Chapter 396: Change of Dynasty
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Cao Xu thanked Liu Xiu for his advice, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left. After Cao Xu left, Zhu You, Feng Yi, and Wang Ba came in from outside.
The conversation between Liu Xiu and Cao Xu just now, they could hear it clearly outside. Zhu You asked dissatisfiedly: "Lord, why do you want to help Liu Xuan get the military power?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "Many times, we can't wait for the opportunity to fall on our heads, we have to take the initiative to create opportunities." Seeing that Zhu You and the others looked at themselves in puzzlement, Liu Xiu said: "If Liu Xuan has no military power, he will never dare to fight against the green forest system, this is the beginning of the imperial court, it will always be a pool of stagnant water, in the stagnant water, we have to find an opportunity, it is too difficult, all we have to do now is to find a way to muddy this pool of stagnant water, only in the muddy water can we fish." If you want this pool of water to become muddy, you must first let Liu Xuan have the capital to confront the green forest system, and this capital is
Military power. ”
Liu Xiu hoped that Liu Xuan and the Green Forest Department would fight, so that it would be convenient for him to wait for the opportunity.
But if Liu Xuan was just a bare-bones commander, even if he borrowed ten of his courage, he wouldn't dare to fight against the Green Forest Department, in order to let Liu Xuan have this courage, now Liu Xiu is sincerely seeking military power for Liu Xuan.
Palace.
As soon as Cao Xu walked to the gate of the palace, he saw an attendant hurriedly greeted him inside, "Cao Shangshu, Your Majesty is looking for you!" Quick, inside please! ”
The eunuch who served inward arched his hand, and Cao Xu secretly admired Liu Xiu in his heart, he was really like a god! In the study room of the palace, Cao Xu saw Liu Xuan, bowed down, and said, "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "Have you heard the news that Liu Sheng has established himself as emperor in Runan?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard about it!"
"At the beginning, Qing reminded me to beware of Liu Sheng, but I didn't take it to heart at the time, and now Liu Sheng is rebelling and still claiming the emperor in Chengyang, which is ...... How can this make me good? ”
Liu Xiu had already helped Cao Xu think of a way to deal with it, and Cao Xu at this time was confident and not nervous at all. He smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic, Liu Sheng is just a clown, don't be afraid!" ”
"Huh?"
"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of troops left behind in Yingchuan, which is enough to deal with Liu Sheng in Runan!"
"Use the Yingchuan Army to fight Liu Sheng?" Liu Xuan muttered, and hurriedly asked, "That'...... Qing thinks, who is the main general of the Dangdang faction? General Wang Chang? ”
Cao Xu shook his head and said, "The minister thinks that it is most appropriate for His Majesty to appoint General Fenwei as the main general. ”
Liu Xuan was surprised: "General Fenwei? Liu Xin? Cao Xu Zhengse said: "Exactly! If Wang Chang is the main general and Liu Shenghou is pacified, the Yingchuan army of tens of thousands is still in the hands of the Green Forest family. If His Majesty orders General Fenwei as the main general, Wang Chang as the deputy general, and pacifies Liu Shenghou, these tens of thousands
Aren't the Yingchuan Army, together with the captured Runan Army, all of His Majesty's? When Liu Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and his face unconsciously showed joy. He pondered for a moment, nodded repeatedly, stroked his palms and laughed, "Good idea! What a great idea! Yes, yes, according to Qing's opinion, in this battle, I should worship Brother Xin as the main general
! ”
Liu Xin is Liu Xuan's cousin, Liu Xuan's affection and trust in Liu Xin are not comparable to those of other Liu clan relatives, let Liu Xin get the military power, isn't it equivalent to letting him get the military power himself?
Liu Sheng's sudden proclamation as emperor in Runan made Liu Xuan panic, and after summoning Cao Xu, Liu Xuan's whole heart was settled, and there was a strong joy on his face.
