Chapter 7 Gu Xiao gets married, the final battle

The impact of this battle is unimaginable.

It's not just the Guanzhong area.

Even Liu Yong in Guandong was completely defeated by Gai Yan, and the Guandong area was completely returned to Liu Xiu.

It can be said that the only people left for Liu Xiu to unify the world are Wei Xiang and Gongsun Shu of Shu.

However, this is not the most critical aspect of the current situation.

Instead, Liu Xiu obtained the imperial seal and the seven-foot sword left by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang.

This is of great significance to Liu Xiu.

With these two things, plus Liu Xiu's current power.

He has already regarded himself as orthodox.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu also made a judgment that was consistent with that of most people of that era.

He sent letters to Wei Xiang and Gongsun Shu.

Want to persuade the two to surrender.

After all, with his current strength, any discerning person should be able to see that Liu Xiu's momentum of unification is unstoppable.

Just talking about Wei Xiao and Gongsun Shu.

It is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Gu Yi did not get too involved in these matters.

Gu Xiao’s achievements are already great enough, and after several years of fighting, he is no longer young.

For the family heritage.

Gu Xiao has to get married and have children.

Population is the top priority of family inheritance.

Only by ensuring the foundation for family inheritance can the influence of the entire family be continuously expanded.

This is also a problem that Gu Yi has to face.

There was no way, Gu Xiao’s younger brothers and sisters had already been brought to Luoyang by him.

But these four people really have no hope of success, so they can only focus on the next generation.

After the Guanzhong area was pacified, Gu Yi began to intentionally or unintentionally manipulate Gu Xiao to lie down, and no longer rushed to make merits like before.

And for this sudden change.

Liu Xiu was not unhappy at all, but was very happy instead.

Gu Xiao’s contribution is indeed great.

Especially this battle to unify Guanzhong.

It can be said that Gu Xiao was the main contributor in this, which was enough to be said to be the main contributor in establishing the world, so naturally the reward would not be small.

Now Gu Xiao has become the Grand Marshal.

If Gu Xiao continues to make achievements like this, sooner or later he will reach the point where he can no longer be promoted.

Now Gu Xiao is gradually retreating.

How could he not be happy?
Emperor Liu Xiu was different from other founding emperors.

He actually has strong political skills and is naturally aware of this.

When he heard that Gu Xiao wanted to get married, he even took the initiative to help Gu Xiao select several suitable matches in Hebei and personally arranged the marriage for Gu Xiao.

This is a great honor.

Now Liu Xiu can be called the common ruler of the world, and he personally arranges marriages.

This kind of thing is enough to go down in history.

Especially on the day of Gu Xiao's wedding, Liu Xiu, as the emperor, personally attended the ceremony to show his preference for Gu Xiao, the great contributor.

Even brought gifts.

Gu Yi has been watching all this.

In fact, he could probably guess some of Liu Xiu's purpose in doing this.

It was undoubtedly helping Gu Xiao build momentum.

He appointed Gu Xiao to Hebei. With Gu Xiao's background, even though he was a great contributor.

It is still too difficult for him to establish himself completely in Hebei, or even help him suppress the big families in Hebei.

He was the only one who continued to help Gu Xiao build momentum.

And only by giving Gu Xiao help can things proceed smoothly.

Gu Yi carefully looked at the several good matches that Liu Xiu had chosen for Gu Xiao. Most of them came from relatively small clans in Hebei.

Pull one group in, beat another, and balance the situation.
This is the mind of an emperor.

"Zhan Hong."

"You have followed me in battle for many years, and I have already started a family. Now that I see you have a family, I feel at ease."

At the wedding banquet, Liu Xiu was sitting in the main seat and looked at Gu Xiao with a smile.

Gu Xiao's face was also flushed at this time.

As a martial artist who started from scratch, everything that happens now is truly a glory for Gu Xiao's family.

No, none of them can be said to bring honor to the family;
——Instead, a separate family tree is published.

Not to mention the Gu family, even looking at history, how many people could have the emperor personally grant them a marriage and come to congratulate them in person?

How could a warrior like Gu Xiao not be excited?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Xiao raised his wine glass with a flushed face and drank with Liu Xiu.

When facing a warrior like Gu Xiao, Liu Xiu did not act like an emperor and he was in a harmonious relationship with everyone present.

"Zhanhong still needs to work harder."

