent. May you be cautious and take the title

Pass it on to your children and grandchildren, and you will always be a vassal of the Han family! ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, all those who were awarded the title were grateful, kneeling and bowing to thank him.

Liu Xiu and his ancestor Liu Bang are completely two extremes.

After Liu Bang became emperor, he was afraid of the heroes, and always suspected that someone wanted to rebel against him, and he was also wary of the heroes.

And Liu Xiu is the opposite, it seems that he has no concerns about this at all, and he doesn't think about whether someone will make his own counter, as long as I use you, I will trust you, as long as you have merit, I must reward you.

This is the obvious difference between Liu Xiu and Liu Bang's style of life and work. The relationship between Liu Bang and the founding heroes is gradually estranged, while the relationship between Liu Xiu and the founding heroes is consistent and intimate. In terms of self-confidence and emotional intelligence, Liu Xiu is indeed much higher than Liu Bang. He is not afraid of anyone making his own rebellion, even if you create my rebellion, I have the ability to destroy you! This is Liu Xiu's self-confidence.
