Chapter 242 Do you lift it?

Zhang Zhan's "loyalty and perseverance" in Changling only lasted for half a night.

In the early morning of May 26, Zhang Zhan, who was busy guarding the city for a day, finally leaned against the pillar for a while. When he woke up, he found something was wrong, he found that he was tied up!

The county's chiefs knelt in the hall and told him with shame: "Mr., there are countless people in the city who responded to the fifth lord. There are hundreds of people in the city. There are frequent gentlemen from all four city gates, and they want to cooperate with each other inside and outside. Most of the county soldiers were taken away by the Grand Seokong and went to the east. We thought that we could not stop today's change. Anyway, the people who were doing things outside were all local people, and they would not harm the people. After discussion, the people of Changling did not attack the people of Changling, so they simply opened the door."

They bowed to Zhang Zhan: "It's not that he wants to do something wrong, but that Zhang Gong is tough and wise, for fear of hurting himself!"

In order to prevent Zhang Zhan from being so angry that he bit his tongue, they kindly wanted to stuff his mouth with a clean cloth.

After a few moments, the fifth and eighth Jiao and others who entered Changling County Government without bloodshed saw this scene.

After all, Zhang Zhan is the leader of the fifth relationship, which means an unusual relationship. The eighth Jiao hurriedly loosened his ties, but Zhang Zhan only stared at the fifth tyrant in armor: "Three elders in the county, you..."

"Mr. Zhang." Because of the fifth reunion, the fifth tyrant of the government elected the third elders of the county, patted his armor and laughed: "I am not the third elders of the county, I am under the command of the General Anmin, and I am the general of Wuling!"

He felt that no one in the clan had a good reputation except for his grandson. No. 7 Biao and No. 8 Jiao were not famous enough, so he simply carried the banner himself - the fifth reunion, was his grandfather very famous? He also became addicted to the general.

Zhang Zhan became even more angry: "You, the grandparents and grandsons, have received great kindness from the emperor, so why did you rebel?"

The fifth domineering is the kind of person who feels a little ashamed but never shows weakness on his lips, so he shows off his evil young scoundrel spirit: "Boyu is a real achievement. He attacks the Huns, quells rebellion, and defeats the Red Eyebrows, one by one. Even if it is placed in the Han Dynasty, it is enough to be granted a marquis as two thousand stones. It is just a hand of Wang Mang to promote him. What kind of kindness do you have?"

Zhang Zhan wanted to scold this shameless person, but someone shouted angrily: "Zhang Zixiao, why are you still obsessed with it today?"

But it was the eighth Jiao. He looked righteous at this moment: "Wang Mang was so cruel to the people for more than ten years. Did Da Yin turn a blind eye?"

"That year, the Jing River was changed to the road, and there were tens of thousands of victims. However, Wang Mang thought it was a sign that the land was filling the water and the new house destroyed the Huns, but he did not think it was bad, but he thought it was auspicious. Mr. Zhang asked for help several times, but the court ignored it, which caused the disaster relief to be delayed and thousands of households were displaced."

"After this, the Xiongnu were levied, the property was collected, the corvee service was issued, and the nine temples were built, which caused countless families to be destroyed and destroyed, and became a brave man of pigs. Zhang Gong repeatedly advised him, but Wang Mang never listened to him."

"These all these harmed the people, but Wang Mang never regretted his guilt. How could it be different to assassinating someone and killing him and saying, "It's not me, it's a soldier"?"

"And Mr. Zhang and General Anmin, who was previously a minister of the new secretary, were both weapons in the hands of Wang Mang!"

"Now the general can't bear to help the evil again and fight back, but Mr. Zhang blamed him and asked him why he didn't continue to be a weapon to abuse the people. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Zhang Zhan was ashamed of his words and could no longer stand on the moral high ground of "loyal ministers".

The eighth, the fifth reunion reminds: Zhang Zhan must live! It is best to cooperate, because he is the master of the fifth reunion and his identity is extraordinary. If Zhang Zhan commits suicide and bury Wang Mang for burial, the reputation of the fifth reunion in the Sixth Reunion will be greatly reduced.

