No one knew what they were doing, but Taizu laughed, claiming that he had a plan, and would know it tomorrow, and left and right in panic. The next day, Taizu gathered the entire army, destroyed the camp, cut off the pontoon bridge, and called the cauldrons to sink the boats. He sent the entire army forward and reached the valley.

When they met, Zhang Yan divided half of his troops, leaving only ten thousand troops, and they were all mixed together, so they were wiped out in a battle. Yan killed himself, and the rest of the troops surrendered. Taizu showed him how to arrange it in Yan's stronghold, and everyone began to realize it, so they praised it and said: "Ming Ming

The Duke's strategy is actually based on King Xiang's old strategy and the old wisdom of Lin Huaiyin Marquis." Taizu smiled again and said to him: "You are so wrong. Zhang Yan divided his troops and actually made a desperate move, so it is called Huaiyin's old strategy, but it is actually

King Xiang's old plan: I abandoned the camp and moved forward, destroying the cauldron and sinking the boat. In fact, I knew the enemy's strategy and attacked its weakness. Therefore, it is called King Xiang's old plan. It is actually Huaiyin's old plan. And my husband, how can Han Xin be able to defeat Xiang Yu?"

At the end of the month, Taizu came to Zhending and ordered the fine cavalry from Youzhou to gather. He found that Handan was very strong, so he did not rush to rescue him, so as to gather more troops.

In September, Shao heard that Taizu was coming from the east and raised 300,000 troops to besiege Handan. On the sixth day of the month, Handan was in danger. Zhang Fei led 500 cavalry to help and killed Shao's general Lu Kuang. Xu You heard that Fei's troops were all cavalry.

Knowing that Taizu had arrived, he urged Shao to withdraw his troops and defend Yecheng. When Taizu saw most of Shao's army arriving in the Liang period, he sent 20,000 cavalry to attack Chen Gong's army behind him. Shao's entire army had more than 8,000 cavalry, and they fought hard to defeat the rear.

The casualties were all over and the palace officials were able to escape. Taizu then withdrew his troops and arranged for a decisive battle with Shao in three days' time.

On that day, Shao's army formed a formation and placed the remnants of the cavalry in front of the formation, hoping to lure Taizu into a trap. Taizu was unmoved and instead used his body as bait to lure Shao's army forward. When the formation dispersed, he followed with his white horse.

As the vanguard, tens of thousands of cavalry broke through the formation and defeated it with one blow. Shao's army was defeated, and those below Chang Shi Chen Gong were killed in the battle. Shao, Jushu, Xu You, Guo Tu and others abandoned their carriages and fled at night, but met Wei on the road.

Yue, you said that Yue would be released with the words of supporting the bandits. Yue returned to the camp, drank until he was drunk, and made some grievances. Tomorrow, Taizu will know Yue's words and deeds, gather all the generals, and kill him.

After Shao returned, Yu Qiang cheered up and ordered Feng Ji to be the general shogunate. Xin Ping was in charge of the city defense, hoping to lure Taizu to attack the city and engage in a fight with trapped beasts. Taizu was stunned when he heard this and regarded Liang Qi as a worn out shoe. He ordered Guan Yu and Xu

Huang, Zhang Liao and others led 30,000 elite troops to attack Wu'an, seize Chaoge, capture Liyang, and cut off the southern road of Shao. They then led 10,000 weak soldiers, crossed the Zhang River, stationed themselves in Guangzong, and lured Shao to attack. They then led the main force to confront Shao.

Shao waited for a long time and Taizu did not arrive, so he retreated to Yecheng. When he heard that Guan Yu had gone to Liyang, he was greatly afraid.

Pingyuan. However, with an army of 80,000, they surrounded Guangzong for more than ten days and could not move down, and their energy became increasingly depressed.

In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Taizu himself sent 60,000 troops to attack Shao, and Yu also led 20,000 troops to help. When Shao heard that Taizu was coming, he abandoned Guangzong and headed east. Taizu hurriedly pursued him. Xu You offered his plan to the border near the Qinghe River.

An ambush was set up on the bridge. Taizu was raising his front, and Emperor Taizongren was sitting on a high platform, watching Gao Shun's ambush shield severely defeat the Shao army and kill Fengji. The Shao army was defeated, and all the tribes fled far away, many of them surrendered.

