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

Liu Xiu owed Liu Jun and said, "Boyu, I still need to think about this matter." ”

Liu Jun nodded, and did not force Liu Xiu to make a statement immediately, he said with a smile: "Uncle Wen can live in Lunu with peace of mind!" Jun is still the same sentence, as long as Jun is too guarded by Zhongshan, he will ensure the safety of Uncle Wen in Lunu! ”

After Liu Jun's repeated stays, Liu Xiu stayed in Lunu. On this day, Liu Xiu was reading a book in the study, and Liu Jun came to visit, and at the same time brought a person.

This person is not very old, only about twenty years old, tall and strong, born with a square head and big ears, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a dignified appearance, and a distinguished person.

After meeting, before Liu Xiu could speak, the young man stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "In Xia Geng Yi, the word Bozhao, meet Da Sima!" ”

Liu Xiu returned the salute, and then looked at Liu Jun in puzzlement. The latter said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Wen, Bo Zhao is the son of Lord Geng of Shanggu Taishou Geng!" ”

Shanggu County is located in Youzhou, Zhongshan County is located in Jizhou, although the two places belong to two states, but the north and south are adjacent, Liu Jun and Geng Guo as the two places of the Taishou, there are often contacts between them, personal relations are very close.

Back then, Geng Guo and Wang Mang's cousin Wang Ling were classmates, and because of this relationship, Geng Guo was appreciated by Wang Mang and was appointed as the Taishou of Shanggu.

Knowing that the sturdy young man in front of him was Geng Jing's son, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "It turned out to be Geng Gongzi, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Geng Yi Zhengse said: "This time, I came to Lunu to make a special trip to the lord!" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned, lord? Before he could react, Geng Yi suddenly knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said loudly: "The lord is above, please accept Geng Yi's worship!" ”

Geng Yi came suddenly, and worshiped even more suddenly, catching Liu Xiu off guard. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and picked Geng Yi up from the ground, his face showing a look of confusion and incomprehension.

He and Geng Yi met for the first time, how did he become Geng Yi's lord? Liu Xiu's mind is now full of inexplicability.

After everyone sat down, Geng Yi first told in detail how he came to Lunu.

Geng Yi's father, Geng Jing, originally had a bad impression of Liu Xuan.

At the beginning, Liu Xuan was proclaimed emperor in Nanyang, and he sent a lot of envoys to various states and counties to appease them, and some of them came to Shanggu County in Youzhou.

Don't look at Liu Xuan at that time, not long after he became emperor, the strength of the Han army was not strong, but Liu Xuan's envoy was very bullish, and said to Geng Guo that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had succeeded to the throne, and the first one could be restored.

This means that if you surrender to the Imperial Court now, you can still retain your official title.

At that time, the Xinmang court and the first court were fighting fiercely, and Geng was unwilling to offend the envoys of the first court.

Since the other party had already made a promise of 'reinstating the title of the first to descend', Geng Guo didn't think much about it, so he handed over the seal of his Taishou to the envoy, and made a gesture of being willing to return to the first court.

But what he never expected was that after the envoy received Geng's seal, he didn't plan to return it, and he didn't plan to count the promise of 'reinstating the title of the first one'. Geng is in a hurry, there is no seal, what is he still too guarded?

Geng Guo took out the envoy who rebelled and turned his face and denied people, but the Gong Cao Kou of the Taigu County Government did not do it.

Remember this person, this is an amazing talent.

At that time, Kou Sui took a group of county troops and surrounded the envoy's residence, and then he carried a sword and led the soldiers to meet the envoy.

The envoy didn't expect the Taigu County Government to dare to treat him like this, and he asked Kou Sui, are you threatening me?

Kou Sui said righteously: "If people have no faith, they will not stand, if they have no faith, they will not succeed, if there is no faith, if there is no business, they will not prosper, and if the country has no faith, they will decline!" The country has just been established, and if it has to lose its trust in others and the world, how can it last long? ”

The messenger was dumbfounded and silent. In front of the envoy and in the name of the envoy, Kou Sui summoned Geng Jing. After Geng Guo came, the envoy had no choice but to return the collected Taishou seal ribbon to Geng Guan.

