"Please give Fan Xijun a tile."

Compared to Wang Mang's words about Fan Gong, Zhu Di usually calls him Fan Chong, so he does not lose his identity as an official in the court, and can maintain the minimum respect for this enemy who once shocked the world.

As far as Brother Zhu saw, the fifth reunion must have admired Fan Chong, otherwise he would not have been left for so long. His Majesty the Emperor would never be lenient when he killed someone. From the former Han Dynasty to the powerful in Weibei, as long as he threatens his rule, he will be a knife to fall!

Those who were once enemies but could survive, Fan Chong, Wang Mang, and Old Liu Xin, who was said to have arrived in Chang'an, all have some reason.

Zhu took his own center and pointed to the left and right sides and said: "If you vote for the right, you will support Wang Mang to die. If you vote for the left, you will support Wang Mang to live."

The simple choice of two is one, no matter how complicated it is, the game that makes the fifth reunion lively is no longer able to operate.

Fan Chong sat in the cage, looked at the small tiles in his hand, and frowned.

In his opinion, the fifth reunion was purely a copy of the Red Eyebrow convention, and the Red Eyebrow Army liked to use this method to decide life and death. After Fan Chong captured Dong Xian, he supported him to survive when he was investing in the twelve hours.

But today's tiles seem to be heavier than that day.

He asked himself with pursed his heart that the reason why Fan Chong suffered such a great humiliation and continued to live was that he had thoughts in his heart - he wanted to see Wang Mang, who had caused his family to be destroyed, and he would die!

But when Fan Chong wanted to throw the tiles to the right, he stopped again.

What he remembered was not only the troubles of Wang Mang to the common people during his reign, but also the evil he did to them directly or indirectly, but also the dark candlelight in Wancheng, Nanyang. Under the dim candlelight, Tian Weng drooped his eyelids, endured his sleepiness, told himself about the "Playland" and planned the future scenes for the Red Eyebrow.

To a certain extent, Fan Chong respected "Weng Tian" as his teacher.

But it is absolutely impossible to let him let Wang Mang go. That means forgiveness and betrayal of the original intention of the Red Eyebrow's rebellion!

Now that these two shadows overlap together, how can we not make people feel irritable and difficult to make a choice?

Furthermore, Fan Chong only felt that no matter how he chose, he would become his helper to humiliate and torture Wang Mang under the control of the fifth reunion.

Seeing this, Zhu Di remembered that on the day when he learned that Wang Mang was still alive, the fifth reunion had similar hesitation. The emperor could have released the news that it was too easy to kill Wang Mang by the fake Red Eyebrow Army or other people. But His Majesty the Emperor had been struggling with this all night and finally decided to use a more complex and longer way to judge Wang Mang's life.

The crisp sound brought Zhu Di back from the memory. Fan Chong had already thrown the tile, but threw it hard at Zhu Di's feet. He himself put his hands on his chest and looked at Zhu Di provocatively in an uncooperative attitude.

Brother Zhu smiled, but this was within His Majesty's expectations.

He announced the results loudly.

"Fan Xijun, abstain!"

...

The news of Fan Chong abstaining from power made Wang Mang feel relieved. Look at this old man, his hands that pretended to read classics became much lighter.

But Fan Chong was imprisoned and could no longer control the Red Eyebrow captives. His abstention was just a knife that could poke Wang Mang's heart, and he was missing.

While the Wei army maintained order, the Red Eyebrow prisoners who were scattered in Chenliu County and Jiyin County successively held referendums. This was what they often did, and they were quite skilled in throwing tiles.

The final result is not much different from what the fifth relationship expected.

"Fifty percent of the Red Eyebrow captives choose to hope that Wang Weng will die."

Wu Lun Xiao announced the news to Wang Mang with interest:

"Thirty percent of the people refused to vote, and I don't know if they had a confrontation with this dynasty or whether it was difficult to make a decision."

"What's interesting is that 20% of the people chose to let Wang Weng survive. According to the verification by the Embroidered Commander, most of them had dealt with Ru in Nanyang or Huaiyang, or were assigned to land and land under the leadership of Ru."

