Standing at the top of Wancheng City, Liu Xuan seemed to be able to see the firelight on Bowangpo.

"Have you won?"

In late last month, the two armies of Chimei arrived in separate routes. The north road was blocked by Kunyang Pass, and the south road crossed Funiu Mountain and rushed straight to Wancheng. The only pass in front of them was Bowangpo, dozens of miles north of Wancheng. The area was surrounded by Funiu Mountain in the north, Yinshan Mountain in the south, and Baihe River in the west, making it a hill extending here to Funiu Mountain, with a dangerous terrain.

The only remaining kings in the green forest gathered a large army to set up an ambush in Bowang, hoping to take advantage of the local dense forest after autumn, set off fire to turmoil, and defeat the mob in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Red Eyebrows are best at fighting. After a day and night of fighting in the fire, the Kings of Green Forest were defeated. Zhu Yu, who was ordered to supervise the battle in front, retreated to Wancheng withdrew from the bad news and informed Liu Xuan of the bad news.

When Liu Xuan rings the bell and summons the ministers to discuss countermeasures, the people in the hall are already dissatisfied. The officials who were promoted by him, "raising them under the stove, rotten sheep's stomachs, rotten sheep's heads" escaped, and Liu Xuan felt what it means to betrayal of relatives.

The rest of the people also argued endlessly. The King of Yan, the King of the Yuan clan of Chongling, felt that since the Red Eyebrow Army established the "Liu Gonghe" as the emperor, after all, they were the same descendants of the Han family, and they might be able to send people to discuss peace. As for the Green Han, they were willing to submit to the Red Han, and everyone could get rid of the title of King Liu Xuan, as long as they were named King Liu Xuan and ruled by the river.

Zhu Yu was very anxious: "What is Liu Gonghe? After catching the Red Eyebrow captive, he finally asked clearly. Red Eyebrow didn't plan to restore the Han Dynasty. Those five public peace don't want the emperor, and the thief without a king or a father, how to talk about it!"

The surrendered faction was immediately silent, and then there were Li Tong and several powerful men in Nanyang who were waiting for the battle: "Please recruit death-killing men and officials in the city today, and lead the sons of the family to defend. Wancheng was once guarded by Yan You and Cen Peng for half a year. Now the city has sufficient food, so the people can hold on to the death and fight to the death, and may be able to wait for the army to serve the king..."

There is no other way to support the king? Liu Xuan did not have any hope, but he nodded in agreement. He knew that Nanyang Haoyou was no longer in the same position as him.

"I want the emperor to personally fight and ascend to the city to guard!"

As he said that, he also handed over the keys of the palace to Li Tong solemnly, and trained soldiers in the palace. Even the concubines had to pierce armor, as if they were really going to fight to meet the enemy.

However, at night that day, Liu Xuan secretly left the palace city and entered Zhu Yu, Shen Tu Jian and Liao Zhan in the military camp south of the city. After arriving at the camp, Liu Xuan's two personal soldiers pulled off their ponytails and made beards. It turned out that the one who was so strong that he could carry the flag was his favorite Mrs. Han, and the other was Mrs. Zhao.

Liu Xuan also knew that the situation was urgent, and more than a hundred concubines could not bring them all, so he could only bear the pain and only took two scoops.

Emperor Gengshi divided the silk and silk he brought to the last Green Forest Army and selected nine hundred horses to stand by. In the early morning of the next day, in the drizzle of early autumn, Liu Xuan and Zhu Yu, Shen Tu Jian and Liao Zhan took tens of thousands of people to apply oil to the soles of their feet. Instead of going to the north to personally fight against the Red Eyebrow, they fled south!

On the way south, Liu Xuan kept looking back at Wancheng, not knowing whether it was rain or tears on his face. Mrs. Han said, "Your Majesty, follow the rules of Nanyang, and thank the city now before leaving home!"

Liu Xuan nodded, stopped the team, got off the horse and bowed to Wancheng, then got on the horse, and said to Mrs. Han happily:

"Although Wancheng is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. The emperor should live in the upper reaches. I will take my wife south and go back to my hometown!"

...

Liu Xuan's escape this time was really unauthentic. Early this morning, I heard that the Green Forest Army outside the city was rushing away. Li Tong, the King of Xiping, who was still anxiously organizing the city defense, was shocked and immediately went to knock on the palace gate to report.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the palace gate was opened, it was full of chaos inside. The hundreds of concubines who were thrown by Liu Xuan shouted and ran around, saying that the emperor could not be found!

"This guy actually ran away!"

