It was because he had been friends with Bao Yong for more than ten years and knew that he had a grudge against Wang Mang that Feng Yan felt that he would open a door of convenience. But today he suddenly heard Bao Yong talk about resuming the Han Dynasty and even brought himself into the group. His attitude was more urgent than mentioned many years ago.

"I……"

Feng Yan thought it was not good, and he agreed immediately, nor refused, and finally said:

"I... don't I have a heart for the Han Dynasty?"

After stuttering for a while, Feng Yan's words suddenly became smooth and he began to trace his family background: "My great-grandfather was the first general's name was Fengshi. He was a Han family's envoy. He studied military books and was envoyed to the Western Regions. When he encountered the rebellion of Shache Kingdom, he conscripted the soldiers of the Western Regions, attacked Shache, quelled the riots, and was influential to the Western Regions. Later, he became the left general of Guangluxun, and entered the inner court. He led his army to quell the Qiang Rebellion in Longxi for Emperor Xiaoyuan, and was often the general of Zhechong."

"Feng is not only deeply loved by Han De, but also became a relative of the Han family. The daughter of the first general was Feng Jieyu of Emperor Xiaoyuan, and the Empress Dowager Zhongshan was also the Empress Dowager Zhongshan! He used his body as a woman to save the ferocious beast giant bear, and later raised two generations of King Xiao of Zhongshan and Emperor Xiaoping."

To count it, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty also had some relatives with Feng Yan.

But the emperor of the Han family was the innocent emperor who gave the death of Empress Dowager Feng and made the Feng family decline together. In the end, Wang Mang restored the reputation of Empress Dowager Feng.

"Jun Chang has a grudge against Wang, why am I the same?"

Feng Yan could not show his complicated thoughts, and he had to say it in anger and simple way: "My grandfather was named Ye Wang. When Emperor Xiaocheng, he almost replaced Wang Feng as the Grand Sima General. If this matter could be accomplished, how could Wang Mang usurp the throne later? Unfortunately, his grandfather was finally excluded by the Wang family and was depressed in his hometown. When I was young, my brother, the Marquis of Guannei, was removed from his family and was defeated."

"It is precisely because of this that I have not been in the new school for a long time. Later, I responded to Lian Dan's recruitment, and it is also... to give it a try. I hope to persuade him to unite with the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to support troops to restore the Han Dynasty."

After talking nonsense, finally putting himself in the position of re-Han, Feng Yan continued: "But General Gengshi refused my advice, and I left him."

Bao Yong was overjoyed: "Jingtong is indeed the same as my ambitions, and I did not misunderstand anyone."

Feng Yan also smiled and said, "So, I will form an alliance with Shangdang for the fifth emperor of Wei Cheng County!"

Bao Yong's smile came to an abrupt end: "Are you aide to the Fifth Reun?"

That is not an ordinary staff member, but a rude person, and a rude person.

Bao Yong's attitude was already cold, and he looked at Feng Yan with caution and said, "Jing Tong needs to explain this matter well. Isn't the fifth reunion a well-known loyal dog in the new room?"

It is hard not to think of what the Fifth Reun did. After all, he is also a favorite minister of the emperor in recent years. He welcomed the prince back to the court for the emperor, rushed to Wei, captured Li Yan, and defeated his plan to restore the Han Dynasty. Although Bao Yong did not participate in that matter, it did not prevent him from sighing after hearing this. If Wei Cheng could do something, Shangdang would join hands with him, it would be enough to make a big fuss in Hebei. This damn Fifth Reunion!

"Wrong, very wrong!"

Feng Yan pointed to his chest and said, "I have expressed my thoughts to you, and I am determined to restore the Han Dynasty. How can a person like me help the new thief? The reason why he was involved in the work of the fifth ethics is because he was also openly loyal to Wang Mang, but in fact he secretly looked forward to the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

Bao Yong was still full of suspicion, but it was difficult for Feng Yan: "Wang Mang was promoting the revival of the Han family back then, but what was the result? He became a traitor. Similarly, Li Yan said that he was restoring the Han Dynasty, but did he actually support a royal family in the Liu family as a banner?"

They didn't know that Li Yan planned to make "Liu Ziyu" the emperor. Feng Yanyan said, "In my opinion, Li Yan was just using the people's hearts to seek power for himself. In addition, he was not intimate in his actions, and was attacked by the local tyrant Li family, Wu'an, and was defeated by the capture and laughed at the world."

"This kind of person raises the banner of restoring Han, not only will he not succeed, but he will harm the kind-hearted and ambitious people who have been deceived by him."

"The fifth uncle fish was helpless to capture Li Yan. Even if he didn't do it, Li Yan would collapse."

Bao Yongke is not that easy to deceive: "How can I explain this when the Fifth Lun sent troops to defend Wang Mang's ancestral tomb?"

