Chapter 259 Xiliang Army

On the fourth night of the June 19th, Feng Yangang, who had just arranged for his family to go to Weibei from Duling, returned to Chang'an and was summoned to the camp by the Fifth Lun.

After entering the tent, he saw that the eighth Jiao was there, while Ren Guang was busy with Song Hong's reliance food. He was busy all day long and it was hard to find anyone.

The fifth reun waved to Feng Yan: "Jingtong, come and appreciate this article together."

Only then did Feng Yan see the Longyou Wei family's proclamation to combat Mang. The date of publication should be May 28, which is the day before the fifth Lun crossed Ba, when Taibai entered the Taiwei Star Constellation.

He immediately thought: "At that time, Longyou may have learned that the general raised troops in Hongmen, but our army's manifesto did not spread quickly, and it had not yet arrived in Longyou?"

"It should be so." The fifth reun pointed to the above words: "The Wei family was also a foreign aid arranged by Liu Xin. They had long been determined to fight against the rhetoric. They had already cut off the Longguan path and knew that I was in charge, but Liu Xin rushed west and arrived, so they turned against him."

Because the two sides could not communicate at that time, there was also a manifesto coming out.

But the beginning was about the people involved in the rebellion: "The Han general Wei Xiang, the Baihu general Wei Cui, the left general Wei Yi, the middle-lei general Liu Xiu, the right general Yang Guang, the Anzhong general Liu Long, and the thirty-one generals in our alliance, and there are sixteen surnames, who will inherit the way of heaven and assist Liu Zong."

Needless to say, the three heroes of the Wei family are old acquaintances, but the real local power is his uncle Wei Cui, who is famous in Longyou and can respond to every call.

After that, the Zhonglei General Liu Xiu was Lao Liu Xin, who abandoned the title of national teacher and used his official name during the Han Dynasty.

"Can you know who Yang Guang is?" Did the Fifth Lun remember that this was not Emperor Yang of Sui? Why did he travel through time?

"Yang Guang is a powerful man in Shangji, Longxi, and a wealthy man with thousands of disciples." Feng Yan said: "Tianshui Wei and Longxi Yang, the two families are in harmony, and Longyou takes them as the leader, so he can get the 16 powerful men of the surnames to participate in the alliance."

It turned out that it was just a coincidence that these powerful armed forces gathered together, plus the mixed people, the Longyou forces, and the troops have already caught up with the 40,000 people of the fifth reunion, and at least they can continue until the autumn harvest.

Moreover, the powerful people in Longyou are not comparable to those in Guanzhong and Wei. The Han Dynasty beat the cavalry of the Xiongnu who developed the Western Regions and mainly got them from the six counties of Longyou. These men only have four words: abundant martial ethics!

This is also the reason why the fifth reun sent ace Xiao Geng to the west. In the current situation, once the two sides are hostile and the Xiliang soldiers want to enter Beijing, the threat of Wei's family is even greater than that of Tian Kuang in the east.

As for the last "General An Zhong" on the list, the fifth reunion looked at the eighth reunion: "Ji Zheng, this should be Liu Yuanbo who was exiled to the West Sea with you a few years ago?"

The Eighth Jiao and the Fifth Lun said that when the West Sea was captured by the Qiang people, he fled to Hexi, while Liu Long fled to Longyou and became a guest of the Wei family. Now he was pulled together to rebel.

Liu Long's grandfather was the Han royal family who was the first to fight against the rampant family in the late Han Dynasty. The whole family was slaughtered, leaving him as an orphan. The name of Wei was very clever.

The eighth laughed and said, "With Liu Long's temperament of fondness, maybe he took the initiative to instigate the Wei family to raise an army. Liu Long has always had a talent and is indeed quite brave. If it weren't for him in Xihai County, I would have almost died at the hands of the Qiang people."

The following long discussion is just a look. It is basically to promote one's own justice, criticize Wang Mang's sins, kill Emperor Xiaoping and usurp his throne. It is to entrust the destiny of heaven, to pretend to be a talisman, to be a king's field, and to sell and buy... Anyway, it is all the tricks of manifesto, and all the new room has been completely denied.

The last paragraph is about the expansion of momentum, such as "there are more than 2 million soldiers from Shandong outside, which have been leveled, Chu, Shu, Han, Dingwan, Luo, and four powers, and Xuanfeng Zhongyue". Such an exaggeration is probably counting the Red Eyebrow and Green Forest. With 100,000 troops, it can be called a million, and a county can be called the Jiuzhou world. A regime cannot be hyped before it goes public, and it can be bluffed. You can say nothing, maybe someone believes it.

