215. Civil and military gatherings

King Yancen of Wu'an failed to make a decision and died on the spot. Mr. Zhugong Li Bao was not much better.

Early in the morning, he gathered his troops and was ready to respond to Yan Cen. He had just left the camp with his team, but saw that there were all people outside the camp. Zhuge Zhi took the lead and asked, "Marquis Zhugong, where are you going? Are you going to find King Hanzhong or King Wu'an?"

Li Bao knew that the matter was leaked, and he roared and rushed towards Zhuge Zhi with a knife. He was stabbed by Zhuge Zhi with a spear. The soldiers of the guard camp rushed forward and surrounded his gangs. After a while, they cleaned up.

The conspiracy between Yancen and Li Bao was easily shattered by the emperor. Ma Yuan was puzzled and didn't know how the emperor could see through the conspiracy between the two. The emperor fooled, "Someone in the dream will repay me!"

In fact, the little emperor knew very well about these two people. Yan Cen liked gambling the most, liked to make big, bold, and took risks. Li Bao was arrogant and disobedient. In real history, Li Bao first played fake surrender, and then contacted Yan Cen. The two of them played the role of the disabled. Later, Li Bao surrendered Deng Yu and was killed by Deng Yu for his arrogant and rudeness. The most timid among the three was Liu Jia. The little emperor wanted to give him a way out and let him be a companion with Liu Xuan, but unfortunately he was unknown. He was rebelled by Yan Cen repeatedly, and accepted his surrender repeatedly, and was eventually harmed by him.

Given that Yan Cen and Li Bao were good at making fake surrenders, the emperor had originally suspected that they were going to engage in any conspiracy. Later, he heard that Liu Jia refused to surrender and was killed by Yan Cen, and Liu Yu felt something was wrong.

According to Liu Jia's temperament, when he reached this point, he must have surrendered directly. Yan Cen was willing to surrender, but Liu Jia refused to surrender. This would be a big deal if there were no ghosts.

The emperor could only use his dream to cover up the fact that he was a prophet, pretending to be mysterious, fooling the ancients, and adding some material to future historical books.

In this great victory, the entire army was very happy. Wang Meng restored his position as a lieutenant with his merits to protect the central army and defeat the main force of the enemy. Mu Hong was promoted to a lieutenant with his merits to protect the emperor, and the rest of them also received rewards.

The general of the Western Expedition came to Yong County. When he saw the emperor, he bowed to the ground and apologized repeatedly. He left Chang'an because he suspected the emperor, but when he was in a desperate situation, the little emperor ignored his past grudges and led his army to rescue him. Yong'an was a person with clear grudges. Right is right, wrong is wrong, and there was no third way to choose between them. It turned out that he didn't like Liu Yu, but now he was all turned upside down. Looking at it, he was the appearance of an extraordinary emperor.

The emperor smiled and said, "Sir, you can't get rid of me. Look, when you ran to Chencang, I still chased me. Now, where are you going?"

Yong An said: "Your Majesty, go wherever you go. If you want to get rid of me, that won't happen! Your Majesty wants to attack Longxi, and I am willing to advance for Your Majesty and capture Wei Xiang's son alive!"

The king and his ministers laughed at each other, and all their resentment and suspicion disappeared.

The southern line also heard good news. The central doctor Lu Yu took advantage of the enemy's defeat and was confused and had no master to attack Dasan Pass, and the Guanzhong portal returned to Liu Yu's hands.

At this point, the Han army won a great victory, recovered the four counties and Dasan Pass, and the troops were in full swing in Longxi.

The emperor sent Yang Yanshou to gather the remaining soldiers of Liu Jia and others, and to pick up the young and strong men to join the army, and the rest organized to go to farm. He himself prepared troops, prepared food and grass, and put on the stance of entering Longxi.

At this time, two teams crossed Longshan and came from the west. One was the commander of the Tunqi Crew Qu Chang Gongsun Zhun, and the other was the commander of Wei Xiang's general Wang Zun.

