Liu Xiu arrived in Kanto with a group of brothers who were willing to follow him.
A group of people from Nanyang County were naturally unfamiliar with the place when they came here. At this time, the importance of study tours and reputation became apparent.
After the introduction of his classmates and friends, and the fact that Liu Xiu had a reputation for being brave, good at fighting, and loyal and benevolent in the world, he successfully met the Marquis of Anyang in Anyang, Hebei.
Liu Xiu is no longer the farm boy he was back then. After experiencing so much, he is now a real hero, and he is the kind of person with almost no shortcomings. From his personal morality to his martial arts and martial arts, he is admirable.
As soon as Anyang Hou chatted with Liu Xiu, he said with emotion: "The Junhou is the descendant of the Liu family. Please follow me to see the Yinghou. If you can get Yinghou's approval, your great wish will go smoothly."
Yinghou!
Liu Xiu's heart was shocked. This was one of his main goals when he came to the five states of Guandong. The only one he could be sure of was the Jinling Lieutenant who would not watch the Han Dynasty perish.
Moreover, the relationship network of the Yinghou is extremely strong, especially for a turtle like Lu who is shy. Without the lead of the Yinghou, it is impossible to get out.
Liu Xiu of Zhaogong was not prepared to meet him because he felt that it was impossible for Zhaogong to take action, and the Yinghou was extremely crucial.
Although the Yinghou State was greatly influenced by the Zhao Dukedom, it was a semi-independent princely state after all. As long as the Zhao Dukedom was not bound to destroy the Han Dynasty, the Yinghou State did not treat the Han Dynasty any differently from other princely states.
Luo Zhong did not expect that Marquis Anyang would bring a Han clan member, and a famous Han clan clan member. The meaning of this was too obvious.
Marquis Anyang wanted to support a descendant of the Liu family who was capable of equalizing the world and restore the Han Dynasty.
He couldn't help but think of what Lu Hou said, "Waiting for a descendant of the Liu family who upholds the destiny!"
What is destiny?
Nobody knows.
The one we choose is the one destined by destiny.
These top princes of the Han Dynasty made the same choice when faced with the same situation.
Luo Zhong did not ask those general questions, but said: "Uncle Wen, when you were studying in Zhaocheng, I remember that you supported Wang Mang's restructuring and confiscation of powerful lands. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
Liu Xiu was originally excited because he saw Luo Zhong, but he instantly felt depressed after hearing this.
After a long time, he said: "In the past, I saw that there were powerful and lawless people in the world, and there were people who resisted, but they were weak and weak, so I thought that the powerful and powerful must be eradicated.
But the world I see now is that the people are withering like autumn leaves. The number of people who died in the war far exceeds those who died because of the exploitation and oppression of the powerful and officials.
What will happen if the world continues like this?
With a population of tens of millions, how many can be left?
Mountains made of bones, rivers made of blood, all the horrific images and tragedies that people can and cannot imagine will appear in front of me, and they will erode my inner conscience all the time.
The sages said that no matter what situation a person reaches in this life or what kind of blow he encounters, he should never abandon two things, that is conscience and ideals.
I was probably wrong before and now I have to correct it.
Powerful people are not beasts like water and fire. As long as they can be controlled, who can say that powerful people will definitely be harmful to the world?
How many of our heroes come from wealthy families?
Just don't let it expand to a terrifying level. "
Luo Zhong did not comment after hearing this, but pointed directly at Liu Xiu's heart and asked: "Emperors in the past dynasties would rather pay the price to suppress the powerful. Now you want to compromise with the powerful. If the past emperors of the Han Dynasty know about it, they will definitely think that you are like this." It’s unworthy.”
After hearing these words, Liu Xiu calmed down, "What is the purpose of suppressing powerful people?
Is it to suppress the powerful to suppress the powerful?
Who will bear the price paid?
Are they ordinary people?
Then the price they paid was enough.
Let the world settle down first, this must also be what the people want.
As for the evil tyrants, it will probably be easier for them to succeed once the world is stabilized and they govern one place at a time. "
It's easy to say it will be done in one place, but it will be difficult to do it by then.
Luo Zhong looked at Liu Xiu deeply. There are two kinds of things in this world.
One is that the merits are eternal, but the sins are contemporary. This kind of thing is always not worth promoting.
The other kind is beneficial in the present, but if the descendants are unworthy and cannot be consistent in the future, there will be disasters. This kind of thing needs to be judged by the benevolent and the wise.
But there is no doubt that having the ability to soothe the present is already rare among people, and having a benevolent heart is even rarer.
"Go see Lu Hou."
…
The relationship between the feudal lords in Guandong is complicated. Now Liu Xiu finally understands why the five states are also called the five clans. He almost went to one family, got recognition, and then got a letter of introduction and went to the next family.
In terms of power, these feudal families are not considered top-notch, but they have been here for so many years and have so many old relatives and relatives that their voices in the counties are far beyond what those ordinary powerful families can compare with.
Many of these princely families are related by marriage to the Confucian classics family, and they even have background in the Confucian classics family themselves.
As Liu Xiu left Linzi, he set up a banner in Yanzhou, known as "Xinghan Army", with the red scarf as the banner, and soon heroes from various counties went to join him.
There are merchants with great wealth, there are world-famous heroes, there are scholars full of knowledge, and there are wealthy families who have come to join us.
Liu Xiu was secretly shocked by the influence of the five surnames and seven families. Little did he know that these families themselves were also muttering, wondering if a certain family had personally ended up. The scale of the battle was beyond their expectations.
Liu Xiu's reputation in Heluo is still very useful, especially in today's world. He is the best in the world, and many people aspire to him.
If he were a suspicious monarch, even if he had to face reality, the seeds of doubt would still be planted deeply in his heart. But Liu Xiu was different. He was truly loyal.
As long as anyone comes to join him, he will treat them with courtesy and sincerity.
General Ping Kou, who disappeared in the land of Heluo, actually appeared at the border of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. This was quite shocking news to any force, especially to the King of Jiaodong and the King of Zhao, who felt like they had been stolen. .
Because of this incident in the court, Luo Qi and Wang Mang were about to part ways. The imperial edict for Liu Xiu to be promoted to a higher rank was not delivered, but Wang Mang's was.
After Liu Xiu had thousands of elites, the pressure became even greater.
This is like starting a business. The princes of Guandong gave him angel investment because of his status as a clan member of the Liu family and because of their personal abilities. However, whether they will completely join his ship depends on his follow-up. Performance.
Liu Xiu knew very well that he could be valued by these noble families. The status of Liu's clan occupies a big point, otherwise he would not be considered no matter how powerful he was. However, the Han Dynasty, which has been reproduced for two hundred years, is most indispensable. They are the Liu family members.
King Zhao led his army to attack Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu was not afraid. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Will attacking a large number with a small number lead to failure?"
He camped in Hebei, which reminded me of the battle in the past when the military leader Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army. "
So he led the army across the river. Liu Xiu was not a military leader like Xiang Yu, but King Zhao and Zhang Han were even more different. Liu Xiu continued to harass King Zhao's food routes, but in just a few months, they King Zhao was forced to gather the main force to fight with him.
At this time, Liu Xiu instead strengthened the walls and cleared the country, which began to consume Zhao Jun's energy.
After half a month of continuous attack, the Zhao army was finally attacked at night, defeated in a battle, and the army was directed towards Jiaodong. The world was shocked!
