The people of Chongling still remember that five years ago, Baishui Township was the center of the storm that anti-new righteousness was the center of the storm.

At that time, Liu Bosheng and Liu Wen's brothers were so heroic. Bosheng took the lead in the stage and raised his arms and shouted, calling on the people of Liu from Chongling to eliminate disasters, destroy Wudao, restore the cause of Emperor Gaozu, and set the autumn of all ages, restore the Han family and the country, and make the spirit more brilliant!

At that time, everyone in Chongling called Han soldiers, raised their spears and cheered for long live the Han Dynasty!

Now, the people gathered in the audience are almost the same: the slaves of the Liu family in Chongling were tenants from all over the countryside, or ordinary villagers. Many of them had participated in the Liu Xiu brothers' activities. However, the slogans shouted were no longer about the revival of the Han Dynasty, but were scolding the arrested Liu family.

Especially the scolding of the three local elders is the most touching:

"Five years ago, the Liu family raised troops. My eldest son always respected Liu Wenshu, saying that he wanted to follow Bosheng brothers to be a hero in the restoration of Han Dynasty. But in just a few months, he was killed in the defeat of Xiao Chang'an, so I personally went to collect his body."

As he spoke, tears had already touched his clothes: "Four years ago, Liu Bosheng took the remaining Chongling soldiers to Guanzhong, saying that he wanted to return the Han Dynasty to the old capital. My child also followed him, boasting that he would bring back a hundred kilograms of gold from Chang'an, but there was no news since then. Later, he found out that he died in the Wei River, and there were only 2,000 men who were with him, but few people returned it."

A whole generation of Chongling told the cause of Fu Han in this way, but what kind of reward did they get?

No, nothing! That's right, what's the benefit that Liu Bosheng and Liu Xiu promised when they raised an army? What's the matter with Emperor Guan Gengshi? At most, take care of the royal family of the same surname, but the other villagers in the village have shed blood and sweat for two years in vain, so naturally they are unwilling to accept it.

This remark aroused many echoes: "Liu Xuan was also a Chongling native. After becoming emperor, Lulin Qu Shuai and Liu clan members were mostly named princes, but they were rich and noble. But what about Chongling people who fought for the restoration of the Han Dynasty for several years? They didn't get any land and houses, and they broke their arms and were begging for food in Wancheng. They couldn't afford to ask for a job, but no one paid attention to them. The Chongling people who made the greatest contributions were forgotten in the countryside and died in a severe drought! This day is not as good as Xinmang!"

In addition to the chaos caused by the red eyebrows, the population of Chongling was reduced by half. The remaining people were afraid of hunger and only longed for stability, and they really didn't want to make trouble anymore.

Fortunately, Cen Peng's army was strict and a fellow villager in Nanyang, so the locals did not resist him. Finally, after half a year of stable life under the suppression of the Wei army, Liu from Chongling came back to encourage the matter and demanded that they rebel against Wei and welcome the Han...

What have you been doing long ago!

When Liu Xuan was in chaos, when the red eyebrows were rampant, and when the bandits were in trouble, Liu Xiu was in the southeast and never cared about the life or death of the people in his hometown. Now he remembered it?

Faced with the scolding of the villagers, the Liu family's children sent back by Liu Xiu were only confused.

Five years ago, in order to support them, the people of Chongling sent their children to join the army and gave out all the red cloth in their house. It was still not enough, and they even killed animals and splashed them with blood. When the sun was setting, the sky was as red as a elixir, and there were red flags underneath, and there were red oceans on and off the stage...

Five years later, on the same place, the same place was also red, but the color was much darker: Seven Liu's children were wearing ochre clothes and high ochre hats. And with the order of the county magistrate, they were cut off their heads under the executioner's butcher knife, and the blood flowed out dyed the land red, making it so rich that the red and black inside!

Faced with this bloody massacre, the people of Chongling were silent for a moment and were quite shocked. Even though they scolded, many people still respected Liu Bosheng and Liu Xiu, but can this idea be compared with living? Judging from the posture, the Liu family couldn't chat, so they should shrank their heads and be the people in the future.

