"The Book of Zuo's Family says that meteorites are stars. There are those who are good at astrology in our army who observe the celestial phenomena at night and predict that within a few months, there may be stars near Kunyang..."

Wang Yi looked at the letter from the fifth reunion twice, glanced at Dou Rong with an honest face: "Duke Zhou, is this really the letter from the fifth reunion?"

“That’s right.”

"When will you receive it?"

Dou Rong reported: "On the first day of the fifth month, when we were still in Luoyang, the sender came from Hanoi. At first, the officials thought it was nonsense and didn't take it seriously until the stars fell tonight..."

Calculate the time, at least in April. On the way back to the court of the fifth reunion, this boy predicted the meteorite in Kunyang more than a month in advance. Although the meteorite tonight is not as earth-shaking as the one that fell in Dongjun when Qin Shihuang was in Dongjun, there was no trace on the ground, it was indeed quite eye-catching.

Like Wang Yi also likes to read "Zuo Zhuan", he often talks about ghosts and gods, and predicts the period of misfortunes and good fortune. It is not an ambiguous nonsense, but extremely specific things can be accurately predicted through divination. Although the time is wide, the location and events are correct. Could it be that there are really talented people like Bu Chuqiu around Du Lun?

Another puzzled thing is Liu Xiu, who told Dou Rong to be careful in the letter. No wonder Dou Rong repeatedly mentioned Liu Bosheng's brother during his journey south, but the counties captured by Liu Xiu were easily defeated.

Dou Rong reminded again: "Someone escaped to Dingling and Yanling a few days ago, so we must be careful."

"I know." Wang Yi didn't take it seriously. After all, they have the advantage now and the stars are falling. But as long as they don't hit themselves on the head, it is beneficial to the offense, but it can inspire morale. What else can I worry about?

However, at dawn the next day, something strange happened.

"It's a change of time."

Dou Rong didn't sleep well. As soon as he left the camp, he found the situation. The weather was gloomy and there was a large layer of thick morning fog in the distance. He actually gathered together and was pushed by the wind and slowly floated towards the new army. I don't know if it was the wind suddenly tightened or why, but it accelerated suddenly, like a mountain falling down, and fell down the camp!

For a moment, the new military camp was stunned and fell to his senses. Although the fog quickly dissipated after hitting the ground, the soldiers still talked for a while. The older people shook their heads and said that they had never seen this strange thing before.

Dou Rong thought secretly: "This is not said in the fifth letter, and it seems that he can't tell everything."

When the generals asked the diviner to calculate, it was indeed not a good omen, but Wang Yi asked someone to change the divination: "I got the star sign, why is it not auspicious? It quickly changed it to a good omen!"

Then someone combined this matter with the last night's Xingshen to promote it, so that the soldiers could fight hard. After the cemetery, the army was ordered to advance and began a general attack on Kunyang City.

However, the first battle had just begun. The Grand Sikong Wang Yi, who was calmly beating and commanding, welcomed his son, Wang Mu, who should have been in Chang'an, and the emperor's bookmaking carried by Wang Mu.

"Father!" Wang Mu took a detour from Chang'an a few days ago to Lantian and Hongnong, and came by a post cavalry traveling 200 miles a day. He didn't close his eyes for several days and nights. He knelt down in front of Wang Yi, but he had no strength to recite. He trembled and handed him the book: "There was a big deal in the capital."

"On May 24th, the fifth reunion rebelled at Hongmen. When he set out, the rebels had taken to the east of the Ba River, and the troops were aimed directly at Chang'an!"

"What!?"

This incident was even more shocked by the heavy fog. Wang Yi was stunned for a moment. Although he was not kind to the fifth person, his friendly forces suddenly rebelled and no one could calm down.

"I have seen a long time ago that the fifth replies are contrary, but unfortunately your Majesty likes him!"

Wang Yi shut up others and silently looked at Wang Mang's edict. He listened to his son's rebellious behavior of crying about the fifth rebellion, and he didn't even care about the command of the siege.

Seeing that the troops in front could get on the first step, the offensive orders of the subsequent troops were not issued for a long time, and the captains looked at each other, causing Dou Rong on the front line to come back and ask for his orders.

