These brothers have always behaved in a decent manner, and have distinguished themselves in the battles to quell various rebellions and defend against the Xiongnu side, and are worthy of the style of a general. He rushed to Hebei to resolutely take sides with Liu Xiu, followed the Ming main monster upgrade, suppressed the five colonels, cursed Liu Yong, and forked until the enemy was destroyed. As a result, he continued to increase his ranks and become the backbone of the Han army. During the tug-of-war with the Xiongnu, he held a heavy and steady position, seized the fighter, and in one fell swoop took the lead party Lu Fang, maintaining the balance of power when the national strength was weak. It is a pity that such a general of the dry city who is both internal and external, but linlao destroyed himself because of greed and murder, and did not know that his own Buddha-figure Ginseng Water Ape was an auspicious star who "made things prosperous and lived in the house", and he became a greedy person in vain. He was the Great General of the Hussars and the Marquis Du Mao of Samson Township.
The Samsui Ape is the last of the White Tiger's Seven Lodges, because it resides in the key part of the White Tiger's chest, so it is Dorji. It is said that this stay but in the face of fabrication will inevitably prosper, and the food, clothing, cattle and horses will be inexhaustible, that is to say, sometimes there will be a fate, and there will be no demand in the fate. The protagonist of this article did not know that he had this auspicious fortune, and he was still not satisfied with his outstanding military achievements in his life, so he had to fish for a coffin book, but unexpectedly the trouble was exposed, and he actually instructed the military officials to kill people in an attempt to exonerate. As a result, Liu Xiusheng's candlelight illuminated and saw through the theft, if it were not for the love of the tired warriors, I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to enter the ranks of the Yuntai Generals. After that, the brothers demoted their titles and lost power, retreated to the fiefdom, and ended up in shame and anger.
He was the Great General of the Hussars and the Marquis Du Mao of Samson Township.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the stalwart general of champion township</h1>
Du Maozi was a native of Nanyang County,guanguan county (present-day Zhangcun Town, Dengzhou, Henan), and was a fellow villager with another Yuntai general, Jia Fu, and both of them had a low military value, worthy of the title of champion of the three armies. Therefore, for Du Mao, the champion is not only a place name, but also a reputation, glorious and real, worthy of boasting.
Du Mao's early experience was completely blank, and the author did not know where he jumped out of nowhere? He only knew that he went to defect when Liu Xiu was pacifying Hebei, and with the help of the five-stranded Heavenly Flame Fork that danced with one hand and the wind, he smoothly entered Liu Xiu's magic eye and became a member of his command.
Compared with his personal martial courage, Liu Xiu admired Du Mao's expertise in leading troops, and immediately appointed Du Mao as a stalwart general. A rootless admirer, as soon as he met, revealed the ability to lead troops that Liu Xiu admired, which showed that Du Mao was an old driver who had been trained into a fine, after all, as long as the personal martial courage could be cultivated as long as he studied hard behind closed doors, it was not a big deal that the dream of being an immortal to teach like Cheng Yaojin could also be achieved quickly, but to obtain the ability to lead troops that Liu Xiu praised, if there was no certain practical foundation, I am afraid it would not be very difficult but particularly difficult. Unfortunately, the author really does not know where Du Mao cultivated the art of war, and can only say that Du Mao can only ascend to heaven one step at a time by learning the origins of his classmates and martial virtue.
Du Mao, who served as a new backbone general, did show the general's good combat strength, exerting the great power of the han army's backbone on Liu Xiu's journey to Hebei, fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, showing a very eye-catching performance, and immediately after Liu Xiu was proclaimed emperor in June 25 AD, he was immediately awarded the title of Grand General and Marquis of Lexiang, which was much faster than Ma Cheng, who had followed Liu Xiu very early. However, the history books do not mention a single specific example of General Du before Liu Xiu became emperor, only the five words "often follow the conquest", and then the achievement of fame and the title of general. In this regard, the author really can't guess through this Spring and Autumn brushwork, and can only say one more sentence, Du Mao's classmates will be in a storm and fight hard, and they will inevitably be quick to be crowned.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > the five school killers that poor Kou must chase</h1>
Before becoming emperor, Liu Xiu had already eliminated the peasant army with strange names such as copper horses, high lakes, and big guns, and won himself a nickname of "copper horse emperor". At that time, only the Five Schools Peasant Army in the Hebei area was still relatively strong, and the Five Schools Army had a bloody battle with Du Mao's compatriot Jia Fuyi, which seriously injured this Han army who was alone in the martial forest.
