When it comes to the Battle of Fulingshan, two little stories came to my mind inadvertently. It was these two little stories that allowed me to turn the tide at the end of the decisive battle and break the hard nut of General Ruisheng. .
...
The first little story. I saw it in an unofficial history when I was studying half a year before I left. This unnamed unofficial history recorded a very interesting thing.
Approximately three hundred years ago, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, with his holy virtue and spiritual power, led the troops of Wan and Ye, and wiped out the blood of Kunyang. The tiger's army thundered across the sea and swept across the world, eradicating chaos and slaying the unjust. In one period, the sea was settled. After the death of the great ancestor, he cultivated his unparalleled career in civil and military affairs, the country was restored, the spirit of inflammation was even more brilliant, and the virtue was as good as before.
Although Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu unified the world, the world was not peaceful. Wang Mang's remaining forces were ready for restoration at any time and planned to find opportunities to assassinate Liu Xiu soon.
At this time, a descendant of a Longxi family accidentally got the news that Wang Mang's forces were planning to assassinate Liu Xiu while he was on a hunting tour. Without hesitation, he immediately rushed to Luoyang and secretly informed Liu Xiu of the matter.
Who is Liu Xiu? He was the founding king who extended the life of the Han Empire for two hundred years, and was the leader of a generation of great talents and great strategies. After he received the news, he did not panic or cancel the hunting trip. Instead, he set out according to the original plan with great fanfare.
Traveling thirty miles west of Luoyang City, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu saw the great rivers and mountains, and became very interested. He ordered Luan Jia to be stationed under an unknown hill, and he led a dozen bodyguards into the mountains late at night to hunt, and ordered Soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain: No climbing is allowed without orders.
Although Liu Xiu was the chosen one, his road to conquering the world was not smooth. There would be failures and killings. With his own success and killings, his enemies would have failures and hatred.
And once failure and hatred arise in people's hearts, they will become decadent, depressed, and then annoyed and revengeful!
After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he avoided hundreds of assassinations, large and small. That night, Liu Xiu led more than a dozen riders up the mountain alone, which was a very bold and dangerous move.
Going up the mountain late at night, Liu Xiu and others lit torches and wandered aimlessly in the mountain. A dozen cavalrymen around him raised the torches above their heads and shouted loudly, for fear that others would not know their whereabouts. Liu Xiu was stationed at the foot of the mountain. The guards saw Liu Xiu and others on the mountain like a fiery snake, running back and forth in the mountain without stopping.
Some honest people only thought that their emperor was indulging in indulgence, but some wise people had already discovered that their king was using himself as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.
The 'snake' to be lured was naturally the members of Wang Mang's tribe who planned to assassinate Liu Xiu a few days ago.
Some ministers who could think of this were really worried about their Emperor, because Liu Xiu traveled in a light carriage and did not carry many troops and horses. Counting his attendants, there were only less than 250 people. If Wang Mang's remnant army is strong, so even if the army under the mountain rushes to rescue in time, it will not be able to save the day.
This worry intensified in the hearts of some civil servants at the foot of the mountain. However, they still held back their temper and waited for their king to issue orders. They believed that their king, as the chosen son and the great man who unified the country, must have extraordinary abilities. !
At this moment, black clouds covered the moon, and suddenly, on the Wuming Mountain, shouts were heard from all directions, the trees were as loud as sand, and countless people from all directions were killing each other in the direction of Liu Xiu.
The remnants of Wang Mang finally took the bait!
Liu Xiu was an emperor who grew up in the rain of guns and arrows. He was a man of skill and boldness. Facing the remnants of Wang Mang who came like a tide, he took his time and led dozens of cavalry to fight guerrillas in the unknown mountains, entangled with the remnants of Wang Mang.
The civil servants and generals at the foot of the mountain watched helplessly as the fiery snake on the mountain grew shorter and shorter, feeling extremely anxious. However, they did not dare to step forward to rescue it without the emperor's orders.
Less than half an hour later, at the other end of Wuming Mountain, the sound of rumbling war drums sounded. A military general stood proudly on the top of the mountain. When everyone saw it, it was Geng Yan, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under Liu Xiu's command. , behind him were countless troops and horses.
At this time, the red flag was waved on the mountain, and King Liu Xiu issued an order. More than 200 troops from the foot of the mountain immediately rushed up the mountain, and attacked Geng Yan from front to back, completely wiping out the remaining forces of Wang Mang, and completely withdrawing the name Wang Mang. historical stage.
On the same day, after Liu Xiu heard the news of the assassination, he started to formulate this bold plan. He only led a small number of troops on a patrol, and used himself as a bait to lure Wang Mang's remaining troops to surround and kill him. Beforehand, he sent Geng Yan to ambush several miles away. When the remnants of Wang Mang's troops attack, they can march with lightning to come to support and defeat the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.
The authenticity of this story has no way to be verified, but after I read it, I think this story is very credible, because after this incident, Liu Xiu greatly rewarded this descendant of the family and allowed the family to As a force involved in internal affairs, the aristocratic clan entered the stage of history in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and more than forty years ago, they took the opportunity to become a force that controlled the world.
However, this story inspires me more than that.
