Within just ten days after the Fifth Reun left, the Yushan bandits were "pacified" by the county soldiers who flocked to them.

Just like the heads of Lu Fang, the head of "Jia Dabie" was inserted into a spear and held high. The county soldiers returned to the county city happily to report their merits to the Dayin.

However, when he saw Jia Fu, the "real thief" who was criticized by the Fifth Representative Proclamation, he left Ma Wu and his troops early in the morning, leaving only an empty nest for the official army.

After hearing the bad news that he was "killed", Jia Fu felt funny and touched his head, "The government army doesn't look for a better-looking head. I, Jia Fu, are that ugly?"

Ma Wu laughed, but soon they couldn't laugh, because the government army killed more than the thief chiefs, and even hundreds of thieves gathered together, leaving only a few bloody villages and women and girls who cried and wailed after losing their fathers and brothers.

"We shouldn't have left."

Seeing this tragic scene, Jia Fu felt ashamed: "All the people of Beixiang, Guanjun County. Although they are poor, they can still use food and fodder to support us. Now they are suffering this great disaster. Jia Fu's fault!"

After saying that, Jia Fu became angry and angry again. He blamed Ma Wu with the halberd in his hand, and did not call him to Zhang anymore. He cursed: "August Captain, it's all you blame! If you hadn't come to my Yushan Mountain at your end, how could the official army be attracted?"

"Junwen blamed the wrong person."

Ma Wu disagreed: "Blame the fifth reunion, the new envoy who escorted the prince, the official army that slaughtered the people, the big magistrate who ordered the front team, the foolish emperor! The messy world!"

He said: "If life can continue, who would like to be a bandit? Three years ago, there were famines in Jiangxia. Many hungry people led to dig grass roots into the wild zodiac to feed on them and gathered in Yunshe Green Forest Mountain. When they first started, there were only a few hundred people, but now it has increased by hundreds of times. How do you think it was done?"

Relying on the Green Forest leaders who have vision and strategy, they are not, but the Daqu coach Wang Kuang, Wang Feng and others have no knowledge, but the level of Shan Dawang, and the village party has a strong sense of concept, so they would rather die than take half a step forward from Jiangxia. Of course, Ma Wu would not be much better than them, but they would definitely think about fighting back to their hometown.

"The Green Forest has the prosperity of today, it depends entirely on the help of the official army. Every time the county soldiers come to suppress us, they cannot catch the 'bandits', so they use the people who are seeking survival around the Shuize to make up for their numbers and kill good people to make contributions. After a while, the originally wealthy Yunmengze has become a white land, and the inner walls are empty, which is all done by the official army. The Green Forest thieves were repeatedly put down many times in their memorials, but in fact they are getting stronger and stronger because the good people have been forced into thieves."

The earthquake destroyed houses and houses, floods swept across the country, and the drought was thousands of miles away from the ground, but they were not as powerful as soldiers and disasters. The speed and efficiency of the new army's royal army's severance of the people's survival was faster than any natural disaster!

Now this scene has also appeared in the front team. As Ma Wu said, after the official army encircled and suppressed, those whose homes were broken had no way to survive and could only enter the mountains and forests. Jia Fu's feathered bandits soared to thousands in just a few days.

But compared to the official army, he was still very weak and mostly tired. Although Jia Fu was young, his burden was getting heavier and heavier. Ma Wu invited him to join the Green Forest, but looking at the thousands of eyes behind him, Jia Fu shook his head.

"I have a responsibility for this matter, and I have to take them to live."

The green forest is far south, and there is a 20,000 army of the governor of Jingzhou on the road, and the large group of people cannot cross it. And the Guanjun County is too late. Jia Fu decided to take everyone to be bandits, slowly along the foothills and the path to the southwest, and to the bank of the Han River, a remote county named "Wudang", looking for a way to live in areas with weak government forces.

There is no banquet that will last forever. When Jia Fu said goodbye to Ma Wu, he cursed: "Ma Zizhang, you are a ugly captive, and you will save your life and wait for me to ask for compensation from you. Don't die."

"Jun Wen is the same. You are so good-looking, don't be fooled by swords. My third sister likes you the most. How about getting married when you meet again?"