Du Mao not only pays attention to individual martial courage, but also pays more attention to team synergy, so when he is in Xifenghou, he can't wait to go north to find a good opportunity to break the enemy. He found that the peasant army was not well organized and not skilled enough, and it was ultimately difficult to deal with the Han army, which had been fought after several years of bloody battles and was led by a good warrior. To this end, Du Mao looked at the fighter plane and launched a fierce attack on the weak links of the Five Colonels Army, killing the enemy in front of him. Breaking a little and breaking a little, Du Mao continued to work hard and continuously expanded the results of the battle. Under the brave and fierce slaughter of the main general, the Han army rushed to the enemy army like a fierce tiger. The Five Colonels' army was completely confused and scattered in all directions. Subsequently, Du Mao, with the threat of great victory, marched forward with his army and forced a landing in Guangping County.
Du Mao and the Five Colonels fought cleanly and cleanly, and the clouds were light and breezy. Liu Xiu rewarded him for his merits, and in the following year, du Mao, who was good at war, was made the Marquis of Kuxing.
In the spring of the same year, the remnants of the Five Schools Peasant Army were lonely and forced to warm up with the Tanxiang Peasant Army, which had not been favored by themselves before. In order to obtain the materials needed for survival, they joined forces to harass Wei County and Qinghe County, making the local people unhappy, and also made Liu Xiu determined to get rid of them quickly. Du Mao and Jian Yi and nine other generals, under the unified command of Sima Wuhan, formed a counterinsurgency army. The Han army and the peasant army fought fiercely on the banks of the Zhangshui River, east of Yecheng. Wu Han gave full play to the combat strength of the Youzhou Assault Horse, and Du Mao and other generals respectively commanded their own troops to attack separately and finally won the battle. The blood of the peasant army that died on the battlefield flowed into Zhangshui, staining Zhangshui red. The peasant army that was encircled by Du Mao and other generals had no fighting spirit and could only lay down their weapons and surrender. According to post-war statistics, more than 100,000 people were beheaded or surrendered in this battle, which can be said to have achieved unprecedented victories.
After that, Liu Xiu once again ordered Du Mao, together with Wang Liang, who had made a comeback from a mistake, to take advantage of the momentum of chasing the poor Kou with yu Yong, grabbing the buttocks of the remnants of the Five Colonels' army, and launching a dragnet search along the line of Wei County, Qinghe County, and Dong County, and completely eliminating those fish that they thought they had strayed into the net. Officer Du Mao was very strict, and under the guidance of the five colonels, he searched every camp fort that the five-colonel army had painstakingly built, and finally destroyed them all, during which time more than thirty generals of the five-school army were forced to surrender. After Du Mao and others carefully and meticulously straightened out the public security, this road connecting Hebei and Henan was finally unimpeded, and I could no longer hear "This mountain is opened by me, and this tree is planted by me." To hit here too, to leave the road money" such a discordant voice. People can move freely in order to flow freely, and the three counties are steadfast, which has become an important rear base for the Han army to conquer the world.
In 27 CE, Liu Xiu changed the post of Kou Ke to Runan Taishou .com. Because the territory of Runan was not peaceful, Liu Xiu specially ordered Du Mao, who had been transferred to the general of the Hussars, to lead troops to help Kou Ke hunt down the thieves. Du Mao, who had accumulated rich experience in counterinsurgency for many years, faced with the bandits of Runan, who grabbed medicine according to the prescription, fought steadily, accurately and fiercely, and soon swept away the bandits who had been rampant for many years. Without the harassment of bandits, Kou Taishou was able to educate the people's hearts and develop the economy, making Runan, a hotbed of famous scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > the tail sweeper of the deer in the Central Plains</h1>
For Du Mao, just fighting bandits is inevitably suspected of being overkill. He aspired to make a contribution on the larger battlefield of chasing deer in the Central Plains. At this time, in the Central Plains, the orthodox battle for the liu brand of Liu Xiu and Liu Yong was fiercely staged. Liu Xiu's Huya general Gai Yanye had led an army to attack Liu Yong (劉永), who had divided Suiyang (睢陽, southeast of present-day Shangqiu, Henan). In order to avoid being bitten by the tiger's teeth, Liu Yong took the initiative to lead the generals Lingyi and Zhou Jian to retreat to Huling (in present-day southeast of Yutai, Shandong), and another of Liu Yong's generals, Su Mao, an old friend of the Han army, also retreated to Guangle (northwest of present-day Yucheng, Shandong), and the two armies turned each other into horns and confronted the Han army.
