Han Shizu

Chapter 398
When the arrangement by the Han court was in full swing, the situation in Hunan underwent earth-shaking changes.The Ma brothers have fought against each other for three years, but there has been no result, but in these three winter months, the winner has been decided.

On the day of Changsha City Slope, it was snowing heavily in Tanzhou, and the ground was four feet flat. Ma Xiguang, king of Chu, threw down his monk's clothes to worship and pray for blessings.The city of Changsha was easily broken, the defenders were terrified, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and colluded with each other inside and outside. Ma Xie's Langzhou soldiers and barbarian soldiers joined forces to attack, and they collapsed at the first touch. They fell in the wind, and Changsha fell to Ma Xie hand.

Looking at the situation, there is really a kind of heart-warming look.As a matter of fact, no one in Hunan knows that Ma Xie is unbearable, but why so many people are willing to follow him and help him seize power.It is true that Chu Wang Ma Xiguang is too incompetent.

Many times, it is better to follow the wicked than to follow the good!
Once in Changsha, there will be a winner among the Ma brothers, and the situation in Hunan will come to an end.Of course, it's just a preliminary decision.

After taking Changsha, Ma Xie called himself General Tiance, Military Jiedushi of Wu'an, Wuping, Jingjiang, Ningyuan, etc., and King of Chu.With Xichong as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, the judge's government affairs, important positions in Hunan, all of them are from Lang people.

At the same time, a large-scale retaliation was carried out in Changsha, with food and food festivals, cruel methods, plundering the people, and distributing the treasury to meet the promise to the barbarians.When the war was eliminated, Changsha suffered more and more.

Ma Xiguang, the king of Chu, could not escape the fate of death. After all, Ma Xie did not have the kindness of "not forbearing to harm his brother".Ironically, before his execution, Ma Xiguang was still reciting Buddhist scriptures
And the army sent to Tunli by the Northern Han Dynasty, under the command of the defense envoy Cao Yin, took the road to Jiangling to replenish supplies, add more boats, and then march.

Just like what Wang Pu described when he recommended him, Cao Yin commanded the army, calm and prudent, and liked to stay in battle. Although he lost his flexibility, he won in safety.Especially this time, he was even more careful when he led the army to station the enclave.

He didn't go south in a hurry, he went all the way calmly, surveyed the route, ascertained the terrain, and was optimistic about the retreat, and because the soldiers didn't know the general, Cao Yin went south all the way.

The result of this is that the Han army has not reached Lizhou, and Hunan "the situation is settled."In this case, it reflects the foresight of Wei Renpu's previous considerations. He had already asked the emperor for his permission, no matter how the situation in Hunan develops, he would not hesitate to occupy Lizhou.

Without political concerns, it is much easier for Cao Yin to act only from military considerations.I learned about the situation in Lizhou from Jingnan early, and sent people to investigate in advance.

The elite soldiers in Langzhou were all taken by Ma Xie to fight Changsha, and the remaining few soldiers had to be stationed in the old nest of Langzhou, and they almost gave up on Lizhou in the north. There were only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled.

If the Jingnan soldiers came to attack, there may be other explanations. Cao Yin led the Han army to the city, and Lizhou raised the flag and surrendered. It can be described as welcoming the king.

The Han army rolled into the city without any effort.After entering the city, Cao Yin quickly occupied the government offices, government treasuries, and barracks, and reported to Tokyo in handwriting, conscripted the people to repair the city, trained officers and soldiers as imperial preparations, and quickly entered the role!

On the Tokyo side, they did not overreact to the reports about Hunan.According to Liu Chengyou's intention, the two systems were issued under Zhongshu's sect.

Yizhi was sent to Changsha to question Ma Xie, and severely questioned him about killing his brother, harming the people, and arrogating himself.

The other system was sent to Lizhou to commend Cao Yin for his aggressiveness, and for his good defense, as the city of Hanzhou.

His attitude towards Ma Xie was very tough, and he was labeled as rebellious. On the side of the Northern Han monarchs and ministers, the late King of Chu was still orthodox.

Generally speaking, when standing on the side of the winner.But Liu Chengyou had evil intentions in the first place, and he did this to continue to relieve the wariness of the Southern Tang monarchs and ministers.Look, the court of the Northern Han Dynasty and Ma Chu were at odds with each other, and the two were incompatible, so hurry up and seize the good opportunity to expand the territory.

