Chapter 222
"Fu Ziwei is the first hero I met in Yingchuan last year. Although he is just a pavilion chief, he is quite famous locally and cannot be treated too slowly."
When Wu Lun left Wei and rushed to Guanzhong, Liu Xiu had already led his army north to Xiangcheng County (Yingchuan) (Xiangcheng, Pingdingshan City, Henan).
His strict military discipline, unlike other green forest armed forces, did play a role. He heard that the Han army arrived, and there were endless supporters.
The one who came to vote today was a local pavilion chief named Fu Jun.
"Fu Ziwei and Chen Zizhao have the same name." Zhu You smiled and looked at the tall halberd officer who was following Liu Xiu.
Chen Jun is from Xi'e County, Nanyang. When Liu Xiu and Zhu You failed to flee south in Wancheng, Chen Jun blocked Liu Xiu in an alley and almost arrested him. Fortunately, Liu Xiu fled and let Chen Jun, who had not received the salary of the court for a long time, let him go.
After Gengshi became emperor, the counties in Nanyang surrendered to the Han soldiers in succession, and Chen Jun also surrendered. Liu Xiu specially brought him into the army and shared the food and clothing with him. He loved him very much. This big man has now become Liu Xiu's loyal guard.
"It's more than the same name." Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Coincidentally, when I was evading officials to Yingchuan last year, I passed by the pavilion under Fu Jun's jurisdiction and almost caught by him as a thief."
They also did not fight and met each other. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two made friends. This time, Liu Xiu led his army to this point. When Fu Jun heard that it was Uncle Liu Wen, he did not hesitate and surrendered with more than a dozen pavilions, allowing Liu Xiu to obtain hundreds of local children as the new force.
The gifts Fu Jun brought to Liu Xiu were more than that.
"Uncle Wen... General Liu, see who I have captured?"
Chief Fu Jun pushed a new dynasty official who was tied up in a large variety of colors and stepped forward, but saw that this person was strong and tied up very tightly by ropes. If an ordinary new official was captured by the Han soldiers, he would have to bow his head and beg for mercy, but this person was neither humble nor arrogant.
Fu Junyang proudly reported the merits: "This is the commander of the western supervisor of the left team, named Feng Yi, and the courtesy name is Gongsun. This supervisor Feng came from Fucheng County and rushed for a day. He went to the pavilion house near me to organize the pavilion soldiers to guard Fucheng County, but they happened to be captured by me. This man was brave and strong, and injured several pavilions."
"So you are Feng Yi!" Liu Xiu's captains were furious.
Feng Yi was ordered by the Grand Tutor of the Left Team to supervise five county west and was very good at fighting. During this period, Liu Xiu's army suffered a lot. Because Feng Yi was guarding his father-in-law county, Liu Xiu's attack was fruitless, so he had to turn to Xiangcheng.
The accidental capture today was captured, and everyone was indignant and wanted to kill him quickly.
But Liu Xiu discovered that Feng Yi was standing like a big tree, looking at himself only, even if life and death were at stake, his speaking speed was still very slow.
"I heard about the name of Liu Bosheng's brothers for a long time, but you are a sneak attack. What kind of heroes are you?"
"Even if you don't fight a siege, you and I will fight in the countryside. Although my troops are small, you will definitely be the ones who are captured!"
Now, everyone was clamoring to kill Feng Yi, but Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi left and right, and fell in love with him, but laughed and waved his hand.
"Let loosen the ties, just like Feng Gongsun's words, let him go!"
...
In early April of the fourth year of Dihuang, when Liu Xiu was conquering the left team, Di Lun also arrived at another brigade with eight hundred heroes: the back team.
The back team is Hanoi County, which is the most comfortable season for Hanoi. However, the fifth reunion is also the south kung fu. Looking at the pure lush green bamboo, there is no time to see the Chaoge Yin Ruins, and look at the ancient and modern times.
Even when passing by Ji County, I didn’t have time to see the legendary water conservancy expert, Du Shi, who made water drainage.
His eight hundred people were almost "mutes and horses" who drove donkeys, mules, and horses, and used carts to travel, and were very fast.
After all, Wang Mang asked the Fifth Reun to arrive in the capital on the first day of the fifth month. If it was too late, A Mang was a man of temperament. In anger, he would not give up his military power. Wouldn't the plan of Fifth Reun be ruined?
Hanoi is equivalent to the part of Henan Province north of the Yellow River in later generations, and it should be considered "Hebei". However, since the Han Dynasty, Hanoi has always been under the administrative division of "Sili University", tied to Hedong and Henan, and is directly under the central government because the geography here is too important.