With Liu Yong's initiative to retreat, the logistics line of the Han army was forced to extend, and although Gai Yan was brave, he fought one against two, and the danger increased sharply. At the critical moment, Liu Xiu quickly sent reinforcements. In the spring of 27 AD, Du Mao, who had just completed the counterinsurgency mission in Runan, received an edict to accompany Wu Han to support Gaiyan along with the crossbow general Chen Jun.
Wu Han and Du Mao and others will agree to break Su Mao first. This cargo was not Liu Yong's old subject, but also a defeated general under the Han army, how dare he fight to the death with the Han army that rushed to his aid. Sure enough, the two sides did not fight a few battles, su Mao obediently retreated into Guangle City, and then sent Liu Yong a letter of 100,000 fiery chicken feathers.
Liu Yong was worried that Su Mao would not be able to resist, so he sent Zhou Jian to lead an army to help. As soon as Zhou Jian arrived in Guangle, the Han army, which had been waiting for a long time, went out to kill him, and Du Mao even waved a steel fork, taking the lead and killing him, which immediately disrupted Zhou Jian's people. Zhou Jian's left and right branches were difficult to restrain, so he had to break through. Fortunately, Su Mao in the city was a master of escaping who was good at improvisation, and when he saw that the Han army's siege troops had diverted their attention, they immediately abandoned the city with the wind and went out, and actually met Zhou Jian unexpectedly in the chaotic army, and ran with the gang. Then, this pair of difficult brothers returned to Huling, so they could take a breath and say it again.
Wu Han left Du Mao and Chen Jun'er to guard Guangle and secure their rear. Then, with great fanfare, he led his army to meet his old comrade Gai Yan and besiege Liu Yong in Suiyang City until Liu Yong was killed.
Because of his outstanding military achievements in aiding Gaiyan and defeating Liu Yongzhong, Liu Xiu sent Envoy Jie Bai Dumao to be a general on horseback. At the turn of the two Han Dynasties, all the high-grade civil and military official positions were keen to add a "big" word, as if there was no big or three points, and now that the official title has the word "big", Du Mao can also go out and brag with a straight face. Moreover, he had been a great general when he was the Marquis of Lexiang before, and somehow he turned to a general of the Hussars, and he thought that the great generals at that time had insufficient gold content and were difficult to convince the public, so it was not as good as today's Hussars.
Du Maodu became a great general on horseback, naturally he would not enjoy the years in Guangle, he still liked to carry the weight forward in the great era of heroes. Therefore, he happily accepted Liu Xiu's edict and fully presided over the completion of the campaign against the remnants of Liu Yong. After all, dealing with the remnants of Liu Yong, who is already a lost dog, is the same as dealing with the Five Colonels Army, and it is a pleasant game of brushing points. In a short period of time, Du Mao led an army to break through the remnants of Liu Yong, who were entrenched in Pei County, and captured Mang County (孟县; northeast of present-day Yongcheng, Henan).
Seeing that the Han army had the potential to eliminate evil, some of Liu Yong's brain-dead fans simply drank it. They took advantage of the reduction of the defenders of Xifang (西防; northeast of present-day Shan County, Shandong) to rebel again, and the general Liu Yong, who had long been agreed upon, immediately entered the Western Defense to take over the defense. At a time when the situation in the whole country was very good, such a small bug actually appeared, which made the Han army on the front line very angry.
