Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Family Legend: Inheritance of Wentao and Wulue from Generation to Generation

Emperor Master Liu Bowen 度阴山 10719Words 2018-03-16
On June 15, 1311, the moon rose to the sky ahead of schedule, which was big and absurd.In China under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, everyone looked up and watched.But today, the moon has no interest anywhere in China.Its brightest brilliance first fell to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, then crossed mountains and ridges to reach Chuzhou Road, and then flowed to Qingtian County in a tactful and zigzagging manner. Liu Juan's house in Yangcun.Here, for the first time, it stops at the end of its journey.Because it is here that the most legendary Liu Bowen in Chinese history will be born. Except for the extraordinarily bright moonlight in the courtyard, Liu Bowen's birth scene was unremarkable.This is a taboo.Because the birth of a big man must be icing on the cake with fantasy things.Father Liu Jue didn't see the dragon in the sky, nor did he see the red light shining everywhere, nor did he see the gods descending to give off their children.

Fortunately, there are "post-event prophets" in the world, and it is because of them that Liu Bowen's birth was colorful. It is said that when Liu Juan's wife, Mrs. Fu, gave birth to her first child, Liu Shu, a Taoist priest broke into Liu's house.Without waiting for the owner's consent, he picked up Liu Shu, turned around and watched carefully for a long time.Ms. Fu's face changed drastically, and Liu Jue was about to step forward to argue with him, when the Taoist sighed and threw the child back into Ms. Fu's arms, like throwing a toy. "Your child is also average." After the Taoist finished speaking, he took out a book with rich pictures and texts from his bag, opened a page casually, pointed to the pictures on it and said to Liu Juan, "You should have another child."

Of course, Liu Juan is not a fuel-efficient lamp in metaphysics.He has studied Xiangwei since he was a child, and he can pass divination, feng shui, astrology, spiritual chess, and prophecy.In Wuyang Village, the people played down his identity as a teacher (teacher) in Suichang (now Suichang, Zhejiang Province) in the Yuan Dynasty, and regarded him as a half-immortal.In the eyes of the local people, Liu Jue is a figure who combines the favor of the Jade Emperor in the East and the Buddha in the West.Whoever lost the cow and ran away the chicken, as long as Liu Juan is willing to help, the cow and chicken will be lost and recovered within the time of his easy talking and laughing.

People tend to have confidence in their majors, and of course they believe that there are peers in the world besides themselves.The Taoist's sentence "You should have another child" touched him, and he asked the Taoist to sit up and ask the truth. The Taoist said that he was a top master in Feng Shui.A few days ago, he came to Nantian Mountain according to the guidance of the gods, and climbed to the highest peak of Nantian Mountain on a moonlit night.At that time, the birds returned to their nests, the worms went home to sleep, the beasts and poisonous snakes were quiet, and everything in Nantian Mountain was silent. He could hear the moonlight flowing in the mountains like water.

The Taoist also said that although the moonlight is there, it is not bright, so he caught a few fireflies and used their light to help him read.According to the book, the place where he lives, that is, near Nantian Mountain, will surely produce a great person who will shake the world in the next few years. The Taoist finally said that he washed his hands with moonlight, then burned incense and prayed devoutly, and sat in meditation.After meditating for a long time, the god told him the parents of the big man, so he came to the door. Liu Juan's heart moved with the Taoist's mysterious words, and he remembered something in a trance.

Liu Juan said: "When my parents passed away, I was heartbroken. Because I was too sad, I didn't do my best for the funeral. I just hurriedly found a place to bury the two elders. But after a few years, my sleep quality began to deteriorate. Sometimes I dream that my father is chasing me with a weapon, and sometimes my mother tears and says that the living environment is too bad. Based on my years of study in Feng Shui, I am convinced that the location of my parents’ grave is not an auspicious place. So , I thought of moving the grave for my parents.” Liu Juan took a sip of tea and continued, "I found an expert in this field. This Feng Shui master has been eating and drinking at my house for free for a month. I thought I was wrong. But suddenly one night, he suddenly Knock on my door, pull me up and run outside. It was also moonlight like water that day, and I could feel the moonlight seeping into my skin bit by bit, and bubbles formed in my bones. The Feng Shui master dragged me all the way, in the Suddenly stopped by the grassy lake on a hillside. He shouted like a madman, 'Shanlong!'”

