Chapter 45 3. The Pain of Liangzhou

With an emperor like Liu Hong in charge, even such a splendid dynasty would have to be ruined by him.Therefore, the Han Dynasty was like a great patient. Back then, even a cold could not invade his body. Now, he is sick from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. . The Han Dynasty is now just lingering, this is an unchangeable fact.Facing this reality, Liu Hong should be well aware.He put on a crazy look, but in fact he just wanted to die of addiction. If so, God will perfect you, the eunuch will perfect you, Zhang Jiao wants to perfect you, and the people of the world will want to perfect you.

You know, since Zhang Jiao fired the first shot of the uprising, even though he was quickly wiped out by Liu Hong's people, Zhang Jiao died, and there were Li Jiao and Wang Jiao; Red Scarf Army. So far, rioters have revolted all over the country. The large teams often have 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the small ones have 6,000 to 7,000 people.In line with the great policy of launching the market as early as possible and grabbing meat in a timely manner, they waved their flags and shouted, and the drums and gongs were loud, which was very lively. Among these rioters, one named Zhang Niujiao and another named Chu Feiyan joined forces to attack Julu County.The name Zhang Niujiao is interesting. Maybe he thought that Zhang Jiao died early because he was not a cow. He had an extra cow in his life, so he should be able to hang out longer.Unexpectedly, one more cow would not work, and was shot to death by stray arrows on the battlefield.

Zhang Niujiao is the leader of the rioters, and he handed over power to Chu Feiyan before his death.Brother Feiyan changed his surname to Zhang Feiyan in order to thank Zhang Niujiao for his kindness.Zhang Feiyan is much more useful than Zhang Niujiao. Because he comes and goes like flying, people in the world call him Feiyan.Perhaps because of his great skill, many people in the mountainous area raised their flags, willing to follow him in the revolution. As a result, Zhang Feiyan's reputation became more and more mysterious, and more and more people joined him, even reaching more than one million at the peak.When Zhangjiao was the most, it was only hundreds of thousands.This Zhang Feiyan got more than one million yuan in one fell swoop, which was almost fatal.

Zhang Feiyan is indeed the master of killing people.He was hailed as a black mountain bandit by the government army, wherever he went to the north of the Yellow River, he robbed him of everything. Facing this behemoth, Liu Hong saw it in his eyes and was anxious, but he couldn't do anything about it. Soon, someone sent a message to Liu Hong, don't worry, we have found a solution for you. Who is your messenger?It turned out to be Zhang Feiyan. Zhang Feiyan sent someone to negotiate conditions with Liu Hong. We came out to make troubles just for a bite of food. If the emperor is willing to give us food, I guarantee that our brothers will not come out to make troubles.

To put it more thoroughly, Zhang Feiyan is asking for security. If you feed yourself, you won't rebel, is it true?Liu Hong couldn't believe himself.If it's true, don't even think about it, just agree. Sure enough, it was true. Liu Hong not only fed Zhang Feiyan, but also worshiped him as a general in peace, responsible for maintaining law and order north of the Yellow River.Subduing the enemy without fighting, more than one million rioters were dealt with by only one official position, and Liu Hong felt much more comfortable. Now, there won't be any more trouble, right?

How can there be no trouble?There is a shortage of food, water, and good people these days, but there is no shortage of rebels.In March, terrible bad news came from Liangzhou, saying that the people of Liangzhou had rebelled and were preparing to attack the Guanzhong area. Liangzhou?Liu Hong couldn't help having goosebumps in his heart, how could it be Liangzhou again? Regarding the issue of Liangzhou, not to mention Liu Hong's headache, Liu Xiu had a headache as early as the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty.At that time, Kai Xiao joined forces with Gongsun Shu, one occupied Liangzhou and the other defended Chengdu, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Liu Xiu exhausted all the soldiers in the world to wipe them out.

