"The land of Shu capital was called Liangzhou in ancient times. Yu governed his river, and looked up at the mountains and green, and was fertile and fertile for thousands of miles. When the upper part was checked, the wells and the inner part was stored; when the lower part was recorded, the palace was established."

This is a poem by Yang Xiong Shu Capital. As a major surname in Shu, Li Xiong memorized the works of his fellow villagers.

He was standing on the Chengdu city wall with his hands on his back. Looking back at the 29th gate of Chengdu, the two rivers and the nine bridges bring the waves.

In the inner and outer cities, the streets are spacious and clean, the houses are lined up, and pedestrians are frequent. The Shu brocade has resumed production. Under the manipulation of female workers, the loom makes a chirping sound. In the prosperous times, they were the most popular treasures in the Central Plains and even the Western Regions.

There were more than 400 villages outside the city, smoke was curling. Some were busy taking care of taro, some were busy pounding rice. Under the palm tree, the old man holding a dove stick sat on the ground, and some were holding food in his hands and walked towards the old man slowly. The yellow dog was lying on the ground and basking in the sun. The years were quiet and peaceful, and this was the case.

As a "prime minister", Li Xiong was quite pleased with this: "It is the result of the King of Shu who can maintain the prosperity of Chengdu for two hundred years since the Han Dynasty in troubled times."

This is also the reason why Li Xiong was devoted to serving Gongsun Shu. He dared to say that looking at the world, after the collapse of Xinmang, although he didn't know how many people proclaimed emperors or kings, there were only a handful of regimes that could maintain order and production under his rule!

Li Xiong didn't believe in "people's hearts think of the Han Dynasty" at all, and once threatened: "The destiny of heaven is impermanent, and the people and those who can do it, and those who can do it will take it!"

Gongsun Shu was this "powerful person". In addition to the capital of becoming king, he also kept secretly and did not dare to disclose the imperial seal, but was rich in Shu and strong in military strength.

"Now Shandong is famine, and people and common people eat each other; they are slaughtered by military disasters, and the cities and towns have become ruins."

"Only, my Shu land is fertile for thousands of miles, the soil is fertile, and the fruits are born from it. Even if it is not cultivated, it can be full. The female workers' industry covers the world. The precious wood and bamboo are rich, and the equipment is rich and cannot be used. It also has the advantage of fish, salt, copper and silver, and the convenience of floating water and transporting water, which is the king's business!"

Relying on the half-true and half-false "Green Forest Han soldiers plundered and killed", the people of Yizhou were indeed frightened, and the peaceful Gongsun Shu attracted them to surrender like a bright lamp. In the troubled times, people fled to peaceful places, just like returning from the flowing water, and many scholars and people from far away came to rely on them.

"Now the southeastern Qianwei County (Yibin) has surrendered, and the chief of Qiong in Yuezhi County (Xichang) has also sent people to recruit people."

As for Yizhou County (Yunnan), and Jingzhou County (Guizhou), which was a mess in the Wang Mang era, with few households and many barbarians. Jingzhou Jucheng State became famous by repelling Xinmang's three expeditions and becoming a county overlord. The descendants of the Dian King of Yizhou County wanted to restore the country, and Kunming Yi was unruly. As long as they did not fight for trouble, they would not have to pay attention to it.

"If Shu Kingdom wants to be stable, it must go north and go east!"

"There are Hanzhong, Wudu in the north, blocking Bao, Xi and Qishan; the east is guarding Ba County and resisting the mouth of Guanguan, so that it is considered safe. If there is no profit, stick to farm, and if there is profit, you will send troops to cover the land. When there is a river flowing east to seize Jing, Yang, and get all the southern countries. Only in this way can you further establish the imperial industry from the king's business!"

But at this point, the resistance encountered by their regime was also very obvious. Now the Western Han Dynasty controlled Wudu, the Green Han Dynasty controlled Hanzhong. As for Nanjun and Jiangxia, there were also Tian Rong forces who accepted the seal of Liu Xuan's "Nanjun Prefect" and blocked the Three Gorges.

That is why Li Xiong urgently proposed that he should form an alliance with King Lun of Wei to fight against the Han dynasties.

