Chapter 250

After settling down the fort between Fenghao, Fang Wang talked to Gonglin about the fifth relationship he knew.

"Actually, I met the fifth reunion a few years ago."

It was the sixth year of Tianfeng. When Wang Mang sent Zhu Tufeng to the north to fight against the Huns, Fang Wang was curious and went to the nearby camp to peek at the camp, and met the fifth reunion who had not yet returned to the camp after getting a small saddle from Maoling.

"I saw that this man Di Wulun had a yin devil pattern on his face. At that time, I knew that this man was definitely unwilling to be surrendered."

"When I recently looked at his manifesto, my ambitions were even more obvious!"

Fang Wang shook his head: "What a pity, what a pity, the fifth reunion is the same as Xiang Yu, he has only ambition but no strategy."

Gong Lin was puzzled: "The fifth reunion is good at forbearance, and also invites fame and hope to support one's reputation. What are the similarities with Xiang Yu?"

Fang Wang had his own opinion: "Wang Mang lost the hearts of the people, and everyone in the world said that Liu should be ordered to inherit the will of heaven and follow the hearts of the people. It is not enough to destroy Mang, so he should assist the Han Dynasty and cause trouble."

"And Liu Ruziying, who was granted the title of Duke An Ding, was the successor of Emperor Ping of Han. Because Wang Mang usurped the power, he did not become the Han lord. If anyone could visit Gaomiao and support him as the emperor, his status would be more righteous than Emperor Gengshi of the Southern Green Forest! If the fifth reunion was willing to support Liu Ruzi, many prefectures and counties that were afraid of the green forest could be declared!"

Fang Wang sneered: "But the fifth reunion would rather strive for his own wisdom than learn from the past, and would be proud of his achievements and want to establish a new banner. However, he had no orders. He was neither new nor Han, so how could he trust the public?"

Therefore, Fang Wang gave up his resignation to the fifth reunion and believed that this person seemed to be strong, but in fact he was all fat.

"When the Fifth Reun was in Jizhou, his territory was not as good as Handan in the north, not as much as Henei in the south, blocked Taihang in the west, and looked east to the Yellow River in the east, only half of the land. If Wang Mang refused when he summoned him to the court, he would directly fight against Mang and manage the Hebei territory, he would be the lord of a state in the future!"

"But the fifth reunion was reluctant to let his grandfather's clan's life go, so he left the land of Wei and came to the west. Although he won the trust of Wang Mang and commanded tens of thousands of people, he was just a newly recruited soldier. If the new army was not really unpopular, the Northern Army was disbanded and Wang Mang fled, how could the fifth reunion easily enter Chang'an? He became famous?"

"Now Wang Mang fled south, probably to go to Hanzhong in the south; the powerful Guanzhong seemed to respond to the fifth relationship, but in fact they had ulterior motives. Once Wang Mang left, those people had different demands, and sooner or later they would be disloyal; to the east was the Shiwei Tian Kuang, who had a feud with the fifth relationship."

"Chang'an seems to be a victory, but in fact it is a trap. The fifth reunion has been trapped here, and is isolated from Wei for thousands of miles. In the chaotic times, it is most useless to have no money or farming, and to occupy the capital city where soldiers guard it. If he indulges in the Chang'an palace, he will fall into the surrounding forces. Once the surrounding food is not transported, the fifth reunion can still support hundreds of thousands of people? If he leaves... that is, he is on the old path of Xiang Yu!"

Fang Wang believed that every step of the fifth relationship was wrong, and he was willing to take great care of his relatives' lives when doing big things, without strategic vision and lack of assistance. Now he is in danger, so it is better to bring Liu Ruzi out of the city.

Gong Lin was stunned: "Since that's the case, Liu Ying and his seal and ribbon are in our hands, who should we hand over to?"

He is just a little powerful man. At most, he can pull up thousands of people in Weinan and Weibei, so he can't stand on his own.

Gong Lin suggested: "Wang Yuan, the marquis of Qiongcheng, Changling, is now the leader of the wealthy people in Weibei and a relative of the Han family. What should he give it to him?"

"No." Fang Wang said: "Those who are not worth discussing, and they can't even compete with the fifth relationship. It's better to give me dozens of people and I escort Liu Ying to the west and go to Longyou!"

"The national master Liu Xin fled westward. This man was a hero of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty. Now he suddenly turned against him. He probably regretted it. He felt sorry for his ancestors and wanted to re-establish the Han emperor."

"Wei Xiang met me. He was very talented. When he went west to Longxi to recruit soldiers, he had also denied me to be the leader. His uncle Wei Cui was a hero from Longyou. When he learned about the Chang'an Incident, the Wei family would rebel, and perhaps he had already rebelled! But Longyou was still short of a flag!"