Wang Zun was originally from Baling. When the Xin Dynasty was destroyed, he raised an army to respond to Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan, who was Wei Xiang's subordinate. He followed Wei Xiang into the court. When Wei Xiang escaped from Chang'an, Wang Zun cut off the pass and guarded the road for him.

Logically speaking, Wang Zun was Wei Xiang's confidant and should be loyal to him, but Wang Zun has always had a big Han complex. Although he was forced out of Chang'an by Emperor Gengshi, he still focused on the Han Dynasty.

When Wang Zun heard that the little emperor Liu Yu had entered Chang'an, he became interested. Liu Yu's affairs continued to spread to Longxi, so Wang Zun persuaded Wei Xiang to return to the Han Dynasty. However, because Wei Xiang was suspicious about returning to the Han Dynasty last time, he was encouraged by another confidant Wang Yuan around him and attempted to become the local emperor in Longxi. Therefore, he was hesitant and unresolved, so he was sent to Chang'an.

At this time, Wang Zun met Wu Gai who came to Longxi to sell horses by "accidentally" opportunity. Although Wu Gai was a businessman, he was very kind and had good conversations. He had many contacts with wealthy nobles in Longxi. The two of them became more and more close. Wu Gai praised the little emperor in Chang'an and persuaded Wang Zun to return east, which was intimidating Wang Zun's heart.

Under Wugai's planning, Wang Zun left Wei Xiang with hundreds of family confidants, and was accompanied by a group of local famous scholars, the most famous of which was the great scholar Zheng Xing.

Zheng Xing was good at calendar calculations and liked ancient studies. He once studied from Liu Xin, a great scholar in the Xin Dynasty. At that time, he advocated that Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan set his capital in Chang'an, and was later appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. He was dismissed from office for his crimes and was stranded in Liangzhou, which was valued by Wei Xiang. Wei Xiang wanted to proclaim himself king, but Zheng Xing tried his best to dissuade him.

Because Wei Xiang had the ambition to be independent, Zheng Xing was quite dissatisfied with him. At the instigation of Wugai, he decided to return to the Han Dynasty and embarked on the road to advance east with Wang Zun and others. Sun Yi, the lieutenant of the garrison stationed in Lueyang, sent troops to respond, and sent Gongsun Zhun to lead two thousand troops to escort them east out of Longshan.

The group left Longshan and walked eastward for a short while, they received unexpected news. The little emperor led his army to fight in person. Now he is in Yong County. Everyone was overjoyed and came to pay a visit. Of course, the little emperor was welcomed.

At that time, Longxi had been peaceful for a long time. Compared with Guanzhong, Guandong lived a stable life, and most of the wealthy families in Guanzhong moved westward to avoid chaos. Therefore, the talents in Longxi were as prosperous as those in Chang'an and Luoyang. If these talents were all under the emperor's command, they would of course be of great help to Liu Yu's hegemony.

The emperor held a grand banquet, one to celebrate the merits and the other to welcome the people in Longxi.

Everyone here is a handsome man. The people in Longxi, led by Wang Zun and Zheng Xing, were almost all famous scholars with outstanding knowledge. Although there were also civil servants and scholars on the side of the young emperor Liu Yu, most of them were military generals and were not in line with the civil and intellectual powers. Especially the generals of the Red Eyebrow Army, Fan Chong, Rong An, Xie Lu and others, they couldn't read a big word, which seemed particularly rude and rustic.

The generals were still excited about the battle that had just ended and were talking lively. Rong An said, "Shu Zi Yancen actually attacked Yong County. I was about to rescue him, but I didn't expect that Liu Jia, the dog guy, came from behind and blocked me in Chen Cang."

He patted Wang Meng's shoulder and said, "You kid killed Yan Cen and let me breathe. I should have thanked you, but I'm a little angry with you. Why don't you save half of his life? Let me stab him and exhale the anger in my heart."

Wang Meng only knew how to giggle, "How could I know that Yan Cen's body was so weak that he couldn't stand my spear."

Fan Chong said from the side: "His spear weighs dozens of kilograms. Who can survive without death? That's really a body made of iron!"