The problem is that Shiniu Road, Micang Road and other dangerous situations can be blocked, and Emperor Gengshi and King Liu Jia of Hanzhong can be blocked. The two sides are already hostile, so it is difficult to send envoys north, and it takes a lot of time to detour from the Three Gorges.

But what surprised Gongsun Shu and Li Xiong was that the King of Wei seemed to have noticed that his power that did not respect the Han Dynasty had sent an envoy to smuggle Hanzhong to meet him, and joined the defenders of Shu at Jiameng Pass and arrived in Chengdu today!

Li Xiong also asked the reporter: "Who is here to send me?"

"Wei Guodianke, whose courtesy name is Jingtong, was also a confidant official of Wang Lun of Wei."

"Yes, it's impossible for this job unless it's an important official."

However, in the heart of the fifth reunion, Feng Yan's entry into Shu was just a piece of chess. It was useless to succeed, and there was no loss if it failed. Even if Feng Yan unfortunately died, the fifth reunion would definitely cry, but it would not be necessary to shed a few tears.

Li Xiong remembered this name. As the prime minister, he came to the city to wait in person. Seeing a convoy approaching the "Xianyang Gate" in the north of Chengdu in the distance, he went down to the city to greet him outside Guomen.

But he saw the man in the car described it as thin and thin, with his former fine skin and tender flesh, which was also tanned on the Ziwu Road and the Shiniu Road, which seemed a little tired, but he held a scepter in his hand: an eight-foot long pole, and the end of the pole was decorated with yellow yak tail dyed, which was actually three levels...

Feng Yan divided the eight-foot bamboo stick into five sections, hid it on different people, and also untied the yak tails until they were connected with the Shu people, and then took them out and combined them together. It was really difficult.

At this moment, the stick was floating gently against the dry northwest wind, and Feng Yan held him and walked slowly towards Li Xiong under the eyes of the Shu people, and bowed gracefully: "Feng Yan, a foreign minister, was ordered by the King of Wei, and came on his behalf to sweep the tomb of Ziyun Gong and pay homage to the King of Shu!"

Both military advisors, Li Xiong heard what he implied from Feng Yan's verbally admitting "King of Shu": "The King of Wei also wants to be the King of Kings, fifth, Gongsun, Wei and Shu jointly overthrow the Han Dynasty!"

Fang Wang, the military advisor of Wei, saw Feng Yan rebuking each other with the same sex, and was quite jealous. When Li Xiong saw Feng Yan doing this, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation and had a great impression!

Li Xiong only secretly praised: "There is Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty, and the Wei Dynasty has Feng Yan."

"This person is really a national scholar!"

...

Liu Xiu's military advisor is basically the youngest among his subordinates, Deng Yu, who is only over 20 years old, making a guest appearance.

"Ming Gong lie down on the same bed with Hou Ba last night and talks all night, but I don't know how it's going."

Feng Yi and Deng Yu had no strange looks when talking about this. They all knew that this was Liu Xiu's habit and liked to show intimacy. When Feng Yi first surrendered to Liu Xiu, he often kept him lying on his lieutenant before and after the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu often discussed military discussions. Because of this, Feng Yi found that there were tears on his pillow mat...

After Deng Yu followed the weak grain, the person who stayed in Liu Xiu's house was replaced by him. After all, there is no territory or war now, and Feng Yi cannot use it. However, Deng Yu, who has extensive knowledge, can analyze the general trend of the world.

Now Feng Yi learned that he was not the first person to sleep with Liu Xiu, and some people came first before him and Deng Yu...

"When Ming Gong was in the Imperial Academy, he often lie down with his fellow disciples Zhuangziling." Deng Yu shared this news with Feng Yi, but Feng Yi only laughed it off.

When Liu Xiu came to Linhuai County to join Hou Ba, he was in Zhuang Ziling's relationship. He was the common friend of Liu Xiu and Hou Ba. With Liu Xiu's temperament, he soon became close to Hou Ba and almost became brothers.

Soon, Liu and Hou came out side by side. They summoned the Linhuai officials and Liu Xiu's subordinates to a meeting, but they even pushed each other.