I was inspired by this story, and sent people secretly back to Lingyuan City before the war, and ordered Wang Dali to lead his army to Fuling Mountain secretly, and defeated the remnants of Jiang Ruisheng's army in one fell swoop.
I can acquire some of the wisdom of the ancients in this life, and this life is enough.
...
The second story is about a combination of circumstances and chance.
Two years ago, after I was in Pingtian, Bozhou, I was ordered by my father to study at Zigui Academy for half a year. During the six months, I studied hard. In a book, I accidentally discovered the secret that everyone avoided talking about. Some information about "Monster Case".
There are very few records about the 'Sky Demon Case' in the book, with less than four lines of text. However, I still inferred some past events from the lines.
Seventeen years ago, that is, in the year 328 of the Han calendar, the twenty-eight most powerful families in the world colluded with each other and rushed to Chang'an, the capital of the empire, at the same time. They fought with another group of emerging families in Chang'an City. Finally, The twenty-eight aristocratic families were victorious. They forced the current emperor Liu Yan to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, and framed the second prince as a "demon star descended from the sky". They killed the second prince and his mother and concubine on the spot. This is a illustrious statement. The Sky Demon Case'.
As for why this past incident is avoided by the world, I think: No emperor wants his scandal to be talked about all day long, right?
In just a few years, I couldn't fully understand the whole story of what happened back then. There were still many things I didn't understand. I thought my father must know the whole process of the 'Sky Demon Case', so I decided to find a night to ask my father for advice.
That night, the moon and stars were sparse, and my father and I sat and watched the nebulae.
After a while, I asked my father, "Father, do you think the stars in the sky are all gods?"
My father, Liu Quansheng, smiled at me and said, "Maybe!"
I pouted and said, "There are too many gods in heaven, so it's not as good as the real emperor on earth!"
My father touched my bun and said sincerely, "There are three, six or nine levels in the human world, so how about the heavens? Perhaps these so-called gods really don't live as freely and freely as us mortals."
I nodded and looked at my father, "Father, do you think that when a mortal reaches the realm of Tongxuan, will he turn into a star in the sky and become a god?"
The father laughed heartily, "I can't give you an answer to this question. My son, practice hard. When you become a god, you will have the answer to this question!"
I shook my head and said, "I don't want to become a god. Since my father said that there are three, six or nine levels of being a god, that means that gods also have troubles. Since both humans and gods have troubles, then why should I spend my life trying to solve it myself?" Are you looking for trouble?"
The father laughed loudly and said, "What my son said makes sense."
At that time, I turned my eyes, looked at my father quietly, and said, "As long as you are born in this world, you will have worries. Farmers hope that the weather will be smooth, businessmen hope that their fortunes will be full, and even the emperor will have worries in his heart."
My father looked at me with interest and asked, "Oh? Where did my son come from?"
I said word by word, "Heaven! Demon! Case!"
After my father heard these three words, he did not keep it secret like others. Instead, he smiled at me and said mysteriously, "Some things, it is enough for you to know the outline now. When the time is right, all the mysteries will be revealed." Any doubts will be easily solved.”
I immediately asked, “What time?”
The father shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't know either, hahahaha!"
I said speechlessly, "Father is teasing me. So, my father deliberately put a volume containing the Sky Demon Case in the tablets he asked me to study, just to let me know the general idea?"
The father stood up, stood up with his sleeves fluffed, and looked far into the distance with his eyes, saying, "What a big ass, what a big shit, knowing something inappropriate at an inappropriate moment, my child, this can easily lead to death!"
I still wanted to know the answer, but my father stopped me. He said to me seriously, "You still have a long way to go. Don't rush now. What you should think about is how to walk your own path to the Five Counties and Pingtian."
At that time, when I heard the words "Five Counties Pingtian", I drooped my head and pouted, "Father, given the current situation, if I go south to Xuanhua County to celebrate the birthday of old Zhao Yao, I will definitely be killed by Jiang Ruisheng." To stop the plot, Jiang Ruisheng is already the only member of the Jiang family. He will definitely bring a large number of experts and troops with him to settle accounts with me. How can he compete with his son Pingtianjun's family background?"
The father narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are the commander and general of Hirata of the Five Counties. How to contend is something you should consider, not me!"
I felt helpless for a while, and then said to my father, "Father, aren't you going to help me?"
My father looked at me deeply and said, "An eagle cannot always live under the wings of its parents. It must soar in the sky."
I looked straight at my father and said aggrievedly, "Father, there are many masters in the Jiang family. If there is something that cannot be won with wisdom, how should I choose?"
My father chuckled, and then said to me very seriously, "If it really happens, just shout to the sky, and the gods in the sky will help you."
If someone else had said this, I would have regarded him as a magician.
But the one who said these words was his father, a father with great scheming and calculation.
After that night, the next day, I found Boss Xia, and with two kilograms of rice wine, I successfully opened his mouth. Although I didn’t get much information, I knew that beside me, except for those who criticized tigers and died, In addition to guarding my safety in the dark, there is also an upper realm master who has always been with me. This person owes my father a huge favor.
So, when the undead zombies appeared on Fuling Mountain, I shouted to the sky.
Sima Zhaonan also came to help.
Looking back now, I really had a narrow escape from death!