But it was fine if he didn't come. When he saw Dou Rong's thick eyebrows and big eyes, Wang Yi suddenly remembered the letter and the prophecy made by the fifth reunion. Could it be that he had planned it long ago? Want to disrupt his own military morale? Is Dou Rong his accomplice?

The fifth reunion is far away in Guanzhong. Da Sikong held a 300,000 army in his hand, and had nowhere to vent his anger. He only pointed at Dou Rong with a question mark and ordered:

"Catch Duke Dou Zhou!"

...

"Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou, it turns out that you have been secretly engaging in the fifth relationship with the fifth one. Let me tell you, in addition to letting you spread rumors in our army, talking about the sky, and hailing the enemy and fearing the crowd, what else can you do?"

Dou Rong was completely stunned and shouted: "Da Sikong, I know nothing, what happened..."

"After this matter, I still dare to deceive me. I have been treating you as a brother for twenty years!"

Wang Yi was extremely disappointed and did not allow Dou Rong to defend himself. He waved his hand and asked someone to take him down and lock him up.

After all, the general was a general. Although Wang Yi was not a famous general, he was not in a position to be in charge. Instead, he pretended that nothing happened and asked the soldiers to attack the city and asked them to command him. He thought about it.

"No wonder there was foggy like a mountain this morning. Could it be that the fifth child's rebellion?"

Now Wang Yi is facing an embarrassing situation, and he is pushing his way to the high ground. Suddenly, he is shocked that the Wen family is stolen and is in danger... Do you go back or not?

Dilemma, dilemma.

During the imperial edict, the emperor obviously hoped that Wang Yi would fly back to suppress the fifth reunion immediately. According to the rumored son, Wang Xun, the Grand Situ who attacked Luyang Pass in the west, had already withdrawn his troops. Luyang was in the west, and received the imperial edict one day earlier than Kunyang.

Dou Rong is no longer trustworthy, and no one can discuss countermeasures for a while, so he can only ask his son Wang Mu.

"Do you think, how long can you last?"

Wang Mu didn't know the army, so how could he say it clearly? He only said that the emperor had tens of thousands of people in the six Northern Army schools. Even if he couldn't defeat the fifth reunion, it would be fine to defend Chang'an for a month? Look at Yan You and Cen Peng from Wancheng, with only a few thousand people and a suspicious city, he was besieged by a hundred thousand rebellion for nearly half a year. Wouldn't he hold on?

No one would have thought that Chang'an had not been able to hold on for a long time.

Wang Yi only pondered his hands behind his back. If he had ambition, his 300,000 people would still be there and he would be quite comfortable to advance and retreat.

He was the descendant of the "Five Marquis", Wang Mang's cousin, and one of the first people to follow him. He broke his bones and connected his tendons, and suffered from the new house.

Wang Mang was probably afraid that he would not return, so he rarely called himself "Yu" in the imperial edict, but said: "The military advisor was broken outside, the fifth reunion was inside, and the left and right were trusted. He could not think of the county and the country again and again, and wanted to call me and discuss with him."

"I am old and I don't have the right son. I want to pass it on to my brother to the world!"

I don’t know how many times I read this sentence, but Wang Yi was happy and sad, and couldn’t help but cry: “The king was humiliated and the minister died, and my brother was in trouble. How could I not help? Your Majesty, why do you say this?”

He also worked hard for the establishment of the new house. At this moment, he asked himself, no matter how Wang Mang hides his loyalty to his cousin, he has no repentance at all.

"Return, you must go back!"

Wang Yi made a choice, but there were only 300,000 people, and he was still sieging the city. How to evacuate is a big deal, and many defeats occurred during the evacuation period.

He had an idea: "I will not publicize this matter, but let the rear army prepare to retreat, and the front army continue to attack the city. After seizing Kunyang Pass, they will slaughter the thieves and leave tens of thousands of people to guard them to prevent the pursuit. In this way, even if the Green Forest thieves break through Wancheng, they will be blocked by this place for some time. During my return to the army to wipe out the fifth relationship, we can still ensure that Luoyang will not be lost."

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Soon, the Ranger arranged on the periphery sent him a book that was intercepted in the east.

"Wancheng has been broken! Liu Bosheng and Emperor Gengshi are coming in a large army of 100,000 times!"