And as the heads of the Liu family fell to the ground, it also played another role. Everyone who was afraid that the fields would be taken back were taken back, breathed a sigh of relief: "Chongling, no longer the surname is Liu."

For a moment, they cheered, perhaps because they felt the eyes of Wei officials and soldiers, and the rest of them joined in the shouting one after another. In a trance, it seemed as if they had returned to five years ago.

At that time, it was so similar at that moment.

Only by supervising the entire process and personally ordered the execution of the execution, Liu Gong, the magistrate of Chongling County, looked at the repetition of the people's hearts and only sighed at his younger brother Liu Penzi.

"This time, Liu Xiu was wrong to Chongling people."

"Human hearts have long stopped missing the Han Dynasty!"

...

In late January of the third year of Wude, when news of the Chongling rebellion in Sui County and was suppressed by thousands of garrisons reached the camp of General Zhennan, Cen Peng couldn't help but praise: "Great charity!"

But Cen Peng was still a little scared: "Before the war began, hundreds of people would be sent back to their hometowns and encourage those who were dissatisfied to carry out their affairs. If it could be done, Sui County and Chongling would definitely be corroded. The ulcer would spread northward. I would have to leave at least tens of thousands of people to rush to suppress it, and the enemy's goal of dividing our troops was achieved."

He admitted that Liu Xiu's move was indeed sinister, but unfortunately, the Wei army had a yin consciousness with a good understanding of Liu's family. He predicted that something might happen in the south. According to the Fifth Reunion's micro-movement, he sent people to conduct public opinion propaganda in Liu Xiu's hometown several months in advance, and put policies into place to restore stability to the people of Chongling.

More importantly, a month ago, the Embroidered Uniform Guard provided information, and Cen Pengcai quickly dispatched 20,000 to Sui County to provide assistance, and put out the flames before they burned.

Cen Peng couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu, the commander of the embroidered clothes who was sent by the fifth reunion to help the southern line: "Zi Li has made great contributions this time."

The only ones Zhang Yu disliked were Wu Han and Gai Yan. He cooperated with Cen Peng, a kind general who was very happy and smiled and said, "The real meritorious person is the 'insider' in the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

There were also mountains on Liu Xiu's side, which was definitely not a single piece, especially the Green Forest and Nanyang forces that later defected to each other, but they did not get much favorable points. Compared with the wealth and honor of the princes during the reign of Emperor Gengshi, there was naturally a gap in their hearts.

Therefore, even though the Wei army was already standing opposite the powerful in Nanyang, there were still some people in Liu Xiu's camp who were lucky enough to cooperate under the golden offensive of the Xiuyiwei and sent some information to the Xiuyiwei branch stationed in Nanyang every now and then.

But Zhang Yu was very secretive about who the insider was named and whose surname was. According to the rules set by the fifth reunion for the embroidered yarn guards, the spy was involved, and even the general Cen Peng could not know the specific situation.

Zhang Yu only told Cen Peng ambiguously: "This traitor is actually not at a high level and cannot be exposed to too secret matters. This time, he happened to be ordered to welcome Li Tong and Deng Chen, but his specific mission could not be said. I promised this person that as long as he continued to hand over the information, and when the Great Wei unified Jiangbei, his family's land and manor could be returned in full."

There are indeed many manors in Nanyang County, and the fields were collected as public property and not granted to locals. However, the families involved were too numerous to be distributed in more than a dozen counties, and Cen Peng could not guess who it was, so he smiled and skipped it and mentioned the important matter: "If Liu Xiu wanted to attack Sui County, Chongling, and return to Nanyang, there would not be only hundreds or thousands of people to cause trouble. It seems that the main force of the Han army was really as His Majesty was worried, and he wanted to follow the Han River and take Xiangyang straight along the Han River!"

The importance of Xiangyang, Cen Peng talked a lot about the correspondence between the letters and the Fifth Reun. There were also many capable people in Liu Xiu's camp. It should be seen that this place is related to the competition between the north and the south, and it is a must-win place!

