A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 165 The Bai family came out of the mountain, and the eight kings of the early Han Dynasty all made history
After Lu Ze and others came down the mountain, they immediately galloped towards Chang'an.

A few days later, they arrived in Chang'an and met Lv Zhi. They saw that Zhang Liang's plan was explained to her in detail. Lv Zhi was very happy to know that there was a way, and immediately went to the prince's palace and told him that he could do it for him. Please invite a Confucian sage who specializes in "Baizhuan".

Liu Ying was very happy. According to Lu Pheasant's instructions, she personally wrote a deeply affectionate letter asking for a teacher. If you want to ask why Liu Ying likes "Bai's Spring and Autumn" so much instead of "Guliang Chunqiu" taught by Shu Suntong, it's just because Bai Shi, when he annotated "Bai's Spring and Autumn" based on Confucius's "Spring and Autumn", made it for himself The book is positioned as the junior edition of "Spring and Autumn".

Because "Spring and Autumn" written by Confucius is too dry and difficult to understand, Master Bai used stories from Bai's collection to explain the thoughts advocated by Confucius side by side, in order to allow readers to read happily and master them. "Bai's Spring and Autumn", and then study "Spring and Autumn", you can get twice the result with half the effort. This is also the reason why "Bai's Spring and Autumn Annals" can occupy half of the Confucian school.

After getting Liu Ying's autograph letter, Brother Lu Ze rushed to Chaoge without stopping, met with Bai Gong, and handed Liu Ying's autograph letter.

In Chaoge, after Bai Qing received Brother Lu Ze, he handed the letter to Bai Jun. After Bai Jun read it, he asked, "How is it?"

Bai Jun smiled and said: "I think the prince Liu Ying has the style of being a public defender in the past, benevolent and filial without losing his independence."

Bai Qing said: "It seems that Liu Bang has given birth to a good son! Now that the world is in ruins, we need such a monarch. If in the past, after the death of Qin Shihuang in the Qin Dynasty, Fusu would be the one who ascended the throne, resting with the people, advocating Confucianism and suppressing Shang Yang’s legal studies are in good terms with me, the Bai family, and other nobles from the six countries, so maybe it’s a different situation.”

When Bai Jun met Liu Ying at that time, he was very fond of the prince who was curious about everything and treated others with sincerity and sincerity. Although he was only in his twenties, he might as well have the same feeling towards him as his younger brother, so He said to Bai Qing:

"That's why we have to avoid the old troubles of supporting the Soviet Union. If that Liu Ruyi comes to power, he will definitely be militaristic and repeat the chaos of Qin II. I'm afraid the Han Dynasty will follow the path of the Qin Dynasty! Now the barbarians in the north have returned to the Qin Dynasty. Unified, Zhuxia can no longer afford the price of civil strife, and they will definitely take advantage of it when the time comes."

Bai Qing nodded in agreement, then looked at Bai Jun and said with a smile: "Jun'er, you have now completed your studies at the school, and the children from each family have basically graduated. It just so happens that you will lead the team with the students from each family. Second generation ancestor, go to Chang’an to practice and practice!”

Bai Jun felt a little excited and said, "Yes, I promise not to worry my father!"

Bai Qing said: "If there is anything you can't decide, you can go to Su Li and ask him. He is mature and prudent and will definitely be a great help to you. In addition, be careful of Lu Pheasant. In the past, Confucius was in Nanzi, Weiguo." We have suffered a lot there, so we must not underestimate the woman. Her political vision is not bad. We must be cautious when dealing with her.

There is also Chen Ping. Although he is now on the expedition with Liu Bang, he will come back sooner or later. He is also a figure that should not be underestimated. Where is Xiao He? He is a peerless talent, rare to see in thousands of years.
The last one was Guan Zhong during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi. It will definitely be of great benefit to you to ask him for more advice on state governance. What you can learn from him is something you will never learn in schools and books. . ···”

Bai Jun listened intently to Bai Qing's description of the various interpersonal relationships in the central Han Dynasty, as well as the personalities and ways of getting along with various ministers and generals. This was of great benefit to him when he went to Chang'an. After all, this time was not like the last time. He just stayed for a few days to attend the funeral of the Supreme Emperor and then left.

The next day, Bai Qing summoned brother Lu Ze, agreed to the prince's request, and decided to send Bai Shizijun to Chang'an with a group of second-generation Bai clan marquises.

After the Lu Ze brothers heard this, they were very happy and thanked Bai Qing repeatedly. Bai Qing said that this was not necessary and expressed the hope that the Bai and Lu families could cooperate sincerely and jointly assist Liu Ying in governing the world. In his words, there was no mention of Emperor Han at all, as if Emperor Han had passed away.

