History books say:

The King of Han conquered the Central Plains, and all the feudal lords persuaded him to enter, but King Dian of Yan did not know, Yu Junfan, governor of Qianzhong, Huai Xin, governor of Shangjun, Chen Jiang, governor of Jibei, Liao Qinghui, governor of Hejian, Gu Qian, governor of Yuyang, Ye Xiongguan, governor of Hanzhong County, Yu Liang, the prefect of Bashu, all went up and said: "Your Majesty the King of Han, the first dynasty has been in ruins for a long time. Emperor Min Yongchi wanted to establish it but failed. He was unable to benefit the community, so the people lost their homes, and Kyushu was in a state of chaos. Now the King of Han is in North Ding Xiaorong, Nanping In troubled times, to bring peace to the people, may Your Majesty bless the world with great virtues, and be honored as the Emperor."

The emperor pushed again, and all the princes urgently asked: "If the King of Han does not have the title of emperor, the world will be miserable."

The emperor said: "If you are all people in the world, you can."

So all the princes and ministers will wait for 200 people, and on the good day of the first month of the month, they will be honored.Emperor Jihuang was located in the city of Shangjing, the country was named Dahan, and the reign was named Qiyuan. Shangjing was designated as the central capital and Yuyang as the western capital.Respecting his adoptive father Lu Mouzhong as King Zhao of Han, his righteous brother Lu Dequan as Duke Ling of Han, and his father Gu Ben as Duke Tianqi.Zunshi Zijiang is the crown prince, and the concubine is Mrs. Tianqi.

The edict said: "Yan Wang Dian didn't know that he and his younger brother and sister fought with me in armor. They first established the land of Rong and then conquered the Central Plains. The king is the son of the king of Yan. From now on, there will be land of Yan but no land of Rong, and there will be a king of Yan but no king of Rong."

He also said: "The general who conquered the South and the prefect of central Guizhou, Yu Junfan, used the soldiers of Bashu in central Guizhou to assist the land of Han, conquer the capital, conquer the world with great achievements, and be named Taiwei king."

King Ruyin and King Guangping heard that the emperor had ascended the throne and presented a congratulatory form.

At that time, Liao Yong, the king of Jiangqu, was critically ill and did not submit a congratulatory form.On the day the emperor ascended the throne, King Jiangqu died in the palace. The next day, his son Liao Quji succeeded him as King Jiangqu.

Yaoyang is in the sky, as if to witness a new era.

The enthronement ceremony has no gorgeous pomp, but has a vast and magnificent formation.

Gu Ao was not like many emperors in the previous dynasty, surrounded by many officials, wearing luxurious and elegant purple shirts, and walking up the steps covered with red carpets; In the eyes, wearing a bright yellow dragon-patterned battle robe, he climbed to the top of Shangjing, followed by his favorite generals and important ministers.

Why not respect purple, but wear a yellow robe to ascend the throne?Gu Ao said: "Purple is the color of wealth and honor. It wears away the will. The previous dynasty lost the world because it didn't know the poor and the humble. I raised my army in the fields. The world is based on the field. From now on, this dynasty will respect the yellow of the earth and the brown of the field."

The enthronement of the former emperors always wanted to show their grandeur, but Gu Ao's enthronement ceremony was chilling and cold, with heavy armor.

The armor under the city is shining toward the sun, and the golden scales have been opened. At a glance, there are layers upon layers, shining brightly and dazzlingly - that is the battle armor.

The flag is fluttering, the wind is strong, the sky is open, the sky is cloudless, and it is as clear as washing—that is the battle flag reflected in the sky.

There is no soft silk music, but there is a rumbling snare drum.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of booming, one after another, shook the imperial city. It was the clarion call for the Iron Army to conquer the world.

When Gu Ao ascended the throne, he also paraded troops on the city tower.

The iron horse soldiers under the city are as powerful as the wind, and the nine dragons circle the sun on the ancient bright yellow battle robes. When they climbed to the top of the tower, all the Han troops burst into overwhelming shouts:

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The voice contained the excitement of going to the battlefield. This enthronement ceremony has already buried a dynasty as a memorial, and next, it will wipe out another king.

