Chapter 587: Stop

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

Wu Han led his army to victory in Wei County and Qinghe County, pacified the rebel army, and consolidated the rear for Liu Xiu, who also carried out the second great feudal marquis.

This incident caused a lot of sensation at the time, and it also made it clear to everyone in the world that Liu Xiu was not the one who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and Liu Xiu was really generous enough to the heroes under his command.

Not long after this incident, Deng Ye, the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, and Yu Kuang, the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, both came to vote.

Deng Ye and Yu Kuang are not simple, they are both one of the heroes of the capture of Chang'an.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu won a great victory in Kunyang in Yingchuan, and the world was shaken, Deng Ye and Yu Kuang saw the opportunity and took more than 100 people to rise up in Nanxiang, Yu County, in response to the Han army.

There are only about 100 people, which is not enough to do anything, but the eloquence of the two of them is good, and they actually persuaded the county order of Xixian County at that time, so as to control the county soldiers of Xixian County.

Based on the county soldiers of Xixian County, the two of them implemented the national policy of the Qin State that year, attacked from afar, attacked from afar, and plundered land everywhere, and their strength became stronger and stronger. When the strength of the two of them was strong enough, and there were enough soldiers and horses, they led the army to attack Wuguan. At that time, it was Zhu Meng, the minister of Xinmang, who was guarding Wuguan, Deng Ye and Yu Kuang fought hard to defeat Zhu Meng's army, and Zhu Meng surrendered to the two of them. After taking Wuguan, the two continued to advance northward, attacking the new mang's minister Song Gang, and the battle was very fierce

Fang fought three times in a row, Deng Ye and Yu Kuang won three great victories in a row, and finally succeeded in killing Song Gang. Later, the two led the army and went straight to Chang'an, and captured Huxian near Chang'an in one fell swoop.

For Deng Ye and Yu Kuang, who suddenly appeared, the Xinmang court was shocked, and Wang Mang appointed nine generals with tiger characters in a row, collectively known as the Nine Tigers, to face Deng Ye and Yu Kuang.

It's just that Wang Mang is suspicious and stingy.

He was afraid that the Nine Tigers would rebel against him, so Wang Mang detained the Nine Tigers' family in the capital. He wanted the Nine Tigers to lead the army into battle desperately, but he was reluctant to spend money, so he only gave each of the Nine Tigers a thousand dollars.

You must know that the price of goods at that time was extremely high, and a thousand dollars were not enough to do anything, and Wang Mang was not without money, when the Green Forest Army captured Chang'an and occupied the palace, more than 600,000 catties of gold were found in the palace.

The Nine Tigers are not high-spirited, and Deng Ye and Yu Kuang are in the stage of continuous victory and morale, and there is not much suspense in the battle between the two sides, and the Nine Tigers are defeated.

The final result was that four of the nine tigers were scattered, fled to the unknown, and their whereabouts were unknown, two of the tigers were transferred back to the imperial court, so that Wang Mang cut off his head, and the remaining three tigers, gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, and retreated to Weikou Jingshi Cang to defend to the death.

It can be said that Deng Ye and Yu Kuang greatly consumed Wang Mang's troops, and made great contributions to the successful capture of Chang'an by the Green Forest Army.

After Liu Xuan became the head of Chang'an, he did not forget the exploits of the two of them, and named Deng Ye as the general of the Fu Han Dynasty and Yu Kuang as the general of the Fu Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu was very happy about Deng Ye and Yu Kuang's coming, and met them in person.

Speaking of which, Liu Xiu is really not familiar with Deng Ye and Yu Kuang, they took refuge in Liu Xuan late, and they have always been in Chang'an, and Liu Xiu was under house arrest in Wancheng at the time, and later went to Luoyang to be the captain of Sili.

Although I haven't met a few times, I've heard of each other for a long time. When they saw Liu Xiu at this time, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts. The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in unison: "The grass people meet Your Majesty!" ”

Their official positions were sealed by Liu Xuan, and now Liu Xuan has been killed by the Red Mei Army, and the first court has died.

