[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

That night Liu Fu ordered Liu Jing to enter the palace, and the two brothers sat down facing each other, and asked, "Jing Er, I have ordered you to study under Marquis Wu for four years, how can you benefit from it?"

Liu Jingdao: "Don't dare to talk about benefits. Marquis Wu often teaches his younger brothers the way of governing the country with strict laws and lenient governance. My younger brothers are deeply influenced by their ears and eyes, and they gain something every day."

Liu Fu said with a smile: "Jing'er has always been brave, but now he speaks so politely." After saying that, he withdrew his smile and said in a low voice, "If I make you my prime minister, how will you govern the country?"

Liu Jingdao: "My younger brother knows that he is inferior to Marquis Wu in both literary and military strategy. If he is prime minister, he will not dare to implement any new policies within ten years, but follow the story of the early Han Dynasty, and Xiao Guicao follows."

Liu Fu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "Tomorrow morning, I will give you the seal of the minister and the seal of the great general."

Liu Jing was taken aback, and quickly kowtowed: "Your brother is young and hard to convince others. He is also in charge of state affairs and soldiers. I'm afraid it's hard to be like Marquis Wu... I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job."

"If it's someone else, I don't worry about it." Liu Fu said, confirming the matter, "I've been thinking for the past few days that although Jing Huan has both civil and military skills, he hasn't left me anyone who can take advantage of him for ten years. I can accept his responsibility. I have seen all over the court, and there are more than enough directors. After Jing Huan, no one can be called a national scholar. No matter who I use, I feel that it is not good enough."

Liu Jing sighed: "Brother Huang uses Marquis Wu as his rope, so talents are naturally hard to find."

"Exactly." Liu Fu was silent for a moment, then sighed again.The two brothers talked again, and Liu Jing simply stayed in the palace and went to court with Liu Fu the next day.

The mention of Zhou Fa and He Wu in Wang Sheng's posthumous table had a faint thorn in Liu Fu's heart. The two of them were originally princes of one side, Zhou Fa was the original king of Qi, He Wu was the original king of Wei, and Liu Fu was unified. After the Central Plains captured the two, but in order to show the world's benevolence and righteousness, they not only did not kill them, but gave them two official positions.These two are very human, Zhou Fa is also resourceful, and more importantly, both of them are loyal after surrendering. Liu Fu loves their talents, so Zhou Fa is granted the title of General Long Xiang, and He Wu is granted the title of General Pingnan. , Since then, the two have devoted themselves to doing things without any disobedience.It's just that Wang Sheng still couldn't let go of his hostility towards these two people, and persuaded Liu Fu to kill them several times. took them.Liu Fu couldn't help feeling very embarrassed, he had to listen to Wang Sheng's words, but if he was allowed to kill Zhou Fa and He Wu, he couldn't bear it, and he feared that the world would not accept him.If Wang Sheng is still there, this matter can be discussed again, but now he is alone, and Liu Fu has been pondering for many days.

Winter is coming to spring, and in the blink of an eye, the spring of the next year will come. Last week, the court counseled again: "Your Majesty, now that everything is recovering, it's time to use troops. I, Da Yong, have millions of soldiers. I will flatten Jiangnan and unify the world in one fell swoop. I am willing to be a pioneer." !"

Liu Fu was about to speak, but Liu Jing stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to do in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a natural danger in the Yangtze River. This is absolutely difficult. The two armies are at each other, and changes are inevitable, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Turks will not take the opportunity to do something wrong." Chaos. Things in the south of the Yangtze River should be gradually planned, and this is not an opportunity to fight."

"May I ask the prime minister, when will there be a chance to go to war? Now that there are hundreds of counties in Kyushu, I have seven out of ten in Dayong, but I don't want to make progress, but sit and wait for the enemy to chaos. What's the reason? If there is no chaos in the south of the Yangtze River for ten years, I will be ten years old If there is no army for a year, and there will be no chaos for a hundred years, why not just draw rivers with Nanliang and rule?"

If Wang Sheng was still around, he would have said angrily, "This man can be killed", but Liu Jing was not good at words after all, and he didn't have the prestige of the old prime minister. He said to Liu Fu: "Your Majesty, I only have one word. At this time, you must not attack Liang!"

All the officials below exchanged glances one after another, even the dullest ones had realized at this moment that since Wang Sheng's death, the situation in the court had gradually changed.Although Liu Jing has real power and is deeply trusted by the emperor's relatives, he is young after all. Although the emperor has to refer to his claims, he does not rely as much on him as he does on Wang Sheng. On the contrary, the main combat faction headed by Zhou Fa Gradually raising his head, it can be seen that the meaning of the emperor could not be more obvious.The emperor had long intended to go south, but because of Wang Sheng's strong opposition in the past, the matter of cutting Liang was delayed again and again. Now that Wang Sheng is dead, and Liu Jing's influence on the emperor is not enough, whether to go south remains to be considered.For a while, only a few loyal and upright ministers were discussing, most of the courtiers just watched the situation quietly and did not speak.

