Chapter 269 The first emperor of the crisis, Xiao Wang Liu Xiu!
"Qinglong Tianxian, after all, did not take action!"
Liu Xiu sighed.
Just now, when Wang Lang was killed, the void was calm, and the Azure Dragon Heavenly Immortal did not intervene in it after all.
Karma, cause and effect, luck, calamity, destiny, etc., restrict monks, especially earthly immortals and heavenly immortals.
Under the law of heaven, the more powerful the existence is, the more attention it is paid by the law of heaven and the more it is restricted.
Under the constraints of heaven, the Earth Immortal cannot take action easily, just like the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons on Earth.
If nuclear weapons were unrestricted and bombed at will, the earth might have been destroyed by nuclear weapons long ago; similarly, if the earthly immortals and immortals were unrestricted and bombed at will, all living beings in the main world would be affected and die. For the world,
Each living being is the foundation, and a large number of living beings die, damaging the foundation of the world.
With his figure flashing, Liu Xiu returned to Handan City.
…………
Wang Lang proclaimed himself emperor and Hebei was in crisis.
Emperor Gengshi learned the news and dispatched his troops to attack.
But just after reorganizing the troops, news came that the Grand Sima Liu Xiu had pacified Hebei, recovered Handan, and killed Wang Lang. All the counties and cities that had submitted to Wang Lang in the past surrendered to Liu Xiu one after another.
Liu Xiu's name was powerful in Hebei Province.
"In just three months, he gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and swept across Hebei!" Emperor Gengshi frowned and said, "Liu Xiu is amazing, and he is so lucky!"
"The trend has been established, Liu Xiu is developing too fast!" Jin Yu Dixian also frowned.
It was imagined that Liu Xiu would gain a firm foothold in Hebei, but it would take at least a year. However, it only took three months for Liu Xiu to gain a firm foothold. The speed was too fast.
Immortal Jin Yu said: "Your Majesty, you should confer Liu Xiu as King Xiao, praise him for his ability as Xiao He, and recall him!"
Emperor Gengshi said: "The situation is complete. The kites that were flown in the past have got rid of their silk threads and turned into rocs. They can never be called back again!"
Jin Yu's Immortal said: "Let Shangshu Xie Gong enter Handan to serve as the herdsman of Jizhou and restrain Liu Xiu; send Miao Zeng to be the herdsman of Youzhou and seize its Yuyang, Shanggu and other places!"
"Okay, that's all!"
Emperor Gengshi said.
This was his last effort. Now, he is a little too busy to take care of himself. The Ni Bodhisattva can't save himself when crossing the river. Inside the court, the four major factions, Zhao Meng, Nanyang Heroes, Green Forest Generals, and the Chung Ling clan, are fighting openly and secretly to invade each other; outside the court,
, Liu Yong, King of Liang in Shangqiu, Gongsun Shu, King of Shu in Chengdu, Li Xian, King of Huainan in Anhui, Qin Feng, King of Chu Li in Xiangyang, as well as local warlords such as Zhang Bu of Langya, Dong Xian of Donghai, Yancen of Hanzhong, Tianrong of Yichang, as well as Chimei, Tong
Large and small refugee armed forces such as Ma, Gaohu, Chonglian, Tieshan, Qingdu, and Wuxiao are all over the world. Together, they have millions of troops, making trouble all over the country. They basically don't take Gengshi Emperor as an example.
Same thing.
Emperor Gengshi felt waves of exhaustion!
"Can I be a good emperor? Can I be a qualified emperor?" Emperor Gengshi suddenly asked: "At the beginning, I was forced to become the emperor, but my foundation was not stable and I was not as good as Liu Yan. Later I killed Liu Yan and thought I had a solid foundation.
It's strong, but it still causes trouble!"
"What will happen if Liu Yan becomes emperor?"
Jin Yu Dixian said: "There are no assumptions in life, and there is no possibility of a do-over!"
…………
After entering Handan City and resting for a few days, Xie Gong came to issue the decree.