In the spring of 29 AD, the Han army, which had been resting for a long time, under the command of Du Mao, launched a western defensive siege battle. Xifang was originally a place where he started strong, and he was clear about every grass and tree here, and naturally refused to give it up. The offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were very stiff, and lasted for several months, and Du Mao, with the cooperation of Ma Wu, finally fought a strong and temperless battle, and had to abandon the western defense and go to Dong Xian, who had divided the East China Sea. At this point, all the rebel forces on Liu Yongliang's territory were eliminated.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > late Mibekan Castle</h1>
After fighting an endless civil war, Du Mao went to the front line of the foreign war. The author once said that in view of the reality of long-term civil strife and the waste of national strength, Liu Xiu's strategic focus was always inside and then outside, and Liu Xiu generally adopted a passive defensive strategy against the blood-resurrected Xiongnu.
However, in the face of the plundering Xiongnu, even if they were passively defensive, they could not do without the support of strong force, so in 31 AD, Liu Xiu ordered Du Mao to lead his troops to arm Tuntian in Jinyang (present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi) and Guangwu (present-day Dai County, Shanxi). Liu Xiu gave Du Mao two orders, one was to keep an eye on the Xiongnu's large-scale march south, and the other was to seek an opportunity to eliminate Lu Fang, a leading party dependent on the Xiongnu.
Lu Fang was a native of present-day Tongxin County, Ningxia (then Sanshui County, Anding County), but he did not share any of the same heart with the Central Plains Dynasty. This product once claimed to be the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of The Han Dynasty who was left behind by the people to confuse the people, and took advantage of the great chaos in the Central Plains to claim the title of king in the area around Anding County. In order to consolidate his position, he did not hesitate to send envoys to the Western Qiang and Xiongnu, asking to be their younger brother. Knowing that Xi Qiang was not interested in him, Lu Fang had no choice but to follow the Xiongnu with a dead heart.
At the time of Du MaotunTian, Lu Fang occupied Gaoliu City (高柳城, in present-day Yanggao, Shanxi), and went back and forth with the Xiongnu, and from time to time formed a group to go south to fight a grass valley, which was really a headache. Liu Xiu had to send Wu Han to lead Du Mao and other generals to attack Lu Fang several times, but these guys slid fiercely, beat them too hard, ran if they couldn't fight, and always used people to rush to pump cold to the Han army. Wu Han and Du Mao didn't have much good way to do with these guys either. In this way, the two sides have been tugging at the border line.
In 33 AD, Du Mao joined forces with Guo Liang, the Taishou of Yanmen, and sent an army to attack Lu Fang. They had a hard time catching up with Lu Fang's general Yin You in the area of Fanqi (in present-day southwest of Hunyuan, Shanxi), and the two sides did not talk nonsense, and began to fight when they opened up. Just when the Han army was exerting all its strength to kill Yin You, another general of Lu Fang, Jia Lan, suddenly led more than 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry to kill in a diagonal stab, and rushed to the Han army in one fell swoop. Du Mao had no choice but to personally suppress the front and lead the Han army to engage it. Helplessly, the Han army was tired after a long battle, coupled with the strong combat strength of the Xiongnu cavalry, Du Mao had to lead the army to retreat into Lou Fu City.
Hearing the news that the Han army was unfavorable in several battles, Liu Xiu was also worried. However, the domestic war was still not settled, and where did the imperial court have the strength to fight back against foreign enemies? However, Liu Xiu couldn't help but try to support Du Mao. In 36 AD, Liu Xiu sent the Gurudwara Duan Zhong to lead the prisoners of the counties who were exempt from punishment to the northern region to charge the army to inflict their sins. This is also an important source of the ancient border army, after all, the Han people living in the flower world of the Central Plains, who are willing to go to the bitter cold and dangerous border plug? At the same time, Liu Xiu authorized the counties in the border areas to launch the county guards to build pavilions for early warning, and tried to do all kinds of passive defense homework as much as possible. Not only that, Liu Xiu also took out a large amount of gold and silk to issue high subsidies to the border army. In the chaotic world, metal money is insufficient, and silk fabrics are often used as hard currency. Officials and civilians transporting these goods were in an endless stream, and Du Mao also sent Tuntian soldiers to help transfer supplies in horse-drawn carriages.
With the high income, the combat effectiveness of the Han army has increased a lot, and the life of the border army has also been improved to a certain extent, and the situation has begun to change in the direction of favoring the Han army. However, these heartwarming yellow and white things eventually turned Du Mao into a greedy person.
