Yecheng (Linzhang, Hebei) is located in the Dongyang of Taihang, and the Yin of the Zhang River. It was more than 600 years ago. There were city settlements in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, the most famous one was the story of Ximen Bao governing Ye during the reign of Wei Wenhou. Almost everyone knows about his ruler of the river and the witch. During the Han Dynasty, Yecheng, as the capital of Wei County, was not as good as Handan in the north, and it was also a city in Hebei.

It was only ten days after Ma Yuan came here and actually got involved in the traitor group. It was an opportunity and luck.

He expected that the marriage between Ma and the fifth family was only at the beginning of last month. Generally speaking, if it were not for special attention, the news would slowly reach Wei, at least a few months or even a year or a half. What's more, the traffic in various places is blocked by thieves, which is even more delayed, so I'm afraid of nothing.

Ma Yuan has always been bold, so he entered the city with his original name, which soon attracted someone's attention.

Yan Chun, a native of Guanzhong County, was a guest under the disciple of Li Yan, the chief minister of Wei Cheng, and also paid attention to the movements of outsiders. He heard that a handsome Ma Yuan had arrived in Yecheng to set up a house and even taught a lesson to the minor officials who were greedy for his property, so he came to see it.

"It's indeed Wenyuan." Yan Chun also met Ma Yuan as a ranger when he was young. Now he was quite happy to see his old friend and asked about Ma Yuan's experience.

"I heard first that Wen Yuan was arrested by the imperial court and had no idea whereabouts. Xia Shi was amnesty, and you should have been relieved of your crime, so why didn't you go home? Why did you come here?"

Ma Yuan said: "I am alone and a common man with a criminal record. It is difficult to become an official again. Where can I go? The two brothers hated me for not doing my job properly and almost refused to recognize me. So they wanted to wander around in Yanzhao to see if there are any heroes who can join and do something. I heard that Wei Chengdayin has been following Xinlingjun recently and recruiting chivalrous people, so he came to take a look."

With someone's recommendation, Ma Yuan naturally became Li Yan's guest, but he was still around the group and could not participate in the rebellion.

Relying on his outstanding martial arts and conversation, this outstanding style soon stood out among the new guests, and finally attracted Li Yan's attention. After meeting Ma Yuan once, he promoted him from a low-key guest to a guest of honor, and the food changed from eating fish without a car to a meal with meat every meal, and there was also a carriage and horse pickup.

It’s not just about Ma Yuan’s skills. Li Yan is a little greedy for his two brothers, both of whom are territorial officials with real power. He thought that if Ma Yuan could be sent to persuade the Yangzhou governor and Zengshan led the rebellion and revival of the new Han Dynasty together, wouldn’t the success rate be much higher?

But it was a matter that directly led Ma Yuan to go further and into the rebellion center.

The instigator of Li Yan to rebel against the new planner was the calculator from Handan, named Wang Kuang.

Wang Kuang has been following Li Yan for many years. Seeing that the world is gradually becoming turbulent, he told Li Yan: "Since the new house ascended the throne, the people's land and slaves are not allowed to sell and buy, and the number of money is changed, and the number of troubles is collected, the military is invaded, the four barbarians are invaded, the people are resentful, and the thieves are rising, and the Han family should be revived. The king's surname is Li, and the Li family is Zheng, Zheng, and fire, and they should be the assistant of the Han."

Whenever Li Yan wants to hire a person, he must first pass Wang Kuang's level: that is, let Wang Kuang look at the faces of guests and officials through the curtain, and then use their birth date and eight characters to make divination.

As a result, when Wang Kuang saw Ma Yuan, he was quite surprised by his face. He calculated it with the method of tortoise divination and told Li Yan: "Ma Yuan, the new guest of the lord, is destined to become a general who revives the Han Dynasty and expands the territory!"

...

Because of Ai Zhang's randomly fabricated Jinkui Heavenly Book, Wang Mang included the guardians and the bread sellers among the four auxiliary and four generals, and regarded national affairs as a joke.

Li Yan, the great Yin of Wei Cheng who wanted to make Wang Mang rebellion, was not much better. He believed in Wang Kuang, so he valued Ma Yuan even more. He asked Yan Chun to pull Ma Yuan into the gang and asked him about his opinion on the court. Ma Yuan naturally expressed dissatisfaction. Li Yan believed that this person was indeed available, so he asked Yan Chun to explain the situation to him.

Everything was as Ma Yuan hoped, but he wanted to be the "General of the Restoration of Han" in the end, but Ma Wenyuan was fooled.

"Would it be too hasty?" Ma Yuan kindly reminded the group of thieves that those who had just joined for a few days should investigate again. It is easy for something to be entrusted with important tasks so quickly.