Liu Juan said: "That was the scariest sound I've ever heard in the world. It was like the heart-piercing howl of an ancient behemoth after falling out of love. It shook the sky and the earth, the moon trembled in fright, and the earth rolled over." What happened later was like this: under the moonlight, Liu Jue saw the landslide and the ground crack, and the loess roll, and in an instant, a hill rose from the lake. This mountain was Nantian Mountain.Mr. Feng Shui said to Liu Jue: "Bury the remains of your father and mother here. There will be a prime minister in your family!"

Liu Juan recalled that he had never seen such a scene in half his life, and he was so frightened that he shit up.After a few days before regaining consciousness, I moved the graves of my father and mother to the place designated by the Feng Shui master. Liu Juan still vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, the Fengshui master said mysteriously in his ear: "Actually, Mr. Fengshui is just my cover-up. My real identity is a white crane. Not far away." Wanli came to you to find a place of good geomantic omen for your family." One thing to add is Chinese Feng Shui.Chinese Feng Shui is a trance subject. It applies the principles of Yi Xue to environmental geography. The impressive Feng Shui pattern is: East Qinglong, West White Tiger, South Suzaku, and North Xuanwu.These are the names of the four spirit beasts, especially in the choice of the yin house, the surrounding mountains must be able to correspond to these four beasts.The ancient emperors paid special attention to Feng Shui when they chose their yin houses.Feng Shui experts believe that burial should be done on land that is alive and cohesive.And the land where life gathers can only be found by specially trained Feng Shui experts.The basis they were looking for was that the mountains should correspond to the four beasts.

There are many mountains in China, but there are very few geomantic treasures.Therefore, once someone discovers such a treasured place of geomantic omen, it means that the merit accumulated in several lifetimes will be honored by the heavens.It is said that Han Xin is destined to live by drilling people's crotch and begging.But one day he eavesdropped on a feng shui expert's discussion about a treasured land, so he ran home in a hurry, dragged his frisky old lady to that treasured land, and buried her alive.As a result, Han Xin later became the army commander-in-chief of the Western Han Empire.Han Xin was later killed by Empress Lu. The folk saying is that this boy was too violating the way of heaven and buried his wife alive, so he received retribution.

The legend of Han Xin tells us that geomantic treasures are like fate, sometimes they must be there, and sometimes they must be there.If you really force it, you will die badly. Liu Juan didn't force it, but Baihe, a fairy-level figure, offered his hospitality on his own initiative, so there is no possibility of Han Xin's retribution. After listening to the legendary story told by Liu Jue, the Taoist nodded and said, "It's reliable, but it's not reliable." Liu Yuan asked the reason. The Taoist said: "Baihe is reliable in choosing a geomantic treasure for your family, but your family's prime minister has not yet seen the shape, you are now a child, ordinary and nothing special."

Liu Juan was very puzzled: "If my child is not the prime minister, then it means that Baihe's selection of a geomantic treasure is also a lie. The Baihe incident I experienced was a fantasy, or, I was dreaming." The Taoist said: "You are too anxious. Baihe said that your family had a prime minister, but he didn't say that it was your child. If you want to fulfill the prophecy, you must have another child." Liu Yuan suddenly realized. The Taoist said: "I'll go first and come back in a year. Hurry up and make a man." Liu Juan's wife, Ms. Fu, was very upbeat and soon became pregnant again.But twelve months later, there was still no sign of labor.Liu Juan was anxious and restless, and the Taoist priest arrived as scheduled.Liu Juan said, "It's been a year, and the child hasn't come out yet." The Taoist said, "It's not yet time." Liu Juan counted, "I'm pregnant for nine months, and it's been three months past the expiration date. How can I say that the time has not come yet?" ?” The Taoist said, “How can we use physiological laws to calculate what we do?” Liu Jue sighed, “I’m really not good enough.” The Taoist said, “When the moon is full, it’s the day of birth.” Liu Jue asked: "It was born at twelve months. This is a late birth. Is there any danger?" The Taoist said: "When giving birth, take three silver needles and pierce his nose." As the Taoist predicted, on June 10, 1311 Five, Liu Bowen was born.It is said that Liu Bowen was born with his eyes open, and when his umbilical cord was cut, he swung his wet head to identify the things in the room, and inspected everything within sight with a curious but not at a loss attitude. Ms. Fu found that the child stopped paying attention to the room after observing it for a while, and turned his head out of the window, staring intently at the moon, as if he could see the fairy