In late November of the second year of Dihuang, the former team of Jingzhou, General Nayan of Wancheng shogunate.

Yan You's head was even more gray than when he was a matchmaker for Di Wulun, but fortunately he was not blinded. When he talked to General Chen Mao, General Zhizong, who went south to wipe out the Green Forest Army, asked him:

"General Zhizong, you have just come from the capital. You should know the situation in the east. According to what you see, Fan Chong, a bandit on Mount Tai, is it true that Jing Shang said, can you calm down in spring?"

Jing Shang has been ordered to attack Mount Tai for half a year, and has been reporting good news but not bad news. Now that he doesn’t fight, the lies will not be fulfilled. He can only speak a big talk to the court, March is Pingtai.

Yan You, who was on another front in the south, did not believe it. He had always been worried that the collapse of the East would lead to a battle on both sides of the court.

Chen Mao and Yan You have a very similar resume. As a core confidant of Wang Mang, he was also a Grand Sima. Later, he was dismissed. Now he is a rank sect and is quite too common, but he has added the general's name to be inappropriate.

Seeing Yan You worried about the East, Chen Mao did not mention Jing Shang and Fan Chong at first, but talked about the situation in Jiping County (Beihai County) in Qingzhou.

"The Qingxu County is invincible in its control of the thieves and is always timid and afraid to act. Only Tian Kuang, the Lianshang of Yiping County, has always been decisive and brave. In the summer and autumn this year, Tian Kuang mobilized more than 40,000 people aged 18 and over to issue weapons to their arsenal. The general order was simplified and engraved on stone tablets to promulgate soldiers to resist bandits."

"After hearing this, Fan Chong and Lu's mother felt that Ji Ping was not easy to deal with, so she did not dare to enter the county boundary. Afterwards, Tian Kuang impeached himself because he did not issue the tiger talisman and arbitrarily recruited the army, and offered a plan to combat the thieves."

After Yan You came to Wancheng, he had to learn about these things through Chang'an, and became interested: "Oh, what's the plan?"

Chen Mao said: "Tian Kuang said that when the thief first started, he was like a newborn bird, with little strength. The ministers and soldiers could capture him. The reason why they became more and more powerful was that the chief officials were not concerned about it, the county bullies his county, and the county bullies the court. In order to avoid the emperor's reproach, there were actually one hundred people, only ten people, but actually one thousand people, only one hundred people."

"As a result, it finally spread to several states, and the court sent generals and envoys to supervise them from layers of time. However, the generals from Chang'an did not know the terrain of counties and the people's conditions, and could not lead officials and soldiers to fight. Therefore, they were often defeated by thieves, and were damaged by officials' aura, and they were only expendable money and food for the people."

"In the summer, fortunately, the imperial court pardon was pardoned, and the thieves in Qingxu wanted to disband. However, in order to repay the merits, the general envoys went on to attack, which shocked the thieves and was afraid that they would be killed. No one believed in the pleading, which increased to tens of thousands in tens of thousands in tens of days. In addition, the people were afraid of the king's army, which was even more serious than the thieves. This is why there were many thieves in Qingxu."

Yan Youpin said: "Tian Kuang is reasonable every sentence. He pointed out the reason, but did he put forward a strategy?"

Chen Mao said: "I asked Your Majesty to seek full conquest and generals, envoys to rest the county and county, and delegate the tiger talisman and military power to the prefectures and the county governors, allowing large-scale recruitment and training more brave soldiers in the county. Then, each prefecture and county will jointly protect the country, take advantage of the winter to strengthen the walls and clear the thieves, and make the thieves tired. This will be achieved by pursuing or suppressing them."

Yan You did not agree with Ji Pinglian's strategy of leading the field custody, but it also has reference value. However, when Chen Mao smiled bitterly, he knew that the memorial had not been adopted.

"Tian Kuang even said a big talk in his memorial and asked His Majesty to 'Appoint the minister Kuang as a thief in the two states, and he will pacify them'."

Yan You knew Wang Mang’s actions very well, and was shocked, knowing that Tian Kuang was not good: “How will Your Majesty reply?”

"Your Majesty said, if Tian Kuan wants to get all the green, how can the herds of Xu and the two states?"

Chen Mao sighed and said, "Then he secretly sent someone to replace him on the grounds that Tian Kuang was defeated by Fan Chongtai and lost thousands of people. He sent an envoy to give Tian Kuang an imperial seal. Although Tian Kuang was strong in the county, he did not dare to resist the imperial edict. He followed the envoy west to Chang'an, and was named Bo by His Majesty and appointed him as the Grand Prime Minister of the Shiwei County."

