238. Both Xiu He Yu
When Liu Yu heard that Kou Xun was sent over, Long Xin was very happy and immediately asked where he was. Liu Gong replied that he was in prison.
Liu Yu immediately said, "Why are you in prison? Please come out quickly, I want to see him!"
Kou Xun was one of the most outstanding people among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai. He was a capable official in one side, and a good general in the other side, and was equipped with civil and military talents.
How could His Majesty the Emperor let go of this kind of talent? This is the pie that fell from the world. The one God gave him to Liu Yu, so it must be used.
Not long after the two met and talked, Kou Xun said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to your humble ministers, and I am deeply grateful. However, my parents and wives are all in Shanggu, and the Kou family is in my hometown, so the envoys cannot repay Your Majesty."
There is no way, the whole family is in the hands of Liu Xiu, what else can he do? Although Liu Xiu is not Emperor Wu of Han and Li Ling killed his whole family as soon as he surrendered, he will definitely not make the Kou family easy. Kou Xun dare not take this risk.
The emperor said: "If you don't mention this, I will only discuss the general trend of the world with you."
Kou Xun said: "The general trend of the world is still unknown."
"You don't know, but I know."
"What does Your Majesty know?"
It is time to show some real skills and let those surnamed Kou see His Majesty the Emperor's extraordinary foresight.
Liu Yu's face was calm, "Jianwu met Wu, and he favored the north and the south."
Kou Xun was thinking about these eight words when he left the palace. When Jianwu met Wu, did he mean that Emperor Jianwu Liu Xiu was carrying out the conquest? Your Majesty has been fighting in the east and west, and he is always martial. What is the favor of the north and the south? Does it mean that Emperor Jianwu’s two concubines? Guo Shengtong, Hebei and Yin Lihua, Yin Lihua respected him as his respect? There was indeed this trend a while ago. Yin Lihua was humble and asked His Majesty the Emperor to make the Guo family queen, but the one who was really favored was actually Yin Guiren.
Recently, Guo Shengtong's uncle, King Zhending Liu Yang, rebelled, and Guo Shengtong became increasingly out of favor. If her son Liu Jiang had not been the crown prince, he would have been deposed. Now Yin Lihua is the condemnation of the queen.
Kou Xun shook his head. It seemed that Emperor Jianshi was not very familiar with the matter in Hebei. He said these eight words might just be a pretentious mystery.
Kou Xun had a good impression of Liu Yu on the first side. Unexpectedly, although he was young, he had a clear understanding and seemed to be a character. Unfortunately, Kou Xun shook his head secretly again, but unfortunately, only one person won in the end. He Shengyu?
After leaving the palace, Kou Xun did not return to prison, but was sent to a mansion in Shangguanli by Niu Decao. But Kou Xun refused to go in and had to return to prison. Niu Decao was in a dilemma, but Kou Xun was very determined and had to send him back to prison again. He took care of the prison officers and chose a clean and quiet cell for him, detained alone, and served him with delicious food and drink every day.
The prison guard brought him food and said, "Sir, why are you troubled? You can't live in a good house, why do you have to go back to this place where there is no light to see the sky?"
Kou Xun smiled and said, "I'm used to living here."
After the emperor returned to Chang'an, he granted his brother Liu Gong a county on the grounds of his contribution to staying behind. He also appointed Wang Hu as General Zhendong and General Shang as General Mengjin.
The emperor has begun to deliberately win over the generals of Luoyang and secretly divide Zhu Yu's authority. The reward of Ren Shang is to set an example for Luoyang generals to show that the emperor will reward for his merits, so that the generals feel that there is a future in following His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Jianshi was smooth sailing, but Emperor Jianwu was a little worried.
After Gai Yan's death reached Gaoyi, Liu Xiu shed tears for it and pointed at the ministers and said:
"Those who are good at power trust, and those who are good at wisdom depend on wisdom. Juqing is unparalleled in courage and power. He believes in his power more often, often underestimates the enemy, and goes deeper. He doesn't know that those who are good at water drown, and those who are good at riding down. Juqing is too confident and takes it lightly and ruins his life. You should use this as a warning!"
