Chapter 108: Liu Xiu and Wang Mang
The body of Liu Xiu, the suspected Guangwu Emperor, decomposed and dissipated, leaving only a few broken bones and a torn dragon robe.
"Huh?"
"There's a line written here!"
Gao Shun's eyes were sharp, and he found a line of small words inside the coffin, which he could see in this dimly lit place.
"What's on it?"
Gao Shun lay on the edge of the coffin and read slowly: "I, born as a child of fate, was ordered by the way of heaven, to eliminate the reincarnation of the rebellious Wang Mang, to kill demons, to sweep away the universe, to prosper the Han, and to do what I want." ”
"Now, after his death, he will continue to benefit the country and revitalize the nation.
After reading the two paragraphs, the three of them had different expressions.
Gao Shun didn't understand what was written on it at all?
Xu Shu was puzzled, why did Liu Xiu call himself the son of destiny? Why is Wang Mang called a reincarnation rebel by him? What the hell is slaying demons?
Only Ma Chao, with a gleam in his eyes, he didn't expect that Liu Xiu was the son of fate, no wonder he had deep luck and good fortune.
In later generations, based on his strange experience, he was given the nickname: Archmage.
In the battle of Kunyang, Wang Yi and Wang Xun led 420,000 troops to press the border, and the Green Forest Army immediately looked at the wind and surrendered.
As a result, meteorite rain suddenly fell from the sky, and the Wangyi military camp was completely destroyed, and the soldiers of the new dynasty were all frightened, lying on the ground and not daring to move.
At this time, Liu Xiu, who had just moved to the rescue, took 10,000 soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation to kill them, and the morale of the new dynasty army plummeted, trampling on each other, and the main general Wang Yi also died in the chaos.
The retreating new Korean army was again met with lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and rivers swelling, drowning many deserters, and their morale plummeted for thousands of miles, and they were unable to form an army.
Later, his brother Liu Xuan was killed by the first emperor Liu Xuan, he was chased and killed by Wang Lang and other separatist forces in Hebei, the commander of the light pole, all the way to the Hutuo River, there was no boat, but the river happened to freeze, Liu Xiu stepped on the ice, but his entourage fell into the river, so after escaping, began to gather people, subdued the bronze horse army, the red eyebrow army, defeated the first emperor, and ruled the world.
Throughout his legendary life, it seems that every critical moment when his life is at stake, he will always encounter all kinds of unbelievable things to help him tide over difficulties, so later generations jokingly called him "Archmage" and "Son of the Plane".
Similarly, Wang Mang was described by the words engraved in the coffin as reincarnation rebellion, what is reincarnation rebellion?
There should be two parts of interpretation here, namely reincarnation and rebellion, that is, Wang Mang should be a reincarnated person, similar to a traverser; And rebellion means that he rebelled against the way of heaven and wanted to turn the world upside down with his own strength, and then the way of heaven was furious, so he sent down Liu Xiu, the son of fate, and eliminated him.
Wang Mang was born in 45 BC and Liu Xiu was born in 5 BC, and the difference between the two is 40 years old.
The interpretation of Wang Mang by later generations is also extremely interesting, Wang Mang died because of forced restructuring, and vigorously engaged in the socialist line, "fighting local tyrants and dividing land", realizing equality for all, opening state-owned enterprises, minting new coins, equalizing land, building credit, abolishing slaves and maids, and realizing the modern socialist division of labor.
The things he did were completely unimaginable and incomprehensible at the time, and of course ended in failure.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Mang's caliper, also known as the bronze caliper, is made of bronze, and the vernier caliper used by modern people looks about the same, and there are unearthed physical objects as evidence, and it is now a national first-class cultural relic.
In 1631, the French mathematician Vernier Peel invented the vernier caliper, which was 1600 years earlier than the vernier caliper.
Many things, although there are no main arguments, but from the side, they all show Wang Mang's reform, which coincides with many modern things.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao's eyes flashed strangely, and his eyes repeatedly searched the inside of the coffin, hoping to find some other things, but there was only a rotten skeleton left, except for that line of small words, there was nothing.
Gao Shun was stunned and said, "We, do you want to push the coffin open?" ”
Xu Shu and Ma Chao immediately shouted: "No! ”
Before their words fell, there was another gust of wind around them, and Ma Chaoqi said, "Huh? Haven't the illusions been completely shattered? ”
As he spoke, he continued to wield the war lance, trying to disperse the black mist, but there was not a trace of black mist, only the ubiquitous yin wind in the air.
"Could it be that the yin wind and the black fog are not the same illusion?"
Xu Shu shrank his head, realizing the seriousness of the problem, the skin on his body had goosebumps one after another, and his hairs stood on end, not like a fake.
The yin wind brought a sense of panic, and Gao Shun said: "Since there is nothing else here, why don't we go down and join Zhuge Xuan and Adi!" ”
"Good!"
Ma Chao was just about to act, but he didn't want the wind behind him to be loud, and the dangerous qi machine immediately locked him, Ma Chao had no time to defend in a hurry, so he could only reluctantly turn around and hold the lance in front of him.
"Bang!"
His whole body was violently attacked, as if he had been hit by a locomotive at full power.
"Poof!"
The man was still in mid-air, and he had already spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground, languishing.
"Young master!"
"General Ma!"
Gao Shun and Xu Shu were not attacked, they hurriedly ran over and helped Ma Chao up, Ma Chao spit out a mouthful of blood again, and his internal organs were severely damaged, he didn't expect that the enemy hidden in the darkness was so powerful that he seriously injured him with one blow!
"Run, run!"
Ma Chao screamed, and in the void, there was another drum, and the lethal qi machine locked on him again, and then crashed down.
"Bang!"
With a click, Ma Chao's whole body was blasted into the stone slab, he opened his mouth and spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, only to feel that the bones of his whole body were shattered, and he couldn't move at all!
"Damn!"
Ma Chao roared loudly and shouted, "Leave me alone, go quickly!" ”
"Impossible!"
Gao Shun yelled, holding a soul chasing gun, protecting Ma Chao's side, wanting to stop the attack in the dark, but as everyone knows, Gao Shun's move attracted the attention of something hidden in the dark.
"Hmph."
An ethereal cold snort appeared in their ears, one after another, with an echo, and they listened carefully, but they couldn't determine which direction the sound came from, as if there were them in all directions.
Gao Shun scolded angrily: "The rats who hide their heads and tails have a kind of fight!" ”
"Hmph."
The cold snort appeared again, this time it was heard very clearly, right next to it!
"Get out of the way!"
Xu Shu was the first to react, shouted, and kicked Gao Shun away, but he didn't have time to dodge himself, he was hit by the yin wind, and he was also smashed into the stone slab and fell into it deeply.
"Damn!"
Gao Shun slowly got up from the ground, at this time, he had no other way, turned his head, stared at the coffin, and planned to move it.
"No, you can't move the coffin!"
Ma Chao was seriously injured, his face was like gold paper, after discovering Gao Shun's movements, he wanted to stop him, it was obvious that the attack in the dark must be related to the coffin, and combined with the content of the small characters in the coffin, the other party wanted to force Gao Shun to move the coffin.