"Jun Fang is the east lord of Linhuai, how dare Xiu cross it?"

"Uncle Wen is the envoy of the Gengshi Emperor. He has great achievements. He is also the governor of Xuzhou. He is Hou Ba's boss. If you don't sit in the main seat, who will sit?"

After a while of humility, Liu Xiu finally sat in the right seat. This scene made Deng Yu and Feng Yi quite excited and exchanged glances. It seemed that relying on Liu Xiu's good at making friends, being humble and righteous, the question of "who is the one who decides Linhuai County" was finally concluded after they arrived in nearly a month!

However, Hou Ba's old officials looked at each other and were a little unwilling to accept it. Many of them felt that Liu Xiu and others were here to occupy the nest!

Then Hou Ba knew his ability very well. He was from Henan County. In his early years of Wang Mang's reign, he was recommended by Chen Chong, a Wuweisishi, and became the county magistrate. Since Hou Ba was born in Wuweisishi, he naturally knew the rules and regulations and showed his style of following officials. He killed tyrants in the case and captured bandits. The county was quiet. After achieving achievements, he was promoted step by step and finally came to this southeastern land to become a ban official.

He was quite brave and decisive in his work. Over the past ten years, he had managed government affairs smoothly. When Wang Mang was defeated, he was able to gather soldiers and civilians to protect the county and maintain peace in Huaiyin.

But Hou Ba knew very well that in the world of great struggle, he had enough to protect himself, but wanted to do more, but was powerless.

"Although Linhuai has a population of one million, how dare you disobey the Han Emperor? Whether it is the bandits on the river coming from north or the hundreds of thousands of red eyebrows going south, we are all deceased ghosts."

He also felt afraid when he heard that the leader Chen Chong was regarded as a "people's thief" by the fifth reign of Guanzhong. As a remnant official of the new dynasty, Hou Ba thought about it and wanted to seek shelter from the Green Man. He only regretted that the Red Eyebrows were blocking it, and Li Xian in Huainan had separatist affairs, and the news was cut off and he could not communicate.

Now that Kunyang's hero Liu Xiu arrived with the edict of Emperor Gengshi, Hou Ba naturally respected him.

But at first he was quite cautious and did not relax his vigilance because they had a common friend. Until they observed for more than a month, they talked to each other several times and found that although Liu Xiu looked simple, he was kind and wise, with many powers and interests. He also saw that Deng Yu, Feng Yi and others were either big children or handsome heroes. With Liu Xiu’s reputation in the Kunyang War, he might be able to make up for the military struggle that he lacked the most?

Hou Ba then made up his mind.

"In this chaotic world, I don't have the ability to compete for the tripod, and I dare not have such ambition. It would be better to let Liu Xiu be the leader of Linhuai and I retreat to his auxiliary wing. This is the way to go."

So he pretended to say: "I am a minister of the Xinmang rioters. Now that the Han Dynasty is revived, I should give out the official seal and go to prison to wait for the Gengshi emperor to punish him. The Xuzhou Mu is the green man in the imperial family, so I also ask for another person to be the county magistrate."

Before Hou Ba could surrender, he was supported by Liu Xiu: "Why did Mr. Hou say this? You have great virtues and high talents, and you can resist the bandits in the north and south. If it were not Mr. Hou, Linhuai would hardly be protected, and we would not have a place to settle down. Now Xiu has just taken office, and his virtues are shallow and at a loss. Will Mr. Hou bear to abandon me and leave? The world will regard Xiu as a righteous person!"

After this, the two groups of people stood up several times and almost tensely pushed each other, the two finally reached a consensus: Liu Xiu was the governor of Xuzhou and in charge of military affairs, while Hou Ba was still the governor of Linhuai County, in charge of government affairs and people's livelihood. Liu Xiu, the fake Xuzhou master, also patted his chest and said that he must write memorials and strive to make Chen Hou Ba's contributions, so that Gengshi would pardon him and grant him a marquis a mercy!

After the matter today was settled, Liu Xiu's "Xuzhou Prime Minister" shogunate was officially opened. When he shut down others and only had his confidants, Fu Jun couldn't help but say: "This Hou Ba is finally willing to hand over the military power to Ming Gong. It's not in vain that we have been tolerating for so long. He knows the truth, otherwise..."