He shed tears again when he said this, "Juqing followed me from Yuyang, led the Youzhou cavalry, fought for the battle, and led the soldiers. He pacified the bandits in Hebei and took over his strength. He was worried about the country and forgot his family, and was extremely loyal and brave. When he was killed at the battle, he was so sad!" He gave his family generously, so that his son could support his title.
Before Gai Yan's death storm stopped, Kou Xun's evil news came again, saying that when he went to Yingchuan to serve, he was attacked near the Qian family. He searched for it for many days, but his life and death were still unknown.
Liu Xiu was shocked and said, "When is it that I have lost two generals? Without the enemy, Yingchuan will be in danger!"
At this time, news came again. The general Hou Jin, who defeated the treacherous, was defeated in Yingchuan and asked the court to send another army to support him, and at the same time, another prefect went to pacify Yingchuan.
Liu Xiu comforted his forehead and said, "Now there are many troubles in all directions, and there are so many soldiers with him? If there are good generals, there are not many soldiers!" He ordered Feng Yi to be the prefect of Yingchuan, to carry out military affairs of the general, and to pacify Yingchuan. He also repeatedly told Yanshi and the Qian family to send heavy troops to escort the Hou's army, and must not be taken by the enemy again.
Feng Yi was from Yingchuan's Fucheng. During the Xin Dynasty, he served as the chief of Yingchuan County and County. He was ordered to supervise the five counties and resist the Green Forest Army. After the establishment of the Gengshi regime, Liu Xiu led his army to capture Yingchuan from Nanyang, but failed to attack the Fucheng and stationed troops nearby. Feng Yi went out to inspect the county, but was captured by the Han army, and was recruited by Liu Xiu.
Feng Yi said: "My mother is in the city now. If I can release me back to the city, I would like to present the five cities under my custody." Liu Xiu agreed and let Feng Yi go. After Feng Yi returned to his father's city, he advised the county magistrate to surrender to Liu Xiu.
Unexpectedly, before Liu Xiu could take over his father's city, he urgently returned to Wancheng because his brother Liu Yan was killed. Feng Yi always stood firm in his father's city and refused to surrender to the Gengshi regime. He defeated the Gengshi generals more than ten sieges. Until later, Liu Xiu was appointed as the Sili lieutenant and passed by the father's city again. Feng Yi immediately opened the door to greet him and was appointed as the chief clerk by Liu Xiu.
Feng Yi not only surrendered to Liu Xiu himself, but also recommended many fellow villagers, such as Qingqi, Shushou, Duan Jian, Zuo Long. These people were appointed as clerks and followed Liu Xiu to Luoyang. Among them, Qingqi later ranked among the famous generals of Yuntai together with Feng Yi.
Liu Xiu went out of Luoyang to cross the Yellow River to comfort Hebei. Feng Yi has been following him all the time. He was Liu Xiu's die-hard confidant. When Liu Xiu was at his most downturn, he personally cooked wheat rice to satisfy his hunger.
Feng Yi followed Liu Xiu to fight in the east and west, and had great military achievements. He was a general who could be the only one, but he never made meritorious contributions. When the generals were competing for merit, he always hid silently under the big tree, so he was given the nickname "General of the Big Tree".
Liu Xiu sent Feng Yi to Yingchuan because he believed in his military talent and used his identity as a Yingchuan person. Feng Yi's troops did not rob or kill people indiscriminately, which was very beneficial for stabilizing the place.
After finally settled down in Yingchuan, Liu Xiu felt very tired.
Now King Liu Yang of Zhending rebelled, Dong Xu Han of Nanyang County was rebelled, Yan Zhong of Yingchuan, and Jia Qi of Zhao Dun rebelled, and his territory was full of beacons everywhere.
Liu Xiu pressed his eyebrows and said, "Don't rebel anymore."