Fang Wang looked at Liu Ying, who was squatting in the yard and curiously looking at the chickens and ducks, and smiled and said, "If you can get this person and set it as a banner, there will be a ten counties west of Longguan, and the edict can be decided!"

...

It was also late at night on May 30th, and Wang Mang ran farther than Fang Wang and others.

Wang Mang should be grateful for the chaos before departure, and successfully made him get rid of his slower baggage and tail, and only brought the hundreds of people who were most trusted to ride in light vehicles. Otherwise, even if the cavalry camp was released, they would have been caught up long ago.

They did not dare to walk the main road in Weibei, but Weinan bypassed the path of Shanglinyuan and ran for a day and night. Wang Mang and his party arrived at the Bèi Yang Palace, nearly two hundred miles southwest of Chang'an.

This is the old palace in the Qin and Han dynasties. The most famous incident was that Qin Shihuang moved his mother Zhao Ji to imprison him here, and escaped the fire from Xiang Yu, which was still a palace in the Han Dynasty.

The journey of escape is difficult, not only is it exhausting, but it also has to endure hunger.

What's even more troublesome is that it started to rain in the sky at this time, and the old emperor and the princes were poured into a chicken.

Although they were afraid of the pursuers in the rear, everyone was so tired that they had no way to go in the rain. When they heard that there was a "palace" in front of them, Wang Mang was immediately overjoyed and asked someone to inform him to arrange food and accommodation.

But when Wang Mang arrived, he found that there was only one ruin left in Ruyang Palace.

Most of the palaces have been demolished, and the beams and pillars have been transported away, leaving only rubble on the ground and weeds poking out of the cracks in the rocks. The black stone sculptures from the Qin Dynasty have also been smashed to pieces.

"Why is it abandoned here?" Wang Mang asked his confidant in a daze, and Zhang Han told him: "During the founding period, His Majesty hated Qin's politics, so he ordered the Grand Tutor of Tang to destroy the old things of Qin, and put the twelve Jin people on the ground and trampled them, and abandoned the Yongdi Palace and the Lust Temple of the Qin Dynasty."

"When His Majesty builds nine temples, in order to save beams and pillars, this one was removed cleanly."

It turned out that it was Wang Mang who caused the four old things to destroy the Qin Dynasty. How could he have thought that the Qin Palace that Wang Mang despised was the first place to stay on his way to escape!

But there was no way, there were wild forests nearby, and the inner walls were not safe. Everyone could only gather in the remains of the ruins, or sleep directly in the carriage, and at least they could survive the night

Wang Mang's hair dyed black for the wedding was washed away by the rain, and his true colors were revealed, and he was so white that he was miserable. Confucius was as anxious as a dog. Wang Mang, who had always regarded Confucius as his target, finally realized that he had no intention of singing with strings now.

Because the carriages were all separated, these hundreds of them could only chew the few dry food in the rain. After barely eating some, they all slept on each other, temporarily forgetting the level, the noble and low, the noble and the noble. Wang Mang's concubine son and daughter had never suffered such pain. For a moment, they cried and were very sad, and they only missed the wide eaves and vast buildings in the palace and relatives.

However, Wang Xing, the Gong Xiu Gong, who was almost killed by Wang Mang because of Chen Chong's affairs, often glanced at the jade seal of the imperial carriage he wore with him!

But Ju Wuba always stayed by Wang Mang's side, carrying the car cover to shelter the old emperor from the wind and rain, leaving no one with the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Emperor Wu of Han had Shangguan Jie, but I had a giant mother domineering."

Wang Mang was very pleased and looked up at the giant holding the umbrella and said, "Giant General, I will give you the title of Supreme Duke... I will call you... the new Duke!"

Ju Wuba smiled. This was already the third duke who had been Xu out along the way. Cui Fa and Zhang Han were all with him. He didn't care much. Donglai was all real. He just received a favor from the emperor.

But there are only a few who can be as loyal as Ju Wuba. The days of escape were so miserable that many people left for the first day, and at least more than a hundred people regretted it along the way, and they were lucky enough to use Wang Mang's head. Fortunately, they were beheaded by Ju Wuba and others.

I was cold and hungry for the middle of the night, and the rain was a little lighter. Cui Fa, who went to the nearby county to inquire about the news, also came back, looked panicked, and bowed in front of Wang Mang:

"Your Majesty, Shinkwang (martial arts) may not be able to go!"

"Why?" Wang Mang asked Cui Fa anxiously.

"The powerful rebelled in Yuyu County, and the traffic to the west was cut off."