This incident has always made Geng Guo lingering, and it is strange that his impression of Liu Xuan can be good. If the messenger does not speak of credibility, then can the person who sent the messenger be credible?

Later, the Han army broke through Chang'an, and Wang Mang was killed, which made Geng Jinghou afraid. At the beginning, he offended Liu Xuan's envoy, but now that Liu Xuan has killed Wang Mang and become a real emperor, will he hate himself?

In the first two years (24 A.D.), in February, Liu Xuanding was the capital of Chang'an. When he heard the news, he immediately sent his son Geng Yi to Chang'an to see Liu Xuan with a gift, and to put it bluntly, he went to show his loyalty to Liu Xuan.

Geng Yi and two county officials, Sun Cang and Wei Bao, as well as dozens of entourages, took the generous gifts they had prepared, set off from Shanggu, and went all the way south to Chang'an. As a result, a few days after they left Shanggu County, Wang Lang was proclaimed emperor in Handan.

Wang Lang is a person who has no big skills, but his ability to incite momentum is very powerful.

When he first became emperor, there were very few people in the counties who responded to him, but Wang Langyu secretly sent many of his subordinates to spread rumors that the counties of Hebei had submitted to him.

Geng Yi and the others also heard such rumors, and Geng Yi scoffed at it, but the two county officials under him believed it.

Sun Cang and Wei Bao are calculating, what else is going to Chang'an, go directly to Handan! It is better to see Liu Xuan than to see Wang Lang.

The two of them told Geng Yi their thoughts, and Geng Yi was furious and reprimanded the two of them fiercely. Sun Cang and Wei Bao didn't say much at the time, and that night, the two of them secretly ran away and went straight to Handan to join Wang Lang.

The next morning, Geng Yi didn't see Sun and Wei, and he immediately realized that it was not good, and these two must have gone to Wang Lang secretly. ran away from two county officials, but it's nothing, the key is that Sun Cang and Wei Bao are very clear that their father supports Liu Xuan, and when they get to Wang Lang's side, as long as they tell Wang Lang about this matter, Wang Lang will definitely not give up, and it will not be good.

Wang Lang will send troops to attack Shanggu.

At this time, Geng Yi heard that the road to Chang'an was blocked, so he simply didn't go to Chang'an, and turned around and walked back. Passing through Lunu, he stopped by to visit Taishou Liu Jun, and it was through Liu Jun that he knew that Liu Xiu was here.

In the past, Geng Yi admired Liu Xiu, and praised the battle of Kunyang led by Liu Xiu, and now when he heard that Liu Xiu was in Lunu, he immediately wanted to defect, and Liu Jun said it, and the two hit it off.

Liu Jun knows very well that relying on the strength of Zhongshan County alone, it is impossible to be Wang Lang's opponent in any case, if he can bring Shanggu County over, even if his own strength is still inferior to Wang Lang, but at least he has the capital to fight with him.

Shanggu County has a Youzhou Raid that he envies very much. Although the number is not large, there are probably only more than 1,000 cavalry, but these 1,000 cavalry came to the battlefield, and their combat power was comparable to that of thousands of infantry.

After listening to Geng Yi's account of the causes and consequences, Liu Xiu was overjoyed, if Shanggu County could really stand on his side, it would undoubtedly greatly improve his strength. After talking about the previous things, Geng Yi Zhengse said: "Youzhou Raid, only Shanggu, Yuyang, Liaodong, and Liaoxi counties are the most courageous!" Shanggu Taishou is a subordinate Aweng, Yuyang Taishou and the lord are fellow villagers, if Shanggu and Yuyang join forces, they will be together

Help the lord, the lord will be able to break through Handan and cut off Wang Lang's head! ”

Liu Xiu nodded as he listened, a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he asked softly, "Bo Zhao, is Ling Zun Geng Taishou willing to help me?" ”

Geng Yi patted his chest and said confidently: "The family will definitely stand on the side of the lord and kill the anti-thief Wang Lang!" ”

Liu Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "In this way, I can go north with Bo Zhao." ”

Everyone present frowned, now the situation in Youzhou is still unclear, the lord is going north at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no danger. What's more, Geng Yi has just defected, and the lord has too much trust in him.

