Chapter 804 I have the advantage, how can I lose?
Xu Huang had nothing to say to the guy who couldn't wait to enjoy the reincarnation service, so he could only send the news back to the court as soon as possible to let Liu Bei know, so that Liu Bei could come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Then he continued to lead his troops and ran all the way in the direction of Ganling, intending to seal Liu Zhong's mouth before he made a more insane speech, otherwise this wave of Jizhou might really have a "big change".

While Xu Huang was leading his army forward at a gallop, Liu Zhong was thinking about the future "strategic plan".

Liu Zhong was very proud of the victory in the battle that drove Shi Yiguan away. The success of his own conspiracy also made him the biggest contributor to the victory in the Battle of Ganling. He was respected by all the leaders of the rebel army who participated in the war. Everyone unanimously agreed to support Liu Zhong as their leader and pledge allegiance to Liu Zhong.

They said that the big guys all came together to oppose Dutian Ling. Although this is very righteous, it lacks a righteous name. Now that Liu Zhong, the King of Ganling, is the leader, it can be regarded as making up for it. Everyone's righteousness can call on the world to call on everyone to resist Liu Bei's tyranny.

They cried to Liu Zhong about the many insults and pains that Liu Bei had brought to them, and thought that Liu Bei's promotion of the Dutian Order was to kill them. Neither is acceptable.

Some people also said that everyone had to endure the slave restriction last time, but this time Liu Bei went too far. If he continues to endure, who knows whether Liu Bei will make an inch of it and do what Emperor Xiaowu would do back then?
Everyone must work together to let Liu Bei know that Liu Che is not so easy to be, and force Liu Che to do something that angers people and others, be careful that even Liu Xiu can't do it!

Liu Zhong agrees with this, and Liu Zhong also thinks that Liu Bei's operation is too reckless, which is completely harming the interests of the people in the world. He didn't consider how sad everyone was. It was because he felt that he was too strong. So you can be Liu Che, then everyone has to give him a head-on blow and let him know how much he weighs.

And more importantly, in this Ganling League, facing a large group of people bowing their heads and "loyalty", Liu Zhong, who felt unprecedented honor and power, quickly swelled up.

He felt that he seemed to be very powerful. He had thousands of troops all of a sudden, so many people obeyed his orders, and he could order so many people to charge and fight. Isn't he very powerful?

Maybe it's time to do something you've always wanted to do but haven't done.

If it is done, not to mention the preservation of the throne, it is not unimaginable for other positions to be preserved!
So Liu Zhong began to have a crooked mind-he raised his doubts about Liu Bei's throne with ulterior motives.

He said that this was an instinctive suspicion he had as the Zongwang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also a deep-seated worry he had against Liu Bei. On the opposite side of Liu Bei, because they are not members of a family in essence.

Although the inheritance of the throne in the Eastern Han Dynasty did not pay much attention to the inheritance within a family, and sometimes it would be extended to the selection of heirs within the clan, but if the distance is too far, it will definitely not work.

And while he has the status of the Zongwang, he is far from Liu Bei in terms of blood relationship. He thinks that Liu Bei will not tolerate him continuing to be the Zongwang after all, so instead of waiting for Liu Bei's knife to cut him over, it is better to cut it directly and let him Let's see who has the sharpest knife.

So at the meeting, Liu Zhong suggested that there was a problem with Liu Bei's throne, and it was very problematic, and he was unwilling to recognize Liu Bei's throne.

He wanted to do something special, such as changing the former little emperor Liu Xie back.

"Even if the late emperor had no sons, the emperor's successor should be selected from the close branches of the royal family, so as to be able to convince the public, not to mention that the two sons of the late emperor are still alive at the moment, the eldest son is guilty and cannot inherit the throne, but the second son is obviously the son of heaven, But Liu Bei deposed the throne, which is pure usurpation.

In fact, before, many people suspected that Liu Bei was suspected of usurping the throne, following the story of Wang Mang, seizing the throne from the empress dowager, coercing and luring, forcing the empress dowager and the emperor to submit, doing things that rebellion would do, and disappointing the emperor's treatment of him The trust and expectation of my parents, such an act, really makes me heartbroken!
We are all the people of the big man, and they are all people who have received the kindness of the late emperor. Now the son of the late emperor has been seized by Liu Bei, and he has been bullied by Liu Bei. This kind of thing is happening before our eyes. Can our loyal ministers and righteous people turn a blind eye to it?If so, what face do we have to face the late Emperor after we die? "

Liu Zhong's statement at the time shocked many people.

Because they never thought of questioning Liu Bei's throne.

