Chapter 411 The real dragon is not afraid of fire(1/2)

"Mianman Qu Commander helped His Majesty defeat Liu Yang, and was granted the title of Marquis and ate in Songzi County, making the river as strong as a belt, and the Mount Tai is as strong as a country, and the country is Yongning, so that it will be followed by Miao descendants!"

In October of the winter of the second year of "Sixing", a reward ceremony was held in Huacheng County, Zhending County. After repeated pretending to be a god and playing with the emperor's sign, Wang Lang, or Liu Ziyu, no longer needed to breathe on the bronze horse. He turned his back and took the initiative.

The three generals of Tongma, Daqu, dared not touch Liu Ziyu anymore. They had to respect him when they saw him because this approachable emperor had a high prestige among ordinary Tongma soldiers.

Furthermore, Liu Ziyu was extremely generous in his actions. According to his promise, he appointed the three major generals of Tongma as kings, each with one county, the east mountain was deserted and the east sea was the king of Bohai, the Shanghuai was the king of Hejian, and the Sun Deng was the king of Julu.

Liu Ziyu also vigorously recruited and pacified other bandit forces in Hebei, and refused to accept all the visitors, such as Dali, Gaohu, Chonglian, Tietian, and Dazhe, and Yulai, Shangjiang, Qingdu, Wuzhan, Tanxiang, and Wulou, Husuo, etc. The largest ones were tens of thousands and the small ones were thousands. Like the small Qu generals in the Tongma Army, they were all marquises and sent to each county.

After getting the title of king, he had been saying that the time was right and he wanted to kill Liu Ziyu. He tried to kill the emperor and changed his mind. He also said to the other two secretly: "If there is no emperor's guidance, we will not be able to make a real decision this autumn, and it will be difficult for more than 100,000 people under his command to have dinner."

Relying on the autumn millet in the western counties of Jizhou, the hungry copper horse army slowed down a mouthful of blood, and at least it could last until the beginning of spring.

"But what should I do when the green and yellow are not in the spring? Hebei has been fighting in summer and autumn this year, and no one is taking care of the farming work. Although the emperor asked the commanders of various quors to replant grain in the occupied counties, it was too late."

When the three kings told Liu Ziyu about their worries, he laughed.

“It’s very simple.”

Liu Ziyu pointed to the south: "Turn the troops south to get the grain from Wei County and Hanoi."

The bronze horse kings were stunned and looked embarrassed.

"What?" Liu Ziyu saw the reaction of everyone. In the past few years, there has been an unwritten rule among the bandits in Hebei: "It's okay to grab anything, don't touch Wei County."

It was just because they were defeated by Ma Yuan when they invaded Wei and returned in disgrace. The fifth reunion used the method of dividing land for refugees to recruit soldiers. Most of Ma Yuan's subordinates were poor, and even some bandits voluntarily went over to surrender.

Ma Wenyuan is extremely capable. He tried to test the situation in Shanghuai last year, but it was a tough problem and it was not worth the loss.

So Liu Ziyu led them to the west to attack King Zhending, King Zhao, and Tongma followed happily, but I heard that I was going to meet the Wei army, so I couldn't help but hesitate. Now there is not only Ma Yuan in the south, and the Wei army has moved to Zhao one after another. According to the habits of the Tongmaqu commanders, the east mountain was deserted and bald, so it would be better to go north and go to Youzhou to take a look...

But when Liu, the king of Guangyang in the north, received a strong bronze horse, he had already written a letter to support Liu Ziyu in seizing power. He was half of his own. Why did Liu Ziyu force him to rebel?

What's more, Liu Ziyu has been obsessed with the revenge of Geng Chun forcing his father to death in Yecheng. Today, he is just a search for a dagger and wants to use the bronze horse knife to avenge his family.

So Liu Ziyu began to incite the three kings. In his words, the fifth reunion was still thinking about the difficulties of the lower-class people and recruiting refugees, but now, the King of Wei has completely transformed into the spokesperson of the great power and the guardian of the landlord!

Let’s look at the people under his command, who is not a noble family? Geng Chun’s family is the most powerful in Hecheng, Ma Yuan is the great tycoon of Maoling, Guanzhong, and other Hanoi prefect Feng Qin and others, all of whom are official and honored to live in harmony with Tongma.