"It's true." Zhang Yu mainly engaged in intelligence work. There were many fine works of the embroidered yarn guards in Jingzhou. In recent months, Feng Yi had gathered the Zhou army and the Lu army, moving from Hubei to Yunmengze, with signs of crossing north.

Cen Peng looked at the southern end of the map, and the narrow Han River flowed from Xiangyang to Yunmengze. Not to mention anything else, the Han army had been in the south for several years and recruited a large number of thieves in the rivers and lakes. The navy was indeed stronger. For them, the big rivers and lakes were not dangerous, but a smooth road to quickly transport troops.

"The main force of the Chu army is in the west and north, but there are not many on the banks of Yunmeng Lake and along the Han River. I'm afraid it can't stop Feng Yi."

Sufficient intelligence work made the war situation in Cen Peng's eyes clearer: "If Feng Yizhen decides to take Xiangyang, it is difficult to encounter a strong enemy in the meantime. The biggest obstacle is the five hundred miles of the road in the middle..."

"And Xinye reaches Xiangyang for only two hundred miles."

Cen Peng guessed: "Liu Xiu, Feng Yiwei asked me to come later, so he could only set up more obstacles. Now, the Chongling Rebellion in Suixian County has not started. I think that the next step for those who want to lobby Deng Feng in Deng County and try their best to stop me!"

"That's right!" Zhang Yu said: "It is reported that Liu Xiu sent Li Tong and Deng Chen came to the west. Now Li Tong has appeared and Deng Chen is set in Deng County!"

Among the Northern Army of King Li of Chu, Deng Feng had five or six thousand powerful armed forces stationed in Deng County, forty miles north of Xiangyang.

As the throat between Wan and Xiang, Deng County is dangerous because the forests are too dense there.

"It is said that Kuafu chased the sun and finally fell out of strength. He abandoned his staff and was soaked in the flesh and gave birth to Deng Lin..."

The three hundred miles of Denglin completely covered the north bank of the Han River, including many ancient trees that were more than a thousand years old. They were not cut off from the Chu State to the Han Dynasty, and only a few paths were drawn, hindering the marching of the large army. In addition, Deng County was backed by the Han River, and it was only apart from Xiangyang, looking at each other.

In later generations, this place had another name: Fancheng.

Therefore, if the Wei army wanted to capture Xiang, they would definitely defeat Deng first!

"Deng Feng was unwilling to surrender to Wei. If he listened to his uncle's advice and decided to help the Han Dynasty, it would be even more difficult to fight Deng County."

Cen Peng smiled and said, "It seems that I am closer, but the danger of Xiang Deng Han River alone is enough to offset the advantage of distance."

Zhang Yu proposed: "The general sent someone to slander the general of Shu Jia Fu, which has been effective. Although Gongsun Shu did not remove his post and appointed him as his general, he still sent his confidants to monitor Jia Fu."

"We can use the same trick again. Now King Li of Chu is attacked from both sides and is suspicious. Although Deng Feng cut off the ears of the envoy of Wei to win the trust of King Li of Chu, his ability to reject Wei does not mean that he will not surrender to the Han Dynasty! If someone spreads news, he secretly communicates with Liu Xiu and Deng Chen, those kings and ministers will be suspicious of each other!"

"You can let go." Cen Peng agreed to Zhang Yu, but said again: "But these tricks are like Liu Xiu sending envoys to disrupt my rear. They are strange soldiers. They may not work every time. The real victory or defeat should be consistent!"

Cen Peng then issued a general order: "Except for the soldiers left behind in Wancheng and Sui County, the remaining 40,000 will be dispatched to the camp and followed me to go south!"

It seems that this is a hunting competition, with the prey in Xiangyang City, and Cen Peng and Feng Yi are two hunters who are preparing for horses and soldiers. They are divided into north and south to see who can overcome the obstacles and be the first to win.

But in Cen Peng's opinion, things are not that simple.

"Xiangyang is important, like a big elk."

"But the hunter's arrow can not only shoot at deer, but also at people!"

Cen Peng set a goal that was different from the original idea of ​​the Fifth Reunification:

"My real prey is Feng Yi!"
Chapter completed!
