A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.
Chapter 58: King Liang: Are you all acting against me?
In the third year of Emperor Jing of Han's reign, the court was well prepared, but could not provoke a war. So, at Emperor Jing's suggestion, Chao Cuo submitted the "Policy on Reducing the Feudal States" to the emperor, once again listing the crimes of the feudal lords and requesting the reduction of their fiefdoms and the return of neighboring counties.
Among them, King Liu Wu of Chu secretly committed adultery while mourning Empress Dowager Bo and requested that he be executed.
King Liu Sui of Zhao was guilty of a crime, and his Hejian Commandery was abolished.
Liu Ang, the King of Jiaoxi, had six counties reduced in rank due to fraud in the sale of titles.
King Liu Bi of Wu disregarded the etiquette that feudal lords should show to the emperor, and despite not being ill, he claimed to be sick and refused to attend court, and was stripped of the commanderies of Zhang and Kuaiji.
When King Liu Bi of Wu saw that the fighting was going to continue at this rate, he thought it was just a slow death and he might as well commit suicide.
He then immediately murdered all the officials below the rank of 2,000 shi appointed by the Han dynasty within the territory of Wu, and openly rebelled with six other kings who had conspired with him: King Liu Wu of Chu, King Liu Sui of Zhao, King Liu Piguang of Jinan, King Liu Xian of Zichuan, King Liu Ang of Jiaoxi, and King Liu Xiongqu of Jiaodong.
Liu Bi conscripted all men aged 14 to 60 within his fiefdom into the army, amassing a force of over 30. He also sent men to collude with nobles from Dongyue and Minyue, launching a westward campaign under the pretext of "requesting the execution of Chao Cuo to cleanse the court of corrupt officials."
The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, which had been brewing for over twenty years, has officially broken out!
King Liu Bi of Wu raised an army in Guangling, established granaries in Dongyang in Huainan, crossed the Huai River to the west to join forces with the Chu army, and dispatched spies and guerrillas to operate deep in the Mian region. The Wu-Chu allied forces crossed the Huai River and attacked westward, becoming the main force of the rebellion.
Rebel forces from Jiaoxi and other states jointly attacked Linzi, which was defended by King Liu Jianglu of Qi, while the state of Zhao allied with the Xiongnu to invade Han.
Although the Rebellion of the Seven States is said to have involved seven states, in reality, the Wu and Chu states played the main role. The other five states were mostly scattered and disorganized troops with limited strength.
Especially in the state of Zhao, the Xiongnu had just been thoroughly subdued by Wei Yu, who then installed the loyal Wei king, Xiutu, on the throne. When the envoy went to the Xiongnu and just explained his purpose, Xiutu beheaded him and sent his head to the capital. Afterwards, a large army gathered on the border of Zhao, which frightened King Liu Sui of Zhao so much that he concentrated all his troops on the border with the Xiongnu and did not send a single soldier south.
This time, the imperial court was well-prepared, with a large army and many generals, including the peerless general Wei Yu.
Under Emperor Jing's arrangement, Grand Commandant Zhou Yafu was appointed commander-in-chief, leading 10 troops to Linzi, where he led the central army and the Qi army to annihilate the four-nation coalition; Luan Bu was dispatched to attack the rebellious states in Qi from the flank.
The Southern Xiongnu were used to contain the Zhao army, so even if the Zhao state rebelled, the situation would only be a standoff, and the Xiongnu would not be allowed to move south.
He dispatched Marquis Li Ji of Quzhou with 5 elite troops to attack the Zhao state while the Zhao army was all in the northern border.
Finally, Emperor Jing of Han appointed Wei Yu as General of Chariots and Cavalry, leading 10 troops. After merging with the army of Liang, he commanded the allied forces to destroy the states of Wu and Chu.
With the strength of the imperial court, it can still hold out even if it is at war on multiple fronts.
After Wei Yu led his troops to Liang, Liang suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Wu-Chu allied forces.
Upon seeing this, he immediately took over Liang Jun's command.