Liu Xiu founded the Jianwu Imperial Court in Hebei, and he was the official of the first imperial court, of course, he was not counted here, and they could only call themselves grass people. Liu Xiu got up, bypassed the table, walked up to the two of them, helped them up with his own hands, and said, "I am very relieved to see the two generals come to vote!" The beginning and the construction of the martial arts, all of them were Han families, originally a family, and now the two generals came to Luoyang, which should be

Official reinstatement is. ”

The implication is that Deng Ye will continue to be the general of the Fu Han Dynasty here, and Yu Kuang will continue to be the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, and even the marquis titles of the two of them will be retained.

Hearing this, Deng Ye and Yu Kuang were both excited, their noses were sour, and they almost cried on the spot. The two of them knelt down again, kowtowed to Liu Xiu, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty Longen, Weichen is unforgettable!" Liu Xiu smiled and helped the two of them up again. Deng Ye and Yu Kuang did not come empty-handed, he also brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, and most of these 20,000 soldiers and horses were their old subordinates, brave and good at fighting, experienced, and their combat power should not be underestimated

Look.

Now that Liu Xiu is employing people, how can he not value these two generals who are good at fighting.

During the conversation, Liu Xiu did not mention the grievances between himself and Liu Xuan, nor did he complain to Deng Ye and Yu Kuang about Liu Xuan's not, he just asked how the two of them were doing after the fall of Chang'an.

Most of the ministers of the first court came from Jingzhou, the Red Eyebrow army captured Chang'an, the court was destroyed, and most of the old ministers chose to run back to their hometown in Jingzhou, using their prestige to gather a group of subordinates to manage their own forces.

Deng Ye and Yu Kuang were no exception, and they took their old subordinates back to their hometown, Xixian.

Recently, Cen Peng was ordered by Liu Xiu to recover Jingzhou, and some separatist forces in Jingzhou chose to surrender one after another.

Deng Ye and Yu Kuangyi discussed, he took 20,000 brothers, and wanted to occupy an area in Xixian County for a long time, it was impossible, instead of facing Liu Xiu with a sword, it was better to take refuge in Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu has always been virtuous and benevolent, and the two of them have no old grudges with Liu Xiu, so they took the initiative to take refuge, and Liu Xiu would not be embarrassed for them.

As a result, not only did they expect it correctly, but Liu Xiu's courtesy to the two of them far exceeded what they originally imagined.

In the hearts of Deng Ye and Yu Kuang, they were naturally grateful to Liu Xiu, and at this time, the two of them also made up their minds to pay attention, and they would be subordinate to Liu Xiu in the future.

The two of them told Liu Xiu what happened to them during this time, and then talked about the situation in Jingzhou in detail.

At present, Jingzhou can be regarded as one of the most complicated states in the country.

The old ministers have gone to Jingzhou one after another to establish their own separatist forces, which is already chaotic enough, but Jingzhou's local heroes are strong, and from time to time they rise up, occupying the king.

This situation is becoming more and more intense, and there are often three or four different separatist forces coexisting in a land of hundreds of miles, hostile to each other, but counterbalancing each other.

Liu Xiu didn't go to Jingzhou, but just listening to the two of them, he felt that his head was big.

A few days after Deng Ye and Yu Kuang defected to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu built the Sheji Altar in the southern suburbs of Luoyang.

In the same month that Liu Xiu built the Sheji Altar in Luoyang, the Red Mei Army that occupied Chang'an finally couldn't hold on.

The main thing is that the Red Eyebrow Army has long been out of food. Originally, the power of the Red Eyebrow Army was spread all over Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and food was never a problem.

But in order to capture Chang'an, the Red Mei Army poured out, causing most of their forces in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou to collapse.

Even if there are still forces loyal to the Red Mei Army, it will be difficult to transport grain to Chang'an, after all, there are still Liu Yong's forces and Liu Xiu's forces in between.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are in Chang'an, and the daily food consumption is astronomical. In order to raise food, the Red Mei Army searched the Sanfu area I don't know how many times, and the people of Sanfu were all over the field.

The people can't survive, so they can only run. At this time, Deng Yu had led the army to occupy Xiayang, which is now Hancheng in Shaanxi Province, which is about 400 miles away from Chang'an.