Chang'e and the white rabbit on the moon.Liu Juan was not surprised by the child's strange behavior, he took out three silver needles and plunged them into the child's nose, and Liu Bowen cried "wow".Liu Jue said happily, "Taoist priests are really gods and men." In fact, if you stab three needles in the nose of an adult, the adult will cry out in pain.Liu Juan believed that this child was the one who fulfilled the destiny and laid the foundation for wealth and honor for his family, so he named him Liu Ji and the word Bowen.So far, a beautiful legendary story has ended on the surface, but in fact, when we traced back to the source, we found that it has just begun. Tracing other people's ancestors and digging other people's ancestral graves lead to the same goal, both of which hope to obtain the information and wealth of other people's ancestors.One difference is that tracing other people's ancestors is to obtain spiritual wealth in the form of genetic codes, while digging other people's ancestral graves is purely for material wealth. Obtaining the genetic code of the Liu Bowen family is not that difficult.We can easily trace back to his eleventh ancestor Liu Huaizhong in the annals of history, but this is also the limit, and we can no longer trace back upwards.From Liu Huaizhong, the eleventh patriarch, to Liu Guangshi, the seventh patriarch, is the era of "passing the family through martial arts" of the Liu Bowen family. Many years later, Liu Bowen still clearly remembers the scene of his father unfolding the family tree in front of him that spring afternoon.The family tree glowed yellow, reflecting on his father's solemn and proud face. Liu Jian didn’t go straight to the point, but started with an opening statement: “The ancestors of our old Liu family were from Fengpei. Do you know whose hometown is Fengpei? It’s the hometown of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and our surname also happens to be Liu. So, We must have a relationship with Han Gaozu." Liu Bowen bypassed his father Liu Ju's glowing eyes to look at the family tree, and there was no name "Liu Bang" on the family tree.Liu Bowen came to look for Liu Juan's eyes again, hoping he could give an explanation. Liu Jian noticed Liu Bowen's eyes waiting for him to answer his doubts, and explained: "This is normal. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more than a thousand years of troubled times in the Three Kingdoms, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. How many days of peaceful life? Therefore, our family tree was blank before the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Northern Song Dynasty, great figures in our family have sprung up like mushrooms after rain." He pointed to a name: "This is Liu Huaizhong, your eleventh ancestor. That is a person who is famous in history." Father Liu did not lie. Liu Huaizhong served as a senior military officer on the defense line in the west of the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Xixia War started, Liu Huaizhong was the main combatant and died in a battle with Xixia.Liu Bowen's tenth and ninth ancestors both served as senior military officers on the western defense line of the Northern Song Dynasty and withstood the test of long-term war. Liu Bowen's eighth patriarch, Liu Yanqing, and the seventh patriarch, Liu Guangshi, raised the family honor a lot.Liu Yanqing's highest position was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Song Cavalry Corps (Deputy Commander of the Horse Army), and he followed the Northern Song eunuch Tong Guan to wipe out Fangla's anti-government forces.During the disaster of Jingkang, Liu Yanqing was ordered to defend Kaifeng. After the city was captured by Jin soldiers, Liu Yanqing became a hero.Liu Guangshi's life was quite good. After the disaster of Jingkang, Zhao Jian of the Zhao Song royal family established the Southern Song Dynasty regime. Liu Guangshi followed Zhao Gou to cross the Yangtze River in the south. However, after Liu Guangshi, Liu Bowen's ancestors never showed their faces on the battlefield again, and the halo of honor became increasingly dim.The sixth patriarch Liu Yaoren was just a governor, but he can be regarded as a turning point in the family tree of the Liu family. After him, the descendants of the Liu surname abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and became disciples of Confucianism from Jiangmen Huzi.He changed his career but did not change his circumstances. The situation of the Liu family members is still deteriorating. In the generation of Liu Bowen's father, he can only be a schoolteacher in the county. After reading the family tree, Liu Bowen felt a little depressed.His father encouraged the child: "On the surface, our family is not as good as one generation after another, but things will be reversed. One day, there will be a "three immortals" in our family, and maybe it will come true for you." Liu Bowen asked: "Do you have any scientific basis?" Of course, Mr. Liu has no scientific basis. What he has is business judgment. It was a dream.The owner of the dream is Liu Ji, the fifth ancestor of Liu Bowen.Liu Ji had no job at that time and lived in