Feng Yan, who was accompanying him, was able to comment on his strength again: "Henoi controls the danger of Hulao in the south, leans on the solidity of Taihang in the north, and the Yellow River surrounds the south, which is truly the mountains and rivers in the outside world, and it is a powerful crossing of Jin, guards, boats and chariots, and is known as land and sea."
Going south, Hanoi faces Luoyang across the river, and King Wu of Zhou crosses the river and destroys Yin.
Going west, there is a major road leading to Hedong, Shangdang. The reason why the Qin army was able to win the battle between Shangdang in Qin and Zhao was because it captured Hanoi, and the food route was closer than that of Zhao.
Going north, you will penetrate deeply into Wei territory, which is the gateway of Wei. In this terrain, if there is a powerful yin in Hanoi, the fifth reunion will feel that someone is sleeping soundly on the side of the bed and cannot sleep peacefully.
Fortunately, compared with Yin Fu Si Chong in Hanoi, the martial arts here are really weak.
"Because most of the county soldiers were recruited by Wang Yi, they followed the county emperor to Luoyang to meet."
Wu Lun knew it in his heart. He heard that Wang Yi's army had left the Sixth Guard and was about to leave Hangu Pass. In addition to the strong men who were forced to conquer Guanzhong, the other counties also gathered some people. In the end, it might be as Wang Mang expected and would create an army of 400,000 as Wang Mang hoped.
Now the one who stays in Hanoi is the local deputy, who is in charge of military affairs, but he is not a veteran general, but an old scholar named Fu Zhan. He has fame, but it is unknown how many methods can he have in war.
Let’s see the fifth reunion coming all the way, but when we met a rest, we did not forget our old career: drawing a map, Feng Yan also saw it, and he knew he had bad intentions at first glance!
"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure."
Once the troubled times begin, Hanoi, this rough and peaceful land will be the first piece of fat that the Wei forces eat! This marching of the fifth reunion will also be accompanied by a scout.
Because of the imperial edict, the journey was unobstructed. In early April, the group arrived at the capital of the rear team: Huai County.
Wu Lun did not enter the city, and he didn't even have time to visit the local manager, Fu Zhan, but someone came to him and claimed to be Dou Rong's friend and asked for a visit.
After all, Wu Lun and Dou Zhougong showed their friends, and they heard from their subordinates that the man was a local celebrity. They thought that they might have to attack Hanoi in the next few months, so they let him come for a while in the gap before departure.
The person who came was named Cai Mao, who was in his forties, and his courtesy name was Zili. He was from Huai County, Henei.
Wang Long, who was with the fifth reunion, heard of this person and told him: "Cai Zili was in Emperor Ai of Han. During the reign of Emperor Ping of Han, he was famous for Confucianism and was recruited as a doctor. He made a countermeasure and stated the disasters and was promoted to the court for his outstanding performance. He was promoted to the position of the Minister of the Secretariat and moved to the Secretariat. As soon as he was a captain of the Shangju, Cai Mao then reported illness and was dismissed. He refused to be an official in the new office. He returned to his hometown and hid in the city until today."
It seems that he is a loyal and kind-hearted man again. Di Wulun has an understanding of the person's quality. Cai Mao came here and actually brought many celebrities from Hanoi, and locals like Feng Yan, who advised Di Wulun not to enter the west.
After talking with Di Wulun, Cai Mao sighed and said, "I am in a neighboring county and have heard of the name of the fifth prince for a long time. I have protected the stability of Wei County and tried to stop the bandits. I have great kindness in Hebei. Why should I give up millions of people and ignore them and want to go to the fire?"
The fifth reunification still looked like a loyal minister in a new manner and said solemnly: "The king ordered to call him, and he will not wait for the emperor to go. How can the emperor not reach the emperor?"
Cai Mao was not willing to deny the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and did not dare to directly say that Wang Mang was usurping the rebellion. He only said: "I am friends with Duke Dou Zhou. Duke Zhou has always been unwilling to get involved in right and wrong, but he was granted a great task and led troops to attack the green forest in the south. What was the result? He fled in a panic and did not know where to stay. Although the fifth duke was always brave, wouldn't he be afraid of following Dou Rong's footsteps?"
Cai Mao and Hanoi celebrities both hoped that Di Wu Lun would not go west and urged him to go back to Wei County. Although his words were very tactful, he did not directly advise Di Wu Lun to rebel. But judging from this, they hoped that Di Wu Lun would be a neighbor and could ensure peace in Hanoi. After all, Wei was also the gateway to Hanoi, blocking the attack of Red Eyebrows, Copper Horses and other bandits here.
