First, unique personality charm, firm followers and supporters.
After Liu Xiu entered the Han Dynasty, he accumulated fame in the Battle of Kunyang. Coupled with his gentle and honest personality, unique internal quality and personality charm, people are willing to follow him. When I went to pacify Hebei, there were only Feng Yi, Yan, Jane,, and. Hebei, on the other hand, is divided by local forces and full of danger. In this case, Deng Yu, Jia Fu and Jun Chen, Liu Xiu's hometown, resolutely defected to the enemy, and Liu Xiu gradually had his own cast.
Second, keep the festival and go to the embassy to attract local forces for their own use.
At that time, there were "Three Kings of Hebei", Tongma, Zailai, Xiao Wei, Gongsun Shu and other separatist forces in Hebei, and the situation was complicated, so Liu Xuan sent Liu Xiu to Hebei to preside over Zhaofu. Because of Liu Xiu's extraordinary ability and famous reputation, he was quickly supported by Ren Guang, the chief of Xindu County, and some cremation in Hebei Province. However, the strength of this political force is indeed limited, and there is no strong army as a guarantee of force.
Third, make friends with Hebei heroes and continue to grow and develop.
Liu Xiu reversed the situation and swept away the decline. The key factor is that he made friends with Hebei heroes Geng Yan and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and got the full support of Shanggu and Yuyang counties. When Wang Lang was pacified, the cavalry in Yuyang and Shanggu counties played an important role. The strength is increasing day by day, and there are more and more supporters around, which has strengthened Liu Xiu's confidence in developing in Hebei. The addition of Yuyang and Shanggu cavalry is tantamount to adding wings to Liu Xiu.
Fourth, marry the real king politics and strengthen its own strength.
Shortly after Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, Wang Lang's influence swept across Hebei, and all parts of Hebei joined in. Liu Xiu was besieged and beaten by Wang Lang, and she was in a very difficult situation. She had nowhere to live and her life was in danger at any time. In times of crisis, Liu Yang, the true king of Hebei Province, offered an olive branch to Liu Xiu, who conveniently married Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengkun. Through this political marriage, Liu Xiu won the support of thousands of people from the real king. With this unit, Liu Xiu quickly defeated Han and wiped out Wang Lang and other forces, and finally had a certain foundation in Hebei.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) surrenders and enlists the peasant army to compete for world hegemony.
After the Wang Lang regime was destroyed, Liu Xiuyuan did not control the whole territory of Hebei, let alone the great cause of unifying the world. A dozen peasant armies, including Tongma, Datong and gaohu, were widely distributed in Hebei at that time. These peasant armies are not only numerous, but also widely distributed, which poses a great threat to Liu Xiu's rule in Hebei. Therefore, after the settlement of the Wang Lang regime, Liu Xiubian conquered these huge peasant armies and unified the whole territory of Hebei through the strategy of attacking first. Liu xiu distributed the surrendered troops to the generals, and the army expanded to hundreds of thousands. Subsequently, the powerful Liu Xiu became the emperor of Hebei.
