Thirteen of the 28 generals in Yuntai: Geng Chun who suppressed the peasant army and helped Liu Xiu establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Geng Chun's father Geng Ai experienced it in his early years. He is follwed Yin Jiping. Geng Chun studied in Chang 'an, so he was appointed as a Yan Na scholar. Follwed defeated, and found another way to ascend to the throne, so Wang Yili of Wuyang surrendered to all counties and countries, and Geng Chun's father Geng Yan also surrendered and went back to be the prefect of Jinan. At that time, the Li brothers were in power, and they were arbitrary and lobbied a lot by guests. Geng Chun repeatedly asked for an interview, but was not allowed to report. It took a long time to see it. So, he said to Li Yi, "With the power of the dragon and the tiger, the king has risen rapidly. In January, brothers will be king, but the gentry don't know what virtue you have, and you haven't made any contribution to the people. Human feelings and official positions are thriving, which is a big taboo for smart people. Conscientious, vigilant and self-sustaining, I'm afraid it won't come to a good end, let alone suddenly break out and take the consequences. Can it succeed? " Li Yi is very strange, taking it as the most popular name of Julu. He passed the emperor's decree, taking it as the riding captain and granting it to him to collect Zhao.

He defected to Liu Xiu (23) in the first year of restarting. After Liu Xuan proclaimed himself emperor, he sent Liu Xiuling to lead several troops to Handan. Geng Chun went to see him, and Liu Xiu received him happily. When Geng Chun retired, he saw that the general who commanded the army had different laws from other generals, so he asked himself to adopt and contribute hundreds of horses and silk. Liu Xiu went north to Zhongshan and left Geng Chun in Handan. Wang Lang, a fortune teller in Handan, pretended to be Liu Ziyu, the son of Emperor Han Cheng, and became king on his own, and soon took control of most counties in Hebei. So he raced away from the southeast of Hebei, and with his younger brothers Geng, Geng Su and honest and frank, he led more than 2,000 guests. Both the old man and the patient carried coffins to welcome Liu Xiu to Yuxian. Worship as a former general and be appointed as Hou. And worship Geng, Geng Su, honest and frank as PianJiang, make it and led the troops, Zi Song, with QuYang, zhongshan.

At this time, many counties surrendered to Handan. Geng Chun was afraid that the imperial clan had second thoughts, so he told Geng and Geng Su to go back and burn down all the imperial clan houses. When Liu Xiu asked Geng Chun why he did this, Geng Chun said, "I saw that Gong Ming came to Hebei by bike and had no hidden savings from the government. This may be a sweet bait to reward people, people can get together, just because they are kind, people are willing to join him. Now that Handan is independent, Zhou Bei is very confused. Although I am an old and weak person, I am also afraid of people from different places, so I burned the house and hoped to turn my face. " Liu Xiu sighed. When he arrived in Z (now Baixiang, Hebei Province), Liu Xiu stopped at the guest house. Su Gong, surnamed Z, rebelled and opened the gate to let Wang Lang and Liu Yun in. Geng Chun first discovered that his army fought fiercely with Liu Yun, defeated and beheaded Liu Yun. Follow to pacify Handan and break the bronze horse.

At this time, more than 100,000 people, including Red Eyebrows, Green Calves, Shangjiang, Datong, Tiexin and Wu Ban, were beating dogs, and Liu Xiuling led the troops to attack. GengChunJun ahead, a few miles away from the camp. Suddenly, thieves attacked Geng Chun at night, and arrows rained into the camp, causing many infantry casualties. Geng Chun command headquarters, stick to it. Two thousand fighters were selected, all equipped with strong crossbows and three arrows each, so that they could sneak behind the thieves and shout in unison. The strong crossbow is concurrent, and the thieves are scared away. Geng Chun chased them and broke the thief. Geng Chun sent the trotters away from Liu Xiu. The next morning, Liu Xiu and all the generals came to the camp to comfort Geng Chun and said, "Were you sleepy last night?" Geng Chun said, "Thanks to Gong Ming Wade, I am lucky to be safe." Liu Xiu said: "Soldiers can't move at night, so there is no rescue. There is no routine for the advance and retreat of the military camp, and your clan cannot live in the army. " With Geng Chun, Jin Geng and Upp as leaders, Geng Chun let all his relatives live in Upp County.

After persuading the monarch to ascend to the throne, Liu Xiu's power gradually expanded. The generals suggested that he be emperor, but Liu Xiu refused. In Nanping Spine (now Zhao County), we advised, "We abandoned our relatives' villages and fought with the King in order to climb Longlin and attach the wings of the Phoenix. Success is success. Now that it has been achieved, heaven and man correspond, and the king does not listen to people's advice and is in place in time. I am afraid that everyone will be disappointed. It will be difficult to get back together if we are separated! " After listening to Geng Chun's words, Liu Xiu soon became emperor, with the title of Jianwu, and named Geng Chun as Levin Hou.

In the first year of Jianwu (25), Geng Chun led an army to attack Yin Ji Liu Yong and capture Dingtao. At first, Geng Chun followed the attack on Wang Lang, fell off his horse, broke his shoulder and often got shoulder injuries, so he returned to Huaigong. The emperor asked, "Who can be your brother?" Geng Chun recommended honest and frank as his younger brother, honest and frank led Geng Chun's army, and Geng Chun was still a former general.