After returning to the county, Jiao also obtained his enlistment. He knew that people like Zhang Zhan could not lobby for interests, but should be said to be moral and righteous. Zhang Zhan was thinking about it and promoted the education of rituals and music, and then said: "I know that Mr. Zhang is dedicated to serving the people. Looking at the policies of neighboring counties, there is nothing like Mr. Zhang who is as dedicated as Mr. Zhang. But the county affairs are getting worse and worse, and thieves are frequent, so that people will be able to eat people. Why is that?"

"Because Wang Mang did not listen to loyal words, he was only confused about unreasonable reforms and acted nonsense. Those who ruled the country were just right. The emperor was not right, so who could be right?"

"Mr. Zhang's efforts are like holding firewood to put out a fire. The general also saw through this and raised the banner of righteousness. Since he could not be self-righteous, he could only go up and down!"

His name is Jizheng, and his words are full of righteousness. The fifth domineering listened on the side, surprised by the youngest son of the Lao Ba family. It would be different if he cut off his finger!

Zhang Zhan was loose, but he still said: "Ji Zheng used allusions, don't just quote the first half of the sentence. In the past, Ji Kangzi asked Confucius about politics and said such words."

"If you kill without any principles, then there will be a principles. What is it? Confucius replied, "Why do you need to kill if you are in power?" Bo Yu wanted to be the best, but he was afraid that killing would be inevitable, but he did not know that ten years of harsh policies were not as good as one day's chaos."

"The accident has been made up by Wang Mang, and the general's wish is to calm the people."

The eighth, the level of poetry and calligraphy is much better than that of the fifth ethics. He smiled and said, "Isn't it between killing or not killing? The virtues of a gentleman and the virtues of villains. With the soldiers of Boyu, the virtues of Zhang Gong, the virtues of the grass will surely silence! Zhang Gong is quite famous. If he can issue an order, how much less can the Liewei County kill?"

Zhang Zhan was convinced and only insisted on the last bottom line: "I was a Han minister more than ten years ago and could not be loyal to the Han. Now, as a new minister, I cannot be loyal to the new. If I follow the rebellion again, wouldn't I become a villain?"

He closed his eyes: "Zhang Zhan, I can be ashamed of the people of this county. From now on, I will be just a prisoner and dare not speak again. The seal is on me, please take it yourself."

Even though Wang Mang is really Jie and Zhou, after all, it was also the ones who were pushed up by them. Then he should be Boyi and Shuqi.

This is acquiescent and probably won’t commit suicide. That’s good, this person is enough to live. The Eighth Jiao immediately took his seal and held it to the Fifth Hero: “Things are urgent, please ask General Wuling to issue an order!”

You said I am an old landlord in my seventies, but I just want to be a marquis of ten thousand households before I die, so why did I suddenly become the lord of a county?

Although the Fifth Domineer is an official fan, he mainly hopes that his grandson will be able to grow up steadily. He also knows that he is okay in the ranks and will definitely not be able to do the 2,000 stones. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, Ji Zheng, in my opinion, your words today are better than the 99% 2,000 stones in the world."

The eighth Jiao was much more decisive than in the past. When he knew that this was not a refusal, he just said: "Then I will use this to issue a document to announce the ten counties of this county to respond to the General Anmin. As for the position of county magistrate, someone should be sent to reply to the General and make an appointment."

After the statement, he immediately drafted the document. Before he finished writing it, Wang Long also rushed to Changling with the Fifth Reunion manifesto, and could copy multiple copies and distribute them to each county together.

Wang Long also told everyone good news: " Yesterday, after General Geng crossed the Wei River, his troops were approaching Yangling. Yan Ben, a great surname of Yangling, had some friendship with Boyu, so he raised the flag and responded, and was appointed as the priest of Yangling. General Geng has continued to face west and attack Anling County."

The reason why the Battle of Yangling was so smooth was due to the response of the powerful. Therefore, the attitude of the governors of each county was actually not important. The real decision was the local powerhouses. Whether the powerful people in this county could mobilize the entire lieutenant depends on whether they were promoted or not.

