Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 73

In the decisive battle in Monan, the Xiongnu Shanyu's 30 army was defeated and returned. Wei Qingqiu's wind swept away the fallen leaves, scaring the Xiongnu Shanyu to flee back to Shanyuting, but found that Shanyuting had already been swept away by Huo Qubing.

In desperation, the Xiongnu Shanyu had no choice but to flee to Mobei and establish a new Shanyu Court in Mobei.

In this battle, the main force of the Xiongnu suffered a disastrous defeat, and the pattern of strength between the Han and the Huns completely changed.

General Wei Qing has already been ranked among the three princes, and has been promoted to the highest rank among the twentieth ranks. He has no seal, so the emperor Liu Che had no choice but to reward him with a thousand pieces of gold, and increase the fiefdoms and food towns.

Huo Qubing's 800 men attacked Shan Yuting far away, captured a large number of Xiongnu nobles, and was named a champion by Emperor Liu Che, with [-] households in the city.

Wang Changzhi, the middle general, Zhang Cigong, the left general, and Li Xi, the rear general, were each conferred marquis, and they added [-] households in the city.

Even Wang Changyu, the head of the village, was promoted to Sima in the army because of the capture of Luo Gubi, an old nobleman of the Huns, and was promoted to the title of Zhonggeng.

To celebrate this great victory, Emperor Liu Che changed his reign to Yuanshou.
-
Yuanshou first year
A scholar rebelled, but failed in ten years, and the king of Huainan rebelled, failed in 40 years.

Liu An, king of Huainan, is a very interesting person. He wanted to rebel from the moment Emperor Han Jing came to the throne. As a result, when the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out, when he really had the opportunity to rebel, he persuaded him instead, and rejected Wu Wang Liu Bi’s invitation to rebel. Without attracting the court's attention, he took the initiative to help the court wipe out the remnants of the Seven Kingdoms rebel army.

As soon as Emperor Liu Che came to the throne, he asked dozens of his disciples to compile the book "Huainanzi", in which he crazily advocated the enfeoffment system of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Fan is a tyrannical regime comparable to that of Emperor Qin.

When Liu Che sent an army to conquer the Xiongnu, he kept contacting those tyrants who had been cut off from leeks, preparing to rebel. After more than ten years of preparation, he still did not start to act.

When Wei Qing took the most elite troops of the big Han to crusade against the Xiongnu, he began to prepare to take the opportunity to rebel, but he kept preparing, but did not dare to take real action until Wei Qing was finished and Huo Qubing was named the champion. Prepare.

Finally, because Liu An was unwilling to follow the Tweet Order and wanted his eldest grandson to inherit the entire feudal kingdom, the other son chose to exterminate his relatives in a fit of anger because he could not inherit the feudal kingdom, and reported the fact that his father intended to rebel to the court.

Emperor Liu Che was overjoyed, and finally had an excuse to kill Huainan Kingdom, so he immediately appointed Wang Changzhi as the chariot general, and let Wang Changzhi lead the army to attack Huainan Kingdom.

As for King Huainan's family property, it must be filled by Emperor Liu Che into the treasury and used to fight the Huns.

……

Shouchun
This is the king's capital of Huainan, and it is extremely rich, but today, people in Shouchun City are in panic. Everyone in the city knows that their great king, Liu An, is completely finished!

Although Liu An has always wanted to rebel, he has always been very cowardly, he has no resourcefulness, let alone courage, but he still treats the people benevolently.

Under his rule, the living standards of the people in Huainan Kingdom were at least much higher than those under the rule of Emperor Liu Che.

Because although the self-cultivating farmers under the imperial court only need to pay one-fifteenth of the land tax, the imperial court's tax focus has always been the poll tax. Compared with the one-fifteenth land tax, a poll tax of up to 120 yuan is the most The reason why the self-cultivating farmers are miserable, in addition, the self-cultivating farmers also have to pay various miscellaneous taxes and bear corvees, and they have to work as coolies for the government for free every year. The real living standard is actually the same as that of Luoyueyuan The tenants who paid seven floors of rent were similar. After all, although the tenants of Luoyueyuan paid more rent, the Wang family helped them hide their household registration, so they no longer had to serve the court.

Compared with the self-cultivated farmers under the imperial court and the tenant farmers under the powerful gentry, the people of Huainan Kingdom lived in a fairyland.

Therefore, hearing that the imperial army was going to attack the city, the people of Shouchun spontaneously organized to resist the imperial army.

I'd rather be a Huainan slave than a Han Tingmin.

Of course, not all the princes are as benevolent as King Huainan and love the people. Most of the princes and kings are greedy.

The standard of living of the people in a vassal state depends entirely on whether the vassal king has a conscience.

"I knew it would be like this. At the beginning, the widows should have followed the King of Wu. With my help, the Seven Kingdoms might have won. Now I am the only Huainan Kingdom left. How can I resist the army of the imperial court? Alas..." Huainan King Liu An regretted Mo Zhi, he knew that there was no hope of winning this war, and the gap in strength was too great.

If all the princes and tyrants who have been cut leeks can unite, they can still overthrow the imperial court.

But just as the tenant farmers were just a mob fighting against the powerful gentry, the powerful gentry and the princes were also a mob fighting against the court.

The united tenant farmers can easily overthrow the tyrants, and the tyrants can easily overthrow the imperial court when united, but all this can only be realized in fantasy.

How to divide the bottom tenants is a compulsory course for every powerful gentry, and how to divide and balance the powerful gentry is a compulsory course for every emperor.

……

"Cousin, do you want to attack the city?"

Wang Changyu, who had been promoted to Sima in the army, asked Wang Changzhi from the side. His left arm was bandaged, and it was obvious that he hadn't recovered yet.

Since they were all from the same family, Wang Changzhi directly promoted Sima Wang Changyu in the army to be his temporary staff, so that Wang Changyu could more conveniently mix military merits.

"Wang Changyu, Sima in the army, needs to be called by title in the army!" Wang Changzhi reprimanded in a low voice.

He didn't want someone to take advantage of the issue and say that he was nepotism, although he was indeed cronyist, so he frowned and reminded his cousin not to call him so kindly. After all, the Wang family is not the Wei family, and you, Wang Changyu, are not Huo Qubing. It is not good to complain to His Majesty about this matter, although there will be nothing wrong with their military achievements, but they will end up with a bad reputation after all.

"Tang...General, this subordinate understands!" Wang Changyu was stunned for a moment, with cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately replied.

Seeing that the other party finally called him by his position, Wang Changzhi nodded in relief, recognized his cousin who was promoted through the back door, and replied to him: "Shouchun City has a tall wall, and the hearts of the people are against the king. , but the casualties were too great."

"Then..." Although Wang Changyu is familiar with the art of war, he doesn't know how to apply it. When on the battlefield, he can only rush and attack, just like a low-profile version of Zhao Kuo.

"Surround three and one is missing, cut off the food, grass and water sources, and wait until the day when the people in the city eat each other, it will be the time for us to attack the city." Facing a big city like Shouchun, Wang Changzhi couldn't think of any other better way, so he could only use military tactics. The old method is to attack the city in a satisfactory manner.

This method of siege is very common. When facing the enemy and unite as one, you can only rely on the opponent's supplies to be exhausted. The probability of nine is that it can be shot down, and there is still a small chance of failure because of special circumstances, such as a meteor meteorite falling from the sky or something.

But Wang Changzhi believed that he would not be so unlucky, and brought a large army to attack the city, but unfortunately, he was hit by a meteorite.