Liu Xuan already trusted and appreciated Cao Xu very much, and after this change of Liu Sheng's claim to be emperor, he favored Cao Xu even more.
This is another result that Liu Xiu wants.
He needs someone in the court to speak for him, Zhao Meng and Cao Jing are both cunning and cunning, the former is insatiable, the latter is pretentious, and they are not very easy to control, relatively speaking, Cao Xu is much stronger than Zhao Meng and Cao Jing.
In the twenty-third year of A.D., in August, Liu Sheng was proclaimed emperor in Chengyang, Runan, and in the same month, Liu Xuan, the first emperor, appointed Liu Xin, a general of Fenwei, to command 50,000 Yingchuan troops, and went south into Runan to attack Liu Shengbu.
In September, another even more earth-shattering news reached Wancheng, and Shen Tujian and Li Song led their troops to capture Chang'an and kill Wang Mang in Jitai.
This news makes it hard for many people to believe that Chang'an was captured, Wang Mang died, and the Xinmang court died? Is the Great New Dynasty really dying so soon?
The news that reached Wancheng was correct, the new dynasty was indeed dead.
Chang'an was captured so quickly, for many people, it was something they never dreamed of, but for Liu Xiu, it had long been expected by him.
Before Shen Tujian and Li Song reached Chang'an, the interior of Chang'an was already in chaos.
Today's rebellion, tomorrow's rebellion, and Wang Mang has become more and more nervous, today this looks like a rebellion, killing, tomorrow it looks like a rebellion, and killing again, up and down the government and the opposition, making people panic, and everyone is in danger.
When Shen Tujian and Li Song led the army and approached the city, there were few soldiers willing to defend the city, and there was not a single soldier in the surrounding counties who were willing to reinforce Chang'an.
I have to say that at such a critical moment, Wang Yi, who was defeated by Liu Xiu in Kunyang, showed extraordinary loyalty to Wang Mang.
At this time, the people who followed Wang Mang, even if they counted ministers and eunuchs, were only about a thousand people, and in the face of tens of thousands of Han troops, how could they resist it?
Even Wang Yi's son, seeing that the situation was not good, wanted to escape, but was forced by Wang Yi with a sword and failed to run, so he had to bite the bullet and follow his father Wang Yi, desperately protecting Wang Mang and fighting a bloody battle with the Han army.
In the battle of Gradual, Wang Yi almost exhausted all the soldiers under his command, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the disparity was so great that it could no longer be reversed by his will. In the end, Wang Yi and his son were killed in the rebellion.
At that time, the scene was already a mess, Wang Mang panicked, fled into a shop, the shopkeeper of this shop was named Du Wu, Wang Mang fled to his home, if this let the Han army know, then pay it back?
Du Wu wanted to drive Wang Mang out, but Wang Mang refused to leave, and finally Du Wu turned his heart sideways, returned to the back kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and hacked Wang Mang to death with only one knife.
Wang Mang, who ended the Western Han Dynasty and created the Great New Dynasty, and was the Son of Heaven for more than ten years, finally died under the kitchen knife of an ordinary person, which has to be sad and lamentable.
After killing Wang Mang, Du Wu was frightened, and at this time, a Mang military captain rushed in from outside, and he was also startled when he saw Wang Mang's body lying on the ground. This Mang military captain, named Gongbin, he was calm, confirmed that Wang Mang was indeed dead, Gongbin immediately decided, pulled out the sword under his ribs, and hurriedly came to Wang Mang's corpse, and chopped off the head of the corpse with a sword, along with the sky that Wang Mang carried with him
The sub-seal ribbon was taken away together and dedicated to the Han army. Gongbin is undoubtedly a smart man, when he was surrounded by the Han army, cornered, and about to die in the hands of the Han army, he improvised and offered Wang Mang's head and seal, which not only allowed Gongbin to save his life, but also shook his head
changed, from a reckless thief to a hero of recklessness.