After hearing this appointment, Yan You only stamped his feet: "Tian Kuang is here, Qingzhou can still resist the thieves. Moreover, Qi will be defeated!"

Since Tian Kuang recruited tens of thousands of troops without authorization, crossed the county border to attack the thieves, and asked to take over Qingxu's military affairs, Yan You guessed that he would not last long, because Wang Mang hated people who overstepped power, and it was only three things. Tian Kuang was too active, which obviously exceeded the emperor's bottom line, which instead aroused Wang Mang's fear of evil.

Why didn't Yan You, the "General Nayan" who was nominally in charge of the southern military? When he left Chang'an in autumn, he was allowed to take more than a hundred officials and soldiers on a boat from Wei to the river, and then go out to Huayin to take the brigade, allowing Yan You to recruit soldiers from Yuzhou and Jingzhou. If he was involved in the recruitment and dispatch of more than five people, he had to ask the court for orders first.

Yan You sighed at that time: "If you don't send a general to the military talisman, you must ask for it first and then move, just like tying Han Lu's dog with a rope, and wanting it to hunt beasts."

Having said that, things have to be done. Yan You recruited 10,000 troops and trained in Wancheng. Under the pressure of the court urging him to send troops, he did not go south until spring.

Wang Mang was a little impatient and sent Chen Mao to urge him, saying that Dongfang Jingshang promised to wipe out the Taishan bandits in the spring, Yan You and Dou Rong, can you do it at the same time?

Wang Mang was not in a hurry. His world was already full of crises. The famine in Kanto led to a sharp increase in refugees, but military affairs were the most urgent.

After settling down and resting, Yan You saw a wooden slip with beautiful words when he was handling official duties again.

But it was the grain official Liu Xiu and Liu Wen, who resigned again after two months!

...

Liu Xiu accidentally became Yan You's grain official, but it was not Yan You who took the initiative to recruit him, but Liu Xiu came to the door before that. When Yan You first arrived in Wancheng to establish the shogunate, the military rations were still crowdfunded by the powerful men in the front team. Liu Xiu then came to sue for his own lawsuit, believing that the Liu family of Chongling had been taxed three times in the past year, and had paid 26,000 hu of rent and a few thousand yuan in the money for the manuscript, which was equivalent to half the harvest, and he had already tried his best.

It's still a matter of blame for the fifth reunion. He forced the prince to attack and contact Haoyou, forcing them to have to pay for food and clean up.

There were several powerful men who came to sue together, but Yan You noticed that Liu Xiu, who was beautiful and bearded, did not treat others, but only talked to Liu Xiu. This conversation was found that Liu Xiu answered it very well and loved it very much.

I heard that Liu Xiu had a friendship with the fifth family, so I was not coincidental, so I became a grain official.

The reason why Liu Xiu was half-rejected was not that he suddenly had hope for Daxin, but that he had the idea of ​​"knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle."

When Liu Xiu left General Nayan's shogunate and returned to his hometown Caiyang, it was the end of the second year of the Dihuang.

In the Chongling Liu family, the small rebel gang is still operating in secret. The eldest brother Liu Yan and old friend Zhu You all asked him: "How?"

What he asked was Yan You, what was this newly convened new army, and Liu Yun's plan to unite Green Forest rebellion was delayed by Yan You who came suddenly.

After drinking the water in the cup, Liu Xiu said slowly: "Yan Boshi is worthy of being a famous general in the world. He has all the skills in training and camping. In the past two months, I have learned a lot from him."

Liu Yan frowned: "Wish Uncle Wen, what if Yan You leads his army south to Qinfeng, Nanjun, and Lulin Zhuli win or lose?"

"It is hard to say." Liu Xiu said: "The way to use military forces is to have military power, military situation, military skills, etc."

"Yan You belongs to military power and power. He has served as the Grand Marshal for a long time, opposing the attack on the four barbarians and defending the country with righteousness. He also led as a general and attacked Juli, used strange troops to kill Yihou. He also paid attention to the plan first and then fight, and he used all night in the shogunate to demonstrate military situations with General Dou Rong and others. In addition, the situation was included, and the yin and yang were included, and he could be called a versatile talent."

"But I observed him for a long time, and after asking questions several times, I found that Yan You also had weaknesses."

Liu Yan was overjoyed: "What is it?"

Liu Xiu said: "Yan Gong is worried about the world and always keeps his eyes on the overall situation. He is thinking too much. He is more suitable to be a general, not to be a general. What's more, the emperor also constantly urges him to send troops and sends people to guard against them, so that Yan You cannot arrange according to his preferences. If the Yin-Yang family of the Soldiers cannot control the overall situation and fight for only one corner, they are afraid that they will not be able to defeat the situation of the Soldiers."

