Chapter 71 2. Chao Cuo, really cut it

As expected, Liu Qi took action. Behind every provocateur, there is a powerful sponsor.Now, Chao Cuo's plan to cut the marquis is a provocation, and Liu Qi behind it is an unparalleled supporter.In order to gnaw away Liu Bi's hard bone first, Chao Cuo worked hard, and the evidence collected is listed as follows: First: Liu Bi has been out of court for more than 20 years because of his illness, and he should be punished according to the ancient law; Second: Emperor Wen was virtuous and gave him the treatment of not going to court, with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.Liu Bi should have been grateful to tears, but instead became more and more proud, opened mountains to cast money, boiled seas into salt, and recruited desperadoes from all over the world in an attempt to cause chaos.

To sum up the above two points, even if he doesn't cut it, Liu Bi will have a reverse day.That being the case, cutting is against, not cutting is against, it is better to really cut.What's more, cut it early and solve it early, endure the pain for a while, and seek peace for a hundred years. I think, when Liu Qi heard Chao Cuo's words, there were only four words: Cold is born from the feet. The princes are like hands and feet, and the center is like a head; the head directs the hands and feet, which is human nature.All of a sudden, the hands and feet are going to join forces to kill your head. Isn't this the other way around?

If so, who is to blame?Yes, the collapsed Emperor Wen should be blamed.If Liu Heng hadn't opened up folks to make money, would King Wu have gotten rich so quickly?If Liu Heng was more cruel and showed the princes some color, would Liu Bi be so arrogant?If...if...if there is an if, will history still exist? Comrade Liu Qi, please correct your attitude and face the cruel reality.If you really want to complain about Comrade Liu Heng, he will also say to you: My wisdom is to wrap the fire in paper, so if the fire really burns, future generations can only figure out a way. Well, Chao Cuo has said it all, there is no better way for a while except to cut the Marquis.Now that the gunpowder is loaded, and since Chao Cuo is not afraid of death, let's be ruthless and do something big.

If you want to cut it, you must cut the fat first.Chao Cuo had already planned to cut two pieces of land in Wu State: Kuaiji County and Zhang County. From ancient times to the present, whether it is a fight between shrews or a country going to war, they have all performed the following procedure without exception: first jump up and shake off a lot of so-called ironclad crimes of the other party, and then make a gnashing of teeth. , and finally copied the real guy to work.If it is a big country going to war, there is an additional procedure, that is, to fight one or two sibling countries of the opponent first, to test the reaction of the opponent, and then continue to make the next step.

This is what Chao Cuo did more than two thousand years ago.Before issuing a letter to cut down the two counties of Wu State, he first took the other three vassal states: Chu State, Zhao State, and Jiaoxi State.Chu State was cut off from Donghai County; Zhao Wang was cut off from Changshan County; Jiaoxi King was cut off from six counties. The reasons for their removal are as follows: When the Empress Dowager Bo died, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, slept with women in his private house. He corrupted customs and deserved to be punished. County; as for Zhao Wang Liu Sui, you have also made mistakes. As for what, I don't need to talk about Chao Cuo. I cut you Changshan County as punishment.

So, what mistake did Zhao Wang Liu Sui commit?Chao Cuo didn't say anything, Liu Qi didn't say anything, and Liu Sui didn't complain. The result can only be: Heaven knows, Earth knows, ghosts and gods know. But at this time, Liu Qi was destroying the Three Kingdoms in succession, and Liu Bi became nervous.The Han Dynasty did not just kill chickens to warn monkeys, they wanted to kill both chickens and monkeys.From this point of view, the next one is Wu Guo's turn. I think it's time for me to make a move.Liu Bi clenched his fists again, and said to himself secretly in his heart.