July 25
Prince Bai Jun, carrying the convoy of Prince Xiuwu Prince Bai Yu and other Bai family princes, entered Chang'an City with great fanfare. After settling in, Bai Jun and others immediately went to pay homage to Queen Lu Pheasant. Lu Pheasant was very happy.

Immediately ordered the establishment of the Prince's Mansion near Changle Palace, mobilized three thousand soldiers and horses to serve as the Prince's personal guards, and then appointed Bai Jun as the Prince's Zhanshi, taking care of everything in the Prince's Mansion, and teaching the Prince part-time, and appointed Bai Yu as the Prince's commander. He also assisted Bai Jun in controlling the troops of the Prince's Mansion.

And Lu Ze went to Shangshan without stopping, and invited Shangshan Sihao to come out to assist the prince. When Shangshan Sihao heard that Prince Bai had become the official of the prince's palace, and knew that the current prince was a kind man, he agreed to go out and go to Chang'an.

Lu Pheasant treated the four people with great respect and placed them in the Prince's Mansion. Liu Ying was allowed to live in the Prince's Mansion out of the palace so that he could often consult them.

August
The Han army and Chen Xi's rebels are still at a stalemate in Dai County because Chen Xi sent Wang Huang to ask for help from the Huns. King Lu Wan of Yan followed Zhang Sheng's plan and secretly colluded with the Xiongnu when Chen Xi's request for help did not exist. People, let them enter Daijun from their own territory, so that Chen Xi can return to his glory.

Lu Wan's intention was to support the bandits in self-respect, and wanted Chen Xi to live in exile for a long time, causing continuous conflicts on the border to protect their power and lives.

The Han Emperor didn't know all this, so the battle with Chen Xi lasted for a year.

August

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty fell ill in the army and had to return to Chang'an for recuperation. In view of the obvious advantages at present, before leaving, he appointed Taiwei Zhou Bo as the chief general to destroy Chen Xi, leaving 500,000 troops and horses under his command, and he took two One hundred thousand Han troops returned.

September
King Yingbu of Huainan and Ben He, the middle-ranking official of the Huainan Kingdom, had a conflict over his love for his concubine and wanted to kill Ben He. Ben He took a post train to Chang'an to report Yingbu's rebellion. Yingbu sent people to chase him, but he failed to catch up. Ben He successfully arrived in Chang'an and sent a letter to Ying Bu who showed signs of rebellion and could kill him before the rebellion.

The Han Emperor read his report and discussed with Xiao He. Xiao He said: "Ying Bu should not have such a thing, I am afraid he is framed because of a grudge. Please imprison Ben He and send someone to secretly verify the king of Huainan." "

On the other side, Yingbu saw that Ben He had fled in fear of crime and successfully arrived in Chang'an. He had already suspected that Ben He would reveal his secret deployment. Now that the Han Emperor's envoys came again, after considering the pros and cons, he decisively launched an army to rebel. The first step He killed Ben He's entire family. When news of the Huainan King's rebellion reached Chang'an, the Han Emperor immediately released Ben He and made him a general, letting him serve as the vanguard of the army. After discussing with the officials, he decided to personally raise an army to crusade.

However, since Zhang Liang had already retired to seclusion and Chen Ping was far away in Dai County, he did not ask anyone for military advice. At this time, Xia Houying came to see the Han Emperor and said, "My retainer, Duke Xue, is originally from the Chu State." Ling Yin, this man is very strategic, your Majesty may ask him."

The Emperor of Han summoned Duke Xue and asked him in which direction Yingbu would attack? Duke Xue replied: "It is not surprising that Yingbu rebelled. If Yingbu had made a good plan, Shandong would no longer be owned by the King of Han; if he had made a middle plan, it was hard to say who would win; if he had made a bad plan, your Majesty would be able to rest in peace. No more worries.”

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty asked a little strangely: "What is the best policy? What is the middle policy? What is the worst policy?"

Duke Xue explained: "Capture Wu to the east, Chu to the west, then annex Qi, occupy Lu, and send a message telling Yan and Zhao to stick to their homeland, and Shandong will no longer belong to the King of Han." All in all, this is the best policy;
Go east to capture the Wu State, go west to capture the Chu State, then annex South Korea and occupy the Bai State, take possession of Ao Yu's grain, and blockade the main roads of Cheng Gao. It is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose. This is the middle strategy;

Go east to seize the state of Wu, go west to seize Xia Cai, move the baggage and treasure to the state of Yue, and then run to Changsha yourself, so that your majesty can sleep at ease. As for the big man, there is no big deal, so this is the next best thing. "

Emperor Han asked curiously: "Then which strategy do you think Yingbu will choose?"