Putting down the wine glass, Liu Xiu secretly glanced at the people present, and then his eyes fell on Gu Xiao again, "Hurry up and give birth to more children."

"I was hoping to have my offspring marry into your family."

Liu Xiu's tone was extremely calm.

But such a light-hearted remark made everyone present stunned.

Get married?

Marry the emperor?
this.
Everyone was shocked, and the several Hebei clans that had married into Gu Xiao's family could not help but feel ecstatic.

Liu Xiu now has only one son.

That is the eldest prince Liu Qiang.

Although he has not yet been appointed as the crown prince, as the eldest prince, this is almost a foregone conclusion.

If I could really marry Liu Qiang.

If Liu Qiang is named the crown prince in the future and can give birth to a child.

That's simply unimaginable.

The other ministers were also stunned and couldn't help but think about the meaning of Liu Xiu's words.

Only Gu Xiao, the warrior, didn't care at all. He only felt more and more honored. He immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Xiu, saying in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then a sincere smile immediately appeared on his face.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Yi watched all this silently and felt speechless.

Is it okay to do everything you can to have a child?

This ancestor of ours is really a pure reckless man.

Fortunately, this is Liu Xiu.

If it were any other founding emperor, he might think that Gu Xiao was trying to stay in power, and he might be liquidated in the future.

Gu Yi felt helpless, and at the same time he couldn't help but become alert again.

As Liu Xiu's power grows stronger and stronger.

He had to start paying attention.

We can never relax like we did before.

The political wisdom of these founding emperors is unimaginable.

Gu Yi naturally understood that it was impossible for Liu Xiu to allow Liu Qiang to marry into the Gu family.

Liu Qiang is the descendant of Guo Shengtong.

It already has the support of a big family in Hebei.

Emperor Liu Xiu was a man who could depose the queen for the sake of political balance. Even if there was a chance for marriage, it would definitely not be Guo Shengtong's offspring.

And Gu Yi can be sure of it.

Liu Xiu would never let his descendants marry women from the Gu family.

Founding heroes have status but do not hold power.

This is Liu Xiu's bottom line.

He would never take the initiative to open this door. Even if a marriage alliance really happened, at most he would only marry the emperor's daughter.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to use the Gu clan, which is about to take root in Hebei, to achieve political balance.

It is also possible that he wanted to take this opportunity to continue to help the Gu family build momentum.

Gu Yi didn't dwell on this too much.

History has changed a lot. Gu Xiao's birth brought forward the day for Liu Xiu to conquer Hebei and unify Guanzhong.

No one can predict what the future will hold.

No need to worry about these.

As Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass again, everyone couldn't help but drink again. But the atmosphere at this time was completely different from before.

Everyone seemed to be influenced by Liu Xiu's words.

But Liu Xiu didn't care about it and continued drinking with everyone.

The entire wedding banquet ended in this inexplicable atmosphere.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Gu Xiao, who was already a little drunk, was taken to the bridal chamber.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then it was night again.

The night was over.

In the following days, Gu Xiao was no longer the same as before, and he rarely went out.

This is what it looks like from the outside.

It's just as he said, he is really doing his best.

But this is not the case.

Putting aside other things, as a modern man, how could Gu Yi not know the harm of indulgence?

Gu Xiao was originally a general.

In this era, these generals will have some internal injuries to a greater or lesser extent.

Today, Gu Xiao is the pillar of the Gu family. Gu Yi must take good care of Gu Xiao's health, so he has been silently influencing his various habits.

And these peaceful days did not last long.

Once again, things went beyond everyone's expectations.

Facing Liu Xiu's letter of surrender.

Wei Xiang and Gongsun Shu both refused.

In fact, Gongsun Shu's refusal was understandable to Liu Xiu and others.

After all, Gongsun Shu really became emperor.

No one would give up the power in their hands easily, let alone the position of emperor.

Moreover, Gongsun Shu was in Shu, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he would naturally not surrender easily.

But it was beyond his expectation that Wei Xiang actually refused.

Wei Xiang sent his son to Luoyang, and he should have known that Liu Xiu was now unstoppable, yet he was still unwilling to surrender.

For a moment, the war seemed to be on the rise again.

After hearing the news, the soldiers immediately asked to fight.

Each of them is like a tiger seeing its prey, wanting to be the first to eat the prey.

Gu Xiao’s example is mentioned before.

No one doesn't want that kind of honor.

