On September 18th, Liu Bosheng died on the day of his battle.

In order to dispel Emperor Gengshi's suspicion, during the days when he got married in a hurry, Liu Xiunian did cry in the night, and even asked Feng Yi to discover it. But it only took a few days. After that, he was busy traveling and lying under someone else's roof, and had to worry about the survival of his small group, and gradually faded.

But this morning, he cried especially hard. When he woke up from his nightmare, his pillow cloth was completely wet!

I can't remember the situation in the dream, it seems to be something I did when I was young, and my brother's smile was particularly clear.

Liu Xiu wiped away the tears on his face and blamed himself: "What's wrong with me? I haven't achieved my achievements, and I cried after suffering some setbacks. I'm ashamed to be the descendants of the High Emperor."

He immediately rose up and tidied up his clothes and walked out the door. This was a courtyard located outside Suiyang City, Liangdi. There were three in total. As a guest of King Liu Yong of Liang, everyone under Liu Xiu lived in.

Zhu You was reading books he found from somewhere under the shade of the tree, and he was still twisting two chess pieces in his hand. He was a lecturer at Gao Di in the Imperial Academy and could not put down the book in the army. He was gentle and kind.

Chen Jun and Fu Jun, two martial artists, fought in the yard, one with a halberd and the other with a knife and a hook, and they went back and forth.

Feng Yi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, held a palm-leaf fan in his hand, squatted in front of the stove and fanned the fire. The fireworks made his eyes narrow.

Although a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, Feng Yi is an exception. His cooking skills are actually good. Everyone is not used to eating Liangdi food, so Feng Yi is still able to make some Yingwan dishes. Zang Gong, who is diligent and hardworking, is carrying manure buckets and watering vegetables in the garden behind the yard - Liu Xiuzhong. They have been here for more than a month.

Liu Xiu came to the east under the order of Gengshi, and had two missions. One was to formally enthrone the King of Liang and allow the subsequent Gengshi regime to settle in the counties controlled by Liu Yong and Dong Xian, and the other was to recruit the Red Eyebrow Army.

But the first thing was not discussed, and the second thing was that Liu Xiu had been dragging it down, leaving only to observe the situation in Suiyang.

When everyone saw Liu Xiu get up, they stopped what they were doing and bowed to him.

Liu Xiu looked around and said, "Where are the rest?"

Feng Yi reported: "In the yáo period, Ji Zun followed Wang Ba to the city to find out the news."

"Where is Deng Yu?"

Everyone laughed: "Deng Zhonghua is still sleeping."

"Tsk." Liu Xiu laughed and scolded: "This person sleeps on a daytime basis, and it is a real rotten wood."

No matter how much he smiled, he also knew why Deng Yu got up late every day. The information collected by his subordinates was analyzed by Deng Yu all night. Sometimes Liu Xiu and Feng Yi yawned to fall asleep, but Deng Yu was still thinking about the rough map he drew for a long time.

Since the destruction of Xinmang, the situation in the world has changed. Now it is the Northern Han, Western Han, Green Han, Hu Han, and Liu Sheng from Runan who is also called emperor. The five Han dynasties were formed together, and countless heroes who dominate counties have been numerous. In more than a month, many new forces have been added to various places.

Liu Xiu not only implemented his character of "good farming" and planted vegetables in the garden to do villains, but also secretly paid attention to major events in the world.

After Deng Yu's sorting, although he was struggling with Liangcheng, Liu Xiu could also have a clearer understanding of the current situation.

It was almost time for dinner that Deng Yu had darkened his eyes and didn't care about the food Feng Yi handed over. He first analyzed the current situation for Liu Xiu with great enthusiasm.

"Now Gengshi is dispatching the Green Forest General to attack Liu Sheng, the 'Emperor' of Runan. I guess Liu Sheng is not far from defeat and can't hold on to the winter."

"King of Liang Liu Yong took advantage of Gengshi's time to look east. On the basis of Liang, Shanyang and Dingtao, he collected Pei County and personally visited Emperor Gao to sacrifice to Emperor Gao, and asked Dong Xian to go east to capture Donghai County."

"Hundreds of thousands of people in the Red Eyebrows are still in Huaibei, Wufu County in the New Dynasty, but since the beginning of autumn, the food is not enough, and gradually spread westward to Huaiyang in Chendi."

"The situation in Bashu in Hebei is not very clear."

Deng Yu finished speaking these in one breath and mentioned the most critical point: "And the brother of Ming Gong, Bo Sheng, went to Guanzhong, and was obviously going to attack the Western Han Dynasty of Longyou, but in fact he was named King Fengyi by Gengshi. I think Bo Sheng's temperament may have a battle with the fifth reunion!"

"Chang'an is a trap. I have written a letter to remind me, but Bosheng still plunged in. If he starts a war with the fifth reunion again, he may not be able to get it." Liu Xiu was worried, and couldn't help but think of the dream last night, and felt quite uneasy.

