? Competing for the best, bearing the burden of humiliation and achieving great achievements: Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu
The founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty won the world by gathering heroes, and grew from a commoner to a famous monarch in glorious history. He fought very bravely, which was extremely rare among emperors in previous dynasties. In the battle of Kunyang, he took the lead and led 13 people out of the siege of Wang Mang's 420,000 troops and went to Vietnam. Rushed out of the tight encirclement without damaging a soldier and a rider. The 3,000-man death squad was brought back to Wang Mang's army, and finally defeated Wang Mang's 420,000 army with 20,000 troops, creating a myth in China's military history. & gt From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, many heroes rose side by side, which was a famous troubled time in history. Liu Xiu's opponents are Wang Mang, Wang Lang, Liu Xuan, Liu Pengzi, Zhang Bu, Liu Yong, Li Xian, Chong Peng, Fang Lu and Gongsun Shu. In order to destroy these hostile forces, Liu Xiu has conquered for many years and survived countless times. He is good at grasping fighters; He is good at concentrating superior forces and dividing them one by one; He is good at avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, using the odd and positive, and destroying the enemy when moving; Diligently sum up experience and lessons, and constantly improve tactics; Pay attention to employing people and harmony, and let the soldiers under their command give full play to their talents. Where there is a will, there is a way, and eventually the world will be pacified, so Liu Xiu is the emperor who fought the most wars in the history of China. & gt In 6th BC, Liu Xiu, a descendant of the Western Han Dynasty royal family, was born in Jiyang (now Lankao, Henan). He is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and comes from the line of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Emperor Han Jing called his concubine Ji Cheng at night. Ji Cheng doesn't know why, and refuses to go, so he asks Tang Er, the servant girl, to do it. At that time, Emperor Han Jing was drunk. Fortunately, he had sleepy eyes, so Liu Xiu was born. Time has passed, and the status of Liu Xiu's ancestors has been declining. From Wang to Liehou, to his parents, he is just a small official like Jiyang county magistrate. In AD 3, Liu Xiu's father died, and his family returned to their hometown of Nanyang and became ordinary civilians. For young Liu Xiu, the descendants of the royal family are just a legend, and they didn't enjoy their blessings at all. & gt In AD 22, there was a great famine in Nanyang County, and people were hungry and cold. People can't survive any longer, and many people have defected to the rebels. 28-year-old Liu Xiu and his younger brother Ada took advantage of clan power to fight and unite with outlaws who entered Nanyang. Liu Xiu was not conspicuous in the uprising army at first, but he stood out in the famous Kunyang War. In 23 AD, the outlaw hero grew to100000, and Liu Xuan, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, was made emperor with the title of "Start over". The insurgents sent the main force to besiege Wancheng, and at the same time sent Wang Feng, Wang Chang, Liu Xiu and other 20,000 troops to the north, and even Kunyang (now Yexian), Dingling (now Yancheng West), Yancheng County (now Yancheng South) and other places to seize a lot of materials and supply the troops around Wancheng. Chang 'an, the capital of Wang Mang, was greatly threatened. Fearful, Wang Mang sent Wang Yi and Wang Xun to assemble 420,000 elite soldiers from various counties, claiming to be millions, and went straight to Kunyang. Only 89,000 people guard the hero city in Greenwood. Seeing that Wang Mang's army was unstoppable, most generals advocated evacuation. But at this time, avoiding the enemy, the main force attacking Wancheng was exposed to the enemy. & gt when you cross the sea, you show your true colors. At the critical moment of rewriting history, Liu Xiu persuaded the generals to stick to aid Korea with calm analysis and foresight, and rode out of the city overnight at a rate of 13 to mobilize reinforcements in Yanxian and Dingling. Wang Yi and Wang Xun, relying on the strength of many people, refused to listen to the suggestion of canceling the siege of Wanhe and letting the defenders escape. They threatened: "Millions of troops will be destroyed if there are too many. Today, we will slaughter the city, wyndell dichinson will move forward, and we will dance before this song. " "They stormed, rushed into the city, dug tunnels to attack the city, and climbed the city with ladders. However, Kunyang City is small and strong, not to mention that the trapped animals are still fighting, and the people guarding the city are cornered and rise up against it. Wang Yi and Wang Xungan were in a hurry to attack the city. On the first day of June, Liu Xiu led nearly 10,000 people to rescue Kunyang, and more than 1,000 