Feng Yi frowned and said, "Think twice, my lord!" ”

Liu Xiu laughed on his back, waved his hand disapprenously, then pointed at Geng Yi, and said heroically: "Bo Zhao is the master of my northward journey!" ”

When Geng Yi heard this, he also smiled and nodded again and again.

According to Liu Xiu's plan, he was going to go north with Geng Yi to Shanggu and Yuyang two counties, and meet with Shanggu Taishou Geng and Yuyang Taishou Peng Pet respectively.

Yuyang is too guarded by Peng Pet, and he is indeed Liu Xiu's Nanyang hometown.

Peng Pet is a native of Wancheng, born in the family of the eunuch, his father Peng Hong was a very famous loyal minister at that time, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Peng Hong served as a Taishou in Yuyang, and later Wang Mang usurped the throne, Peng Hongning died without surrendering Wang Mang, and was finally killed by Wang Mang.

is also a fellow countryman, so he naturally has a natural sense of closeness, and Liu Xiu feels that he still has a lot of hope for winning over Peng Pet.

But before Liu Xiu could go north with Geng Yi, Wang Lang's army suddenly attacked. Liu Xiu's scruples are right, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Liu Xiu's hiding in Lunu is still known to Wang Lang after all. Wang Lang, who learned of this, was furious, and immediately mobilized his army to conquer Zhongshan County, which dared to take in Liu Xiu

。

Zhongshan County is not a big county, its predecessor was Zhongshan Kingdom, with twelve counties under its jurisdiction, and these twelve counties are not monolithic, some support Wang Lang, some support the county government, and some do not express their position.

At present, Wang Lang sent troops to attack Zhongshan in a big way, and those county governments that did not express their stance before have fallen to Wang Lang, and the county towns that were willing to listen to the command of the county government in the past have now begun to waver.

Hearing the news of the attack of Wang Lang's army, Liu Jun came to Liu Xiu as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with him.

Liu Xiu asked, "Boyu, how many available soldiers do we have now?" ”

Liu Jun Zhengse said: "There are two thousand county soldiers, and there are ...... county soldiers" Speaking of this, he paused, and now he doesn't know how many county soldiers he can transfer as a taishou. Liu Xiu secretly calculated in his heart that now the counties are willing to obey Liu Jun's orders and send county soldiers to aid the county government, it is not yet known, so the reinforcements from the counties cannot be counted on by their own side, that is to say, what they can mobilize at present is in Lunu City

Two thousand county troops.

It is reported that Wang Lang sent as many as 20,000 or 30,000 troops this time, and they did not come all the way.

Some of them are from Handan, and the other part is from Zhuojun. The main general of the enemy army on this road in Zhuojun is Peng Ning.

The main general of the enemy army on this road in Handan is Yan Feng, a general under Wang Lang. Interestingly, among Yan Feng's generals, there were Sun Cang and Wei Bao, who had defected from Geng Yi before.

Because Zhuo County is close to Zhongshan County, the soldiers and horses of Peng Ning were the first to enter Zhongshan.

Some of the soldiers and horses under Peng Ning's command were his own army, and some were the county army of Zhuo County and the county soldiers of Raoyang, which were put together to form such a mixed army of more than 5,000 people.

Liu Xiu pondered for a while, and Zhengse said: "We can't give the two enemy forces a chance to converge, since the Pengning Department has now entered Zhongshan, we will fight Pengning first, and then Yan Feng!" ”

Liu Jun is just a civil official, he has no experience in leading troops to fight before, and now when he hears that Wang Lang's tens of thousands of troops are attacking, he is already panicked and confused, where is the idea? Hearing Liu Xiu's words, he hurriedly nodded and responded: "It's good that Uncle Wen is in charge!" After a pause, he cautiously asked, "Uncle Wen thinks that in this battle, is our side sure of winning?" ”
