Chapter 365: Revealed
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
That night, Liu Xiuyi held a banquet in the barracks, and before the banquet began, Wang Chang came with great interest. Although Wang Chang is also from the Green Forest Department, the generals on Liu Xiu's side have a good impression of Wang Chang.
Seeing Wang Chang coming, everyone welcomed him warmly. After a few glasses of wine, Wang Chang's face turned red, he turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, and asked, "Uncle Wen, I heard that you are going to lead the army into Runan?" ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "If nothing else, we will set off in the next few days." ”
Wang Chang smiled and asked, "Uncle Wen, how about I go with you to Runan to fight?" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was a little surprised and looked at Wang Chang puzzled. The latter smiled bitterly: "It's not interesting for me to stay in Yingchuan, there are many things that are not pleasing to the eye, and there are more people who are not pleasing to the eye." ”
In the battle of Kunyang, the Han army won a big victory, but Wang Chang was also disappointed with Wang Feng's performance.
Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that Cheng Guogong won't agree." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Xiu said: "Cheng Guogong is about to return to Nanyang and return to His Majesty, after Cheng Guogong leaves, there can be no one here in Yingchuan to preside over the overall situation, I think, the only person who can be entrusted with important tasks by Chengguo Gong is Brother Yan Qing." ”
Wang Chang blinked his eyes and laughed out loud, smiling bitterly. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Instead of staying in Yingchuan, I really want to go to the front with Uncle Wen to fight!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "There are many opportunities for everyone to fight side by side in the future." ”
Wang Chang asked curiously, "Uncle Wen doesn't plan to go back to Nanyang first?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "Time is pressing, and at the moment, recovering Runan is the top priority. ”
He didn't want to trouble his eldest brother, and he was very willing to go to Xinye in person to propose to the Yin family, which was more sincere, but this time, it would take more than half a month to say the least, and the current situation could not be delayed.
At the end of the battle of Kunyang, Runan has become a big piece of fat, and if you don't seize it, it won't be long before it falls into the hands of Liu Sheng.
Once Liu Sheng's power rises rapidly, he will inevitably not have ambitions, and he may not be able to give birth to what kind of chaos will be born in the future! Wang Chang thought about it carefully, and said: "Liu Shengqi is a person who is forbearant and ambitious, and he is by no means willing to succumb to others. When facing the Runan County Army and the county soldiers, it is inevitable to cooperate with Liu Sheng, but
Beware of him stabbing him in the back. Liu Xiu nodded as he listened, even if Wang Chang didn't remind him, he would be careful to watch out for Liu Sheng. But after Wang Chang finished speaking, he still raised the cup in his hand and said happily: "Thank you Brother Yan Qing for reminding me, for Liu Sheng, I will add more small."
Heart! ”
Wang Chang still knew Liu Xiu quite well, and when he heard him say this, he put his mind at ease, picked up the cup, and said: "Uncle Wen, I wish you success in advance, recover Runan in one fell swoop, and then make miraculous achievements!" ”
"Borrow Brother Yan Qing's auspicious words! Dry! "!"
The two of them drank the wine in their glasses.
The next day, Liu Xiu's department prepared for a day, and on the third day, Liu Xiu led 7,000 soldiers under his command to set off south and go straight to Runan. The route they took was to cross the pond water first and go to Wuyang at the junction of Yingchuan and Runan.
Wuyang is located in the territory of Yingchuan, very close to Kunyang, and there is a pool of water between them.
After the Battle of Kunyang, the Wuyang County Commander was the first to submit a surrender letter to the Han army. Now Liu Xiu led his troops to pass by Wuyang, and when he heard the news, the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Wuyang County took the county government officials and hundreds of county soldiers in the city to go out of the city to greet them.
In order to show respect and sincerity in defecting to the Han army, from the county commander and county lieutenant to the ordinary officials and soldiers, they all did not wear weapons, and all of them left the city empty-handed.
In this regard, the Han army is naturally very satisfied. After meeting with the county magistrate and county magistrate of Wuyang County, Liu Xiu also praised the two of them for their willingness to abandon the secret and surrender to the light.
In fact, everyone knows that because the Mang army was defeated in Kunyang, Wuyang was able to protect himself and surrender to the Han army, if the Mang army won in Kunyang, it was impossible for the Wuyang County Government to defect to the Han army.
Although there are twists and turns, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, but no one has broken it. After all, the Han army now has a little foundation and urgently needs to expand its power, and this period is far from the time to eliminate dissidents.
Liu Xiubu rested in Wuyang for a day, and the next day, the whole army left Wuyang, went south into the territory of Runan, and went straight to Xiping in Runan.
The county magistrate of Xiping County is named Han Lang, and the county lieutenant is named Wu Fang, these two people belong to Wang Mang's die-hard faction.
Upon learning the news that the Han army had entered Runan and was coming straight to Xiping, Wu Fang led the soldiers of Xiping County and went to Boting to set up an ambush first, hoping to catch the Han army by surprise.
Boting is located in the north of Xiping, a village of a few hundred people, Wu Fang thought that his ambush in Boting must be unexpected by the Han army, can be taken by surprise and hit the Han army.
But he never expected that the spies under Cho Qi had already infiltrated Xiping and knew the movements of the Xiping County soldiers well.
As soon as Wu Fanggang led the soldiers of Xiping County to ambush to Boting, the news had reached Liu Xiu's ears.
