Chapter 1087: Afterglow of the Great Wu, Wolves Devouring Tigers, Heart of Dayu
Let’s talk about the land of Dawu.
At that time, the mighty Eighteen Routes of Rebels and the Sixty-Four Routes of Smoke and Dust, after these years of great waves and sandstorms, as well as all kinds of mutual devouring among them, now only the last Five Routes of Rebels are left.
Those anti-kings, while they were devouring the powerful Wu court, they were also devouring each other to strengthen themselves. If their companions around them showed a chance of weakness, they would even be more vicious than when they faced the Wu court.
.
When the Nanman invaded, there were still ten rebel kings, but now, only half of them remain.
Of course, among the anti-kings who have disappeared, in addition to the anti-kings devouring each other and the Dawu Dynasty killing them, there are also those who were killed when the Dayu Dynasty attacked Wu and the Southern Barbarians invaded Wu.
On the first route, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of the Ming Dynasty, occupied the two rich garrison areas of Bojin Road and Hanjin Road in the northeast of Wu Dynasty. He had a cloud of counselors under his tent, a rain of generals, water and land, and 250,000 cavalry and horses.
Among the remaining five rebels, he is clearly the most powerful one.
On the second route, Han Chen, who was entrenched in the north of Wu, had 150,000 land and water troops under his command. Among the five rebel kings, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was the strongest.
On the third road, Tongyi Wang Guyuan, who is entrenched in the east of Dawu, although the territory in his hands is not much, it is the same as the territory controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is a wealthy land, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
The most prosperous areas in Dawu were originally the Central Land and the Eastern Land. Apart from these two areas, the next one was Zhu Yuanzhang's Northeastern Land.
The land in the south is relatively barren because it is close to the Shiwanda Mountain.
The fourth route is also the anti-king Wu Wang Wang Gaizhi who is located to the east of Da Wu. He is the most brave and good at fighting among the anti-kings. Every time he goes to battle, he leaps ahead. He once fought against Xue Mingyang, although he was defeated.
You are proud.
Legend has it that when he first started his career, he once drove away thousands of people with his single strength. He was called the King of Wu. This King of Wu was not something he claimed to be, but someone he named himself, and that's how he got this name.
The fifth route is Zhang Shicheng, the northwest king of Wu. He occupies the northwest and has certain strength in his hands.
However, although he has many soldiers and horses under his command, the number is even greater than that of Han Chen, but he only talks about quantity and not quality.
Like Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Chen, they are like the Celestial Masters of Da Cang, who have been seeking transformation instead of simply pursuing quantity.
After a period of recuperation, the remaining five rebels in Da Wu are now stronger and stronger.
Moreover, the war between the Nanman and Da Chu had just come to an end, and their biggest stumbling block, Wu Baiqi, showed no sign of being re-employed.
Therefore, the five rebel kings once again planned to join forces to besiege the Wu court and make the surviving Wu court completely disappear from this world.
It was never just the remaining five rebels who were eyeing the Wu Dynasty.
Each of the three brothers of Daewoo is an ambitious person.
The biggest reason why the previous Daewoo Sanliu did not mind marrying the Daewoo Dynasty was that at that time, the Daewoo Dynasty was expanding too fast and it would take a certain amount of time to digest their gains.
But now, even if the previous gains have not been fully digested, at least, even if the fight continues, there will be no indigestion problems.
The changes in the situation in the land of Dawu once again allowed them to see an opportunity.
The current Daewoo court is really full of talents.
Liu Bang is sitting on the throne. Below him, in the row on the left, are Fan Zeng, Li Shiqi, Liu Ye, Pang Ji, Liu Yanzong, Liu Biao, Liu Muzhi, Ma Rixi, Fazheng, Pang Tong, Liao Li and Jiang Wan.
The civil servants stood in turn.
On the right, headed by Zhaolie King Liu Bei and Xingwu King Liu Yu.
Later, generals Xue Lin, Fan Kuai, Peng Yue, Ren Ao, Jiang Chufeng, Zhou Bo, Lu Wan, Huang Huangbao, Baiyinbao, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yi, Liu Heitai, Long Ya, Ma Shanwei, Ji Chang, Wen
Pin, Wei Yan and other generals lined up in two rows.
"Da Wu is finally dying!"
"At such a time, we still need to waste people and money to build a star-catching tower and a wine pool and a meat forest that are useless to our masters!" Liu Bang sat high on the throne and said with a majestic expression.
Liu Bang's majestic look showed no trace of a gangster image.
Is Liu Bang a gangster or a hero?