vanguard troops were arrayed four or five miles away from Wang Mang's army. Wang Xun sent thousands of men to the war. Liu Xiu personally wielded a knife and entered the enemy line, and his soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, killing more than a thousand people and repelling Wang Mang's army. & gt At this time, resourceful Liu Xiu lied about the defeat of Wancheng, and shot at the city and Wang Mang barracks, encouraging the troops in the city to stick to it while shaking Wang Mang's morale. Then, Liu Xiu led a death squad of 3,000 people, secretly crossed the Kunshui River (now the Hui River in Yexian County), detoured to the side of Wang Mang's army, and attacked the camps of Wang Xun and Wang Yi. Wang Yi and Wang Xun thought that the rebels were vulnerable and ordered the battalions not to act without authorization, leading ten thousand people to battle. The two armies fought fiercely, and Liu Xiu led the elite soldiers to fight bravely, and Wang Yi and Wang Xunjun were in chaos. However, due to Wang Yi's prior orders, no one dared to go to the rescue, which led to the rout of Wang Yi's army, and Wang Xun became a ghost under the sword. Kunyang defenders took advantage of the situation to fight out, attacked from inside and outside, and Wang Mang troops fled for their lives. At this time, it suddenly rained heavily, the river surged and tens of thousands of people waded and drowned. Wang Yi only led thousands of people to flee to Luoyang. In this way, it created a miracle that 20,000 defeated 420,000. & gt However, instead of being promoted, Liu Xiu, the greatest hero of the Kunyang War, fell into great danger. It turned out that his younger brother Ada, whose popularity was increasing, was suspected and rejected, and was killed by Liu Xuan, the new emperor. Liu Xiu, who led the troops out, knew that she was lonely, and she endured grief. She took the initiative to return to Wancheng to apologize and bear the burden of humiliation. Instead of holding a funeral for her brother, she married Yin Lihua, who had been in love for many years. After her wedding night, she eats and drinks every day, which looks like a real carpe diem. Assure him that he is only Wan's younger brother, so he can avoid being killed. Liu Xiu, who tried to avoid the disaster, forced a smile during the day and wet her pillow with tears at night. He deeply understands that to achieve great things, he must learn to be patient. & gt After Wang Mang's regime was overthrown, the world was still in chaos, and the patient Liu Xiu finally won the opportunity of independent development: Liu Xiu was named "Anzhou County, Beidujiang River" as a fu. However, Liu Xiu just found a feeling in Hebei. Wang Lang proclaimed himself emperor in Handan, and his power was in full swing. Widowed and featherless, Liu Xiu was forced to flee everywhere and fell into the Jedi several times. However, Liu Xiu once again stood the test. What Liu Xiu did made people see the hope of world stability, and many heroes defected to him. All these people can be good at fighting, be wise and brave, and lead their own troops to be loyal to Liu Xiu, who has gained a firm foothold in Hebei. Destroy Wang Lang's forces in one fell swoop and remove the biggest obstacle to occupy Hebei. On August 5th, AD 25, on an earthen altar in the south of Maoxian County (now Baixiang County, Hebei Province), with the strong support of all the generals, Liu Xiu announced that he was proclaimed emperor and built Jianyuan Jianwu. Maoxian County was renamed Gaoyi County, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was formally established. This year, he was only 3 1 year old. . Before he proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Xiu destroyed the ministries of Wang Lang and Hebei, but the area he actually controlled was only most of Hebei today and some surrounding areas, neither the strongest force nor the largest area. & gt In June of the first year of Jianwu (AD 25), shortly after Liu Xiu ascended the throne, the army went straight down and surrounded Luoyang. Zhu Bishan, who stuck to Luoyang, participated in the plot to assassinate Ada. Under the condition that Liu Xiu swore not to be enemies by the Yellow River, Zhu Bi led all guarding city troops to surrender to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiubing let 300,000 people in Luoyang surrender without fighting. After the occupation of Luoyang City, Liu Xiu worshipped Zhu Bi as Emperor Pingdi and Fugou Hou. In the second year of Jianwu (AD 26), Liu Xiu built an ancestral temple in Luoyang. There is a millet altar on the right side of the ancestral hall. Liu Xiu thinks the Red Eyebrow Army is a threat. He first sent Deng Yu and Feng Yi to fight Red Eyebrows, forcing Liu Pengzi to lead millions of people to surrender. Solved the main force of the red eyebrow beside the couch, successively crusaded against Liu Yong and settled in Hebei, wiped out Xiao Wei, which was in a state of constant turmoil, leveled Gongsun Shu, and unified China in the 13th year of Jianwu (AD 37). & gt
