Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

After the meeting, Liu Xiu returned to his tent, and as soon as he sat down, Liu Xiu came.

Seeing Liu Xiu in private, Liu Xiu was a little embarrassed. When he was in Thorn City, Liu Xiu had advised him not to invade Wancheng easily, but he didn't listen, and before he arrived in Wancheng, the army was defeated and almost wiped out.

He handed the Chixiao Sword in his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, on the battlefield, I picked up the sword you left behind. ”

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, and was about to take the sword, but his hand was retracted, shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "Big brother, this sword left by Gao Zu will be used by you in the future, I ...... I don't deserve it. ”

Liu Yuan and his three little nieces died tragically in front of Liu Xiu's eyes, and the blow to him was too great, and Liu Xiu felt that he was insulting the prestige of his ancestors by using the Chixiao Sword again.

Liu Xiu sighed softly, put down the Chixiao Sword, sat beside Liu Xiu, and said meaningfully: "Ah Xiu, Ah Yuan's death has nothing to do with you. "This is to blame, and it can only be blamed on his head.

Liu Xiu bent his legs, his head hung between his knees, and the water droplets fell to the ground dripping, he choked up and said: "One step faster, even if it is half a step faster, I can save them all!" ”

Just a little bit! Just a little bit!

"I'm sorry for the second sister, I'm sorry for the child, and I'm even more sorry for the second brother-in-law!" The ground under Liu Xiu's head was soaked for a long time.

Liu Xiu silently raised his hand, hugged Liu Xiu's shoulder, hugged him back, and said, "If you want to cry, just cry out loud, after tonight, don't cry again in the future." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu grabbed his eldest brother's clothes with both hands, buried his face in his clothes, and cried loudly.

At this time, Liu Xiu was not the second-in-command of the Zhutiandu Division, nor was he a general who could command thousands of troops and horses and charge into battle, he was just a child.

The grievances, grief, depression, and even despair in his heart, he can't and dare not show it in front of outsiders, but in front of his eldest brother, he can release it without any worries.

The burly and majestic man in front of him is his pillar and his dearest relative in the world.

Liu Xiu hugged Liu Xiu, and his eyes gradually reddened, but he didn't shed a single tear after all.

He was the eldest son in the family, and when his father died, he was the head of the family, and he was the pillar of the family. The younger siblings can cry, but he can't.

There are tears, he has to swallow them in his stomach, it hurts, and he has to grit his teeth and stand up, no matter how big the failure or setback, he has to stand there like a mountain, so that his younger brothers and sisters can have something to rely on.

Outside, he is the great general of Zhutian, and inside, he is the elder brother, and the responsibility he bears makes him unqualified to cry.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xiu's crying gradually became quieter, and the person fell asleep in a daze in grief.

While Liu Jiu stood up, he picked up Liu Xiu horizontally, slowly put him on the bed, took off his shoes, and helped him cover the quilt, he picked up the Chixiao Sword that was put aside and gently placed it on Liu Xiu's pillow.

He stood beside the bed for a long time, touched Liu Xiu's head, turned around and walked out.

As soon as he came out, he saw Liu Ji, Deng Feng, Deng Chen, Li Yi and others standing outside, all with anxious faces.

Seeing that Liu Xuan finally came out, everyone stepped forward together, and was about to speak, Liu Xuan made a silent gesture, turned his head to look at the camp behind him, and walked to the side.

Walking far enough, he asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?" ”

"General, the spies have reported that a Jingshi army is heading towards Thorn Yang!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"The spies said there were about five thousand!" Liu Ying frowned and said, "General, the enemy army is menacing, and our army is ...... This battle is not capable of the enemy, our army should retreat now! ”

Liu Ying is one of the relatives of the Liu family, and like Liu Ji, they are both brave and good generals, but their strength is not as high as Liu Ji's, and their prestige is far less than that of Liu Ji.

Liu Xuan asked, "How long will it take for the enemy army to reach Jianyang?" ”

Li Yi continued: "If you march overnight, tomorrow morning, the enemy army can reach Jianyang!" ”

Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes, turned his head sideways and asked, "Weiqing, what do you think?" ”

Deng Chen's eyes were crimson, his brows were tightly locked, and he said, "General, now our army urgently needs a victory!" "To be exact, now is the time when he urgently needs to cut a few reckless troops to avenge the tragic death of his wife and children!

Liu Ji glared at Liu Ying and said in a deep voice: "General, I agree with Wei Qing's opinion!" In this battle, we must not back down, we must win the battle, and we must win it, in order to revive the morale of our army! ”

Deng Feng said: "If we want to fight, then now we have to strengthen the city defenses!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Liu Xuan said word by word: "If the reckless army is really rushing overnight, then tomorrow morning, our army will go out of the city to meet the enemy!" Hearing this, Liu Ying was startled, and said with a pale face: "General, the enemy army has 5,000 people, and it is also a well-equipped and brave Beijing army, we only have about 3,000 people, and most of them are wounded soldiers, this battle is ...... How about this battle

What's the fight? ”

Liu Xuan raised his hand, grasped the hilt of the saber under his side, and said: "In tomorrow's battle, the enemy you encounter, you will be killed!" Soldiers of our army, there are those who have escaped from the battle, kill! There is a fear of the enemy not the former, kill! If you don't save someone who dies, kill! ”

His three kills in a row made Liu Ying's body tremble, and he didn't dare to say more.

Liu Xuan is not a brave and unscrupulous man, he will make mistakes, and sometimes he will lack strategic vision, but it does not mean that he will not fight. Liu Xuan also has his own calculations.

