Xu Huang had nothing to say to the guy who couldn't wait to enjoy the service of reincarnation. He could only send the news back to the court as soon as possible to let Liu Bei know, so that Liu Bei could come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.
Then he continued to lead his troops in the direction of Ganling, intending to seal Liu Zhong's mouth before he made an even more insane speech, otherwise Jizhou might really undergo a "big blood change" this time.
When Xu Huang led his army to advance rapidly, Liu Zhong was thinking about the "strategic plan" for the future.
The victory in the battle that drove away Shi Yiguan made Liu Zhong very proud. The success of his own conspiracy also made him the biggest contributor to the victory in the Battle of Ganling. He was respected by all the rebel leaders who participated in the war, and
Everyone unanimously agreed to support Liu Zhong as their leader and be loyal to Liu Zhong.
They said that everyone gathered together to oppose the Order of Dutian. Although it was very just, it lacked a righteous name. Now that Liu Zhong, the King of Ganling, could become the leader, it could be considered as a compensation.
Because of our righteousness, we can now call on the world to fight against Liu Bei's tyranny.
They cried to Liu Zhong and complained about the humiliation and pain Liu Bei had brought to them. They believed that Liu Bei's promotion of the land transfer order was just to kill them, and that he actually wanted to whitewash this fatal policy. It was really shameless to the extreme. No matter what, they
Neither is acceptable.
Others say that everyone tolerated the slave restriction order last time, but this time Liu Bei went too far. If he continues to endure it, who knows whether Liu Bei will push it further and do what Emperor Xiaowu would do back then?
Everyone must work together to let Liu Bei know that Liu Che is not that easy to do, force him to be Liu Che, and do something that is outrageous and resentful. Be careful that even Liu Xiu can't do it!
Liu Zhong agreed with this. Liu Zhong also believed that Liu Bei's actions were too wanton and completely harmed the interests of the people of the world. He did not take into account how sad everyone was. Basically, he felt that he was too strong.
So now that Liu Che is ready, everyone has to give him a head-on blow and let him know how much he weighs.
And more importantly, in this Ganling League, facing the obedience and "loyalty" of a large group of people, Liu Zhong felt unprecedented honor and power and quickly swelled.
He felt that he was very awesome. He suddenly had thousands of troops and horses, so many people obeyed his orders, and he could order so many people to charge into battle, wouldn't he be very awesome?
Maybe it's time to do something you've wanted to do before but never did.
If it is done, not to mention that the throne will be preserved, it is not unimaginable that other positions will be preserved!
So Liu Zhong began to have evil thoughts - he raised his doubts about Liu Bei's throne with ulterior motives.
He said that this was his instinctive suspicion as the king of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also a deep-seated concern that he opposed Liu Bei. Even if there was no Dutian Order, he felt that he would still have differences with Liu Bei, and he would probably side with him.
On the opposite side of Liu Bei, because they are not members of the same family.
Although the inheritance of the throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not attach much importance to the inheritance within a family, sometimes it would be extended to the selection of successors within the clan, but if the distance was too far, it would definitely not be possible.
While he has the status of a clan king, he is also very different from Liu Bei in terms of blood relationship. He believes that Liu Bei will not tolerate him continuing to be the clan king after all, so instead of waiting for Liu Bei's knife to strike, it is better to strike directly and let him
Let's see whose knife is sharper.
So at the meeting, Liu Zhong pointed out that there was a problem with Liu Bei's throne, and it was very problematic, and he was unwilling to recognize Liu Bei's throne.
He wanted to do something special, such as replacing the original little emperor Liu Xie.
"Even if the late emperor had no sons, the emperor's successor should be selected from close relatives of the royal family in order to convince the public. Not to mention that the two sons of the late emperor are still alive. The eldest son is guilty and cannot inherit the throne, but the second son is obviously the emperor.
But he was deposed from the throne by Liu Bei. This was pure usurpation.
In fact, before, many people suspected that Liu Bei had usurped the throne. According to Wang Mang's story, he seized the throne from the Empress Dowager, used coercion and inducement, forced the Empress Dowager and the emperor to submit, did what a rebellious person would do, and lived up to the late emperor's treatment of him.
This kind of trust and expectation really makes me heartbroken!
We are all men of the Han Dynasty, and we are all people who are deeply benevolent by the late emperor. Now the late emperor's son has been usurped from the throne by Liu Bei, and he is humiliated and bullied by Liu Bei. Such things are happening in front of our eyes. How can we, the loyal ministers and righteous men, turn a blind eye? If so,
After we die, how can we face the late Emperor?"
Liu Zhong's statement at that time shocked many people.
Because they never thought of questioning Liu Bei's throne.