"This is also a policy of constituency." Feng Yan tried hard to make excuses for the Fifth Reun: "The army in the eastern expedition was on the side. If Yuancheng was trapped in the hands of refugees, Wang Mang was furious and asked Gengshi, the Grand Tutor asked for punishment, and removed the Fifth Reun position, wouldn't he be able to do anything?"

"Please believe me, the fifth replies will never be loyal to the new room."

"Where is the evidence?"

"The evidence is that the Fifth Reun previously asked me to deliberately make him recruit more than a thousand old subordinates of the Red Eyebrow Army to detour through Hedong, Bingzhou, Shangdang, and pass through Wei. This is because of his selfish desire."

Bao Yong was a smart man, and immediately knew: "No wonder you suddenly came to Shangdang. It turned out that you were going to be a lobbyist for the fifth reunion and let the county let his old subordinates go. How did I know that this is not a fake Yu attack on Guo?"

Feng Yan smiled and said, "Your heart is too heartbroken, and you have more than a thousand tired old subordinates. How much threat can you face the Shangdang County soldiers? Wei Cheng was not Jin State, but was dependent on Shangdang."

"When I asked him about it in Yecheng, the fifth reunion often lamented that the world was shady and didn't know where to go. He would not die for Wang Mang like Lian Dan. Since the fifth reunion is not an enemy and a neighbor with Shangdang, why should we make enemies with him? It's better to sell a favor, so that the king will not have any worries when he does great things."

"The fifth reunion is now in the great county, and he recruits refugees as soldiers to strengthen his integrity. Within a hundred miles, he will give meat and wine to the heroes and seek loyalty and wisdom like me, just to accumulate strength and protect himself. After the changes in the world, he can promote the benefit of the country and eliminate the harm of ten thousand people!"

Feng Yan bowed to Bao Yong: "I hope you will give me some time. I will be able to convince the fifth relationship and change his flag and join the great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty!"

Bao Yong still refused to let go: "In this way, does Jingtong want to be a two-sided lobbyist?"

Feng Yan said seriously: "No, I have only met the fifth family for a few times, but I have been in love with Jun Chang for more than ten years. My loyalty to him is not as good as General Gengshi Lian Dan, but I am just a false conspiracy."

This is the truth. In terms of the relationship, Bao Yong and Feng Yan are closer and trusting, but in terms of development prospects, Wei Cheng, the fifth county, is better.

So, you know, it's hard for me to choose.

Feng Yan didn't want to eat both ends, but to complete the big words he said in front of the fifth reunion, and to know that Bao Yong's nature was the only way.

After much persuasion, Bao Yong reluctantly agreed and took Feng Yan to meet the Shangdang Dayin who obeyed Bao Yongyan, promising that he would not obstruct the old subordinates of the fifth republic and would also provide him with some food and clothing.

After finally completing the task, Feng Yan was exhausted and was exhausted, but today's incident also inspired him.

"It seems that the restoration of Han is indeed the general trend."

He followed the king's army through Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and then traveled to Jizhou and Bingzhou, and found that the people's thoughts on restoring the Han Dynasty were getting stronger and stronger. More than ten years ago, people in the world despised and disgusted with the Han family, and now they missed it.

Everyone knew that Wang Mang had messed up everything, life was not as good as before, and natural disasters were so frequent, so it was better to be in the Han Dynasty.

All the complaints from the past are gone, only the human brain has been beautified and the nostalgia for the past.

Just as the Han Confucians liked to portray the three generations as ideal prosperous times, under the narration of the older generation, their children and grandchildren would feel that the days of the former Han Dynasty were much better than that of the present.

Feng Yan said intimately: "Now the country is in chaos, and people are more polite than poets who think of Zhao Gong. Do you love his Gantang, let alone his descendants?"

"Heaven will follow what people sing and dance."

Restoring the Han Dynasty is the slogan that is most convincing and easy to gather. But although Bao Xuan shouts loudly, he is also confused who to support the Han Dynasty. Everyone is waiting for a hero to emerge.

So the only thing missing now is a flag.

Feng Yan felt that after he returned to Yecheng, he really had to consider it and look for an opportunity to persuade the fifth reunion.

Should we become the first force to raise the Han flag?

"If you can sing for the first place in the world, Shangdang Bao Yong and others will definitely reach a true alliance with Yecheng. Find a descendant of the Zhao King to support the emperor, such as the Zhao Prince Liu Lin in Handan in the north, and more than 20 counties controlled by Zhao Liu. Such a huge force will be willing to cooperate and turn enemies into friends with the fifth relationship. Zhao will make an edict to make a decision, and great events will be expected."

Feng Yan is a person who likes to make his own ideas and has already imagined it: "If this can be done, the fifth relationship can be the prime minister of Han!"

...

On the one hand, the Fifth Reun sent Feng Yan to form an alliance with Shangdang so that the old subordinates could pass smoothly, and also rushed to train the new recruits.

"prick!"

"receive!"

"Thorn again!"

On the open ground near the Zhangshui River, two thousand soldiers were in the array of suns, and conducted monotonous wooden spear training on the straw man in front of them.