"Aren't you discussing with the fox and trying to make a fuss?"

Liu Ziyu said this to Sun Deng, who was wondering whether to sell himself and defect to the fifth reunion: "There is news now that the Wei army's Ma Yuan army has seized the Qinghe. This is to capture our retreat and annihilate all hundreds of thousands of copper horses in Jizhou!"

He knew that some people were lucky enough to even win the surrender policy promoted by the fifth reunion, so he made a heart-blazing statement: "The heroes of Jizhou who were driven away by me now went to follow Ma Yuan, and were given the official title of Wei State, and connected them to block the bronze horse. If the fortunes of the fifth reunion were taken to Hebei, they would be accompanied by their disciples and their disciples to the county, can your fiefdom be preserved? They were vicious and vicious, and they could not revenge, and they would not be able to become slaves!"

There are so many noble generals ahead, who have already occupied the position and surrendered to the fifth reunion. What can they get?

Liu Ziyu said to Dongshan Huangtu, who was determined to run away: "Can the bronze horse and the Wei army avoid fighting for a while, but can they avoid fighting for a lifetime?"

Even if they don’t cause trouble for Wei County, the Wei army will press forward step by step and just wander to Yuyang, Bohai?

"Youzhou is barren and can't support hundreds of thousands of us, and the fifth reunion will definitely send Ma Yuan and others to chase us. Back then, the two strangled Chi Zhaoping's tribe and forced him to jump into the river. If we go north, we will be driven into the sea!"

The county fiefdoms that Liu Ziyu generously gave him have now become something that tied up the Qu soldiers.

If the Wei army is afraid of running away, they will always be bandits.

If it is followed by Liu Ziyu, it will become a climate, even if it is just a separatist ruler of Hebei, it will be able to "govern the country with eternal dynasty and the Miao people" to realize the long-cherished wishes of kings, princes, generals and ministers.

Liu Ziyu placed two roads in front of the three of them. Shanghuai Kuang is now a believer of Liu Ziyu. He took the lead in expressing his willingness to continue to listen to the emperor's edict. The other two also expressed their views that the internal battle between the bronze horses reached a consensus.

This year, the momentum of defeating the Wei army to advance north, and then taking advantage of the victory and moving south at the beginning of next year. This is the only way for Liu Ziyu to survive in the Tongma and the bandits in Hebei.

"But before decising with Wei, we must first solve the problem of King Liu Yang of Zhending."

Geng Chun's intelligence was wrong. Liu Ziyu took down Zhending County and cut off the traffic between Changshan and Zhongshan. These two places were already the junction of plains and mountains, with complex terrain and difficult to capture. As the Wei army approached from Taiyuan to the west, Zhao land in the south, and Qinghe in the east, facing the hinterland of Jizhou, Liu Ziyu had no time to slowly waste time with Liu Yang.

Liu Ziyu is now quite skilled in issuing orders, and said to Shanghuaikuang: "King of Hejian, lead 30,000 people to Jingxing Pass in the west. Jingxing is still in the hands of Liu Yang's confidants. He must be wary of the direct surrender of the Wei army in Taiyuan. Even if the Wei army seizes the pass, he will have to block the pass in front of the pass."

He also said to Sun Deng: "King Julu, please stay at Zhending."

Finally, there is Dongshan Huangtu, the head of the three: "I would like to ask the Bohai King to follow me to Yuanshi City, Changshan County!"

The three of them thought that Liu Ziyu was going to go to the army to seize the Yuan family and destroy the Zhending King, but their emperor shook his head and said, "No."

"I want to meet Liu Yang and have a peace talk!"

...

Liu Yang never expected that Liu Ziyu would come to discuss with him in person.

According to the agreement, the two met in front of the bridge on the moat of the city. Liu Ziyu rode alone, facing countless dark crossbows and arrows at the top of the Yuan City, and walked over in a dignified manner. As long as Liu Yang waved his hand, many crossbows could be shot from the top of the city, nailing Liu Ziyu to death!

But can kill Liu Ziyu guarantee that the bronze horse will retreat? Liu Yang's son and family were captured by the bronze horse. I heard that he was still thorough and sent him a letter saying that the emperor took good care of them. Once Liu Ziyu died, the bronze horse would be furious, and he might kill his whole family.

