Chapter 50 war is coming

This open letter from the king of Wu, Liu Bi, clearly stated his strategic deployment, reward measures, and arrangements for the vassal states. The content of the letter is as follows: Greetings from King Wang, King Jinan, King Zhao, King Chu, King Huainan, King Hengshan, King Lujiang, and the sons of the late King Changsha, thank you for telling me: "Now the treacherous ministers in the court are making trouble, but his own morality is corrupted. Instigated the emperor to invade the territories of our vassal states; he sent people to interrogate our envoys sent to the central government, insulted us all day long, but he was still complacent; he never treated our Liu clan according to the etiquette of receiving the lord of one party Dear; he abandoned the meritorious officials of the late emperor, and specially used some treacherous officials to disturb people's hearts and harm the country. This bastard is Chao Cuo. The emperor is weak and sick, and his mind is unconscious, so he was blinded by Chao Cuo. Now we want to fight against Chao Cuo.'

"I am willing to follow your teachings. Although our country of Wu has a small territory, it is three thousand miles long. Although our population is small, we can at least get half a million soldiers. I have been in close contact with the Nanyue Kingdom for 30 years. Now their king and the chiefs of the counties don’t even refuse, and they firmly express their willingness to send troops to help me. In this way, I can attract another 300,000 people. I have no virtue and incompetence, but I am willing to lead the army to follow behind you . "The Kingdom of Nanyue and the Kingdom of Changsha are connected together. You can first follow the prince of Changsha to pacify the area north of Changsha, and then go west to attack Shu County and Hanzhong. King Dongyue, King Chu, and King Huainan, you and I will join forces and march westward. In addition, the princes of Qidi troubled the brothers and King Zhao to set up Hejian County in the north and attack Hanoi County in the west, and then either entered Guanzhong from Linjin Pass (in the east of Dali, Shaanxi Province today), or fought with King Zhao. I joined forces in Luoyang. King Yan and King Zhao already had a good relationship with the Huns. King Yan could first capture Dai County and Yunzhong County in the north, and then lead the Huns from Xiaoguan to Chang'an.

"Brothers, you have to be clear. We are doing this to correct the mistakes of the emperor and let the soul of the ancestor rest in peace. We are the teachers of justice, not the rebels. I hope everyone will do a good job of ideological education for the soldiers. Let us Work together, we must help the great Han! "Liu Wu, Liu An, Liu Bo, and Liu Ci haven't bothered to wash their hair and take a bath for more than ten years. The imperial court bullied them too much, and they hated them so much that they wanted to vent their anger a long time ago. You haven't agreed to the matter of raising troops, so they have not been allowed to take any action. Ladies and gentlemen, what we have to do is to preserve and restore those vassal states that are about to perish or have already perished, so that those weak vassal states can take revenge Let our old Liu family be safe and sound. This is definitely the common expectation of the people of the world. Although our country of Wu is poor, but in order to support justice, I have been saving food and money, accumulating food and stationing troops for more than 30 years. I do this , just for your convenience.

"I have decided that anyone who can kill or capture a general of the government army will be rewarded with five thousand gold and ten thousand households will be sealed; Those who kill or capture government officials with more than 2,000 shi will be rewarded with 1,000 jin, and 1,000 households will be sealed; those who kill or capture officials with a thousand shi will be rewarded with 500 jin of gold, and 500 households will be sealed. .In addition, these people will be named Liehou. "For those who surrender with troops or surrender cities, those who bring ten thousand soldiers to surrender or surrender ten thousand households are treated the same as those who capture generals; those who bring five thousand soldiers to surrender or surrender five thousand households Those who bring 3,000 soldiers to surrender or hand over 3,000 households are treated the same as those who capture Bo; The small officials who came to surrender received rewards according to their ranks. Other rewards were twice as much as usual. As for those who already had titles and fiefdoms, they would be rewarded separately, and they should not be confused.