Li Tong stomped his feet, but the news could not be hidden. Wancheng was in chaos. When the powerful people in the city saw that how could they defend it? So they asked the servants to protect each other and fled back to the fort. The city defense suddenly collapsed. The people often heard that the Red Eyebrow was vicious and even sucked people, for fear that Wancheng would be catastrophe again after the long defense of the city last year, and they also fled in a hurry.

"Brother, what should I do?" Li Yi, the king of the Dance, never expected that Liu Xuan and the Green Lin Shuai did not even say hello. He was useless to think that he had already mixed into the core circle of the Green Lin, and that Liu Xuan had to rely on him. Unexpectedly, he would abandon his son in the end.

"If I had known this, why should I have been there!"

Li Tong glared at his younger brother. After Liu Xuan and Lu Lin left, Wancheng was completely unable to defend. After the failure of the incident two years ago, the Li family was besieged by the new army and almost exterminated the clan. He didn't want to experience it again.

Li Tong also inquired about the quality of the Red Eyebrow and understood that this was definitely not a force that could be compatible with them.

The bad news is that the Li family may have to abandon their land and flee in panic.

The good news is that most of the people in the Li family in Wancheng were slaughtered by Wang Mang's Dayin and Dou Rong when they were in the anti-Xin period. Fifty-six people died, with only a few core members left, and a car could be pulled down.

"Brother, we are chasing you... Liu Xuan went south to Sui County?"

Li Tong recalled that last month, Liu Xuan sent King Dingtao from the Chongling royal family to Changsha to "paid ancestors". This time, he fled south, mostly through Sui County, and then ran to Jiangxia County with Lulin to cross the river to the hometown of Liu's family in Chongling in Jingnan.

But after this lesson, Li Tong never wanted to work with mediocre people like Liu Xuan again.

"No, head to the Minghe Sansai (Xinyang, Henan) southeast of Nanyang. Our cousin Li Song was ordered to bring 3,000 people to guard here to guard against the attack of the King of Huainan. My family happened to go there to take refuge."

The territory of the three sub-shes of Minghe is theoretically affiliated to Jiangxia County, but is now controlled by Green Forest, between Nanyang, Jianghan, Runan and Huainan, with mountains and rivers, which is quite dangerous.

The reason why he chose to take refuge was that in addition to having his own family hold military power, Li Tong still had expectations for that person.

Li Diyuan looked back at Wancheng and was reluctant to leave. What would have happened if he had not chosen Liu Xuan but Liu Bosheng's brothers?

"I didn't choose the right choice last time, but this time, Li Tong will never make any mistakes again!"

"Although the King of Wu is unwilling to come to Wancheng to take over the mess, with Uncle Liu Wen, his talent will sooner or later sweep over Huainan. At that time, the Three Passes of Minghe will become the outpost for counterattacking Nanyang and restoring his hometown!"

...

After Liu Xuan and the Li family in Wancheng fled south one after another, the "king troops" gathered north of the city wall also scattered, and the red eyebrows trampled on the flesh and blood corpses of the green forest and approached Wandu.

As one of the five capitals, Wancheng will be the largest city they entered in the past few years of their wars.

Wang Mang is now a celebrity around Fan Juren. He is worshipped as a "sacrificial wine" and is often called to consult.

He was an old priest, and Liu Gong, who was born in the King of Jing of Chengyang, was a young priest. After a series of exiles, the Red Eyebrow also began to absorb scholars. The old and the young were treated preferentially and each rode a mule.

When Liu Gong learned that Wancheng had gone down without fighting, he was quite disappointed with Gengshi.

"Liu Xuan actually ran away."

Once upon a time, as the first regime to shout the slogan of "restoring the Han Dynasty", the Green Han and Gengshi were once the expectations and beacons of the Liu family, but now this regime is in a state of stagnation and is tragically shared by various forces. The Red Eyebrow, who also started the business, gave it the last blow!

Now it seems that they are indeed the children and grandchildren of the Xiaohou family in Chongling, Changsha. The situation is small and they are destined to be unable to hold the throne!

Liu Gong was not optimistic about Liu Xuan's future, so he said to Wang Mang: "Wen Tian, ​​Wang Mang also abandoned the capital and fled, called "Nanshou", but in the end he died in Hanzhong and was awarded the title of "Southern Shou".

"I think Liu Xuan is the same as the old thief Wang Mang, and his life will be long!"

"Why are you glaring at me by Weng Tian? Is there something wrong with the disciple?"

Previously in Runan, Liu Gong was impressed by the knowledge of "Tian Weng" and insisted on taking him as his teacher, hoping to learn the Five Classics, but Tian Weng was not interested.