Chuzhou.Since I don’t have a job, I study Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams every day. Suddenly, one day I realize the mystery of the world and human affairs. I think that it is difficult to find a big person in the place where I live, so I decide to move. However, where to move, this requires Liu Ji's divination.He first tried divination by himself, but he was not good at learning and couldn't succeed, so he went to the mountain temple to kowtow and burn incense.The mountain god was very busy at the time, and did not receive Liu Ji's prayer until night, so he sent him a dream.Liu Ji dreamed that he was holding a sheep's head, and his hair was disheveled, dancing on the mountain.After waking up, he thought about it for a long time, thinking that this dream was closely related to the place where he was going to migrate.However, the thinking of gods is supernatural, and the information given to human beings is always illusory and dreamy, which makes people puzzled.Liu Ji spent sleepless nights thinking about the place indicated by the dream. One day, he came to Wuyang Village in Nantian Mountain and asked the locals for the name of the place, and they told him.As if a thunderbolt from the blue, Liu Ji woke up and suddenly realized that he was dancing with a sheep's head in his dream, it was Wuyang (dancing sheep)!In this way, the whole family moved to Wuyang. This miraculous past is too illusory, although it can arouse Liu Bowen's interest, but it can't make Liu Bowen proud, let alone make him believe that there will be a great person in the family in the future.He hoped that his father could tell a real event that happened in the family history, so as to prove that the Liu family was not a family pretending to be a ghost, and to establish his family pride. After listening to Liu Bowen's question, Father Liu suddenly remembered something.This incident is enough to prove that the Liu family is not only a person with high IQ, but also a person with high EQ. The protagonist of this incident is Liu Hao, the son of Liu Ji who moved by dream, that is, Liu Bowen's great-grandfather.Liu Hao used to be a small civil servant in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, it was the era when Kublai Khan called the wind and the rain.After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Hao was forced to return to his hometown, sighing and sighing every day, worrying about the country and the people.But when the country was destroyed, he could only worry about the people.It is said that whenever there is heavy rain or snowstorm, Liu Hao will climb up to see if anyone is suffering in the rain and snow.If you see that the chimney on the roof of someone's house is not working, send someone to deliver food. In a certain year, there was a man named Lin Rong in Qingtian County, who used to be the president of the local court, the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate, and the warden of the prison in the former government. Under the slogan of reviving the Song Dynasty, they gathered a crowd to rebel, and the Yuan army sent troops to crusade, and it was easy to put Lin Rong in a prison car and arrested the capital.Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, realized his conscience at that time and released Lin Rong.Unexpectedly, Lin Rong was so stubborn that he rebelled after washing off his bad luck after returning home.Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was furious and said: "This southern barbarian is annoying, so I just took this opportunity to kill a few more." After quickly destroying Lin Rong, he immediately sent a working group to investigate the list of rebels.The local tyrants and evil gentry in Qingtian County had feuds with many common people on a daily basis. Taking this opportunity, they unscrupulously reported innocent people. As a result, few good people were missed, and almost all of them became the targets of Yuan government's search and arrest, implicating as many as 10,000 people.The working group of the Yuan government took the list and happily returned to Dadu (now Beijing) to return to the order.When passing by Wuyang Village, Liu Hao knew about it. He quickly seized the opportunity, took the Yuan government working group home, drank a big bowl of wine and ate meat with a big piece.When these people were drunk, Liu Hao put them in another room, stole the list from them, copied out more than 200 names, and then burned the list.Finally, a fire was lit and the newly renovated eating house was burned clean. The next day, the working group found that the list was missing, and they were in a panic.Liu Hao said: "This is really unfortunate for the family. The fire broke out for no reason. I guess your list has been burned to ashes." The more relaxed Liu Hao said, the more fearful the people in the working group became.Because losing the list is no different than losing the head.Seeing that these people were about to pee their pants soon, Liu Hao said, "This fire may be God's will. Is there someone on the list who has been wronged and God has come to rescue them? Don't panic, I'm sorry." I am very familiar