At this time, it was really decided. Wang Liuyang made a prediction and said, "After Hong Jiu, Yang Yang will take the lead." Liu Yang suffered from dysentery, trying to confuse the masses and associate with Mianman thieves.

In the spring of the 26th year of Jianwu, Chen Fu, the commander-in-chief of Liu Xiupai, and Deng Long, the guerrilla general, called to Liu Yang, and Liu Yang closed the gate to prevent Chen Fu from entering the city. So he sent Geng Chun to guard Jeff, and sent a message to Youzhou and Jizhou, asking them to comfort their ministers. Geng Chun was secretly ordered to say, "If Liu Yang sees you, you can arrest him." Geng Chun led more than 100 officials to meet Chen Fu and Deng Long in Yuanshi County, arrived in Calm together, and stayed in a guest house. Liu Yang said he was ill and refused to see him. Considering that Geng Chun is the son of a real imperial sister, he sent a messenger to send a letter to Geng Chun, ready to meet him. Geng Chun reported, "I was asked to see the prince and the shepherd. I can't see you first. Go to the library if you want to meet. " At this time, Liu Yang's younger brother, Hou Liurang of Linyi and his subordinate brother Liu Xi each supported more than 10,000 people. Relying on the strength of the army, Liu Yang was pure and quiet, and went to see him with his officials. His brothers each took light soldiers outside the door. When Liu Yangjin saw him, Geng Chun treated him with courtesy, invited Liu Rang, entered the house, closed the door, killed the Liu Yang brothers, and then went out with the army. It's really shocking and scary. No one dares to change. The emperor sympathized with Liu Yang and Liu Rang, but before the plot began, he sealed their son and restored their old country.

Geng Chun, a shepherd in Dongjun County, returned to the capital, so he asked, "I am a descendant of the official family. I was lucky to be saved by a great man. The Lord acceded to the throne, and I'm going to rank among the generals and be honored as them. Now that the world is a little calmer, I have nowhere to display my talents. I am willing to try my best to govern a county and try my best to serve. " The emperor smiled and said, "Do you want to bring sandwiches besides martial arts?" Only worship Geng Chun as the prefect of East County. At that time, Dong Jun had not settled down, Geng Chun had been in power for several months, and the thieves were quiet and peaceful.

In the fourth year of Jianwu (28), the imperial edict Geng Chun led the troops to attack Fan Jing, the prefect of Dongping, to start a new stove, and Fan Jing surrendered. They attacked Mount Tai, Jinan and the plain thieves, and they were all put down. I worked in Dongjun for four years. At this time, the county magistrate was guilty, and Geng Chun made a case and surrounded the county magistrate. However, the county magistrate committed suicide. Geng Chun was implicated in dismissal in order to serve the court. Dong Xian was attacked and passed through Dongjun. Thousands of people followed Liu Xiu's car and cried, saying, "I would like to be a gentleman again." The emperor said to his ministers, "Geng Chun was only an officer in armor when he was a child. As the prefect of East County, how can he be so missed by the people? "

In the sixth year of Jianwu (30), it was named Dongguang Hou. When Geng Chun left for home, the emperor said, "The Emperor Wen told me that the Prime Minister is something I respect. Now you bring a vassal home for me." It's the same now. "Geng Chun accepted a letter to life. When I get to your place, I will welcome you to Guwan. When he arrived in Guo Feng, Geng Chun expressed his condolences to the deceased and patients, and the people loved him very much.

In the eighth year of Jianwu (32), thieves started in Dong Jun, Yin Ji and other places, and the emperor sent general Li Tong and general Yokono Wang Chang to crusade. Geng Chun had a high prestige in defending the land, and sent an envoy to worship Geng Chun as a doctor in Taizhong, so that he could meet the army in Yudong County. When Dong Jun heard that Geng Chun had arrived, more than 9,000 thieves surrendered to Geng Chun, and the army returned without fighting. The West Shu made Geng Chun the magistrate of Dong Jun, and the officials and people were convinced.

In the 13th year of Jianwu (37), he died in an official position and was named Cheng Hou.

Honest and frank, a member of this family, was the later general Fu Wei, who was named Hou Wuyi. Geng Xu is the prefect. He was appointed as the township head. Geng, a general with red eyebrows, sealed the marquis of Wu, followed Deng Yu's Western Expedition and died in Yunyang. Among the clans, there are four surnames Liehou, three Neihou and nine Qianshi.

Geng Chun's descendants died, and his son Geng Fu succeeded him. Fu Qian lived in Xiang Hou, Yongping for fourteen years, and lived in the same family as the Chu people, except for the country. In the second year of the founding of New China, Su Zong remembered pure merit and made it high. What a pawn, no children, the emperor will seal what a Teng Ge. Minions are loyal heirs. A loyal minister, Sun Xusi.

" Xu Jun: "The soldiers in the line are different from others. Heroes are recognized at first sight. If the family is United and energy-saving, why not? "

Status of Later Generations During the reign of Emperor Yongping of Han Dynasty, Ming Di recalled the heroes who laid the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty with his father, and ordered to draw portraits of 28 heroes in Yuntai, Nangong and Luoyang, among which Geng Chun ranked 13th.