People heard that Deng Yu was strict in governing the army, strict in military discipline, and caring for the people, so the people of Sanfu ran to Xia Yang and went to seek refuge in Deng Yu.

The people received by Deng Yujun can reach thousands of people a day. Deng Yu and Liu Xiu are classmates, and their personalities do have many similarities.

Treating the people, Deng Yu was very sympathetic, and led the army to personally inspect the local people's conditions whenever he went to a place, and when he saw hungry people, he took out military rations and distributed them to the people.

Deng Yu treats the people well, and naturally he is deeply loved by the people. Deng Yu's frame is often surrounded by a lot of gray-haired old men and babbling children.

Even Liu Xiu, who was far away in Luoyang, heard about Deng Yu's situation, so he specially wrote several letters of praise to him.

The people of Sanfu, the dead died, the fleeing, gradually, the prosperous Sanfu area was now about to become a dead place.

Hundreds of thousands of red-eyebrow troops really can't survive in Chang'an. The extremely hungry soldiers at the bottom were even in Chang'an City, searching for the people, killing them, and eating them. Several leaders of the Red Mei Army, Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu, Mo Yan and others got together to discuss, and agreed that Chang'an could not stay any longer, and they had to lead the army to withdraw, otherwise, the whole army would be starved alive

Died in Chang'an City.

However, the question of where to retreat is now a question. Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu and others had different opinions, each held their own opinions, and they could not settle down.

According to the opinions of Xu Xuan, Feng'an, Xie Lu and others, their own side must retreat to the east, and the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan are all in the east, which is where their foundation is, and if they want to retreat, they should retreat to the east.

But Fan Chong disagreed with their proposition, to be precise, it was Mo Yan who thought that it was unrealistic to retreat to the east now, and it was impossible for either Liu Xiu or Liu Yong to let them go.

The only way out is to retreat westward. Fan Chong agreed with Mo Yan's analysis, so in the meeting, he always advocated leading the army west.

There were disagreements within the Red Eyebrow Army, and there were also disagreements on Deng Yu's side. At present, Deng Yu's army has approached Chang'an, and the generals under his command have advocated entering the customs and taking Chang'an in one go. However, Deng Yu did not accept the opinions of his subordinates, in Deng Yu's opinion, although his own number is large, but most of them are the people who came to defect, and there is no combat effectiveness

It is really not suitable to go head-to-head with the Red Eyebrow Army.

Deng Yu was reluctant to march to Chang'an, the generals below were anxious, and Liu Xiu on the Luoyang side was also anxious.

Luoyang.

When Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were having dinner together, they received a battle report from the Western Front, and Deng Yu led the army to conquer the north.

Seeing this battle report, Liu Xiu frowned and slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table. Yin Lihua saw that Liu Xiu's face was not good, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" But something happened to Duke Deng? ”

Liu Xiu casually handed the battle report to Yin Lihua. The latter took a look, smiled, and said, "Deng Gong conquered the Northland, this is good news!" ”

What is the place in Beidi, which is the modern Gansu Province. Deng Yu and Chang'an were already close at hand, but he did not lead his troops to fight Chang'an, but led his troops to the west.

Liu Xiu thought about it, and understood Deng Yu's thoughts. Chang'an has hundreds of thousands of Red Mei troops, and Deng Yu is reluctant to lead the army to fight the enemy.

He sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Zhonghua is too cautious! Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, called the chamberlain, and wrote a letter to Deng Yu.

"To pacify Xijing (Chang'an), Situ is Yao, and the red-eyed thief army is Ji. The people of Xijing are panicked and cannot return, and Situ should seize the opportunity to enter the thief army to maintain the hearts of the people. ”

After writing this letter, Liu Xiu handed it over to Zhang Kun and asked him to send an internal servant to the north where Deng Yu was located. After Zhang Kun retreated, Liu Xiu smiled bitterly: "I hope that Zhonghua can listen to my advice." ”

The relationship between Liu Xiu and Deng Yu is too familiar, don't look at Deng Yu's usual softness, in fact, he is very stubborn, and it is difficult for others to change what he recognizes. Yin Lihua held Liu Xiu's hand and said with a smile: "Duke Deng has always been steady, and Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. ”