They just opposed the order to conquer the fields. Fundamentally, Liu Bei's rule was not a big problem and could still maintain stability. They liked stability, but they just didn't like paying taxes. As long as Liu Bei gave up the order to conquer the fields, it didn't hinder them from making money. They didn't mind doing other things.
Cooperate with Liu Bei.
As for the question of Liu Bei's throne, those who should be suspicious are almost suspicious, but the procedures are complete, the seal is legal, Luoyang admits it, and the world is convinced. Even if there was a problem before, there is no problem now.
Now that the human crown prince has been established, the country's foundation is stable, its dignity has been inherited, and it has been clearly announced to the world, what else can be done?
Everyone just wanted to make Liu Bei submissive and compromise on economic issues, and then continue to live a good life. They never thought of fundamentally rejecting Liu Bei's political identity.
If they do this, Liu Bei will definitely give up all other fantasies and worries and directly transform into the invincible general to fight to the death with them, but they don't feel it is necessary to fight to the death with Liu Bei.
Wouldn't it be ok if we could return to the state of Emperor Guangwu's time?
But Liu Zhong didn't think so. He knew very well that these guys wanted to pull the flag and make a tiger skin. They elected him as the leader to use his identity and status to take the blame, and he just needed such a group of people to act as his leaders.
thug to enhance his strength.
Liu Zhong himself also knew that Liu Bei was very capable and a powerful figure who could stabilize the world. To the people of the world, if Liu Bei came to power and maintained the stability of the world, then he was a qualified emperor and no one wanted to replace him.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Zhong wanted to call on the people of the world to defend his prince, so he did it out of nowhere.
But in this case, so many people wanted to use his name to oppose Liu Bei's land transfer order.
Since you want to use me, why can't I use you in turn?
Liu Zhong persuaded everyone with earnest words.
"Liu Bei is a treacherous and cunning man. Even if he gives in for a while, it will definitely be a huge hidden danger in the long run. If he gives in now, who can guarantee that he will not come back in the future? And once we lose this opportunity, we may be betrayed by him.
Defeat each one, find a reason to eliminate us all, and then implement the order to conquer the fields.
So this time, we must succeed no matter what, and Liu Bei must not be given the opportunity to establish the order to save the land. The best way is to push Liu Bei down from the throne and let the son of the late emperor be restored to the throne and become the emperor again. Only in this way can he truly
It will ensure that we will never have to worry about farming again.”
To be fair, what Liu Zhong said makes sense, because even if Liu Bei temporarily surrendered and gave up the order to conquer the fields, it cannot be said that he would really give up the order to conquer the fields completely.
At that time, Liu Xiu was also in the field, but he faced too much opposition, so he had to make some compromises in exchange for the stability of the world.
But in the years that followed, as the accounts were settled after the fall and his position gradually stabilized, he still promoted the implementation of the Dutian Order in the Han Empire to a considerable extent. Within the scope that everyone could barely bear, the Dutian Order was implemented quite strictly.
, even just a few years ago, the local government implemented the old land transfer order.
Who dares to say that if Liu Bei doesn't engage in Dutian now, he will definitely not do it in the future?
It is absolutely possible that he will not do it now, but will retreat in order to advance. In the years to come, he will continue to eliminate those who are currently against him, and then wait until he has accumulated enough strength to promote the Dutian Order.
So if you really want to protect your property and interests, there is only one way.
Take advantage of the legal loopholes in Liu Bei's status as emperor, severely attack his orthodox status, shake his status, lose his throne, and make Liu Xie the emperor again. Only in this way can we truly protect everyone's interests.
Liu Zhong's words made many family representatives think deeply, thinking that what Liu Zhong said was reasonable. If Liu Bei retreated in order to advance, his temporary victory would certainly not last long.
Everyone has already rebelled, captured cities and territories, and killed many people. Who is sure that Liu Bei will not settle the score and fight a protracted war with everyone?
That being the case, why can't something more explicit be done?
Fundamentally oppose the legitimacy of Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, overthrow Liu Bei's regime, and support a regime that represents their own interests to come to power. This is a once and for all approach. If it is done, everyone can sit back and relax.
This idea swept through the rebels in a short period of time. Except for a few families who were panicked by this, most families were quite excited and felt that they had a great hope of winning at that time, so it should be possible to solve the problem in one step.
Negotiable.
Regarding this special situation, only the Cui family, the Sun family, and the He family were frightened. After all the entanglements, they chose to secretly withdraw from the rebel alliance, and then turned south to look for Shi Yiguan, hoping to surrender to Shi Yiguan and others.
, admit their mistakes in exchange for their understanding, and thus strive for leniency after the war.
They dare to oppose the land transfer order.
They did not dare to question Liu Bei's throne.
They felt that those people were simply stuffed with food, hindering their normal thinking ability and thinking of other bad things. They dared to question Liu Bei's throne, for fear that they would die quickly, right?