They just oppose the Dutian Order. Liu Bei’s rule is basically not a big problem, and it can still maintain stability. They like stability, but they don’t like paying taxes. As long as Liu Bei abandons the Dutian Order, don’t hinder them from making money. They don’t mind doing it elsewhere. On the one hand, cooperate with Liu Bei.

As for the issue of Liu Bei's throne, everyone who should doubt it is almost the same, but the procedures are complete and the seal is legal. Luo Yang admits that even if there was a problem before, there is no problem now.

The crown prince has been established, the foundation of the country is stable, the inheritance is decent, and it is clearly announced to the world, what else can be done?
Everyone just wanted to subdue Liu Bei on economic issues, let him compromise, and then continue to live a good life. They never thought of fundamentally rejecting Liu Bei's political identity.

If this is done, Liu Bei will definitely give up all other fantasies and worries, and directly incarnate as the invincible warrior to fight with them forever, but they don't think it is necessary for them to fight with Liu Bei forever.

Wouldn't it be enough to return to the state of Emperor Guangwu?

But Liu Zhong didn't think so. He knew very well that these guys wanted to raise the banner to be a tiger skin. They elected him as the leader to take advantage of his identity and status, and he just needed such a group of people to act as his leader. Thugs, enhance his strength.

Liu Zhong himself knew that Liu Bei was very capable and a powerful figure who could stabilize the world. For the people of the world, if Liu Bei maintained the stability of the world, then he was a qualified emperor, and no one wanted to replace him.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Zhong wanted to call on the people of the world to defend his king, but he came from an unknown teacher.

But under this circumstance, there are so many people who want to use his name to oppose Liu Bei's Dutian order.

Since you are going to use me, why can't I use you in turn?

Liu Zhong persuaded everyone earnestly.

"Liu Bei is treacherous and cunning. Even if he surrenders for a while, in the long run, it will inevitably be a huge hidden danger. If he backs down now, who can guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the future? And once we lose this opportunity right now, we may be killed by him." Defeat each one, find a reason to eliminate us all, and then implement the Dutian Order.

So this time, we must succeed no matter what, and we must not let Liu Bei have the opportunity to establish the Dutian Order, and the best way is to push Liu Bei from the throne, let the son of the former emperor return to the throne, and be the emperor again. Make sure that we will never have to worry about saving land again. "

In all fairness, what Liu Zhong said was reasonable, because even if Liu Bei was subdued for a while and gave up the Dutian Order, it cannot be said that he would really give up Dutian completely.

Liu Xiu was also Du Tian back then, and he faced too much opposition, so he had to make some compromises in exchange for the stability of the world.

However, in the years that followed, with the settlement of accounts after the fall and the gradual stabilization of his position, he still promoted the implementation of the Dutian Order in the Han Empire to a considerable extent. Within the limits that everyone could barely bear, the Dutian Order was implemented quite strictly. , and even just a few years ago, the local government also implemented the old field order.

Who dares to say that if Liu Bei doesn't do Dutian now, he won't do it in the future?
It is absolutely possible for him not to do it now, but to retreat, to eliminate those who are against him in the years to come, and then wait until he has accumulated enough strength to promote Dutian Order.

So if everyone really wants to protect their property and interests, there is one and only one way.

Taking advantage of Liu Bei's legal loopholes as emperor, severely attacking his orthodox status, shaking his status, losing the throne, and making Liu Xie emperor again, only in this way can we truly safeguard everyone's interests.

Liu Zhong's words made many family representatives ponder, thinking that what Liu Zhong said was reasonable, if Liu Bei was advancing by retreating, the temporary victory would certainly not last long.

Everyone has done rebellious things, captured the city and killed many people. Who can be sure that Liu Bei will not settle accounts after the fall and fight a protracted war with everyone?
That being the case, why can't something more explicit be done?

Fundamentally oppose the legitimacy of Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, overthrow Liu Bei's regime, and support the regime that represents their own interests to be in power.

Such thoughts swept through the rebel army in a short period of time. Except for a few families who were panicked by this, most of the families were quite moved. They felt that they had a good chance of winning at that time, so it should be possible to solve the problem in one step. Negotiable.

Regarding this special situation, only the Cui family, the Sun family, and the He family were terrified. After all kinds of entanglements, they chose to secretly withdraw from the rebel alliance, and then went south to find Shi Yiguan, wanting to surrender to Shi Yiguan and others , admit their mistakes, in exchange for their understanding, so as to strive for leniency after the war.

They dare to oppose the Du Tian Order.

They dare not question Liu Bei's throne.

They felt that those people were purely stuffed with the food they ate, hindering their normal thinking ability and thinking about other things, so they dared to question Liu Bei's throne. They were afraid that they would not die soon enough, right?

