Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Liu Zhijie drank wine and remembered the past.

He joined the army at a young age, because Liu was a general of the Qi State, and as soon as Liu Zhijie entered the army, his position was that of a battalion general.

With more and more achievements, he finally became a famous general of Qi State. Even in the Wei Kingdom, there were many people who had heard of Liu Zhijie's name.

During the reign of the first emperor Jiang Yanquan, there were signs of an invasion of Hanzhong by the Wei state. Liu Zhijie was ordered to garrison Hanzhong, and the Wei army did not dare to fight.

At that time, Emperor Li Kun of Wei had not yet succeeded to the throne, and the national power of Wei declined. Liu Zhijie said to Jiang Yanquan: "Since ancient times, the north has been stronger in force than in the south. Once the north is stable, it will inevitably use troops against the south. The current chaos in the north is a great opportunity for Your Majesty not to miss.

Jiang Yanquan felt that it made sense, and ordered Liu Zhijie to lead 200,000 Qi troops to the Northern Expedition.

The Qi army was like a bamboo, successively breaking through Jingxiang, Nanyang and other places, and killed under the city of Luoyang, which shocked the world.

At this time, there was a crazy rumor in Jinling City that Liu Zhijie planned to be the king of Luoyang after he captured Luoyang. Jiang Yanquan panicked in his heart, did not distinguish between the true and the false, and urgently ordered Liu Zhijie to withdraw from the army.

And Luoyang City is about to be breached, and Liu Zhijie wants to retreat after a while. Jiang Yanquan thought that Liu Zhijie was deliberately delaying time and cutting off the army's food and grass. Liu Zhijie had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

After investigation by the Criminal Department, the matter of the King of Luoyang was purely a rumor. Jiang Yanquan personally apologized to Liu Zhijie, and Liu Zhijie couldn't say anything more.

Later, Huainan Jiedu inflated his ambitions and wanted the Wei court to crown him king, but Li Kun decisively refused, which led to the deterioration of relations between the two.

Liu Zhijie said to Jiang Yanquan: "Defending the river must defend Huai, once Huainan is taken, Qi can not only enhance its national strength, but also gain more initiative strategically." Today, relations between Huainan and Chang'an are broken. Once something happens, the Wei court will not aid Huainan, but can take this opportunity to seize Huainan.

Jiang Yanquan then asked Liu Zhijie to lead the troops and attack Huainan. The Qi army drove straight in, breaking several cities in a row, and Huainan Jiedu made repeated defeats, losing tens of thousands of troops, and seeing that Qi was about to occupy Huainan.

When the victory was about to be won, someone in the court said to Jiang Yanquan: "Once Liu Zhijie captures Huainan, there will be no seal." In the future, this Qi country, I don't know if the surname is Jiang or Liu.

Jiang Yanquan listened to the slander, was afraid in his heart, and repeatedly ordered Liu Zhijie to withdraw his troops.

Liu Zhijie played again and again, explaining how important the land of Huainan was to the Qi country. Jiang Yanquan didn't care about this, and threatened that if he didn't withdraw his troops, he would no longer provide food and grass, and Liu Zhijie could only withdraw his troops.

After these two incidents, Liu Zhijie was heartbroken and closed the door. It has the name of "God of War", but there is nowhere to show it. Even if Jiang Yanquan named him the "General of the Pillar Kingdom", he did not enter the palace to thank him.

Jiang Ningxian appeared at this time and asked to see Liu Zhijie many times, wanting to get his support. Liu Zhijie was not interested in the battle for the heir and was not in the mood to meet him.

Jiang Ningxian had a plan and sent him a map, on this map, there are not only Liaodong and steppes in the north, but also the more distant North Sea (Lake Baikal). To the south there are Dali, South Vietnam, and the coast of the South China Sea. Liu Zhijie was deeply attracted by this map, and his cold heart boiled again, and he agreed to see Jiang Ningxian.

After entering the Liu Mansion, Jiang Ningxian said to Liu Zhijie: "The reason why I want that location is not to satisfy my personal desires, but to give me every inch of land on this map." If General Zhu supports me, I will definitely send troops to the Northern Expedition in the future, attack Luoyang and Chang'an, and dominate the world. "

Liu Zhijie has the heart to serve the country, but he has always been suspicious of Jiang Yanquan. After being moved by Jiang Ningxian's words, he put all his hopes on him and did his best to assist him on the throne.

After Jiang Yanquan's death, with the support of Liu Zhijie and Chen Jin, Jiang Ningxian successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.

At the beginning of his succession, Jiang Ningxian married the eldest daughter of Liufu and treated Liu Zhijie well. often consulted him about government affairs, and also presented a large number of gold, silver and jewelry to his mansion, as well as various rare treasures, and Liu Zhijie's three sons were also reused.

But then one thing happened that the relationship between the two began to deteriorate.

On this day, Jiang Ningxian invited Liu Zhijie to inspect a certain camp of the Qi army, and then he would observe the drill of the soldiers.

As soon as the two entered the camp, the soldiers were overjoyed when they saw Liu Zhijie, and shouted everywhere: "The general is here, .........", completely ignoring the emperor on the side.

More and more soldiers saw Liu Zhijie and kept shouting frantically: "General........。 This 40,000-strong Qi army camp was completely boiling because of Liu Zhijie's arrival.

Liu Zhijie was equally happy when he saw his comrades who had fought bloodily, and he patronized to say hello. didn't notice Jiang Ningxian on the side, his face was extremely gloomy.

Since this incident, Jiang Ningxian has become the same as Jiang Yanquan, and gradually became suspicious of Liu Zhijie.

And this suspicion, after the passage of time, slowly changed into jealousy.

Liu Zhijie didn't notice Jiang Ningxian's change at first, and Xingchong rushed to the fold, asking for troops to be sent to Huainan, promising to take all the land of Huainan within half a year. After Jiang Ningxian saw it, he only said that he would discuss it again, and then there was no follow-up, and the matter of sending troops was naturally over.

The former subordinates of the Liu family were transferred out of the imperial court one by one and replaced by Jiang Ningxian's henchmen. The third son of the Liu family also transferred from the military to the civilian position.

What annoys Jiang Ningxian is that no matter what he does, Liu Zhijie still has great prestige in the army. If it weren't for the fear of causing chaos, he would have killed Liu Zhijie a long time ago.

The distrust of two successive generations of emperors made Liu Zhijie completely dead and never raised the matter of war again. He really wanted to ask Jiang Ningxian face-to-face who made the bold statement that he would go north to the Central Plains and dominate the world. Did he forget what he said so quickly?

It's not that he doesn't understand intrigues, but he doesn't care about using them. After discovering that the Liu family had become a thorn in the emperor's side, Liu Zhijie had to secretly lay out a way to make a living for future generations.

Even if Liu Zhijie has not been in charge of the army for many years, he still has a lot of appeal in the army. Some people are just under pressure and pretend to dissociate themselves from the Liu family. When it matters, it can still be used.

In addition to this, he also lays out in other places.

Hanzhong is an ideal place, close to the Wei state. If Hanzhong is controlled, the Liu family can move to Hanzhong in a critical situation. Jiang Ningxian knew that Liu Zhijie was very good at using troops, and he was worried that the Liu family would take refuge in Wei, and he didn't dare to press the Liu family step by step. It's a pity that it was mixed up by Li Kun and Li Zhao, the two grandchildren.

Liu Zhijie was deep in thought when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" a

man in black walked into the room, "General Qiqi, that man is here, and I have introduced him into the secret room."

The corners of Liu Zhijie's mouth curled slightly, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, "Tell him, wait a while, I'll go over later." "
