Section 146 Changes in the Kingdom of Wu

Just when Liu De was admiring the engraving printing, in the far south, across the Yangtze River, a majestic city stood on the riverside, boats and boats, and a large flow of people.

This is Guangling City, an important town in the south of the Han family, and the capital of Liu Bi, the king of Wu.

Liu Bi, the king of Wu in military uniform, was walking on the top of the city at this time, overlooking the splendid rivers and mountains on both sides of the river.

"The widow followed Emperor Gao back then, conquered Yingbu in the south, killed the Han thief, Emperor Gao was brave and brave, named the king of Wu, and awarded the important task of Annan, forty-two years, the widow has been sleeping at night, and there is a good situation in Wu today!" Although Liu Bi is sixty-two years old this year, he is the oldest among the princes and kings of the Han family, but he is still in good health and extremely talkative.

Those who followed Liu Bi, the king of Wu, were all trusted generals under his command.

No matter what the world thinks of Liu Bi, just in terms of his governance of the Wu State, he is indeed a master.

In the past 42 years, with the help of the profits of salt money, Liu Bi has forged ahead, making the Wu State, which was broken by the war, uninhabited for thousands of miles, full of swamps and ruins, now a large southern country with a large population, continuous farmland, developed industry and commerce, and a prosperous military power.

Under the rule of Wu, there were three counties and fifty-three cities, and in addition to the field tax, the rest of the miscellaneous taxes were all exempted by Liu Biao.

Therefore, in the land of Wu, the people only know that there is a king of Wu but do not know that there is a son of heaven, and the generals of the state of Wu only recognize the king of Wu and the tiger talisman, but not the son of heaven and the tiger.

Especially the new generation of young people who have grown up, they have almost forgotten that there is a place called Chang'an, and they are still in charge!

In the hearts of these people, King Wu is their monarch!

Liu Bi walked up to the city tower and continued: "It's a pity. This great situation is about to be ruined! ”

He turned around and looked at his generals. Said: "There are thieves in the Han Dynasty, and there is no merit in the world." Invade the princes' lands, do not treat the Liu family with the courtesy of the princes, and the first emperor is a hero. Majesty xià is sick and lost, and cannot be examined! ”

"What a crime did King Zhao have, he actually cut down his Hejian County!" Liu Bi asked indignantly: "The king of Jiaoxi is just selling his title, so he will cut six counties, cut Zhao Guo yesterday, cut Jiaoxi today, and tomorrow it may be my turn to Wu Guo." Dare to ask the generals, how can the widow be relative? ”

I have to admit that Liu Bi's speech was good, and his tone was very well grasped, which soon incited the anger of the generals against the imperial court.

The Han family cut the other princes, and the generals of the Wu State had no opinion.

But if you want to cut Wu Guo, you can't agree!

Why, in the country of Wu, even the lowest level of peasants can live a very nourishing life.

Although the state of Wu is located in the humid land of the south. There are swamps everywhere, but you only need to pay a field tax of 30 taxes here!

What is more endowed and oral calculations do not have to be paid, and King Wu bears it together, not only that. King Wu also canceled all the practices, which is equivalent to saying that this is a place where there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. A paradise where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Under the temptation of such benefits, the displaced people from all over the world and even the poor people of vassal states such as Nanyue, Dongou, and Minyue all fled to settle in the territory of Wu.

More than ten years. It will make the ruined place prosperous. The swamp was filled, the houses were built, and the countryside began to appear, and by now, the population of the three counties of Wu has reached nearly two or three million, with an average of one million people in one county!

This is an indelible feat of King Wu Liu Bi!

As for the nobles of the Wu State to keep up with the upper class, the days are even more nourishing.

The abundant salt and coinage income allowed Wu to absorb half of the world's wealth with the land of three counties, and under such a huge amount of wealth, as long as he was not too stupid, he could live a very leisurely life.

At this time, they heard that the imperial court was actually going to cut the fiefdom of Wu State?

Can you bear it there?

Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, villagers, and elders!

Whether to live a comfortable life in the country of Wu, or go back to pay all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to the Han court and serve in forced labor, even if you use your butt to make a choice!

A general came out to worship and said: "Great King, the imperial court will cut other feudal countries, and the last general will have no opinion, but if the Son of Heaven wants to cut my Wu Kingdom, the ministers will not agree!" ”

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, looked over, it was his favorite general Hengba, young and promising, and he was also quite famous in the army.

As soon as Hengba said this, the other generals knelt down excitedly and said: "Exactly, if the Son of Heaven wants to cut my Wu Kingdom, I would rather die than agree!" ”

Liu Bi saw that his generals supported him, and he was relieved, but he still pretended to sigh with emotion: "It's a pity that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die...... The widow is a Hanchen, and he is favored by the country, and he dares to rebel against the Son of Heaven? Not for either! ”

"King!" A general knelt on the ground and cried: "We will not oppose the Son of Heaven, but only the traitor...... How about the name of the Qingjun? ”

"Qingjun's side?" Liu Bi finally had a smile on his face when he heard this.

This excuse is good!

So, he stroked his beard and said, "Since the widow has been favored by Emperor Gao, he has sealed the state of Wu and become the princes of the Han Dynasty, and An Ke has sat back and watched the traitors mess up the country, overthrow Sheji, and repeat the disaster of the Lu family?" ”

He bowed to the generals and said: "Since the generals are willing to support the widow, the widow will give up his life, and he will also seek an explanation for the world and justice for the Liu family!" ”

"Please go back, straighten out the armaments, train the soldiers, wait for the widow to contact the princes, and clear the king's side, punish the traitorous ministers, stabilize the world, and after the success, the widow will not hesitate to reward heavily!" Liu Bi solemnly bowed.

"No!" The generals bowed down in black pressure: "Obey the king's orders!" ”

In the past, three thousand Yuejia could swallow Wu, and now, it is not impossible for the powerful Wu State to win the world!

Liu Bi stood on the city tower and looked in the direction of distant Chang'an.

He said in his heart, "My son, you will avenge your father and seek justice!" ”

His eldest son, his favorite son, and his most promising son, died in Chang'an, and he will never forget the situation when his son's coffin was transported back to Guangling from Chang'an.

Even though the body had been disposed of, the blurred countenance told him how unjustly his son had been treated.

Since then, he has vowed revenge!

After 16 years of rearmament and warfare, accumulating grain and grass, and hoarding armaments, until now, we finally have the strength to fight a war.

Moreover, in the territory of Wu State, the hearts of the army, the people, and even the hearts of Shilin are all on his side.

With the help of the princes, it is really not a big deal, and the revenge cannot be avenged!

"Liu Qi, I want you to pay for your life!" Liu Biao roared angrily in his heart, the revenge of killing his son, the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, was tormenting his heart all the time, and now, he finally saw the hope of revenge, how could he not be happy.

So, that night, King Wu Liu Bi had a hangover.

And in the place that Liu Wei didn't pay attention to, a fine work placed by the Han family in Guangling City, but on this night, with a wax-sealed secret music, quietly took a small boat from a pier in Guangling City, and took advantage of the night all the way to the north.

Twelve hours later, this secret letter arrived in Xingyang, and Xingyang was so shocked that he immediately sent it to Chang'an in an expedited manner for 800 miles. (To be continued......)