But he pretended to be optimistic: "Who can stop Bosheng with his courage?"

After saying that, he smiled and pushed the meat and vegetables to Deng Yu, who was eating with the same case: "Zhonghua is about to eat, it's cold."

Liu Xiu didn't care about others anymore. Soon, officials came to visit Liu Xiu on the order of King Liang.

"Envoy Liu."

Because Liu Xiujian was appointed as the leader of the ranks of the four directions, he was called this, but he heard the Liang Palace official say: "The King of Liang invites Liu to hunt in Liangyuan!"

...

Liangdi is also a place with a prosperous population, but near Suiyang City, there is also a garden that can be compared with Shanglin Garden. The palaces here are connected, with wonderful fruits and trees, rare birds and beasts, all of which are coming.

As the master, King Liang Liu Yong introduced this to Liu Xiu with satisfaction: "In the past, King Xiao built Yaohua's palace and built Tuyuan. Bailing Mountain at the foot of this mountain. There are smudges in the mountains, and the mountain has skin stones, fallen monkey rocks, Uncle Wen, do you think it looks like a monkey?"

I saw you more like a monkey jumping up and down, Liu Xiu smiled politely and said, "It really looks like it."

"This is the Zhuyuan, which is a collection of bamboo and wood in the garden. The travelers from all over the world have made their own poems."

Liu Yong did not hesitate to express his literary cultivation and recited a poem "The Fu of King Tuyuan of Liang: "So in late spring and early summer, Handan, Xiangguo, Yi, Zhuorong Liren and Yanfen wandering sons, they returned together and went there."

It is indeed possible to imagine that when King Xiao of Liang first built Liangyuan, Zou Yang, Gongsun Gui, Yang Sheng, Wu people, Mei Cheng, Yan Ji, Shu people, Sima Xiangru, Literature from all over the world came to visit, wandering among the strange flowers and flowers, lush forests and bamboos, but saw fog rising from the heavy building, smoke rising from the flying pavilion, leaving the palace, endless colorful clothes and green sleeves in the other halls, and endless music and singing every night. Some of the sun shines brightly, some of the moon and white winds are clear, and King Xiao and the scholars are in the rise of things and sing and answering. It is truly a literary grand occasion...

But the purpose of King Xiao of Liang to build this garden is not just for enjoyment, right? He also was self-conceited to fight against Wu Chu, and was ambitious and began to create public opinion for himself. On the one hand, Liang Garden showed wealth, and on the other hand, it was also to recruit talents to prepare.

Today's King of Liang Liu Yong, according to Liu Xiu's observation of more than a month, is not small in ambitions. Today, his intention is not to visit the garden, but to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's identity is different. He is a man of Chongling's first righteousness and a hero who fought in Kunyang, with 3,000 or more than 300,000 yuan. Liu Yongsi thought, if he could recruit this person for his own use, why worry about the big thing?

What if he doesn't want to?

That's simple. Liu Yong was trying to use the sword to kill people, so that Red Eyebrow and Green Forest Fire can be combined. He can get the benefits of the fisherman. This is a good introduction. He will reveal his ambitions a little later. If Liu Xiu refuses, Liu Yong will deliberately send someone to follow him and attack him when he is on the mission to Red Eyebrow!

Anyway, the Red Eyebrow organization is in chaos and similar things happen from time to time. Then pretend to be a green forest and beat the other side of the Red Eyebrow. This will make the Green Forest and Red Eyebrows get into evil.

With this thought, Liu Yongsui said: "Uncle Wen should go out and walk more and plant a garden in the yard. How can he enjoy hunting and exploring here?"

The two walked to a garden called "Qilongyu" and sat down. After a few sips of warm wine, Liu Yong talked about what he would not disclose.

"Does Uncle Wen know what a dragon is?"

Liu Yong asked and answered: "It means that the dragon rose and the rain went on."

"I went to Fengpei to worship Emperor Gao last month. I heard from the locals that Emperor Gao's mother Liu Yu had a sleep in the pond of the big zodiac and dreamed of meeting the gods. At that time, the lightning was dark, and the Supreme Emperor looked at it, but saw a dragon lying on Liu Yu. After that, he had a body, so he gave birth to Emperor Gao."

Although there is a suspicion that Liu Bang is not Liu Taigong's biological son, the story of this heavy-tasting husband's predecessor was spread to have a nose and eyes. Liu also believed it and indeed regarded himself as a noble dragon seed.

"Now that Xinmang has been destroyed, the Han dynasties are united, like a dragon giving birth to five sons and devouring each other. Uncle Wen thought, who is the real dragon among them?"

Liu Xiu pondered this question, savored Liu Yong's purpose, and smiled honestly: "As the minister of Emperor Gengshi, the true dragon does not have to say anything, but..."

"In Nanyang, the word "starting a dragon" does not mean that the dragon flows in the clouds and rains, but refers to landslides."