The slogan given to the officers by the Fifth Reunion is "As long as you can't practice, you can practice to death." When fighting, it would be great that these newly recruited recruits could find where their legs were. The most reliable thing is the sense of discipline and muscle memory that was remembered by whipping again and again.

Of course, it was not the fifth rein who liked to corporal punishment of soldiers. He also tried to confinement and prevented food and drink. However, when he opened the next day, he saw that the soldiers inside were shrinking into a ball, and they all slept soundly on the hard ground.

So more of this was changed to punishment for hard work, but the soldiers were all from hardships, most of whom were refugees, and they picked up the manure and farming, but they were much easier than swinging a knife and holding a spear. After doing the work, they even smiled at the officers while wiping their sweat, asking if they could continue working tomorrow.

The final conclusion is the most effective.

After the fifth reunion entered Yecheng, the three hundred prisoners recruited by him had been promoted to officials and had become chiefs, sergeant commanders, and the iron marks on their faces or hands looked scary. Although they were of low origin, the soldiers did not dare to despise them. These prisoners were beaten for many years and knew how to beat people the most.

Further up there is the old team of the fifth family. The clan members, or the military officials who brought home from the New Qin Dynasty and came to Wei, were experienced and loyal, and became soldiers and military officers one after another.

Therefore, almost all the three thousand new recruits trained in half a year came from the bottom, all of whom had no way out, and were no different from Zhu Tufengyong back then.

"I have been a jailed for ten years and have never eaten a meal. Everyone despises me and insults me. I work hard on weekdays. I clearly agreed to have a lenient sanctions, but because there were not enough jails and slaves in the county, I delayed my hair every year and finally got gray."

"It was the fifth man who pulled us out of the abyss!"

"In the past, I walked around the city with a thatched rope tied in my hand and lowered my head. Others were not too tempted to see the tattoo on my face, and they were all laughing. But now I was wearing military uniforms and walking around the city with a knife hanging around my waist, with my head high. Others were only afraid to see the tattoo on my face! Whoever dared to laugh again, whoever dared to glare at me again."

"Mr. Nai dared to draw his sword and kill him! Destroy his whole family and let those who laugh at me become slaves!"

Every day when we gather with a full meal, the old traditions of each battalion would ask a person who could speak on the stage to tell his experience. Most people said that if they were not recruited into the army, they might be hungry on the banks of the river.

Of course, there are often times when they are wrong. After all, the components are of varying quality, and many people have worked as thieves. The idea of ​​superiority and inferiority and the prevalence of the weak for decades have long been established. If it were not for strict military discipline, they might have done anything they could have taken power.

Whenever the fifth reunion comes to the military camp, it is the happiest time for the soldiers.

Fifth Reunion has been running between Yecheng and the military camps very frequently in the past few months. Government affairs cannot be governed, so the army must not let go.

It’s not that they can’t trust Ma Yuan and others, but that the soldiers must remember who provided food and clothing, and provide them with a soldier to improve their personal status by joining the army and finding a way out in troubled times.

The grassroots officers sing white-faced, while the fifth reunion is red-faced. Every time they come, they must bring meat and wine to reward the army.

Wei had a lot of people and few land, and there was no land for the soldiers to station. The fifth reincarnation simply asked them to be professional soldiers, and the training was very full. He had already written his experience in training Zhu Tufeng into bamboo slips. As a training strategy, it was much more detailed than the military strategy in detail.

From the most basic ranks of standing formations, to familiarizing themselves with the golden drums and flags, to the current military training, it is more systematic than the original Zhu Tufengyong's training, and from time to time, he also drove to the east of the county to drive away the other thieves from the Red Eyebrows to practice.

The fifth reun also reminded the officers: "But this time we used troops to Wu'an, which was like Lu Fang, the Han thief of the Huns. We had to fight in the mountains, so we not only had to train the array, but also had to pay attention to personal courage. The three counties including Wu'an are on the verge of Taihang, and are the place where narrow ones meet and brave ones win."

Of course, not everyone agrees with the method of training the fifth reunion. For example, Geng Yan from Daibei, after he barely joined the county army, he just came to the camp and based on his experience, he sneered at the reign of the fifth reunion: militiamen.

"Emperor Wu of Han also recruited tens of thousands of refugees and evil young men from counties and countries to fight against the Huns and the Western Regions, but he was defeated repeatedly and was able to fight with the wind. When encountering fierce battles, he was in a mess and defeated."

"On the contrary, only good heroes from other families can rely on the formation."

This is the routine of recruiting troops in Shanggu. Three thousand Youzhou cavalry were collected from the homes of the frontiers who could bring their own horses and armor.

The young man from white horse looked at the militia wrapped in yellow turbans and clumsy training, shook his head and said, "If Dayin wants me to train troops and compete with Ma Wenyuan, then I don't want refugees. I want a good family who has served and a clerk to be a clerk."

"I only need to train five hundred people, and I can be a refugee of three thousand!"