Duke Xue smiled and said: "What a plan!"

The Han Emperor wondered: "Why? Yingbu has been in the world for more than ten years, but he doesn't have any strategy or vision?"

Duke Xue explained: "Your Majesty, you know that Yingbu was originally a prisoner of Lishan Mountain. He followed Zhang Han out of the border to pacify the princes, and then he became the Lord of Ten Thousand Chariots with his own efforts. This was all for his own wealth. And he never fails to take into account the current people or future generations, so he will choose the worst policy."

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was very happy and applauded him repeatedly. He conferred the title of Qianhuhou to Duke Xue on the spot and the title of Prince Liu Chang as the King of Huainan. He declared Yingbu a traitor. Regardless of his illness, he personally led the army to quell the rebellion. .

Originally, the Huainan army was very resistant to the rebellion, but Yingbu told them: "The Han Emperor is old and has begun to hate fighting. I heard that he has been sick recently, so he must not be able to lead the troops in person. If I come, I will definitely send generals, and the only generals who can compare with me are the Marquis of Huaiyin and Liang Wang Peng Yue. Now that they are both dead, what are the other generals to fear?"

When the generals heard that it seemed like this, they no longer worried. Seeing that the army's morale was determined, Yingbu decided to attack the country of Jing eastward. King Liu Jia of Jing was afraid and hurriedly gave up the feudal country and abandoned the army and fled. As a result, he died in Fuling.

The Jing army was leaderless, so Yingbu quickly hijacked them and led them eastward, crossing the Huaihe River to attack Chu. King Liu of Chu had no military connections, so he sent generals to lead the Chu army to fight against Yingbu.

A battle broke out between the two sides, Xu and Tong, and the Chu army divided into three groups, trying to use a clever strategy to rescue each other. Someone advised the Chu general: "Yingbu is a veteran general from the Chu-Han period. He is very good at fighting, and the people have always been afraid of him.

The Art of War says: "When princes fight the enemy in their own territory, once the soldiers are in danger, they will flee." 'Now the troops are divided into three groups. As long as they defeat one of our troops, the other two groups will be afraid that their relatives in their hometown will be harmed by Yingbo, and they will rush back home. How can they rescue each other! "

The Chu general did not listen to the advice. Sure enough, Yingbo defeated one of the armies, and the other two armies fled in all directions. After defeating the Chu army, the Huainan army's worries were solved. He also learned that the Han army was approaching the Huainan army, so Yingbo ordered the army to advance westward. They met the Han emperor's army at Huizhen, west of Qixian.

The two sides fought several small battles. As a result, Yingbu's army was very elite, and the Han army was defeated in every battle. The Han emperor had to hide in the Yongcheng barrier and could not hold on. When he saw Yingbu's formation, it was just like Xiang Yu's army. The Han emperor Very disgusted.

The war lasted until October. The Han Emperor continued to mobilize troops from various counties and counties to come to support. Seeing that the battle in the north was going smoothly, he mobilized some elite troops to join south and hid the reinforcements not far from Yongcheng. When it was almost over, the Han Emperor decided to fight with The decisive battle between Ying and Bu.

On this day, Emperor Han and Yingbu saw each other from a distance. Emperor Han said to Yingbu from a distance: "Why bother to rebel? Isn't it better to be a rich man?"

Yingbu said loudly: "You, Liu Ji, can be the emperor even as a child, why can't I, Yingbu?"

The Han emperor was furious and scolded him, and then the two armies fought. An hour later, reinforcements arrived and Yingbu's army was defeated. Yingbu hurriedly led the remaining army to escape and crossed the Huaihe River. They stopped and fought several times, but the results were not smooth. He fled to the south of the Yangtze River with more than a hundred people.

Yingbu was originally related to the magistrate of Fan County, so King Wu Hui of Changsha (grandson of Wu Rui) sent someone to trick Yingbu into fleeing with Yingbu, and tricked him into fleeing to Yue. Yingbu believed him and followed him. When I arrived in Fanyang, I found that a generation of heroes died in the houses of the people in Fanyangzi Township.

November

In Lingqiu to the north, Zhou Bo once again led his army to capture the main force of Chen Xi's army in Lingqiu. In this battle, Gongsun'er, the doctor under Fan Kuai's command, caught up with Chen Xi who was fleeing twenty miles north of Lingqiu and killed him. beheading.

At this point, the wars in the Han Dynasty were basically over, and the eight kings of different surnames who fought for the world with the Han Emperor in the early Han Dynasty were either killed, demoted, or died of old age, and all the forces that threatened the Liu family disappeared, and the rest These are some fresh diseases.