Wang Mang finally raised his head. What was his emotion in his eyes? Relieve? Happy? At least 20% of the Red Eyebrow captives, nearly 20,000, had the love and respect for Tian Weng in his heart, overwhelmed his dislike and hatred for Wang Mang. He had not been in vain for two years in the Red Eyebrow Army.

But the fifth reunion said: "However, since the Red Eyebrow is a prisoner, it naturally cannot be equated with the soldiers and civilians. It can only be considered half a person, each with half a vote. These 20,000 people are only equivalent to ten thousand votes..."

Good guy, he cut Wang Mang's votes half, making Wang Mang's hope of "surviving" even more slim. However, Wang Mang was not surprised by the shamelessness of the fifth reunion and sneered: "The power lies with you. Even if you throw red eyebrows that hope that you can live, you can't count them all, and I am not surprised."

Wu Lun sneered: "Was Wang Weng so disgusted? I have sent officials to Yuancheng, Wei County, and Xindu County, Nanyang, which had just joined Wei, to preside over the locals to join the tile. Yuancheng is Wang Weng's hometown and the ancestral tomb, and is exempt from taxes all year round."

"However, Xindu just suffered great chaos, and the people were in exile and scattered, and it was difficult to gather for a while. The bandits were still rampant and it was difficult to vote for the referendum. They could only go to Wugong County, Youfufeng. Wugong is the same as Xindu. It is the fief of Wang Weng, once known as "Xinguangyi". Baishi Xiangrui came out, and the tax exemption benefits even more."

"Will the people of Yuancheng, the martial arts masters think of the old kindness and the benefits Wang Weng gave back then, and show mercy?"

Wang Mang was silent. After changing the past, he must be sure that the people of these two places were loyal to him.

But when Wu Lun raised his army and Wang Mang ran away, he wanted to take refuge in Wugong, but unexpectedly, the local wall fell and pushed everyone, which was simply ungrateful.

As for Yuancheng, Wang Mang once did not agree to the water management plan to restore the old river road in order to protect his ancestral tomb. More than a dozen counties in Guandong actually suffered a disaster for Yuancheng. Should we remember some old feelings? But Wei County is also the base camp of the fifth reunion, and now it has become the "Beijing". If the fifth reunion wants him to die, will the people in Yuancheng dare to disobey?

At some point, Wang Mang, who had been convinced that "the people's hearts are given", lost his confidence. After walking among the people, he realized that when he thought he was good at the world, he was hated so much. He had become the emperor with the worst reputation since the Han Dynasty...

In Yuancheng, martial arts are still like this, and the population is larger. What will happen to Chang'an, which was the most affected by the five equalization system and currency modification? Wang Mang didn't dare to think about it at all. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more desperate it became - he was not afraid of death, but he also secretly hoped that his actions would be understood by the people of the world.

But the fifth reunion often puts the cruel truth in front of him, making Wang Mang unable to sleep in the saint's dream. Is this his purpose?

So Wang Mang continued to stubbornly say, "If you rebel ministers manipulate public opinion, you will be killed. What's the point of death? No matter whether you are the king or in the wild, I will not be able to bring peace to the world. Since this is the case, I can only be martyred!"

The fifth lun laughed: "This is what Mencius said? Well, if the world is politically clear, we will work hard to realize morality and sacrifice ourselves; if the world is politically dark, we would rather sacrifice ourselves to uphold morality and never do anything."

"But Mr. Wang, there seems to be another sentence behind this."

The fifth reunion said solemnly: "My deeds exist between heaven and earth. You will never sacrifice your way to accommodate someone. Wang Weng thought that moral deeds himself, and death will lead to the death of human moral deeds. He would take himself too seriously!"

"You!" Wang Mang was so angry that smoked from his orifices, and slapped his desk, but was forced to sit down again by the momentum of the fifth reunion.

But when he saw the fifth reunion, he smiled and said, "There is normal in heaven. If it is governed, it will be good. If it is chaos, it will be bad. This time, when you go west to Luoyang and Chang'an, Wang Weng should open your eyes wide. It is strange that after leaving Wang Weng, you will become better and more moral in your hands!"

