Mangdang Mountain is a hundred miles long, with lush pines and cypresses. There are many piles of hills, which are the tombs of princes of the Han Dynasty, the most famous of which is the tomb of King Xiao of Liang.

In the place far away from the mausoleum, Dong Xian and Fan Chong were in progress. Dong Xian scoffed at the surrender order of Emperor Gengshi of the Green Forest and said that he could be a marquis.

I started a war earlier, and I became famous earlier. I am known as 100,000 yuan, and it is not inferior to you. Why do I bow to the Green Forest?

So he had the idea of ​​establishing an emperor alone. Didn’t those smart scholars say “people think about the Han” every day? Well, even Dong Xian had already found the candidate for the Han emperor.

"There is a large tomb on Mangdang, which is the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. It cuts the mountains into silhouettes and penetrates the stones into hiding them, which is spectacular."

Speaking of the tomb, Fan Chong's eyes lit up suddenly, but he just didn't say anything. Let's listen to Dong Xian continue to talk.

"The descendants of King Xiao of Liang had a great prestige in Liang and were deeply supported by the people. They were only abolished by Wang Mang and their lineage was cut off."

Dong Xian said: "Liu Yong of Suiyang is the eighth-generation grandson of King Xiao of Liang. Now he recruits heroes from all counties and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If he can get the support of hundreds of thousands of Red Eyebrows, we will make King Liang the emperor, and you and I can all be nobles!"

"Just like Chen Sheng said in Wu, kings, princes, generals, and ministers, would you rather have a genitals? Fan San Lao, what do you think?"

Joining forces with Liu Yong is Dong Xian's best way to see Red Eyebrows now. With Red Eyebrow's strength and Liu Yong's bloodline title, the powerful people are willing to cooperate. They are enough to control Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, and divide Guandong with the Green Han to compete for the world!

But in the face of temptation, Fan Chong did not respond immediately. He just drank the wine in the cup and sighed for a while: "This wine is so delicious. Is it the bar of the King of Liang Liu Yong?"

"It is exactly what King Liang Jiaozhai has found."

Dong Xian thought Fan Chong was greedy for the cup: "As long as the three elders are willing to join Liang, such a good wine can be drunk every day!"

Dong Xian had a deep understanding. It was not until he joined forces with King Liang that he realized that his past 30 years had lived to be a dog! Liu Yong married his sister to Dong Xian. Dong Xian, who was just a fisherman, held the delicate "Wenzhu" of Liu, who was so happy that he couldn't find the north. The delicious food in Liang Palace was also quite satisfied. He even began to learn to appreciate Zhong Ming's music, and at the same time he was devoted to planning for Liu Yong.

But Dong Xian did not realize that Fan Chong and himself were completely different people.

Fan Chong raised his eyes: "Can the 200,000 or 300,000 brothers and sisters under my command drink?"

"This..." Dong Xian didn't understand Fan Chong's meaning for a while. How could this be possible? There were only a few people who could reach the top, such as the "Liangshan Red Eyebrow" under his command. In half a year, the Qu soldiers turned into county magistrates, nobles, and the ordinary Red Eyebrows, which had a number of 100,000, were servants for his commanders. Compared with the past, they were just a change of master to work.

Fan Chong said slowly, "You know, I was born in a humble family and didn't know how to write. Since I was young, I have been a tenant farmer and farmed for people. Later, I couldn't stand the harsh government and corvee service, so I rebelled. More and more people followed me. What are you asking for? It's just that I have less harsh taxes and corvee service, so that I can live a life."

"Last year, the new army was defeated and showed its might. I don't think anyone can make things difficult for us, so let everyone return home and disperse."

"But many people returned to their hometowns and found that everything was the same."

"The good fields are still occupied by the powerful. If you put down your weapons, you want you to pick up the farm tools and continue to work hard."

"People who were scattered back home were either killed by the powerful or killed the powerful. They became the powerful themselves. More people returned to Dongtai Mountain to join me, saying that they would not live with Chimei."

"What can I do? I can only wipe my eyebrows again and ask for life with everyone."

Fan Chong also tried to return to his hometown Ju County, but his hometown regarded Chimei as a bandit and refused to accept it. Only then did he realize that since they gave up their farm tools and killed officials and rebelled, they would have no homeland.

The people below were hungry and could only swim to places with food. So under Fan Chong, they broke through three prefectures and counties in one breath. The people in the Red Eyebrow began to get used to this kind of life - not doing production, killing officials everywhere, robbing the rich and helping the poor.

As their leader, Fan Chong had only one simple wish.

"I don't want to be a king, prince, general, and minister."

"I just want everyone below to have a full meal."

Of course, only those who joined the Red Eyebrow, not including those who were harmed by them, Fan Chong was not so fraternal.

This is the biggest problem that bothers Fan Chong. He knew that life was not good in the past. He led everyone to fight and kill the officials Hao You who hated him, but he didn't know how to make them live a good life!