Liu Fu raised his hand and wiped his mustache on his lips, thinking about it.If he followed his temperament, he really wished he could gallop into Jiankang City today, capture Emperor Liang alive, and unify the Central Plains.It was Wang Sheng's idea to make peace with the southerners temporarily, so Liu Fu suppressed his temper. From the time of unifying the north, until this year, he has not used weapons. This suppression has lasted for three full years, and the fire in his heart has already intensified.China has been in war for a hundred years, and since Liu Fu raised his troops, it took only 12 years to unify the land of China.At this time, the matter of cutting Liang was brought up again, Liu Fu couldn't help feeling agitated in his heart, and said slowly, "I think it's okay to cut Liang now."

"Your Majesty, I don't think so."

Suddenly there was a voice in the main hall. When everyone looked at it, they saw a person come out and said: "I heard that the southerners ride boats and the northerners ride horses. I, Da Yong, started from Guanlong, so those who traverse the Central Plains rely on cavalry. Many soldiers are not familiar with it." In water warfare, if Chen Bing the Yangtze River, this is to use his own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths. This is a taboo for military strategists. This is one of them. Second, Liang Guo is trapped in the southeast. As time goes on, the country will collapse. If we attack it now, so that the people will be united and the officials and people will die, it will be difficult to overcome. Your majesty is wise and powerful, and Liang Emperor is not stupid. However, he is old, and your majesty is rich in spring and autumn. Its new death, when the Lord Shaoguo was suspicious, sent troops to attack him, and he could kill him with one move, this is the opportunity to go to war that the prime minister said, may your majesty be aware of it!"

"Senior!" Liu Jing said hurriedly.

Liu Fu couldn't help but feel a little headache. This person's name was Xue Ju, and he was a counselor in the prime minister's mansion when Wang Sheng was prime minister. Now, even though he was serving in the court, his political views were almost the same as Wang Sheng's, so he naturally stood up to oppose it.Liu Fu looked indifferent and didn't speak, waiting for others to speak for him.

Sure enough, as soon as Xue Ju finished speaking, Zhou Fa said, "In Yichen's opinion, there is a very good chance of winning by sending troops to attack Liang at this time. Why do you say that? My morale is victorious in Dayong, Xinping, and the northern land, while the southern Liang is in a corner. If you neglect the battle formation, you have a two-point chance of winning. When you suddenly send troops, the southerners are caught off guard, and it is difficult to resist, and this is another two-point chance of winning. Your Majesty, the Three Emperors of Virtue and Virtue, has won the hearts of all the people. The southerners are all grateful and eagerly waiting for your majesty, your majesty. Wherever the front of the army arrives, there will be a rush of response, adding two points to the chance of winning. Although Nanliang has natural dangers, if I am now serving as a soldier on the Yangtze River, I will share this danger with them. Although there are mountains and rivers in this way, what is the point? This is two. The odds are divided. If Nanliang defends along the river and wants to hold a stalemate with me for a long time, this is a small place to compete with China. Its national power will not be able to last for a long time, so the odds of winning are two points. The principle of invincibility is known before sending troops, and the minister does not know Why not fight?"

Liu Fu was very excited, and he stood up against the desk and said, "Okay!" Seeing his agitation, Liu Jing became anxious, rushed ahead of Liu Fu, and said loudly, "Don't your majesty remember the last form that Marquis Wu gave? !" He has been close to Liu Fu brothers since he was a child, and there is no taboo when he speaks.Since ancient times, the Tian family hated being held hostage by others, not to mention being held hostage by a dead man. Sure enough, Liu Fu's face darkened, and he said coldly: "I have made up my mind, don't try to persuade me again. I will send 50 troops at the beginning of next month, Chen Bing Yangtze River!"

Liu Jing wept on the ground and said: "Brother Huang!" Liu Fu just ignored and walked away.Afterwards all the officials dispersed, Liu Jing still knelt at the same place, Zhou Fa smiled coldly, and retreated with the crowd.

One month later, Liu Fu sent troops to attack Liang. In order to personally witness the fall of Nanliang, Liu Fu left Liu Jing to guard Chang'an, and ordered Zhou Fa to lead 40 troops to restrain Liang soldiers. ten miles.Since he started the army, he has personally led troops to conquer several times, without losing a single defeat. This time he stood on the river bank, listening to the waves crashing on the reef, watching the flags cover the sky, his chest was full of pride, and he suddenly swallowed the pride of the world.

