Chapter Twenty-Seven: Princely Generals
It is not a trivial matter for twenty cities to deploy operations at the same time, and besides, it is still his own people, Liu Xiu quietly met with all the generals of Xihai County, because he must know whether these people are still loyal to him with the change of time.
The result of the trial was gratifying, and the fake news deliberately released by Liu Xiu did not reach Zhai Yi's ears.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Every time he met with the generals of Xihai County, Liu Xiu did not avoid Wang Sunqing.
"I will definitely know what I should know, and I will choose to forget what I shouldn't know, even if I know."
Looking at Wang Sunqing's words and deeds, Liu Xiu had to admit that this person was indeed a very good talent.
Since the centralization of power in the Western Han Dynasty, the world has been divided into fourteen states, of which Sili is the centralized power, and Hedong County is under its name.
Liu Xiu has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and his mission is to capture Xie County and its surrounding seven county seats, while Zhai Yi and the others are also in charge of the seven county seats, and the remaining six will depend on Liu Xin's family.
Bumpy all the way to Xie County, Liu Xiu became the shopkeeper, he handed over all the rights to Wang Sunqing, as the name suggests, it was to test Wang Sunqing, but in fact, Liu Xiu had no confidence in leading the troops to capture the city for the first time.
Wang Sunqing is a smart man, and throughout the strategic deployment, he often throws bricks and quotes allusions to let Liu Xiu decide some of the most important things. As a person in the new century, adhering to the country's thousands of years of cultural heritage, Liu Xiu did not disgrace his ancestors, he often drew inferences from one another, and some of the pain points pointed out did not even take into account by Wang Sunqing.
In these days, three waves of messengers have arrived, pinching their fingers and calculating, and the appointed time will be the day after tomorrow.
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, I don't know who said this nonsense, but tonight Hedong County is destined to be a river of blood.
The hot county town is full of fire. Among the corpses all over the ground were enemy soldiers and ordinary people, Liu Xiu looked around with the head of the county, but he had mixed feelings and thoughts.
"Your heart is upset?"
"How so?" Liu Xiu sat on the steps and looked at Wang Sunqing in a wheelchair.
"If your heart wasn't messed up, you wouldn't be here to talk to me. The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the heart can reach the Quartet without barriers. ”
Others were fighting outside, but Liu Xiu and Wang Sunqing drank all night in the county office, and the final result was that neither of them listened to each other's words.
Compared with Liu Chong's rebellion some time ago, Zhai Yi's momentum can be described as shaking. He took advantage of the fact that the imperial court had not yet reacted, and passed on the message to denounce Wang Mang, engraved the book in various states and counties, and emphasized that he had the blood book of Emperor Ping in his hand, and severely denounced Wang Mang for poisoning Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, defrauding the regent title, blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and plotting against the Han family and other heinous crimes.
Establish the Son of Heaven and reward the title.
Zhai Yi established Liu Xin as the Son of Heaven, the former Dongping King Liu Kuang (Liu Xin's son) as the crown prince, he himself served as the general of Sima Zhutian, the former Dongping Wang's teacher Su Long was the prime minister, and the former lieutenant Gao Dan was the imperial historian. Liu Yu, Liu Huang, Liu Xiu, and Chen Feng served as four generals before and after, calling on the people of the world to help the Han family and work together to eradicate Wang Mang, a thief who stole the country, and the world shook in an instant.
Whether it is ancient or modern, there are always some people who feel that they were born at the wrong time so hard, and the rise of Liu Xin and Zhai Yi has given them hope and dawn.
"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning." This famous sentence of rebellion shouted by Chen Sheng became popular inexplicably, and the people of Hedong County were emotionally excited, enthusiastically participated, and fantasized about the beautiful life of their heroes.
From Hedong County to Jingzhaoyin, there is also a Zuo Feng Ling in the middle, Zhai Yi's dispatch speed is very fast, Liu Xiu was appointed as the vanguard general, leading an army of 10,000 has entered Zuo Feng Ling.
Along the way, many county towns, either because of insufficient troops or because of blood books, all closed doors, which further stimulated Zhai Yi's arrogance.
On this day, Zhao Peng and Huo Hong were self-proclaimed generals, each with thousands of people to vote, and the other teams of dozens or hundreds of people were countless, and the number of Zhai Yi's army rushed to more than 100,000 in a short period of time.
When there are more people, food and grass will naturally become a problem. The anti-reckless coalition army first politely borrowed food, the other party was willing to be a good citizen, and marked a long-term IOU, and the other party refused to rob directly, fortunately, Zhai Yi's bottom line is still there, except for food, but all soldiers who dare to rob money and people will be beheaded.
After Wang Mang, who was in Chang'an, learned the news that Zhai Yi was calling and the counties were not fighting, not only did he not scold, but a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Dare to use public opinion to deal with yourself, no one in the world knows, in terms of the ability to control public opinion, no one dares to admit the first if you recognize the second."
It is said that two years ago, Wang Mang planned to seal himself with nine tins, and the imperial court received 487,572 letters.
What did more than 480,000 Shangshu mean in the current dynasty? At present, the population of the whole country is only tens of millions, the vast majority of them are illiterate, and the literate people are only millions, and in the entire Jingzhaoyin, the total number of intellectuals who can read books will not be more than 480,000, that is to say, almost all the ordinary people who have the ability to read books have participated in this operation, not to mention the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and there are 902 princes and princes and princes who support Wang Mang to add nine tins, accounting for almost all of them.
"Big brother, this Zhai Yi really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, I am willing to be the vanguard of the army and kill him with a river of blood." Wang Yi is Wang Mang's younger brother, and the official worships the Taibao.
"Don't worry, I'm here to see if there are still those who are not afraid of death who dare to come with him."
Singing and singing a full set, in the days that followed, Wang Mang pretended to be very frightened, couldn't eat, prayed in the temple day and night with his children, and wrote an article in imitation of "The Great Message", explaining that his throne was temporary, and he would definitely return the throne to his children in the future.
The journey was smooth, and suddenly heard the news again, Zhai Yi and Liu Xin celebrated excitedly for several days, but the sense of crisis in Liu Xiu's heart became stronger and stronger, and he immediately summoned Wang Sunqing. After a simple exchange, the cognition of the two is the same, this is a set, who goes and who dies.
Liu Xiu didn't want to have an accident with the anti-reckless coalition army that finally looked a little bit this time, and he was bombed out several times when he asked to see Zhai Yi to state his opinion, and he was forced to see Liu Xin in desperation, but he was still bombed out, but because of this incident, he offended Zhai Yi and was put into the blacklist.
Unable to get the trust of Zhai Yi and Liu Xin, Liu Xiu was unwilling to let his people die, so he began to operate privately, quietly contacted the generals of Xihai County, and warned them not to go to war at will, to shirk if they can, and once the war is chaotic, they will immediately get closer to themselves and be ready to break through at any time.