with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I can make a list for you, but there are only more than 200 people." The working group had no choice, took a look at the list, and seemed to have a little impression that they were all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they returned to Dadu in fear. There is no follow-up to this story. Maybe after Kublai Khan saw the list, he thought the number was too small and left it alone.Or it may be that Kublai Khan ordered the names on the list to be erased from the world without even looking at the list. In any case, Liu Hao saved thousands of lives with a few jars of wine and a dilapidated house, which undoubtedly met the requirements of "benevolence".Wanting to save other people's lives is high EQ, and saving other people's lives is high IQ. Liu Bowen was very excited after hearing this touching story.The glorious image of his ancestors suddenly grew taller, he straightened his back, and secretly swore to his ancestors that he would be a person who honored his ancestors and had a great reputation. Standing on Nantian Mountain and looking into the distance, what Liu Bowen and his father Liu Jue overlooked was Nantian Mountain and the mountains outside the mountain.Liu Juan pointed to the northeast and told Liu Bowen that if he kept walking, he would reach Qingtian County in one hundred and fifty miles.If you run along the mountains, you can reach Qingtian Mountain, one of the top ten caves.Liu Jian stretched out another finger, pointed at his feet, and told Liu Bowen that Nantian Mountain was not a vegetarian either, and it was ranked seventh on the list of 72 blessed places. Liu Bowen asked, "What are caves and blessed places?" Liu Jian explained: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a top Taoist priest named Du Guangting occasionally obtained a heavenly book, which was actually a geography textbook for immortals. It said that there are ten caves in the world, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed places. Great figures often appear in places. For example, Zhongnan Mountain, where the Taishang Laojun lived for a long time before he found a job in heaven. For example, Shangshan, where four old people who have forgotten their age lived, called Shangshan Sihao. Han Gaozu Liu Bang wanted to abolish the prince for a while, Zhang Liang invited these four old men out, Liu Bang was so frightened by the reputation and magical power of these four old men that he turned pale with fright, and swore that there was no such thing as abolishing the prince. Another example is Mount Emei, it is said that there are many immortals living in the mountain, and if you encounter them in the great fortune, you can get the elixir of life." Liu Bowen said: "Excuse me, father, what great people have come out of Nantian Mountain?" Liu Jue stroked Liu Bowen's head and murmured, "Hurry up, hurry up!" From Liu Bowen's clear black and white eyes, it can be seen that Nantian Mountain is such a mountain: it is deep in the mountains, and suddenly a platform rises from the ground, far higher than the surrounding mountains.The mountain of the platform, high and wide, with picturesque scenery, is the legendary paradise in human history. Liu Juan and Liu Bowen stood on the highest peak of Nantian Mountain, and Wuyang Village looked small and lovely.The chimneys of every house smoked at the same time, and the lights of every house went on and off at the same time.There is as much moonlight in each courtyard, and the people in each courtyard are equally humble and courteous, bowing and bowing in the same way. Liu Bowen suddenly asked Liu Jue: "Father, why is my grandfather Liu Tinghuai a legend?" Liu Juan was forgetting himself in the scenery, when Liu Bowen asked him, he realized that he had missed an ancestor.After searching for a long time, I slowly said: "Your grandfather is my grand master of the Yuan Dynasty." Of course, Liu Bowen didn't know what "Taixue Shangshe" was, so he asked: "Compared with my seventh generation ancestor's "Taixue Shangshe", "Walking in the capital patrol envoy, walking in the five military system, setting envoys, and in front of the palace?" Commander Du, Taiwei, Chancellor Shao Fu, and Chancellor Taibao', which one is more powerful?" Liu Jian became excited: "Of course it's the titles of your seventh generation ancestors. Your grandfather, the Taixue Shangshe, is a title that can be an official without taking an exam, which is equivalent to recommending students. This is the Sanshe founded by Wang Anshi during the Northern Song Dynasty. The so-called Sanshe method was to divide the students of the National University at that time into three classes, with 2,000 students in the outer dormitory, 300 students in the inner dormitory, and 100 students in the upper dormitory. Participate in the general examination hosted by the emperor, and the students of Shangshe do not need to participate in any examinations, and directly become officials." Liu Bowen became puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't my grandfather become an official?" Liu Jian sighed and said, "It's unlucky. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty didn't know what to do. Every year, he only took two people from the 100 people in Shangshe. There were too many monks and too little porridge. Your grandfather was unlucky, so he ran back. And this group of Mongolians People don't hold imperial examinations, your grandfather is really a hero and has no use for him." After Liu Jue finished speaking, he suddenly realized that such negative ideas cannot be passed on to his children, so he immediately changed the subject and asked Liu Bowen, "Do you know why I am sure that great people will emerge from Nantian Mountain?" Liu Bowen said: "Because father, you can pinch and count." Liu Juan shook his head: "It's God's will to count as much as a man has a thousand counts." So, he told Liu Bowen the story of the Taoist priest, and the story of moving his parents' graves, and then synthesized the stories of the Taoist geography textbooks, and finally concluded: "This is the right time and place, and there is a 'human harmony' .” He asked Liu Bowen: "What do you think of the ancestors of our Liu family?" Liu Bowen said: "According to your explanation, I think it is very good." He asked again, "Do you know who your mother's ancestors were?" Liu Bowen didn't know. Liu Juan said: "It's a long story. I have to popularize a piece of history for you." The beginning of this period of history is like this: In the first year of Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Yu's tenure (762), due to the Anshi Rebellion, there was no chance to collect taxes in the Jianghuai area. After Li Yu sat on the dragon chair, he thought that the world was stable—— ——In fact, the world is still not stable, and the Anshi Rebellion caused by the warlords An Lushan and Shi Siming will not end until next year—so they hurriedly pursued the taxes of the people in the Jianghuai area for eight years. As you know, the people in Jianghuai do not have much surplus food.As a result, the relationship between the government and the people became tense.Li Yu sat in the city of Chang'an, eating and drinking, and didn't know the difficulties of the people at all, so when he got the news of the people's non-cooperation, Long Yan was furious and ordered all places to pursue it with arms. This armed pursuit annoyed one person, and that person was Yuan Chao, a non-official employee (subordinate) of the Taizhou government.Yuan Chao has been in the government for many years, and he is well versed in the obvious and hidden rules of the government's search for people's wealth.He first dissuaded the local governor with good words. Once the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the north, the Jianghuai region in the south became the central government's material supply base.On the surface, the government has not collected taxes from the people of Jianghuai in the past eight years, but the materials and resources of Jianghuai have been continuously shipped to the north. These materials are all seized by the government from the people of Jianghuai.Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, the people of Jianghuai are saving money for that son-of-a-bitch emperor in Chang'an City. Many people are eagerly waiting for rewards after the Anshi Rebellion is quelled.It is also possible to collect taxes, but first please ask the central government to check the property looted in the name of the War of Resistance over the past eight years, and refund more and make up for less. Local government officials also imitated Li Yu in Chang'an City, their faces changed, and they fired Yuan Chao in anger.Yuan Chao thinks this is the first insurmountable difficulty he has encountered since he joined the work, because he met the biggest villain in the world - the emperor and his government.Probably out of a benevolent heart of compassion, he went to Wengshan (now Zhoushan Island, Zhejiang Province) to promote revolutionary ideas on the streets.Soon, a group of people who were poorly clothed and had no food to eat, and who were being taxed by the government gathered around him.Yuan Chao said: "Since the current government has brought us all disasters, then we should build a government that can bring us happiness." This impromptu force used farm tools as weapons and captured Taizhou (now Linhai, Zhejiang) with lightning speed.Then, like a storm, it swept through Qu, Wen, Wu, Ming, Yue, Xin, Hangzhou, Su, Chang and other ten states in the east of the Yangtze River.Yuan Chao's troops experienced a shocking fission in the process of attacking the city, from a few thousand to two hundred thousand.An army of 200,000 was an astronomical figure in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and Yuan Chao proclaimed himself emperor in Taizhou with this chaotic army.Sitting on a second-hand dragon chair, he said, "This is really what everyone expects!" Yuan Chao was in high spirits at that time, and for a while he really wanted to lead his troops northward and take Chang'an City directly.But someone reminded him that he must always discover his shortcomings and not be dazzled by victory.We should have a judgment, are the series of victories really achieved by our own strength?The government forces on the