After Taizu overturned the Shao army, he divided the five prefectures of You, Ji, Si, and Qing into You, Ping, Ji, Ying, Qing, Yong, and Si, and merged the nine prefectures of Shaanxi, with Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Cheng Pu, and Guan Yu.

After that, he became the shepherd. Then he entrusted the war affairs with Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui, and Han as his deputy. He took Emperor Taizong Ren back to the north to inspect the spring plowing.

Shao fled eastward from Qinghe Plain to Liaocheng at the mouth of the Yellow River in February. Seeing Zhu Ling, Taishi Ci led the Liaodong fleet to cross the sea and surrounded Liaocheng tightly. He was exhausted mentally and physically and died on the city. You and others surrendered. Jushou

After hearing Shao's death, he committed suicide. Shaozi Tan surrendered to Yecheng.

In March, Taizu arrived at Gaoyang, summoned Zhang He to surrender, and sent him to take over Gongsun Zan's tribe. He worshiped Zan as a guard and left for Chang'an. In May, he entered Jinan and had to kill Xu You because of the border bridge. The rest were pardoned.

After his death, he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Shaanzhou, and the people of Qingzhou were at peace. Then, Gaomi Zheng Xuan was promoted to Taichang, he built a university, conducted scientific examinations, established a three-chief system, and opened Youzhou people's settlements as households, and divided the land among them.

Farming was reestablished in the four prefectures of Hebei, Ying, Qing, and Shaanxi. The stalls were assigned to the land tax. It was said in the world to save the people and was praised as a good deed at home.

For three years, the Central Plains was in turmoil. Jian, Cao, Bei, Biao, Shu, cloth, etc., were attacking each other vertically and horizontally, and the people were in dire straits. Taizu established industry and property in Hebei, and moved the people into villages to create households, and the people were happy. In the autumn, Gongsun

Yue and Gongsun Fan both went out of the fortress and hunted Xianbei in the Yin Mountains. They captured more than 20,000 people and beheaded more than 10,000 people. Kebi was able to flee far to the north of the desert. From then on, there was no Shan Yuting in the south of the desert.

In the fourth year, the Bronze Bird Tower was built on the bank of Zhang River in Yecheng.

In the seventh month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han tied his hair and Taizu went to congratulate him from Yecheng. When he arrived in Chang'an, the crowd was horrified by the ugliness. Wang Yun and all the rebels made a plan to Taizu and reiterated the old oath. Not long after, eight people attended the meeting, and the leader came out.

Fourth, the minister asked to be the general, but he was not accepted. The general invited Dong Cheng, the captain of the city gate school, and the left Zhonglang general to lie down. Wang Bin, the right Zhonglang general, was worried about it. They met in chaos and raised troops to attack the arsenal, but nothing happened.

Seeing the defeat, he was executed. The two sons of the Wang family were ordered to be killed, and they were brought into the palace to deal with Dong and the two nobles. Taizu sighed and said to him: "I have been in the Han Dynasty for several years. Although I started well, I can't finish well. I am already very ashamed.

, How can we do nothing to rectify the violation of ministerial ethics?" Although the left and right responded, it was not worth it. Taizu pardoned Wang Yun and left Gongsun Zan to guard Chang'an. From the general, he conquered Shu. When he arrived at Chencang, he made Liu Yan's eldest son Fan the pastor of Yizhou.

As an envoy, he persuaded his father to surrender; he took Zhao Qian of Chengdu as his disciple to appease the county chiefs in Yizhou; he took Zhao Yun, the Cavalry Commander, as the vanguard to leave Sanguan and strangle the Wudu Road; he took General Gongsun Yue of Zhenxi as the rear army, and together with

Zhong Yao, the herdsman of Yongzhou, was transporting grain and grass. Not long after, the envoys did not return, the rear army did not arrive, and the grain and grass were not collected. Wuwei Pang, an official from the four western counties of Liangzhou, arrived. They all talked about the chaos in the western region, the harassment of Xianbei in the west, and the people of the four counties.

In response to his sorrow, he spoke sincerely, with tears streaming down his spine, and many people at the banquet shed tears. Taizu felt his loyalty and sighed at his sincerity, so he cut the case and swore an oath, and changed his army to the west. Han Sui and Ma Teng were frightened when they heard this.

Teng Zichao led the team for justice, knelt down to Teng, and persuaded him, so he surrendered and worshiped Jinwu as his commander. He then wanted to flee west, but before he could go, he heard that Zhao Yun had dug through Wushan and set up camp on Didao to cut off its access.