"I hope that all the princes and kings will pass on the words to the soldiers and brothers below. I will never lie to them. There are money houses in Wu country all over the world, and there is cash available at any time. It is guaranteed to be too much for you to spend. Who should be punished? As for the reward, I will immediately send him the reward and the letter of commendation, absolutely unambiguous. Keep this as a photo." The Wu-Chu Allied Forces began to march westward. It's time for the imperial court to do something about it. Wu Jun's side is blatantly making strategic deployments, and they have become so arrogant. If the central government doesn't take action, it will be really a coward.Sending troops is inevitable, the question is who will lead the troops?Liu Qi's mind suddenly thought of the scene of his father's deathbed——

The old Liu Heng took his son's hand and said tremblingly: "Son, if the country encounters any unexpected situation in the future, Zhou Yafu is a person who can be trusted. Your father and I have observed it. Hand over the army to him, and the world can be settled." Liu Qi nodded, and appointed Zhou Yafu as the chariot general at the beginning of his accession to the throne. Now is the time of national crisis!Zhou Yafu is the sword in Liu Qi's hand. This sword has been hidden in the snow for many years, and it's time to unsheath it.That's right, Zhou Yafu, the brightest general of Emperor Jing's dynasty, was born at this moment.

The position of Taiwei has not been heard of for a long time. In the third year of Emperor Wen's reign, Guan Ying was the prime minister. The power of Taiwei was merged with that of the prime minister.However, at this time, the name of "Taiwei" will come to the court of the Han Empire again-Liu Qi promoted Tiaohou Zhou Yafu from lieutenant to Taiwei, and the soldiers and horses of the world will be in his hands from then on. Before sending troops, Zhou Yafu made a request to Liu Qi. He said: "The army in Chu is more aggressive and brutal in fighting. We can't fight them head-on. After thinking about it, I might have to make Liang Guo suffer a little bit. I plan to expose the Liang Kingdom to the enemy and allow the enemy to attack, so as to consume the enemy's strength and vigor. Then I will lead the army to take the back road and cut off the enemy's food road, so that it is possible to defeat the rebel army."

Zhou Yafu's idea was very good, and it coincided with Liu Heng's purpose of setting up Liang Guo and letting his son Liu Wu rule it.But at the same time, let the enemy's forces concentrate on the front line of Liang Guo. If Liang Guo is broken by the enemy, Chang'an will not be far from Wu Chu's army, so this move is also risky. Although Zhou Yafu was an unborn general, but after all, he could not support himself alone, so Liu Qi found Dou Ying again.The reason why Liu Qi chose Dou Ying as the general was really because there was no one more talented than Dou Ying among the living Liu family and Dou family at that time.Dou Ying entered the palace and listened to Liu Qi's explanation of his intentions. At first, she shirked it on the grounds that she was sick.Dou Ying had previously offended the Queen Mother Dou's favorite young son Liang Wang Liu Wu, so she was hated by the Queen Mother Dou. At this time, when the country was in crisis, Dou Yifang also knew that he was wronged, and expressed his remorse in front of his nephew.Liu Qi persuaded again: "Yuan Sun (Dou Ying's character Yuan Sun), now that the country is in crisis, why do you have the nerve to refuse?"

Seeing that her aunt and cousin showed sincerity, Dou Ying sincerely accepted the position of general, and recommended to Liu Qi a large number of officials and good generals who were at home at this time, such as Yuan An and Luan Bu. Liu Qi gave Dou Ying a thousand pieces of gold. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he took out the rewarded gold and placed it neatly in the corridor of the living room, so that his officers who needed money could just get it. Not hidden. Liu Qi finally followed Dou Ying's suggestion and recalled all the people he recommended to the court one by one.When deploying the battle situation, Liu Qi sent Li Ji, who had inherited the title of Marquis of Qu Zhou, to attack Zhao; he sent Luan Bu, the former subordinate of Peng Yue, the founding hero, to attack the four rebellious states in Qi; Regulate the Luan Bu Department and the Li Shang Department.

To sum up, to sort out the whole battle situation, the military deployment of Han and Wu is as follows: Zhou Yafu’s troops and Liang’s army fought against Wu’s and Chu’s coalition forces; Li Ji’s troops fought against Zhao Wang’s Liu Sui’s army; The Allied Forces of the Suchuan Kingdom. The two sides are at war with each other, and the flames of war are about to ignite.However, the lens of history then shifted to a place far from the battlefield.That's right, everyone remembers that when Liu Bi raised his troops, he always kept one person in three words - Chao Cuo, Liu Bi wanted to kill Chao Cuo!What about Chao Cuo?

When the dark clouds were about to completely cover the sky of the Han Empire, a bolt of lightning struck down, dripping with blood, and there was a dead body on Chang'an's East Market. Turning the dead body over, it looked like Chao Cuo, the imperial historian!