After two sentences exposed the old man's self-motivation, the fifth reunion told Wang Mang, who was still thinking about how to refute it, for good news.

"You can't just spend the referendum."

"Those witnesses who have experienced the Mang Dynasty and have something to say should still be present in turn."

Speaking of this, the fifth reunion's tone was no longer aggressive, and he calmed down and said, "This witness is Liu Xin."

Hearing this name, Wang Mang was stunned. The fifth relationship, the fifth relationship, and every step was on his pain point!

"Liu Xin did not follow Wei Xiang and Ruziying into Shu, but rushed from Liangzhou to Chang'an. He thought he had something to say to me, but he was afraid that he would not be able to wait, so he dragged his sick body to the east and arrived in Luoyang now."

"What you make friends with must be comrades. Liu Zijun is an old friend of Wang Weng and a comrade in the reform, but he finally made enemies and broke up. No one in this world knows the inside story of Wang Weng's reform better than him. In addition, his literary talent is extraordinary, and he can provide detailed and appropriate testimony and must meet him."

"But we have to hurry up."

Wu Lun held his hands behind his back and glanced at Wang Mang and said, "The news from Luoyang said that after Liu Xin arrived, he could not get sick and could not hold on."

...

From last spring to this year, there were two major battles between Longyou and Heji. More than 100,000 troops were transferred to several states, and hundreds of thousands of people were transferred to the public. The food was basically stored, especially in the Central Plains. The red eyebrows and green forests were repeatedly tortured, and the wealthy places in the past became uninhabited. The Wei army could not afford to obtain supplies locally, and all had to be transported from the rear.

As a result, the pace of war began to slow down. In the first half of this year, the strategy formulated by the Fifth Reunion for the generals and the ministers was to control Yanzhou and Yuzhou counties in an orderly manner. None of them were found to wipe out bandits and the remnants of Chimei, and to resume production in the military farms and the progress towards Qingzhou in the east and Xuzhou in the southeast might be after the autumn grain matured.

This means that in nearly half a year, there will be no longer large-scale military operations in the East. The fifth reunion then set off west with his personal guards, Wang Mang and Fan Chong, the two "trophies".

At the same time, Xu Xuan, with tens of thousands of remnants of Red Eyebrows, had already abandoned Suiyang, Liang County, and went east to Fengpei, Liu Bang's hometown, to prepare to meet with Xuzhou Red Eyebrows.

The Red Eyebrow Army won all the battles in the past so that its power could expand like a snowball. Now, once it was defeated, Fan Chong, the backbone, was captured, and his backbone was broken and began to break. Xu Xuan's troops were actually getting fewer and fewer. Many Red Eyebrow soldiers were unwilling to continue to be bandits, and often settled in various counties, occupied the mountains and became thieves, and completely gave up their ideals.

When we arrived in Feng County, we counted the number of people and ran away for half of the time.

Fengxian County is also in decline. Not to mention the common people, there are not even a few powerful people left. After building the fort, they found that they were too thin and could not torture food. The Red Eyebrow Army could only dig wild vegetables and peel the bark to maintain it. The cannibalism happens from time to time and cannot control it at all.

Seeing that the soldiers were tilted and had completely lost their former spirit, Xu Xuan was anxious. If the Fifth Reun sent cavalry to chase him here, thousands of cavalry would be defeated!

The good thing is that during this rest, the messenger sent to the East rewarded great news!

"A few days ago, the three Duke Feng'an fought with King Liu Xiu of Wu in Pengcheng, and the Red Eyebrows won a great victory and chased the enemy for a hundred miles!"

This incident made Xu Xuan quite excited. The three ministers Feng'an deserved to be the second most capable person in the Red Eyebrow Army to fight. If this is the case, the remaining Red Eyebrows will still gain a foothold in the Lianghuai River. Although rice and rice are not in their appetite, they are still a hundred times better than eating each other!

That's not all. When Xu Xuan finally convinced everyone and arrived in Pei County to the east, he heard even more exaggerated rumors.

"It is said that even Liu Xiu himself has been beheaded by Feng Gong!"