Since then, nothing has happened in Chengdu, but in Liangzhou, people often make trouble.The main reason is that there are many Qiang people living in this place, and these ethnic minorities also want to make a living. If they encounter someone who does not want them to live, apart from anything else, they will fight with a hoe. Therefore, this is a troubled place, if there is no trouble, it will be fine, and if there is trouble, it will be a catastrophe and it will be out of control. It is a good thing that Zhang Feiyan turned his back on the evil and asked for security.However, the rebels in Liangzhou didn't care about that.They don't like recruiting, they only like to fight. If you can subdue them, you are considered powerful.

Whether Liu Hong has that fate, he has no idea at all.So, without confidence, he had no choice but to hold a meeting of ministers to discuss countermeasures. There are many people who come to the meeting, but there are not many people who dare to speak up and know how to make moves.It is Liu Hong's work style to be busy scratching money when he is free, and crouching when he is in a hurry.But in the eyes of the ministers, you have scraped off so much money from us to have the opportunity to come to a meeting with you. How can there be any real Buddhist feet for you to hug, and Hong Kong feet are almost the same.

Speaking of Hong Kong feet, there are really a pair.These feet grew on Situ Cui Lie's body. Cui Lie, if it wasn't for Liu Hong's unintentional words to make him popular, it is estimated that not many people know about him now.Originally, Cui Lie was considered a celebrity in Jizhou area.Before he became Situ, he had lingered in the position of Jiuqing for a long time.Isn't Liu Hong short of money to build the palace?He went through the back door, donated five million yuan, and became a Situ. Because of this matter, Liu Hong once secretly hurt himself, saying that if he pressed it a little more, he estimated that this position could be sold for 10 million yuan, which is really cheap for this surname Cui.

It was because of Liu Hong's words that made Cui Lie popular, and everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that he paid for an official position.As a result, the image of the celebrity at the beginning has since fallen, and he has become the talk of the people of the Han Dynasty after dinner. As I said before, Sikong and Zhang Wen also spent money to become Sangong. His character is not very good, and his work is relatively reliable.But as soon as Cui Lie showed up, he made people anxious. Regarding the Liangzhou Incident, Cui Lie looked at it this way: Rather than being trapped in the chaos, it is better to abandon Liangzhou.