But this time Liu Xiu did not act impulsively, but suppressed all the soldiers.

Now he really regards the whole world as his own.

After the Guanzhong area was completely pacified, he had already laid off a lot of troops and did not want to start a war again rashly.

He sent a letter to Wei Xiang again.

It explains the current power gap between the two sides, as well as various interest analyses, in an attempt to persuade Wei Xiao to surrender.

But there were no surprises.

Wei Xiang refused again.

And this time, Wei Xiang did something very excessive.

That is, he actually pledged allegiance to Gongsun Shu.

Gongsun Shu established Wei Xiao as King of Shuoning and provided him with reinforcements.

Wei Xiao personally led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Anding County, attempting to seize Guanzhong!

This time, Liu Xiu was angry!

Gongsun Shu originally occupied Shu and Hanzhong, and now he has merged with Wei Xiang. If he can take Guanzhong, he can do the same as the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and Liu Bang conquered the world!
The war breaks out again.

Although Gu Xiao has gradually retired, it is still unknown how many generals Liu Xiu has under his command.

Liu Xiu made a judgment in an instant.

He sent Feng Yi and Ji Zun to fight against Wei Xiao.

And the result was not unexpected.

Feng Yi and Ji Zun defeated Wei Xiang successively and marched into Longyou, attempting to destroy Wei Xiang in one battle.

But the area of Longyou is not so easy to conquer.

Mount Long was right there, and the Han army could only go up the mountain to attack, while Wei Xiang could go down the mountain.

The results speak for themselves.

——The Han army was defeated.

But the damage was not serious, and Weixiao's army could only defeat the Han army by taking advantage of the terrain.

As long as he chases out, Feng Yi and Ji Zun will counterattack.

For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked.

But in this case.

The Han army's food and grass supply became increasingly difficult.

Luoyang.

When Gu Xiao hurriedly stepped into the palace, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, Longyou and Shu are both easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"If we attack by force."

"Our casualties are probably incalculable. The world is exhausted. If we mobilize the army at this time, we will probably suffer misfortune."

Someone in the hall was saying this earnestly.

Liu Xiu sat on the dragon throne with an expressionless face.

When he saw Gu Xiao walking in, he immediately stood up and his serious expression instantly softened a little.

"Zhan Hong!"

"Come here quickly!"

Without waiting for Gu Xiao to salute, Liu Xiu stood up and walked to Gu Xiao. Without saying a word, he pulled him up and walked to the map.

"Zhan Hong, take a look at the terrain here."

Liu Xiu pointed at the Longyou area with particularly sharp eyes.

Is this a surprise attack?
Although he has gradually retired in recent days.

But retiring does not mean retirement, he still knows about the current situation in the world.

Gu Yi immediately understood what Liu Xiu meant, and immediately controlled Gu Xiao and said, "A place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

“But there are also flaws.”

Gu Yi naturally would not choose to escape.

After all, Liu Xiu's meaning can be said to have been directly named.

It would be bad if I kept running away.

Gu Xiao himself also wanted to fight again. He was a natural warrior, so how could he stay at home all the time?
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay!"

"You are worthy of being the number one general under my command!"

"That coincides with my thoughts!"

Liu Xiu looked at Gu Xiao with a burning gaze and said solemnly, "Zhan Hong, tell me everything you think."

"His Majesty."

Gu Yi immediately bowed to Liu Xiu, then walked forward and pointed at the map, saying, "Wei Xiang is currently leading all his elite troops to a stalemate with our Han army."

"The current situation is exactly like Zhao Han's back then."

"There must be emptiness within!"

Gu Yi pointed to the location on the map and said, "If we can secretly lead the army through Fanxu and Huizhong, we can directly capture Lueyang."

"Threatening Ji County."

"Under such circumstances, Wei Xiao will surely panic and return to Lueyang for support."

"As long as we can seize the opportunity, we can attack from both front and back."

“Great things can happen!”

Liu Xiu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a smile appeared on his tense face again.

"it is good!"

"Zhan Hong!"

He spoke again very directly, staring at Gu Xiao and asked, "Are you willing to lead the army?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Gu Xiao spoke without hesitation, "The seeds have already been left behind, so why should we be afraid?"

"I will definitely be able to accomplish this!!!"

Looking at Gu Xiao in front of him, Liu Xiu's smile became brighter and brighter, and he even directly grabbed Gu Xiao's hand.

"good!".