Liu Fu has never been defeated in his life, and he also won the battle on the first day of the junior high school. Unexpectedly, there was a military report from the rear. They dared to collude with the Turks, lead them across the Great Wall, and use their troops to regain the territory of Han and Wei, while the Turks divided their troops to attack the Yan Dynasty and approached Chang'an.Troops were sent from both sides at the same time, and the momentum was swift and violent. Within a month, the Kanto changed hands, and the north fell apart again.

When Liu Fu heard the news, his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, so he dared not continue to love the battle. After sending out an army, he led his own troops to rescue Chang'an.Guanzhong is the place where dragons prosper, and there must be no loss. Liang Guo took advantage of the situation to pursue. Liu Fu heard that the entire army behind him was wiped out, and he did not dare to stop for a while. Fortunately, Liu Jing defended to the death, and Liu Fu said morning and night , Finally arrived at the foot of Chang'an city before the city was broken. When the Turks saw the reinforcements, they didn't want to fight.

When the two brothers met again, their faces were full of dust, and they were relatively silent for a long time. Liu Fu stroked Liu Jing's back, and slowly said with a smile: "I regret not listening to Wang Jinghuan's words, causing such a catastrophe, and making Zhu Zi famous. Brother, let’s look at it as a brother, and then rectify people and horses, clean up rivers and mountains!"

Liu Jing burst into tears and remained silent.

Despite Liu Fu's words, he was proud of his youth and had never suffered any setbacks in his life. When he suddenly suffered such a big defeat, his heart was hard to calm down, and he fell ill a month later.At this time, Zhou Fa and He Wu had proclaimed themselves emperors. When they heard that Liu Fu was ill, they each led their troops to beat the pass.Liu Fu hated and was angry, but he couldn't get up, so he ordered Liu Jing to lead the army to defend.Liu Jing was taught by Liu Fu and Wang Sheng since he was a child, and he was quite familiar with military strategy, but the soldiers suffered such a big defeat, and none of them had the will to fight. As soon as the two armies fought, they retreated.So far, the Yong Kingdom has been defeated like a mountain, retreating steadily, and it seems that even the homeland cannot be preserved.Liu Fu forced his sick body to meet the enemy in person, first killed several people to stop the deserters, and then gave rewards to the soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army. The soldiers were all excited when they saw Liu Fu coming to the front line, and finally stopped the decline, and fought with the Kwantung people. The country is deadlocked.

Seeing that it was difficult to defeat Liu Fu, the various countries insisted on not fighting, intending to drag him to death first.Zhou Fa even ordered people to compile a ballad about how Liu Fu lost all of the Kanto land within a month, and ordered the soldiers to sing it day and night.Liu Fu was more than strong, but not tough enough. After being humiliated, he fainted on the city wall.

When everyone woke up, Liu Fu knew his intentions, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and competed with them. He insisted on seeing if he, Liu Fu, died first, or their food and grass ran out first.Liu Fu hanged himself by taking decoctions every day, and he persisted for several months. Although his body was shattered and his appearance was haggard, he survived.In the end, the kingdoms of Shandong retreated first, Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became seriously ill.

After barely surviving the winter, in the spring of the following year, Liu Fu was critically ill. After explaining to all the ministers one by one, he called Liu Jing to the bed. When Liu Jing arrived, he saw Liu Fu sitting on the bed, holding Wang Sheng in his hand, and returned Long sword, Liu Jing knelt in front of the bed, Liu Fu smiled slightly, looked at the top of Liu Jing's head and sighed: "I started the army at the age of 17, ten or six years ago, every battle must be won, attack must be captured, every battle must be conquered, vertical and horizontal Central Plains, you can be called a man! Even after the Kwantung land was destroyed, there was no defeat. Therefore, those who have suffered today’s misfortune were not due to war. They really don’t know anyone. I hope my younger brother will take this as a warning and don’t follow me to bring death. Today After entering the Nine Springs, I will face the prince without face, and will bury me with my hair covered. My two sons are too young to accomplish anything. After I die, my younger brother will be Yao and Shun."

Liu Fu sighed, then drew out his long sword, stood in front of his chest, flicked the sword and sang: "Hanzhong opened the Han Dynasty, ask this place, is it true or not! If you want to point your sword at Sanqin, the king will be proud, and return to the east after a battle. The pursuit of death is gone today, but the mountains and rivers are full of tears and clothes. The setting sun is still dusty, and the west wind is filling the horse's space... The setting sun is still dusty, and the west wind is filling the horse's space!"

After singing, with a long sigh, tears fell like rain, threw the sword to the ground, and fell on the couch.Liu Jing hurriedly went to look, Liu Fu's face was pale, his anger was as thin as silk, and he clung to Liu Jing's hand and said in a low voice: "Jing'er... brother doesn't want to die..." Liu Jing cried loudly: "Brother!" Liu Fu said, "Yes." With a sound, he slowly let go of his hand.

On April [-]rd, Yinghuo guarded his heart, the emperor collapsed, Guanzhong mourned, and some people in Shandong also cried.