Fan Chong was not educated and could not trust scholars. He even hated the powerful men of the great surnames and could only follow his instincts and acted blindly.

He only knew that if he wanted to leave and continue to be slaughtered, Chimei had to continue walking, and perhaps the next place could find the answer he was striving to find?

But the answer given by King Liang and Dong Xian was not something Fan Chong liked.

"The food of the Red Eyebrow is earned by the sword and weapons in his hands, not by the alms of King Liang or any king."

"If you want to support the emperor, you can set it up yourself."

Fan Chong looked at Dong Xian, who had completely become a member of "kings, princes, generals and ministers", satisfied with the satisfaction of being rich and frugal, and forgot why he rebelled, and poured the wine into dryness.

"If the red eyebrows don't hit the red eyebrows, I can't do it!"

...

Suiyang (Shangqiu) is not far from Mangdang Mountain. In just two days, Liu Yong waited for Dong Xian's return and immediately hurriedly met him.

"General Dong, how about the meeting with Fan Chong?"

Liu Yong was serious about the symmetry of Emperor Symposium. Although Gengshi was willing to proclaim him the "King of Liang", after joining forces with Dong Xian, Liu Yong's ambition was more than that.

His ancestor, Liu Wu, King Xiao of Liang, was the younger brother of Emperor Jing of Han. Before the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Emperor Jing of Han once said to King Liang: "After I live my life, I will be passed down to you, King Liang."

As a result, King Liang was deceived to fight against the Wu and Chu rebels in Suiyang, winning time for Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion. Afterwards, Emperor Jing of Han turned against him, which made King Xiao of Liang very angry. Although he had also worked hard to plan the matter, he even sent someone to assassinate the minister who opposed him ascend the throne, he was beaten hard by Han Jing and died of depression.

Liang State was divided into five, and its power was not as strong as before. He never had any unreasonable thoughts, but Liu Yong felt that he could think about it again.

As long as Chimei joins, his troops, even places that can be controlled, can surpass Gengshi. At that time, there will be no distinction between the top and bottom?

However, Dong Xian reported with a gloomy face that the meeting was not going well, and he didn't understand what Fan Chong was thinking!

"Fan Chong is a man who has no ambitions and cannot achieve great things." Dong Xian asserted that he had been in a military service for several years and wanted to be together with the people below, without a banner or an official position? In his opinion, it would be a miracle that Fan Chong's subordinates could be so united and not disintegrated along the way.

Liu Yong still wanted to fight for it. It was useless to be a good food and a royal throne. So let's change the way to seduce it with beautiful colors. His sister has more than one: "Since that's the case, where will Fan Chong go?"

Dong Xian said angrily: "If he didn't enter Liang, Pei County would eat all of it. He could only go south to Wufu County, Huaibei to eat. He would most likely stay there before the autumn harvest."

However, the next day, someone came to report to Mangdang Mountain, which made Liu Yong immediately furious and gave up his plan to continue recruiting Fan Chong.

"Before Fan Chong went south, he sent someone to find the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, and led his subordinates to excavate, break the naked body of the coffin, and plunder the golden treasure!"

"What!"

When Liu Yong heard that his ancestor's tomb was dug, he almost vomited blood. If Fan Chong did not cooperate, he would not cooperate. There was no injustice or revenge. What should he do to dig his ancestor's tomb?

The official guarding the tomb came to cry and said, "Originally, King Xiao's tomb was full of tombs and tombs, and the pine and cypresses were still worthy of respect and solemnity. Now he is stained by the red eyebrows and has been shattered and exposed, and his bones are exposed!"

"The gold, jade and jewelry on the deceased were tied with a silk floss belt and were cut off by the blade."

"The bells, drums, banquets, wine pots and other items were also dug out and washed with water to make them utensils for cooking beans and rice, and even melted into weapons."

"Fan Chong buried hundreds or thousands of corpses of slaves who were buried with him properly, but dug out the bones of the Liang kings, concubines and princes of all dynasties who were placed in several layers of coffins and threw them all around the mountain."

"And there is the one who buried the jade box of Princess Liang, who will be like a hundred years after burial. Therefore, the Red Eyebrow... The Red Eyebrow thief actually acted obscene in front of him!"

It was horrifying and outrageous. Liu Yong was stunned when he heard it, his hands were already trembling with anger, and Dong Xian was also shocked.

Liu Yong suppressed his anger of immediately rushing his troops to fight to the death with Fan Chong, and bowed to Dong Xian: "The land of Liang is still the rule of King Dong and King Liang. You and I are as close as a family, and will not change because of the traitors in Fan's chaos."

The Liang King's power, because of this inexplicable thing, was already dying with the Red Eyebrow, and Liu Yong had already thought of a perfect way.

"Borrow a sword and kill people!"

