The fifth relationship first settles Bashu, and moves along the current and advances along the water and land to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is an open plan, and his enemies naturally understand the benefits and disadvantages.

In March of the 12th year of Jianwu in the Han Dynasty (36 AD), Feng Yi, the general of the Western Expedition, arrived at the Wuhu Naval Army's village under the edict. At a military meeting that only a few people attended, he told Liu Xiuchen about the new situation in Jingzhou in the past six months.

"In the past, the Wei army lacked ships, and although there were thousands of martial cavalry groups, they had no use."

Feng Yi said heavily: "But as early as the fifth reunification, Cen Peng destroyed Shu, he built hundreds of warships. Now Gongsun has been destroyed, the fifth reunification can calmly use the manpower and material resources in Shu to increase the naval army. I think that if it is one year earlier, and if it is three years later, Wei will make a big move, and work together to all the people from Yizhou and Jingbei float down the river. Now, the water and land troops in Jingnan, plus the recruitment of new soldiers, will be only 30,000. Once the war begins, I am afraid that the border river will be in Xiakou and Changsha will be unable to control it."

"The same is true in Yangzhou."

Deng Yu continued: "Geng Bozhao built a giant ship at the point where the Huai River entered the sea. It is said that it can take more than a thousand people in a hundred and twenty steps. He builds a wooden city, builds steeples, opens doors on all sides, and rides on the boats with horses and gallops."

"There are many light boat crafts built in Chaohu, and now the number is almost up to the Wuhu boat craftsman."

What's even more terrible is that more than half a year ago, Liu Xiu dared to take a boat to spy on the Wei army's Chaohu Water Village and borrowed a full boat of arrows. But now the Han ship dares to get closer, and there is no need to reach the crossbow range, the Water Village will shoot out cannon stone shells without hesitation!

Deng Yu could imagine that if the artillery was installed on the Wei ship, the last little water advantage of the Han army would have disappeared!

Of course, Liu Xiu would not forget the devastating blow caused by the Wei artillery on the Danyang soldiers in Dangyang. His ace troops collapsed under the rumbling of cannons and the cavalry crushed.

He discussed with Feng Yi and Deng Yu all night, but the three of them performed ten deductions, and none of the Han army could win - even if they doubled the enemy warships and troop strength, the best idea would be the same.

Deng Yu was a little discouraged and threw the red warrior on the map, raising another layer of concern to Liu Xiu: "If you can fight to protect the country, I will never regret it even if I die. I am only worried. When the Wei soldiers really attacked, the people in Jiangdong were shocked and the soldiers were also afraid. They should not be rectified, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for a battle!"

With the destruction of the family, the Eastern Han Dynasty supported it alone, and surrenderism began to rise in the southeast. The four surnames of Wu Hui each had their own thoughts. Some time ago, several officials brought their families across the river to Wei. Even among the sailors controlled by Deng Yu, the number of deserters increased, and no one had confidence in the war.

Feng Yi was still thinking tiredly, thinking about the way to turn defeat into victory, but Liu Xiu stepped to the map, picked up the chess again, moved it from the Yangtze River, and went south!

"Look at the second minister, what if you use troops like this?"

Deng Yu and Feng Yi looked at him, but saw the small chess of the Han soldiers landing in Jiaozhou, Lingnan!

...

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Deng Yu once tended to set his capital in Jinling and ruled with Wei. Now that he even lost this opportunity, he was racking his brains to think about how to make the Han Dynasty last, and his eyes frequently turned to his own conquering Lingnan Jiaozhou.

"Since you will definitely lose the battle with the Fifth Reunion, what should you do to leave? At least you can protect the country."

But this matter is of great importance. Those who raised it first are easily criticized by thousands of people. Deng Yu dared not speak up easily. Unexpectedly, it was Liu Xiu who took the initiative to mention it. Deng Yu was overjoyed and immediately expressed his support.

"The Wei army crossed the river with 200,000 troops, Jiangdong and Jingnan are vast, and they must leave troops to guard all places, and their power is scattered; and Your Majesty abandoned the land and left people, and brought the military, civil and military to Jiaozhou south to gather the power of the enemy. In addition, most of the Wei army was northerners and did not accept the waters and soil in the south. If you cross mountains and rivers and fight with us at the five ridges, the chances of victory of the Han army will greatly increase!"

The tree is moved to death, and the person is moved to life. With this movement, the chess game that will surely be dead in front of the emperor and ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty actually has the possibility of continuing!

Deng Yu then realized that Liu Xiu appointed Zhu You as the governor of Jiaozhou last year and sent Zang Gong to conquer Luo people. It seemed that he was preparing for this.