The Wei family even regarded the fifth reunion as an ally: "The fifth general responded, and occupied Hongmen, guarded Hangu, and forced Chang'an."

However, when they raised the flag, they should not understand the fifth thoughts, so they must say that they "follow the old system of Emperor Gaozu and cultivate the legacy of filial piety and culture." They even established the Han Gaozu Temple in Longyou, worshiping the ministers and worshipping the gods, and setting up teachings.

After reading it, the fifth Lun asked Feng Yan: "Jingtong thought, how about this article?"

Feng Yan said shamelessly: "It's not as good as me."

The fifth reunification then moved away the signature covered at the end: "This is written by Liu Xin."

Liu Xin was a scholar in the world. Feng Yan suddenly became timid and coughed, "Liu Zijun alone may be able to compete with me, but the general's manifesto is actually Ziyun's legacy work that matches me. Ziyun's literary talent has been compared since the Han Dynasty. Only Jia Yi and Sima Xiangru can compare with each other. My writings are naturally far better than Liu Zijun."

"What's more, Liu Xin was originally the main hero of Wang Mang's Han Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of the Four Auxiliary, but now he has once again promoted the restoration of the Han Dynasty and has gone back to the road. How can he be convinced about this kind of repeated old thief?

Since he had decided on the fifth reunion, Feng Yan began to criticize the Han faction and draw a clear line. But the situation is not optimistic now. Their manifesto can indeed unite those who are willing to create a new regime by the fifth reunion, but it is not as attractive as the Wei family's manifesto for those who just want to make do with it.

"In fact, the most interesting thing in this manifesto is the only word at the beginning."

The fifth reunion pointed out the key to the problem and showed an interesting smile:

"Why don't you use the reign of the Green Forest Gengshi?"

"What about the inappropriate 'Year of Restoration of Han'?"

...

The fifth reunion suddenly entered the capital in that trouble, and the officials could not keep up, and Wei Xiang was also worried in Tianshui Longguan.

But the reason why Wei Xiang was worried was that he was nominally elected as "General". However, the one who really had the final say was his uncle, Wei Cui, the hero in Longyou!

Like Liu Bosheng, a hero who was eager to rebel in Nanyang, he had been thinking about rebelling against Xin for a long time. He believed that Wang Mang had repeatedly failed in foreign wars, and the Xinshi was really bad. Moreover, the court used Confucian scholars, and the royal family was even more distant from the good families of the six counties. Every year, there were not many places for Langwei in the palace, and he even planned to move the capital to Luoyang. Once this happens, the children of the six counties would only be more and more distant.

So he secretly communicated with heroes from all walks of life and recruited fugitives as guests, such as Liu Long and others.

After Wang Mang sent a large army to the east, Wei Xiang fled home and told him about Liu Xin's plan and said that the fifth reunion might also participate. Seeing that Guanzhong was empty, Wei Cui couldn't bear it anymore and in late May he urged to make an appointment.

Wei Xiang had no big ambitions at this time, and he advised his uncle: "It's a bad thing for war. If he is defeated like Zhai Yi, what's the point of the clan?"

However, Wei Cui had decided on May 25th, the day the fifth reunion took action, so he took thousands of people from the tribe and the village party to carry out the matter. He also relied on his subordinates Liu Long and others to sneak into the capital of Tianshui and killed the Dayin of Zhenrong County in Xinchao. Within a few days, he occupied a county.

He also contacted Yang Guang, a powerful man from Longxi. More than 30 people from 16 families in the two counties had a meeting together. When Old Liu Xin fled to Longyou, he informed the situation inside the pass. The two sides hit it off and formed an alliance to fight blood. He decided that Liu Xin would write a manifesto and establish one person as the main general with the hearts of the crowd.

Liu Xin knew that he could not make a sign, so he supported his old subordinate Wei Xiang. Wei Cui felt that his eldest nephew was famous and good at scriptures. Although he was a little indecisive in his work, he was no different from his decision. Yang Guang, the sister of Longxi, married Wei Xiang, and it was not impossible.

The three parties worked together to promote Wei Xiang as the general!

But Wei Xiang had few places to really have the final say. After they formally formed an alliance to raise troops, Tianshui and Longxi counties had all raised flags to respond. Each family gathered together and obtained a total of 40,000 soldiers. It was time to develop outside, but there were huge differences within the country on the future path.

Liu Xin and Liu Long were determined to fight back to Chang'an and support the fifth reunion to kill Wang Mang. Wei Cui and Yang Guang wanted to go north to attack Anding County, which was still under Wang Mang's cousin Wang Xiang, and first unify Longyou and consolidate themselves.

