Liu Xiu sent Wu Han to command an army of 100,000 to quell the chaos in Nanyang.
After Wu Han led his army to Nanyang, he ordered Cen Peng's tribe in Jingzhou to attack Xu Han who had raised troops in Xingju. Cen Peng's troops did not have many troops, only 10,000 people. In Wu Han's view, it was impossible to defeat Xu Han.
Handan, there should be no problem.
He himself led the main force of the Han army to advance southward, relieving Jiantan and Wan from being trapped in Wancheng. Wu Han's army first captured Luyang, then Bowang, and advanced with great momentum all the way to Wancheng, where they fought against Jiantan and Wan Shunli.
Convergence.
After that, Wu Han left Jiantan and Wan behind to continue to guard Wancheng. He led his troops southward, with the goal of first taking Jiyang, then Xinye, and finally attacking Caiyang, the imperial hometown.
When Wu Han led his army to advance toward Jiyang, a scout quickly ran into the Han army and headed straight for Wu Han.
When Wu Han approached, the scout stepped in on his horse to salute, and said in a hurry: "Da... Da Sima, ahead... ahead..."
Wu Han frowned and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Speak slowly if you have something to say, why are you in a hurry?!" As he spoke, he motioned to the guards around him and handed the water bag to the scout.
The scout picked up the water bag and took a big gulp of water. Then he took a few breaths and said, "Report to the Grand Sima, the three elders of the country and the two young masters of the general were found ahead!"
Hearing the scout's words, Wu Han felt puzzled. He raised his eyebrows and asked uncertainly: "Who is yours?"
"Uh...it's Liu Liang, Liu Gong, and General Liu's two sons, Liu Zhang and Liu Xing!"
Wu Han showed a look of sudden realization.
After Liu Xuan became emperor, he named Liu Liang the third elder of the country, and it was right for him to call the scouts the third elder of the country. Liu Liang was the emperor's uncle, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing were the emperor's nephews. This time they could
It was such a coincidence to meet the three of them.
He asked seriously: "Where are they now?"
"Right ahead!"
Wu Han said: "Lead the way ahead!"
Under the guidance of the scout, Wu Han led a group of guards and rushed forward. From a distance, he saw a group of people walking in front, including men and women, old and young, about twenty or thirty people.
appearance.
Seeing a large group of officers and soldiers galloping towards them, the group of men, women, and children were so frightened that they hurriedly hid by the roadside. When they got close to them, Wu Han halted his horse, looked around, and asked, "Excuse me, who is Liu Liang Liu?"
male?"
"This... this general, my surname is Liu Mingliang, I don't know who the general is..."
After hearing the words, Wu Han looked at the old man in the crowd. The old man's clothes were very gorgeous, made of brocade, and fine workmanship. However, he didn't know how many days it had been since they had been washed, and they were extremely dirty. The appearance of everyone else
They are all similar to the old man. Their originally gorgeous clothes are now dirty and torn.
After hearing the old man's reply, Wu Han stood up and dismounted without saying a word, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I am Wu Han, Wu Ziyan, here to pay homage to Mr. Liu!"
His sudden salute frightened Liu Liang. It took him a while to react, and he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to let it go, how dare I accept the general's gift?!"
It could be heard that Liu Liang did not recognize him at all. Wu Han said: "I am the Grand Sima of Luoyang, Wu Ziyan of Wu Han!"
Liu Liang opened his mouth in disbelief. After a long while, he asked uncertainly: "You...are you Axiu's subordinate?"
Wu Han cleared his throat, bowed and said, "Exactly!"
After receiving Wu Han's affirmative answer, Liu Liang couldn't help bursting into tears, and everyone present couldn't help sobbing softly.
Liu Xuan died, the Gengshi court was destroyed, and Chang'an was occupied by the Red Eyebrow Army. From then on, the life of Liu Liang's family began to take a turn for the worse.
Fortunately, Yang Yin, the general of the Red Eyebrow Army, secretly took care of Liu Liang and his family, so that Liu Liang and his family survived and did not die in Chang'an.
Later, with the help of Yang Yin, Liu Liang's family escaped from Chang'an and came to Nanyang. They thought they could live a peaceful life back home in Nanyang, but Nanyang was occupied by various separatist forces.
Feeling that life in Nanyang was not easy, Liu Liang planned to take Liu's sons Liu Zhang and Liu Xing to Luoyang to join Liu Xiu. However, the current war was in chaos. It was not easy to go to Luoyang smoothly.
Liu Liang's big family, including the servants, originally had more than a hundred people, but now they are the only ones left, and most of the servants have fled. The fact that Liu Liang's family can live safely until now is a real achievement.
It's luck.
Now that they heard that the visitor was one of Liu Xiu's subordinates, everyone who had been on the move all cried with joy.
Wu Han asked with concern: "Where does Liu Gong want to go?"
Liu Liang wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said: "I wanted to go to Luoyang and seek refuge with Axiu, but on the way, I encountered bandits and most of my money was robbed. The remaining money was also stolen by the servants.
…”
Speaking of this, Liu Liang choked up again.
Wu Han nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, Ziyan will send troops to escort Mr. Liu to Luoyang!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Liang knelt on his knees and said with a cry: "General Wu is so kind and kind, I will never forget it!"
Wu Han was startled, and immediately knelt down as well, saying anxiously: "Mr. Liu, this is a shameful thing for Ziyan!"
When Wu Han went to Nanyang to quell the chaos, he happened to meet Liu Liang, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing. These people were all close relatives of the emperor. Wu Han did not dare to neglect or be careless, so he sent three thousand elite soldiers to escort them.
Liu Liang's family went to Luoyang.