Hearing the news that the Han army was living a happy life, those rebels whose lives were equally hard were instantly unbalanced. Why, at such a great risk, didn't we just want to live a good life by taking such a big risk against the imperial court? Now that I am not a person inside or outside, and my life is still so poor, why not go home and be a good citizen? People's hearts have changed, and the team is not good. Under these circumstances, The Yanmen native Jia Dan and others simply did not stop and secretly attacked Yin You, the defender of Pingcheng (平城, in present-day Lingchuan, Shanxi), appointed by Lu Fang, and then raised the city to surrender to Han. The fortress is the easiest to breach from the inside, and this is true. Yin You, who didn't get a hard battle in du Mao at that time, was now easily killed by a few border people anyway, isn't this very speechless?
Hearing this long-lost good news, Liu Xiu quickly followed up, ordering greater efforts to send benefits to Du Mao, and at the same time generously granting Pingcheng to the people, and promoting the leading elder brother to the marquis. Jia Dan and others were hit by the big red envelope, which naturally became a living advertisement for the Han Dynasty to publicize the frontier policy, and after that, more and more people under Lu Fang pursued a happy life, and they killed all the hardcore traitors who dared to stop them from running well-off, even in the face of the Xiongnu cavalry. After a month, Lu Fang's territory was seriously shrunk, and he no longer had the strength to fight with the Great Han, and he still had to worry about his subordinates taking his first rank as a name, and the more he thought about it, the more he had to flee to the Xiongnu to ask for support.
The following year, Liu Xiu again increased Du Mao's food and made him the Marquis of Xiu. At this time, Du Mao reached the highest peak of his life, and could not help but be a little fluttery, began to revel in his former outstanding battle achievements, and no longer advanced. Slowly, Du Mao's heart became a little unbalanced, why did other colleagues either make a fortune in the capital or open up in a rich place, only himself in this border land where birds don't, drinking wind and eating sand, and always being careful of those foreign bandits who were killed by heaven? This imbalance became more and more intense with the repeated extension of the time at the edge of the border, and even Du Mao's heart moved to "find a remedy" in his heart.
In 39 AD, Du Mao heard that he had been accused of coveting the affairs issued to the border army by the imperial court, and Liu Xiu was about to send someone to check it out. Du Mao couldn't help but get a little flustered, looking at everyone under him like he was denouncing his own traitors. Driven by this suspicion, he determined that his subordinate (name unknown) was the one who betrayed himself, and in order to evade responsibility, he actually instructed his subordinates to kill the person he suspected. Unfortunately, Du Mao is a good fighter, but his ability to forge and solve cases is too much worse, and this kind of thing can be hidden by killing a person, which will only want to cover up.
When Liu Xiu heard the news of Du Mao's degeneration and crime, he was very angry and distressed. However, for Du Mao's many years of conquest, he decided to give extrajudicial favors, but only ordered that he be stripped of his military powers, relieved of his various duties, and demoted his title to Marquis of Samson Township. It can be seen from this that Liu Xiu was still quite tolerant of Du Mao, and Liu Long, who was also a hero, was imprisoned for violating Liu Xiu's School field law, and after he was released from prison, he was even demoted to a commoner, but now Du Mao killed people and crossed the goods but only exempted him from officialdom and demotion, and the emperor's punishment was indeed unpredictable.
However, unlike Liu Long, although Liu Long's sin was great, he fell from where he got up, and even went further, although Du Mao did not eat too much melon, but he never recovered. Four years later, in 43 AD, Du Mao became ill and died at home. It is said that there are two places where he was buried after his death, one is Guanxian County, and the other is today's Kuxing (in present-day northeast Wuji, Hebei), and I don't know where his soul returned?
In folk interpretations and plays, Du Mao is said to be a fierce man who is a little stunned and a little pleasing, or a cousin of the general Cen Peng, who went to Beijing with Cen Peng to take the martial arts examination, because he was dissatisfied with Cen Peng's support for Wang Mang's almost brotherly rebellion. Later, Du Mao returned to Han with his father and became one of the four pioneers of the famous Han Army, holding five branches of the Heavenly Flame Fork in his hand, charging forward and enjoying Liu Xiu's career, which was really a great contribution. The author feels that when Emperor Ming of Han identified the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, he was able not to abandon Du Mao because of the late festival, which shows that the ancients were still very fair in discussing merits and rewards, and did not waste Du Mao's efforts for many years of conquest for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
