Chapter four hundred and fifty first meeting for the first time
Will Liu Xuan fall out with Chimei? According to Liu Xiu's judgment, he will definitely.
In terms of strength, the Red Eyebrow Army is no weaker than Liu Xuan's court, and even has more soldiers and horses.
It is impossible for Liu Xuan to want the Red Eyebrow Army to surrender and surrender, and it is even more impossible for the Red Eyebrow Army to want Liu Xuan to surrender and surrender. The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, and there will definitely be a war in the future.
And once a fight breaks out, it will definitely be a life-and-death battle. Liu Xiu is waiting for this day to come.
When Liu Xuan had just moved his capital to Chang'an, Fan Chongyou, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, took his subordinates to defect to Liu Xuan and surrendered to Liu Xuan.
At that time, Mo Yan, the military advisor of the Red Eyebrow Army, strongly objected, saying that Liu Xuan was narrow-minded. If he surrendered to Liu Xuan, he would neither gain Liu Xuan's trust nor gain Liu Xuan's importance, and all the troops and horses in his hands would have to be destroyed.
Liu Xuan won everything.
Fan Chong wanted to give it a try and took only a few of his generals to defect to Liu Xuan.
Sure enough, as Mo Yan had inferred, Liu Xuan, who had just moved his capital to Chang'an, was so powerful that no one took him seriously.
Liu Xuan's attitude towards Fan Chong and other Red Eyebrow Army generals who came to submit was very cold.
After Liu Xuan met with Fan Chong, he only gave Fan Chong a symbolic title of marquis, but did not give him any official position. In other words, he did not delegate any actual power to Fan Chong. Instead, he ordered Fan Chong to immediately mobilize all the red eyebrow troops under his command.
Incorporated into the Han army under his own command.
Liu Xuan's attitude made Fan Chong and his generals very dissatisfied. He only stayed under Liu Xuan for a few days, and then he seized an opportunity, took several of his subordinates, secretly escaped from Chang'an, and returned to Chang'an.
The base of the Red Eyebrow Army. After returning, Fan Chong became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he discussed with Mo Yan how to deal with Liu Xuan.
Mo Yan smiled and helped Fan Chong do some analysis.
Who is Liu Xuan? He was just a fugitive before. Why did he become the emperor? It was because the Green Forest Army forced him to the throne and he was a puppet supported by the Green Forest Army.
Why can't our side imitate the original Green Forest Army? Since the Green Forest Army can introduce an emperor who listens to them, why can't our side also support a puppet emperor?
There are thousands of Liu family members and descendants of the Han Dynasty all over the world, but Liu Xuan is not the only one?
After hearing Mo Yan's words, Fan Chong opened his door, clapped his hands, and even praised Mo Yan's idea.
With Mo Yan's advice, Fan Chong actually found more than 20 Liu family members and descendants of the Han Dynasty among the Red Eyebrow Army.
How to choose an emperor among the more than 20 Liu family members, Fan Chong came up with an excellent idea to draw lots.
He had more than twenty bamboo sticks made, of which only the head of one bamboo stick was painted red, and then asked more than twenty Liu family members to come over and draw lots.
As for the order of drawing lots, it also makes sense. It is arranged according to age. The older ones are drawn first, and the younger ones are drawn later.
These more than 20 Liu clan members were put on the shelf by Fan Chong, and they were drawn one by one. None of the more than 20 people in front of them got the bamboo stick with a red head. In the end, only fourteen or five were left.
Old boy.
Before the young man came over to draw the last bamboo stick, Mo Yan rushed to hold his hands and laughed, saying to Fan Chong: "General, it seems that God's will is for Liu Penzi to ascend the throne as emperor!" xdw8
This young man's name is Liu Penzi. Before he joined the Red Eyebrow Army, he was a cowherd boy. Even now, he is still dressed like a shepherd boy, with disheveled hair, skinny bones, bare feet, and no clothes on his body.
Fan Chong looked at Liu Penzi and then at Mo Yan, and immediately understood Mo Yan's intention. He just wanted this half-grown child to be the emperor, so that he would be easier to control.
In this way, the Red Eyebrow Army established a precedent in Chinese history, relying on drawing lots to select the emperor. Liu Penzi was elected as the emperor by the Red Eyebrow Army, and the founding name of the country was Jianwu, so Liu Penzi was also called the Founding Emperor.
After Liu Penzi proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately named Fan Chong the imperial censor, Xuxuan the prime minister, Feng'an the left great Sima, Xie Lu the right great Sima, and Mo Yan the national advisor.
At this point, the founding imperial court with the Red Eyebrow Army as the main body was officially established. At this time, the power of the Red Eyebrow Army had spread to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, with an army of hundreds of thousands, and its momentum was like a rainbow.
If a mountain cannot tolerate kings and two tigers, how can the world tolerate two masters? In this situation of divided courts, the Gengshi court, with the Green Forest Army as the main body, and the Jianshi court with the Red Eyebrow Army as the main body, can they avoid a bloody battle?
Do you live or die?
This is the opportunity Liu Xiu is waiting for. As long as the Gengshi Court and the Jianshi Court fight, then his opportunity will come.
Liu Xiu commanded 100,000 men from Zhending County, and soon arrived at Guangcheng to join Deng Yu's tribe. At the same time, Kou Xun and others also led troops from Xindu County. The various armies of Liu Xiu's tribe quickly arrived at Guangcheng.
Assemble.
At present, the main army under Liu Xiu's command must be the Zhending Army with a strength of 100,000.