This time, with the escort of elite Han troops, Liu Liang's family arrived in Luoyang smoothly without any further accidents. Liu Xiu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and went out of the palace in person to greet his uncle's family and two nephews.
Along with Liu Xiu, in addition to Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua, there were also Liu Huang, Liu Boji, and Li Tong's family.
Seeing his uncle Liu Liang, Liu Xiu quickly stepped forward, knelt on his knees, his eyes turned red, and said, "Nephew, pay homage to your uncle!" yyls
No matter what his current status was, no matter how much Liu Xiu complained about Liu Liang's inaction, Liu Liang was the close relative who raised him single-handedly. When he saw Liu Liang, Liu Xiu couldn't help but burst into tears.
.
Liu Xiu was now the emperor. When the emperor knelt, how could Liu Liang remain standing? Liu Liang also knelt on the ground, and the uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried.
After a while, Liu Xiucai calmed down his emotions, and then introduced Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua to Liu Liang.
Liu Liang had never met Guo Shengtong, but he had known Yin Lihua for a long time. Liu Xiu mainly introduced Yin Lihua's current noble status.
As for Liu Huang and Liu Boji, there is nothing to introduce. Liu Boji’s husband, Li Tong, has also known Liu Liangliang for a long time.
While Liu Liang, Liu Huang, and Liu Boji were talking, Liu Xiu turned and looked at the two young men who were standing timidly not far away. He looked around and said in surprise: "Zhang'er! Xing'er!"
As soon as he called out their nicknames, the two teenagers knelt down together and cried: "Nephew meets uncle!"
Seeing the two nephews Liu Zhang and Liu Xing, Liu Xiu immediately thought of his eldest brother Liu. Liu Xiu's nose felt sore and tears flowed out again.
He quickly walked up to his two nephews, pulled them up from the ground, and then held them tightly with one arm in each other's arms.
Liu Zhang and Liu Xing both grew up under Liu Xiu's watch. When they were in Chongling Village, their uncle-nephew relationship was very close, but now they haven't seen each other for more than three years, and Liu Xiu's status has become the emperor.
Zhang and Liu Xing both wanted to get close to him, but were a little timid.
Now Liu Xiu hugged the two of them tightly, allowing them to let down their guard and finally realize that no matter what changes in their uncle's identity, he was still their uncle.
The two brothers also hugged Liu Xiu and burst into tears.
In fact, after Liu Xuan became emperor and established the Gengshi court, although Liu Xiu's life was miserable enough, the ones who were more miserable than him were his two nephews. After Liu Xuan killed Liu Du, could he think of eradicating the root of the problem?
, will there be no future troubles?
Liu Zhang and Liu Xing were able to survive and were not harmed by Liu Xuan because Liu Liang and other Liu family clan members risked their lives to save them. Although the Liu family clan members successfully saved the lives of Liu Zhang and Liu Xing
, but I don’t dare to get too close to his brothers on weekdays.
The clan members avoided his brothers like the plague. Even Liu Liang only sent people to send some money on weekdays and did not dare to have more contact with his brothers, for fear of arousing Liu Xuan's suspicion and giving his brothers
The two of them were killed.
Living in such an environment, one can imagine the hardships Liu Zhang and Liu Xingzhi had. Now that they finally met their closest uncle, the two brothers vented all the grievances and frights they had suffered over the years and burst into tears.
Although Liu Xiu did not see with his own eyes how his two nephews lived these years, he could imagine that he felt sad and ashamed of his eldest brother. The two brothers held their heads and cried, and he cried too.
Finally, Li Tong stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, let's go into the palace to talk!"
Liu Xiu finally woke up, nodded, wiped the tears on his face, held Liu Zhang with one hand and Liu Xing with the other, and said, "Let's go! Go to the palace to talk to your uncle!"
This time, Liu Xiu's banquet in the palace was basically a family dinner for the Liu family.
The person sitting in the middle is naturally Liu Xiu, and those sitting on both sides of him are the Queen Guo Shengtong and the noble Yin Lihua. As for the beauty, she is not qualified to participate in such a banquet.
Sitting next to Liu Xiuxia, the first one is naturally Liu Liang, followed by Li Tong, Liu Zhang, and Liu Xing. Opposite are Liu Huang, Liu Boji and other female members of the Liu family.
When the food and drinks were served, Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass and first toasted Liu Liang with a glass of wine, and then drank with his two nephews.
Everyone was chatting while eating. Liu Xiu asked: "Uncle, how did you escape after Chang'an fell?"
Mentioning this incident, Liu Liang sighed with emotion and said with emotion: "We can only successfully escape from Chang'an because of the help of General Yang Yin!"
"Yang Yin?" Liu Xiu was startled. If he remembered correctly, Yang Yin was one of the main leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army. After Liu Penzi became emperor, Yang Yin also ranked among the Nine Ministers, and held the official position of Da Sinong.
He asked in surprise: "Did Yang Yin save my uncle?"
"Exactly! When Chang'an was in the most chaotic time, it was General Yang Yin who protected us and saved us. Later, it was General Yang Yin who secretly sent us out of the city and escaped from Chang'an with a narrow escape." Liu Liang looked serious.
said.
Liu Xiu said thoughtfully. Yang Yin was the core member of the Red Eyebrow Army. When Fan Chong had just raised his troops to rebel, Yang Yin raised troops in the East China Sea to respond. Like Fan Chong, he was the one who single-handedly founded the Red Eyebrow Army.
There is a factor of deliberately saving his uncle to please himself.
Yang Yin is willing to do this. It can only be said that this person has very good moral character. He still has some memories of the friendship between Lu Lin and Red Eyebrow when they joined forces to fight against Mang, and he is unwilling to do things too badly.
Liu Xiu nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yang Yin is not a bad person. I will remember his kindness and I will look for opportunities to repay him in the future!"