After the review, these soldiers who participated in the enthronement ceremony and were the first to be reviewed by the new emperor will set off for Jiangqu. What awaits them is the final battle for unification of the world.

The army of Pingjiang Qu, with Taiwei Wang Yu Junfan as the commander, and Liao Qinghui as the deputy commander, will set off on the same day.

The army passed Ruyin, and the king of Ruyin descended;

The army passed through Guangping, and the king of Guangping surrendered; he labored the army with three thousand stones, food and grass, and was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping.

The Han army marched for more than a month, as far as Jiangqu.

Liao, the king of Jiangqu, went to Jixin to wear filial piety and went into battle in armor.He stood on the pass, looking towards the wind, looking at the Han army coming from afar.Today, Liao Quji's chin is covered with a thin beard, compared to Gu Ao who became king when he was young, he is not young now.The vigor of his youth has long since dissipated, but now he has a sense of powerlessness that fills his whole body.

I still remember that when my father passed away, I told him to sit in front of the bed.Since Liao Yong was defeated by Yong Chi, he has been getting old day by day. His old age has quickly eroded his body. Liao Quji couldn't bear to watch him, so he could only lower his head.

Liao Yong patted the back of his son's hand, and said, "Quiet... Quji, the father was wrong after all. Alas, it was the father who delayed you. The situation has changed drastically in the past 20 years, and what the father thinks... But it always stopped at the time of the battle between King Cheng and King Qin. Today, in the turbulence of the four seas, the changes are so dramatic that it has already changed beyond recognition. The boy of the Yong family became emperor, and he didn't realize that he was a father... Hehe... until Gu Ao A boy from a humble family background is about to become emperor, and he just woke up from a dream for his father..." Liao Yong's white hair was sluggish, his face was wrinkled like a knife, and his eyes showed the vicissitudes of life.

"Father..." Liao Quji said in tears.

Liao Yong smiled wryly and shook his head: "This world...is not the world that it was when King Cheng and King Qin won the trip...nor is it the world of the past 200 years...this is not the world of princes, but the world of common people. Otherwise, Yu That kid Jun Fan killed his uncle, why didn’t everyone in the world despise him, and some people admired him? Because the resentment in the hearts of the common people in the world has been suppressed for too long... It is only recently that I figured it out as a father... The Liao family has So what about Shanyun Academy, even if the Liao family has a reputation all over the world... that Gu Ao..."

Liao Yong coughed, and Liao Quji hurriedly breathed for Liao Yong. He looked at his father anxiously, but Liao Yong waved his hand and continued:

"...that Gu Ao... held high the banner of pacifying the world and the common people, pacified the Rong, won the Beidi racecourse, and proposed to open the imperial examination, divide the land, and build a high house-everyone in the world yearns for it! How many students in Shanyun Academy go there? How many voted for Gu Ao? Look at it this way, I keep you in Jiangqu, and don’t let you go to Beidi, and I don’t let you go to the capital. After all, it’s absurd. The big waves are engulfing, but only those who ride the tide can stand on the top of the waves. As a father, he is stupid, and he still thinks about the way that the princes fought for hegemony in the past. For the father's sake, the rivers and channels are rich, and there are Shanyun Academy, literati and refined scholars, I I also know that people are good at responsibility, and Jiangqu is also thriving. Compared with Yongchi, who colluded with the Rong people, the Liao family still has righteousness. A fisherman's profit. But I forgot, if a snipe fights with a clam, I can benefit naturally, but if a tiger fights with a lion, if a man stands on the side, he still wants to gain ? It would be nice not to be bitten by tigers and lions! But the one standing aside and watching the lions and tigers fight is me!"

Liao Yong shook his head, the corners of his mouth were wrinkled, and there was a self-deprecating smile: "The ancients said that when a person is about to die, his words are good. What I said today are all sincere words. I understand it. They are better than me. He saw that the poor family would soon become powerful, so when he made peace with me in Yingchuan, he killed Lu Mouzhong. After encircling and suppressing Gu Ao, he failed, and led his troops to conquer Hanzhong, determined to kill the poor family. Leader; hey, I don't even have the eyesight of this kid... and that old man Lu... old man Lu! Hey, that old man, I used to laugh at him, he's a sycophant! But it's just such a sycophant , hold the imperial examination in Hanzhong... and see farther than me."

