Liu Yong was a native of Suiyang, Liang County (Shangqiu County, Henan Province), and was the eighth grandson of King Xiao of Liang (King Xiao of Liang was the younger brother of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, and made great contributions to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms). After Emperor Liu Xuan of the Xuanhan Dynasty became emperor, Liu Yong went to Luoyang to see him, and was named the king of Liang by Liu Xuan, and the capital was Suiyang.
Liu Yong, the king of Liang, watched for a while, and found that Xuanhan ** was in chaos up and down, front and back, left and right, and Emperor Liu Xuan might not be able to jump for a few days, so he secretly recruited troops and prepared to go it alone.
A.D. 24At the end of the year, Liu Yong appointed a native of Peijun (Huaibei City, Anhui Province).Zhou JianAs generals, they successively captured Jiyin (Dingtao County, Shandong Province), Shanyang (Changyi Town, northwest of Jinxiang County, Shandong Province), Pei County, Chu County (Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), Huaiyang (Huaiyang County, Henan Province), Runan (Sheqiao Township, northwest of Pingyu County, Henan Province) and other places, occupying 28 cities.
Subsequently, Liu Yong sent an envoy to appoint the leader of the Xifang (east of Chengwu County, Shandong Province) civil rebellion groupOutstanding(Jiao, surname, read as stirred) as a rampant general, the leader of the Donghai (Tancheng County, Shandong Province) people's rebellion groupDong XianWhen the general of the Yihan Dynasty, the leader of the Langxi (Zhucheng City, Shandong Province) civil rebellion groupZhang BuAs a general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, he supervised the two prefectures of Qingzhou (northern Shandong Province) and Xuzhou (northern Jiangsu Province), so he dominated the East.
A.D. 25Around November, Liu Xuan surrendered to the Red Mei Group, and Liu Yong proclaimed himself emperor in Suiyang, we call itEmperor Yonghan
A.D. 26In April, Liu Xiu sent the Huya general Gai Yantong to lead four generals including Ma Wu, the commander of the horses, to attack Liu Yong and besiege Suiyang City.
At this time, Su Mao, the former Xuanhan ** general, rebelled against Liu Xiu. This Su Mao, as we mentioned many times before, before the collapse of the Xuanhan Dynasty, he often fought against the Eastern Han Dynasty army and was brave and good at fighting. Su Mao's top boss is Xuanhan**'s Zuoda Sima Zhu Kun (read Ruwei), in 25 AD, in September, Zhu Kun surrendered to Liu Xiu, and Su Mao became a ** general of the Eastern Han Dynasty with him (see the humble article "Guan Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's Employment Strategy: Supervision Cadres Are All Mixed Hearts, and the Supreme Inspector General almost became Liu Xiu's brother-in-law"). This time, Su Mao rebelled, killed Huaiyang (Huaiyang County, Henan Province) Taishou Pan Jian, occupied Guangle (north of Yucheng County, Henan Province), and declared himself a vassal to Liu Yong. Liu Yong immediately appointed Su Mao as the ** Great Sima of Yonghan and the king of Huaiyang.
Gaiyan besieged Suiyang for several months and finally conquered it. Liu Yong fled to Yu County (north of Yucheng County, Henan Province, very close to Guangle), and the people of Yu County rebelled and killed Liu Yong's wife and wife (speaking of the Empress Dowager and Empress of the Yonghan regime). Liu Yong and dozens of his subordinates fled to Qian County (Bozhou City, Anhui Province). Su Mao, Jiaoqiang, and Zhou Jian gathered more than 30,000 people to come to the rescue, but they were defeated by Gaiyan in Pei County (Pei County, Jiangsu Province). Liu Yong, Jiaoqiang, and Zhou Jian fled to Huling (southeast of Yutai County, Shandong Province), while Su Mao fled back to Guangle. Gaiyan then pacified the three counties of Pei, Chu (Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and Linhuai (south of Sihong County, Jiangsu Province).