As soon as this guy finished speaking, someone jumped up on the spot and cursed: "Come on, quickly pull Cui Situ out and chop him up. As long as he is chopped down, the world will naturally be stable." The person who was in a hurry with Cui Lie was Fu Xie. Fu Xie, courtesy name Nanrong, was born in Lingzhou, Beidi County (now Wuzhong City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region). Obviously, Situ Cui Lie has met his opponent. However, as soon as Fu Xie finished speaking, Shang Shu stood up and bombarded him, saying: "Today is to discuss matters. Why do you humiliate ministers in front of the emperor? I will impeach you now." Fu Xie turned his head to look and smiled coldly.The person who is going to impeach him is Shang Shulang Yang Zan. The discussion turned into a quarrel, and Liu Hong was about to lose control.He pressed Yang Zan and asked Fu Xie, "Where did you start with what you said just now?" Fu Xie said: "Have you ever remembered that when the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun repeatedly violated the frontier and even humiliated Empress Lu, the general Fan Kui couldn't see it and said that he could go out and deal with him with only 100,000 troops. In the end, the words were finished. Ji Bu jumped out and said that he was going to take him out and kill him." Indeed, such a thing happened.At that time, Ji Bu said that he wanted to cut Fan Kuai because the other party had exaggerated the cowhide.In terms of ability, Fan Kui is not as good as Liu Bang. Liu Bang once led an army of 300,000 to fight against Maodun, and almost lost his life.How can Fan Kuai He De say that one hundred thousand can settle Mao Dun? At this time, Fu Xie continued to say: "Fan Kui killed the enemy back then, and he was dragged out to kill him. Shouldn't Situ kill him? You must know that for more than three hundred years, Liangzhou has been the gateway to the west of the Han Dynasty. Barrier. If Liangzhou is not protected, Chang’an Sanfu and other places will become borders. The Han Dynasty will lose its buffer zone, and the country will be in danger. I can't figure out what is going on in his mind." After Fu Xie finished speaking, he stared angrily at Cui Lie as if he hadn't finished speaking. At this time, Liu Hong finally understood. He sighed, nodded and said, "Old Fu is right, Liangzhou cannot be abandoned. Once abandoned, everyone will be over." Since the Liangzhou rebellion is to be resolved, it is necessary to send a person who is sharpened with a sword.Who is the best candidate, there is no need to think about the answer, Huangfusong must come forward to this matter. When Huangfusong was mentioned, Liu Hong shook his head. This guy is currently unavailable.Before Liangzhou was in chaos, Huangfusong was on the front line.But now, he has been suppressed. What's going on here, isn't Huangfusong all right?In fact, after all, all of this was the eunuch's fault. In terms of political affiliation, Huangfusong and Wang Yun are both members of the same belief team, and they have a hard time with the eunuch from the bottom of their hearts.Now is not the era of Huangfusong. It is not so cheap for Huangfusong to fight against the eunuch. The process of things is as follows: when Huangfusong was attacking Zhang Jiao, he passed by Ye County and saw Zhao Zhong's house was magnificently built, so he couldn't help feeling angry. By the way, the ancient people repairing houses is the same as the modern people relying on their professional titles to enjoy fund-raising housing.As a courtier, no matter how powerful and powerful he was, he couldn't build a building higher than that of the royal family.Because of this, before Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang, they fooled Liu Hong not to climb the heights together. Once they climbed up, the mansions outside Luoyang City were all in his eyes, and it must be endless. However, Wang Yun failed to engage Zhang Rang, and Huangfusong was lucky, he succeeded. One of the reasons for Wang Yun's failure was to accuse Zhang of letting his disciples communicate with the rebellious army, and those letters could not constitute strong evidence.But Huangfusong was different. He impeached Zhao Zhong, saying that the house was overbuilt.Liu Hong sent someone to have a look, and the house was standing there, and he couldn't afford to renege on the debt. Therefore, Liu Hong sent someone to confiscate Zhao Zhong's house in Ye County. Once Huangfusong finished messing with Zhao Zhong, it was his turn to mess with him again.At this time, Zhang Rang sent someone to greet Huangfusong, saying that you have made great achievements and still have so many fiefdoms, we are a little nervous now, can you borrow some money to spend? To put it bluntly, it was a bribe. What's the matter, Zhang Rang didn't come early, didn't come late, and came to ask for bribes at this time, what did he care about? What kind of heart, I understand it after thinking about it.You messed with his brother Zhao Zhong, he came today to avenge his brother.If the money is given, I still don't know what kind of tricks he will play next, so it's okay if I don't give it, just wait and see him make a small report. Sure enough, Huangfusong refused to bribe Zhang Rang, and his small report was sent to Liu Hong. The people who sued him were Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang.They told Liu Hong this way: It is understood that Huangfusong's useless suppression of Liangzhou wasted a lot of public funds of the state, so he should be called back and replaced by someone else. Changing generals before the battle is a taboo in soldiers.Liu Hong knew this truth.However, under the siege of his father Zhang Rang and his mother Zhao Zhong, he still couldn't stand it.He had no choice but to issue an edict to recall Huangfusong from the front line, confiscate the general's seal, and cut down six thousand fiefdoms. Now I understand that it is useless to let Huangfusong go out to pacify Liangzhou.At this time, don't mention Zhu Jun, Liu Hong has already sent him to keep an eye on Zhang Feiyan.Because Liu Hong discovered that Zhang Feiyan's name had been taken in, and he was approaching the capital step by step, so he had to guard against it. Looking at the Han Dynasty, there are no good generals.After much deliberation, Liu Hong had no choice but to drive the ducks to the shelves and send the person in front of him out.
