Hui Liao knew very well that Liu Xing at this time actually really had a lot of similarities with the Chen Tang back then.

First of all, they are all from poor backgrounds, Chen Tang is a poor scholar, Liu Xing is a wandering Xiaolangzhong, and they are both market generations.

When his father died, Chen Tang did not abide by the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty at that time, and was criticized for evil. Liu Xing is also a person who never likes to put the stereotypes and customs of the Great Song Dynasty in his eyes, and the name of the evil son has long spread all over the world.

The main general was sick, and Chen Tang, as a deputy general, dared to hold a sword to seize military power and fight in the Western Regions. What about Liu Xing? Didn't Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun of Taiyuan City also "seriously ill" when they let Liu Xing suddenly rise up and lay the foundation of today's megatron?

Chen Tang led his troops to fight the Hu people in the Western Regions, and Liu Xing came to destroy the Jurchens, Tatars, and the remnants of Goryeo after sweeping away the Western Xia.

It's just that after Chen Tang seized the military power. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang divided the army into six schools, and the three schools took the south road through the Green Ridge through Dawan.

The other three schools took the north road, entered the red valley, passed through Wusun and Kangju, and Chen Tang captured the relatives of the vice king of Kangju and some nobles along the road. After explanation, they were willing to be guides and gave a detailed introduction to Zhizhi's situation.

After that, the army went straight to the waterside of the Zhizhi city of Dulai and set up camp three miles away from the city. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang observed and ordered the soldiers to surround the city on all sides, killing and injuring the soldiers defending the city with arrows, so they launched a confrontation.

Zhi Zhishan Yu received the news of the Han army's attack and planned to flee, because he suspected that the Kangju people had a grudge against him and had someone who was an internal responder of the Han army. But when he heard that Wusun and other countries had also sent troops to participate in the war, he felt cornered.

He took some people out and came back and said, "It's better to hold on." The Han soldiers came from afar and could not attack for a long time. ”

When the Han soldiers stormed the city. Zhi Zhishan wore armor and led dozens of his wives and concubines to the city tower together, and his wives and concubines also drew bows and arrows.

The arrows of the siege killed several of his wives and concubines, and then shot him in the nose. Zhi Zhi became angry, and went downstairs and rode back to his palace.

The next day, Chen Tang ordered the soldiers to attack with fire on all sides, and beat drums to cheer. The Han army braved the smoke and fire to break through the wooden fence on the periphery and took the opportunity to rush into the earthen city. Zhi Zhishan had only hundreds of men and women and some officials around him, and he was powerless to resist.

The Han soldiers bravely killed and stabbed Zhi to death. Du Xun, the military candidate, cut off the head of Zhi Zhi Shan Yu, rescued two Han Dynasty envoys from prison, and searched the palace for the documents and letters brought by the late envoy Gu Ji.

The soldiers who entered the city searched for the enemy army, killed a total of 1,518 people including Zhi Zhishan Yu's wife and concubine, the crown prince and the prince who had been crowned, and captured 145 officials. In addition, more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were captured and handed over to the small national army that participated in the fight against Zhizhi.

Just when Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang led the soldiers to return triumphantly. Lieutenant Sili of the court also set out from Chang'an, and they stopped Chen Tang from the main road to inspect him.

It turned out that Chen Tang had always been greedy for money, and that was the only biggest difference between him and Liu Xing. After conquering Zhizhi City, a large amount of property was seized at that time, and Chen Tang secretly hid a lot of gold and silver treasures. The insider reported the matter to the imperial court when he was in the Western Regions, so the guards of Sili blocked the road and searched and prepared to arrest him.

Chen Tang immediately wrote to the emperor and said: "I and my soldiers traveled thousands of miles to kill Zhizhi Shan Yu, and it stands to reason that the imperial court should send envoys to comfort the army. And welcomed, but now it is the subordinate who has come to inspect and interrogate. And arrest me, isn't this revenge for Zhizhi? ”

The emperor then ordered the withdrawal of the subordinates, and ordered the wine and food lanes to be set up along the Luzhou counties to welcome the passage of the victorious army.

Liu Xing seems to have made such a big business in the Hunter Valley, and he seems to be very greedy for money. But when I saw it, it was only that since the establishment of the four Tzu Chi associations, Liu Xing's private donation of money, food, and opportunities has been more than half of the total income of those industries in the past year.

Chen Tang's greed for money is selfishness. Liu Xing is for Tzu Chi's benefit. This is very different and fundamentally different.

It is precisely because of this difference that although Chen Tang later won a big victory, he was still sued by others when he returned to Chang'an and was dismissed from office and imprisoned. Today's Liu Xing, it is considered kindness that he does not let others go to prison. Who can let Liu Xing go to prison?

Of course, Chen Tang later rose again. A few years after his first expedition to the Western Regions and his return to Chang'an to be imprisoned, Duan Huizong, the capital of the Western Regions, was besieged by Wusun soldiers and horses, and Duan Huizong sent people to ask the imperial court to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Wang Shang, General Wang Feng and hundreds of officials discussed for several days but there was no result. Wang Feng suggested to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty that Chen Tang help with the planning. Emperor Cheng immediately summoned Chen Tang. Chen Tang had fallen ill with rheumatism as early as when he attacked Zhizhi, and his arms could not be bent and extended. Therefore, when he met the emperor, the emperor first issued an edict not to bow down, and asked him to read the emergency distress recital written by Duan Huizong.

Chen Tang excused himself and said: "The prime ministers are all virtuous and bright, and the ministers are not enough to plan big things." ”

Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty heard the resentment in his words, so he said: "The country is in a hurry, and the king will not let it." ”

Chen Tang said: "The minister thought that there would be nothing to worry about. ”

Emperor Cheng of Han asked him why he said this?

He replied: "Under normal circumstances, five Hu soldiers are equivalent to one Han soldier, because their weapons are primitive and bulky, and their bows and arrows are not sharp. Now they have also learned the production skills of Han soldiers, and have better knives and arrows, but they can still calculate combat effectiveness by three to one. The Usun soldiers and horses besieging Huizong now are not enough to defeat Huizong, so Your Majesty can rest assured. Even if troops are sent to rescue, light cavalry can travel an average of 50 miles a day, and heavy cavalry can only travel 30 miles on average, which is not an emergency soldier at all. ”

Chen Tang knew that Wusun's army was a rabble and could not attack for a long time.

So he counted the date and said: "Now the siege there has been lifted." In less than five days, there will be good news. Four days later, the military letter was returned, saying that the Wusun soldiers had broken the siege and left.

Later, the general Wang Feng felt that Chen Tang was experienced and useful through this incident, so he asked the emperor to use Chen Tang and let him be engaged in Zhonglang, and asked him to make decisions on major military matters.

Although Chen Tang, who is greedy for money, is strict with laws and regulations, he adopts everyone's opinions to do things, and he has a handsome demeanor. But he often accepted bribes for money, and eventually became discredited because of it.

At this point, Liu Xing obviously will not have a day when he will be ruined because of greed for money. However, Hui Liao knew very well that once he really slaughtered the Yan clan and killed all the Tatars and Goryeo people who had entered the land of Saibei, Liu Xing would probably not have much merit left over the years.

Knowing this, when the messenger wanted to turn around and give the order, he couldn't help but step forward and grabbed the messenger.

Turning around to look at Liu Xing, he said, "Stinky boy!" Killing is not the only means of victory, do you want to be scolded by the world as a tyrannical lord in a hundred years? Think twice, think again, and think again, is it better to revise this order? (To be continued.) )