Liu Xiu sent Taizhong Dafu (intermediate state official) Fu Long to envoy Qingzhou (northern Shandong Province) and Xuzhou (northern Jiangsu Province) to surrender the counties and feudal states under Liu Yong's rule. The democratic cliques in the Qing and Xu areas heard that Liu Yong had been beaten to the ground, and they surrendered one after another. Liu Yongfeng's auxiliary Han general Zhang Bu also sent a cadre to follow Fulong to Luoyang, presenting a chapter and offering anchovy (that is, abalone, presumably dried abalone).
At the end of this year, Liu Xiu promoted Fu Long to Guanglu Dafu (senior state official), and sent him to Zhang Bu's jurisdiction to appoint Zhang Bu as the Taishou of Donglai (Laizhou City, Shandong Province).
A.D. 27In the second month of the leap month, Liu Yong, the emperor of the Yonghan Dynasty in Huling, named Dong Xian as the king of Haixi (the capital of Tanxian County, Tancheng County, Shandong Province). When Liu Yong heard that Fu Long was going to Zhao'an Zhang Bu, he hurriedly sent an envoy to crown Zhang Bu as the king of Qi. Zhang Bu hesitated, and Fu Long told him that Gaozu had made an agreement with the ministers back thenIf you are not surnamed Liu, you will not be crowned king, but with your strength, you can strive to seal a hundred thousand households. Zhang Bu asked Fu Long to stay and defend Qing and Xu Erzhou with him. Fu Long flatly refused, so Zhang Bu threw Fu Long into prison and accepted Liu Yong's title of prince.
Fulong sent a secret envoy to report to Liu Xiu, suggesting that Liu Xiu send troops to exterminate Zhang Bu. Zhang Bu couldn't say that he would surrender to Fulong, so he simply killed him.
In February of this year, Liu Xiu eliminated the old monster of Red Eyebrows, but there are still many monsters in the Quartet, and they all have to fight, for example, there are Peng Pet in the north, Liu Yong and Xuanhan ** in the south, and there are Deng Feng, Qin Feng, Tian Rong, Li Xian and others in Chu (we will mention these masters later), and they really can't spare their hands to clean up Zhang Bu, so Zhang Bu, the king of Qi, dominates Qi and occupies twelve counties (Chengyang, Langxie, Gaomi [Gaomi County, Shandong Province], Jiaodong, Donglai, Beihai, Qi County, Qiancheng [Northeast Gaoqing County, Shandong Province] , Jinan, Pingyuan [Pingyuan County, Shandong Province], Taishan, Suchuan [South of Shouguang City, Shandong Province]).
On March 16, Liu Xiu appointed Fu Long's father, Si Zhi (executive officer of the Prime Minister's Office) Fu Zhan, as the Great Situ (Prime Minister).
The Eastern Han Dynasty ** Sima Wu Han led seven generals including the hussar general Du Mao to surround Su Mao in Guangle, and Zhou Jian recruited more than 100,000 people to rescue Su Mao. Wu Han faced Zhou Jian, could not win, fell from his horse, injured his knee, and returned to the camp. So Zhou Jian and others led their troops into Guangle City (you see, Liu Yong's subordinates are actually very capable of fighting). Wu Han bandaged his wounds, slaughtered cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and the morale of the army doubled. The next day, Su Mao and Zhou Jian led an army to surround Wu Han, and Wu Han fought back and broke the Su and Zhou armies. Su Mao fled back to Huling. At this time, Suiyang, which had been captured by Gaiyan, rebelled and welcomed Liu Yong back to Suiyang. Gai Yan once again led his army to surround Suiyang, and Wu Han left Du Mao and Chen Jun to guard Guangle, and he led his troops to assist Gai Yan in besieging Suiyang.
