In the second year of his residence, Dongjun Taishou Zhai Yi supported Liu Xin as the emperor, and called himself the Great Sima and the Great General of Zhutian. Gather more than 100,000 soldiers, spread the word to the world, and call on the officials and people of the world to support the Han family and work together to eradicate Wang Mang.

After the reckless document was issued, the county and the country were shaken, and the anti-reckless sentiment of the whole country was inflamed, and a huge wave of anti-recklessness was soon formed.

This really made Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan a little frightened, and hurriedly worshiped Wang Yi, the son of the Marquis of Chengdu, as a rebellious general, gathered the troops they could mobilize, and went to Dongjun to suppress the uprising.

And the advanced weapons sent by Geng Xiaofan at this time were simply a relief to Wang Jingyan.

Although the first batch of weapons was not numerous, the power was indeed amazing, especially in siege matches, which were simply razor-sharp. Wang Yi only took three months, almost bloodless, to conquer the "enemy nest" and capture Zhai Yi alive!

When the news of the victory reached Chang'an, Wang Jingyan was overjoyed, and she was really reluctant to let Geng Xiaofan go back to Yanmen Liuquan Fort.

"Brother Xiaofan, see it! That's the power of technology! It doesn't take much, you equip me with a 10,000-strong army, and I can sweep Liuhe! ”

"Sister Jing Yan, the soldiers are fierce! Since ancient times, the art of war has said that the first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the city is attacked. With your talent and ability, it is the right way to fight and make friends, why do you have to give up the good and take the inferior? Geng Xiaofan didn't expect that the weapon he made was so sharp, which was really unexpected.

"Brother Xiaofan, haven't you understood this big man? The people are stupid now, what reason do you have to talk to them? Killing with a hard hand is the best means of domination. If I hadn't known that you were too soft-hearted, I would have left you by my side to be an iron-blooded prime minister! Wang Jingyan held the battle report in her hand, but she still couldn't suppress the "ecstasy" in her heart.

"Hey! Sister Jingyan, I think that no matter what dynasty, peace and development are the mainstream. War is only a last resort. I have done this for you with only one hope, and I hope that you will use these sharp weapons to end the war with war. Geng Xiaofan sighed, he knew that for a while, he couldn't change Jing Yan's sister's thoughts. However, he still has to remind him.

"Hmmm! I know that! After this war, the world should be peaceful for a while. Isn't this just ending war with war? Wang Jingyan grinned and dealt with Geng Xiaofan.

Wang Jingyan thought that the battle of Dongjun was enough to shock the world and stop the anti-reckless forces of the people. Unexpectedly, there was another disaster under my nose.

Geng Xiaofan thought that the "Zhai Yi Trouble" had subsided, and just a few days after leaving Chang'an, there was news that Zhao Ming and Huo Hong, who were from Maoling Huaili, had rebelled!

This time it was too close to Chang'an, and the incident happened too suddenly, Geng Xiaofan heard the news that Zhao Huo's two thieves had invaded Chang'an, and the soldiers were not young!

He didn't care much, so he quickly turned his horse's head and returned.

By the time he hurried to Weiyang Palace, the "war" had already ended. Although Wang Yi's army was far away in Dongjun and did not return, Sister Jing Yan relied on her hundreds of "palace guards" to block more than 10,000 "anti-thieves" in the south of Chang'an City, and finally cleared all the rebels in Shanglin Yuan!

However, after this battle, Wang Jingyan was also frightened.

Seeing Geng Xiaofan who came in a hurry, she almost lost control of her emotions, and almost threw herself into his arms in front of everyone in front of the Weiyang Palace!

Although the battle was won, Chang'an City was already in shambles, and even Weiyang Palace was not spared. Geng Xiaofan dismissed the palace people and ordered them to clean up quickly. When he came to Sister Jing Yan's side, he really had to talk to her again.

"Little Brother Fan! That's what I had before! Look at the sunset and the fire! Seeing that there were no outsiders, Wang Jingyan couldn't help leaning on Geng Xiaofan's shoulder and began to sob.

"That's it! It's all right! Geng Xiaofan patted Wang Jingyan's back and comforted her.

"Brother Xiao Fan, you said, if it weren't for this escort team that you equipped me in time, what would it be like now?" Wang Jingyan's voice trembled.

"The sun will set, and the night will come. But tomorrow the sun will rise as usual, and it will still be a new day. Geng Xiaofan said calmly.

"But, will there still be a big man? Will you still see me? Wang Jingyan understood what Geng Xiaofan meant, but still asked rhetorically.

"As I said, war is not the only solution to the problem. There are some things that you still need to reconsider. Geng Xiaofan replied noncommittally.

"Stay! Stay and help me! Wang Jingyan was unspeakably helpless at this moment.

"You dismissed all my officials, how can I help you?" Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly.

"I always feel like I'm in control, but when it comes to it, I'm still a little at a loss. Stay and help me, with you, my heart is steady. ”

"So what's next for you? Do you really want Wang Mang to be the emperor? Geng Xiaofan saw Wang Jingyan's helplessness and was a little unbearable.

"It's probably the best thing to do. When you become an emperor, you can do anything justifiably. There may be some turmoil, but after the turmoil, the wind is calm. ”

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? Geng Xiaofan remembered Bai Juyi's poems. "Now is the most critical juncture. Take a step forward and establish a new dynasty, and you may be able to display your great talents, but no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will definitely leave a handle for future generations to criticize. It is not known to take a step back. Maybe he can assist the little emperor and make Wang Mang a generation of famous ministers and shine in the annals of history! ”

Geng Xiaofan persuaded, seeing that Wang Jingyan was a little hesitant, he persuaded again, "It's easy to take this step, but there is no way to turn back." You have to think about it. ”

"Can't hesitate! I'm actually already on this path. If you advance, you may have a way to live, but if you retreat, you will be ruined! Wang Jingyan pondered for a long time, but still made up her mind.

"You should know this history better than I do. Now that you've decided, let's do it. It's better to kill as little as possible. Geng Xiaofan sighed.

Because Wang Jingyan's mood was not stable enough, Geng Xiaofan was a little uneasy, and stayed in Chang'an to accompany her for a few months. This also allowed him to "witness" the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty with his own eyes!

With his "help", Wang Jingyan created several "auspicious" ones one after another, and Wang Mang's "minions" took the opportunity to persuade them.

After several twists and turns, Geng Xiaofan felt that Wang Mang's ascension to the throne was "a certainty" and "a matter of course"!

Seeing that the situation was stable, he was ready to take his leave and return to Fort Willow Springs. He's been gone for too long, and the arsenal doesn't know what's going on. In the past half a year, although he has advised him many times, Sister Jing Yan still stubbornly sent several batches of death row prisoners to Fort Liuquan to speed up the production capacity of guns and ammunition!

When I came to Jing Yan's sister's study, I didn't expect Wang Mang to be there, as well as his cousin Wang Shun, Marquis of Anyang.

The three of them seemed to be studying something in front of the bookcase.