As the house was leaking, it rained all night, and Wang Yi immediately cursed: "Old man Yan You, you have been holding on for half a year, why don't you last a few more days?"

Then he even fucked. At this point, Wang Yi's heart was already in chaos and did not tell whether the news was true or not. He sighed with regret: "It's a success, a success is a success!"

It’s all because of the fifth relationship!

He stopped fighting in Kunyang City, and only let the attacking striker retreat quickly. The aura that had been bulging from Xingyue yesterday was suddenly completely relieved.

Because Wang Yi did not dare to tell the generals clearly, the three armies were suspicious. When he heard that the Grand Sikong was about to withdraw his troops, he was upset: "What happened?"

Regarding the sudden arrival of his son and the arrest of Dou Rong, the generals and captains were speculating behind their backs.

"Could it be that the emperor has passed away?"

"Maybe it was the Huns who invaded and threatened Guanzhong."

No one can think of the fifth deeds of loyalty and filial piety.

Wang Yi knew that this would be detrimental to the morale of the army, but he did not dare to make the matter public. Most of the families of the generals and lieutenants were in Chang'an, and people would inevitably be in chaos and even scattered, so they could only force the generals to suppress them.

Only tens of thousands of people were left to look at Kunyang, and the front team changed to the back team and began to retreat in a hurry. If they walked away a few days later, not to mention that Chang'an could not hold on, they might be entangled by the main force of the Green Forest Army going north and wanted to escape but could not.

Wang Yi planned to pull the troops back to Luoyang for food, and brought tens of thousands of elite troops into the pass, and fought with various troops to fight against the fifth reunion...

"I will cut off this head and be kicked."

...

"The new army has withdrawn!"

In fact, the guards in Kunyang City were already struggling to wait for assistance, and they were just about to surrender. Now looking at the withdrawn new army, they were immediately like a general amnesty. The scarred green forest, the Han soldiers were so happy that they burst into tears.

Half a day away east of Kunyang, thousands of troops arrived. Under the "Han" character Yan, who was fluttering in the wind, was Liu Xiu who rushed to Dingling and Yancheng to seek reinforcements!

Hearing the scouts came to report that the new army had begun to retreat and was reluctant to hit the stone with eggs. Thanks to Liu Xiu's hard work, the generals who were willing to send troops looked at each other, and Ma Wu was even more happy: "Is General Wen's plan effective?"

It turned out that the "Wancheng has been broken and 100,000 Han soldiers are coming" intercepted by Wang Yi's scout was just written randomly by Liu Xiu, just to disrupt the morale of the enemy, but he did not expect the effect to be so good.

"Is it because I discovered our army and deliberately lured it?"

Liu Xiu was also very surprised and only took the courage to approach and observe with Feng Yi, Wang Ba and other thirteen generals.

The scouts and soldiers of the new army were no longer in a fight. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly retreated. When they arrived at a high hill, Liu Xiu climbed up and saw a scene that would be unforgettable for his life.

It is difficult to turn around. When the 300,000 army came, it stretched hundreds of miles, and when it retreated, it was the same. The army was divided into two groups, and left and right. When the rear army came, it was at least the day after tomorrow. The camp was not enough to collect it, and many siege equipment were not needed. In the face of the fluctuation of people's hearts, it was even more chasing and the order was messy, and even the strong men took the opportunity to escape.

This embarrassed look, even if you pretend, has already become real.

The generals and the captains were happy and felt that it was a blessing that they won without a fight in this battle. They just had to wait for the new army to leave. However, after observing for a while, Liu Xiu made an amazing decision.

"beat!"

Liu Xiu was retreating the new army one after another: "The enemy wants to return to the house at night, and the three armies are afraid of being shocked. If the elite troops wing the sides and attack them quickly, the enemy will be defeated."

"You guys."

True victory is never achieved through waiting. The celestial phenomena are in vain, but by people, they must strive for it!

He looked at everyone, and his eyes were filled with a strange light: "This is the best opportunity to destroy the army of the new room in one fell swoop!"

Liu Xiu made a prediction: "Please believe me, this battle will lay the foundation for the world!"

...

ps: It's a little late to go out.
