At almost the same time, in Yongcheng, Guanzhong, the former general Wan Xiu, who was left behind in Guanzhong, was telling the fifth replies and advances of all fronts in recent days.

"The General of the Cavalry defeated the first Ling Qiang, and then the Jincheng of Hehuang was roughly settled; in the Hexi area, the later general Wu Ziyan also recovered Wuwei and confronted Zhangye and Jiuquan at Zhangye. The key is whether Juyansai can be regained; in Bingzhou, the General of the Cheqi and Cavalry led his army to Xinqinzhong. If the Xiongnu royal court and Lu Fang went south to harass him, he could take the opportunity to fight back."

Wan Xiu paused and looked at Feng Yan who had recovered his confidence: "In addition to the great move, the Di people in Wudu rebelled against Shu, and Wei Xiang was unable to protect himself from the enemy. Hanzhong and Nanjun, the two Shu troops in Nanjun were all surrendered generals and refused to do their best for Gongsun Shu, and the situation was slightly stable."

He only pointed out what he was most worried about: "The only variable is Liu Xiu from the south."

Cen Peng was in charge on the Jingxiang front, and even if Feng Yi's troops of the Han army came to attack, it would be fine. However, Geng Chun, who was not very good at fighting in Huaibei, stayed behind. If Liu Xiu personally attacked the northern expedition, the victory or defeat would be unpredictable if the court had not been able to draw a large army for a long time.

The fifth reunion is very sure: "Huaibei really needs to be well prepared, but there are internal troubles in the southeast. Liu Xiu had a 50% chance of not sending troops for the time being."

"If I could receive my letters, I'm afraid it would be 70%!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, not only Wan Xiu, but even Feng Yan became curious, wanting to know what the letter sent several months ago wrote?

"If this matter can be accomplished, Your Majesty is equivalent to pulling the city between the sacrificial pedestal and folding the mat, which is enough to be recorded in history and praised by the world. If you don't know the content of the letter, is it convenient for people to know?"

"This letter is to be known to all scholars in the world, so that it can achieve greater results." Now, the time-calculation letter should be sent, and the fifth reunion does not need to be concealed, so he took out the copy of the letter and let Wan Xiu and Feng Yan check it out first.

However, the letter did not add the long and noble titles of the two emperors, but was completely a correspondence in a private identity. The fifth reunion called himself "Changling Wulun" and called Liu Xiu "my friend Uncle Wen".

At first, I was still a personal reminiscence, but the topic changed later: "I have destroyed two or three countries that call the Han family. The so-called "Western Han" colluded with Qiang and the "Northern Han" was actually a different surname, and the "Hu Han" was even more mixed with Hu puppets, relying on the Huns, and still jumping into the Liang Dynasty. All of these are only the names of Han, but no Han soul!"

These regimes are the enemies of the fifth reunion and the "heretic" in Liu Xiu's eyes. After finding the commonality between the two, the fifth reunion chatted with Liu Xiu in the letter, the "Han Soul" he understood.

"The Han inherited the evils of hundreds of kings. Emperor Gao of Han destroyed Qin and Chu, and quarreled the chaos and reorganized them. As for Wen and Jing, the people were responsible for fostering the people and making peace in the world. Han Wu recruited all the virtuous men and women in the world, and cooperated with the cooperation to develop the system, correct the truth, change the clothes and colors, establish the sacrifices of heaven and earth. Later, there was a Zhaoxuan rule, and the elderly in the village still praised and missed them."

"Although the Han Dynasty has many bad policies, it is understandable that many kings and domineering in the past dynasties are mixed. However, those who have forged the souls of the Han Dynasty have been "respecting the king" and "repelling the barbarians"!"

"Xiaowu was the accumulation of the remaining wealth and treasury, and then he wanted to expel the barbarians from outside. He then went east to Wuhuan and ravaged the Wuhuan; built a protection of the Western Qiang, beat Di and Wu; south to the Dian Kingdom, and attacked Minyue; south to the county and county, floating Zhuya; southeast to the Ministry of Justice, and also had Huangzhi; so all the countries with the same holes and the same sky as the Sichuan and the nose drank, all bowed their heads and lost their anger and trapped their enemies."

This is the first writing in the court, Du Du, who wrote the style at a glance. Feng Yan could tell his lips secretly, with both the little jealousy of the fifth trust of this person and the conceit of "I must be better than him".

Then there is a long passage of plagiarizing Yang Xiong's article "Sent a letter to advise against Shanyu" - Can disciples copy the teacher's article be called copying? It is called tribute!

Anyway, the relationship between the Central Plains and the Huns has been recorded in various ways since the Zhou and Qin Dynasty. Since the humiliation of Bai Deng at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, his brother served the Huns and lost power and humiliation. Although Han Wu avenged his ninth generation of revenge, he went deep into the Huns, split the royal court, swept the north of the Mo, kowtowed Qilian, divided the Shanyu, and slaughtered the hundred barbarians. The Huns were terrified and fled far north, but they were still unwilling to surrender and were unwilling to surrender. Until Emperor Xuan of Han, they finally forced the Shanyu to come to the court. The Beidi Kingdom, which was unable to be ministered by the five emperors and the three kings, finally lowered their stubborn heads.