Liu Gong did not give up, and often ran errands in front of Weng Tian, ​​but he didn't know that he was so straightforward that this teacher would never be able to worship him again.

When someone compared him with Liu Xuan, Wang Mang could only bear the anger and couldn't say that he was still alive, so he cursed in his heart: "Little child is ignorant! Is this the same? Yu was betrayed by the fifth traitor and had to patrol the hunt, while Liu Xuan was incompetent and corrupted the good situation and ran away..."

When the green forest was in power, Wang Mang was quite afraid of Liu Bosheng and said that if he could cut off his head, he would be granted fifty thousand households and reward 100,000 kilograms of gold. As for Liu Xuan... only a thousand households, only a hundred kilograms of gold. Now that I think about it, Chen and Xiang are not prosperous, let alone such mediocre people?

But if we have to compare, it seems that when Wang Mang first became emperor, the situation was countless times better than Liu Xuan, and the time was more time than Liu Xuan, and the external environment was better than that of the green man. From this point of view, Liu Xuan's ability to defeat was still much worse than Wang Mang.

Those are things from the past. Wang Mang is now reborn and has found his new goal. He is also hiding in the pure "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" soldiers of Chimei. What he could not do in the past can now be implemented one by one with his own hands, and there is no longer any official or treacherous to stop him!

The Red Eyebrow van had already gone to accept Wancheng, and Fan Chong's large troops also arrived at the "Qushen City" twenty miles north of it to rest. This was a village, which was originally the last line of defense for the green forest, but now all of them escaped, and the food and armor and supplies here were all cheaper.

Wang Mang went to pay homage to Fan Chong with a dove stick. It was time. Before entering Wancheng and officially taking over Nanyang, Chimei... No, it was their Chihe regime that had to do two things first.

"Mr. Fan, there is an old saying that even though he has smart eyes like Li Lou, a skilled craftsman like the Gongshu class cannot be square or round without rules!"

"The Red Eyebrow switched from Mount Tai to several states, but he could not gain a foothold. The reason is that after arriving at one place, he failed to set up a good rule so that the locals knew what Red Eyebrow wanted."

Fan Chong respects this old priest who advocated the republic. Although the other party always speaks in a literary way and cannot grasp the key points, Fan Chong always feels that this old man can understand him better than Xu Xuan and other old brothers who are moving further and further away.

It is not a solution to be a bandit like this. Many people are tired. Fan Chong’s goal is to lead his 300,000 brothers and sisters to find a "Le Country" that can live a stable life, but he is unwilling to follow the old path of the green forest.

He did want to hear how Tian Weng planned for the Red Eyebrow, but he said with a stern face: "There were many scholars who advised me in the past, and the words he had made were not enough to deceive me. Lao Fan said ugly words today before, and Tian Weng had three things to do."

Fan Chong stretched out his index finger: "First, there is no need to say anything about treating the royal family of the Liu family. In the past two hundred years, those who have spread all over the states and counties, have already eaten enough. Now that we are under the rule of Red Eyebrow, we should be hungry! Whether it is the sect leader or the clan leader, the sect leader, the ancestral clan, the ancestors are marquis or kings, they all have to work in the prisoner camp!"

He stretched out his middle finger: "Second, there is no need to talk about treating the powerful. If you can open the fort and hand over all the grain, you can spare your lives. But if you refuse to surrender, you will force yourself to capture it!"

"Third..." Fan Chong touched the bearded man and laughed: "There is no need to worry about this. Weng Tian will never advise me to be king and emperor!"

Wang Mang, who always had a deep grudge, laughed happily at this moment, and Fan Chong's words were just right for his appetite!

I wish I had met too late, Wang Mang only felt that he and Fan Chong were really close friends! It was a pity...

But now it is time to build three generations together!

Wang Mang has regarded the remnants of the former Han Dynasty and the broken-hearted Haoyou as the reason for his failure in the past ten years of reform. In order to recreate the rule of the three generations, Wang Mang has firmly determined the goal of eliminating the remnants of the tyrannical Qin system, including the title of emperor and the entire imperial system!

"What Mr. Fan thinks is also what I think!"

Wang Mang said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the sage Guan Zhong once said that the way of kings begins with people-oriented."

The original words were originally "the origin of the overlord", but Wang Mang did not like the word "on" and so he only mentioned the kingly way.

"The first thing I want to say is about people!"

"I hope that after Duke Fan enters Wancheng, he will announce the first law of the post-Republic, that is..."

Wang Mang said the two words he wanted to do but kept covering up due to the current situation.

"Abolitionist!"