"And I found out again that Chen Cang's hero Lu Yu, who was previously denied by His Majesty as the Fuwei County Order, also responded to the fifth reunion and was besieging Xinguang County!"

In just a few days, the whole Guanzhong was completely rebelled? No wonder the king-supporting army in Fuwei County has not arrived for a long time, but has been enjoying tax-free treatment. It is worth noting to go in Xinguang County, which is the most loyal to Wang Mang. So what should we do now?

"The Baoxi Road can't be gone."

Unlike Tang Zun and Zhang Han who only know how to talk nonsense, Cui Fa still has some ability and said: "There are more than one road to Hanzhong. To the south here, there is a small road crossing the mountains, called Tangluo Road, which is the most steep, but also the fastest."

I didn't dare to go to Ziwu Road in the east, and I couldn't go to Baoxi Road in the west, so I could only go this way. Wang Mang nodded, but before they could hurry up, the scouts arranged in the rear shouted.

"Rebels, the rebels are chasing!"

This warning, which was not true or false, was so shocked that the princes and emperors all over the ground immediately turned over and ran towards the car crying and shouting to her parents.

In the crowded state, Wang Mang was unable to get on the car. Fortunately, Ju Wuba decisively threw away the umbrella cover, carried Wang Mang on his back and rushed forward. Cui Fa hugged Wang Mang's bronze power fight that he was reluctant to throw. However, the old lady Tang Zun landed behind and was stepped on by someone. He seemed to be unable to get up.

Gong Xiu Wang Xing looked left and right, but in desperation, he could only stomp his feet and follow Wang Mang toward the mountains and forests!

...

Wang Mang lay on Ju Wuba's back and was chased by the Yueqi camp sent by Di Wulun and ran around the forest. An old man who had a banquet with him also arrived at Jianzhang Palace in the night with the fine rain.

Jianzhang Palace is just west of Shoucheng Room, and has reached outside the main wall of Chang'an. It was established during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. As a work of the heyday of the Han Dynasty, Jianzhang Palace is more grand than Shoucheng Room that was blocked in Chang'an. Just talking about the majestic "Double Phoenix Palace" is twenty feet tall! It can be said to be the highest artificial building of this era.

There is also a pair of copper phoenixes standing in the palace in the wind, which is the best place to overlook the Chang'an Palace.

"No need to help me, I can leave by myself."

Having said that, the fifth domineering is coming up after all, and he has to untied his heavy armor first before he can get here. He can't reach the two steps when he was young, but at least he doesn't have to take a step or rest.

After reaching the top, Di Wu Lun was waiting for him here. After meeting, he didn't ask about the situation of Liewei. He only pulled Di Wu to the side of Shuang Fengque and smiled at Di Wu: "Let's take a look at the scenery here."

This is indeed a beautiful scene that the fifth domineer has never seen in his life for more than 70 years. In the past, he had also passed by Jianzhang Palace, but he was just standing underneath, looking up at the twin phoenixes flying on the palace with their wings spreading. He never thought that one day he would be able to stand up!

"Dafather, you once wanted to establish a reading for the Fifth Family. So today's reading is high enough!?"

"It's so high enough, much taller than I thought." The Fifth Ba said the truth. I didn't dare to think about the past seventy years. He also began to understand what the Fifth Lun said meant by the Fifth Lun, the "highest reading in the world" and the old man was so excited that he trembled. And he could smell it. The Fifth Lun drank some wine tonight and was very excited.

"Dafather, a few days ago, you despised the small courtyard of the North Que Jiadi, and the sky was also small."

Wu Lun pointed to the Shoucheng Room, which was only illuminated by torches of the custods under the night sky, and asked the Fifth Domineer with a smile: "Is this yard big enough?"

"It's big enough, it's big enough." Of course, it's big, Jianzhang, Shoucheng and other cities are as vast as cities, with thousands of households and thousands of rooms, one room a day, and it's not enough to stay in it for several years! The fifth barbarian responded, but frowned, thinking that the fifth reunion was floating, and wanted to remind his grandson a few words, but the fifth reunion had already changed his voice and said solemnly:

"But standing too high will easily fall, especially when your feet are not stable. It is not my own strength to stand here, but to take advantage of the momentum. Once the momentum is eliminated, it is not easy to stand firm by yourself."

"What's more, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at Chang'an and countless hands, wanting to pull me down!"

Wu Lun was still very sober and raised his head and said, "Although the palace is big enough, Wang Mang stayed here for too long, so he became a bird in a cage, used to seeing the leopard in his arms and not knowing the whole picture of the world."

He sighed: "If you want to not forget how big the sky is and how wide the earth is, you still have to stand in the soil with your feet!"