If the enemy army rushes to Thorn Yang overnight, and when they reach Thorn Sun, they will definitely be exhausted, which is their own advantage. The enemy army is only 5,000 people, but they dare to drive straight in, straight to the thorn sun, obviously the enemy has become a proud soldier, thinking that against their own remnants, they can easily win, their own initiative to attack, can be surprised, attack it unprepared, hit the enemy army by surprise,

This is your own two advantages. After today's battle, the morale of the side is now low, and there are many wounded soldiers, but there is one point, the families of the soldiers, more or less have died tragically in the hands of the Mang army, like Deng Chen, who is bent on slashing the enemy and avenging his family

There are not a few, waiting on the battlefield, seeing the reckless army, and the enemy meeting, the morale of these soldiers can soar all of a sudden, which is their own three advantages.

These three advantages are the confidence of Liu Zhuo to dare to take the initiative. In addition, the current situation forced him to take the initiative.

Once they choose to retreat, the morale of the soldiers will become lower and lower, and then they can only retreat again and again, and the final result will be either an internal mutiny or a disintegration.

As Deng Chen and Liu Ji said, they urgently need a victory now to boost their morale.

At the same time, there is also an urgent need for a victory to show the people of Nanyang that the Zhutian Capital is still alive and still has combat strength, so as to win the continued support of the people and attract more people to join the army.

Whether or not you can regroup and make a comeback will be a battle here.

For all these reasons, Liu Xuan chose what he thought was the most correct path, war! And it's not a defensive battle, it's a battle that takes the initiative.

Early the next morning, the spies of the Zhutian Capital Department kept entering and leaving the city like a marquee, and continuously transmitted the movements of the 5,000 vanguard Jingshi army back to Jianyang. These 5,000 Beijing division troops really marched overnight and arrived in Jianyang. Xiao Chang'an gathered in a battle, in the eyes of the Jingshi army, the Zhutian capital has been completely defeated by them, and the ones who fled are only a small group of remnants of the defeated generals, so there is no need to worry, and then chase

In a battle, 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and no matter who leads it, it is a sure victory.

This vanguard army of 5,000 people only wanted to arrive in Jianyang as soon as possible and kill the remnants of the Zhutian Army in the city, so that they could make great achievements and ask for rewards from the imperial court.

Therefore, there was no need for the general to lead the troops to mobilize, and the soldiers were all willing to march overnight.

In their opinion, it seems that as long as their army reaches Jianyang, they can wipe out all the rebels in the city.

After the 5,000 Beijing division army approached Jianyang, it stands to reason that they should have set up camp five miles away from the city, but after the 5,000 Beijing division army arrived at five miles from Jianyang, they had no intention of stopping the march at all, and continued to move forward.

It wasn't until it was less than three miles away from Jianyang that the 5,000 Beijing division finally stopped advancing and set up camp.

Camping in less than three miles is equivalent to putting the camp in the face of the Zhutian Army.

At such a close distance, the defenders of the city could reach the camp in the blink of an eye as long as they attacked the city. But looking at the posture of the Jingshi army, they are not afraid that your Zhutian army will come out of the city to attack, but they are afraid that you will not go out of the city.

The attitude of the Jingshi Army undoubtedly greatly angered the Zhutian Army in the city. Liu Xuan ordered troops in the barracks and prepared to go out of the city to fight. Before the soldiers began, Liu Xiu and Liu Boji came to the school military field one after another. Liu Xiu changed into clean clothes, and at the same time put on armor, it was obvious that he was ready to go into battle with the army. Liu Jiu frowned secretly, and was about to speak to Liu Xiu, Liu Boji carried a large package, walked to the point platform, and put it

Hand it to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Bo Ji, what is this?" ”

"Big brother, open it and take a look!"

Liu Xuan took the package suspiciously and opened it, and it turned out that there were four flags stacked inside.

He picked up the top flag, unfolded it, and looked at it, the flag was embroidered with a red bird totem, shaped like a phoenix, this is the Vermilion Bird, next to the totem of the Vermilion Bird, there is also embroidered a big 'Han' character.

After seeing this big flag, Liu Jiu put it aside and hurriedly took the second one. The second flag is embroidered with the Xuanwu totem, and similarly, there is still a big 'Han' character embroidered next to the totem.

The third flag is embroidered with the green dragon, and the fourth flag is embroidered with the white tiger, without exception, the totem is embellished, and the word "Han" is the core.

Liu Boji embroidered these four flags overnight, which was also inspired by Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said that the reason why his side lost so badly was because of the lack of cohesion.

Why is there a lack of cohesion? Although the Zhutiandu Department shouted the slogan of recovering the Han Dynasty, there was not a single Han flag in the ranks, as if selling dog meat with a sheep's head.

Based on this, Liu Boji specially found Xu Xiling and the female dependents in the army, and everyone embroidered the four Han army flags overnight.

After looking at the four big flags sent by Xiaomei, Liu Jiu immediately understood what she meant. Without saying a word, he asked four flagpoles to be prepared and hung up together.

As four flagpoles with the banner of the Han army were erected on the platform, the soldiers below finally saw what it was.

There is a red bird in front, a Xuanwu in the back, a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, and the most eye-catching on each banner is the big 'Han' character.

People's originally gray faces invariably bloomed with brilliance, and they didn't know who it was, but they were the first to raise their arms and shout: "Big Han—"

Immediately afterwards, more than 3,000 soldiers in the audience shouted in unison, raising their arms and shouting: "Dahan! Great Han! Great Han - "Previously, the Zhu Tianjun rarely called themselves the Han Army, but from this day on, the Zhu Tianjun began to call themselves the Han Army.