Followed by the Shanggu Army and the Yuyang Army. Now the Shanggu Army and the Yuyang Army have both expanded to 5,000 soldiers and horses, with a total of 10,000 troops, of which 6,000 are infantry and 4,000 are cavalry.
Among the six thousand infantrymen, there were also the feared Ben Ming Army.
The Zhongshan Army and the Xindu Army each had close to 5,000 men, totaling tens of thousands. However, the number of cavalry among them was relatively small, and most of them were infantry.
A total of 120,000 troops is Liu Xiu's current entire family fortune.
According to the plans of generals Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, and Kou Xun, in order to quell Wang Lang's battle, we should adopt a step-by-step, steady-attack strategy, and push forward one county after another.
But the plan did not change quickly. With the arrival of Xie Gongyi, the step-by-step plan agreed upon by Liu Xiu and others was no longer applicable.
For the past few days, Liu Xiu had been discussing with Deng Yu and others on how to fight the next war. On this day, they were discussing in the Chinese military tent in the military camp, and Long Yuan's voice came from outside the camp: "Lord!"
"Come in and talk!" Liu Xiuzheng said without looking up as he looked down at the map of Jizhou.
Long Yuan strode in from the outside, bowed his hands to Liu Xiu, and said: "My lord, thank you for your order!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The bow of thanks came so quickly!
Liu Xiu frowned. He had never heard of an army of 30,000 approaching Yincheng! He asked, "How many troops did Xie Gong bring?"
"Replying to my lord, I only have a dozen followers."
"Oh!" Liu Xiu nodded. No wonder he didn't receive a report that a large army was approaching Yincheng. It turned out that Xie Gong had shaken off the large army and took the lead. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Please!"
Shangshu Ling Xie Gong is young, only in his thirties, with dark skin and thin body. Looking at his face, he looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His appearance is dignified and elegant.
Liu Xiu has always liked good-looking people, and Liu Xiu fell in love with Xie Gong at the first sight.
After Xie Gong entered the Chinese military tent, he immediately bowed to Liu Xiushen and said respectfully: "I have ordered Xie Gong to pay my respects to Marquis Wu Xin!"
When ordinary people see Liu Xiu, they usually address him as Grand Sima. At this time, Xie bowed and called Liu Xiu Marquis of Wu Xin, which obviously did not recognize his title of Grand Sima. In fact, Liu Xuan did not make Liu Xiu Grand Sima, but
He was granted the title of Great Sima.
As soon as Xie Gong opened his mouth, the generals present were dissatisfied, and the eyes looking at Xie Gong also showed a faint murderous intent. Liu Xiu did not take it seriously and said with a smile: "Xie Shangshu Ling has come all the way. It has been a hard journey, so there is no need for more
present."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhu and said: "Mr. Zhong, please prepare a tent and prepare some good wine and food!"
"Yes! Lord!" Zhu agreed, stood up and walked out. When he passed by Xie Gong, he gave him a fierce look.
He bowed as if he hadn't seen anything, smiled at Liu Xiu, raised his hands and said, "Thank you Marquis Wu Xin for your hospitality!" After a moment, he said with a smile: "I'm here, congratulations Marquis Wu Xin."
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Thank you for your order, why am I so happy?"
Xie bowed and said, "Marquis Wu Xin is newly married and has married a peerless beauty. Naturally, I am very happy and congratulated."
He deliberately emphasized the tone of the words 'marrying another beautiful woman', so that his words of congratulations had a hint of ridicule.
In Xie Gong's opinion, Liu Xiu is indeed good at marrying. Marrying Yin Lihua gave Liu Xiu the support of the Yin family in Nanyang. Now he came to Hebei and married Liu Yang's niece Guo Shengtong, which gave him the
Zhen Dingguo’s support.
In the whole world, there is no one who is better at marrying a wife than Liu Xiu!
Xie Gong's strange aura made Wu Han explode on the spot. Bang! Wu Han slammed the table in front of him, and an obvious crack suddenly appeared on the table.
He stood up in a hurry, pointed at Xie Gong, and asked angrily: "Xie Gong, you just finished eating shit and didn't wipe your mouth clean, otherwise why would you spray shit here?!"
Wu Han's external conditions were very good, and he had the image of a handsome young man, but his speech and behavior were just the opposite. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would spray out dirty words about his father and mother like a barrage of cannons.
At this time, Xie Gong was shocked by him and looked at Wu Han in disbelief. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ever since Liu Xuan came to the throne, the Green Forest Army had replaced their guns with guns, and everyone began to pay attention to their own rest and recuperation. It had been a long time since he had encountered a person like Wu Han who was full of foul language.
After a while, Xie Gong finally came back to his senses, pointed his finger at Wu Han, trembling with anger, and said: "You, you..."
He looked at you for a long time without saying anything. When Wu Han saw this, he started to scold you: "You, you are a bitch! I, Wu Han, am the general under Grand Sima. If you are not convinced, you and I will go out and practice alone!"
Xie Gong also saw at this time that this handsome and handsome young man was just a fool. He couldn't make sense when talking to such a person.
He turned to look at Liu Xiu and asked with a gloomy face: "What is the meaning of Marquis Wu Xin instructing his subordinates to speak ill of his subordinates?"
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Wu Han was furious again. He said angrily: "Thank you, don't open your fucking eyes and tell lies. Which of your eyes did you see that it was the lord who ordered me to scold you? Damn you
Do you still think this is Chang'an? You are used to showing off in the court and showing off, and now you come to Hebei to show off? For a rat like you, Taigong Wu can kill thousands of you by yourself!"