After Wang Mang's death, when the Han army cleaned up the battlefield, Wang Mang's harem concubines were all found, but only Queen Shi, whom Wang Mang had just married, could not be found.
No one knows where Shi Luo fled in the chaos, and he can't even find a clue, as if the whole person suddenly disappeared from the world.
Although Shi Luo's whereabouts are unknown, her family was not spared, and his father Shi Chen, along with the whole family, were beheaded by the Han army.
Speaking of which, the Shi family is indeed quite unlucky, within a few months of Shi Luo's marriage to Wang Mang, the Xinmang court was overthrown by the Han army, Wang Mang's life was whimpered, and the Luo family also suffered a catastrophe.
Chang'an was lost, Wang Mang was killed, and the news soon spread to Luoyang. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders of Luoyang.
Even if the Taishi Wang Kuang and the national general Aizhang are capable, at this point, they have no skills to return to heaven.
The day was good, but at night, the defenders of Luoyang were like dumplings, throwing off ropes from the city, and people followed the ropes down the city wall, and ran to the Han army camp in a swarm, surrendering to the Han army.
In just five or six days, the number of defenders of Luoyang was sharply reduced by as much as five or six percent. At this time, Wang Kuang, the chief general of the Han army, realized that the time was ripe and ordered the whole army to attack Luoyang.
There is no suspense in this battle, the Mang army defending the city must have no morale, and there is no determination to be determined, with the Han army's large-scale siege of the city, the city defense of the Mang army in Luoyang City has completely collapsed.
In less than a day, the Han army successfully conquered the huge Luoyang City, and captured alive Wang Kuang, the Taishi of the Xinmang Imperial Court, and the general Wai Zhang in the city.
Lvlin Wang Kuang did not execute Xinmang Wang Kuang, and asked Wang Kuang to be escorted to Wancheng along with the mourning chapter and handed over to Liu Xuan for disposal.
Now Wancheng, every household is full of lanterns, up to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, down to the people of Limin, all of them are happy, as if the New Year is over.
The Xinmang court collapsed, and the original court of its own side became a veritable orthodox court, and the ministers in the court, everyone was a hero of the founding of the country, and in the future, they were added to the rank and knighted, and the future was immeasurable, so how could people be unhappy?
Naturally, the people below were also happy. Nanyang is out of the Son of Heaven, it is the hometown of the Son of Heaven, which will allow Nanyang to get many preferential policies that other states and counties cannot compare, such as tax reduction and exemption policies, which must be inevitable.
Liu Xuan was naturally even happier. After conquering Chang'an, he can live in the real palace of Chang'an, and only when he lives in the real palace can Liu Xuan feel that he is the real son of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Liu Xuan was already fluttering, and he ordered to build a palace in Luoyang.
Although Luoyang is not the capital, its status has always been not low, and it has always been like a companion to the capital. Moreover, Luoyang itself is also very prosperous, with a large population, and the scale of the city is not even inferior to Chang'an.
Liu Xuan wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, and his first thought was to take the route of Luoyang, and he wanted to go to Luoyang first.
To build a palace in Luoyang, someone needed to be the supervisor, and at this time, Cao Xu suggested to Liu Xuan that Liu Xiu should go to Luoyang to supervise the affairs of the palace. At this time, Liu Xuan already trusted Cao Xu very much, and almost obeyed his words.
After listening to Cao Xu's suggestion, although Liu Xuan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still agreed, named Liu Xiu as the lieutenant of Sili, and went to Luoyang to buy the palace.
Si Li, although he has the title of captain, this official position is not low, and it is equivalent to the chief inspector who supervises the Jingshi region.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no grade, and the grade was divided by Yulu. The Yulu of the captain of Sili is 2,000 stones, which is the same as that of the county guard. Although he has the title of captain, he has a higher status, greater authority, and more money, which is much stronger than what is too often a general.