Looking at the report sent by the resignation period, Liu Xiu laughed out loud and said: "Obsessed, I don't know whether I live or die!" At present, Wang Mang is in danger, and Wu Fang and others still want to rely on their own strength to severely damage our army? The grasshopper shakes the tree and digs its own grave. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wu stepped out of the ranks and intervened and said: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and cut off the head of the Wu thief!" ”
Before Liu Xiu could speak, Wang Ba hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates are also willing to be the vanguard, conquer Boting, and annihilate all the reckless thieves!" ”
Ma Wu turned his head and glared at Wang Ba angrily, his two big ring eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he said in a condensed voice: "Wang Ba, you can't get along with Lao Tzu sincerely, right?" ”
"You are willing to be a pioneer, and I am also willing to be a pioneer, is this pioneer only you Ma Wu can do, and others can't do it?"
"You're using strong words!" "I think you're arrogant!"
"......" is here again! Everyone present, including Liu Xiu, all supported their foreheads.
When there is no war, the relationship between Ma Wu and Wang Ba can be a little stronger, even if they don't like each other, but they won't quarrel endlessly, as long as it's time to fight, these two will have to earn a head and blood in everything.
Liu Xiu looked at the two of them and said slowly: "I can give you two of you a thousand soldiers and horses, one to fight Boting, and the other to fight Xiping, who do you two plan to fight Boting, and who will fight Xiping?" ”
Hearing this, Ma Wu and Wang Ba suddenly stopped talking, looking at each other vigilantly, while secretly pondering in their hearts, whether it was the credit of beating Boting or the credit of Xiping.
Boting is just a village, and its weight is naturally far less heavy than that of Xiping, but there is the main force of Wu Fang's county soldiers in Boting, and there are no county soldiers in Xiping City, at best, there are some government servants and temporary conscripted strong men.
Ma Wu and Wang Ba couldn't tell which side was lighter and which side was heavier for a while, so neither of them spoke immediately, just waiting for the other party to express their position first, and then make a decision on their own.
Wang Ba's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to lead troops to fight Boting......"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Wu instinctively reacted and said urgently: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to fight Boting!" ”
Wang Ba immediately changed his words and said, "That's good! Boting, I'll give it to Brother Zizhang, and I'll go to Xiping. ”
Ma Wu blinked his eyes and looked at Wang Ba blankly, not expecting him to suddenly change his words. After being stunned for a while, he finally realized that he had been fooled, Wang Ba originally wanted to fight Xiping, but just now he deliberately said that he wanted to fight Boting.
But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late for Ma Wu to regret it. He gritted his teeth indignantly at Wang Ba, but there was nothing he could do about him.
Ma Wu's strength and prestige are higher than Wang Ba, but every time the two of them have a disagreement, they are Wang Ba who has the last laugh, I have to say, this also belongs to one thing and one thing!
Seeing that the two of them finally stopped arguing, Liu Xiu clapped his hands and said: "Zizhang went to attack Boting, Yuanbo went to attack Xiping, this time to seize the two places, we must fight quickly, and we must not delay time." ”
"Subordinates obey!" Ma Wu and Wang Ba bowed their hands in unison, then glanced at each other again, and walked out of the camp with their heads held high. After leaving the camp, the two didn't look at each other again, one to the left and the other to the right.
After the two of them left, everyone present couldn't laugh or cry. Liu Xiu looked at Choshi and asked, "Second situation, what is the movement between Pingyu and Chengyang?" ”
Choshi said: "It's okay to be peaceful, the Runan County Army has long been requisitioned by the imperial court, and the county government is almost useless now. As for Cheng Yang......" He hesitated for a moment and didn't finish his sentence.
Liu Xiu looked at Choshi in confusion and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Liu Sheng?" ”
Choshi frowned and said, "The brother who mixed into Chengyang got a piece of news, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Oh? What's the news? ”
"After the defeat of the Mang army in Kunyang, Yan You and Chen Mao took advantage of the chaos to escape, and now the two have fled to Chengyang and taken refuge under Liu Sheng's command." Choshi period returns. Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Yan You and Chen Mao are their old enemies, when they were in Nanjun, they had defeated Wang Changbu, obviously so that Wang Changbu's entire army was annihilated, and later the two led the army to Nanyang to reinforce Wancheng, which was their own
After Fang was defeated, he ran to Luoyang, followed Wang Yi, entered Yingchuan, and continued to be his enemy. These two sworn enemies of their own side have now taken refuge under Liu Sheng?
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this news accurate?" ”
Choshi said: "The brother who inquired about Chengyang only heard the news, and as for whether it is true or not, it has not been confirmed. Feng Yizheng said: "Lord, as the so-called no wind and no waves, Chengyang has such news coming out, according to the opinion of his subordinates, nine times out of ten it is true!" After a pause, he said again: "Yan You and Chen Mao are not reused under Wang Mang, and they are quite guessed
Taboo, this time the Mang army suffered such a big defeat in Kunyang, Wang Mang was reluctant to severely punish Wang Yi, but he would never let go of Yan You and Chen Mao, and the two of them did not dare to return to Chang'an, which was also reasonable. ”
Zhu You twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What does Liu Sheng want to do?" Doesn't he know that Yan You and Chen Mao are the sworn enemies of our Han army? ”
Feng Yi sneered and said: "Although Yan You and Chen Mao are the mortal enemies of our army, they also have to admit that they are both good talents in governing the army and commanders of the army. "When Kunyang was so critical, Liu Sheng refused to send troops to help, which made Liu Xiu suspicious of him, and now, he accepted Yan You and Chen Mao, Liu Sheng's idea in his heart was already obvious, that is, he wanted to accumulate solid savings here in Runan
force, bigger and stronger, self-reliance as the king.
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "Our department, we need to capture Pingyu first, and we must not give Liu Sheng the opportunity to become big in Runan." If not, Liu Sheng will be opposed! Everyone present looked at each other, all showing solemn expressions, thinking that after their own victory in Kunyang, the situation would be greatly improved, but they didn't expect that Liu Sheng had another incident.