The fifth guy, this guy, copied it back, but he did it well. The whole article was very consistent.

He was not proud, but only sighed to the two ministers: "When Du Du, Fu Long and others participated in the civil service examination, the articles they wrote were 'The Han family's energy was exhausted'. Many people talked about the chaos in the previous and late Han dynasties. They only saw the blackness, but not the whiteness, and were not comprehensive enough..."

Feng Yan complained again: Who dared to say good things about the Han Dynasty on the test paper? Do you don’t want to pass the exam and become an official? Maybe the court’s hawks were targeted by the court’s hawks as soon as they left the exam room. After all, the fifth reunion is a ruthless master. When he first entered Chang'an, he sent dozens of former Han Han to meet Liu Bang...

Whether it is "subjective" or "objective", the fifth relationship depends entirely on one's own needs. He can unveil the curtain of history, publicize the "darkness" of a certain period to the world, and can also paint and slap the same thing, praise and sigh.

He is such a natural power scheming! Since Feng Yan's enlightenment, he dared not regard his boss as a mean person. This is the smartest person in the world, no wonder he can accomplish great things.

Wu Lun was very thick-skinned and still said arrogantly: "And this letter is the final conclusion to the former Han Dynasty for its praiseworthy points!"

He recited: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Southern Barbarians and Northern Di are intersecting, and China is as endless as a line. Duke Huan saved China and expelled the barbarians, and this is the king's business. Confucius also called: "Min Guan Zhong, my hair is covered with a left lace!"

"The former Han fought against the Huns for a hundred years, and finally achieved success. He deprived the distant territory and set up more than ten counties. Their achievements in expelling the barbarians were ten times that of Qi Huan and Guan Zhong! In this way, the continuous war fires tempered the Xia turtle iron, melted into one, and forged the Han soul."

"So, what is the soul of Han?"

After reading this letter, even Wan Xiu was a little excited and couldn't help but recite it...

"The soul of Han will violate the powerful Han Dynasty and will be punished even if it is far away! Anything that the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, are all Han territory!"

...

It was not only Wan Xiu who was excited. When Liu Xiu, who was on the boat in Pengli Zelou, was also flirted with the fifth reunion rhetoric, which made him feel that "no one understands the great man better than the fifth reunion."

"I deeply believe that the fifth replies are saying this. The Shanyu defended the foreign countries, and the hundreds of barbarians obeyed, and the barbarians were not as good as the achievements of expelling the barbarians."

"Who can achieve success without the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of Yongdi in the world and obtaining the skills of controlling the outside and the inside, so who can achieve success? Xiaowu and Xiaoxuan are really the three kings of Taoism, and the five emperors are more successful!"

These two are indeed Liu Xiu's idols and targets. What's ridiculous is that none of his friends and ministers can fully understand this. In the end, it was the enemy who said what he said in his heart. Liu Xiu didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful, but for a moment he felt that the tower ship was shaking very hard.

However, after a rare praise for the Han Dynasty's achievements in expelling the barbarians, the last part of this letter was not so pleasant.

It turned out that the Fifth Reun actually shamelessly declared that the Great Wei, as the new central dynasty, had inherited the destiny of heaven, and should be mixed together, and picked up the "Han soul" since Han Wu, and exercised the mission of the Lord of Xia, and continued to respect the king and expel the barbarians. Therefore, he wanted to quell the rebellion of Qiang and Hu, and to control the Xiongnu Shanyu outside the Great Wall. As for the Cheng family Gongsun Shu who colluded with him, he was like a "traitor" of the Xia. The Fifth Reun announced that he was expelled from Xia!

Finally, he asked Liu Xiu another sharp question: "Uncle Wen called himself the Emperor of Han, but recently he was rumored that he wanted to attack the Central Plains with the Xiongnu, and Lu Fang from north to south, but he didn't know that your "Eastern Han" still had a trace of the Han family's soul?"

The picture is revealed, and a difficult question is placed in front of Liu Xiu: How correct your ancestors were in expelling the barbarians. If you send troops now, the so-called "orthodox Han Dynasty" will be defeated without any attack. There is no difference between you, Liu Xiu and Lu Fang, the pseudo-emperor.

Deng Yu also reacted: "Indeed, this battle is different from the previous battles in Jingxiang and Huaibei, and involves the dispute between the barbarians and Xia. Although Wei and Han were enemy countries, they all compete for Chinese orthodoxism. The ancients said that the descendants did not plan for Xia, and the barbarians did not disrupt China, and they should not act lightly, and should be justified by the fifth ethics."

The view of General Yangwu Ma Cheng is completely opposite to Deng Yu: "Zhongzi read too much and was confused, and jumped into the shackles set up by the fifth reunion! If he did not move his troops, he sat down and watched the fifth reunion repel the Qiang, Hu and Shu soldiers, which would be a treacherous plan!"