Jianghuai side were busy chasing taxes, and we happened to take advantage of a loophole.Look at our troops, and those who go to war with picks and sickles.That thing is only suitable for making contributions in the crop field, and it is all free on the battlefield.We are really going to meet the central government army, life and death are uncertain. Yuan Chao was noncommittal to these words, but soon, he and his troops faced a severe test. After the emperor Li Yu heard the news of Yuan Chao's revolution in Chang'an City, his seven orifices were full of smoke, and he immediately ordered Li Guangbi, a general who performed extremely well during the Anshi Rebellion, to go to the Jianghuai battlefield to suppress the rebellion. The Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty gave birth to countless heroes on the battlefield, such as Guo Ziyi who regained Chang'an City and Luoyang City, Zhang Xun who defended Suiyang City to the death, Pu Gu Huai'en with outstanding military exploits, and Li Guangbi.But Li Guangbi is definitely the proud son of the proud son, the king of kings on the battlefield.Every time the Anshi rebels heard that their opponent was Li Guangbi on the battlefield, they immediately lost their minds.Because Li Guangbi never plays cards according to the rules, he is good at raid warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, ambush warfare, siege warfare, blitz warfare, and mare warfare. Regarding mare warfare, because it was unheard of in the later war history, it is necessary to add the following: Shi Siming once set up camp on the south bank of the Yellow River to defend the Central Army from crossing the Yellow River.Li Guangbi was in the north of the Yellow River and confronted Shi Siming. Li Guangbi's troops were weak, so he didn't dare to attack, while Shi Siming's task was to defend, not attack.Since the two parties could not compete on the battlefield, they had to frighten each other.Just like countries with nuclear weapons today, taking out nuclear weapons makes you tremble all over, and you dare not do it first. In the era of cold weapons, war horses are the most modern weapons, and a war horse is a tank. Whoever has a strong horse and an advanced tank can make the opponent sweat.Therefore, Shi Siming asked the soldiers to take their horses to the river to take a bath every day.The war horses of An Lushan and Shi Siming are all male horses. These male horses were all bred on the northern prairie. Standing with Li Guangbi's war horses from the Central Plains, the Central Plains war horses became pets. Li Guangbi's soldiers looked at the opponent's horses bathing in the river, and looked at the pet horses around them, shaking their heads and sighing that this battle cannot be fought.Li Guangbi said: "If you can't beat his weapon, you can make his weapon disappear out of thin air." Everyone thought this was unrealistic, so Li Guangbi said: "Buy all the mares in the area under our control. Remember, they are horses that have just become mothers." A large herd of mares was driven to the bank of the Yellow River, whimpering and crying because they had just been taken away from their children.Shi Siming's group of strong horses who were taking a bath heard the sound from the other side of the river, and all looked over.Woohoo, a group of family-style young women are releasing beautiful sadness there.The fierce horses became restless, first turned around a few times, and then shot out like arrows off the string.Li Guangbi's soldiers saw tens of thousands of horses galloping, and they created huge waves in the Yellow River. After a while, Shi Siming's fierce horses became Li Guangbi's door-to-door son-in-law. Just as Shi Siming was racking his brains to figure out why his horse betrayed him, Li Guangbi used his opponent's horse to attack his opponent.Shi Siming fled without a fight. This is the Mare War, a glimpse that cannot be replicated. In the Spring Festival of 763, Li Guangbi entered Jianghuai with his battle-tested and bloody regiment.Yuan Chao had never heard of Li Guangbi. Li Guangbi's prestige was in the north, and the southerners didn't even know that there was such a person as Li Guangbi.The prestige accumulated by Yuan Chao in the previous battles made him forget his own military ability and the combat ability of his army. He actually took the initiative to attack, and that's what Li Guangbi was waiting for. First, he put the large army in front of him to fight, and then separated two mobile troops to lie in ambush on Yuan Chao's retreat.After only a few minutes of fighting, Yuan Chao realized that the opponent's corps was indeed not in vain, so he retreated immediately. As a result, he was ambushed by the opponent's two mobile troops on the way, causing heavy casualties.It's called an ambush. Yuan Chao withdrew into Taizhou City, hung up the exemption card, and refused to fight even if he died.Li Guangbi surrounded the city of Taizhou with impenetrable water, sent people to cut off the water source of Taizhou city, fired rockets into the city indiscriminately, and burned the opponent's food and grass.This is called siege warfare. Yuan Chao couldn't take it