"Da Sima, Wu Xinhou Liu Xiu, quelled the rebellion in Hebei, killed the rebel king, and made great contributions to the world. He was canonized as King Xiao. He will return to Chang'an today!" Xie Gong issued the decree.
Everyone fell silent.
Liu Xiu also fell silent.
It’s not like killing a donkey to remove a millstone!
"Ahem!" Liu Xiu coughed and said, "Of course I have complied with your Majesty's decree. However, the situation in Hebei is not yet settled, and there are many groups of thieves such as Qingdu and Bronze Horse who cannot do without me. Please calm down Hebei."
, it’s not too late to return to Chang’an!”
"The turmoil in Hebei cannot be separated from Da Sima!"
Wu Han stepped forward and said, pulling out half of the sword. The light was flashing, as if he was about to attack at any time.
Deng Yu also spoke: "Hebei is in turmoil and the situation is uneasy. We still cannot do without King Xiao!"
Other generals said one after another, also saying that Hebei cannot do without Liu Xiu.
Xie Gong looked at the scene and wanted to speak out to accuse, but in the end he fell silent. It was better not to quarrel. If he really quarreled, he would be the one to suffer.
He bowed with thanks and withdrew.
"Emperor Gengshi is still a bit stingy and lacks magnanimity!" Deng Yu said: "The speed of killing the donkey is too fast and too impatient, and it is easy to force him to rebel against the lord!"
Liu Xiudao: "If I were Emperor Gengshi, I would only entrust all the power of Hebei. Since I can't control it, I will just go with the flow. Emperor Gengshi has a little cleverness, but no great wisdom!"
…
As Liu Xiu refused to return to Beijing, the situation in Handan City became crisis.
In Handan City, one side is Liu Xiu's camp, and the other side is Xie Gong's camp. The two sides are facing each other, and they are close to a fight. Small frictions are still going on, and a decisive battle may break out at any time.
"Lord, something bad is going to happen!"
Deng Yu stepped forward to fight: "Emperor Gengshi took action. Miao was once the shepherd of Youzhou, and he asked other officials to take over the land of Youzhou. He also took advantage of the lack of troops in Yuyang, Shanggu and other places to occupy this place.
Both places. As for Peng Chong, Geng Kuang and others, they were also dismissed and their military power was taken away!"
"They were actually seized from power!" Liu Xiu was very disappointed, but after all, he was the first to surrender. "Let Wu Han and Geng Yan go and take back the two lands!"
After a while, Wu Han and Geng Yan appeared.
"Greetings, my lord!"
The two said in unison.
Liu Xiudao: "Yuyang, Shanggu is lost. I want to send you as envoys to go to the north to gather troops and horses to persuade Miao Zeng to surrender. If he doesn't surrender, kill him!"
"We will fulfill our mission!"
"How many troops and horses are needed?" Liu Xiu asked.
"Two hundred is enough!" Wu Han said.
"Thirty is enough!" Geng Yan said.
"Okay!" Liu Xiu said with a smile, "I'm waiting for your good news!"
The two generals reorganized themselves a little and then left.
"My lord, with less than two hundred troops, can they pacify the North?" Deng Yu was still worried.
"They can do it!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "In the Yuyang Army, Peng Chong has only a name in name, and Wu Han is the core; in the Shanggu Army, his father Geng Kuang has a name in name only, and Geng Yan is the core! You are not in the army.
However, I don’t know the secret of the army. The army cannot be taken over by relying on a few big seals, but by prestige!"
"What a blessing! Wu Han has the talents of Wu Qi, and Geng Yan has the talents of Han Xin and Huo Qubing. If they take action, they can easily take Youzhou! But what should Handan do, and what should Xie Gong do? Kill, or not kill! How else to deal with it!"
Obviously, Xie Gong didn't want to break his face, and Liu Xiu didn't want to break his face. It was not the same thing to just continue the stalemate.
It's time to end, he doesn't have time to scheming with Xie Gong in Handan!