As if seeing through Liu Yang's thoughts, Liu Ziyu was fearless and opened his arms and smiled: "Will my princes and people draw bows at their emperor?"

Yes, although as Geng Chun said, Liu Ziyu was mostly a fake, so it would be okay to kill him, Emperor Sixing was still the monarch of Liu Yang. Even if he met in war, even if Liu Yang was in a dilemma and was in a secret negotiation with Geng Chun, if he could really succeed, betray his ancestors and surrender to Wei, he would be a terrible reputation for surrendering to Wei. Adding a "king killing" to him, then Liu Yang would become the forever sinner of the Liu family.

Liu Yang's face was in a state of uncertainty, and he raised his hand to signal to ask the city head official to retreat slightly. He had two personal soldiers beside him to protect him. Let's see what Liu Ziyu wanted to talk to him now!

But Liu Ziyu said, "The King of Zhao was a country that was powerless and was arbitrarily good at doing good fortune. He even wanted to use the big marriage as bait to tempt King Zhending to go south to Xiangguo to imprison him. I couldn't bear to do this, but at that time I didn't know what King Zhending was thinking, so I could only patrol and hunt bronze horses and get help from heroes."

"Recalling the past, I have no grudges with King Zhending. Now I have married Queen Guo, and you and I have even more kinship..."

Now I'm here to catch up with relatives? It's too late! What did you do early? Isn't it okay to be a puppet in Zhending's bowl at that time? Liu Yang was worried about Liu Ziyu's escape to the bronze horse and led the invaders to attack him, and sneered:

"Your Majesty takes the capital of the ministers and imprisons his family. Now a larger army is besieging the Yuan family. Is this a misunderstanding?"

Liu Ziyu shook his head: "Although I have granted Bohai, Julu and other places to Tongmaqu, Zhending County is complete and kept for King Zhending. Your family members are also treated politely and kindly. I especially love Prince Liu De..."

Liu Yang interrupted him: "Your Majesty saw the Wei army enter Jizhou, and then he wanted to negotiate with me!"

Liu Ziyu was not shy to admit: "Shi said that brothers fight against each other and resist humiliation outside, which means that brothers fight in the wall, but they have to deal with outsiders together outside the wall. The fifth enemy of the country, and King Zhending and I are both the ninth generation grandsons of the Gao Emperor!"

Liu Yang pondered and said nothing. He now felt that he was Han Xin during the Chu-Han dispute, and he threw himself into Wei Sheng on the left and Northern Han Cun on the right. Anyway, the dream of becoming an emperor is no longer possible. It is better to wait for a price and pretend to make peace with Liu Ziyu. Fortunately, the fifth reunion will sell for a better price.

Seeing that Liu Yang's anger had not subsided, Liu Ziyu pointed out the city behind him and said something irrelevant.

"I heard that this Yuanshi City was built during the Zhongshan Kingdom. Because there is Feilong Mountain next to it, it is called Feilongyi?"

"Yes, it's also a Longyi." Liu Yang reminded with malicious intention: "It is rumored that the real dragon can fly here, and the fake dragon with horns on the snake's head can only be sealed underground."

Unexpectedly, Liu Ziyu sighed and said, "Well, there is something I have never told anyone else. Today, there are no outsiders here, so I will give a brief explanation to King Zhending."

What did he say? He revealed his identity? Liu Yang didn't understand what Liu Ziyu wanted to do, but he heard him say, "The King of Zhending should know that the Han Dynasty once had the three great powers of national rule."

It refers to Emperor Cheng of Han, Emperor Ai of Han, and Emperor Ping of Han, and had no imperial heirs for three generations, so they could only adopt him from relatives. This is also an important reason why the Wang family of the foreign relatives took power and even succeeded in the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Cheng of Han had poor sperm quality, Emperor Ai of Han was homosexual, and Emperor Ping of Han had no chance to live to have children.

Liu Ziyu showed a look of distress: "The filial piety was the last heir, and it was the evil concubine Zhao Feiyan who was killed. Only I was the one who was left behind and was saved by a loyal minister and survived by luck."