As for Yan You's army, Liu Xiu also took advantage of his position to find out which lieutenants there were in Yan You's troops, and the army's Sima knew them well.

In the past, Liu Xiu only focused on breeding and managing land, reading books of sages and interacting with the world's light heroes. This was the first time he was able to enter the army. Although Liu Xiu himself did not notice it, he did have a good talent in military use.

This position allowed him to open the door to a new world, but Liu Xiu did not plan to continue working.

He explained to his brother: "Once upon a moment, the food officers are at risk. Yan You is strict in governing the army. Four of them have been killed within two months!"

"Secondly, I often ask the rich people in Haoyou to raise grain, which is easy to offend them, which is not conducive to our future contact with the heroes in the front team."

Although Yan You and the army of the former team doctor were pressed, after being forced to hand over several food and fodder, the former team Hao You even hated Xin Dynasty even more, and even exceeded his fear of the Green Forest Army.

So Liu Xiu thought that it was time to withdraw before the army headed south to attack the green forest.

"I have placed several of my children in the clan and some of my old friends in Chongling as minor officials, and I can still know the truth and reality of the army."

Of course, Liu Yan hopes that his younger brother can come back: "Yan You allow you to resign?"

Liu Xiu shook his head: "No, I have to take a break for a few days on the grounds that my uncle was ill."

"What will Uncle Wen say?"

Liu Xiu heard that the fifth repentance had repeatedly quit, but he remembered it in his heart, but this time he had to use a method that he had never tried before.

That's... a tough refusal!

As if prophecy, Liu Xiu said what he would do in a few days: "The guests under his brother are not often robbing thefts, drinking too much, and even hurting people. They are available every year. How can they be missing in the twelfth lunar month? It is said that it was actually what I did. After beating the man, he left in a hurry and fled away from the officials."

The crime is not serious, and the government will not be difficult for the Liu family of Chongling, but Liu Xiu can forcibly escape: "Although I am ashamed of the kindness of Mr. Yan, I would rather leave early than betray him again at the end of the day."

"Where can Uncle Wen go to avoid the officials?"

Liu Yan sneered: "It's not Weicheng County, Jizhou, right? The fifth Boyu also invited you to be the clerk of the little master's room."

Liu Xiu shook his head and asked those who were ambitious and prepared to do a big fight in their hometown. Because of a word and a letter, it was difficult to leave their hometown, especially after the Fifth Reunion pacified Li Yan's rebellion, it was even more impossible for them to be together.

However, Liu Xiu always had a premonition that the fifth reunion would probably not give up, and would send someone to come again. He hid himself, not only to escape from the official position, but also to avoid the fifth reunion.

"Han and Xin are incompatible!"

Liu Yan thought so, and felt that the fifth reunion was a loyal minister of the new dynasty and was destined to be a member of the Liu family. He had a lot of disgusts about wanting to compete with his younger brother's fifth reunion.

"This is not necessarily the case." Liu Xiu still held a glimmer of hope and advised his brother: "Although he is an enemy today, even Yan You and the fifth generation, who are now new officials, may be able to be Han officials in the future. Many people are now working for the pseudo-official court, and are mostly tied by the clan and cannot help themselves. Uncle Wen only hopes that his brother will not slaughter the new officials when he is in charge of the future, but should win them over, so that they can accomplish great things."

"I know it." Liu Yan nodded, and the plan was decided. Where did his brother want to go?

"Yingchuan."

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "This is learned by Yan Youdu. You should look at the overall situation in your work. You should not just focus on one corner. I heard that Ying Ru is so handsome. Let me go and see. If there are comrades, you can recruit your brothers for a recruitment."

As soon as Ah Xiu came back, she had decided to leave. Liu Yan was a little reluctant to part with his younger brother, but raised his hand and patted him, but only laughed and said, "Uncle Wen, there is not much time left, work hard!"

Work hard is Liu Xiu’s favorite word, and he also bowed to his brother: “Brother, you should work hard too!”

"Restore the career of Emperor Gaozu and set the autumn of all ages!"

"Everything will be announced in the third year of Dihuang (22 AD)!"

...

ps: (Liu Xiu) was the former Chunling Marquis of Ji's father and went to the Grand Sima Mansion. He sued for suing the Dihuang for 26,000 hu of rent before Renyin in December of the first year of the Dihuang, and the money was worth tens of thousands of yuan. At that time, Zhu Fu, a native of Wan, also sued for the rent for (Yan) You for his uncle. You stopped talking to the emperor and did not consider Fu. - "Dongguan Han Ji" Liu Xiu and Yan You met one time in history.