This is also the reason why the fifth reunion sent Wang Long to the north. He said: "The old general and Ji Zheng have already decided to be the prefectures and prefectures, and the powerful, let me persuade him!"

...

On May 26th, at the storm of the sun, Changping Pavilion, which was near the Wei River in the north of Changling County, was the fifth reunion here, and he recited half of the poem after witnessing the gathering of the heroes.

The middle platform pavilion of Changping Pavilion is still the same, the fighting dogs still chew the beef with golden collars, and the Wang family's large manor and the tenant farmer's small house are still clearly distinguished. The difference is that the rich men of Liewei County who gather here have lost their original leisure and leisure activities on their faces, but are panicked.

Since the fifth reign of the army the day before yesterday, the news that came to Weibei was all chaotic.

"I heard that it was the Grand Sikong Wang Yi who was defeated in Nanyang. The Han soldiers rushed in and rushed into Hangu Pass!"

Xiao Yan was quite excited. He was a descendant of Xiao He and was still a marquis of Xiaoxiang in the new dynasty. He was once selected as a man with the fifth reunion. Later, he served as the "Seven Public Officer" and was ordered to go out for military conscription, but sneaked back home.

To this day, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the oath of his ancestors to live with the Han Dynasty, and suddenly became an active faction in the restoration of Han Dynasty, clamoring to hold up the flame flag. Today, he was wearing a crimson dress and claimed to be the Han Dynasty.

"The news about Xiaoxianghou is wrong."

Fan Kuai's descendants, Fan Zhuze, did not do well in the New Dynasty, said: "How did I hear that the Fifth Lun, who was originally ordered to go south, raised troops in Hongmen?"

Xiao Yan and Di Wu Lun had a small festival back then. He frowned when he heard this, but he still insisted: "That is Di Wu Lun who suddenly woke up and raised an army to respond to Emperor Gengshi, and drove the Han Dynasty!"

The descendants of more than ten Han marquis from Liewei County nodded, happily reinstated by the Han family. Can these group of achievements be restored to the marquis' fiefdom again? On the other hand, they looked down on the fifth reunion. As the remnants of Tian Heng and Wang Mang's loyal dog, they should not repeat the matter temporarily. It is really disgusting.

A noble man is only qualified to protect his elders and young men. Are you the fifth relationship worthy of restoration of the Han Dynasty?

Wang Mang has become more and more harsh in recent years to the powerful Guanzhong, requiring each slave to pay 3,000 yuan in taxes. In order to pay the bandits in Guandong, the recruitment of soldiers actually came to them!

In the past, they could collude with the government and pass on the burden of taxes and corvee to the common people, but as many households and people fled to refugees, the government did not collect enough people, and the powerful were forced to bleed.

That's not bad. The resentment and dissatisfaction with the new room are increasing day by day. Everyone gathered together today to discuss whether to raise troops to respond.

But it depends on the attitude of Wang Yuan, the leader of the powerful and powerful, the attitude of the King of Qiongcheng.

At this moment, Wang Yuan was hesitating in the inner courtyard watching the manifesto sent by Wang Long.

"Lie Weihaoyou was already dissatisfied with Wang Mang, so he just waited for an opportunity. If Bo Yu was named after the restoration of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Hao would respond immediately. However, the proclamation of Wang Mang for usurping the Han Dynasty and restoring Emperor Gaozu, how could it be convincing to make people believe in the proclamation of Emperor Wen's policy? Wenshan, let me tell me what the fifth Bo Yu intended?"

"What is it? It's right to fight recklessness!" Wang Long was not very sensitive to politics, and because of the words and phrases of Yang Xiong's suicide note in the manifesto, he also felt excited. The purpose of participating in this matter was to vent his anger for the Master and not consider the long-term.

Only after my uncle pointed out that he realized the problem. He did not participate in the core meeting of the fifth reunion, which was inexplicable.

