Liu xiu's joke

Although Liu Xiu's ancestors were royalty, they were already poor in Liu Xiu's generation. Liu Xiu, a farmer for many years, was very familiar with cows, so he rode them to conquer the world.

As the leader of the rebel army, Liu Xiu, though poor, did not run barefoot on the battlefield like the little soldiers. So many people didn't show their faces and had no momentum at all, so he rode an ox to the battlefield.

In ancient wars, generals usually rode horses, which could be seen at a glance in the ranks, which could stabilize the morale of the army or give orders in chariots. There has never been an army commander who was not riding a horse or sitting in a chariot. It would be a joke if a general stood in front of the army with a weapon like a soldier and let the enemy on the other side see it. At least in terms of momentum, the party without chariots and horses will lose, and the enemy will look down on his own army, which is very unfavorable to himself.

Liu Xiu's ancestor was actually Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a descendant of the royal family. It stands to reason that he should not be very poor, at least he can eat and drink. In fact, the reason why Liu Xiu can become a farmer now is thanks to the "order to promote kindness" implemented during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After you get the fief, your vassal will give his fief to their son, which leads to the fief becoming smaller and smaller. After several generations, the fief was not large. In the era of Liu Xiu, there were only a few acres left. But something is better than nothing. Liu Xiu started his peasant life.

After years of development, consorts intervened in state affairs, and the Han Dynasty became poorer and weaker. It seems that the Han Dynasty should always belong to the Liu family. After many considerations, he finally decided to rebel and take back Liu's country. Even though he is poor, it can't stop his determination.