Liu Zhong didn't care about the withdrawal of a few cowards, because most people supported him and compiled action slogans and political manifestos for him, thus embarking on a road of no return.
Liu Zhong thought he had reached the pinnacle of his life, but he did not expect that just six days after the release of this political declaration, the first rebel army was defeated in the west of Ganling County, and more than 5,000 people were wiped out by the Han army general Xu Huang.
Now Xu Huang is leading the main force of the Han army of more than 10,000 people towards Ganling County.
A small-scale defeat cannot shake Liu Zhong's determination, nor can it shake the will of most of the guys who have boarded the pirate ship. They know that they are on the opposite side of Liu Bei. So far, the only option is to win or die.
.
Wealth and honor are found in danger. In this case, why not fight hard once and if you are lucky, you can become a founding hero?
So under the organization of Liu Zhong, this group of people carefully selected 30,000 elites from the 50,000 to 60,000 miscellaneous troops to form the "Loyal and Righteous Army" directly commanded by Liu Zhong——
Liu Zhong personally named this army the Zhongyi Army, saying that this was an army that fought desperately for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. Such an army would definitely be able to fight for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
The members of the major families who participated in the Zhongyi Army were also appointed by him as captains and generals. Then 30,000 people left Ganling County in a mighty manner and ran directly towards Xu Huang to fight Xu Huang.
The real battle is going to be against Xu Huangye.
He believed that as long as he could defeat Xu Huang, he could go further north, penetrate Jizhou, find Liu Xie, let Liu Xie ascend the throne in Hebei and proclaim himself emperor, call on all the landowners in Hebei to join the army, resist Liu Bei, and use Hebei as the
foundation, formally declared war on Liu Bei, and resumed the route followed by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Liu Zhong believes that this is an achievable path.
As for defeating Xu Huang, he felt it was not impossible.
First of all, he has more soldiers and horses than Xu Huang. Xu Huang only has 10,000 people, but he has 30,000 people. 30,000 vs. 10,000 people. The advantage is mine.
Secondly, he waited for work in leisure, Xu Huang came all the way, and the old soldiers in the division were tired, so he must have no fighting power. The advantage is mine.
Thirdly, although Xu Huang has a reputation and is a battle-hardened veteran, the Ganling Kingdom is his home turf, and the soldiers around him are all locals who are familiar with the terrain and climate, while the people brought by Xu Huang are all soldiers from outside.
I am not familiar with the road in life, and playing away from home is a huge disadvantage.
So, the advantage is still with me.
In this way, Liu Zhong thought that he was in an advantageous situation with a flying dragon riding on his face. He wanted to ask those who questioned his aggressive advance, how could he lose?
Yes, some people who are worried about Xu Huang's reputation think that although Xu Huang only has 10,000 people, they should all be elite soldiers. However, our own soldiers lack training and combat experience. It is unwise to forcefully fight in the field with elite soldiers. The city should be defended.
Force the Han army to attack the city and buy time for the people of the world to respond.
As long as they can hold off Xu Huang's army, they can buy more time for others who want to resist Liu Bei, and more and more people will stand up to resist Liu Bei. By then, no matter how Liu Bei can fight,
You will be forced to compromise.
Even ultimate failure is not impossible.
However, Liu Zhong firmly denied the idea of clinging to the city.
He believed that this was tantamount to giving the advantage of strategic maneuverability to the Han army for no reason. The Han army could cut off their logistics supply routes at will. At present, they were not ready to be trapped in a city, and there was not enough time.
.
If Liu Bei takes advantage of this time to mobilize his troops and recruit more troops, wouldn't they lose their military advantage?
We must rush forward now and devour Xu Huang!
And how could Liu Zhong be able to do something like besieging an isolated city?
A real man only shows his face, and those who guard the lonely city are just insects!
He ambitiously led 30,000 elite troops to fight against Xu Huang.
Then, not surprisingly, he was beaten to pieces by Xu Huang in the wilderness.
Xu Huang was a little worried at first that there were too many rebels. If he stayed on the defensive, so many Han troops would be a big test. If he couldn't win quickly, he would need to gather more troops to surround the rebels. As time went by, other people would
Talking about the various local opinions, Liu Bei might have some opinions.
That would be very disadvantageous for him.
Among the five tiger generals, he is the only one who is a pure outsider. He is neither a member of the Yuan Dynasty nor a member of the clan. He has reached this point entirely by relying on Liu Bei's appreciation and military exploits. There are many people in the army who secretly covet his status, and even more so.
Not to mention that he is guarding the most fertile and fertile land, there are even more jealous people.
He must maintain a strong intimidating power and win every battle. With such absolute strength, he can intimidate the younger generation, prove his ability and value, and allow Liu Bei to continue to use him.