Liu Zhong didn't care about the withdrawal of a few cowards, because most of them supported him, and compiled a slogan for him and a political declaration for him, thus embarking on a road of no return.

Liu Zhong thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life, but he did not expect that only six days after the release of this political declaration, the first part of the rebel army was defeated in the west of Ganling County, and more than 5000 people were wiped out by the general of the Han army Xu Huang. Xu Huang is leading the main force of the Han army of more than 1 people towards Ganling County.

A small-scale defeat can't shake Liu Zhong's determination, nor can it shake the will of most of the guys who have already boarded the pirate ship. They know that they have already stood on the opposite side with Liu Bei. So far, apart from winning, it is death .

Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, so why not fight hard once, if you are lucky, you can become a founding hero?
So under Liu Zhong's organization, this group of people carefully selected [-] elite troops from a motley army of [-] to [-] to form the "Loyalty Army" under Liu Zhong's direct command——

Liu Zhong personally named this army the Loyalty Army, saying that this is an army fighting desperately for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and such an army will definitely be able to fight for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

And the members of the major families who participated in the Loyalty Army were also appointed by him as captains and generals, and then 3 people left Ganling County in a mighty manner, heading directly towards Xu Huang to fight Xu Huang In a serious battle, he wants to fight Xu Huangye at the front.

He believes that as long as Xu Huang can be defeated, he can go further north, penetrate Jizhou, find Liu Xie, let Liu Xie ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Hebei, and call on the landlords and powerful men in Hebei to join the army and resist Liu Bei. The foundation, formally declared war on Liu Bei, and retook the route of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Liu Zhong believes that this is an achievable path.

As for defeating Xu Huang, he didn't think it was impossible.

First of all, he has more soldiers and horses than Xu Huang. Xu Huang has only 1 people, and he has 3 people. Thirty thousand is against [-].

Secondly, he waited for work with leisure, Xu Huang came from a long way, and the veterans were tired, so he must have no combat effectiveness, and the advantage lies with me.

Again, although Xu Huang is well-known and a seasoned veteran, Ganling Kingdom is his home ground, and the soldiers around him are all locals who are familiar with the terrain and climate, and the people Xu Huang brings are all soldiers from other places. Unfamiliar with the way of life, away games, great disadvantages.

So, the advantage is still with me.

In this way, Liu Zhong thought that he was an advantaged game with flying dragon riding face, so he wanted to ask those guys who questioned his aggressiveness, how did he lose?
Yes, some guys who are worried about Xu Huang's reputation think that although Xu Huang has only 1 people, they should be all elite soldiers, and his own soldiers lack training and combat experience. It is unwise to force field battles with elite soldiers. They should defend the city. Force the Han army to attack the city and buy time for the people of the world to respond.

As long as they can hold back Xu Huang's army, they can buy more time for other people who want to resist Liu Bei, and more and more people will stand up to resist Liu Bei. will be forced to compromise.

Even eventual failure is not out of the question.

However, Liu Zhong resolutely denied the opinion of defending the city.

He believes that this is tantamount to handing over the advantage of strategic maneuvering to the Han army for no reason. The Han army can arbitrarily cut off their logistics supply routes. At present, they are not ready to be trapped in a city, and there is not enough time. .

If Liu Bei took advantage of this time to dispatch troops and get more troops, wouldn't they have no advantage in strength?
We must go up now and swallow Xu Huang!

Moreover, how can things like guarding an isolated city be something that Liu Zhong can do?

Real men only face the front, and those who guard the lonely city are insects!
He led [-] elite soldiers with great ambitions to fight against Xu Huang.

Then, without any surprise, he was crushed to pieces by Xu Huang in the wilderness.

Xu Huang was also a little worried at the beginning that if there were too many rebels, if he stayed on the defensive, then many Han troops would be a relatively big test. If he could not win quickly, he would need to gather more troops to encircle the rebels. Speaking of the various opinions in the local area, Liu Bei may have some opinions.

That would be bad for him.

Among the five tiger generals, only he is a pure outsider, neither Yuan Cong nor the clan, and he has come to this point entirely through Liu Bei's appreciation and military achievements. Not to mention that he still guards the most fertile land, there are even more people who are jealous.

He must maintain a strong deterrent force, so that he can win every battle. Only with such absolute strength can he deter Xiaoxiao's generation, prove his ability and value, and allow Liu Bei to continue to appoint him.

PS: By the way, K Ji’s breakfast tastes pretty good, and there are quite a lot of varieties, but it’s really their unique ability to sell such a small bowl of porridge for more than ten yuan. What kind of big injustice would buy it? ?

Oh, it turned out to be me.