"But my mother sent someone to force poison to Queen Zhao and barely gave birth to me. However, I have been in poor health since I was a child and followed the academics of famous immortal masters, so I could barely survive. However, the master predicted that the Han Dynasty had six or seven disasters, and I was afraid that I would not live forty-two years old."

"I am thirty-two years old this year, and my life span is only ten years left. I just want to see the revival of the Han family when I am alive."

He was full of nonsense, and before Liu Yang could come back from the news, Liu Ziyu threw out another bigger news.

"Is King Zhending strange? Since I am over thirty years old and have taken many concubines and concubines after ascending the throne, why do I have no children?"

"There is no other reason. I was still the result of taking medicine from my sister Zhao Feiyan when she was in the mother's womb. Although I could practice human rights, I could never have any future."

Liu Ziyu sighed to the sky, tears slid across his cheeks: "After I collapse, the Han Dynasty will be in the four wonders!"

Liu Yang was stunned, not knowing whether he should be mourning or gloating.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ziyu quickly regained his spirit: "But I can have no descendants, but the Han Emperor's Regime must continue!"

"Emperor Xiaowu once said that there are six or seven disasters in the Han Dynasty, and the law should be ordered again. Who should be the descendants of the royal family respond to this?"

Liu Ziyu looked at Liu Yang and smiled: "Fortunately, I have found a suitable royal family!"

Liu Yang's heart suddenly jumped up, could he say...

"That's right, after Chi Jiu, Yang is the main one. I have also heard this folk song. God listens to himself and the people listen, God looks at himself and the people look at himself and the people look at him and the people say, God speaks, and the people say!"

"However, the Han family has its own system and brothers are not passed down from generation to generation. I am the same generation as King Zhending, which is a difficult thing."

Liu Ziyu raised the expectation in Liu Yang's heart, but pressed it back. This repeated, making this person feel itchy and he was already leading the nose away.

Liu Ziyu is one step closer: "So I wish to establish the eldest son of King Zhending Liu De as the crown prince!"

"Ten years later, I will leave King Zhending earlier, and King Zhending will be the emperor. After the crown prince can rule alone, King Zhending will return to him again?"

His son, his is mine, mine is his, so how can there be anything better to return to power? Liu Yang has already fallen into the trap, and unconsciously envisions the future according to Liu Ziyu's promise. He will become the emperor in the future and his son will be the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. It is determined that he will inherit the Han country. The mountains and rivers captured by Liu Ziyu and the bronze horse are all their families.

In comparison, Di Wu Lun was only willing to be a lord for him, stingy Bala, do you need to choose? What's more, Geng Chun has deceived him twice, how could Liu Yang be fooled by this nephew again!

The tumor on his neck was red and purple, and the atmosphere became harmonious. Liu Yang held the soldiers on the front of the Yuan family city and the bronze horse army in the distance, chatted and laughed with Liu Ziyu on the moat bridge, and vowed never to betray him. After the brothers fought against each other, they would work together to defend him from humiliation.

Liu Ziyu said affectionately: "My wife is friendly, like a drum and a zither, and brothers are happy and harmonious. King Zhending, for the future of the Han Dynasty and for our common son to inherit the Han country, must withstand the invasion of Wei Wu and protect the land of Youji, Hebei!"

Liu Yang was dismounted and bowed to Liu Ziyu for the first time: "Why do the family do it if the country does not exist? I am willing to serve your majesty as a good work!"

The Yuan family's city was filled with bows and crossbows, watching Liu Ziyu leave. When he returned to the Tongma camp, he announced that he had persuaded King Liu Yang of Zhending that the Zhending general and the Tongma worked together to resist the Wei army, the people of the Tongma cheered.

Even the "Bohai King" Dongshan, who had always been unwilling to be convinced by Liu Ziyu, showed surprise.

In his opinion, his side and Liu Yang were dead. Liu Ziyu insisted on going over, and he was simply sent to death. The east mountain was barren and bald, so he was happy to see him return home. If he was killed by a hidden arrow, he would be able to escape with his bronze horse and go to Youzhou to be the king of the mountain.

However, he never expected that Liu Ziyu was completely unscathed, as if he had a mysterious power, and had the high emperor who often brought him down. Emperor Wen was blessed and could persuade Liu Yang to surrender. He had the courage and knowledge. He could not do this unless he was a true emperor!

"Long live your Majesty!"