"No need to be surprised." Yan Chun told Ma Yuan: "Brother Wen Yuan, don't think of me like this, he is also a 'Assistant General'!"

Only then did Ma Yuan realize that one of the people who were included in the core of the rebellion by Li Yan was counted as one, and all the officials were promised, the literati and clerk were the nine ministers, and the warriors were the generals.

What are the destruction of the new general, the sweeping of the new general, the supporting Han general, and the promoting Han general, at least a dozen. If they can do it, Ma Yuan cannot do it?

Seeing that the fake was about to become true if he continued to play, Ma Yuan quickly sent Zhang Yu, who was with him, to try to contact the fifth reunion and send a message to Yecheng, telling him that the truth and truth, and thought that the Internet could be closed.

After all, it was hard for Li Yan and Wang Kuang to accomplish great things in just ten days after Ma Yuan entered Yecheng.

The thieves in Qingxu and Jingzhou were deficient in the lack of documents, banners, systems, and no clear goals. Li Yan and Wang Kuang, who were planning to rebel, went the opposite direction, and like Wang Mang, were too addicted to theoretical construction.

Those slogans that the fifth reunion heard in Dongjun were compiled by Wang Kuang for Li Yan. They had a good idea and carried out the matter under the banner of Emperor Wen of Han, which the people missed. Then they needed traditional friendly Xiongnu and Yue people to send troops to help to boost their courage.

Even the time for the matter was decided: November of the fourth year of Dihuang, there was still more than a year, which was still early.

Li Yan was born as a filial and honest person. He really rebelled and failed for three years.

What's even more excessive is that Wang Kuang actually helped Li Yan to calculate the fate of the four auxiliary, three dukes, four generals, nine ministers and six supervisors under Wang Mang. It is expected that the good and bad luck will be good and bad. After the new dynasty is destroyed, who can surrender and who will kill them, a total of more than 100,000 words.

But if things are planned too carefully, they will often be slapped in the face by reality. The Buzhe Wang Kuang falsely said that Liu Xin, who was supported by Zhai Yi, was not dead, and his pseudonym was Fan Chong. He was the leader of the bandits in Taishan, hoping to bring the rebel army to help the momentum.

However, the envoy sent by Li Yan to Mount Tai has not returned for a long time. He was either robbed by hungry refugees on the road or was robbed and killed by bandits on Mount Tai.

Seeing that contacting Fan Chong could not be reached, Wang Kuang met Li Yan and proposed another plan.

"Lord, since you want to restore Han, you must support a Han emperor, otherwise your reputation will be unjust."

Li Yan agreed: "But the real Liu Xin is missing, and it is difficult for Fan Chong to get along. Otherwise, we will support the Liu clan of Hebei?"

Hebei established many vassal states during the Han Dynasty. In addition to Zhongshan, where Emperor Ping of Han came from, there were three places, Hejian, Zhao and Zhending. Now King Liu Shang of Hejian is still alive. Handan has Liu Lin, the son of King Miao of Zhao, and Zhending, and Zhending has Liu Yang, the son of King Zhending Gong. They were princes in Han, and in Xin, powerful and powerful. They were allies in Li Yan's heart.

Wang Kuang shook his head: "They are all descendants of Emperor Xiaojing. The lineage is too far away and it is probably difficult to convince the public. Recently, I have found a royal family with a purer bloodline."

Li Yan was overjoyed: "Is it the descendants of Emperor Xiaoxuan?"

As everyone knows, with Cheng, Ai and Pingguo, the descendants of Emperor Yuan of Han were extinct, and even the Ruziying supported by Wang Mang could only be selected from Emperor Xuan of Han.

Wang Kuang shook his head: "Look closer!"

"Can you know 'Liu Ziyu'?"

This is a rumor that has been lingering in the government and the country for decades, and Li Yan certainly knows it.

Emperor Ai of Han had no children because he was unable to have children or was not interested in women at all. However, Emperor Cheng of Han had many children.

Many concubines, such as Empress Xu and Concubine Ban, were favored by Emperor Cheng of Han and had sons, but these children either died young or disappeared.

Where did they go? At that time, the Sili School Captain impeached them, saying that they were all harmed by Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Zhaoyi's sisters. The emperor in the Yeting Court gave birth to a son and died, and countless people were injured by drinking medicine. The dead babies were buried under the walls of the Yeting Prison, and forced their mother to commit suicide. Six servants in the palace were executed, with their words firmly.

He also said that one of the children was taken away by the palace chief and had no idea whereabouts.

This incident was a big deal, but after a thorough investigation, there was no further information. The Wang family of the foreign relative just sent Zhao Zhaoyi to death.