, so he had no choice but to go east and ask for surrender. Taizu worshiped him as General Pingxi, and he was the protector of the Western Region. He stationed him in Gancheng to maintain the Silk Road trade routes. He was promoted to the champion general and given the rank.

Liangzhou was established, and Taizu divided it into two states, Zang and Liang, with each setting up a garrison. He returned to the south to conquer Shu, and when he arrived in Hanzhong, the prefect Zhang Lu came back alone, but Taizu still guarded it, and Zhao Yun led an army to garrison.

The general was about to return to the capital, but he suddenly heard that the Emperor of Han was bewitched by the Yang family and abandoned the imperial mausoleum of Gongqing to go eastward. Huben Zhonglang followed him from Jingze, and the Taiwei Liu Yu blocked the Qingming Gate. The Emperor of Han sent his attendant Yang Qi to send his troops

He killed him and fled to Nanyang. Taizu had no choice but to abandon Shu and return to Chang'an.

In the first month of the sixth year, the ministers came to the table and told the story of Zhao Gong. They proposed to add Taizu Yan Gong as military commander of the eleven prefectures in Hebei Province, and to entrust the five counties of Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, Guangyang and Zhuo. Taizu's three words were accepted.

When the Yan Kingdom was founded, three phases, four platforms, six divisions and twelve temples were established. The importance of the seven phases had not been seen since the Han Dynasty. It spread throughout the world and attracted the attention of scholars. People with lofty ideals came in droves, and Ye's subordinates couldn't understand it.

In April, Taizu sent three lines to Nanyang to advise the Han Emperor to return to Chang'an in the hope of being safe, but in the end he found nothing and had no choice but to raise troops. Cao Cao and Liu Bei also joined forces to reject him. Cao Cao sent troops and Liu Bei prepared grain.

.

In the fifth month, Taizu led Xu Huang and Zhang Jiao as the vanguard to cross the river and pull out the white horses. Cao also sent Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 cavalry to Yanjin. Taizu inspected it and personally led the army to hunt, and Zhang Liao's formation killed Yuan. Cao retreated to the south of Pu River.

After setting up camp, Taizu also marched to the north of the water, each with a hundred thousand men, and faced each other in the camp. After staying there for ten days, he thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, so he ordered Lou Gui to guard the camp with infantry, and he rode 40,000 people westward, hoping to

Entering Sizhou, marching to Zhongmou, directly attacking Chenliu, and taking Cao Cao's back. When they arrived at Guandu, Cao Cao had already built a fortress and was waiting. Taizu sighed and noticed that his troops were few, so he ordered the generals to attack quickly. The battle was not over yet, Cao Cao had already

He led a large army to rescue him. When the battle was over, Taizu's army gradually gained victory, and then defeated them, killing them in vain. Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Lu Dai, Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Wang Bi and others all died in the battle. But in the end

Unable to conquer the fortress, at daybreak, Cao Ren led 30,000 troops to arrive. Taizu also withdrew his troops and built a fort across the river to the north. Taking advantage of the strength of the army, he abandoned all the troops north of the Bian River and defended Guandu. Taizu also moved his camp to Guandu.

, the confrontation remains as before. Taizu has been in control of the sea, and the barbarians and the Chou have been suppressed. His army and troops are mostly based on the methods of Sun and Wu.

Those who follow the orders will win, those who disobey will be defeated. When facing off against the captives, the mind is at ease, as if not wanting to fight. However, when the decisive opportunity comes to seize the victory, the momentum is overflowing, so every battle will be defeated, and the army will not be lucky to win. Use force throughout your life,

He has no rivals, only Cao Cao can compete with him.

By mid-September, the war was getting more intense, and Prime Minister Lu Fan's eldest son died in the battle. Taizu heard this and said nothing. Emperor Shiren was not crowned, and all his attendants were working on the white horse. The next day, they all entered Guandu, and everyone on the left and right was shocked.

.Suddenly I heard that Guan Yu crossed the river in white clothes, took down Pi, and defeated Zhou Yu. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard that he had no chance of victory, so he took the risk and accepted Huang Gai's plan and sent him to pretend to surrender. He set up eight battalions in ambush at Wuchao and sent seven troops to hide.

They marched to attack Yecheng. Taizu understood the plan and counterattacked and defeated it. Seven armies marched north, but none of their horses returned. Nine camps in Wuchao were killed and wounded. Cao and Liu's famous generals were all scattered. Cao had no choice but to abandon his official position and flee south.