Liu Xiu told his plan: "After repelling the Wei army's attack, Jiaozhou is small, and there are seven counties, thousands of miles east and west, and more than two million people can establish a country. The land is all fertile, and when it is plowed and woven, the fish and salt are abundant, the market benefits are easy to use."

After saying that, seeing Deng Yu was quite supportive, Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi again: "What do you think Gongsun think?"

Feng Yi did not support this plan. He said obscurely: "Jiaozhou is located in a remote corner of the sea, and is used to fight for the world, so the armor, soldiers, food and food are insufficient. If you use it to defend a corner, the mountains and rivers are blocked and there is no need to rely on it. During the Former Han Dynasty, King Zhao Tuo Zeng was here, but during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the Henghai Tower ship arrived with five weapons, and the Nanyue Kingdom was suddenly destroyed."

Deng Yu retorted: "Gongsun is biased. Zhao Tuo faced Emperor Gao and Xiaowen's two generations of heroic rulers, but he was able to survive alone. Empress Lü even proclaimed himself emperor, sent troops to attack Changsha border towns, and defeated several counties and left, but the Han Dynasty could not control it. It was passed down for five generations and lasted for a hundred years!"

Feng Yi ignored Deng Yu and only bowed to Liu Xiuchang, saying emotionally: "I was originally a Confucian scholar. When the military revolution began and was in chaos, heroes competed, but Feng Yi was not confused. Under Kunyang City, he believed that Your Majesty was the true emperor at first sight. Therefore, he followed him for more than ten years and was fully prepared among the army. He was appointed as a general, awarded titles and marquis, and was appointed as a special commissioner in Jingzhou. Feng Yi didn't care about these things. I only wanted to help Your Majesty restore the Han Dynasty!"

"Although the southeast is weak now, the front line of the river is not unbearable. I would rather die than protect the Han Dynasty. But Your Majesty wants to leave without fighting, give up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and go to Jiaozhou. Your Majesty is still the General Liu of Kunyang who is 'a brave and brave'? Will Your Majesty be willing to be a wise man and leave the twelve northern states to the fifth reunion?"

"Gongsun!" Deng Yu blamed Feng Yi for being rude, but Liu Xiu stopped him, helped Feng Yi up, sighed: "Since he proclaimed himself emperor, I have fought with the fifth family for more than ten times, and have been defeated repeatedly, and have been defeated repeatedly. The territory has become smaller and smaller, but I am not a pity to lose the city walls. I am only heartbroken that the generals and schools who follow me have lost most of them."

"In just ten years, I have lost Ma Wu, Lai Jun Shu, Liu Zhi, Qing Qi, Jia Fu, Ma Cheng, Li Tong, Jian Yan..."

Speaking of these dead Zhongliang, Liu Xiu's eyes were filled with tears. He held Feng Yi and Deng Yu's hand and said, "I don't want to let Gongsun, Zhonghua and the civil and military people die in vain!"

"It is better to retire and protect the country than to die in battle!"

Liu Xiu promised Feng Yi: "The reason for leaving Jiaozhou is to keep the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty immortal!"

"I will not sit in the middle of the old man in the Chongshan Mountains and the giants. If I have nothing to do, I can complete the obstacles, subdue the barbarians, accumulate grain and train soldiers. In time, I can get 100,000 armored soldiers. Even if the fifth reunion has launched 200,000 northern soldiers to attack, the road to the south is long, the heat and humidity in Lingnan is often caused by many diseases, and the northern soldiers are not yet bloody, and the deaths are often 203,000, and the soldiers are tired and have exhausted food. They will repeat the defeat of Tu Ju in the Qin Dynasty!"

"But the fifth relationship will destroy me and be quicker. If it doesn't work once, it will be conquered twice or three times!"

In Liu Xiu's plan, Wuling would become a millstone that would grind out the flesh and blood of the Wei soldiers, just like the Jucheng Battle during the Wang Mang period. By then, the Wei State would join the army, the elderly and the weak transferred their wages, the people would suffer, and the people would be in trouble, and the fugitives would be numerous. Under the Fifth Reign rule, internal and external disturbances would be caused, the people would be destroyed, and thieves would rise everywhere.

"Wei Ruo was repeatedly frustrated by the Five Ridges. Once there were many troubles in the north, such as the rebellion of prefectures and counties, the Qiang and Hu gangs in the border areas, and even the Fifth Reunion diseased..."

Liu Xiu can only count on his longevity, to survive the fifth family, and to teach his descendants a lesson. He sighed in his heart, but he said more and more excitedly: "At that time, the Han army can cross Hengpu to support Yuzhang, and go out of Huangxi to ask Jingnan. Skies in the east, and open boats and chariots from Ouyue; in the west, they use the bows and arrows of the sacred children. They can even build sea boats, raise sails, and instantly hit the Wuhui Jiangdu, and flaunt the Wei Huaizhu! It is impossible to do anything."