Ma Wu and Jia Fu bowed and watched him and his subordinates disappear into the mountains and forests. They each had their own battle to fight. Jia Fude led his subordinates to survive, while Ma Wu wanted to return to Green Forest Mountain to participate in the battle that determined their life and death!

He would not escape because Wusheng eight or nine sons were full of danger everywhere and had no way to escape!

The road to the south is full of mountains and rivers, and there are many dangers. The biggest crisis comes from the official army that has captured the strong men everywhere.

Ma Wu originally wanted to be arrested and sneak in before finding out the news, but considering that the survival rate of the strong men was less than half, he had to give up. He simply used the same trick again and killed a group of officials who captured the strong men. Put on their clothes, Ma Wu hung a half-sealed seal on his waist, and began to swagger and walk the right path, passing by a group of officials who were arresting the bandits.

He was indeed a thief and was not panicked at all when he encountered a chaotic situation. In this chaotic situation, at least three groups of imperial envoys passed by in a month, and countless small officials were even more numerous. He didn't care about the search and inspection of the post station. He just took a look and let it go.

Ma Wu even dared to urge the soldiers to take food in the pavilion. In order to pretend to be more like an official army, he told his subordinates to be more vicious and would slap the table and stare at the table after a disagreement.

Ma Wu also observed that a new situation was emerging in the front team: not only the people, but even the powerful are suffering this time!

When the fifth reun hit the Li family in Wancheng, he asked for some skilled blacksmiths and casting workers. He felt that the powerful men in the front team seemed to have a little better life, so he hinted at Cheng Chong and asked the county court's imperial court and the governor of Jingzhou: "There may be a powerful man who assisted the Green Forest thieves and participated in the attack on the prince."

The five powers of the imperial court had time to come down, and the previous team's thorough investigation of the county's right-wing rank had begun.

The writing is thoroughly investigated and read as blackmail. The master of Jingzhou and the former team, the Yin of the Yin, were worried about the lack of food and fodder to enter the green forest. The Guandong rice and stones were thousands of coins, and the imperial court could not transfer food, so they could only make it up by themselves. The former team was severe last year and could not squeeze out too much oil and water from the people. The powerful people faced the three obstacles to the collection of grain, and protected the stored grain in the warehouse and refused to release it. Now they just made a coincidence to exploit it.

If it were an ordinary county magistrate, he would definitely be thinking about "No Forbidden Powers" and refused to take ruthless actions. However, as a loyal figure in the new dynasty, Zhen Fu asked the top three major surnames in each county to donate a sum of food to suppress the thief. If not, the less it would be helpful to the thief.

For a time, the front team was in chaos. When Ma Wu and his party passed by Anzhong County, they were given eight marquis by betraying Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong who had resisted the banner of Wang Mang, who was the first to resist Wang Mang, and were not spared. Didn’t your family have a marquis seven-committed city? Of course, they had to make some contributions to the court. Marquis of Shuai Li donated 2,000 stones of grain, and his seven sons were one thousand stones per person.

The Shuai Lihou family, who has always been a petty person, had to sting and hand over the food and set an example.

"It deserves it." Ma Wu gloated. Not all the powerful men were as generous as the Fan family in Huyang County, his hometown. In a county, the front team was crowded with nearly two million people, and the average household land was only more than 20 hectares. The conflict was only sharper than Guanzhong.

The next stop was Xinye. The heads of the Yin family and Deng family were summoned to the county town by the county Yin Yin. They did not donate food or release people. The two families could only hurry up and gathered all the food and fodder and transported them to Wancheng by car. The convoy lasted for several miles. This time, they were really bleeding. I think they must have hated the court behind their backs.

When Ma Wu and his party arrived at Baishui Township, Caiyang County, north of Lulin Mountain, Liu Xiu also drove a grain cart to Wancheng to redeem his uncle. Ma Wu had heard of the name of Liu Bosheng in Chongling, and now after observing this place, he found that the Liu family of Chongling was the most organized among the previous team's surnames.