Fifth Reunion thanked his kindness and said goodbye to everyone, Feng Yan was quite happy: "The people of Hanoi are fond of newness and seek peace, so they can be used."
It is not bad, but there is another point that makes the fifth relationship more confirmation. With the sudden change in the situation, in the hearts of scholars, "opposing Wang Mang" will soon become the most politically correct thing in the world, far better than the monarch and minister. He must go this time.
When the next day he was about to set off, Cai Mao came again. This time, he brought an old friend to Di Wu Ren who had not seen for many years.
A group of guys with dozens of clothes and ragged clothes like beggars, the leader was the one with a round face and long beard. He met Di Wu Lun several times in Wancheng two years ago. He sent someone to recruit him, but Yan You snatched Ren Guang from his first place!
"Boqing, why are you here?"
"Fifth Duke! Ren Guang thought he would never see you again!"
Ren Guang bowed to the fifth reunion from afar. He suffered a lot along the way. He took his family away from Wancheng and fled north in January. If it was a peaceful season, he would rush to Yecheng for more than a month.
But this is a chaotic world. Behind are the green forests that are constantly conquering cities and land, and the Han soldiers are defeated in front of them. It is no longer clear whether it is a soldier or a bandit. Ren Guang still brought dozens of people assigned by guests and Cen Peng, but he still walked in extremely difficult times, just like escaping from the famine. He fought many times along the way, and Ren Guang had to kill people with his own sword.
So, the speed was like a turtle crawling, and even the guests began to sneak away. Finally, they avoided the vanguard of Dasikong Wang Yi's wolf-like tiger-like vanguard, and used the last bit of silk to cross the river to Hanoi. It was already difficult to move forward.
This person who was not familiar with the place, Ren Guang was desperate and could only ask Dou Rong's friend Cai Mao for help, asking him for some money to help him so that he could continue to go north.
Unexpectedly, the fifth reunion also arrived here, and Ren Guang hurriedly came to pay homage to him. Even the old official who was as smart and calm as him could not help but burst into tears. At this moment, he really regretted that Wei was far away and attached to the local clan, and did not accept the exclusion of the fifth reunion.
The seal of the master of the throne, which should have belonged to him, is now hanging on Feng Yan, who looks like a man. Feng Yan is looking at him squintly.
The fifth reunion must not be delayed for a moment. He asked the post to take out food to fill his stomach for Ren Guang and others, and brought him clothes to change it. After wiping away the dust on his face, Ren Guang then talked about his experiences along the way and the fact that Cen Peng resolutely entered the city to assist Yan You.
As he said that, he even took a peek at the fifth reunion. Is he really going to lead his troops to save Wancheng this time?
But the fifth reunion only sighed: "It is worthy of being Yan Gong and Cen Junran, who can keep the lonely city where people's hearts are trembling for more than three months without losing it."
Then he only touched the head of Cen Peng's son Cen Zun and said silently, without the promise of "I must save my teacher and Jun Ran."
Although the fifth reunion was determined to save him, he was unable to do so. Even if he really changed his plan and wanted to fight this battle for Wang Mang, he led a group of temporary recruits from Guanzhong to Wancheng, and was afraid it was already June and July. This meant that Yan You and Cen Peng had to stay for three months, which was too difficult.
This is not over yet. The fifth reunification still hopes that the Grand Sikong Wang Yi can win the Yingchuan Banner along the way. Otherwise, he would have to fight to Wancheng alone and lead the new soldiers and exhausted soldiers to Wancheng, which would only give the Green Forest Army a wave of equipment.
This kind of battle that requires hope for teammates to win is the most difficult to fight.
Wang Yi is the God of War, but his fifth relationship is not.
Ren Guang also discovered that compared to Dou Rong, who was beaten to escape in a panic, he seemed to be more concerned about Liu Xiu in his words, and he wanted to know his every move and smile.
When he learned that Liu Xiu had taken Kunyang and was conquering the city in Yingchuan, Di Wulun was slightly stunned. It seemed that the place name made him remember something, but in the end he just turned into a sudden smile.
From the time he stepped out of Wei with eight hundred soldiers, his goal had been determined and he had agreed with Ma Yuan and would not change it rashly.
The world is like a chessboard, but the fifth reunion is not a chess player. He is just a chess piece with his own consciousness. All he can decide is the way ahead, so this battle...
"You guys beat you."
"I, hit me!"