Ma Cheng used to be a county official, and his cultural level was not very high, but he explained the fifth trick: "Your Majesty, the fifth he sent a small master to sneak into the south and encouraged Shanyue to rebel against Han and cause rebellion. Why didn't he think about 'the descendants' not Xia'? Qiang and Hu were going to rebel, was Shanyue not a barbarian?"

It's right! The fifth reunion is a big double standard, but why doesn't Liu Xiu know such a simple truth?

Although he read "Shangshu" when he was in the Imperial Academy, as an emperor who likes Confucianism, Liu Xiu also studied the Spring and Autumn Period and said with emotion: "It is an excellent banner to promote generals of martial arts and respect the king and expel the barbarians. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi fought with Guan Zhong, and then joined the princes to help the world. The Jin State, which inherited its hegemony, was also used many times."

"However, the state of Jin said, 'These Xias are intimate, and they cannot be abandoned'. As early as the time of Duke Xian of Jin, they had already merged the 17th country and subdued the 38th country. They destroyed the Yu, Guo and other countries, not only the Xia, but also the same surname. The people of Jin destroyed their country and did not have any mercy when they annexed the territory. As for Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Dao of Jin was domineering, and he respected the king and expelled the barbarians, and also took the opportunity to destroy the country with more than 15, including many Xia and the same surname."

So Liu Xiu understood it and suddenly realized it! The "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" that Confucian scholars talked about seemed to be a brilliant righteousness, but in fact, it is also a business!

Qi Huan and Jin Wen are not just heroes. They are shrewd politicians who use this to call on the world to point out a common enemy, or demote the enemy country to "Rong Di". For example, Qi rebuked the gradually civilized Chu State as a barbarian. Once the honeymoon period with Qin State passed, Jin accused Qin of the Western Rong, and even more willing to join forces with the barbaric Wu and Yue to give them the identity of "Zhu Xia" to attack those who are both Xia.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he also relied on "extinguishing the barbarians" to unify the internal thoughts of trouble, making Huainan kings and others who opposed this matter ridiculously advocated.

This is really a good business! Liu Xiu is greedy.

The only regret is that the banner of expelling the barbarians has long been called to start a war with the Huns, threatening to defend the fifth relationship of the Central Plains. Whoever holds it will be politically correct.

"This is an open conspiracy." Liu Xiu said helplessly: "If the Chinese and foreigners take the initiative to write to me and act according to their past, they will definitely promote it and gain the advantage. If the Han Dynasty sends troops, it will fall into its trap. The soldiers and people in the northern states will suffer from severe pain when they are invaded by the Qiang and Hu. They must think that the Han Dynasty is like Gongsun Shu, and helps Rongdi to abuse the Central Plains, and the scholars in the southern part will also be disgusted."

"What's more, it is absolutely impossible to follow the Gongsun Shu alliance and let the Han Dynasty live in the Central Plains together with Lu Fang."

Although the world is big, it can't stand two Han people. Liu Xiu cannot join Lu Fang, not only because of the pride of the "Han soul" in his heart, but also because of his shame.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Deng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether it is based on reality or considering this open trap, the great man should not get involved in this muddy water.

Ma Cheng was quite sorry: "Then let's sit there for nothing and watch the north fight against troops, let the fifth reunion defeat all sides and turn the danger into safety?"

Deng Yu gave an idea: "Your Majesty can refuse to agree or refuse. He just pretended to convene the three armies and gather in Huainan and Jiangxia to restrain the Wei army. Let the family be established, the Western Qiang and Wei Kingdom slowly consumed. Moreover, the Han Wu killed Hu, which took a full 40 years to fail. The Han proclaimed the Huns and the five armies returned without success. Now the Huns are back, and they are stronger than Huhanye. The pseudo-Wei only get half of the world, and there are too many distractions. As long as the Fifth Reunion and the Huns and the Shanyu go to war in full, the beacons in the north will burn for ten years, twenty years or even thirty years! The Han can just rest and recuperate."

Liu Xiu agreed that this was a kind of cooperation without joining forces, which was much more wise than Gongsun Shu's open alliance with the Huns.

He instructed Ma Chengdao: "The flag of honoring the king and expelling the barbarians cannot only give the fifth reunion benefits. When the Shanyue period is cleared, the county magistrates and generals will also take the name of expelling the barbarians, so that the world can know that I inherited the martial arts and proclaimed the Han souls, and also expelled the barbarians."

After Ma Cheng responded to the promise, Liu Xiu asked Deng Yu to approach him and whispered to him: "Zhongzi, although I am willing to rest, I cannot stand firm and wait for the distance, sit and die."

"Since the northern expedition is not yet available, the troops along the river can be drawn to 10,000 people southward. You have previously suggested that you advance troops from land and sea to conquer the Jiaozhou Governor's Department and eliminate the troubles behind the Han Dynasty, and implement the strategy of implementing it!"