Liao Yong raised his hand and stroked Liao Quji's head: "After my father leaves, Jiang Qu will be handed over to you."

Liao Quji had tears in his eyes, and he asked unwillingly: "What does the king mean, that I should surrender?"

Liao Yong sighed: "I can't control it any more. You are the one who decides what's going on between you guys. I'm dizzy and my eyes are blurred. Let me take a rest."

Liao Quji said: "Yes."

Liao Quji didn't expect that after his father fell asleep, he never woke up again.Then, he became the king of Jiangqu.

After the funeral was completed, the father and king were buried, and the Han army had already marched to the border of Jiangqu.

Liao Quji's generals who entered the camp had no fighting spirit, and they had no good strategy in calling for counselors.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, so...

Only drop, have to drop.

But he still wants to ask for a higher price.Hence the confrontation between the two armies at this time, he wrote a long letter to Yu Junfan and Liao Qinghui.It is said that the Han army killed a lot in the north, and as the people of Jiangqu, I had to fight, but considering the friendship with Gu Ao in the academy and the kindness of saving Gu Ao, I couldn't bear to fight, and was in a dilemma.

Three days later, Liao Qinghui, the deputy commander of the Han army, personally came to Liao Quji's place as an envoy, and gave Gu Ao's autographed letter to Liao Quji.

The conditions are neither lenient nor harsh:

First, the honorary title of King Jiangqu can be maintained; but King Jiangqu wants to enter the capital to open a mansion for a long time, he can make friends freely, entertain guests, and he can also enter the court as an official, but he cannot leave the capital.

Second, the trilogy of King Jiangqu cannot be kept, and should be handed over to Liao Qinghui to take over and be incorporated into the Han army.

Third, the family property of the Liao family can still stay in Jiangqu without being confiscated, and the Liao family can still serve as officials in Jiangqu, but they must obey the appointment of the King of Han.

Fourth, the land that belongs exclusively to the king of Jiangqu must be dedicated to the imperial court, and the land shall be divided.The land of other aristocratic families in Jiangqu kept a part of it for self-planting, and the rest was handed over to the imperial court and distributed equally to farmers.

Fifth, the monopoly of salt and iron was brought back to the imperial court.

Liao Quji didn't want to agree to such a condition, but the army of tigers and wolves entrenched outside, Jiangqu's army was just a flock of sheep.Why let the Han army make meritorious deeds and enjoy the killing?When the time comes, the Liao family will be wiped out, and I'm afraid they won't end well.

How could he not know what Gu Ao did in the north?

If you attack one place, it will be empty, and if you go to the next city, there will be no more men in the city. How can you fight him? !

King Ruyin and King Guangping surrendered because of this.

He only stayed in Beijing for a few days.

Gu Ao had only 30 troops when he first fought against Yongchi, but half of them were lost in the battle. Every place was reorganized and replenished extremely quickly. 50 infantry, 30 cavalry, known as a million-strong army, is just outside the bounds!

The food and grass that Gu Ao might have lacked in the past have also been greatly supplemented by the restructuring of the counties in the Northland.

The last weakness of the Han army is gone.

Can't fight anymore, can't fight.

Liao Quji understood that Gu Ao had reversed the principle of suppressing bandits taught by Shanyun Academy, used it himself, and became a bandit himself.

But now that the bandits have the merits of garrisoning fields and guarding borders, opening imperial examinations, pacifying common people, equalizing land, and pacifying Rong—no one can suppress them anymore.

No one can beat it.

The next day, Liao Quji submitted a form, agreed to all the conditions, and surrendered to the new dynasty.Before leaving, Liao Quji took a step-by-step look. In the end, he got into the carriage with a few entourages and headed to Shangjing under the escort of the Han army.

The curtain of the car fell, and the wind and sand no longer blinded the eyes. Liao Quji buried his face deeply in his sleeve.