Although Emperor Cheng's son was not found, the royal gossip has spread throughout the court and the public.

Such as Feiyan and Hede sisters, the stunning combination of thin and fat, the palm dance and gentle place, made the men talk about it with relish.

The women in the market focused on the eve of Emperor Cheng's death. Zhao Hede was drunk and took seven pills of "Shenghui Gummy" to Emperor Cheng. As a result, the palace maids only heard Emperor Cheng and Hede laughing in the tent. The next day, Emperor Cheng died of the sun.

As for Zhao Feiyan's incident of adultery with others in order to get pregnant, it has been rumored that it has been rumored. The people do not understand the major affairs of the government and do not dare to talk about it, but the matter between men and women in the bed, hehe, who doesn't understand?

There is also the son of Emperor Cheng who was rumored to have been sent out of the palace. It is said that he did not die, but was protected by loyal old eunuchs and lived among the people. This incident was spread throughout the world together with Emperor Cheng and Empress Zhao’s love news. How popular has it been? The old farmers in the fields of Zhao and Wei land can talk about it with relish.

Li Yan knew that about ten years ago, someone blocked the carriage of Minister Wang Mang, claiming to be "Liu Ziyu, the wife of Emperor Cheng", and then shouted that Liu would be restored and asked Wang Mang to abdicate quickly.

Isn't this seeking death? After Wuwei Siming torture and interrogation, the man confessed that he was just pretending, and the matter was over.

But Wang Kuang told Li Yan: "That man is just a substitute, sent to test Wang Mang, and the real Liu Ziyu is still alive!"

"Why not speak early?" Li Yan was very surprised and did not doubt that Liu Ziyu's story was spread too widely. The people hated the new policy and missed the former Han Dynasty and were unable to stop it. If this flag could be raised, the Liu surname and heroes from all counties in Hebei would definitely be responded to.

Wang Kuang smiled and said, "Liu Ziyu was called Wang Lang. He escaped from the persecution of the demon queen Zhao Feiyan and fled to Shu. He was proficient in astronomy and calendar, proficient in the art of face-to-face fortune-telling, and also took divination as his career. It was precisely because of his discovery that Hebei had the spirit of the emperor and told me to assist the Dayin."

"Now Liu Ziyu realizes that there will be major changes in the world, and he has also moved to Hebei and will arrive in Yecheng soon!"

...

The "Liu Ziyu" who didn't know whether he had arrived in Hebei or not, but the fifth reunion had indeed set foot on this land in Baimajin.

Guo Hong, the official of Wuweishishi, asked the fifth reunion: "Doctor Guanglu, what are you going to do next?"

Although Geng Chun, the deputy general manager of Jizhou, had no news yet, with the three thousand soldiers from Zhiting County, and Ma Yuan as an undercover agent, the fifth city had more confidence.

Wu Lun looked at the map of Jizhou Zheng: "According to Wenyuan's message, those who participated in Li Yan's plan of rebellion were just his guests and the heads who were persuaded to participate, only dozens of people, and most officials were not aware of it."

The head of Zhiting County, who was traveling with him, proposed: "In my opinion, it is better to bluff and set up more flags. General Jing Shang, who is known as the court, led an army of 30,000 to the city, surrounded a corner of Ye, and shot an edict to enter the city to criticize Li Yan's crime, threatening to only punish the evildoers. What will happen if the soldiers and officials in the city are in panic?"

Well, it is likely to backfire and let the whole city unite by Li Yan to resist...

It's a good idea to put it in a normal dynasty, but don't forget that this is Daxin!

In Puyang, the swords of the Xin Dynasty could no longer kill the officials of the Xin Dynasty, let alone the Wei land.

After all, the new army is too famous, whether it is the royal army or the county and state soldiers, especially Jing Dan's relatives, the Grand Tutor Xizhong and Jing Shang, who were ordered by the emperor to pacify the Qingxu thieves, but they were not good at attacking the thieves and abused the people. They were indulged in the past, and the people in Yecheng were still afraid that they would slaughter the city!

Among the soldiers of Zhiting County, there were many people who wanted to enter Yecheng to grab a wave.

In this situation, if you don’t cut the knot quickly, once it gets slow, it will become a dead knot.

Although you are a married man and are not a single person without any concerns, you should adopt a more secure strategy.

After being frightened by the people in Puyang City, he wanted to enter the city again to take risks. However, if he wanted to accomplish great things, he had to take risks...

If you hesitate, you will lose!

Fifth Ren made a decisive decision: "Aren't Li Yan still recruiting heroes? I will bring people into the city with a pseudonym, contact Wen Yuan, and wait for an opportunity to kill Li Yan."

"Capture the thief, capture the king first!"