In September and October, Gaiyan besieged Suiyang for 100 days. Liu Yong, Su Mao, and Zhou Jian broke through and prepared to flee to Yuxian (Xiyucheng Township, Yongcheng County, Henan Province), and Gai Yan quickly pursued. Living in such an exciting environment every day, finally someone couldn't hold it anymore, and Liu Yong's subordinate had a general named Qingwu, who cut off Liu Yong's head with a knife and surrendered to Gaiyan.
Su Mao and Zhou Jian fled to Chuihui (north of Mengcheng County, Anhui Province), and together they supported Liu Yong's son Liu Wei as the king of Liang. Another of Liu Yong's generals, Jiaoqiang, fled to Xifang (east of Chengwu County, Shandong Province) to defend it.
28 A.DIn July, Liu Xiu sent the captured general Ma Wu and the cavalry commander Wang Ba to attack Chuihui.
A.D. 29In February, the Liang kings Liu Su and Zhou Jian were besieged by Ma Wu in Chuihui, and Su Mao led the troops of the Five Schools People's Mutiny Group to come to the rescue. Ma Wujun was defeated by Su Mao and Zhou Jian, and when he fled, he passed through Wang Ba's camp, and Ma Wu shouted for help. Wang Ba was interesting, he also replied loudly, saying, the morale of the thief army is too strong, if I send troops, we will both be defeated, you better fight by yourself! After speaking, Wang Ba really closed the camp gate, kept a tight guard, and ignored Ma Wu again.
The subordinate cadres said one after another, General, I am afraid it is inappropriate for you to be like this to General Ma Wu, right?
Wang Ba said, Su Mao's army is very capable of fighting, and there are many people, our soldiers are afraid in their hearts, and Ma Wu always thinks that we will go to save him, and we will definitely not go all out when fighting, and we will definitely fail. Now we are closing the camp and holding on, saying that we will not help Ma Wu, so that the thief army will rush forward, and Ma Wu will fight to the death when he sees that he cannot get help. After the Su Mao army is tired, we will attack again, and we can break it in one battle.
Su Mao and Zhou Jian saw that Wang Ba, a coward, really didn't come out, so they dispatched the whole army to attack Ma Wu. Ma Wuxin said, Wang Ba, you are really a bastard! There was really no way, so he led the army to fight Su Mao and Zhou Jian. The two sides fought in the dark, and the lieutenant generals of Wang Ba's army couldn't stand it anymore, and dozens of strong men did not hesitate to cut off their hair and ask for war (cutting off their hair was a very serious matter for the ancients, which was equivalent to executing themselves to death). Wang Ba thought that the time had come, opened the back door of the camp, and sent elite cavalry to attack Su Mao and Zhou Jian from behind. Su Mao and Zhou Jian were attacked before and after, and fled in panic and confusion, while Wang Ba and Ma Wu returned to their respective camps.
On the second day, Su Mao and Zhou Jian gathered the army to challenge. Wang Ba still couldn't stick to it, and held a big banquet in the camp, held a party, and sang karaoke, so happy. Su Mao was in a hurry and had no choice, so he released an arrow into Wang Ba's camp, and an arrow directly hit the wine glass in front of Wang Ba, Wang Ba's face did not change, and he sat there as steady as Mount Tai.
The brothers all said that we beat Su Mao hard yesterday, and he didn't beat him twice!
Wang Ba said, otherwise, Su Maojun came from afar and lacked food, so he frequently challenged and wanted to fight quickly. We just didn't go along with his wishes, closed the camp gates, and rested the army, which is exactly the so-called "surrendering without a fight"!
Since Su Mao and Zhou Jian couldn't fight with Wang Ba, they had to lead their troops back to the camp. At night, Zhou Jian's nephew Zhou Yu rebelled and closed the gates of Chuihui City, preventing them from entering the city. Zhou Jian died on the way to escape, and Su Mao fled to Xiapi (Beigupi Town, Suining County, Jiangsu Province) to join Dong Xian, the king of Haixi. Liang Wang Liu Wei defected to Jiaoqiang (stationed in Xifang, northeast of Chengwu County, Shandong Province).
