"Okay, very good, you really deserve to be the courtiers and generals of my Han Dynasty, you can do it to such a point, fool the people, deceive Your Majesty, you say, what else do you dare not do???" In the mansion of General Pengshancheng in Hongzhou, an old man was gritting his teeth and looking at a piece of Han army generals who were kneeling on the ground, this person was Quzhou Hou Lishang.

Li Shang, a native of Gaoyang, Chenliu (now southwest of Qixian County, Henan). When Chen Sheng raised an army against Qin, Li Shang gathered to recruit troops and buy horses, and got thousands of people. Liu Bang attacked the city and seized the land to Chenliu, and Li Shang led more than 4,000 soldiers to surrender to Liu Bang. Follow Liu Bang to attack Changshe and give him the letter to become a king. He followed Liu Bang to attack the Wu clan, blockade the Yellow River crossing, and break the Qin army in Luoyang. followed Liu Bang to capture Wan and Sui, and pacified 17 counties. He alone led the army to attack Xunguan and pacify Hanzhong.

In 206 BC, Liu Bang was named King of Han, gave Li Shang Xincheng the title of Junjun, and served as the governor of Longxi with the position of general. Li Shang also led his army alone to pacify Beidi and Shangjun. Defeat the army led by Yongwang Zhanghan, Zhou Zhi, and Su Tuo. Sent troops to Juye, because of the fierce battle, Liu Bang awarded him the seal of the Liang State, and increased the number of food towns by 4,000 households. With the position of Xiangguo of Liang, he fought with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu for two years and three months, and captured Huling.

In 202 BC, the Yan king Zang Tu rebelled, and Li Shang followed Liu Bang as a general to attack Zang Tu and defeated Zang Di's army in Yixia. Because of his meritorious service in killing the enemy, he was promoted to the right prime minister, named Zhuo Hou, and later changed to Qu Zhou Hou. He also pacified Shanggu, attacked Dai County, and pacified Dai County and Yanmen County with Zhou Bo and others. and attacked Chen Xuan. In 180 BC, Li Shang died and was nicknamed Jinghou.

Li Shang has made great achievements in his life, and his brother Li Qishi, who has a three-inch tongue and says all the world, is a very strong existence among the military generals in the early Han Dynasty, and this time he came to take over the mess left by Zhang Ao, and after more than ten days of secret observation, it really shocked Li Shang. Because he found that these Han generals had no fighting spirit, could it be that their fighting spirit was wiped out in just a few years of peaceful life?

So, there is the above scene.

A slap will give sweet dates, which is something that has been tried and tested since ancient times.

Li Shang's face softened, and he said: "I know that the responsibility is not on you at this time, but as a courtier, you must be loyal to the king." If you deal with things so passively, if it reaches your majesty's ears, what will happen to you? ”

said. Li Shang's eyes swept across with a fierce light, and the evil aura on his body was unbearable even for the generals of the Han army who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the people who looked at him all broke out in a cold sweat, soaking through the clothes on their backs, I don't know whether they were frightened by Li Shang's words or intimidated by his gaze.

The scene was extremely cold all of a sudden. Li Qishi's son, Sorghum Gonghou Li Yan, came out at the right time and said: "I also asked my uncle to give them a chance to mend their ways, but Zhang Ao failed to arrange it properly when he left." and put himself in a desperate situation. It is good that the generals who have lost the united front have no choice but to fight on their own, and it is good to have this, and please give them a chance to see that they have trapped those rebels under the hard work of the local area! ”

"We deserve death for our crimes, and please give us another chance, and we will live up to the prime minister's trust!" The many Han generals kneeling were not without eyes. Even if you know in your heart that the other party is giving you a bad ride, who makes yourself inferior? is still obediently endured, waiting for the other party's new official to take office three fires.

"Humph!" Li Shang didn't say anything, and dropped a sentence lightly: "Wait until you go back to train for a month." I'll see if you really change your ways in a month, otherwise, you will know the consequences!! ”

Hearing Li Shang speak, these generals finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were not afraid of the other party's opening, they were afraid that the other party would not speak.

When these generals retreated, there were only Li Shang and his son Li Ji and his nephew Li Ji left in the main hall, Li Shang frowned tightly, trying to think about something, and said: "But I didn't expect that a small Xihe City would develop so much in such a short period of time, although the army is not dominant, the quality is quite good, compared to the elite of the rest of the battle, this time, Zhang Ao is not wronged!" ”

Liu Bang sent Zhang Ao to come, these days Li Shang also learned some things in detail, and found that Zhang Ao was not as young and vigorous as he imagined before, in fact, he came single-handedly, and without any troops in his hands, he managed an army of nearly 100,000 in just one month, it is conceivable that Zhang Ao is not bad.

Of course, it can't be said that it is all Zhang Ao's credit, but the arrangement arranged by Zhang Ao before he was arrested, even if it is implemented by other generals, can be implemented, it can be seen that Zhang Ao's methods and skills are actually not bad.

"Zhang Ao is a yellow-mouthed child, if it were me, I would not have had a tough confrontation with a traitor at that time! Moreover, being defeated and captured is simply the greatest shame since the founding of our Han Dynasty. The young Li was arrogant, obviously ignoring Zhang Ao, the general of the defeated army.

"You know what! Your Majesty has said this, how can you make a false theory! Li Shang glared at his son fiercely.

Although Zhang Ao's capture caused a great shock in the Han Dynasty, in fact, he did not express any views at the top, in fact, everyone can see clearly, Zhang Ao's surrender is not a betrayal or otherwise, but a very meaningful action, or to rescue Xi Juan, or to lay a nail in the rebellion, the most unfortunate is also a comprehensive understanding of the rebellious force, strength, etc., when Liu Bang cleaned up Xiang Yu, he gave Xihe a thunderous blow to the force, and did not give the other party a way to live.

Of course, the above is always everyone's speculation, what Liu Bang thinks and thinks, I am afraid that only he knows the Tao.

warned Li Ji, Li Shang saw that Li Ji was still full of indifferent expressions, and said seriously: "Zhang Ao chose to fight hard with the other party, and in the case of not occupying the time and people, but it is not as simple as you see, the situation at that time, Zhang Ao must go, one, the troops, at that time, there was no war in various state cities for a long time, the troops were scarce, the city wall was broken, and Zhang Yuan heard Zhang Ao's arrival, and chose to fight in person, if Zhang Ao did not go to the battle, then the morale that had fallen to the bottom would inevitably completely collapse, in time, The West River will have more mobile space without fighting, and it will be even more difficult for us to destroy them! ”

"This is one of them, and the other is that Zhang Yuan's relatives are on the expedition, there is a way to capture the thief and capture the king first, and shoot the horse first, whether it is with confidence or otherwise, I have to try it, but Zhang Ao never expected that the Hundred Flowers City, which had not been fought for a long time, was so unbearable, although it was not a defeat without a fight, but he could not resist an attack by the other party when he went to the front line in person, and there was no difference between it and a collapse without a fight, it can only be said that Zhang Ao was too unlucky!"