"The matter of becoming emperor can only be postponed. I have to temporarily accept the title of King Liang from Gengshi."

"Then the separation between the red eyebrows and Gengshi."

"Use the Red Eyebrow to kill the Green Forest, and then let the Green Forest weaken the Red Eyebrow!"

Dong Xian no longer wanted to raise troops together to fight Chengchang. He is now King Dong and does not want to be Dong Giant or Dong San Lao.

"I am also ashamed to be with the Red Eyebrow."

Their Red Eyebrow Name really made many Liangdi tyrants very careful, and they could only choose one of the lower and upper routes.

In the future, the Red Eyebrow may be the enemy, so they must have a new sign and separate it from it.

"Bah!" Dong Xian spitted into his hand, wiped off the red clay from the eyebrows on his forehead, and asked someone to take the ochre soil, grabbed it and wiped it on his neck!

In the future, this is the symbol of his King Dong's command.

"We are the Red Neck Army!"

...

It was also early July, and Liu Xiu, who had already taken over the entire Yingchuan county with Ma Wu, Wang Chang and others, was about to attack Luoyang as a vanguard, but was transferred by Emperor Gengshi to ask him to go to Kunyang City to meet him.

On the way south, Liu Xiucai was shocked to learn that because of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty in the West, Liu Xuan was furious and made his brother Liu Bosheng advance his strategy to Guanzhong and asked his brother Liu Bosheng to Wuguan with nearly 30,000 troops and horses that had expanded to Wuguan, hoping to restore Chang'an and attack Longyou in the west, and now he has set off.

This is different from Liu Xiu's plan. It makes Liu Xiu frown deeply. Although entering the pass is his brother's dream, why didn't Gengshi do it on purpose and want him to lose each other with the "Western Han Dynasty"?

After a while, Liu Xiu laughed again.

"The fifth reunion is in Guanzhong, and it has something to do with me. Now he has defeated Wang Mang. The giving up Chang'an means that he has no intention of stealing the imperial capital. If I can write a letter and let the fifth reunion help my brother, why worry about Longyou not breaking?"

Liu Xiu didn't know that the fifth reunion had become king at this time, but he still did not forget to join the gang and help his brother together. If Bosheng could join the fifth reunion in Guanzhong, get his assistance and repeat the path of the high emperor, it would be no problem...

When Liu Xiu arrived outside Kunyang City, which had been emptied, a letter from Guanzhong, which had been smuggled through countless passes, showed that he and the fifth reunion had simply thought of going together.

Liu Xiu wants the fifth relationship, and the fifth relationship also wants him!

Liu Xiu was quite happy that Yin Lihua was "protected" by the fifth reunion, and he did not doubt that he was there. However, the fifth reunion proposed to let Liu Xiu go to Guanzhong to "reunite", which made Liu Xiu hesitant.

Although Gengshi was angry with the Western Han Dynasty of Longyou, it was impossible for him to let his brothers enter the pass together. So, he sent someone to send him to Liangdi. This time he came back to Kunyang to be ordered to face the sage. Should he accept the appointment to go to Liangdi, where good fortune and misfortune are unknown, or to enter Guanzhong to join his brother to win over his fifth relationship, it is really embarrassing. His disobedience will inevitably lead to Gengshi breaking up with Liu Bosheng. And the heroes gathered in Yingchuan, are they willing to escape together?

Also, the intention of recruiting the fifth reunion revealed in the letter also surprised Liu Xiu. Perhaps he underestimated the ambition of the fifth reunion...

But soon Liu Xiu didn't care about this because he found that the letter had been removed before he read it and the mud was removed!

Liu Xiu was immediately alert and looked at Fu Jun who was seriously injured and stayed here because of the battle in Kunyang: "Who has ever heard of this letter before me?"

Fu Jun said: "Due to the turmoil of war, the people sent by the Fifth Reun don't know where the general is, so they only found Kunyang, so they worked hard to find him and were caught as a meticulous act. Fortunately, General Li Yi was patrolling the camp that day. After reading the letter, he laughed. After a while, he sent someone over. We sealed it properly and did not dare to watch it."

"Li Yi?" This is one of the thirteen cavalry generals who followed Liu Xiu out of Kunyang to rescue soldiers. Although under Liu Xiu's leadership, his younger sister married Li Tong, so in the eyes of Liu Xiu's confidants, the Li family in Wancheng was all their own people.

However, Liu Xiu knew very well that Li Yi was different! This person has always been very close to Lulin Qushuai and often flattered Gengshi, and was still the case even after hitting Kunyang.

Liu Xiu immediately went to Li Yi's military tent: "Where is General Li Yi now? I have to thank him in person if I have something to do."

But he was told: "General Li went south yesterday to welcome His Majesty Gengshi."

Liu Xiu immediately knew that something was wrong and sweated coldly for a moment.

"Oops!"