, was sold by Lü Bu and executed himself outside the White Gate Tower in Wancheng. When Taizu heard about it from Xu, he felt as if he had lost his liver and gallbladder, and was heartbroken. He gave full power to the Central Plains to Lü Fan and returned to Yecheng. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty heard about Cao's death and went south to Jiangxia.

In the seventh year, Xu Shu succeeded in attacking Shu, and Shu surrendered. At that time, Jia Xu was the prime minister, and he and Taizu conducted seven questions and seven answers at the Tongque Terrace, which was later called the "Tongque Questions and Answers". This is the model of Yan Dynasty for all generations.

He is said to be a famous minister for thousands of years.

In March of the eighth year, Taizu arrived at Luoyang. On the twenty-seventh day, Lu Fan commanded the entire army to defeat Liu Bei's army. Bei was killed in battle, and Xiashou entered Luo. Taizu was buried in Beimang as a commoner. Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Shi Xie all surrendered.

, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang from Jiangxia, and the chariot and cavalry general Jingze sank in the river.

In the Gengyin month of the fifth month, Taizu received Han Zen in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. The book says: "I have been in power for ten years and have been overthrown by the world. Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of my ancestors and loyal ministers, I have survived the crisis. However, I look up at the astronomical sky and observe it.

In the hearts of the people, the number of Yanjing has come to an end, and the fortune depends on the Gongsun family. Therefore, Yan Gong has established great achievements in martial arts, and also has bright virtues to respond to his expectations. The number is clear, and it can be known from faith. If you travel on the great road, the world will be the commonwealth.

, select the virtuous and capable, so Yao of the Tang Dynasty did not favor his sons, but his reputation spread to infinity. I envy and admire him, now he follows Yao's canon, and his Zen is in Yan Gong."

Taizu was ordered to fulfill the throne of the emperor and establish the Yuan Dynasty. He warned the officials and said: "Yan Ji has just begun, and I am really comforted. I have ascended to the great treasure, and the honor and favor are the highest. What more can I do with the body of a husband? I thank you all, and shed your blood."

We have followed each other for ten years, and we have been fighting to the death. Hundreds of officials have contributed, and all the surnames are virtuous. The emperor examined the emperor's concubine, and helped the whole family. The two divisions were generous and gave virtue and strength. My brother and my younger brother will never leave. I am the enemy.

My friends, we work hard together. The destiny of man is fulfilled, and man is determined to conquer nature. Three generations of unification have conquered the later generations. The Qin and Han territories are uncontested and strong. Heroes work hard, and heroes raise their arms. China is built, and the country is sustainable. The heroic spirit returns, and the soul is here.

In the second century after Taizu ascended the throne as emperor, he became Emperor Taizong Ren and became the Supreme Emperor. He enjoyed playing with cats every day. He stayed there for ten years and was buried in the Tailing Mausoleum. His temple name was Taizu, and his posthumous title was "Wu".

Zan said: Huan Ling is unruly and has ruined the world. The Han Dynasty lost its deer and was driven away from all over the world. Taizu lost his parents when he was young and started as a county official. He was a warrior in a border county.

If it weren't for his own hands, he would have succeeded in becoming an emperor. Why? It may be said that Taizu was good at military strategy and diligent in military affairs, so he was invincible. However, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian were elite soldiers. They were not incapable of fighting. They died of women and children without any

Taizu's benevolence cannot be extended to his whole family. Or it can be said that Taizu took charge of heroes and was thirsty for talents, so he was able to achieve success. However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both lenient and benevolent to their subordinates, and were praised by the world. Their success in getting scholars was different from that of Taizu. Xun Yu

, Lu Su is not weaker than Lu Fan, Shen Peiye; Cao Ren, Zhou Yu, are comparable to Han Dang and Cheng Puye. Zhang Fei's bravery is like Guan Yu; Dun Yuan's loyalty and diligence seem to be Yue Fan. However, they can resist

Taizu was defeated again and again. As for the third one, the heroes were tied up and the heroes died. This is really sad! As for Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc., they were even less able to do anything. Alas, the world knows Taizu's wisdom and courage, and

I am not familiar with his benevolence. The benevolence of Taizu was not to please the family, but to serve the poor families, just like the imperial examination; it was not to serve as a group of officials, to benefit the people, like to equalize the land. However, the temples are so high and far away, and the system is so deep, they cannot be soaked in for hundreds of years.