"My hometown is surrounded by mountains and often collapses after rain. Locals say that this is caused by snakes turning into dragons, so it is called dragons."

"Now, there are also groups of snakes turning into dragons, and the five dragons fighting each other, but perhaps, there are also horned snakes hidden in the mountains waiting dormantly, ready to take advantage of the momentum, succeed and roam all over the world?"

Liu Yong was surprised: "Uncle Wen refers to your brother Bosheng?"

"No, I'm not referring to Bo Sheng." Liu Xiu shook his head. His stupid brother had already fallen into the trap of trapping dragons, and I don't know what's going on now.

"The horned snake that Uncle Wen mentioned, the real dragon of the future is..."

Liu Xiu smiled without saying anything, just looked at Liu Yong, bowed slightly, and looked at him with a "you understand" expression. Liu Yong was stunned at first, and then ecstatic.

It turns out it was me!

"I know Uncle Wen's grievances."

Liu Yong held Liu Xiu's hand intimately and sighed: "The Chongling business is in the Little Chang'an, Tanghe, and finally Kunyang. Uncle Wen's achievements are no less than those of Bosheng, and are far superior to those of the Green Forest Master."

"But Gengshi couldn't even give him a king. There were so many birds that wanted to hide the good bow. It really made the heroes in the world feel disappointed!"

"The reason why I refused to send 2,000 stones into the beam was because of this concern. I think Gengshi is not a real dragon!"

"Dong Xian has not won the title of prince, but he is in the east, but he is 'King Dong'! Uncle Wen, if he stays in Liang, he will be able to build the rituals of princes in the future!"

Although he did not say that he had the ambition to be the emperor, this was clearly stated that as long as Liu Xiu was willing to surrender to him, Liu Yong would never be stingy with the title of king!

He was waiting for Liu Xiu's answer with anticipation, but his confidant rushed over and said that there was something important to report.

"It's just said to me." Liu Yong pretended to be: "Uncle Wen is my uncle, and he is my own!"

Liu Yong is Liu Bang's tenth-generation grandson, and he is a little smaller than Liu Xiu in his life. If he can be called emperor according to Liu Yong's plan, he may have to call A Xiu "Uncle" in the future.

But what the trusted believers reported made Liu Yong's dream of becoming emperor stranded again.

"Liu Sheng of Runan has been destroyed by Gengshi's commander Lulin Qu!"

"So fast?" Liu Yong was stunned. It was only two months before Liu Sheng was promoted to emperor under the instigation of the new dynasty general. Liu Sheng surrendered tens of thousands of people, claiming to be 100,000, occupying a large county, but was invincible under the attack of Green Forest. It seems that the combat power of the Green Forest Army is still strong! No wonder as strong as Liu Bosheng's brothers, one can only be excluded from Guanzhong, while the other comes to the east in shame.

It is wise to not directly call himself emperor and fight against the Green Forest. Liu Yong had a conspiracy in his mind. While slowly annexing the eastern counties and counties, he secretly made bad things and let the Red Eyebrow and Green Forest fight together.

Liu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been wandering around Liangcheng, and this was also the case that he was waiting for!

After conquering Runan County, a large county with a population of more than 2.5 million, plus the wealthy places in the Central Plains such as Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Luoyang, Gengshi Green Forest is still the most powerful person.

The second is the fifth reunion, the Northern Han, Western Han, etc., and the King of Liang was even worse. After this battle, at least the King of Liang did not dare to jump, and it was no problem to issue proclamations from various parts of the south. Under the banner of Gengshi, it was more useful than to surrender to the King of Liang or to stand up in a hurry.

So Liu Xiu knew what to do next.

He then bowed to Liu Yong: "Since Emperor Gengshi has conquered Runan and has freed his hand, I dare not stay for too long, otherwise Gengshi will be suspicious!"

Liu Yong looked at him squintedly: "Uncle Wen still wants to be ordered to go to Chimei?"

"If you work in all directions, you can be called a scholar. Although the red eyebrows are unruly and difficult to control, you still have to go."

Liu Xiu neither said good nor bad about Liu Yong's recruitment. He just had an ambiguous attitude and just whispered: "Does the king hope to surrender the Red Eyebrow?"

"What does Uncle Wen think?" Although Liu Yong hated the Red Eyebrow Army who had dug up the tombs of several generations of Liang King, he knew the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

"As soon as Liu Sheng of Runan left, the only one who blocked me and Gengshi was left with Red Eyebrows."

"Now Xiu knows what to do when it comes to Red Eyebrows." Liu Xiu said with a smile, giving Liu Yong an ambiguous attitude, and confusing him for a while, so as to avoid being sent by this person to pretend to Red Eyebrows as soon as he left Liangdi!

He then said goodbye to Liu Yong, and before leaving, he glanced at the dragon gourd, and there was a geese and wu pool next to it, and there were Hezhou and Fuzhu in the pool.