But the arrow had to be fired on the string. Even though Wang Long was not good at lobbying, he was also trying to persuade his uncle: "The current situation is just like Jia Sheng said, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led hundreds of soldiers to attack Qin, cut wood into soldiers, raised the pole into flags, and strengthened Zhang Chu, and the troops were already playing in the water. Chen and Wu had not promised to restore the six kingdoms, but the world gathered and responded, winning the food and the scenery followed, and Shandong Haojun then rose up and destroyed the Qin clan."

"After all, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed, Wang Mang will be destroyed. After the matter is completed, the general will gather all the lords in Chang'an to discuss the major plan together! If my uncle can lead Wei Hao to join the right hand side, how can he be the three dukes and nine ministers in the future?"

But the question is, who will be the three masters and nine ministers of the family? This is something that Wang Long can't understand.

This made Wang Yuan hesitate: "Take a step back and say, Boyu, can you win?"

"If Weibei responds, it will be a victory to encircle Chang'an with the Wulings!"

Wang Long knew that Wang Yuan still wanted to see the success or failure, so he urged: "Uncle, other families can hesitate to wait and see, but my family can't!"

“Why?”

Wang Long said: "When I went to Guandong, when others heard that my surname was Wang and the family of Lehou was born, they thought my family was a royal relative."

Wang Yuan was shocked: "Nonsense, my family has nothing to do with the Wang family in Yuancheng!"

"How can outsiders distinguish between Empress Xiaoxuan and Empress Xiaoyuan?"

Wang Long smiled and said, "Wang Mang's surname is Wang, and my family also has Wang."

"Wang Mang was a relative of the Han Dynasty, and my family was also a relative of the Han Dynasty."

"The Han Dynasty was destroyed, and my uncle's marquis was retained. My mother, Empress Dowager Wen, was given the Changping Pavilion by her mother. Once the new house was destroyed, what prospects would be waiting for my family? The general broke up with Wang Mang, but he was unwilling to overturn with Xinmang. Will my family still stay on the boat and not jump until it sinks?"

"If the general cannot win, the Five Powers will follow up and find out that my uncle is quite close to the Fifth Clan, and he has invited the Fifth Reunion and presented the Fifth Fighting Dog, and I, the same person as my fellow disciple, will also turn into a Qiuxu! Don't punish those who are sad today!"

Indeed, they had to rebel from the King of Qiongcheng!

Wang Yuan pondered and read the manifesto again. No matter how bad the fifth relationship is, he is also a member of his hometown and county. His military discipline is also good. He is indeed more trustworthy than the green forest and the red eyebrows. Since that is the case, then take one step and see another! No matter what the future is, if the clan wants to survive or even prosper, Chang'an's Xinmang must be destroyed!

“Yes.”

He suddenly stood up: "I am willing to convince Changling and Yangling more than 20 families of Haoyou, tens of thousands of people, to respond to the fifth general! If you don't raise it at this time, when will you wait?"

...

Over the past ten years, every time Wang Mang's life was scattered, the officials used their power to collect taxes, and the torch in Weibei has accumulated little by little. In recent years, the military tyrants, which have been in trouble at home and abroad, have been poured on oil.

The flames ignited from Hongmen, Weinan, and after shooting through the Wei River, the fire was extremely rapid. Yangling and Changling, two large counties that accounted for half of the population of Liewei County, took action one after another.

Geng Yan, the fifth torch, and the seventh Biao, also arrived at Anling City, the Han Dynasty on May 27th, with thousands of soldiers, and besieged a corner of the city. While renovating the army, he shot into a proclamation to surrender.

Anling already belongs to the "Jingwei County". The reputation of the fifth reunification is not so good here. The city is quite chaotic. The officials and soldiers are panicked and the people are looking at each other in a daze.

A young scholar in his twenties also had to climb up to the city wall, look at the flashing fires outside, and listen to the noisy panic in the city, which seemed to mean that the troubled times that their family had been worried about for a long time came.

Ban Biao frowned tightly and couldn't help but sigh: "How unfortunate we are, we have been overturned by the world and suffered from the disaster of filling up!"