The situation in Hunan is still waiting to ferment. Although its essence has been severely damaged by the war, animals are not prosperous, and people's hearts are in turmoil, there is still a little strength.Before Ma Xi'e loses some of his strength, he can still maintain a fragile stability.

As for how to develop in the future, Han Ting does not intend to do more actions. It is necessary to know that it is too late. Everything depends on Ma Xie and how Nantang makes decisions.

At the end of the third year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou received a sad news in Tokyo that Liu Shen, the defense envoy of Ruzhou, died in his post.

At the beginning of Han Xing, the world was turbulent and people's hearts were different. The reason why Liu's father and son were able to win the world was not only the convenience of nature, the strong soldiers of Hedong, but also the support of many veterans and generals.

For example, Feng Dao, Bai Wenke, Hu Yanke, Shi Kuangyi, Liu Shenjiao and as far as Liu Chengyou is concerned, only Liu Shenjiao gave him the best senses.

At the beginning, he was suspicious because he helped Wei Wang Liu Chengxun to farm the fields in Zhengzhou, but after getting in touch with him, he found that he was a practical official with a long-standing ambition and the ability to manage the world.The most important thing is the eyesight.

Zhengzhou's garrison affairs are well-organized and gradually getting on the right track. Ruzhou's near-assistant is known as "difficult to manage."Before leaving office, he also recommended Jing Fan, a minister, to Liu Chengyou. During his succession in Zhengzhou, he made remarkable achievements.

When he was in office in Ruzhou, he tried his best to get rid of disadvantages without disturbing the people. He advised farming and mulberry, developed business, and the people sang it.In the past two or three years, in terms of the recovery and development of people's livelihood in the counties of Jinji Prefecture, North Zhengzhou and South Ruzhou are collectively known as the two prefectures.

Liu Chengyou respected him very much because of his political achievements, which were visible to the naked eye, and he always thought of him, and he would always think of the veterans during festivals and palace rewards.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Shenjiao was weak and ill, and lay on the couch. Liu Chengyou heard about it, and originally intended to let him serve as an official and take care of his life, but he refused, saying that your people are not safe and cannot bear to abandon him.

In order to take care of the veteran's wishes, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to reward him, and at the same time bestowed famous doctors and good medicines, which can be regarded as a continuation of life, and ordered the bureaucrats of Ruzhou to share government affairs and do their best.For the kindness of the emperor, even with Liu Shen's sophistication, he couldn't help but be grateful.During his illness, facing the visitors, he often sighed emotionally, saying that in his rare years, he still knew the Lord, and even though it was not the right time, this life was enough.

Just like cooperating with each other, the deep friendship between Liu Chengyou and Liu Shenjiao, the young and old monarch and minister, has been widely publicized, spread far and wide, and widely praised.

Now that the old official passed away after all, it was considered to be the end of his life, but Liu Chengyou still showed grief and reluctance, and ordered the abolition of the court for three days to mourn him.The posthumous posthumous words followed his posthumous name and asked Feng Dao to personally write an obituary, detailing his meritorious deeds.The people of Ruzhou wrote a letter to commemorate Liu Shenjiao, so follow it.At the same time, shade his descendants and make up for the honorary officer.

For Liu Shenjiao, Liu Chengyou showed great affection.

Afterwards, Liu Chengyou began to reflect on his own mistakes, learned from the pain, called a group of officials, and said: Liu Wenhui (the posthumous title of Liu Shenjiao established by the court), over [-] years old, appointed him to work, and suffered from official duties. My fault.

There is nothing good that can be improved after passing by.Then, in order to be sympathetic and prevent the veterans from continuing to wither, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to let those who are too old and infirm in the Tokyo court be rewarded with money and food, and become officials as honored officials.

As a result, more than [-] positions of different ranks have been vacated in the various functions and government offices of the central government, regardless of the military or government. These positions have more real power.

The Northern Han Dynasty received the three dynasties of Liang, Tang, and Jin, and even the survivors of Li and Tang. These people, if not faint, were too old to keep up with today's footsteps.

Therefore, they will be cleared out of the imperial court by Liu Chengyou one after another.