After combining the troops, they numbered nearly 200,000 elite soldiers.
He had never booked such a large account before.
His father didn't have it either.
They always fight against multiple opponents.
Ten times the strength of the enemy, crush them; twenty times the strength of the enemy, overwhelm them; thirty times the strength of the enemy, win; forty times the strength of the enemy, not to be feared; fifty times the strength of the enemy, the advantage is in my hands.
With the two sides now having roughly equal numbers of troops (one to two), tell me how we can possibly lose!
Wei Yu fully inherited Wei Ping's fighting style: no waiting, just action.
After the troops gathered, Wei Yu opened the city gates and led the imperial cavalry out to attack, leaving the infantry to clean up the mess.
After decades of recuperation and exploitation of the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty can now muster 20 elite cavalry.
The 10 troops he brought were all cavalry, plus tens of thousands of cavalry from Liang State, bringing the total number of cavalry alone to nearly 15.
No need to say anything, just go for it!
Led by Wei Yu, the imperial cavalry charged towards the Wu-Chu allied forces.
Many generals of the Wu-Chu allied forces also brandished their swords and spears to fight, but in front of Wei Yu they were like children, and none of them could withstand Wei Yu's halberd.
Slay the general! Slay the general! Slay the general!
One by one, the generals of the Wu-Chu allied forces were killed. In their eagerness to claim credit, they fled faster than anyone else. By the time they realized that Wei Yu's strength was beyond their ability to challenge, it was already too late.
Being so close to Wei Yu, there's no way to escape!
Wei Yu's horse was the best warhorse that the Southern Xiongnu had found with the full strength of their tribe when he was sent as an envoy to the Southern Xiongnu.
This warhorse was jet black and glossy, with its four hooves treading on snow. It resembled a black horse, and its mane shimmered with iridescent black when it flew in the wind.
What terrified the enemy even more was that this warhorse was taller than a person, with muscles that undulated like mountains, and every tendon of its running muscle exuded a steely tension.
What's even more astonishing is the wild flame burning in the pupils of those eyes, just like its owner: unrestrained, flamboyant, and unstoppable!
Using the speed of the BMW, Wei Yu single-handedly slaughtered the generals of the Wu-Chu allied forces, causing their morale to plummet. Wherever Wei Yu went, people avoided him.
This is a battlefield. If you retreat and avoid cavalry, there is only one outcome: being defeated!
On the contrary, the morale of the Han army rose higher every time Wei Yu killed a general, and they followed Wei Ping to charge and kill enemies without fear of death!
Li Guang was also on the battlefield. At first, he simply followed behind Wei Yu. Then he discovered that he couldn't touch a single enemy while following behind Wei Yu. No one could get past Wei Yu and reach him.
Li Guang was frustrated. He had come to earn military merit, but now he was left with nothing.
So Li Guang slowed down and attacked from a different direction, which allowed him to collect quite a few scraps of meat! He became the most dazzling general on the battlefield besides Wei Yu, but unfortunately, Wei Yu's brilliance was too dazzling, like the sun in the sky, making his own starlight inconspicuous.
With the balance of power shifting, the Wu-Chu allied forces were directly defeated by the Han army!
Two legs can't outrun four legs, and many allied troops surrendered on the spot.
When they discovered that surrendering would not result in their deaths, more Allied troops began to surrender.
When the infantry following behind the cavalry arrived, they couldn't even get any soup or water; their only purpose was to accept prisoners.
King Liang stared wide-eyed as he clung to the city wall. He remembered how fierce and fearless the Wu-Chu allied forces had been when he was defending against their attack, climbing the city walls several times!
To boost morale, hold Suiyang City, and then wait for the imperial troops to arrive.
In front of Wei Yu, you're like little kittens, just showing your bellies and surrendering!
Are you guys acting against me?
Yes or no!!!
Thinking that all his schemes had come to naught, Liu Wu wished he could tear King Liu Bi of Wu and King Liu Wu of Chu apart.
His great achievement! His throne!!!
Waaaaah, you guys are playing me! You're all liars!