In a sense, Liu Bang is indeed a big gangster. When he was young, he was a gangster leader and wandered around the countryside. After he became a prince, he still did not change his gangster nature. He would fight against his old rivals no matter what.
Xiang Yu acted like a scoundrel and a rogue.
But you said that Liu Bang was just a hooligan, which is completely wrong. This Han emperor who was born as a grassroots hooligan was one of the few outstanding emperors in Chinese history.
A great man once commented that Liu Bang was the most powerful among the feudal emperors. Shi Le, the founding emperor of Later Zhao during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, also publicly stated many times that I don't accept any of the kings in the past. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu couldn't do it.
If you follow Liu Xiusheng in the same era, you will definitely have to compete with him, but if you change to Liu Bang, forget it. He can only work for Liu Bang honestly, because he is really no match for Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
In the history of China for thousands of years, Liu Bang was the first among all unified kings to truly start from scratch.
Needless to say, Qin Shihuang's family was also a noble in Longxi.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was born a beggar, and Liu Bang at least served as the temporary head of the Sishui Township Police Station. Yes, in terms of background, Zhu Yuanzhang was lower than Liu Bang.
But, do you know who Zhu Yuanzhang’s father-in-law is? The boss of Guo Zixing’s Red Scarf Army, Zhu Yuanzhang became successful because he inherited the power of his old father-in-law, and that was how he became the great Ming Dynasty. In history, he could truly start from scratch and build a country step by step.
, and the only emperor who completed the unification was Liu Bang. Such a feat was unprecedented and unprecedented.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to reap the dividends from his father-in-law because of his ability. Success in this world is all about ability. It doesn’t matter the means, and the fact that he started from scratch cannot be denied.
“Well built!”
"Father, when the Great Wu is built, I would like to send troops to defeat Wu, and let my father go to the star-catching tower to see how small the world is! Let my father also go to the wine pool and meat forest to feast on the world's delicacies!" Liu Yu said with a carefree smile.
.
Emperor Da Wu was really in a daze. How bad was Da Wu now? He didn't even have a clue in his heart.
The Star-Zhaing Tower and the Wine Pond and the Meat Forest were filled with countless craftsmen, and the money and food they expended, let alone how many armies they could arm!
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense!"
"If you present something that was built with the people's sacrifice and anointing to your father, wouldn't it damage your father's reputation?" Liu Bei scolded softly.
If one day he really defeats Wu, then he can leave the Zhaixing Tower behind, but the Wine Pond and Meat Forest will have to be burned by him as soon as possible.
This kind of place, firstly, will not be conducive to conquering the hearts of the people of Wu. Secondly, over time, it may weaken the character.
If you really pursue pleasure for a long time, no matter how good your heroic spirit is, it will be worn away sooner or later.
"I know! I know! Big brother!" Liu Yu resigned helplessly.
Liu Yu sometimes felt helpless towards his brother. His brother was really too much in terms of benevolence. However, the armor of benevolence on his body sometimes gave people a headache.
Incomparable.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Wu listened to You Zhong's slander and built the Star-Zhaing Tower and the wine pool and meat forest. To Your Majesty, this is a blessing from heaven!"
"Emperor Wu is fatuous! It is fitting that the universe will rise in the wind!" Fazheng said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Dawu Mingdian Academy, this is one of the most famous academic palaces of Legalism, not under the Zhengqian Academy of Daxia.
The Dawu Fa family was also a very prominent sect in the Mingdian Academy. The Legalist master Fagu who took action in the Battle of Xirong came from this lineage.
And Fa Zheng also comes from this lineage.
Fazheng, a legal scholar from Legalism, was not only a disciple of Mingdian Academy, but also had the honor to attend classes under Gu Qingzhu in the academy. Like Gao Jiong, they may not be considered Gu Qingzhu's disciples.
A disciple of Master Qing, but he can be said to be a student of Master Gu Qing.
If you meet Gu Qingzhu, you can call him a teacher.
Fa Zheng had always been on good terms with Zhang Song, a Confucian disciple, but Zhang Song often ran into obstacles because of his appearance.
However, Liu Bei was treated politely here, and the same treatment as Zhang Song included Pang Tong.
It was Liu Bei who got what others couldn't get. After entering Zhaolie Mansion, these two people worked even harder. Zhang Song directly wrote a letter and invited his friend Fazheng to come and get together. This is also
In order to give Liu Bei a chance to contact Fa Zheng.
And sure enough, not long after the two people actually met, Zhaolie Mansion had another important plotter.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, the Southern Barbarians have become more and more powerful!"