Of course, Liu Bi is not fighting alone.The enemy of the enemy will always be my friend. At least, he can form an alliance with the three princes of Chu, Zhao, and Jiaoxi.And Jiaoxi Wang Liu Ang was Liu Bi's first PR target. The reason why Liu Bi chose Jiaoxi King as the alliance partner was not because Jiaoxi was a small country and needed to rely on the big tree of Wu to enjoy the shade.On the contrary, Liu Ang was brave and aggressive, and loved the art of war, and no one among the princes and kings would give him three points.In Liu Bi's view, this is a good candidate for rebellion!

So Liu Bi sent a Chinese doctor named Ying Gao to lobby Liu Ang on his behalf.Ying Gao met Queen Jiaoxi, and the conversation between the two was as follows: Ying Gao: Your Majesty, have you ever heard a proverb that a dog eats rice after eating the chaff? Jiaoxi Wang: Did you make a special trip to test my knowledge of ancient prose?If you have anything to say, please speak up. Ying Gao: Your Majesty is so refreshing.That being the case, I will open the skylight and speak frankly.You were cut off for a small crime, don't you think the central government of the Han Dynasty has gone too far?

Jiaoxi Wang: So what?People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Ying Gao: Wrong!Standing under the eaves and bowing your head is always something that a cowardly person would do. Jiaoxi Wang: What do you want? Ying Gao: Since the eaves hurt the scalp, you have to give the eaves some color! Jiaoxi Wang: What do you want? Ying Gao: Just tear down the eaves of this dog day! Jiaoxi Wang: Could it be that you want to rebel? Ying Gao: Exactly!This is exactly what I want to say! Jiaoxi Wang: How dare you say such a thing.It's going to rain, Hou is going to be sacked, the big deal is to give it up, why risk your reputation and ruin to rebel?

Ying Gao: Your Majesty's words are wrong!When the comet comes out and the locusts come out, it is a good time to rebel.If Your Majesty is willing to unite with the King of Wu and take over the world, we will each share half, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing? Ying Gao's words were extremely lethal. From last year to this year, that is, from 155 BC to 154 BC, comets appeared in the sky twice.The first time it appeared in the northeast sky, and the second time it appeared in the west.The appearance of these two comets symbolizes that the disaster of war is coming; Mars and Jupiter move in opposite directions, which is a sign of chaos.Could it be that this is all arranged by God?

Liu Ang hesitated. The world is divided into half.One Eastern Emperor and one Western Emperor.It turns out that the princes and kings are only one step away from the emperor! Really tempting! At this time, Ying Gao watched Liu Ang, waiting for the devil to defeat the angel.Finally, Liu Ang finally nodded and said only one word: Good! Ying Gao immediately returned to the state of Wu and reported the word "good" to Liu Bi.However, after listening to Ying Gao's report, Liu Bi immediately made a decision: I must personally have an interview with this king of Jiaoxi! Yes, what Liu Bi was worried about was that Liu Ang changed his mind temporarily. Therefore, Liu Bi pretended to be an envoy of Wu and went to Jiaoxi secretly, and exchanged opinions and plans for the rebellion with Liu Ang again.However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.When the officials of the Jiaoxi Kingdom heard about this, they were all like ants on a hot nest, begging to see Liu Ang with their heads and letters of advice. Their advice is this: Aren't you afraid to make your mother worry about doing this?Besides, there are so many things to do in serving one master, if there are two emperors in the world, wouldn't it be all messed up? Faced with the above bitter remonstrance, Liu Ang only had one sentence: the decision has been made, please don't say too much. After dealing with King Jiaoxi, Liu Bi finally let go of half of his heart.Next, it will be easy for the princes such as Chu and Zhao.Sure enough, envoys from Wu sent back good news one after another. In addition to Jiaoxi, there were also the following princes and kings: King Chu, King Zhao, King Jiaodong, King Suichuan, and King Jinan. There were seven kingdoms in total.There are two other princes to be tested: King Jibei and King Qi. Everyone is on their positions, all that is left is Liu Bi's slogan to charge!