anymore in Taizhou City, because the food and grass were running out, and his already unstable military morale was faltering.When he was concentrating on making a breakout plan, one night, a tiankeng suddenly appeared in the center of Taizhou city.The night watchmen managed to stone back the heads that emerged from the sinkholes, and there were reports that the end of the world might be coming, because there were sinkholes all over the city.Yuan Chao didn't know that this was one of the tactics that Li Guangbi was good at, called tunnel warfare. Yuan Chao didn't have time to formulate a comprehensive breakout plan, hastily divided the troops into four parts, and broke out from the four city gates at the same time.Before leaving, Yuan Chao encouraged his soldiers: "Show out the vigor that you used to flatten the ten states in the east of the Yangtze River, fight out, and see the light of day again!" People will explode with astonishing power in a desperate situation. Yuan Chao's 200,000 soldiers rushed out from the four city gates, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Li Guangbi's siege corps was a bit overwhelmed. Li Guangbi ordered to retreat first and then concentrate. After finding Yuan Chao's breakout corps, he spared the other three groups and pursued Yuan Chao like a cat chasing a mouse. Yuan Chao was furious and ordered to stop the retreat, and the rear team changed to the front team to face Li Guangbi.Li Guangbi ordered an attack across the board, Yuan Chao was defeated and fled in a panic.Li Guangbi chased after him, and Yuan Chao retreated to Shilei Village (now Guanling, Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province). There was nowhere to escape.Li Guangbi faced the battle, Yuan Chao was defeated again and trapped in Shilei Village.Li Guangbi repeated his old trick, enclosing Shilei Village so that even a fly could not fly out.Yuan Chao's troops had no food, so they had to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger.After the war horses were killed, Yuan Chao sent out small groups of troops one after another to find food, but Li Guangbi waited for them to annihilate them one by one.Yuan Chao was forced to make a final sprint. He divided his troops into four teams and took turns to attack.But Li Guangbi's battle line was like a fortress of copper and iron, and he remained motionless.Yuan Chaoqian was so poor that he put all his eggs in one basket and personally selected the Death Squad for the last breakout.Before breaking out, Yuan Chao said to his non-death squad members: "If the other party accepts surrender, you surrender. I can cut my head off, and I will never surrender." The breakout he personally led failed quickly, and he himself was rescued by Li Guangbi's soldiers when he was about to wipe his neck with a knife.It's not really for saving him, but for him to live and go to Chang'an to receive a reward. Yuan Chao was later executed in Chang'an, and his armed resistance was called "Yuan Chao's Rebellion". After Liu Jue finished talking about this period of history, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sigh: "It is an eternal truth that the government forces the people to rebel." Liu Bowen thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Does this matter have anything to do with my mother's ancestors?" Liu Juan said sternly: "Of course it has something to do with it. Your mother's ancestor, Fu Tao, was the governor of Songzhou in Sichuan (the governor of Songzhou) at that time. It was because of Yuan Chao's rebellion that his family came to Nantian Mountain. A person from your mother's family It is equal to our Liu family. Fu Tao’s son, Fu Chuqian, was an official in Henan and was named the Duke of Lu by the royal family; Fu Lingxun, the son of Fu Chuqian, was named the Duke of South Korea; In particular, Fu Bi, the son of Fu Yan, paid homage to the Prime Minister twice. This old Mr. Fu Bi was a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the relationship between the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty was very tense, which was properly resolved by this old man through foreign policy. .Your mother is the granddaughter of Mr. Fu Bi's seventh grandson, Fu Yinggao." Liu Bowen understood very clearly that the reason why Nantian Mountain is a treasured place of geomantic omen probably has a lot to do with the fact that the Fu family lived again and produced a basket of great figures. But Liu Jue told Liu Bowen: "You have the time of day, and many mysterious stories can prove it. You also have the right location. Nantian Mountain is one of the blessed places, where great people come out. This is the center of the universe, where the sun rises.起的地方。人和,你也有了,你父亲我和你母亲都是高智商家族出来的,你得了我们的真传,不必担忧头脑不够用。但天时地利人和,只是外部条件。外部条件即使再优越,倘若你自己不努力,终将无法成事。我跟你说的祖宗那些震耳欲聋的业绩,可能有点夸大,但我的目的很简单,只是希望给你信心,要你知道自己不同凡响。所以,我现在要求你,必须要发挥你的主观能动性,好好学习,充实自己的头脑,将来为祖国贡献你力量的同时,也就为家族增光添色了。” 但刘伯温说:“老爹啊,听你的意思,为家族争光必要为祖国贡献力量,倘若不做官,如何贡献力量?可是咱们汉人生活在蒙人的统治下,连科举考试都没有,叫我如何去做官,我这命可有点苦。” 刘爚正色道:“胡说,上有天下有地,中有圣明天子,你怎么可以叫苦。你等着吧,科举考试是大势所趋,总有一天会卷土重来。” 父子二人对话完毕,夕阳已西下,但在刘伯温心中,却有一轮灼热的太阳在地平线后面喷薄欲出。 天上的刘氏家族成员的眼睛都聚焦在刘伯温身上,因为沉默孤独了百年的刘家,太需要世上出现一个风光八面的刘家人了。刘伯温是他们的希望,也是历史的希望。