"And Wu is gradually declining. One day, Li will definitely not stop at Chengjiang, Jiangping, and Qianhang."
"In this way, for us in Dayu, Wu, Sujiang and Jingtang are the top priorities!" Fan Zeng said with some worry.
After the Southern Barbarians entered the Wu Dynasty, they maintained their overall physical strength and the advantage of being at the top of the Central Plains and the Sebari. At the same time, under the leadership of Chi You, they learned military formations step by step and equipped themselves with the elites of the Central Plains.
equipment.
Today's Nanman soldiers are absolutely different from those of the past.
Therefore, in Fan Zeng's view, the emerging Li Dynasty poses a threat that is not comparable to that of the declining Wu Dynasty.
At least, today's Daewoo has absolutely no ability to compete with Da Li alone.
From now on, we must make sufficient preparations for this imaginary enemy. If one day they have to face Dali, then, in Fan Zeng's opinion, Wudi, Sujiang and Jingtang are the two roads that they must win.
Only by capturing these two areas of the Wu Dynasty can they improve their defenses to the south and east. Moreover, it will also further strengthen their strategic depth.
"Now that the battle between Xia and Chu has ended, if I, Dayu, want to use all my strength to attack Wu again! I'm afraid I will be powerless!" Liu Bang said calmly.
They were able to effectively seize the opportunity of that wave of expansion before, because at that time, the Chu Dynasty simply couldn't spare any time to take care of them.
But now, when the Chu Dynasty can do nothing, it is absolutely impossible for them to ignore this huge dynasty. Even if they want to use troops, they will only be able to use part of the troops, and they will never be able to use all their strength like before.
To go.
"Even if we attack Wu, our army must not act too hastily. If we attack Wu at this time, we are afraid that we will receive a full counterattack from Wu!"
"Besides, the eldest prince..." A young man dressed as a scholar looked at Liu Bei apologetically and did not continue, but his meaning was understood by everyone present.
After all, it wasn't long before Liu Bei and Da Wu got married and brought together Wu Su.
Moreover, although the two people were in a political marriage, they had really seen the harmony between the eldest prince and Wu Su since they got married.
The person who spoke was none other than Liu Muzhi, the rising star of the Dayu Clan. Among the Dayu Clan, his abilities were at the forefront.
Liu Muzhi in history, like Liu Yu, is a descendant of the Han Dynasty clan. It is said that he is a descendant of Liu Fei, the eldest son of Liu Bangshu. In addition, Liu Yu, who brought him into the world, was also implanted in Dayu, so he is very popular.
Naturally, it was also implanted in Daewoo.
Liu Muzhi followed Liu Yu from the time Liu Yu launched an army to attack the usurper Huan Xuan, and made the first contribution to Liu Yu's "founding of the Song Dynasty". According to the saying at the time, "After the Han and Wei dynasties, the world was collectively called Zhuge Liang, followed by Liu Mu
"Zhi" is a ranking of famous officials after the Han and Wei dynasties. The first is Zhuge Liang, and the second is Liu Muzhi, who can be called Liu Yu's number one adviser in history.
The combination of him and Liu Yu is simply a perfect civil and military combination. To a large extent, Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi have a tacit understanding like a husband and wife. Liu Yu is in charge of military affairs and only fights in the north and south, and is invincible; while Liu Muzhi guards the rear defense.
, ensure internal stability, ensure supply to the front line, and ensure that government affairs are in our own hands.
If Liu Muzhi has any ability, it can only be said that he alone can control the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the thirteen years from 404 to 417, all political affairs in the world were controlled by Liu Muzhi.
His hands are used to plan things internally, to serve in common affairs outside, and to keep secrets from the military. The Qingrong army serves in distant places, and serves as a defender in the center.
Regarding the role of Liu Muzhi, a poem by Lu You can be used to explain: "Xiao Xiang stayed in Guan and established the Han industry, and Mu Zhi died as the Song teacher." Liu Muzhi can be called the pillar of Liu Yu Group.
"Compared to me, those in Daewoo and Daewu will probably be even more anxious!"
"It's a shame those people came up with that method to deal with Wu Baiqi!" Old Fan Zeng said with a smile.
In his opinion, it would not be too late for the anti-kings of Da Wu to raise their troops and attract Da Wu's troops to follow them.
Moreover, he really admired the anti-kings of Wu. If he could not defeat Wu Baiqi on the battlefield, he would deal with him outside the battlefield. This was truly in line with the essentials of the art of war.
However, when old Fan Zeng mentioned Wu Baiqi, Jiang Chuqian's expression darkened obviously.