Otherwise, they would become more impatient guys, Hou Ba, and forcefully acted to seize the throne!

Although the civil affairs are still under the jurisdiction of Hou Ba, and the old subordinates in the army are dissatisfied, Liu Xiu believes that with a little means, he and his subordinates will soon be able to control thousands of county soldiers in Linhuai.

He smiled and made everyone suppress their excitement, and looked at Deng Yu: "Zhonghua, Linhuai is equivalent to my own. Let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

Deng Yu came here for a few months and used the "tourism" to survey the landforms. He already had a strategy in his mind. At this moment, he talked: "This county has the resources to breed, and Hangou, Huai and Si have the benefits of transporting grain. He blocked the Huai and the sea and controlled Xuzhou. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fuchai wanted to open the Central Plains and tell the Jianghuai that he was engaged in it. After that, there were affairs in the north and south, they all rely on important towns. Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was born here, and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew also used this as a basis."

He analyzed: "Now the King of Liang is in Pengcheng in the north, and the Red Eyebrow is blocking it, which is a strong enemy. On the west is the New Dynasty Lujiang Grand Priest Li Xian separatist. He wanted to occupy Huainan and also had tens of thousands of soldiers. The soldiers of Linhuai County had just been attached to Ming Gong and could not be used to fight against powerful enemies. According to my opinion, it is better to go south first and take Guangling (now Yangzhou) to practice troops!"

"Guangling." Liu Xiu nodded. He was a smart man who learned from others. He already knew Deng Yu's plan and said meaningfully: "That is the capital of King Liu Bi of Wu."

"I heard that Liu Hong, the last king of Guangling, was surrounded by thieves on the river, and had asked Linhuai for help several times, but Hou Ba did not rescue him out of caution..."

"Relatives from all Xia Xia should not be abandoned." Deng Yu said: "If Duke Ming could save King Guangling and gain this county, he would have a great reputation in the southeast, no less than Duke Huan of Qi to save the Wei! In the future, he would use Guangling as a port and send generals to cross the river to the south, collect Danyang and Kuaiji, and there would be no obstacles!"

"Wu King Liu Bi obtained 53 cities from Guangling and other three counties, and became a domineering in the south; Xiang Yu fought north with his 8,000 children from Jiangdong, and ran rampant in the world."

Deng Yu bowed: "If Ming Gong could take the entire land of Wu, why worry about the king's career not prospering?"

...

At the end of October, the land of Wu was still a little cool, but Guanzhong where King Lun of Wei was located was already very cold.

The fifth reunion was wearing a thick bear fur and was standing in front of the huge Guanzhong map with all the generals, tying nails on it one by one.

"Baling King Zun, Duling's surname, and Zhuge, martial arts..."

Each nail represents a powerful man in Weinan who is stubborn and is looking forward to the Western Han Dynasty to rescue him or the Green Han reenter the Guanzhong. With more than 30 surnames in Weibei being ruthlessly defeated by the fifth reunion, they no longer have hope for Wei.

As the internal problems in Weibei were resolved, the fifth reunification army was about to march south.

Finally, the fifth reunion pressed the largest nail heavily on Lantian Mountain: "There are also the remnants of Liu Bosheng's troops in Shipeng Pass!"

Hearing this place name, Zheng Tong, Hou of Shangyan, was no longer ashamed and bowed his head, but was full of fighting spirit!

Wu Lun turned around and pointed to Cen Peng, Wan Xiu and others, pointing to these dense nails and said, "You guys, within one month, I want no nails on this map, left..."

"Removing them all!"

...

ps: Chapter 2 is at 23:00.

In a small position, Liu Xiu likes to sleep with others:

(Deng Yu) often stayed in the middle, and (Liu Xiu) discussed with the decision.

Because they were lying down together, Guang (Yan Ziling) put his feet on the emperor's belly. Tomorrow, the Grand Historian reported that the guest star was in a hurry to sit in. The emperor laughed and said, "My old friend Yan Ziling lies down together."