Even the Li family in Wancheng allowed Ma Wu to enter and exit like a dustpan. Only the Liu family is different. Many people at the Pavilion and Inn have long been controlled by Liu Bosheng's guests, and passers-by cannot escape their eyes. Once a suspicious person is found, there is no need to report to the miser and county magistrate, but the Liu Yan brothers are first to inform them.

Ma Wu and others were safe and sound even after they left several counties, but they were seen in Baishui Township. When they were about to leave the countryside, a team of people chased after him. Seeing that Ma Wu could not escape, he could only turn around with everyone and prepare to fire and fight at any time.

The person who came was a burly man with a burly man. He led his men to keep his horse from afar and reported his name.

"I am Liu Yan, Chongling. I heard that a distinguished guest passed by our hometown and could not invite a banquet. I came to apologize!"

As he spoke, Liu Yan asked someone to carry a few tables of wine, meat and food from the carriage and deliver them to Ma Wu and others.

What is this way? The thieves in the green forest looked at each other, smelling the fragrance and being greedy. Ma Wu was surprised and suspicious, and only responded: "You don't ask what kind of identity we are and where we come from?"

Liu Yan shouted: "Who is important? When you arrive in your hometown, you are Liu Yan's guest. Why ask where you are? Please use it!"

Ma Wu hesitated for a moment, and asked his subordinates to eat and drink. After eating, he took a lot of them. Seeing that Liu Yan's subordinates had no intention of stopping him, he was quite surprised and personally rushed over and asked, "We are leaving, don't you ask where we are going?"

Liu Yan shook his head: "After eating Liu's rice and wine, I am my friend. No matter what your identities are, you can walk out of the countryside safely. Next time you come, Liu Yan will still toast the guests. If that's the case, why ask where to go?"

"I am worthy of being a famous hero in the front team!"

This kind of heroism and freedom made Ma Wu admire him. Generally speaking, at this critical moment, it was obvious that they were the Green Forest Army. Should they report it immediately or avoid it? And Liu Bosheng was so bold and did the opposite.

Ma Wu said intimately: "It seems that the rumors are true. Everyone in the front team wants to get along with Bo Sheng and is willing to abandon his family business and be his guest. It's a pity that I failed to meet this person when I was in the front team."

"But from now on, it's not just me... Liu Bosheng, this friend, Green Forest, has settled!"

...

On the other hand, the fifth reunion left Beijing in March, and when he returned, it was early May of the second year of Dihuang (21 AD).

In the two months when he was not in court, two major events happened to Chang'an.

First, Wang Mang died after losing his wife and son in succession. This time he died normally and did not have any impact on the court. However, the royal family was devastated for four months every month, which seemed unusual, resulting in rumors everywhere - in the fifth reunion, it was probably Wang Mang who defeated his children and grandchildren.

Wang Mang extended the habit of occupying the magpie's nest from the world of the living to the dead. Despite the opposition of the Huang royal family, Wang Yan, destroyed the Han Xiaowu and Xiaozhao Temples, and buried their descendants in it. He destroyed the old temple of the previous dynasty and regarded it as his own palace. He did not think about whether his unworthy descendants could suppress the heroic spirit of the former dynasty's heroic lord?

The deaths were too frequent, and the old Wang family urgently needed good things to cheer for joy. So as soon as the prince and the princess entered the capital, Wang Mang immediately gave them the title: the timid Wang Kuang was Gong Jiangong, the lustful Wang Xing was Gong Jiangong, the princess Wang Ye was Mu Xiu Ren, and Wang Jie was Mu Xiu Ren.

Then Wang Mang married Wang Jie, who had just been named the princess, to the son of the unlucky "Guan Nu, Good Attitude" who died. Later, An Gong Xubushe made a marriage that was not like a marriage. It seems that Wang Mang still wanted to support Wang Zhaojun's grandson as the owner of the grassland and have a friendship with the Xiongnu. Wang Mang, who was deeply influenced by Chen Tang, could not hold back this old face.

Second, Wang Mang announced another thing that he should have done but has been delayed until now.

"Absolutely amnesty the world!"

Doesn’t this mean that Ma’s terms of agreeing to get married have been met? For the first time since his time travel, the fifth reunion has come from the heart and sincerely sang praises to Wang Mang, and his voice has almost broken.

"Your Majesty is wise!"
