Section 505: One person to one hundred thousand
On this day, Hanzhong.
As a general who was appointed as a general who was tasked with suppressing the rebellion.
Three-way drum, gathering the school together to the big tent.
The chief general's surname is Gao and Gao Yao.
Seeing that the generals and school arrived, Gao Yao glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Put the knife hidden in your arms under your feet. I want to assassinate you."
At this moment, several lieutenants put the knife in their arms at their feet in embarrassment.
"My brother Gao Qiong led the Jin and Copper Mine Area, and Datong troops were advancing north. Destroying Tatars is one of the three major military affairs at present. You and others must work hard to ensure that the materials from Shu are heading north to Lingzhou. General Zhe of Lingzhou has entered the Jin and Copper Mine and ensure the safety of the food route. Next year, there will be 2 million dans of grain and grass, 100,000 dans of cloth, and 600,000 tea cakes in Shu. The road must be repaired."
Several generals were a little confused.
Isn't this here to suppress the rebellion?
"Jixuan, bringing five thousand elite soldiers, bright flag armor, and setting the way for the marquis."
"yes."
"It's over, build roads in spring, and prepare early in each defense zone."
This is the end.
What about the official's order to suppress the rebellion?
The generals were a little confused.
A day later, Liu An arrived in Hanzhong and did not enter the city, so he passed by.
Five thousand elite soldiers were as ordered by Gao Yao, and their flags and armor were clearly arranged next to the road.
Liu An sat in the carriage, sitting upright, without looking sideways.
There are only three hundred people.
Watching Liu An walk past Hanzhong, someone asked Gao Yao: "General, why doesn't the marquis send troops to Bianliang with him?"
"Everyone has his own battle, so does he."
"I won't understand it at the end."
"So, you can only lead people to build the one hundred miles of mountain road."
Ordinary soldiers, the captain doesn't understand.
But Gao Yao understands it.
By defeating the Zhao family by sword, Liu An could not face the people of the world, let alone face the current official family.
Also, Zhao You, who doesn’t know life and death.
Ten days later, Xijing Luoyang.
One hundred thousand imperial guards, Linte led the army.
Just lined up in the west of Luoyang City, flags were held, and swords were like forests.
Liu An has arrived.
"Fan Si, I'm willing to accompany you as my teacher."
"I wish to go with my mentor."
Liu An asked: "Fan Si, do you know why the army does not lead troops?"
Fan Zhongyan understood that Liu An wanted to summon troops and horses, so he absolutely wanted to summon million troops. The soldiers and horses from both sides of Hebei were clearly disobeying the imperial edicts of the officials, including the soldiers in Jiangnan, the Song army in Goryeo, and the Song army in Japanese.
To really want to gather troops, Liu An could summon a million troops within three months.
Fan Zhongyan replied: "My teacher won people with virtue."
"Wrong, it costs too much money to transfer troops. If you transfer a million troops and horses, you can help me fight Luzon and destroy the Jurchens. The money cannot be wasted on it."
Is Liu An telling the truth?
Fan Zhongyan didn't know.
But Fan Zhongyan accompanied Liu An and walked step by step towards the imperial guards formation arranged in the western Luoyang.
Liu An had only one person, with a half-old child around him carrying a leather bag containing books on his back. The only weapon on both of them was the threshing knife on Liu An's waist with broken scabbards.
Lint felt endless fear, he was afraid, so scared that he was dying.
From the day he left Bianliang, Linte felt a strong uneasy because the imperial soldiers did not listen to him. Although he left Bianliang, he could not command the imperial soldiers.
At this time, Liu An was only thirty steps away from the military formation, and it can be said that he could clearly see Lin Te's face standing in front of the formation.
Linte could see Liu An's face clearly.
"Welcome... the Marquis back to Beijing!"
An ordinary school shouted, and Linte suddenly turned around and stared at the school.
But then, the entire army shouted in unison: "Welcome the Marquis back to Beijing."
Liu An slowly stepped into the formation, and Fan Zhongyan followed half a step behind.
The army slowly separated to both sides, giving up a two-meter-wide passage. Only the forest was still riding on horseback and standing there without moving. He was the only one on the entire passage.
Liu An continued walking forward and walked past Lint.
He didn't stop, didn't look back, and walked forward without saying a word.
At this moment, three people wearing beggar costumes ran out of Luoyang City, and the leader turned out to be... Zhao You.
Liu An stopped.
Zhao You, who was about two hundred steps away from Liu An, also stopped.
After a full incense stick, the two walked towards each other, but the person behind Zhao You did not move, and Fan Zhongyan also stood still.
When the two of them met face to face, Liu An said first: "It's great that you've grown taller and still alive. I'm going to take over the territory of your Zhao family."
"I know." Zhao You turned around and pointed to the two beggar-like people who were also dressed in a beggar-like manner and said, "They jumped out of the river to save me, but after saving me, they regretted trying to kill me within two days. I understood then."
"kindness."
"Brother-in-law, I want to know when you want to rebel? I want to hear you say it in person, and I tell them that if I must die, I hope to see you again."
Liu An sighed: "From the day I woke up, I was unwilling to be a minister in Song. Song was too weak, not because of national strength but because of your Zhao family. Your grandfather seized the country of the Chai family, and your grandfather joined forces with the powerful people in Bianliang to kill his brother and proclaim himself emperor. That's fine. Emperor Taizong of Tang also killed his brother and proclaim himself emperor."
"But your grandfather has no talent. He is also suspicious of military officers. Military officers have no power. Song Ruo has no backbone and has lost all the character of China. Besides, your father, my uncle, is a good person, but not a good emperor. He cannot enrich the country and strengthen the people internally, and cannot promote the power of China externally."
"I, I don't understand very much." Zhao You lowered his head.
He actually understands it in his heart.
When he saw Liu An only led Fan Zhongyan toward the 100,000 imperial guards, he knew that his family's country was gone.
When the 100,000 imperial guards did not obey the imperial orders and made way for Liu An, he knew that the heart of the people was in his brother-in-law, not in his Zhao family.
Liu An touched Zhao You's head: "You owe me one life, now there are two. What I originally thought was to let you be the emperor, and then I will build a new system in the court, and the emperor will no longer be in power, because once the emperor is weak, the entire nation will be weak, but now there is no need."
"kindness."
Zhao You knew that Liu An was telling the truth.
The first life is to get smallpox yourself. Liu An tried medicine for himself, and that was a life-threatening effort.
The second life is now.
Liu An took Zhao You's hand and said, "Go back to Bianliang with me, I want to meet your father, my uncle. The world is about to change. As for the position of the emperor, I have no interest. But if I have to sit, I will sit. You can hate me because I overthrow your Zhao family."
Zhao You didn't say anything, he just asked Liu An to pull him away silently.
Zhao You is still young, he knows some things, but he doesn't understand the value of the throne.
He only knew now that Liu An didn't want his father to be the throne.
Suddenly, Zhao You said, "I want to know, is it my father or that Liu E who wants to kill me?"
Liu An was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't think about this problem. According to common sense, the emperor today is a kind person and has no reason to kill his own son.
However, with Liu E's power in the palace, how could she arrange for the dead soldiers to be assassins?