It seems that Liu Xiu has indeed made some plans, Feng Yi was persuaded and apologized in tears.

Even Feng Yi was unacceptable when he learned that Liu Xiu was going south to Jiaozhou. It can be imagined that if this matter spread, a great split would inevitably occur within the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu believed that most of his old subordinates would go with him, but what about the local soldiers of Jiangdong, Jingnan, Yuzhang, and Danyang? They might change their flags immediately and welcome the Wei army.

So the whole thing has to be carried out in secret. Liu Xiu has sent Zhu You and others to Jiaozhou. This major relocation will take a year or two to complete. At that time, Liu Xiu will go to Chongling County to worship his ancestors in the name of "Songling County" and conduct the practice of moving south.

Zhuang Ziling is right. The Han Dynasty is about to perish, and the wise and foolish know it, not today!

But he does not become a sacrificial cow or a lonely calf.

He wants to be the one who survives with his herd of cows!

Although he had made up his mind, Liu Xiu still felt a little disappointed after Feng Yi and Deng Yu left.

"If it were not forbidden, how could I give up the Jiangdong Wuhui, Yuzhang and Jingnan, and give the great mountains and rivers to the fifth reunion for free?"

But since the Battle of Dangyang, the ending has been destined and it is indeed impossible to reverse it by manpower. Even if there is no battle, how many differences will be made in the final result? When did Liu Xiu lose the possibility of winning the battle with the Fifth Reunion? Huaibei? Xiangyang? or earlier.

Perhaps in my heart, Liu Xiu has accepted the fact that he can't defeat the fifth relationship after all?

"No!"

Liu Xiu walked out of the camp and stood on the river embankment. In front of him was the rolling Yangtze River. He looked west, as if he was looking at the moon, and as if he was looking at his life's rival: the Fifth Reunion.

He will not give up, he will continue to fight this battle that has already been decided in the eyes of the fifth reunion.

As long as the scorching Han flag is still flying on a certain piece of land, as long as the Han country can continue its incense, he has not lost yet!

Liu Xiu's eyes became firmer and swore to Jiangshui:

"Liu Xiu can be defeated for a moment."

"But the big man."

"It won't die!"

...

In April of the 12th year of Wude, Di Lun had left Chengdu, entered Ba County to the east, and came to Jiangzhou City, which was later Chongqing City.

Jiangzhou City was built by Zhang Yi after he destroyed Ba during the Qin Dynasty. It was located in the eastern part of the Yuzhong Peninsula. The city wall was built along the mountain. The houses were stacked like steps. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was already a mountain city. It was facing the river three times. It was spring and summer, and the river water was rising and it was filled with view.

At this moment, the Fifth Lun is standing at the easternmost point of Jiangzhou City. The Yangtze River and the Jialing River meet at the sharp corners of the Yuzhong Peninsula and flow eastward. Two thousand years later, this place is called the "Chaotianmen Wharf", with sails standing and boats shuttled through.

You live at the end of the Yangtze River, and I live at the head of the Yangtze River. On the other side, Liu Xiu vowed to become the "enemy" of the fifth reunion; the fifth reunion was also staring at the Yangtze River, and he was still holding the nine-sized jade pendant that had been traveling back and forth between Liu Xiu and him several times, with deep eyes and thoughtfulness.

But he was not simply thinking about Liu Xiu, but thinking about something more profound.

The fifth reunion remembered what he said to the teacher in front of Yangxiong’s tomb ten months ago.

"Teacher, the war is over, but it is not completely over."

"But no matter how Liu Xiu struggles, whether he defends the river and resists stubbornly, or brings his civil and military confidants to escape south to Jiaozhou, it doesn't matter!"

As early as when Chengdu discussed the strategy of crossing the river, the king and minister of Wei made various predictions and even formulated a method of interception: Ma Yuan suggested that the Western Army in Yizhou could send a partial army from Ba County to Qianzhong and enter the Jingzhan, and then follow the "Gou Jiang" route of Emperor Wu of Han to attack Nanyue, and take the Jingzhan River to attack Lingnan!

He saw that Yun Ah Pian General who smuggled through Yinping Path, and he was very suitable for this task...

The fifth replies.

Back to today, the fifth reunion stared at the river and continued to whisper:

"Liu Xiu, no longer my opponent!"

This is not the pride and complacency of the winner, nor is it the dying struggle of looking down on Xiu'er. On the contrary, the fifth reunion has always respected Liu Xiu very much - and destruction is the greatest respect.

However, as the war is approaching, the Fifth Reun discovered that compared to the simple opponents who fight for the world, many terrifying and difficult "enemy" are showing their heads one by one!

No matter how powerful Liu Xiu is, he is just a personal person, with weaknesses and limits, but those new enemies...

They are not humans.