Wei Xiang was stuck in the middle and couldn't be a good person. In the end, he could only smooth things over and made a suggestion: "Why might as well take Xiao Guan and Long Guan first?"

Xiaoguan is the northern gateway of Guanzhong, and Longguan is the western gateway. If it can be seized, you can make progress and stability when going out to Xiaoguan. And breaking the danger of Longban can allow Longyou forces to advance and attack Yongdi in Guanzhong. If you retreat, you can use the terrain to take one to ten, and guard it behind closed doors.

Everyone adopted this suggestion, so Wei Cui and Yang Guang attacked Xiaoguan with 20,000 troops and fought with Wang Xiang; while Wei Xiang led Liu Long and other generals to lead the powerful armed forces of 10,000 troops to seize the Longban where the Guan soldiers fled.

Longban, the nine times of its skull, I don’t know how high it is. Those who want to go up can get over in seven days. The wind and snow at the highest point on the mountain were frozen in May. Now it is June, but Guan Shang is still very cool. The scenery is very different from Guanzhong: at the height of the ridge are low and vigorous birch forests, and a vast grassland, like green waves covering the entire Longshan Mountain, and simple-clad horse-dressing wranglers drive away a large group of agile horses.

The Wei family's troops were condescending and took the initiative and began to write letters to summon Lu Yu, who was surrendering to Fuwei County.

However, Lu Yu, who had thousands of soldiers, was a slippery man, but replied that he had received the manifesto from the fifth reunion and Wei family at the same time, and he didn't know who to obey.

It was not until this time that Wei Xiang realized that Chang'an had been broken and Wang Mang fled. He also looked at the final analysis of the fifth manifesto and secretly told bad things.

"The fifth Boyu's manifesto has nothing to say about restoring the Han Dynasty. Could it be that he has other ideas?"

In this way, if they advance eastward, will they fight with the subordinates of the Fifth Reun?

On the fourth day of the sixth month, three thousand cavalrymen who fled from Guanzhong came to Longban and knelt on Guan and cried bitterly.

They were all Qiang and Hu people from various vassal states in Longyou, but their words were no different from those in the Central Plains. Wang Mang fled and they also retreated from Weinan. He said that Guanzhong had no place to stand and was unwilling to accept the surrender of the fifth reunion. They all bowed their heads and hoped to return to their hometowns.

Everyone looked at each other, arguing whether to turn on and put the switch in, but saw an ugly scholar wearing sheep fur walk out of the Changshui Hu cavalry and shouting to the close: "Ji Meng, I have brought you three thousand Changshui Hu cavalry, all of which are the party of Longyou Township. They have obtained their own achievements, so why can't they hesitate?"

It was Fang Wang, a scholar of Pingling who had recruited by Wei Xiang. Wei Xiang urgently needed a strategic man to come up with his advice. He was immediately overjoyed and adopted Fang Wang's words, allowing the Changshui Huqi to scatter into Longguan, warmly entertain the Changshui Captain, and appointed him as a general, wanting to digest this armed force as a trump card to obey his command.

"It can be said that the general is waiting for you." Wei Xiang bowed to Fang Wang for a long time.

Fang Wang saw Wei's manifesto on the way to escape west, and now he stroked his beard and smiled: "I guess the reason why the General used the 'first year of Han' rather than the 'first year of Gengshi' was that he felt that the victory or defeat of Emperor Gengshi and Emperor Gengshi of the Green Forest and the Grand Sikong of the New Secretariat Wang Yi is still unknown."

Wei Xiang nodded: "Yes, at that time, he thought that if Wang Yi wins, Gengshi will collapse. However, although he still does not know the victory or defeat in the East, the fifth reunion has already occupied Chang'an, and Wang Mang fled, and the situation is different..."

Fang Wang said: "Although it is different, the world respects the Liu family and the general trend of reviving the Han family will not change. The fifth relationship does not recognize this number. I think he is just a leader of the king and a king in Guanzhong to block powerful enemies. On the contrary, the Wei family's Western Liang army has a better chance to achieve the achievements of Zhou Zhao!"

"In the future, there are countless people who are avatars of the name in this world, but there is only one person who is truly qualified to inherit the great man!"

Fang Wang asked someone to pull his carriage in: "I brought not only Changshui Huqi, but also gave a big gift to the general!"

"The orthodox crown prince of the Han family."

As the curtain of the car was lifting, Liu Ruzi was gnawing on her shoulders, making her hands full of greasy, staring blankly at Wei Xiang who bent over and looked at him.

"Liu Ying!"
